Supplier shall identify all such Intellectual Property Licenses to InFocus in writing within 90 days of execution of this agreement.

 

4.6.6         Infringement

 

The term “Infringement Claim” shall mean and represent any claim that any Product or component thereof designed by Supplier or for Supplier by third parties other than InFocus infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights, including any patent, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual property right.

 

Supplier, at its own expense, shall resolve or defend any Infringement Claim made against InFocus, its Subsidiaries, or their direct or indirect customers, and shall indemnify them and hold them harmless against any loss, damage, or cost reasonably incurred by them as a result of any action or suit based on an Infringement Claim. The indemnity obligation of Supplier contained in the proceeding sentence is conditioned upon InFocus giving Supplier: prompt notice in writing of any such Infringement Claim, full authority to settle or to conduct the defense thereof, and at Supplier’s option and expense, reasonably necessary assistance and cooperation in said defense.

 

In the event that any Infringement Claim presents, in either party’s reasonable opinion, an unacceptable risk of an adverse judgment or results in such a judgment, Supplier shall, at its option and expense, either: Procure for InFocus and InFocus’ direct and indirect customers the right to continue the use of the Products; or Modify the Products, Service Parts or components thereof so that they become non-infringing while remaining equivalent in form, fit, function and quality. If neither of those alternatives is reasonably available to Supplier, either party may terminate upon thirty (30) days advance written notice this Agreement and any purchase order hereunder without liability for such termination, and Supplier shall accept the return of Products remaining in the possession of InFocus or its Subsidiaries subject to or likely to be subject to the Infringement Claim and Supplier shall refund to InFocus the price paid for such Products reflecting any discounts, it being understood that payment of such refund by Supplier for Products returned by InFocus shall not relieve Supplier of its other indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

 

In the event of modification or return of Products, Supplier and InFocus shall mutually agree upon the implementation process for making such modification or return. InFocus shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such modification or return.

4.18                                   Insurance.

If any policies have “claims made” coverage, Supplier and each other supplier and its subcontractors will maintain such coverage with InFocus, its officers, Subsidiaries, directors and employees named as an additional insured for a minimum of five (5) years after the permitted date of termination specified above.  Any such coverage must have a retroactive date no later than the date upon which work commenced under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

Additional Requirements.  All deductibles on policies providing coverage will be paid by Supplier or another supplier and its subcontractors. If Supplier or any other supplier is self insured for any matter, such entity agrees to respond to any claims or losses made against or incurred by InFocus in the same fashion as if insurance had been purchased with the same or broader coverage terms as what is generally available to similar entities in the same line of business.

All insurance policies will be written by a company authorized to do business in the territory and jurisdiction relevant to the particular coverage. All insurance polices will be written with appropriately licensed and financially responsible insurers.

1) Defects that would create a safety hazard to assembly staff integrating the Product into the InFocus television chassis.

2) Defects that would create a safety hazard for the end customer.

3) Product that is found to be D.O.A.

4) Product that is found to produce a picture that is unacceptable/distorted beyond use.

 

7.2  COST OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

When Supplier’s responsibility for the Defective Product has been determined by joint agreement by the parties, Supplier shall take responsibility for correcting the defect by repair, replacement, or credit, at Suppliers’ option. Prior to electing such option, Supplier shall consult with InFocus and use its best efforts to take InFocus’s preference, if any, into consideration.

 

7.3 PROBATION STATUS

In the event that Supplier’s Product consistently does not meet the Quality Level or Specification agreed to by the parties, InFocus reserves the right to place Supplier on Probationary Status for a period of 3 months. During this Probationary Status time, Supplier is required to demonstrate continuous Product Quality Improvement.

Failure to accomplish this improvement may result in termination of the Agreement and /or Purchase Orders, with no liability for specific Products which do not meet the Quality Target or Specification.

For each transaction where InFocus is to be the importer of record, Supplier is responsible for ensuring that the related commercial documentation accurately reflects the actual price paid or payable between InFocus and Supplier. It is Supplier’s responsibility to reconcile its financial records against commercial documentation in order to validate InFocus use of transaction value, whenever possible, for declarations to customs. When transaction value cannot be applied, the affected Supplier will apply sequentially the World Trade Organization valuation rules for InFocus transactions. Supplier acknowledges that it is knowledgeable about the requirements for transaction value declarations and agrees to comply with the same.

 

(f) Duty Drawback. Unless otherwise requested, Supplier will allow InFocus to be the importer of record for all Product shipments. If InFocus is not the importer of record and Supplier obtains duty drawback rights to Products, Supplier will, upon InFocus’ request, provide it with documents required by the customs authorities of the country of receipt to prove importation and to transfer duty drawback rights to InFocus if it has paid or arranged deposit of the subject duties.

(2) Country of Origin Marking. Except as provided in the applicable Agreement Amendment, Supplier will mark the Product containers, in English, as well as all Product units with its country of origin, in compliance with Section 304 of the United States Tariff Act. If the Product itself cannot be marked legibly due to size, then its immediate container must be marked with a signed certificate stating Country of Origin (manufacture) by quantity and part number (InFocus and Supplier’s).

 

(h) Government Compliance. Supplier will comply, and will cause each of its component suppliers and each of its subcontractors to comply, with all federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations applicable to the performance of such Supplier’s Transaction Documents and its Products and Service. Such compliance will include obtaining any approvals necessary to allow InFocus to sell, and its customers to use, the Products and Services.

* InFocus’ Listing of Restricted Materials and Chemicals correlates with the Material Composition Declaration Guide, Lists A and B, recognized by industry associations, for Electronic and Electrical Products. The list of compounds and their CAS numbers are provided in this work sheet.

 

Maximum concentration value such as 1000 ppm shall apply at the homogeneous material level. Homogeneous material means a material that cannot be mechanically disjointed into different materials or materials of uniform composition throughout. Mechanically disjointed means materials that can be separated by mechanical means such as unscrewing, crushing, grinding, and desoldering. A semiconductor component would have several homogeneous materials, i.e., the plastic housing, lead frame, tin plating of the lead frame wires, lead frame alloy, etc. An electric cable would have three materials, i.e., the internal conductor wire, the conductor wire insulation, and the outside cable jacket.
