 This Distribution Agreement (this “Agreement”), is entered into effective as of February 17, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), between Raven Industries, Inc., a South Dakota Corporation with its principal place of business located at 205 E. 6th Street, Sioux Falls, SD 57104 (“Raven”), and AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., a company duly incorporated under the laws of Nevada, with offices at 117 S. 4th Street, Neodesha, KS 66757 (“AgEagle”).  Raven and AgEagle are hereafter individually referred to as the “Party” and jointly as the “Parties.” 


 


 WHEREAS, Raven is engaged in research, design, development, engineering, manufacturing, integration, sales and support of technology and products for precision agriculture; and 


 


 WHEREAS, AgEagle is engaged in research, design, development, engineering, manufacturing, integration, sales and support of systems and products for aerial collection of data for precision agriculture, including, but not limited to the AgEagle System and any Future AgEagle System, only to the extent it is applicable to this Agreement by the terms contained herein, (collectively “Products”) ; and 


 


 WHEREAS, the Parties wish to grow their existing markets and to expand into new and emerging markets that build on their core competencies; and 


 


 WHEREAS, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) is expected to finalize rules for commercial use of unmanned aerial systems by June 2016; and 


 


 WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth an exclusive relationship for the sale, marketing and distribution of AgEagle’s fixed wing precision agricultural unmanned aerial system (the “AgEagle System”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 


 


 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 


 



	
 1. 

	
 Distribution Grant; Exclusivity. 







 



 1.1           Exclusive Appointment.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, AgEagle hereby appoints Raven as its sole and exclusive distributor worldwide (the “Territory”), of the AgEagle System during the Term of this Agreement in the field of agriculture, including but not limited to turf maintenance, spot specific crop and land management, horticulture, botany and the science, research and development of seeds, soil, fertilizer and other agricultural products (the “Field”).  In furtherance thereof, except as set forth in this Agreement, AgEagle will not sell, directly or indirectly, the AgEagle System to any person or entity and shall refer any inquiries it receives for the AgEagle System for use in the Territory in the Field to Raven.  Raven will purchase the Products from AgEagle and resell them in Raven’s own name and for its own account. AgEagle acknowledges and agrees that Raven shall have the right, but not the obligation, to establish one or more dealers, sub-distributors or other third party sellers of the AgEagle System in the Territory for use in the Field. 




 



 1.2           Exclusive Worldwide Distributor.  As a condition precedent to this Agreement, AgEagle MUST, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, no longer sell and/or supply the Products to any dealer, distributor, Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), or any other entity, of any type, other than Raven.   All dealers and/or distributors of AgEagle prior to and up to this Agreement, MUST either cease to be dealers/distributors of AgEagle, or agree to be dealers/distributors of Raven.  Specifically, it is a condition precedent to the duties and obligation owed by Raven under this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, entered into by and between the Parties, on or about February 2016 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) that the subsequent conditions are met: 




 




    





 











    


 [CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED BASED UPON A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. AN UNREDACTED VERSION OF THIS DOCUMENT HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDED TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 








               









	   	
 1.2.1.  

	
 Prior to, or within ten (10) days of the execution of this Agreement, AgEagle must provide written proof that it has fully terminated exclusivity, and/or any other written or oral distribution or dealer agreements with any of its existing, or future contemplated, dealers and/or distributors, including, but not limited to any and all dealers and/or distributors in Australia and Canada, who previously had exclusive agreements.  This proof shall also include notification that in order for the Australian and Canadian dealers to remain dealers of the Products they must become dealers of Raven. Proof of termination, as provided herein, must be provided in a verifiable writing, within the time period noted above. 











 





	   	
 1.2.2.  

	
 That AgEagle’s existing distributors, including those in Australia and Canada, agree to become dealers of Raven, or otherwise cease sales of the AgEagle System; and 











 





	   	
 1.2.3.  

	
  That during the Term of this Agreement, Raven shall be the ONLY distributor of the AgEagle Systems in the Territory, pursuant to the restriction provided herein. 











 


 If the foregoing terms are not satisfied, this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, are null and void and Raven shall owe no duties or obligations under this Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement, and AgEagle shall retain no rights thereunder.  Additionally, if the conditions precedent are not met, AgEagle must pay back any and all sums paid to it either in advance or during the Term of the Stock Purchase Agreement or this Agreement. 


