[THE FOLLOWING CLAUSES ARE SET FORTH IN FULL TEXT:]{.underline}

I.2. [52.222-39 NOTIFICATION OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS CONCERNING PAYMENT OF
UNION DUES OR FEES (DEC 2004) (only if over \$100,000)]{.underline}

\(a\) *Definition*. As used in this clause---

*United States* means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Wake Island.

\(b\) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, during the
term of this contract, the Contractor shall post a notice, in the form
of a poster, informing employees of their rights concerning union
membership and payment of union dues and fees, in conspicuous

places in and about all its plants and offices, including all places
where notices to employees are customarily posted. The notice shall
include the following information (except that the information
pertaining to National Labor Relations Board shall not be

included in notices posted in the plants or offices of carriers subject
to the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151-- 188)).

Notice to Employees

Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or
maintain membership in a union in order to retain their jobs. Under
certain conditions, the law permits a union and an employer to enter
into a union-security agreement requiring employees to pay uniform
periodic dues and initiation fees. However, employees who are not union
members can object to the use of

their payments for certain purposes and can only be required to pay
their share of union costs relating to collective bargaining, contract
administration, and grievance adjustment.

If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support
activities not related to collective bargaining, contract
administration, or grievance adjustment, you are entitled to an
appropriate reduction in your payment. If you believe that you have been
required to pay dues or fees used in part to support activities not
related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance
adjustment, you may be entitled to a refund and to an appropriate
reduction in

future payments.

For further information concerning your rights, you may wish to contact
the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) either at one of its Regional
offices or at the following

address or toll free number:

National Labor Relations Board

Division of Information

1099 14th Street, N.W.

Washington, DC 20570

1-- 866-- 667-- 6572

1-- 866-- 316-- 6572 (TTY)

To locate the nearest NLRB office, see NLRB's website at
*http://www.nlrb.gov*.

\(c\) The Contractor shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order
13201 of February 17, 2001, and related implementing regulations at 29
CFR part 470, and orders of the Secretary of Labor.

\(d\) In the event that the Contractor does not comply with any of the
requirements set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), or (g), the Secretary may
direct that this contract be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in
whole or in part, and declare the Contractor ineligible for further
Government contracts in accordance with procedures at 29 CFR

part 470, Subpart B--- Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations
and Enforcement Procedures. Such other sanctions or remedies may be
imposed as are provided by 29 CFR part 470, which implements Executive
Order 13201, or as are otherwise provided by law.

\(e\) The requirement to post the employee notice in paragraph (b) does
not apply to---

\(1\) Contractors and subcontractors that employ fewer than 15 persons;

\(2\) Contractor establishments or construction work sites where no
union has been formally recognized by the Contractor or certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative of the Contractor's employees;

\(3\) Contractor establishments or construction work sites located in a
jurisdiction named in the definition of the United States in which the
law of that jurisdiction forbids enforcement of union-security
agreements;

\(4\) Contractor facilities where upon the written request of the
Contractor, the Department of Labor Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Labor-Management Programs has waived the posting requirements with
respect to any of the Contractor's facilities if the Deputy

Assistant Secretary finds that the Contractor has demonstrated that---

\(i\) The facility is in all respects separate and distinct from
activities of the Contractor related to the performance of a contract;
and

\(ii\) Such a waiver will not interfere with or impede the effectuation
of the Executive order; or

\(5\) Work outside the United States that does not involve the
recruitment or employment of workers within the United States.

\(f\) The Department of Labor publishes the official employee notice in
two variations; one for contractors covered by the Railway Labor Act and
a second for all other contractors. The Contractor shall---

\(1\) Obtain the required employee notice poster from the Division of
Interpretations and Standards, Office of Labor-Management Standards,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room N-- 5605,
Washington, DC 20210, or from any

field office of the Department's Office of Labor-Management Standards or
Office

of Federal Contract Compliance Programs;

\(2\) Download a copy of the poster from the Office of Labor-Management
Standards website at *http://www.olms.dol.gov*; or

\(3\) Reproduce and use exact duplicate copies of the Department of
Labor's official poster.

\(g\) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in every
subcontract or purchase order that exceeds the simplified acquisition
threshold, entered into in connection with this contract, unless
exempted by the Department of Labor Deputy

Assistant Secretary for Labor--Management Programs on account of special
circumstances in the national interest under authority of 29 CFR
470.3(c). For indefinite quantity subcontracts, the Contractor shall
include the substance of this clause if

the value of orders in any calendar year of the subcontract is expected
to exceed

the simplified acquisition threshold. Pursuant to 29 CFR part 470,
Subpart B--- Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations and
Enforcement Procedures, the Secretary of Labor may direct the Contractor
to take such action in the enforcement of these regulations, including

the specified minimum quantity. Original contract price does not include
the price of any options, except those options exercised at the time of

\$100,000 or less, the successful offeror shall furnish performance and
payment bonds to the Contracting Officer as follows:

\(1\) *Performance bonds (Standard Form 25)*. The penal amount of

the original contract price.

