Section 6.02Indemnification by the Purchasers

.  Each Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Company and its Representatives (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Purchaser contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations and warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations and warranties to the extent applicable; and provided further, that no Company Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential or punitive damages under this Section 6.02.

Section 6.03Indemnification Procedure

.

(a)A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VI, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01.

(b)As soon as reasonably practicable after any Purchaser Related Party or Company Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.  Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith.  If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) days, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof.  Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party.  After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has, within ten (10) Business Days of when the Indemnified Party provides 

	
DM3\6717806.1

written notice of a Third-Party Claim, failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and to notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.  The remedies provided for in this Section 6.03 are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise.

Section 6.04Tax Matters

.  All indemnification payments under this Article VI shall be adjustments to each Purchaser’s Purchase Price except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Article VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.01Expenses

.  Promptly following receipt of an invoice therefor, the Company shall reimburse the Lead Purchaser and its Affiliates for its out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation, fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by the Lead Purchaser and its Affiliates with the purchase of the Purchased Shares; provided, that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the reimbursements described in Section 7.01 (a) are, and will be treated by the parties as, adjustments to the Purchase Price paid by the Purchasers for the Purchased Shares.

Section 7.02Interpretation and Severability

.  Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references in this Agreement are references to the corresponding Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.  All Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof as if set forth in full herein and are an integral part of this Agreement.  All references to instruments, documents, Contracts and agreements are references to such instruments, documents, Contracts and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified.  The word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately following it.  Whenever the Company has an obligation under the Transaction Documents, the expense of complying with that obligation shall be an expense of the Company unless otherwise specified.  Any reference in this Agreement to “$” shall mean U.S. dollars.  Whenever any determination, consent or approval is to be made or given by a Purchaser, such action shall be in such Purchaser’s sole discretion, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.  

	
DM3\6717806.1

If any provision in the Transaction Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable, (a) such provision shall be fully severable and the Transaction Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of the Transaction Documents, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s), and (b) the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Transaction Documents so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.  When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded.  If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Any words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa.  The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.  The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

Section 7.03Survival of Provisions

.  The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 3.08, Section 4.01, Section 4.03 and Section 4.05 hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement indefinitely, (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12 shall survive until the date that is 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation and (C) the other representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date hereof, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Purchasers.  The covenants made in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall survive the Closing and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of acceptance of any of the Purchased Shares and payment therefor and repayment, conversion or repurchase thereof.

Section 7.04No Waiver; Modifications in Writing

.

(a)Delay.  No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise.

	
DM3\6717806.1

Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of any Transaction Document, any waiver of any provision of any Transaction Document and any consent to any departure by the Company from the terms of any provision of any Transaction Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.  Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  Any investigation by or on behalf of any party shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.

Section 7.05Binding Effect

.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, each of the Purchasers and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

(UNIONIZED LOCATIONS)

BY AND BETWEEN

STONEMOR OPERATING LLC 

AND 

RICKERT LANDSCAPING, INC.

 

 

1

 

 

MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

(UNIONIZED LOCATIONS)

This MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (UNIONIZED LOCATIONS) (“Master Agreement”) is entered into on April 2, 2020 and made effective as of April 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between STONEMOR OPERATING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors or assigns, “Customer”), and RICKERT LANDSCAPING, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Supplier”), an Affiliate of Moon Landscaping, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Moon”).

RECITALS

	
1.
	
Having completed one or more Pilot Periods (as defined in those certain Transition Services Agreements executed by Customer and Moon prior to the date hereof (the “Transition Services Agreements”)), Customer and Supplier now desire to enter into this Master Services Agreement (Unionized Locations), pursuant to which Customer is engaging Supplier to develop, implement and provide all manner of property management and operational services at each of the funeral homes, cemeteries and other properties owned by Customer, the locations of which are identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Properties”), in accordance with the roll-out schedule attached hereto as Schedule 1.

	
2.
	
