Premises are taken by any authorized entity by eminent domain or by private
sale to a governmental authority under

the threat
thereof, or if part of the Leased Premises is taken so as to substantially
interfere with the use thereof, then Tenant shall have the option, to be
exercised within sixty (60) days after the taking, to terminate this Lease by
notice to Landlord, which termination shall be deemed to be effective as of the

Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to receive and retain such separate
awards and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective
interests in any condemnation proceedings, or as may be otherwise agreed,
taking into consideration the fact that Landlord’s interest in the premises is

each party shall select an independent M.A. I. real estate appraiser (an “Appraiser”).
Each appraiser shall separately determine the amount of the balance of the
condemnation award that is to be allocated to the interests of Landlord and
Tenant. If the percentage of the balance of the total award each Appraiser
allocates to Landlord (a) are within ten (10%) of each other, the two (2)
allocations shall be averaged and such average shall be the final allocation of
the award, or (b) are not within ten (10%) of each other, the two Appraisers
shall then select a third Appraiser who shall independently allocate the award
between Landlord and Tenant, and the middle of such three (3) allocations shall
be the final allocation of the award.

the remaining portion of the Term (provided, however, a reasonable period of
time, not to exceed twenty four (24) months, may be considered as a leasing period
by which the Premises would not be leased and therefore no income would be
realized for such period) reduced to present value at the above specified
discount rate; plus (iv) Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred in the
enforcement hereof including reasonable attorneys fees as herein provided, or
(c) maintain Tenant’s right to possession, in which case this Lease shall

which the parties
are unable to resolve in said face-to-face meeting shall be heard and finally
settled at a mutually agreed upon location by the parties, by binding
arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration
Association. If the parties do not agree upon a location, the arbitration
proceeding shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas. Any award entered in any such
arbitration shall be final, binding, and may be entered and enforced in any
court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall make such orders, conduct
and schedule all proceedings in connection with the arbitration so that final
arbitration commences no less than thirty (30) days and concludes no later than
seventy-five (75) days after a party files the initial notice of arbitration,
and so that the final arbitration award is made and delivered to the parties
within ninety (90) days after the filing of the initial notice of arbitration.

arbitrator, in any manner determined by him/her based upon the fault or lack
thereof by the respective parties. If the cost of such arbitration is not
apportioned by the arbitrator, then the cost shall be borne equally between the

permitted under the laws applicable to this Agreement, or any such other

ARTICLE E-2                     INSPECTION AND CERTIFICATION OF
FACILITY

(a)                                  The Contractor shall provide and maintain an
inspection and certification system covering the facilities provided to the
Government under this contract which is acceptable to the Government.  Complete records of all inspection work
performed by the Contractor shall be maintained and made available and
accessible, in a timely fashion, to the Government during contract performance
and for as long afterwards as the contract requires.

(b)                                 The Government has the right to attend,
observe and otherwise participate in the inspection and testing of all
facilities called for by the contract, to the extent practicable at all times
and places during the term of the contract. 
The Government shall provide its assessment of those inspections and
tests that, in the judgment of the Government, do not satisfy or conform to the
requirements of the contract, in a manner that will not unduly disrupt or delay
the work.

(c)                                  From receipt of certificate of facility
readiness (DRL 4) through the facility occupancy period, if the facility does
not conform with contract requirements, NASA may require the Contractor to
provide the facility in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase
in contract price.  When the defects in
the facility cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may (1)
require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future
performance conforms to contract requirements, (2) reduce the contract price to
reflect the reduced value of the facility provided, (3) by contract or
otherwise, provide the facility or perform the services and charge to the
Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the
performance of such service and/or (4) terminate the contract for default.

(d)                                 If the Government performs inspections or
tests on the premises of the Contractor or a subcontractor, the Contractor
shall furnish, and shall require subcontractors to furnish, without additional
charge, all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safe, clean and
convenient performance of these duties.

ARTICLE F-3                     PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The place of performance
will be at the contractor facility on Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA.

ARTICLE F-4                     ADJUSTMENTS TO PAYLOAD PROCESSING
SCHEDULE
(GOVERNMENT AND CONTRACTOR
DELAYS)

(a)           Definitions

The following definitions are applicable to this clause:

Launch Date (LD):  The
launch date as specified in the Payload Processing Task Order.

 12
 

Initial Facility
Occupancy  (IFO) Date:  The
initial facility occupancy date as specified in the Payload Processing Task
Order (PPTO).   This date reflects the Spacecraft
User utilization of the facility.   The
Contractor shall permit access to the facility for NASA Communications
installation and checks in preparation of Spacecraft User arrival.  This access is limited to one week, and will
not count against the Occupancy Period.

Facility Departure Date:  The date that all payload hardware and
personnel have vacated the facility, nominally  7 days after the launch date.

Occupancy Period:  The period of time from the
Initial Facilty Occupancy date to the Facility Departure Date, nominally 14
weeks plus any applicable grace period.

Delay:   A
Government or contractor delay of either IFO date or the LD.  A Delay will be effected by the delaying
party providing a written notice specifying the duration of the delay.

