each Task Order issued to and accepted by the Contractor under this master contract
in accordance with the specifications, schedules, and drawings stated in said Task
Orders. The Contractor shall cooperate in consultation and otherwise as may be
practicable with the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative upon the
request of either. Technical Progress Reports, prepared in the manner normally
practiced by the Contractor, shall be furnished the Contracting Officer at such
intervals as may be indicated by the Task Order to which the report pertains. In
addition, the Contractor shall prepare and furnish specifications and/or drawings
on reproducible masters, and full information concerning the components, devices,
apparatus and methods as provided for under each Task Order or as otherwise agreed
to between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer or his authorized represen-
tative and shall deliver them, together with all models developed thereunder,
to the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative. The Contractor
shall maintain records in which descriptions and illustrations of any inventions
made in this work shall be entered as they are made, with appropriate dates,

ARTICLE 3. CHANGES.
The Contracting Officer may at any time, by a written order, and without
notice to sureties, if any, make changes, within the general scope of Task
Orders issued under this contract in any one or more of the following: (i)
drawings, designs, or specifications, where the supplies or equipment to be
furnished are to be specially developed or manufactured for the Government
in accordance therewith; (ii) method of shipment or packing; (iii) place of
delivery; and (iv) the amount of Government-furnished property. If any such
change causes an increase or decrease in the estimated cost of, or the time
required for, performance of the Task Order, or otherwise affects any other
provision of this contract or a Task Order hereunder, an equitable adjustment
shall be made (i) in the estimated cost or delivery schedule, or both, (ii)
in the amount of any fixed fee to be paid to the Contractor, and (iii) in such
other provisions of the contract or a Task Order as may be so affected, and
the contract or Task Order shall be modified in writing accordingly. Any
claim by the Contractor for adjustment under this clause must be asserted
within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by the Contractor of the
otification of change; provided, however, that the Contracting Officer, if
Le decides that the facts justify such action) may receive and act upon any
such claim asserted at any time prior to final payment under a Task Order.
Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute concerning a question of
fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled "Disputes".
However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding
with the Task Order as changed.
ARTICLE 4. LIMITATION OF COST.
(a) It is estimated that the total cost to the Government, exclusive
of any fixed fee, for the performance of any Task Order issued under this
contract will not exceed the estimated cost set forth in such Task Order,

and the Contractor agrees to use its best efforts to perform the work specified
in each Task Order and all obligations under this contract within such estimated
cost. If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that the costs which
it expects to incur in the performance of any Task Order in the next succeeding
thirty (30) days, when added to all costs previously incurred, will exceed
eighty-five percent (85%) of the estimated cost then set forth in the Task Order,
or if at any time, the Contractor has reason to believe that the total cost to
the Government, exclusive of any fixed fee, for the performance of any Task
Order will be substantially greater or less than the then estimated cost thereof,
the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing to that effect,
giving its revised estimate of such total cost for the performance of the Task
Order.
(b) The Government shall not be Obligated to reimburse the Contractor
for costs incurred in excess of the estimated cost set forth in the Task
Order, and the Contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance
under the Task Order or to incur costs in excess of the estimated cost set
forth in the Task Order, unless and until the Contracting Officer shall
b.-aye notified the Contractor in writing that such estimated cost has been
increased and shall have specified in such notice a revised estimated cost
which shall thereupon constitute the estimated cost of performance of the
Task Order. When and. to the extent that the estimated. cost set forth in
the Task Order has been increased, any costs incurred by the Contractor
in excess of such estimated cost prior to the increase in. estimated cost
shall be allowable to the same extent as if such costs had been incurred
after such increase in estimated cost.
ARTICLE 5. ALLOWABLE COST, FIXED FEE, AND PAYMENT.
(a) For the performance of each Task Order issued under this contract,
the Government shall pay to the Contractor the cost thereof determined by
the Contracting Officer to be allowable in accordance with Part 2 of Section
XV of the Armed Services ProcurementS Regulation as in effect on the date of
execution of said Task Order (hereinafter referred to as "Allowable Cost"),
plus such fixed fee, if any, as may be provided for in the Task Order.
(b) Once each month (or at more frequent intervals, if approved by
the Contracting Officer) the Contractor may submit to an authorized repre-
sentative of the Contracting Officer, in such form and reasonable detail
as such representative may require, an invoice or public voucher supported
by a statement of cost incurred by the Contractor in the performance of
a Task Order and claimed to constitute Allowable Cost.
(c) As promptly as may be practicable after receipt of each invoice or
voucher and statement of cost, the Government shall, except as hereinafter
provided and subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below, make payment
thereon as approved by the Contracting Officer. There shall be withheld

quired by Article 7 (i).
The withholding, of any amount or subsequent payment thereof to the Contractor

