Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to satisfy any other requested volume increases from Company. Supplier shall reserve, on a priority basis, for Company sufficient capacity at the Manufacturing Plant to meet Company’s 52 Week Rolling Forecast. However, subject to Company’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, Supplier may reduce or reconfigure capacity if there is a material shortfall in Company’s actual requirements from the 52 Week Rolling Forecast.

Procurement of Components.

Generally. Except as provided in Section 2.c.ii, Supplier shall manufacture or purchase from Component Providers specified by Company (each a “Directed Provider”) all Components. Any Components to be purchased by Supplier from Directed Providers shall be purchased through purchase orders issued by Supplier on its own account, paid for and owned by Supplier pursuant to the terms and conditions (including price) agreed to by the Directed Provider and Company (“Directed Provider Terms”). Neither Party may make any amendments to the Directed Provider Terms as they exist as of the Effective Date that materially affect the other Party without the other Party’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Directed Provider refuses to accept a purchase order or other comparable document for the purchase of Components from Supplier on the Directed Provider Terms, Supplier shall issue such documents on behalf of Company and shall in all other respects be subject to this Section 2.c. Company shall compensate Supplier for all amounts paid by Supplier to Component Providers in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.a. If the Parties agree in writing that any Components should be paid for and owned by Company, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the value and any reduction in the Vehicle Payment for any Component inventory owned by Company. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the value and any reduction in the Vehicle Payment for any Component inventory owned by Company as of the start of the Manufacturing Services.

ii.

Company Purchases. Company shall directly purchase from Component Providers for its own account in the following circumstances:

(1).

All Components to be purchased during the Transition Period;

(2).

All Components which are subject to a non-assignable contract between Company and the Component Provider, provided that the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any necessary consents to assignment; and

(3).

As agreed in writing between the Parties.

If Company directly purchases a Component on its own behalf, Supplier’s possession thereof shall be deemed a bailment. Supplier shall bear the risk of loss of and damage to such Component until such time as the Vehicle is accepted by Company. Supplier shall use any such Components solely to produce Vehicles hereunder. Sections 2.c.iv through 2.c.vii shall not apply to such Components. Instead, the Parties will negotiate alternate procedures to minimize disruptions and inefficiencies when Company is the direct purchaser.

iii.

Transition Period. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transition the purchase of all Components (except those identified in Section 2.c.ii(2) and 2.c.ii(3)) to Supplier as expeditiously as possible and on a rolling basis as circumstances deem appropriate, or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete such transition no later than October 15, 2022. The period from the Effective Date until such time as the purchase of any Component is, or all applicable Components are, as context requires, transitioned to Supplier shall be the “Transition Period.” During the Transition Period, Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (1) support Company’s purchasing efforts in relation to the Components so as to minimize disruptions and inefficiencies; (2) assist Company in managing and communicating with Component Providers (including the resolution of any dispute as to price changes, maintaining the continuity of supply, and addressing other material changes to the terms of supply); and (3) assist Company in improving the commercial terms of procurement with Component Providers. Supplier shall timely provide any information reasonably requested by Company to permit Company to effectively purchase any Component on its own account. Company acknowledges that prior to becoming an approved provider in Supplier’s vendor management system (i.e., such provider is designated as an approved Supplier provider subject to Supplier’s generally applicable terms and conditions and Supplier and any of its Affiliates may purchase from such provider), any Directed Provider would be required to satisfy Supplier’s generally applicable supplier requirements; provided that the failure of any Directed Provider to satisfy such requirements shall in no way impact Supplier’s ability or obligation to purchase from such Directed Provider in accordance with this Section 2.c. The Parties shall agree in advance on the applicable terms and conditions prior to any Components being purchased by Supplier from such an approved Directed Provider on terms other than the Directed Provider Terms.

iv.

Alignment of Directed Provider Rights and Obligations. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to contractually align the rights and obligations of the Directed Provider, Supplier, and Company to those set forth in this Agreement, such that, by way of example, Supplier’s sole contractual responsibility to Directed Provider is to pay the contract price for Components as set forth in Section 2.c.xii, and that Directed Provider and Company are otherwise directly contractually accountable to each other with respect to their respective rights and obligations under the Directed Provider Terms. These Commercially Reasonable Efforts may include Company designating Supplier as a “Designated Purchaser” as defined in the Directed Provider Terms, the Parties seeking to enter into three party contracts with specified Directed Providers identified on Schedule 2.c.iv, or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing.

