In the event the parties have determined the Scope of Services requires the acquisition of capital equipment necessary for the business functions of the University and have further determined to amortize the cost of such equipment over several years, the University shall reimburse ADHS for such unamortized amounts upon a determination by the University not to renew the agreement.

5. Scope of Services

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), Arizona Biomedical Research Centre (ABRC) is an educational partner for the Arizona Researchers. The ABRC Educational Program brings high quality educational and training resources to local researchers to support them in becoming successful and nationally recognized researchers.

6. Payment for Services

As payment for full and satisfactory performance of the services, the ADHS agrees to pay the University as outlined in the Price Sheet attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The Master Blank Purchase Order (Agreement) will be entered into the State of Arizona e-procurement system, APP, by ADHS. The Price Sheet will be entered into the Items Tab for the creation of Purchase Order Releases.

7. Non-Availability of Funds

7.1 Every payment and service obligation is conditioned upon the availability of funds appropriated or allocated for the payment or support of such obligation. If funds are not allocated and available for the continuance of this Agreement, either ADHS or the University may terminate at the end of the period for which funds are available.

7.2 No liability shall accrue to ADHS or the University, in the event this provision is exercised, and ADHS and the

University shall not be obligated or liable for any damages as a result of termination under this paragraph.

8. Property of the State

8.1. Equipment. Except as provided below or otherwise agreed to by the parties, the title to any and all equipment acquired through the expenditure of funds received from the State shall remain the property of the State by and through the ADHS and, as such, shall remain under the sole direction, management and control of the ADHS. When this Agreement is terminated, the disposition of all such property shall be determined by the ADHS. For Fixed Price agreements, when the University provides the services/materials required by the Agreement, any and all equipment purchased by the University remains the property of the University. All purchases of equipment need to be reported to the ADHS Office of Inventory Control.

8.2. Title and Rights to Materials. It is the intention of ADHS and University that all material and intellectual property developed under this Agreement be used and controlled in ways to produce the greatest benefit to the parties to this Agreement and the citizens of the State of Arizona. As used in this paragraph, “Material” means all written and electronic information, recordings, reports, findings, research information, abstracts, results, software, data, discoveries, inventions, procedures and processes of services developed by the University and any other materials created, prepared or received by the University and subcontractors in performance of this Agreement. “Material” as used herein shall not include any pre-existing data, information, materials, discoveries, inventions or any form of intellectual property invented, created, developed or devised by University (or its employees, subcontractors or agents) prior to the commencement of the services funded by this Agreement or that may result from University’s involvement in other service activities that are not funded by the Agreement.

8.3. Title and exclusive copyright to all Material shall vest in the State of Arizona, subject to any rights reserved on behalf of the federal government. As State agencies and instrumentalities, both ADHS and University shall have full, complete, perpetual, irrevocable and non-transferable rights to reproduce, duplicate, adapt, make derivative works, distribute, display, disclose, publish and otherwise use any and all Material. The University’s right to use Material shall include the following rights: the right to use the Material in connection with its internal, non-profit research and educational activities, the right to present at academic or professional meetings or symposia and the right to publish in journals, theses, dissertations or otherwise of University’s own choosing. University agrees to provide ADHS with a right of review prior to any publication or public presentation of the Material, and ADHS shall be entitled to request the removal of its confidential information or any other content the disclosure of which would be contrary to the best interest of the State of Arizona. Neither party shall release confidential information to the public without the prior expressly written permission of the other, unless required by the State public records statutes or other law, including a court order. Each party agrees to give recognition to the other party in all public presentations or publications of any Material, when releasing or publishing them.

8.4. In addition, ADHS and University agree that any and all Material shall be made freely available to the public to the extent it is in the best interest of the State. However, if either party wants to license or assign an intellectual property interest in the material to a third-party for monetary compensation, ADHS and University agree to convene to determine the relevant issues of title, copyright, patent and distribution of revenue. In the event of a controversy as to whether the Material is being used for monetary compensation or in a way that interferes with the best interest of the state or ADHS, then the Arizona Department of Administration shall make the final decision. Notwithstanding the above, “monetary compensation’ does not include compensation paid to an individual creator for traditional publications in academia (the copyrights to which are Employee-Excluded Works under ABOR Intellectual Property Policy Section 6-908C.4.), an honorarium or other reimbursement of expenses for an academic or professional presentation, or an unprofitable distribution of Material.
