Rice. The AfricaRice collection comprises mainly rice of African origin (approximately 80%) or rice of direct interest to Africa. Approximately 16% of the collection is Oryza glaberrima and the rest is mostly O. sativa with about 460 accessions of 5 wild species. AfricaRice works closely with IRRI and a number of activities are underway to strengthen this relationship. There is relatively little overlap between the IRRI and Africa Rice collections. Where possible, AfricaRice distributes material (including IRRI materials) within Africa and vice versa in Asia. Problems resulting from the move of AfricaRice from Bouake, Cote d’Ivoire to Cotonou remain. For example, efforts are still underway to determine exactly which accessions are available in medium-term storage in Cotonou and in what seed quantities. One third of the collection is held in long-term storage at IITA for AfricaRice, free of charge up until now. The costs of this service, however, will be charged to Africa Rice from 2011. The rest of the collection continues to be processed for long-term storage and the cost for this is included in Section 4.

Rice. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, and ---- until July 1, 1999, unless MAXYGEN earlier enters into an agreement with a third party regarding the use of Shuffling Technology with respect to rice for those projects which PIONEER wishes to conduct with MAXYGEN, MAXYGEN and PIONEER will negotiate in good faith the terms of a further agreement regarding the use of Shuffling Technology for agreed research projects with respect to rice, and corresponding license rights. It is understood and agreed that neither party shall be obligated to enter into any such agreement, and that MAXYGEN shall be free to enter into an agreement with a third party with respect to rice at any time prior to or after July 1, 1999.
Rice. 1. Each time the United States provides China with a list of rice facilities approved by the APHIS as compliant with the Phytosanitary Protocol on the Import of Rice from the United States to China, within 20 working days of receipt of the list, China shall register the facilities, publish the list of facilities, and allow the importation of U.S. rice from each of the APHIS- approved rice facilities. China continues to have the right to conduct on-site phytosanitary audits of registered rice facilities.

Rice. These CLINS work in concert to provide labor (CLIN 0005) and applicable materials and other costs (CLIN 0006) to perform work that may not be readily defined in advance of the base IDIQ award. Any negotiated work will be negotiated as a completion type fixed-price effort with the price on the task order expected to result in the full completion of the task and any requested deliverables within the negotiated price. The Government reserves the right to issue unilateral orders against these CLINS. CLINS are not required to be ordered together and may be done individually. The firm-fixed composite labor rate on CLIN 0005 is established at contract award for each ordering year within the overall ordering period. The rate shall be the basis for any labor performed under these CLINS and shall cover the prime and any subcontractor labor. The rate in effect at the time of the award of any task order will be in effect for the duration of the period of performance, even if the period of performance crosses into a future ordering year. In extreme circumstances, (e.g. a specialized consultant for a specific software problem) the contractor may request permission to submit minimal labor under CLIN 0006 as a cost reimbursement for the hourly labor rate and associated burdens under CLIN 0006 (no fee). This is the exception, and not the rule. An Incentive Fee may be used on CLIN 0007 to complement the tasks under CLINS 0005 and/or 0006, but this is at the sole discretion of the Government. The Contractor shall not propose any performance incentive fee to perform work under CLINs 0005 and 0006, unless requested by the Government. The only potential fee for work under CLIN 0006 will be a performance incentive fee. For CLIN 0006, at the time of contract award a notional not-to-exceed amount will be put in place by the Government. The not-to-exceed amount is for administrative purposes and not a target ordering limit. There is no obligation on the part of the Government to meet the notional amount. Proposals for task orders will primarily result from approved Change Requests or Engineering Change Proposals, but may be for other in-scope work as identified not otherwise covered through the contract, as determined by the Government. When the contractor is tasked to provide a proposal, the following instructions apply:

Rice. In any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions of this agreement, or seeking damages for breach or threatened breach of this agreement, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for all costs incurred in such action or proceeding including, without limitation, all court costs and filing fees, and all reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred either at the trial level or at all appellate levels.
