2. TERM AND PRODUCTS
(a) The terms of this Contract will cover, with respect only to the Honeywell business identified in the preamble hereto, those products set forth in Attachment 1-A (“Standard Products”) and Attachment 1-B (“Proprietary Products”) (collectively, “Products”) ordered through the expiration of this Contract according to the stated lead-time in Attachment 1-A or 1-B, as applicable. New Products will be automatically added to Attachments 1-A and 1-B as set forth in Section 4(b), and in accordance with the terms and upon the conditions set forth in this Contract.
(b) The term of this Contract shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall run for the period of twenty (20) years (the “Initial Term”). […***…]
For purposes of the foregoing, the “Renewal Metric” is as follows:
[…***…]
[…***…]
On or before September 1 of the calendar year prior to the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, Buyer may, at its option, conduct a market test of the entire portfolio of Products to determine whether Seller’s then-current prices (on an aggregated basis over the entire portfolio of Products at the forecasted volumes for the succeeding year) are within […***…] based on bona fide quotes obtained by Buyer from alternate distributors and provide written notice to Seller of the results thereof. […***…]
(i) […***…] and the prices as so adjusted will be the baseline for future annual adjustments for the applicable Renewal Term pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Contract; or
(ii) decline to enter into the First or Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, unless Buyer waives such price adjustment by written notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after receipt from Seller of its notice of election of clause (ii); provided that, if Buyer does not waive such price adjustment as set forth above, the Contract will be deemed to expire as of the end of the following calendar year, and the parties will follow the transition procedures set forth in Section 3(a)(iii) and (iv) below, and for purposes of the application of such procedures to this Section 2(b), […***…]
(c) Releases for the Products will be issued on individual purchase orders or bin scans by the applicable business within Honeywell.
3. TERMINATION
This Contract may be terminated prior to the expiration of its Term (x) upon mutual agreement of the parties at any time, or (y) by either party immediately upon written notice, if the other party is dissolved. In addition to the foregoing,
(a) (i) […***…] Buyer may terminate this Contract if Seller is then in Substantial Non-Compliance, pursuant to the notice provisions set forth in clause (ii) below.
“Substantial Non-Compliance” means […***…]
(ii) Buyer may (but is not required to) give Seller written notice (the “Anticipation Notice”) in September of any year in which Buyer anticipates that it will provide notice of actual termination of this Contract at the beginning of the succeeding calendar year, which Anticipation Notice shall be advisory only and shall not obligate Buyer to terminate this Contract. Whether or not Buyer has provided an Anticipation Notice, in the event it elects to terminate this Contract as set forth in clause (i), Buyer shall provide written notice of termination (the “Actual Termination Notice”) in January of the calendar year in which it then has the right to terminate this Contract pursuant to clause (i), and such termination will be effective at the end of the Transition Period as defined below. In the event Buyer provides an Actual Termination Notice, clauses (iii) and (iv) below will apply. If Buyer gives an Anticipation Notice and subsequently gives an Actual Termination Notice, […***…]
(iii) Except to the extent Seller needs to purchase additional Products, beyond Products then on hand or on order, to support Buyer’s needs during the Transition Period in accordance with forecasts supplied by Buyer on or after Seller’s receipt of the Actual Termination Notice, Seller shall not purchase additional inventory after receipt of the Actual Termination Notice. Seller shall continue to supply Product to Buyer, and Buyer shall continue to purchase Product from Seller, during the Transition Period. In the event that Buyer does not purchase all of the Product that Seller buys after receipt of the Actual Termination Notice in accordance with the first sentence of this clause […***…] In the event that Buyer does not purchase during the Transition Period any remaining inventory purchased by Seller prior to receipt of the Actual Termination Notice in order to meet Buyer’s then-applicable Annual Baseline Forecast at the time of such purchase, […***…].
(iv) […***…] of the Actual Termination Notice, for avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 8, 9 and 13 shall continue to apply, except to the extent that compliance therewith is commercially impracticable primarily because of the limitations on Seller’s ability to purchase inventory set forth in clause (iii) above.
(b) Buyer may terminate this Contract at any time following a Qualifying Change Of Control of Seller as defined below upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice for any material default or breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Contract by Seller, unless Seller has cured such default or breach within such sixty (60)-day period after notification of the default or breach. A “Qualifying Change Of Control” shall be deemed to occur when (i) with respect to Seller, any transaction or series of related transactions occurs in which any entity listed in Attachment 4 hereto or any of such entity’s successors or affiliates (a “Listed Party”) would acquire, directly or indirectly, including pursuant to a sale of assets, tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction, more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of Seller or all or substantially all of the assets of Seller, or (ii) assignment or transfer is made by Seller pursuant to Article 32 of the GPOP to a Listed Party. Seller will provide Buyer with written notice of any Qualifying Change Of Control no later than five (5) days after the date that any binding agreement is executed in respect of any such Qualifying Change Of Control. Such termination right shall be in addition to Buyer’s suspension rights under Section 4(c) to the extent applicable.
