ARTICLE I - SCOPE
This Implementing Arrangement describes the cooperative
scientific, technical, engineering and administrative activities
to be undertaken by the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT)
through its designated representative, the University
Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), to provide
enhancement and support services for the Advanced Operational
Aviation Weather System (hereinafter referred to as the AOAWS,
whereby the enhanced AOAWS will hereinafter be referred to as
the AOAWS-ES). The Advanced Operational Aviation Weather System
is a cooperative effort between the Taipei Economic and Cultural
Representative Office in the United States (TECRO), through its
designated representative, the Civil Aeronautics Administration
(CAA), of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications
(MOTC) and AIT, through its designated representative, UCAR.
This Implementing Arrangement pertains to the Agreement (dated
February, 1998, hereinafter referred to as the Agreement)
between TECRO and AIT for Technical Cooperation associated with
the Establishment of Advanced Operational Aviation Weather
Systems and is a part of the Agreement.

ARTICLE II - AUTHORIZATION
The activities described in this Implementing Arrangement will
be carried out under the general terms and conditions
established by the Agreement. The Agreement was entered into by
the parties pursuant to the Taiwan Relations Act of April 10,
1979, Public Law 96-8 (22 USC 3301 et seq.).

ARTICLE III - SERVICES
The AOAWS provides TECRO's designated representative, CAA, the
airlines and the flying public on Taiwan with state-of-the-art
aviation weather technology for: I) hazardous weather phenomena
that affect aviation operations, 2) weather phenomena that
affect airspace capacity and safety at major hub airports, and
3) weather phenomena that affect overall efficiency of aviation
operations. The AOAWS is a complex system utilizing several
advanced weather sensing subsystems, integrated communications,
advanced software, advanced numerical weather forecast models,
and advanced display technology developed for TECRO's designated
representative, CAA, and airline end users by AIT's designated
representative, UCAR. The ongoing success of the AOAWS is
dependent on technical cooperation and technology transfer
between the designated representatives of TECRO and AIT in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, this
Implementing Arrangement, and future Implementing Arrangements
to be agreed upon by the parties.

The technical cooperation to be undertaken under the auspices of
this Implementing Arrangement is defined by the tasks described
in the attached Statement of Work. Task details, including
specific work to be performed, performance period, and estimated
cost for each task are contained in the attached Statement of
Work.

ARTICLE IV - FINANCIAL PROVISIONS
TECRO will reimburse AlT and AlT will make necessary
arrangements to transfer such funds to its designated
representative, UCAR, for all costs incurred in association with
this Implementing Arrangement. UCAR's costs for this technical
cooperation will be assessed on the basis of actual labor time
and materials utilized fully loaded, plus a 3% management fee.
TECRO has agreed that fifty percent (50%) of the estimated cost
for the tasks associated with this Implementing Arrangement will
be transferred in advance to AIT and that the remaining costs
will be reimbursed within 30 days after acceptance of the
deliverables by TECRO and its designated representative, CAA. It
is agreed and understood that the payment will be provided in
US$. The upper limit for expenditures incurred under this
Implementing Arrangement is US$579,824. UCAR will submit an
invoice to AIT for transmittal to TECRO for payment at the
beginning of the contract period and at the end of the contract
period listing actual costs incurred. If this Implementing
Arrangement has been approved by both parties and the budget is
subsequently reduced, TECRO's designated representative, CAA,
and AlT's designated representative, UCAR, will negotiate an
adjustment to the scope of work to the satisfaction of both
parties. If this Implementing Arrangement has been approved by
both parties and the budget is subsequently not approved by the

reimburse AlT's designated representative, UCAR, via the
AIT-TECRO channel for all costs incurred up to the date of
notice of termination.
