Definitions.

 

“AFR” means Annual Failure Return rate.  AFR measures non-quality field failures, which are Supplier fault only, determined at customer sites or as confirmed at an HP or its Affiliates returns processing/support site.  HP or its Eligible Purchasers shall calculate AFR each month for each Product model, using repair centers, support site reports, and supplier reports.  AFR is calculated as the aggregate failures across Product SKUs.  AFRs are calculated by Supplier, by model, and technology.  AFR = (SFO / cumulative install base) * 12 * 100% “SFO” means the number of Supplier fault only failures for each month.  Cumulative install base equals total HP usage for the “base model” under review.

 

“ARR” means Annual Return Rate.  ARR measures total field returns.  HP or its Eligible Purchasers shall calculate ARR each month, for each Product model, using repair centers, support site reports, and supplier reports.  ARR is calculated as the aggregate returns across PCs SKUs.  ARRs are calculated by supplier, by model, and technology.  ARR = (TR [month] / cumulative install base) * 12* 100%.  TR = total number of returns for each month.  Cumulative install base = total HP usage for the base model under review

 

“Authorized Service Provider” means a Subcontractor approved by HP to provide specified Services for Products

 

“CCFR” means Component Cumulative Failure Rate (in this definition, the term component has the same meaning as the term Product).  CCFR measures quality field Failures determined at customer sites or as confirmed at an HP or its Affiliates returns processing/Support site HP or its Eligible Purchasers shall calculate CCFR each month, for each given HP system Product cycle, and each Product model using factories, repair centers, and support site reports.

 

CCFR is calculated in each cycle as the aggregate failures across PCs SKUs.  CCFRs are calculated by vendor, by component type, region, ODM, description, model number.  CCFR [m] = (Rdefect [m] = Wdefect [m] = FRU-defect (m}) / (installed base) * 100% [m] = the number of months since the component first shipped in that product cycle.  [m] is between (1 and 15). Rdefect = is the sum of Defects found in units returned from the channel.  Wb-defect = Defects found from units returned from customers under Warranty.  FRU-defect = defective parts that are replaced in the field (customer environment) by either HP or its Affiliates

“Corrective Action Plan” means an HP-approved plan developed by Supplier to remedy a Failure.  A Corrective Action Plan shall, at a minimum, include a detailed description of the actions to be implemented in the product design, production process, inspection process or Product sourcing in response to and to remedy a failure.  Additionally, a Corrective Action Plan shall describe the additional engineering and technical support that Supplier will provide to reduce the Product Failure Rate to a level at or below the target Failure Rate for the Product, as well as any other necessary corrective measures as agreed to by HP and Supplier.  The action plan may also potentially include the following remedies: (i) expedited shipment of replacement Products for inventory retrofit; (ii) processing all returns at no cost to HP; (iii) shipment of Software fixes directly to registered customers; (iv) credit for RMA back-log (v) and other actions as HP deems appropriate.

 

“Eligible Purchasers” includes, solely for the purposes of this Module, HP authorized service providers, including without limitation, HP repair centers, HP’s Authorized Service Providers, and HP-authorized channel partners.

 

“Failure” means a deviation from the Product Specification as determined by visual inspections or by mechanical, electrical, or chemical testing or analysis.  Failures will be verified using diagnostic tools and processes approved by HP and/or its Eligible Purchasers.  Failures may be discovered during qualification, manufacturing, final assembly or as a result of returns or information received by Supplier for HP, its Eligible Purchasers or HP customers.  A Failure may also include a visual defect which is a deviation from Specification consisting of a marking, blemish or coloration anomaly that does not affect functional performance of the Product (“Visual Defect’).  Visual Defects are determined through appropriate visual inspection of the Product Supplier, HP or its Eligible Purchasers.  A Customer Induced Defect (“CID”) caused by misuse or mishandling of the Product by the end-user customer does not constitute a Failure.

Assurance of Supply and Flexibility Agreement

 

This Module contains additional provisions related to Assurance of Supply and Flexibility and forms part of the Hardware Product Purchase Agreement.

