For each “Project” to be undertaken by Vendor pursuant to this Agreement, the parties will prepare a “Work Statement” in substantially the form attached as Attachment A that describes the (i) services that Vendor will provide (“Services”) deliverables that Vendor will be responsible for delivering to VIEWRAY (“Deliverable(s)”), (ii) delivery schedule for the Deliverables, (iii) pricing terms, (iv) acceptance test procedures for the Deliverables, (v) work plan for the Project, and (vi) VIEWRAY’s responsibilities in connection with the Project.

(b) VIEWRAY hereby retains Vendor and Vendor hereby agrees to perform the work described in the attached Work Statements.

1.2 Changes. VIEWRAY may request amendments to a Work Statement to effect changes in the Services.
