5.2. | Special Payment Terms. Notwithstanding section 5.1, Beyond Meat may prepay by January 31, 2019 all, or a portion thereof, of Beyond Meat’s anticipated purchases of Goods in calendar year 2019 (as detailed in Exhibit A), and receive a $[***]/lb. reduction in the Goods price (from $[***]/lb. to $[***]/lb.) for those Goods purchased by January 31, 2019. The [***] percent ([***]%) discount on invoices shall not apply to the foregoing prepayment. |
5.3. | Title to Goods and Risk of Loss. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or a Purchase Order, title to and risk of loss of Goods will pass to Beyond Meat only at the time of receipt of the Goods by Beyond Meat or its designated freight forwarder. Supplier represents and warrants that it is the lawful owner of the Goods sold under this Agreement and will convey title to the Goods to Beyond Meat free of all claims, liens, encumbrances, security interests or rights of any third party. |
6. | QUALITY ASSURANCE; NON-CONFORMING GOODS. |
(a)Supplier acknowledges Beyond Meat’s pursuit of industry leading quality and agrees to fully comply with Beyond Meat’s quality assurance requirements. Defect reduction goals will be agreed upon by the parties and then tracked by Supplier and communicated to Beyond Meat on a monthly basis.
(b)Upon delivery of the Goods to Beyond Meat, Supplier shall be relieved of all liability or responsibility for the accepted Goods, unless within [***] business days Beyond Meat provides written notice to Supplier, pursuant to Section 15.7, that the Goods do not meet Specifications or are otherwise nonconforming due to: (1) violation of Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or other applicable law; or (2) are defective (together “Nonconforming Goods”). Supplier and Beyond Meat agree that Eurofins shall serve as the third party lab which will determine if the Product is considered Nonconforming Goods.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary:
If Beyond Meat does not provide Supplier with notice of Nonconforming Goods within [***] business days of delivery, it shall be presumed that the Goods conformed to the Specifications set forth in Exhibit A and are otherwise not defective. In the event of a dispute arises between Supplier and Beyond Meat in which Beyond Meat did not provide written notice of Nonconforming Goods within [***] business days to Supplier, it shall be presumed that the Goods met specifications at delivery; Beyond Meat may rebut such presumption but shall bear the burden of proof to do so.
3
(d) If the Nonconforming Goods have been incorporated into the production of Beyond Meat’s products, Beyond Meat agrees that Supplier’s liability under this section is limited to the replacement of the specific lot of Goods found by the third party lab to be nonconforming, and the cost of the ingredients incorporated with that portion of Goods that is found by the third party lab to be nonconforming and any associated freight costs.

Within [***] days of Supplier’s receipt of Beyond Meat’ invoice, Supplier will pay Beyond Meat by wire transfer the amount stated on the invoice. Supplier may not delay payment of any quarterly invoice beyond such [***] day period, except that Supplier may withhold payment of that portion of the quarterly invoice relating to any warranty claim that Supplier has rejected and specifically identified in writing to Beyond Meat (“Challenged Claims”). Supplier’s right to notify Beyond Meat of any Challenged Claims, and to request further information with respect to any Challenged Claims, must be exercised within the [***] day period following receipt of Beyond Meat’s invoice. If Supplier fails to timely pay any unchallenged Warranty Costs, Beyond Meat will be entitled to offset any of its liabilities to Supplier by the amount of such unchallenged Warranty Costs. Supplier and Beyond Meat agree to use their best efforts to promptly resolve all Challenged Claims and, when resolved, Supplier will immediately reimburse Beyond Meat for the agreed upon amount. Supplier and Beyond Meat each acknowledge the benefit of reducing Warranty Costs and agree to jointly investigate, analyze and develop strategies that will result in the reduction of Warranty Costs during the term of this Agreement. |

Within [***] days following execution of this Agreement, and upon request by Beyond Meat from time-to-time during the term of this Agreement, Supplier will furnish to Beyond Meat a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage.
