		  	CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT	  	EXECUTION COPY

AGREEMENT IN SUPPORT OF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 
 General Motors Holdings LLC, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “GM”) and Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc., on behalf of itself and its
subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Supplier”) enter into this Agreement in Support of Development Program (the “Agreement”) on February 14, 2011 (the “Effective Date”). GM and Supplier are collectively
referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually, as a “Party”. 
 RECITALS 

A. GM is prepared to issue to Supplier purchase orders for the engineering, design, development and supply of certain hydrogen storage
systems and/or components (collectively, the “Purchase Orders”). For clarity, the Purchase Orders will also include all purchase orders issued by GM to Supplier before the Effective Date. 

B. GM and Supplier desire to enter into this Agreement and the Access and Security Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the “Access Agreement”), in furtherance of the successful completion of the development and production programs contemplated under the Purchase Orders. 
 WHEREFORE, based on the foregoing recitals and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
  

	1.	Term. Unless extended by the Parties’ written agreement, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and absent the occurrence of
an Event of Default (as defined below) continue through and including the earlier of: (i) the expiration, termination or cancellation date of the last of the Purchase Orders and Subsequent Purchase Orders (as defined below) other than due to an
Event of Default; (ii) Supplier experiences (a) positive operating income for four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, as such measure is reported in Supplier’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations filed as and when
required with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and (b) positive cash flow from operations for two (2) out of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, as such measure is reported in Supplier’s Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows filed as and when required with the SEC; provided, further that the Supplier’s total cumulative cash flow from operations over the same consecutive four quarter period is also positive; (iii) if
Supplier successfully completes the development phase of the program, but is not selected by GM as the production supplier of the Component Parts (as defined below), so long as Supplier has satisfied all of its obligations in respect of the
development of the Component Parts, then the date on which GM provides Supplier with notice that Supplier was not selected; and (iv) such other date as the Parties may mutually agree (the first to occur, the “Term”). Any terms set
forth in this Agreement that apply to the Purchase Orders, any Subsequent Purchase Order, if any, or the Component Parts or that otherwise by their context are intended to continue in effect after expiration or termination of the Term will continue
in effect after expiration or termination of the Term. 

	2.	 Purchase Order Issuance. Upon Supplier’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, GM will issue to Supplier one or more Purchase
Order(s). In addition to the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Orders incorporate certain additional terms and conditions of purchase that relate to the Purchase Orders being issued by GM to Supplier, including, without limitation, GM’s
General Terms and Conditions of Purchase (including as supplemented by GM’s Additional Purchase Order Terms and Conditions for Engineering, Design and Development Services attached hereto as Exhibit B, which terms and conditions apply
only to those purchase orders relating to the provision of engineering, design, and development services), which Supplier agrees will govern all Purchase Orders and Subsequent Purchase Orders, as defined below (collectively, “General
Terms”). To the extent of a conflict between the terms of the Purchase Orders and/or the Subsequent Purchase Orders, as the case may be, and this Agreement, the terms in this Agreement shall control. Supplier may transfer substantially all of
the assets used in the performance of its obligations under the Purchase Orders and Subsequent Purchase Orders to a wholly owned subsidiary subject to the following: (i) the transferee satisfies the requirements of a Permitted Subsidiary (as
defined below); (ii) this Agreement, the Access Agreement, the Purchase Orders and the Subsequent Purchase Orders, if any, will be transferred to and acknowledged and accepted by the Permitted Subsidiary; and (iii) Supplier provides GM
with a minimum of 20 business days written notice of such transfer and sufficient information for GM to confirm that the transfer is to a Permitted Subsidiary and the provisions of (ii) above are satisfied. If GM confirms within such twenty
business day time frame that the above conditions have been satisfied, then GM agrees that it will consent to Supplier’s assignment of this Agreement, the Access Agreement and each of the Purchase Orders and Subsequent Purchase Orders, as the
case may be, as long as such assignment does not impair GM’s rights hereunder or thereunder.1 

  

	3.	Subsequent Purchase Order(s). After the Effective Date, GM may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, issue to Supplier additional purchase orders
(each a “Subsequent Purchase Order”) related to the engineering, design, development and supply of hydrogen storage systems and/or components for the first generation of hydrogen fuel storage systems and/or components. With respect to any
such Subsequent Purchase Orders accepted by Supplier, Supplier agrees that in addition to the terms set forth in any Subsequent Purchase Order(s), such Subsequent Purchase Order(s) will, in all respects, be subject to this Agreement and the General
Terms, including any amendments to address issues unique to the Subsequent Purchase Orders (e.g. Milestones, etc.). 

  

 

	1	 For purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Subsidiary means a subsidiary that (a) Supplier adequately capitalizes and (b) possesses the
appropriate management, business plan and required personnel to effect the operation and management of the subsidiary in order to perform fully under this Agreement, the Purchase Orders or the Subsequent Purchase Orders, as the case may be, all of
the above as determined by GM in its reasonable discretion. 

  
 2 

	4.	Milestones; Time for Performance. Supplier shall timely achieve the technical milestones set forth on Exhibit C (the “Milestones”). Upon
GM’s request, Supplier will review with GM its progress in completing the Milestones, which review will include discussing the Milestones that Supplier has completed and the percentage of completion for any Milestones that have not yet been
completed. Supplier will immediately provide GM written notice if Supplier’s performance under this Agreement, the Purchase Orders, or any Subsequent Purchase Order is delayed or is likely to be delayed, as the case may be, and GM’s
acceptance of Supplier’s notice will not constitute a waiver of any of Supplier’s obligations or any of GM’s rights and remedies relating thereto. To the extent Supplier’s failure to satisfy timely a Milestone is a direct and
proximate result of GM’s action(s) or omission(s), as the case may be, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, Supplier, in each case, must advise GM in writing within five (5) business days of
the date of such Milestone of the specific actions or inactions of GM that caused Supplier’s inability to perform. 

  

	5.	Access. During the Term, GM will have full and complete access to Supplier’s facilities and books and records during regular business hours upon
reasonable advance notice, or outside of regular business hours upon reasonable request, to monitor compliance with the terms of the Agreement and any other agreement between GM and Supplier, including without limitation, the Purchase Orders and any
Subsequent Purchase Orders, if issued; provided, however, that such access shall not interfere with Supplier’s ability to conduct business in a regular and usual manner. 

 

	6.	Tooling Acknowledgement. 

  

	 	(A)	GM Tooling. For purposes of this Agreement, “Tooling” means all tooling, dies, test and assembly fixtures, jigs, gauges, patterns, casting patterns,
cavities, molds, and related documentation (including, without limitation, engineering specifications, PPAP books, and test reports), together with any accessions, attachments, parts, accessories, substitutions, replacements, and appurtenances.
Supplier acknowledges that, excluding Unpaid Tooling and Supplier Tooling (each as defined below), all Tooling paid for or supplied by GM for use by Supplier solely in connection with the manufacture, assembly, or transportation of the Component
Parts is owned by GM and is being held by Supplier or one or more third parties (to the extent transferred by Supplier to third parties) as GM’s bailees-at-will (collectively, “GM Tooling”). “Supplier Tooling” means Tooling
that is neither GM Tooling nor Unpaid Tooling. “Unpaid Tooling” means Tooling for which GM has issued a purchase order and has not paid the applicable purchase order price. If GM or its designee, as the case may be, pays the amounts due
and owing for any item of Unpaid Tooling, such item will be GM Tooling for all purposes under this Agreement. Within 30 days following the Parties’ execution of this Agreement, Supplier shall provide GM will a complete list of all GM Tooling.

  
 3 

	 	(B)	Rights With Respect to GM Tooling. Neither Supplier nor any other person or entity other than GM has any right, title, nor interest in the GM Tooling other than
Supplier’s right, subject to GM’s unfettered discretion, to use the GM Tooling to manufacture, assemble, or transport parts in accordance with the Purchase Orders. GM and its designee(s) have the right to take possession of GM Tooling at
any time, without notice, court order, commencement of court proceedings, or payment of any kind to Supplier. At GM’s request, Supplier will cooperate fully with GM in GM’s taking possession of GM Tooling, including, without limitation:
(a) providing GM or its designee(s) with access to Supplier’s manufacturing operations to inspect current production processes; (b) providing GM or its designee(s) with access to Supplier’s facilities to inspect, prepare to
transport, and remove GM Tooling, including access to Supplier’s books and records relating to GM Tooling; and (c) assisting GM or its designee(s), at GM’s cost (except following an Event of Default, in which case it shall be at
Supplier’s cost), in preparing, loading, and removing GM Tooling from Supplier’s facilities, including allowing GM to utilize Supplier’s employees, machinery, and equipment as reasonably necessary to remove GM Tooling.
Supplier authorizes GM to record on Supplier’s behalf any notice or financing statements concerning GM Tooling if GM determines that such statements are reasonably necessary to reflect GM’s interests in the GM Tooling. Supplier authorizes
GM to affix any plate, stamp, or other evidence of GM’s ownership upon each item of GM Tooling. 

