place of business is located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000
(Netro). This contract shall begin on the date of signing of the Agreement, and
shall terminate thirty-six (36) months from that date unless terminated or
renewed per other terms of the Agreement. Contract renewal discussions will
begin at least six (6) months in advance of the contract termination date. It is
the intent of the parties that this Agreement shall prevail over the terms and
conditions of any purchase order, acknowledgment form or other instrument.
2. PRODUCTS, PRICES & QUANTITIES.
2.1 PRODUCTS TO BE PRODUCED. Supplier agrees to supply to Xxxxx throughout the
term of this Agreement, any mix of the items listed in Appendix "A" at the
prices agreed to in writing by the parties. Other Products may be added to
Appendix "A" once Xxxxx and Supplier have reached written agreement.
2.2 PRODUCT DEFINITION. At the start of this Agreement, Supplier shall produce
the Products defined in Appendix "A" exactly to the drawings, specifications,
and documentation provided by Xxxxx and agreed to in writing by Supplier unless
otherwise approved in writing by Xxxxx. Only the suppliers shown on the Approved
Vendor List ("AVL") provided by Xxxxx shall be utilized for the initial
procurement of materials. Supplier shall have the right to submit revisions to
Xxxxx to the AVL and Xxxx of Material ("BOM") so that cost reductions shall be
achieved. Such revisions may include, but not be limited to design changes,
manufacturing technology improvements, development of new vendors, etc. All such
changes submitted by Supplier shall be approved in writing by Xxxxx, prior to
implementation of the changes and Xxxxx shall have the unlimited right to use
such changes, in any way it deems appropriate and at its sole discretion.
2.3 COST REDUCTION. Supplier shall implement an ongoing cost reduction program
(including material and productivity improvements) that will target an
annualized cost reduction of a minimum of [***] per cent ([***]) per Quarter for
Appendix "A" Products. Each cost reduction year will start at the signing of the
Agreement and continue until the anniversary date of the Agreement, then a new
cost reduction year will start. Xxxxx will support this cost reduction effort
and will work closely with Supplier to achieve the targeted results. Changes to
meet the cost reduction goals will be mutually agreed to in terms of
implementation timing, effect on inventories, value of the cost reduction,
overall total cost savings, etc. Supplier shall retain the savings of Supplier
generated cost reductions within the quarter that they occur and will be
reflected in the quoted Product costs at the quarterly progress review meeting,
then such savings shall revert fully to Xxxxx. Cost reductions developed solely
by Xxxxx shall be fully retained by Xxxxx. Each cost reduction activity
associated with material or design changes will be authorized by a Xxxxx
generated and approved Engineering Change Order (ECO). The ECO will document the
initiator of the cost reduction, i.e., Xxxxx or Supplier, and the change in the
Product cost to Xxxxx resulting from the cost reduction. Cost reductions may
include but not be limited to reductions in Supplier margins, labor rates,
overheads, G & A's, etc. as driven by efficiency improvements, volumes or total
revenues. At each quarterly progress review meeting, a summary of cost reduction
activities and results will be presented by Supplier.

inventory, overtime labor, etc. to expedite and complete the timely delivery of
Products at Supplier's expense.
8. SHIPMENT & DELIVERY.
8.1 ON-TIME DELIVERY. Supplier agrees to deliver Products on-time per its
committed delivery dates as stated on Xxxxx'x Purchase Order and agreed to by
Suppliers acknowledgment of said Purchase Order. On-time delivery is defined to
be plus or minus two (2) calendar days from the committed delivery dates.
On-time delivery point is Supplier's dock. The FOB point will be Supplier's
facility. Shipping is to be by normal transportation methods, unless otherwise
requested by Xxxxx. Xxxxx, in the future, may require Supplier to ship directly
to end users of the Products. These shipments will be FOB Supplier's facility.
8.2 EARLY/LATE DELIVERY. Early Delivery is defined as three (3) or more days in
advance of scheduled delivery date. Xxxxx at its option can refuse to accept
early delivery and if Xxxxx chooses to accept early delivery, such acceptance
must be in writing. Late delivery is defined as being three (3) or more working
days later than the scheduled and acknowledged delivery date at the applicable
dock as stated in the appropriate purchase order. If Supplier fails to make
deliveries at the specified time and such failure is caused by Supplier,
Supplier will, at no additional cost to Xxxxx, employ accelerated measures such
as material expediting fees, premium transportation costs, or labor overtime
required to meet the specified delivery schedule or minimize the lateness of
deliveries. If despite such measures and in the event late delivery is solely
attributed to Supplier, Supplier shall, after a grace period of ten (10)
business days, incur a liquidated damage fee for late delivery of one percent
(1%) of the Product selling price for each full week units are late after the
grace period. These liquidated damages shall be capped at seven percent (7%) of
the price of the late units. Netro may terminate the Purchase Order (or this

