WHEREAS, CSI and TCS, consistent with the Government’s policy on Teaming Agreements (FAR Subpart 9.6), believe that a teaming relationship between the two will offer the Customer the best combination of capabilities to achieve optimum performance, cost, and delivery for the Program requirements. To this end, the parties desire to enter into a Teaming Agreement to provide for the respective responsibilities in the joint preparation of a proposal in response to the solicitation and for the work to be performed under a resultant contract which may be implemented by one or more of the following means: (i) task orders under the WWSS IDIQ contract; (ii) other contract vehicle opportunity(es); ; or, (iii) separate open market transactions.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations and covenants created herein, the parties mutually agree as follows:
1. This Agreement shall not constitute, create, give effect to, or otherwise imply a joint venture, partnership or formal business organization of any kind. Each party hereto is an independent contractor and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to be inconsistent with this relationship or status. Neither party owes a fiduciary duty to the other. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed in any way to constitute either party as the agent, employee, or representative of the other. As an independent contractor, each party has relied on its own expertise or the expertise of its legal, financial, technical, or other advisors.
2. TCS will act as the Prime Contractor with CSI as a Sub-Contractor for purposes of preparing and submitting the proposal(s) in response to any solicitation and for purposes of performing the resultant contract. CSI shall use good faith efforts to prepare those portions of the combined proposal relating to its contribution to the Program, as described in Exhibit A, or as may be further identified and agreed upon by CSI and TCS from time to time. CSI will submit its complete proposal(s) to TCS no later than the due date mutually agreed to by the parties. TCS shall have the final responsibility for the preparation, evaluation, and submission of the proposal(s) to the Customer, however, CSI shall be given the opportunity to review and concur with any proposal(s) before submission. All contacts with the Customer pertaining to the
preparation of proposals and pursuit of this opportunity shall be coordinated through TCS. Each party shall be responsible for its own costs associated with this Agreement.
3. The division of work and responsibility between the parties in pursuing the Program contemplated by this Agreement, including all proposals, and the TCS contract, together with all amendments and modifications, is defined and set forth in Exhibit A.
4. TCS’s proposal to the Customer will contain and identify CSI’s contribution to the proposal and will also indicate that TCS intends to award a subcontract to CSI for the work defined as CSI’s responsibility in Exhibit A. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or restrict the rights of either party to quote, offer to sell or sell to any party other than the Customer any products and services which are regularly offered for sale and which are not unique to this Project. In addition, in the event this Agreement is terminated either party shall be free to pursue their individual technical approaches which are unique to this Agreement with any other party..
5. CSI and TCS agree to participate exclusively with each other in pursuing the award for the aforementioned Program and that neither will participate in any other proposal or team effort for the work defined in Exhibit A or in response to the Program unless such other participation has been mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be construed or interpreted to apply to any other CSI subsidiary, affiliate, entity, or business unit, or any other TCS subsidiary, affiliate, entity, or business unit. Further, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict either party from quoting, offering to sell, or selling to others standard commercial products or services regularly offered to the public. TCS reserves the right to add other team members as required, consistent with Exhibit A.
6. In the event TCS is awarded a contract or task order(s) for the Program, TCS agrees to negotiate in good faith and award a subcontract to CSI for the portion of the Program described in Exhibit A, consistent with the Statement of Work, price, and terms and conditions of the prime contract with the Customer. The value of the subcontract awarded shall be no less than the amount contained in the portion of the applicable proposal except as modified by prior mutual agreement between the parties. It is also agreed that any such subcontract shall provide specifically, relative to any Termination for Convenience clause, that the prime contractor may terminate the subcontract for convenience of the prime contractor, in whole or in part, only in the event the related part of the prime contract is terminated, in whole or in part, prior thereto by and for the Convenience of the Customer or in the event that the Customer so modifies the prime contract as to eliminate the necessity of the work to be performed by subcontractor in whole or in part.
7. Each party acknowledges (i) the risks and obligations of its undertakings; (ii) the uncertainty of the benefits; and (iii) its assumption of such risks, obligations and uncertainty. Each party has conducted its own due diligence and requested and reviewed any contracts, business plans, financial documents, and other written material as in such party’s opinion shall be the basis of that party’s decision to enter into this Agreement.
