Kornit shall be responsible for maintenance and repairs of the Consigned Tooling and Equipment. Sanmina shall be responsible for any physical damage caused to Consigned Tooling and Equipment by Sanmina’s malicious and/or grossly negligent behavior.
9. | Forecasts |
Kornit will provide Sanmina a rolling forecast covering the period of current +6 (six) calendar months (the “Forecast”). The Forecast will specify the number of units of the Products Kornit anticipates purchasing during such six (6) month period. The Forecast will be binding only with respect to purchase of Long Lead-time Components. The Forecast will not be binding for any other purpose and will not be regarded by either Party as a commitment to order, purchase, deliver or meet any volume commitment specified therein. Sanmina shall make commercially reasonable efforts to purchase the Long Lead-time Components as latest as possible, according to their respective lead time Kornit may adjust the Forecast at its reasonable discretion at any time and according to the flexibility model.
A. | Initial Forecast. Customer shall provide Sanmina with an initial thirty (30) day firm Purchase Order (“Order”) and Forecast for Product requirements (in monthly buckets) for an additional six (6) months. The Order - and all subsequent Orders - shall be binding and may be rescheduled only in accordance with Section D, below. Sanmina shall make purchase commitments (including purchase commitments for Long Lead-time Components) to its Component suppliers (“Vendors”) based upon the Order and Forecast (only with respect to the Long Lead-time Components), and Customer shall be responsible for all such Components purchased in support of Customer’s then-current Forecast. For all other purposes, however, the Forecast shall be non-binding. |
B. | Subsequent Forecasts. On the first business day of each calendar month after the initial Order and Forecast, the first Forecast month shall automatically become part of the Order, a new Forecast month shall be added, and a new firm Order issued, so that a rolling Order of thirty (30) days is always maintained. |
6
C. | Material Requirement Planning Process. |
1. | Sanmina shall take the Order and Forecast and generate a Master Production Schedule (“MPS”) for a six-month period in accordance with the process described in this Section. The MPS shall define the master plan on which Sanmina shall base its procurement, internal capacity projections and commitments. Sanmina shall use Customer’s Order to generate the first two (2) months of the MPS and shall use Customer’s Forecast to generate the subsequent six (6) months of the MPS. |
2. | Sanmina shall process the MPS through industry-standard software that will break down Customer’s Product requirements into Component requirements. When no Product testing (in-circuit or functional testing) is required by Customer, Sanmina will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule delivery of all Components to Sanmina eleven working days before the Products are scheduled to ship to Customer; in the event Product testing is required, Sanmina will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule delivery of all Components to Sanmina [***] working days before the Products are scheduled to ship to Customer. |
3. | Sanmina will release purchase orders to Vendors prior to the anticipated date that the Components are needed by Sanmina. The date on which these orders are released will depend on the lead time determined between the Vendor and Sanmina and Sanmina’s manufacturing or materials planning systems, provided that any order will be made as late as possible. |
4. | A list of all Components with lead times greater than ninety days (“Long Lead-time Components”) shall be provided. Sanmina shall update the list of Long Lead-time Components every quarter and present an updated list of Long Lead-time Components to Kornit at the time Sanmina presents Kornit with the E&O List described in Section E, below. Each revised Long Lead-time Item list shall be deemed an amendment to Exhibit B. In the event Sanmina fails to present an updated list of Long Lead-time Components, the parties shall continue to rely on the preceding list (as updated in writing by the parties). It is agreed that it is Sanmina’s responsibility to update Kornit with any extended lead time or changes in the standard lead time of BOM components. |
5. | Kornit acknowledges that Sanmina will order Components in quantities sufficient to support up to six months of Kornit’s Forecast. For the avoidance of doubt, Kornit will be required to issue a Purchase Order only with respect to the Long Lead-time Components which were ordered by Sanmina. In determining the quantity of Components to order, Sanmina divides the Components into three classes, “Class A,” “Class B” and “Class C.” Class A Components are comprised of the approximately [***] percent ([***]%) of Components constituting approximately [***] percent ([***]%) of the Product’s total Component cost. Class C Components are comprised of the approximately [***] percent ([***]%) of Components constituting approximately [***] percent ([***]%) of the Product Cost. Class B Components are comprised of the remaining [***] percent ([***]%) of Components constituting approximately [***] percent ([***]%) of the Products cost. Sanmina will place orders with .its Vendors for approximately [***] worth of Class A Components, [***] worth of Class B Components and [***] worth of Class C Components. A summary of Sanmina’s purchase commitments is set forth in the table below. |
7
Part Class | Expected Percentage of Total Parts | Expected Percentage of Total Value (of Gross Requirements) | Periods Worth of Supply to be Bought with Each Order | |||
A | [***]% | [***]% | [***] | |||
B | [***]% | [***]% | [***] | |||
C | [***]% | [***]% | [***] |

EXHIBIT G - SANMINA MATERIAL ORDERING POLICIES
A. Initial Forecast. Customer shall provide Sanmina with an initial sixty (60) day firm purchase order (“Order”) and forecast for Product requirements (in monthly buckets) for an additional six (6) months (“Forecast”). The Order - and all subsequent Orders - shall be binding and may be rescheduled only in accordance with Section D, below. Sanmina shall make purchase commitments based on their quoted lead times, “Just In Time” and “Late as Possible” best practices (including purchase commitments for Long Lead-time Components) to its Component suppliers (“Vendors”) based upon the Order and Forecast, and Customer shall be responsible for all such Components purchased in support of Customer’s then-current Forecast. For all other purposes, however, the Forecast shall be non-binding.