Grace Period:  An
allowable period of time for delays of the LD (if notification of delay is made
after initial facility occupancy date). During the grace period, delay damages
are waived. The total cumulative grace period used for any one mission cannot
exceed 1 week.

(b)                                 Schedule Adjustments

The Contractor shall be notified of
government delays in IFO and/or LD in a timely manner.  Government delays declared after the first
PPTO payment has been made and prior to IFO are subject to equitable
adjustment.  Government Delays declared
between IFO and Facility Departure Date will be subject to equitable adjustment
to cover Contractor costs not otherwise included in the weekly extended
facility occupancy rate which applies to delays extending the Occupancy Period
plus grace period, if applicable.  This
rate shall be applied in weekly denominations only and shall be calculated in
accordance with terms set forth in the contract.  Contractor delays shall be subject to
equitable adjustment credits.  Delays
caused by the Contractor’s inability to support mission schedule requirements
due to changes in other launch customer requirements, including other
Government launch customers, will be considered Contractor delays and may
result in the Government terminating the PPTO without penalty to the
Government.

(c)           No Fault

1.     There shall be no postponement fees or equitable adjustment when
the delay arises solely out of causes beyond the control of NASA or the
Contractor, and not due to the fault or negligence of NASA or the Contractor.  Such causes include but are not limited to
the following:

 13
 

Delays resulting from, Acts
of God, acts (including delay or failure) of any Governmental authority other
than the contracting agency, wars, riots, revolution, hijacking, strikes,
freight embargoes, sabotage, epidemics, or any condition which jeopardizes the
safety of the employees of the Government, the Contractor, or its
subcontractors.

Should any of the above
occur, the Contractor shall be responsible for taking reasonable steps to mitigate
any impacts to the payload processing facility schedule.  Further, each party agrees to bear its own
costs for the delay with no increase to the contract price.

                                                2.     The
Contracting Officer shall decide whether events or causes for delays are/are
not beyond the control of NASA or the Contractor.  Any disagreement shall be subject to the
Disputes clause.

(d)           Notice

If the Contractor or Government receives a
Notice of Delay, the Contractor or Government shall, within three days of
receipt, agree to the requested new IFO date and/or LD or propose an
alternative.  If the Government and
Contractor fail to agree on a new IFO date and/or LD, then the Contracting
Officer shall set the new IFO date and/or LD except as noted in paragraph (e)
below.  Any disagreement shall be subject
to the Disputes clause of this contract.

(e)           Scheduling

The Contractor will use its
best efforts to accommodate and agree to the Government’s request for a new IFO
date or LD.  If the Contractor is unable
to meet the Government’s request because of its other service obligations to
third parties, the Contractor will consult with the Government and treat the
Government’s request at least as favorably as the requests of third parties, in
the Contractor’s attempt to reschedule the affected services in an equitable
manner.  In the event that commitments to
other launch customers, including other Government customers, preclude the
Contractor from meeting NASA mission requirements, the Government may terminate
the PPTO without penalty to the Government.

 (f)           Concurrent
Delays

The parties agree that the liquidated damages
and/or equitable adjustment specified in this contract for IFO and/or LD delays
are not payable for concurrent delays by NASA and the Contractor.

 14
 

ARTICLE F-5                     FAR 52.217-9 OPTION TO
EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (Mar 2000)

(a)                                The Government may extend the term of this contract by
written notice to the Contractor within the last 6 months of the current period
of performance; provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary
written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the contract
expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

(b)                               If the Government exercises this option, the extended
contract shall be considered to include this option clause.

(c)                                The total duration of this contract, including the exercise
of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 4 years, 9 months.

ARTICLE G-2                   TASK ORDERING PROCEDURES

A.
Types of Task Orders.

There are two types of task orders that may be issued under this
contract:  (1) Payload Processing Task
Order (PPTO) and (2) non-PPTOs.  PPTOs
will be used to order standard payload processing services (CLIN 1, 6 & 11)
and any CLIN 2-5, 7-10 or 12-15 services related to a specific payload
processing service.  Items other than
CLIN 1 payload processing services that are not related to a specific payload
processing service will be obtained by non-PPTOs.  PPTOs will be ordered in accordance with the
procedures set forth in FAR 16.505. The Government has the unilateral right to
order, and the contractor has the obligation to provide, payload processing
services under this contract at the NTE prices stated herein.  Any such unilateral order shall be issued no
later than 60 days prior to the initial occupancy date (CLIN 1) or required
performance date (CLIN 2).  The
Contractor may, however, return a unilateral order or otherwise decline to bid
on a Request for Payload Processing Services Proposal (PPSP), in the event that
the requested facility occupancy period is contractually committed to another
party.  Proposal preparation costs
associated with responding to any request for proposal under this contract that
may or may not lead to an order, must be treated as an indirect cost.

B.    Payload Processing Task
Orders

1.   Requests for Payload Processing Services Proposals
(PPSP).  The request for PPSP
will provide any special instructions regarding the level of detail required in
the proposal, and will include a date and time for submission of the
proposal.  Generally, proposals will be
due within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the request for PPSP.

2.   Payload Processing Services Proposal.  The Contractor, when submitting a
PPSP, shall indicate the PPSP is compliant with the contract terms, statement
of work, and the specific requirements contained in the request for PPSP.