4. FORECAST AND SCOPE
(a) Buyer will issue good faith (but non-binding except as specifically set forth in this Contract) forecasts by July 31 of each year containing its projected annual and monthly needs for each Product for the succeeding calendar year (such July 31 forecast, without regard to subsequent monthly updates thereto, the “Annual Baseline Forecast”), and may update such forecasts on a monthly basis. Seller agrees to work to such forecasts and manage its build schedule to accommodate fluctuations in the forecast. Buyer will specify, and Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to perform to, the delivery schedule associated with the most recent forecast provided by Buyer. Seller shall have the systems in place to meet Buyer’s forecast requirements. Any amount forecasted by Buyer beyond the current lead-time is not a firm delivery quantity and Buyer shall have no liability or financial exposure with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Sections 3 and 4(d).
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, including without limitation Section 4(c), Seller agrees to sell and supply to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase and take delivery of one hundred percent (100%) of the requirements of
(i) the Products listed in Attachments 1-A and 1-B as of the Effective Date (the “Initial Products”);
(ii) any Fastener Products (as defined below) (but not any Products other than Fastener Products) (x) that have been sold by Buyer’s “Consumables Solutions” division (“CS”) during the twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Date or are being currently sold by CS as of the Effective Date, and (y) replacements for any such products (including future revisions or replacements for such replacement products), which in each case shall be automatically added to Attachment 1-A or 1-B after the Effective Date;
(iii) all replacements for Proprietary Products (including future revisions or replacements for such replacement products), which shall be automatically added to Attachment 1-B after the Effective Date; and
(iv) all seals, wiring, spacers and other non-Fastener products (including future revisions or replacements for such products) of the type historically sold by CS, other than bearings, and historically purchased by Honeywell’s Aerospace business from commodity distributors in the ordinary course as of the Effective Date,
in each case only as required by Honeywell’s Aerospace business, and that are not covered by its pre-existing purchase commitments […***…] (but only for such minimum amount of time, without extension, renewal or modification thereof (unless such extension, renewal or modification is requested by Seller), that such pre-existing commitments require Buyer to purchase products); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing twelve (12) months prior to the expiration or termination of this Contract, Buyer may identify an
alternate vendor for any of the Products and may communicate with, provide information to, contract with and engage in ramp-up activities with such alternate vendor to permit Buyer to commence using Products purchased from such alternate vendor immediately upon the expiration or termination of this Contract. “Fastener Products” shall mean any Products falling within any of the following commodity groupings, as determined for each Product by the nomenclature on the applicable drawing for the Product (or, if the nomenclature is silent, by the reasonable discretion of Buyer): Bolts, Collars, Fittings, Grommets, Inserts, Nuts, Pin Systems, Pins, Plugs, Rings, Rivets, Screws, Studs, Washers or Gaskets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it shall not be deemed a breach of the exclusivity obligations in this Section 4(b) for Buyer to purchase Products from third parties in connection with the exercise of its rights under (and solely in accordance with) Sections 13.3 or 13.6(e) of the License Agreement.
(c) […***…] Upon subsequent cure (as set forth below) of the breach(es) or default(s) giving rise to Buyer’s suspension right under the preceding sentence, the exclusivity obligations set forth in Section 4(b) shall be reinstated; provided, however, that such reinstated exclusivity obligations shall not apply to purchases made by Buyer from another supplier pursuant to a supply agreement made during the pendency of such suspension, the term of such supply agreement not to exceed one year (except that as to Products for which the lead-time is greater than one year the term of such supply agreement may extend to the entirety of such lead-time). […***…], Seller’s breach of this Contract for purposes of Section 4(c)(i) shall be deemed cured. For the failure to meet the standards set forth in Section 13, upon Seller providing reasonable evidence to […***…] Seller’s breach of this Contract for purposes of Section 4(c)(ii) shall be deemed cured. For the failure to meet the standards set forth in Section 8, upon Seller providing reasonable evidence to […***…] For the failure to meet the standards set forth in Section 9, upon Seller providing reasonable evidence to […***…]
[…***…] Seller’s breach of this Contract for purposes of Section 4(c)(iv) shall be deemed cured.
