Collectively, GM and Supplier are referred to herein as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party.”

A.     The Parties entered into an Agreement in Support of Development Program and an Access and Security Agreement, each dated as of February 14, 2011, a First Amendment to Agreement in Support of Development Program and Access and Security Agreement dated as of December 21, 2011, and a Second Amendment to Agreement in Support of Development Program and Access and Security Agreement Dated as of May 7, 2012 (the Agreement in Support of Development Program, as amended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Support Agreement” and the Access and Security Agreement, as amended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Access Agreement”).

B.    The Support Agreement provides that in connection with GM’s issuance of the CNG Purchase Orders, Supplier is to amortize its ED&D Costs related to the CNG Program over a specified number of production CNG Component Parts. GM agreed that should it cancel the CNG Program or Supplier’s production of the CNG Component Parts, and provided Supplier is not in breach of its obligations under the CNG Purchase Orders or the Support Agreement, GM would reimburse supplier for the ED&D Costs on the terms set forth in the Support Agreement.

The ED&D Payment will be paid in installments as follows:

(i)     Within 15 days after the execution of the Third Amendment, GM shall make a payment to Supplier of $1,949,640.

The ED&D Payment shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any obligations GM may have to Supplier related to the ED&D Costs other than the Excepted ED&D Costs, and Supplier hereby waives and releases any and all other past, present, and future claims against GM, arising from or related to the engineering, design and development of the CNG Program and CNG Component Parts other than the (i) ED&D Payment and (ii) any Excepted ED&D Costs. If GM cancels the CNG Program or Supplier’s production of the CNG Component Parts, and provided that Supplier is not in breach of its obligations under the CNG Purchase Orders or the Support Agreement, GM shall have no obligations or liabilities to Supplier relating to the engineering design and development of the CNG Program other than the reimbursement to Supplier of Supplier’s documented ED&D Costs up to the unpaid amount of the ED&D Payment and the amount of any Excepted ED&D Costs.
