DOE O 483.1A Attachment 2 11-6-2013 Page 1 (and Page 2) ATTACHMENT 2 This Attachment provides information and/or requirements associated with DOE O 483.1A as well as information and/or requirements applicable to contracts in which the associated CRD (Attachment 1 to DOE O 483.1A) is inserted. JWS/CRADA PROCESS Procedures for review and approval of Contractor CRADAs are developed and implemented by the DOE field offices. The JWS is intended to be the primary tool for ensuring that the contractor and DOE have a common understanding of the purpose, scope, schedule, and cost of work for a CRADA. DOE’s approval of a JWS sets the parameters within which the contractor may negotiate the CRADA. A JWS may be approved before the corresponding CRADA is approved by DOE, or Laboratories submit these documents together for approval simultaneously. The DOE field office Contracting Officer will review the JWS for compliance with Federal and agency regulations and guidelines and approve the JWS pursuant to DOE policy. The DOE field office Contracting Officer may require concurrence from program managers, financial officer, legal and other reviewers pursuant to field office procedures. All issues and problems will be identified and resolved prior to approval. Attachment 6 (Joint Work Statement Format), presents the DOE JWS format to be used for all CRADAs. This format is also to be used by contractors when developing multi-laboratory CRADAs. The Statement of Work based on the work summary approved in the JWS will be made an annex to the CRADA. This JWS format may be supplemented by local field offices. The DOE Model CRADA (Attachment 3) and Alternate Clauses, Additional Articles and General Guidance (Attachment 4) contain the approved language to be used in a CRADA. Once a CRADA has been approved, any amendment to the CRADA, other than a no-cost extension, requires DOE approval. The mechanics for the approval of such an amendment shall be developed by the cognizant field office and should be consistent with this Order. It is recognized that other models may be developed through appropriate entities in DOE. These include the Model Short Form CRADA (Attachment 5). If there is any question as to the validity of other models, consult with the Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 3 11-6-2013 Page 1 ATTACHMENT 3 This Attachment provides information and/or requirements associated with DOE O 483.1A as well as information and/or requirements applicable to contracts in which the associated CRD (Attachment 1 to DOE O 483.1A) is inserted. DOE MODEL CRADA This DOE Model CRADA (Attachment 3) and Alternate Clauses, Additional Articles and General Guidance (Attachment 4) are to be used by both the Laboratory and Participant to negotiate a final CRADA. DOE expects most laboratories to propose a Laboratory Model CRADA that will be approved by the local DOE field office. These Laboratory Model CRADAs would be tailored from the DOE Model CRADA to specific M&O Contract and Contractor requirements. And for these reasons, each Laboratory Model CRADA may include additional articles, alternate clauses and /or custom language. Negotiations with a potential CRADA Participant would begin with the Laboratory Model CRADA and, if necessary, be modified appropriately using clauses from Attachment 4. For example, if the project involved the creation of software or trademarks, the appropriate clauses would be added to the Laboratory Model CRADA. Also, some laboratories may want more detail in Export Control Article or publication reviews (both in Attachment 4) as the standard language for that Laboratory Model CRADA.

Double underline clauses and phrases require Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property approval to modify or remove. Submission of the JWS in accordance with the Joint Work Statement Format (Attachment 6) and the Laboratory CRADA will follow DOE Policy and DOE field office procedures. Identification of specific Alternate Clauses, Additional Articles and General Guidance (Attachment 4) clauses used in projects that deviate from the Laboratory Model CRADA will assist the local DOE field office in reviewing/approving the CRADA package.

No settlement for which the Participant would be responsible shall be made without the Participant’s consent unless required by final decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. ARTICLE VI: RIGHTS IN SUBJECT INVENTIONS Wherein DOE has granted the Participant and the Contractor the right to elect to retain title to their respective Subject Inventions, and wherein the Participant has the option to choose an exclusive license, for reasonable compensation, for a pre-negotiated field of use to the Contractor’s Subject Inventions,

A. Each Party shall have the first option to elect to retain title to any of its Subject Inventions and that election shall be made: (1) for the Participant, within 12 months of disclosure of the Subject Invention to DOE or (2) for the Contractor, within the time period specified in its prime contract for electing to retain title to Subject Inventions. However, such election shall occur not later than 60 days prior to the time when any statutory bar might foreclose filing of a U.S. Patent application. The electing Party has one year to file a patent application after such election unless any statutory bar exists. If a Party elects not to retain title to any of its Subject Inventions or fails to timely file a patent application, the other Party shall have the second option to elect to obtain title to such Subject Invention within the time period specified in paragraph B below. B. The Parties agree to assign to DOE, as requested by DOE, the entire right, title and interest in any country to each Subject Invention where the Parties (1) do not elect DOE O 483.1A Attachment 3 11-6-2013 Page 5 pursuant to this article to retain/obtain such rights, or (2) elect to retain/obtain title to a Subject Invention but fail to have a patent application filed in that country on the Subject Invention or decide not to continue prosecution or not to pay any maintenance fees covering the Subject Invention. If DOE is granted a patent on Participant’s Subject Invention, the Participant may request a non-exclusive license and DOE will determine whether to grant such license pursuant to statutory authority. C. The Parties acknowledge that the Government retains a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or to have practiced for or on behalf of the United States every Subject Invention under this CRADA throughout the world. The Parties agree to execute a Confirmatory License to affirm the Government’s retained license. D. The Parties agree to disclose to each other each Subject Invention which may be patentable or otherwise protectable under U.S. patent law. The Parties agree that the Contractor and the Participant will disclose their respective Subject Inventions to DOE and each other within two (2) months after the inventor first discloses the Subject Invention in writing to the person(s) responsible for patent matters of the disclosing Party. These disclosures should be in sufficiently complete technical detail to convey a clear understanding, to the extent known at the time of the disclosure, of the nature, purpose, and operation of the Subject Invention. The disclosure shall also identify any known actual or potential statutory bars, e.g., printed publications describing the Subject Invention or the public use or “on sale” of the Subject Invention. The Parties further agree to disclose to each other any subsequently known actual or potential statutory bar that occurs for a Subject Invention disclosed but for which a patent application has not been filed. All Subject Invention disclosures shall be marked as confidential under 35 U.S.C. 205. E. The Parties agree to include within the beginning of the specification of any U.S. patent applications and any patent issuing thereon (including non-U.S. patents) covering a Subject Invention, the following statement: “This invention was made under a CRADA (identify CRADA number) between (name the Participant) and (name the laboratory) operated for the United States Department of Energy. The Government has certain rights in this invention.”

F. The Parties acknowledge that DOE has certain march-in rights to any Subject Inventions in accordance with 48 CFR 27.304-1(g) and 15 U.S.C. 3710a(b)(1)(B) and (C). G. The Participant agrees to submit, for a period of five (5) years from the date of termination or completion of this CRADA and upon request of DOE, a nonproprietary report no more frequently than annually on efforts to utilize any Intellectual Property arising under the CRADA including information regarding compliance with U.S. Competitiveness provision of this CRADA. Attachment 3 DOE O 483.1A Page 6 11-6-2013 ARTICLE VII: RIGHTS IN DATA A. The Parties agree that they shall have no obligations of nondisclosure or limitations on their use of, and the Government shall have unlimited rights in, all Generated Information produced and information provided by the Parties under this CRADA, except for restrictions on data provided for in this Article or data disclosed in a Subject Invention disclosure being considered for Patent protection. B. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: Each Party agrees to not disclose Proprietary Information provided by the other Party to anyone other than the CRADA Participant, Contractor and its subcontractors (if any) performing work under this CRADA without written approval of the providing Party, except to Government employees who are subject to the statutory provisions against disclosure of confidential information set forth in the Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. 1905). Government employees shall not be required to sign non-disclosure agreements due to the provisions of the above-cited statute. If Proprietary Information is orally disclosed to a Party, it shall be identified as such, orally, at the time of disclosure and confirmed in a written summary thereof, appropriately marked by the disclosing Party, within ____ days as being Proprietary Information. All Proprietary Information shall be protected for a period of _____ years from the effective date of this CRADA, unless such Proprietary Information becomes publicly known without the fault of the recipient, shall come into recipient’s possession without breach by the recipient of any of the obligations set forth herein, can be demonstrated by the recipient by written record that it is known prior to receipt from disclosing party, is disclosed by operation of law, or is independently developed by recipient’s employees who did not have access to such Proprietary Information. C. PROTECTED CRADA INFORMATION: Except where a Participant’s Federal funding agreement prohibits such protection, each Party may designate and mark as Protected CRADA Information any Generated Information produced by its employees, which meets the definition in Article I and, with the agreement of the other Party, so designate any Generated Information produced by the other Party’s employees which meets the definition in Article I. All such designated Protected CRADA Information shall be appropriately marked. For a period of _____ [not to exceed 5 years] from the date Protected CRADA Information is produced, the Parties agree not to further disclose such information and to use the same degree of care and discretion, but no less than reasonable care and discretion, to avoid disclosure, publication or dissemination of such information to a third party, as the Party employs for similar protection of its own information which it does not desire to disclose, publish, or disseminate except: (1) as necessary to perform this CRADA;

DOE O 483.1A Attachment 3 11-6-2013 Page 7 (2) as published in a patent application or an issued patent before the protection period expires; (3) as provided in Article X [REPORTS AND PUBLICATIONS]; (4) as requested by the DOE Contracting Officer to be provided to other DOE facilities for use only at those DOE facilities solely for Government use only with the same protection in place and marked accordingly. (5) when a specific maximum time period for delaying the public release of data is authorized in the terms of a Government funding agreement used to fund this CRADA and that maximum period is shorter than the time period set forth in this Article for protecting Protected CRADA Information; (6) to existing or potential licensees, affiliates, customers, or suppliers of the Parties in support of commercialization of the technology with the same protection in place. Disclosure of the Participant’s Protected CRADA Information under this subparagraph shall only be done with the Participant’s consent; or (7) as mutually agreed to by the Parties in advance. The obligations of this paragraph shall end sooner for any Protected CRADA Information which shall become publicly known without fault of either Party, shall come into a Party’s possession without breach by that Party of the obligations of paragraph above, or shall be independently developed by a Party’s employees who did not have access to the Protected CRADA Information. Federal Government employees who are subject to 18 USC 1905 may have access to Protected CRADA Information and shall not be required to sign non-disclosure agreements due to the provisions of the statute. D. COPYRIGHT: The Parties may assert Copyright in any of their Generated Information. Assertion of Copyright generally means to enforce or give an indication of an intent or right to enforce such as by marking or securing Federal registration. Copyrights in co-authored works by employees of the Parties shall be held jointly, and use by either Party shall be without accounting. For all Generated Information, the Government has for itself and others acting on its behalf, a royalty-free, nontransferable, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies to the public, and perform publicly and display publicly, by or on behalf of the Government, in all copyrightable works produced in the performance of this CRADA, subject to the restrictions this Article places on publication of Proprietary Information and Protected CRADA Information. Attachment 3 DOE O 483.1A Page 8 11-6-2013 The Parties agree that no computer software will be created under this CRADA. If the scope of work changes to create computer software, then the CRADA will be amended accordingly. The Parties agree to place Copyright and other notices, as appropriate for the protection of Copyright, in human-readable form onto all physical media, and in digitally encoded form in the header of machine-readable information recorded on such media such that the notice will appear in human-readable form when the digital data are off loaded or the data are accessed for display or printout. ARTICLE VIII: U.S. COMPETITIVENESS The Parties agree that a purpose of this CRADA is to provide substantial benefit to the U.S. economy. A. In exchange for the benefits received under this CRADA, the Participant therefore agrees to the following:

1. Products embodying Intellectual Property developed under this CRADA shall be substantially manufactured in the United States, and 2. Processes, services, and improvements thereof which are covered by Intellectual Property developed under this CRADA shall be incorporated into the Participant’s manufacturing facilities in the United States either prior to or simultaneously with implementation outside the United States. Such processes, services, and improvements, when implemented outside the United States, shall not result in reduction of the use of the same processes, services, or improvements in the United States. B. The Contractor agrees to a U.S. Industrial Competitiveness clause in accordance with its prime contract with respect to any licensing and assignments of its Intellectual Property arising from this CRADA, except that any licensing or assignment of its intellectual property rights to the Participant shall be in accordance with the terms of paragraph A of this Article. ARTICLE IX: EXPORT CONTROL THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT MATERIALS AND INFORMATION RESULTING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS CRADA MAY BE SUBJECT TO EXPORT CONTROL LAWS AND THAT EACH PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS OWN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. EXPORT LICENSES OR OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT MAY BE REQUIRED FOR THE EXPORT OF GOODS, TECHNICAL DATA OR SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EXPORT CONTROL REQUIREMENTS MAY CHANGE AND THAT THE EXPORT OF GOODS, TECHNICAL DATA OR SERVICES FROM THE U.S. WITHOUT AN EXPORT LICENSE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATION MAY RESULT IN CRIMINAL LIABILITY. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 3 11-6-2013 Page 9 ARTICLE X: REPORTS AND PUBLICATIONS A. The Parties agree to produce the following deliverables to DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI): (1) an initial abstract suitable for public release at the time the CRADA is executed; (2) a final report, upon completion or termination of this CRADA, to include a list of Subject Inventions; and (3) other scientific and technical information in any format or medium that is produced as a result of this CRADA that is useful to the Government or the public as specified by and upon request from DOE no later than two years from submission of the final report to OSTI. The Parties acknowledge that the Contractor has the responsibility to timely provide the above information to OSTI. Furthermore, item (2) above should also be provided to the DOE field office. B. The Parties agree to secure pre-publication review from each other wherein the non- publishing Party shall provide within 30 days any written objections to be considered by the publishing Party. C. The Parties agree that neither will use the name of the other Party or its employees in any promotional activity, such as advertisements, with reference to any product or service resulting from this CRADA, without prior written approval of the other Party. ARTICLE XI: FORCE MAJEURE No failure or omission by the Contractor or the Participant in the performance of any obligation under this CRADA shall be deemed a breach of this CRADA or create any liability if the same shall arise from any cause or causes beyond the control of the Contractor or the Participant, including but not limited to the following, which, for the purpose of this CRADA, shall be regarded as beyond the control of the Party in question: Acts of God, acts or omissions of any government or agency thereof, compliance with requirements, rules, regulations, or orders of any governmental authority or any office, department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, fire, storm, flood, earthquake, accident, acts of the public enemy, war, rebellion, insurrection, riot, sabotage, invasion, quarantine, restriction, transportation embargoes, or failures or delays in transportation.

Attachment 3 DOE O 483.1A Page 10 11-6-2013 ARTICLE XII: DISPUTES The Parties shall attempt to jointly resolve all disputes arising from this CRADA. In the event a dispute arises under this CRADA, the Participant is encouraged to contact Contractor’s Technology Partnerships Ombudsman in order to further resolve such dispute before pursuing third-party mediation or other remedies.

FOR CONTRACTOR: FOR PARTICIPANT: BY _____________ BY_______________ TITLE __________ TITLE____________ DATE __________ DATE_____________ DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 1 ATTACHMENT 4 This Attachment provides information and/or requirements associated with DOE O 483.1A as well as information and/or requirements applicable to contracts in which the associated CRD (Attachment 1 to DOE O 483.1A) is inserted. ALTERNATE CLAUSES, ADDITIONAL ARTICLES AND GENERAL GUIDANCE Laboratories can replace clauses in the DOE Model CRADA or Laboratory Model CRADA with language from this Attachment as appropriate. These clauses are pre-approved by DOE and rarely require specific DOE approval. However, identification of the use of one of these pre- approved clauses will speed up the review and approval process for the CRADA by the DOE field office. I. ALTERNATE CLAUSES ARTICLE I: DEFINITIONS These definitions may be added when appropriate: ADDITIONAL DEFINITION: Affiliate

Any of the following definitions for Affiliate can be used when the CRADA is with a consortium or the CRADA Participant is a subsidiary or parent company. The CRADA may be appropriately modified to extend the rights and responsibilities to Affiliates (particularly regarding intellectual property). “Affiliate” means any entity in which the Participant owns or controls, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting stock or equity. “Affiliate” means the member companies of __________________ [consortium] and any entity designated by such a member company, in which the member company owns or controls, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting stock or equity. “Affiliate(s)” of a Party means any company, partnership or other legal entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a Party hereto, either (1) by direct or indirect ownership of over 50 percent of the outstanding shares of the entity or the party, or (2) by directly or indirectly having the right to designate over 50 percent of its directors or in the case of any entity other than a corporation, persons exercising similar authority. ADDITIONAL DEFINITION: Foreign Interests When the need for a foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) review has been determined to exist and where Article IX, Export Control, has been appropriately modified, the following two definitions should be added: Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 2 11-6-2013 “Foreign Interest” is defined as any of the following: (1) A foreign government or foreign government agency; (2) Any form of business enterprise organized under the laws of any country other than the United States or its possessions; (3) Any form of business enterprise organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States, or a State or other jurisdiction within the United States, which is owned, controlled, or influenced by a foreign government, agency, firm, corporation or person; or (4) Any person who is not a U.S. citizen. “Foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI)” means the situation where the degree of ownership, control, or influence over a Participant by a foreign interest is such that a reasonable basis exists for concluding that compromise of classified information or special nuclear material, as defined in 10 CFR Part 710.5, may result. ADDITIONAL DEFINITION: Laboratory Tangible Research Products If Laboratory Tangible Research Products (LTRP) are likely to be developed in the CRADA, this definition and an alternate Personal Property provision (Article III) may be used. “Laboratory Tangible Research Products” or “LTRP” means tangible material results of research that: (i) can be used for replication, reproduction, evaluation or confirmation of the research effort, or to evaluate its potential commercial utility; (ii) are not materials generally commercially available; and (iii) were made by one or more of the Parties in the performance of this CRADA. LTRP includes, without limitation, “Laboratory Biological Materials,” which is a biological material that can be replicated or reproduced, such as plasmids, deoxyribonucleic acid molecules, ribonucleic acid molecules, living organisms of any sort and their progeny, including viruses, prokaryote and eukaryote cell lines, transgenic plants and animals, and any derivatives or modifications thereof or products produced through their use or associated biological products. ADDITONAL DEFINITION: Other Protected Data

The following definition may be added if the CRADA involves Federal funding (from DOE or other agencies) that allows restrictions on release and marking of data (an additional paragraph in Article VII Rights in Data references this definition): “Other Protected Data” means data first produced in the performance of an award, contract, or other agreement with DOE or another federal agency which is marked as being protected from public disclosure or other uses for a particular period time in accordance with that award, contract, other agreement or other statutory authority. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 3 ALTERNATE DEFINITIONS: These alternate definitions may be used if desired: “Intellectual Property” means patents, copyrights, trademarks and mask works protected by Federal law and foreign counterparts, except trade secrets. “Proprietary Information” means information, including data, which embodies (i) trade secrets or (ii) commercial or financial information which is privileged or confidential under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(4)), either of which is developed at private expense outside of this CRADA and which is marked as Proprietary Information. GENERAL GUIDANCE: A definition section must include definitions for DOE Contracting Officer, DOE, Generated Information, Subject Invention, and any other terms that would be used in the CRADA. Additional definitions can be added based on the scope of work performed under the CRADA. The definitions for Trademark and Mask Works are located in the Additional Articles section below. The definition for Background Intellectual Property (see Attachment 3, Article I) may not be all-inclusive (e.g., pre-existing invention disclosures, which may become Subject Inventions if reduced to practice under the CRADA, or copyrighted software). It is essential that the existence of this additional Background Intellectual Property be brought to the attention of the Participant before the CRADA is signed. This can be done by either changing the definition or by using a separate article on Background Intellectual Property to recognize such Background Intellectual Property. Additionally, it should be made clear either in an annex listing Background Intellectual Property or in one of the separate articles on Background Intellectual Property, if used, that the only Background Intellectual Property that need be identified is that necessary to perform the CRADA or practice the results of the CRADA, as appropriate. ARTICLE II: STATEMENT OF WORK, TERM, FUNDING AND COSTS ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: The following paragraph can be used for paragraph C for CRADAs where the Participant will send advance funds to the Contractor. The effective date of this CRADA shall be the latter date of (1) the date on which it is signed by the last of the Parties, (2) the date on which it is approved by DOE, or (3) the date on which the advance funding referred to in this Article is received by the Contractor. The work to be performed under this CRADA shall be completed within ______ months/years from the effective date. ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: The following paragraph can be used for paragraph D for CRADAs where the Participant will provide 100% funds for the CRADA. It is understood that the CRADA must include elements of collaboration between the Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 4 11-6-2013 Parties when Participant provides all the funding for the CRADA. The Participant’s estimated contribution is $ _____________________ .

ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Advance Payment and Funding The following provides advance payment funding requirements to be included in paragraph E. They are all consistent with current DOE policy on requiring advance payments, as elaborated in the DOE’s Financial Management Handbook, Chapter 13. Contract specialists will need to consult the handbook for the latest information. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: 1. Provision to be used for most Participants, where the work (for Participant’s funds-in share) is greater than $25,000 and will last longer than 60 days. The Participant shall provide to the Contractor, prior to any work being performed, a budgetary resource sufficient to cover anticipated work that will be performed for the Participants directly funded share for the first billing cycle. In addition, the Participant shall provide 60 days of additional funding to ensure that funds remain available for the Participants directly funded share for subsequent billing cycles. A billing cycle is the period of time between billings, usually 30 days. The billing cycle is complete when the customer is billed for services rendered. However, with Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Awards described under Chapter 13 of the Financial Management Handbook, the maximum funding that can be collected from the Participant may not exceed 30 days of work to be performed under the contract. Please see Chapter 13 for additional requirements and funding available for these types of awards. 2. Provision where the Participant’s contribution in direct funds to the contractor is $25,000 or less or where the work will be completed in 60 days or less: The Participant shall provide Contractor full funding prior to beginning work covered by those funds. However, with Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Awards described under Chapter 13 of the Financial Management Handbook, the maximum funding that can be collected from the Participant may not exceed 30 days of work to be performed under the contract. Please see Chapter 13 for additional requirements and funding available for these types of awards. 3. Additional Funding Requirements Field CFOs or Site Offices may require additional advance payments to account for estimated termination costs or other costs as appropriate for individual projects. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 5 4. No DOE budgetary resources under this CRADA shall be utilized to fund work directly to CRADA Participant. Exceptions to Funding Requirements Exceptions to DOE’s normal advance funding requirements can be found under Chapter 13 of the Financial Management Handbook. GENERAL GUIDANCE: The CRADA must include a Statement of Work, which must include a technical description of the scope encompassed by the proposed CRADA, including tasks, the party responsible for the tasks, and a list of deliverables (reports, prototypes, etc.). The Statement of Work should also include who the principal investigators for each party will be; the contact information for official notices unless an Additional Article For NOTICES (below) is added to the CRADA; who will provide what funds, personnel, services, and property; who will do what reporting on the work; and procedures for interaction between the parties to accomplish the Statement of Work, which is the objective of the CRADA. The parties may also wish to set forth levels of commitment to the CRADA, in terms of full-time equivalent numbers of various staff and personnel classifications.

