Recycler warrants that all facilities to which Recycler ships Recyclable Material will be licensed and permitted to receive such Recyclable Material. Recycler will obtain Veolia's written approval prior to the use of any treatment, storage or disposal facility, and Recycler will not divert Recyclable Material received hereunder without the consent of Veolia.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. Recycler's vehicle(s) shall be sufficiently clean so as not to contain any contaminants which may react, mix with or change the composition or characteristics of the Materials. Recycler will provide dedicated bulk transport vehicles for the transportation of materials loaded by Veolia, and will not allow loading of any Materials onto the dedicated bulk transport vehicle by any party other than Veolia or its designated subcontractor without Veolia's consent. Recycler's transport vehicle, prior to hauling other materials, goods, or products for other customers of Recycler and after the termination of transportation services for Veolia, shall be cleaned, purged, and decontaminated such that other materials, goods, or products transported by Recycler are not contaminated with Materials. Recycler has obtained and will maintain, during the term of this Agreement, all permits, licenses, and other certificates of approval required by an applicable federal, state or local law, rule, or regulations to allow Recycler to transport the Materials. Recycler will immediately notify Veolia if (i) Recycler is served with notice of any violation of any laws, regulations, or permits which relate to services hereunder: (ii) proceedings are commenced with could lead to revocation of permits or licenses which relate to such services; (iii) permits or licenses relating to such services are revoked; or (iv) Recycler becomes aware that any equipment of facilities related to such services are not in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. If any manifest or other document required by federal, state or local law or regulation is to accompany or be delivered with the Materials, such manifests or documents shall be delivered in the form and number and in the same condition as received by Recyclers from the original generator of the Materials. Recycler has, and Recycler's employees, agents, and subcontractors have, acquired the requisite expertise to safely handle and transport the Materials which Recycler agrees to handle, load, transport or store for Veolia. Recycler understands the hazards and risks to human health, property, and the environment involved in handling or transporting Materials. Recycler is not now, nor will Recycler during the term of this Agreement be prohibited by any federal, state, or local law, rule, regulation, or order from transferring possession and control to the Material for land transport at the designated transfer location. Recycler, Recycler's employee, subcontractors, agents, assignees, or other acting for or on Recycler's behalf shall comply with all applicable regulations for transporting and handling Materials and, when applicable, for transporting and handling non-hazardous Materials.

\*If Recycler instead utilizes a third-party logistics company (3PL) to manage the transportation of the foregoing Materials, Recycler shall ensure that the 3PL is appropriately qualified to transport the Materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. Security Measures. If Recycler transports Materials that are defined in US DOT regulations as non-hazardous materials, Recycler warrants that Recycler has developed and adheres to a Security Plan meeting the requirements of 49 CFR 172.802.

● Recycler shall secure the cargo portion of vehicles transporting packages of Material with a lock or seal while in transit to the destination facility,

● Recycler shall equip its drivers who are transporting Veolia's Materials with a communication device, and shall require that their drivers immediately report any delays enroute, loss of Materials, or security breach to a designated supervisor or management official of the Recycler, and

● Recycler shall immediately report an delays enroute, loss of Materials or security breach to a representative of the Veolia's business unit for which it is performing services.

\*If Recycler instead utilizes a 3PL to manage the transportation of the foregoing Materials, Recycler shall ensure that the 3PL is appropriately qualified to transport the Materials.

**2.**  **<u>Safety</u>** 

Recycler and Veolia will take all necessary precautions for the safety of their employees, subcontractors and agents who assist in the performance of this Agreement. Recycler and Veolia will comply with all applicable laws, regulations and safety standards to prevent accidents or injuries to persons on or about the premises where the Services under this Agreement are being performed.

**3.** **\* <u>Transfer of Title</u>** 

\*Subject to the provisions of Section Four (4) and the limitations of all applicable laws and regulations, title to the Recyclable Material will pass from Veolia and vest in Recycler when the Recyclable Material is delivered to Recycler at Recycler's facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. DELETED

**6.**  **<u>Limitation of Liability</u>** 

Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, in no event will Veolia be responsible for any incidental, indirect or consequential damages (including loss of profits) incurred by Recycler or any third party.

Veolia assumes no liability for the quality of the refining process or return of products to Veolia's Client. Recycler assumes all fiduciary responsibilities and liabilities associated with the scope of work.

**7.**  **<u>Insurance</u>** 

Recycler shall obtain and maintain at its own expense the minimum limits of insurance set forth in the ACORD attached hereto as Appendix B, with Recycler retaining the option to substitute insurance companies, so long as the insurance companies are rated at or better than reflected in Appendix B.

Upon execution of this Agreement and at each insurance policy renewal throughout the term of this Agreement, Recycler will provide Veolia with an ACORD certificate of insurance evidencing that the above-described coverages are in full force and effect. Where available, Recycler will name Veolia as additional insured. All deductibles, co-insurance, or other forms of retention are the sole responsibility of the Recycler. Recycler will not permit any cancellation or non-renewal in the insurance coverage to be provided hereunder without thirty (30) days' written notice to Veolia.