  

	 	(C)	Disputed Tooling. If there is a dispute over whether any Tooling is GM Tooling, Unpaid Tooling, or Supplier Tooling, as the case may be, the Tooling subject to
the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration or such other alternative dispute resolution process mutually agreed upon by the Parties. 

  

	 	(D)	Tooling List. Except for Tooling owned by a third party, all Tooling that has been, is, or may be used to manufacture, assemble, or transport parts for GM and
that is not included on the Tooling List will be deemed GM Tooling. If Supplier fails to provide the Tooling List within the time specified, all Tooling in Supplier’s possession, custody or control, other than Tooling owned by a third party,
will be deemed GM Tooling. GM reserves the right to dispute the status of the Tooling on the Tooling List and to dispute the amounts allegedly owing with respect to the Unpaid Tooling. If GM disputes the Tooling List, Supplier and GM will meet and
attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. If Supplier and GM cannot resolve the dispute within 15 business days after GM’s receipt of the Tooling List, GM and Supplier will submit the matter to a jointly selected third party for expedited
resolution. Until the parties resolve the dispute, all Tooling on the Tooling List will be treated as Disputed Tooling. 

  
 4 

	 	(E)	Rights Nonexclusive. The rights and obligations contained in this Section are in addition to and not in lieu of GM’s rights under the Purchase Orders, the
General Terms, other agreements between GM and Supplier, and applicable law, and will continue in effect notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement. To the extent that GM’s General Terms and this Agreement conflict, this
Agreement’s terms will control. 

  

	7.	Option. 

  

	 	(A)	Supplier grants to GM an irrevocable and exclusive option (“Option”) to purchase any Supplier Owned Tooling, any returnable containers or dunnage
(“Production Material”), and any machinery or equipment and related or ancillary items which are owned by Supplier and dedicated to the performance by Supplier of its obligations under the Purchase Orders or Subsequent Purchase Orders, as
the case may be (“Dedicated Equipment”), for a price (i) equal to, in the case of Dedicated Equipment, the orderly liquidation value as determined by an independent third party appraisal firm (on which the parties mutually agree), or
in the case of Production Material, net book value, in each case on the date GM exercises the Option; or (ii) agreed to by Supplier and GM. In the event the Dedicated Equipment is used by Supplier for production for another customer, Supplier
will identify such customer to GM, after which GM may contact Supplier’s other customer(s) and request such other customer’s consent to GM’s exercise of the Option in respect of such Dedicated Equipment. The below time frame within
which GM must excise the Option will be extended during any period during which GM is seeking consent from Supplier’s other customer(s); provided, however, GM shall have a period of 60 days (or such longer time frame to which the parties agree)
following Supplier’s written notification to Customer of the identity and contact information of Supplier’s other customer(s) with which to seek and obtain such other customer’s consent. 

 

	 	(B)	 An Option may be exercised, by written notice given to Supplier, only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Option will remain open until the
30th day following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
More than one Option may be exercised, and Options may be exercised on more than one occasion and concerning any, some or all of the Dedicated Equipment, in each case, subject to the 30-day limitation described above. The Parties agree to cooperate
in good faith to develop a list of the Dedicated Equipment. 

  

	 	(C)	 Any Dedicated Equipment purchased under this subsection (C) will be free and clear of the Lender’s security interests and liens and on the
date of purchase, GM must be otherwise reasonably satisfied that the sale is free and clear. GM will also be granted (for no additional consideration) a 

  
 5 

	 	 
non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, irrevocable, perpetual and fully transferable worldwide license to use all Intellectual Property (defined below) necessary to use and maintain the
Dedicated Equipment, such license hereinafter referred to as the “Equipment License”, and derivatives, modifications and replacements thereof, free and clear of the Lender’s security interests and liens; provided, however, nothing is
intended to expand upon the grant of License set forth at Section 8.1. This subsection (C) is not intended to limit any rights granted to GM under its Purchase Orders, including rights concerning licensing and other Intellectual Property,
but is intended to expand those rights. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement may be construed as an admission by GM of the validity of Supplier’s claimed rights to Intellectual Property, including an admission that a license is required by GM to
make, have made, sell, offer for sale and/or import its Component Parts. GM will handle the Intellectual Property in accordance with the same practices employed by GM to safeguard its own intellectual property against unauthorized use and
disclosure. 

  

	8.	Intellectual Property. 

  

	 	8.1	 Grant of License. Supplier hereby grants to GM and its assignee(s) or designee(s), (a) an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid,
worldwide nonexclusive license to the Intellectual Property (as defined below) owned by Supplier and necessary for the manufacture of the Component Parts (as defined below), (b) a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, irrevocable, perpetual,
worldwide license to use all Intellectual Property necessary (i) to use and maintain the Dedicated Equipment and/or (ii) to make, have made, use, produce, manufacture, assemble, package, distribute, import and export, offer to sell, and
sell any products under any stage of development subject to the Purchase Orders or Subsequent Purchase Orders (“Component Parts”) and (c) to the extent it is capable, an irrevocable sublicense to the Intellectual Property licensed to
Supplier (to the extent that Supplier has the right to grant these sublicenses) to make, have made, use, have used, modify, improve, prepare derivative works of, distribute, display, offer to sell, sell, import and do all other things and exercise
all other rights in the licensed or sublicensed Intellectual Property for production of the Component Parts for GM (the “License”). GM’s License also includes the right to grant one or more third-party sublicenses for the production,
manufacture, assembly, packaging, distribution, import and export, and sale of Component Parts for the duration of any program life of the Component Parts and any past model service obligations for so long as GM has such obligations under contract
or otherwise applicable law to provide past model service parts. For purposes of clarity, the License shall extend to Component Parts fully or partially developed under GM’s Purchase Orders and/or supplied or to be supplied under GM’s
Purchase Orders (as such purchase orders may be modified, amended or extended) and Subsequent Purchase Orders, as the case may be. This Section 7 is not intended to limit any rights granted to GM under the Purchase Orders, including rights
concerning licensing and other Intellectual Property, but is 

  
 6 

	 	 
intended to expand those rights. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement may be construed as an admission by GM of the validity of Supplier’s claimed rights to Intellectual Property, including
an admission that a license is required by GM to make, have made, sell, offer for sale and/or import the Component Parts. GM will handle the Intellectual Property in accordance with the same practices employed by GM to safeguard its intellectual
property against unauthorized use and disclosure. Although Supplier has granted GM the License as of the Effective Date, GM and its designee, as the case may be, will not use the License unless and until the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
defined herein). 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default should occur prior to issuance of a
production purchase order to Supplier for the first production application of the Component Parts, then the License granted above shall not be royalty-free and fully-paid, but shall be automatically converted to a royalty-bearing license with
compensation owed to Supplier as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	A one-time lump sum payment of two million U.S. dollars to be paid within sixty (60) days of Start of Regular Production (SORP) of the first production vehicle
incorporating the Component Parts; and 

  

	 	(ii)	Commencing for Component Parts shipped on or after 90 days from SORP, a one percent royalty on the purchase price paid by GM for the Component Parts for use in regular
production to be paid to Supplier by GM or its designee(s) on a quarterly basis. 

 For purposes of clarity, there
will be no compensation of any kind owed by GM for the grant of the License above except as set forth above in this Article 8.1 and then only to the extent GM or its designee utilizes such License. 

 

	 	8.2	Intellectual Property. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Intellectual Property” means (a) all currently existing registered and
applied-for intellectual property owned by Supplier (including, without limitation, all patents, patent applications, trademark registrations, trademark applications, copyright registrations, and copyright applications), (b) all agreements for
intellectual property licensed to Supplier, and (c) any other intellectual property used in or to produce Component Parts (whether or not the intellectual property is identified, including, without limitation, unregistered copyrights,
inventions, discoveries, trade secrets and designs, and regardless of whether those items are registerable or patentable in the future, and all related documents and software), which Supplier directly or indirectly sells to GM.

  

	9.	Access Agreement. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Supplier will execute and deliver the Access Agreement, including
executed copies of all consents thereto. 

  
 7 

	10.	Creditor Consents. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Supplier will obtain and deliver to GM the acknowledgement and consent
of WB QT, LLC (“Lender”) and any other secured creditor that holds a security interest in the real or personal property of Supplier to the Tooling Acknowledgment, the Option, the Equipment License, the License and the Access Agreement, in
each case, in form and content acceptable to GM in its sole discretion, which remains in full force and effect. 

  

	11.	Inventory Bank. Should GM issue to Supplier a Subsequent Purchase Order, at GM’s request, and subject to Supplier’s reasonable internal capacity
limitations, Supplier will build an inventory bank of Component Parts (the “Inventory Bank Parts”) for GM or GM’s designee. Supplier will ship Inventory Bank Parts as directed by GM or GM’s designee as they are produced and
according to the terms of the applicable Purchase Order(s). GM will reimburse Supplier for the incremental costs that Supplier reasonably incurs in connection with building and shipping the Inventory Bank Parts, including, without limitation,
overtime costs, special packaging costs, and handling costs, as applicable (the “Incremental Bank Costs”), provided that such Incremental Bank Costs are approved by GM in advance and in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. 

