3. PRODUCTS AND QUANTITIES

(a) This Agreement is not a purchase order and does not authorize delivery of or payment for any goods.

SUPPLIER shall provide 100% and BUYER will purchase exclusively from SUPPLIER all BUYER’S requirements for bimetal product described in Attachment A (which is attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof) to all BUYER entities and affiliates globally at the prices shown thereon. SUPPLIER shall also provide 100% of all redesigned or new bimetal materials purchased by BUYER during the period of this agreement, provided SUPPLIER can meet BUYER’s specification for the new bimetal item.

SUPPLIER understands that BUYER has acquired, and may in the future acquire, businesses that have existing bimetal strip and parts suppliers and satisfactory histories. BUYER is not initially obligated to transition these arrangements to SUPPLIER. SUPPLIER will be asked to quote on all existing bimetal strip and parts that are purchased by any acquired company or any new bimetal strip and parts that BUYER may need to purchase from acquisition of new business, generation of new products or other means. SUPPLIER will be awarded these items provided; (1) the SUPPLIER pricing is market competitive per section 4(d) and (2) BUYER conversion costs are economically viable for BUYER. SUPPLIER understands a reasonable conversion period may be necessary.

BUYER understands that SUPPLIER will initially be manufacturing product at its Attleboro, MA facility. SUPPLIER will be initiating production at a China based facility commencing by the end of 2006.

(b) SUPPLIER and BUYER will work together in earnest to qualify SUPPLIER’s bimetal for all of BUYER’S applications. If SUPPLIER is not able to meet the technical performance specifications required for BUYER’s application. BUYER must then inform SUPPLIER of this in writing and give SUPPLIER 90 days to correct the situation. If SUPPLIER is unable to meet the specification, then BUYER is free to purchase this item for this application from other sources.

(c) On a monthly basis, BUYER shall provide to the SUPPLIER a three (3) month product forecast for all items listed in Attachment A from all locations including affiliates. Product forecasts may be provided in electronic format (Excel spreadsheet). SUPPLIER understands and acknowledges that the first and second months of each product forecast are firm build orders and the third months are merely estimates with no binding effect. For firm orders, BUYER shall be responsible to SUPPLIER for the full contract price. Forecast for all SMI items are defined in attachment E.

(d) SUPPLIER shall respond within two business days following receipt of each monthly Forecast via written or electronic communication. If SUPPLIER cannot accept the two months firm order or meet BUYER’S Forecasted quantities of Product, SUPPLIER will indicate as such in its response. SUPPLIER will include a description of any actions SUPPLIER would have to take to satisfy BUYER’s demand as set forth in that Forecast. Absent any such notice, SUPPLIER shall be deemed to have accepted such Orders and Forecasts.

(e) Except as provided in section 3 (a) above, BUYER agrees to place all of its orders with and purchase all of its requirements from SUPPLIER for the Products purchased as of May 31, 2005 during the term of this Agreement, unless SUPPLIER is unable to meet BUYER’s demand as set forth in a Forecast. If SUPPLIER is unable to meet BUYER’s average monthly demand (based on average of 12 month forecast), BUYER is free to purchase material from other sources until SUPPLIER is able to meet said demand.

3

(f) The consideration for this Agreement is the initial commitment of BUYER to purchase the items set forth in its initial purchase order.

(g) SUPPLIER will work to reduce lead-times during the course of this agreement. SUPPLIER will work toward a goal of 4 weeks lead-time for “B” items (non-SMI and non “C” items). To achieve this goal, SUPPLIER will need support and assistance from BUYER. This includes monthly forecasts from all sites, long range planning to level production, a means of minimizing expedite orders and communication of requirements via electronic data exchange. This is a long range, but important goal that will take significant effort from both parties to achieve. SUPPLIER agrees to work in earnest to meet the goal. The level of cooperation will dictate the degree of success.

4. PRICES

(a) Prices herein are Ex works in accordance with Incoterms 2000.

(b) Prices shall be in accordance with initial prices and adjustments to fabrication prices as shown in Attachment A (except as modified in Sections 4(d-e)).

(c) BUYER will not accept shipment at any increase in price above that indicated on this Agreement unless previously agreed to in writing (Attachment A).

(d) Both parties to this Agreement agree to meet on an annual basis to review market conditions. Specifically, this will include market pricing for BUYER’s products, expected volumes needed from SELLER to BUYER and the impact this could have on SUPPLIER’s cost structure, market pricing of SELLER’s products, and changes in raw material markets that could affect the cost structure of SELLER. If after reviewing all of these areas either party is dissatisfied in the “good faith” nature of the discussions, then either party has the right to open the contract and seek permanent changes to it.