 



 1.3           AgEagle System Exclusivity.  Raven agrees that during the Term of this Agreement, it will market and sell the AgEagle System as Raven’s exclusive product offering for fixed wing agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles, subject to the terms and conditions provided herein. 




 



 1.4           Future AgEagle Systems.  AgEagle may design and manufacture multicopter, rotor wing and unmanned aerial spraying systems (“Future AgEagle System”) subsequent to the Effective Date.  AgEagle must notify Raven of any development of Future AgEagle Systems.  Raven agrees that once notified by AgEagle of the development of any Future AgEagle System, Raven will first seek to purchase such Future AgEagle System from AgEagle before purchasing a directly competitive system from any third party, provided, however, that the purchase price for the Future AgEagle System is competitive.  The decision and timing to purchase any such Future AgEagle System shall be determined by Raven, in its sole and absolute discretion. 




 



	   	
 1.5 

	
 First Right of Refusal. 







 




	   	
 1.5.1.  

	
 Future Product Distribution Rights.  AgEagle agrees that Raven shall have the first right of refusal to be the exclusive or non-exclusive distributor in the Territory of any Future AgEagle System in the Field.  If AgEagle desires to appoint a dealer, distributor or any third party to sell any or all of the Future AgEagle System or other Products, either current or future, AgEagle shall notify Raven and Raven shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be the exclusive distributor or a non-exclusive distributor in the Territory of the Future AgEagle System in the Field.  If Raven desires to be the exclusive distributor of any such Future AgEagle System or other AgEagle Product, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of such distribution agreements, including any minimum quantities, territories and other provisions.  Any agreement for Raven to be a distributor of any Future AgEagle System of other AgEagle Products will be set forth in a new agreement or an amendment to this Agreement, executed by the authorized representatives of the Parties.

 [CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED BASED UPON A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. AN UNREDACTED VERSION OF THIS DOCUMENT HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDED TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 








                        






	
    

	
 1.5.2. 

	
 Controlled Technology Release.  The Parties will use reasonable efforts so that the AgEagle System components,  features and additional add-ons thereto (the “System Products”) introduced after the execution of this Agreement and which are intended to become, or become System Products sold to Raven, under this Agreement, may be introduced by Raven as System Products private-labeled under the Raven brand prior to such System Products being introduced by AgEagle or any other distributor of AgEagle, and the terms of such introduction shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. 







 



 1.6           AgEagle Distribution Rights.  The parties further agree that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the right of AgEagle to sell, and to appoint dealers, distributors and other third party sellers to sell (a) the AgEagle System and/or System Products for uses in fields other than the Field, as defined herein, and (b) Future AgEagle Systems and other products manufactured by AgEagle, only to the extent the Parties have agreed that Raven is not an exclusive distributor for the Future AgEagle System and/or other Products, current or future. 




 


 2.             Testing/demonstration Systems.           AgEagle will supply Raven with eight (8) AgEagle Systems for demonstration, marketing, testing, product validation, and any other purposes Raven determines, on or before March 1, 2016, at no current or future cost to Raven.  One (1) or two (2) of the eight (8) AgEagle Systems provided hereunder shall be delivered to Raven as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Agreement.  Raven shall retain permanent ownership rights to the eight (8) AgEagle systems.  Raven will validate these eight (8) systems through use of standards and parameters to be agreed upon by both Parties in writing prior to delivery (“Standards”).  If AgEagle’s System does not meet the applicable Standards, Raven shall give AgEagle notice of failure to meet such Standards, and AgEagle shall have ten (10) business days to either cure all deficiencies identified, or propose a plan, which must be agreed to by the Parties in writing, to cure all deficiencies identified, if such deficiencies cannot be cured within ten (10) business days.  Raven shall have the right to reasonably accept or reject the proposed plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if AgEagle’s failure to meet the Standards, delays the distribution of the AgEagle Systems, in any way, then Minimum Sales Amounts and/or Purchase Periods, as identified in Section 3 shall be adjusted accordingly. 


