Participant and pay the replacement value. If known at the time

of development of the Task Plan, the replacement value of the

Program Equipment will be specified in the Task Plan.

Program Equipment to the other Participant, or the sale of such

equipment to a Third Party in accordance with Section XII (Third

Party Sales and Transfers) of this MOU. The Participants will

are in effect to ensure that nationals or other entities of a

Third Party will not have access to Classified Information. If

enforceable measures are not in effect to preclude access by

nationals or other entities of a Third Party, the other

Participant will be consulted for approval prior to permitting

such access.

11.8. For any facility wherein Classified Information is to be

used, the responsible Participant or Contractor will approve the

appointment of a person or persons to exercise effectively the

responsibilities for safeguarding at such facility the

information pertaining to this MOU. These officials will be
