Page 9 of 34
5.4 | In the event that Customer is not able or refuses to receive a shipment delivered pursuant to a valid Purchase Order, Customer shall be responsible for all reasonable and documented costs including transportation, labor and storage and Customer shall reimburse Supplier for those such expenses Supplier was forced to make as a result of such situation. |
6. | Manufacturing Services. Supplier agrees to perform the work (hereinafter “Work”) pursuant to the Purchase Orders issued by Customer and accepted by Supplier. Work shall mean to procure Components and other supplies and to manufacture, test, assemble and deliver Products pursuant to the Specifications for each such Product. Customer shall timely provide such additional documentation as Supplier may reasonably require from time to time. Supplier agrees not to make any changes to the Customer approved production process, vendor selection or tooling (as referenced in Section 8) used in the manufacture of Products without first obtaining written approval from Customer. |
6.1 | The Parties shall establish a reasonable baseline failure rate and shall strive to reduce that failure rate through the implementation of mutually agreed upon quality control measures and the issuance of Action Plans. Any Action Plan created pursuant to this Agreement and agreed to by Supplier shall be incorporated into and given the same legal effect as this Agreement whether incorporated by reference or otherwise. |
6.1.1 | Significant Failures. During steady state commercial production, if [***] or more of the Products delivered during any rolling [***] month period (a) do not meet the Specifications and (b) the failure to meet the Specifications is (i) attributable to Supplier (including a failure to comply with its Component management obligations hereunder) and (ii) not attributable to a design flaw or a Component managed by Customer in accordance with the terms of Section 6.11, and (c) said [***] or more of the Products present the same type of failure, then the failure shall be deemed a “Significant Failure.” |
6.1.2 | Epidemic Failures. During steady state commercial production, failures (a) having the same cause as confirmed by both parties or a mutually acceptable and independent third party, (b) occurring within the warranty period or an extended period of [***] months following the termination of the warranty period, (c) resulting from defects in workmanship or Supplier’s failure to monitor and test Components in accordance with this Agreement, but not design defects, and (d) in which [***] or more of the Products delivered during any rolling [***] month period do not meet the Specifications, where such failure rates are calculated by dividing the number of unit failures by the number of units shipped shall constitute an “Epidemic Failure.” |
Page 10 of 34
6.1.3 | Significant Failure and Epidemic Failure Analysis. The foregoing criteria constituting Significant Failures and Epidemic Failures are referred to as “Threshold Failure Rates.” The Parties will discuss the then-current actual Product performance versus the Threshold Failure Rates in each [***] business review. The Party that detects a possible Significant Failure or Epidemic Failure shall promptly notify the other party in writing and shall provide, if known and as may then exist, a description of the Significant Failure or Epidemic Failure, as well as the suspected lot numbers, serial numbers or other identifiers, and delivery dates, of the Products affected by the Significant Failure or Epidemic Failure. Customer shall use reasonable efforts to make available to Supplier samples of the Products affected by Significant Failures or Epidemic Failures (as the case may be) for testing and analysis and other information and assistance as reasonably requested by Supplier to conduct a root cause analysis and develop an Action Plan. Supplier shall promptly provide its findings regarding the root cause of each Significant Failure and Epidemic Failure. If the Parties disagree on the root cause of any Significant Failure or Epidemic Failure, either Party may engage a neutral third party to conduct the root cause investigation. For any confirmed Significant Failure or Epidemic Failure, Customer shall provide Supplier with its proposed Action Plan. The Parties will promptly discuss the Action Plan, and once the Parties have agreed in writing, Supplier will implement the Action Plan as soon as reasonably possible. The Parties shall share equally in the costs of investigating a Significant Failure or Epidemic Failure, and the costs of developing and implementing the Action Plan, unless the failure analysis conclusively demonstrates that the failure was predominantly caused by (i) a design flaw or failure of Customer-supplied testing equipment and processes to detect the issue or (ii) a procurement or manufacturing process flaw, or failure of Supplier-supplied testing equipment and processes to detect the issue, in which cases, those such costs shall be borne by Customer and Supplier, respectively. |
6.1.4 | Single [***] Defects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in any single [***] of production, [***] or more products are Defective (and such Defect is attributable to the same cause), the Parties shall meet immediately to investigate and remediate the situation, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.1.3. |
6.1.5 | Remedy for Epidemic Failure. Without limiting any of Customer’s other remedies in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Epidemic Failure, Supplier shall replace all affected Products through a recall process approved by Customer. Supplier will also reimburse Customer for all reasonable and documented costs, including additional labor, transportation and equipment costs incurred as a result of the Epidemic Failure. For the purposes of this Section, the foregoing costs shall be considered direct damages. |
Page 11 of 34

