1              Preamble

 

Fischer Imaging produces and develops a digital mammography system, the specification for which is set forth on Annex E1 (the “Specification”)

 

PMS manufactures medical equipment for worldwide distribution.

 

PMS is interested in forming a strategic partnership with Fischer Imaging to integrate the Fischer Imaging Subsystem into a PMS-branded digital imaging system that PMS will market, sell and support.   In addition, the parties will investigate avenues to broaden the relationship to develop, market and sell additional valuable medical products and services.  In addition, both PMS and Fischer Imaging will leave the opportunity open for the mutual development of future technology.

 

To regulate their co-operation, the parties have resolved to conclude a master agreement with the following provisions:

4.2          Product updating / product modification

 

Fischer Imaging undertakes, after commencing batch production, to work on the further development and technical improvement of the products and submit to PMS suitable suggestions for the further development/adjustment. PMS shall be entitled to suggest product improvements itself or, if necessary, demand them from Fischer Imaging if this relates to the special requirements for Philips branding. Suggestions for product improvements will be presented and negotiated in good faith on a regular base between both parties. In order to ensure that the products have a consistent, reproducible quality, Fischer Imaging shall not perform any modifications to its product without written consent from PMS. The product delivered by Fischer Imaging shall conform to that at the time of release by PMS upon assignment of the PMS code no. The procedure described in Annex E2 shall apply (XMW – 11517).

or after a reasonable period of time after the request to modify the product has elapsed, serve notice to terminate the agreement.

 

In the event of extensive modifications, Fischer Imaging and PMS shall conclude a separate Development agreement. In such a case details shall be regulated in Annex E3: “Development of systems”

 

5              Planning and ordering

 

5.1          Requirements plan

 

To be able to correctly plan the quantity of products required by PMS, PMS shall inform Fischer Imaging once a year of its market estimate with regard to sales potential for the coming calendar year. Fischer Imaging and PMS shall, by means of a logistics agreement (Annex O1), agree on the parameters of requirement planning for each product delivered by Fischer Imaging and covered by this agreement.

 

PMS shall inform Fischer Imaging of the changed planning figures for the coming year in good time prior to expiry of a calendar year.

 

Quarterly meetings between both parties shall be targeted to control the business.

 

5.2          Purchase orders

6.2          Traceability

 

For reasons of quality assurance and product traceability PMS may request Fischer Imaging to give the products a serial number by means of which Fischer Imaging can document and evaluate/trace the production and supply data and by which PMS can document and evaluate/trace the utilization and quality data. The items will usually be safety-relevant parts/Products. The serial numbers, which are defined by PMS, shall be recorded on all documents accompanying the goods.

 

In the specification /parts list (Annex E1) Fischer Imaging is informed which data are necessary to identify the products, e.g.: product number, name, manufacturer, production date, serial number, technical parameters etc.

 

6.3          Drawings and tools

 

All the drawings, patterns and calculations lent for the purpose of executing orders shall remain the property of PMS. They shall be kept secret, must not be reproduced or used for other purposes and shall be returned if requested by PMS. Tools, patterns, drawings and other aids which are made in order to execute orders and which will be charged separately by Fischer Imaging shall become PMS’ property at the time they are made. The transfer of possession is replaced by Fischer Imaging keeping them on behalf of PMS free of charge; they may only be used to execute the orders and shall be handed over to PMS immediately free of charge if requested to do so after the contract has been processed or in the event of supply difficulties.

 



 

Fischer Imaging shall clearly mark the aforementioned items as the property of PMS and draw the attention of any third parties who wish to establish rights in them to PMS’ title. It shall inform PMS of any such event immediately. The cost of intervention shall be borne by Fischer Imaging.

7.2          Taking receipt of goods

PMS shall charge 2% of the price of delinquent product for each week or part of a week by which delivery takes place after the agreed delivery date. The penalty amount shall be limited to a maximum of 10% of the order sum. The order sum shall be calculated as the price multiplied by the quantity for each delivery batch.