  

	12.	Assistance Upon the Occurrence of an Event of Default. 

  

	 	(A)	Resourcing Preparation. At GM’s request, Supplier will provide GM with all information that is reasonably necessary for GM to prepare to resource
production under one or more of the Purchase Orders to an alternative supplier(s) (a “Resourcing”), including copies of tool line-ups, tool processing sheets, routings, bills of materials (including vendor contact information), PPAP
packages, tool and engineering drawings, CAD data/drawings, vehicle-integration algorithms, lists of returnable containers, and all other general validation and test data. 

 

	 	(B)	Resourcing Cooperation. Supplier will assist and cooperate with GM in connection with any Resourcing, including, without limitation, by providing GM and its
agents, representatives, designees, consultants, officers, employees, and successor suppliers with: 

  

	 	(i)	access to Supplier’s manufacturing operations to inspect current production processes; 

 

	 	(ii)	access to Supplier’s facilities to inspect, prepare to transport, and remove GM Tooling (defined below), including access to Supplier’s books and records
relating to GM Tooling; 

  

	 	(iii)	assistance (at Supplier’s cost) in preparing, loading, and removing GM Tooling (defined below) from Supplier’s facilities, including allowing GM to utilize
Supplier’s employees, machinery, and equipment as reasonably necessary to remove GM Tooling; and 

  
 8 

	 	(iv)	technical assistance in respect of the Supplier’s processes relating to the development, design and manufacturing of the product. 

 

	 	(C)	Right to Employ Supplier Employees. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, GM or its designee may enter into discussions with any employee of Supplier who
prior to or at the time of the occurrence of an Event of Default has been materially involved with Supplier’s performance under the Purchase Orders for the purpose of entering into an employment arrangement between such employee and GM or its
designee. 

 Supplier will cooperate fully with any reasonable request by GM to make such employee available to
meet with GM or its designee, will relieve such employee of any obligations under any employment arrangement with Supplier and take no action to impair nor inhibit GM’s discussions or entering into employment agreements between GM and such
employee(s). 
  

	13.	Financial Information and Reporting. Supplier will provide to GM all financial information and monthly reports as are reasonably requested by GM.

  

	14.	Reservation of Rights. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties reserve and do not waive any claims, rights and remedies
that they individually may have under the Purchase Orders, the Agreement and any other agreements between the parties and/or otherwise applicable law, and the parties expressly reserve all such claims, rights and remedies they have under this
Agreement, any Purchase Orders, or any other agreements between the parties and/or otherwise applicable law. 

  

	15.	Event of Default/Remedies. 

  

	 	15.1	Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following will be an “Event of Default” under this Agreement, unless a waiver or deferral
is agreed to in writing by GM: 

  

	 	(A)	Supplier repudiates or commits a breach of its obligations, or refuses to perform, its obligations under this Agreement (other than the failure to satisfy a Milestone
in respect of which sub-section (G) below applies) or any of the Purchase Orders or Subsequent Purchase Orders, as the case may be, and fails to cure such breach within ten business days following receipt of written notice from GM describing
the breach and the steps that Supplier must take in order to cure such breach; provided, however, if the breach results in a likelihood of interruption of GM’s assembly operations, the above cure period shall not apply and the breach shall
constitute an immediate Event of Default; 

  

	 	(B)	A Chapter 11 petition is filed under the United States Bankruptcy Code by or against Supplier and is subsequently converted to a case under Chapter 7; or a Chapter 7
petition is filed by or against Supplier and an order for relief is entered in the Chapter 7 case without the case being converted to a case under Chapter 11 within 30 days of the filing of an involuntary petition; or a receiver or assignee for the
benefit of creditors is appointed to oversee Supplier’s assets. 

  
 9 

	 	(C)	Any secured or lien creditor commences a repossession or foreclosure action against a material portion of the operating assets of Supplier. 

 

	 	(D)	A “default” or “event of default” occurs under the Loan Documents and the Lender ceases forbearing from taking action to enforce its rights relating
to such default and/or event of default subject to a written forbearance agreement that has expired or been terminated by Lender. 

  

	 	(E)	Lender takes enforcement action against Supplier’s assets. 

  

	 	(F)	An event of default occurs under the Access Agreement. 

  

	 	(G)	Supplier fails to timely meet any one or more of the Milestones after application of the following cure periods: (1) for any Milestone with a date of completion
during 2011, a thirty-day cure period will apply; (2) for any Milestone with a date of completion during 2012, a fifteen-day cure period will apply; and (3) for any Milestone with a date of completion during 2013, a five-day cure period
will apply. Each applicable cure period will begin on the date on which the Milestone was to be completed by Supplier in accordance with Exhibit C, as the same may be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

  

	 	15.2	Remedies. Should an Event of Default occur, such Event of Default shall in addition to constituting an Event of Default under this Agreement, constitute a breach
of the Purchase Orders or Subsequent Purchase Orders, as the case may be, and GM may elect to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to GM under this Agreement, the Purchase Orders, the Subsequent Purchase Orders and applicable law.

  

	16.	Additional GM Consideration. As additional consideration for Supplier’s execution of this Agreement and the Access Agreement, GM agrees to the
following: 

  

	 	16.1	Target Supplier. Absent an Event of Default during the development phase of the program, if GM decides to take the Component Parts to production, then GM agrees
that it will use Supplier as its production supplier of the Component Part, subject to Supplier’s demonstration at the time of the production award of Component Parts that its proposal meets or exceeds GM’s then current and applicable
standards for quality, service, delivery, technology and price, in each case, as determined by GM in its sole discretion, as set forth in the GM Statement of Requirements and Request for Quote documents, in each case, as those documents may have
been amended through and including the date on which GM makes the production award. 

  
 10 

	17.	General Terms. 

  

	 	17.1	Authorization. The individuals executing this Agreement warrant that they have the corporate power and authority to execute this Agreement and this Agreement has
been duly authorized by the Parties.

	 	17.4	No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Unenforceability. No Party shall by any act, delay, indulgence, omission, or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy under this Agreement or of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. A waiver by any Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which that Party
would otherwise have had on a subsequent occasion. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement, by any Party shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by any other agreements or applicable law. Should any provision of this Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected thereby.

  

	 	17.5	Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified, or amended except by a written
instrument, duly executed by the Parties. This Agreement and all of the Parties’ obligations are binding upon their respective successors and assigns, and together with the rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement, inure to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Supplier may not assign or transfer any right or obligation under this Agreement without the prior written consent of GM.

	1.1	Seller agrees to provide services (“Services”) to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Order and the statement of work or statement of
requirements provided by Buyer (“Statement of Work”). The Statement of Work contains a detailed description of Services Seller will perform, the work product and other materials that Seller will deliver to Buyer (the
“Deliverables”), and the time when the Deliverables will be provided. 

  

	1.2	Seller will be compensated for Services as set forth in the Statement of Work, but not to exceed the amount set forth on the face of this Purchase Order, without
Buyer’s prior written approval. In addition and only if expressly permitted in the Statement of Work, Buyer may reimburse reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and subcontracted costs associated with the Services, provided such costs

	2.	Invoicing; Payment 

  

	2.1	Following the provision of services, Seller shall submit an invoice in accordance with the Statement of Work. If requested in the Statement of Work or otherwise by
Buyer, Seller shall submit with each invoice for payment, a progress report specifying the milestones or phases that have been completed against the Statement of Work. In those cases where a milestone or phase has not been completed the Seller shall
submit to Buyer the work performed during the period and the percentage of each milestone or phase that has been completed. Any delay in the submission of such progress report by Seller shall cause a corresponding delay in the payment obligation
date of Buyer. 

  

	2.2	The payment term is set forth elsewhere in the contract or if not stated, shall be Net 60, with disbursements occurring on a weekly payment cycle. Payment will be
triggered upon Buyer’s receipt of a valid invoice.

engineering language of all design data furnished by Seller to Buyer hereunder, including all engineering releases and engineering change requests. 

  

	3.2	Buyer shall have the right to demand changes to the performances specified in this Purchase Order (hereinafter “Changes”), including but not limited to
Changes based on modifications of the specifications set forth in Statement of Work. 

  

	3.3	To the extent that the Changes do not require a substantial amount of additional work, Seller shall implement such Changes without payment of additional compensation.
In case of Changes which require a substantial amount of work, Seller shall accept Buyer’s amended Purchase Order and the overall compensation shall be adjusted accordingly by mutual consent, unless Seller furnishes proof that such Changes
cannot be implemented. 