The Properties covered by this Master Agreement represent properties where certain of the personnel currently employed by Customer are represented by a union (individually and collectively, the “Union”).  Subject to the terms of this Master Agreement, Supplier agrees to make an offer of employment to certain of Customer’s employees, including those personnel represented by a Union. In connection therewith, Supplier agrees to recognize the Union and adopt each and every collective bargaining agreement to which Union and Customer are bound or enter into new collective bargaining agreements with Union (individually and collectively, the “Collective Bargaining Agreement”).  Rickert Landscaping, Inc. and Moon Landscaping, Inc. are Affiliated entities commonly owned and controlled by the same parent entity (“Parent”).  Rickert Landscaping, Inc. is the entity Parent has designated to handle all Union matters, including entering into or adopting Collective Bargaining Agreements; accordingly, Rickert Landscaping, Inc. is entering into this Master Services Agreement for the provision of Services at Customer’s unionized locations. Concurrently with the execution of this Master Agreement, Customer has entered into a Master Services Agreement with Moon for the provision of Services at Customer’s non-unionized locations.  

	
3.

Deviations from Master Agreement, Priority. In the event of a conflict, the terms of the Statements of Work shall be governed by the terms of this Master Agreement, unless an individual Statement of Work expressly and specifically notes the deviations from the terms of this Master Agreement. In the event of a conflict, the terms of each Statement of Work shall govern the terms of the Schedules referenced therein. In the event of a conflict, the terms of this Master Agreement shall govern the terms of the Exhibits referenced herein.   

	
2.
	
Term of Agreement.  The Term of the Agreement will begin as of the Effective Date and will terminate at 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time on December 31, 2024, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 17 of this Agreement. 

	
3.
	
The Services.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Services” means (i) services, functions, responsibilities, activities, tasks and projects to be performed by Supplier set forth in the Agreement, as they may evolve and be supplemented and enhanced during the Term; (ii) the functions, responsibilities, activities, tasks and projects not specifically described in the Agreement as a part of Services which are required for the proper performance and provision of the Services or are an inherent part of, or necessary subpart included within, the Services; 

3

(ii)
	
Responsibilities. Supplier and Customer will each perform their respective duties, obligations and responsibilities (“Responsibilities”) as set forth in each Statement of Work. Customer’s failure to perform a Responsibility will excuse Supplier’s obligation to perform its corresponding obligations under the Agreement only if Supplier provides written notice to Customer of such failure and demonstrates that: (i) Customer’s failure was the direct cause of Supplier’s inability to perform; and (ii) Supplier could not have continued performance by using reasonable methods, activities and procedures. In the event of (i) and (ii), Supplier will be excused from performance of those Services impacted by Customer’s failure to perform only to the extent that, and for so long as, Customer’s failure to perform its Responsibilities prevents Supplier’s performance, and provided that Supplier takes reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of Customer’s failure to perform.

	
 
	
(iii)
	
Scheduling and Communication.  Customer and Supplier shall schedule Services and track the completion of Services through a mutually acceptable scheduling and performance tracking tool (e.g., Smartsheet), pursuant to which:

(B)
	
Supplier will be responsible for task scheduling, resource allocation, and current/completion status;

Both parties to embed mutually agreeable performance metrics and customer complaint resolution requirements in the scheduling and performance-tracking tool.

Customer and Supplier agree that Services will be performed in accordance with the Work Order Management System (“WOMS”) attached hereto as Schedule 2, including the Quality Standards described therein.  The WOMS has been prepared by Customer and accepted by Supplier.  Any proposed updates thereto, which, from time to time, may be necessary to reflect any substantive changes therein, will also be prepared by Customer and provided to Supplier (either in print or electronic 

4

 

 

formats) within a reasonable time prior to the implementation of such changes.  Either Party may, from time to time, request updates or amendments to the WOMS.

