1.1
Exclusivity of Terms; Entire Agreement; Buyer
1.1.a Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the terms of the Agreement are exclusive and contain the entire agreement of Buyer and Seller (sometimes referred to herein as "Parties[y]") with respect to the purchase by Buyer from Seller of goods and related services (collectively, whether goods or related services, "Goods"), and none of these terms may be added to, modified, or superseded except by written agreement or modification hereof signed by authorized representatives of Buyer and Seller, notwithstanding any terms which may now or in the future appear on Seller's invoices, quotations, acknowledgments, or other forms. Any shipment, delivery, or other tender of performance by Seller shall be taken as Seller's assent to and acceptance of the terms hereof, notwithstanding Buyer's payment or other acceptance of the Goods or Seller's performance.
1.1.b "Buyer" shall mean any Honda Company that purchases or is expected to purchase Goods under this Agreement. "Seller" shall mean any Seller Company that sells or is expected to sell Goods under this Agreement. As a result, each Buyer shall have the right to issue an order, purchase order, material release request, or other form adopted by Buyer as an order ("Order") to each Seller under this Agreement, and the Parties agree that each such Order shall be a separate contract between such Seller and the Honda Company issuing such Order. The Parties further agree, except as set forth herein, that the other Honda Companies or Seller Companies that are not parties to such Order shall have no obligations, liabilities, or responsibilities under such Order, and that any default under such Order or otherwise under this Agreement by Buyer or Seller shall not constitute an event of default by any other Honda Company or Seller Company under any other Order or this Agreement.
1.2
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller agree that the following, to the extent transmitted, including, without limitation, electronic transmissions, to Seller by Buyer or accepted in writing by Buyer as applicable to the Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference: models; drawings; Buyer's specifications, including without limitation Honda Engineering Standards; Seller's specifications accepted in writing by Buyer; quality control regulations and quality standards; guidelines for electronic transactions (including without limitation electronic data interchange); packaging and transportation guidelines; forms of Order; and other standards, procedures, guidelines, or specifications, all as replaced, substituted, amended, and in effect from time to time (collectively, the "Specifications").

Rev. 10/05/07
Article 2
Separate Contracts; Applicability
2.1
Each contract for the purchase and sale of Goods shall be entered into hereunder by Buyer's issuance to Seller, and Seller's acceptance, of an Order. Acceptance of any Order is expressly limited to its terms and the terms of the Agreement, and any additional or different terms are objected to without further notification by Buyer. Each Order accepted by Seller under the terms of this Section 2.1 shall incorporate all the terms of the Agreement and will be a separate contract, and any two (2) or more Orders hereunder are not intended to be parts of an installment contract, but shall be separate contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these Terms and Conditions for Purchase and Sale of Goods (these "Terms and Conditions") shall be applicable and effective from and after the Effective Date.
2.2
Each Order, when completed by Buyer, will be transmitted by hand, mail, courier, or facsimile transmission, or transmitted electronically to Seller in accordance with Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") standards and procedures or such other standards and procedures for electronic communication established as Specifications in compliance with Section 1.2 hereof. Buyer may also transmit Orders by telephonic means or other form of unwritten communication. Any Order transmitted by a form of unwritten communication shall be deemed delivered when received by Seller but shall be confirmed by Buyer in writing or electronically in accordance with EDI or other electronic communication standards and procedures.
2.3
An Order will be deemed to have been accepted by Seller upon the first to occur of the following: (a) Seller's first shipment or other tender of performance under the Order, (b) written acceptance by Seller, (c) acceptance by Seller via an electronic transmission sent in accordance with EDI or other electronic communication standards and procedures, or (d)Seller's failure to deliver written objection to Buyer's Order within eight (8) days of Seller's receipt thereof (or such shorter period as may be specified in the Order or any Specification).
2.4
Buyer shall have the right at any time to change any Order (whether by adjustment order or otherwise) as to Specifications, delivery, packaging, or means of shipment. If any such change is expected to result in a change in cost to Seller, Seller shall immediately inform Buyer of such fact and Buyer and Seller will agree upon an adjustment in the price or other terms of the Order to reflect the change, if such change can be demonstrated to Buyer's satisfaction.