8. Each party has consulted such legal, financial, technical, or other expert it deems necessary or desirable before entering into this Agreement. Each party represents and warrants that it has read, knows, understands, and agrees with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Neither party has relied upon any oral representation of the other party in entering into this Agreement. All discussions, estimates, or projections developed by a party during the course of negotiating the terms and conditions of this
Agreement are by way of illustration only, and, unless specifically contained in this Agreement or one of its exhibits, are not binding or enforceable against the other party in law or in equity.
9. Except for liability arising from a breach of Paragraphs 10 (proprietary information) and 19 (intellectual property), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall either party be liable for special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages as a result of a breach of any provision of this Agreement.

19.
b. Each party hereto, insofar as it is free to do so without obligation to others, hereby authorizes the other party to use its Intellectual Property solely as necessary for the performance of each party’s respective obligations under this Agreement. Similarly, and only to the extent that a party is free to do so without obligation to others, any subcontract between the parties resulting from this Agreement shall contain appropriate royalty-free cross licenses between the parties so as to enable each such party to use Intellectual Property of the other party to perform its obligations under said subcontract and the associated prime contract with the Government.
c. Subject to any rights of the Government, each party shall retain title to any Intellectual Property if developed, authored, conceived or reduced to practice independently and solely by that party during the performance of this Agreement without the other party’s Intellectual Property. In such event, no license, express or implied, shall inure to the benefit of the other participating party to prepare copies and derivative works of such copyrighted works or to make, use, sell and export/import products or processes incorporating such Intellectual Property, except as expressly provided herein or in any resulting subcontract between the parties.
d. In the event Intellectual Property is developed by one party during the performance of this Agreement, which invention or copyrighted work necessarily derives from and incorporates Intellectual Property disclosed by the other party, such invention and/or copyrighted works shall be and remain the property of the inventing party; provided, however, that the inventing party shall and does
hereby grant to the other party hereto a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable right and license to make copies and derivative works of such Intellectual Property, and to make, have made, use, sell and have sold solely for use on the Program such invention, products or processes incorporating such Intellectual Property.
e. In the event Intellectual Property is developed jointly by the parties during the performance of this Agreement, unless expressly provided otherwise in any subsequent subcontract between the parties resulting from this Agreement, such Intellectual Property shall be owned jointly by the parties unless one of the parties elects not to participate in such joint ownership. Neither party shall take action with respect thereto which will adversely affect the rights of the other party without the prior written consent thereof. As to all such jointly owned Intellectual Property, each owning party shall be free to use, practice and license non-exclusively such jointly owned Intellectual Property, without in any way accounting to the other owning party, except that each owning party agrees to use reasonable efforts to maintain such jointly owned Intellectual Property as confidential and proprietary in the same manner it treats its own Intellectual Property of a similar character. Procedures for seeking and maintaining protection such as patents or copyrights for jointly owned Intellectual Property shall be mutually agreed in good faith by the owning parties. Any party which does not bear its proportionate share of expenses in securing and maintaining patent protection on jointly owned Intellectual Property in any particular country or countries shall surrender its joint ownership under any resulting patents in such country or countries.
20. Neither party will be liable to the other for expenses or costs incurred by it during any phase of the preparation of proposals, or for any work thereunder, or any negotiations, which may follow either with the Customer.
21. If any part, term, or provision of this Agreement shall be held void, illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with any law of a Federal, State, or local Government having jurisdiction over this Agreement, the validity of the remaining portions of provisions shall not be affected thereby. In the event that any part, term or provision of this Agreement is held void, illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with any law of the Federal, State, or local Government having jurisdiction over this Agreement, the parties agree, to the extent possible, to include a replacement provision, construed to accomplish its originally intended effect, that does not violate such law or regulation.
22. This Agreement states the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter, and all prior and contemporaneous understandings, representations, and agreements whether oral or in writing are merged and superseded. No alteration, modification, release, or waiver of this Agreement or any of the provisions herein shall be effective unless agreed to in writing and executed by both parties.
23. All notices, certificates, acknowledgments and other reports sent by a party under this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered when duly mailed by certified mail to the other party at its address as follows, or to such other address as either party may, by written notice, designate to the other.
