4.6                               Non-Cancelable Orders and NRE Cost.

 

4.6.1                     Non-Cancelable Orders. RED intends to purchase * million  units of the Products from CloudMinds. RED acknowledges that CloudMinds’ commitment to Product development, competitive pricing and cost transparency may include costs of R&D (exclusive ID), IPR, Certifications for open market, Materials Purchases and Manufacturing. RED therefore agrees that orders for at least * units in the First Year (“Non-Cancelable Orders”) are necessary to support such development costs. If RED does not meet the Non-Cancelable Orders quantity in the First Year, then the total amount owed by RED for the First Year will include Supplemental NRE payments as described in Section 4.6.3. To be clear, RED is under no binding obligation to purchase any units beyond the agreed Non- Cancellable Orders..

 

4.6.2                     Estimated NRE Cost. Both parties agree that Exhibit G represents the current best estimate of total NRE expenditure for the Product (“Estimated NRE Cost”), and that CloudMinds will not pay or commit to any new monthly expenditures in Exhibit G without prior approval by RED. Both parties agree to review and update Exhibit G on a monthly basis, whereby RED can also

 

7

 

approve, deny, or further deliberate on expenditure commitments commencing in the upcoming month (“Monthly NRE Review”). If RED does not approve or deny such monthly expenditures within three (3) working days after receiving the Monthly NRE Review minutes, any items awaiting RED approval will be automatically approved by default. CloudMinds shall not be liable for any delay caused by the Monthly NRE Review approval process and or new requests by RED.

 

4.6.3                     NRE Cost True-Up. Within thirty (30) days of paying for all line items in Exhibit G, CloudMinds will provide RED with the total actual costs for all such line items along with documented proof of such costs (“Actual NRE Cost”). RED and CloudMinds agree to then finalize the Non-Cancelable order quantity so that the aggregate Gross Margin on such quantity remains equal to the Actual NRE Cost. RED agrees that the Actual NRE Cost will be paid in full to CloudMinds with the sum of the following payments:

 

·                  Gross Margin throughout the First Year as defined in Section 6.1

·                  Supplemental NRE paid within whichever date is sooner:

 

·                  Fifteen (15) days after the First Year, or

·                  Fifteen (15) days after (i) RED notifies CloudMinds that all future monthly NRE expenditures will not be approved as per the process defined in Section 4.6.2 or that the Product is End of Life within the First Year and (ii) CloudMinds has supplied RED with documented proof of the Actual NRE Cost.

(referred to as the “Supplemental NRE” in either case).

 

Supplemental NRE Amount. RED does not owe Supplemental NRE if the aggregate quantity of Non-Cancelable Orders is surpassed in the First Year; otherwise the Supplemental NRE is equal to the Actual NRE Cost minus the Gross Margin on Purchase Orders in the First Year.

4.7                               Acceptance of Purchase Order. Purchase Orders will be deemed a firm offer from RED. No Purchase Order will be binding upon CloudMinds unless and until accepted by CloudMinds in a written or electronic acknowledgment delivered to RED (“Acknowledgement”). CloudMinds shall confirm in writing to RED within three (3) working days after receiving RED’s Purchase Order. CloudMinds will use its best efforts to accept the Purchase Order. CloudMinds shall issue related Purchase Order to the Manufacture within 3 working days after Acknowledgement.

 

4.8                               Changes to Purchase Orders. Any change to a Purchase Order requested by RED more than sixty (60) days prior to the Delivery Date will be accepted by CloudMinds; provided, however, if the requested change requires additional LLT Components and any other components that are not available on a timely basis, CloudMinds will inform RED of all additional costs to meet RED’s request, or the best alternative to meet RED’s request. If the requested change reduces the number of LLT Components and any other components, CloudMinds will hold the excess amount of these Components for future Purchase Orders unless otherwise directed by RED. The storage period for such excess amount of components shall be not exceed sixty (60) days. Otherwise, RED shall compensate the actual additional storage cost of CloudMinds. Any change to a Purchase Order requested by RED less than sixty (60) days prior to the Delivery Date must be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in written or electronic notifications, and may require a change in fees reflecting the inclusion, deletion or substitution of Products, as well as the actual cost additionally incurred by CloudMinds as agreed between the Parties. RED will pay for long lead time or other components not sourced by Manufacturer. All items not sourced by Manufacturer must be approved by RED.

 

4.9                               Cancellation of Purchase Orders. If RED cancels a Purchase Order at least sixty (60) days prior to the requested Delivery Date, CloudMinds will, upon receipt of such written notice of cancellation, immediately stop work on the cancelled Purchase Order. However, the cost on the Long Lead-time Components listed in Exhibit B of the Purchase Order are non-cancellable. In the event of such cancellation, CloudMinds has the right to deduct the Down Payment of cancelled orders for reimbursing the Long Lead-time Component cost and any other actual cost incurred in manufacturing the Products prior to cancellation. CloudMinds will hold such Long Lead-time Components and the work in progress (if any) for future Purchase Orders unless otherwise directed by RED. If the Down Payment is not enough to reimburse CloudMinds’ actual Long Lead-time Component cost and other actual cost, RED agrees to reimburse CloudMinds for the shortfall.

