INTRODUCTION

PRO Unlimited is excited to partner with you to support the Edwards Lifesciences’ Contingent Workforce Program (hereinafter referred to as “CWP”). Our goal is to manage a Program that facilitates performance-based competition, while building relationships with our Supplier partners. This document does not replace any Agreements and/or any Amendments in place between PRO Unlimited and approved Suppliers (“Suppliers” or “Supplier Partners”). It serves as the guideline for processes and procedures for all approved Suppliers.

The Managed Services Program (MSP) in support of Edwards Lifesciences is designed around the following goals:

• Consistent Contract Terms

• Process Efficiencies

• Full Visibility

• Compliance

• Vetted & Aligned Supplier Base

• Vendor Neutral Managed Service Provider

• Single Technology Platform

• Robust Reporting/Analytics

From time to time, this Supplier Handbook may be updated and/or amended. PRO Unlimited will be responsible for notifying the Suppliers that updates have been made and will post content within the Supplier Website or the approved vendor management system (“VMS” or “Wand®”). It is the Supplier’s responsibility to be familiar with the Supplier Handbook and to distribute and communicate the latest versions of the Program guidelines throughout your organization.

CLIENT OVERVIEW

Edwards Lifesciences is the global leader in patient-focused medical innovations for structural heart disease, as well as critical care and surgical monitoring. Driven by a passion to help patients, Edwards collaborates with the world’s leading clinicians and researchers to address unmet healthcare needs, working to improve patient outcomes and enhance lives. Edwards Lifesciences’ roots date to 1958, when Miles “Lowell” Edwards set out to build the first artificial heart. Edwards was a 60-year-old, recently retired engineer holding 63 patents in an array of industries, with an entrepreneurial spirit and a dream of helping patients with heart disease. His fascination with healing the heart was sparked in his teens, when he suffered two bouts of rheumatic fever, which can scar heart valves and eventually cause the heart to fail. Edwards Lifesciences partners with physicians to innovate products designed to help patients live longer, healthier and more productive lives. They focus on medical technologies that address large and growing patient populations in which there are significant unmet clinical needs.

PRO PERSPECTIVE

In the late 80’s, while many companies addressed the need to recruit and place contingent workers, the ever-increasing need to manage the overall process was not being addressed as aggressively. For large corporations, the contingent workforce was quickly becoming one of the most critical and costly elements of their operation.

Page 5 - PRO Unlimited Supplier Handbook for Edwards Lifesciences

This is an element that would increasingly present challenges from a management, tax and benefit liability perspective.

PRO Unlimited was founded in 1991 to meet this void in the marketplace. We firmly believe our tremendous success throughout the years has been due, in no small part, to our commitment to working with our customers and Supplier Partners to achieve innovation. We also believe that our success would not have been possible without a commitment to a very basic principle of customer service that has been a part of our corporate philosophy since its inception. That simple principle is to always deliver more than our customer expects, and to deliver our services with an eye toward exceptional Integrity, Competence and Execution.

We are very proud of our company’s track record in partnering with our customers and suppliers to solve contingent workforce challenges. Our continuing effort to exceed expectations is a commitment our clients can count on, a commitment that comes from the very top of our organization.

Traditional "Vendor-on-Premise" staffing models focus on having one primary vendor filling the majority of a company's staffing Requests. In our onsite model, PRO acts as an unbiased facilitator of the process. This allows companies that are best able to recruit quality candidates in a short period of time to succeed. The need to constantly sell to Hiring Managers is also eliminated in our model, saving staffing companies both time and money.

VISIT OUR WEBSITE: WWW.PROUNLIMITED.COM

ROLE OF THE PRO UNLIMITED AND THE SUPPLIER

PRO Unlimited’s role is to coordinate and manage all temporary Request activity for the client. Additionally, we

will facilitate the communication of issues and concerns on behalf of the Suppliers and client management. We

Page 6 - PRO Unlimited Supplier Handbook for Edwards Lifesciences

are not a temporary staffing service; we do not recruit, nor will we directly fill any temporary Requests

• All Staffing Suppliers get equal access to the client’s Staffing labor needs due to PRO’s non-competitive position.

• Staffing Suppliers are more willing to work with PRO Unlimited due to our “neutral position” as Staffing Desk Manager. This means more information flow to the client and greater control over the Staffing labor pool.

• Requisitions will be filled more quickly, as all Suppliers are competing to fill the requisition first.

Equitable distribution of staffing opportunities means…

o Increased Savings due to markup rate bargaining ability o Consolidated Staffing Supplier information from all vendors

Your role, as a Supplier, is to actively recruit and maintain a solid pool of “best in class” employees.

We are dedicated to superior customer service and quality; together, we can elevate our own level of service, and forge a long lasting, successful and mutually beneficial partnership.

