WORK ORDER SERVICES AND OWNERSHIP

2.1	Work Orders.

2.1.1

General. InnerWorkings agrees to perform Services for ServiceMaster as set forth in Work Orders issued by ServiceMaster in writing from time to time subject to acceptance by InnerWorkings. InnerWorkings shall perform all Services in a workmanlike and professional manner. The initial Work Order(s) agreed to by the parties is/are set forth as attachments to this Agreement. Any additional Work Order(s), whether or not relating to the same subject matter as the initial Work Order(s), shall become effective upon execution by authorized representatives of both parties. The contents of the Work Order may be included in the body of the Work Order, or in separately signed Attachments, as the parties consider most practical. It may also refer to or incorporate by reference other documentation that has been separately signed by the parties, such as all or a portion of any other Work Orders that the parties have adopted. Work Orders and changes to Work Orders shall be effective only if in writing accompanied by dated signatures of authorized representatives of both parties. In the case of changes, replacement pages initialed and dated by authorized representatives of both parties will be sufficient. InnerWorkings is not authorized to provide to Stores or ServiceMaster, or to commit ServiceMaster to procure, any Services except in accordance with signed Work Orders.

Page 3 of 19

2.2.2

Changes to Work Orders. Changes in any Work Order shall become effective only when a written change request is executed by authorized representatives of both parties. Either party may propose to reduce, alter, amend, enhance, or add to the scope or nature of the Services to be performed under any Work Order or to modify the time or place of performance thereunder. If either party proposes change in the Services to be provided under any Work Order, such party will provide a written change to the Work Order to the appropriate representative of the other party. The request must be clearly identified as a proposal or request for a change to the Work Order and provide information regarding the change comparable to the detail originally included in the applicable Work Order, including a description of the anticipated impact on the Services to be performed.

If either party proposes a change (“Requestor”), then within ten (10) days after the other party’s receipt of the proposal from the other party (“Requestee”), Requestee will advise Requestor of pricing or other terms that Requestee believes will be affected by the proposed changes. Only a material change may result in a pricing change. If the proposed terms are not acceptable to both parties, parties will endeavor to agree upon appropriate and mutually agreeable changes in price, timing or other terms associated with the Change Order. If InnerWorkings and ServiceMaster cannot agree upon such changes within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of proposed changes from ServiceMaster, the Services will continue with no change. InnerWorkings agrees to act in a commercially reasonable manner with regard to terms it requires for any proposed change and ServiceMaster agrees to act in a commercially reasonable manner with regards to the proposed pricing changes. Neither party will be obligated to agree to any change in the Services. This section merely sets forth the manner in which such changes may be accomplished, but each party agrees to act in good faith with respect to changes proposed by the other. InnerWorkings may not decline to accept any change requests that reduce the cost of performance, provided that an equitable adjustment in compensation is made for the out-of-pocket costs and margin of any performance or preparation already undertaken. Further, InnerWorkings may not decline any change requests that increase the cost or magnitude of performance, provided that the changes are reasonable in scope and a commensurate increase in compensation is fixed.

2.2.3

Incorporation of this Agreement by Reference; Precedence. Each Work Order shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and conditions of this Agreement by reference. In the event of any express conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of a Work Order and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Work Order will govern and control with respect to the interpretation of that Work Order; provided, however, that the provisions of the Work Order will be construed to give effect to the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent possible. Any changes or modifications made to this Agreement will apply to all Work Orders, and any changes or modifications made to any Work Order will apply only to that Work Order, unless the parties otherwise expressly agree in writing.

2.2.4

Additional Work Orders. During the term of this Agreement, ServiceMaster may from time to time request InnerWorkings to provide proposals for performing additional Services not then the subject of a Work Order, If InnerWorkings provides such proposal and ServiceMaster desires to accept the same, ServiceMaster will prepare a proposed Work Order in respect thereto. Such Work Order, when accepted by the parties, shall be deemed to supersede InnerWorkings’ proposal, and any standard preprinted terms and conditions contained in InnerWorkings’ proposal, shall not apply unless clearly and expressly stated as being applicable in the Work Order. ServiceMaster will not be liable for any work performed or costs incurred by InnerWorkings prior to agreement upon the terms of the Work Order by ServiceMaster except to the extent authorized in writing by an authorized ServiceMaster representative. InnerWorkings shall not be required to provide any proposal in response to the request of ServiceMaster hereunder.

No such approval shall relieve InnerWorkings from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. Nothing in the Agreement shall constitute any contractual relationship between a subcontractor/freelancer and ServiceMaster or any obligation on the part of ServiceMaster to pay, or to be responsible for the payment of, any sums to any subcontractors. InnerWorkings will properly direct and control its subcontractors/freelancers and will have full responsibility for all Services, whether performed by InnerWorkings or its subcontractors.