(e) When SUPPLIER’s China operations are fully integrated and substantially complete, and when all BUYER product approvals have been substantially completed, SUPPLIER agrees to enter into discussions with BUYER to review additional price downs, provided that the costs of the SUPPLIER’s China operation are below the costs that were used in the 2005-2010 Agreement. See Attachment B for China Start-up assumptions.

5. DELIVERY

(a) SUPPLIER agrees to make expedited deliveries and pay for such deliveries provided the following conditions are all met;

(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, SUPPLIER shall not make commitments for material in production in excess of the amount or in advance of the time necessary to meet BUYER’s forecast. It is SUPPLIER’s responsibility to comply with this schedule, but not anticipate BUYER’s requirements. Goods shipped to BUYER in advance of schedule date minus 5 days may be returned to SUPPLIER at SUPPLIER’s expense. A shipment is counted as on time if it is shipped within –5/+0 days of the request

date, provide the request meets SUPPLIER’s standard 8 week lead-time. BUYER may change forecast quantities without restriction. Orders within 21 days of the original promise date cannot be rescheduled (pushed out or pulled in) unless reviewed and approved by SUPPLIER. Orders outside 21 days of the original promise date can be rescheduled out for up to 30 days from the original promise date. Reschedule in requests will be reviewed and accepted at SUPPLIER’s discretion. BUYER agrees to take pushed out items within 30 days of original promise date. Orders may be cancelled per Section 11. Rescheduled orders (pull ins or pushouts) will be excluded from SUPPLIER on time delivery metric. Increases in quantity will be considered a new order for the increased amount. Reductions in quantities will be considered cancellation of the reduced quantity.

(c) In addition to the packing and shipping instructions specified by BUYER, the goods shall be packaged in accordance with commercially acceptable standards, or to applicable BUYER specifications, to ensure safe arrival at BUYER’s location.

(d) Neither party will be liable for damages because of delays in or failure of performance when the delay or failure is due to acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, fire, earthquake, flood, strikes, war, epidemics, shortage of power, or other causes beyond such party’s reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, if the party (a) used commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or uses commercially reasonable efforts to remove the conditions, (b) notifies the other party promptly upon becoming aware of such condition, and (c) continues performance as soon as practicable after the conditions are removed. Provided non-delivery is a result of Force Majeure as described above, BUYER shall be entitled to obtain like Product from other sources to meets its immediate needs up to and until SUPPLIER can resume normal delivery.

BUYER’s purchase orders will define BUYER’s specification number and revision. In the event of specification changes (e.g working under deviations) SUPPLIER and BUYER agree to work together to make the specification change as quickly as possible. SUPPLIER and BUYER will agree on which specification is current and SUPPLIER will continue to provide products to those agreements until the specification is updated to reflect current practice. Notice of any SUPPLIER-requested changes or waivers in product characteristic specifications must be given to BUYER in writing and acknowledged by BUYER in writing prior to any deliveries being made of goods manufactured under revised specifications

BUYER is obligated to purchase SUPPLIER’s material supply for these items prior to change, up to the

5

forecast level for said items. If such changes result in a decrease or increase in SUPPLIER’s cost or in the time for performance, an adjustment in the price and time for performance may be made by the parties in writing, provided, however, that SUPPLIER notifies BUYER of the request for such adjustments within thirty (30) days after receipt by it of the change notice.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, both parties have signed and dated this document in the spaces provided below:

Attachment A: Goods & Pricing

Start point for pricing is the pricing in effect as of May 31, 2005. Reductions apply to all pricing in the 50 pound, 75 pound, and 100 pound, break quantities. Pricing for items released in less than 50 pounds quantities are the prices then in effect on May 31, 2005, unless changed by provisions 4(d) and 4(e) or raw material pricing.

All prices are in United States Dollars, one price per item regardless of BUYER location or SUPPLIER production location.

Cost Reduction schedule (reductions based on fabrication price excluding nickel)

The attached schedule defines the base prices at $2.80/lb nickel market price. All prices are varied based on the prior month’s LME nickel price. The nickel factors for all products are shown in the Attachment A. The formula for calculation of the current list price is as follows;

Given that;

LME = prior month’s average LME price/lb

Ni Factor = nickel factor as shown in Attachment A

Base Price = price by item shown in attachment at $2.80/lb nickel market price

List Price = current price for product

List price = base price + Ni Factor *(LME – 2.80)

Attachment B: SUPPLIER China Start-Up

BUYER Agrees to make a best effort complete bimetal qualifications in an expeditious fashion.