  

	4.	Meetings 

 Buyer
may request meetings with Seller, to be held at mutually agreeable times and places, to evaluate the progress of the Deliverables and matters related thereto. Each party will devote reasonable efforts to ensure attendance of appropriate personnel at
any such meeting, including representatives who are party to the third-party agreements whose presence Buyer requests. 
  

	5.	Standard of Workmanship and Warranty 

  

	5.1	Seller shall use its best skills, resources and judgment to perform all Services in an efficient and economical manner and in accordance with the highest professional
standards of workmanship, to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer. In addition to other rights provided under this Purchase Order or at law, Seller shall perform again, at no cost to Buyer, any Services and furnish any design data which, in the
reasonable opinion of Buyer, does not meet such standards. Seller warrants the performance of all agreed obligations by Seller and the rights granted herein. Seller agrees to achieve Deliverables that are free and clear of third parties rights.

  

	5.2	 When Deliverables include computer programs, including, where applicable, object code (including microcode) and source code, and any enhancements,
modifications, updates or releases relating thereto (“Developed Software”), Seller further agrees to provide Buyer with all documentation related thereto including user manuals, training materials, product descriptions and applicable
specifications, technical manuals and supporting materials, developed documents, and other printed information, whether distributed in print, electronic, or video format. Furthermore, Seller agrees that no portion of the Developed

  
 17 

	 	 
Software delivered to Buyer will contain any undisclosed features or any “back door,” “time bomb,” “Trojan horse,” “worm,” “drop dead device,”
“virus,” or other computer software routines or hardware components designed to (i) permit access or unauthorized use of either the Developed Software or Buyer’s computer systems or vehicles, (ii) disable, damage or erase
the Developed Software or data, or (iii) perform any other such actions. Furthermore, the Developed Software shall not contain preprogrammed preventative routines or similar devices which prevent Buyer from exercising the rights granted under
this Agreement or from utilizing the Developed Software for the purpose for which it was designed. 

  

	6.	Proprietary Information 

 In order that Seller’s employees, approved sub-contractors and agents (“Seller’s Personnel”) may effectively provide the Services to Buyer under this Purchase Order, it may be
necessary or desirable for Buyer to disclose confidential or proprietary information pertaining to Buyer’s past, present and future activities. All proprietary information furnished or made available by Buyer to Seller or to Seller’s
Personnel in connection with the work or Services to be performed for Buyer hereunder, and all proprietary information generated or developed by Seller or Seller’s Personnel for Buyer (collectively Buyer’s proprietary information), shall
be owned by Buyer, shall be treated as confidential by Seller and Seller’s Personnel and shall not be used or disclosed by Seller or Seller’s Personnel, either in whole or in part, except upon written authorization by Buyer. Seller shall
make Seller’s Personnel aware of their obligation not to use or disclose Buyer’s proprietary information. Where Seller becomes aware of circumstances regarding Seller’s Personnel which compromises or may compromise Buyer’s
proprietary information, Seller will immediately inform Buyer of such circumstances. 
  

	7.	Intellectual Property 

  

	7.1	Seller agrees that Buyer will own all rights, title and interest to all parts of the Deliverables created, whether independently by Seller or Seller’s Personnel or
jointly with Buyer’s employees, pursuant to this Purchase Order, whether or not completed, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights therein and related thereto (the “Project Technology”). 

For the purpose of this Purchase Order, Intellectual Property Rights means any letters patent, patented articles, patent applications,
designs, industrial designs, copyrights, software, source code, database rights, moral rights, inventions whether or not capable of protection by patent or registration, techniques, technical data, and know-how, whether registered or unregistered

Intellectual Property shall exclude all brands, trademarks, trade names, slogans and logos of the Seller unless specifically identified as a Deliverable pursuant to this Purchase Order. 

  
 18 

 Seller, on behalf of itself and Seller’s Personnel, hereby grants, assigns and
transfers, to Buyer all rights, title and interest to all Intellectual Property Rights, including any “moral rights,” in such Project Technology, free and clear of any and all claims for royalties or other compensation, unless otherwise
limited by local law. Seller shall promptly disclose all inventions to Buyer, execute such documents and do such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to further evidence or effectuate Buyer’s rights in and to the Project Technology, and
shall cause the Seller Personnel to do so. If and to the extent that any moral rights cannot be assigned to Buyer, then Seller will obtain such waivers, releases or consents as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer’s use,
transfer, license, exploitation and alienation of the Project Technology will not infringe or misappropriate the rights that cannot be assigned. 
  

	7.2	Intellectual Property Rights owned by Seller or Seller’s Personnel or affiliates that were not created as a direct consequence of work contracted under this
Purchase Order or access to Buyer’s proprietary information (Seller’s Intellectual Property Rights) remain the property of Seller or Seller’s Personnel or affiliates and Buyer will acquire no right or interest in such Seller’s
Intellectual Property Rights, except for the license set forth in the following sentence. Seller hereby grants and causes Seller’s Personnel and affiliates to grant to Buyer, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free,
fully paid-up, license, with right to sublicense, to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, improve, copy, distribute, reproduce or modify, create derivative works, perform and display all Seller’s Intellectual Property Rights only
which are embodied in the Deliverables or otherwise required to exploit the Deliverables provided hereunder in whole or in part, including the right to modify and improve without limitation. 

 

	7.3	Seller will promptly provide, and will ensure that Seller’s Personnel promptly provide, whatever assistance Buyer reasonably requires: 

 

	 	(a)	necessary to vest the entire right, title and interest in any Project Technology and any Intellectual Property Rights in the Project Technology in Buyer, irrespective
of the country, including signing all assignments, transfers and other papers; and 

  

	 	(b)	relating to the conduct of any claim, demand, interference, opposition, litigation or other controversy in connection with the transfer of any rights to Buyer of the
Project Technology, provided that all expenses incident to the filing of such applications, the prosecution thereof and the conduct or handling of any claim, demand, interference, litigation or other controversy shall be borne by Buyer, provided
such expenses are not consequent upon a breach by the Supplier of this Agreement. 

  

	7.4	Seller shall claim/acquire all inventor rights of Seller’s Personnel required under law to enable it to grant Buyer the rights in Articles 7.1 and 7.2.

  

	7.5	Seller shall assume full and sole responsibility for compensating Seller’s Personnel for assigned work done under this Purchase Order, including without limitation
the remuneration of employees for inventions. Seller shall indemnify Buyer from and against all claims of Seller’s Personnel for compensation for such work upon first demand and Seller shall be excluded from assertion of all defenses and
objections. 

  
 19 

	8.	Conduct of Seller’s Employees 

  

	8.1	Seller and its approved subcontractors shall each exercise their best efforts to furnish competent employees to perform the Services. When on Buyer’s premises,
Seller and Seller’s Personnel shall comply with all of Buyer’s regulations, policies and reasonable direction or Buyer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to bar such person from Buyer’s premises or request Seller remove
him/her. 

  

	8.2	Continuous improvement of the productivity and availability of the workforce are as primary objectives of Buyer and Seller. To accomplish these objectives, Buyer and
Seller acknowledge that specific actions must be agreed upon and undertaken by both parties to stabilize and train the workforce. Seller shall report on a quarterly basis, the stability of its workforce and its participation in training programs.
Buyer will monitor these reports to ensure compliance with the objectives. 

  

	9.	Right to Audit 

Seller hereby grants to Buyer access to all pertinent records, correspondence, writings, electronic files, drawings, and receipts related
to the Services performed by Seller under this Purchase Order. Seller further agrees to maintain such records for a minimum period of three (3) years after final payment, unless local laws otherwise require a different retention period for any
particular records. Seller further agrees to cooperate fully with Buyer with all reasonable requests of Buyer during audit and agrees that such audit may be used as a basis for settlement of disputes which might arise regarding payments under this
Purchase Order. 
  

	10.	Subcontracting 

Seller agrees not to subcontract any portion of the Services without the prior written approval of Buyer. In the event of such approval,
Seller shall a) notify any approved subcontractor of Seller’s obligations under this Purchase Order, b) include similar provisions in the subcontract, and c) shall demand strict adherence to the provisions set forth in this Purchase Order.
Notwithstanding any approval, Seller shall retain full responsibility for the performance of Services by the approved subcontractor(s). 
  

