DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Production-Intent Design Development of NuVinci® IVT for a Commercial ZTR Mower

INTRODUCTION

     This proposal addresses scope, cost and schedule for the development of a production-intent design of a NuVinci infinitely variable transmission Product (IVT) for use in a *** Zero Turn Radius mower (ZTR) application. Fallbrook is responsible for the development of the Product (IVT) suitable for use in the designated application that meets the designated cost targets and performance criteria.

     Hydro-Gear Responsibilities

     Hydro-Gear is responsible for the development of the mating Transaxle suitable for the designated application. [Figure 1] Hydro-Gear will develop and deliver to Fallbrook by *** a reasonably acceptable plan for the development of the Transaxle and its start of production on or before the first day of *** , subject to Fallbrook’s performance under the Development Program. Hydro-Gear’s project schedule will include delivery milestones that correspond closely with milestones for Fallbrook’s development of the Product (IVT). In order to maintain continuity between the teams and ensure a quality design, Hydro-Gear will present concept layouts and hold design reviews on the same schedule as the Product (IVT) design throughout the project. Both companies will design appropriate assembly tools needed for prototype assembly and installation of the final prototype design into the target application. Hydro-Gear will also perform against the Development Program in order to support Fallbrook’s development of a Product (IVT) that meets the cost target.

     Hydro-Gear is responsible for the manufacturing of the Product (IVT), housings, upstream/downstream gearing, controls and other related parts/assemblies required to commercialize the Transaxle.

     Hydro-Gear will develop and deliver to Fallbrook no later than *** , a reasonably acceptable sales plan for the marketing, launch and sale of the Transaxle assembly in order to achieve volume requirements.

TERMS

     Product (IVT)

     The Product (IVT) includes specifically the core power transfer components (planets, rings, idler, axial force mechanism, bearings, and related components), the Product (IVT) mounting structure, bypass, lubrication and internal cooling features (excludes external case features) and an internal shift mechanism capable of interfacing with an actuator or shift control linkage in conformance with the agreed upon Product Specification and layout. [Figure 1] Development of this linkage is expected to be a collaborative effort with Hydro-Gear. The Product (IVT) must have a bill of material part cost of less than *** .

     Design Control During the Development Program

     The controlling models and drawings for the Product (IVT) will reside on the Fallbrook servers until such time agreed to by the parties. The controlling models and drawings for the Transaxle will reside on the Hydro-Gear servers. Both parties will maintain adequate design control and tracking of changes necessary to insure proper use of data. After the Final Design Review, all Product (IVT) design changes must be approved in writing by Hydro-Gear.

     Design Reviews

     Both Fallbrook and Hydro-Gear will identify and make available skilled individuals necessary to adequately assess and validate the results of each design review. Reviews will be scheduled in advance to provide sufficient time to prepare and coordinate selected individuals. The Product Specification, progress to each phase, costs and technical concerns will be discussed at each design review.

     Testing

     Fallbrook is responsible for the acquisition and maintenance of the test equipment, fixtures and instrumentation used at its facility to validate the Product (IVT) to the reliability standards defined in the Product Specification. Hydro-Gear will be responsible for the acquisition and maintenance of the test equipment, fixtures and instrumentation used at its facility to validate the Transaxle to the specified reliability standards.

     Changes

     Actual costs associated with changes after prototype release will be born by the party requesting the changes, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Changes that affect the other party’s prototype hardware will be changed or replaced at the expense of the party making the change, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Actual costs associated with revisions to the

Product Specification will be born by the party requesting the change, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties.

     If the Parties disagree on whether a requirement of the Product Specification was actually achieved, then both company’s CEOs shall meet and confer for a period of up to at least 30 days in order to attempt to resolve the disagreement or otherwise reach terms under which the companies can proceed.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DELIVERABLES

FALLBROOK R&D ACTIVITY

     Scope: This effort is intended to provide guidance for the production-intent Product (IVT). It will include testing different configurations targeted at key cost saving measures, as well as failure mode evaluation, performance and durability. A detailed test plan will be developed which will include the following if appropriate under the specification:

 

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

     • Characterization of performance with external coolers removed (relying on convective cooling)

     • Characterization of performance with the pump removed (relying on splash lubrication)

     • Characterization of performance with varied lubrication levels

     • Thermal testing, particularly characterization of performance after cold soak

     • Characterization of steady state and dynamic shift performance through different loads and speeds. Modifications to existing prototype hardware will be made to incorporate skew shifting methodology.

     • Testing as needed based on failure modes and potential design improvements

     Hydro-Gear Responsibilities and Deliverables:

     • Provide one test vehicle for use at Fallbrook for the target application

     • Support test effort with feedback on specific performance requirements and evaluation of test results.

This layout effort may also include dynamic modeling and steady state analysis to characterize key performance parameters and correlation of analytical results with test data. Hydro-Gear will be responsible for the input pulley(s) and output gearing as well as the housing interface for a given application; the exact housing configuration (i.e. single or split housing) will be defined in this phase. For cost considerations, it is desirable to have a common housing for the Product (IVT) components and gearing. Fallbrook and Hydro-Gear will develop internal housing interfaces independently as part of the concept design stage. Additionally, it is anticipated that Fallbrook will develop the User Interface with significant input and contribution from Hydro-Gear. Decisions will be made in this phase about specific interfaces between the subassemblies developed by Hydro-Gear and Fallbrook.