Rev.10/05/07
Article 3.
Price, Taxes, Payment
3.1
The price(s) applicable to each Order shall be reached after mutual consultations and may follow submission by Seller of one or more quotations. A quotation shall be deemed accepted upon notice by Buyer to Seller of acceptance (whether such notice is written, electronic, or otherwise); provided, however, that if Goods are ordered prior to acceptance of a quotation, then pricing for such Goods shall be as agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.
3.2
All price quotations submitted by Seller to Buyer and all prices set forth in or with reference to each Order shall be
3.2.a F.O.B. Buyer's plant or other designated place of delivery specified by Buyer in the Order or otherwise in writing;
3.2.b Inclusive of applicable taxes (except those based on Seller's net income, revenues, and the like, those exempted under Section 3.3, or as otherwise specified by Buyer), excises, duties, importation fees, and any other fees directly related to the production, sale, or transportation of the Goods, except only as otherwise specified by Buyer; and
3.2.c In compliance with all laws, regulations, rules, or orders, and agency or association standards or other standards, applicable to the manufacture, pricing, labeling, transportation, warranty, use, licensing, approval, or certification of the Goods, whether foreign or domestic (collectively, "Applicable Laws").
3.3
Upon request, the Parties will cooperate in obtaining and furnishing to each other certificates, direct pay permits, or other evidences of inapplicability of, or exemption from, any sales, excise, or other taxes or duties to which any Party may be entitled. To the extent that Seller receives any such certificate, direct pay permit, or other evidence of inapplicability or exemption, Seller will not include any applicable taxes or duties in the price charged to Buyer.
3.4
Unless otherwise specified in a writing signed by Buyer, the payment terms for the Goods are "net 25th prox."
3.5
Any price quotations that have been accepted by Buyer shall be subject to increase upon not less than 60 days' prior written notice and Buyer's written consent. The notice shall contain adequate justification data, including reasons caused by persons other than Seller and not foreseen or foreseeable by Seller, for the proposed increase. Such price increases shall not affect any Orders that have been issued to and accepted by Seller.
| Terms and Conditions for Purchase and Sale of Goods - Revised 10-5-2007 | 3 |
3.6
In addition to any right of setoff or recoupment provided by law, Buyer and its affiliates (the "Buyer Group") may setoff against, or recoup from, any amounts owing to Seller or its affiliates (the "Seller Group") any amounts owing to any member of the Buyer Group by any member of the Seller Group, including, without limitation, damages (including reasonable attorney and professional fees and costs) resulting from breaches by Seller of its obligations to Buyer under any Order. Specifically, in the event of any member of the Seller Group's insolvency or financial distress, if the Buyer Group retains legal counsel or other professional counsel to provide services related to the Buyer Group's business relationship with the Seller Group, the Buyer Group shall have the right to recover reasonable fees and costs related to such legal or professional services, and specifically, to recoup and/or offset such fees and costs from amounts owing by the Buyer Group to the Seller Group.
Article 4.
Delivery
4.1
Time, quality, and quantity are of the essence in each Order and Buyer may cancel the Order or reject the Goods and/or return at Seller's expense any delivery (in whole or in part) of Goods not in conformity with the time, quality, and/or quantity specified in the Order or Specifications.
4.2
Delivery times specified are times of delivery of the Goods at Buyer's designated place of delivery.
4.3
In the absence of specific instructions contained in the Order or Specifications, Seller shall pack, label, and ship all Goods in a commercially reasonable manner selected by Seller and approved by Buyer, which will ensure timely, safe, and conforming delivery and the lowest transportation cost. All shipments shall be F.O.B. Buyer's plant or other designated place of delivery specified by Buyer in the Order or otherwise in writing.
4.4
Seller will inform Buyer promptly of any circumstance that is expected to result in any delivery time, quality, and/or quantity not specified by Buyer and also of corrective measures that Seller is taking to minimize the effect of such circumstance.