 16
 

Pricing for all PPSPs standard and non-standard services shall not
exceed the maximum NTE prices contained in Tables B-6.1 through B-6.6 of this
contract, but may be adjusted downward by the Contractor for the specific
payload processing service being proposed. 
Any Contractor proposed reduction will be applicable to the current PPSP
only and will not be deemed as a permanent reduction of the NTE prices
contained in Tables B-6.1 through B-6.6. 
Any mission unique services, special task assignments, or facility
modifications not priced in the non-standard services must be separately
identified and individually priced. 
Pricing detail shall be sufficient to allow the Government to determine
price reasonableness.

The
proposed payload processing services price, including applicable priced
non-standard services, mission unique services, special task assignments, or
facility modifications shall be totaled for a single firm-fixed price for all
efforts required under the order for that payload processing service.  The total firm-fixed price shall be applied
to the percentages in Article H.8, “Milestone Performance and Payment”, for
conversion to dollar amounts for each payment event.  In addition, the accomplishment criteria
narration shall be appropriately modified to add any non-standard services
and/or mission unique modifications.

3.     Payload Processing Services Proposal
Evaluation.  The Contracting
Officer will evaluate the following factors prior to award of a PPTO:

a.             Technical capability/risk, including the
following:

(1)        Contractor’s ability to meet specific spacecraft requirements,
including schedule requirements, as specified in the Request for PPSP.

(2)   Information gained through
Government Insight and Approval activities.

(3)        Unique terms and conditions contained in a
contract which may impact price, performance or risk.

b.              Reasonableness of proposed price, including
any probable cost impacts to the Government as a result of technical risks.

4. Modifications to Payload Processing Services Task
Orders.  After a PPTO is
issued, it may be necessary to add priced non-standard services to the PPTO.  These additions will be accomplished via
modifications to the original PPTO.  In
addition, mission unique services that are not included in the priced
non-standard services may be added to, or deleted from, PPTO’s via modification
to the original PPTO.  In this instance,
the terms of the existing PPTO, such as price, payment events, and
accomplishment criteria, will be modified to reflect the change.

C.    Non-PPTOs

Issuance of non-PPTOs will normally be a follow-on to a PPTO and,
therefore, issued pursuant to paragraph B.4 of this Article (Task Ordering
Procedures).  Non-PPTOs may be issued for
special task assignments under CLIN 4, 9, and 14, non-standard services priced 

 17
 

under CLIN 2, 7, and 12, mission unique services under CLIN 3, 8, and
13, and facility modifications under CLIN 5, 10, and 15.  However, as mentioned above, any non-standard
services related to a specific payload processing service will be ordered via a
PPTO or a modification to a PPTO.

D.    Task Order Authorization and
Content

As stated in NFS 1852.216-80
Alt. I, the only person
authorized to issue task orders under this contract is the Kennedy Space Center
Contracting Officer.  Task orders will be
issued in writing; however, any facsimile, electronic, or oral task orders issued
by the Contracting Officer will be confirmed in writing within 5 business
days.  The Contractor will acknowledge
receipt and acceptance of the task order by signing the task order and
returning it to the Contracting Officer. 
Each task order will include the following information:

1.             Date of the task order;

2.             Contract number and task order number;

3.             Statement of Work and any other documentation
on which the price is based;

4.             Product or Service to be delivered;

5.             Task order price;

6.             Completion/Delivery date;

7.             Accounting and appropriation data.

ARTICLE G-3                   INVOICE INSTRUCTIONS

Contractors are encouraged to use copies of the MIRR (DD Form 250) as
an invoice, in lieu of a commercial form, but are not required to do so.  When used as an invoice, four copies shall be
prepared and forwarded to the payment office as follows:

(i)                                     Complete Blocks 5, 6, 19 and 20.

(ii)                                  Mark in letters approximately one inch high,
first copy: “ORIGINAL INVOICE”; three copies: “INVOICE COPY.”

(a)             Safety is the freedom from those conditions
that can cause death, injury, occupational illness, damage to or loss of
equipment or property, or damage to the environment.  NASA’s safety priority is to protect: (1) the
public, (2) astronauts and pilots, (3) the NASA workforce (including contractor
employees working on NASA contracts), and (4) high-value equipment and
property.

(b)            The Contractor shall take all reasonable
safety and occupational  health
measures in performing this contract. The Contractor shall comply with all
Federal, State, and local laws applicable to safety and occupational  health including AFSPCMAN 91-710, Range Safety User
Requirements Manual and any other relevant requirements of this contract.  The Contractor shall comply with AFSPCMAN
91-710 unless they have an existing agreement with the Range to use a
predecessor document, such as Eastern & Western Range Safety requirements,
EWR 127-1.  Proof of such agreement must
be provided to NASA.

(c)             The Contractor shall take, or cause to be
taken, any other safety, and occupational health  measures the
Contracting Officer may reasonably direct. 
To the extent that the Contractor may be entitled to an equitable
adjustment for those measures under the terms and conditions of this contract,
the equitable adjustment shall be determined pursuant to the procedures of the
Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items clause of this contract;
provided, that no adjustment shall be made under this Safety and Health clause
for any change for which an equitable adjustment is expressly provided under any
other clause of the contract.

