terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and at a mutually agreed upon price. 
 
3. Scope of Services/Operating Model. 
 
3.1 Seller shall manufacture, assemble, test and deliver Products that meet agreed to specifications provided by Powerwave. Seller will purchase material at lead-time per the Powerwave AML necessary to manufacture Products per
Powerwave Orders and forecasts. It is Powerwave’s intention to involve Seller in the vendor selection process. Seller is responsible for all inventory management and quality control of Material used in the production of the Product. Seller

4. Term and Termination. 
 
4.1 This Agreement shall become effective when signed by an authorized
representative of Powerwave and Seller and the term of this Agreement is twenty four (24) months from the effective date. This Agreement will automatically renew for additional one (1) year terms after the expiration of the initial term unless
either party receives from the other, at least six (6) months prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal term, written notice to terminate this Agreement at the end of the then current term. 
 
4.2 This Agreement may be cancelled in whole or in part by either party
by providing six (6) months advance written notice, provided, however, that the parties hereto may agree in writing to a shorter notice period. In the event of termination pursuant to this section 4.2: (a) termination of this Agreement will not
prejudice accrued rights and liabilities (including payment for Product delivered) of either party; (b) on termination or other discharge of this Agreement, Seller, will following Powerwave’s request, deliver to Powerwave all Powerwave
property; (c) Seller will stop work pursuant to this Agreement to the extent specified in the termination notice or as otherwise agreed to between the parties; 
 

6 

 
(d) Seller will terminate all
subcontracts and orders that relate to terminated work; and (e) Seller will complete the work in progress for all non-terminated work. 
 
4.3 Either Powerwave or Seller may terminate this Agreement upon the other party’s material breach of this Agreement, provided that (a) the
non-breaching party first shall have sent written notice to the breaching party describing the breach in reasonable detail and requesting it be cured, (b) the breaching party does not cure the breach within sixty (60) days following its receipt of
such notice and (c) following the expiration of the sixty-day cure period, the non-breaching party sends a second written notice to the breaching party indicating that the non-breaching party has terminated the Agreement. The following will be
considered a material breach of this Agreement: (i) the failure of either party to perform or observe any material term, condition or covenant to be performed by it under this Agreement; or (ii) an unauthorized assignment of this Agreement.

 
4.4 Powerwave or Seller may terminate this Agreement
immediately, if either party becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, or if a receiver and manager, liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy or other officer with similar powers is appointed over all or a substantial part of the assets of that party, or
if that party files a proposal or notice of intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act or any similar law or any equivalent event occurs under any relevant jurisdiction. The termination of this Agreement will not affect any
Order which has been dated and acknowledged prior to the effective date of termination. 
 
4.5 Upon any termination, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the orderly wind down of operations of Powerwave, taking into account Powerwave’s need to avoid interruption of
supply. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Seller agrees to meet in good faith with Powerwave to create and execute a transition plan which may include: (i) a transfer of all Materials at a price to be agreed upon; (ii) a transfer of all
tooling and equipment bought specifically for Powerwave’s Product at a price to be agreed upon; (iii) transfer of all Powerwave’s tagged assets and any equipment bought on behalf of Powerwave; (iv) a schedule to complete the remaining
Orders; and (v) any other items to be agreed upon between the parties. Subject to the Seller’s confidentiality obligations and security requirements, Powerwave may audit the Seller during the winding down of operations concerning any Powerwave
tagged assets or any equipment bought on behalf of Powerwave. 
 
5. Nature of Agreement; Forecasts. This Agreement does not create any obligation on the part of Powerwave to purchase any particular quantity or dollar amount of Products from Seller until an Order has been placed for the
Products by Powerwave. Powerwave may periodically issue blanket purchase orders to cover the purchase of Products up to the maximum dollar amount or quantity specified on the blanket purchase order. Seller agrees that the quantities or dollar
amounts listed on the blanket Purchase Order are the maximum quantities or dollar amounts of Products that can be purchased by Powerwave under the purchase order and are not commitments to buy any specific dollar amount or quantity of Products.
Orders for Products only can be placed by Powerwave submitting a written purchase order or a release against a blanket purchase order. Seller should not rely on oral statements of Powerwave employees, as Powerwave only places orders for Products
through written purchase orders or a release against a blanket purchase order. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Powerwave may from time to time provide Seller with forecasts, such forecasts are for planning purposes only and shall not be
considered a commitment by Powerwave to purchase the Product shown in the forecast, except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement. 
 
