K. CHANGES
CHANGES CLAUSE CLAIM PERIOD. The "Changes" clause of this
contract is revised by changing the number of days set forth therein from
thirty (30) to twenty-five (25).
ADJUSTMENT LIMITATIONS. Any Seller change proposal shall include a
"not to exceed" price and delivery adjustment, or a "not
less than" price and delivery adjustment, as applicable, acceptable
to Seller in the event Buyer subsequently orders such change. The change
shall be evaluated on the basis of such amounts and if ordered, the equitable
adjustment shall not exceed such amounts.
PRICING OF CHANGES. The negotiated price for any change will neither
exceed the amount initially proposed by Seller as an increase for the change
nor be less than the amount initially proposed by Seller as a decrease
for the change.
OPTION ADJUSTMENTS. In addition to other requirements of the "Changes"
clause of this contract, each change proposal submitted pursuant to such
clause shall include Seller's proposal for adjustment of the prices set
forth in the "Options" clause of this contract. If Buyer orders
or accepts such change, the contract price and the contract option prices
shall be adjusted accordingly.
TESTABILITY. Seller submittal of any Class II Engineering Changes shall
include the following statement, to which Seller shall be bound: "This
change does not affect the testability of this contract item or its components".
ADDITIONAL ITEMS. For the considerations contained in this contract,
Seller agrees to retain the capability to sell and deliver to Buyer or
Buyer's customer(s), and shall sell and deliver to Buyer or Buyer's customer(s)
upon request of any of them, such additional quantities of the end items
of this contract (as these items may be modified during the performance
period of this contract), as well as similar versions of these items, at
such price(s) and schedule(s) as in good faith may be mutually agreed upon
by Seller and either Buyer or Buyer's customer(s) with due regard for the
needs of Buyer's customer(s) and upon those other terms as are mutually
agreed upon but which are not less favorable to Buyer and Buyer's customer(s)
than those contained in this contract.
CHANGE ORDER ACCOUNTING. For every change or series of related changes,
Seller shall maintain separate accounts by job order or other suitable
accounting procedure of all incurred segregable, direct costs (less allocable
credits), of work, both changed, and not changed, allocable to the change.
Such accounts shall be maintained until the parties hereto have unconditionally
agreed upon an equitable adjustment for such change.
