[***].

For greater clarity, nothing herein shall limit JDSU’s right to manufacture, assemble and/or produce Products internally, and/or use one or more contract manufacturers or suppliers for the partial and/or intermediate supply and/or assembly of Products or component materials of products, each as determined by JDSU.

 

2.2	Relationship Management.

 

2.2.1

ROE. JDSU and Supplier agree that day-to-day activities shall be managed in accordance with the latest JDSU revision of the Rules of Engagement document (ROE), which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Following the full execution of this Agreement, both parties shall meet and discuss the then-current ROE, with such ROE being added for reference to this Agreement following such discussion.

 

2.2.2

Quarterly Business Reviews Approximately one (1) month after the close of each fiscal JDSU quarter, JDSU and Supplier shall meet for a Quarterly Business Review (QBR) meeting to discuss Supplier’s performance, Prices and other issues relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to, Supplier’s performance with regard to technology, quality, responsiveness, delivery and costs (collectively TQRDC).

At every such meeting, Product Prices shall be reviewed for reductions, and the parties shall agree on the appropriate Price reductions and the manner and the timing of their implementation, on a fair and reasonable basis. The parties shall also set Price reduction targets for each of the next two (2) calendar quarters based on forecasted volumes and other factors affecting Price, and identify actions and corresponding responsibilities of the parties required to achieve the said target Price reductions. If, following such a meeting, despite good faith negotiation between the parties, Supplier, by its own actions or inaction, has failed to comply with previously agreed targets with respect to Supplier TQRDC, then such failure shall be a material breach of this Agreement and JDSU may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and/or cancel all outstanding Purchase Orders and Releases for such Products, [***].

If JDSU is not reasonably satisfied with the corrective action proposed in the CAP, or if Supplier fails to provide a CAP within the time required, then JDSU may treat such failure as a material breach of this Agreement and may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and/or cancel all outstanding Purchase Orders and Releases for impacted Products, [***], notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

 

2.2.3

Product Pricing; Cost Reduction Reviews. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing or otherwise set forth herein, review and approval of Price modifications for Products shall not be considered more often than once every [***], consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. JDSU and Supplier shall conduct Cost Reduction Reviews at least once every three (3) months to review pricing, costs, expenses and other issues and considerations affecting costs [***]. In order to request approval for Price increases, Supplier shall disclose to JDSU the basis for any perceived need for an increase in charges including specific arrangements, agreements or understandings with its third party suppliers; provided, however, that disclosure, in and of itself, shall not be deemed approval of, or be construed to obligate JDSU to approve any such Price increases.

 

2.2.4

The parties understand that it may be necessary to introduce pricing on new Products or new pricing for existing Products through use of a Product Quotation and in such cases, Supplier shall propose a new Product Quotation to JDSU listing the Product and Prices for each assembly of the Product for

Upon JDSU’s “acceptance,” such Product Quotation shall be deemed accepted and become part of this Agreement, until such time as the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. Additionally, Supplier agrees to update and, as necessary, provide revisions to said information at least one (1) month prior to each Cost Reduction Review or as reasonably requested by JDSU at any time prior to such Cost Reduction Review, with at least the same or greater level of detail as provided with the original.

 

2.3

Inconsistent Terms. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control over any terms, whether additional or inconsistent, contained within a Product Quotation, purchase order or any other document, standard, automatically or manually generated, or otherwise, and no other terms (including any within a Product Quotation) shall be made a part of this Agreement or deemed to amend, modify or supersede the terms of this Agreement, unless JDSU and Supplier specifically agree in writing. For the avoidance of ambiguity, JDSU may accept pricing, Product specifications, order and delivery and other Product-specific information, set forth on a Product Quotation but under no circumstances shall JDSU be required to agree to or accept terms or conditions inconsistent with or modifying the terms and conditions of this Agreement, absent specific written authorization from JDSU.