6. Ordering Process for Discreet Purchase Orders. 
 

7 

 
6.1 From time to time,
Powerwave may place orders for discreet quantities of Products on scheduled delivery dates by issuing one or more discreet Purchase Orders. Seller shall not consider verbal orders as valid until Seller receives an approved written Purchase Order.
The principal method of Seller delivery notification shall be weekly releases against blanket purchase orders as described in section 13 of this Agreement. 
 
6.2 Seller will acknowledge receipt of Orders and the vendor delivery schedule report within two (2) Business Days after receipt and notify
Powerwave of acceptance or non-acceptance of Orders and vendor delivery schedule report within three (3) Business Days of receipt. In case Seller’s confirmation of an Order or Seller’s invoice or Powerwave’s Orders contains terms and
conditions which are in conflict with or attempt to amend this Agreement, such conflicting or additional terms and conditions shall be regarded as null and void, unless specifically accepted by Powerwave or Seller in writing. 
 
7. Shipping and Packing and Risk of Loss. 
 
7.1 Except as otherwise agreed, all Products sold to Powerwave are
delivered Delivery Duties Paid (DDP) Santa Ana, California USA (Incoterms 2000). Seller shall follow Powerwave’s reasonable shipping instructions and use Powerwave’s recommended freight carriers. Seller will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to timely ship the Product to meet the agreed Delivery Dates. If due to Seller’s failure to fulfill its obligations, the specified method of transportation will not permit Seller to meet the Delivery Date specified in an Order, the
Products affected shall be shipped by air transportation or other expedient means acceptable to Powerwave and Seller will pay for any resulting increase in freight costs over the specified method of transportation. Shipments shall be made to the
following location unless otherwise specified: 
 
Powerwave Technologies, Inc. 
1395 S. Lyon Street

7.4 Routing Instructions.

If Buyer directs Seller to mark or label any
Parts with a trade name, trademark, or logo owned or licensed by Powerwave, Seller shall apply the marking or labeling only on the quantity of Products and in the manner specified in Powerwave’s written instructions. 
 
7.6 Delivery and Title. 
 
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if Seller makes any shipment more than
four (4) Business Days prior to the scheduled delivery date by the specified method of transportation, Powerwave may delay processing the invoice until the delivery date. Seller warrants that, upon delivery of the Products to Powerwave, title will
pass to Powerwave free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances and that no Products purchased hereunder shall be subject to any agreement under which any interest therein or encumbrance thereon is retained by any third
party. If Seller and Powerwave mutually agree to implement a vendor managed inventory (“VMI”) program, Seller and Powerwave shall execute an amendment to this Agreement which contains the terms and conditions related to such VMI program.

 
8. Quality Control and Inspection. 
 
8.1 Powerwave’s quality target is to accept only Products fully
conforming to the Product Requirements Specification. Seller shall provide a formal Quality Plan for each Product that includes manufacturing process and capability metrics, product certification, in process and final test procedures, data

8.4 Powerwave may also perform specific incoming inspection and
out-of-box audits at its facilities to determine whether the Products meet the Product Requirements Specification. Such inspections shall be completed by Powerwave within ten (10) Calendar Days after delivery of Product to Powerwave. It is expressly
agreed that inspections and/or payments prior to delivery will not constitute final acceptance. If the Products delivered do not meet the Product Requirements Specification, then Powerwave shall have the rights as specified in Section 9.

 
8.5 Powerwave reserves the right during regular business
hours and following reasonable advance notice to Seller and subject to Powerwave’s confidentiality obligations, to inspect Seller’s facilities or quality control procedures and perform reasonable source verifications and quality assurance
audits, both prior to the first delivery of Products and periodically thereafter, in order to verify compliance with the Product Requirements Specification and Process Documentation. Any such inspections or audits shall not relieve Seller of its
obligation to deliver conforming Product in accordance with specified delivery dates. 
 
8.6 All Materials used to manufacture Products have been inspected (visual) using reasonable commercial practices and agreed to internal quality control standards. 
 