 


 3.             Purchasing Minimums. 


 


 3.1           Minimum Sales by Purchase Period.     Subject to the terms provided herein, Raven agrees to use commercially reasonable methods to purchase the Minimum Sales Amounts of Products as set forth below: 








	
 Purchase Period 

	
 Purchase Period Dates 

	
 Minimum Sales Amounts 


	
 1 

	

 February 1, 2016 - January 31, 2017 



	
 $[xxx]USD

 February 1, 2016 - January 31, 2018

 [CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED BASED UPON A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. AN UNREDACTED VERSION OF THIS DOCUMENT HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDED TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 








                               








 Minimum Sales Amounts, as used herein, shall include the purchase price paid by Raven to AgEagle; such amounts include all amounts paid by Raven to AgEagle, all credits, and other similar amounts credited to Raven or to Raven’s account by AgEagle, as if such amounts were actually paid to AgEagle (“Sales Amount”).For the avoidance of doubt, the Minimum Sales Amount for Purchase Period 2, as identified in the chart above, is the cumulative amount of $[xxx]USD. Therefore, all amounts purchased from February 1, 2016 - January 31, 2017 (Purchase Period 1), shall be counted towards Purchase Period 1, as well as the following Purchase Period of February 1, 2016 - January 31, 2018 (Purchase Period 2).  For the remaining Initial Term of the Agreement and any subsequent Renewal Term, the Parties will work together in good faith to agree upon, in writing, mutually acceptable minimum sales amounts or quantities for the subsequent calendar year, by December 1st of the preceding calendar year, starting November 1, 2017.  For the avoidance of doubt, Purchase Period 3 (February 1, 2018-January 31, 2019), shall have Minimum Sales Amounts, agreed upon by the Parties in writing, by December 1, 2017. 


 


 3.2           Minimum Sales Amounts Shortfall.     In the event Raven is unable to purchase the Minimum Sales Amounts as set forth herein, the Parties will work together to determine ways to increase sales.  In no event shall failure to meet the Minimum Sales Amounts result in a default hereunder or termination of exclusivity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in any given Purchase Period the actual Sales Amounts purchased by Raven are [xxx]% or more, less than the Minimum Sales Amounts, as provided herein, then as soon as it becomes apparent to Raven the actual sales will be [xxx]% or more, less than the Minimum Sales Amounts, Raven shall inform AgEagle of such an event.  Upon notification by Raven of the anticipated [xxx]% shortfall AgEagle agrees to meet with Raven, in good faith, to determine if there is a way for Raven to maintain exclusivity.  If, in good faith, AgEagle is unable to reach an amicable solution with Raven and the Minimum Sales Amounts are actually [xxx]% or more, less than the above Minimum Sales Amounts, AgEagle shall have the right to terminate the exclusivity provisions of this Agreement, upon ninety (90) days’ written notice to Raven. 


 


 3.3           Condition Precedent to Minimum Sales Requirements.  It is a condition precedent to Raven’s duties and obligations under this Section that the FAA rules allow for commercial use of the AgEagle System, and other similar aerial systems for the aerial  collection of data in the Field, and that Raven and/or AgEagle, as applicable, is able to obtain any exemptions, certifications or licenses required thereunder, if any. 


 


 3.4           Minimum Sales Amounts Adjustment; Delay. 


 




	   	
 3.4.1. 

	
 FAA Approval/Certification Adjustment.        If FAA, exemption, certification, or other approval is required for sale of the AgEagle System, once such certification, is obtained by Raven and/or AgEagle, as required, and AgEagle has met all requirements and/or specifications required by the FAA, if any, Raven and AgEagle will work in good faith to adjust the Minimum Sales Amounts to align with the FAA approval, requirement, and/or certification dates, if such dates had an impact on the ability to sell the AgEagle System.  If the Parties are unable to come to mutually agreeable adjusted Minimum Sales Amounts, or if Raven is unable to sell the AgEagle system for the aerial collection of data in the Field, due to FAA ruling, or inability to obtain required FAA approvals, licenses, exemptions, or certifications, by October 1, 2016, Raven may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement upon giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to AgEagle.  During the thirty (30) day notice period the Parties will work together in good faith to renegotiate a new Agreement based on the landscape of potential AgEagle System approval by the FAA.

 3.4.2. 

	
 AgEagle Delay Adjustment.    Any delays in distribution and/or sales attributable to AgEagle or an AgEagle agent or supplier, shall result in the Purchase Periods or Minimum Sales Amounts to be adjusted accordingly.

 4.1           Purchase Orders.  During the Term, Raven may purchase the AgEagle System by submitting a Purchase Order on Raven’s form (“Purchase Order”).  No later than three (3) business days after receipt of a Purchase Order from Raven, AgEagle shall either accept or reject the Purchase Order, any Purchase Order not rejected within three (3) business days shall be deemed accepted.  In addition to identification of the products ordered, the Purchase Order shall specify the delivery date for the products and the shipping destination and terms.