(d) In the event that, for any Product, during any period of three consecutive calendar years during the Term (“Measurement Period”), Buyer does not purchase such Product in an […***…] Period, then the parties will determine the amount of unused inventory of such Product that was purchased or set aside by Seller at the commencement of the Measurement Period for the purposes of meeting such one-year forecasted quantity (the “Unused Products”). […***…] As to any of the Unused Products which Buyer elects not to purchase from Seller, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Unused Products to a third party (which may include for scrap purposes) and to maximize the proceeds therefrom. […***…]
5. PRICING AND PAYMENT
(a) The unit prices for Initial Products shall be the prices shown in Attachments 1-A and 1-B, including without limitation for spares. […***…] of each year thereafter during the Term, Seller will provide to Buyer an updated list of prices for each of the Products to be applicable during the succeeding calendar year, which will be determined by applying to the prior year’s prices the percentage increase in or decrease in Seller’s costs of Products from the prior year (excluding any gap buys) based upon Buyer’s then-applicable Annual Baseline Forecast, and which Seller will certify complies with the […***…] set forth in Section 6. In the event that the price for any Product set forth in the updated list exceeds the price for that Product for the previous year by a percentage which is greater than […***…]
(i) Provide to Buyer documentation of Seller’s actual cost from the manufacturer of such Product of purchasing an amount equal to Buyer’s then-
forecasted annual requirement based upon Buyer’s then-applicable Annual Baseline Forecast (more than one quote, where applicable);
(ii) If applicable, suggest to Buyer the purchase of an alternate Product with same form, fit, and function at lower cost and, if Buyer so elects, sell such Product to Buyer on such basis;
(iii) Find an alternate supplier for the Product, in which event Seller must use reasonable best efforts to do so. In doing so, Seller will negotiate with any alternate supplier or manufacturer identified by Buyer for any Product through market test or otherwise, provided that any such alternate supplier or manufacturer shall have a supplier assessment score of 3 or higher under Buyer’s assessment system. Buyer and Seller will each use their respective reasonable best efforts in connection with the approval process of any such alternate supplier or manufacturer under this paragraph (iii). For Standard Parts, such market test mechanism will be applied by taking the best price quote from such a manufacturer obtained by Buyer (or at Buyer’s request by Seller) for such Product in a quantity equal to the Buyer’s then-forecasted annual requirement for such Product, with delivery, lead-time and quality standards that are reasonably equivalent to those set forth in this Contract; and
(iv) […***…]
For purposes of the foregoing, the “AAFPPI” shall mean the Aircraft-Aerospace Fastener Producer Price Index (Series ID WPU108105) issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor or successor agency; provided that in the event the Bureau of Labor statistics or such successor agency ceases to issue such index, then the “AAFPPI” shall mean the most nearly equivalent index issued by such agency.

(c) When a new Product is added to this Contract, the initial price for such Product will be determined as follows, subject in each case to the most favored customer requirement set forth in Section 6: […***…]
(d) Except for amounts subject to a bona fide written dispute, payment by Buyer shall be made net to […***…].
(e) […***…].
(f) If, in connection with a government procurement and despite the exercise of its reasonable efforts, Honeywell is not able to obtain the agreement of the United States
Government, or the prime contractor or the higher tier subcontractor to Honeywell on a government procurement, (the “Decisionmaker”) that the pricing for any of the Products subject to such procurement is fair and reasonable under the price reasonableness test outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 15.4 and otherwise complies with applicable US government regulations, Seller agrees (A) to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop with Honeywell pricing for such Products that satisfies the concerns of the Decisionmaker, or to allow Honeywell to procure that part through an open tender and be excused, for that procurement only, from the exclusivity obligation to Seller hereunder, and (B) to provide supporting documentation required by the Decisionmaker, if any, including data other than cost or pricing data.

(c) Seller shall notify Buyer of any potential program, Proprietary Product, or schedule changes promptly as it becomes aware of them.
(d) Seller will flow down this requirement in all its subcontracts and purchase orders for purchased goods or process related services required for the Proprietary Product, whether such goods are supplied to Seller as an end item, a component part of an end item, or an individual piece part.
(e) Buyer will not unreasonably withhold consent to Seller’s use of alternate sub-tier supplier arrangements, provided that it shall not be deemed unreasonable for Buyer to withhold consent if (i) such use of an alternate sub-tier supplier does not result in a reduction in the prices charged by Seller to Buyer for Proprietary Products or in more reliable availability; or (ii) Seller has not demonstrated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that it taken all necessary actions to avoid negative impacts to Buyer, including, but not limited to, maintaining additional inventory, overlapping production schedules, and similar measures.

Any Audit will be conducted at the offices of Seller in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the business activities of Seller. Any Audit shall be at the cost and expense of Buyer unless the Audit determines that Seller has materially violated its obligations under this Contract, in which case Seller shall pay the reasonable cost of the Audit. If any Audit reveals a failure of Seller’s performance of any of its obligations under the specified Sections of this Contract, then, upon receiving written notice of such failure in performance, Seller shall promptly (but in any event within fourteen (14) days of receiving such notice) (i) make any payments (for rebates or otherwise) to Buyer that it would have made had such failure not existed; and (ii) develop a corrective action plan in cooperation with Buyer to prevent like failures in the future, such plan to be subject to Buyer’s approval, and promptly thereafter implement such plan at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure (inadvertent or otherwise), and shall, within thirty (30) days of such notice (i) use reasonable best efforts to cure such unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information; (ii) take all reasonable precautions to prevent any such unauthorized disclosure in the future; and (iii) cooperate in good faith with the Disclosing Party to assist the Disclosing Party to regain possession of its Confidential Information and/or to prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure.
(f) The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the violation of its obligations under this Section 23 would cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party, which harm may not be compensable solely by monetary damages, and that, therefore, in the event of an actual or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of this Section 23, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving monetary damages or posting bond or other security. Any such equitable relief granted shall be without limitation of or prejudice to any other rights and remedies as the Disclosing Party may have under this Contract.