 

4.10                        Rescheduling of Purchase Orders. RED may request only for one time  per order the rescheduling of the shipment of all or part of any Purchase Order to a date later than the originally scheduled Delivery Date only if CloudMinds receives written

 

9

 

notice more than thirty (30) days in advance of the originally scheduled Delivery Date for the Products. In addition, such rescheduled Delivery Date shall not be later than 20 days from the original Delivery Date; if the new Delivery Date is beyond this period, CloudMinds will provide RED the total costs that would be incurred for rescheduling, and RED will decide and inform CloudMinds of its final decision. If RED decides to reschedule, RED agrees to pay CloudMinds the mutually agreed costs.

 

With regard to the foregoing Sections 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 (changes, cancellation or rescheduling a Purchase Order), the charges to RED defined for items such as  storage, change and expediting fees, including manufacturing overtime if applicable, and all associated costs, will not apply if CloudMinds is late on its scheduled delivery date and RED’s customer changed, cancelled or rescheduled a Purchase Order due to the late delivery date. CloudMinds will also be responsible to pay all penalties and fees charged by RED’s customer in accordance with Clause 5.1, unless the root cause of the late shipment is caused by a RED Consigned part. RED will share with CloudMinds appropriate customer terms, and CloudMinds and RED agree to collaborate to mitigate late delivery shipments via advanced notification or other methods that a RED customer may permit.

CloudMinds will permit RED to enter its premises, at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting and testing units of the Product and to check the materials and method of manufacture, assembly, labeling, testing and packaging in order to ensure that the same conform to the Specifications and the requirements of this Agreement. CloudMinds, without additional charge, will provide reasonable assistance to RED to facilitate these inspections. If CloudMinds experiences problems with its suppliers which result in delays or inability to deliver Products to RED or result in epidemic failures as described below, then CloudMinds will notify and work with RED to remedy these problems. CloudMinds is responsible for any defect or other failure in the Products to meet the Specifications and requirements of this Agreement. RED may inspect Products delivered to it at any time. RED will use its best efforts to cooperate with CloudMinds in mitigating any quality issues that result from any defects caused by RED vendors.

 

Epidemic Failure. CloudMinds warrants that the Product, exclusive of consumable materials and RED Consigned Components and Materials, shall meet a failure rate of two percent (2%) or less for a single failure mode, and four percent (4%) or less in the aggregate within the first 6 months after the Mass Production Volume Sales; after the foregoing first 6 months hereof, shall meet a failure rate of one percent (1%) or less for a single failure mode, and two percent (2%) or less in the aggregate. If RED finds that the Product does not conform to this quality requirement, or a RED customer requires these Products to be recalled, or the Product for four (4) consecutive months has been proven to exhibit the substantially same major functional, mechanical, or appearance defect, RED will notify CloudMinds. CloudMinds will then determine the cause of the non-conformance and work with RED to develop a mutually agreed corrective action plan and will implement that plan to correct the defect. In event of

 

11

 

the non-conformance caused by CloudMinds, CloudMinds will provide RED with regular progress reports of the corrective action until the defect is corrected. RED may return affected Products that CloudMinds shipped in the past fifteen (15) months for rework and re-inspection. CloudMinds will perform all necessary rework or replacement of the defective Products at CloudMinds’ expense, including reasonable expenses caused by RED customer fees or penalties and all Product transportation costs to receive from and deliver to RED, provided that RED shall provide its written agreements with such customers evidencing the penalty fees or other RED costs in advance for CloudMinds’ prior acknowledgement. In event that  the  Epidemic Failure is caused by Workmanship or Materials provided by the Manufacturer, Suppliers or Subcontracts, such Manufacturer, Suppliers or Subcontracts shall be liable for such Epidemic Failure and take necessary corrective actions at their cost. CloudMinds shall assign and pass-through Manufacturer/Suppliers’ warranty to RED and provide necessary assistance and support to implement the corrective action plan agreed by parties.

 

CloudMinds shall provide to RED statistical process control data on critical processes and yield and failure analysis reports detailing the cause of the failure. CloudMinds shall provide these reports to RED in a format and frequency mutually agreed upon by CloudMinds and RED.

RED shall place the last time buy Product(s) Purchase Order in one (1) month before the end of production date mentioned in such notice. If RED does not place last time buy Products Purchase Order timely, RED shall be liable to the shortage of Product(s) solely.