B. Subsequent Forecasts. On the first business day of each calendar month after the initial Order and Forecast, the first Forecast month shall automatically become part of the Order, a new Forecast month shall be added, and a new firm Order issued, so that a rolling Order of sixty (60) days is always maintained.
C. Material Requirement Planning Process.
1. Sanmina shall take the Order and Forecast and generate a Master Production Schedule (“MPS”) for a twelve-month period in accordance with the process described in this Section. The MPS shall define the master plan on which Sanmina shall base its procurement, internal capacity projections and commitments. Sanmina shall use Customer’s Order to generate the first two (60) days of the MPS and shall use Customer’s Forecast to generate the subsequent six (6) months of the MPS.
2. Sanmina shall process the MPS through industry-standard software that will break down Customer’s Product requirements into Component requirements, When no Product testing (in-circuit or functional testing) is required by Customer, Sanmina will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule delivery of all Components to Sanmina eleven working days before the Products are scheduled to ship to Customer; in the event Product testing is required, Sanmina will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule delivery of all Components to Sanmina sixteen working days before the Products are scheduled to ship to Customer.
3. Sanmina will release purchase orders to Vendors prior to the anticipated date that the Components are needed by Sanmina. The date on which these orders are released will depend on the lead time determined between the Vendor and Sanmina and Sanmina’s manufacturing or materials planning systems.
4. A list of all Components with lead times greater than ninety days (“Long Lead-time Components”) shall be provided. Sanmina shall update the list of Long Lead-time Components every quarter and present an updated list of Long Lead-time Components to Customer at the time Sanmina presents the Customer with the E&O List described in Section E, below. Each revised Long Lead-time Item list shall be deemed an amendment to Exhibit B. It is Sanmina’s responsibility to update Kornit with any extended lead time or changes in the standard lead time of BOM components.
5. Customer acknowledges that Sanmina will order Components in quantities sufficient to support up to six months of Customer’s Forecast, based on quoted lead time and late as possible best known method. In determining the quantity of Components to order, Sanmina divides the Components into three classes, “Class A,” “Class B” and “Class C.” Class A Components are comprised of the approximately [***] ([***]%) of Components constituting approximately [***] ([***]%) of the Product’s total Component cost. Class C Components are comprised of the approximately [***] ([***]%) of Components constituting approximately [***] ([***]%) of the Product Cost. Class B Components are comprised of the remaining [***] ([***]%) of Components constituting approximately [***] ([***]%) of the Products cost. Sanmina will place orders with its Vendors for approximately [***] worth of Class A Components, [***] worth of Class B Components and [***] worth of Class C Components.
32
A summary of Sanmina’s purchase commitments is set forth in the table below.
Part Class | Expected Percentage of Total Parts | Expected Percentage of Total Value (of Gross Requirements) | Periods Worth of Supply to be Bought with Each Order | |||
A | [***] | [***] | [***] | |||
B | [***] | [***] | [***] | |||
C | [***] | [***] | [***] |
6. Customer acknowledges that Sanmina will be required to order Components in accordance with the various minimum buy quantities, tape and reel quantities, and multiples of packaging quantities required by the Vendor. In addition, Customer acknowledges that there is a lag time between any Customer cancellation and the cancellation of the Components required to support production.
D. Reschedules. Customer may reschedule all or part of a scheduled delivery [***] per [***] for a period not to exceed [***] in accordance with the table below. At the end of this [***] period, Customer shall either accept delivery of rescheduled finished units and/or pay the Sanmina’s Delivered Cost (as defined in Section E below) associated with rescheduled units not yet built.
Days Before P.O. Delivery Date | Percentage Reschedule Allowance | |
[***] | [***] | |
[***] | [***] | |
[***] | [***] | |
[***] | [***] |
Sanmina shall use reasonable commercial efforts to accommodate any upside schedule changes beyond the firm Order periods.
