	2.	PRODUCT SUPPLY 

  

	 	2.1	General. BUYER shall submit a purchase order (the “Purchase Order”) to SELLER specifying the quantity of LCD, Assembly to be purchased by BUYER, as set forth in
this Section 2. BUYER shall submit at least one Purchase Order to SELLER, on a quarterly basis, as determined by the BUYER. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BUYER may submit more than one Purchase Order per quarter. 

  

	 	2.2	 Initial Purchase Order: Procurement and Testing of Engineering Samples. BUYER shall submit an initial Purchase Order (the “Initial Purchase Order”)
to SELLER within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement. The Initial Purchase Order shall specify the type, quantity, and specifications of engineering samples of the LCD Assembly (the “Samples”) required by BUYER for testing.
BUYER and SELLER shall mutually agree on the specifications (the “Specifications”) for the Samples. The BUYER shall have up to six (6) months from the date of its receipt of the Samples to test and evaluate said Samples. To the extent

 - 1 - 









	 	 
meet the required Specifications. In the event the Samples fail to meet the Specifications, including engineering tests and field customer evaluations, as
determined by BUYER, in its sole discretion, BUYER shall notify the SELLER, pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement. Within 5 days of the receipt of such notice from BUYER, SELLER must notify BUYER of its intention to remedy the failure,
setting forth in reasonable detail its assessment of the failure and the time period required to remedy the cause of failure. If SELLER’s proposed remedy or time frame is not acceptable to BUYER, in its sole discretion, BUYER may cancel the
Initial Purchase Order, and any other Purchase Order submitted by BUYER, without penalty. 


  

	 	2.3	Fulfillment of Purchase Orders by SELLER. SELLER shall ship the LCD Assembly products to BUYER, in the quantities, at such times, and to the locations as requested by BUYER

technology which are not incorporated in SELLER’s LCD Assembly, cancellations by BUYER’s customers for BUYER’s products which incorporate SELLER’s LCD Assembly, or a redesign of BUYER’s current configuration of
instrumentation that house the LCD ASSEMBLY which redesign renders SELLER’s LCD Assembly incompatible, as determined by BUYER in its sole discretion, with BUYER’s products. For a cancellation by BUYER pursuant to this Section 2.5 to
be without penalty, cancellation notice must be provided to SELLER at any time up to and including one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the scheduled shipment date as set forth in the applicable Purchase Order. To the extent that such notice
