▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ - Federal Systems Division. ("UNISYS") and concerns the handling,
safeguarding and exchange of sensitive, proprietary or confidential information
(collectively "Proprietary Information"). It is agreed and understood that any

CELERITY and UNISYS evaluating a possible business arrangement involving an
existing UNISYS contract with a federal government agency.
1. For the purposes hereof, Proprietary Information shall be any documents,
materials or information that (i) is in tangible form and clearly marked as
being proprietary, confidential or sensitive and (ii) is received by one
party to this Agreement ("Recipient") from the other party to this
Agreement ("Transmitter").
2. The Recipient agrees to safeguard, protect and handle all Proprietary
Information made available under this Agreement with the same degree of
care and procedures as Recipient applies to its own confidential or
proprietary information. Without the written consent of the Transmitter,
the Recipient of Proprietary Information agrees (i) not to disclose,
disseminate, reproduce or otherwise distribute such information and

issued order and (ii) not to use such information for any other purposes
beyond that expressly set forth in this Agreement.

property of the Transmitter. It is agreed that the Recipient does not
obtain any title or license rights to the Proprietary Information furnished
under this Agreement.
4. All Proprietary Information exchanged under this Agreement shall be
returned or destroyed in accordance with written instructions upon the
earlier of a written request from the Transmitter or termination of this
Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement, at any time, by
providing written notice to the receiving party. Termination of this
Agreement shall not be construed as relieving the Recipient of its
obligations to safeguard, protect and dispose of the Proprietary
Information as set forth in this Agreement.
5. The Recipient's obligations to protect, safeguard and handle Proprietary
Information received hereunder shall not be binding if such Proprietary
Information (i) is in the public domain through no fault of the Recipient,
(ii) is known to the Recipient prior to disclosure hereunder, (iii) is
lawfully disclosed to Recipient by a third party. The Recipient's
obligations shall survive until the Proprietary Information has been
returned, destroyed in accordance with written instructions or covered by a
subsequent agreement between CELERITY and UNISYS for the contemplated
services.
This represents the entire agreement of the parties relative to the subject
matter and shall be governed and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
WlTNESSETH THAT
In consideration of mutual promises, covenants, and agreements herein
set forth, the Parties agree that the SELLER shall furnish and deliver to the
BUYER all of the supplies, and perform all of the services set forth herein, for
the consideration stated therein. The rights and obligations of the Parties to
this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the terms of this Agreement
and other documents or specifications attached hereto or Referenced herein.
This Agreement shall not be varied in its terms or conditions by any
oral Agreement or representation, or otherwise than by an instrument in writing,
unless executed by both SELLER and BUYER.
The section titles used herein are for convenience only and shall in no
way be construed as part of this Subcontract or as an indication of the meaning
of the particular section.
1.0 SUPPLIES/SERVICES AND PRICES
SELLER shall provide the necessary personnel and facilities to furnish
the supplies/services as determined by or specified in individual Purchase
Orders issued to the SELLER by the BUYER. All purchase orders shall be issued
pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement. Prices set forth in this
Agreement include taxes, duties, similar charges and include shipping charges.
All charges for deliveries to the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area are
included in the item prices. Transportation charges for deliveries outside the
Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area will be negotiated on an individual Purchase
Order basis.
Unless otherwise provided in writing by the Subcontract Administrator, the costs
of the following items or activities shall be unallowable as a direct cost:
1. Special rearrangement or alteration of facilities
2. Purchase or lease of any item of general purpose office furniture,
office equipment or FIP equipment regardless of dollar value. (General

3. Travel to attend meetings unless specified in the purchase order
issued by the Unisys Subcontract Administrator
4. Capitalized nonexpendable equipment (defined as having an

authorized, expenditures for domestic travel (transportation, lodging,
subsistence, and incidental expenses) incurred in direct performance of the
resultant subcontract shall be subject to the provisions of Section 24 of Public
Law 99-234 which amends the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act to provide
that Subcontractor costs for travel, including lodging, other subsistence, and
incidental expenses, shall be allowable only to the extent that they do not
exceed the amount allowed for federal employees. The Subcontractor, therefore,
shall invoice and be reimbursed for all Travel costs in accordance with
guidelines published in the Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 42, Friday March 5,
1993.

more than 10 hours, but less than 24 hours, when no lodging is
required, Per Diem shall be one-half of the Meals and Incidental
Expenses (M&IE) rate prescribed for the location where the majority of
the time is spent performing official business. The Per Diem allowance
shall not be allowed when the period of official travel is 10 hours or
less during the same calendar day. Travel by privately owned vehicle

reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth
the full particulars in connection therewith, shall remedy such occurrence with
all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to the BUYER of
