Employee unsatisfactory to Boeing will be assigned to
perform any of the Work. From time-to-time, Boeing may
request and Supplier shall provide resumes, references,
or other information reflecting the qualifications of
any Employee, either before or after he or she is
assigned to perform Work.

unsatisfactory to
Boeing, Supplier or its Subcontractor, as the case may
be, shall provide a qualified replacement satisfactory
to Boeing in a timely fashion. If, despite its best
efforts to do so, Supplier or its Subcontractor is
unable to provide a satisfactory replacement, Boeing
may cancel the Purchase Contract(s) involved, in whole

liability to Supplier, but only to the extent affected
by the loss of Work which would have been performed by
the unsatisfactory Employee.
c. Supplier's Responsibilities. All Employees shall at
all times be
and remain employees of Supplier or its Subcontractors,
not employees of Boeing. Supplier shall pay its
Employees, and shall ensure that each of its
Subcontractors pays its Employees, all wages, salaries,

6. WORK PRODUCT
The Work to be performed under this Agreement shall be Boeing
funded development for enhancements of Suppliers existing
Commercial-Off-TheShelf (COTS) Licensed Software, thereby
creating a new Version Release of Suppliers COTS Licensed
Software which Supplier has the right to market without
restriction from Boeing.
Supplier shall have the right, at it's sole discretion, to
further enhance or change the methods incorporated into the
Work Product, modify existing features in the COTS Licensed
Software, or add additional features to the COTS Licensed
Software after final delivery to Boeing provided, Supplier
insures backward compatibility with the Work Product will be
maintained in any future COTS release of the Licensed
Software, so long as Boeing is participating in the associated
maintenance/support program defined in the Boeing/TMSSequoia
Software License Agreement.
Boeing may, at its discretion, adopt any new enhancements or
use any new methods provided in the future versions of the
COTS Licensed Software and relieve Supplier of some or all of
the backward compatibility requirements. Such relief must be
provided by Boeing in writing per Clause 22 Notices of this
Agreement.
The specific "mime type" Work Product created by Supplier, is
unique for Boeing. Although Boeing will not own this unique
"mime type" software code, Supplier shall maintain the
required Boeing "mime type" Work Product in all future
versions of the Suppliers COTS Licensed Software and will
insure backward compatibility.
a. License to Use/Ownership of Copy. The Work Product is
and will be
the sole and exclusive property of Supplier; along with,
all patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and know-how
subsisting in the Work Product. Supplier hereby grants
and shall grant to Boeing a perpetual, irrevocable,
worldwide, nonexclusive license under all such patents,
copyrights, trade secrets, and know-how provided Boeing
has tendered the applicable license fee to:) use the Work
Product on any computing equipment;
2) change the form of any Documentation
3) incorporate the Work Product into aerospace
products and
services for delivery to Boeing customers, and
sublicense Boeing customers to use the Work Product
in conjunction with such products and services; and
7
4) sublicense agents, contractors, and subcontractors
to exercise
rights 1) through 4) of this paragraph in
connection with work they may do for the benefit of
Boeing

distribute the Work Product only as part of
Suppliers COTS Software License and only as granted
in The Boeing Company/TMSSequoia Corporate Software
Licenses Agreement.
b. Knowledge, Skill, and Experience. Supplier retains the
right to use
the knowledge, skill, and experience gained by Supplier
in the course of performing the Work.
c. Boeing Proprietary Information. Supplier shall preserve
all Boeing
Proprietary Information (as hereinafter defined in the
clause entitled "Proprietary Information") included in