9. Non-Conforming Products, RMA and Returns. 
 
9.1 If a Product fails out of the box within thirty (30) days following
delivery, Powerwave may return the defective Product for credit. 
 
9.2 If Powerwave believes that any shipment of Product has failed the incoming inspection, fails out of the box or should be rejected because it is a Noncomplying Product (as defined below) or does not comply with the
applicable warranties as outlined in Article 10, Powerwave will give Seller written notice, giving sufficient details of the failure or rejection. All returned Product shall include documentation describing the nature of the defect, how it was
discovered and under what conditions it occurred. In the event of failing to meet incoming inspection, Seller shall be entitled to receive a reasonable number of samples of the Noncomplying Product. Powerwave requires an RMA from the Seller prior to
returning any Product. An RMA will be provided by Seller to Powerwave within three (3) 
 

10 

 
Business Days of
Powerwave’s request. The Seller’s issuance of an RMA will not be unreasonably withheld. Upon return of the Noncomplying Products, Seller will, at its election either repair, replace or credit Powerwave for the Noncomplying Products. The
cost associated with any such repair, replacement, or credit will be the responsibility of the Seller. Powerwave and Seller shall work together to develop a blanket RMA process. 
 
9.3 If any Product is defective or otherwise not in conformity with the Product Requirements Specification
(“Noncomplying Product”), Powerwave may (i) return the Noncomplying Product to Seller at its place of manufacture of the Product or at a designated repair facility for the Product (Santa Ana, California USA) for replacement or reworking at
Seller’s expense, or (ii) repair the Noncomplying Product and recover its reasonable expenses of repair provided that Seller authorizes the repair in writing. Seller shall, if Powerwave selects the alternative in clause (i) above, return
replacement or reworked Product no later than ten (10) business days after receipt of the Non-Complying Product from Powerwave. If Seller fails to repair and deliver the Product to Powerwave within thirty (30) Calendar Days after receipt, Powerwave
may reject the Product and Seller will issue a credit for the affected Product. The parties agree to review the status of Product repairs and repair cycles at their quarterly business reviews or more frequently as mutually agreed. 

 
9.4 Seller will provide a quarterly summary report
showing all repairs made during the period. The report will include model number, serial number, completion date of warranty service, description of failure condition, parts required to make repair. If Seller becomes aware of any quality issues,
design or manufacturing defect, other issues, whether Seller or supplier related, which may impact Seller’s compliance with the Product Requirement Specification or Process Documentation then Seller will promptly notify Powerwave of the nature
of such issues and provide the known technical details. Powerwave reserves the right to suspend Product shipments until resolution of the above issue. 
 
10. Warranties. 
 
10.1 Seller warrants that all Products are: (i) free from defects in workmanship; (ii) new, unused and in good working order; (iii) manufactured in
accordance with and conforming to the Product Requirements Specification; and (iv) free of all liens and encumbrances. In addition, Seller warrants that any Products furnished by Seller have undergone or have been subject to quality control
activities and procedures, including performance measurements, testing, quality process reviews or inspections as detailed in section 8 of this Agreement and Exhibit B to this Agreement. 
 
10.2 With respect to Materials incorporated in the Products that are acquired from third parties, Seller will pass
through the benefit to Powerwave of all manufacturer warranties, to the extent permitted. Seller, upon reasonable request by Powerwave, will provide copies of the manufacturer product warranty to Powerwave. 
 
10.3 Seller warrants that all services will be performed in compliance
with applicable specifications and with the skill, care and diligence and in accordance with the applicable standards currently recognized in Seller’s industry or profession. 
 
10.4 All warranties specified in this Section 10 shall (i) survive any inspection, delivery, test, acceptance, use or
payment by Powerwave; (ii) be in effect for the ** (**) month period following delivery to Powerwave. Powerwave shall promptly after discovering the defect notify the Seller. Any defective Product shall be returned prepaid to Seller’s
designated repair location (Santa Ana, California USA) within the warranty period, except where the defect is discovered in the last month of the warranty, where Powerwave notifies the Seller in accordance with this Section and returns the defective
Product no 
 

11 

 
later than thirty (30)
Calendar Days after the expiration of the warranty period. Any repaired Product shall be warranted for the remainder of the warranty period or ninety (90) Calendar Days, whichever is the greater. 
 