 4.2           Forecasts.  To assist AgEagle, but without binding Raven in any manner, Raven may, in its sole discretion, also deliver forecasts or planning orders to AgEagle.  All forecasts, planning orders or similar types of information provided by Raven are not and shall not be considered as binding or firm orders in any manner.  All such forecasts, planning schedules or similar types of information provided by Raven to AgEagle are for planning purposes only and shall not create nor imply a firm or binding obligation of Raven to purchase any of the forecasted, planned or projected volumes provided therein.

If AgEagle must schedule a shipment for some reason, AgEagle agrees to get preapproval from Raven on the logistics for all shipments for which transportation charges are to be paid by Raven including any transportation charges that are added to the invoice as Prepaid & Add.  Failure to follow this policy will result in AgEagle being responsible to pay all freight charges and any other associated penalties or fees incurred. 


 


 4.7           Returns.  Raven is allowed to return up to 10% of annual sales volume. Returns to be scheduled with Raven on a monthly basis and will be subject to a 10% re-stocking fee.

If circumstances arise that prevent AgEagle from the timely manufacture, shipment and/or delivery of the products, pursuant to an accepted Purchase Order, AgEagle shall immediately notify Raven of the nature of the problem, the methods taken to overcome the problem and the estimated period of delay.  AgEagle shall have a reasonable period of time to cure such delay, which shall be determined based on the nature of the delay and needs of Raven.  If it is commercially reasonable for Raven to request expedited shipment upon a delay, due to identifiable needs, AgEagle shall expedite the shipment of the product in any manner which is commercially reasonable, and shall pay all costs associated with expedited shipping for the products, above normal shipping costs. 


 


 4.9           Packaging/Marking.  All products shall be properly packaged to prevent damage or deterioration and to obtain the lowest transportation rates, when paid by Raven.

 Introduction 





 Raven Industries, Applied Technology Division, is a manufacturer of precision agriculture products.  Since 1978, Applied Technology Division (ATD) has been supplying precision agriculture products and information management tools that reduce costs, save time and improve crop yields to feed a growing world population. 




 



 Mission:  




 



 To help farmers feed the world. 




 



 Our Vision:  




 



 To become the premier global full line precision Ag technology solutions provider. 




 



 Quality Policy: 




 



	   	
 1: 

	
 “Say what you do” 







 



	
    

	
 Create documentation needed to define and ensure consistency in our approach to projects, production, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.  Keep it SIMPLE! 







 



	   	
 2: 

	
 “Do what you say” 







 



	
    

	
 This is simply executing to what we say we are going to do and following through on our word, written commitments, and documentation. 







 



	   	
 3: 

	
 “Make it better every day” 







 



	
    

	
 We have to continuously challenge our approaches, measure our outcomes, look for better ways to meet our goals and stay consistent in our methods to ensure we provide the best quality product and service to our customers.  We need to work together to find better ways, document those changes and train others on what the changes mean to them and their daily processes.  We are all connected and have to understand how each of us affects each other and ultimately our customer. 







 



 Applied Technology Division expects our suppliers to provide materials, parts, assemblies and services that meet our engineering requirements with a minimum of variation.  In addition these products and services must be delivered on time and be cost effective. 




 



 Our continued success hinges on close partnerships with suppliers who stay current with technology and competitive solutions and who will partner with ATD to improve designs and cost efficiency.  We are committed to working with and rewarding suppliers who focus on planning for non-conformance prevention; rather than costly inspection to prevent production, quality and warranty issues.

This manual along with ISO 9001 or TS 16949 supplements the purchasing terms and conditions.

 Raven ATD expects suppliers to maintain an effective Quality Management System (QMS) that assures conformity and compliance to requirements, and leads to continual improvement of processes, items, costs, and customer satisfaction.  The QMS shall, at a minimum, meet the current requirements of ISO 9001.  Raven ATD recognizes evidence of compliance through audit by an accredited third-party and certification to the current revision of one or more of the following, as applicable: 







 



	
    

	
 • 

	
 ISO 9001 – Quality Management System Requirements 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 AS/EN/JISQ9100 – Quality Management Systems - Aerospace 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 ISO/TS 16949 – Quality Management Systems (Automotive, Truck and Heavy Equipment) 








	
    

	
 •

 Suppliers without accredited certification to one of the above, or other approved standard, may be utilized upon acceptance of evidence of compliance.  This may include Raven ATD audit or self-assessment of the supplier to the applicable standard listed above, or assessment to the criteria in the Raven Supplier Assessment Checklist. 