duplicate, or disclose any Boeing Proprietary Information
for any purpose other than the performance of the Work or
any other contract with Boeing, without the prior express
written permission of Boeing.
7. PRICES AND PAYMENT
a. Price. Any price specified in the Purchase Contract for the purchase
of Goods is a firm, fixed price.
b. Payment. Supplier shall issue a separate invoice for each delivery.
The invoice, however, shall not be issued before performance.
Payment will be mailed thirty (30) days after receipt of a correct
invoice. If the Goods have not been accepted by the close of this
period, however, payment will be made promptly after acceptance of the
Goods. For purposes of prompt payment discounts, if any, the payment
due date will be computed from acceptance or receipt of a correct
invoice, whichever is later, to the date Boeing's check is mailed or
otherwise tendered. Supplier will prominently display notice of any
applicable prompt payment discounts on the invoice. Unless taxes or
other applicable charges are itemized, any discount may be taken on
the full amount of the invoice.
c. Travel Reimbursement
(1) Reimbursement for Expenses. Provided and to the extent
Supplier is required to perform all or any portion of the Work
outside of Supplier's local area, and provided that the
Purchase Contract expressly authorizes per diem payments,
Boeing shall reimburse Supplier for all necessary travel
expenses associated with such Work as set forth below.
(2) Payment. Reimbursable travel expenses shall be invoiced and
paid in accordance with this clause. Per diem and all
reasonable and necessary travel-related expenses shall be shown

expenses in excess of $25.00 for which reimbursement is
requested must be supported by and submitted with
original receipts or clear, readable copies of receipts.
Travel itineraries are not acceptable receipts for
airfare.
(b) Travel Expense Reports. All travel expenses for which
Supplier requests reimbursement shall be summarized on a

on the day of departure from, and return to, the
permanent location of Supplier's employee. The
permanent location is the home office of the employee,
or the place of assignment of the employee when
transferred to that location. The calendar day
(midnight to midnight) is the unit used for computing
per diem, based on four consecutive sixhour periods or
fractions thereof, as follows:

authorized travel. In addition, in the event of use of a
personally-owned vehicle, Boeing shall pay Supplier for
airport parking fees incurred by Supplier's employees
while on such travel.
(e) Rental Cars. Boeing shall pay Supplier for costs
associated with renting a car during the period the Work is
being performed. Supplier's employees supporting Boeing
contracts are entitled to use Boeing's corporate rental car
rates; reimbursable costs shall thus be limited to the
Boeing corporate rate for compact cars, or the actual
rental amount paid for the car, whichever is lower. Rental
insurance expenses will not be reimbursed.
(f) Multiple Customer. In the event Supplier is performing
work for multiple customers at the travel site, Supplier
shall pro-rate travel-related expenses between Boeing and
such other customers in accordance with the hours worked
for each, and Boeing shall only reimburse Supplier for its

right to reduce payment for unsupported costs, and for
questionable costs associated with prior ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that
have been paid but are subsequently determined to be
unallowable.

requirements and descriptions, specifications, statements of work,
drawings, or designs; (ii) shipment or packing methods; (iii) place of
delivery, inspection, or acceptance; (iv) reasonable adjustments in
quantities or delivery schedules or both; and (v) amount of any Boeing
furnished property. Supplier shall comply immediately with such
direction and avoid unnecessary costs related thereto.
b. Price and Schedule Adjustments. If any change under the paragraph
entitled "Directed Changes" of this clause causes an increase or

decrease, and the Purchase Contract shall be modified in writing
accordingly. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any claims by

Supplier's claim for adjustment. Failure of Boeing and Supplier to
agree upon any adjustment shall not excuse Supplier from performing in
accordance with such direction.
c. Other Changes. If Supplier determines that the conduct of any of
Boeing's employees constitutes a change under this clause, Supplier
shall notify Boeing immediately in writing as to the nature of such
conduct and its effect upon Supplier's performance. Pending direction
from the Authorized Boeing Representative, Supplier shall take no
action to implement any such change or deviation.
d. Binding Effect. No change to any Purchase Contract will be effective
or binding upon Boeing unless authorized in writing by the Authorized
Boeing Representative.