DOS AND DON’TS

• Please contact PRO Unlimited with any program or policy questions. • Do not offer dinner, lunch, or gifts to Edwards managers. • Although we appreciate the thought, the PRO Unlimited team cannot accept invitations to dinner, lunch, or

gifts worth more than $25.

PROGRAM SCOPE

The Managed Service Program (MSP) is an initiative intended to simplify and streamline the process Edwards Lifesciences uses to source, onboard, manage, and offboard contingent workers. This Program is designed to support Hiring Managers with an improved end-to-end process for acquiring contingent workers. This includes an enhanced and simplified Vendor Management System (VMS) called Wand. PRO Unlimited will deliver new, intuitive, comprehensive, and integrated processes, policies, and tools for the procurement and management of Edwards Lifesciences’ Contingent Workforce, including standard rate cards, enhanced risk management, and a single source of entry. As a Supplier within the Program, we view you as our strategic partner and critical to the success of the program. A Supplier’s focus areas will be sourcing and pipelining management, quality assessment and selection, candidate and contingent worker care, ongoing workforce management and retention, and operating as a strategic and market advisor. We will establish a vendor neutral model that will ensure all Suppliers have a competitive and fair operating environment, allowing those high performing and compliant Suppliers the opportunity to perform and be successful.

WAND Helpdesk Information

(888) 368-9141 [email protected] Hours of Operation: 24 hours / 7 days a week

WAND MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

Wand User Access Request & Changes

Wand (VMS) provides online access via secure username and password log in. To maintain proper tracking and SOX compliance, we request that each member of a Suppliers team obtain a separate log in to the Wand system. To request a new log in, please email the Helpdesk at [email protected] with the following information:

Supplier Name: Client Name: Contact Name: Contact Email:

The individual will receive an email with their Wand log in information within 24 hours of receipt of approval. Please be sure to update your Email Assignments in Wand according to the instructions you receive in the email containing your login credentials. This will ensure that the appropriate individuals in your organization receive WAND notifications, etc.

In the event a username or password is forgotten, the accountholder should contact the Helpdesk at (888) 368-9141 to have this reset. If a member of the Supplier team who has access to Wand leaves the organization for any reason, temporarily or permanently (including LOA), the Supplier is to notify PRO Unlimited Helpdesk immediately. In turn, PRO Unlimited Helpdesk will deactivate the Wand login, preventing unauthorized access to the Wand account.

Add Distribution Category / Location

Suppliers should communicate to PRO Unlimited the job categories that their organization can support. PRO Unlimited will evaluate all information to determine how Wand will be configured for automated distribution. Evaluations will be based on geographic footprint, skill competencies, support infrastructure, performance metrics, and business requirements.

In the event that a Supplier would like to have a category or location added to their current service providing, they should contact the PRO Unlimited Operations Manager for consideration. Often, the client must be consulted for any additions to a specific category or location in an effort to maintain the highest level of service and opportunity for the existing Suppliers in each category or location.

If it is determined that the Supplier can no longer service a specific category or location, the Supplier is to notify the PRO Unlimited Operations Manager as an amendment will be made to the Supplier’s contract for that client. The category and/or location will be removed immediately.

PRO ACCOUNT TEAM SUPPORT

Page 8 - PRO Unlimited Supplier Handbook for Edwards Lifesciences

PRO has entered into a contractual relationship with Edwards Lifesciences and has the authority to enforce the terms within the Supplier Agreement that was signed with all PRO Unlimited-approved Suppliers. PRO Unlimited is the Supplier’s main point of contact for questions regarding resumes, clarification on job descriptions, rate questions and any other concerns. Our team works one-on-one with Suppliers to provide clients with the best quality candidates at the most competitive rates and in a timely manner. This highly competitive vendor neutral model promotes faster Request fulfillment, higher quality candidates for each position, and cost savings for our clients. Our Program is also designed to partner with Suppliers to meet the clients’ needs, while respecting their corporate culture. Suppliers value our Program because of the equity the vendor neutral model provides. All Requests are distributed simultaneously to the preferred Suppliers based on category and location. Each Supplier has an equal opportunity to fill the Request and contact PRO Unlimited at any point in the process. The model allows Suppliers to increase their visibility to additional users and, in turn, increase their volume. Suppliers can focus their efforts on recruiting qualified candidates to fill more Requests vs. marketing their services to Hiring Managers.

