STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Seller agrees to be bound by and to comply with all terms set forth herein and
in the purchase order, to which these terms are attached and are expressly incorporated by reference (collectively, the “Order”),
including any amendments, supplements, requirements, specifications, and other documents referred to in this Order and located at
the following link: (https://www.wabteccorp.com/supplier-resources). Acknowledgement of this Order, including, without limitation,
performance by Seller, shall be deemed acceptance of this Order. The terms set forth in this Order take precedence over any
alternative terms in any other document connected with this transaction unless such alternative terms are: (A) part of a written supply
agreement (“Supply Agreement”), which has been negotiated between the parties and which the parties have expressly agreed may
override these terms in the event of a conflict and/or (B) issued by Purchaser as set forth on the face of the Order to which these
terms are attached and in the absence of a Supply Agreement. In the event these terms are part of a written Supply Agreement
between the parties, the term “Order” used herein shall mean any purchase order issued under the Supply Agreement. In the event
of a conflict between the terms set forth herein and in the Order to which these terms are attached, the terms in the Order shall
control; provided, however, in the event that the parties have executed a Supply Agreement, the terms of the Supply Agreement shall
control over the Order. This Order does not constitute an acceptance by Purchaser of any offer to sell, any quotation, or any proposal.
Reference in this Order to any such offer to sell, quotation or proposal shall in no way constitute a modification of any of the terms of
this Order. ANY ATTEMPTED ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THIS ORDER CONTAINING TERMS INCONSISTENT WITH OR IN
ADDITION TO THE TERMS OF THIS ORDER IS NOT BINDING UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ACCEPTED BY PURCHASER IN
WRITING. This offer expressly limits acceptance to the terms of this offer. Notification of objection is hereby given to any term in
response to this offer that does not exactly match the terms of this offer.

2. PRICES, PAYMENTS AND TAXES. All prices are firm and shall not be subject to change. No extra charges of any kind will be
allowed unless specifically agreed in writing by Purchaser. Seller warrants the pricing for any goods or services shall not exceed the
pricing for the same or comparable goods or services offered by Seller to third parties. Seller shall promptly inform Purchaser of any
lower pricing levels for same or comparable goods or services and the parties shall promptly make the appropriate price adjustment.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that products purchased by Purchaser exceed Purchaser’s
original forecast and/or Seller’s quotation by ten percent (10%) or more, then Purchaser and Seller agree that Purchaser shall be
entitled to a reduction in the price on all future Orders of the products equal to an amount agreed to by the parties; provided, however,
in no event shall the price be greater than ninety percent (90%) of the current price of the products. Purchaser’s standard payment
terms in effect shall be as follows unless prohibited by law or alternatively stated in the purchase order:
2.1 STANDARD:
(A) Payment Terms. Unless otherwise stipulated on the Order or agreed in writing by Purchaser, Purchaser will initiate
payment of the full invoiced amount (not discounted) to Seller on or before the150 th day from the “Payment Start Date” described in
Section 2.2 below (the “Net Due Date”). Settlement and invoicing must be paperless and in a format acceptable to Purchaser. Options
acceptable to Purchaser include Web Invoicing, Evaluated Receipt Settlement and Electronic Data Interchange. Seller must provide
banking information to establish electronic funds transfers for U.S. suppliers and wire transfers for non-U.S. suppliers.
(B) Batched Payments. Purchaser may choose to group all invoices that have not been discounted and to have them paid
in a monthly batched payment process as follows: (i) non-discounted invoices that have Net Dates ranging from the sixteenth day of
the first month of a calendar quarter to the fifteenth day of the second month of the calendar quarter will be grouped together and
paid on the third day of the second month of that calendar quarter, (ii) non-discounted invoices that have net dates ranging from the
sixteenth day of the second month of a calendar quarter to the eighth day of the third month of a calendar quarter will be grouped
together and paid on the third day of the third month of that calendar quarter, and (iii) non-discounted invoices that have net dates
ranging from the ninth day of the third month of a calendar quarter to the fifteenth day of the first month of the next calendar quarter
will be grouped together and paid on the third day of the first month of that next calendar quarter or, if any payment date described
above is not a business day, on the next business day (each such payment date being referred to as the “Monthly Batch Payment
Date”), with the result that some invoices shall be paid earlier than their Net Dates and some invoices shall be paid later than their
Net Dates. Alternatively, Purchaser may choose to group and pay on a quarterly basis all invoices that have not been discounted as
follows: (i) invoices with Net Dates ranging from the ninth day of February to the eighth day of May shall be grouped and Purchaser shall
initiate payment on the third day of April or if that day is not a business day, then on the next business day; (ii) invoices with Net Dates
ranging from the ninth day of May to the eighth day of August shall be grouped and Purchaser shall initiate payment on the third day
of July or if that day is not a business day, then on the next business day; (iii) invoices with Net Dates ranging from the ninth day of
August to the eighth day of November shall be grouped and Purchaser shall initiate payment on the third day of October or if that day
is not a business day, then on the next business day; and (iv) invoices with Net Dates ranging from the ninth day of November to the
eighth day of February shall be grouped and Purchaser shall initiate payment on the third day of January or if that day is not a

