(1) Products. The Parties may include additional product and models as further agreed in writing from time to time. Seller hereby represents and warrants that the Products do not and shall not infringe on the products or intellectual property of any third party. Product related documentation, including owner’s manuals, service manuals, and other information Buyer may request for Buyer’s purposes or to comply with the requirements of various laws or regulations shall be delivered with the Products ordered hereunder.
(2) Price. The price for the Product is to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer and set forth in Exhibit A. Pricing may be changed from time to time as requested by either Party. Any such adjustments to the pricing, including an effective date to be used, shall be reviewed and agreed upon in a writing signed by each Party.

(3) Continuous Improvement. Seller shall work together with Buyer to achieve continuous improvement in the areas of product performance, technology, quality, service, delivery, and cost.

(4) Product Development. Seller shall manufacture the Products in accordance with the Specifications and in conformance with any industry standards applicable to the Products. Buyer shall maintain design control but may request Seller use local engineering resources as needed. Either Party may initiate an Engineering Change Request (ECR) for the purpose of modifying Product Specifications. Seller will inform Buyer of any related cost differences.

(6) Acceptance, Rejection, and Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Buyer shall order its desired quantities of Products (including accessories or spare parts) to be provided by Seller under this Agreement by means of purchase orders (the “Purchase Orders”). Purchase Orders shall be in writing and specify the Product, accessories and/or spare parts, as well as the applicable price (as set forth in Exhibit A), quantity, Delivery Date, and other items as agreed by the Seller and Buyer. Seller shall confirm to Buyer in writing via email the receipt of each Purchase Order (each, a “Confirmation”) within three (3) Business Days. Each Confirmation must reference Buyer’s Purchase Order number and either (a) verify acceptance of the Purchase Order, (b) propose adjustments to Product quantities or ship dates for negotiation until the Parties can achieve mutual agreement, or (c) reject the Purchase Order with explanation. If Seller fails to issue a Confirmation within seven (7) Business Days, Seller will be deemed to have accepted the Purchase Order (each confirmed or accepted Purchase Order being an “Accepted Purchase Order”). Buyer may withdraw any Purchase Order prior to Seller’s acceptance of such Purchase Order. Seller may not change or cancel any Accepted Purchase Order without Buyer’s written consent. Buyer may make one or more change requests (each, a “Change Request”) to any pending or Accepted Purchase Order, and such Change Requests shall be subject to the same Confirmation requirements and processes set forth in this Section. Seller agrees to take all reasonable steps to meet Buyer’s Change Requests for increased or accelerated shipments of Products. If any of Seller’s Products, semi-finished Products, material, Tooling and/or parts cannot be used due to Buyer’s cancellation of any Purchase Order, Buyer shall compensate Seller for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred therefrom. If any terms and conditions contained in a Purchase Order conflict with any terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the applicable term or condition of this Agreement will prevail.
(7) No Right to Manufacture and Sell Products or Similar Products to Other Parties. During the Term, and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, Seller shall not manufacture or sell to any person or entity other than Buyer, or enter into any agreement with any person or entity other than Buyer, relating to the manufacture or sale of the Products or any other goods or products that are similar to or competitive with the Products. Seller shall not, at any time, use any of Buyer’s Intellectual Property Rights to manufacture or sell Products or other goods or products that are similar to or competitive with the Products to any other buyer.
3
(8) Quantity and Forecasts. Buyer may provide Seller with a rolling forecast of its Product orders for a period of eight (8) months. Forecasts are for informational purposes only and do not create any binding obligations on behalf of either Party.
(9) Replacement Parts. To enable Buyer to efficiently replace missing, damaged or defective Products, Seller will supply spare parts (“Replacement Parts”) at no cost to Buyer in quantities of up to 3% of the volume of each Product purchased. Buyer’s order of Replacement Parts (each, a “Replacement Part Purchase Order”) may be made either (a) in conjunction with initial orders to establish replacement part inventory or (b) from time to time to maintain sufficient inventory. Specific replenishment quantities will be determined based on whether parts are unique to a model or common to multiple models, probability of failure, historical use, projected volume, and delivery lead times. Buyer will make commercially reasonable efforts to order Replacement Parts aligned with Seller’s scheduled production runs for the Product(s) associated with such Replacement Parts.
(10) Seller-Provided Information. Seller shall provide Buyer with the following information in a timely fashion as requested: production capacity, production schedule, and available inventory during each month during of the Term; Purchase Order status (in terms of production or shipping); quote status; sample status (in terms of production or shipping); Tooling asset list; bills of material; product specifications, parameters and dimensions; and product designs, plans and schematics in a complete and common file format.
