To the extent permitted by applicable law, Provider will have a third party vendor perform a <br /> seven (7) year criminal background investigation by having the third parry perform a search of its private <br /> database of U.S. national criminal records searching for felony convictions and misdemeanor convictions for <br /> crimes of dishonesty. County understands and agrees that the third party vendor's database of U.S. national <br /> criminal records (i) is maintained by the third parry vendor and not a governmental entity, (ii) is an <br /> incomplete aggregation of criminal records and (iii) will not reveal or identify all criminal convictions. If <br /> County requests a copy of the results of the foregoing checks (the "Report"), County agrees, subject to the <br /> requirements of Chapter 132 of the North Carolina General Statutes, to keep the Report strictly confidential <br /> and to use the Report for employment purposes only. County agrees to pay for the cost of the criminal <br /> background investigation within thirty(30) days of receipt of invoice for the same. <br /> (d) Provider may increase its rates to reflect increases in its cost of employing its workers due to <br /> governmental or regulatory changes (e.g., costs associated with higher minimum wages for workers or <br /> increases in taxes, benefits or other costs that may result from any applicable government authority or action). <br /> Provider will provide written notice to County of the increase in its rates. Any increase in Provider rates will <br /> be prospective, starting as of the effective date Provider specifies in the notice. Any such increase shall only <br /> be effective upon the execution of an amendment to this Agreement. <br /> (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Provider shall not be liable for, or <br /> have any duty of indemnification with respect to any acts or omissions of County. <br /> (f) In the event County wishes to convert any of Provider's Assigned Individuals, County agrees <br /> to pay a conversion fee in accordance with this section. The conversion fee will equal 30% of the Assigned <br /> Individual's aggregate annual compensation, including bonuses. The conversion fee is payable if County hires <br /> the Assigned Individual, regardless of the job classification, on either a full-time, temporary (including <br /> temporary assignments through another agency) or consulting basis within twelve months after the last day of <br /> the assignment. The same calculation will be used if County converts Provider's Assigned Individual on a <br /> part-time basis using the full-time equivalent salary; however, the conversion fee will not be less than$1,000. <br /> (g) Any respective obligations of Provider or County hereunder which by their nature would <br /> continue beyond the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement shall survive such termination, <br /> cancellation or expiration. <br /> (h) Provider certifies that, as of the date listed below, it is not on the Final Divestment List as <br /> created by the State Treasurer pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143-6A et seq. In compliance with the requirements of <br /> the Iran Divestment Act Provider shall not utilize in the performance of this Agreement any subcontractor or <br /> consultant that is identified on the Final Divestment List. <br /> [SIGNATURE PAGE TO FOLLOW] <br /> Revised 1/16 3 <br />
