for Components will be net of Plexus’ reasonable efforts to mitigate total Component liability in the supply chain, including any non-recurring costs from Plexus’ Suppliers related to these efforts.

 

Notwithstanding the above, Plexus may have OIX inventory on-hand or on-order from time to time as a consequence of Customer’s Demand cancellation, reduction, or reschedule, Plexus’ support of upside flexibility requested by Customer, the failure of Purchase Orders to consume previously Forecasted requirements, Customer’s failure to provide adequate or conforming supplies of Components to be consigned, supplied or managed by Customer, Customer allocations, end of life purchases that Customer approves in advance in writing, minimum order quantities that Customer approves in advance in writing, Customer-approved Engineering Change orders, or Customer-approved material change orders. Customer will be liable for such OIX on-hand or on-order in accordance with the provisions set forth below. Where Customer is liable for such OIX inventory and issues a Purchase Order in accordance with this Agreement and payment for such OIX, Customer shall, upon request, be entitled to delivery of such OIX inventory without further charge beyond the Component Value of Customer’s Component liability for such OIX inventory.

 

  b. Obsolete Components

 

Plexus will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a schedule change or Engineering Change, of the total Component Value of Customer liabilities related to Obsolete Components created as a result of the change. Customer agrees to review the Customer liabilities, and if Customer elects to proceed with the Engineering Change, Customer shall issue a separate Purchase Order and payment and written disposition for all items within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of notification by Plexus.

 

  c. Inactive and Excess Components

 

Plexus will notify Customer in writing as often as necessary of Customer liabilities related to Inactive and Excess Components in inventory. Customer agrees to review the Customer liabilities as communicated in writing by Plexus and remit a deposit to Plexus for the total Component Value of all Inactive and Excess Components within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the written request from Plexus.

 

The remittance of a deposit by Customer under this Agreement will represent a security to Plexus for Customer’s Component liability under this Agreement. Plexus and Customer will review any amounts on deposit with Plexus from time to time at either party’s discretion and make adjustments to the same to reflect the then-current Component Value of Inactive Components and Excess Components on-hand and on-order at Plexus. Plexus may hold any such deposits made by Customer under this Agreement in any manner at its discretion. Title and risk of loss for Components against which a deposit has been made shall remain with Plexus. Plexus will also retain responsibility to insure and warehouse such Components according to Plexus’ then-current practices. Notwithstanding, in the event Components for which Plexus has received a deposit are not consumed within six (6) months of receipt by Plexus, said deposit, at Plexus’ option, will be converted into a payment by Customer for such Components. In addition, in the event this Agreement or the manufacturing relationship between Customer and Plexus has terminated, any deposits from Customer then held by Plexus will convert, at Plexus’ option, into a payment by Customer for any Components on-hand or on-order at Plexus and relating to an Assembly. Upon the conversion of any deposit into a payment by Customer for Components, Plexus will ship such Components as soon as practicable FOB Plexus’ facility.

 

  d. Component Cost Purchase Price Variance

 

Plexus agrees to notify Customer of Component purchases related to any particular Component that will create adverse purchase price variance in excess of $[***] with respect to the aggregate quantity of such particular Component required to support any Customer Purchase Order. Customer agrees to issue a separate Purchase Order for the value of the purchase price variance plus markup as identified on Attachment A, or to change its Assembly Purchase Order(s) to reflect the revised unit purchase price including the adverse purchase price variance plus

  5. COMPONENTS SUPPLIED BY CUSTOMER

 

Customer may provide Plexus with Customer-Supplied Components for the manufacture of Customer’s Assemblies. Customer will be responsible as a Supplier to Plexus for the quality and on-time delivery of Components supplied to Plexus. Plexus shall be responsible for handling, warehousing and industry standard care for the Components. For Customer-Supplied Components that have not been purchased by Plexus, title shall be maintained by Customer, but risk of loss and insurance shall be Plexus’ responsibility. Plexus will not be liable for warranty or attrition in the manufacturing or related processes relating to Customer-supplied Components.

