Time and the Production Lead Time. It is clarified that any change in the Production Lead Time detailed in this Agreement shall require NICE' prior written approval; any change in the Sub Assembly Lead Time detailed in this Agreement as a result of which the maximum Sub Assembly Lead Time for the relevant sub-assembly exceeds 30 Days, shall require NICE' prior written approval. 3.2. PURCHASE ORDERS AND ISSUING ORDERS. NICE shall, from time-to-time, issue to Contractor a Purchase Order, according to the Forecast, for Products, by type, quantity and Due Date, as and when it desires to order Products. PO's will be issued at least two (2) weeks prior to the designated Due Date. Each and every order will be entered in NICE' logistic system as a Sales Order. Every Product shall be manufactured according to the Production Lead Time. Commencement of assembly shall be based on Production Lead Times (as per Section A (xvii)) and calculated to meet NICE' delivery requirements. It is clarified that delivery and shipment of Products and NICE' obligation to pay for Products shall only be according to a PO. Purchase Orders for Products (and Forecasts for Products) may be delivered to Contractor by any reasonable means, including but not limited to e-mail, computerized systems, etc., postal delivery, courier delivery, facsimile transmission, as shall be notified by NICE in writing and in advance of any relevant PO. For the removal of doubt, a PO shall not be binding upon Contractor until Contractor has confirmed in writing receipt of the PO. Contractor shall, within two Business Days of its receipt of a Purchase Order, accept or reject such Purchase Order in writing; provided, however, that Contractor shall be obligated to accept all Purchase Orders issued in accordance with the terms hereof for Products with respect to which a price per the quantity ordered has been mutually agreed by the parties. Contractor undertakes that in the event of increase in Product requirements VIS-A-VIS the Forecast (i.e. issuance of PO's exceeding 15 the relevant Forecast), Contractor's manufacturing capacity can be increased, at any time, by thirty percent (30%) beyond the then current Forecast. In addition, in as much as purchase of components and purchase of sub assemblies are concerned, NICE may order Products, which are not included in the Forecast, and Contractor will make its best reasonable commercial efforts to accommodate such order in accordance with NICE' request. It is clarified that in any event Contractor will accept all PO's exceeding the Forecast, subject to updating the Due Date based upon the Total Lead Time for obtaining the required components, which are not available in Contractor's inventory. The Due Date for such PO's will be determined according to the time of obtaining the components. For components/Products the prices for which are not previously agreed under APPENDIX C, the price will be agreed in writing prior to acceptance of the PO. 3.3. FORECAST REVIEW. The parties shall hold weekly meetings, in person, at NICE' facility or by conference phone call, for the purpose of discussing NICE' existing and contemplated Forecasts and order requirements and updating the Forecast; provided, however, only written Forecasts and Purchase Orders, or written modifications thereto, shall bind NICE and Contractor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise. The parties, as business requirements dictate, may mutually agree upon the use of blanket purchase orders for specific sub-assemblies or components (exceeding the requirements under Forecasts), subject to the terms of this Agreement and such sub-assemblies or components purchased shall be deemed Permitted Components. 3.4. PERMITTED COMPONENTS. Contractor may make purchase commitments to suppliers and assemble components to sub-assemblies based upon the Forecasts received from NICE but subject always to the Total Lead Time, Liability and ABC policies of Contractor (which NICE will be entitled to review and comment on in advance of the relevant purchase). Contractor shall maintain inventory of Permitted Components (as defined below) for use during the Production Lead Time. NICE shall only be obligated to Contractor for components and sub-assemblies ordered and assembled by Contractor, in accordance with the Forecast and in compliance always with the Total Lead Time as detailed in APPENDIX C (as amended from time to time according to this Agreement) or otherwise for inventory of components purchased from NICE under Sections 2.7 or 3.4(A), or purchased in accordance with POs, ECO's or Change Orders ("PERMITTED Components"), as detailed hereunder. It is clarified that any Forecast updated following the purchase of Permitted Components will not affect their definition as
