Common use of Product, Technology and Process Changes Clause in Contracts

Product, Technology and Process Changes. a) If IBM elects to amend the specification or the process for manufacturing Products, IBM will notify MSL of the changes in writing. MSL will promptly inform IBM of any changes to Delivery Dates, lead times, process changes, Parts requirements, Parts obsolescence, scrap, rework and any requested price changes that will result from the required changes. If IBM then elects to proceed in accordance with the changes proposed by MSL, IBM and MSL will agree to a plan to address the issues described in the proceeding sentence. MSL will thereafter implement the agreed to changes. b) MSL will not implement any change to its specifications, technology, materials or process that may affect form, fit, or function of characteristics of Products without IBM's prior written consent. IBM will make a reasonable effort to accommodate MSL's request for change; however, IBM is not obligated to accept any changes proposed by MSL. c) Once a plan described in a. above has been agreed to, MSL will not start any new units of Product which do not incorporate the agreed change.
