2.     RESPONSIBILITIES OF SUPPLIER Supplier will (i) furnish Distributor with current price and
product information via email in mutually agreed upon format together with all available component
parametric information including, but not limited to, part description, active status, and all key
performance attributes, as may be necessary and in a manner that will allow Distributor to supply
such information to Distributor’s customers; and (ii) ensure that the products, as manufactured and
sold to Distributor, fully comply with all applicable laws, standards, codes and regulations.




3.     REPORTS AND AUDITS



Distributor Reports Distributor will send to Supplier, in a mutually agreeable format, (i) a stock
status report showing the month-end on-hand quantities of products by device type and warehouse
location no later than the 2nd working day after the end of each month and (ii) a point of sale
report showing product sales for the month by device type, customer, and sale price, for the
products and sales covered by the applicable Territory Term Sheet. No more than twice during any
year, upon reasonable prior notice, Supplier may (i) conduct a physical inventory count of products
in any stocking location (or, in automated facilities, observe cycle counts and related
methodology) or (ii) audit such business records, located at Distributor’s corporate headquarters,
as pertain solely to the purchase of products hereunder during any such year.




4.     ORDERS; DELIVERY; RESCHEDULING; CANCELLATION




        a.     Orders, Rescheduling and Cancellation Supplier will acknowledge each Distributor purchase
order, in writing, within five working days of receipt thereof and will confirm the requested
shipment date or specify an alternative shipment date (“Acknowledged Shipment Date”). Unless PO is
specifically stated as non-cancellable PO, distributor may, on at least thirty (30) days prior with
written notice, cancel any order without cost or penalty. Distributor may, on at least fifteen (15)
days prior written notice reschedule the Acknowledged Shipment Date of any order without cost or
penalty. The rescheduled shipment date cannot be more than 60 days from the first original

of the products unless Distributor notifies Supplier that the products are defective or do not
conform to the Supplier’s applicable warranty, the terms of this Agreement, or Distributor’s order.
Distributor will use its reasonable best efforts to provide such notice within 7 days of its
receipt of the products.


5.     PRICES The prices for products will be as set forth by Suppliers. From time to time, when
agreed upon by Supplier, Distributor may sell products to its customer at below the Distributor’s
cost. In such case, Supplier will provide a rebate to Distributor that will cover the delta between
Distributor’s buying cost and selling price plus the appropriate margin.




        a.     Price Increases Prior to the effective date of a price increase, Distributor may order
products, requesting delivery within thirty days, at the prior (i.e., lower) price. Products
shipped under orders submitted by Distributor prior to the effective date of any price increase
will be shipped and invoiced at the price in effect at the time of order placement. Typically,
supplier will inform, via written notice, email, or fax, distributor of any price increase 30 days
before effective day.



        b.     Price Decreases In the event Supplier decreases the price of any product, Distributor will
receive a credit equal to the difference between the price paid for the product by Distributor
(less any prior credits taken by Distributor on such product) and the new decreased price for the
product multiplied by the quantity of such product in Distributor’s inventory that were purchased
within the last six months, or in transit to Distributor, on the effective date of the decrease.
Distributor will submit to Supplier, within five days following the later of the effective date of
such price decrease or the date Distributor actually receives notice thereof, a list of the
products upon which such credit is due. All products shipped after the effective date of any price
decrease will be shipped and invoiced at the price in effect at the time of shipment.

under its warranty. Supplier will, at Distributor’s election, issue to Distributor a credit equal

elsewhere in this Agreement, Supplier will indemnify Distributor against, and hold it harmless
from, any cost, loss, damage or liability (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from or
related to Supplier’s conduct or the failure, or alleged failure, of the products, as manufactured
and sold to Distributor, to fully comply with all applicable laws, standards, codes, specifications
and regulations or to be suitable for resale or other distribution by Distributor as contemplated
by this Agreement. All warranty and indemnification provisions of this Agreement will survive the

business. Under no circumstances will either party have the right or authority to act or make any
commitment on behalf of or bind the other or represent the other as its agent in any way.

        a.     EXCEPT FOR PERSONAL INJURY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF

Distributor’s ability to limit its liability with its customers. For example, certain non-U.S.
jurisdictions may not enforce a waiver of special, incidental or consequential damages, or a
disclaimer of implied warranties. In the sale of Products, Distributor will use commercially
reasonable efforts to establish contracts with all its customers that achieve enforceability of

terms of this Agreement and those of any order, quotation, acknowledgment or other communication
from one party to the other, the terms of this Agreement will be controlling.

party against which the enforcement of the change is sought.



        c.     Governing Law This Agreement is made in, governed by, and will be construed solely in
accordance with, the laws of Hong Kong.



        d.     Reformation In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability will attach only to such
provision and will not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this
Agreement. Any such provision may be reformed by a court of competent jurisdiction so as to render
the same valid or enforceable while most nearly effectuating the intent of the parties.



        e.     Assignment Neither party has the right to assign this Agreement in whole or in part without the
prior written consent of the other except to another corporation wholly-owned by or under common
control with it. For purposes hereof, an assignment includes, without limitation, a merger, sale of
assets or business, or other transfer of control by operation of law or otherwise.
