MANUFACTURING FACILITY INSTALLATION
|
4.1. Site. KODAK and UNIPIXEL have mutually agreed that the Manufacturing Facility will be housed within a portion of the existing Building 326, located within the Xxxxxxx Business Park site in Rochester, NY. Presently his space consists of approximately 100000 sq. ft. and will be dedicated for the purpose of this Agreement, and the site offers future expansion to more than double that foot print if necessary. KODAK Personnel will lead the planning to modify the facility to the necessary cleanroom specifications, prepare the site for tool installations, support the tool vendors during tool installation, and support the tool qualification activities per the Capital Project Plan. From time to time, the Parties will jointly review the Capital Project Plan and each sign-off on any agreed upon changes in scope or cost. The Parties have agreed upon the tentative and estimated capital funding of the Manufacturing Facility as set forth in Exhibit 4. Each Party will retain ownership of their respective assets unless (i) agreed upon in writing by the parties or (ii) termination occurs and assets are managed per Section 14.
4.2. Tool Specification. The tools and equipment to be installed in the facility are defined in the Capital Project Plan and are intended to provide the capability to implement the Base UniPixel Process. The Initial Tool Set specifications and vendors will be based upon the recommendations from UNIPIXEL based upon their assessment of available options to date. Time permitting, KODAK and UNIPIXEL will meet to discuss and make suggestions to the tool specifications prior to receipt from the tool vendors.
4.3. Tool Purchase. The purchase (order and payment) of any and all capital items will be the responsibility of the Party indicated in the Capital Project Plan. Tools will be ordered per the schedule indicated in the Capital Project Plan and any delays in ordering will require notification of the other Party by the ordering Party with 72 hours of the understanding of the delay. KODAK will be responsible to provide support to the vendor for all tools to be installed in the Manufacturing Facility. UNIPIXEL will be responsible to provide support to the respective vendors for any tools installed at sites other than the Manufacturing Facility. Both Parties will offer to the other Party the opportunity to view and interact with a tool vendor during the installation of a tool at any of the manufacturing sites.
5.1. Facility Operation. KODAK will be responsible for providing the operational support for the Manufacturing Facility as per the Operations Plan. The operations staff will include tool operators, engineering staff and management staff that will be required to operate the Manufacturing Facility to commercially acceptable standards of yield, productivity and cost. It is understood that the Manufacturing Facility may be operational over multiple shift per day and during weekends, defined in Section 6.2, as is necessary to meet the demand plans. Engineering staff will be provided to implement the most Current JDA Process, establish and monitor process controls, address manufacturing problems, monitor and improve yields and to improve the process efficiency. Kodak will manage the procurement and incoming quality control of the all raw materials or Unfinished Product received from UniPixel Facilities which are used in the subsequent manufacture of Unfinished Product or Product by the Manufacturing Facility.

Execution Version | CONFIDENTIAL |
5.2. Facility Maintenance. KODAK will be responsible for providing the maintenance support for the Manufacturing Facility as per the Operations Plan. This will include hiring and training the necessary maintenance staff, securing adequate service contracts as is necessary and cost effective, and maintaining an inventory of spare parts and tools necessary to service the equipment on site and enable commercially acceptable standards of tool productivity and uptime.
6.1. Generally. The Parties acknowledge that it is beneficial to both Parties to have material being manufactured in each of the Manufacturing Facility, the UniPixel Facility and the Third Party plating Facility to improve the productivity and yield capabilities of each facility. The Parties acknowledge that yield may change the apportionment of production volume to a degree and that additional capacity may be required as demand increases.
6.2. Capacity Allocation. The Parties agree that after March 1, 2014 the Manufacturing Facility shall receive purchase orders from UniPixel Partners that consume no less than ***% of the available capacity, assuming a ***-shift per day, ***-hour shift, *** day per week operation for the Printing Operations and that consume no less than ***% of the available capacity, assuming a ***-shift per day, ***-hour shift, *** day per week operation for the Plating Operations, for each month as forecasted by the ERP System, for *** (***) years of operation of the Manufacturing Facility, following the first production purchase order from UNIPIXEL or UniPixel Partners, provided such orders have been received by UNIPIXEL or UniPixel Partners from Customers. This capacity allocation shall apply for each of the Printing Process capacity and the Plating Process capacities. Until this time, the Parties will jointly determine the appropriate split of orders between facilities to most effectively improve yield, reduce cost and provide product to Customers to schedule.