SUPPLIER’s China qualifications will be valid on a global basis.

SUPPLIER has flexibility to provide BUYER materials from either Attleboro or China once both sites are qualified on the particular BUYER manufacturing line/location.

Freight terms will be Ex works shipping location unless manufacturing site changed based on SUPPLIER problems in delivery. If SUPPLIER manufacturing/delivery issues creates a higher freight cost, then SUPPLIER agrees to pay the incremental freight cost.

The bill of lading also will reference the purchase order and item number. SUPPLIER is responsible for packing any shipment correctly based on the carrier/mode utilized. Charges for packing and crating shall be deemed part of the purchase price, and no additional charges will be made therefore unless specifically requested by BUYER on the purchase order or specification.

Attachment D - Performance Metrics – SUPPLIER Scorecard

The purpose of the SUPPLIER Scorecard is to define the performance criteria that are important to BUYER and our customers and to provide an objective assessment of SUPPLIER performance. BUYER will prepare the SUPPLIER Scorecard.

The SUPPLIER Scorecard has two major categories: Quality and Delivery. Each category has a number of criteria with a specific set of quantitative or qualitative requirements.

Certain quantitative metrics, percent defective, events and on-time delivery will be reported monthly. Performance against all categories of the SUPPLIER Scorecard is normally reported quarterly either in summary form or at a business review.

1. Quality – Quality metric will be based on sales value of returned materials not to exceed 0.5% the total prior six months sales revenue of bimetal. The value of returned material will be calculated from the weight returned to SUPPLIER. In the case where BUYER could run part of the cut in production, the value of the unused portion of the cut shall be used to calculate the value.

2. Delivery – Delivery metric will be on-time delivery metric of meeting at least ninety five percent (95%) on-time delivery to request (+0/-5 days), provided eight week lead time was allowed for the order.

Routine feedback of performance by the SUPPLIER Scorecard process will not take the place of timely feedback on events or specific problems as they occur. Formal business reviews will be held periodically with SUPPLIER to provide performance feedback, resolve outstanding issues, assist SUPPLIER in implementing key BUYER programs, and to develop better long-term relationships. These reviews may alternate between SUPPLIER’s site and BUYER.

Attachment E - SMI Agreement

BUYER has SMI programs planned for TMX, Asian sites and TIH. The other plants will use standard lead-times and purchase orders. This agreement on commercial issues for SMI applies to all BUYER/SUPPLIER SMI programs. In addition, we will have separate agreements with the third party warehousers (Exel) and BUYER’s sites for each of the SMI programs, to address non-commercial issues.

The following points apply to all SMI programs between BUYER and SUPPLIER;

1. The sales dollar value cap for the entire SMI program limits the total amount of product SUPPLIER will hold in SMI for BUYER. This would include the inventory at all sites, including any 3^rd party warehouses, any BUYER facilities and FG inventory in SUPPLIER facilities to support the SMI programs. SUPPLIER will stock 2-4 weeks minimum worth of the A items for bimetal, based on average monthly usage. The sales dollar value cap for the entire SMI program is $750,000.00

2. BUYER agrees to pay on pull for all withdrawls from the SMI program. Transaction time to report pulls and pay invoices should not exceed 48 hours. It is understood that there will be exceptions (e.g. due to local holidays) that will delay some payments up to 10 days.

3. BUYER will provide a rolling four (4) month forecast for all SMI items with one (1) month firm.

4. Cost of warehousing, freight, all duties, VAT and distribution will remain BUYER’s responsibility.

5. BUYER accepts liability to purchase all the forecasted material in case of product obsolescence. This includes FG, SFG and WIP. If BUYER reduces forecasts without pulling the materials, BUYER is still obligated to purchase the peak forecasted and safety stock quantity, provided the forecasted peak is within the firm order window.

6. Material cannot be returned to the warehouse (in part or in whole) once it has been withdrawn.

7. When the individual site SMI agreements and Attachment E of this Agreement are different, then this Agreement will take precedence.

8. Any goods in the SUPPLIER Inventory stored for more than one hundred and twenty (120) days shall, after email notice (or any other agreed upon means of communication) by SUPPLIER to BUYER, automatically become BUYER inventory and will be deemed withdrawn from the SUPPLIER Inventory. In this case, SUPPLIER is entitled to invoice these withdrawn goods.
