RECITALS

WHEREAS, Company performs drug and alcohol testing facilitation services in its capacity as a Consortium/Third Party Administrator (C/TPA), as that term is defined in Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 40 (§40.3), on behalf of customers regulated by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), by state public utilities commissions (PUCs), or by similar state or federal agencies;

WHEREAS, Customer employs certain employees and/or contractors ("Employees") who perform safety-sensitive functions in industries regulated by the DOT or a similar state or federal agency, for which pre-employment, ongoing, and circumstances-driven random drug and alcohol testing is required; and

WHEREAS, Customer desires to engage Company for the purpose of facilitating the random drug and alcohol testing of its eligible employees, and for the provision of other services related to Company's compliance obligations under 49 C.F.R. Part 40.

ARTICLE I: DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01 Definitions. The following terms shall have the following definitions for purpose of this Agreement:

"Agency" or "Agencies" shall mean one or more United States regulatory or supervisory agencies for which Customer owes reporting or compliance obligations, including, as applicable, the FAA and FMCSA.

"Applicable Law" shall mean the laws applicable to Customer by virtue of its industry and its employment of Safety-sensitive employees, including but, not limited to, the Code of Federal Regulations (e.g., 49 CFR Part 40, 49 CFR Part 383, etc.) and other relevant state and federal laws, whether promulgated prior to or during the term of this Agreement.

"Safety-sensitive" with respect to Customer's employees, shall mean (i) for purposes of the FMCSA, drivers who operate a commercial motor vehicle in commerce in any state; and (ii) for purposes of the FAA, any individual responsible for performing one or more safety-sensitive functions enumerated as safety-sensitive by that Agency from time to time. In each case, a "safety-sensitive" employee shall include all individuals actively performing, ready to perform, and/or immediately available to perform any safety-sensitive duty, as applicable.

"Services" shall mean any drug and alcohol testing facilitation services, and similar services described with greater particularity in Section 3.01 that Company expressly commits to perform under this Agreement, as the Parties might mutually agree in writing to modify, expand, or contract such services over time.

ARTICLE II: TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 2.01 Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall continue in perpetuity unless terminated by either party in accordance with Section 2.02, below.

Section 2.02 Termination. The parties may terminate this Agreement as follows:

(a) Termination for Convenience (Customer). Customer may immediately terminate this Agreement for convenience on written or oral notice to the Company.

(b) Termination for Convenience (Company). Upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, which may be by email, Company may terminate this Agreement and suspend all Services provided hereunder.

(c) Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time for cause if (i) the other party breaches a material term of this Agreement and fails to cure the same within three (3) business days following receipt of written notice from the aggrieved party of such breach (unless such party is afforded a shorter cure period under this Agreement), or (ii) immediately, if the other party ceases its operation, dissolves or commences any bankruptcy, receivership, or other procedure for the relief from creditors. For purposes of this Section 2.2(c), Customer's payment obligations of any kind shall each be construed as a "material term," the breach of which shall entitle Company to immediately terminate this Agreement.

Section 2.03 Effects of Termination. The last date of the Term of this Agreement, having been terminated pursuant to this Article 2, shall be the "Termination Date." Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Agreement, within ten (10) business days from the Termination Date, Company shall deliver to Customer any unremitted employee test result, evidence of employee testing, annual or other regular testing due but not yet delivered to Customer. Alternatively, at the parties' mutual election and at Customer's expense (which shall mean Company's reasonable administrative costs, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law), Company shall immediately deliver all such employee and related records in its possession to a substitute C/TPA appointed by Customer. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and the operation of this Section 2.03, Company shall maintain all records in its possession it is required under Applicable Law to maintain, and for the duration specified therein, including, but not limited to, annual reports submitted to any Agency and other records related to the testing process or training.

ARTICLE III: SERVICES AND FEES

Section 3.01 Company Services. During the Term, Company shall provide Customer with the services below (the "Services"), as each are requested from Customer through Company's online service portal (the "Portal"), by telephone, or by any other channel in which Company accepts requests for Services.

(a) Pre-Employment Testing. Company shall coordinate pre-employment testing of those prospective and newly-hired employees identified by Customer through the Portal in accordance with Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section 3.01(a), pre-employment testing shall include testing of current Customer employees who are transferring to a Safety-sensitive position or performing Safety-sensitive functions and not previously subject to drug or alcohol testing under Applicable Law (subject to Section 3.01(h)). Customer shall be solely responsible for determining whether a prospective, new, or transferred employee is required to submit to pre-employment testing under Applicable Law, including whether or not the functions to be performed or position to be filled by the employee are classified as Safety-sensitive.