E. Excess and Obsolete Inventory.
(i) Definitions:
a. “Delivered Cost” shall mean SANMINA’s quoted cost of Components as stated on the xxxx of materials, plus a materials margin equal to [***] ([***]%).
b. “Excess Components” means the Components that SANMINA has on hand, which have been ordered, manufactured, or acquired based on CUSTOMER’S then-current Forecast or Orders, but for which CUSTOMER has no demand in the [***] period following the end of each calendar quarter.
c. “Obsolete Components” means: the quantity of Components that SANMINA has on hand, which have been ordered, manufactured, or acquired based on CUSTOMER’S then-current Forecast or Order, but which SANMINA no longer requires as a result of (i) CUSTOMER’S announcement or notification that the Product into which such Component is incorporated has reached its end of life, (ii) a change in the specification the Product into which the Component is incorporated as a result of an Engineering Change Notice or otherwise; or (iii) Section E (vii) below.
(ii) Within five (5) business days after receiving CUSTOMER’S first Forecast or Order of the first month following the end of each calendar quarter (but no later than the fifteenth business day following the end of each of SANMINA’s calendar quarters), SANMINA shall advise CUSTOMER in writing of any Excess Components and their Delivered Cost (the “Excess List”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, SANMINA’s failure to timely provide the Excess List to CUSTOMER shall not affect CUSTOMER’S obligations hereunder.
33
(iii) Within [***] of receiving SANMINA’s Excess List, CUSTOMER shall advise SANMINA of any Component on the Excess List that it believes is not excess, and the parties shall work together in good faith to resolve any outstanding issues.
(iv) Within [***] of CUSTOMER’S issuance of its response to the Excess List, CUSTOMER and SANMINA will agree on the disposition of the Excess List on a part number-by-part number basis (hereafter the “Mutually Agreed Excess”) and shall enter into transactions as defined below to settle the Mutually Agreed Excess.
(v) Within [***] of the parties’ agreement on the Mutually Agreed Excess, CUSTOMER will pay SANMINA the amount equal to the Mutually Agreed Excess. SANMINA will credit these funds to the CUSTOMER’S “Offset Inventory Reserve Account” which has been established as a “contra-asset” to CUSTOMER’S obligations under this Section E.
(vi) The parties shall use the processes set forth in Sections (i) through (v) above at the end of each calendar quarter to determine the “new” Mutually Agreed Excess for the end of each subsequent calendar quarter. The parties will then compare the prior quarter’s Offset Inventory Reserve Account with the “new” Mutually Agreed Excess amount. If the new Mutually Agreed Excess is greater than the Offset Inventory Reserve Account, then CUSTOMER shall, within [***], pay the difference to SANMINA, who shall credit the funds to the Offset Reserve Account. If the new Mutually Agreed Excess is less than the Offset Inventory Reserve Account, then SANMINA shall, within ten (10) business days, refund the difference to CUSTOMER.
(vii) Excess Components shall be kept in the Offset Inventory Reserve Account for a maximum period of [***], at which time such Excess Components will be deemed to be Obsolete Components, and handled in accordance with Section (viii) below.
(viii) To the extent that any of the amount in the CUSTOMER’S Offset Inventory Reserve Account relates to any Obsolete Component (e.g., the Obsolete Component was formerly included in the Excess List, and CUSTOMER included that Component in its funding of the Offset Inventory Reserve Account), SANMINA shall debit the Offset Inventory Reserve Account in the amount of the Delivered Cost of such Component. In the event the CUSTOMER’S Offset Inventory Reserve Account does not include funding for any Obsolete Component (e.g., the Component was recently rendered obsolete as a result of a design change), SANMINA shall invoice CUSTOMER for the Delivered Cost of the Obsolete Component, CUSTOMER shall pay SANMINA’s invoice within [***] business days after the date of invoice. SANMINA will ship or dispose of the Obsolete Component in accordance with the CUSTOMER’S instructions.
F. Customer Component Liability.
Customer acknowledges that it shall be financially liable for all Components ordered in accordance with these Policies. Specifically, Customer’s Component liability shall be equal to Sanmina’s Delivered Cost of all Components ordered in support of any Order or Forecast, including any Excess Components resulting from any minimum buy quantities, tape and reel quantities, and multiples of packaging quantities required by the Vendor less the actual cost (per the xxxx of materials) of those Components which are returnable to Vendor (less any cancellation or restocking charges). At Customer’s request, Sanmina shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Customer’s Component liability by attempting to return Components to the Vendor; provided, however, that Sanmina shall not be obligated to attempt to return to Vendor Components which are, in the aggregate, worth less than [***]. Customer guarantees the obligations of each of its subsidiaries or affiliates that places Orders or Forecasts pursuant to this Agreement, and agrees to be jointly liable for all such obligations.