 



	
    

	
 Upon request, the supplier will provide Raven ATD with a copy of their supplier Quality Management System Manual, or equivalent document, and a copy of the supplier’s organizational chart.  The documentation shall include the supplier’s quality policy, quality objectives, and a description of the interactions between the processes of the quality management system (QMS).  The quality objectives and those measurements addressing customer satisfaction shall be endorsed by the supplier’s Top Management. 







 



	
    

	
 The supplier is expected to notify Raven ATD of any substantive changes to their QMS or personnel. 







 



	
 2. 

	
 Supplier Evaluation and Approval 







 



	
    

	
 Raven ATD evaluates suppliers of productive items, and associated products and services to assure each supplier is capable of meeting expectations.  Suppliers must be approved by Raven ATD, regardless of approvals by other divisions of Raven Industries, customers, or other entities. 







 



	
    

	
 Initial assessment of suppliers is done using supplier survey and a request of the supplier’s QMS certification.  The supplier’s financial strength and business management will be reviewed by Raven Purchasing. 







 



	
    

	
 In some cases, suppliers with a QMS certified through an accredited certification body to one of the standards above may be approved with no further documentation.  Suppliers without accredited QMS certification and suppliers for critical or complex items or services will receive request for additional supplier self-assessment or on-site assessment by Raven Supplier Quality.  The assessment identifies the supplier’s capability to support Raven ATD by having documented, effective systems in place to meet expectations.  The assessment may include evaluation of supplier’s ability to meet certain applicable regulatory or industry standards, e.g. RoHS, UL, CE Mark, ANSI/ESD 20.20, ASME BPVC Sec IX, etc. 







 



	
    

	
 Approved suppliers will be added to Raven ATD approved supplier list.  They will be classified by type of item or service provided.  Approved suppliers will be subject to ongoing evaluation by Raven Supplier Quality.  Performance of approved suppliers is taken into account when awarding additional business.

 Raven ATD performs ongoing evaluation of suppliers against performance to delivery, quality, and responsiveness.  Raven ATD also performs periodic assessments of suppliers to assure the quality management systems remain effective. 







 



	
    

	
 Assessments and evaluations may result in findings.  Those will be addressed through supplier corrective action requests.  Suppliers that meet and exceed expectations will be preferred for new business opportunities. 







 



	
 4. 

	
 Supplier Production Part Approval Process 







 



	
    

	
 Raven ATD uses a production part approval process to confirm the supplier understands the design specifications and has a process capable of meeting design and production requirements during an actual production run.  Design requirements are communicated through the use of Raven ATD engineering drawings and specifications, PO requirements, and industry standards.  In the case of conflict Raven ATD engineering drawings and specifications take precedence, followed by PO requirements, followed by industry standards. 







 



	
    

	
 PPAP approval requirements vary based upon the quality planning level, QPL, assigned to each part.  QPL levels range from QPL0, production part approval not required, to QPL4, all production part approval elements required.

 [CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED BASED UPON A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. AN UNREDACTED VERSION OF THIS DOCUMENT HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDED TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 






 



	
    

	
 The QPL is based upon factors such as: 







 



	
    

	
 • 

	
 Part criticality 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 Upper assembly criticality 







 



	
    

	
 Specific requirements and instructions will be communicated by the Raven ATD Engineer and Buyer as documented on the Raven PPAP Request and Form.  Completed PPAP package with samples, meeting all specified requirements, shall be shipped prior to or with first product shipment.  Incomplete or nonconforming PPAP will result in shipment held at Raven Receiving and may result in overdue shipment. 







 



	
    

	
 Production part approval is required for new designs and may be required on revised part designs.  Approval is also required for: 







 



	
    

	
 • 

	
 Correction of discrepancy on a previously submitted part 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 Items from new, revised, or refurbished tooling (not required for planned tooling maintenance) 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 Changes in material grade or type 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 Substantive process changes 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 Any change to or change in sub-supplier for special processes, e.g. weld, paint, heat treat 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 Changes in production location 









	
    

	
 • 

	
 Changes to inspection or test method 









	
    

	
 • 

	

 Changes to fit, form, or function. 