\(2\) *Payment Bonds (Standard Form 25-A)*. The penal amount of payment
bonds at the time of contract award shall be 100 percent of the original

(40 U.S.C. 3133(c))*. Any waiver of the right to sue on the payment bond
is void unless it is in writing, signed by the person whose right is
waived, and executed after such person has first furnished labor or
material for use in the performance of the contract."

I.9 652.225-71 SECTION 8(A) OF THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACTS OF 1979,
AS AMENDED (AUG 1999)

\(a\) Section 8(a) of the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended (50 U.S.C. 2407(a)), prohibits compliance by U.S. persons with
any boycott fostered by a foreign country against a country which is
friendly to the United States and which is not itself the object of any
form of boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation. The Boycott
of Israel by Arab League countries is such a boycott, and therefore, the
following actions, if taken with intent to comply with, further, or
support the Arab League Boycott of Israel, are prohibited activities
under the Export Administration Act:

> \(1\) Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to do business
> with or in Israel, with any Israeli business concern, or with any
> national or resident of Israel, or with any other person, pursuant to
> an agreement of, or a request from or on behalf of a boycotting
> country;
>
> \(2\) Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to employ or
> otherwise discriminating against any person on the basis of race,
> religion, sex, or national origin of that person or of any owner,
> officer, director, or employee of such person;
>
> \(3\) Furnishing information with respect to the race, religion, or
> national origin of any U.S. person or of any owner, officer, director,
> or employee of such U.S. person;
>
> \(4\) Furnishing information about whether any person has, has had, or
> proposes to have any business relationship (including a relationship
> by way of sale, purchase, legal or commercial representation, shipping
> or other transport, insurance, investment, or supply) with or in the
> State of Israel, with any business concern organized under the laws of
> the State of Israel, with any Israeli national or resident, or with
> any person which is known or believed to be restricted from having any
> business relationship with or in Israel;
>
> \(5\) Furnishing information about whether any person is a member of,
> has made contributions to, or is otherwise associated with or involved
> in the activities of any charitable or fraternal organization which
> supports the State of Israel; and,
>
> 6\) Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise implementing a letter
> of credit which contains any condition or requirement against doing
> business with the State of Israel.

\(b\) Under Section 8(a), the following types of activities are not
forbidden \`\`compliance with the boycott,\'\' and are therefore
exempted from Section 8(a)\'s prohibitions listed in paragraphs

(a)(1)-(6) above:

> \(1\) Complying or agreeing to comply with requirements:
>
> \(i\) Prohibiting the import of goods or services from Israel or goods
> produced or services provided by any business concern organized under
> the laws of Israel or by nationals or residents of Israel; or,
>
> \(ii\) Prohibiting the shipment of goods to Israel on a carrier of
> Israel, or by a route other than that prescribed by the boycotting
> country or the recipient of the shipment;

\(2\) Complying or agreeing to comply with import and shipping document
requirements with respect to the country of origin, the name of the
carrier and route of shipment, the name of the supplier of the shipment
or the name of the provider of other services, except that no
information knowingly furnished or conveyed in response to such
requirements may be stated in negative, blacklisting, or similar
exclusionary terms, other than with respect to carriers or route of
shipments as may be permitted by such regulations in order to comply
with precautionary requirements protecting against war risks and
confiscation;

\(3\) Complying or agreeing to comply in the normal course of business
with the unilateral and specific selection by a boycotting country, or
national or resident thereof, of carriers, insurance, suppliers of
services to be performed within the boycotting country or specific goods
which, in the normal course of business, are identifiable by source when
imported into the boycotting country;

\(4\) Complying or agreeing to comply with the export requirements of
the boycotting country relating to shipments or transshipments of
exports to Israel, to any business concern of or organized under the
laws of Israel, or to any national or resident of Israel;

\(5\) Compliance by an individual or agreement by an individual to
comply with the immigration or passport requirements of any country with
respect to such individual or any member of such individual\'s family or
with requests for information regarding requirements of employment of
such individual within the boycotting country; and,

\(6\) Compliance by a U.S. person resident in a foreign country or
agreement by such person to comply with the laws of that country with
respect to his or her activities exclusively therein, and such
regulations may contain exceptions for such resident complying with the
laws or regulations of that foreign country governing imports into such
country of trademarked, trade named, or similarly specifically
identifiable products, or components of products for his or her own use,
including the performance of contractual services within that country,
as may be defined by such regulations.

I.10 [652.229-71 PERSONAL PROPERTY DISPOSITION AT POSTS ABROAD (AUG
1999)]{.underline}

Regulations at 22 CFR Part 136 require that U.S. Government employees
and their families do not profit personally from sales or other
transactions with persons who are not themselves entitled to exemption
from import restrictions, duties, or taxes. Should the contractor
experience importation or tax privileges in a foreign country because of
its contractual relationship to the United States Government, the
contractor shall observe the requirements of 22 CFR Part 136 and all
policies, rules, and procedures issued by the chief of mission in that
foreign country.
