        AGREEMENT

       

      Subcontract
        Agreement No. SubK-07-FuGEN-SLMAQM04A0106-1251

       

      

      This
        Subcontractor Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of January 19, 2007, is
        entered into between BearingPoint, LLC
        (“BearingPoint” or “Prime Contractor”), a Delaware limited liability company,
        and FuGEN, Inc., a Delaware corporation
        (“Subcontractor”).  Capitalized terms used herein without definition
        shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Prime Contract (as defined
        below).

       

      Whereas,
        BearingPoint has entered into a contractual Agreement awarded November 14,
        2003
        with the U.S. Department of State (DOS) (the “Client”), Contract
        Number GS35F4338D, BPA# S-LMAQM-04-A-0106 (the “Prime Contract”) and awarded
        order number SAQMPD07F0674 (Task Order 2007-01) DoS Bureau of Information
        Resource Management Office of Information Assurance (IRM/IA),  (the
“Engagement”"); and

       

      Whereas,
        BearingPoint and Subcontractor desire to enter into an agreement pursuant
        to
        which BearingPoint will retain the services of Subcontractor, and Subcontractor
        will agree to furnish its services to BearingPoint in connection with the
        Engagement as a subcontractor to BearingPoint under the Prime
        Contract.

       

      Now
        therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the mutual
        covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as
        follows:

       

      

      
        	
                1.

              	
                Purpose
                  of Engagement.

              

      

       

      Subcontractor
        agrees to perform the services and provide the deliverables in connection
        with
        the Engagement (the “Services”) that are described in the Statement of Work
        (“SOW”) attached hereto as Exhibit A, and Subcontractor agrees to furnish
        BearingPoint the Services on the terms and subject to the conditions set
        forth
        in this Agreement.

       

      
        	
                2.

              	
                Suitable
                  Personnel.

              

      

       

      (a)           The
        Services will be performed for Subcontractor by the persons satisfying the
        labor
        category requirements listed on Exhibit B, attached
        hereto.  Subcontractor’s
        personnel who are designated as essential to performance (“Key
        Personnel”)
        also are identified in Exhibit B.  Subcontractor shall not remove or
        replace Key Personnel without BearingPoint’s
        prior written approval.  If any of the Key Personnel are unavailable
        to continue full-time work called for herein, and if substitute individuals
        approved by BearingPoint are not available to continue the work within five
        (5)
        days (or a longer period of time if mutually agreed upon by both parties)
        from
        such unavailability, BearingPoint shall have the right to replace such
        unavailable Subcontractor Key Personnel with personnel of BearingPoint or
        another subcontractor.  All Subcontractor’s
        personnel shall be subject to the prior approval of BearingPoint, and
        BearingPoint shall have the right, at any time, to request removal of any
        Subcontractor personnel whom BearingPoint deems, in its reasonable discretion,
        to be unsatisfactory and replace them with personnel of BearingPoint or another
        subcontractor.  Upon such request, Subcontractor shall use all
        reasonable efforts to replace within five (5) business days such removed
        individual with a substitute employee(s) of Subcontractor acceptable to
        BearingPoint, having skills and training suitable to perform the
        Services.  Any Client Key Personnel requirements in addition to the
        foregoing are set forth in Exhibit C.

       

      (b)           Subcontractor
        shall, at its expense, conduct a background check, as permitted by law, on
        all
        Subcontractor personnel granted access to the premises or systems of the
        Client
        or BearingPoint.  The background check with respect to each of the
        Subcontractor personnel shall include, at a minimum, verification of educational
        background and professional licensing, a check of any criminal convictions
        for
        at least the past seven years, and a credit check including information for
        at
        least the past five years.  Subcontractor shall not assign any
        individual for whom there has been an adverse finding or result.  Any
        Client security or background check requirements in addition to the foregoing
        are set forth in Exhibit C.

       

      
        	
                3.

              	
                Term.

              

      

       

      The
        term
        of this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and shall continue until
        the
        earlier of (a) the term of the Agreement as specified in Exhibit A or
        (b) termination pursuant to Section 0, Termination,
        hereof.

                Subcontractor's
                  Compensation.