10.5 The Seller agrees that it will, without charge, during the
warranty period following delivery, repair, replace or credit, at the Seller’s option, any, Products which do not comply with the above warranties. Powerwave will pay for the return of Products to the Seller’s designated premises. Seller
will pay for the redelivery to Powerwave’s premises as directed by Powerwave of all repaired or replaced Products. 
 
10.6 If Powerwave experiences an annualized field failure rate of **% or more for any cause Powerwave will promptly inform Seller of the nature of
such failure, provide the known technical details at the time and the parties agree to meet together to address the issue. 
 
If, at any time prior to ** (**) years after the delivery date by Seller of Product, Powerwave experiences an annualized field failure rate (measured over
a 6-month period) of three percent or more and if such failure(s) have resulted from Seller’s workmanship, material purchased from a supplier not part of the AML, or improper manufacture or assembly of the Product, such failures shall be
considered an Epidemic Failure.  
 
If the cause for such
Epidemic Failure is Seller’s workmanship, improper manufacture or assembly of the Product or component purchased from a supplier not part of the AML, then Seller will work with Powerwave in a proactive and professional manner to remedy the
situation with the goal to minimize the impact to Powerwave’s customers. The parties will work together on a recovery plan that addresses the repair and replacement of the affected Product within a reasonable time frame and allocates the cost
to carry out the recovery plan based on degree of responsibility. 
 
10.7 The above warranties do not apply to Products which have been misused, modified, damaged or subjected to any repair not authorized in writing by Seller in advance. 
 
10.8 The Seller will use its reasonable commercial efforts to support
Powerwave in resolving non-warrantable issues such as a defect in a component, or a malfunction in a component and resolving quality issues with third party component manufacturers. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to find the cause of such
defects and take remedial measures. If there is a defect in a component Seller agrees to pay for the labor costs for reworking the Product with a new or repaired component, not to exceed $US** per occurence. 
 
10.9 SECTIONS 9-10 SETS OUT SELLER’S SOLE OBLIGATION FOR CLAIMS
BASED ON DEFECTS IN OR FAILURE OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE AND REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT SELLER DOES NOT EXCLUDE OR LIMIT ITS LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM ITS NEGLIGENCE NOR LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF ANY TERM IMPLIED BY STATUTE TO THE EXTENT
THAT SUCH LIABILITIES CANNOT BY LAW BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED. 
 
11. Prices; Payment Terms; Invoicing. 
 
 

12 

 
11.1(a) The initial
unit prices for the Products are specified on the Product Attachment and the prices include packing, labeling and part marking. The price for each Product will be quoted in US Dollars using an agreed upon pricing model whereby the materials cost
information is agreed to and the assembly/test labor rates, SG&A, profit and overhead rates are per Exhibit A. Under the pricing model, the material cost and supplier selection information for all purchased materials will be shared with the
intention of selecting the components and suppliers that provide the lowest total bill of material cost, subject to the supplier being on the AML. Payment may be refused by Powerwave for any additional work performed which is not within the Product
price as shown in the Product Attachment, or cost incurred in excess of the Product unit price unless authorized in writing by an authorized Powerwave representative. 
 
11.1(b) Prices will be subject to review by the parties on a quarterly basis (and at such other times as may be
agreed) at the Quarterly Business Review to be arranged by the authorised representatives of the parties. Price adjustments may be implemented as the parties agree. Changes to Prices, and the manner and timing of their implementation, will be agreed
by the parties on a fair and reasonable basis at such review meeting including how to address inventory variances resulting from price changes. 
 
11.2 All invoices shall include the following information: 
 

	 	•	 	Blanket Purchase Order Number 

 

	 	•	 	Powerwave Part Number and description 

 

	 	•	 	Unit price and extended total 

 

	 	•	 	Date of shipment 

 
11.3 Products shall be invoiced upon shipment or upon receipt of a pull signal from Powerwave in the case of a VMI program. Payment terms shall be
forty-five (45) Calendar Days payable in US Dollars, from the date of invoice. Powerwave may deduct from Seller’s invoices any moneys owed Powerwave by Seller. Powerwave may withhold payment for amounts claimed under invoices that it in good
faith believes are in excess actual amounts owing. 
 
