(i) Supplier shall appoint to the Service Delivery Organization a sufficient number of individuals to perform the Services and satisfy the Service Levels and shall assign individuals with suitable training, education, experience and skills to perform the Services and the responsibilities of the position to which such individual is assigned. Upon request, Supplier shall provide Customer

(d) Additional Infringement Remedies.