(iv)Critical, Time-Sensitive Services; Self-Remedy.  If there is a critical and time-sensitive customer or safety-related Service (e.g., burial) that Supplier is unable to timely perform and/or deliver, and Customer has exhausted all available escalation pathways with Supplier, then, in order to ensure that such Service is handled timely, Customer shall have the right to perform and/or deliver such Service, or engage a Third Party to do so, and all costs and expenses associated therewith that are incurred by Customer will be Supplier’s responsibility and will be deducted from the next Service Fee installment due Supplier. 

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Compliance with Laws and Policies.

all Laws applicable to the portion of the operations of the Customer performed by Supplier as part of the Services, just as if the Customer performed the Services itself, as interpreted, augmented and/or modified by the Customer Compliance Directives (collectively, the “Customer Compliance Requirements”); and

	
 
	
(C)
	
all policies and procedures of general application of the Customer as published by Customer from time to time and delivered to Supplier.

In addition, Customer and Supplier will attend quarterly business review meetings with executive-level representatives of each Party to discuss, among other things, growth opportunities, program improvements and expectations.  

	
 
	
(e)
	
Disaster Recovery Services.  Supplier shall, within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date or such later timeframe as may be approved by Customer, develop a Disaster Recovery Plan adapted to the provision of the Services, which Supplier shall have the capacity to execute and perform. The Disaster Recovery Plan shall be subject to the review, audit and written approval of Customer.

Prior to implementing any material change to the Disaster Recovery Plan, Supplier will provide Customer a copy of such change for Customer’s consent.  Upon Supplier’s determination of a disaster or the possibility of the occurrence of a disaster situation, Supplier shall promptly notify Customer and implement the Disaster Recovery Plan. During any disaster, Supplier will notify Customer daily of the status of the disaster. During a disaster, Supplier will not give greater priority to any of its other customers in its recovery efforts than it gives to the Customer. Upon conclusion of a disaster, Supplier will as soon as reasonably practicable, provide Customer with an incident report detailing the reason for the disaster and all actions taken by Supplier to resolve and/or respond to the disaster.

	
 
	
(f)
	
Hazardous Materials.

 

	
 
	
(i)
	
Supplier shall not bring any hazardous materials onto the Properties, except for those used in the ordinary course of landscape services. All hazardous materials brought onto the Properties by Supplier shall be used and disposed of in full compliance with all applicable local, county, state and federal governmental laws and regulations and manufacturer directions.

	
 
	
(ii)
	
For minor releases of hazardous materials (immaterial quantities of gasoline, oil, antifreeze, etc.), Supplier staff shall:

	
 
	
(A)
	
Immediately call the appropriate Customer representative at the affected Property to report the spill and document the release of hazardous materials at the location; and

(iii)
	
In case of a large release, Supplier staff shall immediately report the release to the local fire department or other applicable local agency/department, Supplier’s manager, and the appropriate Customer representative at the affected Property. The fire department or other applicable local agency/department will, at Supplier’s expense if applicable, take over the incident and do one of the following:

	
 
	
(A)

4.
	
New Services. During the Term, Customer may request that Supplier provide New Services. New Services may be activities that are performed on a continuous basis for the remainder of the Term or activities that are performed on a project basis. If, after review of the Statement(s) of Work, it is determined that the service could qualify as an existing Service, then the Parties will treat such service as an existing Service and Supplier will perform such service in accordance with its existing obligation to perform the Services. If the service does not qualify as an existing Service, then that service will be deemed a New Service. To request a New Service, Customer will deliver to Supplier a written request with reasonable detail regarding such service through the scheduling and performance tracking tool described in Section 3(a)(iii) above (the “New Service Request”).  

Upon receipt of Customer’s New Service Request, Supplier may prepare and deliver to Customer a written statement (the “New Service Response”) describing any changes in products, services, assignment of personnel and other resources that Supplier believes would be required. No New Service implementation shall occur without the mutual agreement of the Parties to the terms and conditions of such New Service including any additional Service Fee associated therewith. Any agreement of the Parties with respect to New Services will be in writing, will constitute an amendment to the Agreement and shall also become a “Service” and be reflected in a new Statement of Work hereto or in an amendment to the existing Statement of Work hereunder.

