(a)Supplier warrants that it has the right to manufacture and convey the Product and that each Product will be free from all liens and encumbrances (including free from any claim that such Product infringes any third party’s intellectual property rights), defects in material, workmanship and design and will function in accordance with and will conform to the Specifications for a period of [***]from shipment of such Product manufactured at Suppliers authorized facilities to the Buyer (“Warranty Period”). The warranty period can be extended to up of [***], prior to the expiration of the original warranty. 

 

(b)Buyer or Buyer’s customer shall ship the purported non-conforming Product to the Supplier authorized repair facilities as listed in Appendix E at the Buyer’s expense. Purported non-conforming product shipped to any other authorized or non-authorized repair facility is the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

(c)Supplier’s additional warranty terms can be found at www.onestopsystems.com and are incorporated into this agreement in its entirety and as updated from time to time insofar as they do not limit the scope of the warranties contained in this Agreement.  EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SUPPLIER DOES NOT MAKE AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

2.Inspection and Acceptance.

 

(a)Supplier shall inspect all Products before shipment to ensure conformance with the Supplier’s applicable warranty provisions.  In the event that Supplier’s conformance level falls below [***] due to issues for which Supplier is responsible, for Products delivered during any consecutive three (3) month period, as measured by taking all failures over the last 90 days on all products shipped in the last 90 days. Supplier will provide a corrective action plan within ten (10) business days of Buyer notifying Supplier of such non-conformance.  If the Supplier’s corrective action plan does not improve Supplier’s conformance level to [***]or better during the next 90 days following the implementation of the Supplier’s corrective action plan, Supplier shall be deemed to be in material breach of this Agreement in accordance with Section C clause 5 of this Agreement and the provisions of Section C clause 5 shall apply. Without prejudice to the forgoing, if the Supplier’s corrective action plan does not improve Supplier’s conformance level to [***] or better during the next 90 days following the implementation of the Supplier’s corrective action plan, Buyer may adjust the deliveries of existing orders until Supplier once again achieves a [***] conformance level for a consecutive 90 day period.

Buyer may return Products which fail to meet the Specifications by first contacting the Supplier for a valid Return Materials Authorization (“RMA”) number that shall appear on any and all paperwork, packing lists, air-bills, etc. pertaining to such shipment returned to Supplier.  Supplier reserves the right to reject any shipment of returned Product that does not contain a valid RMA number.  Supplier shall either repair or replace (at Supplier’s discretion) any such Products returned to Suppler and Supplier shall return such repaired or replacement Product to Buyer or to Buyer’s customer at Supplier’s cost (for shipping) within [***]of Supplier’s receipt of such Products at its facility.

 

(c)Supplier shall provide, within [***] of Buyer’s request and in a mutually agreed upon format, the failure analysis and closed loop corrective action for each Product or group of Products with identical failures and corrective actions.  The Supplier shall reserve the right to charge the Buyer a minimum of one (1) production hour per Product that is returned for repair and for which the failure analysis is “No Fault Found” (“NFF”).  It is the intent of the Supplier to work with the Buyer to fashion a minimum test suite to be used by the Buyer before returning product to minimize NFF reports.

•
	
[***].





	
 
	
•
	
[***].





	
 
	
•
	
The Supplier may use different SG&A and/or Profit Rates for System Products in the Price List but if these rates are above the base rates in this section (as adjusted for the agreed percentage point reductions), the Exclusive Manufacturing Rights and the Minimum Business Commitments shall automatically no longer apply. 





	
 
	
•
	
Purchase Orders in place prior to a new Pricing Period will not be repriced. 





	
 
	
•
	
Purchase Orders in place prior to the Effective Date will not be repriced.

The gross amounts that SG&A and/or Profit Rates percentages are measured against shall not include sales taxes or any other similar type of taxes. 





	
 
	
•
	
All other pricing based on quantity discounts beyond the [***] pieces is valid only for Purchase Orders placed by the Buyer to the Supplier on the same day for scheduled delivery over the immediate 12 month period following the date of the Purchase Order unless agreed otherwise by mutual agreement of both Parties.  




 


	
 
	
•
	
The price list can be updated between Pricing Periods to reflect a new volume of an expected order or if a new product is introduced between Pricing Products. 





	
 
	
•
	
From time to time Buyer may ask the Supplier for material to be pipelined to cover longer lead time needs.  Any goods purchased on behalf of Buyer at their request will be Buyers liability.  If the program is terminated, or the material is not used within one (1) year of receipt of the pipelined items, Supplier may invoice the Buyer for the material.  Buyer shall not be liable for surplus material if Supplier failed to use the pipelined material in respect of purchase orders during that time. 





	
 
	
•
	
Material cost is calculated as the average cost for items in stock and may not entirely reflect the last price paid for an item.

•

o
	
Production labor is defined as production activities including, but not limited to, pull, kit, build, test, and any special request performed by Supplier production employees.

*  This figure shall be subject to the percentage point reductions as fully described above

 


	
 
	
•
	
Based on the Price List in this section and the minimum business level without incurring Price adjustments of ten million ($10,000,000) USD per year, escalating by one million ($1,000,000) per year over the 5 year term of this agreement the approximate expected value of this agreement is sixty million ($60,000,000) USD. The approximate expected value and term of the agreement does not guarantee current or future business that will be transacted under this agreement between the Buyer and the Supplier. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer shall not be liable to the Supplier or any other party for any loss or damages or any other remedy pursuant to this agreement which is measured by way of reference to this proposed valuation. The Buyer shall place all purchase orders and exercise all options under this agreement per the terms outlined herein.