• Suppliers have one point of contact • Suppliers can access Requests 24/7 through Wand • Suppliers have online access to reporting on Request, headcount, invoicing etc. • Suppliers have opportunities to expand relationships across PRO accounts • Suppliers have onsite support: one stop shop for questions or feedback on the process • Suppliers receive direct feedback on performance and peer ranking from PRO Unlimited • PRO’s consolidated invoicing to clients results in faster payment to Suppliers

INVOICING PROCESS

This section explains guidelines around the Invoice process. Wand timesheets and expenses will drive your invoice to Edwards Lifesciences. PRO Unlimited will be providing a consolidated invoice to our client on behalf of the participating Suppliers and Suppliers will no longer submit invoices directly to Edwards Lifesciences. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the definitions set forth in your Supplier Agreement. Workflow

• The managers, contingent workers, and Suppliers of our client will utilize PRO’s e-procurement system (Wand), which will allow all contingent workers to report time and expenses online. Any sales tax items not accounted for or billing adjustments should be submitted in writing and sent to the address below. Corresponding backup should be attached:

PRO Unlimited, Inc. Attention: Billing Services 1150 Iron Point Road, Suite 100 Folsom, CA 95630

• All additional billing must have the correct Wand Request number listed so that it can be properly

processed. Failure to include the Wand Request number will result in delayed payment to the Supplier. • All invoices will be created weekly from Wand and will be submitted by PRO Unlimited to the client.

o Suppliers should not submit hard copy invoices for time worked. o Expenses will be processed via Wand. The Supplier is responsible to confirm validation of original

receipts. The contingent worker is responsible to provide photocopies or scans of the original receipts to the manager via attachments in Wand.

o Only additional billing items, such as sales tax and adjustments, should be submitted via a hard copy invoice to PRO Unlimited.

• Suppliers will be required to reconcile their contingent workers’ time in Wand each week. This will enable Suppliers to process their contingent worker’s payroll. Suppliers are required to adhere to the following

Page 21 - PRO Unlimited Supplier Handbook for Edwards Lifesciences

applicable laws: a) Supplier has paid, or will pay, its contingent worker(s) for the services; b) Supplier has made, or will make, all required tax withholdings from its contingent worker(s); and c) Supplier has paid, or will pay, any required tax contributions pertaining to its contingent worker(s).

• Upon discovering any discrepancies in an invoice or payment, Suppliers must promptly notify PRO Unlimited so that the parties may resolve the discrepancy. Payment of any discrepant invoice shall not be deemed overdue during such time as PRO Unlimited is using reasonable efforts to resolve such discrepancy, and the time for payment shall be extended during the period that PRO Unlimited is resolving the discrepancy.

• The client shall be entitled to withhold payment of any invoice, or portion of an invoice, where the Supplier has failed to submit proper documentation or where the amount of the invoice is disputed by the client. PRO Unlimited shall notify the Supplier of such action and shall work with the Supplier to promptly resolve any dispute. The time for payment of the invoice shall not commence until proper documentation has been submitted, or the dispute has been resolved.

• Expenses incurred by Supplier in connection with the performance of services shall be considered a cost of doing business. Reimbursement of expenses shall only be made upon prior written approval by the client Manager and if such expenses are reasonable in amount. In addition, all reimbursable travel-related expenses must be in accordance with client’s Expense and Travel Policy, in order to be eligible for reimbursement. Expenses will be processed via Wand; however, original expense report receipt copies must be forwarded to PRO Unlimited.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Please refer to the pricing/rate card within your Supplier Agreement

CONTINGENT WORKER CLASSIFICATION – FLSA STATUS

It will be the responsibility of the Supplier to determine if specific responsibilities of the role classify the contingent worker as Non-Exempt, Exempt or Exempt – Computer Professional. PRO Unlimited will validate their classification upon receiving the contingent worker information. The FLSA classification listed in the Confirmation of Fill form, must match the data in the contingent worker's profile in Wand. If a Supplier is unsure of the classification, please contact PRO Unlimited directly.

For more information on FLSA guidelines please visit: http://www.wagehour.dol.gov

CO-EMPLOYMENT MANAGEMENT

Contingent workers work for the approved Suppliers under which they are employed. We all play a role in ensuring full risk mitigation from co-employment. It is the Supplier’s obligation to ensure full awareness and ongoing management of their workforce.

There are multiple areas we expect a Supplier’s awareness and support toward managing co-employment risks and PRO Unlimited’s guidelines:

• Mitigation: Suppliers should work with contingent workers to: o Work with PRO Unlimited regarding any concerns regarding job issues o Direct the contingent worker to notify Supplier (who will notify PRO Unlimited) of any

necessary time off o Contact PRO Unlimited for any contingent worker assignment inquiries o Contact PRO Unlimited with any harassment or discrimination issues

• Recognition: Edwards Lifesciences will be advised that they should NOT include contingent workers in any company recognition programs. If contingent worker recognition is requested by Edwards Lifesciences or if Supplier proactively chooses to recognize their contingent workers, PRO Unlimited can be engaged for the coordination, if applicable.

• Performance and Discipline: The Supplier is responsible for addressing performance deficiencies and disciplining contingent workers.