Pricing. Supplier shall purchase and pay Directed Provider for Components in accordance with the Directed Provider Terms. If any Directed Provider demands or imposes a price higher than that provided in the Directed Provider Terms, or imposes or threatens a supply cutoff unless that higher price is paid (or demands or imposes any other term of sale more favorable than that provided for in the Directed Provider Terms), Supplier shall promptly notify Company. Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Company in resolving the dispute with the Directed Provider and maintaining continuity of supply, but Company shall be responsible for the resolution, or the consequences of failing to resolve, the dispute.

vi.

Sourcing Communications. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith a process for best communicating and managing any actual or proposed Directed Provider pricing and Component sourcing changes in accordance with Section 9. Each Party shall promptly notify the other if it learns that any Directed Provider has made or proposes to make a price change or other material contract change for a Component. Any purchase by Supplier of Components subject to such revised Directed Provider Terms, including those subject to Section 2.c.v, must be authorized in advance by Company. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine a process to ensure availability of supply of such Component while Company negotiates pricing with the Directed Provider.

vii.

Cost Reductions. Supplier agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Company to improve the commercial terms of procurement with Directed Providers and otherwise take advantage of sourcing synergy opportunities, including those Directed Providers listed on Schedule 2.c.iv, which shall be specifically targeted by the Parties. Further, the Parties shall together in good faith attempt to reduce Master BOM costs, which may include Supplier directly participating in Company’s value analysis and value engineering (“VAVE”) and sourcing activities. During the term of the Agreement, Company shall retain any contract price reduction realized as a result of the Parties’ efforts, less any time or material costs incurred by Supplier. The Parties also anticipate that for vehicles other than the Endurance Launch Edition, the Parties will negotiate a savings sharing agreement.

viii.

Ordering. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an order/release approval process for Supplier’s purchase of Components to ensure that appropriate quantities of Components are ordered for the anticipated production timeline. Supplier shall order Components consistent with the 12 Week Quantity Build Schedule and 4 Week Quantity/Option Build Schedule or as otherwise appropriate to reflect Component Lead-times. The Parties will work together to determine the appropriate level of inventory of Components, which shall be based on anticipated Component Lead-times, minimum order quantities, production variability, and other relevant factors. Each Party shall use best efforts to avoid the build-up of excess inventory of Components. In addition, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a process for communication between the Parties as it relates to any Component for which an Engineering Change is being considered by Company. Company shall provide Supplier reasonable notice that a Component is in Company’s Engineering Change process (but has not yet been approved). Any such Engineering Change shall be in accordance with Section 9.

ix.

Scheduling. Supplier shall be responsible for managing all inbound logistics activities associated with Components, which costs shall be charged without mark-up to Company. Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to schedule the delivery of Components so as to maintain the production schedule and mitigate any scheduling impacts. Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize the inbound transportation and logistics costs for Components. In the event of any material delivery delays, a root cause analysis shall be conducted to determine the Party responsible for such delay, which Party shall ultimately bear the cost of Supplier’s efforts to maintain the production schedule. Supplier shall be responsible for direct communication with Component Providers on all delivery issues. Company shall support such discussions as reasonably requested by Supplier. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to develop a process by which potential expedited shipping arrangements are to be employed in a commercially reasonable manner, as well as an approval process for delivery continuity and fiscal management, which process shall include a mechanism for accelerated approvals in the event of a significant impact on production.

Inspection of Components. Supplier shall inspect Components for material defects and non- conformities in accordance with a mutually agreed written control plan. Supplier shall notify Company if it identifies potential beneficial modifications of the inspection procedures within the control plan, which modifications will be subject to the Engineering Change process in Section 9. The Parties shall mutually agree upon reporting criteria for Component defects and non-conformities identified by Supplier.

xi.

Liability of Company. Except as provided in Section 2.c.xii, as between Company and Supplier, Company shall bear sole responsibility for Directed Components, including their design, quality, conformity, and fitness for purpose, as well as the Directed Provider’s performance of its contractual, tort law, and other legal obligations, including Directed Provider’s compliance with quality and manufacturing processes as established by Company. Further, except as set forth in 2.c.xii, Company shall be directly responsible to the Directed Provider for performance of all obligations to the Directed Provider under the Directed Provider Terms. Company shall be solely responsible for the enforcement of claims against and the defense of claims brought by the Directed Provider that are subject to this Section 2.c.xi. Except as set forth in Section 2.c.xii, Company shall hold Supplier harmless for any claim or cost Supplier incurs arising out of the performance of such Component or of the Directed Provider, or Company’s failure to fulfill contractual responsibilities to the Directed Provider.

xii.

Liability of Supplier. Supplier’s sole responsibility with respect to Components are to perform those duties specifically undertaken in this Section 2.c. Supplier shall be responsible for the payment of the contract purchase price solely for Components needed to satisfy Company’s production requirements as set forth in the Build Schedules, and not for any minimum purchase quantities or other purchase obligations to Direct Provider beyond actual production requirements. Supplier shall hold Company harmless for any claim or cost Company incurs arising out of Supplier’s failure to pay any Directed Provider or otherwise perform its obligations with respect to Components under this Section 2.c. Supplier shall be solely responsible for the enforcement of claims against and the defense of claims brought by the Directed Provider subject to this Section 2.c.xii.