 

Independent of penalty clause PMS can fix an extension for delivery. PMS may terminate the agreement with immediate effect if the period of grace (one week) is not observed and, if it is Fischer Imaging’s fault, demand compensation for non-performance. This applies mutatis mutandis to orders.

 

As soon as Fischer Imaging has reason to believe that it cannot provide the delivery or part of the delivery in good time, it shall inform PMS of this without delay. The additional expense incurred by PMS due to the delay shall be borne by Fischer Imaging. If PMS should declare itself willing to take receipt of the delivery despite the delay in delivery, Fischer Imaging shall bear the resulting additional cost, e.g. airfreight charges, express freight charges.

The transfer of the inspection duty to Fischer Imaging and the waiving of the duty to file a complaint in accordance with §§ 377 f. of the German Commercial Code (“HGB”) shall not constitute the waiving of contractual or legal guarantee and compensation rights.

 

7.6          Complaints

 

PMS will check the products delivered by Fischer Imaging for external intactness and completeness within a reasonable period, but not later than 30 days following delivery at the designated PMS or customer destination.

The change shall be laid down in writing. Currency moves have to be taken into account as follows: Should the EUR fluctuate more than 3.5% from the set rate as per contract date for a minimum period of 30 days, than Fischer Imaging and PMS each will incur 50% of the total difference in the fluctuation above 3.5% of the contracted rates.

This adjusted price shall be effective with the first firm PO received by FIC following the adjustment.

 

8.3          Cost price reduction

 

Fischer Imaging undertakes to perform cost price reduction of his products and procedures continuously to maintain the competitiveness of the products of PMS. Fischer Imaging shall make proposals during the price change and price review meeting (acc.

13.2        Scope of warranty

 

If there are any defects in the products delivered, PMS can at its discretion demand free replacement or elimination of defects. In urgent cases PMS may also eliminate the defects itself at Fischer Imaging’s expense after informing Fischer Imaging in advance. If an elimination of defects requested by PMS is to no avail even after expiry of a reasonable period of grace, PMS may demand a reduction in the agreed price, serve notice to terminate the agreement with immediate effect and demand compensation for non-performance. Any further warranty and compensation rights, including consequential damage, shall not be affected thereby. In particular, PMS may demand reimbursement of the costs it has incurred due to the examination, if PMS is forced, on account of above-average occurrence of defects, to perform an incoming goods inspection itself in contradiction to the provision contained in Paragraph 7.6 or have it performed by commissioned third parties. PMS may either hold any goods about which a complaint has been filed in safe-keeping or return them to Fischer Imaging for the account and at the risk of Fischer Imaging. On the date when PMS sends the notice regarding the returned goods, the title in the goods shall return to Fischer Imaging. The transfer is replaced by the fact that PMS holds the goods in safe-keeping for Fischer Imaging.

 

Any defects which are only found during processing of the products by integration or during operation shall entitle PMS to also demand reimbursement of the costs expended to no avail.

 

Reporting of defects is done by “Quality Fault Report for Purchased Parts” and “List of costs” as now are or hereafter may be in force. Details are described in Annex O3.

 

13.3        Term of warranty

 

The term of the warranty shall be twelve (12) months from date of installation (end of installation) or fifteen (15) months from date of shipment, whatever comes first.

 

Replacement or elimination of defects will prolong the term of warranty of the replaced or repaired product for another twelve (12) months, as the case may be. The term of warranty for service and spare parts shall be eighteen (18) months from date of shipment.

 

13.4        Epidemic defects

 

Epidemic defects are defects, of the same nature or with the same cause, which in relation to a continuous period of 3 calendar months or more, occur in more than 5% of the products delivered. The basis of this shall be the statistics kept up to date by PMS. If an epidemic defect is found, PMS will notify Fischer Imaging in writing without delay. Epidemic defects must relate to failures of the product to comply with the Specifications, and must relate to a set of products that exceeds five (5) in number.  PMS will provide Fischer Imaging with all documentation necessary to verify the epidemic defect.  In response to the notice received from PMS, Fischer Imaging shall create a corrective action plan that shall be reviewed and approved by PMS.

