GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
| 1. | Scope of Agreement |
| 1.1. | Master Agreement Structure. These general terms and conditions cover the potential purchase by Sun of various Products from Supplier, but do not by themselves constitute a purchase commitment by Sun. Sun will be committed to purchase Products only if and when both parties enter into both an Award Letter and a P.O. issued under that Award Letter. Any issued and accepted P.O. shall be considered an entirely separate agreement that incorporates all the terms and conditions of the signature page, these general terms and conditions and attachments following the signature page, the applicable Award Letter(s) for the ordered Product(s) and the Exhibits indicated on the signature page (the “Applicable Terms of this Agreement”). |
| 1.2. | Design and Development Work. In the event Supplier performs any design or development work in connection with the manufacture and sale of any Product, the ownership, warranty and indemnity provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any and all resulting Work Product and deliverables and the intellectual property embodied or contained therein. |
| 1.3. | Applicable Parties. This Agreement applies with respect to all current or future divisions, subsidiaries, locations and operations of Supplier, wherever those may be located, and which are controlled by or are under the control of Supplier. For the purposes of this Agreement, “control” means the legal or beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of an entity. Sun and all its current and future subsidiaries, as well as contractors who receive written authorization from Sun, may issue a P.O. for the purchase of Products pursuant to this Agreement. Sun’s contractors shall be as mutually agreed upon by Sun and Supplier, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Supplier. Supplier’s acceptance of such P.O. shall be subject to of such contractors’ creditworthiness. Each accepted P.O. shall be considered a separate contract which shall automatically incorporate the Applicable Terms of this Agreement. Such P.O. shall be binding only between Supplier and the entity executing the P.O.; Sun shall be liable to pay only for Products ordered directly by Sun. Under no circumstances shall Sun be liable to pay for any Products ordered by Sun’s contractors. Supplier agrees that Sun shall be an intended third party beneficiary of any agreement entered into between Supplier and any contractor or subsidiary of Sun as permitted hereunder and that Sun shall have the right to enforce such contractor or subsidiary’s rights thereunder. All purchases made by Sun and its subsidiaries and contractors shall be cumulated for the purpose of determining volume discounts. |
| 2. | Engagement Process |
| 2.1. | Product Supplement/Award Letters. From time to time Sun may issue a request for quotation, request for proposal or otherwise initiate discussions regarding a potential Product. Supplier agrees to respond to such requests and engage in any follow-up discussions reasonably requested by Sun. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, each party agrees to bear its own costs and expenses associated with such discussions without compensation or reimbursement from the other party. In the event that Sun, at its sole discretion, believes that it may, at some time in the future, desire to purchase such a Product from Supplier, Sun will issue and deliver to Supplier a negotiated Award Letter incorporating the terms and conditions governing any such purchase. Supplier shall review the Award Letter and, if it is acceptable, execute it. An Award Letter shall not constitute a commitment to purchase any Product from Supplier. |
| 2.2. | Purchase Orders. If and when Sun desires to commit to purchase a Product, Sun shall issue a P.O. in written form (or if Exhibit A forms a part of this Agreement, in electronic form) describing the Product, specifying the quantity, price and any other information required by the Award Letter. Supplier shall accept each Sun P.O. unless such P.O. is inconsistent with the Award Letter or other Applicable Terms of this Agreement. The preprinted terms of any P.O. and any terms in any P.O. acknowledgement shall be deemed deleted and of no force or effect. When written or electronic acknowledgment of receipt and acceptance of a P.O. is made by Supplier, the P.O. shall be deemed a |
| Computer Systems/USA/ Master External Manufacturing Agreement | 2 | Version, April 26, 1999 ff Rev. September 21, 1999 ff Mitac International Corporation |
| commitment to purchase and sell the specified Products pursuant to the Applicable Terms of this Agreement. |
