2.2 | Relationship Management. |
2.2.1 | XXX. JDSU and Supplier agree that day-to-day activities shall be managed in accordance with the latest JDSU revision of the Rules of Engagement document (XXX), which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Following the full execution of this Agreement, both parties shall meet and discuss the then-current XXX, with such XXX being added for reference to this Agreement following such discussion. |

consideration. For purposes of this process, when and only if JDSU shall issue new purchase orders to Supplier to reflect such Prices for the Products specified in the Product Quotation, such purchase order(s) shall constitute “acceptance” by JDSU of the Product Quotation involved.

For the avoidance of ambiguity, JDSU may accept pricing, Product specifications, order and delivery and other Product-specific information, set forth on a Product Quotation but under no circumstances shall JDSU be required to agree to or accept terms or conditions inconsistent with or modifying the terms and conditions of this Agreement, absent specific written authorization from JDSU. |