11.4
Powerwave may request a price decrease based on market conditions, manufacturing economies of scale, lower material costs, currency rate fluctuations, or any other reasonable factors at any time with firm price negotiations to be conducted every
three (3) months at a mutually agreed upon time and location. Upon receiving such request Seller will consider the proposal and negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution in good faith. Seller and Powerwave will use their reasonable efforts to
achieve a cost reduction target of **% per calendar quarter for each Product. Seller and Powerwave agree to implement an aggressive price reduction program that targets specific areas of the Product that shall include but is not limited to a
pass-through of cost savings derived from manufacturing efficiency improvements, quality improvements, and material cost savings. 
 
11.5 Unless Powerwave provides appropriate exemption certificates, Powerwave will be responsible for and will pay all taxes including value added
taxes, duties or other governmental or regulatory charges in any country resulting from the performance of this Agreement, except for any income related taxes for which Seller is directly liable. Seller shall notify Powerwave of any such tax
liabilities incurred on behalf of Powerwave or arising in connection with doing business with Powerwave as soon as practicable and will make all reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of any such tax liabilities. 
 
11.6 If Seller offers a better price or pricing formula to any third
party for similar Products, based on similar volumes, under substantially similar terms and conditions and in similar geographies then theSeller agrees to offer such price or pricing formula to Powerwave retroactively as of the date first offered to
the third party. The Seller agrees to fulfill its obligations in this Article in good faith. 
 

13 

 
12. Changes.

 
12.1 Engineering Changes Proposed By Seller.

 
Seller may not discontinue the manufacture of any Product
nor make any changes that affect the form, fit, function quality, reliability, or interchangeability of any Product without the prior written approval of an authorized representative of Powerwave’s supplier quality department. Seller shall
notify Powerwave of any proposed change to any Product and shall supply a written description of the expected effect of the change, including the effect on price, and any cost savings permitted by the change. In addition, Seller shall provide
Powerwave with sample builds reflecting the change as well as a product evaluation test for the sample builds that includes yield and test results for the sample builds. Powerwave shall approve or disapprove the proposed changes within ten (10)
Business Days after receipt of Seller’s written request and the supporting information described above. Seller may not change or modify the Product without Powerwave’s prior written consent. Changes shall not be binding upon Powerwave
except when specifically confirmed in writing signed by an authorized representative of Powerwave’s supplier quality department. Information, advise, approvals or inspections given by Powerwave’s technical personnel or other
representatives shall be deemed expressions of personal opinions only and shall not affect Powerwave’s and Seller’s rights and obligations. Upon approval by an authorized representative of Powerwave’s supplier quality department such
changes shall be documented and incorporated into the Product Requirements Specification and Process Documentation. In addition Seller may not change Seller’s manufacturing site or process without the prior written approval of Powerwave.

 
12.2 Engineering Changes Requested By Powerwave.

 
Powerwave reserves the right at any time, to change by a
written notice (ECN), the Product Requirements Specification or Process Documentation. Powerwave also may make changes to the packaging and assembly and test procedures. Finally, Powerwave may make changes in the amount of any property or services
furnished by Powerwave. When Seller receives an ECN it will provide a detailed response within five (5) Business Days of receipt. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the price of Products under this Agreement or in the time required
for Seller’s performance, Seller shall promptly notify Powerwave and assert its claim for adjustment within ten business (10) days after the change is ordered, and an equitable adjustment shall be made. 
 
13. Weekly Releases, Rescheduling, Flexibility, Delivery Delays.

 
13.1 The principal delivery notification method to
be used between Powerwave and Seller is described below. Powerwave will place a blanket purchase order for Products and the blanket purchase order typically covers a period of one year. The blanket purchase order covers the purchase of Products up
to the maximum dollar amount or quantity specified in the blanket purchase order. Seller agrees that the quantities or dollar amounts listed on the blanket purchase order are the maximum quantities or dollar amounts of Products that can be purchased
by Powerwave under the purchase order and are not commitments to buy any specific dollar amount or quantity of Products. Orders for Products can only be placed by submitting a weekly release as described below. Powerwave will communicate and update
its requirements for Products on a weekly basis by providing Seller with a Vendor Delivery Schedule Report (VDS). The VDS contains two headings under each Product number. The heading “Released to Ship” shows the quantity of the Product to
be released to Powerwave for delivery on a specific date. The heading “Forecast” shows Powerwave forecast needs for the supply of Product on a weekly basis for the first five weeks and then on a monthly basis for the next four months. The
VDS is typically provided 
 

14 

 
on the close of business on
every Tuesday or the second business day of a standard work week and updated on a weekly basis. 
 