Any Proprietary Information included in the Statement of Work should be clearly marked. However, Proprietary Information should not be included in the Statement of Work unless the parties consider it absolutely necessary to define the work. The name of the Participant cannot be considered proprietary. Cooperative research performed in CRADAs involves industrial Participants that have information which they consider to be of commercial value. Such commercially valuable information could possibly be divulged in the formal CRADA document, including the incorporated Statement of Work. Because taxpayer funds are used in the Government share of CRADAs, it is possible that there will be requests for public release of the formal CRADA document. Commercially valuable information that the Participant considers sensitive should not routinely be included in the CRADA, including the accompanying Statement of Work, unless specifically needed. Should DOE receive a request for public release of the formal CRADA document, only business-sensitive or proprietary information that qualifies under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) will be exempt from release after appropriate review. In accordance with this order, each CRADA must provide a benefit consistent with the program missions at the facility and the facility mission established by the Cognizant Secretarial Officer and must involve collaboration between the CRADA Participant and the DOE laboratory. CRADAs supported by 100% direct funds-in from the Participant must also include elements of in-kind contributions by the Participant. There must be a statement of funding for the CRADA, showing the estimated contributions of the parties. The statement must clearly state that the Government’s estimated contribution is provided through the contractor’s contract with DOE and is subject to available funding, except for 100% funds-in CRADAs, for which there is no Government contribution. The statement may indicate that the Participant’s contributions are also subject to availability of Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 6 11-6-2013 funds and should include provisions that describe the obligations of the parties relative to exceeding the estimated costs. If the cost of the CRADA exceeds the estimated contributions, then CRADA will need to be amended to increase the amounts. The statement of funding must include a provision addressing advance payment requirements whenever there are “funds-in” from the Participant. The contractor may not agree to waive advance payments unless the contractor is using its own funds (e.g., from royalties, award/management fees or non-Federal corporate funds). The contractor may, however, negotiate variations to the standard advance payment requirement for small businesses and others, consistent with Chapter 13 of DOE’s Financial Management Handbook. Program officers and Cognizant Secretarial Officers may provide supplemental guidance on funding and other issues to the contractor and operations or field office to help avoid surprises and ensure effective coordination of CRADAs and management of multi-year resource requirements. For example, there could be specific requirements to get either written approval from, or provide written notice to, the Cognizant Secretarial Officer and/or the appropriate program office for 100% funds-in CRADAs involving more than $1 million dollars total effort per year.

Under current DOE policy, funds previously obtained from Federal sources can be used to finance a non-Federal Participant’s share of a project. One of the purposes of CRADAs is to stimulate private investment in collaborations with laboratories. It is important that the overall program be supported with significant private funds. However, DOE generally is unconcerned if the funds for the Participant’s share of a specific CRADA come ultimately from some other Federal program, so long as the decision process for obtaining those funds precedes the final CRADA negotiation and the obtaining of those funds complies with the rules of that process. If the funds come from some other part of the Department, extra care must be taken to ensure that there is no real or apparent conflict of interest and that there is fairness of opportunity. Other contractual obligations of the Participant with respect to the Government are not overridden by this CRADA. ARTICLE III: PERSONAL PROPERTY ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Any of the following options could be used instead. OPTION 1: All tangible personal property produced or acquired under this CRADA (specifically excluding Intellectual Property rights, Background Intellectual Property, and Proprietary Information) shall become the property of the Participant or the Government, depending upon whose funds were used to obtain it. Personal property shall be disposed of as directed by the owner at the owner’s expense. There shall not be any jointly funded property under this CRADA except by the mutual agreement of the Parties. The Participant shall DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 7 maintain records of receipts, expenditures, and the disposition of all Government property in its custody related to the CRADA. OPTION 2: Participant shall have title to any tangible personal property the Contractor produces or acquires using solely the Participant’s funds under this CRADA whose cost is greater than $5,000 (unless identified otherwise in Annex A). The Government shall have title to all other tangible personal property produced or acquired by the Contractor. The Participant shall maintain records of receipts, expenditures, and the disposition of all Government property in its custody related to the CRADA and with a value greater than $5,000. OPTION 3: Laboratory Tangible Research Products (LTRP) Definition of Laboratory Tangible Research Products (LTRP) should be added to Article I if using this option: Participant shall have title to any tangible personal property the Contractor produces (other than Laboratory Tangible Research Products) or acquires using solely the Participant’s funds under this CRADA whose cost is greater than $5,000, unless identified otherwise in Annex A. The Government shall have title to all other tangible personal property produced or acquired by the Contractor. The Participant shall maintain records of receipts, expenditures, and the disposition of all Government property with a value greater than $___ in its custody related to the CRADA. ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Transferring Title of Property Personal property provided by the Participant for use in this CRADA may be permanently transferred to Government ownership, so long as the Parties mutually agree to such transfer, and an appropriate DOE or other Federal agency program representative verifies that the personal property would have continuing value to Government-funded research efforts. ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Inspecting Government Property

Where Government property will be under the Participant’s control, Contractors should include language regarding periodic access, inspection, inventory, and records of the property. In such a case, the Contractor may choose to add the following language: The Participant shall, with reasonable notice, grant to the Government and to the Contractor periodic access to Participant’s premises during regular business hours for the purposes of inspection of CRADA-related Government property in its custody. Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 8 11-6-2013 GENERAL GUIDANCE: There must be agreement among the parties as to who will retain what tangible property, if any is to be obtained, acquired, produced, or modified in the course of the CRADA. Remember that Government property disposal regulations pertain to any property in which Government money is involved. ARTICLE IV: DISCLAIMER GENERAL GUIDANCE: There must be a disclaimer of express or implied warranties as to the conduct of the research. This statement should be in the form of a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)-type disclaimer, which should be conspicuous in the CRADA so as to meet the standards of due notice. One way to do this is to use bold type, all capital letters, or to have an especially large type font specifying the disclaimer. ARTICLE V: PRODUCT LIABILITY OPTION 1: Use of Hold Harmless Provision As an alternate to using the standard language for product liability, a hold harmless provision may be substituted therefor, such as the following: Except for any liability resulting from any negligent acts or omissions of the Contractor or the Government, the Participant agrees to hold harmless the Government and the Contractor for all damages, costs, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising from personal injury or property damage occurring as a result of the making, using, or selling of a product, process, or service by or on behalf of the Participant, its assignees, or licensees, which was derived from the work performed under this CRADA. OPTION 2: States and State Agencies Most U.S. States prohibit indemnification obligations. Furthermore, State Agencies and State colleges or universities do not commercialize technology, but license it to third parties. Therefore, the following clause may be used when the CRADA involves a U.S. State, a State Agency, a State college or university, or a political subdivision of a State or an agency thereof: For licenses granted or assignment made by the Participant to any third party in Intellectual Property derived from the work performed under this CRADA, such licenses or assignments shall include the requirement that the third party shall indemnify the Government, Contractor, and Participant for all damages, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from personal injury or property damage occurring as a result of the making, using, or selling of a product, process, or service by or on behalf of such third party, its assignees, or licensees, provided, however, such third parties shall not be required to indemnify the Government, Contractor or DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 9 Participant for any negligent acts or omissions made by the Government, Contractor or Participant respectively. OPTION 3: Purchase of Product Liability Insurance

The Participant or the Contractor may agree to purchase and maintain adequate product liability insurance to protect the Government and the Contractor against product liability claims. The cost for this insurance shall not be charged directly or indirectly to the Government. Product liability insurance is appropriate for CRADAs when there is a high risk of personal injury or property damage from using the product, process, or service derived from work performed under the CRADA. An example of a suitable provision is: The (Participant, Contractor, or Parties) agree to obtain and maintain product liability insurance in the amount of $_____ during the life of this CRADA and subsequently for the life of any products, processes, or services resulting from work under the CRADA. The Government and the Contractor shall be covered against any claims for product liability as a result of this insurance. A copy of this product liability insurance policy shall be provided to both the Government and the Contractor, including any material modifications thereto, including any notices of termination. OPTION 4: Public Domain or Not Commercialized If the Participant will either put all intellectual property developed under the CRADA in the public domain (such as publishing the data and inventions, or releasing the information or not marking as Protected CRADA Information) or does not plan to commercialize, the following statement can used in place of a Product Liability clause: The Participant agrees that all of its Intellectual Property generated under this Agreement will be placed in the public domain (with the appropriate disclaimer) or the results will be a product, process, or service unlikely to be commercialized. Therefore, a standard Product Liability provision where the Participant would indemnify the Contractor and the Government is not included in this CRADA. GENERAL GUIDANCE: If the results of the research covered by the CRADA are restricted in any way for the purpose of commercialization (such as through patents, copyrights, or Protected CRADA Information), or if there is a specific, identifiable laboratory technology being transferred, there must be a provision that indemnifies the Contractor and the Government from all costs related to personal injury and property damage that may result from the Participant’s commercialization and use of a product, process, or service. The protection should usually take the form of the above provision on product liability. Special situations may provide for use of Option 4 where standard product liability provision is not used. Since the Contractor would license its Intellectual Property under its M&O Contract requiring product liability protection, this option is limited to the Participant Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 10 11-6-2013 agreeing not to commercialize its intellectual property. The following are examples of use of this option: (a) When the results will be a product, process, or service unlikely to be commercialized (e.g., basic research), circumstances must be such that they justify the exclusion of the product liability indemnity provision from the CRADA. Such determinations will be made on a case-by-case basis and will be supported by facts indicating there is little or no potential risk of liability to the Government or the Contractor. Approval from the DOE Contracting Officer will be required when this occurs.

(b) When the results are to be placed totally in the public domain (i.e., no Protected CRADA Information or Intellectual Property) and accompanied by a DOE-approved disclaimer; if the purpose of the CRADA is to provide information which is intended to be placed in the public domain with an appropriate disclaimer provision, a product liability provision need not be used. NOTE: If during the CRADA project, the Participant finds that the results will be a product, process, or service to be commercialized, then the CRADA can be amended to include a standard Product Liability clause. If the CRADA is completed, the Participant will need to execute a side agreement for product liability to protect the Contractor and Government. If the Participant is a state entity (e.g. U.S. state university or college), the phrase “to the extent permitted by [name of state] State law“ may be added to the beginning of the clause in the DOE Model CRADA. This is only permissible per letter from the state Attorney General for particular states, this provision may be suitably modified or deleted with DOE Contracting Officer approval after conferring with local Patent Counsel. ARTICLE VI: RIGHTS IN SUBJECT INVENTIONS PARAGRAPH A: The Contractor, with approval of local Patent Counsel, may tailor its own Laboratory Model CRADA language for providing rights for the Participant and Contractor regarding ownership of Subject Inventions in lieu of the standard version in the CRADA. The invention rights provisions in a CRADA should insure timely reporting and patenting of Subject Inventions. As prudence dictates modifying any deadlines (e.g. reporting) contained in the clause to better implement changes in the laws, the Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property will provide model language. ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Joint Inventions can also be addressed in Paragraph A by adding the following clause: For Subject Inventions that are joint Subject Inventions of the Contractor and the Participant, title to such Subject Inventions shall be jointly owned by the Contractor and the Participant. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 11 ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Requiring Cooperation in Preparing Patent Applications: If a patent application is filed by the non-inventing Party (“Filing Party”), the inventing Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Filing Party, at the Filing Party’s expense, in executing a written assignment of the Subject Invention to the Filing Party and in otherwise perfecting the patent application, and the Filing Party shall have the right to control the prosecution of the patent application. The Parties shall agree among themselves as to who will file patent applications on any joint Subject Invention. ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Cross Licensing Provision Each Party grants the other Party a nonexclusive, transferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or to have practiced for or on behalf of that Party every Subject Invention arising out of this CRADA throughout the world, with a right to grant sublicenses of no greater scope to others. ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Commercializing In Different Countries When it is appropriate for each party to lead commercialization in different countries, and the paragraphs regarding filing of patent applications and costs have been addressed, the following provisions may be added:

