Any attempt by Supplier to subcontract any performance, obligation, or responsibility under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Gap, shall be null and void and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

Gap shall have no approval right with respect to such Shared Subcontractors. If, however, Gap expresses dissatisfaction with the services of a Shared Subcontractor, Supplier shall work in good faith to resolve Gap’s concerns on a mutually acceptable basis and, at Gap request, replace such Shared Subcontractor at no additional cost to Gap.