 







	
    

	
 Suppliers are required to notify Raven ATD 90 days prior to planned changes and as soon as practicable on unplanned changes.  This will facilitate adequate time for review of proposed changes and for planning, approval, and implementation. 







 



	
    

	
 Success in production part approval requires use of advanced product quality planning methods, APQP.  Quality planning begins with a company’s management commitment to defect prevention and continual improvement, as opposed to defect detection. 







 



	
    

	
 APQP is achieved by a cross-functional team which includes supplier representative(s) as appropriate.  Planning occurs in phases requiring outputs, deliverables.  Typical APQP phases include: 







 



	
    

	
 • 

	
 Plan and Define Program 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 Product Design and Development 








	
    

	
 • 

	
 Process Design and Development

 [CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED BASED UPON A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. AN UNREDACTED VERSION OF THIS DOCUMENT HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDED TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 






 



	
    

	
 • 

	
 Statistical Process Control – Where specified in the Control Plan, the supplier is required to apply effective statistical process controls.  Process control charts are most effective when focused on process inputs rather than process outputs.  Capability analysis should be done on processes known to be predictable, in a state of control.  Standard quality improvement tools; histogram, Pareto chart, process flow, cause and effect chart, etc. are highly recommended to reduce item variation and eliminate waste.  Applicable methods can be found in Juran’s Quality Handbook, AIAG SPC Manual, Introduction to Quality Control – D. Montgomery, among others. 







 



	
    

	
 • 

	
 Error Proofing – The supplier should implement error-proofing, or Poke-Yoke, devices and techniques as a form of process control.  These are especially effective for repetitive functions, difficult tasks prone to mistakes, and where the cost of error is high. 







 



	
    

	
 • 

	
 Sampling Inspection – Suppliers are responsible for 100% conforming items delivered to Raven ATD.  When the supplier elects to utilize sampling inspection:

 o 

	
 Acceptance shall be zero defects, c=0 








	
    

	
 o 

	
 Samples shall be taken randomly from populations 








	
    

	
 o 

	
 Sampling plans and parameters shall be identified in the control plan 







 





	
    

	
 • 

	
 Work Instructions – Effective process control requires operators know and understand their tasks.  The supplier is expected to prepare and implement work instructions, as necessary, for employees that operate processes that impact product quality.  Work instructions shall be available at the employees work stations.  The employees shall be trained on these instructions and records evidencing this training shall be readily available to supervisors. 







 



	
    

	
 • 

	
 Control of Measurement and Test Devices – The supplier shall determine the monitoring and measurements to be taken and the devices used for monitoring and measurement to demonstrate conformance.  At a minimum, where needed to ensure valid results, measurement and test devices shall be: 







 




	
    

	
 o 

	
 Calibrated or verified at specified intervals, or prior to use, against standards traceable to national or international measurement standards.  Where no such standards exist, the basis for calibration or verification shall be documented; and 








	
    

	
 o 

	
 Identified to enable calibration status be determined; and

 Training and guidance, template, Conflict-Free Smelter Program compliant smelter list. 


 


 

	



	
 Introduction 


	
 This Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (Template) is a free, standardized reporting template created by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® (EICC®) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI). The Template facilitates the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding mineral country of origin and smelters and refiners being utilized and supports compliance to legislation*. The template also facilitates the identification of new smelters and refiners to potentially undergo an audit via the Conflict-Free Smelter Program**. 


 


 The CMRT was designed for downstream companies to disclose information about their supply chains up to but not including the smelter.  If you are a 3TG smelter or refiner, in accordance with the CFSP protocols, we recommend you enter your own name in the smelter list tab. 


 


 When filling out the form, none of the cell entries should start will "=" or "#." 


	
 


 * In 2010, the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was passed concerning “conflict minerals” originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries. The SEC published final rules associated with the disclosure of the source of conflict minerals by U.S. publicly traded companies (see the rules at http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2012/34-67716.pdf). The rules reference the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, (http://www.oecd.org/daf/inv/mne/GuidanceEdition2.pdf), which guides suppliers to establish policies, due diligence frameworks and management systems.

 Note:  Entries with (*) are mandatory fields. 


	
 1. Insert your company's Legal Name.  Please do not use abbreviations 


	
 2. Select your company's Declaration Scope.  The options for scope are: 


 


 A.  Company-wide 


 B.  Product (or List of Products) 


 C.  User-Defined 


 


 For "Company-wide", the declaration encompasses the entirety of a company's products or product substances produced by the parent company. Therefore if the user is reporting 3TG data at the company level, they will be reporting conflict minerals data on all products they manufacture. 