6.4 | Customer and Supplier shall always strive to improve the production process. To that end, Supplier shall form with Customer a continuous improvement team to work collaboratively to identify opportunities for cost reductions throughout the Term of this Agreement, including implementing process enhancements and selecting alternative sources for materials. Customer and Supplier shall formally identify and agree upon cost reduction opportunities in each quarterly business review (each referred to as a “Cost Reduction Project”). Each Cost Reduction Project should include a description of the difference between the current process or procedure and the proposed change, as well as detailed cost estimates, which reflect the implementation of such cost reduction initiatives and their projected impact, as well as the anticipated timeframe for implementation. Unless otherwise specified for a particular Cost Reduction Project, and in the spirit of cooperation, Supplier and Customer shall each benefit from the Cost Reduction Projection by sharing the benefit on a [***] In the event that the savings are fully originated by the Customer, primarily because of some sourcing of materials initiative or design improvement, the benefit should be given to the Customer in full from the actual implementation time. In the event that one party agrees to and actually invests in equipment or modifications to the manufacturing area in order to realize the savings, that party shall get 100% of the savings until fully reimbursed for its investment, at which point Supplier and Customer will start sharing the benefit on a 50/50 basis as described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier agrees that the cost-savings initiatives listed in Exhibit 1 of this. Agreement have been undertaken by Customer prior the Effective Date and that, as a result, Supplier shall not share in the proceeds of such initiatives. |

9.3 | Final approval of Samples shall not affect the Parties’ liability and obligations in accordance with this Agreement. |
9.4 | Supplier shall provide Customer with data generated from the performance of all Production Test Procedures, and any other testing as may be required by Customer, for all Samples, which shall include any and all industry standard reliability tests required to verify the production process or NPI, and Products, which shall include Customer’s test equipment prior to shipment to Customer. Any other test procedures requested by Customer, after the submission of an RFQ, should be agreed by both Parties and identify if such request has an implication in terms of resources or pricing. |
10. | Deliveries and Shipping Terms. |

Page 16 of 34
10.3 | Late Deliveries. In the event that Supplier fails to deliver some quantity of Products in accordance with the Purchase Order, Customer shall grant Supplier a [***] business day grace period to correctly fulfill the delivery. Without limiting Customer’s other remedies, if, after this grace period Supplier has still failed to deliver the Product in accordance with this Agreement, and the cause of any such delay is attributable to Supplier, then (a) the Parties shall immediately escalate the issue to their respective upper management teams, who will create and implement an Action Plan to address the issue and prevent further delay and (b) Supplier shall bear all reasonable costs, including any applicable expedited shipping costs to deliver the applicable Products as soon as possible following the originally scheduled delivery date.

For purposes of clarity, it is agreed to by the Parties that the price of the first delayed Delivery Lot in any given [***] shall not be reduced. Supplier and Customer acknowledge and agree that (i) [***]; (ii) [***]; and (iii) as of the Effective Date, [***]. Supplier shall have no liability if the delivery or manufacturing of the Products is delayed for reasons solely attributable to Customer, including, without limitation, the failure to timely deliver required Components Customer has agreed to source. |