4.5 In the event of tendered delivery not in compliance with the times, quality, and/or quantities specified by Buyer, unless Seller has received notice of rejection or cancellation from Buyer, then Seller will ship conforming Goods at the earliest possible moment and by the fastest practicable and available means, but without any increase in any costs to Buyer.
4.6
All Goods received are subject, at Buyer's option, to inspection by Buyer or Buyer's designee within a reasonable time after delivery to Buyer's plant or designated place of delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that final inspection may not occur until the Goods are delivered to Buyer's plant. Payment by Buyer for any Goods does not constitute acceptance, and neither inspection nor payment shall relieve Seller of its responsibility to furnish conforming Goods.
| Terms and Conditions for Purchase and Sale of Goods - Revised 10-5-2007 | 4 |
Rev.10/05/07
4.7
Buyer may cancel any Order (in whole or in part) or reject any delivery (in whole or in part) upon Buyer's or Buyer's designee's determination that any of the Goods are defective or nonconforming or that delivery did not conform with the terms of the Order and, in the case of any such rejection, may instruct Seller as to the means and method(s) of cure or cover. If such instructions are given, Seller will deliver (at the earliest possible moment and by the fastest practicable and available means but without any increase in any costs to Buyer)- conforming substitutes or replacements for each defective or nonconforming item or delivery of the Goods. All defective or nonconforming Goods, which have been rejected due to quality problems may, at Buyer's option, be disposed of by Buyer or Seller, as determined by Buyer, at Seller's expense. Any Goods rejected because of a failure to comply with specified time, delivery terms, and/or quantity will be returned pursuant to Seller's instruction at Seller's expense. If Seller fails to give such instructions within a reasonable time, Buyer may, in Buyer's sole discretion, dispose of such Goods at Seller's expense.
4.8
Either Party may suspend performance during an "Excusable Delay", which shall mean any delay not resulting from the fault or negligence of the delayed Party and resulting from acts of God, acts of war, restrictions, prohibitions, priorities, or allocations imposed by governmental authority, acts of the other Party hereto, embargoes, fires, floods, winds, earthquakes, epidemics, unusually severe weather, and delays of similar natural or governmental causes. Excusable Delay does not include any strike, lock-out, shortage of labor, lack of or inability to obtain raw materials, fuel, or supplies (unless caused solely by priorities, restrictions, or allocations imposed by governmental authority), or other industrial disturbance unless Seller is using its best efforts to cure the cause of such delay and Buyer has approved Seller's detailed plans for assurance of timely and conforming delivery(ies) in the event of such specific delay and Seller is diligently implementing such plans. Nothing contained in this Section 4.8 shall limit Buyer's rights under Section 13.3.
4.9
If Seller discovers any fact that could with the passage of time result in an Excusable Delay or affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Orders issued hereunder, Seller will immediately (a) advise Buyer of such fact and (b) use its best efforts to take all measures and precautions to reduce the effect of the Excusable Delay and/or nonperformance upon Buyer's production. In addition, at any time at Buyer's request, Seller will furnish to Buyer (a) any such information as Buyer may request concerning matters the presence or absence of which could result in delays and/or non-performance, and (b) assurance or contingency plans, in such form as may be requested by Buyer, with respect to those matters.
| Terms and Conditions for Purchase and Sale of Goods - Revised 10-5-2007 | 5 |
Rev.10/05/07
4.10
Seller shall bear and pay all charges and expenses as may be required by Buyer, including those relating to production changes, additional labor, additional transportation charges, and cover, resulting from Seller's failure to make delivery in conformity with the times, quality, and/or quantities specified by Buyer.
Article 5.