	11.	Independent Contractor

 Revised January 2011 

  
 21 

 GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
 1. ACCEPTANCE: 
 Seller has read and understands this Contract and agrees that Seller’s
written acceptance or commencement of any work or services under this Contract shall constitute Seller’s acceptance of these terms and conditions only. 
 2. SHIPPING, PAYMENT AND RIGHT TO AUDIT: 
 Seller agrees: (a) to properly pack, mark
and ship goods in accordance with the requirements of Buyer, the involved carriers, and, if applicable, the country of destination; (b) to route shipments in accordance with Buyer’s instructions; (c) to make no charge for handling,
packaging, storage or transportation of goods, unless otherwise stated as an item on this Contract; (d) to provide with each shipment packing slips with Buyer’s contract and/or release number and date of shipment marked thereon;
(e) to properly mark each package with a label/tag according to Buyer’s instructions; (f) to promptly forward the original bill of lading or other shipping receipt for each shipment in accordance with Buyer’s instructions. Seller
will include on bills of lading or other shipping receipts correct classification identification of the goods shipped in accordance with Buyer’s instructions and the carrier’s requirements. The marks on each package and identification of
the goods on packing slips, bills of lading and invoices (when required) shall be sufficient to enable Buyer to easily identify the goods purchased. Seller further agrees: (a) to accept payment based upon Buyer’s Evaluated Receipt
Record/Self Billed Invoice, unless an invoice is requested by Buyer; and (b) to accept payment by electronic funds transfer. The payment date is set forth elsewhere in this Contract, or if not stated, shall be 47/weekly, which provides that
payment shall be made on average in 47 days, with weekly disbursements, following receipt of the goods at Buyer’s plant or, if directed by Buyer, receipt of a valid invoice. Buyer may withhold payment pending receipt of evidence, in such form
and detail as Buyer may direct, of the absence of any liens, encumbrances and claims on the goods or services under this Contract. Seller grants to Buyer access to all pertinent information, including, but not limited to, books, records, payroll
data, receipts, correspondence and other documents for the purpose of auditing Seller’s charges under this Contract. Seller will preserve these documents for a period of 1 year after the final payment under this Contract. In addition, all work,
materials, inventories and other items provided under this Contract must be accessible to Buyer, including, but not limited to, parts, tools, fixtures, gages and models. Seller will segregate its records and otherwise cooperate with Buyer so as to
facilitate the audit. 
 3. DELIVERY SCHEDULES: 
 Time is of the essence, and deliveries shall be made both in quantities and at times specified in Buyer’s schedules. Seller shall take action to electronically communicate purchasing and supply chain
transactions in a secure (encrypted) manner, including but not limited to receiving Buyer’s RFQs, purchase contracts and production schedules, as well as sending ASNs, quotes and proposals to Buyer. Buyer shall not be required to

  
 22 

 
make payment for goods delivered to Buyer that are in excess of quantities specified in Buyer’s delivery schedules. Buyer may change the rate of scheduled shipments or direct temporary
suspension of scheduled shipments, neither of which shall entitle Seller to a modification of the price for goods or services covered by this Contract. Where quantities and/or delivery schedules are not specified, Seller shall deliver goods in such
quantities and times as Buyer may direct in subsequent releases. 
 4. PREMIUM SHIPMENTS: 

If Seller’s acts or omissions result in Seller’s failure to meet Buyer’s delivery requirements and Buyer requires a more expeditious method
of transportation for the goods than the transportation method originally specified by Buyer, Seller shall ship the goods as expeditiously as possible at Seller’s sole expense. 
 5. CHANGES: 
 Buyer reserves the right at any time to direct changes, or cause Seller to
make changes, to drawings and specifications of the goods or to otherwise change the scope of the work covered by this Contract including work with respect to such matters as inspection, testing or quality control, and Seller agrees to
(a) promptly make such changes, and (b) accept any subsequently issued contracts implementing such changes. Any difference in price or time for performance resulting from such changes shall be equitably adjusted by Buyer after receipt of
documentation in such form and detail as Buyer may direct. Any changes to this Contract shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 31. 
 6.
SUPPLIER QUALITY AND DEVELOPMENT; INSPECTION: 
 Seller agrees to participate in Buyer’s supplier quality and development program(s) and
to comply with all quality requirements and procedures specified by Buyer, as revised from time to time. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to enter Seller’s facility at reasonable times to inspect the facility, goods, materials and any
property of Buyer covered by this Contract. Buyer’s inspection of the goods, whether during manufacture, prior to delivery or within a reasonable time after delivery, shall not constitute acceptance of any work-in-process or finished goods.

 7. NONCONFORMING, REJECTED, OBSOLETE OR SURPLUS GOODS: 
 Seller acknowledges that Buyer will not perform incoming inspections of the goods, and waives any rights to require Buyer to conduct such inspections. To the extent Buyer rejects goods as nonconforming,
the quantities under this Contract will automatically be reduced unless Buyer otherwise notifies Seller. Seller will not replace quantities so reduced without a new contract or schedule from Buyer. Nonconforming goods will be held by Buyer in
accordance with Seller’s instructions at Seller’s risk. Seller’s failure to provide written instructions within 10 days, or such shorter period as may be commercially reasonable under the circumstances, after notice of nonconformity
shall entitle Buyer, at Buyer’s option, to charge Seller for storage and handling or to dispose of the goods without liability to Seller. Payment for nonconforming goods shall not constitute an acceptance of them, limit or impair Buyer’s
right to assert any legal or 

  
 23 

 
equitable remedy, or relieve Seller’s responsibility for latent defects. Any goods a) determined to be nonconforming by Seller (or its suppliers), b) rejected by Buyer as nonconforming, c)
that become obsolete or surplus, will be rendered unusable prior to salvage or disposal by Seller (or its suppliers). Seller will ensure that nonconforming, rejected, obsolete or surplus goods are not sold as service or replacement parts to third
parties. Seller agrees to institute appropriate controls with its suppliers to ensure compliance with this section. 
 8. FORCE MAJEURE;
LABOR DISRUPTION INVENTORY: 
 Any delay or failure of either party to perform its obligations shall be excused if Seller is unable to
produce, sell or deliver, or Buyer is unable to accept delivery, buy or use, the goods or services covered by this Contract, as the result of an event or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the party and without its fault or negligence,
including, but not limited to, acts of God, actions by any governmental authority (whether valid or invalid), fires, floods, windstorms, explosions, riots, natural disasters, wars, sabotage, labor problems (including lockouts, strikes and
slowdowns), inability to obtain power, material, labor equipment or transportation, or court injunction or order; provided that written notice of such delay (including the anticipated duration of the delay) shall be given by the affected party to
the other party as soon as possible after the event or occurrence (but in no event more than 10 days thereafter). During the period of such delay or failure to perform by Seller, Buyer, at its option, may purchase goods and services from other
sources and reduce its schedules to Seller by such quantities, without liability to Seller, or have Seller provide the goods and services from other sources in quantities and at times requested by Buyer, and at the price set forth in this Contract.
If requested by Buyer, Seller shall, within 10 days, provide adequate assurances that the delay shall not exceed 30 days. If the delay lasts more than 30 days or Seller does not provide adequate assurance that the delay will cease within 30 days,
Buyer may immediately terminate this Contract without liability. In addition, Seller at its expense shall take such actions as are necessary to ensure the supply of goods and services to Buyer for a period of at least 30 days during any anticipated
labor disruption or resulting from the expiration of Seller’s labor contract(s). 
 9. WARRANTY: 

Seller warrants/guarantees that the goods covered by this Contract will conform to the specifications, drawings, samples, or descriptions furnished to or
by Buyer, and will be merchantable, of good material and workmanship and free from defect. In addition, Seller acknowledges that Seller knows of Buyer’s intended use and warrants/guarantees that all goods covered by this Contract that have been
selected, designed, manufactured or assembled by Seller based upon Buyer’s stated use will be fit and sufficient for the particular purposes intended by Buyer. The warranty period shall be that provided by applicable law, except that if Buyer
offers a longer warranty to its customers for goods installed on vehicles, such longer period shall apply. 

  
 24 

 10. INGREDIENTS DISCLOSURE; SPECIAL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: 

If requested by Buyer, Seller shall promptly furnish to Buyer in such form and detail as Buyer may direct: (a) a list of all ingredients in the
goods; (b) the amount of all ingredients; and (c) information concerning any changes in or additions to such ingredients. Prior to and with the shipment of the goods, Seller agrees to furnish to Buyer sufficient warning and notice in
writing (including appropriate labels on the goods, containers and packing) of any hazardous material that is an ingredient or a part of any of the goods, together with such special handling instructions as may be necessary to advise carriers,
Buyer, and their respective employees of how to exercise that measure of care and precaution that will best prevent bodily injury or property damage in the handling, transportation, processing, use or disposal of the goods, containers and packing
shipped to Buyer. 
 11. INSOLVENCY: 
 Buyer may immediately terminate this Contract without liability to Seller in any of the following or any other comparable events: (a) insolvency of Seller; (b) filing of a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy by Seller; (c) filing of any involuntary petition in bankruptcy against Seller; (d) appointment of a receiver or trustee for Seller; or (e) execution of an assignment for the benefit of creditors by Seller, provided that
such petition, appointment or assignment is not vacated or nullified within 15 days of such event. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all costs incurred by Buyer in connection with any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, all
attorney’s or other professional fees. 
 12. TERMINATION FOR BREACH OR NONPERFORMANCE; SALE OF ASSETS OR CHANGE IN CONTROL:

 Buyer reserves the right to terminate all or any part of this Contract, without liability to Seller, if Seller: (a) repudiates or
breaches any of the terms of this Contract, including Seller’s warranties; (b) fails to perform services or deliver goods as specified by Buyer; (c) fails to make progress so as to endanger timely and proper completion of services or
delivery of goods; and does not correct such failure or breach within 10 days (or such shorter period of time if commercially reasonable under the circumstances) after receipt of written notice from Buyer specifying such failure or breach. In
addition, Buyer may terminate this Contract upon giving at least 60 days notice to Seller, without liability to Seller, if Seller (i) sells, or offers to sell, a material portion of its assets, or (ii) sells or exchanges, or offers to sell
or exchange, or causes to be sold or exchanged, a sufficient amount of its stock that effects a change in the control of Seller. 
 13.
TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE: 
 In addition to any other rights of Buyer to terminate this Contract, Buyer may, at its option, immediately
terminate all or any part of this Contract, at any time and for any reason, by giving written notice to Seller. Upon such termination, Buyer shall pay to Seller the following amounts without duplication: (a) the contract price for all goods or
services that have been completed in accordance with this Contract and not previously paid for; and (b) the actual costs of work-in-process and raw materials incurred by Seller in furnishing the goods or services under this Contract to the
extent such costs are reasonable in amount and are properly allocable or apportionable under generally accepted accounting principles to the terminated portion of this Contract; less, however, the sum of the reasonable value or cost (whichever is
higher) of any goods or materials used or sold by Seller with Buyer’s written consent, and the cost of any damaged or destroyed goods or material. Buyer will make no payments for finished goods, services, work-in-process or raw materials
fabricated or procured by Seller in amounts in excess of those 

  
 25 

 
authorized in delivery releases nor for any undelivered goods that are in Seller’s standard stock or that are readily marketable. Payments made under this Paragraph shall not exceed the
aggregate price payable by Buyer for finished goods or services that would be produced or performed by Seller under delivery or release schedules outstanding at the date of termination. Except as provided in this Paragraph, Buyer shall not be liable
for and shall not be required to make payments to Seller, directly or on account of claims by Seller’s subcontractors, for loss of anticipated profit, unabsorbed overhead, interest on claims, product development and engineering costs,
facilities and equipment rearrangement costs or rental, unamortized depreciation costs, or general and administrative burden charges from termination of this Contract. Within 90 days from the effective date of termination, Seller shall submit a
comprehensive termination claim to Buyer, with sufficient supporting data to permit Buyer’s audit, and shall thereafter promptly furnish such supplemental and supporting information as Buyer shall request. Buyer or its agents shall have the
right to audit and examine all books, records, facilities, work, material, inventories and other items relating to any termination claim of Seller. 
 14. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: 
 Seller agrees: (a) to defend, hold harmless and indemnify
Buyer, its successors and customers against any claims of infringement (including patent, trademark, copyright, industrial design right, or other proprietary right, or misuse or misappropriation of trade secret) and resulting damages and expenses
(including attorney’s and other professional fees) arising in any way in relation to the goods or services contracted, including such claims where Seller has provided only part of the goods or services; Seller expressly waives any claim against
Buyer that such infringement arose out of compliance with Buyer’s specification; (b) that Buyer or Buyer’s subcontractor has the right to repair, reconstruct, or rebuild the specific goods delivered under this Contract without payment
of any royalty to Seller; (c) that parts manufactured based on Buyer’s drawings and/or specifications may not be used for its own use or sold to third parties without Buyer’s express written authorization; and (d) to the extent
that this Contract is issued for the creation of copyrightable works, the works shall be considered “works made for hire;” to the extent that the works do not qualify as “works made for hire,” Seller hereby assigns to Buyer all
right, title and interest in all copyrights and moral rights therein. 
 15. TECHNICAL INFORMATION DISCLOSED TO BUYER: 

Seller agrees not to assert any claim (other than a claim for patent infringement) with respect to any technical information that Seller shall have
disclosed or may hereafter disclose to Buyer in connection with the goods or services covered by this Contract. 
 16. INDEMNIFICATION:

 If Seller performs any work on Buyer’s premises or utilizes the property of Buyer, whether on or off Buyer’s premises, Seller
shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any liability, claims, demands or expenses (including attorney’s and other professional fees) for damages to the property of or injuries (including death) to Buyer, its employees or any
other person arising from or in connection with Seller’s performance of work or use of Buyer’s property, except for such liability, claim, or demand arising out of the sole negligence of Buyer. 

  
 26 

 17. INSURANCE: 
 Seller shall maintain insurance coverage with carriers acceptable to Buyer and in the amounts set forth in the Special Terms. Seller shall furnish to Buyer either a certificate showing compliance with
these insurance requirements or certified copies of all insurance policies within 10 days of Buyer’s written request. The certificate will provide that Buyer will receive 30 days’ prior written notice from the insurer of any termination or
reduction in the amount or scope of coverage. Seller’s furnishing of certificates of insurance or purchase of insurance shall not release Seller of its obligations or liabilities under this Contract. 

18. SELLER’S PROPERTY: 
 Unless
otherwise agreed to by Buyer, Seller, at its expense, shall furnish, keep in good condition, and replace when necessary all machinery, equipment, tools, jigs, dies, gauges, fixtures, molds, patterns and other items (“Seller’s
Property”) necessary for the production of the goods. The cost of changes to Seller’s Property necessary to make design and specification changes authorized by Buyer shall be paid for by Buyer. Seller shall insure Seller’s Property
with full fire and extended coverage insurance for its replacement value. Seller grants Buyer an irrevocable option to take possession of and title to Seller’s Property that is special for the production of the goods upon payment to Seller of
its net book value less any amounts that Buyer has previously paid to Seller for the cost of such items; provided, however, that this option shall not apply if Seller’s Property is used to produce goods that are the standard stock of Seller or
if a substantial quantity of like goods are being sold by Seller to others. 
 19. BUYER’S PROPERTY: 

All supplies, materials, tools, jigs, dies, gauges, fixtures, molds, patterns, equipment and other items furnished by Buyer, either directly or
indirectly, to Seller to perform this Contract, or for which Seller has been reimbursed by Buyer, shall be and remain the property of Buyer and held by Seller on a bailment basis (“Buyer’s Property”). Seller shall bear the risk of
loss of and damage to Buyer’s Property. Buyer’s Property shall at all times be properly housed and maintained by Seller, at its expense, shall not be used by Seller for any purpose other than the performance of this Contract; shall be
deemed to be personalty; shall be conspicuously marked by Seller as the property of Buyer; shall not be commingled with the property of Seller or with that of a third person; and shall not be moved from Seller’s premises without Buyer’s
prior written approval. Buyer shall have the right to enter Seller’s premises at all reasonable times to inspect such property and Seller’s records with respect thereto. Upon the request of Buyer, Buyer’s Property shall be immediately

(30) days following delivery of the Right of Access Notice. The Customer shall have no right to sell, transfer, or dispose of the Operating Assets or the Real Estate as part of the Right of Access. Alternatively, upon the occurrence of a
Default, the Customer may resource its production from Supplier after giving notice to Supplier (with a copy to Lender).

Right of Access for itself or its designee(s), the Customer must:

from any physical damage to property, including the Operating Assets and Real Estate, or physical injury suffered by third parties directly by the Customer or its designees use of the Operating Assets and Real Estate, which obligation to indemnify
shall not be subject to any right of setoff or recoupment that Customer may have against Supplier; 

  

	 	(ii)	indemnify, defend and hold Lender and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from any damage to property or injury suffered by third parties
directly caused by either or both of the Customer’s or its designee’s use of the Operating Assets and the Real Estate during the Occupancy Period; 

 

	 	(iii)	insure with comparable insurance, loss payees and additional insureds and maintain the Operating Assets and the Real Estate in the same condition as existed on the date

Supplier’s representatives (and representatives of Lender, secured creditors or mortgagees of the Operating Assets and/or the Real Estate) reasonable access to inspect the Operating Assets and the Real Estate to prepare for a liquidation of the
Operating Assets and the Real Estate at the end of the Occupancy Period and to sell any asset other than the Operating Assets and the Real Estate prior to expiration of the Occupancy Period; and 

 

	 	(vi)	subject to Supplier’s other customers agreeing to: (a) make payment to the Customer or its designee(s), as applicable, on account of its allocable share of
overhead and related expenses and all direct expenses related to such other customer’s production; and (b) Supplier making the necessary tangible personal property available for use during the Occupancy Period, the Customer agrees, for
itself and its designee(s), to produce the Component Parts for such other customers during the Occupancy Period or to provide the other customers access provided such customers do not interfere with the production of the Component Parts.