1. The Contractor grants to Participant an exclusive, royalty-free license, including the right to sublicense, in each patent application filed in ____________[country] on any Contractor Subject Invention and any resulting patent in ____________[country] from such patent application in which the Contractor acquires title. The Participant grants to Contractor an exclusive, royalty-free license, including the right to sublicense, in each patent application filed in the United States on any Participant Subject Invention and any resulting patent in the United States from such patent application in which the Participant acquires title. 2. Each Party grants to the other Party a nonexclusive, transferable irrevocable, paid- up license to practice or to have practiced for or on behalf of that Party every Subject Invention arising out of this CRADA in any country other than ____________[country] or the United States, with a right to grant sublicenses of no greater scope to others. ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE: Laboratory Subcontracts If the Contractor will be issuing subcontracts to perform work listed in the Statement of Work of the CRADA, and where the subcontracts are not funded with Federal funds or are otherwise subject to exceptional circumstances (e.g. 37 C.F.R. 401.3), there should be a paragraph addressing the Participant’s option for a field-of-use license in the subcontractor’s subject inventions in compliance with National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (see General Guidance section below regarding the ACT). Also, the Contractor should ensure that similar requirements are in the subcontract with the Subcontractor. Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 12 11-6-2013 The following definitions should be added to Article I: “Subcontractor” means a subcontractor of the Contractor or Participant at any tier. The following paragraph should be added to this Article: For each Subject Invention made by a Subcontractor of the Contractor performing work under this CRADA, Participant shall have the option during and for a period of _________ months after the Subject Invention of the Contractor’s Subcontractor is reported to DOE and Contractor, to obtain a license within the field of use that Participant and Contractor have agreed upon. The license shall be on reasonable terms and conditions agreed upon by Participant and the Subcontractor, including the payment of negotiated license fees and royalties. General Guidance: If Federal funds (from Contractor or Participant’s funds-in) are used and no exceptional circumstance exists (e.g. 37 C.F.R. 401.3), Bayh-Dole applies such that the subcontractor does not have to provide an exclusive license to Participant. If the Subcontractor does not qualify under Bayh-Dole (i.e., large business), then a patent waiver may need to be issued by DOE Patent Counsel. ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Exclusive License to Participant. The Parties can modify the standard preamble to this Article by replacing “and wherein the Participant has the option to choose an exclusive license, for reasonable compensation, for a pre-negotiated field of use to the Contractor’s Subject Invention” with the following: The Participant acknowledges that the Contractor has offered to the Participant the option to choose an exclusive license for a pre-negotiated field of use for reasonable compensation for any Subject Invention made in whole or in part by a Contractor employee. ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE: Exclusive License to Participant.

The following options can be used as Additional Paragraphs defining the length of time that the Participant has to notify the Contractor of exercising the exclusive right: OPTION 1: The Participant has the option for ___ (insert a time period of not less than 6 months) after Contractor Subject Invention is disclosed to the Participant to choose an exclusive license in Contractor’s Subject Inventions in the field of use of______________ (insert the field of use negotiated between the Parties). OPTION 2: During the term of this CRADA and for a period of 6 months after the termination or completion of the CRADA, the Participant shall have the opportunity, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 3710a, to obtain a license to Contractor’s Subject Inventions. In particular, the Participant shall have the option to obtain, up to and including, an exclusive license to DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 13 Contractor’s Subject Inventions within a defined field of use on agreed-upon reasonable terms and conditions, including the payment of negotiated license fees and royalties. OPTION 3: In Annex ___, the Parties have negotiated greater rights in the Contractors Subject Inventions pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 3710a. OPTION 4: The Participant has the option for ___(insert a time period) plus a period of not more than 6 months after completion or termination of this CRADA to choose an exclusive license in Contractor’s Subject Inventions in the field of use of______________(insert the field of use negotiated between the Parties). ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE: Background Intellectual Property Usually, a list of the Background Intellectual Property (BIP) is attached to the CRADA as an Annex and referenced in the definition for BIP. This provides an easy way to amend the list as the CRADA progresses and also might be protectable under FOIA. Since the notice of existing BIP is to inform the Participant of existing technology that might need to be licensed to practice Subject Inventions, the language below can be modified such that only the Contractor is required to provide a list of BIP. The Parties can add the following paragraph to reference the Annex and remove the annex reference in the definition: Each Party may use the other Party’s Background Intellectual Property identified in Annex ___ of this CRADA solely in performance of research under the Statement of Work. This CRADA does not grant to either Party any option, grant, or license to commercialize, or otherwise use the other Party’s Background Intellectual Property. Licensing of Background Intellectual Property, if agreed to by the Parties, shall be the subject of separate licensing agreements between the Parties. Each Party has used reasonable efforts to list all relevant Background Intellectual Property, but Background Intellectual Property may exist that is not identified. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party because of failure to list Background Intellectual Property. GENERAL GUIDANCE: The CRADA must include an article which sets forth the allocation of rights to Subject Inventions between the parties. Through a class waiver at each laboratory, DOE has provided the Participant with title to inventions made by employees of the Participant. These class waivers extended the March-In Rights to Participant’s Subject Inventions. The terms and conditions of that waiver have been effectively changed by P.L. 104-113 (the National Technology Transfer Act of 1995, hereinafter in this guidance, the “ACT”) to include a field of use license granted to the Participant in Subject Inventions made in whole or in part by the contractor and the Government license and march-in rights contained in the ACT. The

Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 14 11-6-2013 article must indicate that DOE retains rights for Subject Inventions for which a party to the CRADA does not file patent applications or maintain patents. The article must also provide that the Government retains a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or to have practiced for or on behalf of the United States every Subject Invention under the CRADA throughout the world. (Authority: 35 U.S.C. 202(c)(2) for DOE’s nonprofit management and operating contractors entering into CRADAs and by DOE policy for other management and operating contractors and CRADA Participants.) It is a statutory requirement that the Participant be offered an exclusive license in Contractor’s Subject Inventions. This should be documented in the preamble or by using one of the options above. This may be used in conjunction with other language allocating invention rights where the Contractor retains title to its inventions. In some cases a Participant may not want the CRADA to include the option to choose the field of use license. To ensure that it is documented that the statutorily required option has been offered in those cases, it is suggested that a pre-agreement notice or other correspondence with a potential Participant provide a notice to the Participant about the option. In this situation, the Contractor should include an acknowledgment of the notice in the CRADA. In addition, Subcontractors to the Contractor may be required to offer the Participant an exclusive license in their Subject Inventions pursuant to exceptional circumstances, such as in 37 C.F.R. 401.3. Similarly, where the subcontract is not funded with Federal funds and the subcontractor receives title to Subject Inventions under a patent waiver pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 784, the waiver of patent rights may be conditioned on granting such option to the Participant. The exclusive license itself, per the ACT, may be only in exchange for reasonable compensation, when appropriate, and subject only to reasonable terms and conditions associated with obtaining reasonable compensation, for example, minimum annual royalty payments, objective performance obligations, contributions to the costs of prosecution and litigation to maintain a patent and other commercially reasonable terms, shall satisfy the statutory requirement of “for reasonable compensation.” Failure of the Participant to fulfill any of its obligations in the negotiated exclusive license is cause for termination of such license and not in violation of the ACT. Although these are the types of terms that may be reasonable in appropriate circumstances, DOE does not require that any or all of these terms be a condition of the license in all circumstances. Additionally, the exclusive license may be limited to a negotiated field of use. In accordance with the ACT, the license must provide the Participant with the right of enforcement under Chapter 29 of Title 35 U.S.C. The Contractor should document the terms of the option and whether the option was exercised or not. Paragraph G requires future reporting of use of intellectual property, which would most likely be commercialization of patents. The Participant should recognize that the Department has a need to measure economic outcomes of CRADAs and the Department through the Contractor may request long-term economic data (e.g., the results of commercializing products, processes, or services based on the CRADA, compliance with US Competitiveness provision of Article VIII). Such follow-up surveys are already being

DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 15 done for R&D 100 award-winning technologies without intruding into sensitive market or financial information. Measurement of the outcomes of cooperative research, both for the Department and for the Participant, is a very important aspect of the Department’s Technology Partnerships activity. Examples of the types of long-term economic data that could be sought include jobs created/lost/retained, increases in market share, and sales increases. Surveys would be done in such a way that answers are provided in broad categories (i.e., 1-50 jobs created, etc.) in a “check-the-box” approach. Mechanisms used to gather the information could include customer surveys, third-party personal interviews, and third-party studies commissioned by the Department. The Department has decided on 5 year period since implementation of the intellectual property developed under the CRADA may take several years and the impact of such use may not be realized until 5 years has passed. However, this period may be reduced with DOE Contracting Officer approval where the Participant openly demonstrates why a shorter time is more appropriate based on the research being performed under the CRADA. Likewise, the Contracting Officer may increase the period in cases where a DOE programmatic need arises. ARTICLE VII: RIGHTS IN DATA ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: For Paragraph A: A. The Parties and the Government shall have unlimited rights in all Generated Information produced or provided by a Party under this CRADA, except for information which is: (a) disclosed in a Subject Invention disclosure being considered for patent protection, (b) protected as a mask work or (c) marked as being copyrighted or as Protected CRADA Information or as Proprietary Information. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: for Paragraph B. OPTION 1: B. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: Each Party agrees not to disclose Proprietary Information provided by the other Party to anyone other than the CRADA Participant and Contractor without written approval of the providing Party, except to Government employees who are subject to 18 U.S.C. 1905. To the extent that any Generated Information discloses or duplicates Proprietary Information, such Generated Information shall be marked and treated as Proprietary Information. Disclosures of Proprietary Information to DOE employees shall occur only on site at the Contractor’s facilities unless mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The Contractor and DOE shall limit their respective internal disclosure of Proprietary Information to those employees or agents having a need to know such information. Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 16 11-6-2013 OPTION 2 B. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: All information marked as Proprietary Information shall be protected by the recipient as Proprietary Information for a period of _____ years from receipt of such Proprietary Information when clearly dated, otherwise from the effective date of this CRADA, unless, as shown by the recipient, such Proprietary Information becomes publicly known without the fault of the recipient, comes into recipient’s possession from a third party without an obligation of confidentiality on the recipient, is independently developed by recipient’s employees who did not have access to such Proprietary Information, is released by the disclosing Party to a third party without restriction, or is released for disclosure with the written consent of the disclosing Party.

OPTION 3: No Proprietary Information. If the Parties agree that no Proprietary Information will be shared between the Parties in order to perform the tasks in the Statement of Work, the following language could be used. However, the following clause can be replaced by amending the CRADA if the Parties decide to share proprietary information during the performance of the project: B. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: The Parties agree that no Proprietary Information will be shared between the Parties. ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPHS: Any of following additional paragraphs can be added to Paragraph B of the Article: 1) Proprietary Information in tangible form shall be returned to the disclosing Party or destroyed with a certificate of destruction submitted to the disclosing Party upon termination or expiration of this CRADA, or during the term of this CRADA upon request by the disclosing Party. 2) All Proprietary Information shall be returned to the provider thereof at the conclusion of this CRADA at the provider’s expense. 3) In no case shall the Contractor provide Proprietary Information of the Participant to any person or entity for commercial purposes, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Participant. 4) Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph B, both Parties agree that a subcontractor identified in the Statement of Work may receive Proprietary Information to the extent necessary to perform the activities assigned to the subcontractor as set forth in the Statement of Work provided that the subcontractor agrees in writing to comply with the requirements set forth in this Article. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 17 GENERAL GUIDANCE REGARDING PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: The definition in Article I (complying with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and Stevenson-Wydler statute (15 U.S.C. 3710 a(c)(7)(A)), clearly indicates that Proprietary Information is “information embodying trade secrets developed outside the CRADA at private expense.” The contractor cannot negotiate away the right of a Government employee, subject to 18 U.S.C. 1905, to see Proprietary Information. The contractor should seek additional rights to Proprietary Information at the DOE laboratory where program needs require rights greater than those prescribed in the CRADA clauses (e.g., including limiting the period in which Proprietary Information is maintained as proprietary when such information is retained by the contractor). Such disclosure to the Government may require marking with both Proprietary Information and OUO as required under DOE O 471.3 Identifying and Protecting Official Use Only Information. The obligations of the parties with regard to Proprietary Information should require that all such materials be sufficiently identified and marked so that the personnel involved in the project will have no trouble understanding what materials are to be protected. The parties should stipulate whether the contractor will return such materials, destroy them, or keep them at the end of work on the CRADA. If information could not be protected as a valid trade secret, or commercial or financial information, it should not be protected under the CRADA. If the parties will be using software, biological materials, specimen materials, equipment, or other tangible personal property which a party wants to protect as proprietary, such items should be included in the definition of Proprietary Information to ensure such protection. Additional materials can be found at 48 CFR 927.400. In certain projects, a separate Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) or software license may be appropriate to protect the parties and define the use of such items. Reference to the existence of such MTA or license may be appropriate within the CRADA or Statement of Work.

