Preamble

WHEREAS BUYER shall procure from SELLER products in the course of a long term cooperation; and

WHEREAS, for their mutual benefit, the PARTIES seek to secure the supply, to improve the planning, to ensure delivery on time, to minimize the respective stocks and to reduce the expenditures for the transaction of business.

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the above, the PARTIES agree to the following terms and conditions:

 

1. Subject of the Agreement

Subject of this SUPPLY AGREEMENT is the procurement of the COMPONENTS as described in Annex 1 hereto.

 

2. Demand Planning and Purchase Orders

 

2.1 BUYER shall place purchase orders with SELLER covering his demand for three (3) months (hereinafter referred to as “SUPPLY PERIOD”). Such purchase orders shall be issued at least eight (8) weeks before the beginning of the respective SUPPLY PERIOD.

 

2.2 Together with his purchase orders BUYER shall furnish to SELLER a forecast indicating his demand for the period of nine (9) months following the SUPPLY PERIOD.

SELLER shall consider the forecasts when planning his production capacities. If SELLER does not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the forecast, it will be deemed accepted by SELLER, and BUYER may assume that SELLER will accept purchase orders within this scope.

 

2.3

BUYER shall forward his purchase orders in writing to SELLER’s relevant local subsidiary. SELLER shall acknowledge the purchase orders within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, as far as they do not exceed the forecast accepted by SELLER.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


SELLER shall make reasonable efforts to meet BUYER’s demand exceeding the forecast. In case SELLER can accept a purchase order of BUYER exceeding the forecast only with modifications (for example concerning delivery date or quantity), the PARTIES will agree without delay on a mutually acceptable solution.

 

2.4 If subsequently to the acknowledgement of any purchase order BUYER requires an earlier or later delivery date as agreed, the PARTIES shall use best efforts to find a mutually acceptable solution.

 

2.5 The terms and conditions of this SUPPLY AGREEMENT shall apply to any purchase order of BUYER regarding the COMPONENTS even if they do not refer to it expressly. Any separate general terms and conditions of BUYER or SELLER shall not apply.

 

2.6 “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday that is not a national holiday in the United States or Germany.

 

3. Delivery

 

3.1 The COMPONENTS are delivered “EXW” according to Incoterms 2000.

 

3.2 If the delivery date is defined

 

  (a) by day, SELLER shall not deliver more than three (3) days earlier or later as the agreed delivery day;

 

  (b) by week, SELLER shall deliver within the agreed delivery week.

 

3.3 In case SELLER realizes that he cannot adhere to the agreed delivery date, he shall without delay inform BUYER and indicate the prospective duration of the delay. The PARTIES shall immediately endeavor to find reasonable remedial measures.

 

3.4 If SELLER is in delay with deliveries for which he is responsible and if BUYER substantiates that he has suffered damages due to the delay, he may claim per full week of delay liquidated damages of 0.5% of the price of the delayed COMPONENTS up to a maximum amount of 5% of such price. Any further claims for damages due to the delay shall be excluded.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

4. Prices

 

4.1 The prices of the COMPONENTS are specified in Annex 2 hereto and are valid for the agreed upon time period.

 

4.2 The prices are based on the clause of the Incoterms 2000 as defined in Section 3.1 and include packaging. The respectively valid VAT shall be added to the price.

 

5. Invoices and Terms of Payment

 

5.1 SELLER shall issue for every delivery an invoice meeting the requirements of the tax laws. The invoice shall show the price per ordered COMPONENTS, the order number and the COMPONENTS part number.

 

5.2 Payments shall be effected in EURO within 30 days from the invoice date.

 

6. Risk, Title

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


7. Warranty, Services, Spare Parts

 

7.1 SELLER assumes liability for defects of the COMPONENTS including the lack of assured characteristics as follows:

SELLER shall at its sole discretion either repair or replace the faulty COMPONENTS. In case these corrective actions fail within a reasonable period of time, BUYER is entitled to request price reduction or to cancel the relevant purchase contract and request SELLER to take back the COMPONENTS delivered (under such purchase contract) and to reimburse the purchase price.

Details will be described in the Quality Assurance Agreement as per Annex 4 to the SUPPLY AGREEMENT.

 

7.2 The warranty period for COMPONENTS shall be 15 months starting on the date the risk of loss or damage has passed onto BUYER according to Section 6.1 or 12 months from the date of installation at customer site, whichever is the earlier.

 

7.3 SELLER will be able to supply spare parts for the COMPONENTS for the period of 8 (eight) years after the last delivery of COMPONENTS.

 

7.4 SELLER’s liability for any further damages resulting from the defect(s) of the COMPONENTS shall be limited pursuant to the stipulations of Section 12.

 

7.5 The SELLER shall, at SELLER’s then current pricing, provide the BUYER with information (e.g. service training courses, service documentation, etc.) and aids (e.g. tools, software, etc) to enable the BUYER to perform the service function. Details on the aforesaid are to be found in Annex 3 hereto.

 

7.6 The BUYER is only entitled to use the information and aids within its own service organization and only to perform services on COMPONENTS that were purchased by the BUYER under this SUPPLY AGREEMENT and delivered to end-users. The transfer of information and/or aids to third PARTIES will be subject to prior written approval by the SELLER.

 

7.7 The SELLER shall provide the BUYER with spare parts for the COMPONENTS at SELLER’s then current prices during the term of this Agreement and for a period of eight (8) years after delivery of the last PRODUCT pursuant to this agreement. Details of the processing of spare parts and returned goods are to be found in Annex 3 hereto. The provisions governing the COMPONENTS shall also apply to spare parts unless agreed otherwise in this agreement.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


8. Technical Changes

 

8.1 SELLER is entitled to technically change the COMPONENTS without notice to BUYER; provided that the COMPONENTS continue to conform to the applicable specifications for the then-current COMPONENTS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SELLER shall notify BUYER about the changes in writing at least three (3) months before start of production of the changed COMPONENTS. If SELLER makes technical changes to the COMPONENTS that will cause them to not conform to the applicable specifications for the then-current COMPONENTS then SELLER shall follow the procedure in Section 8.2.