the Contractor to withhold any amounts from a subcontractor to enforce com-
pliance with the patent provisions of a subcontract.
(d) At any time or times prior to final payment under any Task Order
of this contract the Contracting Officer may cause to be made such audit
of the invoices or vouchers and statements of cost as he shall deem neces-
sary. Each payment theretofore made shall be subject to reduction to the
extent of amounts included in the related invoice or voucher and statement
of cost which are found by the Contracting Officer on the basis of such
audit not to constitute Allowable Cost, and shall also be subject to reduc-
tion for overpayments or to increase for underpayments on preceding invoices
or vouchers. On receipt of the voucher or invoice designated by the Con-
tractor as the "completion voucher" or "completion invoice" and statement

information as the Contractor may request and as may reasonably be required for the
intended use of such property (hereinafter referred to as "Government-furnished
Property"). The delivery or performance dates for the supplies or services to be
furnished by the Contractor under a Task Order are based upon the expectation
that Government-furnished Property suitable for use will be delivered to the Con-
tractor at the times stated in the Task Order or, if not so stated, in sufficient
time to enable the Contractor to meet slich delivery or performance dates. In the
event that Government-furnished Property is not delivered to the Contractor by
such time or times, the Contracting Officer shall, upon timely written request
made by the Contractor, make a determination of the delay occasioned the Contractor
and shall equitably adjust the estimated cost, fixed fee, or delivery or performance
dates, or all of them, and any other contractual provisions affected by such delay,
in accordance with the procedures provided for in the clause of this contract
entitled "Changes". In the event that Government-furnished Property is received
by the Contractor in a condition not suitable for the intended use, the Contractor
shall, upon receipt thereof notify the Contracting Officer of such fact and, as
lirected by the Contracting Officer, either (i) return such property at the
Jovernment's expense or otherwise dispose of the property or (ii) effect repairs
or modifications. Upon completion of (i) or (ii) above, the Contracting Officer
upon written request of the Contractor shall equitably adjust the estimated
cost, fixed fee, or delivery or performance dates, or all of them, and any other
contractual provision affected by the return or disposition, or the repair or
modification, in accordance with the procedures provided for in the clause of
this contract entitled "Changes." The foregoing provisions for adjustment are
exclusive and the Government shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract
by reason of any delay in delivery of Government-furnished Property or delivery
of such property in a condition not suitable for its intended use.
(b) Title to all property furnished by the Government shall remain in the
Government. Title to all property purchased by the Contractor, for the cost of
which the Contractor is entitled to be reimbursed as a direct item of cost under
a Task Order, shall pass to and vest in the Government upon delivery of such
property by the vendor. Title to other property, the cost of which is reimbursable
o the Contractor under a Task Order shall pass to and vest in the Government
upon (i) issuance for use of such property in the performance of a Task Order,
or (ii) commencement of processing or use of such property in the performance of a
Task Order, or (iii) reimbursement of the cost thereof by the Government, whichever
first occurs. All Government-furnished Property, together with all property
acquired by the Contractor, title to which vests in the Government under this para-
graph, are subject to the provisions of this clause and are hereinafter collective-
ly referred to as "Government Property."
(c) Title to the Government Property shall not be affected by the incorpora-
tion or attachment thereof to any property not owned by the Government, nor shall
such Government Property, or any part thereof, be or become a fixture or lose its

the Contractor is otherwise reimbursed, but only to the extent of such insurance or
reimbursement; provided that, if more than one of the above exceptions shall be
applicable in any case, the Contractor's liability under any one exception shall
not be limited by any other exception. This clause shall not be construed as re-
lieving a subcontractor from liability for loss or destruction of or damage to
Government Property in its possession or control, except to the extent that the
subcontract, with the prior approval of the Contracting Officer, may provide for
the relief of the subcontractor from such liability. In the absence of such

turn of all Government Property in as good condition as when received, except for
reasonable wear and tear or for the utilization of the property in accordance with
the provisions of the prime contract.

