16. INSPECTION OF PRODUCTS
All Products shall be received subject to Buyer’s inspection and/or rejection. Defective Products or Products not in accordance with Buyer’s specifications will be held for Seller’s instructions and at Seller’s risk, and, if Seller so directs, will be returned at Seller’s expense. Payment for Products prior to inspection shall not constitute an acceptance thereof. Returned Products will be deducted from total shipments. |
17. TRANSACTION SUPPORT
A. | Seller and Buyer understand that in the commercial vehicle and bus industries, suppliers are often required to provide incentives, extended warranties, or rebates to truck end-customers and/or dealers to persuade the customer and/or dealer to specify the supplier’s product(s) in lieu of competitive supplier products, which practice is defined as “Transaction Support”. Transaction Support is paid by the Seller using several approaches, including 1) through the bus OEM, 2) through the OEM dealer, and/or 3) directly to the end-customer. | ||
B. | Seller and Xxxxx also understand that Customers typically interpret Transaction Support to be a commitment between the product supplier and the Customer that is independent of which bus OEM brand the Customer selects for their purchase. | ||
C. | Seller understands Customer’s strategic preference for other bus components that may not include Seller’s Product offering. | ||
D. | If Seller provides Transaction Support to a Customer for multiple components when ordering a competitor’s vehicle, and Buyer does not wish to include all of Seller’s components in a proposal to the Customer, then Seller will offer the same or dollar-value adjusted Transaction Support to the Customer when ordering vehicles supplied by the Buyer with less than all of the multiple components in question. For example, if Seller offers a Customer a $500 rebate for ordering a vehicle from Brand A that includes Seller’s Product A, B, and C, and Buyer does not offer Seller’s Product C to this Customer, then the Seller will offer such Customer a $500 rebate for ordering a vehicle from Buyer or will adjust the rebate to reflect the reduction in dollar value for the exclusion of Product C. |
SELLER PERFORMANCE
18. PERFORMANCE ACHIEVEMENT

Buyer’s plants, Parts Distribution Centers or Supply Manager will communicate non-conformances directly to Seller with requests for corrective actions. These corrective actions must be performed in a timely manner and the issues corrected to the reporting location’s satisfaction. All non-conformances will be subject to the minimum charges as detailed in Appendix B – NON-CONFORMANCE CHARGE SCHEDULE. |

19. KEEP COMPETITIVE AGREEMENT
Xxxxx and Xxxxxx recognize that continuing to be competitive in price, performance, delivery, reliability, quality and technology is essential for this Agreement. If Buyer reasonably demonstrates to Seller that any Product is not a competitive value in price, performance, delivery, reliability, technology or quality with other equivalent products of equivalent value, production, usage or availability in the world, then Seller agrees to provide an action plan and timetable within sixty (60) days of such demonstration to cure the deficiency to Buyer’s satisfaction. If the plan fails to cure the deficiency within the agreed upon timetable, then Buyer may at its option withdraw the non-competitive Product(s) from this Agreement and serve notice to terminate the obligations of the parties under this Agreement with respect thereto, effective upon the date specified by Buyer in such notice. Xxxxx agrees that prior to exercising its option, it will consider, in good faith, any proposal by Seller to correct the deficiency. |
20. SUPPLY FAILURE
In the event of a partial failure of Seller’s sources of supply for the Products purchased, Seller will first meet all of Buyer’s requirements hereunder prior to any allocation among customers under Section 2-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code. |
21. LATE DELIVERY CHARGES
If Buyer determines that Seller’s deliveries are so far behind a given schedule that Buyer requests express shipments, Seller will pay the express charges. If Xxxxxx’s deliveries are so far behind a given schedule that the Buyer is compelled to use material not according to Xxxxx’s specification, or at a higher cost, the Seller will pay whatever additional costs, expenses, losses, or damages Buyer sustains. |
22. ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE
If Buyer reasonably deems itself insecure with respect to Seller’s ongoing performance, whether due to Seller’s financial capacity or otherwise, Buyer may demand that Seller provide assurance of future performance to Buyer within five (5) days of the demand. This assurance may be in any security acceptable to Buyer, including but not limited to, collateral consisting of cash, letter(s) of credit, surety bond, parent guaranty, or lender releases. This security shall be in an amount satisfactory to Buyer and shall also be sufficient to offset costs and expenses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by Buyer in securing for itself completion of the project or other performance due from Seller. Buyer reserves its right to any other remedies allowed in law or equity. Failure to provide the requested performance assurance within the stated period shall constitute a default of this Agreement, and Buyer shall be free to procure Product from an alternate source and/or cancel this Agreement in its discretion immediately upon expiration of the time specified for delivery of the requested performance assurance. |