Testing. Supplier will test the Vehicle in accordance with the Test Procedures. Company shall be solely responsible for the sufficiency and adequacy of the Test Procedures and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Supplier harmless for any claim or costs arising therefrom, except to the extent such claim or costs result from Supplier’s negligence or failure to perform the Test Procedures. In addition, Company shall reimburse and hold Supplier harmless for any costs Supplier reasonably incurs as a result of a Vehicle’s failure to satisfy the Test Procedures, unless and only to the extent that any cost results directly from Supplier’s breach of its obligations with respect to the Manufacturing Services.

Completion of Manufacture; Inspection. If at any point during the production of any Vehicle, Supplier discovers any defects or discrepancies in the Vehicle that may impact Supplier’s ability to deliver the Vehicle in accordance with the 4 Week Quantity/Option Build Schedule, it shall give immediate notice (not to exceed 24 hours) to Company. The Parties shall agree upon Vehicle Acceptance Standards. After the completion of the manufacture of Vehicles, Supplier shall inspect the Vehicle to confirm compliance with those standards (“Supplier Inspection”), and, if compliance is confirmed, it shall move the Vehicle to a location as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties, at which time Company (or its designee) may, but is not obligated to, conduct its own inspection (“Company Inspection”). The Vehicles will be deemed accepted unless Company notifies Supplier in writing within one business day of when the Vehicle is made available for inspection that the Vehicle Acceptance Standards have not been satisfied, identifying the basis for non-acceptance (“Non-Acceptance Notice”). If the Parties disagree in good faith as to whether the Vehicle Acceptance Standards have been met, it shall be resolved in accordance with Section 23. Upon acceptance, Supplier shall have earned the Vehicle Payment for such Vehicle. At this point, control, title, and possession of the Vehicle shall pass from Supplier to Company, subject to Section 2.l.

Non-Satisfaction of Acceptance Standards. If Supplier discovers any defect or discrepancy or otherwise determines during the Supplier Inspection that the Vehicle Acceptance Standards have not been satisfied, Supplier shall promptly repair or correct any defects or discrepancies in Vehicles before designating the Vehicle as compliant. If Company identifies such defects or discrepancies during Company Inspection or at any time prior to the sale to the retail purchasers, Company shall have the right to repair or correct the defects or discrepancies; or to return the Vehicle to Supplier to do so. Company and Supplier shall determine the responsible Party who shall bear the cost that is related to the repair or correction of the defects and discrepancies on a case by case basis pursuant to the allocation of responsibility between the Parties contained in Section 4.d.

Packaging and Shipping. Company will have sole responsibility to ship the Vehicle. Supplier will package the Vehicle in accordance with Packaging Specifications. Company shall be solely responsible for the sufficiency and adequacy of the Packaging Specifications and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Supplier harmless for any claim or cost arising therefrom, except to the extent such claim or costs result from Supplier’s negligence or failure to comply with the Packaging Specifications. Supplier shall cooperate with Company, at Company’s request and cost, in connection with the shipping of Vehicles.

Other Items to be Supplied by Company.

Supplier’s other reasonable out of pocket amounts paid or to be paid to Directed Providers or other providers incurred as a result of the termination;

iv.

Supplier’s other reasonable costs actually incurred as a result of the termination;

Any unrecaptured NRE Costs; and

vi.

Except in the event of termination at Supplier’s election under Section 10 or termination by Company for cause under Section 11, depreciation on equipment idle up to 6 months after the Termination Effective Date.

In addition, if Supplier holds Vehicles, Components, materials, or work-in-process in excess of the volumes for which Company is obligated to purchase, Company may elect to purchase them on the same terms.

Company Purchase. All Components, Vehicles, materials, and work in process for which Company shall have paid one hundred percent (100%) of the amount due under Section 12.b shall be held by Supplier for Company’s account and Company may take possession of them on an AS-IS, WHERE-IS basis, not later than thirty days after full payment.

Duty to Mitigate Costs. Both Parties shall, in good faith, undertake Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate the costs of termination, expiration, or cancellation. Supplier (or Company, if it is the direct purchaser) shall make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cancel all applicable Component Purchase Orders and reduce component inventory through return for credit programs or allocate such Components and materials for alternate Company programs if applicable, or other customer orders provided the same can be used within 30 days of the termination date.

13.

Property of the Parties.