(b) Random Employee Testing. Company shall coordinate quarterly (i.e., January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, October 1st) random drug and alcohol testing of those Customer's Safety-sensitive employees identified by Customer through the Portal, by telephone, or otherwise (the "Employee Pool"), with such coordination as provided in accordance with Applicable Law. The Company will utilize randomizing software deemed compliant by the DOT or other relevant state or federal Agencies, and shall, to the best of Company's abilities, provide a strictly random drawing from the Employee Pool (or from a broader consortium of third-party test candidates, as applicable), which pool shall include all personnel subject to testing, including, but not limited to, temporary and seasonal employees. Where Customer is subject to regulation by more than one Agency, Company shall be permitted to assign all Employees to the same Customer Pool or Consortium Pool, in its sole discretion. At Customer's election, Company shall provide Customer with notification of random employee selection by text message, which messages shall have the same effect as messages delivered through the Portal, by mail, or otherwise. Customer is responsible for any and all fees and costs associated with receiving text messages. Customer may opt-out from receiving text-based notifications at any time by communicating such intent to Company in the manner described in Section 8.03.

Company shall identify those employees selected for random drug or alcohol testing on a Customer Pool or Consortium Pool basis, as follows:

(i) Customer Pool. Where Customer has a list of qualifying Safety-sensitive employees and contractors consisting of ten (10) or more individuals, on mutual agreement by the parties, Company shall establish a random pool of such individuals to the exclusion of all third parties (a "Customer Pool"). Company shall conduct random employee selections exclusively from this Customer Pool, at the rates of selection described in Section 4.01 and 4.02.

(ii) Consortium Pool. Pursuant to 49 CFR 40.347 and other Applicable Law, Company may combine Safety-sensitive employees from one or more employers or DOT-regulated industries (e.g., commercial trucking and aviation) into a single random pool (each, a "Consortium Pool"). In the event Customer has fewer than ten (10) qualifying employees or contractors as part of its Employee Pool, Company will automatically assign Customer's employees to a Consortium Pool for random selection.

(c) Reasonable Suspicion Testing. Where prompted by Company's suspicion of drug and/or alcohol abuse or consumption, as provided under Applicable Law, Company shall coordinate the testing of those Employees, which determination of suspicion by Customer must be supported by a supervisor's observations in accordance with DOT guidance, including, but not limited to then-current U.S. Department of Transportation Drug & Alcohol Supervisor Training Guidance. Company is not responsible for Customer's failure to promptly initiate Employee testing in response to reasonable suspicion of alcohol or drug use as required under Applicable Law, for misapplying metrics and parameters to suspicious activities, or any other Customer error or oversight relating to its Employees under this Section.

(d) Post-Accident Testing. Company shall coordinate the post-accident testing of Customer's Employees in accordance with Applicable Law, as prompted by Customer from time to time. Company shall be under no independent obligation to affirmatively commence any post-accident testing except as prompted by Customer, nor to independently confirm the reasonableness of Customer's assessment of suspicion.

(e) Return to Duty & Follow-up Testing. Company shall coordinate the "return to duty" and "follow-up" testing of Customer's Employees in accordance with Applicable Law, as prompted by Customer from time to time.

ARTICLE IV: TESTING STANDARDS AND THRESHOLDS

Section 4.01 Random Alcohol Testing Standards. The rate of random alcohol tests administered to Customer's Employees shall be as prescribed under the Agency rules applicable to the Employees, which shall be as follows: (a) for Employees regulated under the FMCSA, ten percent (10%); (b) for the FAA, ten percent (10%); and (c) for all other Agencies, in accordance with the current Random Rate Federal Register Notice, incorporated herein by reference, as it may be amended from time to time.

Section 4.02 Random Drug Testing Standards. The rate of random drug tests administered to Customer's Employees shall be as prescribed under the Agency rules applicable to the Employees, which shall be as follows: (a) for Employees regulated under the FMCSA, fifty percent (50%); (b) for the FAA, twenty-five percent (25%); and (c) for all other Agencies, in accordance with the current Random Rate Federal Register Notice, incorporated herein by reference, as it may be amended from time to time.

Section 4.03 Randomization Standards. Company shall generate a pool of Employees subject to randomization using the list of Employees made available to it by Company through the Portal (or as otherwise provided to Company). Company shall be under no independent obligation to determine the accuracy of any employee list, and shall be entitled to rely upon the active list of employees on the Portal. Where Company uses software, algorithms, or other methodologies to randomize its sampling of Customer Employees, those tools shall meet the minimum standards for scientific validity established by the DOT from time to time (e.g., random-number tables, computer-based random number generators traceable to specific employees, etc.). Customer shall have no right to examine these randomization tools (including the software they are comprised of), insist upon their modification, or demand an independent assessment of the accuracy of Company's randomization tools. Where Employees are placed into an Employee Pool or Consortium Pool that includes employees regulated by multiple Agencies, the more stringent of the several applicable Agency standards shall be applied to Customer's Employee Pool. Customer specifically acknowledges that all Employees are replaced into the random pool after each selection period, and as such, any given Employee may be selected for testing multiple times, even where they have recently tested.

