representative" means any person or. persons or board (other than the

(b) The term "Contracting Officer" means the person executing this
contract on behalf of the Government, and any other officer or civilian

includes, except as otherwise provided in this contract, the authorized
representative of a Contracting Officer acting within the limits of his

tract, or otherwise affects any other provision of this contract, 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 as may be
so affected, and the contract shall be modified in writing accordingly.
Any claim by the Contractor for adjustment under this clause must be as-
serted within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by the Contractor

3. LIMITATION OF COST
(a) It is estimated that the total cost to the Government, exclusive
of any fixed fee, for the performance of this contract will not exceed
the estimated cost set forth in the Schedule, and the Contractor agrees
to use its best efforts to perform the work specified in the Schedule
and all obligations under this contract within such estimated cost. If

expects to incur in the performance of this contract in the next succeed-
ing 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 Schedule, 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 per-
formance of this contract 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 this contract.
(b) The Government shall not be obligated to reimburse the Contractor
for costs incurred in excess of the estimated cost set forth in the
Schedule and the Contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance
under the contract or to incur costs in excess of the estimated cost set
forth in the Schedule, unless and until the Contracting Officer shall have
notified the Contractor in writing that such estimated cost has been in-
creased and shall have specified in such notice a revised estimated cost
which shall thereupon constitute the estimated cost of performance of this
contract. When and to the extent that the estimated cost set forth in the
Schedule has been increased, any costs incurred by the Contractor in ex-
cess 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.

Services Procurement Regulation as in effect on the date of this contract
and the Schedule (hereinafter referred to as "Allowable Cost"), plus such
fixed fee, if any, as may be provided for in the Schedule.
(b) Once each month (or at more frequent intervals, if approved by
the Contracting Officer) the Contractor may submit to an authorized rep-
resentative 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
this contract and claimed to constitute Allowable Cost. Each statement of
cost shall be certified by an officer or other responsible official of the
Contractor authorized by it to certify such statement.
(c) As promptly as may be practicable after receipt of each invoice
or voucher and statement of cost, the Government shall, except as herein-
after provided and subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below, make
payment thereon as approved by the Contracting Officer. After payment of
eighty-five percent (85%) of the fixed fee set forth in the Schedule, as
from time to time amended, further payment on account of the fixed fee shall
be withheld until a reserve of either (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the total
fixed fee or (ii) $100,000, whichever amount is less, shall have been set
aside, such reserve or the balance thereof to be retained until the execu-
tion and delivery of a release by the Contractor as provided in paragraph
(e) hereof.
(d) At any time or times prior to final payment under this contract
the Contracting Officer may cause to be made such audit of the invoices or
vouchers and statements of cost as shall be deemed necessary. Each.-pay-
ment 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 consti-
tute Allowable Cost, and shall also be subject to reduction and overpay-
ments or to increase for under payments on preceding invoices or vouchers.

in the Schedule or specifications, together with such related data and
information as the Contractor may request and as may reasonably be re-
quired 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 this
contract are based upon the expectation that Government-furnished Prop-
erty suitable for use will be delivered to the Contractor at the times
stated in the Schedule or, if not so stated, in sufficient time to enable
the Contractor to meet such 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 contract-
ual 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
directed by the Contracting Officer, either (i) return such property at
the Governmentts expense or otherwise dispose of the property or (ii) ef-
fect 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 proce-
dures 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 de-
Livery of Government-furnished Property or delivery of such property in a
condition not suitable for its intended use.

part of any of the Contractorts directors or officers, or on the part
of any of its managers, superintendents, or other equivalent representa-
tives, who has supervision or direction of (I) all or substantially all
of the Contractorts business, or (II) all or substantially all of the
Contractor's operations at any one plant or separate location in which
this contract is being performed, or (III) a separate and complete major
industrial operation in connection with the performance of this con-
tract; or (B) which results from a failure on the part of the Contractor,
due to the willful misconduct or lack of good faith on the part of any
of its directors, officers, or other representatives mentioned in sub-
paragraph (A) above, (I) to maintain and administer, in accordance with
sound industrial practice, the program for maintenance, repair, protec-

sured under this contract, but only to the extent of the insurance so
required to be procured and maintained, or to the extent of insurance
actually procured and maintained, whichever is greater; or (E) which re-
sults from a risk which is in fact covered by insurance or for which the
Contractor is otherwise reimbursed, but only to the extent of such in-
surance or reimbursement; provided that, if more than one of the above
exceptions shall be applicable in any case, the Contractorts liability
under any one exception shall not be limited by any other exception.
This clause shall not be construed as relieving 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 approval, the subcontract shall contain appropriate provisions re-
quiring the return of all Government Property in as good condition as
when received, except for reasonable wear and tear or for the utiliza-
tion of the property in accordance with the provisions of the prime con-
tract.
(ii) The Contractor shall not be reimbursed for, and shall not in-
clude as an item of overhead, the cost of insurance, or any provision
for a reserve, covering the risk of loss of or damage to the Government
Property, except to the extent that the Government may have required the
Contractor to carry such insurance under any other provision of this
contract.

cooperation (including the prosecution of suit and the execution of in-
struments of assignment in favor of the Government) in obtaining recovery.