(d)            The Contractor shall immediately notify and
promptly report to the Contracting  Officer or a
designee any accident, incident, or exposure resulting in fatality, lost-time
occupational injury, occupational disease, contamination of property beyond any
stated acceptable limits set forth in the contract Schedule; or property loss
of $25,000 or more, or Close Call (a situation or occurrence with no injury, no
damage or only minor damage (less than $1,000) but possesses the potential to
cause any type mishap, or any injury, damage, or negative mission impact) that
may be of immediate interest to NASA, arising out of work performed under this
contract per NPR 8621.1B.  The Contractor
is not required to include in any report an
expression of opinion as to the fault or negligence of any employee.

(e)             The Contractor shall investigate all
work-related incidents, accidents, and Close Calls, to the extent necessary to
determine their causes and furnish the Contracting Officer a report, in such
form as the Contracting Officer may require, of the investigative findings and
proposed or completed corrective actions.

 20

(f)      (1) The Contracting Officer may notify the Contractor in writing of any
noncompliance with this clause and specify corrective actions to be taken.  When the Contracting Officer becomes aware of
noncompliance that may pose a serious or imminent danger to safety and health
of the public, astronauts and pilots, the NASA workforce (including contractor
employees working on NASA contracts), or high value mission critical equipment
or property, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor orally, with written
confirmation. The Contractor shall promptly take and report any necessary
corrective action.

(2)  If the Contractor fails or refuses to
institute prompt corrective action in accordance with subparagraph (f)(1) of
this clause, the Contracting Officer may invoke the stop-work order clause in
this contract or any other remedy available to the Government in the event of
such failure or refusal.

(g)
  The Contractor (or subcontractor or supplier)
shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (g) and any
applicable Schedule provisions and clauses, with appropriate changes of
designations of the parties, in all solicitations and subcontracts of every
tier, when one or more of the following conditions exist:

(1)
          The work will be conducted completely or
partly on premises owned or controlled by the Government.

(2)           The
work includes construction, alteration, or repair of facilities in excess of
the simplified acquisition threshold.

(3)           The work, regardless of place of performance, involves hazards that
could endanger the public, astronauts and pilots, the NASA workforce (including
Contractor employees working on NASA contracts), or high value equipment or
property, and the hazards are not adequately addressed by Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) or Department of Transportation (DOT)
regulations (if applicable).

(4)           When the Contractor (or subcontractor or supplier) determines that the
assessed risk and consequences of a failure to properly manage and control the
hazard(s) warrants use of the clause.

(h)     The Contractor (or subcontractor or supplier)
may exclude the provisions of paragraph (g) from its solicitation(s) and
subcontract(s) of every tier when it determines that the clause is not
necessary because the application of the OSHA and DOT (if applicable)
regulations constitute adequate safety and occupational health protection.  When a determination is made to exclude the
provisions of paragraph (g) from a solicitation and subcontract, the Contractor
must notify and provide the basis for the determination to the Contracting
Officer.  In subcontracts of every tier
above the micro-purchase threshold for which paragraph (g) does not apply, the
Contractor (or subcontractor or supplier) shall insert the substance of
paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (f) of this clause).

(i)      Authorized Government representatives of the
Contracting Officer shall have access to and the right to examine the sites or
areas where work under this contract is being 

 21
 

performed
in order to determine the adequacy of the Contractor’s safety and occupational  health measures under this clause.

(j)      The contractor shall maintain a safety and health plan per AFSPCMAN
91-710 requirements and continually update the  safety
and health plan for changes to safety requirements, new or modified hardware
(both flight and GSE), or when deemed necessary by NASA.  In particular, the
Contractor shall furnish a list of all hazardous operations to be performed,
and a list of other major or key operations required or planned in the
performance of the contract, even though not deemed hazardous by the
Contractor. NASA and the Contractor shall jointly decide which operations are
to be considered hazardous, with NASA as the final authority.  Before hazardous operations commence, the
Contractor shall submit for NASA concurrence the following deliverables:

(1)     Written hazardous operating procedures for all hazardous operations;

(2)     Qualification standards for personnel involved in hazardous operations

(3)     Written hazard reports or Failure Mode Analysis..

(k)    Mission specific tailoring of safety requirements shall be performed
for each mission to reflect mandatory NASA safety requirements and
mission-specific safety requirements that will vary for the NASA
payload/organizations occupying the Contractor’s facility.  This mission specific tailoring shall reflect
current safety policy, and criteria applicable to ground support equipment
(GSE) and to ground operations processing at the facility.  The Contractor will support tailoring, in accordance
with NASA STD 8719.8, Expendable Launch Vehicle Payload Safety Review Process
Standard.  Tailoring will be conducted to
accomplish the following:

1.     NASA specified safety requirement(s) (e.g.,
NASA Standards, KSC Regulations, or Air Force Safety requirements) shall be
tailored to identify applicable requirements, document and substantiate
alternate methods/process that achieve an equivalent level of safety, and
identify potential areas of non-compliance for resolution.  Tailoring shall include assessments of NASA
Payload Safety organizations program requirements to supplement NASA Standards,
as needed, for inclusion in the tailored document. This includes Hazard Reports
and/or Failure Mode Analysis (single failure points) for GSE and Flight Hardware.