              

      

       

      (a)           During
        the term of this Agreement, BearingPoint agrees to compensate Subcontractor
        at
        the hourly or other billing rate identified in Exhibit A.  Under no

        Subcontractor’s
        performance of the Services in excess of the total “not-to-exceed”
        amount specified in Exhibit A.  BearingPoint will not reimburse
        expenses unless expressly provided in Exhibit A.

       

      (b)           Subcontractor
        shall bill BearingPoint at monthly intervals and not more than 60 days shall
        elapse between performance and submission of an invoice, except for final
        invoices. Subcontractor will submit invoices electronically via
        BearingPoint’s
        web-based application, InvoiceWorks at
www.invoiceworks.net.  

       

      (c)           Invoices
        shall set forth cost elements in the same manner as set forth in Exhibit
        A.  Invoices shall include, the applicable BearingPoint issued
        purchase order (PO) number, Subcontractor ID, an invoice number, the invoice
        date, service date, Subcontract Agreement number, Taxpayer Identification
        Number
        (“TIN”),
        and be presented in a format consistent with the applicable PO (including
        but
        not limited to matching up to the PO line numbers).  Additionally,
        Subcontractor shall also attach (i.e., file upload/FTP transfer) to each
        electronic invoice the applicable supporting documentation, including signed
        timesheets, expense summaries and receipts (for authorized expenses), and
        related time and expense certifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
        Subcontractor may be required to submit supporting documentation as originals
        as
        may be reasonably requested by BearingPoint. The final invoice will list
        all
        prior invoices and will be accompanied by a release of claims and any assignment
        forms.

       

      (d)           BearingPoint
        shall pay correct invoices within  forty-five (45) days of
        BearingPoint's receipt of Subcontractor's invoice.

                Communication
                  with Client.

              

      

       

      BearingPoint
        shall be responsible for coordination of all interactions with the Client
        relative to the Engagement.  The Subcontractor shall have no direct
        communication with the Client regarding the work being performed under the
        Engagement, written or oral, without the prior consent of
        BearingPoint.  Subcontractor shall promptly inform BearingPoint of any
        communications it receives from the Client relative to the
        Engagement.  The only exception shall be communications in the normal
        course of performance when Subcontractor’s personnel are at a Client
        site.

       

      
        	
                7.

              	
                Changes.

              

      

       

      (a)           BearingPoint
        may at any time, by written notice, and without notice to sureties, if any,
        make
        changes within the general scope of this Agreement in any one or more of
        the
        following: (i) description of services to be performed; (ii) time of performance
        (i.e., hours of the day, days of the week, etc.); (iii) place of performance
        of
        the services; (iv) drawings, designs or specifications when supplies to be
        furnished are to be specially manufactured hereunder in accordance with the
        drawings, designs or specifications; (v) method of shipping or packing of
        the
        supplies; (vi) place of delivery; or (iv) Government or BearingPoint furnished
        property.

       

      (b)           If
        any change causes an increase or decrease in any hourly rate, the ceiling
        price,
        or the time required for performance of any part of the work under this
        contract, or otherwise affects, directly or indirectly, any other terms and
        conditions of this Agreement, BearingPoint will make

       

      

      
        
          
            
            

          

          
            --
              2
              --

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

      

      

      an
        equitable adjustment in the ceiling price, the hourly rates, the delivery
        schedule, or other affected terms and will modify the contract
        accordingly.

       

      (c)           Should
        Subcontractor believe that BearingPoint has provided direction to perform
        work
        not required under this Agreement, Subcontractor’s
        sole remedy is to seek an equitable adjustment pursuant to this “Changes”
        clause.

       

      (d)           Any
        claim for an equitable adjustment by Subcontractor pursuant to this “Changes”
        clause must be submitted in writing to BearingPoint within 20 days from the
        date
        of notice of the change or contractual direction, unless the parties agree
        in
        writing to a longer period.

       

      (e)           Failure
        to agree to any adjustment shall be resolved in accordance with the disputes
        procedures of this Agreement.  However, nothing contained in this
“Changes”
        clause shall excuse Subcontractor from proceeding without delay in the
        performance of this Agreement as changed.

       

      (f)           Contractual
        direction, including any changes, alterations, or modifications to this
        Agreement must be made in writing by the BearingPoint Managing Director
        identified in Exhibit A.