Seller's Warranties and Representations
Seller warrants and represents to Buyer as to all Goods, which warranties and representations will survive the acceptance, use, or subsequent sale thereof by Buyer and the termination of this Agreement and any Orders issued hereunder, that:
5.1
The Goods will conform to all Specifications and will be in compliance with all accepted models, samples, and all written affirmations of fact made by Seller, and will be subject to a system administered by Seller (and acceptable to Buyer) for the identification, segregation, and positive control of defective items of the Goods; and
5.2
The Goods will be in compliance with any and all Applicable Laws; and
5.3
The Goods will be merchantable and, if made to Specifications made or furnished by Seller and accepted by Buyer hereunder, will be fit for the particular purpose(s) for which required by Buyer; and
5.4
Regardless of where delivery occurs, the Goods will be free of defects (except to the extent defects result solely from the negligence of Buyer) in manufacture, shipping, handling, packaging, or processing prior to arrival at Buyer's plant; and
5.5
The Goods will be free of lawful claims of any party; and
5.6
If Seller makes or offers a written warranty to retail purchasers, which warranty is to be passed by or through Buyer, such warranty (a) will be in compliance with all Applicable Laws as to form and content and will be furnished in copies and manner sufficient to permit Buyer and subsequent retail sellers to comply with such Applicable Laws and (b) will not limit in any way any similar or other warranty or representation of Seller to Buyer; and
5.7
Seller has obtained, or will obtain, any required approval by any governmental authority with respect to the sale, shipping, handling, packaging, processing, or use of the Goods, as applicable from time to time, and Seller will furnish Buyer with copies or other satisfactory evidence of all such approvals; Buyer, at its sole option, may obtain, or assist Seller in obtaining, such approval; and
| Terms and Conditions for Purchase and Sale of Goods - Revised 10-5-2007 | 6 |
Rev.10/05/07
5.8
Seller's obligations under (a) Article 6 of this Agreement or (b) any other agreement between Buyer and Seller shall not limit Buyer's rights or remedies in the event that the Goods or any portion thereof do not conform to Seller's warranties and representations; and
5.9
The warranties and representations contained in Sections 5.1 through 5.8, inclusive, are specifically for the benefit of Buyer and any person claiming by or through Buyer. Furthermore, the parties agree that the above warranties and representations extend to the future performance of the Goods for a period of time equal to the period during which Buyer is reimbursing its parent company, affiliated companies and/or dealers for consumers' warranty claims, and for such longer period(s) that may be set forth in the Specifications. However, the expiration of a warranty on a particular consumer's product is not to be considered an absolute bar to future claims of Buyer to Seller resulting from, by way of example, individual extensions of warranty as a matter of policy or replacement of Goods in the event of recall or other safety-related concerns, where the same are attributable to the Goods not conforming to Seller's warranties set forth in this Article 5.
Article 6.
Indemnity
6.1
Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer and Buyer's affiliates, subsidiaries, and representatives and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents free and harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability, claims, demands, or lawsuits, including attorney and other professional fees, arising from or relating to (a) the Goods (including costs and expenses related to any product liability claim or any recall ordered by any federal, provincial, state, local, or foreign government); (b) infringement of any trade names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, or any other intellectual property rights related to the Goods and/or Buyer's sale or use thereof; and/or (c) unfair competition by reason of sale or use of the Goods by Buyer. With respect to claims under 6.1(b) above, Seller shall further take any and all actions necessary to ensure that Buyer will be able to continue to purchase, use, and sell the Goods, including acquiring the necessary consents or licenses at Seller's sole cost and expense. In addition, Buyer may require Seller to modify the Specifications of the Goods or to source the Goods from another supplier to prevent any claims of infringement, which modification or re-sourcing shall be at the sole cost and expense of Seller.
6.2
Seller is responsible for the acts and omissions of Seller's employees, agents, or other representatives ("Seller's Agents") and, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, shall defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer and Buyer's affiliates and subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents free and harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability, claims, demands, or lawsuits, including attorney and other professional fees, arising from or relating to loss of property or injuries or death to persons, of any kind or nature, arising out of acts or omissions of Seller or Seller's Agents. For the sole purpose of furthering the foregoing obligation of indemnity, Seller hereby expressly waives any and all statutory and/or constitutional immunity to which, but for this waiver, it might be entitled (a) as an employer in compliance with the State of Ohio's workers' compensation laws or (b) under any other employee benefit statutes or similar laws of any jurisdiction.
| Terms and Conditions for Purchase and Sale of Goods - Revised 10-5-2007 | 7 |
Rev. 10/05/07
6.3
In the event of any claim or threatened claim which may be the subject of indemnification described in this Article 6, Buyer will give Seller prompt written notification thereof and provide Seller such reasonable assistance in the response and prosecution of any defense as Seller may reasonably request, at Seller's expense.