 

8.2

If SELLER intends to discontinue the production of then-current COMPONENTS in favor of new COMPONENTS or to make technical changes to the then-current COMPONENTS that SELLER reasonably expects to affect form, size, assembly, function or interfaces of the COMPONENTS so that such new or changed COMPONENTS fail to conform to the applicable specifications for the then-current COMPONENTS, SELLER shall as early as reasonably practicable, taking into consideration the regulatory requirements of introducing changes to the then-current COMPONENTS and the MRgRT System notify BUYER and give BUYER access to specifications for the “new” COMPONENTS as well as access (at SELLER’S facility—or at BUYER’s request and expense at Buyer’s Beachwood, Ohio facility) to a preproduction prototype of the new COMPONENTS prior to commercial release of the new COMPONENTS to permit BUYER to test the COMPONENTS and provide input to SELLER on its impact on the MRgRT System. BUYER will notify SELLER not later than 3 months following the date it is notified of such technical changes by SELLER whether BUYER will adopt the new COMPONENTS for use in the MRgRT System. If BUYER adopts the new COMPONENTS for use in the MRgRT System, Annex 1 and, to the extent applicable, Annex 2 will be amended to reflect the new COMPONENTS. If BUYER has not yet adopted the new COMPONENTS for use in the MRgRT System and

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


SELLER decides to discontinue production of the then-current COMPONENTS, BUYER may, in order to cover its remaining demand, place purchase orders in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.4 for the unchanged then-current COMPONENTS within 3 months after being notified about the technical changes by SELLER.

 

8.3 BUYER may request that SELLER incorporate changes to the COMPONENTS going forward by delivering a written change order to SELLER (a “Post-Development Change Order”). Any such Post-Development Change Order will include a description of the proposed change sufficient to permit SELLER to evaluate its feasibility and cost. SELLER will use reasonable efforts to provide within 15 Business Days of receipt of a Post-Development Change Order a detailed response to the Post-Development Change Order including a specification of: (a) new material costs; (b) new labor cost itemized by activity to be performed; (c) the proposed implementation date; and (d) the impact on the delivery schedule and pricing of the COMPONENTS. SELLER will not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to a Post-Development Change Order. Until a Post-Development Change Order has been agreed to in writing, such Post-Development Change Order will not become effective, and the PARTIES will continue to perform their obligations under the then-effective specifications.

 

9. Discontinuance of Production

Should SELLER plan to discontinue the production of COMPONENTS, of which BUYER has procured from SELLER any substantial amount within the preceding 12 months, SELLER shall inform BUYER in writing at least 6 months prior to the date production of such COMPONENTS shall discontinue. BUYER may, in order to cover its remaining demand, place orders in accordance with Section 2.4 until 3 months before the discontinuance date specified in SELLER’s notice, which date shall be at least 6 months following the date of such notice to BUYER.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


10. Industrial and Intellectual Property Rights

 

10.1 If a third PARTY raises justified claims against BUYER for infringement of intellectual property rights or copy rights (all together hereafter referred to as “Protective Rights”) by COMPONENTS supplied by SELLER, SELLER shall at its cost acquire for BUYER a right to use the COMPONENTS. In case this is not possible at economically reasonable conditions, SELLER’s liability shall be limited as follows:

 

  (a) SELLER shall defend and indemnify and hold harmless BUYER against any legal costs and damages of BUYER caused by Protective Right infringement by the COMPONENTS as such up to the amount of an appropriate license fee, which the owner of the Protective Rights could claim directly from SELLER for the use of the infringing COMPONENTS.

 

  (b) For future deliveries SELLER shall, if economically reasonable, at its option and in compliance with the specifications defined in Annex 1 modify the COMPONENTS to become non-infringing or deliver an equivalent non infringing COMPONENTS.

Claims shall be deemed justified only if they are acknowledged as such by SELLER or finally adjudicated as such by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

10.2 The obligations of SELLER mentioned in Section 10.1 above apply under the precondition that BUYER informs SELLER without delay in writing of any claims for infringement of Protective Rights, does not accept on his own any such claims and conducts any disputes, including settlements out of court, only in agreement with SELLER.

 

10.3 Any liability of SELLER pursuant to Section 10.1 shall be excluded, if the infringement of Protective Rights is not caused by the COMPONENTS itself, for example if such infringement results from the application of the COMPONENTS (including any application-specific circuitry implemented in the COMPONENTS), unless SELLER did offer the COMPONENTS especially for such infringing application.

 

10.4 Any liability of SELLER shall also be excluded, if the infringement of Protective Rights results from specific instructions given by BUYER or the fact that the COMPONENTS has been changed by BUYER or is being used in conjunction with products not delivered by SELLER, which convert an otherwise non-infringing COMPONENTS to an infringing COMPONENTS.

This obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this SUPPLY AGREEMENT for a period of 3 years.

 

11.2 This obligation shall not apply to information, which is or becomes public knowledge or which is provably independently developed or lawfully received from a third PARTY.

12.2 Apart from warranties and liabilities expressly stipulated in this SUPPLY AGREEMENT, SELLER disclaims all liability regardless of the cause in law, in particular the liability for indirect or consequential damages arising from interrupted operation, loss of profits, loss of information and data, unless in cases of gross negligence, intent, lack of assured characteristics or in any cases where liability is mandatory at law.