Section 4.04 Approved and Alternate Collection Sites and Testing Laboratories. Through the Portal, Company shall refer Customer's Employees to one of several urine and/or breath collection sites approved by any applicable Agency to receive or take urine and breath samples, which collection sites shall perform screenings or remit such samples to a third party laboratory to perform screenings and tests. Customer acknowledges that beyond confirming a site’s or laboratory’s certification by the DOT to perform such sample collection and/or testing, Company shall have no independent obligation to verify the credentials of its third party sites or laboratories. Customer shall be free to direct its Employees to a qualified collection site or laboratory of its own choosing outside the Portal, but shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by such election (including processing and administrative fees charged by Company). Company shall be under no obligation to perform any coordination-related Services with respect to samples directed to sites or laboratories outside the Portal, including with respect to follow-up procedures, all of which Customer agrees to assume (except as the Parties otherwise agree in a separate writing, which may be by email). Where Customer elects to use an alternate approved laboratory, it shall be one of the following, or Company shall owe Customer no Services with respect to such Employee:

QUEST DIAGNOSTICS LABORATORY CORPORATION OF AMERICA

Section 4.04 Testing Procedures. Third party sample collection sites and laboratories shall establish their own procedures and practices relating to, among other things, criteria for establishing diluted samples, invalid specimens, substituted samples, acceptable levels of adulterants, storage and retention of specimens, and recordkeeping obligations. Company is not responsible for any third party site or laboratory's compliance with Applicable Law, and any actions, claims, damages, or grievances Customer's may have against such third parties shall be directed solely at such third parties.

Section 4.05 Cancelled Tests. Customer shall be solely responsible for directing its Employees who receive a cancelled test result (where a negative result is required) to immediately provide another testing specimen. While Company will not bill Customer for testing errors caused by the actions of third party collectors, labs, or other similar parties, Customer shall be responsible for any costs and charges resulting from the Customer's Employee's actions, including, but not limited to, specimen adulteration or any other factors resulting in an inconclusive or cancelled test, and Company shall bill Customer for same. Company shall be privileged to determine, in its sole reasonable discretion, whether Employee error or conduct is the proximate cause of any such cancelled or inconclusive test result.

ARTICLE V: REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING

Section 5.01 Test Results Reporting. Upon receipt from the MRO of any positive, negative, or cancelled test result (including the refusal of an Employee to submit to testing), Company shall timely provide Customer with such information, which may include a copy of each drug or alcohol test performed for an Employee, through the Portal, as written evidence of the test and its result. In the event Customer receives any test result directly from the MRO or otherwise, Customer shall immediately forward such result to Company for recordkeeping purposes.

Section 5.02 Annual and Recurring Reports. For the duration of the Term, Company shall provide Customer with an annual report of testing, consisting of an aggregate statistical summary of results, and remit a copy of same to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance, or to any other Agency entitled to such reporting. As the parties agree, and for an additional fee outlined in Company's fee schedule, Customer may request that Company perform more frequent report generation and remittance Services. Upon termination, Company shall provide Customer (or a third party auditor requesting such information) and annual report at an additional fee, subject to Applicable Law.

Section 5.03 Record Retention and Transmission. Company shall maintain all information necessary and relevant to the operation of a drug and alcohol compliance program on Customer's behalf, including, but not limited to, the names of employees in random pools, random selection lists, copies of notices, and positive, negative, and “refusal to test” individual test results. Where Company is required by law to transmit information to the Customer, it shall do so in a manner that ensures the information reaches Customer within the same time periods required under Applicable Law. On notice by the Customer, Company shall immediately transfer all records pertaining to Customer and its Employees to any other service agent (e.g. C/TPA) Customer designates. Company shall be permitted to charge a reasonable administration fee for conducting this transfer, but will not charge a fee for a release of the records.