      If
        BearingPoint notifies Subcontractor of any non-conformity with the requirements
        of this Agreement or in connection with any of the Services, then, at
        BearingPoint’s election, Subcontractor promptly shall replace or correct such
        non-conformities at its own expense and notify BearingPoint when the corrections
        are complete.  BearingPoint may reasonably inspect the Services at any
        time and place during Subcontractor’s performance.

      (a)           Subcontractor
        represents and warrants that the Services will be performed in a professional
        and workmanlike manner consistent with generally accepted industry
        practices. The Subcontractor shall replace or correct services or materials
        that at time of delivery failed to meet contract requirements.

       

      (b)           THE
        EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL EXHIBITS, SHALL BE IN
        LIEU

                Termination

              

      

       

      BearingPoint,
        by written notice, may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for
        cause.  Additionally, this agreement may be terminated if the Client
        makes changes so as to terminate all or the majority of the work to be
        performed.  If this Agreement is terminated, BearingPoint’s sole
        liability shall be for payment under the payment provisions of this Agreement
        for Services rendered before the effective date of termination, but shall
        in no
        event include that portion of the T&M rate attributable to profit/fee, in
        the event of a termination for cause.

                  Information

              

      

       

      (a)           Confidential
        Information includes all information in any form whatsoever (i) identified
        in
        writing at the time of the disclosure by an appropriate legend, marking,
        stamp
        or other positive written identification, or (ii) identified as proprietary
        to
        the receiving Party orally at the time of disclosure and in writing within
        fifteen (15) calendar days after such disclosure.  All drafts,
        revisions, and final documents that, in whole or in part, comprise or include
        proposals, proposal information, financial data, methodologies, technical
        data
        processes, diagrams, designs, models, or strategic plans of the parties
        disclosed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential
        Information and handled as such, without the requirement of marking or other
        form of identification.

       

      (b)           Confidential
        Information does not include information which: (i) is known to the recipient
        prior to disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) is rightfully received
        by the
        receiving party from a third party having the right to disclose the information;
        (iii) is or becomes publicly available through no act of the receiving party;
        (iv) is hereafter furnished by the disclosing party to others without a similar
        restriction on disclosure; or (v) is independently developed by the receiving
        party without benefit of the other’s
        Confidential Information.

       

      (c)           Each
        party agrees to protect the other’s
        Confidential Information at all times and in the same manner as each protects
        the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential materials, but
        in no
        event with less than a reasonable standard of care.  Recipient agrees
        not to disclose the Confidential Information to any third parties or to any
        of
        its employees except those employees who have a need to know the Confidential
        Information for accomplishing the stated purposes described herein and where
        such employees shall be made aware that the information is confidential and
        shall be under a written contractual restriction on nondisclosure and
        proper

      treatment
        of confidential information that is no less restrictive than the terms of
        this
        Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, recipient may disclose the
        disclosing party’s
        Confidential Information if in the opinion of its counsel disclosure is required
        by law; provided, however, that recipient will use all reasonable efforts
        to
        notify disclosing party of the obligation to make such disclosure in advance
        of
        the disclosure so that disclosing party will have a reasonable opportunity
        to
        object to such disclosure and that recipient requests confidential treatment
        of
        the disclosed Confidential Information.

       

      (d)           Upon
        written request of the other party, each party shall either promptly return
        to
        the other all documents, notes and other tangible materials representing
        the
        other’s
        Confidential Information and all copies thereof or destroy all other copies
        containing such Confidential Information and certify such destruction in
        writing
        to the Discloser.  This obligation to return or destroy materials or
        copies thereof does not extend to automatically generated computer back-up
        or
        archival copies generated in the ordinary course of recipient’s
        information systems procedures, provided that recipient shall make no further
        use of such copies.

       

      (e)           To
        the extent an existing agreement addresses the exchange of Confidential
        Information covered by this Agreement, the prior agreement shall not apply,
        and
        this Agreement shall apply exclusively to the exchange or sharing of
        Confidential Information.  These confidentiality restrictions and
        obligations shall survive for a period of two (2) years after the expiration
        or
        termination of the Engagement.