 



 

13.5        Remedying epidemic defects

 

In the case of epidemic defects PMS shall be entitled to free replacement of the product (including any exchange necessary locally) and to payment of an all-in handling charge by PMS (see Annex O3). Fischer Imaging shall bear all the costs incurred as a result of the occurrence of the epidemic defect and shall hold PMS harmless from all third-party rights in this respect.

 

If any epidemic defects cannot be remedied or cannot be remedied within a short space of time by replacement deliveries, PMS shall, in addition to the rights regulated by Para. 13.2, also be entitled to postpone the scheduled acceptance dates until the epidemic defect can be proved to have been remedied.

 

13.6        Interruption in the period of limitation

 

Limitation of the aforementioned warranty shall be interrupted as soon as PMS has sent Fischer Imaging a written notice regarding the existence of a defect.

 

13.7        Recalls

 

If, owing to the occurrence of a defect, the safety of the product is jeopardized or affected so that PMS decides, as a responsible manufacturer, to hold a recall campaign, PMS shall inform Fischer Imaging of it without delay.

Performance of the incoming goods inspection in accordance with §§ 377 - 378 of the German commercial code (“HGB”)

 

The contracting parties agree on an incoming goods inspection (GRI) on behalf of PMS.

 

The incoming goods inspection shall be explicitly commissioned for each purchase order; the cost of the inspection shall be included in the price of the articles ordered.

 

The scope of the inspection shall be based on the test specifications prescribed by PMS or agreed with it, which are an integral part of the Specification.

 

The contracting parties waive in agreement PMS’s duty to inspect and file a complaint in accordance with §§ 377 – 378 of the German commercial code although the contractual and statutory entitlement to compensation shall remain. The obligation shall be replaced by the detached, explicitly agreed incoming goods inspection at the contractor’s premises.

 

If defects occur at PMS earlier or later, which are due to an inadequate incoming goods inspection, PMS may take recourse to the contractor. The scope of the warranty and the periods thereof shall be based on the purchasing conditions of PMS. In the event of any faults occurring, the contractor shall without delay adept the incoming goods inspection to the new requirements and ensures that the sources of error are eliminated.

 

Notwithstanding the above agreements, PMS shall identify the goods, establish the quantity and check the consignment with regard to apparent damage in transit.

 

The contractor shall perform the specified inspections as a routine inspection, document them individually and file the documents for at least 10 years. The documents filed shall be made available to PMS on request.

 

Place of jurisdiction

 

The place of jurisdiction for any disputes resulting from the contract shall be Hamburg, Germany.

Object of the Agreement

 

1      Quality Cost Agreement

 

The goods delivered shall be inspected by PMS for apparent undamaged condition and completeness within an appropriate time. Notification of evident defects shall as a rule be effected within 6 weeks from receipt of the goods. Notification of hidden defects shall be effected immediately after their discovery. Payment for the goods shall not signify their approval as complying with the contract and free of defects.

 

PMS has established the zero defect strategy within its Quality Management Program. PMS expects from FIC to support the PMS strategy and observe the zero defect strategy for all the products and services of FIC, too. FIC shall support the delivery of products without any defect by continuous improvement, supervision, and analysis of all of its production and working processes.

 

For each purchased product FIC shall, on request of PMS, list and follow up quality assurance targets reconciled with PMS. The proof of reaching these targets shall be transparent and proved to PMS by giving PMS access to the respective documents.

 

The Supplier warrants that the goods delivered comply with the agreed specification, that they have no defects which impair their value or their suitability, and that they do not lack any promised characteristics. The Supplier also warrants that the goods supplied are free of design, material and manufacturing faults and are in accordance with the latest state of the art.

 

In the event of defects in the goods supplied FIC receives a Quality Faults Report of Purchased Products and a List of Costs (see below).