The Seller may order Materials with lead-time of more than ** weeks and Material that is non-cancelable or non-returnable only with Powerwave’s prior written approval and such approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld by Powerwave. On a monthly basis the Seller will provide Powerwave with a report of Materials with lead-times greater than (**) ** weeks and Material that is non-cancelable or non-returnable. Powerwave shall provide its
written approval to the Seller within three (3) Business Days from receipt of the report.  
 
Seller is authorized to ship only the quantity listed under the “Released to Ship” heading. The quantity under the heading “Forecast” is for Seller’s planning purposes only to
assure manufacturing capacity and material planning and procurement and not to be released to build. 
 
13.2 The first ** days on the VDS under the forecast heading represents a binding commitment as to the quantity of Products ordered by Powerwave and may not be rescheduled or cancelled
(“Firm Commitment.”) [See Chart in section 14.1 under heading “Maximum quantity of a specific Product for which delivery may be delayed.”] Provided the “release to ship” or “forecast” columns on the VDS are
not revised upward in excess of the flexibility parameters described below, the “release to ship” and “forecast” columns will roll forward such that at the end of a week two will be a new Firm Commitment of fifteen days.

 
13.3 The delivery of Product subject to an Order
(excluding the Firm Commitment) may, at the discretion of Powerwave, be revised or delayed for up to ** (**) Calendar Days without penalty or cost from original scheduled delivery date based on the percentages in the chart below. Any
commitment to delayed Products shall be considered met once Powerwave takes delivery of the delayed items. If Powerwave does not take delivery of the delayed Products within **(**) Calendar Days, the Products will have been cancelled and dealt with
in accordance with Article 14. 
 
13.4 Seller shall give
Powerwave at least five days advance notice of any prospective failure to ship Product in time to meet the committed delivery date specified in any order or release. Such notice shall specify what Products are delayed and a proposed new Delivery
Date. If Powerwave does not agree to the proposed new delivery date and if the delay is greater than thirty (30) Business Days, Powerwave shall then have the option of terminating the order without obligation for payment or for accepting the revised
Delivery Date. Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to meet agreed delivery dates and will bear the cost of any reasonable premium freight charges, material expediting fees, and overtime labor necessarily incurred solely by Seller to
mitigate the impact on Powerwave of actual or impending late deliveries that are caused by Seller. If a late delivery, which is caused by Seller leads to a negative impact on Powerwave revenues or results in the imposition of a customer fee or
penalty, the parties will, in good faith, meet and discuss responsibility for the delay and mutually agree upon an appropriate financial accomodation. 
 
13.5 Powerwave and Seller shall mutually agree on the lead times required in the initial production order and the ramp up time required to comply
with the initial forecast for each Product. In addition, Seller and Powerwave shall review the supply chain for the Product to identify any long lead time items and issues with the production ramp for each Product. The parties shall meet and
mutually agree to a BOM analysis to establish standard lead-times. This should be done as part of the quarterly review. Seller shall identify items considered long-lead time items in the course of doing business and based on market conditions.
Seller shall review long-lead time item concerns for supply, inventory and cost contingency with Powerwave. Contingency arrangements, minimum purchase quantities, extended periods of purchase for supply, special safety stock and/or NCNR as hedging
for allocation or price 
 

15 

 
consideration on long-lead
time items shall be discussed between Seller and Powerwave on a routine basis monthly. All components that have a lead time greater than **(**) weeks, Materials that are non cancelable and non-returnable, or that have minimum order quantities will
be listed on Exhibit C to this Agreement. This Exhibit shall be updated periodically to reflect changes. 
 
13.6 Seller commits to maintain its ability to deliver the Products according to the flexibility parameters detailed below. The flexibility requirements define the quantity of Products above the
forecast level that Seller shall be ready to deliver. Seller shall maintain sufficient production capacity to handle a sustained increase of up **% per week in average weekly demand, provided Powerwave gives Seller one week prior written notice. For
increases that exceed the above flexibility, Seller and Powerwave shall agree upon production and delivery schedules on a case by case basis. 
 