6.4
The provisions of this Article 6, and the indemnity obligations hereunder, shall survive this Agreement and any performance hereunder.
Article 7.
Insurance
7.1
Seller shall procure and maintain insurance, in amounts and coverage reasonable in the circumstances and acceptable to Buyer, but not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, at Seller's sole expense, with reputable and financially responsible insurance companies, insuring against any and all public liability, including injuries or death to persons and damage to property, arising out of or related to the Goods or Seller's performance hereunder. In addition, if Seller's Agents perform work at property owned or leased by Buyer, Seller shall furnish such additional insurance as Buyer may request in respect thereof, but in any event and without such request, workers' compensation insurance and unemployment compensation insurance as required by applicable state law and automotive liability insurance with a limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per accident. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller's Agents be deemed to be the employees of, or under the direction or control of, Buyer for any purpose whatsoever.
7.2
Seller shall furnish to Buyer certificates of all such insurance required hereunder and any renewals thereof signed by the issuing company or agent or other information regarding such insurance at any time promptly upon Buyer's request. Such policies shall provide for cancellation only subsequent to thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Buyer. Buyer's examination of, or failure to request or demand, any evidence of insurance hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver of any requirement of this Article 7, and the existence of any insurance shall not limit Seller's obligation under this Agreement.
| Terms and Conditions for Purchase and Sale of Goods - Revised 10-5-2007 | 8 |
Rev.10/05/07
7.3
Except as otherwise agreed by Buyer, Seller will, or will cause any carrier of the Goods engaged by Seller to, insure all shipments of Goods at full value. For purposes of this Section 7.3, and unless otherwise indicated by Buyer, "full value" shall mean quotation price plus freight cost.
Article 8.
Buyer's Property, Patents, Trade Secrets, Know-How
8.1
Unless otherwise specified in a separate written agreement between Buyer and Seller, all tools, tooling, equipment, dies, jigs, returnable containers (including racks and modular containers), Specifications, and other material (except Supplies as defined in Section 10.1), and all intellectual property related thereto and/or embodied therein, of every description furnished to Seller or paid for or to be paid for by Buyer, shall be inspected by Seller (whether manufactured by Seller or by others) for condition, compliance with Specifications, descriptions, and count, shall remain the sole property of Buyer, shall be plainly marked and/or otherwise clearly identified by Seller as "Property of Honda", shall be stored on Seller's premises, shall be stored and used in compliance with any instructions of Buyer and so as to prevent disclosure inconsistent herewith, shall not be used except pursuant to any Order or other writing signed by Buyer, shall be subject to Buyer's inspection at any time during business hours, shall be available for immediate possession on demand, and, in any event, shall be returned to Buyer at the earlier of (a) simultaneously with termination under this Agreement; or (b) the time that Buyer may specify under any agreement covering the same. Such property shall be insured by Seller in amounts equal to its full insurable replacement value at Seller's cost with loss payable to Buyer and Seller and shall be subject to Buyer's immediate possession and total control. Excepting only reasonable wear and use, such property in the possession of Seller shall be kept at Seller's risk, and Seller shall be responsible for all maintenance thereof. With respect to returnable containers, the applicable packaging and transportation guidelines of Buyer, as in effect from time to time, shall apply.
