certain Purchase and Supply Agreement dated as of June 21, 1996 (the
"Contract"), and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions
set forth herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in
this Amendment will have the meaning given to such terms in the Contract.
References to "Specifications" include the modifications to the Specifications
set forth in the Consent to Specification Deviation executed by the Parties and
dated September 24, 1996.
2. Agreements.
(a) The Owner hereby waives its rights to [___________]. Nothing
contained in this clause (a) shall in any way amend, waive or otherwise modify
the Owner's rights under the Contract as amended hereby in the event of any
Vendor delivery delay after the date hereof; provided, however, any delivery
delays that occurred prior to the date hereof shall not be taken into
consideration with respect to any future application of subsection 4.2(e) of the
Contract.
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of the Contract and any Purchase Orders
delivered to the Vendor prior to the date hereof, the Vendor shall have and hold
specifically for the Owner the following quantities of Specification compliant
Subscriber Units (and their Material Accessories) at its manufacturing facility
in San Diego, California no later than the dates set forth below:
Date Amount
[ ]
It is agreed by the Parties that the quantities and dates set forth
above are firm and that no grace periods (including, but not limited to, the
Xxxxx Xxxxx Period) will apply to these dates and/or quantities. To the extent
the quantities of Products set forth above are manufactured and held as set
forth in this clause (b) and clause (c) below by the dates set forth above, the
Vendor may invoice the Owner for such manufactured, held and verified
Specification compliant Products at the prices set forth on Appendix 1 as
amended hereby. The [_______] Subscriber Units to be manufactured and held on
[_______________], as set forth above, will be divided between [_________]
Subscriber Units and [__________] Subscriber Units and the Owner and the Vendor
will work together in good faith to promptly agree and establish color samples
for such colored Subscriber Units; provided, however, in the event the Parties
fail to promptly reach such agreement, then the color of such Subscriber Units
shall be as set forth in Exhibit A1 and their price shall not include the price
increase set forth in "Note 3" to Appendix 1. It is expressly understood and
agreed by the Parties that in the event the Vendor shall for any reason (other
than an event constituting a Force Majeure pursuant to subsection 11.17 of the
Contract in which case the terms of subsection 11.17 shall apply) fail to comply
with any of the specific dates, quantities and other requirements set forth in
this clause (b) by not having and holding such quantities of Specification
compliant Subscriber Units (and their Material Accessories) specifically for the
Owner (as verified in accordance with clause (c) below) at the Vendor's
manufacturing facility in San Diego, California, then, notwithstanding anything
in the Contract to the contrary, the Owner will have the right, based upon the
Owner's needs and requirements, as determined in the Owner's sole and absolute
discretion and upon giving the Vendor written notice, within three (3) Business
Days following such failure or notice of failure by the Vendor, of the Owner's
election to proceed under either subclause (i) or (ii) below, to:
(i) if the Owner [_______]; provided, that in such event the Owner will have the
right and the Vendor will be obligated to [__________]; or
(ii) if the Owner [________________]; provided, that the price of any such late
Products will be [______________]. In the event such late Products are in excess
of [___________], the Owner will again have the right to [-----------].
(c) Any Products manufactured and held pursuant to clause (b) above
will be held by the Vendor in separately identifiable inventory, in individual
boxes or bulk storage boxes, at the Vendor's manufacturing facility in San
Diego, California specifically for the Owner and any such held quantities will,
on or before the delivery dates set forth above, be verified by the Vendor in
writing to the Owner identifying the quantity, location, model and serial
numbers of the Products so held and further identifying such Products as being
held for the Owner pursuant to the Contract (provided that the Vendor's
verification of the first thirty thousand (30,000) Subscriber Units to be
available on October 27, 1996, will be dated November 4, 1996). The Vendor will
provide the Owner and its personnel reasonable access to its facilities to
physically verify the availability and continued maintenance of delivered
Products held for the Owner; provided, that the Owner will exercise its rights
(to the extent not previously exercised) to physically verify the availability
and continued maintenance of any such Products already verified by the Vendor to
the Owner pursuant to and in accordance with the first sentence of clause (c)
within five (5) days after receipt of any such written verification from the
Vendor and provided further that nothing herein will prevent the Vendor from
sending an invoice to the Owner for any Vendor verified Products at any time (i)
after the Owner shall have notified the Vendor in writing of its intent not to
physically verify the availability and continued maintenance of such Products or
(ii) after expiration of such five day period if the Owner neither physically
verifies nor provides notice of the Owner's intention not to physically verify
(in which event the Owner shall be deemed to have verified for purposes of the
third sentence of clause 2(b) above). The Vendor will hold all such Products
until such time as the Owner provides written notice to the Vendor that it
desires to have all or any portion of such held Products delivered to the FOB
point for shipment; provided, that the Owner will provide the Vendor with three
(3) days prior written notice to individually box any Products held by the
Vendor in bulk storage based upon a Vendor individual box packaging ability of
five thousand (5,000) Subscriber Units (and their Material Accessories) per day.
If for any reason the Vendor shall not, on the date(s) scheduled for the
delivery thereof, deliver to the FOB point any Products held for the Owner which
have been paid for by the Owner, then (notwithstanding subsection 11.17 of the
Contract), the Owner will have the absolute right to the immediate refund of any
monies paid to the Vendor for any such held but undelivered Products, and such
right will be in addition to any and all rights (subject to subsection 11.17 of
the Contract) the Owner may otherwise have in Contract or in law in any such
event.
(d) The Vendor will have a release of software ready for conducting
phase 2 NSOTASP interoperability testing with the Owner's infrastructure vendors
on November 15, 1996. This release of Software is intended to have and this
phase of testing is intended to verify the following NSOTASP functionality: (a)
default factory configuration complies to section 3.1 of IS-683; (b) an NSOTASP
call can be successfully completed; (c) a PCS call can be originated using the
newly programmed mobile; (d) a PCS voice call can be terminated by the newly
programmed mobile; (e) programming lock works properly; (f) the parameters of an
activated mobile can be modified by an NSOTASP call; (g) no permanent data is
changed if the call is terminated before the "Commit;" (h) verify the PRL is
stored properly; and (i) mobile functions properly after downloading a list with
PRL with a size exceeding MAX_PR_LIST_SIZE. Following successful passing of all
these phase 2 tests, the Vendor will, within four weeks, be in a position to
conduct CDG testing with the Owner's infrastructure vendors. Any and all
Subscriber Units held at the Vendor's facilities will be promptly upgraded by
the Vendor to have such NSOTASP Software upon availability of NSOTASP Software
and within the time for implementing such feature, in each instance in
accordance with and pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 4.5 of
Exhibit A-1 of the Contract. The Vendor may invoice the Owner and the Owner will
pay to the Vendor $3.85 for the upgrading of each such satisfactorily
OTASP-upgraded Subscriber Unit.
(e) The liquidated damages provisions of subsection 4.2(a) of the
Contract shall not apply to those 1996 forecasted Products which are
specifically subject to liquidated damages, price reduction and/or cancellation
pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii) of this Amendment.

Specification compliant Subscriber Units (and their Material
Accessories) above the Total Minimum Commitment. If the Owner should
order any such additional Subscriber Units (and their Material
Accessories) for delivery at any time in 1996, any such order for such
additional Products will be deemed an Excess Purchase Order and to the
extent fulfilled by the Vendor, will be fulfilled at a price not in