2.     Tailoring will reflect the requirements of
the Contractor, NASA Payload Safety Organization, NASA KSC LSP SMA, and the
Launch Service Contractor.  Tailoring
meetings will be supported by safety representatives from these organizations.

3.     The Final Mission Specific Tailoring shall be
completed 120 calendar days prior to Initial facility occupancy, and be
approved by the participating organizations and the Contractor.

 22
 

The Contractor, through the variance process
defined in the Mission Specific Tailoring, will document any non-compliance to
NASA Standards or higher-level requirements.

(End of clause)

ARTICLE H-4      GOVERNMENT INSIGHT AND APPROVAL

In
addition to the rights the Government has under the inspection clauses of this
contract, the Government shall have the right of insight and approval.  In order for the Government to ensure the
highest practical probability of mission success for each payload processed
through the Contractor’s facility, the Government must be provided an adequate
level of insight into and/or approval of certain Contractor products, tasks and
milestones.  The Contractor shall
maintain all documentation requiring insight or approval at the Contractor’s
facility.  This includes insight into
and/or approval of certain subcontractor tasks where some hands-on operations
are performed (e.g. payload transportation).

The
Government’s monitoring of payload processing facilities and services provided
by the private sector has two elements: approval and insight.  Government approval is defined as providing
authority to proceed and/or formal acceptance of requirements, plans, designs,
analyses, tests, or success criteria in specified areas.  Where Government approval is required, the
payload processing facility Contractor shall submit the necessary documentation
to the Government Contracting Officer and copies to the Government COTR.

Government
insight is defined as gaining understanding necessary to knowledgeably concur
with the Contractor’s action through watchful observation, inspection, or review
of program events, documents, meetings, tests, audits, hardware, etc., without
approval/disapproval authority.  Where
Government insight is required, the payload processing facility provider shall
notify the Government COTR at the processing site of meetings, reviews, or
tests in sufficient time to permit meaningful Government participation.

Should
approval or insight identify noncompliance with the terms and conditions of the
contract, a difference in interpretation of test results, or disagreement with
the Contractor technical directions, the Government will take appropriate
action under the terms of the contract to ensure contract compliance or resolve
differences with the Contractor.

NASA
shall have insight into and/or approval of Contractor initiated changes that
affect NASA missions, in accordance with SOW 3. 
This insight/approval shall be accommodated with no increase to the
contract price.

Specific
areas where the Government requires the right of approval and/or insight are
listed in the following paragraphs. 
Additional requirements applicable to new and modified payload
processing facilities and systems that have not been proven are defined in

processing operations.  This approval
requires that NASA receive insight into design reviews, analyses and test
results, and test procedures and operations, for the following systems:

1.   Cranes and other hardware handling equipment

2.   HVAC Systems

3.   Communication Systems

4.   UPS

5.   Safety Systems (fire
detection/suppression, toxic vapor monitoring, lightning protection, etc)

Notwithstanding
the insight and approvals set forth above, the Contractor assumes full payload
processing facility system performance responsibility as set forth in clause
H.8, Milestone Performance and Payment.

ARTICLE H-5      INVESTIGATIONS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

1.             In the event that the facility, facility
systems, and/or facility support equipment do not achieve performance
requirements or if any processing anomaly occurs, the Contractor shall
investigate this anomaly or failure at its expense.  The Contractor shall determine the scope of
the investigation and shall conduct and control the investigation.  The Government, at its option, may provide an
overview team to assess and approve the Contractor’s investigative and
corrective actions.  The Government’s
designated representatives may observe and participate in the investigation.

2.             The Contractor shall present to the
Government its findings resulting from the investigation and the proposed
corrective actions, if any.  The
Contractor has the burden of 

 25
 

proof
to show that the corrective action is sufficient.  The Contracting Officer may either accept or
reject any finding or corrective action. 
If the Contracting Officer accepts a finding and the related corrective
action, the costs of the corrective actions will be borne by the Contractor
including re-validation for NASA’s use. 
The Government may at its option and its expense conduct its own
investigation of the anomaly or failure. 
The Contractor shall cooperate with and fully support the Government’s
investigation.

3.             If the Government determines that additional
or corrective action other than that proposed by the Contractor is required, the
Contractor shall implement the Contracting Officer’s written direction to
perform the corrective action.  The costs
of implementing the Contracting Officer’s directed corrective action may be a
basis for an equitable adjustment.

ARTICLE H-6      LIABILITY

A.            Definitions

For purposes of this clause, the following definitions are applicable:

(1)    A “Party”
is a person or entity that signs this contract.

(2)    The term “related
entity” means:

(i)    a Contractor or subcontractor of a Party at
any tier;

(ii)   a user or Customer of a Party at any tier; or

(iii)  a Contractor or subcontractor of a user or Customer of a Party at any
tier.  “Contractors” and “subcontractors”
include suppliers of any kind.