APPENDIX B QUALITY
(A) Supplier commits to ensure that all manufacturing, and design operations,
including any key sub-contractor, or contract manufacturing suppliers, which
contribute to the design, development, production, delivery and service of
material are ISO 9000 registered by an accredited Registrar by one year
after first purchase order is placed by Xxxxx.
(B) Supplier commits to having a continuous improvement program in place which
will allow it to attain and maintain "acceptable" ratings (or equivalent) on
all quality system elements as periodically performed by Xxxxx. An
"acceptable" element is defined as one where the quality system meets the
"general intent" of the quality system and is fully deployed to maintain the
quality system and product quality. No significant deficiencies encountered
that would jeopardize the quality system, and product quality and/or
reliability.
(C) Supplier commits to establish key quality control (qc) verification points
throughout the manufacturing process. These verification points should be
located in-process as well as after MATERIAL has completed all manufacturing
operations. The scope of these qc verification points shall be validated
through visual or mechanical inspections and/or tests, and with the use of
statistically valid sampling plans, that MATERIAL conforms to Supplier's
manufacturing, product and process specifications, standards of acceptable
workmanship, as well as other specifications which may be provided by Xxxxx.
Xxxxx reserves the right to review these qc points and make suggestions for
improvement. Supplier commits to address these suggestions through the
implementation of appropriate corrective actions.
(D) Supplier commits to establish an end of the line Quality Assurance product
audit on material by three (3) months after first purchase order. The focus
of this audit shall be to replicate user application of MATERIAL as
specified by Xxxxx'x customer. Test and examination of MATERIAL under the
quality audit shall be at a system level, and shall include but is not
limited to:
a) Exercising said MATERIAL over the full spectrum of temperature
ranges over which MATERIAL is designed to operate.
b) Full operation of MATERIAL over a period of time not less than 72
hours.
c) A system for continuous monitoring of all primary product functions
and fault detection of the MATERIAL while under this test.
Supplier shall continuously review customer return data to ensure that the
scope of the product quality assurance audit function includes the
requirement(s)/condition(s) under which the return failed.
1
17
Supplier shall perform a detailed failure mode analysis of all MATERIAL
found defective through the quality assurance audit in line with the
requirements and process outlined in paragraph F.
Supplier agrees to provide to Xxxxx on a monthly basis, results of the

(E) Supplier commits to establishing a program of tracking monthly, quarterly,
and annual return rates for the product manufactured under this contract.
The Supplier agrees to update and report on returns on a quarterly basis
to Xxxxx.
(F) Supplier commits to establishing a system for tracking and analysis all
MATERIAL returned by Xxxxx to it, as well as any MATERIAL failures which
occur through Xxxxx'x end of the line quality assurance audit. For all
MATERIAL in the above two categories, supplier shall perform a failure
mode analysis, which at a minimum will be down to the component level.
Component level failure modes will be recorded, and failed components
found defective will be accumulated for the purpose of determining
repetitive occurrences.
Material shall be considered defective if it fails to meet the warranty
specifications under this Agreement (including performance and appearance
Specifications) or if during customer testing, installation, or use, the
MATERIAL fails to operate as expected or specified.
If the analysis of a return is found to be within the specifications of
this agreement (i.e., a no trouble found condition), then Supplier shall
track these no trouble found conditions and notify Xxxxx of said findings
at a minimum of a monthly interval, so that appropriate investigative
measures may be taken to determine the root cause.
(G) If the return rate is found to exceed a mutually agreed to acceptable rate
or repetitive occurrences are observed with regard to component level
failures then the supplier shall provide a written Corrective Action
Report to Xxxxx, explaining in detail the nature of the problem detected,
and the step(s) Supplier proposes to correct the problem. As part of the
plan to correct the problem, it is agreed that the Supplier shall:
a) Incorporate the remedy in affected MATERIAL.
b) Ship all subsequent MATERIAL incorporating the required
modification correcting the problem at no additional charge to
Xxxxx; and
c) Create a mutually agreed to plan to address the scope of
correction and the proper course of actions to be taken by
Supplier and Xxxxx.

18
Supplier and Xxxxx shall mutually agree in writing as to the
implementation schedule of the corrective action plan. Supplier agrees to
use its best efforts to implement the plan in accordance with the agreed
upon schedule. It is also agreed that the Xxxxx shall be entitled to
postpone at no charge to Xxxxx, further deliveries of orders until such
time as the remedy is implemented consistent with this Article.
(H) As part of a program of continuous improvement, Supplier agrees to
establish annually, improvement goals for a series of key quality
objectives. These goals should include, but are not limited to a)
customer return rates, b) Quality Assurance product quality audit defect
rates, c) final system test yields. Supplier agrees to track these goals
on a monthly basis, and to commit the resources necessary for the
attainment of these goals.