The Parties may wish to return Proprietary Information before the conclusion of the CRADA, when such information is no longer needed for CRADA work. The Parties may want to address situations in which Proprietary Information is in electronic form and cannot necessarily be returned to the providing Party or completely destroyed without incurring considerable expenses. For example, electronic communications such as emails are often stored in backup files, tapes, or otherwise be part of a party’s permanent business records. The Parties may agree to exempt these types of files or tapes. PROTECTED CRADA INFORMATION ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Fundamental Research under Export Control Law Some University M&O Contractors have many foreign employees and students and comply with export control law through the fundamental research safe-harbor. Also, Part 734.8(c) of the Export Administration Regulation extends the “fundamental research” designation to FFRDCs (Federally Funded Research and Development Centers) and the language below Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 18 11-6-2013 regarding “higher education” can be appropriately modified. In either case, the Participant may want to protect its own data. Therefore, the first paragraph of this subsection in the DOE Model CRADA could be replaced with the following paragraph where only the Participant’s generated information is marked: Except where a Participant’s funding agreement prohibits such protection, the Participant may designate and mark as Protected CRADA Information any Generated Information produced by its employees, which meets the definition in Article I. Because the Contractor is part of an institution of higher education and intends to conduct its activities as fundamental research under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, the Contractor does not intend to mark any of its Generated Information as Protected CRADA Information. All such designated Protected CRADA Information shall be appropriately marked. ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Last subparagraph of this Paragraph C could be replaced with the following: The obligations of this paragraph shall end sooner for any Protected CRADA Information which shall become publicly known without fault of either Party, shall be independently developed outside of the CRADA by a Party’s employees who did not have access to the Protected CRADA Information, or is disclosed through a product released by the Participant. If recipient receives any information independently developed by a third party without any obligation of confidentiality which is similar to Protected CRADA Information, disclosure by recipient of such third party information shall not be a breach of this CRADA. ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Subcontractor’s Data If some of the CRADA is done by subcontractors, the following changes can be made: The following definitions should be added to Article I: “Subcontractor” means a subcontractor of the Contractor or Participant at any tier. The following paragraph should be added to the Rights in Data Article: Each Party may designate and mark as Protected CRADA Information any Generated Information produced by its employees or Subcontractors, which meets the definition in Article I and, with the agreement of the other Party, so designate any Generated Information produced by the other Party’s employees or Subcontractors which meets the definition in Article I. All such designated Protected CRADA Information shall be appropriately marked.

ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE: Other Protected Data Category. The definition for Other Protected Data must be added to Article I when this provision is used in the CRADA. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 19 OTHER PROTECTED DATA: The Participant may designate data delivered to the Contractor by the Participant as Other Protected Data provided the data meets the definition of Article I and the data is marked in accordance with the award, contract, or other agreement that provides for the protection of the data. The Contractor shall comply with the markings to the extent that the markings are authorized by the award, contract, other agreement, or statutory authority. GENERAL GUIDANCE REGARDING PROTECTED CRADA INFORMATION: The wording of the definition for Protected CRADA Information should be along the lines of the Stevenson-Wydler statute (15 U.S.C. 3710a(c)(7)(B)) and placed in the Definitions article to support the substantive clause on protecting this information. The CRADA must include a requirement that designated Protected CRADA Information be appropriately marked. The Contractor cannot negotiate away the right to share Protected CRADA Information with Government employees covered under 18 U.S.C. 1905. Also, the Contractor cannot negotiate away DOE’s right to share Protected CRADA Information with other DOE facilities having the same protection in place without the approval of the DOE operations or field office responsible for the CRADA. Such disclosure to the Government or other DOE facilities may require marking with both Protected CRADA Information and OUO as required under DOE O 471.3 Identifying and Protecting Official Use Only Information. Any delivery to DOE of Protected CRADA Information will be to implement the following policy: (a) ensure that anticipated DOE mission benefit is received from CRADAs; (b) avoid duplication of expense and effort; (c) help to advance technology; and (d) enable DOE to meet statutory requirements to disseminate information after the expiration of the withholding period. Software may be marked as Protected CRADA Information, but that restriction only applies to the source code. Software has been exempted from the requirement of getting approval from the Contracting Officer to share with other facilities. The new software copyright provision (see below) requires deposit of CRADA generated software in OSTI/ESTSC and therefore the object code can be shared under the Government’s copyright license. The parties should negotiate the respective responsibilities for marking Generated Information that meets the definition of Protected CRADA Information and the obligations that will attach to such information. Generated Information that is marked Protected CRADA Information cannot be protected for more than the statutory maximum of 5 years from the date it is produced. The determination as to which Generated Information is to be marked as Protected CRADA Information shall be made when the Generated Information is produced, not at the end of the CRADA. Also, if the Participant is using Federal funds to perform at least some of the work, the terms of that Federal funding agreement with regard to protection of data should apply (i.e., the time period in the Federal funding agreement is the maximum allowed to mark information as Protected CRADA Information) even if such protections under the CRADA could be greater than the terms of the Federal funding. The parties shall embody the rights and obligations in an appropriate legend. The parties should negotiate the term for which it will be protected and the obligations of the parties with regard to such Protected CRADA Information. The Contractor may license its Protected CRADA Information as long as it doesn’t violate the release restrictions set forth in this

Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 20 11-6-2013 article. If no protection is needed or when protection is no longer permitted, the parties should quickly publish the Generated Information when possible. Per DOE Directive DOE O 241.1B, Generated Information in the form of final reports or other scientific and technical information (STI) that is marked as Protected CRADA Information and final reports or STI for which no protection is needed should be submitted to DOE’s Office of Scientific and Technical Information. The parties should also be careful to appropriately mark as Protected CRADA Information in human-readable form onto all physical media and in digitally encoded form in all machine-readable information. COPYRIGHTS ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: The first paragraph containing the rights of the Parties with regards to copyright can be replaced with the following: Each Party shall have the first option to assert copyright in works authored by its employees. Copyrights in co-authored works by employees of the Parties shall be held jointly, and use by either Party shall be without accounting. A Party electing not to assert copyright in a work authored by its employees agrees to assign such copyright to the other Party upon the request of, and at the expense of, the other Party. ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Technical Manual, Film and Digital Media The first paragraph could be replaced with the following if the Parties intend the copyrighted work to be contained within a Technical Manual, book, film, digital media, etc. However, the rights of the Parties could be defined in this paragraph instead of using an Annex. All Participant and Contractor copyrights to original information for which authorship takes place during the performance of work under this CRADA shall be owned and licensed as set forth in Annex ___ subject to any obligation of protection as required in this article. COMPUTER SOFTWARE: If the CRADA will develop Computer Software, then the computer software definition should be added to Article I and paragraph (D) replaced in its entirety as follows: In Article I, add a definition for Computer Software as follows: “Computer Software” means (i) computer programs that comprise a series of instructions, rules, routines, or statements, regardless of the media in which recorded, that allow or cause a computer to perform a specific operation or series of operations; and (ii) recorded information comprising source code listings, design details, algorithms, processes, flow charts, formulas, and related material that would enable the computer program to be produced, created, or compiled. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 21 In the Rights in Data Article, replace the entire section (D) COPYRIGHT with the following: (D) COPYRIGHT: The Parties may assert Copyright in any of their Generated Information. Assertion of Copyright generally means to enforce or give an indication of an intent or right to enforce such as by marking or securing Federal registration. Copyrights in co-authored works by employees of the Parties shall be held jointly, and use by either Party shall be without accounting. COMPUTER SOFTWARE: For all Computer Software produced in the performance of this CRADA, the Parties shall provide an Announcement Notice, AN 241.4 Software Announcement Notice, along with providing the source code, the executable object code and the minimum support documentation needed by a competent user to understand and use the Computer Software to DOE’s Energy Science and Technology Software Center (ESTSC) via www.osti.gov/estsc. The source code of the Computer Software may be marked as Protected CRADA Information in accordance with this Article; however, the Government’s use of the executable object code is governed by the applicable license below.

[The Parties can negotiate ownership and license rights to software and other copyrighted generated data developed under this CRADA.] COMMENT: Many Laboratories may want to negotiate license rights in a separate agreement because use of software under a license will extend beyond the completion of the CRADA. The Laboratory should ensure that if there is an exclusive license to the Participant, that there is a right to license to third parties similar to march-in rights when Participant isn’t commercializing the Laboratory’s software. Therefore the Laboratory may want to use the following suggested statement: Under a separate agreement, the Contractor will grant the Participant a license in Contractor’s Computer Software. If the grant is for an exclusive license, the separate agreement will include “march-in rights.” For Generated Information that is Copyrighted Computer Software produced by a Party, the Party shall inform DOE’s ESTSC when it abandons or no longer commercializes the Copyrighted Computer Software. Until such notice to ESTSC, the Government has for itself and others acting on its behalf, a royalty-free, nontransferable, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, and perform publicly and display publicly, by or on behalf of the Government. (narrow license) After the Party owning the Copyrighted Computer Software abandons or no longer commercializes the Copyrighted Computer Software, the Government has for itself and others acting on its behalf, a royalty-free, nontransferable, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies to the public, and perform publicly and display publicly, by or on behalf of the Government. (broad license) Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 22 11-6-2013 For all other Generated Information where a Party asserts copyright in copyrightable works produced in the performance of this CRADA, the Government has for itself and others acting on its behalf, a royalty-free, nontransferable, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies to the public, and perform publicly and display publicly, by or on behalf of the Government, subject to the restrictions this Article places on publication of Proprietary Information and Protected CRADA Information. The Parties agree to place Copyright and other notices, as appropriate for the protection of Copyright, in human-readable form onto all physical media, and in digitally encoded form in the header of machine-readable information recorded on such media such that the notice will appear in human-readable form when the digital data are off loaded or the data are accessed for display or printout. GENERAL GUIDANCE REGARDING COPYRIGHT:

DOE authorizes the Participant and the contractor to assert copyright in Generated Information. The parties must grant to the United States an irrevocable, paid-up copyright license to any and all works that come out of the project and may be copyrightable. For Computer Software, the Government retains a narrow license (without the right to distribute copies to the public) that will become a broad license after the Participant decides to abandon or not commercialize the software. However, there may be circumstances where DOE Program may require the broad license only (or Open Source Software distribution) for programmatic reasons and the above double underlined language will need to be appropriately modified by DOE Patent Counsel. The Contractor shall follow section (e)(1)(i) of M&O Contract clause 970.5227-24 Rights in Data-Technology Transfer (formally DEAR 970.5227-2) that allows “the Contractor to copyright data first produced under a CRADA…as described in the individual CRADA.” Therefore, no DOE Program approval is necessary and only reporting requirements to Patent Counsel and ESTSC apply. The Contractor shall follow its M&O Contract clauses regarding abandoning the commercialization of any software generated under the CRADA. The parties may also negotiate reciprocal licenses among themselves. As an alternative, the parties can agree as part of the CRADA to negotiate the software license rights each party is to receive upon the production and copyright of software under the CRADA. The contractor must ensure that all copyrighted works are available to other DOE contractors for Governmental purposes. Except for computer software, any restriction on the Government and others acting by or on behalf of the Government of the right to prepare derivative works or the right to use any copyrighted Generated Information must also be approved by the Contracting Officer of the local DOE field office with concurrence by DOE Patent Counsel. All Computer Software, whether copyrighted or not, must be deposited in ESTSC. The Parties may mark Computer Software as Protected CRADA Information (PCI); however, that protection extends only to the source code. The Government retains a narrow license in the object code to be used for Government purposes. When the PCI protection expires (if applicable), the Government can use the source code under the narrow license. Copies of all Participant generated computer software on which copyright protection will be asserted must be delivered to the Energy Science and Technology Software Center (ESTSC) DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 23 by the Participant. If the contractor and Participant agree to protect computer software for 5 years by marking it as Protected CRADA Information, the applicability of the DOE march- in rights will most likely be delayed for such period unless there is a clear indication that the Participant refuses to commercialize the computer software generated by the Contractor under the CRADA in which the Participant has an exclusive license. Most likely, an exclusive license of Contractor’s software would be covered under a separate agreement and should include march-in rights where the Participant is required to commercialize or the Contractor may license to third parties. The Participant should be given a right of appeal this march-in right. If the Participant is only granted a non-exclusive license in Contractor’s computer software, then the Contractor may license the software non-exclusively to third parties.

