Preamble

B&R deals with developing, manufacturing and selling automation technology systems and components.

Congatec is an innovative supplier of embedded computer technology for deployment in industrial environments.

According to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, B&R charges Congatec with developing, manufacturing and serially supplying embedded boards, [***].

For this cooperation, Congatec and B&R enter into the following Agreement:

1. Subject matter of the Agreement

1.1. Congatec undertakes to supply B&R with the Contractual Products pursuant to Schedule 1 for the complete term of the Agreement. Contractual Products are all products Congatec supplies due to an order from B&R. [***]. [***].

1.2. [***]. In this case, special and yet to be defined terms and conditions shall be set forth in the scope of a supplementary contract for work and services.

2. Serial delivery

2.1. [***].[***]. [***].

2.2. For the number of pieces to be delivered, the respective requirement resulting from B&R’s call-off orders shall be decisive. The quantities to be delivered and delivery dates B&R plans result from the Logistics Concept pursuant to Schedule 8. As far as the call-off orders stay within the planning limits according to Logistics Concept Schedule 8, Congatec guarantees to be able to deliver the planned quantities on the planned dates.

2.3. Congatec shall provide the serial parts with a date stamp (year/week) and the necessary material specifications. Moreover, Congatec undertakes to carry out any further marking or the labeling of the Contractual Products and/or parts thereof on request of B&R and, if reasonable, [***]. The enclosed Quality Assurance Agreement Schedule 3 especially establishes rules for the collection and management of serial number relevant information.

2.4. B&R shall have the opportunity to be supplied with all modules not custom-made of Congatec’s delivery program.

2.5. B&R shall be kept up to date about the current scope of delivery and services of the Congatec group by means of regular product meetings. To this end, Congatec invites B&R [***] for a product meeting which shall mainly include [***].

2.6. During the term of the Agreement, Congatec shall provide B&R with [***].

2.7. In the case of functional tests for the Contractual Products becoming necessary at B&R’s, Congatec shall support B&R to a reasonable extent with preparing the respective means for functional tests.

3. Call-off orders

3.1. Each call-off order shall lead to a separate contract for delivery. B&R has the right to amend or modify (incl. to cancel) a call-off order pursuant to Schedule 8, especially regarding its quantity, date and place of delivery, packaging and type of delivery. Subject to different written arrangements, for amendments and modifications leading to a stock developing at Congatec’s not utilizable for B&R’s serial production any more, [***] form the upper limit for a replacement eventually agreed-upon and/or otherwise to be compensated by B&R.

3.2. In all documents and any (machine) readable communication regarding call-off orders, the B&R call-off order number shall be included.

4. Dates of delivery, delivery periods, scope of delivery

4.1. Congatec shall confirm all orders and/or call-off orders in writing within [***] working days at the latest. As far as the orders and/or call-off orders stay within the planned scope pursuant to Logistics Concept Schedule 8, the single contract for delivery already comes into force with the order and/or the call-off order. In this case, the acknowledgment of the order is a pure declaration of knowledge. If the order is handled with an e.g. EDI supported process, Congatec shall act according to the underlying agreements.

4.2. Congatec guarantees the compliance with the time of delivery, quantities to be delivered and any further arrangements defined in Schedule 8, Logistics Concept. The dates of delivery, delivery periods and

quantities to be delivered, set down by B&R in this context, shall be binding. For the compliance with the date of delivery or the delivery period, the receipt of the Contractual Products at B&R’s shall be decisive.

4.3. Congatec acknowledges the essential importance of the dates of delivery and/or delivery periods and the quantities to be delivered. [***].

4.4. Congatec undertakes to implement an efficient logistics concept after kick-off, for instance executed by means of an EDI connection.

Furthermore, Congatec declares their willingness to participate in B&R’s [***]. This aims at installing and executing a cost optimal and efficient supply chain management between Congatec and B&R.

4.5. [***].[***].

4.6. Congatec shall prove to B&R the establishment and implementation of an emergency plan providing for alternative manufacturing and delivery options in the case of a total or partial loss of production at Congatec’s or the designated Contract Manufacturer’s (CM) to ensure B&R’s being supplied according to the Agreement. This Emergency Plan Schedule 5 is appended to the present Agreement.

4.7. Should it not be possible to comply with delivery dates or periods and/or quantities to be delivered, Congatec shall inform B&R about this without undue delay, stating the reasons for the delay and its duration and/or for the reduced quantity, and shall take the necessary corrective measures. Moreover, Congatec declares their willingness to make the respective market tendencies (e.g. longer delivery periods, limited availability etc.) available for B&R early on and in an adequate manner without being asked. The rights of B&R arising out of a delay remain unaffected.