tractorts business, or (2) all or substantially all of the Contractorts
operations at any one plant ox- separate location in wtich this contract

operation in connection with the performance of this contract. The fore-
going shall not restrict the right of the Contractor to be reimbursed
for the cost of insurance maintained by the Contractor in connection
pith the performance of this contract, other than insurance required to

copies of all pertinent papers received by the Contractor. If the
amount of the liability claimed exceeds the amount of coverage, the
Contractor shall authorize representatives of the Government to colla-
borate with counsel for the insurance carrier, if any, in settling or
defending such claim. If the liability is not insured or covered by
bond, the Contractor shall, if required by the Government, authorize
representatives of the Government to settle or defend any such claim

out 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 final acceptance. The Con-
tractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to
the Government covering the supplies, fabricating methods, and special
tooling hereunder. The Government, through any authorized representa-
tive, may inspect the plant or plants of the Contractor or of any of its
subcontractors engaged in the performance of this contract. If any in-
spection or test is made by the Government on the premises of the Con-
tractor or a subcontractor, the Contractor shall provide and shall re-
quire subcontractors to provide all reasonable facilities and assistance
for the safety and convenience of the Government inspectors in the per-
formance of their duties. All inspections and tests by the Government
shall be performed in such a manner as will not unduly delay the work.
Except as otherwise provided in this contract, final acceptance of any
supplies or lots of supplies shall be made as promptly as practicable
after delivery thereof and shall be deemed to have been made no later
than sixty (60) days after the date of such delivery, if final accept-
ance has not been made earlier within such period.

than six (6) months (or such other period as may be provided in the

last delivered in accordance with the requirements of this contract, the
Government may require the Contractor to remedy by correction or re-
placement, as directed by the Contracting Officer, any supplies or lots

of supplies which at the time of delivery thereof are defective in
material or workmanship or otherwise not in conformity with the re-
quirements of this contract. Except as otherwise provided in para-
graph (c) 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 be 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 charge to
the Contractor any increased cost occasioned the Government thereby, or
may reduce any fixed fee payable under this contract (or require repay-
ment of any fixed.fee theretofore paid) in such amount as may be equit-
able under the circumstances, or (ii) in the case of supplies not de-
livered, may require the delivery of such supplies, and shall have the
right to reduce any fixed fee payable under this contract (or to require
payment of any fixed fee theretofore paid) in such amount as may be
equitable under the circumstances, or (iii) may terminate this contract
for default as provided in the clause of this contract entitled "Termin-
ation." 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."
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b) hereof, the
Government may at any time require the correction or replacement by the
Contractor, without cost to the Government, of supplies or lots of sup-
plies which are defective in material or workmanship, or otherwise not
in conformity with the requirements of this contract, if such defects or
failures are due to fraud, lack of good faith or willful misconduct on
the part of any of the Contractorts directors or officers, or on the
part of any of its managers, superintendents, or other equivalent repre-
sentatives, who has supervision or direction of (i) all or substantially
all of the Contractorts business, or (ii) all or substantially all of the
Contractorts operations at any one plant or separate location in which
this contract is being performed, or (iii) a separate and complete major
industrial operation in connection with the performance of this contract.
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
iAdividual employees or the retention of employees after any of such
supervisory personnel has reason to believe that such employees are
habitually careless or otherwise unqualified.

"Government Property."
9. EXCUSABLE DELAYS
The Contractor shall not be in default by reason of any failure in
performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including
any failure by the Contractor to make progress in the prosecutiru of
the work hereunder which endangers such performance) if such failure

gence of the Contractor. Such causes include, but are not restricted
to: acts of God or of the public enemy; acts of the Government; fires;
floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes; freight embargoes;
unusually severe weather; and failure of subcontractors to perform or
make progress due to such causes, unless the Contracting Officer shall
have determined that the supplies or services to be furnished under the
subcontract. were obtainable from other sources and shall have ordered
the Contractor in writing to procure such services or supplies from
such other sources, and the Contractor shall have failed reasonably to
comply with such order. Upon request of the Contractor, the Contract-
ing Officer shall ascertain the facts and extent of such failure and, if
he shall determine that such failure was occasioned by any one or more of
the said causes, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, sub-
ject to the rights of the Government under the clause hereof entitled
"Termination."

tion of the allowability of such cost,

experimental, developmental, or research work specified in paragraph
(a) (i) above, and (iii) the practice of any Subject Invention in
foreign countries, the obligation of the Contractor to grant the
aforesaid license and the other rights hereinafter provided in this
clause shall be limited to the extent of the Contractor's right to
grant the same without incurring any obligation to pay royalties or
other compensation to others solely on account of said grant. No
license granted herein shall convey any right to the Government to
manufacture, have manufactured, or use any Subject Invention for the
p pose of providing services or supplies to the general public in
competition with the Contractor or the Contractorls commercial
licensees in the licensed fields. Nothing contained in this para-
graph shall be deemed to grant any license under any invention other
than a Subject Invention.
(c) The Contractor shall:
(i) Make a written disclosure to the Contracting Officer
promptly after conception or first arty al reduction to practice of
each Subject Invention which reasonably appears to be patentable;
(ii) Certify to the Contracting Officer not less often
than every twelve months, commencing with the date of this contract,
whether or not any Subject Inventions were conceived or first actually
reduced to practice during the preceding twelve months; and
(iii) Prior to final settlement of this contract, make a
summary report of all those Subject Inventions previously disclosed
and of those Subject Inventions conceived or first actually reduced
to practice after the last certification but prior to the summary
report.
(d) The Contractor shall also, in connection with each Subject
Invention referred to in paragraph (c)(i) above:
(i) Specify, at the time of making written disclosure, whe-
ther or not a United States Patent application claiming such Invention
has been or will be filed by or on behalf of the Contractor. If the
Contractor specifies that a United States Patent application will be
filed claiming such Invention, the Contractor shall file or cause to
be filed such application in due form and time. If the Contractor

specified that it would file, the Contractor shall so notify the Con-
tracting Officer at the earliest practicable date and in any event
not later than eight months after first publication, public use or