 

4.14                        Subscriber Data. CloudMinds agrees that with each repair performed, CloudMinds shall provide RED with confirmation all Subscriber Data has been removed from the Product. In the event any unit repaired by CloudMinds still contains Subscriber Data or any non-standard data, then CloudMinds will issue a performance compensation payment to RED equal to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per unit, payable as a line item credit on the following month’s repair invoice that RED may incur with CloudMinds, or otherwise a reduction in the amount RED owes CloudMinds on the next final payment of an open PO. RED will transparently share this requirement with

 

12

 

CloudMinds from RED’s customers. If RED can negotiate a reduction in the penalty,  RED will immediately inform CloudMinds and apply this updated penalty.

 

5.                                      SHIPPING

 

5.1                               Delivery Term. CloudMinds shall ship out the Products indicated in Purchase Order within ninety (90) days after receiving the Down Payment from RED.

6.                                      PRICING

 

6.1                               The Calculation Method of the Final Price of Products. Both parties agree that the Final Price of the Products (FPP) will be determined using a method of cost transparency, including the manufacturing (MVA) cost and each cost in the BOM, MVA, LRP, Gross Margin and applicable Taxes. The Final Price of Products shall be calculated based on the Products Transfer Price (PTP) plus Gross Margin (GM), which will vary based on the Total Order Volume (TOV), where the definitions of the above terminologies are as follows:

 

·                  Products Transfer Price = BOM + MVA + LRP+ applicable Taxes

 

·                  BOM = Bill of Materials (all material cost).

 

·                  MVA     =     Manufacturing Value Added   (all manufacturing cost + manufacturer’s profit).

 

·                  LRP = Third-party license fees, royalty payments, and any other fees, which shall be equal to CloudMinds’ out-of-pocket cost for any licenses or use of any third party Technology.

 

·                  Applicable Taxes (if required by the government or policy from time to time)

 

·                  Gross Margin equals to the percentage corresponding to the applicable TOV range listed below:

 

	
 
    	
TOV Range
   (aggregated throughout the term)
    	
 
    	
Gross
   Margin
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
For any order   placed when the TOV is less than * million units (including the   Non-Cancellable Order);
    	
 
    	
*
    	
%
    
	
 
    	
For any order   placed after TOV exceeds * million but is less than * million units;
    	
 
    	
*
    	
%
    
	
 
    	
For any order   placed after TOV exceeds * million but is less than * million units;
    	
 
    	
*
    	
%
    
	
 
    	
For any order   placed after TOV exceeds * million
    	
 
    	
*
    	
%
    

 

14

 

·                                         FPP = PTP / (1 — GM) (the “Calculation Method”)

 

(e.g. PTP = 75, GM = 25%, then FPP = 100)

 

Calculation Notes:

 

·                                          The Final Products Price for each unit in any purchase order shall be in conformity with the Calculation Method above.

 

·                                          TOV will be cumulatively calculated throughout the term of this Agreement.

 

·                                          The Gross Margin rate shall apply only to the units that fall within the corresponding TOV range. For clarity, a Gross Margin Rate corresponding to a higher TOV range will not retroactively apply to any order already placed at a lower TOV range. For example, if in year one (1) the TOV is 1.5 million units, then the Gross Margin is * percent (*%) for all these 1.5 million units. And if in year two (2), RED purchased another 1.5 million units, then the TOV is three (3) million. In this case, the Gross Margin for the first 0.5 million units will be * percent (*%), and the Gross Margin for the remaining one (1) million will be * percent (*%).

 

6.2                               Pricing Review. The parties will review pricing quarterly or on an as-needed basis. CloudMinds will use its best efforts to reduce the pricing, and will always provide most favored nations pricing to RED. Specifically, during the Term of this Agreement, CloudMinds shall provide terms and conditions (pricing and otherwise) with respect to the manufacturing of the Products (or similar Products) that, when taken as a whole, are no less favorable to RED than those offered by CloudMinds to any other customer on a worldwide basis irrespective of volume commitments. If CloudMinds grants to any third party pricing and/or other material terms (taken as a whole) with respect to the manufacturing of Products that are more favorable than the pricing and/or other material terms (taken as a whole) offered to RED pursuant to this Agreement, then CloudMinds shall promptly make such more favorable pricing and terms available to RED, which shall be made effective as of the date first offered to the other party. Upon request, CloudMinds shall provide RED with a written statement to the effect that it is in compliance with this Section. Thirty (30) days after the expiration of each calendar quarter, CloudMinds shall provide RED with a current bill of materials from its suppliers for each Product, together with all other reasonably necessary information, to demonstrate compliance with this section. RED shall have the right to audit such bill of materials and other information upon its request.

 

CloudMinds will provide a budgetary quote to RED prior to execution of this Agreement. Such quote shall include all details as outlined in 4.6 and 6.1, including any China applicable tax. Additionally, CloudMinds in conjunction with its manufacturer and RED will perform a comprehensive Total Landed Cost (TLC) analysis for the Product landed in Long Beach, CA.