GENERAL PURCHASE ORDER PROVISIONS
1. ACCEPTANCE ENTIRE AGREEMENT MODIFICATION. These General Purchase Order Provisions apply to all orders for the purchase and sale of goods and services made under this Contract (the goods and services described in such orders, hereinafter, “Items”). All capitalized terms not defined in these General Purchase Order Provisions shall have the meaning assigned to them elsewhere in this Contract. Acceptance of each order shall be limited to the terms and conditions contained herein and incorporated herein by reference. Each order shall be deemed accepted upon the return of the acknowledgment copy of such order or the commencement of performance by Seller. Buyer rejects any additional or inconsistent terms and conditions offered by Seller at any time, whether or not such terms or conditions materially alter the order and irrespective of Buyer’s acceptance of or payment for Items. These terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties and no change to or modification of any order shall be binding upon Buyer unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Buyer’s procurement or purchasing office at Buyer’s place of business issuing such order.
2. PROTECTION OF PROPERTY AND INFORMATION.
A. PROPERTY.
(1) For the purpose of these General Purchase Order Provisions, “Property” shall mean all materials, equipment, tools, and facilities, if any, furnished to Seller by Buyer, or paid for by Buyer under any order, as well as any replacements thereof.
(2) Title to all Property shall be vested in Buyer with the right to demand possession at any time. Seller may use Property only in the performance of work for Buyer. Buyer does not warrant any aspect of the Property.
(3) Seller bears the risk of loss of all Property that is in the custody or control of Seller or any supplier or subcontractor to whom Seller delivers Property as permitted under Article 2.A.(6), below.
(4) Seller will establish and maintain a system to control, protect, preserve, and maintain all Property in good condition and repair. All Property is subject to removal and return at Buyer’s written request, in which event Seller, at Buyer’s expense, will prepare such Property for shipment and deliver it to Buyer in the same condition as originally received by Seller, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
(5) Upon completion or termination of each order, Seller will retain, or cause the third party to which Seller is permitted to deliver custody pursuant to Section 2.A(6) to retain, all Property at its expense until disposition directions are received from Buyer.
(6) Seller may not deliver custody of any Property to any person or entity other than Buyer without Buyer’s prior written permission not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If with Buyer’s prior written permission Seller furnishes Property to any supplier or subcontractor of Seller for use in performance of Buyer’s orders, Seller shall (i) insert the substance of this Section 2.A in all orders to such supplier or subcontractor; and (ii) remain responsible hereunder for any breach by such supplier or subcontractor of this Section 2.A.
B. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
C. AFTERMARKET ACTIVITY.
(1) For the purpose of these General Purchase Order Provisions: (i) “Controlled Product” shall mean anything designed, developed, or created using Buyer’s Confidential Information (“Information”); (ii) “Buyer Part” shall mean any component, part, or detail of any component or part, designed, manufactured and/or sold by Buyer; and (iii) “Aftermarket Activity” shall mean transactions (including sales to third parties, including the U.S. Government) for products or services by Seller related to or based on the following: (a) creating a repair for a Buyer part; (b) designing a new part that is similar or identical to a Buyer Part; (c) comparing a Buyer Part design with another part design; (d) obtaining Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pursuant to Part 21.303 of the Federal Aviation Regulations; (e) obtaining approval from a Designated Engineering Representative (DER) under FAA Order 8110.4 to repair a Buyer Part; or (f) obtaining any other governmental approval to manufacture or repair a Buyer Part.
(2) Except pursuant to Buyer’s prior written permission, Seller shall not use (or assist others in using) Information to engage in Aftermarket Activity.
(3) Except to the extent permitted by the License Agreement, Seller must obtain Buyer’s written permission before selling any Controlled Product or Proprietary Product to any third party purporting to purchase Products under authority of Buyer.
D. TRAINING OF EMPLOYEES. Seller will maintain adequate processes to protect Buyer’s Property and Information from improper use and/or disclosure, and will train its employees appropriately to follow such processes.
E. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
3. DELIVERIES AND SHIPMENTS. Delivery of Items in accordance with the schedule are a material requirement of each order. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Seller will, at its expense, ship by express or air shipment or by the most expeditious way if the delivery schedule is endangered for any reason other than Buyer’s fault. Buyer reserves the right to reject all or any part of any delivery that varies from the quantity authorized by Buyer for shipment. All Items shall be packaged in accordance with Buyer’s instructions or, if none are specified, in accordance with good commercial practice in a manner sufficient to ensure arrival in an undamaged condition. Items shipped in advance of Buyer’s delivery schedule and outside the applicable interval set forth in the last sentence of Section 8(a) of the Contract may be returned at Seller’s expense. If requested by Buyer, Seller shall give notice of shipment to Buyer at the time of delivery of any shipment of Items to a carrier for transportation.
4. PERFORMANCE ASSURANCE PLAN. At Buyer’s direction, Seller will provide Buyer with a Performance Assurance Plan prepared in accordance with procedures established by Buyer showing Seller’s work in process and yield factors for each major process step. Buyer may impose this plan where, in Buyer’s opinion, there is a significant risk in meeting performance or delivery requirements. The Performance Assurance Plan will demonstrate Seller’s work in process and yield factors in Seller’s format.