(3)  The term “damage” means:

(i)
   bodily injury to, or other impairment of
health of, or death of, any person;

(ii)
  damage to, loss of, or loss of use of any
property;

(iii)
 loss of revenue or profits; or

(iv)  other direct,
indirect or consequential damage.

(4)   The term “launch vehicle” means an object (or
any part thereof) intended for launch, launched from Earth, or returning to
Earth which carries payloads or persons, or both.

(5)  The term “payload” means all property to be
flown or used on or in a launch vehicle.

(6)   The term “Protected Space Operations” means all launch vehicle and
payload activities on Earth, in outer space, or in transit between Earth and
outer space performed under this contract. 
It includes, but is not limited to:

(i)            research, design, development, test,
manufacture, assembly, integration, operation, or use of:  launch vehicles, transfer vehicles, payloads,
related support equipment and facilities and services;

 26
 

(ii)           all activities related to ground support, test, training, simulation,

result from the pressures, gasses, propellants, ordnance, fuels or radiation
sources (such as ionized or non-ionized) utilized on the specific payload.  Payload processing itself may involve
hazardous situations (e.g. fueling) as would potential accidents resulting in
burning, combustion, explosion or fuel leaks, (e.g. hydrazine) encountered
during the processing flow.

B.            Liability for Unusually Hazardous Risks -
Third Party

a.             Liability Scheme

(1)           The Contractor shall continue in effect or otherwise purchase $25
million insurance coverage protecting the Contractor and/or the Government from
third party claims for Unusually Hazardous Risks.  If existing insurance is not applicable, or
the amount is considered insufficient to cover the probable liability to third
parties, and NASA has decided not to indemnify the Contractor from third party
claims, then the Contractor shall obtain additional insurance to cover the
third party claims.  The cost for
obtaining such additional insurance shall be subject to an equitable
adjustment.  The Contractor shall consult
with and obtain the approval of the Contracting Officer before it modifies or
cancels any such insurance that would affect the protection provided to the
Contractor or the Government.

(2)           If the payload processing services required by this contract are
determined to be subject to Public Law 85-804 Indemnification for Unusually
Hazardous Risks, and the Contracting Officer so notifies the Contractor, the
Contractor may request approval for indemnification, if desired, in accordance
with the procedures set forth in b. below. 
Note that the Contractor must submit any requests for indemnification to
the Government at least six months before the Occupancy Date.  If the Contractor fails to provide a complete
and timely request for indemnification, then the Government shall be under no
obligation to approve the indemnification prior to occupancy.  In no event will the Contractor be excused
from proceeding with the occupancy as scheduled.

 27
 

b.             Procedures

before the occupancy of a payload (or before the first payload of a series of
payloads to be covered by insurance or indemnification) the Contractor shall
provide to the Contracting Officer:

(i)            a copy of the terms and conditions of any
existing policy and/or the proposed insurance policy which covers third party
liability and the premium cost to the Government for such proposed policy; and
if the services under this contract are determined to be subject to Public Law
85-804 and the Contractor has elected to seek such indemnification, then

(ii)           a request for indemnification which contains the information required
by Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 50.4 as supplemented by NASA
FAR Supplement (NFS) 1850.4.

(2)           The proposed insurance policy shall meet at a minimum the following
requirements:

(i)            The
insurance shall protect the Contractor, and, to the extent insurance may be
obtained without additional cost to the Government, it shall protect the
Government.

(ii)           The
Contractor shall propose an amount of insurance protection that is available in
the world market at reasonable premium cost.

(iii)          The policy shall provide that coverage will attach upon commencement of
initial facility occupancy date and shall remain in force through facility
departure date and may not be revised or canceled prior to the facility
departure date, unless the Contracting Officer agrees in writing to the
revision or cancellation.

(3)           Within 60 days after receiving the information described in paragraph
B.b.l of this Article, the Contracting Officer shall:

(i)            approve
the proposed insurance policy; or

(ii)           require
modifications to the policy and establish a date for submission of a revised
proposed policy; or

(iii)          determine that the proposed policy shall not be purchased by the
Contractor covering the Unusually Hazardous Risks of a particular mission.

 28
 

(4)           If the Government approves a proposed insurance policy, the Contractor
shall provide proof of the required insurance by:

(i)            certifying
to the Contracting Officer, in a writing signed by an authorized officer of the
Contractor, that it has obtained the approved insurance policy; and

(ii)           filing with the Contracting Officer a certificate of insurance showing
insurance coverage by the insurer of a currently effective and properly
endorsed policy which has been approved by the Contracting Officer.  The Contractor shall provide to the
Government a copy of the approved insurance policy as soon as it becomes
available.

c.             Applicable Indemnity Clause

The clause in FAR 52.250-1 entitled “Indemnification
Under Public Law 85-804 (April 1984)” shall be included by reference in Article
I-l of this contract, if the NASA Administrator determines that services under
this contract are subject to Public Law 85-804.