| 2.3. | Pricing. The prices set forth in the Award Letter and P.O. shall be determined in accordance with the following principles: |
| 2.3.1. | Product Pricing and Elements. The price(s) set forth in the Award Letter shall be itemized to include the costs of materials mark-up, labor, overhead and profit. The pricing elements and estimates for the following six (6) quarters shall be updated by Supplier on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if requested in writing by Sun. |
| 2.3.2. | Non-approved Charges. Unless authorized in writing and due to extraordinary circumstances, Sun shall not be liable to Supplier for any overtime charges, freight charges (except as specified in Section 2.5., Delivery below) or component product price variances incurred by Supplier or its Sub-tier Suppliers as the result of factors including, but not limited to, component purges and stop-shipments. A “Sub-tier Supplier” means a supplier of any tier who provides Product material or components to Supplier. |
| 2.3.3. | Cost Reductions. Supplier will work actively to achieve cost reductions on all (i) material (except for Sun-Controlled Turnkey Components (defined below) which are exempted from the cost reduction calculations) and (ii) Supplier processing costs (including costs associated with assembly and test). Supplier will provide to Sun an anticipated six (6) quarter cost reduction profile on a quarterly basis. Material cost savings on all non Sun-Controlled Turnkey Components developed by Supplier and accepted by Sun will be retained by the Supplier for the current quarter achieved; thereafter, the savings will be passed on to Sun. Value engineered (“VE”) cost savings developed by Supplier and accepted by Sun will be retained by Supplier for the current quarter achieved, plus one (1) succeeding quarter; thereafter, the savings will be passed on to Sun. VE cost savings developed by Sun will be passed on to Sun immediately upon implementation. In the event that VE cost savings are jointly developed by Sun and Supplier, the parties will negotiate in good faith whether the savings will be (a) passed on to Sun immediately, or (b) retained in whole by Supplier for the current quarter achieved, plus one (1) succeeding quarter, and thereafter the savings will be passed on to Sun. Supplier shall pass one hundred percent (100%) of the cost reductions in Sun-Controlled Turnkey Components on to Sun as soon as possible after the effective date of such cost reductions, on a forward looking, weighted average basis. “Turnkey Components” means those components purchased by Supplier only in accordance with Sun’s Approved Vendor Listing (“AVL”), as may be amended from time to time by Sun, unless otherwise authorized by Sun. “Sun-Controled Turnkey Components” means those Turnkey Components which Supplier purchases and for which Sun establishes the pricing with the applicable supplier(s). |
| 2.3.4. | Documentation. Supplier agrees to make all supporting documentation available to Sun regarding Supplier’s actual budget and specific costs at least two (2) weeks prior to the quarterly Product Cost Review (“PCR”) cycle as described in the Supplier Handbook (defined below). Such information shall be in a format to be mutually agreed upon by Sun and Supplier and shall include fully-costed bills of material that relate directly to this Agreement. |
| 2.3.5. | Best Prices. Supplier represents and covenants that the prices charged by Supplier to Sun for each Product (and that the basis of such prices) are and shall remain at least as low and favorable as the lowest, most favorable prices for manufacture and supply of comparable Products under comparable terms offered by Supplier to its other customers. |
| 2.3.6. | Sun Requested Changes. Sun may at any time make changes in the Product upon written notice to Supplier. Such changes may include changes to applicable drawings, designs or specifications; required method of shipment or packing; or place of delivery. If the change causes an increase or decrease in the cost or the time required by Supplier for performance of any P.O. issued under an Award Letter and Supplier so notifies Sun in writing within |
| Computer Systems/USA/ Master External Manufacturing Agreement | 3 | Version, April 26, 1999 ff Rev. September 21, 1999 ff Mitac International Corporation |
fifteen (15) days of Supplier’s receipt of the change order notice, then, if Sun still wishes such change to be made, the parties shall negotiate a reasonable adjustment to the price or delivery schedule or both. Any such change must be agreed upon by Sun and set forth in a written modification to the applicable P.O.