11. | Payment. |
Terms of payment are net [***] days from the invoice delivery date. All invoices shall be correctly addressed, without being marked for the attention of any individual, and include all other information that is necessary to Customer.
12. | Force Majeure. |
Notwithstanding Sections 9 and 10, any Party will not be liable to the other Party for order cancellations or changes or for any failure or delay in its performance or for any damages suffered by reason of such failure or delay, when such failure or delay is caused by any fire, flood, riot, severe weather, war, governmental interference or embargo, fuel, power, shortage of specialized material under worldwide constraints, or any other cause beyond its reasonable control. In the event of such force majeure, the affected Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party, and its performance shall be excused for up to [***] days. If the delays caused by the force majeure conditions are not cured within [***] days of the force majeure event, then either Party may immediately terminate this Agreement.
13. | Warranty. |
13.1 | Supplier hereby warrants that Supplier’s performance under this Agreement shall not conflict with, or be prohibited in any way by, any other agreement or statutory or other legal restriction to which Supplier is bound. Supplier further warrants that Products furnished by Supplier shall be new and not used or refurbished without Customer’s prior written consent to receive used or refurbished Products, shall be in full conformity with the Specifications, and shall be free from defects in workmanship. All other Components and materials utilized in any assembled or customized products are covered by, and subject to, the terms, conditions and limitations of the manufacturer’s standard warranty, which warranty is expressly in lieu of any other warranty, express or implied, of or by Supplier. The Parties, together, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure favorable warranty terms from key supply chain third party Component vendors on the AVL. Supplier shall diligently inform Customer, as Supplier may become aware, of any third party warranties which are reasonably considered out of ordinary terms or conditions. Supplier agrees that this warranty shall survive acceptance of the Products. Supplier shall assume no responsibility or liability whatsoever for defects directly resulting from (i) Customer’s design or instruction; (ii) the performance or adequacy of any |
Page 18 of 34
design or specification provided to Supplier by or on behalf of Customer; (iii) defective parts provided by Customer; or (iv) any portion of the Product which has been modified or altered by Customer or any third party acting on behalf of Customer without approval of Supplier.

13.2 | Upon any failure of a Product based on a claim of breach of manufacturing warranty, Customer shall complete a failure report and request an RMA number from Supplier and, upon confirming an authorized return, Supplier will analyze any such RMA Product and, if a breach of manufacturing warranty is found (a “Defect”), then Supplier, upon receipt of the RMA Product and all required documentation, shall, without limiting Customer’s other remedies under this Agreement, promptly replace the RMA Product and return it to Customer freight from point of original delivery to be paid by Supplier. If no such Defect is found, Customer shall reimburse Supplier for all fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by Supplier in connection with such analysis. |
13.3 | The warranty period shall terminate (a) [***] months after the date in which the Product was delivered to Customer or (b) immediately after the Product has been subject of mishandling, accident, misuse, neglect, improper testing, improper or unauthorized repair, alteration, damage, assembly, processing or any other inappropriate or unauthorized action or inaction that alters physical or electrical properties. This warranty shall not apply to any defect in design or to any defect that results from errors or omissions in the Technical Specifications. |
13.4 | The Parties may conclude a separate agreement for the handling of warranty claims and for a more extensive warranty liability. |
13.5 | Products are subject to Customer’s inspection, testing and approval. Customer, no later than [***] days from the time of delivery, shall inform Supplier, in writing, of any Product which does not meet the requirements of the Purchase Order, the Technical Specification or any applicable warranty. Once the Products are inspected and tested by both Parties, and they are in fact rejected or found defective by Customer, then they shall be returned to Supplier at Supplier’s expense, and Supplier agrees to, at Customer’s election and within [***] days, (a) replace the Defective Product at Supplier’s cost and expense or (b) issue a refund to Customer for the amount paid by Customer (including documented shipping and handling expenses) for such Product. Payment by Customer for any Product shall not be deemed an acceptance thereof.

Page 19 of 34
13.6 | All Defective Products that are returned to Supplier for replacement shall be scrapped by Supplier at Supplier’s expense, provided that the Defect was attributable to Supplier. Otherwise, the scrapping shall be at Customer’s expense. |