8.2
Any unpatented knowledge or information concerning either Party's products, production, or other methods, processes, scheduling, sources of supply, customers, marketing, or otherwise that the Party may disclose to the other Party attendant or incident to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed as part of the consideration hereunder and shall not be given other use, shall be retained in confidence by the Party to which disclosed, and, to the extent represented by or in samples, writings, drawings, or other tangibles, shall be returned to the disclosing Party simultaneously with termination under this Agreement or at any time upon demand. To be protected under this Agreement, the information or knowledge of Seller, (a) in written form must be marked "confidential", and (b) in any other form must be indicated as confidential at the time of disclosure and summarized in writing indicating the confidential nature of the information or knowledge disclosed by Seller to Buyer within thirty (30) days of first disclosure. Any and all such information received from Seller may be shared by Buyer with affiliates of Buyer, provided that Buyer shall endeavor to ensure that such affiliates shall be bound by the same obligations of confidentiality as Buyer is obligated to Seller. The obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement shall not apply to any information or knowledge that (i) is publicly known at the time of disclosure to the receiving Party; (ii) becomes public knowledge without breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party; (iii) is known to the receiving Party at the time of the disclosure and not subject to any restrictions; (iv) is lawfully obtained without restriction (x) by Buyer from a third party, or (y) by Seller from a third party not affiliated with Buyer; or (z) is independently developed by the receiving party by employees of the receiving Party who have not had access to the confidential knowledge or information of the disclosing Party.

Rev.10/05/07
8.3
Except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, all inventions, products, processes, apparatus, or designs, patentable or unpatentable, conceived, invented, or originated by either Party prior to the Effective Date shall remain the property of that Party.
8.4
Seller grants to Buyer, and to Buyer's affiliates, subsidiaries, and designees, nonexclusive, irrevocable licenses under any applicable patent, copyright, or other property right to use, modify, publish, or distribute the same or any right therein without the payment of any royalties or similar fees, provided, however, that such grant is only for the purpose of the manufacture, assembly, distribution, and sale of products and parts by Buyer, its affiliates, subsidiaries, and designees.

Seller agrees to take such reasonable measures as may be necessary when requested by Buyer to cooperate with Buyer's supply chain security assessments and to confirm that Seller and its business partners are taking reasonable measures to ensure the physical security of all shipments.

Article 3 Transmissions
3.1 Risk of Transmission. Seller bears the risk that any Transaction or other data electronically transmitted by Seller to the Web Site or over the Internet is not properly transmitted or is garbled or lost in transmission.
3.2 Notice of Errors and Garbled Transmissions. Seller agrees to notify Buyer immediately if Seller becomes aware (i) of any failure by Seller to receive an electronic message through the Web Site or over the Internet or (ii) that a Transaction initiated through the Web Site or over the Internet has not been properly processed. Seller agrees to notify Buyer if any communication sent by Buyer is received in an unintelligible or garbled form.
Article 4 Validity; Enforceability
4.1 This Addendum has been adopted by Seller to evidence Seller's intent that any Transactions performed over the Internet or through the Web Site to which it attaches its Electronic Signature create legally binding contracts.
4.2 Any Transaction performed through the Web Site or over the Internet shall be considered to be a "writing" or "in writing" for purposes of applicable law. Either party at any time may cause a Transaction, whether sent or received, to be reproduced in a tangible visually perceptible form and may label or identify information so reproduced in such tangible form. Any such reproduction may be used for any and all purposes for which a written or printed original could be used had such Transmission been sent in a tangible visually perceptible form in the first instance, including, but not limited to, use in evidence in any court, including, for example, to prove contract terms or a debt or in regard to any dispute hereunder. Nothing herein precludes a challenge to the accuracy of such reproduction available on grounds other than that electronic communications were involved, or any objection also available as against use of a written or printed original.
4.3 A Transaction to which Seller has attached its Electronic Signature (a "Signed Transaction") shall be deemed for all purposes: (i) a symbol executed or adopted by the sender with a present intention to authenticate a writing, pursuant to Sections 1-201(MM) and 1-201(TT) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Ohio; (ii) to create a legally binding obligation of Seller; and (iii) to constitute an "original" when printed from electronic files or records established and maintained in the normal course of business. The conduct of the Parties to a Transaction pursuant to this Addendum, including the use of Signed Transactions pursuant to this Addendum, shall, for all legal purposes, evidence a course of dealing and a course of performance accepted by Seller in furtherance of the Agreement. Seller agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of Signed Transaction under the provisions of any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements are to be in writing or signed by Seller to be bound thereby. Signed Transactions, if introduced as evidence on paper in any judicial, arbitration, mediation, administrative or other similar proceeding, will be admissible as between the parties to a specific Transaction to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary form. Buyer shall not contest the validity of copies of Signed Transactions under the statute of frauds, nor contest the admissibility of copies of Signed Transactions under either the hearsay rule or the best evidence rule on the basis that the Signed Transaction did not originate or were not maintained in documentary form.