14. Reschedule, Cancellation, Excess and Obsolete Materials 
 
14.1 Powerwave may delay or reschedule deliveries in advance of agreed delivery dates as follows, subject to the
availability of material purchased to support the forecast based on the VDS.

14.2
Cancellation: 
 
In the event of Powerwave’s cancellation
of Orders or decrease of forecasts, Powerwave’s liability shall be as follows: (i) if an Order or part thereof is cancelled within ** (**) Business Days of the original scheduled delivery date specified in such Order, Powerwave is liable for
100% of the current price of all finished Product in Seller’s possession plus work in process and the material acquisition cost and/or value add on the date the Order(s) (or any part thereof) was cancelled; (ii) for all cancelled or delayed
Orders 100% of the cost of all Material in Seller’s possession or on order including Obsolete and Excess Materials, which Seller is unable to mitigate in accordance with this Agreement; and (iii) any documented vendor cancellation charges
incurred by Seller with respect to Material that is accepted for cancellation or return by the Material vendor. Seller shall provide itemized detail of all vendor cancellation charges and the reasons for such charges. 
 
Notwithstanding the above, Powerwave’s maximum Material liability under
clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be ** weeks of Material based on the forecast as shown on the VDS at the date of cancellation or forecast 
 

16 

 
reduction, taking into account
minimum order quantities for Material, plus NCNR and long lead time material (up to the agreed lead time, provided that it is consistent with the VDS) provided the NCNR, minimum order quantities and long lead time purchases have been previously
approved by Powerwave as specified in Section 13.1. 
 
If Powerwave
cancels an order, reduces a forecast, or makes an engineering change, Seller shall use commercially reasonable mitigation measures and prudent material management techniques to minimize the impact of the cancellation, change or reduction in forecast
on Powerwave, including canceling outstanding orders for Material, returning Material to the supplier, and using the Material for other customers. In the event of a cancellation, change or reduction in forecast by Powerwave, Seller shall provide
supporting documentation for any charges it seeks to recover from Powerwave and Powerwave shall have the right to audit Seller’s books, records and premises in connection with such charges. 
 
14.3 “Excess” inventory means the increment of Seller’s
inventory of Material that cannot be consumed by Powerwave within six months as reflected on it most recent VDS. The inventory item in question is associated with an active program. “Obsolete” inventory means any increment that has no
planned usage or forecast shown on Powerwave’s VDS. 
 
The
Seller will provide Powerwave with written notification on or about the fifteenth (15) Calendar Day of the first month of each quarter of a list of Excess or Obsolete Materials. The notice shall list items of Material considered excess and/or
obsolete. Seller and Powerwave shall work in a cooperative manner to minimize any Excess or Obsolete Materials. 
 
14.4 Seller may purchase Material from Powerwave, on an as-needed basis, prior to purchasing Material or inventory from other third party vendors. The purchase price of Material or inventory
shall be at the cost reflected in the then current Product pricing or as otherwise agreed in writing. Powerwave will pass through the benefit of all Material supplier warranties to the Seller which it obtained in acquiring such Materials.

 
In an effort to avoid causing Materials acquired from Powerwave
to become Excess or Obsolete, Seller will use all reasonable efforts to consume the Materials purchased from Powerwave first before consuming Materials purchased from third parties. Also, the Seller will use all reasonable efforts to consume the
Excess and Obsolete Material that it is storing for Powerwave before ordering Materials from third parties. 
 
15. New Product Introduction (NPI). 
 
When Powerwave desires to launch a new Product and have it manufactured by Seller, the parties shall follow the new product introduction procedures outlined on Exhibit D. Such procedures relate to
requests for quotations, defining deliverables, schedules, milestones, quantities, testing, status reports and costs as well as Powerwave’s engineering development process, IT requirements for communicating engineering change orders, drawings,
bills of material and schematics.  
 
16. Tooling and
Consigned Equipment. 
 
16.1 Seller, at its own
expense, shall furnish, keep in good condition, calibrate, and replace when necessary all tools and test equipment (“Tools”) necessary for the production of the Products subject to this Agreement. If both parties agree Powerwave may be
entitled to take possession of and title to the Tools that are dedicated, custom and special for the production of the Products upon payment to Seller of a mutually agreed upon price. Any Tools paid for directly by Powerwave or funded through
another mechanism by Powerwave shall be returned to Powerwave. Upon reasonable notice, Powerwave may 
 

17 

 
require the return or transfer
of Tools or equipment that it owns, if any and Seller shall promptly comply with any such request. 
 