6.3. Yield Apportionment. The yield of all Facilities will be entered and tracked in the ERP System. If the Manufacturing Facility is suffering yield losses of greater that 15% of the yield (as measured over a one month period as a percentage of the total facility yield, not as percentage points with respect to a maximum of 100%) when the Printing Process yield of the Manufacturing Facility is compared to the Printing Process yield of the UniPixel Facilities, or when the Plating Process yield of the Manufacturing Facility is compared to the Plating Process yield of the Third Party Plating Facilities, then the allocation of the production for a given month may be shifted by that same percentage of the demand for that month, to the higher yielding facility. Once the yield is improved to within less that 15% of the higher-yielding facility for two consecutive months, then the allocation of production to the facilities will be returned to the level as defined in Section 6.2. Either Party may audit the facility of the other Party, or the Third Party Plating Facility, to assess yield performance upon request and the party receiving the request shall grant the audit within 7 business days of the request.
6.4. Production Planning. During the Term, production planning will be governed by UNIPIXEL who will enter all orders into the ERP System. The Manufacturing Facility shall be linked to this system for the purpose of electronically receiving production orders, initiating manufacturing to fill the order, track the progress of the materials being made for
***This information has been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Execution Version | CONFIDENTIAL |
an order, the inventorying or shipment of the order, and the yield, re-work and net cost to complete the order. Electronic orders shall be submitted according to Section 9 below.
6.5. Capacity Expansion. Capacity expansion at any existing or new facility shall be discussed between the Parties 90 days prior to any commitment to expand is initiated. The Parties agree that either Printing Process or Plating Process capacity expansion will first be offered to be placed into the Manufacturing Facility on the same or similar terms as contained in this Agreement and additional capacity expansion within the Manufacturing Facility will commence upon KODAK approval. Additional capacity at locations other than the Manufacturing Facility shall be installed with the understanding that the production allocation for the Manufacturing Facility shall be maintained at no less than ***% of available capacity assuming a ***-shift per day, ***-hour shift, *** day per week operation for the Printing Operation and at no less than ***% of available capacity assuming a ***-shift per day, ***-hour shift, *** day per week operation for the Printing Operation. If Kodak does not participate in funding a capacity expansion activity, Kodak shall not be required to support any capacity expansion activities or share any technology or trade secrets not otherwise specified under the Development Agreement, and Kodak will not share the operating costs or the EBIT from said capacity expansion.
6.6. Alternate Use. Supplier shall have the right to make use of any unused capacity in the Manufacturing Facility to develop improved or alternate processing, prototype new potential products (the “Alternate Use”). Supplier shall also have the option of utilizing unused capacity, or install additional capacity at its own cost, for producing products or services, other than the Products or Services, for customers other than the Customers. However, the production orders of Products and Services will not delay or interrupt the production of Products and Services without the approval of UNIPIXEL. Alternate Use that results in production orders for new products will be reviewed in advance of any manufacturing at the MJOR and the profits from Alternative use are to be shared by the Parties as described in Sections 7.4 and 7.9. Technologies to be developed within the Manufacturing Facility shall be (i) reviewed between the Parties and any introduction of new materials (including substrates, substrate coatings, inks, or plating solutions) shall be approved by both Parties in advance and (ii) shall require the submission of a new SOW as defined under the Development Agreement and will result in ownership and license rights as defined in the Development Agreement. Any technology developed within the Manufacturing Facility that is not preceded by the submission of a new SOW will be governed as Joint Overlapping Project Rights per the Development Agreement.
7.1. Generally. The Parties agree that the structure of the revenue, cost and profit sharing will be based upon the collection of manufacturing costs involved in operating the Facilities to produce Product, sales and marketing costs associated with the level of production within the Facilities, but excluding any other overhead expenses of either Party as defined in Section 7.2. KODAK will sell all finished or partially-finished products to UNIPIXEL at cost (including shipping and estimated sales taxes) KODAK and UNIPIXEL will share any earnings at a split defined herein.
