Exceptions will be granted for items that are packaged in large quantities and are considered non-cancellable, nonreturnable by the SUPPLIER once the packaging is opened or a piece is consumed. [***]. BUYER agrees that within the Products being manufactured, there are standard parts, non-standard parts and non-cancellable, non-returnable parts. BUYER’s maximum liability for standard parts will be to the Build Plan or the Components Lead-time whichever is less, and which cannot be returned for credit or consumed on any other of the SUPPLIER’s manufactured products, with the exception of items that are packaged in large quantities and such large package quantities must be approved by BUYER in writing. BUYER’s maximum liability for non-standard parts will be to the Build Plan or the Components Lead-time whichever is less plus any Components held in VMI which cannot be returned for credit or consumed on any other of the SUPPLIER’s manufactured products, plus Components on-order within the Component Lead-time cancellation window (SUPPLIER will use best efforts to cancel or mitigate BUYER’s exposure). BUYER’s maximum liability for non-cancellable, non-returnable parts will be to the inventory on-hand plus the total quantity on-order. Each Product-specific Statement of Work will identify any requirements that deviate from these guidelines. [***]. |
6.1.2 | Material Management. SUPPLIER will, at a minimum, at no additional cost to Buyer, comply with the following obligations to ensure good Component material management for the Products: (a) ensure Component level failure analysis is performed by the vendor; (b) expedite Component returns, failure analysis and corrective actions regarding defective Components with the vendors and promptly communicate this information to BUYER; (c) actively work with vendors to reduce Component Leadtime and costs; (d) address poor Component yields with vendors and promptly provide analysis and corrective plans regarding same to BUYER; and (e) provide regular performance feedback to vendors, with a copy to BUYER.

If BUYER, in its reasonable opinion, believes that any Product or part thereof contains a defect in materials or workmanship, or otherwise fails to conform to the Specifications, during the warranty period, SUPPLIER shall at its expense correct any such defect by repairing such defective Product or part or, at BUYER’s option, by delivering to BUYER an equivalent Product or part replacing such defective Product or part. Except as set forth in the immediately following sentence, nonconforming and/or defective Products shall be managed in accordance with Exhibit H. In the event a Product completely fails to function within the first seventy-two (72) hours of installation (dead-on-arrival or DOA), SUPPLIER agrees to replace the failed Product with a new Product and will ship replacement within four (4) hours of notification using same day, if possible, or at the latest next day delivery. SUPPLIER shall waive any expedite charges to BUYER in order to affect earliest reasonable replacement of such defective Product(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a unit of the Product under warranty should fail owing to a defective Component part, SUPPLIER shall manage the warranty process and provide assistance and information to BUYER required to enforce, or pass on SUPPLIER’s rights or otherwise support BUYER in order to enforce the original manufacturers’ warranty terms, this includes BUYER providing evidence, testimony engagement of, and working with expert witnesses in any claim for damages against the Component manufacturer. |

Such failure rate shall be calculated as the greater of: (i) the total number of units of the applicable Product family that contain such defects divided by the total number of units of that Product family shipped by BUYER to date, or (ii) the total number of units in the applicable Product family that have been registered with BUYER that contain such defects divided by the total number of units of that Product family that have been registered with BUYER to date, as determined by BUYER in its sole discretion. SUPPLIER shall immediately take corrective action with respect to the Failure Trend to reduce the failure rate of the applicable Product family to one percent (1%) or less by the last day of the calendar month following the occurrence of the Failure Trend. If SUPPLIER is unable to reduce such failure rate to one percent (1%) or less by the last day of such following calendar month, BUYER, at its sole discretion, may return any defective Product to SUPPLIER for evaluation and repair in accordance with Exhibit H. In addition, nothing in this Section shall have any effect on, and BUYER shall retain all of its rights and remedies herein. This Section shall not apply if the Failure Trend is caused by (i) a design required by the Specifications or (ii) a failure by a Component required by the Specifications. |

Table C-2
Overhead Rate Methodology
Timing |
Activity | |
Initial Cost Program Setup |
• Assign Product to an Overhead category containing like Products with similar support requirements.
• Establish actual costs for Indirect Labor and Facilities for each Product family.
• Define Overhead rates for each category as the median of per-unit costs for all Products in that category.
• Define boundaries of each category to be the midpoint between the Overhead rate for that category and the next lower/higher category.
• Compare actual costs per Product to the category boundaries. Re-assign Products to lower/higher categories when actual costs for that Product are outside the boundaries for the initially-assigned category. | |
Annually | • Reset Overhead rates for each category based on current actual support costs, as mutually assessed and agreed.
• Establish quarterly volume forecast by Product family and volume variability limits which would shift the Product family to a higher/lower category. | |
Quarterly | • Shift Products to different Overhead categories based on current actual support requirements, and establish the appropriate volume adjustment to reflect prior quarter actual family volumes. |

Overhead adjustments
On a quarterly basis, BUYER and SUPPLIER will adjust the Product family Overhead rate based upon the prior quarter actual volume for the Product family. In the case of volumes significantly above or below the volumes planned in the annual rate setting process, an adjustment factor shall be applied to the actual Overhead rate to compensate for Overhead over or under absorption as set forth in Table C-4 (“Adjustment Factor”). The quarterly rate will be calculated as follows: [Product family Overhead rate] x [Adjustment Factor].

Depreciation and Equipment charges will be allocated to product cost on a proportionate basis based upon actual usage of the equipment, utilizing the amortization schedule as indicated in Table C-5. The parties will agree on the applied charges on a product basis as part of the quarterly pricing process. In the event that there are insufficient units to apply the depreciation charges on a quarterly basis the parties will mutually agree to an alternative billing mechanism for SUPPLIER to recover depreciation cost.

In the event anticipated volumes during a quarter are insufficient to fully absorb the depreciation the following quarter’s pricing will be adjusted to ensure “true-up” of the full amount within the quarter.
SUPPLIER may use the Acquired Equipment for SUPPLIER’s other customers as long as no BUYER intellectual property is used without BUYER’s prior written consent. Depreciation will be calculated by excluding the proportionate share of the Acquired Equipment used or made available for use by SUPPLIER’s other customers.

(iii) CM Xxxx-up will be priced equal to the CM Xxxx-Up for volume production.
Volume Discounts
For each Product, BUYER shall establish volume discounts for Overhead and CM Xxxx-Ups upon Product volume reaching established thresholds. For Overhead, BUYER shall set a percentage change in the Overhead cost for all Overhead categories based on a set deviation from the standard volume in such Overhead categories. For CM Xxxx-Up, BUYER shall set a percentage reduction in the CM Xxxx-Up cost for all Products upon reaching a series of volume thresholds using the prior quarter’s actual total business volume with the SUPPLIER as set forth in Table C-6.
Overhead and CM Xxxx-Up rates based upon volume shall be established/reset on an annual basis, and applied each quarter using volumes from the prior quarter, except as adjusted in Section 27 above.
