DEFINITIONS As used throughout this contract, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: (a) The term ahead of the agency" or 'Secretary" means the Secre- tary, the Under Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, or any other head or assistant head of the executive or military department or other Federal agency; and the term his duly authorized representative" means any person or persons or board (other than the Contracting Officer) author- ized to act for the head of the agency or the Secretary. (b) The term "Contracting Officer" means the person executingthis contract on behalf of the Government, and any other officer or civilian employee who is a properly designated Contracting Officer; and the term includes, except as otherwise provided in this contract, the authorized representative of a Contracting Officer acting within the limits of his authority. (c) Except as otherwise provided inthis contract, the term "subcon- tracts" includes purchase orders under this contract. 2. CHANGES The Contracting Officer may at any time, by a written order, and without notice to the sureties, make changes,within the general scope of this contract, in any one or more of the following: (I) Drawings, designs, or specifications, where the supplies to be furnished are to be specially manufactured for the Government in accordance therewith; (ii) method of shipment or packing; and (iii) place of delivery. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether changed or not changed by any such order, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract price or delivery schedule, or both, and the con- tract shall be modified in writing accordingly. Any claim by the Con- tractor for adjustment under this clause must be asserted within 30 days from the date of receipt by the Contractor of the notification of change: Provided, however, That the Contracting Officer, if he decides that the facts justify such action, may receive and act upon any such claim as- serted at any time prior to final payment under this contract. Where the cost of property made obsolete or excess as a result of a change is in- cluded in the Contractor's claim for adjustment, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of such prop- erty. 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 contract as changed. 3. EXTRAS Except as otherwise provided in this contract, no payment for extras shall be made unless such extras and the price therefor have been au- thorized in writing by the Contracting Officer. 4. VARIATION IN QUANTITY No variation in the quantity of any item called for by this contract will be accepted unless such variation has been caused by conditions of loading, shipping, or packing, or allowances in manufacturing processes, and then only to the extent, if any, specified elsewhere in this contract. 5. INSPECTION (a) All supplies (which term throughout this clause includes without limitation raw materials, components, intermediate assemblies, and end products) shall be subject to inspection and test by the Government, to the extent practicable at all times and places including the period of manufacture, and in any event prior to acceptance. (b) In case any supplies or lots of supplies are defective in material or workmanship or otherwise not inconformity with the requirements of this contract, the Government shall have the right either to reject them (with or without instructions as to their disposition) or to require their correction. Supplies or lots of supplies which have been rejected or 1 required to be corrected shall be removed or, if permitted or required by the Contracting Officer, corrected in place by and at the expense of the Contractor promptly after notice, and shall not thereafter be tendered for acceptance unless the former rejection or requirement of correction IS disclosed. If the Contractor fails promptly to remove such supplies or lots of supplies which are required to be removed, or promptly to re- place or correct such supplies or lots of supplies, the Government either (1) may by contract or otherwise replace or correct such supplies and charge to the Contractor the cost occasioned the Government thereby; or (ii) may terminate this contract for default as provided in the clause of this contract entitled 'Default." Unless the Contractor corrects or replaces such supplies within the delivery schedule,the Contracting Of- ficer may require the delivery of such supplies at a reduction in price which is equitable under the circumstances. Failure to agree to such re - duction of price shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled "Disputes." (c) If any inspection or testis made by the Government on the prem- ises of the Contractor or a subcontractor, the Contractor without addi- tional charge shall provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the Government inspectors in the performance of their duties. If Government inspection or testis made at a point other than the premises of the Contractor or a subcontractor, it shall be at the expense of the Government except as otherwiseprovided_in this contract: Provided, That in case of rejection the Government shall not be liable for any reduction in value of samples used in connection with such in- spection or test. AU inspections and tests by the Government shall be performed in such a manner as not to unduly delay the work. The Gov- ernment reserves the right to charge to the Contractor any additional cost of Government inspection and test when supplies are not ready at the time such inspection and testis requestedby the Contractor or when reinspection or retest is necessitated by prior rejection. Acceptance or rejection of the supplies shall be made as promptly as practicable after delivery, except as otherwise provided in this contract; but failure to inspect and accept or reject supplies shall neither relieve the Con- tractor from responsibility for such supplies as are not in accordance with the contract requirements nor impose liability on the Government therefor. (d) The inspection and test by the Government of any supplies or lots thereof does not relieve the Contractor from any responsibility regarding defects or other failures to meet the contract requirements which may be discovered prior to acceptance. Except as otherwise provided in this contract, acceptance shall be conclusive except as regards latent defects, fraud, or such gross mistakes as amount to fraud. (e) The Contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government covering the supplies hereunder. Records of all inspection work by the Contractor shall be kept complete and available to the Government during the performance of this contract and for such longer period as may be specified elsewhere in this contract. 6.