	
5.
	
Vehicle and Equipment Leasing. The Parties agree that Supplier has leased or will lease from Customer the vehicles and equipment used to service the Properties, identified on Schedule 3 attached hereto (collectively, the “Vehicles and Equipment”), for the duration of the Term. 

7

 

 

 

During the Term, Supplier shall at its sole cost and expense (i) maintain the Vehicles and Equipment in good operating condition, subject to normal wear and tear, and (ii) undertake all repairs and preventive maintenance on the Vehicles and Equipment in accordance with the applicable manufacturer’s recommendations. With respect to those Vehicles and Equipment that may be leased by Customer from third parties, Supplier agrees to utilize said Vehicles and Equipment in a manner that does not render Customer in default under such third party leases. Customer shall be responsible for insuring the Vehicles and Equipment for the duration of the term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Customer and Supplier acknowledge and agree that Supplier has been leasing certain of the Vehicles and Equipment since the “Effective Date” identified in each of the prior Transition Services Agreements, and that each party’s respective obligations relative thereto commenced as of such “Effective Date” and will continue for the duration of the Term of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. 

 

Customer will transfer title to all Vehicles and Equipment then owned by Customer to Supplier at the expiration of the Term on December 31, 2024, and thereafter, Supplier shall be solely responsible for all such Vehicles and Equipment. 

 

	
6.
	
Services Performed by Customer or Third Parties.  Supplier is engaged by Customer on a non-exclusive basis to provide the Services under the Agreement. Accordingly, Customer retains the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to perform itself, or retain Third Parties to perform, any service, function, responsibility, activity or task that is within the scope of the Services or would constitute a New Service.

	
7.
	
Service Fee; Property Enhancement Budgets: For Services performed during the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall pay Supplier a bi-monthly service fee in the amount set forth on the Pricing Schedule attached hereto as Schedule 4 (the “Service Fee”), which Service Fee is inclusive of all applicable taxes (including sales tax).  Invoices shall be due from Supplier on the first (1st) and fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month, and shall be processed and paid by Customer in the nearest following accounts payable processing cycle.   

The Service Fee may be increased by mutual consent of the parties if (1) Customer acquires additional Properties for which Services are needed, or (2) there is a material increase in the scope of Services described in the Statement of Work attached hereto. The Service Fee may be decreased, but only at Customer’s direction, if (1) Customer sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Properties for which Services are being provided, in which event the Service Fee will be decreased by the amount allocated to said Property or Properties as set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto (subject to the year over year adjustments reflected on Schedule 4), or (2) there is a material reduction in the scope of Services described in the Statement of Work attached hereto, in which event the Service Fee will be decreased by an amount mutually agreed to by Customer and Supplier.  

Customer and Supplier shall meet in the fourth quarter of each calendar year to establish a mutually acceptable property enhancement budget for the Properties then covered by this Agreement (each a “Property Enhancement Budget”).  The Property Enhancement Budget shall identify for the following calendar year additional modest Property-specific 

8

 

 

beautification, appearance enhancing or efficiency-driven projects, together with pricing and timelines associated with these activities, which are outside the normal scope of Services. To the extent there are any additional costs and expenses associated with the projects identified in the Property Enhancement Budget, the parties will cooperate with each other in good faith to determine how such costs and expenses will be allocated between the parties.  

	
8.
	
Employees. 