Property of the Supplier: All Property used by Supplier in performing under this Agreement which is not Company Property shall be and remain the property of Supplier and, if in the possession of Company, shall be deemed a bailment.

Property of Company. All Tooling and other machinery, equipment, transportation equipment, systems, technology, and other similar items that are provided by Company to Supplier without charge, or for which Supplier has been reimbursed by or on behalf of Company and are kept by Supplier in the Manufacturing Plant (“Company Property”), shall be and remain the property of Company and, as applicable, be deemed a bailment, provided that, for purposes of clarity, Transferred Assets as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not be Company Property. Supplier shall bear the risk of loss of and damage to all Company Property, unless caused by Company’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement. Company Property shall be used solely by Supplier to perform under this Agreement and not for any other purpose. Company Property may not be moved from the Manufacturing Plant or substituted with any other property without the written consent (which may be withheld) of Company, provided that if and to the extent that Company’s failure to consent to any transfer of or substitution of Company Property requested by Supplier and necessary for the performance of the Manufacturing Services materially interferes with Supplier’s ability to perform the Manufacturing Services, Supplier shall be relieved of such obligations. Company Property must be stored and maintained and clearly identified as Company Property through tagging or other commercially reasonable means to avoid comingling of Company’s Property with Supplier’s Property or the property of any third party, free and clear of Supplier-created liens and encumbrances, and in good condition. If this Section and Section 2.i conflict, Section 2.i shall prevail.

No License. Performance by either Party under the Agreement will not transfer any rights of ownership in, or license of, or constitute permission granted by to the owning Party to the other Party to use the owning Party’s property except (i) if otherwise consented to by the owning Party; or (ii) as relates to license rights only, to the extent necessary for the non-owning Party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

Return of Company Property. Upon the request of Company, all Company Property (except Company Property that has been consumed or otherwise disposed of with Company’s consent) must be immediately released or returned to Company or delivered by or on behalf of Supplier to Company or its designee, in accordance with Company requirements and this Agreement and at Company’s expense. Supplier hereby waives any statutory or other lien or lien rights it may have against or in any property or rights of Company (including any Company Property). When any Company Property is no longer reasonably necessary for Supplier to perform under this Agreement, Supplier will return all such Company Property (except Company Property that has been consumed or otherwise disposed of with Company’s consent) to Company or its designee at Company’s expense. If and to the extent that Company’s repossession of Company Property materially interferes in any material respect with Supplier’s ability to perform the Manufacturing Services, Supplier shall be relieved of such obligations.

14.

Confidentiality.

Confidentiality Obligations. In order to protect both Parties’ Proprietary Information and Technology, the Parties agree that each Party shall use the same degree of care, but no less than a commercially reasonable degree of care, as such Party uses with respect to its own similar information to protect the Proprietary Information and Technology of the other Party and to prevent any use of the other’s Proprietary Information and Technology other than for the purposes of this Agreement. This Section 14 imposes no obligation upon a Party with respect to Proprietary Information and Technology which: (a) was known to such Party before receipt from the disclosing Party; (b) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving Party; (c) is rightfully received by the receiving Party from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; (d) is independently developed by the receiving Party without a breach of this Agreement or in reliance on the Proprietary Information and Technology of the Disclosing Party; or (e) is disclosed by the receiving Party with the disclosing Party’s prior written approval. If a receiving Party is required by Law or a Governmental Authority to disclose Proprietary Information and Technology, this Agreement or any portion hereof, then such receiving Party agrees to give the disclosing Party prompt notice of such requirements, and, except as required by Law or a Governmental Authority, neither the receiving Party nor its representatives shall disclose the Proprietary Information and Technology until the disclosing Party has had a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate relief to contest the disclosure.

Employees, Agents, and Representatives. Each Party represents and warrants to the other that it has adopted policies and procedures consistent with the Party’s obligations under this Section 14 with respect to the receipt and disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, such as the Proprietary Information and Technology, with its employees, agents, and representatives. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that it will cause each of its employees, agents, and representatives to maintain and protect the confidentiality of the other Party’s Proprietary Information and Technology and shall be responsible for any breach thereof by any of its employees, agents, or representatives.

Term and Enforcement. The confidentiality obligation set forth in this Agreement shall be observed during the term of the Agreement and for a period of five years following the termination of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that a breach of any of the terms of this Section 14 may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, the non-breaching Party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching Party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching Party may be entitled at law or in equity. Such remedy shall not be subject to the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 23.

Return of Proprietary Information and Technology. Upon the termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Agreement all Proprietary Information and Technology shall, upon written request, be returned to the respective Party, or at the respective Party’s discretion, destroyed by the receiving Party.

15.

Intellectual Property Rights; Assignment.

