II. Determination of unit purchase price

 

2.1                               Party B shall, in the spirit of honesty, provide a true cost analysis form and put forward reasonable profit requirements. On this basis, Party A and Party B shall determine the final unit purchase price.

In case of any price change, the Purchase Order placed before adjustment shall be executed as per the original price and the Purcahse Order placed after adjustment shall be executed as per the new price. If Party B offers a price lower than Party A’s other suppliers of the same type of raw materials, Party A shall have the obligation to give more orders to Party B; and if Party B offers a higher price, Party A shall have the right to reduce the orders to Party B and even cancel its supply qualifications.

2.4                              Party A and Party B shall keep relevant cost information and unit transaction price in confidence and shall not disclose them to any third party for any reason (unless otherwise stipulated by the law).
