On or before the 10^th day of the 3^rd month of every quarter “OEM Partner” will forecast pre-build inventory to support quarter end orders which will detail the Appliances to be manufactured by Patriot Technologies and purchased by “OEM Partner’s” customers. Patriot Technologies understands that the Forecast is an estimate of quantities required. “OEM Partner” will have no minimum volume commitment hereunder apart from the commitment established by its Orders in accordance with this Section 3.7. “OEM Partner” may order Appliances by submitting to Patriot Technologies a purchase order (the “Order”) containing, at a minimum, the following: date, purchase order number, ship to address, Appliance/product, part number, quantity, cost, requested shipping method, and requested ship date. “OEM Partner” may place such Orders by mail, facsimile, or email, as “OEM Partner” chooses. “OEM Partner” may submit Orders along with “OEM Partner’s” standard purchase order or other contractual terms; provided, however, that any preprinted terms on “OEM Partner’s” standard purchase order or such other contractual terms will not apply to any transaction between the parties unless such terms are contained in a written document signed by authorized representatives of both parties. All Orders are subject to Patriot Technologies’ written acceptance, which will be in Patriot Technologies’ sole discretion, and will be deemed rejected unless “OEM Partner” receives written notice of Patriot Technologies’ acceptance thereof; provided, however, that Patriot Technologies agrees to accept any “OEM Partner” Order that complies with Patriot Technologies’ published lead times and terms of this agreement.

(b) Order Changes. For any purchase order, issued in accordance to this Agreement, “OEM Partner” or its Affiliates may (i) increase the quantity of Finished Goods or (ii) reschedule the quantity of Finished Goods and their shipment date or (iii) decrease quantities on a scheduled shipment or (iv) redirect shipments. It is Patriot Technologies desire to provide as much flexibility as possible. All quantity increases of previously accepted purchase orders are subject to acceptance by Patriot Technologies. OEM Partner will be notified within 24 hours, if an increase is not possible based on current production schedules or inventory availability. Any purchase order quantities increased or rescheduled pursuant to this Section may not be subsequently increased or rescheduled without the prior written approval of Patriot Technologies. All other changes in quantity or shipment date require Patriot Technologies’ prior written consent. Any re-schedules that exceed ninety (90) days after the purchase order date will be subject to a one percent (1%) per month inventory

“OEM Partner” Agreement v2.2

carrying charge. Patriot Technologies will use reasonable commercial efforts to meet quantity increases. If there are extra costs to meet a schedule increase in excess of the above limits, Patriot Technologies will inform “OEM Partner” for its approval in advance. Changes to Appliances may incur additional costs for re-imaging, re-configuration, adding or subtracting components or changes to packaging and documentation. ***

3.8 Delivery and Acceptance. The delivery and acceptance processes for the Finished Goods will be as follow, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Product Addendum.

(a) Delivery. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.11, Patriot Technologies will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship the Finished Goods on or before the shipping date specified in the applicable Order or Order Change Notice; provided, however, that Patriot Technologies will promptly notify OEM Partner in writing of Patriot Technologies’ anticipated inability to meet, in whole or in part, any agreed-upon ship date. All Appliances will be shipped ex works (IncoTerms 2000) Patriot Technologies’ Frederick manufacturing plant. Patriot Technologies will pack and label all Appliance shipments in such a way as to be acceptable to carriers and in accordance with good commercial practices. Title and risk of loss or damage to the Appliances will pass to OEM Partner upon Patriot Technologies’ delivery to a common carrier. OEM Partner will bear any and all shipping and handling costs.

(b) Acceptance. After receipt of a Finished Goods shipment, OEM Partner or its customer shall have forty-five (45) days (the “Acceptance Period”) in which to inspect and accept or reject the shipment for conformity to the applicable Specifications. If OEM Partner determines that any Finished Goods fails to conform to the applicable Specifications, OEM Partner will be entitled to reject the Finished Goods during the Acceptance Period by giving Patriot Technologies written notice containing sufficient details of such nonconformity; provided, however, that any unit not rejected by written notification to Patriot Technologies within the Acceptance Period will be deemed accepted. As Patriot Technologies’ sole and exclusive obligation for any rejected Finished Goods, Patriot Technologies will provide a return material authorization number and ship a newly manufactured replacement Finished Goods to OEM Partner or customer. In the event of a miscount in a delivery, OEM Partner will notify Patriot Technologies of such miscount within five (5) days after OEM Partner’s receipt of such delivery and such miscount will not be a basis for rejection; provided, however, that in the case of an over-shipment, OEM Partner will be entitled to return, at Patriot Technologies’ expense and risk of loss, any units in excess of the quantities ordered by OEM Partner’s; and in the case of an under-shipment, Patriot Technologies will promptly ship the remaining balance of ordered Finished Goods units.

(c) Patriot Technologies-Requested ECNs. If Patriot Technologies is the requesting party, Patriot Technologies will prepare and submit to OEM Partner an ECN and ECN Charge Detail, detailing the nature of the change, the necessity for the change, and any projected cost or manufacturing schedule impact. Such changes will be subject to OEM Partner’s prior written consent. For all changes requiring OEM Partner’s consent, OEM Partner may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion. If OEM Partner elects to proceed with such change, OEM Partner will provide a Change Order to Patriot Technologies. If Patriot Technologies does not receive a Change Order within thirty (30) days following OEM Partner’s receipt of the ECN and ECN Charge Detail from Patriot Technologies, the ECN will be deemed cancelled with no applicable ECN Charges.