Company Existing Intellectual Property. Company does not transfer to Supplier any Company Intellectual Property or any right, title, or interest therein, other than the limited right to use such Company Intellectual Property strictly and solely in connection with the manufacture of the Vehicle pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any related parts and Components thereof as may be authorized in writing by Company and Supplier shall not, without the prior written consent of Company, use, or permit the use of, any Company Intellectual Property, or any materials or information supplied by or on behalf of Company, for any other purpose. Any such use of Company Intellectual Property by Supplier shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions in Section 14. All Company Intellectual Property shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Supplier shall not reproduce, distribute, disclose, or sell to any Person or third party other than Company any of Company Intellectual Property or derivation thereof or any materials or information supplied by or on behalf of Company or its applicable Affiliate without the prior written consent of Company or the applicable Affiliate in each instance.

Goodwill and Acquired Rights. Any goodwill derived from the use by Supplier of Company Intellectual Property shall inure to the benefit of Company. If Supplier acquires any rights in or relating to any Company Intellectual Property, by operation of law or otherwise, these rights are deemed and are hereby irrevocably assigned to Company without cost or further action by either Party. Supplier agrees to take any and all actions in the future, including executing and delivering any and all requested documents, to assign all right, title, and interest in and to any such Company Intellectual Property.

Protection of Intellectual Property. Each Party shall use the same degree of care, but no less than a commercially reasonable degree of care, as such Party uses with respect to its own similar Intellectual Property and to prevent any use of the other’s Intellectual Property other than for the purposes of this Agreement.

Prohibited Acts. Supplier shall not: (i) take any action that may interfere with any Company’s rights in or to Company Intellectual Property, including Company’s ownership or exercise thereof; (ii) challenge any right, title, or interest of company in or to Company Intellectual Property; or (iii) make any claim or take any action adverse to Company’s ownership of Company Intellectual Property, unless in good faith protection of its own rights under this Agreement.

Supplier Existing Intellectual Property. Supplier shall retain all right, title, and ownership to any Supplier Existing Intellectual Property. Upon full payment of all monies due and owing under this Agreement, Supplier will grant to Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, right and license under Supplier’s intellectual property rights to the Supplier Existing Intellectual Property only insofar as is required for Company to use, sell, or distribute the Vehicle provided as part of the Manufacturing Services performed by Supplier pursuant to this Agreement.

Inventions and Improvements Made by Supplier. Except for Supplier Existing Intellectual Property (including manufacturing processes and/or manufacturing process improvements), in the event that during the Term, Supplier or Supplier Personnel make any inventions or improvements relating to the Vehicle or the Manufacturing Process (“Inventions and Improvements”), Supplier shall immediately furnish Company with all information in connection with such inventions or improvements, and any Intellectual Property rights derived from such inventions or improvements shall insure to the benefit of Company. If Supplier acquires any rights in or relating to such Inventions or Improvements, by operation of law or otherwise, these rights are deemed and are hereby irrevocably assigned to Company without cost or further action by either Party, except that Inventions and Improvements to the Manufacturing Processes shall remain Supplier Existing Intellectual Property, subject to the license set forth in Section 15.e. Supplier agrees to take any and all actions in the future to assign, including executing and delivering any and all requested documents, all right, title, and interest in and to any such Inventions and Improvements. Further, Company and its Affiliates shall have the right to apply for a patent in their own name or their employee’s name in any country on such Inventions and Improvements without any payment to Supplier or Supplier Personnel, and Supplier shall immediately comply with any reasonable requests made by Company or its Affiliate in connection with such patent application.

16.

Indemnification.

Third Party Indemnification. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party (“Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend, and hold the other Party and its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, and assigns (individually, an “Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses from third party claims (a “Third party Loss”) for property damage and personal injury or death asserted against an Indemnified Party, to the extent arising out of, or resulting from, directly or indirectly, the other Party’s (i) performance or failure to perform any of its obligations under, or breach of, the terms of this Agreement; (ii) negligent acts or willful or intentional misconduct; or (iii) violation of any Laws, in each case except to the extent resulting directly from an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct. Third Party Losses shall also include all Losses arising from Intellectual Property infringement, with Supplier to be the Indemnifying Party if the infringement arises out of the Manufacturing Services and Company to be the Indemnifying Party otherwise. Neither Party shall be entitled to indemnification except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Indemnification Procedure.

Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Indemnifying Party in writing of any Third party Losses and cooperate with Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. Except as provided in Section 16.b.ii:

(1).

Indemnifying Party shall immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Losses and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense.

(2).

Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Losses in a manner that adversely affects the rights of any Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(3).