| 2.4. | Payment Terms. Payment (in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified in the Award Letter) is due within ten (10) days after the receipt of invoice or receipt of the shipping documents associated with the Products within a shipment specified in the P.O., whichever is later (“Payment Due Date”), unless Sun notifies Supplier prior to the Payment Due Date that such Products are defective or nonconforming in any manner. Sun shall not be required to pay the disputed portion of any invoice, pending resolution of that dispute; provided, however that notice of the dispute has been forwarded to Supplier prior to the Payment Due Date. Payment of an invoice does not constitute acceptance of Products. Upon prior notification (which notification will include information as to the nature of the adjustment) to Supplier and Supplier’s agreement which shall not be unreasonably withheld, invoices will be subject to adjustment for errors, shortages and/or rejected Products. If Supplier fails to respond to Sun’s notification within five (5) days, such notification and Sun’s adjustment shall be deemed to have been accepted by Supplier. Supplier will provide Sun with a credit memo within thirty (30) days after Sun’s return of the Products (“Credit Payment Due Date”). Upon prior notification to Supplier and Supplier’s agreement which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the amount of all good faith claims for monies due to Sun by Supplier relating to Products may be deducted by Sun from Supplier’s outstanding invoices under this Agreement. However, Supplier shal not be required to pay a disputed portion of any claim, pending resolution of that dispute; provided, however that Notice of the dispute has been forwarded to Sun prior to the Credit Payment Due Date. The information on Supplier’s invoices shall include the following: P.O. number, Sun part number(s), quantities, unit value and settlement currency, and freight charges (if applicable), each stated separately. With respect to all U.S. imports, the information provided on Supplier’s invoice shall conform to the requirements of all federal laws and regulations. |
| 2.5. | Delivery/Title/Acceptance. |
| 2.5.1. | Delivery Point. Unless otherwise set out in the Award Letter delivery shall be EX-WORKS (INCOTERMS 1990). |
| 2.5.2. | Risk of Loss or Damage. Supplier will bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction to the ordered Products until delivery to a carrier specified by Sun in writing. In addition, Supplier shall be responsible for any loss or damage to Products due to Supplier’s failure to reasonably preserve, package or handle the Product. Supplier will also bear the risk of loss to any Products rejected by Sun, except that Sun will be responsible for any damage to rejected Products occasioned by the negligence and willful misconduct of its employees acting within the scope of their employment. Title to Products shall only pass to Sun upon payment in full for Products. |
| 2.5.3. | Extraordinary Transportation for Late Deliveries. If it should reasonably be expected that a shipment of Product(s) will not be delivered on the agreed delivery date, Supplier shall notify Sun and, upon Sun’s request, Supplier shall, at Supplier’s expense, use any extraordinary means of transportation to deliver Product(s) at the earliest possible date. Supplier shall pay for any resulting increase in the freight cost over that which Sun would have been required to pay had extraordinary transportation not been required. |
| 2.5.4. | Delivery Performance. If Supplier is unable to deliver the full number of Products ordered on the scheduled delivery date, Supplier shall notify Sun promptly, and Sun may, at its sole option, consent to partial delivery. If Sun does not consent, Sun may: (1) reschedule the delivery or (2) cancel all or a portion of the order without any further obligation to Supplier. Partial deliveries shall be separately invoiced by Supplier. |
| 2.5.5. | Acceptance. Sun and Sun’s contractors shall have thirty (30) days to inspect and test all Products delivered by Supplier to Sun (the “Acceptance Period”). After such thirty (30) day period, Products delivered shall be deemed to have been accepted by Sun or Sun’s contractors; provided however that in the event there is any defect or quality issue arising in |
| Computer Systems/USA/ Master External Manufacturing Agreement | 4 | Version, April 26, 1999 ff Rev. September 21, 1999 ff Mitac International Corporation |
| connection with these Products, such defect or quality issue shall be settled in accordance with Section 4.2, Customer Support, below. |
| 2.6. | Forecasts, Allocation and Rescheduling. |
| 2.6.1. | Forecasts. Sun shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Supplier with a six (6) quarter rolling forecast of its intended purchases under each Award Letter in the form of Sun’s Supply Plan, updated at least quarterly and subsequent updates as needed. Such forecast will be for Supplier’s convenience only and will in no way create an obligation on Sun’s part to comply with such forecast, except for Sun’s obligations for EOQ and LLTC components (as defined in the Award Letter) specified in this Agreement. The designated Sun materials/operations person responsible for reconciling any conflict in forecast information provided to Supplier for a particular Product will be specified in the applicable Award Letter. Sun may change such person from time to time. |