ARTICLE VI: CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 6.01 Confidentiality. Company will take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of information concerning Employee drug and/or alcohol test results generated pursuant to this Agreement, the identity and employment status of Employees, and any other similar nonpublic information (collectively, "Employee Information"), and shall not disclose Employee Information to any third party (including any representative of Customer not expressly authorized by Customer to receive such Employee Information) without Customer's prior approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where disclosure of Employee Information is required under Applicable Law, Company shall timely comply with all such third party requests. Subject to Applicable Law, Company shall share Employee Information with contractors, employees with a need to know the information, and other third parties bound by duties of confidentiality no less stringent than those provided here. Per 49 C.F.R. §40.351, Company shall not provide individual test results or other confidential Employee Information to another employer without a specific, written consent from the Employee, will not use blanket consent forms authorizing the release of Employee testing information, and will establish and employ adequate confidentiality and security measures to ensure Employee Information is not available to unauthorized persons, which might include ensuring the physical security of records, sufficient access controls, and computer security measures to safeguard data in Company databases. Customer's confidentiality obligations with respect to the Portal shall be governed by the Portal's terms and conditions, incorporated herein by reference, as they may be amended from time to time.

Company is not responsible for reviewing Customer's policies and procedures for compliance with Applicable Law.

(c) Employee Lists and Classification. Customer shall be solely responsible for identifying those Employees classified as Safety-sensitive or performing Safety-sensitive functions, for providing Company with a current and complete list of eligible Employees, and promptly removing Employees from and adding Employees to its list of Safety-sensitive Employees within the Portal. Company is not responsible for Customer's failure to properly classify its Employees or maintain a current and updated list of Employees, and shall hold Company harmless from any damage Company experiences as a result of its own noncompliance with Applicable Law, pursuant to Section 7.02. Any update to Customer's list of Employees shall occur no less frequently than on a monthly basis (except where there are no changes).

(d) No Prior Notice of Screening. Customer shall not take any action likely to result in its Employees being notified of their selection for drug and/or alcohol testing.

(e) Employee Testing.

(f) Non-Circumvention. Customer shall not communicate directly with the MRO or any similar service provider except on Company's express prior written permission.

(g) FMCSA Clearinghouse Registration. Beginning January 6, 2020, commercial motor carrier employers are required to register for the FMCSA Commercial Driver's License Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse (the "Clearinghouse") and comply with all its terms. Customer is solely responsible for registering as an employer with the Clearinghouse, for appointing a representative to serve as administrator ("Clearinghouse Administrator"), for replacing the Clearinghouse Administrator on a timely basis as necessary, for identifying candidates for employment for which pre-employment queries of the Clearinghouse are required, for ensuring prospective and active Employees consent to Clearinghouse queries, for running annual reports to verify whether information about the Customer has been reported, and other Clearinghouse-related obligations. Customer expressly acknowledges that Company is under a legal obligation to report to the Clearinghouse any Employee or Customer violations of applicable testing regulations, including: verified positive, adulterated, substituted controlled substance results; alcohol results in excess of 0.04 BAC; Employee refusals to take required drug or alcohol tests; and "actual knowledge" violations, which include on-duty drug and/or alcohol use, including DUI violations, use of alcohol within 4 hours of going on-duty, use of alcohol within 8 hours of a qualifying accident, and the use of a Schedule 1 drug or non-prescribed use of prescription medication.

(h) Portal Terms and Conditions; Privacy Policy. Customer shall abide by the terms and conditions, and shall acknowledge the privacy policy, of the Portal, available on the Portal and incorporated herein by this reference, as such policies may be amended from time to time.

Section 7.02 Indemnification; Indemnification Procedures. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, including its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, and other representatives, against all liability, demands, claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including costs of suit and attorney fees) that may occur directly or indirectly in connection with or related to Customer's performance under this Agreement, and which is caused in whole or in part by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct of the Customer (or Customer's employees, contractors, agents, or other representatives).

As a condition precedent to Customer's obligations under this Section, Company shall give Customer prompt written notice of any facts upon which Company intends to base a request for indemnification, including, but not limited to, a description of any third-party claim and the nature and amount of any damage, costs, or losses (to the extent known or suspected at the time of notice). Company shall promptly furnish to Customer copies of all documents received with respect to any third party claim. Customer's duty to defend shall commence immediately upon receipt of notice of any applicable claim. Customer may assume, at its sole option, control of the defense, appeal, or settlement of any third party claim reasonably likely to give rise to an indemnification claim hereunder by sending written notice of the assumption to Company, acknowledging responsibility for the defense of all applicable claims, within ten (10) business days of Customer's receipt of notice of any indemnifiable claim. Company shall fully cooperate with Customer in connection with any such defense, and may employ separate counsel to represent it, at any time, provided that Company is solely responsible for the costs and expenses of such separate counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may elect to defend any claim against it with counsel of its own choosing, without Customer's participation, if Customer fails or refuses to properly assume the defense. If Company controls its own defense, Customer shall reimburse Company promptly and periodically for all reasonable legal costs and remain responsible to Company for any losses owing to third party claims. Company shall not settle or compromise any third party claim without the prior written consent of Customer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
