SUPPLY AND PURCHASE
2.1
During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller will sell to Buyer the Engines as described in Exhibit 2.1, as may be amended from time-to-time, only for use in the Buyer’s Boats. Buyer agrees to submit Purchase Orders, as provided in Section 5.3 of this Agreement, for purchases of Engines and, so long as the Buyer is not in breach of

5



this Agreement, Seller agrees to accept such Purchase Orders and deliver Engines pursuant to such Purchase Orders.
2.2 The operational and communication requirements between the Parties for the supply and purchase of the Engines will be set forth in an annual Pricing Package (commencing with the Pricing Package for Model Year 2019) and, from year-to-year will become part of this Agreement. A representative Pricing Package is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 and each annual Pricing Package for Model Years 2020 to 2023 must be in substantially the same form as the representative Pricing Package attached hereto, unless otherwise noted in this Agreement or mutually agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller. References to dates in Exhibit 2.2 are for illustrative purposes only. Each Pricing Package will be fixed for the applicable model year and will govern until the Pricing Package for the following model year becomes effective. Each Pricing Package will reflect the terms agreed to in Exhibit 7.1, *****. In the event of any inconsistencies, variances or disagreements between this Agreement and the applicable Pricing Package, this Agreement shall govern and the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any terms of the applicable Pricing Package.
2.3
It is anticipated that the annual volume of Engines to be supplied and purchased under this Contract will not exceed 7,000 units per year. Should Purchaser request to purchase units in addition to 7,000 per year, the Parties will separately discuss potential capacity increases.
2.4
The Engines will meet the specifications as attached in Exhibit 2.1.

Seller will prepare packing specifications for the Engines. Such packing will be suitable for transportation, loading and unloading so as to prevent the Engines from rust condition and damage for delivery to Buyer. Seller will be the owner of all packaging (including returnable racks and containers) unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.
6.3
Periodically Buyer and Seller will cooperate to schedule and implement an inventory of all containers. Buyer is responsible for any damage or loss related to packaging incurred while the packaging is in the possession of the Buyer or its carrier or any of its other service providers.

Otherwise, the costs of any unique labeling will be borne equally by both Parties.

8



6.8
Labeling of product (for example engine engraving or bar code identification or emission parts type number identification for certification) will be in accordance with the GM 1738 Global Transport Label Standard unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. The Parties will agree on the best method for implementing any unique labeling requirements. If the local regulations requiring unique labeling are a result of requirements attributable solely to Buyer, then any additional costs will be met at Buyer’s expense and will be agreed by the Parties. Otherwise, the costs of any unique labeling will be borne equally by both Parties.

12.
CLAIMS
12.1
Buyer will submit to Seller a claim in writing for any Engines that (i) have been incorrectly included by Seller in a shipment to Buyer, (ii) have been omitted by Seller from a shipment to Buyer as a result of a short delivery or (iii) fail to meet the standards set forth in Section 11.1.
12.2
Claims under Sections 12.1(i) and 12.1(ii) must be submitted to Seller within forty-five (45) days of Buyer taking ownership of the Engines. Claims under Section 12.1(iii) must be submitted to Seller within one year of Buyer taking ownership of the Engines. Any claim not submitted within the periods stated above is barred from any remedy, except that if the submission of a claim is delayed due to an event of Force Majeure, the period of submitting such claim is extended for the duration of such event of Force Majeure.
12.3
To the extent that Seller accepts a particular claim, Seller will authorize repair, replacement, or provide credit to Buyer’s account for such defective, short shipped, wrongly shipped or damaged Engines. Seller’s only obligation under this Agreement is to provide a credit or repair or replace the part(s), at Seller's reasonably exercised option and expense, including the cost of the Engines or parts and transportation, including freight, insurance, and customs duty to the warehouse designated by Buyer.
12.4
If Seller reasonably decides to authorize the repair of the Engines by Buyer, then (i) Seller’s quality standard for such parts will apply, and (ii) repair rates at currency per hour and labor times will be mutually agreed upon before commencement of the repair work. Rework by Buyer on defective Engines will be carried out in accordance with the following procedure:

11

(b)
Seller provides the instruction and any necessary training of Buyer’s technicians for rework;
(c)
Seller provides the list of necessary repair parts; and
(d)
Seller gives a clear definition of the scope of rework to be carried out by Buyer (including which parts are authorized).