| 2.6.2. | Allocation. In the event that materials or capacity is in such short supply that Supplier is unable to fill Sun’s orders in full (“Scarce Resources”), at a minimum Supplier agrees to allocate Scarce Resources to Sun and to utilize any materials in short supply to make Product under whichever of the following formulas would give Sun the greatest amount of Product: (i) in proportion to Sun’s percentage of all of Supplier’s customer orders for Scarce Resources during the previous two (2) full months; (ii) in proportion to Sun’s percentage of all of Supplier’s customers forecasts for Scarce Resources; or (iii) the most favorable allocation formula which Supplier utilizes with any other customer. Supplier will notify Sun promptly whenever Supplier identifies a materials or capacity constraint that could negatively affect Product deliveries to Sun. |
| 2.6.3. | Rescheduling. Sun may, from time to time, reschedule delivery of all or part of any P.O. once only, at no charge, up to ninety (90) days after the agreed delivery date. |
| 2.7. | Supplier Manufacturing Obligations. In accordance with the applicable Award Letter and P.O., Supplier shall do the following: |
| 2.7.1. | Manufacture, assemble, debug and test each Pre-Production version of Product, pursuant to and in accordance with the Specifications and applicable schedules (A “Pre- Production” version of a Product means a prototype Product which is fabricated prior to the beginning of production manufacturing and which may or may not meet Sun’s specifications); |
| 2.7.2. | Manufacture, assemble, debug, test and deliver Products in accordance with the Agreement; |
| 2.7.3. | Provide all necessary process design technology, labor, material, tooling, facilities and other resources necessary and/or appropriate for the timely and satisfactory completion and delivery of the Product and any Pre-Production version; |
| 2.7.4. | Commit and use sufficient and qualified personnel to support the requirements of this Agreement; |
| 2.7.5. | Provide sufficient resources for testing the Product to ensure compliance with the Specifications; |
| 2.7.6. | Provide Sun with reasonably detailed written progress reports as reasonably requested by Sun and mutually agreed to by Sun and Supplier; |
| 2.7.7. | Notify Sun promptly (not to exceed one (1) business day) of any factor, occurrence or event coming to its attention that may materially adversely affect Supplier’s ability to meet any of its obligations hereunder or that is likely to occasion any material delay in delivery of any of the deliverables due hereunder. For example, but not by way of limitation, such notice |
| Computer Systems/USA/ Master External Manufacturing Agreement | 5 | Version, April 26, 1999 ff Rev. September 21, 1999 ff Mitac International Corporation |
| shall be given in the event of any loss or reassignment of key personnel, threat of strike, or major material equipment failure; |
| 2.7.8. | Deliver to Sun packaged and tested Pre-Production versions of each Product in the quantity agreed, tested by Supplier. The goal shall be to provide Pre-Production versions that conform to all aspects of the finally agreed upon test requirements; and |
| 2.7.9. | For Products covered by warranty, promptly repair or replace all Products returned for rework after notice from Sun. All returned Products which are not repaired and delivered to Sun within thirty (30) days after Sun’s original notice must be delivered to Sun as the then most current version of the Product. Any cost or expense to repair or replace such Products so as to return them to Sun in their most current form shall be borne by Supplier, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Sun. |
| 2.8. | Compliance with Supplier Handbook. Supplier acknowledges that from time to time Sun may issue and revise Sun’s Supplier Handbook (the “Supplier Handbook”). The Supplier Handbook will cover the areas of quality, qualification, compliance, connectivity, cost, supply and performance and may include Auto-Swap, Co-Planning, Demand Pull Certification, Direct Ship, Resident Supplier Program, Supplier Performance Management and other initiatives. Supplier agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the then most current version of the Supplier Handbook. Sun shall make the most current version of any applicable Supplier Handbook available to Supplier during the term hereof. Supplier represents that it has read and familiarized itself with the most current version of the Supplier Handbook and has notified Sun in writing of any objection to Supplier’s compliance with the Supplier Handbook. Supplier also agrees to read and familiarize itself with each revision of the Supplier Handbook within 30 days of receipt. In the event Supplier has reason to believe that at any time it will not be able to comply with the then most current version of the Suppler Handbook, Supplier shall immediately notify Sun in writing. Sun and Supplier agree to negotiate in good faith to promptly resolve any reasonable objections that Supplier raises regarding its compliance with the Supplier Handbook. |
| 2.9. | Additional Responsibilities of Supplier. |