      Subcontractor’s
        relationship with BearingPoint is that of an independent contractor and nothing
        in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture,
        or employer-employee relationship.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be
        deemed to constitute Subcontractor or BearingPoint the agent of the
        other.  Neither Subcontractor nor BearingPoint shall be or become
        liable or bound by any representation, act or omission whatsoever of the
        other.

      Neither
        party shall assign, transfer, or subcontract all or any portion of this
        Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder without the other party’s express,
        prior written permission.  The parties expressly agree, however, that
        any mergers and/or assignments to successors-in-interest of substantially
        all of
        the assets and business of a party, including this Agreement, would not require
        the written consent of the other party unless such assignment would create
        an
        impermissible organizational conflict of interest or otherwise require client
        approval.

                Disputes
                  under the Prime Contract.

              

      

       

      (a)           To
        the extent the Client requires a mandatory disputes resolution process pursuant
        to statute, regulation, or contract (the “Disputes
        Process”)
        which governs the resolution of questions of law or fact relating to the
        Prime
        Contract, all of the Subcontractor claims, controversies or disputes concerning
        matters which pertain to disputes cognizable under the Disputes Process shall
        be
        governed by the provisions of this Disputes Process and the Subcontractor
        shall
        provide BearingPoint, with a timely and detailed written notice of any such
        claims or controversies.  Any decision under the Disputes Process
        relating to the Agreement or the Subcontractor’s
        performance hereunder shall be conclusive and binding upon the Subcontractor
        unless appealed and reversed.  BearingPoint shall notify the
        Subcontractor of any such decision within ten (10) calendar days of
        BearingPoint’s
        receipt thereof.

       

      (b)           In
        the event BearingPoint elects to appeal any such decision, pursuant to the
        Disputes Process, the Subcontractor shall provide BearingPoint with reasonable
        assistance in the prosecution of such appeal including, but not limited to,
        reasonable access to the Subcontractor’s
        personnel and non-privileged documents.  The Subcontractor further
        agrees to reimburse BearingPoint for any and all reasonable costs associated
        with an appeal arising out of or relating to the Agreement, taken upon behalf
        of
        the Subcontractor.  However, if the Subcontractor notifies
        BearingPoint in writing that such an appeal should not be taken upon the
        Subcontractor’s
        behalf, BearingPoint shall have the right to continue such an appeal upon
        behalf
        of BearingPoint and the Subcontractor with the Subcontractor providing
        reasonable assistance in the prosecution of such an appeal as described
        herein.

       

      (c)           In
        the event BearingPoint elects not to appeal any such decision pursuant to
        the
        Disputes Process of the Prime Contract, BearingPoint shall so notify the
        Subcontractor in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days of BearingPoint’s
        receipt of such decision.  If within ten (10) calendar days of receipt
        of BearingPoint’s
        notice of a decision not to appeal any such decision, the Subcontractor requests
        BearingPoint, in writing, to appeal the decision, BearingPoint may, at its
        sole
        discretion, elect to do so at the sole expense of the Subcontractor provided
        such an appeal would not be in violation of any civil or criminal
        statute.  If BearingPoint appeals any such Final Decision, whether at
        its election or at the Subcontractor’s
        request, a final judgment in any such appeal, if binding upon BearingPoint
        under
        the Prime Contract, shall in turn be binding upon the Subcontractor and
        BearingPoint under

        pursuant to the Disputes Process.

       

      (d)           As
        used herein, the term “appeal”
        shall include any and all proceedings taken by BearingPoint before a Government
        agency, and, if applicable, a Board of Contract Appeals, and any
        court.  The Subcontractor shall be conclusively bound by any decision
        of any such dispute resolution forum or tribunal.  Pending completion
        of Agreement or final disposition of a dispute pursuant to this Section that
        releases Subcontractor from performance, the Subcontractor shall, at all
        times,
        proceed diligently with the performance of the Agreement.

        dispute that is not cognizable under Section 16 and that cannot be amicably
        resolved within a reasonable period of time, BearingPoint and Subcontractor
        hereby irrevocably consent to exclusive and personal jurisdiction in the
        Commonwealth of Virginia, and either party may pursue any right or remedy
        available at law and/or equity in the Commonwealth.  Pending
        completion of the Agreement or final disposition of a dispute pursuant to
        this
        Section that releases Subcontractor from performance, the Subcontractor shall,
        at all times, proceed diligently with the performance of the