12.6
Buyer will contact its assigned Powertrain Regional Quality Manager to report and resolve problems.
12.7
In case the non-conformance to the warranty set out in Section 11.1 originates from a part or component supplied by a supplier of Seller, Buyer will provide Seller with reasonably requested assistance and support, including any documents, information, witnesses, technical experts and any other support which may assist Seller to pursue a claim for compensation against the supplier.
13.
FIELD ACTIONS; PRODUCT LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
13.1
The Parties recognize that, as a result of integration of the Engines into marine applications, for which Buyer will be solely responsible as well as other issues, the Engines may perform differently in a marine environment than in other vehicles and applications. As a result, a Field Issue may exist on Engines used in some applications that may not exist in other applications. Each Party will have the right, at its sole discretion, to institute any Field Action investigation and Buyer will have the right, at its sole discretion, to institute any Field Action in relation to the Engines it purchases under this Agreement that are incorporated into the marine application of Engines. The Parties agree to put into place internal policies, procedures and practices for the investigation and resolution of Engine quality issues that could lead to a Field Action. If a Party elects to institute a Field Action investigation which may lead to a Field Action decision, then the instituting Party will notify the other Party as soon as possible prior to instituting any Field Action, but not less than three business days prior to that Party’s anticipated Field Action decision.
13.2
The Parties agree to cooperate with respect to any Field Action investigation, including, but not limited to, exchanging relevant field and other information, at the discretion of the Parties acting in good faith. Notwithstanding this Section 13.2, either Party can require the Parties to enter into a confidentiality agreement before sharing such field and other information.

12



13.3
Buyer will be responsible for all costs associated with any Field Action initiated by Buyer that results solely from the integration of Engines into marine applications. Seller will be responsible for all costs associated with any Field Action initiated by Buyer or Seller that results solely from Seller’s failure to cause the Engines to be free from defects in materials or workmanship.
13.4
Buyer will be responsible for the defense and all costs of product liability claims and litigation involving or brought against either Party resulting solely from the Buyer’s integration of Engines into marine applications, whether based on negligence, strict liability or any other legal theory for (i) damage to property (ii) personal injury or (iii) death, except to the extent that such product liability claims and litigation relate solely to Seller’s failure to cause the Engines to be free from defects in materials or workmanship.
13.5
With respect to any actual, potential, or threatened claim described in Section 13.4 above, the Parties hereby agree to (i) communicate and cooperate with each other and, if required, with the appropriate insurance carrier, to the fullest extent reasonably possible in investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim and in litigating the matter; (ii) refrain to the fullest extent reasonably possible from taking positions adverse to the interests of each other; and (iii) not, except in enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, institute any claim, action or proceeding, whether by cross claim, third party claim, interpleader or otherwise, against each other.
13.6
With respect to field product quality issues, the Parties agree to work together to resolve the quality issues.
13.7
Buyer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all suits, actions, claims, judgments, debts, obligations or rights of action of any nature or description, (other than product liability and recall claims, which shall be governed by Sections 13.1 to 13.6, inclusive) (collectively, “Claims”) and all costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Seller and its Affiliates in connection therewith, arising out of or relating to the Engines resulting from Buyer’s actions, including Buyer’s integration of Engines into the marine applications and Buyer’s promotion, marketing, distribution, sale and servicing of Engines; provided, however, this Section 13.7 will not apply to Claims to the extent resulting solely from Seller’s failure to cause the Engines to be free from defects in materials or workmanship. Seller will notify Buyer of any such Claim, promptly in writing upon receiving notice or being informed of the existence thereof. Upon such notice from the Seller, Buyer will promptly take such action as may be necessary to protect and defend, at its sole discretion and in its sole control, the Indemnified Party against such Claim, and will indemnify the Indemnified Party against any loss, costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith. Buyer shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Claim effected without its written consent.
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

13



13.8
Buyer will obtain and maintain pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, at its sole expense, the following types of insurance coverage, with minimum limits as set forth below:
(a)
Commercial General Liability covering liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, personal and advertising injury, and contractual liability - $10,000,000 each occurrence.