| 2.9.1. | Material Procurement and Inventory Management. Supplier will ensure that the amount of finished goods inventory, work in process, and Sun-unique raw materials (“Inventory”) is limited to that amount required to support the agreed upon lead times and Upside, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Sun. The costs associated with any excess Inventory not authorized in writing by Sun will be borne by Supplier, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, including Section 2.10.4. (Effect of Stop Production, P.O. Cancellation and EOL). |
| 2.9.2. | Sub-tier Supplier Management. Supplier will manage its Sub-tier Suppliers in accordance with the guidelines provided in Sun’s document, Sub Tier Management Roles and Responsibilities, 923-2349-xx, which may be amended from time to time by Sun, a current copy of which has been provided to Supplier. |
| 2.9.3. | Auto-Swap. Supplier agrees to support and implement an auto-swap process allowing Supplier Product(s) which fail during Sun’s manufacturing process to be immediately swapped with another unit from a buffer stock of Supplier-owned material, as set forth in the Supplier Handbook. |
| 2.9.4. | Co-Planning. Supplier agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to participate at an early stage in Sun’s planning cycle, to the extent that Sun requests such participation in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such participation may include jointly developing supply plans with Sun and refining forecasts. |
| 2.9.5. | Demand Replenishment. If requested by Sun, Supplier agrees to support and implement a Demand Replenishment Program for supply of Product to Sun in an agreed upon timeframe after execution of this Agreement. One purpose of the Demand Replenishment Program is to provide Sun flexibility in procuring Product on an “as needed” basis either from |
| Computer Systems/USA/ Master External Manufacturing Agreement | 6 | Version, April 26, 1999 ff Rev. September 21, 1999 ff Mitac International Corporation |
Supplier’s manufacturing facility or from a stock of Supplier-owned inventory located at a hub(s) near Sun’s point(s) of use. The specific details of Demand Replenishment Program will be specified in an attachment to the Award Letter.
| 2.9.6. | Demand Trigger. Demand Trigger means the mechanism, whether written or by electronic means in a method agreed to by the parties, by which Sun communicates to Supplier the required delivery dates and quantities under a specified P.O. If Products are subject to Demand Trigger, the frequency of releases will be specified in the Award Letter. |
| 2.9.7. | Direct Ship. Supplier agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to support processes that provide for delivery of Product from Supplier’s point of manufacture directly to Sun’s point of consumption, e.g. Sun manufacturing sites, channels, consolidation points and direct end-users. |
| 2.9.8. | Resident Supplier Program. If applicable, the terms and conditions of the Resident Supplier Program, including a Statement of Work and a Sun Confidential Disclosure Agreement specific to Resident Suppliers are set forth as Exhibit D. Samples of the terms of the Statement of Work (applicable to the Resident Planner/Resident Engineer/Resident Program Manager, as the case may be) are set forth in the Supplier Handbook. |
| 2.9.9. | Supplier Performance Management. Supplier agrees to support Sun’s Supplier Performance Management process which is used to measure Supplier’s ongoing performance, as described in the Supplier Handbook. |
| 2.9.10. | Testing/Qualification. Supplier certifies that it will perform all system-level qualification and safety agency testing which is applicable to Products sold to Sun. Sun may request at any time, and Supplier shall provide, evidence of such testing within three (3) days after Sun’s written request. |
| 2.9.11. | Recordkeeping. Supplier will implement and maintain recordkeeping practices consistent with Sun’s document “WWOPS: Control of Quality Records,” 923-1764-xx, which has been provided to Supplier. Upon reasonable notice, Sun shall be allowed to audit, or have an independent third party audit, Supplier’s books related to all services provided to Sun under this Agreement. |
| 2.9.12. | Audit Rights. In addition to the audit rights set forth in Section 2.9.11. above, Sun reserves the right, for itself and its customers where Sun has contractual requirements from its customers, to enter Supplier’s premises or other facilities where the Products are being manufactured, upon seventy-two (72) hours written notice and during normal working hours, to audit and inspect the quality of the manufacturing and testing procedures utilized and the resulting Products, and to verify that the Products conform to the contractual requirements. |
| 2.9.13. | Certifications. All shipping information, including that on invoices, packing lists, and packing labels will list the country of origin for all Product supplied, must be in both text and scannable bar code formats and must comply with Sun’s labeling specification documents ###-###-####-xx, WWOPS Supplier Specifications for Barcoding of Packaging, and ###-###-####-xx, Engineering Specification for Part Identification Labels. The invoice and packing list must also list the country of origin by part number. |
Supplier must conform with Sun’s Origin Management System and its applicable procedures which are specified in the Supplier Handbook provided to Supplier by Sun.