Purchaser and/or services are performed directly for Purchaser, within forty-eight (48) hours of Purchaser’s physical receipt of the

Standard Form-Rev. A: Ver. 1 (Revised May 2020)Wabtec Proprietary and Confidential


Page 2 of 12

goods or services; (B) in the case of goods shipped directly to: (1) Purchaser’s customer or a location designated by Purchaser’s
customer (“Material Shipped Direct” or “MSD”); or (2) a non-Purchaser/non-customer location to be incorporated into MSD, within
forty-eight (48) hours of Seller presenting Purchaser with a valid bill of lading confirming that the goods have been shipped from
Seller’s facility; (C) in the case where goods are shipped directly to a third party in accordance with this Order, within forty-eight (48)
hours of Purchaser’s receipt of written certification from the third party of its receipt of the goods; or (D) in the case of services
performed directly for a third party in accordance with this Order, within forty-eight (48) hours of Purchaser’s receipt of written
certification from Seller of completion of the services.
(B) Seller agrees to submit correct and complete invoices for goods or services within 180 days of the received date
of the goods or services. Any claim involving perceived nonpayment, underpayment or any other payment related issues shall be
deemed waived unless asserted in writing within sixty (60) days after (1) receipt by Seller of Purchaser’s payment or (2) the Net Due
Date, whichever first occurs.
2.3 TAXES: Seller’s price includes all payroll and/or occupational taxes, any value added tax that is not recoverable by
Purchaser and any other taxes, fees and/or duties applicable to the goods and/or services purchased under this Order; provided,
however, that any value added tax that is recoverable by Purchaser, state and local sales, use, excise and/or privilege taxes, if
applicable, will not be included in Seller’s price but will be separately identified on Seller’s invoice. If Seller is obligated by law to
charge any value added and/or similar tax to Purchaser, Seller shall ensure that if such value added and/or similar tax is applicable,
that it is invoiced to Purchaser in accordance with applicable rules so as to allow Purchaser to reclaim such value added and/or
similar tax from the appropriate government authority. Neither party is responsible for taxes on the other party’s income or the income
of the other party’s personnel or subcontractors. If Purchaser is required by government regulation to withhold taxes for which Seller
is responsible, Purchaser will deduct such withholding tax from payment to Seller and provide to Seller a valid tax receipt in Seller’s
name. If Seller is exempt from such withholding taxes or eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax as a result of a tax treaty or
other regime, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a valid tax residency certificate or other documentation, as required by the applicable
government regulations, at a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to payment being due. The following state sales and use tax
identification numbers are applicable for goods delivered into the States of Ohio and North Carolina, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania: (A) Ohio - DPP# 98-000-604; (B) North Carolina - DPP# 457; (C) Massachusetts - DPP# 00008; (D) Pennsylvania -

3. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION.


3.1 This Order shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Purchaser is
organized, notwithstanding such jurisdictions conflict of laws rules. For any Purchaser organized in the U.S., this Order shall be
governed by and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, U.S., notwithstanding its conflict of
laws rules. The application of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods is hereby excluded except as
expressly referenced herein.
3.2 Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to this Order, whether in contract, tort, common law,
statutory law, equity, or otherwise, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or scope, shall be resolved in accordance
with this Section 3. Purchaser and Seller shall attempt amicably to resolve any controversy, dispute or difference arising out of this
Order, by commercial negotiations. If a dispute is not resolved by commercial negotiations, either party shall, upon written notice
(“Notice”), refer the dispute to either:
(A) a meeting of appropriate senior management representatives from each of the parties who will confer in good faith to
attempt to resolve the matter; or
(B) , to mediation, to be held within thirty (30) business days after the giving of Notice, or such later date as may be mutually
agreed. If the dispute is not resolved within the thirty (30) days of the Notice, or within the mutually agreed-upon later time period,
either party may commence arbitration in accordance with Section 3.3, below.
3.3 In the event such dispute cannot be resolved pursuant to Section 3.2, such dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or
relating to the Order or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the
scope or applicability of this arbitration provision, shall be determined by arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its
Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules. The number of
arbitrators shall be three. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, and it shall be held as promptly as possible at such
time as the arbitrators may determine. If there is any inconsistency between the JAMS rules and this arbitration provision, the terms
of this arbitration provision will control. Neither party shall have the right to request discovery beyond that which is permitted by the
Expedited Procedures unless the parties agree or the arbitrators order otherwise on the basis of compelling need or a showing of
severe prejudice by a party. The decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding upon the parties, and the fees and expenses
owed to JAMS and the arbitrators will be shared equally between the parties. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered
in any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order
of enforcement, as the case may be. Anything to the contrary in this Order notwithstanding, neither party shall be prevented from
applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for such preliminary or interim injunctive relief, or relief in aid of arbitration, as may be
necessary to preserve or restore the status quo. The parties agree that any arbitration proceeding occurring pursuant to this
arbitration provision will be treated as the confidential information of both parties and that the existence of the proceeding and any
element of it (including, but not limited to, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or
other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration panel, except to the extent required under applicable

law, in which event the party making such disclosure shall so notify the other party as promptly as is practicable (if possible, prior to
making such disclosure) and shall seek confidential treatment of such information.

4.1 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING. Upon notice to Seller and without the requirement of any further action by any
person or entity, Purchaser may assign this Order (or portion thereof) or its rights hereunder to a successor or subsidiary of Purchaser,
or to any of its Affiliates, or pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation, or to any purchaser of, or other successor in interest.
Because performance of this Order is specific to Seller, Seller may not assign its rights or obligations under this Order without
Purchaser’s prior written consent, including, but not limited to, the assignment of Seller’s accounts receivable under this Order.
Purchaser may withhold its consent or condition its consent to any assignment at its sole discretion and any attempted assignment
in violation of this provision shall be null and void. In the event that Purchaser provides Seller with written consent to assign Seller’s
accounts receivable (on an individual basis or as part of a broader arrangement): (i) Seller shall provide Purchaser with all information
regarding the assignment reasonably requested by Purchaser; (ii) Seller shall not modify, cancel or allow such assignment
arrangement to lapse without first giving Purchaser forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice, and (iii) Purchaser shall only be responsible
for making payments as directed by Seller and Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser its officers, directors,
shareholders, Affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and assigns from and against all claims, suits, actions, proceedings, damages, losses
and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of, related to, or resulting from Seller’s assignment or purported assignment of its
accounts receivable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, at any time, revoke its consent to Seller’s assignment of future
accounts receivable by providing fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Seller. Seller shall not subcontract or delegate performance
of all or any substantial part of the work called for under this Order without Purchaser’s prior written consent. Should Purchaser grant
consent to Seller’s assignment or subcontract, Seller shall cause such assignee or subcontractor to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Order. Further, Seller shall advise Purchaser of any subcontractor or supplier to Seller:
(A) that will have at its facility any parts or products with Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ name, logo or trademark (or that will be
responsible to affix the same); and/or (B) 50% percent or more of whose output from a specific location is purchased directly or
indirectly by Purchaser. In addition, Seller will obtain for Purchaser, unless advised to the contrary in writing, written acknowledgement
by such assignee, subcontractor and/or supplier to Seller of its commitment to act in a manner consistent with Purchaser’s integrity
policies, and to submit to, from time to time, on-site inspections or audits by Purchaser or Purchaser’s third party designee as
requested by Purchaser. If Seller subcontracts any part of the work under this Order outside of the final destination country where the
goods purchased hereunder will be shipped, Seller shall be responsible for complying with all customs requirements related to such
sub-contracts, unless otherwise set forth in this Order. The term “Affiliate” as it relates to Purchaser shall mean with respect to
Purchaser means any entity (including, without limitation, any individual, corporation, company, partnership, limited liability company
or group) that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with
Purchaser.
4.2 CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP. If a third party submits a solicited or unsolicited offer to Seller that would result in a Change of
Ownership or Control of Seller, as defined below, Seller shall give notice of such offer, including the identity of the offeror, to Purchaser
as early as commercially practical following Seller’s receipt of the offer. Before Seller accepts the offer, it shall give Purchaser an
opportunity, within a reasonable time, to advise Seller of its impact on performance of this Order. If the Change in Ownership and
Control occurs, Purchaser has the right at its discretion to terminate this Order. In the event of such termination, Seller agrees to
render full cooperation to Purchaser in order to minimize disruption to the Purchaser's program. Pending termination or in lieu of
termination, Purchaser may require Seller to provide adequate assurance of performance, including, but not limited to the institution
of special controls regarding the protection of Purchaser's Property, including all intellectual property and proprietary information.
(For purposes of this section, the term “Change in Ownership or Control” shall mean any of the following: (A) the sale of equity shares
controlling 20% or more of the voting rights in Seller or Seller’s parent, (B) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of substantially
all of the assets of Seller or Seller’s parent, (C) a merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, recapitalization, business
combination, liquidation or dissolution or similar transaction, (D) a tender offer or exchange offer for any of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of Seller or Seller’s parent, (E) a sale by Seller of the assets relating to the goods Seller produces or will produce for

such goods are in transit. Therefore, Seller shall not declare any insurance value on such goods shipped via Purchaser’s designated
carrier.
5.2 Seller shall release rail or truck shipments at the lowest released valuation permitted in the governing tariff or classification.
Purchaser will pay no charges for unauthorized transportation. Any unauthorized shipment, which results in excess transportation
charges, must be fully prepaid by the Seller. If Seller does not comply with the stated delivery schedule, Purchaser may require

legibly, indelibly and permanently as the nature of the article or container will permit. All goods shall be packed in an appropriate
manner, consistent with Purchaser’s packaging specifications outlined and set forth in document number 84A220081 which may be
accessed at the following link (https://www.wabteccorp.com/supplier-resources). Goods that cannot be packed due to size or weight
shall be loaded into suitable containers, pallets or crossbars thick enough to allow safe lifting and unloading and shall be packed in
accordance with the best commercially accepted practice in the industry. Vehicles that reach their destination and present unloading
difficulties due to Seller’s failure to comply the requirements of this section may be sent back to their point of departure at Seller’s
expense.
5.5 The Purchase Order number shall appear on all shipping manifests, bills of lading, invoices and correspondence and shall
be marked on or tagged to all products shipped. A packing list and any other requested document must accompany each shipment
showing Purchase Order number, item number and quantity of each product packaged (collectively, “Order Information”). (All other
documentation should also include such Order Information). For any international shipments (except for shipments to Purchaser’s
customer’s location), Seller shall also include a copy of airway or truck bill of lading and Seller’s commercial invoice.
5.6 Failure of Seller to comply with any such Purchaser specification shall cause all resulting transportation charges to be for
the account of Seller and give rise to any other remedies available at law or equity.

6. DELIVERY AND DELAY.


6.1 Time is of the essence for this Order. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, any material commitments or production
arrangements that Seller makes which are in excess of the amount or in advance of the time necessary to meet schedules that are
within lead time shall be at Seller’s risk and cost. Seller bears sole responsibility for managing Seller's raw material, work in process,
and inventory, and Purchaser shall have no liability with respect thereto (whether upon termination of this Order or subcontract) other
than in connection with termination as provided in Section 19, below. Goods shipped to Purchaser in advance of scheduled lead
times may be returned to Seller at Seller’s expense.
6.2 In the event Seller for any reason anticipates any difficulty in complying with the required delivery date or any of the other
requirements of this Order, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing, and upon request, provide Purchaser adequate
assurance of performance. If Seller does not comply with Purchaser's delivery schedule, Purchaser may require delivery by fastest
method and charges resulting from the premium transportation must be fully prepaid by Seller. Purchaser shall be entitled to recover
damages that it incurs as a result of Seller’s failure to perform as scheduled. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, Purchaser’s
remedies are cumulative and Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue any and all remedies available at law or equity. Further to the
foregoing, Seller shall not make material commitments or production arrangements in excess of the amount or in advance of the time
necessary to meet Purchaser’s delivery schedule. Should Seller enter into such commitments or engage in such production, any
resulting exposure shall be for Seller’s account.

tear. Seller agrees to comply with any handling and storage requirements provided by Purchaser for such property. Seller shall insure
that at all times Purchaser’s Property clearly displays signs or markings attached thereto evidencing Purchaser’s ownership of

rights to Purchaser in conflict with the FTA provisions set forth in Section 18.6, below.
7.2 Seller hereby agrees that Purchaser may, in its discretion, upon reasonable notice, but without legal process, (i) enter the
premises where Purchaser’s Property may be and take possession thereof, whether at Seller’s premises or its supplier’s, or (ii)
request Seller deliver Purchaser’s Property to a mutually agreed upon location, in which case, Seller shall prepare Purchaser’s

used in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of Purchaser's Property in such design or manufacture or in obtaining governmental
approval with respect to such goods or repair.

made by Seller prior to, or outside of, the scope of this Order. Regarding the rights to any innovations, inventions, drawings, tools,

Rights, and will cooperate with Purchaser, its officers and agents, in obtaining, at the expense of Purchaser with respect to the
prosecution thereof, patents on such inventions or discoveries in the name of and for the benefit of Purchaser in any country that
Purchaser may consider desirable. Seller will procure from its employees, without charge to Purchaser, the execution of all patent
applications, assignments and other instruments necessary to the procurement of such patents and to the vesting of title thereto in
Purchaser if such rights do not automatically vest with the Purchaser. Any compensation due Seller's employees shall be paid solely
by Seller.

(regardless of the media of expression) made or prepared in connection with any purchase order placed by Purchaser. Seller will not

obtaining the written consent of Purchaser. All such materials, irrespective of the media of expression, shall be deemed works-for-
hire and shall belong exclusively to Purchaser. If by operation of law any of the material is not work-for-hire, then Seller agrees to
assign, and hereby assigns, to Purchaser the ownership of such material including all copyrights thereto. Purchaser may obtain and

of this agreement relating to Purchaser Rights and to Purchaser’s Property including Articles 7, 8, 10 and 21.4 hereof. This license
is terminable with or without cause by Purchaser at any time.
(E) All Purchaser’s Property and Purchaser Rights are or shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary property

other users also has the right to use the Source Data for research, development and continuous improvement of its products, software
and services. Purchaser will own all data, concepts, products, services, software, intellectual property and other rights arising from
and/or related to Purchaser’s use, analysis, research and/or development of the Source Data.

regarding retention of intellectual property rights of the Seller, Seller shall retain ownership of inventions and Seller hereby grants

the Seller’s ability to comply fully with the provisions of this Section 8.1.

Order shall be free of any rightful claim of any third party for infringement of any patent or copyright. Seller shall indemnify and save
Purchaser, and Purchaser’s subsidiaries and Affiliates, and their respective vendors and customers, harmless from and against any

furnishing of goods and/or services under this purchase order, or the use of such goods and/or services or sales of such goods
and/or services constitutes infringement of any patent or copyright, alleged infringement of any patent or copyright, or
misappropriation of trade secret. If an alleged claim of infringement or misappropriation is made, Seller shall procure for Purchaser,

copies of outstanding purchase orders and subcontracts for materials, equipment and/or services for the work and take such action
relative to such purchase orders and subcontracts as Purchaser may direct.
9.2 If any change causes a significant impact on the cost of, or the time required for, performance of any work under this Order,
an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or delivery schedule, or both as applicable, in writing; provided, however, the
maximum liability of the Purchaser for obsolescence, scrappage, and/or rework resulting from any change shall be limited to the
value of the materials and parts in process at the time of the change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Purchaser shall have no liability for lost profit or cost of obsolescence, scrap, rework of materials and parts which Seller has released
for manufacture in advance of Seller's normal manufacturing cycle required to meet the schedule. Any Seller claim for adjustment
under this section shall be deemed waived unless asserted in writing within twenty (20) days after receipt by Seller of the notice to
make the change and may only include reasonable, direct costs that will necessarily be incurred as a direct result of the change.
9.3 No departure shall be made by Seller from Purchaser’s specifications, nor any change made in materials, sources of supply,

make any material modification in its manufacturing process or the procurement of materials related to the goods, it shall first consult
with and obtain the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such consent by Purchaser
shall be subject to qualification of the new site under Purchaser’s supplier qualification standards. Purchaser reserves sole right to
accept or reject such changes.

10. WARRANTIES.
10.1 Seller warrants that all goods and services provided pursuant to this Order, whether provided by Seller or a direct or indirect
supplier of Seller, will be free of any claims of any nature, including without limitation title claims, and will cause any lien or
encumbrance asserted to be discharged, at its sole cost and expense, within thirty (30) days of its assertion (provided such liens do
not arise out of Purchaser’s failure to pay amounts not in dispute under this Order or an act or omission of Purchaser). Seller warrants
and represents that all such goods and services will be new and of merchantable quality, not used, rebuilt or made of refurbished
material unless approved in writing by Purchaser, free from all defects in design, workmanship and material and will be fit for the
particular purpose for which they are intended. Such goods and services will be provided in strict accordance with all specifications,
samples, drawings, designs, descriptions or other requirements approved or adopted by Purchaser. Seller further warrants that all
services will be performed in accordance with the standards of care and diligence normally practiced by persons performing similar
services and in the best workmanlike manner. Any review or approval of drawings by Purchaser will be for Seller's convenience and
will not relieve Seller of its responsibility to meet all requirements of this Order. Any attempt by Seller to limit, disclaim or restrict any
such warranties or remedies by acknowledgment or otherwise shall be null, void and ineffective. The warranties shall apply to
Purchaser, its successors, assigns and the users of goods and services covered by this Order.
10.2 The warranties set forth in section 10.1 only shall apply for a period of forty-eight (48) months, plus delays (such as those
due to non-conforming goods and services), from the date of Seller’s delivery of all goods to destination/performance of the services.
The 48-month limitation contained in this Section 10.2 does not supersede or otherwise alter or limit any performance and/or reliability
requirements set forth in the specifications or other documents governing this Order.
10.3 If any of the goods and/or services are found to be defective or otherwise not in conformity with the warranties in this section
during the warranty period, then, Purchaser, in addition to any other rights, remedies and choices it may have by law, contract or at
equity, and in addition to seeking recovery of any and all damages and costs emanating therefrom, at its option and sole disc retion
and at Seller’s expense may: (A) require Seller to inspect, remove, reinstall, ship and repair or replace/re-perform nonconforming
goods and/or services with goods and/or services that conform to all requirements of this Order; (B) take such actions as may be
required to cure all defects and/or bring the goods and/or services into conformity with all requirements of this Order, in which event
all related costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, material, labor and handling costs and any required re-performance of
value added machining or other service) and other reasonable charges shall be for Seller's account; and/or (C) reject and return all
or any portion of such goods and/or services. Any repaired or replaced good, or part thereof, or re-performed services shall carry
warranties on the same terms as set forth above, with the warranty period being the greater of the original unexpired warranty or
twenty-four (24) months after repair or replacement.
10.4 Purchaser’s failure to inspect, accept, reject or detect defects by inspection shall neither relieve Seller from responsibility
for such goods or services that are not in accordance with the Order requirements nor impose liabilities on Purchaser. Purchaser’s
validation, approval or conditional approval of the products shall not relieve Seller from responsibility, liability or waive the warranties
set forth in this Section 10.
10.5 If at any time a governmental agency of any country, state, province or municipality requires Purchaser to conduct a product
safety recall or a field modification/fix program, or Purchaser voluntarily undertakes such an action, related to the Products, Purchaser
will notify Seller of any such action and Seller shall, at Purchaser’s option, either repair or replace the related Products, and reimburse
Purchaser for any costs, expenses or damages.

19. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION.


19.1 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Purchaser may terminate all or any part of this Order at any time by written notice
to Seller. Upon termination (other than due to Seller's insolvency or default including failure to comply with this Order), Purchaser
and Seller shall negotiate reasonable termination costs consistent with costs allowable under Section 9 “Changes” and identified by
Seller within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s termination notice to Seller, unless the parties have agreed to a termination schedule in
writing. Any costs identified by Seller after the thirty (30) days period set forth above shall be waived by Seller. Buyer shall have the
right to terminate at no cost all Orders with delivery lead times of sixty (60) calendar days or longer by providing written notice within
fourteen (14) calendar days of Seller’s final Order acceptance.
19.2 TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT. Purchaser, without liability, may by written notice of default, terminate the whole or any
part of this Order if Seller: (A) fails to perform within the time specified or in any written extension granted by Purchaser; (B) fails to
make progress which, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, endangers performance of this Order in accordance with its terms; or
(C) fails to comply with any of the terms of this Order. Such termination shall become effective if Seller does not cure such failure
within ten (10) days of receiving notice of default. Upon termination, Purchaser may procure at Seller’s expense and upon terms it
deems appropriate, goods or services similar to those so terminated. Seller shall continue performance of this Order to the extent
not terminated and shall be liable to Purchaser for any excess costs for such similar goods or services. As an alternate remedy and
in lieu of termination for default, Purchaser, at its sole discretion, may elect to extend the delivery schedule and/or waive other
deficiencies in Seller's performance, making Seller liable for any costs, expenses or damages arising from any failure of Seller’s
performance. Purchaser’s rights and remedies in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law, equity
or under this Order. In the event Purchaser wrongfully terminates an Order under this Section 19.2, in whole or in part, such
termination becomes a termination for convenience under Section 19.1, above.
19.3 TERMINATION FOR INSOLVENCY/PROLONGED DELAY. If Seller ceases to conduct its operations in the normal course
of business or fails to meet its obligations as they mature or if any proceeding under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws is brought by
or against Seller, a receiver for Seller is appointed or applied for, an assignment for the benefit of creditors is made or an excused
delay (or the aggregate time of multiple excused delays) lasts more than 60 days, Purchaser may immediately terminate this Order
without liability, except for goods or services completed, delivered and accepted within a reasonable period after termination (which
will be paid for at the Order price).
19.4 OBLIGATIONS ON TERMINATION. Upon expiration or after receipt of a notice of termination for any reason, Seller shall
immediately: (A) stop work as directed in the notice; (B) place no further subcontracts or purchase orders for materials, services or
facilities hereunder, except as necessary to complete the continued portion of this Order; (C) refund to Purchaser any progress
payments or tooling payments, if any, made by Purchaser; (D) terminate all subcontracts to the extent they relate to work terminated;
and (E) deliver to Purchaser all completed work and work in process, including all designs, drawings, specifications, other
documentation and material required or produced in connection with such work and all of Purchaser’s Confidential Information as set
forth in Section 16.
19.5 SUSPENSION. Purchaser may at any time, by notice to Seller, suspend performance of the work for such time as it deems
appropriate. Upon receiving notice of suspension, Seller shall promptly suspend work to the extent specified, properly caring for and
protecting all work in progress and materials, supplies and equipment Seller has on hand for performance. Upon Purchaser’s request,
Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer copies of outstanding purchase orders and subcontracts for materials, equipment and/or

services for the work and take such action relative to such purchase orders and subcontracts as Purchaser may direct. Purchaser
may at any time withdraw the suspension as to all or part of the suspended work by written notice. Seller shall resume diligent
performance on the specified effective date of withdrawal. All claims for increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for
the performance of any work caused by suspension shall be pursued pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 9, above.

21.2 QUANTITY.
(A) Purchaser is not obligated to purchase any quantity of goods and/or services except for such quantity(ies) as may
be specified either: (1) on the face of an Order; (2) in a “release” on the face of an Order; or (3) on a separate written release issued
by Purchaser pursuant to an Order. The quantity of goods or services, if any, specified in requests for quotation or forecasts supplied
by Purchaser from time to time, or otherwise, is an estimate only. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser, Seller shall
not make material commitments or production arrangements in excess of the quantities specified in Purchaser’s Order or release
and/or in advance of the time necessary to meet Purchaser’s delivery schedule. Should Seller enter into such commitments or engage
in such production, any resulting exposure shall be for Seller’s account. Goods delivered to Purchaser in excess of the quantities
specified in Purchaser’s Order or release and/or in advance of schedule may be returned to Seller at Seller’s risk and expense,
including but not limited to any cost incurred by Purchaser related to storage and handling of such goods. In the event the Supply
Agreement or any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller obligates Purchaser to buy a percentage of its purchased product
requirements from Seller, reasonable amounts of product purchased from a third-party supplier for purposes of qualifying such
products shall be deemed excluded from Purchaser’s requirements and can be used by Purchaser for commercial production and
sale.
(B) Seller shall give Purchaser 180 calendar days’ prior written notice of the permanent discontinuance of production
of any goods purchased hereunder and/or necessary for the production/ provision of goods and/or services hereunder. The foregoing
obligation shall survive termination or expiration of the Order for five calendar years. Additionally, for all goods purchased hereunder,
Seller shall provide replacement parts for a period of five years after production by Seller of such goods ceases. Seller shall continue
to supply such replacement parts past the five year if Purchaser orders at least 20 replacements parts per year during such five-year
period. The prices for any replacement parts purchased in the first 2 years of the five-year period shall not exceed those prices in
effect at the time production of the relevant goods cease. Thereafter, the prices for replacement parts shall be negotiated based upon
Seller’s actual cost of production of such replacement parts plus any special packaging costs. After the end of the above five- year
period, Seller shall continue to maintain in good working condition all Seller-owned tooling required to product the goods and/or
replacement parts, and shall not dispose of or sell such tooling without first contacting Purchaser and offering Purchaser the right to
purchase such tooling. Seller’s obligations with regard to any Purchaser owned tooling are set forth in Section 7, above. No minimum
order requirements for replacement parts shall apply unless the parties mutually agree in advance and expressly in writing. All
replacement parts purchased by Purchaser shall be subject to the terms of this Order.
21.3 WAIVER, MODIFICATION AND SEVERABILITY. Unless expressly set forth herein to the contrary, any failure or delay in
the exercise of rights or remedies under this Order will not operate to waive or impair such rights or remedies. Any waiver given will
not be construed to require future or further waivers. Unless expressly set forth herein to the contrary, no waiver, alteration or
modification of any of the provisions of this Order shall be binding upon either party unless made in writing signed by the aggrieved
party. The invalidity, in whole or in part, of any of the foregoing sections or paragraphs of this Order shall not affect the remainder of
such sections or paragraphs or any other section or paragraph of this Order, which shall continue in full force and effect. Further, the
parties agree to give any such section or provision deemed invalid, in whole or in part, a lawful interpretation that most closely reflects
the original intention of Purchaser and Seller.
21.4 SECURITY INTEREST. In the event items will be bailed to Seller or progress payments will be made, Seller hereby grants
Purchaser a security interest in equipment, machinery, contract rights, inventory, goods, merchandise and raw materials, whether
now existing or hereafter arising, and any replacements, improvements, substitutions, attachments, accessories and accessions
thereto or thereon provided by Purchaser or purchased by Seller with progress payments or advances made by Purchaser and to be

requested by Purchaser to protect and maintain Purchaser's security interest.

showing the principal elements of price negotiations), product acceptance and quality records, including inspection records, material
certifications, and acceptance test records.
21.9 MISCELLANEOUS. (A) This Order, with documents as are expressly incorporated by reference, is intended as a complete,
exclusive and final expression of the parties’ agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or
contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties; (B) The parties represent that they are not relying upon
any representations, understandings or agreements, written or oral, which are not included herein in making their respective decisions
to execute this Order; (C) No course of prior dealings and no usage of the trade shall be relevant to determine the meaning of this
Order even though the accepting or acquiescing party has knowledge of the performance and opportunity for objection; (D) The term
“including” shall mean and be construed as “including, but not limited to”, unless expressly stated to the contrary; (E) Except as
otherwise set forth herein, for the purposes of this Order “day” means business day and is defined as any day in a work week

foregoing articles or paragraphs of this Order, or any part thereof, shall not affect the remainder of such sentences, articles or
paragraphs or any other sentences, article or paragraph of this Order, which shall continue in full force and effect. Further, the parties
agree to give any such article or provision deemed invalid, in whole or in part, a lawful interpretation that most closely re flects the
original intention of Purchaser and Seller; (G) All provisions or obligations contained in this Order, which by their nature or effect are
required or intended to be observed, kept or performed after termination or expiration of an Order will survive and remain binding
upon and for the benefit of the parties, their successors (including without limitation successors by merger) and permitted assigns