1999, and shall process those dates correctly.
d. Conformance to Requirements. The Work Product shall conform in all
respects to the Documentation and to all of the requirements of this
Agreement.
e. Legal Sufficiency. Supplier and each of its Subcontractors have
taken all necessary steps, including, without limitation, obtaining

11. GENERAL PERFORMANCE
Supplier represents and warrants that Supplier has the legal right to enter
into, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement.
12. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
a. Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, Supplier shall keep
confidential and otherwise protect from disclosure all information and
property obtained from Boeing in connection with this Agreement and
identified as confidential or proprietary ("Boeing Proprietary
Information"). Unless otherwise expressly authorized herein or by
Boeing, Supplier shall use Boeing proprietary Information only in the
performance and for the purpose of this Agreement.
b. Disclosure and Use. For a period of three (3) years after receipt,
the receiving party shall preserve Proprietary Information received
from the originating party in confidence, and shall refrain from
disclosing such Proprietary Information to any third party without
written authorization from the originating party. During the term of
the Project, the receiving party shall use Proprietary Information
received from the originating party solely in connection with the
Project. The disclosure and use obligations set forth above shall be
considered satisfied by the receiving party through the exercise of
the degree of care, but in no event less than reasonable care, used to
restrict disclosure and use of its own information of like kind and
importance.
12
c. Exception. This Agreement shall not restrict disclosure or use of
Proprietary Information that is:
1) Known to the receiving party without restriction when received,
or thereafter is developed independently by the receiving party,
without reference to Proprietary Information of the originating
party; or
2) Obtained from a source other than the originating party through
no breach of confidence by the receiving party; or
3) In the public domain when received, or thereafter enters the
public domain through no fault of the receiving party; or
4) Disclosed by the originating party to a third party without
restriction; or
5) Required by applicable law or regulation, provided the receiving
party notifies the originating party of the requirement promptly,
and cooperates with the originating party (at the request and
expense of the originating party) in contesting the requirement.
d. No Other Rights Granted. Proprietary Information shall remain
the property of the originating party. Except for the rights
expressly granted under this Agreement, neither this Agreement
nor the disclosure of Proprietary Information hereunder shall
be construed as granting any right or license under any trade
secrets, copyrights, inventions, or patents now or hereafter
owned or controlled by either party. This Agreement does not
grant any right or license, or impose any restriction on use or
disclosure with respect to information, other than Proprietary
Information, disclosed or received by either party in connection
with the Project.
e. Wind-up Activities. Upon termination of the Project and unless
instructed to do otherwise by the originating party, the
receiving party shall cease use of and destroy all of the
Proprietary Information, if any, received from the originating
party. The originating party may request, and the receiving
party shall provide, written certification of the destruction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may retain one copy of
each and every permanent record of the Proprietary Information
disclosed to it under this Agreement solely as a record of the
disclosure.
13
f. Transfer of Employees. Supplier acknowledges that Boeing is or
may be using third party programs, documentation, computing
equipment, and other products which provide functionality and
capabilities similar to those provided by the Goods. Likewise,
Boeing acknowledges that Supplier is developing, or may desire
to develop, new and improved products which address the needs and
requirements of customers similar to Boeing. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this clause or this Agreement, therefore, so
long as each party does not knowingly disclose Proprietary
Information received from the other party, each party may
transfer and allow those employees who have had
access to and reviewed the other party's Proprietary Information under this
Agreement to use the ideas, concepts, and know how gained from such access in
other assignments.
13. INFRINGEMENT
Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Boeing and its
subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, and
agents from and against all actions, causes of action, liabilities, claims,
suits, judgments, liens, awards, and damages of any kind and nature
whatsoever (hereinafter referred to as "Claims") and expenses, costs of
litigation (including without limitation clerk, paralegal, and expert
witness costs), and reasonable attorneys' fees related thereto, or incident
to establishing the right to indemnification, whether or not specifically
awardable under any court rules, to the extent such Claims arise out of the
infringement of any patent or copyright by the Goods, or involve the
wrongful use of any trade secret or confidential information. Boeing shall
give Supplier notice of all Claims made against Boeing, give Supplier an
opportunity to defend or settle such Claims, and cooperate with Supplier
(at Supplier's expense) in the defense or settlement. In no event shall
Supplier's obligations hereunder be limited to the extent of any insurance
available to or provided by Supplier or any Subcontractor.
14. PREMISES INDEMNIFICATION
a. Supplier's Indemnity. Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless Boeing, its subsidiaries and their respective directors,
officers, employees, and agents (hereinafter referred to as
"Indemnitees") from and against all actions, causes of action,
liabilities, claims, suits, judgments, liens, awards, and damages,
