WITNESSETH THAT: The Customer and FhG (collectively referred to hereunder
as "Parties" and individually as "Party") hereto mutually agree as follows:
1. CONTRACT TYPE AND SCOPE OF WORK
FhG shall furnish the necessary personnel, equipment, material, services
and facilities to provide the deliverables specified in Exhibit A
("Statement of Work") and in accordance with the Payment Plan in Exhibit
B.
2. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
The period of performance for this Contract is July 16, 1999 through
December 30, 2000.
3. PRICE
3.1 For the performance of the requirements of this Firm-Fixed Price
Contract, FhG shall receive payment by Customer in DM, which shall
be paid in accordance with Article 4 of this Contract entitled
"Payment".
3.2 All travel costs incurred by FhG in any month in connection with its
performance under this Contract shall be communicated to Customer in
the following month in a report using the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E, including any other information that Customer may
reasonably request from time to time. Customer shall reimburse FhG
the amounts set forth in such reports, on a fixed sum per trip
basis, as set out in Exhibit B, subject to Customer's reasonable
approval, in accordance with the terms of Article 4 hereof.
4. PAYMENT
4.1 Payment shall be made by customer in accordance with completion of
milestones by FhG set forth in Exhibit B. All payments shall be in
DM until such time as the Euro is the only legal currency in the
Federal Republic of Germany, at which time the payment obligations
hereunder, particularly the monetary value stipulated in this
Contract, shall be regarded as being stipulated in Euro. In any case
the conversion of D-Xxxx in Euro will be effected on the basis of
the then-current published fixed conversion rate, which is currently
1.95583 DM per Euro.
4.2 Any amounts due to FhG shall be paid within thirty (30) days after
FhG provides to Customer (i) a facsimile invoice stating the

requested with respect to the omitted portions.
monthly payments according to the Payment Plan (Exhibit B) shall be
paid by Customer within thirty (30) days after FhG provides an
invoice for such amount to Customer. Customer shall have ten (10)
business days following receipt of such invoice to notify FhG that
such milestone has not been met in accordance with the requirements
of this Contract. The Parties acknowledge that the "substantial"
standard for performance set forth in Article 18.1 hereof does not
apply to the acceptance of performance milestones. If FhG does not
receive such notice within such ten (10) business day period, then
such milestone shall be deemed to have been met. Payment shall be
made by wire transfer to FhG, Reference No. [*****] or said payments
shall be express couriered to FhG at the address shown in Article
26.1 of the Contract.
4.3 Any amounts for payments under Exhibit B that have been met or
deemed to have been met that are not received by FhG within the
above stated time periods shall bear interest from the date of
invoice, at the rate of [*****] per month or the maximum rate
allowed by law, whichever is lower. If any invoiced amount is in
dispute, the Party disputing such amount shall notify the other
Party thereof in writing within ten (10) business days after such
amount was due. No interest shall be payable unless, until, and to
the extent the dispute is settled in favor of FhG. The Parties agree
that work under this Contract shall continue during the resolution
of such dispute.
4.4 Subject to Article 4.3, and provided FhG is not in default
hereunder, the Customer's failure to make payments in accordance
with the terms of this Contract shall be deemed to be a default. FhG
will provide the Customer with a written notice of the default and
if the default is not cured by the Customer within 15 days of
receipt of FhG's written notice, FhG may suspend all work hereunder
until such default is cured. If such default is not cured within 30
days of receipt of FhG's written notice, FhG may terminate work
under this Contract without further obligation to the Customer. In
the event of such termination, the Customer's liability shall be
determined by the provisions relating to the Customer's liability in
Article 19 of the Contract hereof entitled Termination for
Convenience.
4.5 In the event FhG suspends work due to late payment by the Customer,
as described in Article 4.4 above, and if following receipt of
payment by the Customer FhG subsequently proceeds with the work, the
period of performance set forth in this Contract shall be extended
by an amount of time equal to the period of time necessary for FhG
to reconstitute its efforts plus an amount of time equal to the
number of days that the work was suspended. Furthermore, any
additional cost impact resulting from such suspension shall be
determined and agreed by the Parties as an allowable cost under this
Contract. Any extension of time or additional cost agreed upon by
the Parties shall be included in an agreement to amend the Contract.
The Parties agree that work under this Contract shall continue
during the negotiation of such additional costs (or any disputes
related thereto).

result of damage to its own property and employees, including death,

subject of this Contract, which damage is not caused by the other
Party. It is the intent of the Parties that this inter-party waiver
of liability be construed broadly to achieve the intended

described in Article 10.2 hereof, each Party shall use the same
efforts to avoid disclosure, publication or dissemination of such
proprietary or confidential information as they use with respect to
their own proprietary or confidential information, but in no event
less than best efforts. Said information shall remain the
proprietary information of the Party disclosing it and shall not be
disclosed to others without the disclosing Party's prior written
consent either during or after the term of the Contract. All
technical data based upon proprietary or confidential information
furnished by Customer that is essential to the design, function or
operation of any deliverable under this Contract (including, without
limitation, any patents or patent applications anywhere in the world

Customer's proprietary or confidential data and shall not be
disclosed to others without the Customer's prior written consent
either during or after the term of the Contract. Proprietary or
confidential information or data shall not include information or
data which becomes generally known in the industry, or is known to
either Party prior to its disclosure by the other Party as
demonstrated by written records, or is authorized in writing by the
disclosing Party for release, or which is subject to judicial or
governmental compelled disclosure.

to maintain strict confidentiality of the Code.
(b) Subject to the limitation described in Article 10.3(c) below,
FhG may modify the Code for use in future projects for which

Customer Competitor. For purposes of this Contract, "Customer