14. | Intellectual Property. |
14.1 | Customer shall be liable for the license fee of the third party Intellectual Property which is approved by Customer in advance and used, adopted or incorporated only in the Product or is applicable solely to the manufacture of the Products and not to any other manufacturing process or other product manufactured by Supplier. Customer agrees to defend, at Customer’s own expense, all suits, actions or proceedings brought against Supplier, and any of Supplier’s directors, officers, employees, or agents (each a “Person”) for actual or alleged infringement of any copyright, industrial design right, trade secret, United States or foreign patents or other proprietary rights necessarily infringed by Supplier in the manufacturing of the Products (but not Supplier’s manufacturing processes generally). The indemnification procedures in Section 16.3 of this Agreement apply to any such claims. |
14.2 | “Work Product” shall exclude anything relating to Supplier’s general process of manufacture but however include, to the extent outside the scope of Supplier’s general process of manufacture, all designs, discoveries, creations, works, devices, masks, work in progress, inventions, products, Products, Models, computer programs, procedures, improvements, developments, drawings (including those relating to tooling and models developed on behalf of Customer), notes, documents, business processes, Product-specific manufacturing processes, Information and materials made, conceived or developed by Supplier alone or with others which result from or relate to Supplier’s performance under this Agreement based on the materials provided by Customer. Work Product shall at all times be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Customer. The Parties agree that any Intellectual Property development projects shall be subject to additional terms in separate statements of work. Supplier hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to Customer all of its worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Work Product including all associated Intellectual Property rights. Supplier shall not utilize or make use of, in any fashion, any corporate name, trade style or trademarks belonging to Customer or its affiliates, without Customer’s written consent. Supplier shall not engage in the design, development or manufacture, in whole or in part, of any Products for its own account or for that of a third party. All technical information disclosed heretofore and hereafter by Supplier to Customer in connection with this Agreement is disclosed on a confidential basis. Supplier hereby grants Customer a perpetual, irrevocable and worldwide license to use any Intellectual Property of Supplier that is incorporated into the Product solely to the extent necessary for Customer to continue producing and selling said Product. |
Page 20 of 34
14.3 | Customer hereby grants Supplier a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license (without right of sublicense or assignment) to use Customer’s Intellectual Property solely as necessary to perform the Work (including the manufacture of Products) and create Work Product during the Term of this Agreement. |
15. | Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that the nature of this Agreement requires the exchange of certain confidential information between the Parties. As used herein, “Information” means any proprietary information about a Party that is marked proprietary or under the circumstances should reasonably be understood to be confidential or proprietary, and may include, but is not limited to, information, knowledge or data of an intellectual, technical, scientific, commercial, industrial, financial, cost or pricing nature relating to a Party’s business, including the terms of this Agreement. The requirements of this section and Information as defined in this Agreement shall not be construed to preclude Supplier’s standard practice that is reasonably limited and necessary for Component quotation and procurement, subject to the following conditions: (i) the xxxx of materials (BOM) cannot be distributed to any third party in its entirety, (ii) any portion of any BOM distributed to any third party shall not bear any identifying references to Customer or its Affiliates, and (iii) any portion of the BOM distributed to any third party must only contain Components that such third party is capable of supplying. |
14.1 “Disclosing Party” means the Party disclosing Information. “Receiving Party” means the Party receiving Information. The Receiving Party shall not use Information for any purpose beyond the purpose of this Agreement, or disclose Information to any employees without a need to know and shall employ at least the same level of care it uses to safeguard its own Information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party may only reproduce Information to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall only disclose Information to third parties, including, but not limited to, any manufacturer, independent or subcontractor, or vendor, as may be reasonably necessary in furtherance of its performance under the terms this Agreement and subject to terms no less protective of the Disclosing Party’s Information than the terms contained herein. Subject to the paragraph above, the Receiving Party may not distribute any Information to any third parties without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Supplier may disclose [***], assembly drawings, schematics and BOMs only to third parties on the AVL and only after the execution of a three-way non-disclosure agreement with said third parties, Supplier and Customer. At all times, Supplier is to ensure that Information provided to third parties is provided strictly on a need to know basis and is not more than the minimum Information that is necessary for the third party’s performance in furtherance of this Agreement. Any Information in Supplier’s possession, which has been subsequently replaced or reissued with a Customer revision of said Information, must be diligently returned or destroyed.
Page 21 of 34
Confidential obligations are binding on the Receiving Party during and after the Term of this Agreement. The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations to protect Information disclosed during the Term of this Agreement. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, each Party shall cease all use of Information received hereunder and either return or destroy it.
The restrictions on the Receiving Party’s use and disclosure of Information as set forth above shall not apply to Information which the Receiving Party can show (i) is wholly independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of Information of the Disclosing Party; (ii) is or has become generally available to the public without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (iii) at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party, was known to the Receiving Party free of restriction and evidenced by documentation in the Receiving Party’s possession; (iv) is approved for release by written authorization of the Disclosing Party, but only to the extent of and subject to such conditions as may be imposed in such written authorization; or (v) is disclosed in response to a valid court order or governmental body in the United States, but only to the extent of and for the purposes of such order; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall first notify the Disclosing Party in writing of the order and assist the Disclosing Party in seeking an appropriate protective order.
Both Parties acknowledge that any breach of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to Information, copyright infringement, trademark violation, license requirements and the like will cause irreparable injury for which there are inadequate remedies at law. Therefore, the affected Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief immediately upon breach of any such obligations.
16. | Indemnification. |
16.1 | Supplier agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Customer and its directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Customer that arise from any third party suits, actions, claims or proceedings brought against Customer arising out of (i) a claim that the Work provided by Supplier under this Agreement violates any applicable laws or (ii) a claim that the Product suffers from a manufacturing defect (rather than a flaw in the Technical Specifications) that causes personal injury, death or property damage to such third party. |
16.2 | Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Supplier and its directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Supplier that arise from any third party suits, actions, claims or proceedings brought against Supplier arising out of (i) a claim that Customer’s actions under this Agreement violate any applicable laws, or (ii) a claim that the Product suffers from a design flaw or flaw in the Technical Specifications (rather than a manufacturing defect) that causes personal injury, death or property damage to such third party. |
Page 22 of 34
16.3 | Each Party’s indemnification obligations are contingent upon the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”): (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of the claim; (b) giving the Indemnitor sole control of the defense and related settlement negotiations regarding such claim (provided the Indemnitor may not settle any such claim in a manner that does not unconditionally release the Indemnitee from liability without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld); and (c) providing the Indemnitor with all information, assistance and authority reasonably to perform these duties. |
17. | Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER SECTION 15 (CONFIDENTIALITY) AND TO FULFILL ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER SUCH PARTY, UNDER ANY CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE CLAIM OR THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, WORK STOPPAGE, DATA LOSS, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OR EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGE, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY WAS INFORMED OR WAS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE, AND ALL DAMAGES AWARDED SHALL NOT EXCEED AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF [***]. |