(b)
Commercial Product Liability insurance - $10,000,000 each occurrence.

(c)
Business Automobile Liability covering all owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles - $5,000,000 each occurrence, including all statutory coverages for all states of operation.

(d)
Workers Compensation - statutory limits for all states of operation.

(e)
Employers Liability - $1,000,000 each employee for bodily injury by accident and $1,000,000 each employee for bodily injury by disease.

If any coverage is written on a Claims-made basis, the retroactive date, if any, must precede the commencement of the performance of this Agreement. In addition, Buyer will purchase an extended reporting period if the retroactive date is advanced or if the policy is canceled or not renewed and not replaced by another claims-made policy with the same (or an earlier) retroactive date either during the term of the Agreement or within 3 years after completion of the Agreement.
All policies of insurance procured by Buyer herein will be written as primary policies, not contributing with nor in excess of coverage that Seller may carry. If Buyer’s liability policies do not contain the standard separation of insured’s provision, or a substantially similar clause, they must be endorsed to provide cross-liability coverage.
Buyer will provide Seller with a certificate of insurance evidencing compliance with the insurance requirements set forth above. Certificate(s) will provide that Seller will be named an additional insured on all liability policies (except Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability). The certificate(s) will provide that Seller will receive thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from the insurer of any termination or material reduction in the amount or scope of coverage.
Such certificates must be in a form acceptable to, and underwritten by insurance company(ies) reasonably satisfactory to Seller. By requiring insurance herein, Seller does not represent that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Buyer. The purchase of appropriate insurance coverage by Buyer or the furnishing of certificate(s) of insurance will not release Buyer from its respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

Addendum No. 2
Factory Warranty / Factory Quality
General Motors LLC will provide a limited factory warranty for “as shipped” quality issues on all dress parts purchased through GM Global Supply Chain (GSC). The terms of the warranty for OEM Marine engines are set forth in Section 11 of the Supply Agreement, dated __, 2016, between General Motors LLC and Malibu Boats, LLC. The factory warranty period commences when OEM takes ownership and ends when the products successfully pass through the OEM’s final quality inspection.
General Motors conducts annual Global Manufacturing System Built in Quality Assessments to ensure each Manufacturing Site meets the intent of all relevant Automotive Quality Requirements, including ISO/TS, AIAG and General Motors Customer Specific Requirements.
Engine Repair/Returns
GM will support a customer authorized repair of an engine with exchanged componentry at no cost to the customer.
All engine Returns require a GM authorized Return Material Authorization (RMA). For those RMA eligible engine returns that require removal of OEM value added content (includes perishables) GM will authorize a standard $100 per engine amount to cover the allowable costs expended by the OEM except that:
Engines and GM designated dress parts must have a GM-issued “Return Material Authorization” (RMA) before return shipment to a GM or supplier location.
The OEM customer is responsible for engine return shipping costs.
The acceptance of a Returned product and/or the issuing of an RMA will not automatically generate a replacement product for the OEM customer. A replacement product and the $100 per instance value added removal fee (if applicable) will only be issued based upon findings or confirmation from GM that the problem condition resulted from GM materials and/or workmanship.
At this time no Brazilian sourced engines will be returned to the source for evaluation. In those instances where the plant accepts responsibility for the defect and supports it with an RMA the customer may receive credit thru customer manager authorization. The disposition of the product will be handled on a case by case basis.
Contact Douglas Christian ***@***) for a GM authorized Return Material Authorization (RMA).