Indemnified Party may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense, provided that if such counsel is necessary because of a conflict of interest with Indemnifying Party or its counsel or because Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense of a claim for which Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder, Indemnifying Party shall bear such expense to a reasonable extent.

ii.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.b, for any Third Party Loss brought or based on the alleged product liabilities of Vehicles or Components resulting in alleged injury to person or property (“PL Claims”) (i) Supplier agrees that Company shall have full power and control over the negotiation and defense thereof, including sole authority to retain attorneys and experts, establish defense strategies, and settle or take to trial PL Claims, without consultation with or consent of Supplier (subject to the final sentence of this subpart); and (ii) Supplier shall fully cooperate with Company, at Supplier’s expense, for the effective defense of such PL Claims to the fullest extent possible in investigation into the facts or circumstances surrounding such PL Claims, including responding to discovery requests, providing technical support and witnesses for deposition or trial, and otherwise fully cooperating in the defense and trial of the matter. Company shall not settle any PL Claims in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights of Supplier without Supplier’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the Parties agreeing that the payment of any amount as a result of such settlement shall not be deemed to adversely affect Supplier).

iii.

An Indemnified Party's failure to perform any obligations under this Section 16.b shall not relieve Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 16.b except to the extent that Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

iv.

If the Parties disagree as to which (if either) Party is entitled to indemnity, it shall be resolved in accordance with Section 23. If it is determined that one Party has been wrongfully identified by the other Party as an Indemnifying Party, the other Party shall be liable for all such Losses.

17.

Limitation of Damages.

LIMITATIONS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 17.c, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY UNDER ANY CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE CLAIM OR THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLE, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER SUCH PARTY WAS INFORMED OR WAS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT EXCLUDE OR LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM ITS NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LIABILITY CANNOT BY LAW BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED. FOR CLARITY, THE FOLLOWING SHALL BE DIRECT DAMAGES: (1) WITH RESPECT TO RECALLS, LMC’s REASONABLE COSTS OF ADMINISTRATION AND ISSUING NOTICE AND THE REASONABLE LABOR AND MATERIAL COSTS (INCLUDING THROUGH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS) OF REPAIRING OR REPLACING THE COMPONENT(S) AND ANY OTHER COMPONENT(S) IMPACTED THEREBY; AND (2) WITH RESPECT TO WARRANTY CLAIMS, LMC’s REASONABLE LABOR AND MATERIAL COSTS (INCLUDING THROUGH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS) OF REPAIRING OR REPLACING THE COMPONENT(S) AT ISSUE AND ANY OTHER COMPONENT(S) IMPACTED THEREBY.

CAP ON AGGREGATE LIABLITY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 17.c, IN NO EVENT SHALL SUPPLIER’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY IN ANY CALENDAR YEAR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT HERETO EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) $6,000,000 AND (II) 100% OF THE TRAILING TWELVE MONTH’S MANUFACTURING VALUE ADD PAYMENT FROM THE FIRST FULL MONTH PRIOR TO THE DATE THE CLAIM OCCURRED.

EXCEPTIONS. SECTIONS 17.a AND 17.b SHALL NOT APPLY TO DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES ARISING FROM (i) THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH HEREIN (PROVIDED THAT THE UNINSURED PORTION OF SUPPLIER’S INDEMNITY LIABILITY SHALL BE SUBJECT TO SECTION 17.b); (ii) LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF SECTION 14; (iii) LIABILITY FOR FRAUD OR WILFULL MISCONDUCT OR VIOLATION OF LAW; OR (iv) A PARTY'S OBLIGATION TO PAY ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COURT COSTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 24.d.

18.

Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain at all times during the term of this Agreement and at its own cost (unless otherwise indicated on Schedule 18) with an insurer of good financial standing and repute insurance policies meeting the coverage and requirements specified on Schedule 18; provided that: with respect to Product Recall and Product Liability insurance, the Parties shall: (i) have a commercially reasonable time (but not later than the start of production) to procure insurance; and (ii) if such insurance is not commercially available on mutually acceptable terms (provided that neither Party shall unreasonably withhold its consent to such terms), the Parties shall confer in good faith on any needed amendment to the Agreement and provided, further that for any joint insurance policies, neither Party shall be required to pay its portion of the premium prior to the date that such premium is due. Each Party shall provide the other Party upon request with sufficient proof that it has procured and maintained insurance coverage in accordance with this Section.

19.

Relationship of Parties. Supplier shall perform its obligations hereunder as an independent contractor. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to imply a partnership or joint venture relationship between the Parties. The Parties shall not be entitled to create any obligations on behalf of the other Party, except as expressly provided by this Agreement. The Parties will not enter into any contracts with third parties in the name of the other Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.

20.

