      SCHEDULE C: MARKET RESEARCH OPERATIONS SCHEDULE

      This Schedule governs Services involving the provision of serviced, rather than fully automated, market research operations deliverables by Supplier to Company. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Schedule shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Master Agreement.

      1. STATEMENT OF WORK. Services by Supplier shall be performed in accordance with Statements of Work which may be issued or amended from time to time at the sole discretion of Company.
      2. TERM AND TERMINATION.
        1. The term of a Statement of Work commences upon commission and continues until delivery is complete. 
        2. Company may terminate a Statement of Work at any time, upon notice to Supplier. In such event Company shall, as necessary, pay undisputed fees for any portion of the Services already delivered in accordance with the terms of the Agreement
      3. CALCULATIONS
        1. Each Party shall cooperate in providing statistics and other information needed for the successful execution of a Statement of Work, as required, where doing so does not violate a confidentiality agreement or intellectual property right.  
        2. Definitions and calculations shall be determined by Company, including but not limited to incidence, response rate, completion rate, and quota fail rate. 
        3. The Parties recognize that a change to a Statement of Work or its specifications may justify a corresponding adjustment to the fees.
      4. PRICING, ESTIMATION AND DELIVERY.
        1. Company shall provide information and specifications on an “as is” basis, and no warranty is provided for their accuracy.
        2. Supplier shall make estimations for cost and timing, and claims for delivery, in good faith based on the information and specifications provided by Company. Supplier shall be liable for fulfillment, except where information and specifications provided by Company have proven unfounded. 
        3. Where Supplier is providing Surveys or sample for Surveys, pricing shall not be adjusted if incidence falls within twenty percent (20%) of estimate and/or if interview length falls within five (5) minutes of estimate. By way of example, and without limiting the foregoing, if incidence is estimated at sixty percent (60%), pricing shall not be adjusted if incidence falls within a range of forty-eight percent (48%) to seventy-two percent (72%), and if interview length is estimated at twenty (20) minutes, pricing shall not be adjusted if interview length falls within a range of fifteen (15) to twenty-five (25) minutes.
      5. Supplier shall be responsible for (i) promptly advising Company of risks or challenges in meeting delivery requirements; (ii) promptly advising Company with respect to any unacceptable or potentially unacceptable Deliverables; and (iii) for providing recommendations to Company to resolve such challenges related to the foregoing. Company shall in its sole discretion determine (i) if all, some, or none of the recommendations will be adopted, and if so, how; and (ii) to what extent a Statement of Work should be amended.