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This memorandum of understanding serves as official notice to all General Motors LLC approved OEM customers of the following roles and responsibilities as they relate to providing GM components.
If the component purchased from GM is not installed in a final product such as a motor vehicle, watercraft, lift truck, generator etc., the OEM must “ADD VALUE” to the GM product prior to resale.
•    
Note: For engines, "added value" is generally referred to as fuel, spark, accessory drive, coolant, paint, etc. Typically transmissions are installed in the OEM's final product and do not fall under the "added value" provision. Transmissions may not be purchased for the sole purpose of resale to a third party.
In order to secure and maintain OEM customer status, the following requirements must be met:
All OEM customers must have GM approved engineering capability, or have access to engineering resources.
All OEM customers must have (or have access to) an established service network capable of diagnosing and repairing the GM products purchased. OEM customers must also have an established method or network to distribute service parts to their repair locations.
All OEM customers must assume responsibility for application validation, and maintain records of all validation engineering activity. GM maintains the right to review validation engineering documentation.
In certain instances, GM may require OEM engine customers to provide a list of customers and their final applications (products) that use GM engines.
OEM customers agree to provide the GM OEM Sales Group with volume forecasts semi-annually, or as requested by their customer manager.
Where possible, it is preferred that the OEM customer has one centralized location responsible for all ordering and billing functions.
OEM Customer must serialize number all GM engines for service and warranty purposes (if applicable) and maintain accurate records indicating such. Transmissions are typically supplied to the OEM customer with a tag containing a serial number and build date.
When ordering engines, transmissions, or parts, the OEM customer must use the GM part number on their purchase order and any other correspondence. The OEM's part number may also be included.
GM will not provide engineering support for any customer considering the use of GM engines and/or transmissions for On-Highway applications. As a purchase condition, customer must demonstrate product capability & development for final application to the satisfaction of GM.

Exhibit 9.2- Notice of Change Process

OEM Notice of Change (NoC) Overview and Process

Purpose
Notify customers of upcoming changes to OEM products that could affect OEM customer application.

NoC MUST be issued for:
Any interface item (“customer use” feature) that is changing (fit/form/function rule)
Appearance change – even though fit/form/function may not be impacted, if customer will see a physical difference which may raise questions, we’d inform via NoC (i.e. new paint color/coating etc.)
Internal changes that could impact performance (power/torque), service (including torque specs), emissions, QRD, calibration, etc.
Major architectural changes to base engine (ex: going to PM rods, etc.)

NoC not required for (but is optional at OEM AE discretion):
Internal changes that do not affect any of the above criteria
Sourcing changes (which may affect piece cost)
Product discontinuation or new product introduction (this is an OEM Sales Group Responsibility via different communication protocol)
NoC is not to be utilized in place of a Service Bulletin (i.e. field action)
Pilot/SOP dates (unless OEM’s previously notified of dates and we change them)
    
Miscellaneous Notes:
Goal is to provide sufficient info to OEM’s to understand and address the changes in a timely manner.

Sending Protocol:
NoC Coordinator assigns change number and forwards to the affected customer list. Non user customers may be deleted for a particular NoC (ex: only MEFI customers receive MEFI NoC)

OEM NoC Process
1)
Application Engineer (AE) is the initiator and creates Initial Draft NoC.
NOTE: If Service Parts are referenced or impacted, NoC Draft is to be created
with support of CCA Service Engineering Supervisor.
2)
Initiator has option to have “cross review” with other AE’s, then forwards final draft to OEM EGM for approval (and cc to OEM Program Manager for 7 Year Plan impact)
3)
OEM EGM to review/approve.
- If revision required, return to initiator for updates and return to step #1
- If approved – forward approval to NoC Coordinator.
4)
NoC Coordinator assigns NoC Number, Issue Date and loads final version to website.
5)
NoC Coordinator sends NoC to appropriate customer base (Marine vs. On-Highway)