TOOLING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
For purposes of these Tooling Terms and Conditions (these "Tooling Terms"), "Owner" refers to Honda of America Mfg., Inc. ("HAM") unless another Honda Company is otherwise identified as "Owner" in a writing issued by HAM or such Honda Company, including without limitation, a Tooling Authorization (as defined in Section 17.3 of these Tooling Terms), and "Seller” refers to the Seller Company to which the Tooling is provided hereunder.
Article 1 Tooling, Record[s]
As used herein, "Tooling" shall mean all tools, tooling, equipment, dies, jigs, specifications, and other like material of every description furnished to Seller or paid for or to be paid for by Owner, including without limitation, the items identified on one or more Record(s) (as hereafter defined), if any, together with all replacements, additions, and substitutions thereof, and all Proprietary Materials (as hereafter defined) with respect thereto. As used herein, "Record(s)" shall mean any document or record (including without limitation, tooling records, tooling quotations, or other transmissions related to the Tooling) that is intended by the parties to identify such Tooling.
Article 2 Acknowledgement
Owner and Seller acknowledge that (i) the subject matter of these Tooling Terms is an integral part of Owner's business and (ii) these Tooling Terms are a supplement to any existing agreements between the parties with respect to the purchase and/or sale of production parts and/or materials for use by Owner or the Honda Companies, and if terms contained within these Tooling Terms conflict with those existing agreements, then these Tooling Terms shall control.
Article 3 Ownership, Identification
The Tooling is and remains the sole property of Owner and is to be plainly marked and/or otherwise clearly identified by Seller as Owner's property and is to be used in filling only the orders of Owner and/or the Honda Companies. Seller is expressly prohibited from selling, leasing, bailing, or otherwise disposing of any Tooling or portion thereof to any third party at any time, and this obligation shall survive the expiration, termination, or cancellation of these Tooling Terms.

Rev. 11/01/06
Article 4 Owner's Rights of Possession, Equitable Relief
Except as set forth herein, Seller will have no interest of any sort in the Tooling. Owner has the right to the sole, unencumbered, unqualified, and absolute possession of the Tooling at any time. In furtherance of this right, Owner or a Honda Company, in its sole discretion, may at any time (i) request Seller to remove the Tooling, in which case Seller shall immediately prepare it for shipment and redeliver it to the location specified by Owner or such Honda Company, freight prepaid, in the same condition as originally received by Seller, reasonable wear and tear excepted, provided, however, that Owner will reimburse Seller to the extent such freight cost exceeds the cost of shipping the Tooling from the Seller plant where the Tooling is located to the nearest Owner or Honda Company manufacturing plant; and/or (ii) exercise its unconditional right of entry, which Seller hereby gives to Owner, the Honda Companies, and their respective designees, to inspect at and remove the Tooling from the premises at which the Tooling is located without liability in trespass for such entry. In any case, Owner's, a Honda Company's, or their respective designees' inspection of Tooling is final as to both quality and quantity. Seller acknowledges that any failure by it to promptly deliver or remove the Tooling or to give Owner, a Honda Company, or their respective designees access to the Tooling to inspect and remove it would result in immediate irreparable damage and injury to Owner and/or the Honda Companies beyond the value of the Tooling itself or for which an adequate remedy at law may not exist. Therefore, Seller agrees that in the event of such failure or threatened failure for any reason whatsoever, and in addition to any other remedy to which Owner or the Honda Companies may be entitled, Owner and/or the Honda Companies shall be entitled to institute and prosecute proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain temporary and/or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce any provision hereof without the necessity of posting bond or proof of actual injury or damage.