  
 6 

 (c) Supplier’s Obligations. If the Customer invokes the Right of
Access, Supplier will comply with the following: 
  

	 	(i)	If the Customer exercises the Right of Access, at the Customer’s election in its sole discretion, Supplier will use its commercial best efforts to continue to
employ those of its employees whom the Customer determines are necessary to maintain production of the Component Parts (the “Retained Employees”) and the Customer or its designee(s) will reimburse Supplier for all costs and expenses
relating to Supplier’s employment of the Retained Employees incurred during the Occupancy Period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Customer or its designee(s), as applicable, will reimburse Supplier all amounts incurred by
Supplier to meet its regular payroll obligations, including salaries, wages, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, welfare, retirement or pension contributions and other payments and contributions
required to be made by Supplier with respect to the Retained Employees, all of which are incurred solely during the Occupancy Period, but in no event will the Customer be liable for any costs for unfunded actuarial liability, past service unfunded
actuarial liability or solvency or other deficiency relating to any pension plan or other obligations relating to service prior to the time the Customer exercised the Right of Access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will the
Customer be responsible for reimbursing Supplier for costs and expenses relating to Supplier’s employment of the Retained Employees to the extent the Retained Employees are performing services wholly unrelated to the production of the Component
Parts; 

  

	 	(ii)	During the Occupancy Period and without the Customer’s prior written consent, Supplier shall not increase compensation or benefits of the Retained Employees,
except as may be required by applicable law or pre-existing contract; 

  

	 	(iii)	Supplier will indemnify, defend and hold the Customer, its designee(s) and its employees and agents harmless from any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees), losses, damages, liabilities or injury arising from claims or liabilities arising or accruing prior to the date of the Customer’s exercise of the Right of Access, regardless of when such claims are asserted; and

  
 7 

	 	(iv)	During the Occupancy Period, Supplier agrees that the Customer and its designee(s) and agents and representatives will have access to Supplier’s books and records
for the purposes of confirming and calculating the amounts due, if any, from the Customer under this Agreement solely as it relates to the manufacture of the Component Parts. 

(d) Right to Terminate. The Customer will have the absolute right to terminate the Right of Access upon two
(2) business days prior written notice to Supplier and the Lender. Upon expiration of the notice period, the Occupancy Period will terminate and, except for the Customer’s obligations under subparagraph b(i) and payment of any amounts
payable under subparagraphs b(i) through (b)(vi) and (c)(i) above not paid as of the termination of the Occupancy Period, the Customer will have no further obligations or liabilities to (i) Supplier (ii) any Lender or (iii) any other
person or entity on account of the Right of Access. 
 (e) Specific Performance. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE THE RIGHT OF ACCESS, SUPPLIER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CUSTOMER WILL NOT HAVE AN ADEQUATE REMEDY AT LAW, THAT THE OPERATING ASSETS AND THE REAL ESTATE ARE UNIQUE AND THAT THE CUSTOMER WILL BE ENTITLED TO SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE OF SUPPLIER’S OBLIGATIONS TO AFFORD THE CUSTOMER ITS RIGHT OF ACCESS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 

(f) Appointment of Receiver. In addition to any rights and remedies the Customer may have as a secured creditor or
under the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Customer and Supplier, the Customer will have the right to the appointment of a receiver or a receiver and manager to effectuate the Right of Access. In connection with any hearing
on the appointment of a receiver, Supplier agrees that 24 hours’ notice of any request for a hearing on such appointment will be adequate notice and that the only issue to be litigated at the hearing will be whether or not a Default has
occurred. 
 (g) Irreparable Harm; Limitation of Notice. SUPPLIER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CUSTOMER WILL
SUFFER IRREPARABLE HARM IF THE CUSTOMER INVOKES THE RIGHT OF ACCESS AND SUPPLIER FAILS TO COOPERATE WITH THE CUSTOMER IN ALLOWING THE CUSTOMER TO EXERCISE THE RIGHT OF ACCESS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. ACCORDINGLY, PROVIDED THAT SUPPLIER RECEIVES 24
HOURS’ NOTICE OF ANY REQUEST FOR HEARINGS IN CONNECTION WITH PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED BY THE CUSTOMER, SUPPLIER WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO NOTICE IN EXCESS OF TWENTY-FOUR (24) HOURS IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED BY THE CUSTOMER TO ENFORCE THE RIGHT OF ACCESS. 
 4. License.
Supplier granted Customer a License to use its Intellectual Property under and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Development Support Agreement. Customer’s rights under the License (as defined in the Development Support Agreement)
shall apply with the same force and effect as if the terms of such License were restated fully herein. 

  
 8 

 5. Protection of Production. Without limiting the Customer’s existing rights and
interests, and upon invoking the Right of Access, the Customer shall have the unlimited right to, among other things, enter into discussions, negotiations, and agreements regarding the production of the Component Parts by any potential alternative
supplier(s), including without limitation, any current or former agents, consultants, directors, employees, or officers of Supplier. 
 6. Obligation to Purchase Inventory. Customer agrees to purchase, upon the occurrence of a Default, all “Useable” and “Merchantable” (each as defined below) raw materials
related to its Component Parts and Useable and Merchantable finished Component Parts. The purchase price for the forgoing inventory will be (i) in the case of raw materials Supplier’s actual cost (determined with reference to the
applicable vendor’s invoice issued to Supplier in the normal course of business), and (ii) in the case of finished Component Parts, the applicable Purchase Order price (the “Purchase Price”). Customer agrees to pay the
Purchase Price for any inventory it is required to purchase under this subsection without setoff or deduction for any claims or rights Customer may otherwise have against Supplier, which rights and claims Customer otherwise reserves and does not
waive. Customer will only be obligated to purchase inventory under this subsection if the applicable inventory can be delivered to the Customer within 30 days of the occurrence of a Default, free and clear of the Lender’s security interests and
liens and on the date of purchase, Customer is reasonably satisfied that the inventory purchased is free and clear of applicable liens. 
 For purposes of this subsection: 
 “Merchantable”
means of good quality, not defective and conforming to all applicable standards or specifications, including applicable Purchase Order specifications. 
 “Unsatisfied Releases” in the case of inventory related to current model year Component Parts, means the quantity of Component Parts provided in the releases, fabrication, raw material or
similar authorizations issued by Customer to Supplier and in effect on the date of the occurrence of a Default, minus the quantities of Component Parts shipped by Supplier after receipt of such releases and authorizations. “Unsatisfied
Releases” in the case of service parts inventory means no more than six times the average monthly purchases of such service parts by the Customer determined on a rolling 12 month basis. 

“Useable” means finished goods and raw materials (as the case may be) relating to the Component Parts
that are not obsolete and are useable by the Customer in connection with manufacturing the Component Parts for which the Customer has or will have Unsatisfied Releases. 
 7. Court Approvals. In the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Supplier, Supplier will exercise its commercial best efforts, in good faith, to obtain entry of interim and
final orders of a court of competent jurisdiction, confirming the Customer’s rights under this Agreement and authorizing Supplier to enter into same, which order will be sought commensurate with the filing of any motion to obtain
debtor-in-possession financing or other similar financing (whether on an interim or final basis).

 8. Rights of the Customer; Limitations on the Customer’s Obligations. Unless the
Customer exercises the Right of Access, in which case the Customer will have the obligations outlined in Section 3(b) above, the Customer will not have any obligation or liability by reason of or arising out of this Agreement. 

9. Remedies. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, upon a Default and the expiration of any applicable cure periods, the
Customer will have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, in any other agreements with Supplier and all rights and remedies available to a secured creditor under applicable law. Further, in connection with the Customer’s rights and
remedies under this Agreement: 
 (a) Supplier waives any right it may have to require the Customer to foreclose
its security interests and liens and/or reduce the Obligations to a monetary sum; 
 (b) If the Customer
exercises the Right of Access, the Customer will be treated as a secured party in possession and the Customer’s use and occupancy of the Operating Assets will not be deemed to be acceptance of such assets in satisfaction of the Obligations; and

 (c) All of the Customer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights and remedies under any other agreement or under applicable law or at equity. 
 10. Injunctive Relief. Given
that the Customer may incur significant damages if Supplier fails to timely satisfy its obligations to the Customer and the Customer’s assembly or other plant operations will be negatively impacted, and because the Customer does not have an
adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed by such events, Supplier agrees that the Customer is entitled to injunctive relief (both prohibitive and mandatory) in connection with any violations by Supplier of any terms or conditions of
this Agreement. The Customer agrees to provide the Lender notice of any proceeding seeking injunctive relief simultaneously with providing such notice to Supplier. 
 11. Representations and Warranties. Supplier represents and warrants to the Customer as follows: 
 (a) Title; No Other Security Interests. Except for the security interest granted under this Agreement to the Customer, the liens and security interests granted to the Lender, other liens of record,
Supplier owns the Operating Assets free and clear of all liens, claims and security interests. Except for liens and security interests granted to the Lender and the security interest granted to the Customer under this Agreement, no other person or
entity (including any person or entity holding any lien of record) has a lien or security interest on any material portion of the Operating Assets or the Real Estate. 