5. INSPECTION. Notwithstanding (i) payment, (ii) passage of title, or (iii) prior inspection or test, all Items are subject to final inspection and acceptance or rejection by Buyer at Buyer’s facility. At all reasonable times, including the period of manufacture, Buyer, its customers, and/or representatives of the FAA or other cognizant aviation regulatory bodies may inspect and/or test the Items to be furnished hereunder at the places where the work is being performed, including those of the Seller’s suppliers, and Seller shall provide, without additional charge, reasonable facilities and assistance for safe and convenient inspection and test. Buyer may inspect 100% or a sample of all Items or any lot of Items at Buyer’s option, and Buyer shall have the right to reject all or any portion of the Items or lot of Items if any such inspection reveals them to be, in Buyer’s sole opinion, defective or nonconforming. Seller shall provide and maintain a test and inspection system acceptable to Buyer and its customers, if required. Records of all inspection work by Seller shall be kept complete and available to Buyer and its customers during the performance hereof and for seven (7) years after final payment by Buyer or for such longer period as may be specified elsewhere
6. WARRANTY.
A. Seller warrants to Buyer, its successors and customers that for a period of twenty-four (24) months after acceptance of Items, that all Items furnished to Buyer (i) will be free from defects in material and workmanship; (ii) will conform to applicable drawings, designs, quality control plans, specifications, and samples; (iii) will be merchantable; (iv) will be fit for the particular purpose for which they are intended; (v) will comply with all laws; and (vi) will be free from liens and other encumbrances, and, to the extent an order calls for services to be performed, that such services will be free from defects in workmanship, will meet all of the requirements of each order and will be performed to the highest standards of workmanship in the industry (all of which are hereinafter collectively called “Conforming Items”).
B. In the event Conforming Items are not furnished, within twenty (20) days after the non-Conforming Item is returned to Seller, Seller shall at its cost repair, correct or replace (at Buyer’s election among these alternatives) such non-Conforming Items. The failure of Seller to repair or replace and redeliver such non-Conforming Items within such twenty (20) day period shall entitle Buyer, at its election and in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have at law or in equity, to have such non-Conforming Items corrected at Seller’s expense. In addition to the costs of repairing or replacing such non-Conforming Items Seller agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of any warranties, expressed or otherwise, negotiated with respect to Items purchased from Seller by Buyer or Buyer’s customers, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for labor and material cost, including overhead and general administrative (G&A) expense reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with: (i) the unscheduled removal and/or replacement of such Items or components thereof from a higher level assembly due to failure of such Items to conform to requirements of the applicable order or defective material, workmanship, or design; (ii) any such removal of said Items at Seller’s request; or (iii) any such removal of said Items required due to any previously required changes to said Items which Seller has failed to incorporate.
C. The warranty period shall be suspended upon notice that non-Conforming Items have been furnished until they have been repaired or replaced and redelivered to Buyer postage or freight prepaid, or in the case of nonconforming services, have been corrected. The un-expired portion of the warranty shall be applicable to the repaired, replaced or corrected Conforming Items.
7. CHANGES.
A. Buyer may, at any time, by a written change order, without notice to any sureties, make changes in any one or more of the following: (i) drawings, designs, specifications, where the Items to be furnished are to be specially manufactured for the Buyer in accordance therewith; (ii) method of shipment or packing; (iii) place or time of inspection, delivery, or acceptance; (iv) the quantity and/or type of services ordered, (v) the work or service schedules, or (vi) the amount of any Buyer furnished property. No claim by Seller for adjustment hereunder shall be allowed unless made in writing for a specified amount within twenty (20) days from the date notice of any such change is received by Seller. If Seller considers that the conduct, statement or direction of any of Buyer’s employees constitutes a change hereunder, Seller shall notify Buyer’s authorized representative and take no action on the perceived change pending written approval of Buyer’s authorized representative. Only Buyer’s authorized representative has authority to approve a change. Any change made by Seller without such written approval shall be deemed voluntary by Seller and not compensable in the cost of or time required for performance. Nothing in this Article shall excuse Seller from proceeding with performance of the affected order as changed.
B. Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of these General Purchase Order Provisions, Seller hereby agrees that any changes that are made to meet the specified performance requirements of any order shall not entitle Seller to any adjustment in either price or delivery.
8. DESIGN CHANGES. During performance of any order, Seller shall not make any changes in the design of Items to be furnished by Seller under such order without advance written notification to and written approval of Buyer. The above requirement applies whether or not there is a cost impact associated with the change and regardless of the type of change involved, including product improvements.