Article 5 Installation and Testing
Unless Owner or a Honda Company specifies otherwise: Seller is responsible for installing the Tooling on or before the date on which Owner or such Honda Company specifies and in accordance with all terms and conditions specified by the Toolmaker (as defined in Section 17.3); and Seller is also responsible for testing the Tooling to determine if the Tooling is merchantable, fit for its intended purpose, and in compliance with all standards, specifications, and other instructions furnished by or on behalf of Owner or a Honda Company.
Article 6 Location, Storage and Owner's Inspection
The Tooling is and shall continue to be kept and maintained safely at the location(s) identified on the Records and shall not be removed therefrom without Owner's or a Honda Company's prior written approval. The Tooling is subject to inspection by Owner, any Honda Company, or their respective designees at any time during normal business hours. To the extent that Seller is permitted by Owner or a Honda Company to locate the Tooling at one of its supplier's facilities, Seller shall enter into a written agreement with such supplier with respect to such Tooling that is at least as stringent as the terms contained herein and shall make Owner and the Honda Companies third party beneficiaries to said agreement.

Article 7 Insurance and Risk of Loss
Seller, at its expense, shall procure insurance with reputable and financially responsible insurance companies to insure the Tooling at all times in amounts equal to its full insurable replacement value, with loss payable to Owner.

Seller shall provide a certificate or other evidence of insurance at Owner's request.
Article 8 Use, Maintenance and Inspections
The Tooling shall be used (i) in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, orders, and standards, and (ii) in conformity with all standards, specifications, and other instructions (including without limitation, Owner's, a Honda Company's, or their respective designee's instructions from time to time that design and engineering changes be made to the Tooling) furnished by Owner, a Honda Company, or their respective designee. The Tooling shall not be modified without the prior written consent of Owner or a Honda Company. Maintenance of the Tooling is solely Seller's responsibility for so long as the Tooling is subject to these Tooling Terms, whether or not the Tooling is in use. Upon Seller's initial receipt of the Tooling, and for so long as the Tooling is subject to these Tooling Terms, Seller will inspect both the Record and the Tooling and report promptly to Owner any defect, damage, or omission that does or could affect the value of the Tooling or its suitability for production. Absent Seller's prompt report to the contrary, Owner may rely upon the accuracy of the Records and the satisfactory condition of the Tooling.
Article 9 Indemnification and Release
Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Seller shall indemnify and hold Owner and the Honda Companies harmless from all claims, actions, causes of action, suits, damages, losses, and expenses of any nature, including but not limited to, attorneys' fees, arising out of the possession, storage, installation, maintenance, use, or control of the Tooling by Seller, its employees, or any subsidiary, subcontractor, or other person licensed under Section 13, including but not limited to, damages to the Tooling or other property of Owner or any Honda Company or the property of others and injuries or death to persons. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller hereby expressly waives any and all statutory and/or constitutional immunity to which, but for this waiver, it might be entitled (i) as an employer in compliance with the workers' compensation laws of the jurisdictions in which Seller is located, or (ii) under any other employee benefit statutes or similar laws of any jurisdiction.

Article 12 Waiver of Liens
As a continuing condition of Seller's possession or use of the Tooling, Seller, for itself and its successors and assigns, shall ensure that no third party obtains any lien or other right in the Tooling and hereby waives and relinquishes, and agrees to obtain from any third parties who might claim any such lien (including without !imitation mechanic's liens) or right, their written waiver and relinquishment of all rights, if any, to any lien or other right of retention whatsoever with respect to the Tooling. To the extent that any common law or statutory provision, including without limitation, Sections 1333.29, 1333.30, 1333.31, and 1333.41 of the Revised Code of Ohio and similar laws or statutes of any other jurisdictions, should be deemed applicable to the Tooling or Tooling Contract and should confer upon or create in favor of Seller any lien, right, or remedy, whether for work performed on or goods produced with or raw materials ordered in connection with the Tooling or Tooling Contract, Seller hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes, for itself and its successors and assigns, any and all such liens, rights, and remedies, agreeing that its rights and remedies are solely as set forth in these Tooling Terms.