(ii) In the event the Contractor specifies that it has not
filed and will not file (or having specified that it will file,
thereafter notified the Contracting Officer to the contrary), (A) in-
form the Contracting Officer in writing at the earliest practicable
date of any publication of such Invention made by or known to the
Contractor or, where applicable, of any contemplated publication by
the Contractor, stating the date and identity of such publication or
contemplated publication, and (B) convey to the Government the Con-
tractor's entire right, title and interest in such Invention by de-
livering to the Contracting Officer upon written request such duly
executed instruments (prepared by the Government) of assignment, ap-
plication and other papers as are deemed necessary to vest in the
Government the Contractor's right, title and interest aforesaid,
and the right to apply for and prosecute patent applications cover-
ing such Invention throughout the world, subject, however, to the right
reserved to the Contractor in paragraph (e) to file foreign applica-
tions, and subject further to the reservation of a nonexclusive and
royalty-free license to the Contractor (and to its existing and future
associated and affiliated companies, if any, within the corporate
structure of which the Contractor is a part) which license shall be
assignable to the successor of that part of the Contractor's business
to which the Subject Invention pertains;
(iii) Furnish promptly to the Contracting Officer on re-
quest an irrevocable power of attorney to inspect and make copies of
each United States patent application filed by or on behalf of the
Contractor covering any Subject Invention;

from the Contractor, elects not to continue prosecution of any such
United States patent application filed by or on behalf of the Con-
tractor, so notify the Contracting Officer not less than sixty (60)
days before the expiration of the response period and, upon written
request, deliver to the Contracting Officer such duly executed instru-
ments (prepared by the Government) as are deemed necessary to vest in
the Government the Contractor's entire right, title and interest in
the Subject Invention and the application, subject to the reservations
as specified in (ii) above; and

(v)' Deliver to the Contracting Officer duly executed in-
struments fully confirmatory of any license rights herein agreed to
be granted to the Government.
(e) The Contractor, or those deriving rights from the Contractor,
has the option of filing patent applications in foreign countries on
Subject Inventions. If this option is not exercised in the time and
manner set forth below, the Government shall have the right to file
applications in each foreign country in which the Contractor has not
exercised its option.
(i) In the event that the Contractor specifies under the
provisions of paragraph (d) that it has not filed and will not file a
United States patent application (or having specified that it will
file, thereafter notifies the Contracting Officer to the contrary) the
Contractor shall have six months from the date of making the written
disclosure required by paragraph (c)(i) to file foreign patent applica-
tions.
(ii) In the event that a United States patent application
is filed by or on behalf of the Contractor under the provisions of
paragraph (d), the Contractor shall have six months from the date of
the United States application, or six months from the date permission
is granted to file foreign applications where such filing had been
prohibited for security reasons, within which to file foreign patent
applications. With respect to each Subject Invention on which it
has specified that a United States patent application has been or will
be filed by or on behalf of the Contractor, the Contractor shall (A)
inform the Contracting Officer in writing of each foreign patent ap-
plication for such Invention filed by or on behalf of the Contractor
within six months after the filing by the Contractor of the corres-
ponding United States application, and, if practicable, prior to the
publication of the Subject Invention in any country, (B) inform the
Contracting Officer in writing at the earliest practicable date of
any publication of the Subject Invention made by or known to the Con-
tractor or, where applicable, of any contemplated publication by the
Contractor, stating the date and identity of such publication or con-
templated publication, (C) upon written request of the Contracting
Officer, convey to the Government the Contractorts entire right, title,
and interest in such Invention in those countries in which the Con-
tractor has not, within six months after the filing of the correspond-
ing United States application, filed foreign patent applications, and
deliver to the Contracting Officer, upon written request, such duly
executed instruments (prepared by the Government) of assignment,

application, and other papers as are deemed necessary to vest in
the Government the Contractor's right, title, and interest as afore-
said and the right to apply for and maintain patents covering such
invention, subject, however, to the reservation of a nonexclusive
and roylaty-free license to the Contractor (and to its existing and
future associated and affiliated companies, if any, within the
corporate structure of which the Contractor is a part) which license
shall be assignable to the successor of that part of the Contractorts
business to which the.Subject Invention pertains, and (D) in the
event that the Contractor, or those deriving rights from the Con-
tractor, elects not to continue the prosecution of any foreign ap-
plication which has been filed by or on behalf of the Contractor, or
elects not to maintain any patent granted on such application, so
notify the Contracting Officer not less than ninety days before the
expiration of the response period or patent lapse date and, upon
written request, deliver to the Contracting Officer such duly executed
instruments (prepared by the Government) as will convey to the Gov-
ernment the Contractor's entire right, title, and interest in the ap-
plication or patent, subject to a reservation as specified in (C)
above.
(f) If the Contractor fails to deliver to the Contracting Officer
the certificates required by paragraph (c)(ii) of this clause or fails
to furnish the written disclosures for all Subject Inventions required
by paragraph (c)(i) of this clause shown to be due in accordance with
any certificate delivered under paragraph (c)(ii), there shall be
withheld from payment until the Contractor shall have corrected such
failures either (i) ten percent (10%) of the amount of this contract,
as from time to time amended, or (ii) X5,000, whichever is less.
After payment of eighty percent (80%) of the amount of this contract,
as from time to time amended, payment shall be withheld until a re-
serve of either (i) ten percent (10%) of such amount, or (ii) $5,000,
whichever amount is less, shall have been set aside, such reserve or
balance thereof to be retained until the Contractor shall have fur-
nished to the Contracting Officer (A) the summary report required by
paragraph (c)(iii) of this clause, (B) written disclosures for all
Subject Inventions required by paragraph (c)(i) of this clause which
are shown to be.due in accordance with certificates delivered under
paragraph (c)(ii) or in accordance with such summary report, and (C)
the information as to any subcontractor required by paragraph (h) of
this clause. The maximum amount which may be withheld under this
paragraph shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount of this
contract or Q'6,000, whichever is less, and no amount shall be withheld