  
 10 

 (b) Addresses. Supplier’s chief executive office and the
location of the Collateral are set forth in Schedule 11(b) and will not be changed without prior written notice to the Customer, but the Operating Assets, wherever located, are covered by this Agreement. Supplier must immediately advise the
Customer in writing of any change in its name, trade name, address or form of organization. 
 (c) Trade
Names. Any and all trade names under which Supplier transacts any part of its business, and all former names of Supplier, are those which have been previously disclosed to the Customer in writing. 

(d) Accuracy of Information. All information, certificates, or statements given to the Customer in connection with
this Agreement will be true and complete in all material respects, when given. 
 (e) Description of Real
Estate. The legal description of the Real Estate attached as Exhibit A is a complete and accurate description of the Real Estate and includes all property on which all buildings and other facilities of Supplier necessary for or useful in
the production of the Component Parts are located. 
 12. Covenants. Supplier covenants and agrees with the Customer that
from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations are discharged in full: 
 (a) Further
Documentation. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Customer, and at Supplier’s sole expense, Supplier will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such
further action as the Customer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. Further, Supplier hereby grants the Customer permission to execute on their behalf
and file necessary or appropriate financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code to perfect the security interest granted hereby. 
 (b) Payment of Obligations. Prior to an exercise of the Right of Access by the Customer, if any, Supplier will pay promptly when due, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies
imposed upon the Collateral and the Real Estate or in respect of Supplier’s income or profits, as well as all claims of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials or supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral
and the Real Estate. 
 (c) Sales or Dispositions of Assets; Certain Uses Prohibited. Upon the occurrence
of a Default or if such sale will cause a Default, Supplier will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Operating Assets or the Real Estate except in the ordinary course of business. Supplier will not sell or otherwise dispose of or encumber the
Operating Assets or the Real Estate without the written consent of the Customer. Further, Supplier will not use any of the Operating Assets or the Real Estate in any way which would adversely affect the Customer’s Right of Access or the
Customer’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that it will be reasonable for the Customer to withhold consent if the proposed sale or encumbrance impairs, or may impair, the
Customer’s rights under 

  
 11 

 
this Agreement or any other agreement between the Customer and Supplier or otherwise. Subject to Customer’s rights under this Agreement, Customer acknowledges that the Operating Assets and
Real Estate are used by Supplier in performing services and manufacturing goods for other customers and that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict Supplier from continuing to use the Operating Assets and Real Estate for such purpose so
long as such activities do not interfere with Customer’s exercise of the Right of Access. 
 (d)
Limitations on Modifications of Agreements, etc. Supplier will not: (i) amend, modify, terminate, or waive any provision of any Contract which might materially and adversely affect the Customer’s Right of Access; or (ii) fail
to exercise promptly and diligently each and every right which it may have under each Contract in any manner which could materially and adversely affect the Customer’s Right of Access or the Customer’s other rights or remedies under this
Agreement or any other right or agreement between the Customer and Supplier or otherwise. 
 (e) Maintenance
of Insurance. Supplier will, at its expense, keep and maintain the Collateral and the Real Estate insured against all risk of loss or damage from fire, theft, malicious mischief, explosion, sprinklers, and all other hazards or risks of physical
damage included within the meaning of the term “extended coverage” in amounts consistent with past practice. Supplier will furnish Customer evidence of said insurance, but Customer will not be named as an additional insured or loss payee.

 (f) Right of Inspection; Cooperation. In addition to any rights the Customer may have under the
Purchase Orders or any other agreement with the Customer, the Customer and its representatives will, upon reasonable request and reasonable times, have the right to enter into and upon any premises where any of the Collateral or the Real Estate is
located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting the Customer’s interests therein. The Customer will take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of information obtained by the Customer, except
as required by law. 
 (g) Notice of Default. Supplier will provide immediate notice to the Customer, by
way of facsimile transmission, email and overnight express mail service, of its or its attorneys’ or agents’ receipt of any notice of default under Supplier’s agreements with the Lender, or any other secured creditors including, but
not limited to, taxing authorities. Supplier hereby grants to the Customer the option, but not the obligation, to exercise whatever rights to cure defaults that Supplier has under such agreements or by law. The Customer will endeavor to provide to
the Lender notice by way of facsimile transmission or email of Supplier’s default hereunder. 
 13. Secured Party and
Lessor Acknowledgments. 
 (a) Supplier will provide to the Customer simultaneously with the execution of
this Agreement, Lender’s acknowledgment to the rights and interests granted to the Customer under this Agreement by providing a copy of a form substantially similar to Schedule 13(a) attached hereto executed by a duly authorized
representative of Lender. 

  
 12 

 (b) If subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, Supplier intends to
grant additional or further security interests, liens or mortgages in any of the Collateral to any party other than the Customer, ten (10) business days prior to granting such liens, security interests, mortgages, or leaseholds, Supplier must
deliver to the Customer an acknowledgment from such secured creditors, mortgagees and/or lessees in a form substantially similar to Schedule 13(a) attached hereto. 

(c) Supplier will provide to the Customer simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, acknowledgments of any
lessor(s) of the Real Estate and the Operating Assets (to the extent leased) to the Customer’s rights hereunder, in a form substantially similar to Schedule 13(b) attached hereto. 

14. Effect on Purchase Orders. The purpose of this Agreement is to preserve the rights and interests of the parties under the
Purchase Orders and, by entering into this Agreement, neither party is waiving or limiting any rights it may have under the Purchase Orders. This Agreement will be deemed to be incorporated by reference into, and will constitute an amendment to all
existing and future Purchase Orders regardless of whether any specific reference to this Agreement is made in any such Purchase Orders. To the extent that any term or provision in this Agreement is inconsistent with any term or condition of any such
Purchase Order, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control. 
 15. Term. The rights granted to the Customer
under this Agreement will continue as long as the Development Support Agreement is in effect unless (a) the Customer has, following the occurrence of a Default, exercised the Right of Access, in which case this Agreement will expire and the
Customer will promptly release the lien and security interest granted in Section 2 above, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Occupancy Period, or (ii) when the Customer’s requirements under the Purchase Orders are
satisfied in all respects or all of the Component Parts are resourced; or (b) there has been a sale of the Operating Assets to a purchaser who agrees to perform the Purchase Orders on the existing terms (or such other terms as are mutually
agreeable between the Customer and purchaser) and who can reasonably demonstrate, to Customer’s satisfaction in its sole discretion, that prospective purchaser possesses the business plan, management structure and adequate financing sufficient
to operate and perform pursuant to the Purchase Orders for their respective duration. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, Supplier’s obligations to indemnify the Customer as set forth in Section 3(c)(iii) and the
Customer’s obligations to indemnify the supplier and the Lender as set forth in Sections 3(b)(i) and (ii) will survive termination of this Agreement. 
 16. Confidential Information and Data and Confidentiality Agreement. Without limiting the Customer’s rights under this Agreement, to the extent the Operating Assets include, or the Customer or
its designee(s) otherwise comes into possession of or becomes aware of, Supplier’s trade secrets or proprietary information during the Customer’s exercise of the Right of Access, the Customer and its designee(s) must, (a) except as
required by applicable law, keep the information, data, and trade secrets confidential; and (b) only use the information, data, and trade secrets during the Occupancy Period in connection with producing Component Parts. The provisions of this
paragraph will survive termination of this Agreement. The Customer and Supplier each agree to keep all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement 

  
 13 

 
confidential from any third party provided, however, that the terms of this Agreement may be disclosed by Customer or Supplier to their respective directors, officers, employees, legal and
financial advisors and to other individuals acting on behalf of Customer or Supplier, who need to know such information provided, further, that Customer and Supplier will advise such respective directors, officers, employees, legal and financial
advisors or other individuals of the confidential nature of this Agreement and the requirement for confidentiality as to this Agreement’s terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer and Supplier, as the case may be, may
disclose the terms of the Agreement without liability hereunder to the extent either of them is required to do so in connection with any applicable legal, regulatory, governmental or administrative process or proceeding. 

17. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any one jurisdiction it
will, as to that jurisdiction only, be ineffective to the extent of such holding without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such holding does not invalidate or render unenforceable that provision in any other
jurisdiction wherein it would be valid and enforceable. 
 18. Authorization. The parties executing this Agreement as
representatives warrant that they have the power and authority to execute this Agreement on behalf of the corporation that they represent and that their signatures bind said corporations to the terms of this Agreement. 

19. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation of this Agreement. All references to Sections, Schedules, and Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. 

20. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Customer will not by any act, delay, indulgence, omission, or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any right or remedy under this Agreement or of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. A waiver by the Customer of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which the Customer would otherwise have had on a subsequent occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Customer any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement, will operate as a waiver, nor will any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may
be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by any other agreements or applicable law or at equity. 
 21. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified, or amended except by a written instrument, duly executed by Supplier and
the Customer. This Agreement and all of Supplier’s obligations are binding upon the successors and assigns of Supplier, and together with the rights and remedies of the Customer under this Agreement, inure to the benefit of the Customer and its
successors and assigns. Supplier may not assign or transfer any right or obligation under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Customer.