C.            Cross-waiver of Liability

a.             The objective of this Paragraph C is to
establish a cross-waiver of liability by the parties and related entities in
the interest of encouraging participation in the exploration, exploitation, and
use of outer space.  This cross-waiver of
liability shall be broadly construed to achieve this objective.

b.             (1)           Each
Party agrees to a cross-waiver of liability pursuant to which each Party waives
all claims against any of the entities or persons listed in such paragraphs
b(l)(i) through b(l)(iii) of this paragraph based on damage arising out of
Protected Space Operations.  This
cross-waiver shall apply only if the person, entity, or property causing the
damage is involved in Protected Space Operations and the person, entity, or
property damaged is damaged by virtue of its involvement in Protected Space
Operations.  The cross-waiver shall apply
to any claims for damage, whatever the legal basis for such claims, including
but not limited to delict and tort (including negligence of every degree and
kind) and contract, against:

(i)            another
Party;

(ii)           a
related entity of another Party;

(iii)          the employees of any of the entities identified in subparagraphs
b(l)(i) and b(l)(ii) of this paragraph.

 29
 

(2)           In addition, each Party shall extend the crosswaiver of liability as
set forth in paragraph b(l) of this paragraph to its own related entities by
requiring them, by contract or otherwise, to agree to waive all claims against
the entities or persons identified in paragraphs b(l)(i) through b(l)(iii) of
this paragraph.

(3)           For avoidance of doubt, this cross-waiver of liability includes a
cross-waiver of liability arising from the Convention on International
Liability for Damage by Space Objects (Mar 29, 1972, 24 United States Treaties
and Other International Agreements (U.S.T.) 2389, Treaties and other
International Acts Series (T.I.A.S.) No. 7762) where the person, entity, or
property causing the damage is involved in Protected Space Operations and the
person, entity, or property damage is damaged by virtue of its involvement in
Protected Space Operations.

(4)           Notwithstanding the other provisions of this paragraph C, this
cross-waiver of liability shall not be applicable to:

(i)            claims
between a Party and its own related entity or between its own related entities;

(ii)           claims
made by a natural person, his/her estate, survivors, or subrogees for injury or
death of such natural person;

(iii)          claims
for damage caused by willful misconduct;

(iv)          intellectual
property claims;

(v)           contract claims between the Parties based on the express contractual
provisions of this contract, except for this Cross-Waiver of Liability clause;

(5)           Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create the basis for a
claim or suit where none would otherwise exist.

D.            Limitation of Contractor and Customer
Liability

Notwithstanding the definition of the term “Damage”,
to the extent that a risk of Damage is not dealt with expressly in this
Contract, Contractor’s liability to customer, and Customer’s liability to
Contractor arising out of this Contract, whether or not arising as a result of
an alleged breach of this Contract, (i) shall be limited to direct damages only
and shall not include any loss of revenue, profits or other indirect or
consequential damages, and (ii) shall not exceed the total price paid to
Contractor by Customer for the Services to be provided for the particular
Payload under this Contract.

ARTICLE
H-7                      LICENSES AND PERMITS FOR A
PAYLOAD PROCESSING FACILITY/OPERATOR

The
Contractor shall assume all responsibility for obtaining the necessary
licenses, permits, site plans, and clearances, with the exception of
radioactive materials, that may be required by the Department of
Transportation, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, or other
Federal, State, or local governmental bodies or subdivisions thereof, or of any
other duly constituted public authority in performance of the work whether
performed by the Contractor or the Spacecraft User housed in the facility
unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer.  This includes obtaining a Technical
Assistance Agreement approved by the Department of State for working with
Foreign Spacecraft Users, if necessary. 
The Contractor shall obey and abide by all applicable laws, regulations
or ordinances in order to operate as a commercial payload processing Contractor
under this contract.  All applicable
costs and fees associated with obtaining licenses, permits, site plans, and
clearances are included in the CLIN prices.

ARTICLE H-8      MILESTONE PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT

A.            DEFINITION

For purposes of this clause,
the definition of “successful” means the Contracting Officer has determined
that the Contractor has fully met all of the assigned milestones and required
tasks in a timely manner, and met or exceeded the applicable requirements of
the PPTO.

B.            PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY

The Contracting Officer will determine the
performance price based upon evaluation of the Contractor’s performance at each
milestone.  This determination will be
based upon the success criteria defined in C of this Article and data input
from the Spacecraft User and the COTR.

C.            PROCEDURES

The Contracting Officer will authorize
payment based upon how well the Contractor completes five predefined
milestones.  Milestones one through four
will have fixed percentage payments of the Task Order price, and the
Contractors performance will be assessed, but the percentage will not be
changed (except as authorized by Article E-1, Article B-7, or Article
F-4).  The Contracting Officer may defer
payment at any milestone when the Contractor has failed to meet the
requirements of the milestone.  The
payment will only be deferred until that time when all requirements have been
met.  Milestone five will have a maximum
percentage payment, based upon the initial Task Order price, which may be
reduced based on the Contractor’s performance on 

 31
 

milestones one through five.  The total reduction for any single task order
will not exceed 10% of the Task Order price. The five milestones, associated
criteria, and percentages are defined as follows:

(1)           Payload Processing Task Order

The Government will send a Payload Processing
Task Order to the Contractor.  The
Contractor shall provide a Letter of Confirmation agreeing to the proposed
processing schedule not more than 15 calendar days after receipt of the Payload
Processing Task Order.  Upon receipt of
the Letter of Confirmation, the Contracting Officer will authorize payment of 5
percent of the Task Order price.