under this paragraph when the minimum amount specified by this para-
graph is being withheld under other provisions of this contract.
The withholding of any amount or subsequent payment thereof to the
Contractor shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights accruing
to the Government under this contract. This paragraph shall not be
construed as requiring the Contractor to withhold any amounts from
a subcontractor to enforce compliance with the patent provisions of
a subcontract.
(g) The Contractor shall exert all reasonable effort to nego-
tiate for the inclusion of this Patent Rights clause in any subcon-
tract hereunder of $3,000 or more having experimental, developmental,
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 sub-
contractor of an acceptable patent rights clause; provided, however,
that the Contractor shall in any event require 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 Con-
tractor has under such subcontract, 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.
(h) The Contractor shall, at the earliest practicable date,
notify the Contracting Officer in writing of any subcontract contain-
ing 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 Con-
tractor hereby assigns to the Government all the rights that the Con-
tractor would have to enforce the subcontractor's obligations for the
benefit of the Government with respect to Subject Inventions. The
Contractor shall not be obligated to enforce the agreements of any
subcontractor hereunder relating to Subject Inventions.
(i) When the Contractor shows that it has been delayed in
the performance of this contract by reason of its inability to obtain
in accordance with paragraph (g) a suitable patent rights clause from
a qualified subcontractor for any item or service required under this
contract for which the Contractor itself does not have available facili-
ties or qualified personnel, the Contractor's delivery dates shall be

extended for a period of time equal to the duration of such delay; and,
upon request of the Contractor, the Contracting Officer shall deter-
mine to what extent, if any, an additional 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 con-
tract shall be modified accordingly. If the Contractor, after exerting
all reasonable effort, is unable to obtain a qualified subcontractor as
set forth above, the Contractor may submit to the Contracting Officer a
written request for waiver or modification of the requirement that a
suitable patent rights clause be included in the subcontract. Such re-
quest shall specifically state that the Contractor has used all reason-
able 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, this contract shall thereupon automatically ter-
minate and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed
by the provisions of the clause of this contract entitled "Termination
for the Convenience of the Government."

the contract, provided that such license shall be only to the extent
the Contractor now has, or prior to completion or final settlement
of the contract may acquire, the right to grant such license without
becoming liable to pay compensation to others solely because of such
grant.
(b) The Contractor agrees that it will exert all reasonable ef-
fort to advise the Contracting Officer, at the time of delivering any
copyrightable or copyrighted work furnished under this contract, of
any adversely held copyrighted or copyrightable material incorporated
in any such work and of any invasion of the right of privacy therein
contained.
(c) The Contractor agrees to report to the Contracting Officer,
promptly and in reasonable written detail, any notice or claim of

to the full extent of the Contractorts right to do so without payment
of compensation to others, the right to reproduce, use, and disclose
for governmental purposes (including the right to give to foreign
governments for their use as the national interest of the United States
may demand) all or any part of the reports, drawings, blueprints, data,
and technical information specified to be delivered by the Contractor
to the Government under this contract; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this paragraph shall be deemed, directly or by implica-
tion, to grant any license under any patent now or hereafter issued
or to grant any right to reproduce anything else called for by this
contract.
17. REPORTING OF ROYALTIES
The provisions of this clause shall be applicable only if the
amount of the contract is in excess of $10,000.

of units or dollars and cents value, then other data showing the
manner in which the Contractor computes the royalties.
(b) In lieu of furnishing a report under paragraph (a),
the Contractor may furnish a single, consolidated report for each
accounting period of the Contractor during which the Contractor has
contracts with the Government, provided the Contractor has requested
and obtained the prior written approval of the Contracting Officer.
Such consolidated report shall be furnished, when the furnishing
thereof has been approved, in the number of copies as approved, as
soon as practicable after the close of the accounting period covered
by the report. Such consolidated report shall be made in accordance

(c) In the event that the Contractor requests written ap-
proval to furnish consolidated reports under paragraph (b) above,
the Contracting Officer shall promptly consider the request and fur-
nish to the Contractor a letter stating whether or not the request
is approved and, notwithstanding any such approval, the Contracting
Officer shall have the right to question any such subsequently fur-
nished report as to accuracy or completeness of data and to ask for
additional information. The Contractor shall furnish a copy of such
letter of approval to the Contracting Officer administering this
contract.
(d) After payment of eighty percent (80%) of the amount
of this contract, as from time to time amended, further payment
shall be withheld until a reserve of either (i) ten percent (10%)
of such amount or (ii) ;,5,000, whichever is less, shall have been
set aside, such reserve or the balance thereof to be retained until
the Contractor shall have furnished to the Contracting Officer the

approving the Contractorts request to furnish the report under para-
graph (b); provided that no amount shall continue to be withheld
from payment for the causes specified in this paragraph (d) if the

shall be withheld under this paragraph when the minimum amount spe-
cified by this paragraph is being withheld under other provisions
of this contract. The withholding of any amount or subsequent pay-
ment thereof to the Contractor shall not be construed as a waiver

otherwise furnishing to the Contracting Officer a written appeal
addressed to the Secretary, and the decision of the Secretary or
his duly authorized representative for the hearing of such appeals
shall, 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 evidence, be final and conclusive; provided that, if
no such appeal is taken, the decision of the Contracting Officer
shall be final and conclusive. In connection with any appeal pro-
ceeding under this clause, the Contractor shall be afforded an op-
portunity 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 performance of the contract and in ac-

referred to in this clause as "supplies") as have been mined or
produced in the United States, and only such manufactured supplies
as have been manufactured in the United States substantially all
from supplies mined, produced, or manufactured, as the case may be,

Code lOa-d), the foregoing provision shall not apply (i) with re-
spect to supplies excepted by the Secretary from the application of
that Act, (ii) with respect to supplies for use outside the United
States, or (iii) with respect to the supplies to be delivered under
this contract which are of a class or kind determined by the Secre-
tary or his duly authorized representative not to be mined, pro-
duced, or manufactured, as the case may be, in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities and of a
satisfactory quality, or (ir) with respect to such supplies, from
which the supplies to be delivered under this Contract are manu-
factures, as are of a class or kind determined by the Secretary or
his duly authorized representative not to be mined, produced, or
manufactured, as the case may be, in the United States in sufficient
and reasonably available commercial quantities and of a satisfactory
quality: Provided, That this exception (iv) shall not permit delivery
of supplies manufactured outside the United States if such supplies
are manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably
available commercial quantities and of a satisfactory quality.

