Competitiveness



In furtherance of Section 1.5 of this Agreement, in the event that Customer is given in writing an
arms length, bonafide offer from an independent third party (i.e. not an Affiliate of Customer
and/or any Affiliate of Customer, or the Customer Affiliates) supplier capable of fulfilling orders
for the quantities described in clause (A), (B), or (C), as applicable, to purchase (A) [***], (B)
[***], and/or (C) [***] and, in the case of each of (A), (B), and (C), Customer has qualified such
other supplier’s product as production ready for such quantities and, to the extent that Customer’s
customers require [***] for such product, such product is [***], as applicable (to the extent that
the Product to which such alternative is being compared is itself [***], as applicable), then
Customer shall provide written notice of all of the material financial and other relevant terms
(including, without limitation, the duration of such offer) (the “Offer Notice”) to Supplier. The
Offer Notice shall be provided regardless of whether the product offered by the third party
supplier is [***]. Nothing herein shall require Customer to divulge the name of the third party
making the offer. The Offer Notice will include certification by an authorized officer of Customer
as to the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing, and that the Offer Notice is capable of being
accepted for at least [***] days after the Offer Notice is provided to Supplier. Supplier shall
have the opportunity, exercisable within [***] days after Supplier’s receipt of the Offer Notice,
to meet the terms set forth in the Offer Notice for the relevant product for the period stated in
the Offer Notice. In the event that Supplier does not agree to meet the terms set forth in the
Offer Notice within such [***] day period, Customer may then accept such offer from such other
supplier on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, without any modification and any products
purchased by Customer pursuant to such offer shall be credited toward Customer’s Minimum Purchase
Commitment to the same extent as if purchased from Supplier; provided that if at any time
thereafter any material modifications are made to the terms set forth in the Offer Notice which
entitled Customer under clause (A), (B), or (C) to provide the Offer Notice or if Customer does not
purchase any products from such other supplier on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice within
[***] days from the last date on which Supplier was permitted to deliver an acceptance of such
Offer Notice hereunder, the Customer shall again be required to submit a new Offer Notice with
respect thereto prior to being permitted to receive any credit for such products purchased from the
third party supplier.



Periodic Review of Prices



Starting no later than [***], and no later than the end of each [***] period thereafter during the
term of this Agreement, Supplier and Customer shall review the prices set forth in this Exhibit to
determine what adjustments, if any, are appropriate in light of the conditions then prevailing in
the market for Customer’s products. Supplier and Customer shall negotiate any such adjustments in
good faith, but neither party shall have an obligation to agree to such adjustments.
