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 National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), to provide a 10V Programmable
Josephson Voltage standard system and associated training and
support (hereinafter referred to as the 10VPJVS). The 10VPJVS is
a cooperative effort between the Taipei Economic and Cultural
Representative Office in the United States (TECRO), through its
designated representative the Center for Measurement Standards
of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and AIT,
through its designated representative NIST. This Implementing
Arrangement pertains to the Guidelines for a Cooperative Program
in Physical Sciences between TECRO and AIT (dated January, 1997,
hereinafter referred to as the TECRO-AIT Guidelines) for
Technical Cooperation associated with the Delivery and Support
of a 10V Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard and is a part
of the TECRO-AIT Guidelines.

3301 et seq.).

ARTICLE III - SERVICES
The 10VPJVS provides TECRO's designated representative, ITRI,
through the Center for Measurement Standards, with a
state-of-the-art adjustable voltage reference and measurement
system for use in calibrating instruments and for participating
in international voltage measurement intercomparisons. The
ongoing success of the 10VPJVS 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 TECRO-AIT Guidelines, this Implementing
Arrangement, and future Implementing Arrangements to be agreed
upon by the parties.

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

arrangements to transfer such funds to its designated
representative, NIST, for all costs incurred in association with
this Implementing Arrangement. NIST's costs for this technical,
as well as training and delivery schedules, are included in the
Statement of Work. The deliverables are divided into two parts,
and ITRI has agreed to payment in advance prior to NIST
beginning work on these parts.

ARTICLE V - INTELLECT'UAL PROPERTY CONSIDERATIONS
The deliverables produced under the auspices of this
Implementing Arrangement shall be the sole property of TECRO and
its designated representative, ITRI. AIT's designated
representative, NIST, shall have the right to reference these
documents in scientific publications and other reports as
necessary. Any intellectual property solely created by NIST will
remain the property of NIST. Pursuant to 17 USC 105, any work of
a Federal employee is not subject to copyright in the United
States and shall be in the public domain.

TECRO and its designated representative, ITRI, own deliverables
under this Implementing Arrangement including a copy of the NIST
software, which grants them a license for full use of the NIST
software in the 10VPJVS. The NIST software remains the
intellectual property of AIT's designated representative, NIST.

ARTICLE VI - CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
No proprietary information will be exchanged during this
Implementing Arrangement. Additionally, AIT ’ s designated
representative, NIST, may refuse to receive any information at
any time, and TECRO's designated representative, ITRI shall
honor such request.

ARTICLE VII - EFFECTIVE DATE, AMENDMENT, AND TERMINATION
This Implementing Arrangement takes effect on the date of
signature and the completion time of tasks described in this
Implementing Arrangement is within 34 months after ITRI receives
the invoice from NIST. This Implementing Arrangement may be
amended and/or terminated in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the TECRO-AIT Guidelines.
