In case of conflict, the following order of precedence shall prevail: a) this Agreement; b) the Attachments to this Agreement; c) individual POs; and d) drawings, specifications and related documents specifically incorporated herein by reference.

(b)(i) Subject to Seller being able to meet the established quality, technical and qualification requirements for Components, and the possible reductions in this Section 1 and Section 9 below, Buyer agrees to purchase the minimum number of Components specified in Appendix 1 (the “Buyer’s Purchase Obligation”) during the time periods specified in Appendix I (each a “Purchase Time Period”). In the event that Buyer fails to purchase its Buyer’s Purchase Obligation in a particular Purchase Time Period, Buyer’s sole and exclusive liability with respect to its Buyer’s Purchase Obligation for such Purchase Time Period shall be calculated as provided in this Subsection (b) (iv).

(ii) Commencing in calendar year 2016 for Purchase Time Period 2017 and in each calendar year thereafter through 2019 for Purchase Time Period 2020.

Subject to the terms of this Subsection 1 (b) (iii) and only for Purchase Time Period 2020, […***…] (the “March Orders”). The maximum quantity of the March Orders will be equal to […***…]. Nothing in this Subsection 1 (b) (iii) shall prevent Buyer’s October Orders from equaling Seller’s Guaranteed Capacity.

(iv) In the event that the aggregate number of Components to be purchased in the October Orders and December Orders is less than the Buyer’s Purchase Obligation for the applicable Purchase Time Period, Buyer shall issue a PO (the “Adjustment PO”) to Seller no later than April 30th of such Purchase Time Period. The dollar amount of the Adjustment PO shall be calculated by multiplying […***…]. Payment by Buyer to Seller under the Adjustment PO shall satisfy all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to its commitment to purchase Buyer’s Purchase Obligation during the applicable Purchase Time Period for which the Adjustment PO was issued. Buyer agrees that to the extent practicable and using its commercially reasonable efforts, it shall place Orders with Seller that create a level loaded production schedule capable of being achieved by Seller over the course of the Purchase Time Period.