16.2 Powerwave may consign certain test equipment, tools (“Consigned Equipment”) to Seller to enable Seller to manufacture Products. The Tools and Consigned Equipment may not be used
to manufacture products for any party other than Powerwave and Seller agrees to not use any of the Tools and Consigned Equipment in the manufacture, testing, assembly or shipping of product for any third party. In addition, Seller shall not rent or
loan any of the Tools and Consigned Equipment to a third party or do any other act that would infringe the ownership rights of Powerwave. Seller, at its own cost, shall be responsible for providing scheduled maintenance and calibration of the Tools
and Consigned Equipment and the parties shall mutually agree upon who shall pay for major repairs to Consigned Equipment. Seller shall maintain proper and separate books and records for the Consigned Equipment. Seller shall exercise due care for the
Consigned Equipment and they will be stored in a manner that affords ready inspection and identification. Powerwave, may upon reasonable notice and subject to security requirements, request an inspection of the Consigned Equipment. Seller shall bear
the risk of loss of and damage to the Consigned Equipment while in its possession. Seller shall maintain proper and separate books and records for any Consigned Equipment. 
 
17. IT Systems Support. Seller agrees to facilitate the communication and system logic links of specific IT functions
and data bases with Powerwave systems including but not limited to quality and shop floor control systems, documentation and ECO control systems, advanced shipping notices and inventory and order management systems. Seller will conform to
information technology best practices to ensure the security of intellectual property both residing at Seller and communicated externally to/from Powerwave. Seller and Powerwave will jointly develop web based systems to improve communications.

 
18. Strategic Suppliers and Approved Manufacturers.

 
18.1 Seller will purchase materials to manufacture
Product for Powerwave per the Powerwave AML. Certain strategic Material and service providers will be identified by mutual agreement between the Seller and Powerwave. For these strategic suppliers, Powerwave will maintain account management
responsibilities, such as contracts, pricing, quality and business performance feed back and management, as well as corrective and remedial action management. For these strategic suppliers, Seller shall perform tactical duties as directed by
Powerwave, such as purchasing per the Powerwave/supplier contract, performing incoming inspections and tracking and supplying supplier quality and business performance data per Powerwave’s request. For non-strategic suppliers on the AML, Seller
will be responsible for all aspects of supplier management. In the event any supplier places certain components on allocation, Seller shall promptly notify Powerwave and work diligently to assure proper allocations for production for Powerwave.
Also, Seller shall promptly notify Powerwave in writing whenever a supplier announces “end-of-life” for a component. Powerwave and Seller will work in a cooperative effort to determine the most economic order quantity and when to make last
time buys for components based on such factors as cost to manufacture, component availability and inventory carrying costs. Both parties agree to track and measure the overall performance of the combined Powerwave and Seller supply chains and
discuss mutual performance and corrective or remedial actions at periodic business reviews. Key performance indicators and targets are to be agreed upon and shall include quality, flexibility, delivery and cost. 
 
18.2 Seller may not acquire any material or components that cost more
than the standard cost without Powerwave’s prior written consent. 
 
19. Disaster Recovery Plan. Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E is Seller’s disaster recovery plan or disaster recovery procedures (“Recovery Plan.”) The Recovery Plan defines the actions Seller

 

18 

 
shall take to resume
production of the Products as soon as possible after damage or destruction of Seller’s factory or other facilities or machinery, personnel, software, documentation and/or supply management. Such events include without limitation, fire, flood,
power shortage, earthquake or other events of force majuere. The Recovery Plan shall also include alternative processes for resuming production of the Products by opening an alternative facility or setting up the necessary equipment and assembly
lines in an existing factory of Seller.

license is in good standing and includes all necessary rights to permit Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to grant to Seller either directly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any
license or other right under any patents, patent applications, or non-patent rights owned by or licensed to Powerwave or its affiliates, except as necessary only for the limited purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement. Powerwave
and Seller may not use any IP of the other party for any other purpose.
