A.3 Indefinite Quantity Contract - Minimum and Maximum Amount The minimum guaranteed quantity for this contract is one (1) CAT Prototype Unit (CLIN 0001).

There is no separate minimum or maximum quantity requirement on all other supplies or services ordered hereunder for all other contract line items (CLIN). The maximum amount for all orders placed under this contract is $85,000,000.

A.4 Contract Pricing The CLINs in accordance with the CLIN Numbering Structure in Paragraph A.4.1 of this Section shall be used for development of invoices in accordance with B.3.4.5, Submission of Invoices - Commercial, of Part B, Contract Clauses.

However, the pricing for CLINs 0003, and 0003A depend upon the number of systems ordered under a given Delivery Order. The Contractor shall complete the table below with pricing for each quantity identified. The same price applies to all systems and batteries under a given Delivery Order and all systems within the respective quantity tier. Stepladder pricing does not guarantee ordering quantities. These prices are as follows:

A.4.5 RMA Disincentives (Applicable to CLINs 0003 and 0003A) The Reliability, Maintainability and Availability (RMA) performance of CAT systems is critical to TSA. Therefore, and in accordance with FAR 16.402-2, a negative performance incentive will be imposed to ensure that the Contractor meets the RMA requirements, TSA will adjust the final value of the CAT Unit CLINs (CLIN 0003 and 0003A) based on the information described in the table below. TSA will calculate the actual CAT average RMA data for systems in operation procured in a given Delivery Order, every month after the said Delivery Order is placed. The final adjusted CLIN value shall be affected via a contract modification executed unilaterally at the end of an established withholding period. This withholding period will be determined by Delivery Order.

(1) The entity completes the direct or indirect acquisition of substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a domestic corporation or substantially all of the properties constituting a trade or business of a domestic partnership;

(2) After the acquisition at least 80 percent of the stock (by vote or value) of the entity is held—

(3) The expanded affiliated group which after the acquisition includes the entity does not have substantial business activities in the foreign country in which or under the law of which the entity is created or organized when compared to the total business activities of such expanded affiliated group.

(c) Special rules. The following definitions and special rules shall apply when determining whether a foreign incorporated entity should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation.

(ii) Stock of such entity which is sold in a public offering related to an acquisition described in section 835(b)(1) of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 395(b)(1).

(2) Plan deemed in certain cases.

(3) Certain transfers disregarded. The transfer of properties or liabilities (including by contribution or distribution) shall be disregarded if such transfers are part of a plan a principal purpose of which is to avoid the purposes of this section.

(ii) options;

(iii) contracts to acquire stock;

(iv) convertible debt instruments; and

(v) others similar interests.