ARTICLE VIII: U.S. COMPETITIVENESS OPTION: If a Net Benefit Statement is approved by DOE. If the Participant is unable or unwilling, in advance, to meet the requirements of Article VIII.A., this language will be substituted for paragraph A. A. A plan for providing net benefit to the U.S. economy is attached in Annex _____. ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: If Participant wants the option to submit a Net Benefit Statement in the future, the following paragraph can be added. If the Participant is willing to commit to paragraph A, but would like the option to submit a Net Benefit Statement after considering the impact of commercializing the Intellectual Property developed under the CRADA, this language may be added as an additional paragraph C: C. If the Participant later finds that it cannot meet the requirements of Paragraph A above, the Participant will submit a plan for providing net benefit to the US economy to DOE. If such plan is approved by DOE, it shall be incorporated into this CRADA by an amendment to be executed by the Parties. If the CRADA is completed or terminated and DOE approves of the plan, the DOE Contracting Officer shall issue an approval letter. GENERAL GUIDANCE: The CRADA must include an article which sets forth the parties’ agreement with respect to benefits to accrue to the U.S. economy as a result of the CRADA. The preferred benefit is that any products embodying any Intellectual Property resulting from the performance of the CRADA shall be manufactured substantially in the United States This must be the laboratories’ opening negotiating position for all CRADAs. Thus, any specific laboratory “model” CRADAs must include a U.S. manufacturing commitment for products embodying Intellectual Property, not just inventions. Contractors shall ensure that adequate benefits are being secured for the U.S. taxpayer for the commercialization worldwide of Intellectual Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 24 11-6-2013 Property arising under the CRADA. Commitment to alternative benefits as part of, or in conjunction with, this article are acceptable in certain situations and are provided for in this guidance. The Government, in funding CRADAs, is seeking to transfer technology to companies with significant manufacturing and research facilities in the United States in a way which will provide short- and long-term benefits to the U.S. economy and the industrial competitiveness of such companies. The Department’s policy on U.S. competitiveness is based on the fact that billions of taxpayer dollars have paid for the research at DOE laboratories. Before technology is transferred from DOE laboratories, we as negotiator/agents are required to ensure that the taxpayers will receive some return on their investment. The preferred benefit to the U.S. economy is the creation and maintenance of manufacturing capabilities and jobs within the United States. However, if a potential Participant cannot identify increased U.S. jobs as a result of the technology being transferred, some other substantial economic benefit to the U.S. economy must be identified. DOE policy on U.S. competitiveness is stated in the memorandum of February 10, 1993, issued by the Director of Technology Utilization. DOE policy is summarized in the following list:  It is DOE policy for the laboratories, in their selection of CRADA Participants, to give preference to business units located in the United States which agree to substantially manufacture resulting technology in the United States.

 DOE will approve, as exceptions, agreements with some Participants on the basis of contractual commitments to appropriate alternative benefits to the U.S. economy. Exceptions must be based on specific information and not generic assertions.  When there are multiple partnering opportunities in a common technical or technology area, and limitations on resources for partnering, preference should be given to partnerships that accept the requirement for substantial U.S. manufacturing.  The U.S. competitiveness aspects of prospective CRADA Participants and CRADAs will be resolved as up-front matters, before execution of the CRADA. Departure from U.S. competitiveness commitments made by CRADA Participants can be a basis for stopping work under the CRADA and will be considered as background information in any future CRADA negotiation with the same CRADA Participant. When optional paragraph C is used, it should also be emphasized to prospective CRADA Participants that, once they give these U.S. competitiveness related assurances to DOE, their departure from the standard U.S. Competitiveness provision may result in prolonged negotiations. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 25  DOE, in its policy on U.S. competitiveness, distinguishes among products, which are manufactured, and processes and services, which are practiced or implemented. In the context of a multi-national firm, it may be advantageous to the U.S. economy and to the competitive position of the firm for a process or service to be implemented worldwide as quickly as possible. On March 17, 2011, the Secretary of Energy issued a memorandum stating that the current U.S. Competitiveness policy would be retained, but encouraged streamlining the process for negotiating alternate net benefit statements in cases where the parties seek modification to U.S. manufacture obligations. Where a CRADA Participant is unable or unwilling to agree to the model U.S. Competitiveness provision, then the Contractor should provide the Participant with a U.S. Competitiveness Questionnaire (See Attachment 8) or other form that has been approved by DOE. The Contractor can transmit the completed Questionnaire to DOE Field Office or inform the Participant to contact the local DOE Patent Counsel or the designated DOE Field Office personnel responsible for technology transfer matters (hereinafter, the Reviewing Office). The worksheet contains criteria that the reviewing officials may use in deciding whether U.S. Competitiveness requirements have been satisfied. Early communication between the Reviewing Office, the Contractor, and the Participant is strongly encouraged in order to develop a suitable Net Benefit Statement (NBS) as rapidly as feasible. Final Net Benefit Statements should be submitted to the Reviewing Office as soon as practicable. The Reviewing Office is responsible for reviewing and determining whether the proposed NBS is sufficient or needs to be further negotiated. The Reviewing Office will have ten (10) business days from receipt of the NBS submission to approve, reject, or seek modifications to the NBS terms. If the Reviewing Office rejects the proposed NBS, the Reviewing Office, the Contractor, or the Participant may offer revisions to the proposed NBS. The Reviewing Office will have five (5) business days from the receipt of any revisions to determine whether the revised NBS is sufficient.

If the foregoing cycle period(s) has elapsed without a determination (e.g., approval, denial, or a request for revision or the parties otherwise reach an impasse), the Reviewing Office should submit the NBS to the DOE Technology Transfer Coordinator and to the Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property (GC-62) for expedited review. The DOE Technology Transfer Coordinator, in consultation with GC-62 and the cognizant DOE Program Office, shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Reviewing Office with a formal recommendation on the sufficiency of the NBS within five (5) business days. The Reviewing Office shall use reasonable best efforts to make its final determination on the sufficiency of the NBS within five (5) business days of reviewing the formal recommendation. Once a NBS is approved by the Reviewing Office, the Reviewing Office should send a courtesy copy of the approved NBS to the DOE Technology Transfer Coordinator and to the Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property. The Secretary empowered the General Counsel to prepare guidance on streamlining the NBS process. To that end, the General Counsel may issue further guidance updating or supplementing the foregoing procedure. Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 26 11-6-2013 When CRADAs involve foreign entities, additional factors must be addressed. Under Executive Order 12591, when considering whether to enter into a CRADA with a foreign company, and after reference to information from the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), appropriate consideration must be given to (1) whether the foreign company and/or its government permit and encourage U.S. entities to enter into similar agreements on a comparable basis; (2) whether the foreign government has policies to protect Intellectual Property rights; and (3) when the research will involve or produce technologies subject to U.S. national security export controls, whether the foreign government has adequate measures to protect the transfer of the technology to prohibited locations. Consideration of the first factor is also required under 15 U.S.C. 3710a(c)(4)(B). Also, if the funds come from some other part of the Department, extra care must be taken to ensure that U.S. Competitiveness is handled in a manner consistent with such Department funding. For example, if a DOE Cooperative Agreement to the CRADA Participant has unique U.S. Competitiveness provision, the CRADA with the Participant should reference such provision. Similarly if the project is occurring under an International Agreement or Treaty, the U.S. Competitiveness provision should be consistent with such International Agreement or Treaty. ARTICLE IX: EXPORT CONTROL ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Classified Information. The following approved language was developed to address foreign ownership, control, or influence issues with respect to the Participant. It should only be used for those CRADAs involving access to classified information, access to special nuclear materials, or unescorted access to security areas of Departmental facilities. If the CRADA involves access to classified information, access to special nuclear materials, or unescorted access to security areas of Departmental facilities, the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, must be met, this article of the CRADA should be retitled “Export Control/Foreign Ownership and Control,” and language pertaining to FOCI should be added along with the Definitions for Foreign Interests and FOCI. The completed FOCI questionnaire attached hereto as Attachment 7 must be completed by the Participant and included as an annex to the CRADA.

The Participant has a continuing obligation to provide the Contractor written notice of any changes in the nature and extent of foreign ownership, control, or influence over the Participant which would affect the Participant’s answers to the previously completed FOCI certification. ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Some University M&O Contractors have many foreign employees and students. They strictly limit data developed at their facilities to be technology that would meet Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Section 99 designation. As such, it would be considered fundamental research and there would be no restrictions on its publications. The following language may be used: DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 27 The parties understand that materials and information resulting from the performance of this CRADA may be subject to export control laws and that each party is responsible for its own compliance with such laws. Participant acknowledges that the Contractor has many foreign employees and students. The Participant agrees that the Contractor will conduct this project as fundamental research with no restrictions on publication. Accordingly, the Contractor does not intend to mark any of its Generated Information as Protected CRADA Information and the Participant agrees not to direct the Contractor to create export controlled information and not to transfer to Principal Investigator or to other employees or students of the Contractor any Proprietary Information or Protected CRADA Information that is export controlled under the Export Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or 10 CFR 810. GENERAL GUIDANCE: There must be an export control warning statement to warn the parties that material and information resulting from the CRADA may be export controlled. This statement should be conspicuous, like the Uniform Commercial Code-like disclaimer. ARTICLE X: REPORTS AND PUBLICATIONS ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Paragraph B-- a more detailed review process for approving publications can be used: The Parties anticipate that their employees may wish to publish technical developments and/or research findings generated in the course of this CRADA. On the other hand, the Parties recognize that an objective of this CRADA is to provide business advantages to the Participant. In order to reconcile publication and business concerns, the Parties agree to a review proposed public disclosures as follows: 1. Each Party (“Submitter”) shall submit to the other Party (“Recipient”), in advance, proposed written and oral publications pertaining to work under the CRADA. Proposed oral publications shall be submitted to the Recipient in the form of a written presentation synopsis and a written abstract. 2. The Recipient shall provide a written response to the Submitter within 30 days, either objecting or not objecting to the proposed publication. The Submitter shall consider all objections of the Recipient and shall not unreasonably refuse to incorporate the suggestions and meet the objections of the Recipient. The proposed publication shall be deemed not objectionable, unless the proposed publication contains the Recipient’s Proprietary Information, Protected CRADA Information, export controlled information for which the Submitter does not have an appropriate license or exclusion from U.S. export control laws, or material that would create potential statutory bars to filing the United States or corresponding foreign Patent applications. In the event an objection is raised

Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 28 11-6-2013 because of a potential statutory bar, the Recipient shall file its patent application within _____ days of making such objection, after which time the Submitter is free to publish. GENERAL GUIDANCE: The CRADA must include a provision setting forth the required minimum deliverables of a publically releasable abstract and final report. Other deliverables pertaining to the specific project are normally contained in the Statement of Work; however, some intellectual property might be useful to the Government or the public and should be delivered to the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) for distribution if DOE requests such delivery. CRADA reports should fully cover and describe the research done under the CRADA, incorporating technical data as needed to support conclusions, and including Protected CRADA Information as appropriate. Where the Participant and/or the contractor identifies that such reports contain Protected CRADA Information, the reports will be properly marked with a restrictive legend identifying the agreed-to period of withholding from public disclosure per DOE Directive DOE O 241.1B. Such reports shall be furnished to OSTI for Departmental use only and be withholdable for the stated withholding period as materials exempt from Subchapter II of Chapter 5 of Title 5, United States Code. The contractor must ensure that adequate deliverables are provided to OSTI to ensure that the results of DOE-approved CRADAs are made known to other DOE contractors for DOE program needs. Additional information on providing information to OSTI is available at www.osti.gov/stip. Information and suggested best practices on marking CRADA reports to identify the agreed-to period of withholding from public disclosure is available at www.osti.gov/stip/access/crada. A publication review provision must be included in the CRADA. The pre-publication review process must consider the protection of rights to filing U.S. and foreign patent applications, since any disclosure may be a bar to filing. ARTICLE XI: FORCE MAJEURE GENERAL GUIDANCE: A force majeure clause stating that neither party will be liable for unforeseeable events beyond its reasonable control must be included in the CRADA. ARTICLE XII: DISPUTES If the Parties want to include a more detailed description of resolving disputes, the following options could be used as additional paragraphs added to the standard paragraph: OPTION 1: Mediation After the Parties have consulted with the Technology Partnership Ombudsman in accordance with the paragraph above, the Parties can initiate mediation, which shall commence within 30 days of selection of the mediator and shall be held in a DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 29 mutually convenient location. The mediator’s role shall be to facilitate an agreement between the Parties, based on their mutual interests. The Parties agree to share the costs of mediation equally. Neither Party will be prevented from resorting to a judicial proceeding if (1) good faith efforts to resolve the dispute have been unsuccessful or (2) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious injury. To the extent that there is no applicable U.S. Federal law, this CRADA and performance thereunder shall be governed by the law of the State of_____. OPTION 2: DOE Contracting Officer Determination

After the Parties have consulted with the Technology Partnership Ombudsman in accordance with the paragraph above, the Parties can have the dispute decided by the DOE Contracting Officer, who shall reduce his/her decision to writing within 60 days of receiving in writing the request for a decision by either Party to this CRADA. The DOE Contracting Officer shall mail or otherwise furnish a copy of the decision to the Parties. The decision of the DOE Contracting Officer is final unless, within 120 days, the Participant brings an action for adjudication in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of________. To the extent that there is no applicable U.S. Federal law, this CRADA and performance thereunder shall be governed by the law of the State of ________. OPTION 3: Arbitration After the Parties have consulted with the Technology Partnership Ombudsman in accordance with the paragraph above and have mutually agreed not to enter into mediation, the Parties can request to have the dispute settled by arbitration conducted in the State of _______________ in accordance with the then current and applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) shall be nonbinding on the Parties. OPTION 4: Litigation After the Parties have consulted with the Technology Partnership Ombudsman in accordance with the paragraph above and are unable to jointly resolve the dispute, the Parties can seek resolution through a judicial proceeding. Neither Party will be prevented from resorting to a judicial proceeding if (1) good faith efforts to resolve the dispute have been unsuccessful or (2) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious injury. To the extent that there is no applicable U.S. Federal law, this CRADA and performance thereunder shall be governed by the law of the State of _______. Any and all litigation involving disputes, claims, or either Party’s rights and duties under or arising as a result of this CRADA shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of _________. Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 30 11-6-2013 GENERAL GUIDANCE: The standard Disputes clause in the agreement must be included in all CRADAs. DOE believes that contacting the Laboratory Technology Partnership Ombudsman is essential in resolving disputes quickly and efficiently. If the Technology Partnership Ombudsman is unsuccessful in assisting the parties in resolving the conflict, the parties should attempt to settle disputes by mediation or by DOE Contracting Officer before entering into binding or nonbinding arbitration and/or seeking adjudication in a court of competent jurisdiction. It is strongly recommended that the contractor seek to include an intermediate step after it attempts to directly resolve the dispute with the Participant before going to court. If mediation is undertaken, it is recommended that the confidentiality provisions of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act be incorporated into the agreement to mediate. Sample agreements are available from the DOE Office of Conflict Prevention and Resolution. If the parties decide to replace mediation with another form of Alternative Dispute Resolution, such as a neutral evaluation or mini-trial, the DOE Office of Conflict Prevention and Resolution can provide information and guidance on these processes.

It is DOE policy (See DOE General Counsel Issues Arbitration Guidance for M&O Contractors) that mediation is the principal method of alternate dispute resolution. However, there is currently no legal prohibition on M&O contractors including binding arbitration clauses in their contracts with others. It often will be a good idea to include arbitration clauses as a means of limiting the risk of litigation which is often more time consuming and expensive than arbitration. The Department of Energy, including NNSA, does however “regulate” the use of arbitration once a dispute has arisen under our Contractor Legal Management Requirements. However, agreement to arbitrate should generally be consistent with the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act and Department guidance. When a decision to arbitrate is made, a statement fixing the maximum award amount should be agreed to. ARTICLE XIII: ENTIRE CRADA, MODIFICATIONS, ADMINSTRATION AND TERMINATIONS ALTERNATE LANGUAGE: Administration The following paragraph could be used for paragraph C: The Contractor enters into this CRADA under the authority of its prime contract with DOE. The Contractor is authorized to and will administer this CRADA in all respects unless otherwise specifically provided for herein. Administration of this CRADA may be transferred from the Contractor to DOE or its designee as a successor to Contractor who is assuming responsibilities for the facilities managed by Contractor with notice of such transfer to the Participant, and the Contractor shall have no further responsibilities except for the confidentiality, use and/or nondisclosure obligations of this CRADA. This CRADA shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, and their respective successors and assignees. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 31 ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE: Surviving Clauses The following clause may be added to section D. The confidentiality, use, and/or non-disclosure obligations of this CRADA shall survive any termination of this CRADA, as well as provisions of this CRADA which would naturally survive termination or expiration of this CRADA. GENERAL GUIDANCE: The CRADA must include an article stating that all the terms and conditions of the CRADA are entirely contained within the CRADA and its annexes (for example, Statement of Work). Subsequent modifications to the CRADA must acknowledge or supersede this statement. The CRADA should include a termination clause. The termination clause may also reference to Funding and Costs Article, in so far as to clearly state that “failure of the Participant to provide the necessary advance funding, or to promptly pay the invoices rendered by the contractor is cause for termination of the CRADA.” When the contractor is entering into a CRADA with a division or subsidiary of another corporation, it may be desirable to add a statement to the signatory line of the Participant stating that the person attests that he/she has the legal authority to bind the company to all the terms and conditions of the CRADA. II. ADDITIONAL ARTICLES The following articles may be added depending on the scope of work and Contractor obligations: ARTICLE ___: LABORATORY SITE ACCESS. SAFETY AND HEALTH

As a precondition to performing work at CONTRACTOR Laboratory, Participant must complete all CONTRACTOR Site Access documents and requirements. Participant shall take all reasonable precautions in activities carried out under this Agreement to protect the safety and health of others and to protect the environment. Participant must comply with all applicable safety, health, access to information, security and environmental regulations and the requirements of the Department and CONTRACTOR, including the specific requirements of the Laboratory. In the event that the Participant fails to comply with said regulations and requirements, CONTRACTOR may, without prejudice to any other legal or contractual rights, issue an order stopping all or any part of Participant's activities at the Laboratory. GENERAL GUIDANCE: If the Participant or any subcontractors are going to perform work under the CRADA at the Laboratory, the Participant shall follow the Laboratory site access, safety and health protocols. Therefore, this article should be added accordingly. Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 32 11-6-2013 ARTICLE __: TRADEMARKS If trademarks are contemplated to be created under the CRADA, the following definitions should be added to Article I: “Trademark” means a distinctive mark, symbol, or emblem used in commerce by a producer or manufacturer to identify and distinguish its goods or services from those of others. “Service Mark” means a distinctive word, slogan, design, picture, symbol, or any combination thereof, used in commerce by a person to identify and distinguish its services from those of others. The following language may be used for this article. The Parties may seek to obtain Trademark/Service Mark protection on products or services generated under this CRADA in the United States or foreign countries. [The ownership and other rights relating to this Trademark shall be as mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties.] The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Government shall have the right to indicate on any similar goods or services produced by or for the Government that such goods or services were derived from and are a DOE version of the goods or services protected by such Trademark/ Service Mark, with the Trademark and the owner thereof being specifically identified. In addition, the Government shall have the right to use such Trademark/Service Mark in print or communications media. OPTION: The following language is an option for the bracketed language in the above paragraph: The Party originating the Trademark/Service Mark on products or services generated under this CRADA in the United States or foreign countries shall have the full right, title, and interest in such Trademark or Service Mark subject only to the Government’s retained right to use the mark on any similar goods or services as set forth below. OPTION: If the CRADA Participant objects to the Government’s retention of any right to use any trademark owned by the Participant because the Participant has no right to perform a quality review or inspection of the DOE version of the trademarked goods, the following sentence may be added to the end of the above standard language paragraph, if desired: Where the Government indicates on goods that such goods were derived from goods protected by a Trademark/Service Mark, the Government will DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 33 also indicate that the Trademark owner has had no right to perform a quality review/inspection of the DOE version of the goods.

GENERAL GUIDANCE: By approving a CRADA, DOE authorizes the contractor and the Participant to assert trademark protection for products or services arising out of the performance of that CRADA. The parties shall acknowledge the Government’s right to indicate the relationship between the goods and services it produces and those protected by trademark/service mark in appropriate circumstances. The parties may negotiate between themselves any licensing rights they desire, consistent with the Government’s license. Trademarks for jointly developed products or services should be addressed in the CRADA. One way to do so is to specify that any trademarks in generated products or services jointly attributable to contractor and Participant employees shall be jointly owned by the contractor and the Participant. ARTICLE __: MASK WORKS If mask works are contemplated to be created under the CRADA, the following definition should be added to Article I: “Mask Work” means a series of related images, however fixed or encoded, having or representing the predetermined, three-dimensional pattern of metallic, insulating, or semiconductor material present or removed from the layers of a semiconductor chip product and in which series the relation of the images to one another is that each image has the pattern of the surface of one form of the semiconductor chip product. The following language may be used for this article. The Parties may seek to obtain legal protection for Mask Works fixed in semiconductor products generated under this agreement as provided by Chapter 9 of Title 17 of the United States Code. [The rights to any Mask Work covered by this provision shall be as mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties.] The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Government or others acting on its behalf shall retain a nonexclusive, paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, nontransferable license to reproduce, import, or distribute the covered semiconductor product by or on behalf of the Government, and to reproduce and use the Mask Work by or on behalf of the Government. OPTION: The following language is an option for the bracketed language in the above paragraph: The allocation of rights to Mask Works will be commensurate with the distribution of Copyrights under Article VII, paragraph D of this CRADA. Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 34 11-6-2013 GENERAL GUIDANCE: By approving a CRADA, DOE authorizes the contractor and the Participant to assert mask work protection for semiconductor chip products first produced during the performance of the CRADA. The parties shall grant to the Government and others acting on its behalf an irrevocable, paid-up license to use any of these covered products. The parties may negotiate between themselves any licensing rights they desire, consistent with the Government’s license. Jointly developed semiconductor chip materials may be registered for protection; this should be addressed in the CRADA. One way to address this is to specify that any mask works fixed in semiconductor chip products generated under the CRADA and jointly attributable to contractor and Participant employees shall be jointly owned by the contractor and the Participant. ARTICLE __: ASSIGNMENT OF PERSONNEL If personnel from either party will work at the others facility, this Article may be added to the CRADA:

A. Each Party may assign personnel to the other Party’s facility as part of this CRADA to participate in or observe the research to be performed under this CRADA. Such personnel assigned by the assigning Party shall not during the period of such assignments be considered employees of the receiving Party for any purpose. B. The receiving Party shall have the right to exercise routine administrative and technical supervisory control of the occupational activities of such personnel during the assignment period and shall have the right to approve the assignment of such personnel and/or to later request their removal by the assigning Party. C. The assigning Party shall bear any and all costs and expenses with regard to its personnel assigned to the receiving Party’s facilities under this CRADA. The receiving Party shall bear facility costs of such assignments. OPTION: More Complete Recitation of the Exclusions in Paragraph A A. Each Party may assign personnel to the other Party’s facility as part of this CRADA. Such personnel assigned by the assigning Party to participate in or observe the research to be performed under this CRADA shall not during the period of such assignments be considered employees of the receiving Party for any purposes, including but not limited to any requirements to provide workers’ compensation, liability insurance coverage, payment of salary or other benefits, or withholding of taxes. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 35 OPTION: More Complete and Explicit Recitation of Costs for Paragraph C C. The assigning Party shall bear any and all costs and expenses with regard to its personnel assigned to the receiving Party’s facilities under this CRADA. The receiving Party shall bear the costs of providing an appropriate work space, access to a telephone, use of laboratory, manufacturing or other work areas as appropriate, and any other utilities and facilities related to such assignments. ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH: Observe Working Hours of Host Facility The assigning Party’s employees and agents shall observe the working hours, security and safety rules, and holiday schedule of the receiving Party while working on the receiving Party’s premises. The receiving Party shall have the reasonable right to approve the assignment of personnel or request their removal by the assigning Party. OPTION: Contractor Annex If Employees of the Participant are required to visit the Contractor’s facility, the Participant agrees to the conditions in Annex ____. GENERAL GUIDANCE: If it is anticipated that personnel may be assigned back and forth between the facilities, a provision for such assignments must be included in the CRADA so that such assignments of personnel can be easily facilitated during the course of the CRADA. The contractors should ensure that, when this article is being discussed, the Participants are given copies of contractor regulations, procedures, policies, and practices for entrance of outside personnel to work in the laboratories and/or facilities, especially where foreign Participants are involved. DOE facilities must comply with U.S. export and security laws when receiving assigned foreign national Participant personnel. ARTICLE __: NOTICES If Parties want Notices to be in the CRADA instead of the Statement of Work, this Article may be added:

Any communications required by this CRADA, if given by postage prepaid first class U.S. Mail or other verifiable means addressed to the Party to receive the communication, shall be deemed made as of the day of receipt of such communication by the addressee, or on the date given if by verified facsimile. Address changes shall be made by written notice and shall be effective thereafter. All such communications, to be considered effective, shall include the number of this CRADA. The addresses, telephone numbers, email and facsimile numbers for the Parties are as follows: Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 36 11-6-2013 1. For CONTRACTOR: U.S. Mail Only: FedEx, UPS, Freight a.

PROJECT MANAGER, REPORTS, COPIES OF FORMAL NOTICES AND COMMUNICATIONS Attn: Tel: Email: GENERAL GUIDANCE: If the Contractor does not want to have the notices in the Statement of Work, then delete paragraph B of Article II and add this Article to the CRADA for communications among the parties to the CRADA for invoicing and receipt of funds, as well as other notices under the CRADA. For funds-in CRADAs a billing and/or an invoice address for the Participant can be added, if needed. ARTICLE __: PROJECT MANAGEMENT A. Each Party shall assign and identify in writing a project manager prior to the start of the CRADA. Either Party may change its project manager by providing written notification to the other Party. Each project manager shall be responsible for DOE O 483.1A Attachment 4 11-6-2013 Page 37 coordinating all matters relating to this CRADA, any Statement of Work hereunder, and all other related matters between the Parties. All communications between the Parties relating to this CRADA shall take place between the project managers. B. Project managers for this CRADA are as follows: for CONTRACTOR:__________________ for PARTICIPANT:__________________ Attachment 4 DOE O 483.1A Page 38 11-6-2013 The Parties will use reasonable efforts to manage the disclosure of Proprietary Information or Protected CRADA Information through the project managers or their designees; however, failure to do so will not cause any marked Proprietary Information or any marked Protected CRADA Information to lose the protection afforded by Articles VII and VIII. GENERAL GUIDANCE: This additional article has been approved for use if desired. This information could be combined with the NOTICES Article and be renamed as “Notices and Project Management.” ARTICLE __: ORDER OF PRECEDENCE In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the annexes and those of this CRADA, this CRADA shall prevail. ARTICLE __: WAIVER The failure of the Contractor or the Participant at any time to enforce any provisions of this CRADA or to exercise any right or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or of such right or remedy or of the right of the Contractor or the Participant thereafter to enforce each and every provision, right, or remedy. ARTICLE __: BACKGROUND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Usually, a list of the Background Intellectual Property (BIP) is attached to the CRADA as an annex. However, the Parties could agree to add an Article to the CRADA as follows and this can be modified to have only the Contractor report its BIP:

The Contractor and the Participant have identified and agreed that the following Background Intellectual Property may be used in the performance of work under this CRADA and may be needed to practice the results of this CRADA: Contractor’s Background Intellectual Property:___________________ Participant’s Background Intellectual Property:___________________ The Contractor and the Participant represent that the above-identified Background Intellectual Property is available for licensing as of the effective date of this CRADA. Each Party has used reasonable efforts to list all relevant Background Intellectual Property, but Intellectual Property may exist that is not identified. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party because of failure to list Background Intellectual Property. DOE O 483.1A Attachment 5 11-6-2013 Page 1 ATTACHMENT 5 This Attachment provides information and/or requirements associated with DOE O 483.1A as well as information and/or requirements applicable to contracts in which the associated CRD (Attachment 1 to DOE O 483.1A) is inserted. MODEL SHORT FORM CRADA This Model Short form CRADA is designed to be offered to entities as means for streamlining and simplifying the CRADA process for certain circumstances. In order to ensure expedited CRADA development and approval, this document must be adopted in its entirety, as written, by both/all parties with no exceptions. The language of this document is pre-approved by DOE; however, the DOE Field Office can approve minor changes specific to a Laboratory or other facility. The goal is for uniformity across the DOE complex with this CRADA with limited differences between Laboratories and other facilities. The Short Form CRADA may be offered to entities that meet the following criteria: a) The Participant should be clearly advised that this CRADA must be adopted in its entirety, as written, by both/all parties and, at the same time, advised of the alternative to use the DOE Model CRADA if the total terms of the Short Form CRADA are not agreeable. b) The dollar value of the entire project (including amendments) does not exceed $500,000. This dollar value may be periodically adjusted by the HQ Office of Procurement Policy (MA). The Short Form CRADA package will be subject to the same process used for DOE Model CRADA package review and approval at the local DOE Field Offices. Guidance for the DOE Model CRADA applies to clauses unchanged in the Short Form CRADA. For each project, a Statement of Work (SOW) is required that details the nature, scope, roles, responsibilities, and costs of activities to be conducted by both parties together with an estimated timeline for completion of identified tasks. The SOW will be incorporated into the CRADA as Annex A. Financial Considerations: 1) Federal Administrative Charge is applicable to entities as provided for by DOE Order 522.1. 2) In Article II paragraph D, DOE’s Cognizant Site CFO’s per Chapter XIII of the Financial Management Handbook will provide approval/concurrence before the DOE Contracting Officer approves any advance payments of less than 60 days. Attachment 5 DOE O 483.1A Page 2 11-6-2013 3) All of the funding provisions/requirements in Attachment 4 apply to the DOE Short Form CRADA. Please see Attachment 4 for more guidance on the following provisions: a) Requirements for SBIR/STTR awards; b) Full funding requirements for awards that are $25,000 or less or where the work will be completed in 60 days or less;

c) Additional funding requirement for termination costs or other expenses for individual projects as determined by the Field CFOs; d) Statement that no budgetary resources shall be utilized to fund work for CRADA partners; and e) Exceptions to funding requirements as provided for in Chapter 13 of DOE’s Financial Management Handbook. The Department of Energy has opted to utilize the following agreement, which is uniform across the Departmental facilities, for small value transactions. Except for minor modifications to the terms of this agreement made by CONTRACTOR, most changes will require approval by the DOE Contracting Officer, WHICH WILL LIKELY DELAY THE START DATE OF THE PROJECT. If substantive changes are required, the DOE Model CRADA may be more appropriate due to the increased flexibility such agreements afford.

DOE O 483.1A Attachment 7 11-6-2013 Page 1 ATTACHMENT 7 This Attachment provides information and/or requirements associated with DOE O 483.1A as well as information and/or requirements applicable to contracts in which the associated CRD (Attachment 1 to DOE O 483.1A) is inserted. CRADA WITH FOREIGN-OWNED OR CONTROLLED ENTITY Part A below is to be completed by proposed Participants in technology transfer agreements involving Participant access to classified information or special nuclear materials or unescorted access to security areas of Departmental facilities. This information is requested in accordance with provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Part B of this Attachment is to be completed by the Laboratory for notifying DOE.

DOE field offices are required to include a foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) review as part of their security review of CRADAs involving Participant access to classified information, access to special nuclear materials (special nuclear materials shall mean quantities as defined in 10 CFR Part 710) or unescorted access to security areas within Departmental facilities. If a CRADA does not involve access to classified information, special nuclear materials, or secure facilities, a FOCI review is not required to meet the Department’s national security obligations as mandated by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. If an individual has the ability and/or opportunity to obtain access to classified information or matter by being in a place where such information or matter is accessible, and, if the security measures which are in force do not prevent the gaining of access to the classified information or matter, the FOCI review must be completed regardless of whether the CRADA involves classified matter or information. In those cases requiring a FOCI review, DOE must receive the prospective Participant’s response to the eleven FOCI questions, including required additional information and the certification, prior to approval of the CRADA. These materials should be submitted as early as possible to the normal Joint Work Statement/CRADA contact at DOE, for referral to the Safeguards and Security point of contact so that the FOCI review process may be initiated expeditiously. If the field office receives a proposed Joint Work Statement prior to submission of the needed responses to the FOCI questions, or a proposed CRADA prior to completion of the FOCI review and resolution of outstanding issues, the field office must decide whether to return the Joint Work Statement or CRADA for further information or to disapprove it. In general, no CRADA involving access to classified information, access to special nuclear materials, or unescorted access to security areas of Departmental facilities will be approved until the FOCI review is complete and all FOCI issues are resolved. One option, available at field office discretion, is to phase the work in such a way that unclassified activities are initiated in an earlier phase than those requiring access to classified information, special nuclear materials, or security areas of Departmental facilities. Approval of unclassified phases of the work could precede the completion of the FOCI determination. Approval of phases of the work involving classified information, special nuclear materials, or unescorted access to security areas of Departmental facilities must await the FOCI determination and Attachment 7 DOE O 483.1A Page 2 11-6-2013 resolution of any FOCI issues. The field office may require additional justification from Laboratory to address the risk associated with terminating a CRADA between phases. Implementation of the FOCI review should be done in a manner which ensures that DOE meets the statutory deadlines for processing Joint Work Statements and CRADAs. Information submitted by the Participant as required pursuant to the FOCI review shall be treated by the Laboratory and by DOE, to the extent permitted by law, as business or financial information submitted in confidence to be used solely for purposes of evaluating FOCI. Nothing in this guidance relieves the obligation to address other considerations such as export control or U.S. competitiveness issues. Broad concerns about existing U.S. competitiveness policies and procedures should be brought to the DOE Technology Transfer Committee for discussion.

For CRADAs involving access to classified information or special nuclear materials or unescorted access to security areas of Departmental facilities, the CRADA must contain provisions which ensure that changes in the Participant’s FOCI status are promptly reported over the term of the agreement. If a Participant reports such changes or if more than 5 years have passed since any previous FOCI determination, the Laboratory shall forward that information to DOE according to its established procedures for FOCI review. Certain changes in the FOCI status of the Participant in an approved CRADA could result in direction from security organizations that access of the Participant to classified information, special nuclear materials, or security areas of Departmental facilities be limited. The authority to limit access is inherent in operative DOE Orders. If the Participant becomes subject to FOCI and cannot, or chooses not to, avoid or mitigate the FOCI problem, and the Participant’s access to classified information is essential to continuation of the collaborative work, the Laboratory shall provide notice of termination and expedite the orderly shutdown of collaborative work.