20. OFFICIALS NOT TO BENEFIT
No member of or delegate to Congress, or resident commissioner,
shall be admitted to any share or part of this contract, or to any
benefit that may arise therefrom; but this provision shall not be
construed to extend to this contract if made with a corporation for
its general benefit.

been employed or retained to solicit or secure this contract upon
an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, broker-

quired or permitted to work more than eight hours in any one calen-
dar day upon such work, except upon the condition that compensation
is paid to such laborer or mechanic in accordance with the provi-
sions of this clause. The wages of every such laborer and mechanic

be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or
transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termina-
tion; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for

hereafter in conspicuous places, available for employees and appli-
cants for employment,notices to be provided by the Contracting Of-
ficer setting forth the provisions of the nondiscrimination clause.
(b) The Contractor further agrees to insert the foregoing pro-
vision in all subcontracts hereunder, except subcontracts for
standard commercial supplies or raw materials.

26. GRATUITIES
(a) The Government may, by written notice to the Contractor,
terminate the right of the Contractor to proceed under this contract
if it is found, after notice and hearing, by the Secretary or his
duly authorized representative, that gratuities (in the form of en-
tertainment, gifts, or otherwise) were offered or given by the Con-
tractor, or any agent or representative of the Contractor, to any
officer or employee of the Government with a view toward securing
a contract or securing favorable treatment with respect to the award-
ing or amending, or the making of any determinations with respect to
the performing of such contract; provided, that the existence of the
facts upon which the Secretary or his duly authorized representative
makes such findings shall be in issue and may be reviewed in any
competent court.
(b) In the event this contract is terminated as provided in

sponsible for inspection pertaining to industrial security shall have
the right to inspect at reasonable intervals the procedures, methods,

Contracting Officer, through its authorized representative, deter-
mine that the Contractor has not complied with such requirements,
the Contracting Officer shall inform the Contractor in writing of the
proper actions to be taken in order to effect compliance with such
requirements.

Any such equitable adjustment shall be accomplished in the manner
set forth in the clause of this contract entitled "Changes."

under which involve access to classified security information, pro-
visions which shall conform substantially to the language of this
clause, including this paragraph (f) but excluding paragraph (e) of
this clause. The Contractor may insert in any such subcontract, and
any such subcontract entered into thereunder may contain, in lieu of
paragraph (e) of this clause, provisions which permit equitable ad-
justments to be made in the subcontract price or in the estimated
cost and fixed fee of the subcontract (as appropriate to the type of
subcontract involved) on account of changes in security classifica-
tions or requirements made under the provisions of this clause sub-
sequent to the date of the subcontract involved.
(g) The Contractor also agrees that it shall determine that any
subcontractor proposed by it for the furnishing of supplies and
services which will involve access to classified security informa-

32. TERMINATION
(a) The performance of work under the contract may be termin-
ated by the Government in accordance with this clause in whole, or
from time to time in part, (1) whenever the Contractor shall default
in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (in-
cluding in the term "default" any such failure by the Contractor to
make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder as endangers
such performance), and shall fail to cure such default within a
period of ten days (or such longer periods as the Contracting Offi-
cer may allow) after receipt from the Contracting Officer of a notice
specifying the default, or (2) whenever for any reason the Contract-
ing Officer shall determine that such termination is in the best in-
terests of the Government. Any such termination shall be effected by
delivery to the Contractor of a Notice of Termination specifying
whether termination is for the default of the Contractor or for the
convenience of the Government, the extent to which performance of
work under the contract is terminated, and the date upon which such
termination becomes effective. If, after notice of termination of
this contract for default under (1) above, it is determined that the
Contractorts failure to perform or to make progress in performance is
due to causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence
of the Contractor pursuant to the provisions of the clause of this

be necessary for completion of such portion of the work under the
contract as is not terminated; (3) terminate all orders and subcon-
tracts to the extent that they relate to the performance of work
terminated by the Notice of Termination; (4) assign to the Govern-
*nent, in the manner and to the extent directed by the Contracting
Officer, all of the right, title, and interest of the Contractor
under the orders or subcontracts so terminated, in which case the
Government shall have the right, in its discretion, to settle or
pay any or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders
and subcontracts; (5) with the approval or ratification of the Con-
tracting Officer, to the extent he may require, which approval or
ratification shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this
clause, settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising
out of such termination of orders and subcontracts, the cost of
which would be reimbursable in whole or in part, in accordance with
the provisions of this contract; (6) transfer title (to the extent
that title has not already been transferred) and, in the manner, to
the extent, and at the times directed by the Contracting Officer,
deliver to the Government (i) the fabricated or unfabricated parts,
work in process, completed work, supplies, and other material pro-
duced as a part of, or acquired in respect of the performance of,
the work terminated by the Notice of Termination, (ii) the com-
pleted or partially completed plans, drawings, information, and
other property which, if the contract had been completed, would be
required to be furnished to the Government, and (iii) the jigs, dies,
and fixtures, and other special tools and tooling acquired or manu-
factures for the performance of this contract for the cost of which
the Contractor has been or will be reimbursed under this contract;
(7) use its best efforts to sell in the manner, at the times, to the
extent, and at the price or prices directed or authorized by the
Contracting Officer, any property of the types referred to in pro-
vision (6) of this paragraph, provided, however, that the Contractor
(i) shall not be required to extend credit to any purchaser, and

(ii) may acquire any such property under the conditions prescribed
by and at a price or prices approved by the Contracting Officer;
and provided further that the proceeds of any such transfer or dis-
position shall be applied in reduction of any payments to be made

otherwise be credited to the price or cost of the work covered by
this contract or paid in such other manner as the Contracting Offi-
cer may direct; (8) complete performance of such part of the work
as shall not have been terminated by the Notice of Termination, and
(9) take such action as may be necessary, or as the Contracting
Officer may direct, for the protection and preservation of the pro-