23. REIMBURSEMENT FOR NON-PERFORMANCE BY SELLER

Seller to Buyer hereunder or the use or sale by Buyer or its Customers in the
manner contemplated by this Agreement infringes any patent or copyright or other
intellectual property right or is a wrongful use of third-party trade secret or
proprietary information, and further agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless
from any Losses, including attorneys’ fees, settlements associated with said
Claim, or any Losses, including attorneys’ fees or costs, finally awarded in any
such Claim. If the use or sale of any Product furnished pursuant to this
Agreement is enjoined as a result of such Claim, Seller, at its option and at no
expense to Buyer, shall obtain for Buyer and its Customers the right to use and
sell the Product(s) or shall substitute an equivalent product(s) acceptable to
Buyer and extend this indemnity thereto. This indemnity does not extend to any
Claim based on any infringement of any patent by the combination of Product(s)
furnished by Seller with other components added thereto by Buyer, except when the
Product(s) is a material part of the invention of an asserted patent and the
components furnished by Buyer to complete the claimed combination, such as an
engine, sensor, or vehicle frame are not novel within the meaning of the patent
or are specified or approved by Seller. This indemnity does not extend to any
infringement or alleged infringement arising solely out of Seller’s compliance

Failure of the Indemnitee to notify the Indemnitor within such notice period shall not relieve Indemnitor of any liability hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnitor reasonably demonstrates that the defense of such third party claim is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state that the Indemnitor is required to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Loss and shall specify the amount of Loss, if available, and relevant details thereof. The Indemnitor shall notify Indemnitee within a reasonable time from such notice of its intention to assume the defense of any such claim, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. |

As of its execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with a
certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage. Failure to provide such
certificate of insurance shall void this Agreement, at Buyer’s sole option.
47. | REMOVAL OF IDENTITY OF BUYER |
At its own expense Seller agrees to destroy or remove to the Buyer’s complete
satisfaction Buyer’s corporate name, addresses, trademarks, patent numbers,
and all other references to Buyer from all Products rejected or canceled by
Buyer, or purchased or produced by Seller in excess of quantities specified
by Buyer, whether such Products are completed or partially completed,
delivered, tendered for delivery, or undelivered, prior to disposition of
such Products to parties other than Buyer, or to destroy such Products.
Seller acknowledges that any sale of Products bearing the Buyer’s trade name
and/or trademarks to any person or entity other than Buyer is an infringement
of the Buyer’s proprietary rights in its trade name and/or trademarks and is
an attempt by Seller to “pass off” products of others as the products of
Buyer. Without first obtaining the written consent of Buyer, Xxxxxx agrees
that it shall not in any manner make known the fact that Seller has
furnished, or contracted to furnish, Buyer the Products covered by this
Agreement, or use the name of Buyer or any of its trademarks or trade names
in Seller’s advertising or other promotional material.
48. | NEW BUSINESS |
Buyer shall negotiate with Seller in good faith with regard to placing new
production business of Buyer with Seller if, in Buyer’s opinion, Seller is
competitive in the areas of price, performance, delivery, reliability,
technology and quality with other manufacturers of any such products. Both
Buyer and Seller shall work together to develop target costs and establish
the lowest possible cost of any new product. Seller agrees to provide all
price/cost submissions with full cost transparency throughout the iterative
design process. Seller shall also specify tooling and production lead times