	
 
	
(a)
	
Customer shall identify the personnel currently employed by Customer who perform functions related to the Services, and whose positions will be displaced as a result of the Agreement.  Supplier agrees to make an offer of employment to each of the employees so identified, it being understood and agreed that Supplier’s offer of employment will reflect benefits and compensation that are commensurate with those currently offered by Customer to said employees in order to minimize, to the fullest extent possible, employee attrition as a result of the transition contemplated herein.  Employees who accept such offers of employment (each, a “Rehired Employee”) shall become an employee of Supplier as of the Effective Date.  Effective as of the Effective Date, all Rehired Employees shall become employees of Supplier and shall cease to be employees of Customer.  Supplier shall be solely liable for all liabilities and obligations arising out of the employment of such Rehired Employees that arise after the Effective Date, and Customer shall remain liable, to the extent required by applicable Law, for all liabilities and obligations arising out of the employment of such Rehired Employees accrued up to but not including the Effective Date.   For the avoidance of doubt, as to those Rehired Employees engaged by Supplier prior to the date hereof pursuant to the Transition Services Agreements, the term “Effective Date” as used in the preceding sentence shall mean the Effective Date identified in each of the prior Transition Services Agreements.  

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Rehired Employees may include personnel represented by a Union.  Supplier covenants and agrees to recognize the Union and adopt the Collective Bargaining Agreement or enter into a new Collective Bargaining Agreement with Union to the extent so required.

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
Supplier and its employees, affiliates, agents, contractors and subcontractors shall conduct themselves with an appropriate level of decorum when entering, conducting work at, and leaving the Properties and shall perform all Services and New Services in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt, interfere with or disturb the conduct of Customer’s business or the use or enjoyment of the Properties by Customer or its invitees, licensees or permittees.

(g)
	
Supplier shall have an experienced supervisor on-site at all times when the Services are performed and such supervisor should be bilingual as necessary. 

 

	
 
	
(h)

(i)

(j)
	
Supplier shall be responsible for ensuring that its employees, affiliates, agents, contractors and subcontractors have received proper training and the appropriate personal protective equipment (such as hard hats, back belts and ear protection) to ensure safety and compliance with all applicable local, county, state and federal governmental laws and regulations (including, without limitation, OSHA).

 

	
 
	
(k)
	
All Services shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with applicable local, county, state and federal governmental laws and regulations (including, without limitation, OSHA) and applicable professional horticulture standards, using appropriately trained, uniformed, and supervised personnel, and properly maintained equipment.

 

	
 
	
(l)
	
Any substances applied as part of the Services (including, without limitation, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides) shall be applied strictly in accordance with all applicable local, county, state and federal governmental laws and regulations by properly licensed personnel, and in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions.

 

	
 
	
(m)
	
Supplier shall (and shall cause all subcontractors to), at Supplier’s expense, maintain all applicable licenses and permits necessary for the Services. Supplier shall provide proof of such licenses upon request. 

 

	
9.
	
Engagement of Third Parties by Supplier.  If, in the performance of the Services, Supplier determines that it must retain one or more Third Parties to perform certain work, the cost of which exceeds $500.00, Supplier shall notify Customer and Customer shall have the right to approve such engagement, except to the extent the engagement is necessary in the event of an Emergency (as defined below)  

If Supplier needs to engage the services of a Third Party in the event of an Emergency and such engagement would be subject to Customer approval as set forth above, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval; provided, however, if Supplier is unable to obtain Customer approval either because a Customer representative is unavailable or the nature of the Emergency is such that it requires immediate action, Supplier will be authorized to expend costs and expenses in excess of $500.00 to the extent necessary to mitigate the impact or consequence of the event on the other Party or the Property and/or 

10

 

 

stabilize the Emergency.  “Emergency” shall mean circumstances in which Supplier believes that human life or the Property is in imminent danger or threatened and which require immediate action to protect the Property against damage or destruction, or prevent the occurrence of accident or injury to persons, so threatened or occurring from any cause. In the event of an Emergency, Supplier shall, as soon as is practicable, but not later than twelve (12) hours thereof, notify Customer of such occurrence and of all actions taken and costs incurred and the reasons therefor.

Liability. Subject to Customer’s approval rights set forth in Section 14(a) hereof, Supplier shall, at Supplier’s sole cost and expense, correct any and all Burial Issues that occur as a direct or indirect result of Supplier’s acts or omissions, or the acts or omissions of the Supplier Parties.