      During
        the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year after expiration or termination,
        neither party will employ or solicit for hire as an employee, consultant
        or
        otherwise any of the other party's professional personnel who have had direct
        involvement with the Services provided under this Agreement without the other
        party's express written consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
        neither party will be precluded from hiring any employee of the other party
        who
        responds to any public notice or advertisement of an employment opportunity
        or
        who terminated his/her employment with the other party at least six months
        previously, provided that the hiring party did not solicit the
        termination.  A party shall not be in breach of this
“Non-Solicitation” Section if those responsible for the solicitation, hiring, or
        retention of the other party's personnel were not aware of these restrictions;
        however, personnel of either party working under this Agreement shall be
        presumed to know of the restriction.

                 Indemnification;
                  Limitation of liability.

              

      

       

      (a)           General.  Each
        Party will defend the other Party against any claim by an unaffiliated third
        party from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses (including
        reasonable lawyer’s
        fees), demands or judgments for bodily injury, death or damage to real or
        tangible property which result from or arise out of the negligence or willful
        misconduct of the defending Party during its performance of services under
        this
        Agreement and will pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment
        (or
        settlement to which the Parties consent).  The Party seeking
        indemnification will (i) promptly notify the other in writing, specifying
        the nature of the action, and (ii) cooperate with the indemnifying Party at
        the expense of the indemnifying Party in all reasonable respects in connection
        with the defense of any such action.  The indemnifying party shall
        make no settlement involving consideration, concessions, or agreements other
        than the payment of money and the exchange of releases without the indemnified
        party’s
        consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or
        withheld.

       

      (b)           Intellectual
        Property.  Subcontractor shall indemnify and hold harmless
        BearingPoint and its employees from liability of any nature or kind incurred
        in
        the United States (“Liability”)
        to the extent such Liability results from a third party claim that the Services
        infringe upon a third party's intellectual property
        rights.  BearingPoint shall promptly notify Subcontractor in writing
        of any claim of infringement.  Subcontractor will defend such claim at
        its expense and will pay any costs or damages that may be finally awarded
        against BearingPoint.  Subcontractor will not indemnify BearingPoint,
        however, to the extent the claim of infringement is caused by
        (a) BearingPoint’s
        misuse or modification of the Services; (b) BearingPoint’s
        failure to use corrections or enhancements made available by Subcontractor;
        (c) information, direction, specification or materials provided by
        BearingPoint of any third party.  If the Services are, or in
        Subcontractor’s
        opinion are likely to be, held to be infringing, Subcontractor shall at its
        expense and option either (d) procure the right for the estate to continue
        using it, (e) replace it with a non-infringing equivalent, or
        (f) modify it to make it non-infringing.  If Subcontractor is
        unable remedy the infringement in accordance with the forgoing, Subcontractor
        shall refund to BearingPoint the fees paid for such
        Services.  BearingPoint will (g) promptly notify Subcontractor of
        any third party claim subject to indemnification hereunder, (h) give the
        Subcontractor the right to control and direct the preparation of a defense,
        the
        defense and settlement of any such claim except that Subcontractor shall
        not
        concede any liability on the part of BearingPoint without its prior written
        consent (i) cooperate with the Subcontractor for the defense of
        same.

       

      (c)           LIMITATION
        OF LIABILITY.  EXCEPT FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF
        CONFIDENTIALITY AND THE INDEMNIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY SHALL
        BE
        LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
        DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR LOSS OF PROFITS,
        WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
        POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE
        OR NON-PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

      Throughout
        the term of this Agreement, and for a period of one year thereafter if the
        insurance is claims-based, Subcontractor shall maintain and shall not commence
        services under this Agreement until it has obtained all of the insurance
        required as set forth in Exhibit D.  The Subcontractor shall not allow
        any subcontractor to commence services under a subcontract until the
        subcontractor has obtained all necessary insurance as required in Exhibit
        D, or
        the Subcontractor has insured the subcontractor under its own insurance
        policies.

                  Majeure.

              

      

       

      Neither
        party will be liable for any delays resulting from circumstances beyond its
        reasonable control.  In the event of any force majeure event,
        Subcontractor shall promptly notify BearingPoint of the event that may cause
        a
        delay and take all reasonable actions to mitigate the impact of the
        delay.  In no event will a force majeure event excuse delays in
        performance not directly attributable to the event.

        required.