of any kind and nature whatsoever (hereinafter referred to as
"Premises Claims"), for property damage, bodily injury, or death
(including, without limitation, Premises Claims brought by employees
of Supplier or any Subcontractor) and expenses, costs of litigation
(including without limitation clerk, paralegal, and expert witness
costs), and reasonable attorneys' fees related thereto, or incident
to the right to indemnification, whether or not specifically
awardable under any court rules, arising out of or any way related
to the performance of the contract by Supplier or any Subcontractor,
or their respective employees including, without limitation, the
provision of services, personnel, facilities, equipment, support,
supervision, or review, to the extent such claims arise from any
negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of Supplier, any
Subcontractor, or their respective employees. Supplier expressly
waives any immunity under industrial insurance, whether arising from
Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington or any other statute or
source, to the extent of the indemnity set forth in this paragraph.
In no event shall Supplier's obligations hereunder be limited to the
extent of any insurance available to or provided by Supplier or any
Subcontractor.
14
b. Subcontractor Indemnification. Supplier shall require each
Subcontractor to provide an indemnity, enforceable by and for the
benefit of, the Indemnitees, to the same extent required of Supplier.
15. INSURANCE
a. Commercial General Liability. Throughout the period of performance
of this Agreement and until final acceptance by Boeing, Supplier
shall carry and maintain, and shall ensure that all Subcontractors
carry and maintain, Comprehensive General Liability insurance with
limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence for bodily injury, including death, and property damage
combined. Such insurance shall be in a form and with insurers
acceptable to Boeing, and shall contain coverage for all premises and
operations, broad form property damage, contractual liability, and
products and completed operations insurance. Any policy or policies
that provide the insurance required under this paragraph shall be
endorsed to name "The Boeing Company, its subsidiaries, and their
respective directors, officers, agents, and employees" as additional
insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by
Supplier or any Subcontractor, as applicable (ISO 20 10 Form B, or
equivalent, without limitation, reservation, or qualification).
b. Automobile Liability. If licensed vehicles will be used in
connection with the performance of this Agreement, Supplier shall
carry and maintain, and ensure that any Subcontractor who uses a
licensed vehicle in connection with the performance of this Agreement
carries and maintains, throughout the period of performance of the
Agreement, Automobile Liability insurance covering all vehicles,
whether owned, hired, rented, borrowed, or otherwise, with limits of
liability of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence combined single limit for
bodily injury and property damage.
15
c. Workers' Compensation and Employers Liability. Throughout the
period of performance of this Agreement and until final acceptance
by Boeing, Supplier shall carry and maintain, and ensure that all
Subcontractors carry and maintain, insurance in accordance with the
applicable laws relating to workers' compensation with respect to
all of its employees working on or about Boeing premises, regardless
of whether such coverage or insurance is mandatory or merely
elective under the law. Supplier shall also carry and maintain, and
shall ensure that all Subcontractors carry and maintain, Employers
Liability coverage with limits of not less than Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) each accident. To the extent provided
by law, any policy which provides any of the insurance required
under this paragraph shall contain a waiver of rights of subrogation
against Boeing, its subsidiaries and their respective directors,
officers, agents, and employees. If Boeing is required by any
applicable law to pay workers' compensation premiums with respect to
employees of Supplier or any Subcontractor, Supplier shall reimburse
Boeing for such payment.
d. Certificates of Insurance.
(1) Prior to the commencement of the period of performance, Supplier
shall provide for Boeing's review and approval certificates of
insurance reflecting full compliance with the requirements set
forth in the paragraphs entitled "Commercial General Liability,"
"Automobile Liability," and "Worker's Compensation and Employers
Liability" of this clause. Such certificates shall be kept
current and in compliance throughout the period of performance
and until final acceptance by Boeing, and shall provide for
thirty (30) days advance written notice to Boeing in the event
of cancellation or material change adversely affecting the
interests of Boeing. Any policy or policies providing the
insurance required under this clause may be inspected by Boeing
upon request.
(2) Supplier at Supplier's expense shall maintain or cause to be
procured and maintained the policies of insurance required under this
clause. Any self retained layer, deductibles, and exclusions in
coverage in such policies shall be assumed by, for the account of, and
at the sole risk of Supplier or the Subcontractor which provides the
insurance and, to the extent applicable, shall be paid by such
Supplier or Subcontractor. In no event shall the liability of
Supplier or any Subcontractor be limited to the extent of any
insurance available to or provided by Supplier or any Subcontractor,
or to the minimum limits of insurance required under this clause.
(3) Where Supplier is subject to the requirements of a "monopolistic"
state which does not permit insured workers compensation, a
written letter confirming participation in a state fund or,
alternatively, confirming a state approved self insurance
program, will satisfy the certificate requirement. Such letter
will identify the state account or self insurer number. For
Employer's Liability coverage in such monopolistic states,

16. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE
Termination. Boeing may terminate any Purchase Contract, in whole or in part,
by providing notice of such termination to Supplier, specifying the extent and
effective date of such termination thereof. On the specified termination date,
Supplier shall (i) stop Work to the extent specified in the termination notice,
and (ii) cease shipment of all Goods covered by the termination notice, other
than those already delivered and accepted in accordance with this Agreement as
of the termination date. Supplier shall continue to perform those obligations
under this Agreement to the extent not terminated.
Effect of Termination. In the event and to the extent of any termination under
this clause, all obligations of Supplier and all rights and licenses of Boeing
under the Purchase Contract involved shall thereupon be terminated, but only
with respect to the Goods covered by the termination notice. Supplier shall
continue to perform those obligations under this Agreement to the extent not
terminated.
c. Termination Payment. In the event and to the extent of any termination
under this clause, Boeing's total liability shall be to pay Supplier the
purchase price for all Goods delivered and accepted, but not paid for under the
Purchase Contract, on or prior to the termination date specified in the
termination notice. Supplier shall give Boeing written notice of its intent to
submit any claims for compensation under this clause within thirty (30) days
after the effective date of termination, and shall submit all such claims within
sixty (60) days after the effective date of termination. Supplier hereby
waives, releases, and renounces any claim for compensation not made within this
period.
17. CANCELLATION FOR DEFAULT
a. Cancellation. Either party may cancel any Purchase Contract, in
whole or in part, to the extent the other party fails to perform any
of its material obligations under the Purchase Contract, and does not
cure the failure within thirty (30) days after service of a default
notice, specifying the failure.
b. Effect of Cancellation. In the event and to the extent of any
cancellation under this clause, all obligations of the nondefaulting
party and all rights and licenses of the defaulting party under the
Purchase Contract shall thereupon be canceled, but only with respect
to the Goods covered by the cancellation notice, and all rights and
licenses of the nondefaulting party and all accrued obligations of
the defaulting party under the Purchase Contract shall survive. In
the event of a Supplier default, Boeing may request, and Supplier
shall deliver, the most currently available Goods.
17
c. Cancellation Payment. In the event and to the extent of any
cancellation by Supplier under this clause, Boeing's total liability
shall be to pay Supplier for the Goods delivered and accepted, but not
paid for under the Purchase Contract, on or prior to the effective
date of cancellation. Boeing may return, and Supplier shall have no
claim against Boeing for, Goods not accepted by Boeing or for rejected
Goods. Supplier shall give Boeing written notice of its intent to
submit any claims for compensation under this clause within thirty
(30) days after the effective date of cancellation, and shall submit
all such claims within sixty (60) days after the effective date of
cancellation. Supplier hereby waives, releases, and renounces any
claim for compensation not made within this period.
d. Termination for Convenience. If, after issuance of a default notice
under the paragraph entitled "Cancellation" of this clause by Boeing,
it is determined for any reason that the Supplier was not in default,
or that the default was excusable under the provisions of this
Agreement, then there will be no cancellation and the Purchase
Contract will be terminated for convenience in accordance with the
provisions of the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience," as of
the date the cancellation would have taken effect under this clause.
18. DELAYS
