||||
|
|
||||
7.1 |
At AMS’s Request. AMS shall not change any Product or Spare Part, including any component or material, or any production methodology used in any Product or Spare Part, without obtaining NEXUS’s prior written consent. AMS’s request shall specify any cost, schedule or other impact of such change. If NEXUS requests, AMS shall also provide on mutually agreed terms, sample units of the modified Product or Spare Part for NEXUS evaluation. NEXUS shall attempt to approve or disapprove AMS’s request within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt or, at a minimum, within such period advise AMS of the estimated date such decision will be made by NEXUS. |
7.2 |
At NEXUS’s Request. Should NEXUS desire modifications in the design of a Product, NEXUS will submit a written request to AMS to make the change (an “Engineering Change Order” or “ECO”). Within three (3) Working Days after AMS receipt of the ECO, AMS shall advise NEXUS in writing of the direct labor and materials cost, schedule or other impact of such change, and shall not implement any such change unless and until NEXUS has approved such impact in writing. The hourly regular labor tariff will be $12. | ||||
|
|
||||
|

|
||||
7.3 |
Emergency Changes. If NEXUS submits an emergency ECO clearly identified as such, AMS shall commence implementation of such ECO within twenty-four (24) hours; provided, that AMS has advised NEXUS of, and NEXUS has approved in writing any estimated cost or other impact of such change and the required components are available. If the required components are not available, AMS shall use its best commercial efforts to procure such components as soon as possible. |

The Purchase Price beyond the initial Purchase Price shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set out in Appendices 8 and 9. AMS shall be solely responsible for its own taxes based on its revenues or property ownership, including, without limitation, municipality taxes and similar payments. For the avoidance of doubt, NEXUS shall not be charged separately for any taxes except for VAT and any other taxes which NEXUS is able to recover from the taxing authority.

Past due payments will accrue interest at a rate equal to 0.75% compounded monthly; for avoidance of doubt, this shall not be deemed as derogating from any remedies which may be available to AMS under any applicable law or this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, if NEXUSDATA becomes delinquent by more than 30 days, then the terms and conditions as specified in the Related Manufacturing Agreement (Appendix 11) shall apply. For avoidance of doubt, execution, delivery and/or performance of the Related Manufacturing Agreement shall not be deemed or interpreted as any release by AMS of NexusData of any of NexusData’s obligations and undertakings towards AMS, or as any waiver by AMS of any rights, demands, claims or suits it may have against NexusData under this Agreement. |

AMS will be proactive and make every effort to reduce costs both of the materials purchased and of the development of the manufacturing process. Such cost reductions shall be shared equally between AMS and NEXUS Telocation if the cost reduction was initiated by AMS or be entirely transferred and enjoyed solely by NEXUS Telocation if initiated by NEXUS Telocation. The revised Purchase Prices shall become effective on the 1st day of the following month or earlier if applicable.

Forecasts.

The Forecast will specify the number of units of the Products NEXUS Telocation anticipates purchasing during such three (3) month period. The Forecast will be non-binding and will not be regarded by either Party as a commitment to order, purchase, deliver or meet any volume commitment specified therein with the exception of NCNR components specified in Appendix 3, whose actual lead time is longer than 3 months.