Publicity. Without the consent of the other Party, neither Party shall refer to this Agreement in any publicity or advertising or disclose to any third party any of the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party will be prevented from, at any time, furnishing any information to any governmental or regulatory authority, including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any other foreign stock exchange regulatory authority, that it is by law, regulation, rule or other legal process obligated to disclose. A Party may disclose the existence of this Agreement and its terms to its attorneys and accountants, Component Providers, customers, and others only to the extent necessary to perform its obligations and enforce its rights hereunder.

21.

Force Majeure. Any delay or failure of either Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than the payment of money) shall not constitute a breach or default under this Agreement if, and only to the extent that, the delay or failure to perform is caused by unforeseen circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Party that failed to perform or whose performance was delayed, including acts of God; blackouts; power failures; inclement weather; fire; explosions; floods; hurricanes; typhoons; tornadoes; earthquakes; epidemics; component shortages or material shortages; sabotage; accidents; destruction of production facilities; riots or civil disturbances; acts of government or governmental agencies, including changes in law or regulations that materially and adversely impact the Party; provided that the non- performing Party was not a cause of such event or otherwise at fault or negligent and that such cause could not have been prevented or mitigated through Commercially Reasonable Efforts (each such event, a “Force Majeure Event”). The Party declaring a Force Majeure Event shall make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to continue to meet its obligations throughout the duration of the Force Majeure Event and shall notify the other Party promptly (in no event more than five business days of discovery of the event) when the Force Majeure Event begins (including an explanation of the nature of the Force Majeure Event) and when such Force Majeure Event has terminated. The suspension of any obligations shall only last during the time the Force Majeure Event continues and such reasonable time thereafter to allow said Party to respond to such Force Majeure Event. The Party affected by a Force Majeure Event shall have the duty and obligation to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event by making Commercially Reasonable Efforts to limit or prevent any delay or non-performance of any obligation under this Agreement. If the force majeure event can be eliminated or mitigated by a change to the Component or Vehicle or other changes, Section 9 shall apply. If the delay or failure of a Party to perform its obligations caused by the Force Majeure Event lasts (or is reasonably believed by both Parties that it shall last) more than sixty (60) days, the Party not declaring the Force Majeure Event may immediately, in its sole discretion, (a) cancel or modify any performance affected by the Force Majeure Event and seek alternate performance elsewhere; or (b) terminate this Agreement, provided that such action shall not give rise to a claim for damages against the Party unable to perform its obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 21 to the contrary, no delay or failure of Supplier to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be considered a Force Majeure Event, and such delay or failure to perform will not be excused, if and to the extent that it is caused by labor problems of Supplier such as, by way of example and not by way of limitation, lockouts, strikes, and slowdowns.

22.

Governance.

Steering Committee: The Parties will establish a steering committee as the top management body for the Parties’ cooperation on all relevant matters related to the Vehicle and to facilitate resolution of any disputes that may arise from time to time (“Steering Committee”). The Steering Committee shall be comprised of members appointed by Company from time to time and members appointed by Supplier from time to time. Either Party may convene a meeting of the Steering Committee on at least 10 business days advance notice unless each Party agrees to a different notice period. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to identify in advance topics to be addressed at a Steering Committee Meeting.

Project Management: The Parties shall each appoint a project manager as the daily responsible officer for each Party’s team. Each project manager shall be the contact person for the respective other Party. Each project manager shall be entitled to bring any issues forward to the Steering Committee.

23.

Dispute Resolution/Arbitration.

Negotiation. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to resolve disputes, within 20 business days of written notice of such dispute. Such efforts shall include escalation of such dispute to the Steering Committee. All negotiations, statements, and communications pursuant to this Section for the resolution of Disputed Claims will be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations and no such statements shall be deemed to be admissions of a Party. The Parties shall not rely on, or introduce as evidence in the arbitration or other judicial proceeding: (i) views expressed or suggestions made by a Party with respect to a possible settlement of the dispute; (ii) admissions made by a Party in the course of the settlement discussions; or (iii) the fact that a Party had or had not indicated a willingness to accept a proposal for settlement. There shall be no stenographic or audio record of the settlement discussions.

Arbitration. Any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, cause of action, disputes, controversies, and other matters in question arising out of or under this Agreement or the alleged breach of any provision hereof (all of which are referred to herein as “Disputed Claims”), whether such Disputed Claims arise at law or in equity, under state or federal law, for damages or any other relief, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA, by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA/ ICDR”) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) then in effect. The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA/ ICDR and shall be conducted by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, which is a Division of the American Arbitration Association. If the AAA/ ICDR is unable or legally precluded from administering the arbitration, then the parties shall agree upon an alternative arbitration organization, provided that, if the parties cannot agree, such organization shall be selected by the Chief Judge of the United States Federal District Court of the Northern District of Ohio.