9. STOP WORK ORDERS. Buyer may, at any time by written order, require Seller to stop all or any part of the work under any order for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery of such stop work order, and for any further period as the parties may agree. Immediately upon receipt of such stop work order, Seller shall comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurring of costs allocable to the work stoppage. At any time during such period, Buyer may, in whole or in part, either cancel the stop work order or terminate the affected order in accordance with Article 10.A., Termination, of these General Purchase Order Provisions. To the extent the stop work order is canceled or expires, Seller shall resume work. If a stop work order is the sole and exclusive cause of a material change in cost or delivery, an adjustment shall be made in the price (excluding profit) or the delivery schedule, or both and the affected order modified accordingly; provided, however, that no adjustment in price or delivery shall be made under this Article If, (i) the work would have been otherwise interrupted or delayed, or (ii) such adjustment is available or expressly excluded under any other provision of such order or these General Purchase Order Provisions. No claim for adjustment shall be allowed unless submitted to Buyer in writing in a specified amount within twenty (20) days after the work is terminated or the stop work order expires or is canceled whichever first occurs.
10. TERMINATION.
A. By written notice, Buyer may terminate any order or any part thereof, for its sole convenience. In the event of such termination, Seller shall immediately stop all work hereunder and shall immediately cause all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of these General Purchase Order Provisions, Seller shall be paid a portion of the order price reflecting the actual costs incurred for the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges Seller can demonstrate to the satisfaction of Buyer using its standard record keeping system, that have resulted from the termination. Seller shall submit its claim no later than six (6) months after receipt of the termination notice. Seller shall make reasonably available to Buyer or Buyer’s representative, any books, records and papers supporting its claim and such claims shall be subject to the audit provisions of Section 19 of the Contract. Seller shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which should have been avoided. Upon Buyer’s payment to Seller in accordance with this Section 10.A., title to all equipment, materials, work-in-progress, special tooling, finished products, and anything acquired for the affected order, and any plans, drawings, specifications, Information, and other things that would have been required to be delivered to Buyer, shall vest in Buyer.
B. By written notice, Buyer may terminate any order in whole or in part: (i) if Seller fails or refuses to perform in accordance with any of the requirements of such order or of the Contract with respect to such order, or to make progress so as to endanger performance hereunder (a “Default”), (ii) if Seller becomes insolvent or suspends any of its operations or if any petition is filed or proceeding commenced by or against Seller (whether voluntary or involuntary) under any federal or state law, or under any agreement, instrument, security interest, or similar arrangement, relating to bankruptcy, arrangement among debtor and creditors, reorganization, receivership or assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) if Seller fails to provide Buyer, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance of the affected order within the time period requested by Buyer, or (iv) if Seller engages in any use or disclosure of Information that is not expressly permitted under the terms of these General Purchase Order Provisions or Section 23 of the Contract. Any such termination will be without liability to Buyer except for completed Items delivered and accepted by Buyer, payment for which can be set off against damages to Buyer. Buyer shall also have the right to remove any Product of the type affected by such termination from the scope of the exclusivity obligations set forth in Section 4(b) of the Contract. Buyer may require Seller to transfer title and deliver to Buyer any or all property produced or procured by Seller for performance of the work completed as of the termination and Seller shall be credited with the reasonable value thereof not to exceed Seller’s actual incurred costs or the order price, whichever is less. Seller will be liable for actual and substantiated damages caused by or resulting from its material default including but not limited to excess costs of re-procurement. If, after a termination of an order pursuant to clause (i), (iii), or (iv) of this Section 10.B., it is determined that Seller was not in Default, that adequate assurances had been provided, or that Seller had a legal right to use or disclose Information, the termination shall be deemed a termination of such order for convenience in accordance with Section 10.A. Buyer or its designee shall have the right to audit all elements of any termination claim pursuant to Section 19 of the Contract and Seller shall make available to Buyer or Buyer’s designee on request all books, records, and papers relating thereto. Termination of an order pursuant to this Section 10.B. shall be without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of Buyer under the Contract, other provisions of these General Purchase Order Provisions, law or equity.
C. To the extent an order is not terminated pursuant to Sections 10.A. or 10.B., above, Seller shall continue performance.
11. EXCUSABLE DELAYS. Neither party shall be in default for any delay or failure to perform hereunder due to causes beyond its control despite the exercise of all commercially reasonable efforts, and without its fault or negligence; provided, that any delay or failure to perform caused by the default of a supplier of Seller at any lower-tier shall be excused only if (i) it is beyond the control of both Seller and such supplier and without the fault or negligence of either, (ii) the parts to be furnished are not obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit Seller to meet the delivery schedule, and (iii) Seller furnishes prompt written notice to Buyer of the occurrence of any such cause that will or may delay Seller’s performance; and that no delay or failure to perform shall be excused if it is caused by a labor strike, stoppage, slow-down or other labor dispute. If delivery of any Item is delayed by any excusable delay for more than forty-five (45) days, Buyer may, without any additional extension, cancel all or part of any order with respect to the delayed Item without liability, and exercise any of its remedies in accordance with Article 10.B.
12. PRICES, TAXES AND NEW MATERIAL. Seller warrants that none of the items furnished under any order are surplus, used, remanufactured or reconditioned or of such age or so deteriorated as to impair the usefulness or safety thereof, unless otherwise specifically stated on the face of the applicable order. Unless otherwise provided on the face of the applicable order, THE PRICES APPEARING THEREIN INCLUDE ALL PACKAGING, CRATING, AND FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES, IF APPLICABLE, AND ARE FIRM FOR THE DELIVERY PERIOD SHOWN, AND IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PRICES SET FORTH IN AN ORDER AND THE PRICES SET FORTH IN THE CONTRACT, THE PRICES SET FORTH IN THE CONTRACT SHALL CONTROL.
13. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
14. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
15. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Nothing contained herein shall operate to waive or limit Buyer’s right to seek injunctive relief with respect to any breach or threatened breach by Seller of its obligations under these General Purchase Order Provisions.
16. PATENT, TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY. To the extent Seller obtains or has such right or protection from a sub-tier supplier, Seller shall do the following: Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any and all damages, costs, including legal fees, losses, and liabilities resulting from a suit, claim, or proceeding of alleged infringement of any Intellectual Property rights by reason of the sale or use of any Item sold to Buyer hereunder, and from reasonable expenses incurred by Buyer in defense of such suit, claim, or proceeding if Seller does not undertake the defense thereof; provided, that Seller is notified of any such suit and, except for suits against the U.S. Government, Buyer offers Seller full and exclusive control of the defense of such suit, claim, or proceeding when Items of Seller only are involved therein or the right to participate in the defense of such suit, claim, or proceeding when products other than those of Seller are also involved therein; except that, this indemnity shall not extend to infringement resulting solely from Seller’s compliance with Buyer’s specific designs. In the event of an injunction or restraining order, Seller shall, at its own expense, either procure for Buyer the right to continue to sell and use the Item, or replace or modify the Item so that it becomes non-infringing. Seller shall also indemnify Buyer’s customers and agents for such infringement if and to the extent that Buyer has agreed so to indemnify them, but to no greater extent than Seller has indemnified Buyer herein and under the same conditions as set forth herein.
17. INDEMNIFICATION. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its directors, officers, employees, agents and invitees from and against all liability, demands, claims, losses, costs, damages, and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, by reason or on account of property damage, death, and personal injury of whatsoever nature or kind arising out of, as a result of, or in connection with the performance of any order or the Contract that is occasioned by the willful or negligent actions or omissions of, or material breach of the Contract by, Seller or its suppliers or subcontractors at any tier.
18. INSURANCE. Seller will maintain and carry liability insurance which includes but is not limited to commercial general liability (including product liability and for services to be performed, completed operations liability) in a sum no less than $5 million, automobile liability in a sum no less than $5 million, workmen’s compensation in an amount no less than the applicable statutory minimum requirement and employer’s liability in an amount of no less than $1 million, with insurance carriers acceptable to Buyer. Seller will, if requested by Buyer, furnish certificates of insurance from its carrier(s) on the foregoing coverages, which shall provide that such coverage shall not be changed without thirty (30) days advance written notification to Buyer from the carrier(s).
19. KEY PERSONNEL. Seller’s personnel listed or identified as Key Personnel in any order are considered by Buyer to be critical to the successful performance of such order, and were a substantial factor in Buyer’s decision to award such order to Seller. Buyer may consider any change by Seller in its Key Personnel as grounds for termination of any affected order under Section 10.B.
20. PERFORMANCE OF INDIVIDUALS. Upon determination by Buyer, at any time, that the performance of Seller’s employees assigned to the work under any order does not meet Buyer’s required standards, which shall be consistent with the industry and reasonable and upon notification to Seller of such determination, the failure of Seller to take appropriate corrective action satisfactory to Buyer will be a cause for Buyer termination of such order under Section 10.B.
21. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT, INTEGRITY, AND COMPLIANCE. Honeywell conducts its business in strict compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations with honesty and integrity and with a strong commitment to the highest standards of business ethics. In addition, it is the policy of Honeywell to enter into representation or supplier agreements only with companies which have a demonstrated record of, and commitment to, the highest ethical standards. Seller agrees that Seller will, at all times, adhere to the standards set forth in Honeywell’s “Code of Business Conduct” (hereinafter “Code”) and will fully comply and take all necessary steps to assist Buyer in complying with the Code as well as any other customary standards of business conduct prescribed by law or regulation. A copy of the Code may be obtained at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. Seller shall, at all times, carefully comply with all rules, laws and regulations pertaining to entertainment or providing gratuities.
22. NOTICE TO BUYER OF LABOR DISPUTES. Whenever Seller has knowledge that any actual or potential labor dispute is delaying or threatens to delay the timely performance of each order, Seller shall immediately give notice thereof, including all relevant information with respect thereto, to Buyer. Seller shall include this paragraph in each lower-tier subcontract under any order.
23. SELLER’S STATUS. It is understood and agreed that Seller and/or its employees engaged in the performance of the Contract and/or any order by Seller, are not employees of Buyer and are not entitled to Buyer employee benefits or privileges or any payment from Buyer (other than as expressly provided for in any order) and the Seller shall pay the salaries or expenses, applicable taxes, including Social Security and unemployment of said employees. Seller shall also pay any expenses normally paid by an employer in connection with its employees assigned to Buyer. The Seller is and shall be deemed to be an Independent Contractor at all times during its performance of the work specified in each order.