| 2.10. | Stop Production Notices, P.O Cancellation and End of Life. |
| 2.10.1. | Stop Production Notices. Sun may in writing direct Supplier to stop the production of Products during any stage of the manufacturing process (a “Stop Production Notice”). Sun has the right to direct Supplier to prepare Products up through a particular level of the manufacturing process and to hold such partially completed Products pending modifications |
| Computer Systems/USA/ Master External Manufacturing Agreement | 7 | Version, April 26, 1999 ff Rev. September 21, 1999 ff Mitac International Corporation |
to be implemented as a result of error correction activities. If such a Stop Production Notice from Sun is not due to Supplier’s negligence or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Sun shall be responsible for the actual and reasonable costs incurred by Supplier resulting from a Stop Production Notice and for the actual and reasonable costs associated with the holding of partially completed Products. In the event Pre-Production units of Product ordered are not accepted by Sun for commercial shipment due to no fault of Supplier, the provisions of Section 2.10.4. below shall apply. In the event Pre-Production units of Product ordered are not accepted by Sun for commercial shipment due to a fault attributable to Supplier, Sun shall not be required to pay any amount for such rejected Product.
| 2.10.2. | P.O. Cancellation. Sun may, from time to time, cancel all or any part of a P.O. prior to shipment of the Product(s). Upon such notice from Sun, Supplier will carry out the activities listed in Section 2.10.4. below. Sun’s liability for cancellation charges shall not exceed (i) for finished goods scheduled for delivery (within the specified minimum and/or maximum quantities, if any, set forth in the Award Letter or P.O. and lead times necessary to meet Leadtime), the contract price, plus (ii) for that quantity of unfinished goods and Sun-unique Turnkey Components that are within the specified minimum quantities and agreed upon lead times, the direct costs of manufacture expended for unfinished goods and Supplier’s direct cost of Sun-unique Turnkey Components which have been procured by Supplier, pursuant to this Agreement. Payment by Sun of the cancellation charges agreed to by Sun and Supplier in accordance with this Section 2.10.2. shall constitute Sun’s entire liability for any Supplier loss, expense or damages arising out of Sun’s cancellation of the P.O. “Sun-unique Turnkey Components” means those Turnkey Components which the parties have agreed upon from time to time are used exclusively in Products sold only to Sun. |
| 2.10.3. | End of Life. Sun shall use reasonable efforts to notify Supplier in writing (“Notice”) at least six (6) months prior to Sun ceasing to purchase any Product set forth in a P.O. due to Sun’s discontinuance of a product. Such notice shall include Sun’s purchase and schedule requirements for such Product during such six (6) month, or longer, period. Sun shall have the full end of life (“EOL”) period specified in the notice, during which Sun may take delivery of EOL quantities or remaining quantities of the Product, as the case may be. |
| 2.10.4. | Effect of Stop Production, P.O. Cancellation and EOL. In the event that Sun determines that a Product and/or Sun-unique Turnkey Component has become obsolete or not required (“Obsolete Components”), Supplier shall take the actions indicated in items 2.10.4.1. through 2.10.4.8. below upon written request from Sun to do so. Events which potentially may result in Obsolete Components include the following: issuance of a Stop Production Notice; P.O. cancellation by Sun; engineering change orders; purges; AVL disqualification. The economic order quantities (“EOQ”) and long lead time components (“LLTC”) lists (described in the applicable Award Letters), updated quarterly or as needed, will form the basis for any claims of potential Obsolete Components. Provided that Supplier takes such actions and subject to the EOQ and LLTC lists, Sun shall subsequently pay Supplier its cost for properly inventoried and conforming Sun-unique Turnkey Components, including Supplier’s material acquisition costs and excluding profit, and at Sun’s option, Supplier shall (i) deliver the Obsolete Components to Sun pursuant to a valid P.O., or (ii) scrap the Obsolete Components and Sun’s payment to Supplier hereunder will be reduced by the |
| Computer Systems/USA/ Master External Manufacturing Agreement | 8 | Version, April 26, 1999 ff Rev. September 21, 1999 ff Mitac International Corporation |
| scrap value of such components. Sun reserves the right to audit the Obsolete Components prior to authorizing scrapping. |
Upon such notice from Sun, Supplier shall do the following:
| 2.10.4.1. | Immediately reduce/cancel its outstanding purchase orders for components and raw materials by the quantities in excess of those needed to meet Sun’s requirements. |
| 2.10.4.2. | In accordance with Section 4.1., discontinue Upside Support positioning. |
| 2.10.4.3. | Perform or have performed a physical inventory of materials that Supplier may reasonably claim were required to comply with Sun’s delivery requirements and in-line with the appropriate quantity of Sun-unique Turnkey Components, EOQs and LLTCs (“Supplier Inventory”). Sun reserves the right, at its option, to perform an audit of Supplier Inventory. Sun’s liability to pay, reimburse, or otherwise compensate Supplier for Supplier Inventory shall not exceed the minimum Supplier Inventory that was reasonably required to comply with the proposed delivery schedule(s) and lead times applicable to Sun’s outstanding P.O.’s. |
| 2.10.4.4. | Use commercially reasonable efforts to return the Obsolete Components to the supplier(s) at the same price at which they were purchased. |
| 2.10.4.5. | Use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Obsolete Components to a third party subject to written approval by Sun, at a price acceptable to Sun. Sun shall reimburse Supplier for the difference between Supplier’s purchase price and the Sun-approved price at which it sold the Obsolete Component to a third party. If the sales price exceeds Supplier’s component purchase price, then the excess shall first be applied to offset any obligation of Sun under this paragraph and any excess thereafter shall be retained by Supplier. |
| 2.10.4.6. | Rework Obsolete Components, at Sun’s request, at a mutually agreed upon price and schedule. |
| 2.10.4.7. | Perform a physical inventory of the remaining Obsolete Components within five (5) working days after completion of 2.10.4.1. through 2.10.4.6. above. |
| 2.10.4.8. | Provide Sun documentation, satisfactory to Sun, within twenty (20) business days after receipt of notice indicating the quantities and kind of Inventory. |
| 2.10.4.9. | Subsequent to Supplier’s efforts under 2.10.4.1. through 2.10.4.8. above Sun shall respond to Supplier’s claim for reimbursement or compensation within ten (10) business days after receipt of the documentation. |
| 2.11. | Product Discontinuance. Supplier shall provide Sun with at least one (1) year’s written notice prior to discontinuing the manufacture or sale of a Product covered by an Award Letter and Supplier shall accept orders for Product for delivery during such one (1) year period. |
| 2.12. | Business Continuity Plan. Supplier agrees to provide documented evidence of a business continuity plan to ensure its capability to provide the Products in the agreed upon timeframe after an event which may materially and adversely affect Supplier’s ability to deliver Products to Sun as scheduled. Such event may include one or more of the following: (1) system component failures (including any material hard disk failure, computer virus or local area network outages); (2) natural or man-made disasters (including fire, flood, earthquake, bombing or vandalism); (3) any material work stoppages of any kind or any material failure of a Supplier subcontractor to provide materials. These plans shall include development of alternate sourcing strategies for materials and details for redirection of |
| Computer Systems/USA/ Master External Manufacturing Agreement | 9 | Version, April 26, 1999 ff Rev. September 21, 1999 ff Mitac International Corporation |