       

      If
        expenses are authorized by this SOW, the Subcontractor may include allocable
        material handling costs in the charge for material to the extent they are
        clearly excluded from the hourly rate.  Material handling costs are
        comprised of indirect costs, including, when appropriate, general and
        administrative expense, allocated to direct materials in accordance with
        the
        Subcontractor’s usual accounting practices consistent with Subpart 31.2 of the
        FAR.  Profit on materials is prohibited.

          ACTIVITIES

        

        The
          BPA
          holder shall not perform tasks under any resultant order which involves
          the
          following:

        

        a.
          Preparation of any statement of requirements, objectives, or needs to be
          procured by the Government for services, whether to be acquired by future
          orders
          under the program1GSA FSS or by any other contract action at USAID;

        

        b.
          Evaluation of the qualifications of a potential source or any proposal
          for a
          contract or order by the Government for services or any other supplies
          or

          LABOR
            HOUR TASK ORDERS

          

          a.
            It is intended that the majority of orders issued for performance under
            this BPA
            will be Fixed-Priced Task Orders. However, on occasion Labor Hour Task
            Orders
            may be issued. This section applies to such orders only.

          

          b.
            The BPA holders shall furnish all the necessary qualified personnel,
            materials,
            facilities and management resources to furnish the services set forth
            in the
            Statement of Objectives (SOO) or the Performance Work Statement (PWS)
            within the
            terms specified and at the price (s) stated. All orders will be issued
            and
            modified at the labor rates in effect at the time the work is
            performed.

          

          c.
            It is understood and agreed that the BPA holder shall use in the performance
            of
            the contract, the labor categories and hours specified in each
            order.

          

          d.
            The labor categories and hours specified in each order represent the
            current
            best estimate of the services to be performed. To enhance flexibility
            and to
            allow the BPA holder to determine the optimum labor mix for the order
            the BPA
            holder may without notice to the Government, increase or decrease the
            number of
            hours for each category specified in the individual order by no more
            than 50%.
            These adjustments are allowable only to the extent that the ceiling price
            and
            the total number of hours of the labor CLIN (s) are not exceeded. The
            BPA holder
            will not be paid more than the ceiling price of any individual
            order.

          

          e.
            Government Reimbursement of BPA holder-Incurred Training Costs in Support
            of
            Mission-Unique Requirements. BPA holder personnel are required to possess
            all
            the skills necessary to support at least the minimum requirements of
            the
            Performance Work Statement (PWS) tasking for the labor category under
            which they
            are performing. Training to meet such minimum requirements must be provided
            by
            the BPA holder and is included in the fixed price labor rates. In situations
            where the "Government User" being supported by an order under the basic
            contract
            requires some "unique" level of support beyond the minimum requirements
            of the
            PWS because of program/mission-unique needs, then the BPA holder may
            directly
            charge the Task Order (in the same manner as one might charge work-related
            TDY
            expenses) in order to obtain the unique training required for successful
            support
            if authorized in the order. Such education/training might be provided
            by
            Government entities or by "third party" private entities such as companies
            who
            specialize in providing professional or specialized training/education
            seminars/classes. Direct labor expenses, and travel related expenses
            allowable
            under the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), may be allowed to be billed
            on a cost
            reimbursement basis. Tuition/Registration/Book fees
            (costs) that may be applicable to an individual course/seminar may be
            recoverable as a direct cost if specifically authorized in a particular
            order.
            Documentation (in the form of a Program Office signed memorandum that
            such
            contemplated labor, travel, and costs to be reimbursed by the Government
            are
            mission essential and in direct support of "unique" or special Program
            Office
            requirements) will be required to support billing of such costs against
            the
            order, which authorized payment, therefore.

          

          f.
            In the event the BPA holder expends fewer hours than set forth in the
            individual
            order, the total order shall be adjusted to reflect the actual number
            of hours
            expended and the final order price. In no case will the final price exceed
            the
            ceiling price of the order.

