  1.5 Each shipment shall be accompanied by a packing slip that includes Customer’s part numbers, Purchase Order number, Quantity shipped and shipping documentation.

2.0 Product Forecasts and Orders

 

  2.1 Customer will provide Fine Pitch, on a monthly basis, a non-binding, rolling *** Product Forecast. The rolling Forecast is for convenience only, and neither party shall be bound or obligated thereby other than as provided in Section

 

* CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.


 

5.0 Material Procurement and Inventory Management, 6.0 Excess and Obsolete Inventory. Other than as provided for herein, Customer will not be bound by the Forecast or other sales information that it may provide to Fine Pitch.

 

  2.2 Fine Pitch shall treat all such forecasts as confidential pursuant to any existing Non-Disclosure Agreements in place.

 

  2.3 Customer will issue its Purchase Orders (“Orders”) for Finished Goods at least *** in advance of delivery. Customer shall separately place Orders for Non-Cancelable Non-Returnable (NCNR) components, or sign for liability, with Fine Pitch based upon the market lead time at the time of Order placement.

 

  2.4 As an alternative to firm Purchase Orders, Customer may issue Blanket Purchase Orders consistent with the accepted Forecast to Fine Pitch for Products. The value of such Blanket Purchase Orders will generally cover at least a *** of forecasted Products.