Contractor in which the Government has or may acquire an interest.
The Contractor shall proceed immediately with the performance of
the above obligations notwithstanding any delay in determining or
adjusting the amount of the fixed-fee, cr any item of reimbursable
cost, under this clause. At any time after expiration of the plant
clearance period, as defined in Section VIII, Armed Services Pro-
curement Regulation, as it may be amended from time to time, the
Contractor may submit to the Contracting Officer a list, certified
as to quantity and quality, of any or all items of termination in-
ventory not previously disposed of, exclusive of items the disposi-
tion of which has been directed or authorized by the Contracting
Officer, and may request the Government to remove such items or
enter into a storage agreement covering them. Not later than fif-
teen (15) days thereafter, the Government will accept title to such
items and remove them or enter into a storage agreement covering
the same, provided that the list submitted shall be subject to veri-
fication by the Contracting Officer upon removal of the items, or
if the items are stored, within forty-five (45) days from the date
of submission of the list, and any necessary adjustment to correct
the list as submitted shall be made prior to final settlement.
(c) After receipt of a Notice of Termination, the Contractor
shall submit to the Contracting Officer its termination claim in
the form and with the certification prescribed by the Contracting
Officer. Such claim shall be submitted promptly but in no event
later than two years from the effective date of termination, unless
one or more extensions in writing are granted by the Contracting
Officer upon request of the Contractor made in writing within such
two-year period or authorized extension thereof. However, if the
Contracting Officer determines that the facts justify such action,
he may receive and act upon any such termination claim at any time
after such two-year period or any extension thereof. Upon failure

of the Contractor to submit its termination claim within the time
allowed, the Contracting Officer may determine, on the basis of
information available to him, the amount, if any, due to the Con-
tractor by reason of the termination and shall thereupon pay to
the Contractor the amount so determined.
(d) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c), the Contractor
and the Contracting Officer may agree upon the whole or any part of
the amount or amounts to be paid (including an allowance for the
fixed-fee) to the Contractor by reason of the total or partial term-
ination of work pursuant to this clause. The contract shall be
amended accordingly, and the Contractor shall be paid the agreed
amount.
(e) In the event of the failure of the Contractor and the
Contracting Officer to agree in whole or in part, as provided in para-
graph (d) above, as to the amounts with respect to costs and fixed-
fee, or as to the amount of the fixed-fee, to be paid to the Contractor
in connection with the termination of work pursuant to this clause,
the Contracting Officer shall determine, on the basis of information
available to him, the amount, if any, due to the Contractor by reason
of the termination and shall pay to the Contractor the amount deter-
mined as follows:
(1) If the settlement includes cost and fixed-fee:
(i) There shall be included therein all costs and expenses reim-
bursable in accordance with this contract, not previously paid
to the Contractor for the performance of this, contract prior
to the effective date of the Notice of Termination, and such
of these costs as may continue for a reasonable time thereafter
with the approval of or as directed by the Contracting Officer,
provided, however, that the Contractor shall proceed as rapidly
as practicable to discontinue such costs.
(ii) There shall be included therein so far as not included under
(i) above, the cost of settling and paying claims arising out of
the termination of work under subcontracts or orders, as provided
in paragraph (b)(5) above, which are properly chargeable to the
terminated portion of the contract.

Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/01/10: CIA-RDP89B00709R000400880009-0
(iii)There shall be included therein the reasonable costs of
settlement, including accounting, legal, clerical, and
other expenses reasonably necessary for the preparation
of settlement claims and supporting data with respect to
the terminated portion of the contract and for the termina-
tion and settlement of subcontracts thereunder, together
with reasonable storage, transportation, and other costs
incurred in connection with the protection or disposition
of termination inventory; provided, however, that if the
termination is for default of the Contractor there shall
be included any amounts for the preparation of the Con-
tractor's settlement proposal.
(iv) There shall be included therein a portion of the fixed-fee
payable under the contract determined as follows:
(A) In the event of the termination of this contract for
the convenience of the Government and not for the de-
fault of the Contractor, there shall be paid a percent-
age of the fee equivalent to the percentage of the com-
pletion of work contemplated by the contract, less
fixed-fee payments previously made hereunder.
(B) In the event of the termination of this contract for
the default of the Contractor, the total fixed-fee pay-
able shall be such proportionate part of the fee (or,
if this contract calls for articles of different types,
of such part of the fee as is reasonably allocable to
the types of article under consideration) as the total
number of articles delivered to and accepted by the
Government bears to the total number of articles of a
like kind called for by this contract.
If the amount determined under this paragraph is less
than the total payment of fixed-fee theretofore made
to the Contractor, the Contractor shall repay to the
Government the excess amount.
(2) If the settlement includes only the fixed fee, the amount thereof
will be determined in accordance with subparagraph (e)(l)(iv)
above.

clause of this contract entitled "Disputes," from any determination
made by the Contracting Officer under paragraphs (c) or (e) above,

the time provided in paragraph (c) above and has failed to request
extension of such time, he shall have no such right of appeal. In
any case where the Contracting Officer has made a determination of
the amount due under paragraph (c) or (e) above, the Government shall
pay to the Contractor the following: (i) if there is no right of
appeal hereunder or if no timely appeal has been taken, the amount
so determined by the Contracting Officer, or (ii) if an appeal has
been taken, the amount finally determined on such appeal.

