Xxxxx and UAS will review manufacturing overhead costs and labor rates on an annual basis. The fees will be indicated on the purchase orders issued by UAS and accepted by Xxxxx.
(b) The fees will be reviewed periodically by the parties. Any changes and timing of changes shall be agreed by the parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. By way of example only, the fees may be increased if the market price of fuels, materials, equipment, labor and other Commercial Systems costs increase beyond normal variations in pricing.

(b)
Absent a separate agreement for Xxxxx to warehouse and inventory Commercial Systems after sale to UAS, all Commercial Systems delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be suitably packed for shipment in accordance with the Specifications and marked for shipment to UAS’s (or its UAS’s) destination as specified in the applicable purchase order. Risk of loss and title will pass to UAS. All freight, insurance and other shipping expenses, as well as any special packing expenses not included in the original quotation for the Commercial Systems, will be paid by UAS. Xxxxx shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Commercial Systems on the agreed-upon delivery dates and notify UAS of any anticipated delays. For the avoidance of doubt, UAS will be responsible for any Commercial Systems that Xxxxx manufactures under the then-current purchase orders and Forecast and ships to UAS in accordance with the provisions of this Section, whether or not UAS (or its designated freight carrier) actually takes physical possession of such Commercial Systems. UAS’s responsibility will include reimbursing Xxxxx for any reasonable costs or fees that Xxxxx necessarily occurs to protect such Commercial Systems from loss, theft or damage.

ARTICLE 5 COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS ACCEPTANCE AND EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY
5.1
Commercial Systems Acceptance. The Commercial Systems delivered by Xxxxx will be inspected and tested as required by UAS within fifteen (15) days of receipt at the “ship to” location on the applicable purchase order. If Commercial Systems do not comply with the
4
768420.3
express limited warranty set forth in Section 5.2 below, UAS has the right to reject such Commercial Systems during such fifteen (15) day period. Commercial Systems not rejected during such fifteen (15) day period will be deemed accepted; provided, that acceptance of the Commercial Systems does not diminish in any way UAS’s rights or remedies under Section 5.2. UAS may return defective Commercial Systems, freight collect, after obtaining a return material authorization number from Xxxxx to be displayed on the shipping container and completing a failure report. Rejected Commercial Systems will be promptly repaired or replaced, at Xxxxx’ option, and returned freight pre-paid. UAS shall bear the risk of loss or damage to, as well as all shipping costs and expenses associated with, rejected Commercial Systems that have been returned to Xxxxx, but for which no defect is found.
5.2
Express Limited Warranties.
(a)
Warranty. Xxxxx warrants to UAS that all Commercial Systems manufactured by Xxxxx will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. Items not covered include damage from intentional acts, fire, acts of God (hurricanes, etc.) loss, theft, cosmetic wear not affecting functionality, and modification by anyone other than an authorized Xxxxx representative. This warranty does not guarantee forward compatibility for any Xxxxx product sold. The above is subject to the terms and conditions set out below (this warranty is hereinafter described as the "Warranty"). For all other products and components supplied and/or distributed by Xxxxx ("Components"), Xxxxx will pass through all applicable warranties directly to UAS whenever the manufacturer of such Components permits. Xxxxx provides no direct Warranty with respect to Components.
(b)
Length of Warranty. Xxxxx will be obligated to honor the Warranty only if UAS informs Xxxxx of UAS's problem with a Commercial System during three (3) years from the date of purchase (the"term") of the Commercial System.
(c)
Sole Remedy. Xxxxx' sole liability for any breach of the Warranty will be to: (I) replace or repair any defective and/or non-functioning portion of the Commercial Systems; or (II) if in Xxxxx' sole discretion the above remedy is impractical, to refund the fees paid for the defective products. Prior to receiving a replacement or refund of any products, UAS must return to Xxxxx the defective products.
(d)
WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, WHICH ARE LIMITED WARRANTIES AND THE ONLY WARRANTIES MADE BY XXXXX, THE COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY "AS IS," AND XXXXX MAKES NO ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS PROVIDED HEREUNDER.
5
768420.3
IN PARTICULAR, ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.
(e)
Terms and conditions. Damage due to abuse, accident, mishandling, misuse, modification, or misapplication, cancels all of Xxxxx'x obligations under the Warranty. Repair of any Commercial System by any party other than Xxxxx will invalidate the Warranty.
(f)
Shipping Requirements. Upon notifying Xxxxx of a Warranty related claim, Xxxxx will, if appropriate, provide a return material authorization number ("RMA"), for the return of the Commercial System. If supplied to UAS, UAS will complete the RMA and return it to Xxxxx along with the defective Commercial System, transportation and insurance costs prepaid. Xxxxx is not responsible for loss or damage, which may occur in transit. Xxxxx will ship the repaired or replaced Commercial System to the source by UPS Ground unless the UAS provides additional payment to offset express shipment charges. All Commercial System must be shipped in their original shipping containers or other solid and durable shipping container. Failure to return the defective Commercial System to Xxxxx or to otherwise follow these procedures will invalidate the Warranty.
(g)
Additional terms. The agents, dealers and employees of Xxxxx are not authorized to make modifications to this Warranty, or additional warranties binding on Xxxxx about or for Commercial Systems. Additional statements, whether oral or written, except signed written statements from an officer of Xxxxx, do not constitute warranties and should not be relied upon.
(h)
Regardless of any other agreement between the UAS and Xxxxx this Xxxxx Limited Warranty will be governed and controlled in all respects by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, including interpretation, enforceability, validity and construction, without regard to any conflict of law provisions.
(i)
No assignment of the Warranty or of any right or obligation under the Warranty will be made by UAS without the prior consent of Xxxxx. Any assignment of the Warranty without such permission will invalidate the Warranty. Failure to provide proof of purchase to Xxxxx upon request will invalidate the Warranty.