          

          g.
            Notwithstanding any other provision, the BPA holder shall maintain sufficient
            accounting records for verification of the hours and categories of labor
            incurred in the performance of each order. It is further understood and
            agreed
            that the accounting records shall be available for Government review
            during the
            performance of the contract and until three years after final payment
            under the
            contract. In the event subcontract labor is included in the labor effort
            contained in paragraph (c) above, the foregoing records provisions shall
            be
            included in the applicable subcontracts.

          

          h.
            Payment under individual orders for CLINS (to be specified in order)
            will be in
            accordance with FAR 52.232-7 entitled "Payments under Time-and-Materials
            and
            Labor-Hour Contracts." Withholding of amounts due as contemplated by
            the clause
            will apply to the total contract and not to individual orders. Withholding
            will
            not exceed $50,000.00 for the entire contract, regardless of the number
            of
            orders issued against the contract, and will apply to the first order
            and
            continue until the maximum withholding amount is reached. To facilitate
            closeout
            of early orders, the amount withheld may be transferred to any subsequent
            active
            order. Ceiling price, as used in the clause, applies to each individual
            order,
            not to the total contract.

              All
                support BPA holder personnel will be required to wear company identification
                badges in order to distinguish themselves from Government (organic)
                employees.
                When conversing with Government personnel during business meetings
                and over the
                telephone, support BPA holder personnel shall identify themselves
                as such to
                avoid situations arising where sensitive topics might be better discussed
                solely
                between Government employees. Where practicable, support BPA holders
                occupying
                collocated workspace with their Government program customer should
                identify
                their workspace area with their name and company affiliation.

              

              

              ORGANIZATIONAL
                CONFLICT OF INTEREST

              

              a.
                This organizational Conflict of Interest Clause will apply to orders
                for
                performance of Advisory and Assistance Services, as defined in FAR
                Subpart 37.2
                as follows.

              

              "Advisory
                and Assistance Services” (A&AS) means those services provided under contract
                to non-governmental sources to support or improve organizational
                policy
                development, decision making, management and administration, program
                and/or
                project management and administration, or R&D activities. It also includes
                the furnishing of professional advice or assistance rendered to improve
                the
                effectiveness of Federal management processes or procedures (including
                those of
                an engineering and technical nature). In rendering the foregoing
                services,
                outputs may take the form of information, advice, opinions, alternatives,
                analyses, evaluations, recommendations, training and the day-to-day
                aid of
                support personnel needed for the successful performance on ongoing
                Federal
                operations. Advisory and assistance services fall into one of the
                following
                subdivisions (see FAR 37.2 for their definitions):

              Examples
                of A&AS, which this OCI clause will apply to, include: Development of
                draft
                acquisitions plans; identification of available private commercial
                sources of
                supplies and service; support of requirements analysis; the drafting
                of
                solicitation documents; recommending performance metrics and incentives;
                identifying share-in-savings and value-based acquisition strategies;

                imminent technological developments, (2) industry or market trends,
                (3) Federal
                agency support available and other acquisition alternatives; and,
                equipment
                lease or purchase options. Assistance may also include support for
                Procurement
                Planning and Analysis; development of acquisition procedures, policies,
                assessments, reviews and inspections; training development support;
                the
                preparation of technical analysis and reports as well as inputs to
                acquisition
                documentation for systems being acquired by Program Offices.

              

              b.
                There may be other requirements which may be ordered required
                under
                this Task Order but which do not fall within the definition of A&AS as
                discussed above. Such requirements may be exempt from the provisions
                of the OCI
                clause. The

            

             

             

            
              
                
                

              

              
                --
                  18
                  --

                
                  

                

              

              
                
                

              

               

              
                Government
                  shall have the right to determine, at its sole discretion, whether
                  services
                  ordered are subject to the OCI provisions of this Task Order. All
                  orders for
                  follow-on support to USAID’s Acquisition and Contract's shall be subject to such
                  OCI provisions unless the order for specific non-A&AS services specified
                  that the OCI provisions do not apply to that particular order.