All policies shall be issued on occurrence-based forms, except for coverage (vi), which may be issued on a claims-made form. All claims-made policies will at least be retroactive to the earlier of the date of this Agreement or the commencement of the Recycler's services in relation to the work, and shall be maintained for three (3) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

These insurance requirements will not be construed in any matter as waiving, restricting or limiting Veolia's rights or Recycler's obligations under this Agreement. Veolia does not represent that coverage or limits herein will be adequate to protect Recycler. Recycler remains responsible for any liability not paid by insurance including deductibles, co-insurance and other forms of retention.

**8.**  **<u>Veolia Warranties and Representations</u>** 

Veolia warrants and represents as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Veolia will not mix into
 any single container, substances which may result in a hazardous reaction, or an explosive or shock sensitive mixture.

b. Veolia will comply with all
 laws and regulations applicable to its obligations under this Agreement.

c. Veolia has title, free of
 any claim or encumbrance, to the Recyclable Material and is under no legal restraint which would prohibit transfer of title by Veolia
 to Recycler.

d. Veolia will communicate to
 Recycler those special hazard risks involved in handling the Recyclable Material of which it is or becomes aware.

e. The Recyclable Material delivered
 to Recycler will meet the description and specifications set forth in the Schedule.

Recycler and Veolia will treat as confidential property and not disclose to others during the term of this Agreement, any confidential information concerning the other party including, but not limited to any of the other party's plans, programs, facilities, processes, products, recyclable materials, prices, equipment, operations or Customers which may come within the knowledge of the parties in the performance of this Agreement, without in each instance securing the prior consent of the other party. The parties' obligations under applicable laws and regulations to submit reports and manifests will not be affected by this paragraph. In addition, the disclosure of information in composite form in such a manner as not to identify the other party will not be affected by this paragraph. Information within the public domain, other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, or known to the parties prior to this Agreement will not be considered confidential.

**10.**  **<u>Solicitation</u>** 

Without prior written consent from VEOLIA, Recycler will not seek to solicit any VEOLIA customers ("Existing VEOLIA Customers") whose wastes are being actively managed by Recycler under this contract ("Existing VEOLIA Customer Wastes") to manage hazardous waste and transportation services for any Existing VEOLIA Customer, during the period Recycler is managing Existing VEOLIA Customer Wastes for said Existing VEOLIA Customer and for 90 days after the last load of those Existing VEOLIA Customer Wastes is received by Recycler; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything that may be read to the contrary in this section, providing recycling, treatment, or disposal services without also providing hazardous waste management and transportation services is not precluded under this section. Recycler recognizes that VEOLIA's remedy at law for the breach of this Paragraph would necessarily be inadequate, and Recycler thus stipulates that, in the event of any such breach, VEOLIA shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief (including but not limited to injunctive relief or specific performance) in addition to monetary damages. VEOLIA acknowledges and agrees that (a) as of the date of this Agreement, Recycler may have business relationships of its own with Existing VEOLIA Customers and the continuation of such business relationships does not breach this contract or the limitations of this Paragraph, (b) Recycler may entertain and accept business proposals made by Existing VEOLIA Customers, so long as the initial solicitation for that proposal is not made by Recycler in violation of the first sentence of this Paragraph, and (c) Recycler is free to compete with VEOLIA for the business of any Existing VEOLIA Customer, except for Existing VEOLIA Customer Wastes in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.

**11.**  **<u>Compensation</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. For Services performed hereunder, Veolia will compensate Recycler in accordance with a mutually agreed upon fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Recycler will submit an invoice to Veolia for Services performed which Veolia will make payment within 30 days from the date of the invoice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. In the event that Recycler purchases Recyclable Materials from Veolia, Recycler will make payment for Recyclable Materials to Veolia within 30 days of Recycler's receipt of Recyclable Materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. Recycler will have the right to change its fees by giving written notice to Veolia of such change. Any such change will become effective sixty (60) days after receipt by Veolia of such notice.

**12.**  **<u>Assignment and Subcontractors</u>** 

This Agreement is assignable only upon the express written consent of both parties. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

**13.**  **<u>Recycling</u>** 

Recycler will only recycle Veolia's Recyclable Material at Recycler's owned facilities listed on Appendix A and the listing of all downstream vendors on Appendix A used by the Recycler for further management or recycling of focus material (FM) containing equipment. Recycler shall be required to update the list of downstream vendors on Appendix A as new downstream vendors are utilized.

**14.**  **<u>Independent Contractor</u>** 

Recycler is and shall perform this Agreement as an independent contractor and, as such, shall have and maintain complete control over all of its employees, agents and operations. Neither Recycler nor anyone employed by it shall be, represented, act, purport to act or be deemed to be agent, representative, employee or servant of Veolia.

**15.**  **<u>Term and Termination</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. This Agreement will be in effect for one (1) calendar year from the date of execution by Veolia and will continue from year to year thereafter. Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice. No termination of this Agreement will have any effect on Recycler's right to compensation for services rendered. The provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, and 9 will survive any termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Notwithstanding the above, either party shall have the right to cancel this Agreement immediately if the other party becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, has a bankruptcy petition filed by or against it or breaches any material term.

**16.**  **<u>Force Majeure</u>** 

Except with respect to the indemnification obligations of Section 5 and the obligation of Veolia to deliver conforming Recyclable Material, neither party will be liable for failure to perform hereunder due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

**17.**  **<u>Notice</u>** 

Routine notices of conditions or situations affecting the Services performed under the Agreement will be given in writing between designated operating personnel of Recycler and the Veolia. All other notices will be given in writing to the parties as follows:
