5. SystemOne will provide the manpower, equipment, lighting, materials and electrical generators, as needed, to complete the inspection and Repair at the Customer, Branch, and Pomona DC sites in accordance with this Agreement. SystemOne will utilize Safety-Kleen Premium Solvent supplied by Safety-Kleen at no cost to SystemOne, unless a spill or test procedure makes it impractical to return significant quantities of solvent to storage. To the extent that Safety-Kleen cannot, as reasonably determined by Safety-Kleen, provide material handling equipment (e.g. forklifts) as set forth below, SystemOne shall at its expense provide such equipment.


	6. SystemOne will install the required replacement parts or materials needed to Repair any factory defect or leaking solvent storage tank found.


	7.

SystemOne will then pick up another truckload of Washers which have not yet been inspected and Repaired in accordance with this Agreement from the DCs and the Macon site, transport them to the SystemOne factory for inspection and Repair, as appropriate, and subsequent return to the specified location, and continue the process until all Washers in Safety-Kleen’s inventory as of the date hereof (approximately 6000) have been inspected and Repaired.

Any delay requested by Safety-Kleen in writing, or confirmed by the parties in writing shall be added to the time periods for SystemOne’s performance of this Agreement. SystemOne has initiated ongoing inspection/Repairs at the SystemOne factory, and will provide reasonable cooperation in allowing Safety-Kleen personnel to be present for such inspection/Repairs at the SystemOne factory. The failure of Safety-Kleen to provide such personnel shall not prevent SystemOne from performing such inspection and Repair work.

SystemOne will pay, within 30 days after receiving a statement from Safety-Kleen, any actual out-of-pocket costs (consisting of labor involved in loading and unloading Washers) incurred by Safety-Kleen at SystemOne’s request, in connection with this inspection and Repair program. Safety-Kleen shall provide to SystemOne such supporting data for any such expenses as SystemOne may reasonably request. Except as set forth in the last paragraph of Section 3B of this Agreement, Safety-Kleen reserves the right, pursuant to Section 10 of the Marketing Agreement or otherwise to seek reimbursement and damages for Safety-Kleen’s labor costs, and SystemOne reserves the right to challenge such costs.

2. To the extent available, as reasonably determined by Safety-Kleen, provide available space for inspection and temporary holding for arrival and installation of parts for Repairs, at Branch sites. If such space is not available due to usage or size limitations as reasonably determined by Safety-Kleen, and additional space must be obtained (trailer, etc.), then SystemOne shall be responsible for all out of pocket costs associated with such additional space. It is understood that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Safety-Kleen shall not be required to provide available space if doing so, as reasonably determined by Safety-Kleen, shall disrupt its operations or result in additional costs to Safety-Kleen.