These certificates must show that Customer and its officers, directors, agents, employees, and assigns as additional insureds on the policies designated in Section 18.1. Supplier shall provide Customer with at least [***] days’ written notice of any modification, cancellation or nonrenewal of the required coverages that would result in Supplier no longer meeting the requirements of this Section. |
18.3 | The foregoing insurance coverage is primary and non-contributing with respect to any other insurance or self-insurance which may be maintained by Customer. Each such insurance policy carried by Supplier must not exclude claims brought in the United States or Mexico or any jurisdiction in which the manufacturing services are being provided. The insurers selected by Supplier must have an A.M. best rating of A-/VIII or better, or if such ratings are no longer available, with a comparable rating from a recognized insurance rating agency. If any of the foregoing insurance coverage is maintained on a claims-made basis, such policy or policies must contain a retroactive date lot later than the Effective Date, and must remain in force until a period of at least [***] years after termination of this Agreement and any outstanding service orders. Supplier shall ensure that its permitted subcontractors, if any, maintain insurance coverage as specified in this Section. |
19. | Termination. |
19.1 | The term of this Agreement (“Term”) shall be five (5) years from the Effective Date. At the termination of such period, and unless either party has notified the other of its intent not to have this Agreement renewed, the Term shall renew automatically for one (1) year terms unless and until either Party provides at least two (2) months’ notice of intent not to renew prior to the expiration of any subsequent one (1) year renewal term. In addition to the other termination rights in this Section 19, Customer may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon six (6) months’ prior written notice. |

Additionally, upon termination of this agreement, Supplier agrees to promptly return all Consigned Materials and other materials owned by Customer and provide reasonable transition assistance to Customer. Such return should be at Customer’s reasonable and documented cost and expense.

If it cannot be so modified, rewritten or interpreted to be enforceable in any respect, it will not be given effect, and the remainder of this Agreement will be enforced as if such provision was not included. |
20.8 | Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder to be given to a Party to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by confirmed email to such email address as either Party may designate in writing from time to time, mailed by registered or certified mail, or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger, addressed to such Party’s address as set forth herein or at such other address as the Party shall have furnished to each other Party in writing in accordance with this provision.
