RECITALS

WHEREAS, Contractor is engaged in and has expertise and desire to provide contract assembly services (the “Services”); and

WHEREAS, Client desires Contractor to perform such Services on Client’s electric vehicle products (the “Assembled Products”) from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Contractor shall perform the Services for Client as outlined in each order agreed to between the Parties from time to time, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Order”). Client hereby grants to Contractor during the term of this Agreement the right to perform such Services on Contractor’s Products, including the right to use Client’s materials, trademarks, data, technical information, know-how, and Confidential Information related to Client’s Products in connection with performance of the Services. Title to assembled Products passes to Client upon tender to the delivery point specified by Client. Title will transfer to Client even if Contractor has not been paid for performance, provided that Client will not be relieved of its obligation to pay for all Services in accordance with the terms hereof.

Contractor shall invoice Client monthly in arrears for all Services performed and associated shipping, handling, and other expenses related to the Products. Client must make payment within thirty (30) days of the date of each invoice. Client shall not, and acknowledges that it will have no right, under this Agreement, any Order, any other agreement, document or applicable law to, withhold, offset, recoup or debit any amounts owed to Contractor under this Agreement. Client is solely responsible for, and shall pay, and shall hold Contractor harmless from, all taxes that may be applicable under the terms of this Agreement or any Order (except for taxes for Contractor’s income, personnel, and property). If Client fails to make timely payment, then: (i) Contractor may suspend the Services; (ii) Client must pay interest in the amount of one point five percent (1.5%) per month or the applicable lawful rate, whichever is higher; and (iii) Client must pay all of Contractor’s costs of collections, including attorneys’ fees. All payments must be made in US Dollars. In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or at law, if Client fails to pay any undisputed amounts when due under this Agreement, Contractor may (a) suspend performance of the Services and/or delivery of the Products, (b) reject Client’s Orders; or (c) terminate this Agreement and/or Orders pursuant to the terms herein.

​

​

To secure Client’s prompt and complete payment and performance of any and all present and future indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities, Client hereby grants Contractor a first-priority security interest, in all Products supplied under this Agreement, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. Contractor may file financing statement(s) for such security interests, and Client authorizes Contractor to execute, on Client’s behalf, such statements or other documentation necessary to perfect Contractor’s security interest in such Products. No course of conduct and/or action in connection with Contractor’s exercise of the foregoing rights under applicable law shall lead to Contractor being unjustly enriched at Client’s expense.

Each Party represents, warrants, and covenants that it will perform its respective obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each applicable Order, and all applicable laws and regulations.

Contractor shall inspect all Client materials and parts upon receipt, and Client shall be responsible for all defective materials and parts. Client shall promptly remediate such defects, including but not limited to replacing broken or defective materials and parts, at Client’s sole cost and expense.

Client shall inspect all Assembled Products received under this Agreement within ten(10) working days of receipt (”Inspection Period”). Client will be deemed to have accepted Assembled Products unless it provides Contractor with written notice of nonconformance within the Inspection Period, stating with specificity all defects and nonconformities, and furnishing such other written evidence or other documentation as may be reasonably required by Contractor. All defects and nonconformities that are not so specified will be deemed waived by Client. If Client timely notifies Contractor of any nonconforming Assembled Products, and if Contractor is able to independently confirm that such Assembled Products are nonconforming, then Contractor, in its sole discretion, either (i) repair such nonconforming Assembled Products with conforming Assembled Products; or (ii) refund to Client such amounts paid by Client to Contractor for such nonconforming Assembled Products. Without limiting the foregoing, Client shall ship, at Contractor’s expense and risk of loss, all nonconforming Assembled Products to Contractor’s facility located in Mesa, Arizona, or to such other location as Contractor may instruct Client in writing. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE CLIENT’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE DELIVERY OF NONCONFORMING ASSEMBLED PRODUCTS.

Each Party shall use the Confidential Information provided by the other Party solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to take the same degree of care with the Confidential Information of the other Party as the Party takes with its own Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein, each receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information if and to the extent that such disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, or court order, provided that, as permitted by applicable law, receiving Party uses reasonable efforts, at disclosing Party’s expense, to assist the disclosing Party in limiting such disclosure. “Confidential Information” means: (i) any information that has been marked as “confidential” or “proprietary”; (ii) information whose confidential nature has been made known by the disclosing Party to the receiving Party; or (iii) information that, due to its character or nature, a reasonable person under like circumstances would treat as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (a) was in the receiving Party’s possession prior to the time it was disclosed by the disclosing Party; (b) is or becomes available to the general public through no fault of the receiving Party; (c) is disclosed to the receiving Party without restriction on disclosure by a third Party who has the lawful right to disclose such information; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving Party without the use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

​

​

Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Contractor and its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and permitted assigns (“Representatives”) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, charges, judgments, fines, costs, and expenses of any kind or character, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs of investigation, experts, and witnesses (collectively “Liabilities”), incurred by such Contractor or any of its Representatives arising out of, relating to or in connection with: (a) Client’s use of the Services, including, without limitation, any and all Liabilities associated with the Assembled Products; (b) a breach of this Agreement by Client or any of its Representatives; (c) the negligence, willful misconduct, or wrongful acts or omissions of Client; or (d) any infringement, misappropriation, and/or violation of intellectual property rights arising out of Client’s materials and/or the Assembled Products.

NOT WITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT , IN NO EVENT SHALL CONTRACTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOST BUSINESS, LOST SAVINGS, OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT EVEN IF ADVISED OR AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR LIABILITIES CAUSED BY CONTRACTOR’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR ILLEGAL ACTS, IN NO EVENT SHALL CONTRACTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE PRICE OF THE SERVICES PAID BY CLIENT IN RESPECT OF WHICH CLAIM HAS BEEN MADE. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, CONTRACTOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ASSEMBLED PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL END CUSTOMER AND END USER LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY.

This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter for one hundred fifty (150) days (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive 90 day period unless either Party provides written notice not to the other Party of its intent not to renew this Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term.

Each Order shall have the term set forth therein.

This Agreement and each Order may be terminated: (i) at any time upon mutual written agreement of the Parties; (ii) by Contractor, if Client fails to pay any amount when due; (iii) by either Party, if the other Party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and either the breach cannot be cured or, if the breach can be cured, it is not cured by the breaching Party within five (5) business days after the breaching Party’s receipt of written notice of such breach; (iv) by either Party upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event that lasts longer than thirty (30) days; (v) by either Party, if the other Party (A) becomes insolvent, (B) is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due, (C) files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, (D) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (E) applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver or custodian for its property or business; or (vi) by either Party for convenience after giving the other Party thirty(30) days’ prior written notice thereof anytime after the first ninety (90) days of the first Order entered into hereunder.

The provisions of this Agreement that, by their nature and content, should reasonably survive the completion, rescission, termination or expiration of this Agreement in order to achieve the fundamental purposes of this Agreement, shall so survive and continue to bind the Parties.

​

Neither Party shall be liable or responsible for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any portion of this Agreement (except for payments from Client), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the impacted Party’s reasonable control (“Force Majeure Events”):. The impacted Party shall give notice to the other Party, stating the period of time the Force Majeure Event is expected to continue, and shall use diligent efforts to ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized.