the quotation. Nothing in this Article 48 — NEW BUSINESS shall be construed as an
obligation on the part of Buyer to develop or purchase any products other than
those Products covered by this Agreement.
49. | CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY |
A. | During the term of this Agreement, each party hereto may disclose to the other certain confidential information relating to the manufacturing, sale, marketing, development or distribution of the Product(s), the application of the Product(s) by Buyer, processes, trade secrets and business and financial information and marketing plans of either party as well as confidential information (which may be in electronic form, as well) resulting from the performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation, purchase orders, sales projections, customer lists, designs under development, intellectual property and know-how. Any such information that is marked or otherwise clearly identified at the time of disclosure as “confidential” or “proprietary” or any information which a person would reasonably deem to be confidential information of the parties under the circumstances shall be considered as “Confidential Information” for purposes of this Agreement, provided that, if the information is disclosed orally, a writing identified as “confidential” or “proprietary” and summarizing the Confidential Information will be provided within thirty (30) days after disclosure. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the receiving party will use its best efforts to prevent the disclosure of such Confidential Information to third parties and will not use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement. “Best efforts” with respect to any Confidential Information means at least that degree of care normally used by the receiving party to prevent disclosure to others of its own confidential information of similar importance, but in no case less than a reasonable degree of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Buyer agree that Confidential Information shall not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act on the receiving party’s part; or (b) is, at the time of disclosure under this Agreement, already known to the receiving party without restriction on disclosure; or (c) is, or subsequently becomes, rightfully and without breach of this Agreement, in the receiving party’s possession without any obligation restricting disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to or use of the Confidential Information; or (e) is disclosed pursuant to an order of any governmental or judicial authority, after prior notice to the disclosing party respecting such order, and affording the disclosing party reasonable cooperation respecting any objections by the disclosing party to the request for disclosure, including a reasonable opportunity for the disclosing party to obtain a protective order in respect to the Confidential Information at the expense of the disclosing party. | ||
B. | Upon request of the disclosing party at any time, the recipient agrees to return to the disclosing party or destroy all materials in its possession or control which contain Confidential Information of the disclosing party, including, without limitation, documents, drawings, CAD drawings, computer media, models, prototypes, sketches, designs, and lists furnished by the disclosing party or accessed by the recipient, including copies thereof made by the recipient, and to delete from its computers any software, data files, or CAD files containing Confidential Information furnished by the disclosing party.

the office of its General Counsel, such archival copy to be used solely in
connection with resolving claims or disputes between the parties relating to this
Agreement.
X. | Xxxxxx agrees to communicate to Buyer all inventions, discoveries, computer programs, algorithms, technical data and information resulting under this Agreement made or conceived by Seller, its employees, contractors or subcontractors solely or in collaboration with Buyer’s personnel during the term of the Agreement: and Seller shall execute or cause its employees, contractors or subcontractors to execute any and all documents which Buyer may deem necessary to assign or to convey to Buyer or a subsidiary thereof, Xxxxx’s successors or assigns, the sole and exclusive right, title and interest in and to such inventions, discoveries and improvements in any Letters Patent therefore. | ||

F. | This Article 49 — CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. |
50. | TERMINATION |
A. | Termination by Xxxxx. Buyer shall have the right at any time and for any reason (without any penalty) to terminate, in whole or in part, this Agreement or the deliveries specified and the authorizations contained in any shipping schedule given to the Seller by Buyer, provided the Buyer shall provide the Seller one hundred and twenty (120) days notice of such termination, whereupon this Agreement shall automatically terminate immediately after the 120th day. Upon such termination by Buyer, the Buyer shall have no liability or responsibility to the Seller for Products completed or partially completed, or raw materials acquired by the Seller for the purpose of performing this Agreement, unless the delivery or fabrication of such |

The Seller shall give Buyer thirty (30) days written notice from the determination of the failure to cure the default, whereupon the termination shall be effective. | ||
C. | Rights and Obligations of Parties. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the termination of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to (without acting as a limitation): |
i. | Either party’s obligations of confidentiality provided for in Article 49 — CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; | ||

the other party pursuant to which the assignee assumes all of the obligations of

violation of this Article 51 — ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS AND DUTIES shall be void.
52. | MODIFICATION AND AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT |
No modifications of, or additions to, the provisions or conditions of this
Agreement (including the Exhibits, Appendices and Schedules hereto) will become a
part of the Agreement until agreed to in writing by the Buyer and Seller. This
Agreement (including the Exhibits, Appendices and Schedules hereto) may not be