Procedure. The arbitration shall be conducted by a tribunal of three arbitrators. Within ten days after arbitration is initiated pursuant to the Rules, the initiating Party (the Claimant) shall send written notice to the other Party or Parties (the Respondent), with a copy to the office of the ICDR designating the first arbitrator (who shall not be a representative or agent of any Party but may or may not be an ICDR panel member and, in any case, shall be reasonably believed by the Claimant to possess the requisite experience, education, and expertise in respect of the matters to which the claim relates to enable such person to competently perform arbitral duties. With fifteen days after receipt of such notice, the Respondent shall send written notice to the Claimant, with a copy to the office of the ICDR and to the first arbitrator, designating the second arbitrator who shall not be a representative or agent of any Party but may or may not be an ICDR panel member and, in any case, shall be reasonably believed by the Respondent to possess the requisite experience, education and expertise in respect of the matters to which the claim relates to enable such person to competently perform arbitral duties. Within fifteen days after such notice from the Respondent is received by the Claimant, the Respondent and the Claimant shall cause their respective designated arbitrators to select any mutually agreeable ICDR panel member as the third arbitrator. If the respective designated arbitrators of the Respondent and the Claimant cannot so agree within said fifteen-day period, then the third arbitrator will be determined pursuant to the Rules. Prior to commencement of the arbitration proceeding, each arbitrator shall have provided the Parties with a resume outlining such arbitrator’s background and qualifications and shall certify that such arbitrator is not and has not been a representative or agent of any of the parties. If any arbitrator shall die, fail to act, resign, become disqualified or otherwise cease to act, then the arbitration proceeding shall be delayed for 15 days and the Party by or on behalf of whom such arbitrator was appointed shall be entitled to appoint a substitute arbitrator (meeting the qualifications set forth in this Section 23.c within such 15-day period; provided, however, that if the Party by or on behalf of whom such arbitrator was appointed shall fail to appoint a substitute arbitrator within such 15-day period, the substitute arbitrator shall be a neutral arbitrator appointed by mutual consent by the remaining two arbitrators within 15 days thereafter.

Enforcement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, a Party may file a complaint limited to: (i) compelling arbitration; (ii) enforcing an arbitral award; or (iii) seeking a preliminary injunction or similar provisional judicial relief pending the outcome of arbitration. Such a proceeding shall be filed either (1) in any state court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Ohio; or (2) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and the parties expressly consent, and waive any objections, to subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue in such courts. In addition, nothing herein shall be construed to require arbitration of a claim or dispute brought by a Person who is not a Party to this Agreement, or affect the ability of any Party to interplead or otherwise join another Party in a proceeding brought by a Person who is not a Party to this Agreement.

24.

This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or changed in any respect except by an agreement in writing signed by an authorized officer or representative of each Party. The Parties may, subject to the provisions of this Section 24.e, from time to time, enter into supplemental written agreements for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement or any Schedule hereto. Any such supplemental written agreement executed by the Parties shall be binding upon the Parties.

Partial Invalidity. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a way as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If a provision is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Further Assurances. Following the Effective Date, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, as applicable, to execute such further documents and perform such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary to effect or complete the agreements and the transactions set forth herein.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable in any applicable jurisdiction, then as to such jurisdiction, and provided the essential terms of this Agreement for the Parties remain valid, binding, and enforceable, this Agreement shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable provisions without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Schedules and any addenda attached hereto or referenced herein, constitute the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and replace and supersede all prior agreements and negotiations by and between the Parties, provided that this Agreement does not supersede the Asset Purchase Agreement. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that no agreements, representations, warranties, or collateral promises or inducements have been made by any Party to this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein or in the Schedules and any addenda attached hereto or referenced herein, and that it has not relied upon any other agreement or document, or any verbal statement or act in executing this Agreement. These acknowledgments and agreements are contractual and not mere recitals. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and any Schedule and any addenda attached hereto or referenced herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail unless expressly stipulated otherwise, in writing executed by the Parties. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and pre-printed language on each Party’s forms, for example, purchase orders, this Agreement shall prevail.

Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that except as allowed in this sub-section, neither Party shall assign, delegate, or transfer, in whole or in part, this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations arising hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

Supplier shall have the right to assign its rights to receive monies hereunder without the prior written consent of Company; and

ii.

Supplier shall have the right to delegate its duties under this Agreement to one or more Subsidiaries, in which case the Subsidiary shall be solely responsible for performance of the delegated duty. Supplier will inform Company in writing within ten business days after exercising such right or assignment or delegation.

Waiver. Waiver by either Party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be considered as or constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving Party.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 24.m, this Agreement benefits solely the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, confers on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. The Parties hereby designate each Indemnified Party as a third-party beneficiary of Section 16 having the right to enforce such Sections.
