For purposes of this Agree-ment, the Federal common law of government contracts will consist of the interpretation of contract clauses and the law enunciated and applied to government contracts by the Boards of Contract Appeals, the Comptroller Gen-eral (CG), and the Federal Courts having jurisdiction over the Boards or the CG. The term “Boards of Contract Ap-peals” means those established under the Contract Dis-putes Act of 1978, 41 U.S.C. 607(a)(1), and their succes-sor bodies. Patent related disputes arising under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the provi-sions of the Patent Rights clause of this Agreement, as well as applicable federal law and regulation.

(c) Pending settlement or final judgment with regard to the dispute, the Subcontractor shall proceed diligently with the performance hereof in accordance with Princeton’s direction and instructions.

1.5 INDEMNITY (MAY 2002)

(a) The Subcontractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustees of Princeton University and the United States Government, and their respective officers, employees and agents (the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, arising out of or in any way connected with the Subcon-tractor’s performance under this Agreement, excepting only (i) liability arising from affirmative acts, done with intent to cause loss, damage or injury, by the Indemnitees;

(ii) liability arising from the sole negligence of the Indemnitees; or (iii) any express liability as may be speci-fied elsewhere in this Agreement.

Princeton shall have the right, in its discretion and without expense to the Subcontractor, to provide counsel to participate with the Subcontractor’s counsel in the conduct of the defense. The Subcontractor may, at the Subcontractor’s own expense; negotiate a settlement of any such claim and/or litigation. The Sub-

PPL-PD-CTC; Rev. 18; 02-2011 Page 2 of 6 contractor shall pay, at the Subcontractor’s own expense, any and all judgments arising out of or resulting from any such claims or litigation.

1.6 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE (MAY 2002)

Princeton reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, or any part hereof, for the convenience of itself or the Gov-ernment. In the event of such termination, the Subcontrac-tor shall immediately stop all work terminated and shall immediately cause any and all of its affected suppliers and sub-subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Subcontractor shall be paid a percent-age of the price reflecting the percentage of work per-formed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges that the Subcontractor, using its standard record keeping system, and to the satisfaction of Princeton, can demonstrate have resulted from the termination. The Sub-contractor shall not be required to comply with cost ac-counting standards or contract cost principles for this pur-pose. This clause does not give Princeton or the Govern-ment the right to audit the Subcontractor’s records. The Subcontractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred, which reasonably could have been avoided.

1.7 TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT (MAY 2002)

(a) Princeton may terminate this Agreement for default, in whole or in part, if the Subcontractor fails to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, or fails to provide ade-quate assurance of future performance. In that event, Princeton shall not be liable for any amount for items not accepted and the Subcontractor shall be liable to Princeton for any and all rights and remedies provided by law or this Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated for default, Princeton may require the Subcontractor to deliver to Princeton all supplies and materials, manufacturing materials, and man-ufacturing drawings that the Subcontractor has specifically produced or acquired for the terminated portion of this Agreement. Princeton shall pay the agreed- upon price for completed items delivered and accepted. Princeton and the Subcontractor shall agree on the amount of payment for all other deliverables. Failure to agree will be a dispute under the Resolution of Disputes clause.

(c) The Subcontractor shall not be liable to Princeton for delays in performance occasioned by causes beyond the Subcontractor’s reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, including but not limited to acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of the government in its sovereign ca-pacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of the Sub-contractor’s suppliers at any tier. However, delays of the Subcontractor’s suppliers at any tier must be proved to be beyond the control of both the Subcontractor and its sup-pliers and without fault or negligence of either.

(d) The rights and remedies of Princeton in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Agreement.

1.8 INSPECTION (MAY 2002)

Princeton has the right to inspect and evaluate the work performed or being performed under the Agreement, and the premises where work is being performed, at all reason-able times and in a manner that will not unduly delay the work.

PPL-PD-CTC; Rev. 18; 02-2011 Page 3 of 6 loss shall entitle the Subcontractor to an equitable exten-sion in delivery schedule obligations.

1.15 PAYMENT (MAY 2002)

Unless otherwise provided, terms of payment shall be net 30 days from the latter of (1) receipt of the Subcontractor’s proper invoice, if required, or (2) delivery of items/completion of work. Any offered discount shall be taken if payment is made within the discount period that the Subcontractor indicates. Payments shall be made either by check or electronic funds transfer, at the option of Prince-ton. Payment shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of mailing or the date on which an electronic funds transfer was made.

1.16 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS (MAY 2002)

The Subcontractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and ordinances and all pertinent lawful orders, rules and regulations, and such compliance shall be a material requirement of this Agreement.

If any nonconformity with item appears within the warranty period, the Subcontractor shall promptly repair or replace such items or re-perform services at its own expense. Transpor-tation of replacement items and return of nonconforming items and repeat performance of services shall be at the Subcontractor’s expense. If repair or replacement or re-performance of services is not timely, Princeton may elect to return the nonconforming items or repair or replace them or re-procure the services at the Subcontractor’s expense.

1.19 SUSPECT/COUNTERFEIT PARTS (FEB 2011)

(a) “Suspect/counterfeit parts” are parts that may be of new manufacture, but labeled to represent a different class of parts, or used and/or refurbished parts, complete with false labeling, that are represented as new parts. These parts could include any item where a marking indicates a higher value item. Three of the most common categories of suspect/counterfeit parts are:

(1) Hardened fasteners, including bolts and nuts, made of carbon steel or stainless steel.;

(2) Piping valves and flanges bearing labels that falsely indicate that the items meet nationally recog-nized consensus standards, such as ASME, ANSI or ASTM; and

(c) If suspect/counterfeit parts are furnished under this Agreement and are found on the PPPL site, such parts shall be impounded by Princeton or the Subcontractor as shall remove them directed by Princeton. The Subcon-tractor shall promptly replace such parts with supplies acceptable to Princeton, and the Subcontractor shall be liable for all costs relating to impoundment, removal and replacement.

PPL-PD-CTC; Rev. 18; 02-2011 Page 4 of 6 subcontractor with (i) specifications or written provisions forming a part of this Agreement or (ii) specific written instructions given by Princeton’s Subcontract Administrator directing the manner of performance. The entire liability to the Government for infringement of a patent of the United States shall be determined solely by the provisions of the indemnity clause, if any, included in this Agreement or any subcontract hereunder (including any lower-tier subcontract), and the Government assumes liability for all other infringement to the extent of the authorization and consent herein above granted.

(b) The Subcontractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (b), in all lower-tier Agreements that are expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

(b) The term "Printing" includes the following processes:

Composition, plate making, presswork, binding, microform publishing, or the end items produced by such processes.

Provided, however, that performance of a requirement under this contract involving the duplication of less than 5,000 copies of a single page, or no more than 25,000 units in the aggregate of multiple pages, will not be deemed to be printing.

(c) Printing services not obtained in compliance with this guidance shall result in the cost of such printing being dis-allowed.

Except as agreed upon by Princeton and the Subcontractor, all financial and cost reports, books of account and supporting documents, system files, data bases, and other data evidencing costs allowable, collections accruing to the Subcontractor in connection with the work under this subcontract, other applicable credits, and fee accruals under this subcon-tract, shall be the property of the Government, and shall be delivered to Princeton or otherwise disposed of by the Subcontractor either as Princeton may from time to time direct during the progress of the work or, in any event, as Princeton shall direct upon completion or termination of this subcontract and final audit of accounts hereunder.