                

                c.
                  Whenever the Government solicits information from the
                  Contractor for
                  the purposes of issuing a potential order (or, if the Government
                  issues an order
                  without first soliciting information from the Contractor), unless
                  the order
                  states that it is exempt from the OCI provisions, the Contractor
                  shall promptly
                  review the services ordered prior to commencing performance and
                  inform the
                  Contracting Officer, in writing, of any pre-existing circumstances
                  which might
                  create a conflict of interest under the OCI provisions. In such
                  event, the
                  Government may, in its sole discretion, either cancel the order
                  at no-cost to
                  the Government or grant a waiver to the OCI provisions and direct
                  the Contractor
                  to proceed with performance.

                

                Limitations:

                

                To
                  prevent conflicting roles, which may bias the Contractor's judgment
                  or
                  objectivity, and to preclude the Contractor from obtaining an unfair
                  competitive
                  advantage in concurrent or future acquisitions, the Contractor
                  will be
                  restricted as set forth in subparagraph b.

                    g.
                      In the event the contractor subcontracts any work to be performed
                      under a
                      classified task order, the contractor is responsible for issuing
                      the security
                      guidance provided by USAID to any subcontractor and ensuring
                      that subcontractors
                      comply with security requirements of the BPA.

                    

                    h.
                      The Office of Security will issue RRB facility passes to individual

                      employees are
                      returned upon termination of employment or completion of the
                      task order,

                      This BPA may require access to national security information
                      classified up to
                      the "Top Secret" level and unclassified USAID information designated
                      "Sensitive
                      but Unclassified" (SBU).

                    

                    j.
                      The actual level of access to national security information
                      for each Task Order
                      issued against this BPA will be clearly stated in the individual
                      Task Order.
                      Additionally, a separate DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification
                      Specification, will be issued for each classified task.

                    

                    k.
                      The USAID Program Manager and Cognizant Technical Officer (CTO)
                      will determine
                      the security levels and other accesses required for all positions
                      under this
                      contract, to include subcontractors.

                    

                    1.
                      All contractor personnel are required, prior to being granted
                      access to USAID
                      networks and/or systems, to obtain the proper security clearances,
                      if required,
                      read and sign the User Agreement, and attend a Security Briefing
                      prior to being
                      granted access to USAID networks and/or systems.

                    

                    m.
                      Contractor personnel assigned to work in the Ronald
                      Reagan Building
                      must have been granted and maintain a "Secret" level security
                      clearance by the
                      Defense Security Service while performing on any classified
                      task associated with
                      this BPA. Those contractor personnel assigned to the USAID
                      Technology Hub or
                      other remote sites that require access to USAID networks and/or
                      systems are
                      required to comply with signing the User Agreement, and attending
                      a Security
                      Briefing prior to being granted access.

                    

                    n.
                      No contractor personnel will be issued a USAID Building Pass,
                      which allows
                      unescorted access in USAID workspace without the proper security
                      clearance
                      issued by DSS and a Security Briefing. The USAID Program Manager
                      and CTO will
                      determine whether Contractor personnel require a USAID Ronald
                      Reagan Building
                      (RRB) pass. The Contractor will be required to provide a certification
                      to USAID
                      SEC and the CTO of the security clearance, e.g., Request for
                      Visit Authorization
                      or Letter of Consent (DISCO) Form 560) provided by the contractor's
                      FSO. Interim
                      security clearances will be accepted by USAID.

                    o.
                      Any discrepancies, doubts or questions concerning the proper
                      sensitivity or
                      classification level of information provided to the contractor
                      will be forwarded
                      to the USAID CTO for resolution.

                    

                    p.
                      The Contractor shall not store any Sensitive but Unclassified
                      (SBU) information
                      or materials in the contractor's controlled space without the
                      prior approval of
                      the USAID CTO.

                    

                    q.
                      The Contractor is not permitted to remove from USAID'S Headquarters
                      or
                      facilities any classified national security information without
                      prior written
                      authorization from the USAID CTO. The designated USAID CTO
                      Program Officer for
                      this BPA must have written approval from USAID's Office of
                      Security prior to
                      authorizing a contractor to remove and/or store at a contractor's
                      facility
                      classified information under the control of USAID. Upon completion
                      of a task
                      order, all SBU and/or classified material will be returned
                      to the U.S.
                      Government.

                      employees.

                    

                    t.
                      The Contractor shall submit for approval, to the USAID CTO,
                      the security
                      requirements for any Subcontractor that the Contractor employs.

                    

                    u.
                      The Contractor will operate in accordance with the