 

I.           Assurance of Supply Agreement.  HP is committed to providing an uninterrupted supply of products and services to its customers.  As a result, HP expects its suppliers, as specified in this Agreement, to provide an uninterrupted supply of products and services, free from defects and disruptions to HP.  HP also expects its suppliers to be capable of delivering their products and services to the point and time of need, as specified by HP.  Additionally, HP expects its suppliers to demonstrate continuous supply improvement, by identifying and implementing strategies that strengthen assurance of supply and reduce supply chain risk.  Such strategies may include inbound, outbound and manufacturing lead-time reduction, industry standard sourcing, multi-sourcing, statistical inventory buffer analysis, formal stocking policies for similar components and finished goods, regional manufacturing, inventory stocking, and order management, postponement, and other manufacturing, inventory management, and logistics strategies that increase Supplier reliability, agility, flexibility, and responsiveness.  Supplier shall comply with the following requirements:

Clause 2:

 

Supplier’s Performance Capability.  HP may review Supplier’s performance capability under this Agreement at HP’s discretion, and Supplier will make available to HP, upon written request, information as may be reasonable, customary and sufficient to show Supplier’s then current performance capability, including financial condition.  If the financial condition of either Party materially and adversely changes from its financial condition as of the date of this Agreement, then the other Party will have the right to demand adequate assurance of due performance.

 

Clause 3:

 

Competitive Pricing.  Supplier will maintain competitive pricing of Products for HP throughout the Term. At any time during the Term HP may notify Supplier that HP has received a bona fide offer to deliver Product, or a substantial equivalent, under written contract in approximately comparable volume, mix, service level and duration of committed sale as the undelivered or unperformed portion of any committed volume under this Agreement at pricing lower than pricing in effect under this Agreement or at lower total cost to HP.  If within fifteen (15) days of the date of such notice Supplier does not reduce its pricing sufficiently to meet the terms of such offer and advise HP of such reduction, HP may purchase from such offer any or all of the undelivered or unperformed portion of any committed volume under this Agreement.  The quantity so purchased will be deleted from any HP purchase requirements.  Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, this provision will not apply to (i) any Non-cancelable Order for Product or (ii) any Accepted Order for Last Time Buys.

Clause 4:

 

Best Pricing.  At any time during the Term, unless otherwise agreed, if Supplier sells or offers to sell Product with comparable volume under like payment terms at lower pricing or upon more favorable terms and conditions than in effect hereunder to another customer, Supplier will promptly notify HP and, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, offer such lower pricing or more favorable terms and conditions to HP during the period in which such lower pricing or more favorable terms and conditions are offered or in effect.

 

Clause 5:

 

New Product Offerings.  At any time during the Term HP may notify Supplier that HP has received a bona fide offer to deliver goods which have superior technical specifications or superior attributes or capabilities as compared with Product, and to the extent it deems itself able to do so, HP may provide specifics so that Supplier may revise specifications for Product or otherwise offer such substitute goods to HP hereunder.  If within a commercially reasonable time after such notice Supplier is unable to sell or fails to offer to sell HP Product with revised specifications (which are acceptable to HP) or such substitute goods at reasonable pricing and otherwise meeting the terms of such offer, HP may purchase from such offeror any or all of the undelivered or unperformed portion of any committed volume under this Agreement.  The quantity so purchased will be deleted from HP’s purchase requirements.

 

Clause 6:

 

Inspection and Audit Rights.  HP, at its expense, may inspect and audit, and/or may engage an independent third party (“Auditor) to inspect and audit, on a semi-annual basis, or more frequently if HP reasonably believes Supplier may have breached any of its obligations under this Agreement, Supplier’s books and records relating to, or otherwise connected with, Supplier’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement and that are reasonably required to determine Supplier’s compliance with Suppliers obligations under this Agreement.  HP will provide Supplier reasonable notice, not less than ten (10) days in advance, of such inspection and audit.  Supplier will refund the amount of any overcharge or other discrepancy as may reasonably be determined by such inspection and audit, and if the final report of such inspection and audit reveals an overcharge or other discrepancy of Five percent (5%) or more during the relevant time period, Supplier will also reimburse HP for all reasonable costs of the inspection and audit.  Supplier will cooperate fully with all such inspection and audit requests; provided that (i) in no event will material containing any information that is protected under court order or the written directions of regulatory authorities be required to be disclosed and (ii) material may be redacted by Supplier to the extent necessary to protect against any invasion of personal privacy.