purpose of clarity, Appendix A — PRODUCT DESCRIPTION may not be amended, modified
or altered without the written consent of Xxxxx and Seller. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buyer may issue addenda to Contracts for the purposes of modifying the
part numbers listed in Appendix A. Such modifications will constitute a binding
amendment unless Seller provides Buyer written notice of Seller’s objection within
thirty days of Seller’s receipt of the addenda.
53. | CHOICE OF LAW |
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of
Illinois, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions thereof.
54. | CONSENT TO JURISDICTION |
All actions, proceedings, claims, counterclaims or cross-complaints in any action
or other proceeding brought by any party hereto against any other party hereto
with respect to any matter arising out of, or in any way connected with or related
to, this Agreement or any portion thereof, whether based upon contractual,
statutory, tortuous or other theories of liability arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, shall be heard and determined in any federal court sitting in
Chicago, Illinois, unless there is no federal court jurisdiction, in which case
the action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any state court sitting
in Chicago, Illinois, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the
jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding, IRREVOCABLY AGREE
THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS A PROPER VENUE FOR ANY SUCH ACTION, and irrevocably waive
the defense of an inconvenient forum. Each party irrevocably consents to the
service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of
copies of such process to such party at its address specified in Article 59 —
NOTICES. Nothing in this Article 54 — CONSENT TO JURISDICTION shall affect the
right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by
law.
55. | SEVERABILITY |
In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to
any party of circumstance shall be finally determined by a court of proper
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, then (i) a suitable and
equitable provision shall be substituted therefore in order to carry out, so far
as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid and
unenforceable provision, and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of such provision to the parties or

circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall
not be affected thereby.
56. | NO LIMITATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE |
The provisions of each Article of this Agreement are not intended to limit any
rights and remedies of the Seller or Buyer at law or in equity. Each of the parties
acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be damaged irreparably in the
event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with
their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties
agrees that the other party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any
court having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter (subject to the
provisions set forth in Article 54 — CONSENT TO JURISDICTION above), in addition to
other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.
57. | FORCE MAJEURE |
A. | Except as described below, neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent this failure or delay both: |
i. | Is caused by any of the following: acts for war, terrorism, civil riots, or rebellions; quarantines, embargoes, and other similar unusual governmental action; extraordinary elements of nature or acts of God; and | ||
ii. | Could not have been prevented by the non-performing party’s reasonable precautions or commercially accepted processes (including, but not limited to, implementation of disaster recovery and business continuity plans in accordance with industry best practices), or could not reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing party through the use of substitute services, alternate sources, work-around plans, or other means by which the requirements of a buyer of products substantively similar to the product hereunder would be satisfied. |
Events meeting both of the above criteria are referred to as “Force Majeure
Events.” The parties expressly acknowledge that Force Majeure Events do not include
vandalism, the regulatory acts of governmental agencies, labor strikes, lockouts,
labor difficulty or the non-performance of third parties or subcontractors relied
on for the delivery of the Product unless such failure or non-performance by a
third party or subcontractor is itself caused by a Force Majeure Event, as defined
above. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, as long as the non-performing
party provides the other party written notice of the Force Xxxxxx event within ten
(10) days of its occurrence, the non-performing party shall be excused from any
further performance or observance of the affected obligation(s) for as long as such
circumstances prevail, and such party continues to attempt to recommence
performance or observance to the greatest extent possible without delay.
B. | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, a Force Majeure Event shall obligate Seller to begin and successfully implement all services relating to disaster |

recovery set forth in a “Disaster Recovery Plan” as may be specifically requested by Xxxxx. If a Force Majeure Event causes a material failure or delay in the performance of any Seller obligation with respect to any Product, Buyer may, at its option, and in addition to any other rights Buyer may have, procure such Product from an alternate source until Seller is again able to provide such Products. If a Force Majeure Event causes a material failure or delay in the performance of any Seller obligation with respect to any Product for more than five (5) consecutive days, Buyer may, at its option, and in addition to any other rights Buyer may have, terminate this Agreement | ||
