INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE - All items are subject to final inspection and acceptance by AUTHORITY at destination notwithstanding any payment, passage of title, or prior inspection or test at SELLERS facilities. Final inspection will be made within a reasonable time after receipt of items hereunder. SELLER shall notify AUTHORITY of any known nonconforming product that is expected to be delivered or has been delivered. AUTHORITY shall have authority to approve or refuse identified nonconforming product. Defective goods may be returned at SELLERs expense.

2. CHANGES - By written notice or order, AUTHORITY may, from time to time, order work suspension and/or make changes in quantities, drawings, designs, specifications, place of delivery or delivery schedules, methods of shipment and packaging, and property and services furnished by SELLER. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the price of this agreement or in the time required for its performance, SELLER or AUTHORITY shall promptly notify the other party thereof and assert its claim for adjustment within thirty (30) days after the change is ordered, and an equitable adjustment shall be made. However, nothing herein shall excuse SELLER from proceeding immediately with the agreement as changed.

3. DEFAULT AND EXCESS REPROCUREMENT LIABILITY - AUTHORITY may terminate this agreement if a federal or state proceeding for the relief of debtors is undertaken by or against SELLER, or if SELLER makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if SELLER fails after reasonable notice by AUTHORITY to cure a deficiency in performance or lack of progress thereto. AUTHORITY shall have such additional remedies as may be available whether or not it so terminates this agreement, including, but not limited to, payment by SELLER to AUTHORITY of expenses incurred by AUTHORITY in reprocuring elsewhere the same or similar items or services defaulted by SELLER hereunder, provided SELLERs reprocurement expenses obligation shall be limited to the excess costs above the price specified herein for such items or services.

4. INDEMNIFICATION - SELLER shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AUTHORITY from and against any and all claims (including attorneys fees and reasonable expenses for litigation or settlement) for any loss, damage, claim, or harm for bodily injuries, including death or damage to property caused by SELLER or its employees, subcontractors, or suppliers in connection with the performance of this agreement.

5. ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACTS - Neither this agreement nor any interest herein nor claim hereunder may be assigned by SELLER, either voluntarily or by operation of law, nor may all or substantially all of the agreement be subcontracted by SELLER without AUTHORITYs prior written consent. AUTHORITYs withholding of consent shall not be deemed to relieve SELLER of its obligations to comply fully with the requirements hereof.

Passing of title upon such delivery shall not constitute acceptance of the item by AUTHORITY.

9. NOTICE OF LABOR DISPUTE - Whenever SELLER has knowledge that any actual or potential labor dispute may delay this agreement, SELLER shall immediately notify and submit all relevant information to AUTHORITY. SELLER shall insert the substance of this entire clause in any subcontract hereunder as to which a labor dispute may delay this agreement.

1 o. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY - In connection with the execution of this agreement, the SELLER shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant because of race, religion, color, sex or national origin. The SELLER shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment without regard to their race, religion, color, sex or national origin. Such actions shall include pay, or other forms of compensation and selection for training, including apprenticeship.

11. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE - AUTHORITY may terminate this agreement for its convenience at any time, in whole or in part, by giving written notice to SELLER of such termination, effective on the date of such notice. Upon receipt of said notice, SELLER shall immediately take action not to incur any further obligations, costs, or expenses, except as may be reasonably necessary to terminate its activities. AUTHORITY shall pay SELLER its allowable costs incurred to date of termination and those costs determined by AUTHORITY to be reasonably necessary to effect such termination.
