standard manufacture, indemnify and hold harmless each participating Agency, its
employees, officers, and agents, from costs and damage as finally determined by any

of the sale of normal use of such device or composition, provided that Bidder is
promptly notified of all such actual or potential infringement suits, and is given an
opportunity to participate in the defense thereof by the Agencies.
6. TERMINATION OF AWARD FOR CAUSE
If, through any cause, the successful Bidder shall fail to fulfill in a timely and proper
manner its obligations or if the successful vendor shall violate any of the covenants,
agreements or stipulations of the award, the Agency shall thereupon have the right to
terminate the award by giving written notice to the successful Bidder of such

or unfinished services, reports or other materials prepared by the successful Bidder
shall, at the option of the Agency, become its property, and the successful Bidder shall

It shall be a condition that any company, firm or corporation supplying goods or
services, must be in compliance with the appropriate areas of the Americans With
