this Agreement and are actually available to each party. Each party shall be the sole
judge and authority in determining the availability of funds under this Agreement and
shall keep the other party fully informed as to the availability of funds for the Services.
The obligation of each party to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement is a current
expense of each party, payable exclusively from such annual appropriations, and is not a
general obligation or indebtedness of either party. In the event that insufficient funds are
appropriated by either party, either party may reduce payments or terminate this
Agreement without further recourse, obligation or penalty to either party. Neither party

calendar days’ written notice to the other party at the addresses indicated below, and,
upon such termination, all property used in connection with this Agreement will be
promptly returned to the party holding title thereto. The written notice specified in this
subsection shall specify the extent to which performance of work under this Agreement is
1051911.3 5
terminated, and the date upon which such termination becomes effective.
Notwithstanding such termination, each party shall be compensated for Services
delivered prior to termination
E. Scrutinized Business Operations. Pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. §§ 35-391.06 and 35-
393.06, the parties each certify that they do not have scrutinized business operations in
Sudan or Iran. For the purpose of this subsection the term “scrutinized business
operations” shall have the meanings set forth in ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 35-391 or 35-393, as
applicable. If either party determines that the other party submitted a false certification,
the party making such determination may impose remedies as provided by law including
terminating this Agreement.
SECTION 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
The following provisions are material and essential to the parties’ entry in to this
Agreement. A breach of any of the provisions of this Section shall constitute a material breach
of contract:

Exhibits, Attachments, or Schedules attached hereto, constitute the full and complete
understanding and agreement of the parties. It supersedes and replaces any and all
previous representations, understandings, and agreements, written or oral, relating to its
subject matter, including the MOU. This Agreement, and its terms, may not be modified
or changed except in writing signed by both parties.
B. Invalidity of Any Provisions. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect even if
one or more of its terms or provisions have been held to be invalid or unenforceable.
Such a holding shall result in the offending term or provision being ineffective to the
extent of its invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining terms and
provisions hereof; this Agreement shall thereafter be construed as though the invalid or
unenforceable term or provision were not contained herein.
C. Applicable Law and Litigation. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Arizona. Any and all litigation between the
parties arising from this Agreement shall be litigated solely in the appropriate state court

cancellation pursuant to the provisions of ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 38-511.
E. Non-waiver. Should either party fail or delay in exercising or enforcing any right, power,
privilege or remedy under this Agreement such failure or delay shall not be deemed a
waiver, release or modification of the requirements of this Agreement or of any of the
terms or provisions thereof.