4.8. If the date of delivery is exceeded, the delay in delivery shall arise immediately. [***].[***], B&R in any case retains the right to assert their claim for further damages and other claims; however, these are restricted pursuant to paragraph 12. [***].[***].

5. Guaranty, product liability, recall

5.1. Congatec guarantees the order and/or delivery conform, complete condition free of defects - especially with respect to the commonly assumed and warranted conditions mentioned in public comments until the time of delivery at B&R’s and to sample or specimen conform properties of the delivered Contractual Products - in the respect that this condition exists both at the time of receipt at B&R’s and at any point in time till the guaranty period expires. Furthermore, Congatec guarantees in this respect that the delivered Contractual Products comply with the regulatory and statutory provisions in force at the time of receipt at B&R’s, especially with the relevant occupational health and accident prevention regulations, even if the Contractual Product was manufactured to B&R’s specifications, and Congatec guarantees that type, usefulness, design and manufacturing engineering of the delivered Contractual Products are in accordance with the relevant acknowledged rules and state of the art of science and technology and that only first class quality material has been used which is suitable for the typical application purpose. The time period for the guaranteed condition free of defects is [***] months and starts with the date of receipt at B&R’s. The guaranty period shall prolong itself by the time period of Congatec’s subsequent performance measures, from the receipt of B&R’s notice of defects till the date Congatec declares the end of the measures in writing or rejects a further subsequent performance in writing. In the case of a self-performance according to 5.3, the guaranty period shall prolong itself by the period of time taken till the subsequent performance is terminated. The approval of samples shall not release Congatec from their obligation to deliver Contractual Products free from defects to all intents and purposes (e.g. regarding commonly assumed properties, usability according to the nature of the business or the arrangement made or properties according to public comments). [***].[***].

5.2. Considering the condition and durability guaranty pursuant to 5.1, B&R has no duty to examine nor are they required to make a complaint in respect of a defect immediately on receipt of the goods. Nevertheless, but without Congatec’s deriving any rights from its omission, B&R shall execute an inspection on receipt in the respect that B&R will carry out sampling inspections regarding defects perceptible without inspection, i.e.any visible defects (e.g. transport damages), and regarding wrong deliveries (identity of the Contractual Products) and over- and short deliveries (quantity of the Contractual Products) within ten working days (Monday through Friday). Without Congatec’s deriving any rights from a respective omission, B&R shall notify defects of the supply coming to light during the above-mentioned inspections within a time period of an additional ten working days, hidden defects within a time period of ten working days after B&R has learned about the hidden defect. B&R will not carry out any further receiving inspection and testing (e.g. technical performance check). At the CM’s (Contract Manufacturer), an outbound inspection exists to this end. Furthermore, Congatec shall carry

out a source inspection. B&R shall carry out an outbound inspection for systems. [***].

5.3. B&R shall have the right at their own choice to require Congatec to remedy defects at short notice by correction (repair, supplement the missing) and/or replacement at the expense and risk of Congatec. [***].[***]. If Congatec does not fulfil its obligation to correct or replace without undue delay or if an immediate subsequent performance is necessary to safeguard the interests of B&R, B&R shall also have the right to remedy defects or render services not rendered on their own accord or have them remedied and/or rendered by third parties [***]. Normally and at their own choice, B&R will give Congatec the opportunity of correction or replacement, but only if the defect is detected before B&R uses the Contractual Product in their manufacture, if B&R thinks Congatec is capable of replacing or correcting the defective Contractual Product and if the replacement or correction will not lead to delays in B&R’s manufacturing process. [***]. Any additional and further rights of B&R shall remain unaffected at any rate.

5.4. If a third party files a claim with B&R due to a defectiveness or faultiness of a Contractual Product, within the scope of the limitation on liability pursuant to item 12 of this Agreement, [***]. Furthermore, Congatec undertakes to support B&R to the best of their ability in an eventual legal dispute with third parties.

