determine necessary measures required for Company to obtain MATERIAL
under this license.
19. DEFAULT
If either party shall be in breach or default of any of the
terms, conditions or covenants of this Agreement or of any purchase
order, and if such breach or default shall continue for a period of ten
(10) days after the giving of written notice to the party in breach
thereof by the party not in breach, then, in addition to all other
rights and remedies which the party not in breach may have at law or
equity or otherwise, the party not in breach shall have the right to
cancel this Agreement and/or any purchase orders without any charge to
or obligation or liability of the party not in breach.
20. ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE
If requested by Company, Supplier shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to implement EDI at Supplier's sole expense.
21. EPIDEMIC CONDITION
If during the term of this Agreement and for six (6) months
after the last shipment date of MATERIAL under this Agreement Company
notifies Supplier that an "Epidemic Condition" has occurred, Supplier
shall prepare and propose a Corrective Action Plan ("CAP") with respect
to such MATERIAL within five (5) working days of such notification,
addressing implementation and procedure milestones for remedying such
Epidemic Condition(s). An extension of this time-frame is permissible
upon mutual written agreement of the parties.
Upon notification of the Epidemic Condition to Supplier,
Company shall have the right to postpone all or part of the shipments
of unshipped MATERIAL, by giving written notice of such postponement to
Supplier, pending correction of the Epidemic Condition. Such
postponement shall temporarily relieve Supplier of its shipment
liability and Company of its shipment acceptance liability. Should
Supplier not agree to the existence of an Epidemic Condition or should
Company not agree to the CAP, then Company shall have the right to
suspend all or part of its unshipped orders without liability to
Company until such time as a mutually acceptable solution is reached.
An Epidemic Condition will be considered to exist when one or
more of the following conditions occur:
(1) Failure reports or statistical samplings show that
MATERIAL shipped contain a potential safety hazard (such as personal
injury or death, fire, explosion, toxic emissions, etc.), or exhibit a
highly objectionable symptom (such as emissions of smoke, loud noises,
deformation of housing) or other disconcerting symptoms of this type.
(2) Reliability plots of relevant data indicate that the
MATERIAL has actual Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of less than 80%
of the MTBF stipulated in the Technical Specifications provided by
Supplier. The MTBF parameter of MATERIAL is
7
Sheet 7 of 31
defined as the total operating or power-on time of any population
under observation ("T"), in hours, divided by the total number of
critical failures ("n") that have occurred during the observed period.
A critical failure is defined as a failure to operate per the
requirements of the Technical Specification. The total operating
time of a population is the summation of operating time of
individual units in that population. MTBF is expressed as MTBF =
T/n. An Epidemic Condition shall exist when data derived from
populations being tracked confirms the condition with 80%
confidence.
(3) MATERIAL Dead on Arrival (DOA) failures exceed the
Epidemic DOA failure rate which is defined as 1.2 x DOA specified in
the section of this Agreement entitled MATERIAL CONFORMANCE REVIEW.
Only major functional and visual/mechanical/appearance defects
are considered for determining Epidemic Condition. MATERIAL could be
either sampled or, a Company's option, 100% audited at Company
warehouses, factories or Company's customers' locations. If MATERIAL is
sampled, the data must have 80% or better statistical confidence.
For the purpose of this Agreement, functional DOA shall be
defined as any MATERIAL that during the test, installation or upon its
first use fails to operate as expected or specified.
Visual/mechanical/appearance DOA is defined as any MATERIAL containing
one or more major defects that would make the MATERIAL unfit for use or
installation.
An Epidemic Condition shall not include failures due to
customer misapplication, utilization of parts not approved by Supplier,
or chain failures induced by internally or externally integrated
subassemblies.
In the event that Supplier develops a remedy for the defect(s)
that caused the Epidemic Condition and Company agrees in writing that
the remedy is acceptable Supplier shall:
(a) Incorporate the remedy in the affected MATERIAL in accordance with
CAP.
(b) Ship all subsequent MATERIAL incorporating the required
modification correcting the defect(s) at no additional charge to
Company; and
(c) Repair and/or replace MATERIAL that caused the Epidemic Condition.
In the event that Company incurs costs due to such repair and/or
replacement, including but not limited to labor and shipping costs,
Supplier shall reimburse Company for such costs. Supplier shall bear
risk of in transit loss and damage for such repaired and/or replaced
MATERIAL.
Supplier and Company shall mutually agree in writing as to the
remedy's implementation schedule. Supplier shall use its best efforts
to implement the remedy in accordance with the agreed-upon schedule.
8
Sheet 8 of 31
If Supplier is unable to develop a mutually agreeable remedy,
or does not adequately take into account the business interests of
Company, as reasonably agreed by the parties, Company may (1) develop
and implement such remedy and, in such case, implementation costs and
risk of in- transit loss and damage shall be allocated between the
parties as set forth in this section, and/or (2) cancel postponed
orders without liability and return all MATERIAL affected by such
Epidemic Condition for full refund, payable by Supplier within thirty
(30) business days after receipt of returned MATERIAL (with risk of
loss or in-transit damage borne by Supplier) and/or (3) terminate this
Agreement without further liability.
22. EXPORT CONTROL
Supplier will not use, distribute, transfer or transmit any
MATERIALs, software or technical information (even if incorporated into
other MATERIALs) provided under this Agreement except in compliance
with U.S. export laws and regulations (the "Export Laws"). Supplier
will not, directly or indirectly, export or re-export the following
items to any country which is in the then current list of prohibited
countries specified in the applicable Export Laws:(a) software or
technical data disclosed or provided to Supplier by Company or
Company's subsidiaries or affiliates; or (b) the direct MATERIAL of
such software or technical data. Supplier agrees to promptly inform
Company in writing of any written authorization issued by the U.S.
Department of Commerce office of export licensing to export or
re-export any such items referenced in (a) or (b). The obligations
stated above in this clause will survive the expiration, cancellation
or termination of this Agreement or any other related agreement.
23. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party shall be held responsible for any delay or
failure in performance of any part of this Agreement to the extent such
delay or failure is caused by fire, flood, strike, civil, governmental,
or military authority, act of God, or other similar causes beyond its
control and without the fault or negligence of the delayed or non
performing party or its subcontractors. Supplier's liability for loss
or damage to Company's MATERIAL in Supplier's possession or control
shall not be modified by this section. When a party's delay or
nonperformance continues for a period of at least fifteen (15) days,
the other party may terminate, at no charge, this Agreement or an order
under the Agreement.