• Contingent Worker Check-In: The Supplier is encouraged to schedule 1 week, 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day check-

Page 23 - PRO Unlimited Supplier Handbook for Edwards Lifesciences

ins with the contingent worker, which aligns with PRO’s check-in process with the Manager. The Supplier is expected to share any concerning feedback they may receive from the continent worker with PRO Unlimited immediately so that we are able to address/resolve. We also encourage Suppliers to share positive feedback received from the continent worker as this will be shared with the Manager.

INCIDENT REPORT

The PRO Unlimited onsite staff will be the first notified by client management of any incident involving your employee. In order to capture the specific details of this report, PRO Unlimited will objectively document all information relevant to the issue. You will be immediately notified by PRO Unlimited and expected to become actively involved in identifying a solution. Whatever the decision is, the communication to the contingent worker will be delivered by you, as the employer of record.

The information gathered will include, but not be limited to, the following facts:

• Name of contingent worker • Reporting party • Date of incident • Facts reported • Names of others involved/witness • Clients concerns • Action recommended

PERSONAL INJURY OR ILLNESS

If your employee is involved in a work-related injury or illness that does NOT require emergency medical attention no matter how slight, the injury must be reported to the client manager/supervisor whom they report to and to PRO Unlimited representative immediately in addition to notifying you, their employer.

For work related injuries that require MEDICAL ATTENTION, advise your employees to follow these steps:

• If possible, call the emergency number within the client site, or if your employee is incapacitated, have

someone in the department follow the emergency procedures established by the client. The emergency contact must be given their name, the name of the employer, the nature of the injury or illness, what services are needed (i.e., ambulance or doctor), where they are located specifically at the time of the call. The emergency contact person will notify PRO Unlimited or you, the Supplier, of the call.

• Advise your employee to notify you of any emergency notification information. • Please advise your employees to contact you, their employer, to file a Workers’ Compensation Claim, if

applicable. The information you collect relevant to the on-the-job injury will also be captured by the client and used to document on client’s OSHA 200 log.

TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM) OVERVIEW

Our charge is simple: we expect superior service, attention to detail, timeliness, only the best you can offer, and above all, integrity. Supplier performance is measured and monitored through our proprietary Total Quality Management (TQM) program that has been developed and tested in conjunction with some of the largest and most respected companies in America. Our entire program is predicated on assuring that staffing Suppliers are providing quality

Page 24 - PRO Unlimited Supplier Handbook for Edwards Lifesciences

candidates on a timely basis at competitive rates. PRO Unlimited is dedicated to providing superior customer service to our clients and Suppliers. We expect that your service philosophy is equal to our own. We are constantly seeking ways to improve our internal systems and processes to meet the demands and needs of our clients, and we measure these improvements to ensure that we have accomplished what we have set out to achieve. Onsite audits are also performed periodically and PRO Unlimited performs these audits randomly, but will notify you in advance to schedule a convenient time and relay the expectations. Normally, PRO Unlimited audit reviews contingent worker documentation accuracy and Supplier Handbook maintenance. The ScoreCard is a measurement tool used to evaluate the effectiveness of the staffing Suppliers participating in the MSP services to our client. A Supplier’s “Score” is based upon comprehensive information that is compiled over the quarter including quality, fills, pricing, service, support, and process. At many sites, hard copies of the ScoreCards are sent to the Client Program Sponsor. “Supplier Reviews” are held one week after ScoreCards have been completed. At this review, the Supplier receives a copy of their ScoreCard, along with all background information, and all areas of concern are discussed. This quality program allows us to effectively measure quality performance of the Suppliers for our clients; it also provides us with the opportunity to reward good Supplier performance by decreasing the Supplier pool. Having visibility to each Supplier, we are able to determine which Suppliers should remain active participants in the Program (good performance) and which Suppliers need to be counseled/removed. These expectations mirror those of our client and it is the client who will hold us ultimately accountable for the level of performance and service we offer. Suppliers are measured on the following parameters:

Quality

o Recruiting and placement performance. o Quality of work performed by assigned contingent workers. o Management complaints about assigned contingent workers. o Accuracy of work performed. o Skill set of contingent workers. o Communication skills. o Contingent worker’s attitude.

Delivery

o Ratio of confirmed contingent workers unable to start to successful fills. o Ratio of resumes received to fills made. o Fill ratios on areas of expertise. o Punctuality of contingent worker. o Contingent workers usage of time and materials.

Process/Business/Technology

o Changing name on fill. o Notifying staffing desk at PRO Unlimited of direct Requests. o Adherence to time and expense requirements o Mark up violation

Page 25 - PRO Unlimited Supplier Handbook for Edwards Lifesciences

o Site audit

Support

o Consistency in training of recruiters. o Supplier handbook maintenance.