5.5. If one of the Parties to the Agreement sees indications a recall of the end product will be necessary due to one of Congatec’s products, each Party to the Agreement shall notify the other party about the reasons and provide them with the documentation supporting this view without undue delay. The other Party to the Agreement shall comment on the indications of a possible recall without undue delay. If the Parties to the Agreement do not reach an understanding in writing about the necessity of a recall and/or its scope, each Party to the Agreement may fix a date for a meeting with at the least [***] days’ notice, at which representatives of each Party to the Agreement having decision-making authority shall take part. If one of the Parties to the Agreement does not act according to this schedule, they cannot refer to the point that this recall was necessary objectively or not towards the other Party to the Agreement, unless the other Party to the Agreement has misconceived that fact by gross negligence or intentionally. [***].

5.6. If a third party asserts claims against B&R due to personal injury and/or property damage purportedly caused by a defect and/or fault of Congatec’s Contractual Products or of products these Contractual Products are integrated in, the Parties to the Agreement shall immediately and in good faith endeavor to enter into a legal defense agreement. The legal defense agreement shall aim to promote the cooperation between the Parties to the Agreement regarding the defense against a third party claim or legal action.

5.7. An eventual liability of Congatec for B&R claims for damages and/or reimbursement of expenses shall depend on the provisions of this Agreement and the laws applicable to it. Congatec’s subcontractors, especially CMs (Contract Manufacturers), shall be deemed Congatec’s vicarious agents.

5.8. Congatec is liable for claims arising out of the infringement of intangible property rights (e.g. trademark, sample, patent, know-how, copyrights etc.) of third parties during the use of the Contractual Products in accordance with this Agreement. Congatec indemnifies B&R and all of their staff and other vicarious agents and holds them harmless from any and all claims arising from the use of such intangible property rights. The Parties to the Agreement undertake to notify each other without undue delay about risks of infringement and purported infringement cases coming to their knowledge and to give each other the opportunity to take concerted action against respective claims.

6. Serial defects

6.1. A serial defect is at hand if due to the type of defect/fault and the cause of an occurred defect/fault it is determined that this defect/fault might occur in all of the parts/components Congatec delivers or in a certain range of parts/components Congatec delivers. This shall be especially assumed if the notices of defect/fault reach a limiting value of [***]% but at least [***] defect/fault cases according to the following definition. For the consideration, the defect/fault cases jointly accepted by B&R and Congatec shall be relevant.

6.2. The calculation of the percentage value shall follow from the ratio of the defective/faulty parts/components of a delivery to the number of entirely delivered, similar parts/components of this delivery. The defects/faults considered for the notices of defect/fault presuppose the same level of inspection.

6.3. In the case of a serial defect, Congatec shall either, at B&R’s choice, provide replacement parts/components free of defects/faults for all delivered parts/components possibly exhibiting the serial defect, whether or not the defect/fault has already occurred, and within the scope of the limitation on liability pursuant to item 12 of this Agreement, shall assume all costs for replacing the respective parts/components and the resulting costs for shipment and assembly or carry out the replacement and/or rectification of defects free of charge and reimburse B&R for all further expenses occurring in this regard due to the replacement and/or rectification.

Xxxxxxx

- hereinafter called “B&R” or “Ordering Party” -

and

Congatec AG

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0

00000 Xxxxxxxxxx

Xxxxxxx

- hereinafter called “Contractor” -

B&R and Contractor

- hereinafter called “Parties to the Agreement”

1. Purpose of the Quality Assurance Agreement (QAA)

B&R aims to establish an intensive cooperation with their contractors on a partnership basis. The following aims are at the center of this goal:

· Continuing increase in customer satisfaction

· Continuing decrease in processing and product placement times

· Efficient improvement of product and process quality

· Reduction of development, process and manufacturing costs

· Avoidance of double inspections

The present Agreement especially aims at making B&R’s quality expectations transparent. The Contractor is integrated as an essential element into the high quality standards B&R sets for themselves, their products, services and business processes. The Contractor undertakes to participate in an active and goal-oriented way.

2. Subject and scope of the Agreement

2.1. This Agreement applies to the Contractual Products specified in Schedule 1 to this Agreement. If B&R has left a sample with the Contractor or if the Contractor manufactured a sample which B&R has accepted, design and properties of this sample shall be deemed an addition to the specification (Schedule 1). This specification constitutes a warranty of properties unless the parties agree otherwise. The Contractor has checked the Contractual Products specification and considers it conclusive. If a sample is at hand, the Contractor has checked its conformity with the specifications and deems the conformity fulfilled.

2.2. If the Contractor finds the specification (Schedule 1) as faulty, mistakable, incomplete or diverging from the sample while developing, manufacturing or inspecting the Contractual Products, they will notify the Ordering Party in writing about it without undue delay and make suggestions on corrective measures.