(c) (1) If the Contractor is required to pay or bear the burden (i) of any tax or duty, which either was not to be included in the contract price pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (b), or was specifically excluded from the contract price by a provision of this contract; or (ii) of an increase in rate of any tax or duty, whether or not such tax or duty was excluded from the contract price; or of any interest or penalty thereon, the contract price shall be cor- respondingly increased; provided that the Contractor warrants in writing that no amount for such tax, duty, or rate increase was in- cluded in the contract price as a contingency reserve or otherwise; and provided further that liability for such tax, duty, rate increase, in- terest, or penalty was not incurred through the fault or negligence of the Contractor or his failure to follow instructions of the Contracting Of - ficer. (2) If the Contractor is not required to pay or bear the burden, or obtains ?a refund or drawback, in whole or in part, of any tax, duty, in or penalty which (I) was to be included in the contract price pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (b), (ii) was included in the contract price, or (iii) was the basis of an increase in the contract price, the contract price shall be correspondingly decreased or the amount of such relief, refund, or drawback shall be paid to the Gov- ernment, as directed by the Contracting Officer. The contract price also shall be correspondingly decreased if the Contractor, through its fault or negligence or its failure to follow instructions of the Con- tracting Officer, is required to pay or bear the burden, or does not obtain a refund or drawback of any such tax, duty, interest, or penalty.

(e) (1) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer of all matters pertaining to Federal, State, and local taxes and duties that reasonably may result in either an increase or decrease in the con- tract price. (2) Whenever an increase or decrease in the contractprice may be required under this clause, the Contractor shall take action as di- rected by the Contracting Officer, and the contract price shall be equitably adjusted to cover the costs of such action, including any in- terest, penalty, and reasonable attorney's fees. 11. DEFAULT (a) The Government may, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, by written notice of default to the Contractor, terminate the whole or any part of this contract in any one of the following circumstances: (1) if the Contractor fails to make delivery of the supplies or to perform the services within the time specified herein or any exten- sion thereof; or (ii) if the Contractor fails to perform any of the other provisions of this contract, or so fails to make progress as to endanger per- formance of this contract inaccordance with its terms, and in either of these two circumstances does not cure suchfailure within a peri- od of 10 days (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer may authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Of- ficer specifying such failure. (b) In the event the Government terminates this contract in whole or in part as provided in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Government may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as the Contracting Officer may deem appropriate, supplies or services similar to those so ter- minated, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any ex- cess costs for such similar supplies or services: Provided, That the Contractor shall continue the performance of this contract to the extent not terminated under the provisions of this clause. (c) Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors , the Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the con- tract arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Such causes may include, but are not re- stricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes ,freight embargoes , and unusually severe weather; but in every case the failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. If the failure to perform is caused by the default of a subcontractor, and if such default arises out of causes beyond the control of both the Con- tractor and subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either of them, the Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs for fail- ure to perform, unless the supplies or services to be furnished by the subcontractor were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit the Contractor to meet the required delivery schedule. (d) If this contract is terminated as provided in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Government, in addition to any other rights provided in this clause, may require the Contractor to transfer itle and deliver to the Government, in the manner and to the extent dii.ected by the Con- tracting Officer, (1) any completed supplies, and (ii) such partially com- pleted supplies and materials, parts, tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, plans, 2 Approved For Release 2001/03/02-: CIA-RDP78-04782A000100090012-9 Approved For Release 2001/03/02 : CIA-RDP78-04782A000100090012-9 drawings, infOrmation, and contract rights (hereinafter called "manu- facturing materials") as the Contractor has specifically produced or specifically acquired for the performance of such part of this contract as has been terminated; and the Contractor shall, upon direction of the Contracting Officer, protect and preserve property in possession of the Contractor in which the Government has an interest. Payment for completed supplies delivered to and accepted by the Government shall be at the contract price. Payment for manufacturing materials de- livered to and accepted by the Government and for the protection and preservation of property shall be in an amount agreed upon by the Con- tractor and the Contracting Officer; failure to agree to such amount shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled "Disputes." The Government may withhold from amounts otherwise due the Contractor for such com- pleted supplies or manufacturing materials such sum as the Contract- ing Officer determines to be necessary to protect the Government against loss because of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders. (e) If, after notice of termination of this contract under the pro- visions of this clause, it is determined for any reason that the Contractor was not in default under the provisions of this clause, or that the default was excusable under the provisions of this clause, the rights and ob- ligations of the parties shall, if the contract contains a clause providing for termination for convenience of the Government, be the same as if the notice of termination had been issued pursuant to such clause. If, after notice of termination of this contract under the provisions of this clause, it is determined for any reason that the Contractor was not in default under the provisions of this clause, and if this contract does not contain a clause providing for termination for convenience of the Government, the contract shall be equitably adjusted to compensate for such termination and the contract modified accordingly; failure to agree to any such adjustment shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled "Disputes." (f) The rights and remedies of the Government provided in this clause shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract. 12.

The decision of the Secretary or his duly authorized representa- tive for the determination of such appeals shall be final and conclu- sive unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been fraudulent, or capricious, or arbitrary, or so grossly erroneous as necessarily to imply bad faith, or not supported by substantial evi- dence. In connection with any appeal proceeding under this clause, the Contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of its appeal. Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, the Contractor shall proceed diligently with the perform- ance of the contract and in accordance with the Contracting Officer's decision. (b) This 'Disputes" clause does not preclude consideration of law questions in connection with decisions provided for in paragraph (a) above: Provided, That nothing in this contract shall be construed as making final the decision of any administrative official, representative, or board on a question of law. 13.
