Akorbi has contracted hereunder, and because of the confidential information to be obtained by or

rights or remedies to which Akorbi is or may be entitled at law or in equity under this Agreement.

19.4 Injunctive Relief. Independent Contractor agrees that the remedy at law for any breach

may have, Akorbi shall be entitled, without the necessity of proving actual damages, to temporary
and permanent injunctive relief.

19.5 Unenforceability. Akorbi and Independent Contractor hereby agree that in the event the
covenant contained in this Section should be held by any court or other constituted legal authority to

consider this Agreement to be amended and modified so as to eliminate therefrom that particular
geographical area as to which such restrictive covenant is held to be void or otherwise
unenforceable and, as to all other areas covered by this Agreement, the terms and provisions hereof
shall remain in full force and effect as originally written. Akorbi and Independent Contractor further
agree that in the event the covenant contained in this section should be held by any court or other

covenant shall remain in full force and effect as if originally written.

Subcontractor Staffing Agreement
(a) That there exists no actual or potential conflict of interest concerning the Services to be
performed under this Agreement. Independent Contractor represents that Independent Contractor's
performance under this Agreement (including without limitation the performance of Services by
Assigned Worker) does not require the breach of any agreement or obligation to keep in confidence
the proprietary information of another party. Neither Independent Contractor nor any employee or
agent of Independent Contractor will bring to Akorbi or a Client or use in the performance of
Independent Contractor's duties under this Agreement any materials or documents of another party
considered confidential or proprietary unless Independent Contractor has obtained written
authorization from such party, and the informed consent of Akorbi and Client, for the possession
and use of such materials;

(b) That it will fully comply with any and all applicable federal, state and local laws, codes,
government regulations, wage orders and executive orders, including without limitation those
pertaining to immigration, foreign nationals working in the U.S., import or export controls, or labor
and employment. For the avoidance of doubt, Independent Contractor further warrants that any
credit or background checks provided or facilitated by Independent Contractor will be in full
compliance with applicable privacy and consumer laws. Independent Contractor acknowledges and
agrees that all Independent Contractor employees subject to the terms of this Agreement have been
screened against the U.S. Government prohibited parties lists (including the Department of
Commerce's Denied Persons List, the Department of State's Debarred Parties List, and the
Department of Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals List). Independent Contractor also agrees
to comply with all applicable anti-bribery laws, including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,
and agrees that neither Independent Contractor nor any Assigned Worker has, and will, in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or in connection with any other
business transactions involving Akorbi or Client, pay, offer, promise, or authorize the payment or
transfer of anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any government official or employee
(including employees of government-owned or -controlled companies or public international
organizations) or to any political party, party official, or candidate for public office. Akorbi will
have reasonable access to Independent Contractor's books and records related to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the right to audit them on a periodic basis. Independent
Contractor represents and warrants that it will provide regular anti-corruption training and
appropriate diligence and background checks on any Assigned Workers who may be interacting
with government officials on Akorbi or Client’s behalf;

(c) That the Services will be of highest professional quality and performed consistent with
generally accepted industry standards.

assignment with the Client and does not depart from an assignment before the end date of the

20.2 If the Services provided hereunder do not meet the warranties or criteria specified
herein or otherwise applicable, Akorbi or Client may, at its option, (i) require Independent
Contractor to correct at no cost to Akorbi and Client any defective or nonconforming Services, or
(ii) correct the defective or nonconforming Services itself and charge Independent Contractor with
the cost of such correction. The foregoing remedies are in addition to all other remedies at law or in
equity or under this Agreement and will not be deemed to be exclusive. Independent Contractor will
promptly repair or replace at its own expense all damages, scars or disfigurements to any materials
Page 7 of 12
Subcontractor Staffing Agreement
or property that is part of, or contained in, Akorbi or Client’s premises that are the result of the
methods or materials used or employed by Independent Contractor, any Assigned Worker, or any
other agent of Independent Contractor.

21. Delegation and Subcontracting.

21.1 Independent Contractor will not delegate its duties or subcontract any work performed
under the terms of this Agreement without prior written authorization from Akorbi. Independent
Contractor will remain liable for all subcontracted obligations and for any acts or omissions of its
delegates or subcontractors.

21.2 Independent Contractor will require its delegates or subcontractors to agree, in writing,
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

21.3 Notwithstanding any delegation or subcontract, Independent Contractor will remain


obligated to Akorbi in the performance of Services under this Agreement, and will remain bound by
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

22. Sole Employer Status of Independent Contractor. Independent Contractor acknowledges


and agrees that any Independent Contractor personnel providing the Services (including each
Assigned Worker) is and will remain employees of Independent Contractor exclusively, with no
expectation or entitlement to compensation, stock, or any other benefit of employment with Akorbi
or Client. Nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted or construed as creating or establishing the
relationship of employer or employee between Akorbi and Independent Contractor or between
Akorbi and any employee or agent of Independent Contractor (including any Assigned Worker).
Independent Contractor will be solely liable for the conduct of each Assigned Worker and his or her
compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement. If a worker provided by Independent
Contractor to perform the Services is determined by a final, non-appealable state or federal agency
or court decision to be Akorbi or Client’s employee, that worker will be reclassified as an employee
on the effective date of the agency/court determination and will receive no benefits from Akorbi or
Client, except those mandated by state or federal law, even if by the terms of Akorbi or Client
benefit plans or programs in effect at the time of such reclassification, that worker would otherwise
be eligible for such benefits.

Independent Contractor agrees to advise all of its personnel performing the Services of all of the
foregoing.

23. Indemnification.