 

In the event of defects in the goods supplied, we shall be entitled at our option to demand replacement free of charge or correction of such defect. In urgent cases, we shall be entitled to remedy such defects ourselves at the cost of the Supplier. If we have requested correction of a defect and such correction is still not successfully effected after expiry of a reasonable period of grace, we shall be entitled to demand a reduction of the agreed price, or to rescind the contract in whole or in part, and to claim damages for non-fulfilment. Any further rights that we have to warranty or the payment of damages - including for consequential damage -  shall remain unaffected thereby. In particular, we shall be entitled to claim reimbursement of the costs incurred by us for inspection if the above-average occurrence of faults compels us to conduct incoming inspections over and above the usual level of random sample inspections (Master Purchasing Agreement, par. 7.6).

 

We shall be entitled to place nonconforming goods in storage or to return them to the Supplier at the latter’s cost and risk. Title to such goods shall revert to the Supplier on the date of sending of the notification of the return shipment of the nonconforming

goods. Transfer of possession of the goods shall be replaced by our safekeeping of the goods for the Supplier.

 

In the event of defects, which are not noticed until the goods are machined or processed, we shall also be entitled to claim reimbursement of any cost incurred by us to no avail.

 

In the event of rework or replacement delivery, the warranty period shall start again for the reworked part or for the replaced goods. (See Master Purchase Agreement)

 

For retention of our warranty claims beyond the warranty period, it shall suffice if we have notified the Supplier of the defect within the warranty period.

 

Our rights as set out above shall not be affected by a quality agreement (e.g. ppm, zero defects).

 

2      Place of jurisdiction

 

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes resulting from this Agreement shall be Hamburg, Germany.

•      PMS will provide a rolling 4-quarter, non-binding forecast. Regular delivery of the product will start in Q3 2005.

•      The forecast will be updated every quarter for the upcoming 4 quarters on the first day of the month prior to the beginning of that quarter. It will be PMS’s most accurate expectations for shipment requirements.

•      The forecast for the most current quarter will not exceed current in house orders with confirmed shipping dates within that quarter plus an additional 30% for forecasts units, where orders are not yet confirmed, but are expected with delivery required in that quarter.

•      Fischer will inform Philips about general slot planning.

 

2.  Delivery times

•      Lead-time for the product is 21 calendar days from receipt of purchase order until day of shipment.

•      For volumes higher than forecasted (more than additional 30%) every reasonable effort will be made to meet the lead-time for additional volumes.

•      If reasonable volumes are reached (approximately 100 units per year) both parties agree to establish a consignment stock at PMS premises.

•      All orders shall be considered firm and non-cancelable 21 days prior to the requested shipping date

•      In case of move outs PMS will inform Fisher and vice versa. Fischer will send a new confirmation within 2 days

•      Fischer will take express costs for transportation in case of late deliveries.

 

3.  Tender Business

•      Any single order for more than 5 systems will be considered a “Tender Order”.

•      Tender business shall be regarded as additional business to the forecast.

•      Every reasonable effort will be made to meet the shipping requirements, but the orders will not be subject to the 21-day shipping requirement for forecasted orders. Both parties will agree on a delivery schedule for every individual tender that meets the tender requirements.

 

4.  Shipment procedures

•      PMS preferred carriers are Panalpina or Menlo. (Contact addresses/phone number are listed at the end of this annex) Fischer will deliver all systems through these carriers to a Uni_Data Depot in Frankfurt.

•      Shipments procedures to destinations outside Europe will be described in a separate annex to be added, when such deliveries will start.

•      Packing will be in heat-treated wood. This standard packing is included in the system price.

•      Packing will only bear Philips name and logo.

•      In case special packing is required (e.g. water proof, etc.) PMS will bear the cost.

•      Fischer will hand over the goods to the carrier at the committed delivery date with company neutral paperwork ( no Fisher labels, signs or Fisher invoices are to be attached to the shipment) . On all paperwork the customer order number and the Philips code numbers have to be visible.