(2)           The Certificate of Facility Readiness (COFR)

The Contractor is responsible for submittal
of the COFR in sufficient time to obtain Government approval not later than 30
days prior to initial facility occupancy. 
The Government will provide approval/disapproval of each Contractor
submittal of the COFR within 10 working days. 
The approval will involve random inspection of system back-up
documentation used in the preparation of the COFR, and may include an
inspection or walkthrough of the facility, by the COTR or a designee.  As a minimum, the COFR shall:

(i)            Identify all systems by name

(ii)           Identify each system as critical/non-critical

(iii)          Provide a brief description of status and readiness of the facility and
each facility system

(iv)          Provide a copy of the certification for each system’s proofload,
calibration, compliance, or inspection

(v)           List supporting documentation for each system

(vi)          Provide a summary of facility modifications implemented since last NASA
usage

(vii)         Have an Open Items, Issues and Concerns Section with associated
correction plan and date

(viii)        Have an Exception, Waivers, and Deviation Section

(ix)           Safety Statement of Readiness

Upon
approval of the COFR, the Contracting Officer will authorize the payment of 30
percent of the Task Order price.

(3)           Offloading,
and transporting of GSE and payload into the PPF

The Contractor shall have
provided the necessary equipment and personnel and transported the payload and
GSE from the arrival point to the inside of the PPF without incident.  The Contractor shall comply with all DRL
requirements.  In 

 32
 

addition, all facility
services and systems shall be in place and ready to support Spacecraft User
activities.  This shall include but not
be limited to:

(i)            Proof that operational systems
(communications, television, RF, etc.) are validated and ready to support

(ii)           Proof the administrative systems (desks, telephones, LAN, Fax machines,
copiers, etc.) are ready for use

(iii)          Proof the facility systems (power, gases, compressed air) are in place
to support the payload and associated GSE

(iv)          Proof that cleanroom specifications have been maintained

Upon completion of this activity, the
Contracting Officer will authorize payment of 15 percent of the Task Order
price.

(4)           Payload processing period

The Contractor shall demonstrate that all
facility systems have met the Government’s minimum requirements as defined in
the SOW, all necessary support services and materials have been provided in a
timely manner, and any facility system failures or deficiencies have been
corrected without causing delay to the processing schedule or impact to flight
hardware.  When the payload departs the
facility, the Contracting Officer will authorize payment of 30 percent of the
Task Order price.

(5)           Facility departure

The Contractor shall have demonstrated that
all facility systems have met the Government’s minimum requirements as defined
in the SOW, all necessary support services and materials required at the PPF
have been provided in a timely manner during the pad processing and launch
periods, and any facility system failures or deficiencies have been corrected
without causing delay to the processing or launch schedule.  The Contractor shall have provided the
necessary equipment and personnel to load and transport the GSE and payload (if
required) from the PPF to the departure point without incident.  When all Spacecraft User hardware has
departed the facility, the Contracting Officer will authorize payment of up to
(or percentage thereof) 20 percent of the initial Task Order price, as defined
by the table in Section D, and any increase/decrease due to contract
modification.

D.             PERFORMANCE PRICE

In
the event the Contracting Officer determines that the Contractor has had less
than successful performance ratings on any of the five milestones, the
Contracting Officer may reduce payment of milestone five based on the following
schedule:

 33
 

 

	
  Milestone Number

  	
   

  	
  Reduction of Initial Task Order price

  
	
  1

  	
   

  	
  Up to 1 percent of Initial Task Order price

  
	
  2

  	
   

  	
  Up to 5 percent of Initial Task Order price

  
	
  3

  	
   

  	
  Up to 3 percent of Initial Task Order price

  
	
  4

  	
   

  	
  Up to 6 percent of Initial Task Order price

  
	
  5

  	
   

  	
  Up to 5 percent of Initial Task Order price

  

 

The
total reduction for any single task order will not exceed 10% of the Task Order
price.

E.             DETERMINATION OF MILESTONE PAYMENT

The Contracting Officer’s
determination under this clause is subject to the “Disputes” clause of this
contract.

ARTICLE H-9                      SUBCONTRACT REPORTING FOR SMALL,
SMALL DISADVANTAGED AND WOMEN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS CONCERNS

The amounts and percentages
contained in the subcontracting reports required by FAR 52.219-9 and NFS
1852.219-75 shall be cumulative during performance of the contract.  However, reporting shall only be required
when task orders are active under this contract.

ARTICLE H-10                    FACILITY UPGRADES AND
MODIFICATIONS

Any
facility upgrades or modifications, permanent or semi-permanent, that are paid
for by NASA under this contract to enhance the contractor’s capability to meet
the payload processing requirements of a particular mission will become the
property of the contractor, and the contractor agrees to make the enhanced
capability resulting from such upgrades and modifications available to NASA for
the duration of the contract at no additional cost to the Government.

(1)
The Comptroller General of the United States, or an authorized representative

the Contractor’s directly pertinent records involving transactions related to
this contract.

The Contractor shall make available at its offices at all reasonable times the