***This information has been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Execution Version | CONFIDENTIAL |
7.2. Product Cost. The Parties will install the capability into the ERP System to track yields and all costs for all Products. The Products shall carry Part Numbers in the ERP System to identify which of the Facilities are being used to manufacture the Product. The Product cost shall include: (i) fixed costs directly associated with the operation of the Facilities attributed to capacity to manufacture Product, (ii) variable costs directly associated with the manufacture of the Product, (iii) distribution costs of the Product, (iv) direct R&D for the Product, (v) SG&A Costs associated with the Product or operation of the Manufacturing Facility but excluding any Supplier or UniPixel Partner corporate costs not directly attributable to the management of the (a) generation of sales of the Product or (b) manufacture of the Product and (vi) marketing and advertising costs associated with the sale or promotion of the Product (the “Product Cost”). The Product Cost shall specifically exclude indirect research and development (R&D) costs or allocations unless such costs can be attributed to mutually agreed upon projects aimed at improving the performance or manufacturability of the Products and Services or are for the development of future Products and Services that will be supplied by the Manufacturing Facility.
7.3. Service Cost. The Manufacturing Facility may provide Services to Customers or to UniPixel Partners from time to time. Such Services may include the manufacturing of limited pilot or test products, metrology services performed within the Manufacturing Facility or within other Kodak facilities, or in conjunction with local service providers, that are not directly associated with the manufacture of Product. If and when such Services are requested and subsequently provided, the cost of Service (the “Service Cost”) shall include:
(i) fixed costs directly associated with the operation and maintenance of the Facilities provided the Service is completed at the Manufacturing Facility, (ii) variable costs associated with providing a Service, (iii) direct R&D for the Service, (iv) SG&A Costs associated with the Service but excluding any Supplier or UniPixel Partner corporate costs not directly attributable to the management of the Service. Supplier will install the capability into the ERP System to track all costs associated for a given Service.
7.4. Alternative Use Cost. Supplier shall bear the costs associated with any Alternate Use unless such Alternate Use results in a profitable sale in which case the costs associated with such Alternate Use will be tracked in the ERP System and included in the cost accounting per Sections 7.2 and 7.3 above. The revenue received by Kodak for such Alternate Use will be treated as defined in Section 7.9 below.
7.5. Product and Services Pricing. Except for Alternative Use, Products manufactured and supplied by the Supplier under the Agreement shall be provided to UniPixel Partners at the Product Cost. Services shall be provided to UnPixel Partners at the Service Cost. Pricing shall be reviewed by the Parties each month during the MJOR where the target pricing will be negotiated along with any discounts that can be offered and the minimum price that will be accepted for new orders to be received in the following month (the “Floor Price”).
7.6. Taxes/Duties. UNIPIXEL shall be responsible to pay any applicable sales, use or excise taxes or duties imposed under the authority of a federal, state or local taxing jurisdiction.
7.7. Preferred Pricing & Capacity License. It is understood that UNIPIXEL is offering to potential customers a preferred pricing and capacity license arrangement (the “Preferred
9
Execution Version | CONFIDENTIAL |
Licenses”) wherein a Customer will receive discounted product pricing and preferential capacity access for a negotiated series of payments (the “Preferred License Revenue”). The payments for the first four (4) Preferred Licenses will be not counted in the calculation of revenue in Section 7.8, the Preferred License revenue for any additional Preferred Licenses shall be included in the Revenue calculation Upon signing of this Agreement, UNIPIXEL will promptly provide copies of the pricing terms extracted from each of the current and future Preferred Contracts. UNIPIXEL warrants that (i) it will not consent to offering or providing a Product price on any future Preferred License that is, or is expected to be, below the Product Cost plus a EBIT margin of 50% at the time of sale of the Product, provided that the Manufacturing Facility is operating at a minimum of 50% net yield, without prior written approval by KODAK, (ii) if the average current selling price for other current Customers (the “Market Price”) for any Product is below the price provided to any such Preferred License, no further price discounts shall be offered to the Customer who holds the Preferred License, and (iii) no Preferred Licenses shall offer “favored nation” terms where the price for that customer is both (a) dynamically indexed to the Market Price and (b) provides for an additional discount below Market Price.
7.8. Revenue and EBIT. All revenue derived from the sale of Products and Services, including the revenue from profitable Alternative Use, but minus any rebates, other discounts or credit for returns, shall be recorded, tracked and totaled in the ERP System for each month (the “Monthly Revenue”) by UNIPIXEL and provided to KODAK through the ERP System, ERP System Data Warehouse or in a report as defined in Section 1.1. The Product Costs and Service Costs incurred by UniPixel Partners in the course of manufacturing Product and providing Services during the previous month including Taxes/Duties will be tracked and totaled by UNIPIXEL for each month (the “UniPixel Monthly Costs”). The Product Costs and Service Costs incurred by Supplier in the course of manufacturing Product and providing Services during the previous month including Taxes/Duties will be tracked and totaled by KODAK for each month (the “Kodak Monthly Costs”). Earnings before income taxes (“EBIT”) shall be calculated as EBIT = Monthly Revenue – Kodak Monthly Costs- UniPixel Partner Monthly Costs. The EBIT for each month shall be shared and split between UNIPIXEL (the “UniPixel EBIT Share”) and KODAK (the “Kodak EBIT Share”) on a 50% - 50% sharing basis.