 


 For Scope selection of Product (or List of Products), a link to the worksheet tab for Product List will be displayed.  If this scope is chosen, it is mandatory to list the Manufacturer's Product Number of the products covered under the Scope of this Declaration in Column B of the Product List worksheet. It is optional to list the Manufacturer's Product Name in Column C of the Product List worksheet. 


 


 For Scope selection of "User Defined", it is mandatory that the user describes the scope to which the 3TG disclosure is applicable. The scope of this class shall be defined in a text field by the supplier and should be easily understood by customers or the receivers of the document. As an example, companies may provide a link to clarifying information. 


 


 This field is mandatory. 


 


	
 3. Insert your company’s unique identifier number or code (DUNS number, VAT number, customer-specific identifier, etc.) 


	
 4. Insert the source for the unique identifier number or code ("DUNS", "VAT", "Customer", etc). 


	
 5. Insert your full company address (street, city, state, country, postal code).  This field is optional. 


	
 6. Insert the name of the person to contact regarding the contents of the declaration information. This field is mandatory. 


	
 7. Insert the email address of the contact person.  If an email address is not available, state ‘‘not available’’ or ‘‘n/a.’’ A blank field may cause an error in form implementation.  This field is mandatory. 


	
 8. Insert the telephone number for the contact. This field is mandatory.

 Instructions for completing the seven Due Diligence Questions (rows 24 - 65). 


 Provide answers in ENGLISH only 


	
 These seven questions define the usage, origination and sourcing identification for each of the metals. The questions are designed to collect information about the use of 3TG in the company’s product(s) to allow for the determination of regulatory applicability. Responses to these questions shall represent the ‘Declaration Scope’ selected in the company information section.The responses to the questions in this section can be used to determine applicability and completeness of 3TG reporting. 


	
 For each of the seven required questions, provide an answer for each metal using the pull down menu selections.The questions in this section must be completed for all 3TG. If the response for a given metal to questions 1 and/or question 2 is positive, then  the subsequent questions shall be completed for that metal and the following due diligence questions (A to J) shall be completed about the company’s overall due diligence program. 


	
 1. This is the first of two questions for which the response is used to determine whether the 3TG is within the scope of conflict minerals reporting requirements. This question relies upon the guidance provided by the SEC in the final rules regarding the determination if a 3TG is “necessary to the functionality” of a product. The SEC guidance is based upon the presumption that a company in the supply chain for a product would not intentionally add a 3TG to that product or any of a product’s sub-components if that 3TG was not necessary to the product’s generally expected function, use, or purpose. This response to this question serves to exclude any trace level contaminants such as tin in steel. 


 


 This question asks if any conflict minerals are used as raw material, component or additive in a product that you manufacture or contract to manufacture (including raw material and components). Impurities from raw materials, components, additives, abrasives, and cutting tools are outside the scope of the survey. 


 


 This question shall be answered for each 3TG. Valid responses to this question are either "yes" or "no". This question is mandatory. 


	
 Some companies may require substantiation for a "No" answer that should be entered into the Comment Field.

 2. This is the second of two questions for which the response is used to determine whether the 3TG is within the scope of conflict minerals reporting requirements as described in the SEC’s final rules regarding the determination if a 3TG is “necessary to the production” of a product.  This question is separate and independent from the question and response to question 1.  This query is intended to identify 3TGs which are intentionally used in the manufacturing process of a product and where some amount of the 3TG remains in the finished product.  These 3TGs likely were not intended to become part of the final product nor are they likely “necessary to the functionality” of the product but are only present as residuals of the manufacturing process.  In many cases, the manufacturer may have attempted to remove or facilitate consumption of the 3TG during the manufacturing process, however, some amount of the 3TG remains.  Should the 3TG, which is used during the manufacturing process, be completely removed during that process, the response to this question would be “no." 


 


 This question shall be answered for each 3TG. Valid answers to this question are either "yes" or "no". This question is mandatory. 


	
 3. This is a declaration that any portion of the 3TGs contained in a product or multiple products originates from the DRC or an adjoining country (covered countries). 


 


 The answer to this query shall be "yes", "no", or "unknown". 


 


 This question is mandatory for a specific metal if the response to Question 1 or 2 is “Yes” for that metal. 


	
 4. This is a declaration that identifies whether 3TGs contained in the product(s) necessary to the functionality of that product(s) originate from recycled or scrap sources. 