24. FOREIGN MANUFACTURE OF U.S. MUNITIONS LIST ARTICLES.
A. If Seller has received technical data, manufacturing drawings, specifications, software or similar type items from Buyer, it is the responsibility of Seller to ensure compliance with all U.S. export laws and regulations. These laws include, but are not limited to, (i) Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act as enumerated in 22 CFR Parts 120-130, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and (ii) Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended in 15 CFR Parts 730-774 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
B. No technical data, manufacturing drawings, specifications, software or similar type items shall be transferred, disclosed or exported to “Foreign Persons” without specifically obtaining approvals from the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Defense Trade Controls or from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, as required.
C. In the event that Seller is unable to comply with the U.S. export laws and regulations as listed above, prior written authorization of Buyer must be obtained by Seller if Seller intends to transfer, disclose or export any technical data, manufacturing drawings, specifications, software or similar type items to any “Foreign Persons” as defined in the above stated laws and regulations. Seller agrees to abide by all limitations and provisos and/or riders and conditions listed on any licenses or other approvals issued by the U.S. Department of State or the U.S. Department of Commerce.
25. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
A. Seller shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, Executive Orders, rules and regulations during performance of the Contract and all orders, including but not limited to, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 as amended (“OSHA”); Toxic Substances Control Act as amended (“TSCA”); the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 as amended (“FLSA”); the Clean Air Act as amended; the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) as amended; and the Anti Kickback Act of 1986 as amended.
B. Seller agrees to furnish documentation, within seven (7) days of Buyer’s request, regarding payment, offer, or agreement to pay “political contributions” or “fees or commissions” (as those terms are defined at 22 CFR 130) with respect to any sale by the Buyer for which a license or approval is required from the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department of State or any sale pursuant to a contract with the Department of Defense under Section 22 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. § 2762).
C. Seller warrants that all representations and certifications furnished by Seller as required by law or regulation in connection with each order are accurate, current and complete as of the effective date of such order, and that to Seller’s knowledge no person has been paid a kickback or illegal gratuity in connection with such order or the Contract. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer and its customers harmless for any loss, damage or expenses sustained because any certification or representation herein or in any order, or required by law or regulation, made by Seller was inaccurate, non-current or incomplete or due to Seller’s non compliance with any applicable law or regulation.
D. To the extent it is applicable to Seller’s Items, Seller shall at all times be in compliance with the Fastener Quality Act (Public Law 101-592 as amended by Public Law 105-234) as amended from time to time (the “Act”). Seller shall defend (with counsel of Buyer’s choosing), indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any and all claims, demands and causes of action brought by Buyer or by any third party against Buyer in any manner relating to Seller’s failure to comply with the Act. Seller’s indemnity shall include, but not be limited to, reimbursement of any costs associated with any return, recall or retrofit of parts sold under any order which are not in compliance with the Act.
E. To the extent applicable to Seller’s Items, Seller shall conform to the requirements of European Union (EU) Directive 2003/11/EC relating to restrictions on the marking and use of certain substances and preparations containing the brominated fire retardant Pentabromodiphenyl ether (PentaBDE) and Octabromodiphenyl ether (OctaBDE). Seller shall defend (with counsel of Buyer’s choosing), indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any and all claims, demands and causes of action brought by Buyer or by any third party against Buyer in any manner relating to Seller’s failure to comply with this directive. Seller’s indemnity shall include, but not be limited to, reimbursement of any costs associated with any return, recall or retrofit of parts sold under any order which are not in compliance with the Directive.
F. Seller will comply with all applicable national, EU, state/provincial and local environmental, health and safety laws, regulations or directives.

Seller agrees that it will include any Buyer “Identified Use” in its REACH registrations or applications for authorization pursuant to REACH unless Seller notifies Buyer in writing that it rejects such “Identified Use” in order to protect human health or the environment and specifies the reason for such rejection. In such case Buyer shall have the right to terminate any order without incurring any costs or damages.
H. Additionally, unless Seller provides Buyer with a written material declaration showing such substances and obtains Buyer’s prior written consent or Buyer clearly specifies such substances in each order, no Items will contain any of the substances identified in Article 4.1 of the European Parliament Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS Directive) as that Directive is updated from time to time, or similar laws or regulations identified by Buyer, restricting the use of hazardous materials in other jurisdictions.

J. Seller will be responsible for all costs and liabilities for or relating to the recycling of Items pursuant to the most current version of European Parliament Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE Directive) as such Directive is implemented in each country, or similar laws or regulations identified by Buyer.

28. DISPUTES.
A. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim in any way arising out of the Contract or any order (a “Dispute”), upon the written notice of either party hereto, the parties hereto shall attempt to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. If the parties hereto are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within 30 days after the receipt of such notice, the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with Section 28 B. hereof.
B. Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 28 A. hereof shall, at the request of either party hereto (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to non-binding mediation in accordance with the then current CPR Mediation Procedure (the “Procedure”), except as modified herein. The mediation shall be held in New York, New York. The parties shall have 20 days from receipt by a party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the parties within 20 days of receipt by a party of a Mediation Request, then either party may request (on written notice to the other party), that the CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the Procedure. All mediation pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations, and no oral or documentary representations made by the parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings.
