Attachment D
Order Flexibility Terms
(i)For any accepted Order or Forecast, Customer may request an increase in the quantity of Products ordered or forecast.  Manufacturer shall use reasonable commercial efforts to meet any allowed Product quantity increases, which are subject to Materials and capacity availability.  If Manufacturer agrees to such increase in the quantity, and if there are extra costs to meet such increase, Manufacturer will get approval from Customer for the extra cost and Customer shall be liable for such extra costs.
(ii)    For any accepted Order, Customer may request a push-out (“Reschedule”) of the expected delivery date.  Customer may Reschedule all or part of a scheduled delivery (per Order or Forecast) [*****] in accordance with the table below.  No reschedules will be allowed after Manufacturer has begun manufacturing (WIP).  Additional requests for Reschedules, require Manufacturer’s approval, which, in its sole discretion, may or may not be granted.  If Manufacturer agrees to accept a Reschedule of any length of time, and if there are extra costs to meet such Reschedule, then Customer shall be liable for such extra costs.  Any part of an Order quantity that is Rescheduled may not be subsequently rescheduled.  Any Reschedule not consented to by Manufacturer or that otherwise does not satisfy the requirements of this subsection (ii) shall be treated as a cancellation, for which Customer shall be liable for the full Order value of the Products stated therein.
(iii)    Customer should have a right to change the Product mix of the build as long as the build has not started (Work order or kit has not scheduled to pull).  Any excess or obsolete Material that impacted due to this change will be handled via the Excess&Obsolete process according to Attachment C.  [*****].
(iv)    Any delays in the normal production or interruption in the workflow process caused by Customer’s changes to the Specifications or failure to provide sufficient quantities or a reasonable quality level of Customer Controlled Materials where applicable to sustain the production schedule, shall be considered a Reschedule of any affected Orders for purposes of this Section for the period of such delay.