otherwise provided in paragraph (d) hereof, the cost of any such replacement or
correction shall be included in Allowable Cost determined as provided in the
clause of this contract entitled "Allowable Cost, Fixed Fee and Payment", but
no additional fee shall be payable with respect thereto. Such supplies or lots
of supplies shall not be tendered again for acceptance unless the former tender
and the requirement of correction is disclosed. If the Contractor fails to
proceed with reasonable promptness to replace or correct such supplies or lots
of supplies, the Government (i) may by contract or otherwise replace or correct
such supplies and cberge to the Contractor any increased cost occasioned the
Government thereby, or may reduce any fixed fee payable under a Task Order (or
require repayment of any fixed fee theretofore paid) or (ii) in the case of
supplies not delivered may require the delivery of such supplies, and shall
have the right to reduce any fixed fee payable (or to require repayment of any
fixed fee theretofore paid) in such amount as may be equitable under the cir-
cumstances, or (iii) may terminate the Task Order for default as provided in
the clause of this contract entitled "Termination". Failure to agree to the
amount of any such increased cost to be charged to the Contractor or to such
reduction in, or repayment of, the fixed fee shall be a dispute concerning a
question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled
"Disputes".
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c) hereof, the Govern-
ment may at any time require the correction or replacement by the Contractor,
without cost to the Government, of supplies or lots of supplies which are
defective in material or workmanship, or otherwise not in conformity with
the requirements of this contract or a Task Order hereunder, if such defects
or failures are due to fraud, lack of good faith or willful misconduct on
the part of any of the Contractor's directors or officers, or on the part
of any of its managers, superintendents, or other equivalent representatives,
who has supervision or direction of (i) all or substantially all of the
Contractor's business, or (ii) all or substantially all of the Contractor's
operations at any one plant or separate location in which the Task Order is
being performed, or (iii) a separate and complete major industrial operation
in connection with the performance of the Task Order. Fraud, lack of good
faith or willful misconduct on the part of any of such supervisory personnel
shall be deemed to include the selection of individual employees or the reten-
tion of employees after any of such supervisory personnel has reason to
believe that such employees are habitually careless or otherwise unqualified.
(e) Corrected supplies or replaced supplies shall be subject to the
provisions of this clause in the same manner and to the same extent as supplies
originally delivered under a Task Order of this contract.
(f) The contractor shall make its records of all inspection work avail-
able to the Government during the performance of Task Orders under this con-
tract and for such longer period as may be specified therein.

fically provides that it constitutes a determination of the allowability
of such cost.

the time above specified, subject to the reservation of a non-
exclusive and royalty-free license to the Contractor together with
the right of the Contractor to grant sublicenses, which license
and right shall be assignable to the successor of that part of the
Contractor's business to which the Subject Invention pertains.
(f) The Contractor shall exert all reasonable effort in negotiating for
the inclusion of this Patent Rights clause in any subcontract under a Task
Order of three thousand dollars ($3,000) or more having experimental, develop-
mental, or research work as one of its purposes. In the event of refusal by
a subcontractor to accept the Patent Rights clause, the Contractor shall not
proceed with the subcontract without written authorization of the Contracting
Officer, and upon obtaining such authorization, shall cooperate with the
Government in the negotiation with such subcontractor of an acceptable patent
rights clause; provided, however, that the Contractor shall in any event re-
quire the subcontractor to grant to the Government patent rights under
Subject Inventions of no less scope and on no less favorable terms than
those which the Contractor has under such subcontracts, except that in no
event shall the subcontractor be required to grant to the Government patent
rights in excess of those herein agreed to be granted to the Government by
the Contractor.
(g) The Contractor shall, at the earliest practicable date, notify the
Contracting Officer in writing of any subcontract containing a patent rights
clause, furnish the Contracting Officer a copy of such clause, and notify the
Contracting Officer when such subcontract is completed. It is understood that
with respect to such subcontract clause, the Government is a third party
beneficiary; and the Contractor hereby assigns to the Government all rights
that the Contractor would have to enforce the subcontractor's obligations for
the benefit of the Government with respect to Subject Inventions. The Con-
tractor shall not be obligated to enforce the agreements of any subcontractor
hereunder relating to Subject Inventions.
(h) When the Contractor shows that it has been delayed in the performance
of a Task Order by reason of its inability to obtain in accordance with (f)
above a suitable patent rights clause from a qualified subcontractor for any
item or service required under a Task Order for which the Contractor itself does
not have available facilities or qualified personnel, the Contractor's delivery
dates shall be extended for a period of time equal to the duration of such delay;

what extent, if any, an aflditional extension of the delivery dates and an increase
in contract prices based upon additional costs incurred by such delay are proper
under the circumstances; and the Task Order shall be modified accordingly. If
the Contractor, after exerting all reasonable effort, is unable to obtain a quali-
fied subcontractor as set forth above, the Contractor may submit to the Contract-
ing Officer a written request for waiver or modification of the requirement that
a suitable patent rights clause be included in the subcontract. Such request
shall specifically state that the Contractor has used all reasonable effort to
obtain such qualified subcontractor, and shall cite the waiver or termination
provision hereinafter set forth. If, within thirty-five (35) days after the date
of receipt of such request for a waiver or modification of said requirement, the
Contracting Officer shall fail to deny in writing such request, the requirement
shall be deemed to have been waived by the Government. If within such period
the Contractor shall receive a written denial of such request by the Contracting
Officer, the Task Order shall thereupon automatically terminate and the rights
and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the provisions of the
clause of this contract providing for termination for the convenience of the
Government.

ment Regulation, Section XV, Part 2, as in effect on the date of this