claim which the Government may have against the Contractor in connec-
tion with this contract, and (3) the agreed price for, or the pro-
ceeds of sale of, any materials, supplies, or other things acquired

and not otherwise recovered by or credited to the Government.
(h) In the event of a partial termination, the portion of the
fixed-fee which is payable with respect to the work under the con-
tinued portion of the contract shall be equitably adjusted by agree-
ment between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer, and such
adjustment shall be evidenced by an amendment to this contract.
(i) The Government may from time to time, under such terms and
conditions as it may prescribe, make partial payments and payments on
account against costs incurred by the Contractor in connection with
the terminated portion of the contract whenever in the opinion of the
Contracting Officer the aggregate of such payments shall be within
the amount to which the Contractor will be entitled hereunder. If the
total of such payments is in excess of the amount finally determined
to be due under this clause, such excess shall be payable by the Con-
tractor to the Government upon demand, together with interest com-
puted at the rate of 6% per annum, for the period from the date such
excess payment is received by the Contractor to the date on which
such excess is repaid to the Government; provided, however, that no
interest shall be charged with respect to any such excess payment
attributable to a reduction in the Contractor's claim by reason of
retention or other disposition of termination inventory until ten days
after the date of such retention or disposition.

(90) days after the expiration of each period specified in the Schedule,
shall submit to the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative,

the Contractor shall be reimbursed either at negotiated provisional
rates as provided in the Schedule or at billings rates acceptable to the
Contracting Officer or his authorized representative, subject to
appropriate adjustment when the final rates for that period are
established. To prevent substantial over or under payment, the provisional
or billing rates may, at the request of either party, be revised by
mutual agreement, either retroactively or prospectively. Any such
revision of negotiated provisional rates provided in the Schedule
shall be set forth in an amendment to this contract.
(f) Any failure by the parties to agree on any final rate or rates
under this clause shall be considered a dispute concerning a question of
fact for decision by the Contracting Officer within the meaning of the
clause of this contract entitled 'Disputes'."
34. FLIGHT RISK.

ation of any such power plant.

conducting such operations are furnished by the Government or are approved
in writing by the Air Materiel Area Commander having administrative
responsibility for this contract, or his representative to whom such
authority has been delegated. The provisions of this clause shall
supersede any provisions of applicable Air Force specifications insofar
as such specifications relate to Contractor's liability in connection with
such operations.
(c) If prior to final acceptance by the Government, any aircraft,
as referred to in paragraph (b), are lost, destroyed, or damaged during
such operation, and if the risk of such loss, damage or destruction is
borne by the Government under paragraph (f) of the clause hereof entitled
"Government Property," the Government may terminate this contract with
respect to such aircraft, or in case such aircraft is damaged, the
Government may require the Contractor to restore such aircraft to the
condition in which it was immediately prior to such damage. If the
Government terminates this contract with respect to such aircraft, the
Contractor shall deliver to the Government at the place at or from which
such operation is conducted all or such parts of such aircraft as the
Contracting Officer may designate. If the Government requires the

1 "13. PATENT RIGHTS
(a) As used in this clause, the following terms shall have the
meanings; set forth below:
(i) The term "Subject Invention" means any invention, improve-
ment or discovery (whether or not patentable) conceived or first
actually reduced to practice either (A) in the performance of the
experimental, developmental, or research work called for or required
under this contract, or (B) in the performance of any experimental
developmental, or research work relating to the subject matter of this
contract which was done upon an understanding in writing that a contract
would be awarded; PROVIDED that the term "Subject Invention" shall not
include any invention which is specifically identified and listed in
the Schedule for the purpose of excluding it from the license granted
by this clause.
(ii) The term "Technical Personnel" means any person employed
by or working under contract with the Contractor (other than a subcon-
trator whose responsibilities with respect to rights accruing to the
Government in inventions arising under subcontracts are set forth in
paragraphs (g), (h), and (i) of this clause) who, by reason of the
nature of his duties in connection with the performance of this con-
tract, would reasonably be expected to make inventions.
(iii) The terms "subcontract" and "subcontractor" mean any
subcontract or subcontractor of the Contractor, and any lower-tier
subcontract or subcontractor under this contract.
(b) (1) The Contractor agrees to and does hereby grant to the
Government an irrevocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and royalty-
free license to practice, and cause to be practiced by or for the
United States Government throughout the world, each Subject Invention
in the manufacture, use and disposition according to law, or any
article or material, and in the use of any method. No license granted
herein shall convey any right to the Government to manufacture, have
manufactured, or use any Subject Invention for the purpose of providing
services or supplies to the general public in competition with the
Contractor or the Contractor's commerical licensees in the licensed
fields.
(2) With respect to:
Personnel; M any Subject Invention made by other than Technical
(i) any Subject Invention conceived prior to, but first
actually reduced to practice in the course of any of the experimental
developmental, or research work specified , in (a)(i) above; and
(iii) the practice of any Subject Invention in foreign
countries; the obligation of the Contractor to grant a license as pro-
vided in (b)(1) above, to convey title as provided in (d)(ii)(B) or (d)

be limited to the extent of the Contractor's right to grant the same
without incurring any obligation to pay royalties or other compensation
to others solely on account of said grant. Nothing contained in this
Patent Rights clause shall be deemed to grant any license under any
invention other than a Subject Invention.
(c) The Contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer the
following information and reports concerning Subject Inventions which
reasonably appear to be patentable:
(i) a written disclosure promptly after conception or first
actual reduction to practice of each such Invention together with a
written statement specifying whether or not a United States patent
application claiming the Invention has been or will be filed by or on
behalf of the Contractor;
(ii) interim reports, at least every twelve months, commen-
cing with the date of this contract, each listing all such Inventions
conceived or first actually reduced to practice more than three months
prior to the date of the report, and not listed on a prior interim
report, or certifying that there are no such unreported Inventions; and
(iii) prior to final settlement of this contract, a final
report listing all such Inventions including all those previously listed
in interim reports.
(d) In connection with each Subject Invention referred to in (c)(i)
above, the Contractor shall do the following:
(i) if the Contractor specifies that a United States patent
application claiming such Invention will be filed, the Contractor shall
file or cause to be filed such application in due form and time; however,
if the Contractor, after having specified that such an application would
be filed, decided not to file or cause to be filed said application, the
Contractor shall so notify the Contracting Officer at the earliest
practicable date and in any event not later than eight months after
first publication, public use or sale.
(ii) if the Contractor specifies that a United States patent
application claiming such Invention has not been filed and will not be
filed (or having specified that such an application will be filed
thereafter notifies the Contracting Officer to the contrary), the
Contractor shall:
(A) inform the Contracting Officer in writing at the
earliest practicable date of any publication of such Invention made by
or known to the Contractor or, where applicable, of any contemplated
publication by the Contractor, stating the date and identify of such
publication or contemplated publication; and
(B) convey to the Government the Contractor's entire
right, title, and interest in such Invention by delivering to the
Contracting Officer upon written request such duly executed instruments
(prepared by the Government) of assignment and application, and such