 

Customer’s inability to provide Components in a timely manner may affect Plexus’ ability to meet its delivery schedule. Any additional expenses that Plexus must incur due to delayed shipment as a direct result of a quality or delivery issue from Customer will be borne by the Customer. In addition, Plexus reserves the right to define a new schedule for delivery based upon the availability and condition of Components supplied by Customer. Any OIX on-hand or on-order as a result of Customer’s failure to timely deliver conforming Components shall be managed in accordance with Section 4 herein.

 

Process for managing customer owned inventory:

 

For all usable inventory previously purchased from Plexus and on-hand at Customer as of June 1, 2003, the following process will be used to consume inventory and provide credit:

 

1) Move all parts on-hand at Customer into a Customer Supplied (CS) location. This will make the components available to manufacturing.

 

2) At the end of each month Plexus will provide a status report of what has been taken out of CS for manufacturing.

 

3) Plexus will continue to ship and bill the full unit price for all Customer units.

 

Plexus will then issue a credit to Customer for the parts that were used in the month. The CS credit will be the Component cost set forth on Attachment A, plus [***]% ([***]% markup less [***]% handling, storage, and materials management fees)

 

4) Components that are Customer supplied beyond the balance of current on-hand inventory purchased from Plexus by Customer will be subject to full mark up.

 

5) All component procurement after consumption of the on-hand inventory will be full turnkey, subject to full mark-up. Customer will provide quarterly updates to any component pricing that has been negotiated by Customer for inclusion in the Plexus costed BOM for pricing purposes.

 

  6. QUARTERLY BUSINESS REVIEWS (“QBR”)

 

Plexus and Customer agree to meet quarterly, or as otherwise agreed by both parties, to discuss the state of business and to review business performance issues and improvement initiatives. The items to be reviewed include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  a. Customer and Plexus Business Trends

 

Customer and Plexus agree to review their business initiatives and any significant changes that may affect the relationship of Customer and Plexus. In addition, Customer will present business trends and performance to Forecast so that Plexus can better serve the current Customer requirements.

  14. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND CONFIDENTIALITY

 

  a. Proprietary Rights

 

As between the parties, all intellectual property rights in subject matter produced or developed by Customer during the term of this Agreement in connection with the design of the Assemblies shall be owned exclusively by Customer. As between the parties, all intellectual property rights in subject matter produced or developed by Plexus during the term of this Agreement in connection with the manufacture of the Assemblies for Customer shall be owned exclusively by Plexus. As between the parties, all intellectual property rights in subject matter produced or developed jointly by Plexus and Customer during the term of this Agreement in connection with the manufacture of the Assemblies for Customer shall be jointly owned by Plexus and Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14, changes to the design of the Assemblies (including all intellectual property rights therein) produced or developed by Plexus, if any, either alone or jointly with Customer (for example, to improve manufacturability or facilitate testing), shall be owned exclusively by Customer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer grants to Plexus a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, worldwide, limited right and license under Customer’s intellectual property rights in the Assemblies solely for Plexus to manufacture Assemblies for, and sell Assemblies to, Customer as set forth in this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, Customer hereby identifies all of the Forecasts, Purchase Orders, Assembly specifications and designs provided by Customer under this Agreement as Customer Confidential Information. Each party shall keep and instruct its employees and agents to keep Confidential Information confidential by using at least the same care and discretion as used with that party’s own confidential information, but in no case less than a prudent and reasonable standard of care. Information shall not, with respect to a party, be subject to such confidentiality obligations if it is: (a) in the public domain through no fault of the receiving party; (b) known to such party prior to the time of disclosure by another party; (c) lawfully and rightfully disclosed to such party by a third party on a non-confidential basis; (d) developed by such party without reference to Confidential Information; or (e) required to be disclosed by law, provided that the receiving party promptly provide notice to the disclosing party of such request or requirement so the disclosing party may seek appropriate protective orders.
