2 Forecasts
2.1 Periodically (but no less frequently than monthly), ZELTIQ shall deliver to UNICEP (via e-mail or other mutually agreed upon manner) a Forecast. This Forecast will indicate volumes and the requested delivery date of the manufactured Products for the next 12 months period and is intended to assist UNICEP in planning and Component management purposes.
2.2 UNICEP shall maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity to permit it to deliver the Products to the ZELTIQ in accordance with the applicable Purchase Orders.
3 Purchase Orders
3.1 ZELTIQ will provide to UNICEP binding Purchase Orders taking into account a lead-time of 16 weeks.
3.2 UNICEP shall not unreasonably refuse acceptance of any Purchase Order.
3.3 ZELTIQ may issue Purchase Orders for Product in excess of the Forecast, which will be accepted by UNICEP, provided that UNICEP can obtain the necessary Components. In the event UNICEP’s Component unavailability prevents UNICEP from committing to the requested delivery date, UNICEP will provide notice to ZELTIQ within ten (10) business days and at that time the parties will mutually agree on a revised delivery date. If UNICEP does not provide such notice within ten (10) business days then the applicable Purchase Order will be deemed accepted.
3.4 ZELTIQ may increase, reschedule, or cancel the quantity of any Products specified in a Purchase Order by delivering to UNICEP, by email, mail or facsimile, a written Change Order. No Change Order shall be effective until it is actually received and accepted by UNICEP’s authorized representative. Receipt notice and acceptance (or rejection, regarding an increase, due to UNICEP’s inability to obtain the necessary Components) shall be provided to ZELTIQ within ten (10) business days. If UNICEP does not provide such notice within ten (10) business days then the applicable Purchase Order will be deemed accepted.
3.5 ZELTIQ agrees it is liable to take title to and pay for all quantities of Products reflected on ZELTIQ Purchase Orders; unless a Change Order has been forwarded by ZELTIQ and accepted by UNICEP. At time of acceptance the Change Order shall govern.
3.6 In the event that UNICEP purchases and receives material for Purchase Orders accepted by UNICEP hereunder, and ZELTIQ requests and UNICEP agrees to cancellation or rescheduling of such Purchase Order then UNICEP shall notify ZELTIQ of (i) the cost of the relevant materials including raw materials, work in process, finished goods, excess and obsolete materials that UNICEP has obtained specifically to fulfill ZELTIQ Purchase Orders and cannot use because of such cancellation or rescheduling (collectively referred to as “Inventories”) and (ii) the cost of the Inventories.

3.7 After receiving the cost of the Inventories from UNICEP pursuant to Section 3.6 with respect to a cancelled or rescheduled Purchase Order, if ZELTIQ elects to continue with the applicable cancellation or rescheduling then ZELTIQ agrees it is responsible for all costs and expenses and the stated cost of the Inventories associated with the changes, cancellation or rescheduling of such Purchase Order.
3.8 In the event of a cancellation of a Purchase Order as described in Section 3.6 all Inventories including but not limited to completed Products, assemblies in process, components and any tooling, test and burn-in equipment owned by ZELTIQ and furnished to UNICEP, shall be disposed of or handled at ZELTIQ’s expense in accordance with written instructions furnished by the ZELTIQ.
3.9 Purchase Obligation. All quantities are as set forth in the Purchase Order or by separate written agreement. ZELTIQ agrees to purchase all Inventories including excess inventory that UNICEP has obtained or manufactured specifically to fulfill ZELTIQ orders (including, without limitation, all non-returnable minimum purchase quantities, tape and reel, tube and tray items, and all customized non-returnable items or items that are purchased at volumes to maintain pricing that exceed the current Purchase Order demand) (the “Excess Inventory”) upon receipt of an invoice from UNICEP.