bring legal action against Company.
28. INDEMNITY
28. At Company's request, Supplier agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Company, its affiliates, employees, successors and assigns
(all referred to as "Company") from and against any losses, damages,

assembly operations for the MATERIAL plus all ODCs used by Supplier's
vendors and any other vendors in producing components or other
MATERIALs incorporated into the MATERIAL sold to Company.
Supplier is responsible to obtain information on the ODC
content of all components and other MATERIALs acquired to manufacture
the MATERIAL and to incorporate such information into the total ODC
content reported to Company. Provided however, that Supplier should not
include in the ODC content those components or other MATERIALs which
are manufactured in the United States. Supplier hereby warrants to
Company that all information furnished by Supplier on the ODC Content
Certification is complete and accurate and that Company may rely on
such information for any purpose, including but not limited to
providing reports to government agencies or otherwise complying with
applicable laws. Supplier shall defend, indemnify and hold Company
harmless of and from any claims, demands, suits, judgments,
liabilities, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including additional
ODC taxes as provided for in paragraph one of this section and
reasonable attorney's fees) which Company may incur under any
applicable federal, state, or local laws or international agreements,
and any and all amendments thereto by reason of Company's use of
reliance on the information furnished to Company by Supplier on the ODC
Content Certification or by reason of Supplier's breach of this
section. Supplier shall cooperate with Company in responding to any
inquiry concerning the use of ODCs to manufacture the MATERIAL or
components thereof and to execute without additional charge any
documents reasonably required to certify the absence or quantity of
ODCs used to manufacture the MATERIAL or components thereof.

Supplier's other operations or salable to Supplier's other customers)
in process as of the date of giving notice of termination, less (iii)
any salvage value thereof. However, no such termination charges will be
invoiced if, within sixty (60) days of notice of termination, MATERIAL
equivalent in kind to that being terminated is ordered by Company. If
requested, Supplier shall substantiate such cost and price with proof
satisfactory to Company.

when the MATERIAL has been delivered at the FOB point. If this
Agreement or an order issued pursuant to this Agreement calls for
additional services including, but not limited to, unloading,
installation, or testing to be performed after delivery, Supplier shall
retain title and risk loss and damage to the MATERIAL until the
additional services have been performed. If Supplier is authorized to
invoice Company for MATERIAL prior to shipment or prior to the
performance of additional services, title to MATERIAL (other than
software) shall vest in Company upon payment of the invoice, but risk
of loss and damage shall pass to Company when the additional services
have been performed.