2.3. This Agreement comes into force when signed and may be terminated by either Party to the Agreement within 3 months by the end of a calendar half year, however, not before the termination of a current framework supply agreement.

2.4. This Agreement also applies to Contractual Products B&R ordered before this Agreement was signed but which were delivered after it came into force. By coming into force, this Agreement supersedes the previous QAA (if any) and amends all further agreements between B&R and the Contractor.

3. Quality assurance

3.1. The Contractor shall apply an adequate quality assurance system set down in writing fulfilling the specifications defined in Schedule 2 to this Agreement and shall manufacture and inspect the Contractual Products according to the rules of this quality assurance system. Specifications for the quality assurance system exceeding the ones mentioned are also defined in Schedule 2 to this Agreement.

3.2. The Contractor shall include subcontractors’ products and services into their quality assurance system by means of agreements or shall ensure the quality of subcontractors’ deliveries and services themselves. This shall also apply to products and services specified by B&R even if these are procured on B&R terms from the subcontractor themselves.

3.3. Furthermore, the Contractor shall inspect the Contractual Products in any case each time before delivering to B&R according to the rules of their quality assurance system mentioned in this Agreement. The Contractor has checked these terms and conditions regarding their being conclusive and compatible with the inspections as provided in their quality assurance system and deems the conclusiveness and compatibility fulfilled. Clause 2.2 to this Agreement applies mutatis mutandis.

3.4. The Contractor shall prepare records (documentation) of conducting their quality assurance measures, especially regarding measured values and test results, and shall keep these

and any samples available in a clearly arranged manner. Schedule 2 to this Agreement specifies type, scope and preservation period of this documentation and these samples.

4. Initial samples

Initial samples are products manufactured completely with standard equipment under standard conditions. The initial sample inspection forms the basis for the serial delivery of a B&R-specific product and shall be documented in an initial sample inspection report. Initial samples shall be delivered especially labeled in quantities still to be agreed upon. Together with the initial samples, the Contractor shall supply an initial sample inspection report containing the inspection results of all relevant quality properties the Contractor shall have defined. Any and all deviations from the B&R specification shall be documented within the scope of the initial sampling. B&R inspects the initial samples, notifies the Contractor of the inspection results and, upon approval, gives their written approval of the serial delivery.

5. Contractor’s obligation to produce supporting documents and Contractor’s duty to supply information

5.1. The Contractor shall give B&R the opportunity to verify the execution of the quality assurance measures set down in point 3 within reasonable time intervals. To a reasonable extent and upon prior agreement of a date, the Contractor shall grant B&R access to their business premises and provide qualified staff for support during such a visit. By making corresponding arrangements with their subcontractors who are associated with the Contractual Products, the Contractor shall ensure in favor of B&R that, to a reasonable extent and upon prior agreement of a date, B&R is also granted access to the subcontractors’ business premises and that qualified staff is provided for support during such a visit.

5.2. The Contractor shall inform the Ordering Party’s quality assurance representative about substantial changes within the agreed-upon quality assurance system or procedure and about any changes in materials, manufacturing processes, subcontractor parts, sites of operational facilities, data sheets and other documents, unless the Contractor is positive these changes will not impair the properties and reliability of the Contractual Products. The information shall be submitted in such a timely and comprehensive manner that the Ordering Party is able to assess its implications and object to it before the respective change is applied to the Contractual Products. Silence on the part of the Ordering Party shall not relieve the Contractor of their sole responsibility for the properties and reliability of the Contractual Products. Such changes always and without exception require B&R’s written approval. Eventual verbal agreements of any kind shall not be valid. The Contractor shall document all changes to the Contractual Product and product relevant changes in the process chain in a product life cycle and deliver it to B&R upon request. The Contractor may deny insight into confidential manufacturing processes and other trade secrets.

5.3. Should the Contractor become aware of increasing deviations of the actual condition of the Contractual Products from the desired condition (deterioration in quality), they shall inform B&R about the extent and planned remedial measures without undue delay. Until these remedial measures take effect, the Ordering Party may demand specific actions (e.g. higher

inspection frequency). The Contractor shall bear the costs of the additional expenses hereby incurred, provided there is no evidence of the Ordering Party’s causing the deterioration in quality.