 


 The answer to this query shall be "yes", "no", or "unknown". This question is mandatory for a specific metal if the response to Question 1 or 2 is “Yes” for that metal. 


 


 A "Yes" answer means that 100% of the 3TG comes from recycled or scrap sources.  A "No" answer means that some of the 3TG does not come from recycled or scrap sources. An "Unknown" answer means that the user does not know whether or not 100% of the 3TG comes from recycled or scrap sources. 


	
 5. This is a declaration to determine whether a company has received conflict minerals disclosures from all direct suppliers reasonably believed to be providing 3TGs contained in the products covered by the scope of this declaration. Permissible responses to this question are: 


 


 ­ Yes, 100% 


 ­ No, but greater than 75% 


 ­ No, but greater than 50% 


 ­ No, but greater than 25% 


 ­ No, but less than 25% 


 ­ None 


 


 This question is mandatory for a specific metal if the response to Question 1 or 2 is “Yes” for that metal. 


	
 6. This question verifies if the supplier has reason to believe they have identified all of the smelters providing 3TGs in the products covered by this declaration. The answer to this question shall be "yes" or "no", along with a comment in certain cases, e.g. list of smelters. This question is mandatory for a specific metal if the response to Question 1 or 2 is “Yes” for that metal. 


	
 7. This question verifies that all of the smelters identified to be providing any of the 3TGs contained in the products covered by the scope of this declaration have been reported in this declaration. The answer to this question shall be "yes" or "no" along with a comment in certain cases, e.g. list of smelters. This question is mandatory for a specific metal if the response to Question 1 or 2 is “Yes” for that metal. 


	
 Provide comments in the Comment sections as required to clarify your responses. 


	    
	
 Instructions for completing Questions A. – J. (rows 69 - 87).  Questions A. through J. are mandatory if the response to Question 1 or 2 is “Yes” for any metal.

 The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-affected and High-risk Areas (OECD Guidance) defines “Due Diligence” as “an on-going, proactive and reactive process through which companies can ensure that they respect human rights and do not contribute to conflict”.   Due diligence should be an integral part of your company’s overall conflict free sourcing strategy.   Questions A. thru J. are designed to assess your company’s conflict-free minerals sourcing due diligence activities. Responses to these questions shall represent the full scope of your company’s activities and shall not be limited to the ‘Declaration Scope’ selected in the company information section. 


	
 A. Please answer “Yes” or “No”.  Provide any comments, if necessary. 


	
 B. Please answer “Yes” or “No” If “Yes”, provide the web link in the comments section. 


	
 C. Please answer “Yes” or “No”.  Provide any comments if necessary.  See Definitions worksheet for definition of "DRC conflict-free". 


	
 D. This is a declaration to determine whether a company requires their direct suppliers to source 3TG from validated, conflict free smelters. The answer to this query shall be "yes" or "no". This question is mandatory. 


	
 E. Please answer "Yes" or "No" to disclose whether your company has implemented conflict minerals sourcing due diligence measures. This declaration is not intended to provide the details of a company’s due diligence measures - just that a company has implemented due diligence measures. The aspects of acceptable due diligence measures shall be determined by the requestor and supplier. 


 


 Examples of due diligence measures may include: communicating and incorporating into contracts (where possible) your expectations to suppliers on conflict-free mineral supply chain; identifying and assessing risks in the supply chain; designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks; verifying your direct supplier’s compliance to its DRC conflict-free policy, etc.  These due diligence measure examples are consistent with the guidelines included in the internationally recognized OECD Guidance. 


	
 F. This is a declaration to disclose whether a company requests their supplier to fill out a conflict minerals declaration. The answer to this query shall be "yes" or "no" along with a comment in certain cases, i.e., to provide the format used for collecting information. This question is mandatory. 


	
 G. Please answer “Yes” or “No”.  Provide any comments, if necessary. 


	
 H. Please answer “Yes” or “No”.  In the comments section, you can provide additional information on your approach. Examples could be: 


 


  “3rd party audit” - on-site audits of your suppliers conducted by independent third parties. 


  “Documentation review only” - a reviewof supplier submitted records and documentation conducted by independent third parties and, or your company personnel. 


  “Internal audit” - on-site audits of your suppliers conducted by your company personnel. 


	
 I. Please answer “Yes” or “No”.  If “Yes”, please describe how you manage your corrective action process.
