  1.2. The scope of this project is divided into two parts:

 

  1.2.1. Mechanical (implementation of the web handling portion of the strap attach tool including all necessary electrical and human/machine interface or HMI sections). The machine Supplier will have responsibility for this portion.

 

  1.2.2. Electrical [***]. Alien Technology Corporation will have responsibility for this portion. This includes hardware, software and firmware needed to run this portion of the tool.

 

  1.2.3. Integration of the Mechanical and Electrical sections ([***]) of this project will be the responsibility of the Supplier in cooperation with representatives of Alien Technology Corporation.

 

2. Use of Equipment

 

  2.1. The intended use of this tool is to singulate straps from an incoming master roll, place the straps onto antennas at a rate of greater than [***], (see section 6 for the antenna type to be used as a reference for this throughput), then do a [***] for Alien Technology Corporation radio frequency identification devices (RFID) inlets in [***] format.

 

3. Purpose

 

  3.1. The purpose of this specification is to serve as a basis for:

 

  3.1.1. Establishing the machine configuration, defining construction, criteria and materials including hardware, software and accessories.

 

  3.1.2. Establishing performance requirements and defining test procedures that will determine acceptance of the machine and define process capability standards.

 

  3.1.3. This specification will supersede all other documents and specifications, written or verbal.

 

4. Clarifications, Additions and Special Features:

 

  4.1. A nondisclosure agreement between Alien Technology Corporation and Supplier will be signed before any technical data exchange or transfer between the two parties.

 

  4.2.

The Buyer may at any time by written order, and without notice to sureties or assignees, suspend performance hereunder, increase or decrease the ordered quantity or make changes in the applicable drawings, designs or specification, the method of shipment or packing, and/or place of delivery. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for performance of this Order, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the Order price or delivery schedule or both, and the Order shall be modified in writing accordingly. However, nothing in this clause shall excuse Seller from proceeding with the Order as changed or amended.

13. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT. It is understood and agreed that time is of the essence under this Order or any extension thereof effected by any change order.

If Buyer issues a notice of termination for default, and it is subsequently determined that Buyer’s termination under this clause is inappropriate, the termination shall be deemed by Buyer and Seller to have been originally issued under the clause entitled “Termination for Convenience.”

14. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Buyer may terminate work under this Order in whole or part at any time by the giving of written notice to Seller specifying the extent to which performance of work is terminated. After such notice the Seller shall immediately stop work under this Order, and within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Seller shall submit to Buyer its written termination claim. Failure of the Seller to submit its termination claim as provided herein shall constitute an unconditional and absolute waiver by the Seller of any claim arising from the Buyer’s notice termination.

Buyer reserves the right to verify claims hereunder and Seller shall make available to Buyer upon its request, all relevant books, records, inventories and facilities for its inspection and audit. In the event Seller fails to reasonably afford Buyer its right hereunder then Seller shall be deemed to have relinquished its claim asserted under this clause.