 

Any such Auditor will execute a confidentiality agreement in favor of Supplier containing terms no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement prior to receipt of any of the information referenced above; provided that such Auditor may disclose such information only to HP and Supplier; and provided further that (I) the identity of Supplier’s other customers, details of specific customer transactions and actual costs incurred by Supplier will not be disclosed to HP and (ii) aggregated pricing, aggregate costs and other information not identifiable to an individual or source may be disclosed to HP.  HP’s right of inspection and audit under this provision will continue and survive for three (3) years after expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

real property described on Exhibit A with all improvements located thereon (the “Premises”), including
a two (2) story office building located at 1450 South Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida 33130 (the “Building”). The
Premises are stipulated for all purposes to contain 6,500 square feet of net rentable area.

 

2.    LEASE
TERM.

 

2.1    This Lease shall
continue in force during a period commencing on the date that the Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant and makes the Premises
accessible to Tenant (the “Commencement Date”) and continuing until the last day of the calendar month occurring
fourteen (14) full months after the Commencement Date (the “Lease Term”), or any extension thereof as provided
for herein, unless this Lease is sooner terminated or extended to a later date under any other term or provision of this Lease.
Landlord shall, following the Commencement Date, notify Tenant of the occurrence thereof in the form of the Commencement Date Letter
attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Commencement Date established by Landlord in such agreement shall be conclusively binding
upon Tenant, whether or not Tenant executes such Commencement Date Letter, unless Tenant gives written notice to Landlord within
five (5) business days following its receipt of the Commencement Date Letter from Landlord that it disputes the date established
by Landlord.

 

2.2    Tenant shall have
one (1) option to renew this Lease, such option shall be for an additional twelve (12) month period, provided that Tenant has not
been in default under this Lease at any time. Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord of its desire to exercise this option
no later than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. The rent for the renewal option will be $29.00 per square
foot plus any and all applicable taxes. Holding over by Tenant shall not be deemed an exercise of the renewal option.

 

3.    CONDITION
OF PREMISES.

 

3.1    Prior to the Commencement
Date, Landlord will remove all furniture in the Building on the Premises, except for the three (3) work stations, including but
not limited to, three (3) chairs, and the furniture in the southeast comer office on the second floor.

 

3.2    The Premises shall
be delivered by Landlord on the Commencement Date to Tenant in an “as-is where-is” condition, except for the repairs
specified herein below. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord will: (i) repair the elevator door on the second floor; (ii) provide
tiles in the east stairwell; (iii) have the carpet stretched in a commercially reasonably manner; (iv) repair the men’s bathroom
on the second floor; (v) repair or replace any broken or stained ceiling tiles throughout the Premises; (vi) provide touch-up paint
where necessary; and (vii) shall install a new or move the existing monitor connection in the large second floor conference room

and occupy the Premises for general office use only. Tenant will comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
of governmental authorities and agencies with respect to the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises.

 

4.2    Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 4.1, Tenant agrees not to use or permit the use of the Premises for any purpose which is illegal, dangerous
to life, limb or property or which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, creates a nuisance or which would increase the cost
of insurance coverage with respect to the Building.

 

5.    BASE
RENT.

 

5.1    During the Lease
Term, the rent shall be $27.00 per square foot, plus any applicable sales tax (“Base Rent”). Base Rent shall

month of free rent otherwise mentioned in this Lease). Tenant agrees to pay all such sums in advance, without notice or demand,
and without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. In the event that the first month of the Lease Term (which shall be treated as
the free rent month) is a partial calendar month, then the rent for such month shall be prorated to reflect the number of days
included in such partial month and the balance of free days shall be allocated to the next month’s rent but in no event shall

promulgated by Landlord with respect thereto.

 

6.2    The failure by
Landlord to any extent to furnish, or the interruption or termination of, the Defined Services in whole or in part, resulting from
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord shall not render Landlord liable in any respect nor be construed as an eviction
(constructive or otherwise) of Tenant, nor allow for an offset or abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to
fulfill any covenant or agreement of this Lease.

    	-3-

    	 

    

 

6.3    Should any of
the equipment or machinery used in the provision of Defined Services, for any cause, cease to function properly, Tenant shall have
no claim for offset or abatement of rent or damages on account of an interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.

 

6.4    Tenant shall not
be entitled to an abatement of rent (with respect to that portion of the Premises that has been made untenantable) in the event
of a stoppage or interruption of any Defined Services that continue for more than five (5) consecutive days, unless such stoppage
is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord..
