Unique’s inspection of the Goods does not constitute acceptance of any Goods, work-in-process or finished goods.

If nonconforming Goods are shipped to and rejected by Unique, Seller, at its sole expense, shall immediately ship conforming Goods to Unique in place of the nonconforming Goods, unless directed in writing by Unique to do otherwise.

Unique’s payment, if any, for nonconforming Goods is not an acceptance, does not limit or impair Unique’s right to assert any legal or equitable remedy, and does not relieve Seller’s responsibility for latent or apparent defects. Seller will retain all documents, data and other records pertaining to the Goods for at least two (2) years following the date of the final payment to Seller under the Order. Seller will permit Unique (or a third party designated by Unique) to reasonably review Seller’s books and records concerning compliance with the Agreement and Seller’s overall financial condition.

Supplier must ensure that its quality assurance system is certified to ISO 9001 or TS 16949 (for suppliers of parts or materials) or similar regulations as the request of Unique may be. Supplier may not rely on a positive outcome of an audit as a means of limiting its liability. Supplier acknowledges that Unique is TS 16949 certified and agrees to take actions reasonably requested by Unique to assist Unique in maintaining its certification. Supplier (whether TS 16949 certified or not) shall provide Unique with complete information regarding customers with whom Supplier is on “special status” (such as, but not limited to, CS1 and CS2 (CS-controlled shipment) or comparable status) and/or business hold.

If no such period applies, then the warranty for Goods will end sixty (60) months after receipt of the Goods. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by an authorized employee of Unique, the period for each of the foregoing warranties with respect to Services will commence upon performance of the Services by Seller and end twenty-four (24) months thereafter.

FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Seller nor Unique shall be liable for any delays or failure to perform any obligations under an order if and to the extent that the performance of the same is partly or wholly delayed, prevented, or hindered by an event of force majeure beyond the reasonable control of the party including, but not limited to, accidents, fires, floods, natural disasters or other acts of God, acts of terrorism or war, restrictions imposed by law or any rules or regulations thereunder. The following events or occurrences will not constitute a force majeure and will not excuse performance under the Agreement: (a) Seller’s inability to perform as a result, or delays caused by, Seller’s insolvency or lack of financial resources; (b) the change in cost or availability of materials or components based on market conditions or supplier actions; and (c) any strike, slow-down, work stoppage or labor dispute of any nature or kind. No more than three (3) business days after the occurrence, Seller will provide written notice describing any delay or inability to perform and assuring Unique of the anticipated duration of the delay or inability to perform and the time that the delay or failure to perform will be cured. During the delay or failure to perform by Seller, Unique may at its option: (i) purchase Goods or Services from other sources and reduce its releases to Seller by such quantities; (ii) require Seller to deliver to Unique at Unique’s expense all finished goods, work in process and parts and materials produced or acquired for work under the Order; or (iii) have Seller provide Goods from other sources in quantities and at a time requested by Unique and at the price set forth in the relevant Order.

Seller shall restrict access to and limit disclosure of Unique’s Confidential Information to only those of Seller’s employees, directors, officers, and advisors with a need to know the information to accomplish the purpose of the Order, provided that they have been instructed and are bound in writing not to disclose the Confidential Information or use it for any purpose other than as permitted under the Agreement and that Seller shall at all times be fully liable to Unique for any breach of this provision by such persons and any entities. Seller shall not disclose or transfer, directly or indirectly, any of Unique’s Confidential Information to any other person or entity without Unique’s express prior written consent. Seller acknowledges that certain Confidential Information may be subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations implemented in the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). Seller agrees not to violate any laws or regulations implemented in the EAR and the ITAR.

Unique does not transfer or license to Seller any patent, trade secret, trademark, service mark, copyright, mask work, or other intellectual property right (collectively “Intellectual Property Rights”) of Unique in any form, including in connection with information, documents, or property that Unique makes available to Seller, other than the limited right to use Unique’s Intellectual Property Rights to produce and supply Goods and/or Services to Unique. Other than the foregoing limited and revocable right to use Unique’s Intellectual Property Rights, Seller shall have no right, title, or ownership in or license to any of Unique’s Intellectual Property Rights. Seller agrees that: (a) Unique and its subcontractors and direct or indirect customers have the worldwide, irrevocable right to repair, reconstruct or rebuild, and to have repaired, reconstructed or rebuilt, Goods delivered under the Agreement without payment of any royalty or other compensation to Seller; (b) Goods and/or Services based, in whole or in part, on any designs, drawings or specifications developed by any party in connection with the Agreement may not be used for Seller’s own use or sold to third parties without Unique’s express written consent; (c) Seller shall assign to Unique each invention, discovery or improvement (whether or not patentable) that is conceived or first reduced to practice by Seller, or by any person employed by or working under the direction of Seller, in the performance of the Agreement; (d) Seller shall promptly disclose in an acceptable form to Unique all such inventions, discoveries or improvements and to cause its employees to sign any papers necessary to enable Unique to obtain title to and to file applications for patents throughout the world; and (e) to the extent that the Agreement involves the creation of copyrightable works, such works will be considered “works made for hire,” and to the extent that the works do not qualify as such, Seller shall assign to Unique upon delivery thereof all right, title and interest in all copyrights and moral rights therein (including any source code). Except as expressly agreed by Unique in a signed writing, all Goods and/or Services or other deliverables provided under the Order, and all Intellectual Property Rights acquired or developed by either Seller or Unique in connection with the Goods and/or Services or in connection with the Agreement, are owned exclusively by Unique. Additionally, Seller hereby grants and Unique hereby accepts a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, paid-up, royalty-free license, including the right to sublicense others in connection with providing the Goods and/or Services to Unique or its customers, to use all of Seller’s Intellectual Property Rights embodied in or related to the Goods and/or Services, to the extent necessary for Unique to obtain from alternate sources products and services similar to the Goods and/or Services for the balance of the term of the Agreement at the termination effective date. There will be no fee for this license if (i) Unique terminates the Order for Seller’s default, or (ii) Seller terminates the Agreement other than for Unique’s default. Otherwise, the parties shall agree upon a reasonable industry-standard fee for use of Seller’s Intellectual Property Rights. Seller will ensure that the terms of its contracts with its subcontractors and employees are consistent with the content of this Section. At no additional cost, Seller will grant Unique a license to use any Intellectual Property Right owned by Seller that is necessary or incident to the reasonably intended use or application of the Goods and/or Services. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Unique is entitled to immediately terminate all or any part of the Agreement, on notice and without liability to Seller, if Seller: (a) repudiates, breaches, fails to perform, or threatens not to perform any of the terms of the Agreement and, if it can be cured, fails to cure the breach or non-performance within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Unique specifying the failure; (b) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency are instituted by or against Seller and are not dismissed within thirty (30) days after commencement; (c) sells, or offers to sell, a substantial portion of its assets used for the production of Goods or performance of Services, or sells or exchanges, or offers to sell or exchange, an amount of its stock or other equity interests that would result in a change in control of Seller, in each case without Unique’s prior written consent; (d) requests a financial accommodation in order to meet its obligations under the Agreement; (e) fails to remain competitive with respect to quality, technology, delivery and pricing of the Goods or Services, after being given notice of a more competitive supplier and reasonable opportunity to match or exceed such competitive offer; or (f) when reasonable grounds arise as to Seller’s ability to perform, fails to provide adequate assurance of performance under the Agreement within three (3) business days after written demand by Unique. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Unique may, at any time with or without cause, terminate all or any part of the Agreement by giving no fewer than thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Seller. Upon receipt of notice of termination, and unless otherwise directed by Unique, Seller will (i) terminate promptly all work under this Order; (ii) transfer title and deliver to Unique the finished Goods, the work in process, and the parts and materials that Seller produced or acquired in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and which Seller cannot use in producing goods for itself or for others; (iii) verify and settle any claims by subcontractors for actual costs made unrecoverable by the termination and ensure the recovery of materials in subcontractor’s possession; (iv) take actions reasonably necessary to protect property in Seller’s possession in which Unique has an interest until disposal instruction from Unique has been received; and (v) upon Unique’s reasonable request, cooperate with Unique in transferring the production of the Goods to a different supplier. Upon termination by Unique under this Section, Unique’s obligation to Seller will be limited solely to the following: (i) the Order price for all finished Goods that conform to the requirements of this Order and were not previously paid for; and (ii) Seller’s reasonable actual cost of work-in-process and parts and materials transferred to Unique in accordance with subsection (b)(ii) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Unique shall have no obligation 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, tooling, facilities and equipment rearrangement costs or rental, unamortized depreciation costs, finished goods, work-in-process or raw materials that Seller fabricates or procures in amounts that exceed those authorized in the material releases, delivery schedules or other instructions, and general administrative burden charges from termination of this Order, unless otherwise expressly agreed to on the face of the purchase order or in a document incorporated into the Order. Unique’s obligation upon termination under this Section shall not exceed the obligation Unique would have had to Seller in the absence of termination. Seller will furnish to Unique, within thirty (30) days after the date of termination (or such shorter period as may be required by Unique’s Customer), its termination claim, which shall consist exclusively of the items of Unique’s obligation to Seller that are listed in subsection (c) above. Unique may audit Seller’s records before or after payment to verify amounts requested in Seller’s termination claim. Unique will not have any obligation to make payments to Seller under this Section if Unique terminates Unique’s obligations under the Order because of a default or breach by Seller. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller expressly agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Unique and its affiliates, and each of their customers, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns (“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, lawsuits, losses, costs, expenses, damages, judgments, penalties, and liabilities of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which arise out of or result from (a) Seller’s breach of, or failure or delay to perform its obligations under, the Agreement; (b) any negligent or more culpable act or omission of Seller or its directors, officers, employees, agents, or sub-suppliers; or (c) any bodily injury, death, or property damage caused by the Goods and/or Services. .