7.9. Standard Cost and Variance. The Parties acknowledge that KODAK will use the concept of “standard cost” for accounting purposes. “Standard Product Cost” means an estimate of the manufacturing cost of a unit of Product, based upon a priori knowledge or estimates of the cost elements that are utilized in the manufacturing process and supporting functions as defined in Section 7.2. The Standard Product Cost is used for revenue and earnings planning purposes and may be updated at some frequency, typically annually or monthly. Kodak will calculate the standard cost for each Product or Service (the “Standard Service Cost”) and will review these costs with UNIPIXEL prior to providing any Product or Service. Any difference between the actual costs incurred in the manufacturing of Product and the Standard Product Cost is termed variance (the “Product Variance”). Any difference between the actual costs incurred in providing a Service and the Standard Service Cost is termed variance (the “Service Variance”). Given the limitations in capabilities of accounting systems or ERP Systems, the actual cost of products or services, and hence the Product Variance or the Service Variance, may not be precisely known for several days until after the end of a given month of manufacturing, but after this date (the “Monthly
10
Execution Version | CONFIDENTIAL |
Accounting Closing Date”) the Product Cost for that month, which is also equal to the Standard Product Cost plus the Product Variance, and the Service Cost for that month which is also equal to the Standard Service Cost plus the Service Variance are calculated. The portions of the Standard Product or Service Cost and the Product or Service Variance attributed to KODAK cost per Section 7.2 are the “Kodak Standard Product Cost,” the “Kodak Standard Service Cost,” the “Kodak Monthly Product Variance,” and “Kodak Monthly Service Variance,” respectively.
7.10. Monthly Costs and Invoicing. Upon completion of an order, KODAK will immediately invoice UNIPIXEL in the amount of the Kodak Standard Product Cost relating to the Product or Service produced. After each month ends KODAK and UNIPIXEL will promptly calculate, in accordance with Sections 7.2 and 7.3, their respective actual contribution to the Product Costs and Service Costs associated with all orders completed and shipped to the Customer or delivered to inventory during the prior month. In addition, KODAK will calculate per Section 7.9 the Kodak Monthly Product Variance and the Kodak Monthly Service Variance associated with those same orders. The cost information from both Parties will be loaded into the ERP Data Warehouse, as well as the total sales that were invoiced by UNIPIXEL for the prior month. Each Party will also calculate the EBIT share for each Party attributable to the sale of those Products or Services delivered in the previous month as per Section 7.8. Promptly following the Monthly Accounting Closing Date for each Party, but prior to the 15th day of the month, the Parties will hold the MJOR where part of the agenda will be to review the cost, revenue and EBIT information and reconcile any differences. KODAK will then immediately invoice UNIPIXEL for (a) the Kodak Monthly Product Variance and the Kodak Monthly Service Variance associated with the orders for the previous month and (b) the Kodak EBIT Share associated with the orders for the previous month. In the case of where an Alternate Use occurs, KODAK will calculate the Estimated EBIT Share associated with the Alternate Use that is to be paid to UNIPIXEL.
The Parties acknowledge that circumstances may arise, such as during the initial ramp periods of the Manufacturing Facility, where the EBIT or Estimated EBIT Shares are negative (less than zero.) In such a case, the KODAK shall still prepare invoices in the manner of this Section 7.10 clauses (a) and (b).
7.11. Payments to KODAK. UNIPIXEL shall pay to KODAK (i) within *** days of the invoice date, the Kodak Standard Product Cost and any Kodak Standard Service Cost invoiced by KODAK per (a) of Section 7.9 and (ii) within 15 days of the invoice date, the Kodak Monthly Product Variance, Kodak Monthly Service Variance and the Estimated EBIT Share per (b) of Section 7.10. If the Estimated EBIT Share is negative, UNIPIXEL shall be expected to make a single payment within 30 days of the invoice date, for the net remaining amount calculated as the Kodak Monthly Product Variance plus the Kodak Monthly Service Variance minus the absolute value of the Estimated EBIT Share. Payments to Kodak will be made via ACH in immediately available funds to the following account:
