1. AGREEMENT. Each purchase order, purchase agreement or similar document or revision thereof (the “Order”) issued by Mennie Machined Components, LP, an Illinois limited partnership, and/or if specifically designated thereon, Mennie’s Machine Company, an Illinois corporation doing business as Mennie Machine Company (“MMC”) is an offer by MMC to the seller or its applicable affiliate(s) named thereon (“Seller”) for the purchase of Goods (the “Goods”) or services (the “Services”) described therein and is governed by and subject in all respects to these Terms and Conditions of Purchase (these “Terms”) exclusively as provided herein, and together with any attachments or items incorporated by reference (including any specifications, drawings, quality requirements or any other requirements of MMC or MMC’s customers (“Customers”)), and any supplier manual or other policies of MMC provided or otherwise made available to Seller (together with any scheduling agreements or similar documents and any releases issued by MMC under an Order, collectively, “Purchasing Documents”), constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between MMC and Seller (the “Agreement”). Any of the following acts by Seller shall constitute Seller’s acceptance of the Agreement, including these Terms, in its entirety: (a) accepting or otherwise acknowledging the Order; (b) commencing work on the Goods or otherwise initiating performance of any portion of the Services; (c) initiating shipment of the Goods; (d) by other conduct which fairly recognizes the existence of a contract for the purchase and sale of the Goods or Services; or (e) failure to validly object in writing to the Order within five (5) business days of issuance. For avoidance of doubt, a signed acceptance of the Order is not required. Any objection by Seller to the Agreement, including these Terms, are deemed waived by Seller upon the occurrence of any one (1) or more of the conditions described in (a) through (e) above absent MMC’s express written agreement to amend or otherwise modify the Agreement. Acceptance of the Order is strictly limited to and conditional upon Seller’s acceptance of the Agreement, including these Terms exclusively. MMC SHALL NOT BE BOUND BY ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS APPEARING IN SELLER’S QUOTATION, PROPOSAL, ACKNOWLEDGMENT OR ANY OTHER FORMS OF COMMUNICATIONS FROM SELLER AND NO REFERENCE THERETO SHALL BE DEEMED TO INCORPORATE ANY TERM THEREOF UNLESS SUCH TERMS ARE MUTUALLY AGREED TO IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY MMC AND SELLER. Without limiting the foregoing, any proposal by Seller to include additional or different terms or any purported attempt by Seller to vary any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including these Terms, whether in Seller’s proposal, quotation, acknowledgement, invoice, warranty statement or otherwise, shall be deemed void and MMC hereby expressly objects and rejects such additional, different or varied terms and conditions; provided, however, that such proposal or attempted variance shall not be deemed a rejection of or counteroffer to the Order by Seller. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between MMC and Seller, and no prior offers, proposals, quotations, statements, forecasts, courses of dealing, usage or trade shall be part of the Agreement; provided, however, for avoidance of doubt, any award letter, source letter, nomination letter or similar document issued or signed by an authorized representative of MMC relating to the Goods or Services will continue to apply after the Order has been issued as modified thereby (with any conflict between such earlier award letter, source letter, nomination letter or similar document and the Order being governed and controlled by the Order). In the event the Order is determined by a court of last resort to comprise any acceptance of a prior offer by Seller, such acceptance is strictly limited to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. PURCHASE PRICE. Seller shall not invoice MMC for Goods or Services at prices higher than stated in the Order, which prices are complete and include all customs expenses, duties, tariffs, and taxes (other than U.S. sales and use tax chargeable to MMC), storage, detention, demurrage, handling, preparation, packaging, boxing, crating, wrapping, cartage, transportation, travel, insurance, setup, and all other known or unknown direct and indirect Seller costs. No surcharges, premiums or other additional charges or expenses of any type may be added to such stated prices without MMC’s express prior written consent. Prices shown on the Order shall not be subject to increase without the written consent of MMC and Seller expressly assumes the risk of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any events (foreseeable or otherwise) that may affect prices or Seller’s direct or indirect costs, including volume fluctuations, foreign exchange rates, raw material cost increases, inflation, labor, utility and other production and supply costs, governmental acts (including tariffs, embargos or quotas), and any other event which may impact the price or availability of materials, supplies, services or labor. If prices are not shown for any of the Goods or Services then prices to be charged by Seller shall not be higher than prices last quoted or charged to MMC for the same or commercially similar Goods and Services, or at prevailing market price, whichever is lower, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

3. PRICE WARRANTY. Seller represents and warrants that the prices charged for the Goods and Services do not and shall not exceed the prices charged by Seller to any other customer for similar quantities of like goods or services under similar delivery requirements. In the event Seller reduces prices charged for the Goods or Services to any other customer, Seller will immediately notify MMC and MMC is authorized to revise the Order, as applicable, to such lower pricing and Seller shall be automatically deemed to have accepted such revised Order. MMC shall receive the full benefit of all discounts, premiums, and other favorable terms of payment customarily offered by Seller to its customers. Seller shall ensure that the Goods and Services remain competitive in price, technology, service, and quality to other similar goods and services available to MMC (whether through outside, in-house or affiliate sources). If a competitor to Seller quotes Goods or Services substantially similar to the Goods or Services that are of better value, technology or quality, then within fifteen (15) days of MMC’s demand, Seller shall meet or exceed such competitive quotation. Should Seller fail to timely issue its revised offer, without otherwise limiting MMC’s rights and remedies, MMC is authorized to revise the Order, as applicable, and Seller shall be automatically deemed to have accepted such revised Order, or alternatively, MMC may, at its option, terminate the Agreement or all or any portion of the Order without liability pursuant to paragraph 29 below.

4. PAYMENT. Payment terms are net forty-five (45) days from the date of an accepted, valid invoice (in a form and containing such information as MMC may require) or acceptance of the Goods or Services, whichever is later. Payment may be made electronically or by check on or before the due date unless otherwise specified by MMC in writing. If a discount is allowed to MMC for payment within an agreed upon period, the period for the cash discount as shown on the face of the Order shall extend from the date of receipt of the invoice by MMC or from the date of receipt by MMC of any corrected invoice, whichever is later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments may be withheld pending MMC’s receipt of satisfactory evidence that the Goods and Services were delivered or performed, as applicable, absent any liens, claims or encumbrances. If no currency is specified on the face of the Order, payment may be made at MMC’s option in U.S. dollars or the local currency of MMC’s receiving facility. All amounts due Seller or its affiliates shall be considered net of indebtedness or obligations of Seller and its affiliates to MMC and its affiliates, and MMC and its affiliates may set off against any amounts due or to become due to Seller or its affiliates from MMC or its affiliates however and whenever arising and without notice. If any obligations of Seller or its affiliates to MMC or its affiliates are disputed, contingent or unliquidated, including any claims by MMC’s Customers before final determination of cause, MMC may defer payment of such amounts until such claims are finally resolved (as determined by MMC in its sole discretion). In the event a Customer fails to pay MMC for items or services incorporating or using the Goods or Services or debits, sets off or otherwise recaptures any amounts due or previously paid to MMC for items or services incorporating or using the Goods or Services, MMC may, in its sole discretion, either: (a) assign to Seller the right to collect such amounts from such Customer, in whole or in part, and Seller agrees to accept such assignment as payment for any amounts due from MMC to Seller on a dollar for dollar basis; or (b) set off against any amounts due or to become due to Seller or its affiliates from MMC or its affiliates, or debit any amount previously paid by MMC to Seller for such Goods and Services, in each case on a dollar for dollar basis as determined by MMC in its sole discretion.

5. TAXES. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless buyer against the assessment or imposition of any excise, use or other tax (however designated) upon the production, sale or delivery of Goods shipped hereunder or upon the performance of Services rendered hereunder, to the extent such assessments or impositions are required or not forbidden by law to be borne by Seller.

6. LABELING, PACKAGING, AND SHIPPING. All Goods shall be suitably prepared for shipment and must be labeled, packed, routed, and shipped in accordance with MMC’s instructions and specifications as provided from time to time, and otherwise in compliance with applicable law. To the extent labeling, packaging, routing or shipping requirements are not provided by MMC, Seller shall pack, label, route, and ship the Goods in accordance with sound commercial practices and otherwise in a manner that will ensure that the Goods are adequately protected against damage and deterioration in transit and to otherwise ensure the best method of cost-efficient transportation. Seller will promptly provide MMC all necessary packing lists and other papers with each shipment as required by applicable law together with any additional papers required to communicate the (a) applicable Order, release or other identification number(s) provided by MMC, (b) MMC, Seller, and as applicable, Customer part numbers, (c) description of Goods together with applicable serial, batch, lot or other production identification numbers, (d) number of units (together with unit of measure), boxes, pallets, and containers in the shipment, (e) Seller’s name and contact information, (f) bill of lading number, (g) any required affidavits, certifications of origin or any other certifications, source inspection tags or similar documentation, (h) for repair, service, substitute or other replacements, MMC’s and Seller’s RMA or similar identifiers, and (i) any other information requested by MMC or its Customer(s) from time to time. Seller will pay all premium freight costs over normal freight costs as necessary to meet MMC’s required delivery dates due to Seller’s acts or omissions or any issues with Seller’s operations or supply chain. Seller shall take all necessary steps to ensure the accurate and timely delivery and receipt of planning and shipping releases between Seller and MMC. Without otherwise limiting MMC’s rights and remedies, Seller shall reimburse MMC on demand for any liabilities, damages and costs incurred as a result of Seller’s improper packing, labeling, routing or shipping or any other non-compliance with this paragraph, including all costs related to expedited or special transportation, manufacturing shutdowns, interruptions, reduced line-speeds or other delays in production, costs of inspection, sorting, storage, rework, repair or replacements.

7. M.S.D.S LABELING-INCOMING. Without limiting Seller’s obligations elsewhere herein, it is Seller’s obligation under the O.S.H.A. Hazard Communication Standard to: (a) insure proper labeling on all containers MMC receives; and (b) supply MMC with updated Material Safety Data Sheets. This requirement is a condition of all Orders. MMC will consider Seller’s failure to comply with this requirement as a basis for rejection of shipment.

8. DELIVERY. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by MMC or specified on the face of the Order, all deliveries of Goods under the Agreement shall be F.O.B. (Incoterms 2020) at the location and on the date(s) specified on the face of the Order and shipped freight collect using a MMC specified carrier. Where MMC has so authorized in writing, Goods may be shipped freight prepaid, but Seller shall prepay all shipping charges and route the Goods by the carrier requested and list said charges as a separate item on Seller’s invoice. Time and quantity are of the essence in Seller’s performance of the Agreement. Seller shall deliver the Goods and perform the Services strictly in accordance with the quantities, schedules, and other requirements specified in the Agreement, including delivering one hundred percent (100%) of the quantities of Goods or Services requested on the delivery or performance dates specified by MMC. Seller shall immediately notify MMC if Seller is or may be unable to deliver the Goods or perform the Services in the quantities and on the dates and times specified by MMC. Unless otherwise specified on the face of the Order, the Goods must be delivered in a single delivery and not in lots or installments. Detailed invoices shall be delivered to MMC’s address for invoices set forth on the applicable Order no earlier than the delivery or performance date of the Goods or Services invoiced or as otherwise directed by MMC from time to time. All invoices must reference the applicable Order, descriptions and quantities of Goods delivered or Services performed, bill of lading numbers, applicable currency, and all other information requested by MMC from time to time. Separate packing slips must be included in each shipment showing Order number, quantity, part number and description of Goods therein. Time and quantity are of the essence in Seller’s performance of the Agreement. Seller shall not deliver any of the Goods or perform any of the Services except at the time or dates indicated on the face of the Order. MMC may change the rate of scheduled deliveries or performance or direct temporary suspension of the same, neither of which entitles Seller to any price modifications. MMC is not obligated to accept early or late deliveries or performances, or partial or excess deliveries or performances. No change in the scheduled delivery date or performance will be permitted without MMC’s prior written consent. No act of MMC, including acceptance of early, late, partial or excess deliveries or performance, any inspection (or lack thereof) or payment will waive MMC’s rights, nor shall it be deemed a waiver of future compliance with the terms hereof. In the absence of designated times for delivery or performance Seller shall deliver or perform in accordance with such subsequent directions given by MMC or otherwise as expeditiously as possible. Failure of Seller to deliver or perform in accordance with the times required thereof, as herein provided shall constitute a breach of the Agreement between Seller and MMC. Without otherwise limiting MMC’s rights and remedies, if conforming Goods are not delivered or conforming Services are not performed at the agreed upon time: (a) any direct or indirect liabilities, damages and costs incurred by MMC or its Customers, including all costs related to expedited or special transportation, manufacturing shutdowns, interruptions, reduced line-speeds or other delays in production, costs of inspection, sorting, storage, replacements or re-performance shall be Seller’s responsibility and paid or otherwise reimbursed to MMC on demand; and (b) MMC may, at its option, terminate the Agreement or all or any portion of the Order without liability pursuant to paragraph 29 below and reject any Goods or Services previously delivered or performed (even if initially accepted by MMC, paid for in part or in full or utilized in part or in full, modified or otherwise altered).

9. RISK OF LOSS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, including otherwise applicable Incoterms or other delivery terms and regardless of any transfer of title, Seller agrees to bear all risk of loss, injury, damage or destruction of Goods and material ordered herein which occur prior to final acceptance by MMC. No such loss, injury, or destruction shall release Seller from obligations hereunder. Risk of loss or damage and responsibility for the inspection, sorting, storage, maintenance, insurance, re-performance or return of any non-conforming Goods or rejected deliveries or deliverables shall be borne solely by Seller.

10. QUANTITIES; ORDER DURATION. If a specific quantity is not specified on the face of the Order, or if the face of the Order specifies the quantity as zero, “blanket,” “see release,” “as scheduled,” “as directed,” “as requested,” “subject to MMC’s releases” or any similar descriptors, then the Order shall be deemed a requirements contract, and Seller hereby agrees to sell to MMC and MMC hereby agrees to purchase exclusively from Seller one hundred percent (100%) of MMC’s requirements for the Goods or Services, and those requirements will be reflected in quantities that are specifically identified by MMC as firm orders in MMC’s releases issued or otherwise made available to Seller. For avoidance of doubt, each such release, authorization, manifest or other similar instruction issued or otherwise made available to Seller shall be deemed part of, and shall be governed by and subject in all respects to, the Agreement (including these Terms). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, MMC may purchase and use Goods from other suppliers for purposes of (a) evaluation, qualification, trial production testing or similar purposes, (b) protecting against actual, threatened, potential or perceived shortages or disruptions in supply from Seller, including in connection with any breach or threatened breach by Seller of the Order, or (c) as otherwise permitted by the Order. If Seller ships or delivers a quantity of Goods greater than or less than the quantity prescribed for each shipment, MMC shall have the right at its election to reject the shipment in its entirety or to accept any part thereof and reject the remainder or to accept the entire shipment. In no event shall MMC be responsible for any additional shipping or transportation charges resulting from shipments by Seller in less than specified quantities or from partial shipments. Subject in all respects to MMC’s termination rights, the Agreement is binding on the parties for (i) the length of the applicable original equipment manufacturer vehicle or other program production life for which MMC anticipates incorporating the Goods or Services, (ii) such alternate duration expressly set forth on the face of the Order, or (iii) one (1) year from the date the Order is issued if the Goods or Services are not associated (directly or indirectly) with one (1) or more applicable original equipment manufacturer vehicle or other programs (as determined by MMC), automatically renewing for successive one (1) year periods thereafter unless MMC provides notice to Seller of its desire not to renew (and thereafter, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with MMC to secure an alternate source of supply acceptable to MMC and to otherwise ensure an orderly transition of supply pursuant to paragraph 30 below). Seller’s obligations with respect to service and replacement Goods, including those under paragraph 22 below, will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement. Seller acknowledges and assumes the risk of the original equipment manufacturer vehicle or other program production life, as applicable, being delayed, suspended, cancelled, extended or otherwise expanded or reduced, and agrees to supply according to any applicable program (or related program) life changes.

11. FORECASTS. Any estimates, forecasts or other projections of anticipated requirements for Goods and Services or program lengths provided by MMC, if any, are, for avoidance of doubt, non-binding and provided for informational purposes only and are subject to change for any variety of internal and external factors within and outside MMC’s control. MMC makes no representation, warranty, express or implied, including as to the accuracy or completeness of any such estimates, forecasts or other projections provided by MMC to Seller from time to time. No such estimate, forecast or projection shall be deemed or otherwise construed as any form of commitment of MMC or otherwise binding on MMC in any respect.

12. CHANGES. MMC reserves the right at any time, by delivery of notice to Seller, to change or cause Seller to change the Goods or Services, including changes to (a) designs or specifications, drawings, processing, methods of manufacturing, packing or shipping, approved sub-suppliers, (b) method of shipment or packaging, or the time and destination for delivery, or (c) any inspection, testing or quality control requirements, or any other changes to the applicable scope of work. Seller agrees to promptly make such changes. Any such changes shall be deemed not to affect the time for performance or cost under the Order unless, within fifteen (15) days of MMC’s issuance of such notice, Seller notifies MMC of any impact on the price or time for delivery or performance and a detailed claim for any requested adjustment(s) thereto (together with supporting information and related documentation). If after reviewing such claim and request, MMC determines in its sole judgment that an adjustment is warranted, the parties will discuss an equitable adjustment taking into consideration any adjustments received by MMC from its Customer; provided, however, any such adjustment shall only be considered if and to the extent the underlying change is the sole and direct result of a requirement of MMC. No price increase shall take effect unless and until an Order revision is issued by MMC to Seller, and Seller shall permit MMC to audit all relevant Seller records and facilities to verify MMC’s claim and request. For avoidance of doubt, if Seller fails to respond within ten (10) days of MMC’s issuance of a change notice, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted MMC’s changes with no adjustment on the price or time for delivery or performance. Seller shall make no changes to the manufacture of Goods or performance of Services, including any changes in manufacturing or assembly processes or procedures, suppliers, service providers or other subcontractors, specifications, designs, materials, internal or external finishes, fitments, forms or functions, location of manufacturing facilities, or personnel performing Services, without MMC’s prior written consent. If Seller proposes a change, Seller shall notify MMC at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the proposed date of implementation together with all necessary information and documentation so as to permit MMC to fully assess the proposed change. Seller shall provide, at Seller’s sole cost, any samples and additional information, testing or other data requested by MMC at the times and in the form requested by MMC. In connection with and prior to implementation of any such change request approved by MMC in writing, MMC may condition its approval on and otherwise require, among any other requirements demanded of Seller, that (i) adjustments be made to the price or time for delivery or performance of Goods and Services and (ii) Seller, at Seller’s sole cost, prepare a safety stock of Goods satisfactory to MMC. No changes may be made by Seller other than in accordance herewith.

13. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Seller hereby grants to MMC, its affiliates, agents, and Customers, and each of their subcontractors an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use any intellectual property used in the manufacture of the Goods or relating to the Services to make, have made, use, sell and exploit the Goods and Services. The foregoing license to make or have made may be exercised only upon the transition of supply pursuant to paragraph 30 below to MMC or the person(s) designated by MMC and is subject to MMC’s payment of a reasonable royalty (as determined in MMC’s sole discretion) with respect to any of Seller’s intellectual property protected by a currently issued valid U.S. patent and used in the manufacture of the Goods or the provision of Services except to the extent such transition of supply occurs as a result of MMC’s termination for cause, in which case such license shall be royalty free. Seller hereby further grants to MMC a permanent, paid-up, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, repair, modify, and sell any software incorporated in the Goods or Services in conjunction with the use, sale or any other exploitation thereof, and all works of authorship, including any software, computer programs, and databases, and all enhancements, modifications, and updates thereto, and all other written work products or materials, which are created in the course of performing the Agreement, separately or as part of any Goods or Services, shall be deemed “works made for hire” and shall be MMC’s sole property. To the extent that such works of authorship do not qualify under applicable law as works made for hire, Seller hereby assigns to MMC all right, title, and interest in any intellectual property rights in such works of authorship. If such assignment is not possible under any applicable law, Seller grants an irrevocable, exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license to MMC with respect to such works of authorship. Upon MMC’s request, Seller agrees to provide all documents and other information necessary for MMC’s (or its designee’s) use of such intellectual property. Seller will provide MMC (on a non-confidential basis) all technical information requested by MMC from time to time relating to the Goods and Services which is necessary or useful to MMC’s every use of the Goods and Services, including with respect to the manufacture, design, and performance of such Goods and Services, and any drawings, engineering validations, qualifications, applications, and compliance or other testing. Seller will not assert and hereby irrevocably waives any claim against MMC, MMC’s Customers, and MMC’s designees with respect to any information, including technical information, used, disclosed or otherwise made available by Seller in connection with the provision of Goods and Services under the Agreement, excluding valid claims of infringement concerning patented intellectual property not licensed pursuant to this paragraph. Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes MMC, its affiliates, agents, and Customers, and each of their subcontractors to repair, reconstruct or rebuild the Goods delivered under this Contract without payment of any royalty or other compensation to Seller. Any idea, invention, concept, discovery, work of authorship, patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, know-how or other intellectual property that results from engineering, consulting or development services paid for separately or as part of the price of purchased Goods and Services shall be MMC’s sole property. Seller hereby assigns all right, title, and interest in and to any such intellectual property to MMC and will notify MMC of the existence of such intellectual property and otherwise assist MMC in every reasonable way to perfect MMC’s right, title, and interest in thereto (including by executing and delivering all additional documents requested by MMC in connection therewith). Seller shall not manufacture or provide, or offer to manufacture or provide, any goods or services that are based in whole or in part on MMC’s or its affiliates’ intellectual property or any derivative thereof, whether for Seller’s own purposes (other than in furtherance of Seller’s obligations under the Agreement) or any third parties (including MMC’s Customers). The foregoing restriction shall not apply in respect of “off-the-shelf” or “catalogue” goods or services independently developed by Seller and routinely manufactured in each case prior MMC’s issuance of the Order (“Commodity Goods and Services”).

14. WARRANTY. Seller expressly warrants to MMC, MMC’s Customers, and the direct and indirect users of the products and services sold by MMC that the Goods and Services shall: (a) strictly conform to all final specifications, drawings, samples, and other descriptions furnished, specified, approved or otherwise adopted by MMC; (b) strictly comply with all applicable laws of the jurisdictions in which the Goods and Services, and the products and services containing the Goods and Services, originate or are to be consumed, used, sold, or performed; (c) be merchantable; (d) be free from any defects in design, to the extent furnished by Seller or any of its subcontractors or suppliers, even if the design has been approved by MMC; (e) be manufactured entirely of new materials and free from any defects in materials and workmanship; (f) be fit, sufficient, and suitable for the particular purpose for which the Goods or the Services are intended, including and as applicable, the specified performance in the component, system, subsystem or end-product location and the environment in which they are or may reasonably be expected to perform; (g) not and do not infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property of any third party; and (h) at the time of physical delivery, be conveyed to MMC with good title, free of all liens, claims, and encumbrances whatsoever. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it knows the particular purpose for which the Goods and Services are intended. For avoidance of doubt, MMC’s provision or approval of designs, drawings or other documentation does not release Seller from any liability. The warranty period shall be that provided by applicable law, except that if MMC is obligated to provide a longer warranty period to or otherwise by its Customer, such longer period shall apply, and in no event shall such warranty period be shorter than sixty (60) months from MMC’s final acceptance of the applicable Goods or Services; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing warranty periods, upon the occurrence of any serial defect(s) in Goods or Services (as determined by MMC in its sole discretion), the warranty period shall continue indefinitely. The warranties provided in this paragraph are in addition to all other warranties available under applicable law, and all such warranties shall survive inspection, testing, audit, review, acceptance, use or incorporation of the Goods and Services by MMC. Seller shall promptly repair, replace, substitute, re-perform, refund or credit nonconforming Goods or Services upon notice in MMC’s sole discretion and at Seller’s sole cost, without limiting or affecting MMC’s other rights or remedies, and the warranties provided in this paragraph shall likewise apply to such repaired, replaced, substituted or re-performed Goods and Services. Seller will at all times strictly conform to the quality control standards and inspection systems, as well as related standards, policies, and systems established or required by MMC or its Customers from time to time. Seller will at all times strictly conform to the quality control standards and inspection systems, as well as related standards, policies, and systems established or required by Buyer or its Customers from time to time, including ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 quality certifications. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller agrees to meet or exceed all requirements of industry Production Part Approval Processes (“PPAP”) as specified from time to time by MMC and its Customers, and agrees to promptly provide all information and supporting documentation necessary to demonstrate Seller’s compliance therewith as requested from time to time by MMC.

15. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Seller will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MMC, its affiliates and Customers, and the direct and indirect users of the products and services sold by MMC, and each of their respective equity holders, employees, directors, officers, managers, and advisors, affiliates, agents, customers, invitees, successors, and assigns from and against all liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages, and expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees) of any nature or kind (including special, incidental, consequential, indirect, personal injury, death, and property damages, royalties, anticipated or lost profits, any voluntary or involuntary recall or other customer field service action costs, costs allocated under warranty allocation programs, production delay, stoppage or interruption costs, inspection, handling, reworking, and re-performance charges, settlements and judgments, and other costs associated with MMC’s administrative time, labor, and materials) arising out of or resulting from: (a) any nonconforming or otherwise defective Goods or Services; (b) Seller’s performance in connection with the Agreement, including any negligent or wrongful act or omission of Seller or its representatives; (c) any breach or failure by Seller or its representatives to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including these Terms), including any breach of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants; (d) any actual or claimed infringement of patent, trademark, copyright rights, misappropriation of trade secrets, or any other claim relating to intellectual property of a third party, or any breach of confidentiality; or (e) any actual or alleged noncompliance by Seller or its representatives with applicable laws of the jurisdictions in which the Goods or the Services, and the products and services containing the Goods and Services, are to be consumed, used, sold, and performed. MMC may defend, or participate in the defense of (at Seller’s sole cost), any claim brought by any third party entitling MMC to indemnification under this paragraph. Seller agrees that MMC’s action to defend such claims (or participate in such defense) is in the interest of both MMC and Seller and is done to mitigate damages. Seller waives the right to argue that MMC’s defense of such claims in any way limits MMC’s right to seek indemnity from Seller or assert a claim against Seller. Seller’s obligation to provide indemnification as described in this paragraph shall apply regardless of whether any claim arises in tort, negligence, contract, warranty, strict liability or otherwise.

16. REMEDIES. The rights and remedies reserved to MMC herein are cumulative with and in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies available to MMC under the Agreement (including these Terms) or applicable law. Without otherwise limiting such rights and remedies, MMC may, at its option: (a) return nonconforming Goods or Services to Seller, at Seller’s risk and expense, and require Seller to immediately issue MMC a refund of all amounts paid or full credit against the price otherwise chargeable, or promptly repair or replace the Goods or re-perform the Services at Seller’s risk and expense; (b) retain the Goods and Services and set off losses against any amount due Seller or its affiliates by MMC or its affiliates; or (c) repair or replace the Goods and Services and charge Seller with all direct and indirect expenses arising therefrom. In addition to MMC’s rights and remedies set out herein, for avoidance of doubt, MMC has all of the other rights and remedies that applicable law grants buyers, including the right to recover special, incidental, consequential, indirect or other damages resulting from any breach by Seller, including any costs, expenses, and losses incurred directly or indirectly by MMC or its Customers (including the costs of inspection, sorting, storage, rework, repair, replacement, re-performance, voluntary or involuntary recall or other corrective service actions, and any personal injury, death or property damage caused by such breach or any nonconforming Goods or Services). Without otherwise limiting any right of reimbursement, refund, credit, set off or other manner of recoupment available to MMC or its affiliates, MMC shall have the right, without prior notice, to debit any amounts owing to MMC or its affiliates resulting from any breach by Seller of any of Seller’s obligations under the Agreement as determined by MMC in its sole discretion. Seller shall notify MMC of any good faith dispute with any debit within ten (10) days from the date of the debit or shall be deemed to have waived all rights to dispute such debit. The parties shall seek to resolve any debit-related disputes expeditiously and in good faith, provided that Seller shall continue performing its obligations during any such dispute. No delay by MMC in exercising any of MMC’s rights or remedies shall be deemed a waiver of, or otherwise diminish or affect, such right or remedy. In any action brought by MMC to enforce Seller’s obligations in connection herewith, Seller acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages are not a sufficient remedy, and MMC shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive equitable relief as a remedy for any breach (without the necessity of showing damages or posting bond), plus recovery of MMC’s actual attorneys’ fees and other professional fees. MMC shall have the full statutory period of limitations to bring any action arising out of MMC’s agreement with Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, a reasonable time for MMC to notify Seller of any breach is not less than two (2) years from when MMC discovers the breach.

17. FORCE MAJEURE. If either party is unable to perform its obligations under the Agreement as a result of a force majeure event beyond the reasonable control of such party and without such party’s fault or negligence, then any delay or failure to perform under the Agreement that results solely and directly from such force majeure event will be excused for only so long as such force majeure event continues so long as the affected party gives written notice of the delay to the other party as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the force majeure event but in no event more than two (2) days thereafter (together with all information reasonably necessary to understand and verify the same, and an estimate of the duration thereof). As used herein, “force majeure events” are strictly limited to fires, floods, natural disasters, official declarations of war, civil riots, government order, law, or actions, or pandemics or epidemics officially declared by the World Health Organization. For avoidance of doubt, force majeure events do not include events that are foreseeable, organized labor activities, lockouts, strikes or other labor or commercial disputes, changes in economic circumstances (including volume fluctuations, foreign exchange rates, raw material cost increases, inflation, labor, utility and other production and supply costs, tariffs or similar governmental acts, and any other event which may impact the price or availability of materials, supplies, services or labor), Seller’s subcontractors’ or suppliers’ defaults, telecommunication, equipment or banking system failures. Seller shall use best efforts to end the delay or failure and ensure the effects of such force majeure event are minimized and shall resume performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the force majeure event. During any delay or failure to perform by Seller, MMC may (a) purchase substitute goods and services from other available sources and reduce its order quantities for Goods and Services respectively, with Seller reimbursing MMC for any additional costs to MMC for such substitutes or (b) have Seller provide substitute goods and services from other available sources as it directs. Without limiting Seller’s other obligations under this paragraph, in the event of any supply allocation by Seller in connection with a force majeure event, Seller will give preference to MMC for all Goods and Services ordered prior to and for the duration of such force majeure event until such time as Seller is operating normally. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, if Seller fails to promptly (in no event later than two (2) business days of the occurrence of the force majeure event) provide adequate assurances to MMC in writing that any delay or failure will not exceed thirty (30) days, or in the event any delay or failure lasts more than thirty (30) days, MMC may terminate the Agreement or all or any part of the Order without any liability or obligation to Seller, including any obligation to purchase, pay or reimburse Seller for undelivered finished Goods, work-in-process or raw materials. For avoidance of doubt, the rights granted to Seller with respect to excused delays under this paragraph are intended to limit Seller’s rights under theories of force majeure, commercial impracticability, impracticability, or impossibility of performance, or failure of presupposed conditions or otherwise, including any rights arising under Sections 2-615 or 2-616 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the foregoing or any of Seller’s other obligations under the Agreement, sufficiently in advance of the expiration of any of Seller’s labor contracts or immediately after Seller anticipates or learns of any potential or impending strike, labor dispute, work stoppage or other disruption at Seller’s facility(ies) that could impact delivery of Goods to MMC or Seller’s ability to otherwise perform, Seller will immediately commence and promptly complete production of an inventory of finished Goods in quantities sufficient to ensure the continuous and full supply of Goods to MMC during the duration of any such strike, dispute, stoppage or other disruption, and locate such inventory in an area that will not be impacted thereby.

18. INSURANCE. Seller shall purchase and maintain at all times (in commercially reasonable amounts if not otherwise stated but in no event less than otherwise acceptable to MMC): (a) commercial general liability coverage in the amount of at least three million USD ($3,000,000) or such other amount required by MMC, including product recall and product liability coverage; (b) worker’s compensation coverage at statutory requirements; (c) all risks property coverage including business interruption; (d) professional liability coverage without any cyber exclusion. Each of the forgoing policies must be maintained with a company rated “A- VII” or better by A. M. Best, or reasonable equivalent. At MMC’s request from time to time, Seller shall promptly (in no event later than two (2) business days) deliver a certificate of insurance identifying MMC as an additional insured and loss payee. Seller shall cause the applicable insurer to provide thirty (30) days’ notice to MMC prior to cancellation or material changes to applicable policies. Any cancellation or change shall not affect Seller’s obligation to maintain the required insurance coverage. Any coverage written on a claims made form must be maintained for three (3) years after expiration or termination of the Agreement. No coverage required by this paragraph shall in any way apply as a limit to Seller’s liability or MMC’s entitlement to recovery.

19. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Seller represents and warrants to MMC and its Customers that all applicable laws rule and regulation of government authority, including any applicable Executive Order mandating use of American materials covering the manufacture, performance, labeling, transportation, distribution, importation, licensing, approval or certification of the Goods and Services or Seller’s operations under the Agreement shall be complied with. Upon MMC’s request from time to time, Seller shall furnish MMC with specific declarations and certifications of legal compliance or otherwise certify in writing its compliance with any or all of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing or anything herein, Goods and Services must conform to the current applicable statutory and regulatory requirements in the country of receipt, the country of shipment, and the customer-identified country of destination, if provided. If MMC defines special controls for certain products with statutory and regulatory requirements, Seller shall ensure they are implemented and maintained as defined, including at suppliers. Seller shall at all times comply with MMC’s supplier code of conduct (or equivalent policy) and each other written or communicated policy of MMC applicable to MMC’s business partners, including those made available on MMC’s website at www.mennies.com (or any successor website thereto), as each such policy is in effect or modified from time to time.

20. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, Seller shall supply at its own expense all materials, equipment, tooling, dies, test and assembly fixtures, jigs, gauges, patterns, casting patterns, cavities, molds, together with any accessions, attachments, parts, accessories, substitutions, replacements, and appurtenances thereto, and all related documentation, drawings, specifications, samples, test reports, hardware, software and facilities required to perform the Order (collectively, the “Seller Material”). Seller grants MMC (or its designee) an irrevocable option to take possession of and title to the Seller Material that is unique and used to manufacture the Goods or perform the Services upon payment of the net book value less any amounts previously paid to Seller for the cost of such Seller Material, except where such Seller Material is primarily used to produce goods or perform services that comprise Commodity Goods and Services.

21. PROPERTY FURNISHED TO SELLER BY MMC INCLUDING DIES AND MOLDS. Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that all materials, equipment, tooling, dies, test and assembly fixtures, jigs, gauges, patterns, casting patterns, cavities, molds, together with any accessions, attachments, parts, accessories, substitutions, replacements, and appurtenances thereto, and any special items of a like nature produced or otherwise obtained by Seller in connection with performing Seller’s obligations under the Agreement that are furnished to Seller or specifically paid for, in whole or in part, by MMC or MMC’s Customer (“Tooling”) shall be held by Seller on a bailment basis and remain the property of, with both title and the right of possession in, MMC (or, if applicable, MMC’s Customer) and without limiting any other rights and remedies available to MMC (or, as applicable, MMC’s Customer). While in Seller’s direct or indirect custody or control, all Tooling shall be held at Seller’s risk, fully insured by Seller against loss or damage in an amount equal to the replacement cost thereof at Seller’s sole cost, conspicuously marked, and used solely in Seller’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement. Tooling shall be subject to removal upon MMC’s instructions. Seller shall not permit any liens, claims or encumbrances to be placed upon any Tooling. Seller shall immediately notify MMC of the location of Tooling if ever located (even temporarily) at any place other than Seller’s approved facility. Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost, maintain the Tooling in good condition and repair, and shall replace any Tooling if, as, and when reasonably required. MMC does not guarantee the accuracy of, or the availability or suitability of, the Tooling, and all such Tooling is supplied by MMC (if at all) “as-is” without any warranty of any kind. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement or all or any part of an Order, as applicable, Seller shall retain on a bailment basis for MMC’s benefit, at Seller’s sole cost, all related Tooling then in Seller’s direct or indirect custody or control until MMC provides further written instruction. Upon receipt of such written instruction, Seller shall, at Seller’s cost, prepare the Tooling for shipment and shall deliver it to the specified location(s) on such dates as specified by MMC. All Tooling shall be returned in no less than the same condition as originally received by Seller, reasonable wear and tear excepted. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MMC SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE TOOLING. MMC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE TOOLING, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND SELLER WAIVES, FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, ALL CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY. Tooling qualification is contingent upon receipt and approval by MMC of Seller’s PPAP submission package or such other validation materials as required by MMC. Subject in all respects to applicable requirements concerning service and replacement Goods, Tooling life requirements shall be mutually agreed upon as part of the Agreement prior to any Tooling kickoff. Except with respect to Tooling furnished by MMC to Seller, Seller shall issue or cause to be issued to MMC progress reports concerning the development and manufacture of any new or replacement Tooling on a periodic basis as specified by MMC from time to time in a format mutually agreeable to the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph 4 above, payment terms for Tooling are measured from MMC’s final acceptance and approval of the applicable PPAP submission package or such other validation materials as required by MMC. No Tooling material or manufacturing process change may be implemented without MMC’s prior written approval. MMC owned Tooling must be permanently identified as directed by MMC and tagged or otherwise labeled with the specified MMC Tooling identification number (or such other information as MMC may specify) in the manner directed by MMC. MMC’s Customer owned Tooling must be permanently identified as directed by MMC’s Customer and tagged or otherwise labeled with the specified Customer Tooling identification number (or such other information as MMC’s Customer may specify) in the manner directed by MMC’s Customer. For avoidance of doubt, Seller shall maintain at Seller’s sole cost the production capability of Tooling at all times Seller is obligated to sell MMC service and replacement requirements for the Goods, including maintaining such Tooling in good condition and repair, and replacing any such Tooling if, as, and when reasonably required.

22. SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS. During the production period and for (a) fifteen (15) years after the applicable original equipment manufacturer vehicle program ceases production (i.e., end of program life) or (b) ten (10) years after any non-automotive program ceases production, Seller hereby agrees to sell to MMC and MMC hereby agrees to purchase from Seller one hundred percent (100%) of MMC’s service and replacement requirements for the Goods, including component parts and materials, and those requirements will be reflected in quantities that are specifically identified by MMC as firm orders in MMC’s releases issued or otherwise made available to Seller, at the prices set forth in the Order (or applicable portion thereof as described in the next sentence) for the first two (2) years plus any reasonable and actual cost differential for specialized packaging as approved by MMC. Thereafter, pricing shall be as mutually agreed by the parties in good faith taking into account any actual cost differential for manufacturing plus any reasonable and actual cost differential for specialized packaging as approved by MMC. If Goods are systems or modules or otherwise component based, Seller shall sell each module, component or part at a price that does not, in the aggregate, exceed the complete Good price specified in the Order, less applicable assembly costs. Seller shall make service literature and other materials available to MMC in a form requested by MMC (including electronically) upon request from time to time at Seller’s sole cost. Seller’s obligation with respect to service and replacement requirements shall survive any expiration or termination of the Agreement and shall be made pursuant to the Agreement (including these Terms) as if no expiration or termination occurred.

23. CONFIDENTIALITY. All non-public, confidential or proprietary information of MMC, including descriptions, specifications, and samples, drawings, flow charts, data reports, photos, artwork, software, etc. furnished or otherwise made available to Seller by MMC, whether disclosed orally or disclosed or accessed in written, electronic or other form or media, or observed or otherwise learned, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential,” shall be and remain the property of MMC. Seller shall consider all information furnished by MMC to be confidential and shall not disclose any such information to any other party or use such information for any purpose other than performing the Agreement. Upon MMC’s request, Seller shall (with written certification thereof) promptly return all documents and other materials received from MMC and promptly and securely destroy any compositions, summaries or other embodiments thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will not advertise, publish or otherwise disclose to any third party (other than to Seller’s professional advisors, on a confidential and need-to-know basis) in any manner the fact that Seller has contracted to sell MMC the Goods and Services covered by the Order or use any trademarks or trade names of MMC in any press release, advertising or other promotional materials. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive any expiration or termination of the Agreement. No information, including commercial, financial or technical information, disclosed or otherwise made available in any manner or at any time by Seller to MMC in connection with the Agreement (including any such disclosures predating the Agreement) shall be deemed to be confidential or proprietary information, and Seller shall have no rights against MMC with respect to any use or disclosure of such information.

24. SERVICES; MALICIOUS CODE. If the Agreement covers Services, (a) Seller represents and agrees that it is an independent contractor, and that neither Seller nor any of Seller’s employees or agents shall be considered agents or employees of MMC, and (b) Seller shall furnish, at Seller’s expense, all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, lodging, meals, facilities, and other items necessary to perform the Services. Seller further represents and warrants such Services shall be performed in accordance with the highest standards of professional and ethical competences and integrity in Seller’s industry by individuals with the necessary knowledge, skill, expertise, and training in a diligent, workmanlike, prompt, and professional manner. Seller shall provide reasonable access to the persons performing Services and promptly replace any such person MMC determines is unfit or unsatisfactory. Seller will promptly notify MMC of any intellectual property, including discoveries, improvements, inventions, creations, writings, product designs, prototypes, specifications, drawings or other works that Seller conceives, reduces to practice, makes or otherwise creates in connection with the performance of Services, and such intellectual property will constitute deliverables owned by MMC. Seller will provide MMC reasonable access to persons performing Services and promptly replace any such person that MMC considers unfit or otherwise unsatisfactory. Seller will use standard industry best practices to ensure that no malicious code is directly or indirectly provided, delivered or transmitted to MMC through any Goods, Services, software, hardware or any other mode. As used herein, “malicious code” means any code which is designed to harm, or otherwise disrupt in any unauthorized manner, the operation of a person’s network or computer programs or systems (whether owned, leased, rented or otherwise hosted), or destroy or damage a person’s data in an unauthorized manner.

25. SERVICES ON MMC’S PREMISES. If performance of Services or delivery or installation of Goods by Seller involves operations by its employees, subcontractors or other representatives on the premises of MMC or its Customer, (a) Seller shall at all times enforce strict discipline and maintain good order among all persons engaged in the activity on the premises and shall cause them to comply with all policies in force at the premises, including all fire prevention and safety rules and regulations, and all applicable laws, (b) Seller shall take all necessary steps to prevent any injury or damage to persons or property, and (c) Seller shall keep the premises free from accumulation of waste materials and rubbish caused by its employees or subcontractors and upon completion shall promptly remove all of Seller’s and its representatives’ equipment and surplus materials. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall also apply to any other party or subcontractor engaged by Seller for the performance of the Services.

26. CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS. Where Goods or Services will be sold, or otherwise incorporated into products or services that will be sold, directly or indirectly to an original equipment manufacturer, Seller shall take all necessary actions, provide all necessary information, comply with all applicable requirements, and do all other things as MMC deems necessary or desirable and within Seller’s control to enable MMC to meet MMC’s obligations under the terms and conditions of any nomination letter, award, purchase order, release, supply agreement or other document or contractual obligation of any kind (collectively, “Customer Terms”) directly or indirectly applicable to MMC or its Customers from time to time in respect of MMC’s direct or indirect supply of products or services to such original equipment manufacturer or Customer, including any obligations relating to: delivery, packaging and labeling, warranties, remedies, indemnification, intellectual property rights, inspections and audits, and replacement and service parts. MMC may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, provide Seller with information regarding Customer Terms that may be applicable to Seller pursuant to this paragraph, but, in any event, Seller shall be at all times solely responsible for ascertaining the Customer Terms that may affect Seller’s obligations hereunder and hereby agrees to be bound by such Customer Terms as if they applied directly to Seller. In the event of any conflict between applicable Customer Terms and the Agreement, MMC retains the exclusive right in its sole discretion to have all or any such Customer Terms prevail to the extent necessary or desirable to resolve any actual or preserved conflict between such Customer Terms and the Agreement.

27. INSPECTIONS AND AUDITS. Seller shall provide upon request proof of inspection of Goods before delivery. All shipments of Goods and performance of Services are subject to inspection and approval at or following delivery or performance, as applicable, by MMC or its representatives (provided, however, in no event shall inspection be required), and MMC may reject and refuse acceptance of nonconforming Goods or Services at any time. Seller shall reimburse MMC for the cost of inspection of rejected Goods and Services. No inspection, approval, delay or failure to inspect, or failure to discover any defect or nonconformance, shall relieve Seller of any liability or obligations under the Agreement or otherwise impair or waive any right or remedy of MMC with respect to the Goods or Seller’s performance of Services. Rejected Goods may be returned to Seller at Seller’s risk and expense. At no additional cost, upon reasonable advanced notice to Seller (twenty-four (24) hours or more being deemed reasonable), MMC or its Customers may conduct or cause to be conducted inspections and audits at Seller’s facilities, including reviewing (and making copies) of Seller’s books, records, aggregated or otherwise anonymized payroll data, receipts, correspondence, and other electronic and non-electronic documents relating to the Goods and Services, Seller’s obligations under the Agreement, any payment made to Seller, or any claim made by MMC or Seller, accessing Seller’s relevant personnel, and reviewing Seller’s manufacturing, testing, inspection, quality control, and reliability processes and procedures. Seller will preserve information subject to inspection and audit under this paragraph (or otherwise under the Agreement) for the longer of eight (8) years or the life of the relevant program plus eight (8) years or, if required by MMC’s Customer or applicable law, such longer applicable period.

28. TERMINATION BY MMC FOR CONVENIENCE. MMC may terminate the Agreement or all or any part of the Order at any time and for any reason (or no reason) in its sole discretion by giving at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Seller. Unless otherwise directed by MMC in writing, effective upon such termination, Seller will: (a) promptly terminate all work relating to the Order; (b) deliver to MMC all finished Goods reasonably held by Seller not in excess of MMC’s firm releases; (c) deliver to MMC all work-in-process incorporating MMC’s intellectual property and raw materials that cannot be consumed by Seller for other customers within one (1) year, provided in each case such work-in-process and raw materials were ordered in accordance with MMC’s firm releases; and (d) cooperate with MMC and its business partners as requested to transfer the provision of the Goods or Services to the person(s) designated by MMC as further described in paragraph 30 below. In connection with such termination, MMC shall pay Seller only: (i) the price for all conforming finished Goods actually delivered to and accepted by MMC; and (ii) the reasonable cost of usable work-in-process and raw materials described in (c) above that are actually delivered to and accepted by MMC (or otherwise destroyed with written certification of such destruction as directed by MMC), in each case as determined by MMC in its sole discretion. MMC’s payment obligations upon termination shall in no event exceed the amount that would have otherwise been due Seller had no termination occurred, and are contingent in all respects on Seller submitting a claim for such amounts, if any, within thirty (30) days of termination.

29. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. MMC may immediately terminate the Agreement or all or any part of the Order, without liability to Seller and without prior notice, if Seller: (a) breaches, threatens to breach or repudiates any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including these Terms) or any other agreement between MMC or its affiliates and Seller, including any actual or threatened “stop shipments” or any other actual or threated failure to timely deliver or perform in full; (b) fails to promptly (in no event later than two (2) business days) and adequately respond to a demand for adequate assurance; (c) fails to demonstrate progress or to meet applicable quality requirements so as to endanger timely and proper completion or delivery of Goods or completion of Services and, in any such case, Seller does not cure or correct such failure to MMC’s satisfaction (in its sole discretion) within ten (10) days (or such shorter period of time as MMC may determine, if commercially reasonable under the circumstances) after MMC’s delivery of notice specifying such failure; (d) enters or offers to enter into a transaction that includes a sale of a substantial portion of its assets used for the production of Goods or the performance of Services or a material change in the direct or indirect ownership or control of Seller (including control of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Seller’s equity interests), any merger or consolidation directly or indirectly involving Seller, or any other substantial change in Seller’s organization (each, a “Change of Control”); (e) fails to remain competitive with respect to quality, technology, delivery, service or pricing of the Goods or Services; or (f) undergoes an event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or liquidation, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or ceases to carry on business in the ordinary course, or permits a receiver to be appointed in respect of Seller’s property. In the event any termination made pursuant to this paragraph is later held by a court of last resort to have lacked cause as described in this paragraph or otherwise, the parties acknowledge and agree that such termination shall be automatically deemed a termination for convenience pursuant to paragraph 28 above. Seller may terminate the Order only for nonpayment by MMC and then only if (i) the amounts are material in amount and more than thirty (30) days past due, (ii) Seller first delivers to MMC notice specifying (A) the amounts which are past due (together with the relevant order or release number(s) and invoices number(s)) and (B) Seller’s intent to terminate the Order if the past due amount is not paid, and (C), within thirty (30) days of MMC’s actual receipt of such notice, MMC does not either pay the past due amounts or notify Seller that the amounts claimed are disputed in good faith.

30. TRANSITION SUPPORT. In connection with any expiration or termination of the Agreement or all or any part of the Order, Seller will cooperate with MMC and its business partners as requested to transition the provision of Goods and Services to the person(s) designated by MMC (or to MMC itself), at no additional cost to MMC, including by: (a) continuing production, delivery, and performance of all Goods and Services as directed by MMC in accordance with the Order, without premium or other condition, as if the expiration or termination had not occurred, during the entire period required by MMC to complete an orderly transition (as determined by MMC in its sole discretion) and ensure there is no interruption to MMC’s ability to obtain the Goods and Services as needed in connection with MMC’s or its Customers’ operations; (b) promptly providing all requested information and documentation regarding Seller’s operations and access to Seller’s facilities where Goods are manufactured or Services are performed; and (c) providing accommodations for special manufacturing or performance capacity and other transition support services as required by MMC.

31. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT CLAUSE. Unless exempt under the rules and regulations of the United States Secretary of Labor, the provisions of Executive Order 11246, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disability Act of 1990, and implementing regulations issued there under shall constitute a term of the Agreement and Seller agrees to be bound thereby. At the request of MMC, Seller shall execute and deliver to MMC a written agreement and certificate embodying the Equal Opportunity Clause, a Certification of Nonsegregated Facilities and, if applicable, Seller’s written Affirmative Action Compliance Program and Standard Form 100 (EEO-1). For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall also apply to other party of subcontractor engaged by Seller for the production and sale of the Goods or the performance of the Services.

32. ASSIGNMENT. The Agreement shall be binding upon and shall insure to the benefit of MMC and Seller and their respective successors and assigns. Seller shall not assign or delegate the Agreement or any portion of work in connection with the Agreement or any interest thereunder, without MMC’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding any such consent granted by MMC: (a) the person(s) to whom the Agreement or any portion thereof is assigned or to whom any obligations are delegated must first agree in writing to be bound by the terms of the Agreement; and (b) Seller shall remain at all times responsible for the performance of all obligations under the Agreement notwithstanding such assignment or delegation. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Seller in contravention of this paragraph shall be null and void. A Change of Control shall be deemed an assignment by Seller. The Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties’ permitted successors and assigns.

33. WAIVER. MMC’s failure to insist on performance of any of the terms or conditions herein or to exercise any right or privilege or MMC’s waiver of any breach hereunder shall not thereafter waive any other terms, conditions, or privileges, whether of the same or similar type, and no waiver by MMC shall be effective unless it is in writing.

34. SEVERABILITY. If any term, clause or provision contained in the Agreement is declared or held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration or holding shall not affect the validity of any other term, clause or provision herein contained, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the parties shall substitute the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that, as closely as possible, achieves the same business purpose as the invalid or unenforceable provision.

35. LIMITATION ON MMC’S LIABILITY - STATUE OF LIMITATIONS. In no event shall MMC be liable for anticipated profits or for incidental or consequential damages. MMC’s liability on any claim of any kind for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with or resulting from the Agreement or from the performance or breach thereof shall in no case exceed the price allocable to the Goods or Services or unit thereof which gives rise to the claim. MMC shall not be liable for penalties of any description. ANY ACTION RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH ON THE PART OF MMC AS TO THE GOODS OR SERVICES DELIVERED HEREUNDER MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OR ACTION HAS ACCURED.

36. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. The validity, interpretation, and enforcement of the Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflicts of law provisions, and the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods shall not apply. Seller irrevocably submits and agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

37. NOTICES. Any notice, communication or statement required or permitted to be given under the Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been sufficiently given when delivered in person or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, by overnight courier service, or by email (with delivery receipt requested), addressed to the address of the party specified on the face of the Order.

38. GENERAL. The Agreement (including these Terms) contains the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter thereof and is intended as a final expression of the parties’ agreement and a complete statement of the terms thereof, and all prior negotiations and proposals between the parties regarding the sale and purchase of Goods and Services are superseded. The Agreement (including these Terms) may only be amended or modified in writing signed by an authorized representative of MMC; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) any clerical errors contained in the Agreement, including any Order, are subject to correction by MMC in good faith following identification of such error(s); (b) MMC may modify these Terms from time to time by posting revisions to MMC’s website at www.mennies.com (or any successor website thereto) prior to the date when any such modification shall become effective, and such revised Terms shall apply to all Order revisions or releases issued on or after the effective date thereof, and Seller further acknowledges and agrees it is responsible to review such MMC’s website periodically; and (c) MMC may from time to time issue new or modify existing supplier manuals or other policies of MMC and such policies shall become effective as and when made available to Seller. For purposes of the Agreement, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, the word “or” is not exclusive, the words “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and “hereunder” refer to the Agreement as a whole, the words “applicable law” shall be deemed to include any statute, law, ordinance, regulation, rule, code, order, constitution, treaty, common law, judgment, decree, standard, other requirement or rule of law of any governmental authority, and any action or deliverable required to be taken or delivered “promptly” shall be so taken or delivered within five (5) business days unless a shorter period is provided. Headings are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of the Agreement. MMC and Seller are independent contractors, and nothing contained herein makes either party the agent or legal representative of the other party for any purpose. Neither party has authority to assume or create any obligation on behalf of the other party. In the event of a conflict between the Terms and any other Purchasing Document made part of the Agreement, the applicable Purchasing Document shall control. Seller shall pay MMC’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incurred in enforcing any provision of the Agreement. These Terms shall survive and continue in full force and effect following the expiration or termination of the Agreement.