Seller shall hold Unique’s Property on a bailment basis and bears the risk of loss of, theft and damage to Unique’s Property. Unique’s Property shall (i) be used exclusively by Seller for performance of its obligations under the Agreement and for the benefit of Unique; (ii) be and remain conspicuously marked by Seller as the property of Unique or its customer, (iii) not be commingled with the property of Seller or with that of a third person, (iv) be removed only upon Unique’s instructions, unless such removal is for normal repair and maintenance, in which case Seller shall provide prior notice to Unique of the date, expected duration, maintenance to be completed and location of such intended removal; (v) be held at Seller’s risk and insured at its expense in a replacement cost amount with loss payable to Unique (evidence of insurance to be furnished upon request); (vi) be maintained at Seller’s expense, in good condition capable of producing Goods that meet the applicable specifications, and (vii) not be modified without Unique’s written consent. All replacement parts, additions, improvements, and accessories to Unique’s Property will become part of Unique’s Property immediately upon attachment to or incorporation into Unique’s Property, unless they can be removed without damaging Unique’s Property. Seller grants to Unique a purchase money security interest in Unique’s Property, and any portion thereof, as well as in any work-in-process, raw materials, drawings and other items dedicated to constructing any Unique’s Property and agrees to perform any act and execute any document reasonably necessary to perfect Unique’s security interest in Unique’s Property. Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) Unique is not the manufacturer of Unique’s Property nor the manufacturer’s agent nor a dealer thereof, (ii) Unique is bailing Unique’s Property to Seller for Seller’s benefit, (iii) Seller is satisfied that Unique’s Property is suitable and fit for its purposes, and (iv) UNIQUE HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FITNESS, CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, DESIGN OR OPERATION OF UNIQUE’S PROPERTY OR ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNIQUE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO SELLER OR ANYONE CLAIMING BY OR THROUGH SELLER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER RELATING TO OR CAUSED BY UNIQUE’S PROPERTY. Seller will immediately release to Unique upon request, and Unique may, at any time with or without reason and without payment of any kind, retake possession of Unique’s Property. Seller will release the requested Unique’s Property (i) FCA loaded (Incoterms 2020) at Seller’s plant properly packed and marked in accordance with the requirements of the carrier selected by Unique or (ii) to any location Unique designates, in which event Unique will pay Seller the reasonable costs of delivering Unique’s Property to the location Unique designates. Seller will not sell, lend, rent, encumber, pledge, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of Unique’s Property. Furthermore, Seller will not assert, or permit any person claiming an interest through Seller to assert, any claims of ownership to or any other interest in Unique’s Property. Seller will be responsible for replacing or repairing, in Unique’s sole discretion, Unique’s Property if it is stolen, damaged or destroyed regardless of cause or fault. Seller waives any lien or other rights that Seller might otherwise have with respect to Unique’s Property. Seller will own all Property needed to perform the Agreement that is not Unique’s Property (“Seller’s Property”). Seller will, at its expense, furnish, maintain in good condition, and replace when necessary Seller’s Property. While an Order for Goods remains in effect, Seller will not sell, destroy, or otherwise dispose of Seller’s Property without Unique’s prior written consent, and Unique may purchase Seller’s Property used exclusively to produce the Goods, at a purchase price equal to Seller’s unamortized acquisition cost or the fair market value, whichever is less. REMEDIES AND UNIQUE’S LIMITED LIABILITY. The rights and remedies reserved to Unique in each Order will be cumulative with and in addition to all other or legal or equitable remedies. Seller will reimburse Unique for any indirect, direct, incidental, consequential or other damages (including lost profits) caused or incurred as a result of Seller’s breach or by nonconforming Goods and/or Services, including without limitation costs, expenses and losses incurred directly or indirectly by Unique and/or its customer(s): (a) in inspecting, sorting, storing, reworking, repairing or replacing the nonconforming Goods and/or Services; (b) resulting from production interruptions; (c) conducting Recalls, customer field service actions or other corrective service actions; or (d) resulting from personal injury (including death) or property damage caused by the nonconforming Goods and/or Services. Unique’s damages include reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees, settlements and judgments incurred by Unique and other costs associated with Unique’s administrative time, labor and materials. In any action brought by Unique to enforce Seller’s obligations in connection with the production or timely delivery of Goods or transition of supply, or for possession of Unique’s Property, Seller acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages are not a sufficient remedy for any actual, anticipatory or threatened breach of the Order and that, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Unique may have, Unique shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach without posting of a bond, plus Unique’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in seeking such relief. UNIQUE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO SELLER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR MARKET SHARE OR DAMAGE TO BRAND VALUE), INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign, delegate or subcontract the Agreement or any rights or duties under the Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, that Unique may assign all or any part of the Agreement (a) to any person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Unique, or (b) to any person or entity in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of Unique’s assets or other transaction or series of transactions resulting in a change of control. Any attempted assignment or subcontracting without such consent shall be ineffective and will not relieve Seller of its duties or obligations under this Agreement. The Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the each party and its respective successors and permitted assigns. TRANSITION SUPPORT. In connection with the expiration or termination of the Agreement by either party, in whole or part, for any reason, Seller will cooperate in the transition of supply to an alternate supplier, including the following, which will collectively be referred to as “Transition Support”: Seller will continue production and delivery of all Goods and Services as ordered by Unique, at the prices, and other terms stated in the Order, without premium or other condition, during the entire period reasonably needed by Unique to complete the transition to the alternate supplier(s), including, at Unique’s request, providing a sufficient inventory bank of Goods covered by the Order, such that Seller’s action or inaction causes no interruption in Unique’s ability to obtain Goods and/or Services as needed. At no cost to Unique, Seller will promptly provide all requested information and documentation regarding, and access to, Seller’s manufacturing process, including on-site inspections, bill-of-material data, tooling and process detail and samples of Goods and components. Seller will, subject to Seller’s reasonable capacity constraints, provide special overtime production of Goods and Services, storage and/or management of extra inventory of Goods, extraordinary packaging and transportation and other special services as expressly requested by Unique in writing. Seller will, upon request by Unique, promptly return to Unique all Unique’s Property and/or Unique’s customer’s property in the same condition as when it was originally received by Seller. If the transition occurs for reasons other than Unique’s termination of Seller for Seller’s breach, Unique will, at the end of the transition period, pay the reasonable, actual cost of the assistance under this Section provided that Seller has advised Unique in writing prior to incurring such amounts of its estimate of such costs. If the parties disagree on the cost of Transition Support, Unique will pay the agreed portion to Seller, and Seller will accept the agreed portion without prejudice to Seller’s right to seek to recover any disputed amounts. SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS. During the term of the Agreement and for seven (7) years after Unique’s last purchase of the Goods for current model production (unless a different period is agreed in writing by the parties), Seller will sell Goods to Unique’s to fulfill Unique’s service and replacement parts requirements. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the price(s) for Goods during the first three (3) years of the 7-year period will be the price(s) set forth in the Order plus any actual cost differential for special packaging. For the remainder of this period, the price(s) will be based on the most recent price(s) under the Agreement, taking into account actual, documented differences in the cost of materials, packaging, and costs of production after any of Unique’s current model purchases have been completed, as mutually and reasonably agreed by the parties. At Unique’s request, Seller will make service literature and other materials available at no additional charge to support Unique’s service part sales activities. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by an authorized representative of Unique or Unique removes tooling from Seller necessary for the production of service parts, Seller’s obligations under this Section shall survive termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Unique and Seller are independent contractors, and nothing in the Agreement makes either party the employee, agent or legal representative of the other party for any purpose. Neither party has authority to assume or to create any obligation on behalf of the other party. Unique is not responsible for any obligation with respect to the employees, agents or legal representatives of Seller or its contractors. SEVERABILITY; NO IMPLIED WAIVER. The failure of either party at any time to enforce any right or remedy provided in the Agreement or by law on a particular occasion will not be deemed a waiver of that right or remedy on a subsequent occasion or a waiver of any other right or remedy. If one or more provisions of the Agreement should be or become invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties shall substitute the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that as closely as possible achieves the same business purpose as the invalid or unenforceable provision. .