other papers as are deemed necessary to vest in the Government the
Contractor's right, title, and interest aforesaid, and the right to
apply for and prosecute patent applications covering such Invention
throughout the world, subject, however, to the right of the Contrac-
tor specified in (e) below to file foreign applications, and subject
further to the reservation of a non-exclusive and royalty-free license
to the Contractor (and to its existing and future associated and affi-
liated companies, if any, within the corporate structure of which the
Contractor is a part) which license shall be assignable to the sucessor
of that part of the Contractor's business to which such Invention
pertains:
(iii) the Contractor shall furnish promptly to the Con-
tracting Officer on request an irrevocable power of attorney to in-
spect and make copies of each United States patent application filed
by or on behalf of the Contractor covering any such Invention;
. (iv) in the event the Contractor, or those other than the
Government deriving rights from the Contractor, elects not to continue
prosecution of any such United States patent application filed by or
on behalf of the Contractor, the Contractor shall so notify the Con-
tracting Officer not less than sixty days before the expiration of the
response period and, upon written request, deliver to the Contrac-
ting Officer such duly executed instruments (prepared by the Government)
as are deemed necessary to vest in the Government the Contractor's
entire right, title, and interest in such Invention and the applica-
tion, subject to the reservation as specified in (d)(ii) above; and
(v) the Contractor shall deliver to the Contracting Officer
duly executed instruments fully confirmatory of any license rights herein
agreed to be granted to the Government.
(e) The Contractor, or those other than the Government deriving
rights from the Contractor, shall have the exclusive rights to file
applications on Subject Inventions in each foreign country within:
(i) nine months from the date a corresponding United States
application is filed;
(ii) six months from the date permission is granted to file foreign
application where such filing had been prohibited for security reasons;
or
(iii) such longer period as may be approved by the Contrac-
ting Officer. The Contractor shall, upon written request of the Con-
tracting Officer, convey to the Government the Contractor's entire
right, title, and interest in each Subject Invention in each foreign
country in which an application has not been filed within 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 as-
signable to the successor of that part of the Contractor's business to
which the Subject Invention pertains.
(f) If the Contractor fails to deliver to the Contracting Officer
the interim reports required by (c)(ii) above, or fails to furnish the

written disclosures for all Subject Inventions required by (c) (i)
above shown to be due in accordance with any interim report delivered
under (c)(ii) or otherwise known to be unreported, there shall be withheld
from payment until the Contractor shall have corrected such failures
either ten percent (10%) of the amount of this contract,' as from time
to time amended, or five thousand dollars 05,000), whichever is less.
After payment of eighty percent (80%) of the amount of this contract,
as from time to time amended, payment shall be withheld until a reserve
of either ten percent (10%) of such amount or five thousand dollars
($5,000), whichever is less, shall have been set aside, such reserve
or balance thereof to be retained until the Contractor shall have fur-
nished to the Contracting Officer:
(i) the final report required by (c)(iii) above;
(ii) written disclosures for all Subject Inventions required
by (c)(i) above which are shown to be due in accordance with interim re-
ports delivered under (c)(ii) above or in accordance with such final
reports or are otherwise known to be unreported; and
(iii) the information as to any subcontractor required by (h)
below. The maximum amount which may be withheld under this paragraph
(f) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount of 'this contract
or five thousand dollars ($5,000), whichever is less, and no amount
shall be withheld under this paragraph (f) when the amount specified
by this paragraph (f) is being withheld under other provisions of this
contract. The withholding of any amount or subsequent payment thereof
to the Contractor shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights ac-
cruing to the Government under this contract. This paragraph (f) shall
not be construed as requiring the Contractor to withhold any amounts
from a subcontractor to enforce compliance with the patent provisions
of a subcontract.
(g) The Contractor shall exert all reasonable effort in negotia-
ting for the inclusion of this Patent Rights clause in any subcontract
hereunder of three thousand dollars ($3,000) or more having experimen-
tal, developmental, 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 auth-
orization, shall cooperate with the Government in the negotiation with
such subcontractor of an acceptable patent rights clause; PROVITED,
however, that the Contractor shall in any event require the subcontrac-
tor 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.
(h) 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 the rights that the Contractor would have
to enforce the subcontractor's obligations for the benefit of the
Government with respect to Subject Inventions. The Contractor shall not
be obligated to enforce the agreements of any subcontractor hereunder
relating to Subject Inventions.
(i) When the Contractor shows that it has been delayed in
the performance of this contract by reason of its inability to obtain
in accordance with (g) above a suitable patent rights clause from a
qualified subcontractor for any item or service required under this
contract 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; and, upon request of the Contractor, the Contracting Officer
shall determine to what extent, if any, an additional 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 contract shall be modified accordingly. If the Contractor, after
exerting all reasonable effort, is unable to obtain a qualified
subcontractor as set forth above, the Contractor may submit to the
Contracting 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 Offi-
cer 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, this contract shall thereupon automatically ter-
minate and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed
by the provisions of the clause of this contract providing for termina-
tion for the convenience of the Government.