5.4. The Contractor shall ensure, by means of an appropriate labeling of the Contractual Products (e.g. manufacturer’s label, manufacturing date, manufacturing place) or - if that is not possible - by appropriate further measures, that when a defect or fault is detected or occurs, the Contractual Products actually or possibly affected can be detected immediately and purposefully. The Contractor shall inform B&R in advance of their relevant system in a way that B&R is able to carry out their own measures to the necessary extent, if needed. Schedule 3 defines how the Contractual Products shall be labeled.

5.5. When quoting, eventual deviations from the specifications shall be stated explicitly and the responsible B&R purchasing agent shall be notified in writing about them. Any and all deviations shall be approved of in writing by B&R prior to the start of delivery.

5.6. Should the Contractor detect deviations of single delivery lots prior to shipment, they shall notify the responsible B&R purchasing agent in writing of that prior to delivery as well. The Contractor shall document B&R’s written decision on the usability including the description of the deviation and the respective delivery lot.

6. Receiving inspections and testing by B&R

6.1. Pursuant to the present QA Agreement, solely the Contractor or a third Party the Contractor charges shall conduct the necessary inspections. In their acceptance, B&R will therefore solely check product identity and any transport damage that can clearly be seen externally at the packaging as well as comparing the delivered with the ordered quantities. Schedule 4 specifies any further B&R test steps and/or obligations regarding the receipt, inspection or any further treatment of deliverables after their delivery, this regulation being exhaustive (positive list).

6.2. The Contractor shall be notified of deviations from point 6.1 pursuant to the contractual arrangements. If damages or defects are recognized later on, the Contractor shall be notified as well pursuant to the contractual arrangements. In the absence of contractual arrangements, B&R shall notify the Contractor as soon as possible about damages or defects, as soon as B&R discovers them under the circumstances prevailing in the due course of business. In this regard, the Contractor waives the claim of late notices of defect.

6.3. Besides the above mentioned inspections and notifications, B&R has no further obligations to the Contractor.

7. Handling of defects and non-conformity by the Contractor

When detecting defects and/or non-conformity (even if only during handling/processing), B&R shall notify the Contractor as fast as possible. Immediately after receiving the notice of defect, the Contractor shall contact the responsible B&R purchasing agent to organize substitute deliveries and/or a supply free from defect. Furthermore, the Contractor shall comment on the notice of defect in writing within [***] working days. In this first comment, the Contractor shall make known how long the analysis and corrective measures will take. Error analysis and corrective measures shall be submitted electronically in form of an 8D report saved as PDF.

8. Packaging and transport

The Contractor chooses the packaging of the deliverables in such a way that B&R receives them without impairment and can store them properly in the delivery packaging. Further packaging specifications are set forth in Schedule 4.

9. Labeling of deliveries

Deliveries shall contain at least the following labeling:

The labeling is set down in Schedule 3.

10. Quality assessment and quality objectives

Quality assessment and objectives are set forth in the framework supply agreement B&R and the Contractor have entered into.

11. Schedules

All schedules to this Agreement form integrant parts of the Agreement. In case of a conflict, this Agreement has priority over the schedules.

12, Quality assurance representative

Contractor and B&R shall designate in writing a quality assurance representative who will perform and/or coordinate the supervision and execution of this Agreement. The quality assurance representative is authorized to receive all declarations concerning the execution of this Agreement. The Parties to the Agreement shall give notice to each other of the substitution of a representative in writing without undue delay.

The designated quality assurance representatives to this Agreement are as follows:

By the Contractor:	Xx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx	Tel: +49 (0) 991 / 0000 000
		Mail: xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx

By B&R:	[***]	Tel: [***]
		Mail: [***]

13. Deliveries

13.1. By entering into and executing this Agreement, the Contractor shall have no claim for being placed with orders.

14. Arbitral tribunal

All disputes arising in connection with the present Agreement or over its validity shall be finally settled under the Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (Paris) by an arbitrator appointed in accordance with the said rules. The court of arbitration has its seat in A-Vienna. The law of procedure of this place supplements the Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration. The arbitration language is German.

15. Applicable law

All disputes arising under the present Agreement or over its validity shall be settled under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, apart from that under exclusive Austrian law, without the right to refer to other laws and to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

16. Miscellaneous

16.1. Any and all changes or amendments to this Agreement shall be made in writing to be effective.

16.2. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, neither the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be affected nor the validity of the agreements entered into while executing an invalid provision. The Parties to the Agreement shall work together on a partnership basis to find an arrangement coming as close as legally possible to the commercial purpose of the invalid provision.

16.3. All declarations the Parties to the Agreement make while executing the present Agreement shall be made in German.
