2.2.                   Lead Time.  Accuray’s required lead time for delivery of Products following receipt and acceptance of a Purchase Order from AS&E (“Lead Time”) may vary, but the minimum Lead Time required for timely delivery of Products by Accuray shall be eighteen (18) weeks from acceptance by Accuray of an AS&E Purchase Order (“Minimum Lead Time”).  If Accuray requires additional Lead Time in excess of the Minimum Lead Time to fulfill a Purchase Order, Accuray will advise AS&E of the additional Lead Time required prior to issuing a Quote in accordance with Section 2.4 below or as soon as reasonably practicable following discovery of the delay.  Accuray will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate Purchase Orders from AS&E requesting delivery of Products with less than the Minimum Lead Time, provided, however, that Accuray shall have no liability for its failure to deliver Products in advance of the Minimum Lead Time and AS&E shall reimburse Accuray for the amount of any reasonable, documented additional costs incurred in order to accommodate the shorter Lead Time.

 

2.3.                   Terms of Purchase Order.  When in conflict, this Agreement will take precedence over any terms and conditions that may be specified in an AS&E Purchase Order. Additional or different terms, including those submitted as a part of AS&E’s Purchase Order standard terms and conditions, shall not modify the terms of this Agreement.

 

2.4.                   Order Confirmation.  Following receipt of a Purchase Order, Accuray will provide a quote to AS&E in respect of the Products requested in such Purchase Order as confirmation and acceptance of the order (“Quote”).  Accuray shall without undue delay and at the latest within ten (10) working days of receipt of a Purchase Order either: (i) provide a Quote to AS&E in relation to the Products requested in such Purchase Order, or (ii) advise AS&E that it rejects the Purchase Order and the reason(s) why Accuray objects to the Purchase Order terms and a Quote is not provided by Accuray, provided, however, that with respect to standing wave Products, Accuray shall not reject any Purchase Order that conforms to the requirements of this Agreement.  Once received from Accuray, AS&E shall execute and return such Quote to Accuray within two (2) working days.

 

2.5.                   Quote Cancellation.  AS&E may cancel a Purchase Order (and the associated Quote) at any time upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Accuray. If a Quote has been executed and accepted by Accuray, AS&E shall, with respect to such cancelled Quote, be liable to pay Accuray charges equal to the total purchase price for each Product unit ordered under the applicable Quote multiplied by the percent completion of the relevant Product unit at the time of such cancellation request up to a maximum amount of the total purchase price for the Products under the relevant Quote as reasonably determined by Accuray (“Percentage Payment”).  As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of a cancellation notice from AS&E, Accuray will cease work on the Products the subject of the cancelled Quote and use commercially reasonable efforts to return purchased materials already received from its suppliers.  AS&E shall be entitled to audit the calculation of the Percentage Payment as follows:

 

(i)                                   If AS&E agrees with the Percentage Payment calculation, it shall remit payment of such amount to Accuray within thirty (30) days of receipt of such calculation.

(ii)                                If AS&E disputes the Percentage Payment calculation, AS&E shall, within thirty (30) days following AS&E’s receipt of the Percentage Payment calculation from Accuray, (A) notify Accuray in writing (“Audit Notice”) of its intent to audit the Percentage Payment calculation and (B) designate an independent third party auditor reasonably acceptable to Accuray (“Auditor”) to perform the audit.

 

(iii)                             Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Audit Notice from AS&E, Accuray will provide to the Auditor the documentation used by Accuray to determine the Percentage Payment calculation, including the cost of materials and outside labor purchased by Accuray and the cost of labor of Accuray’s personnel, and any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Auditor required to confirm the Percentage Payment calculation performed by Accuray (collectively “Back-up Documentation”).  The Auditor’s audit and examination of the Percentage Payment calculation will be limited to a determination of whether the Percentage Payment provided by Accuray is accurate based on the Back-up Documentation provided, and, prior to receiving such documentation, the Auditor shall be required to execute a non-disclosure agreement with Accuray and agree not to disclose Accuray’s confidential and sensitive pricing information to AS&E or any third parties.

 

(iv)                            The Auditor shall complete its audit of the Percentage Payment calculation within sixty (60) days of Accuray’s receipt of the Audit Notice and provide the results of such audit to AS&E and Accuray in writing.  If the audit results confirm Accuray’s calculation of the Percentage Payment or indicate that Accuray’s calculation is not more than 5% greater than the result of the Auditor’s calculation, AS&E shall be responsible for the costs and fees of the Auditor.  If the audit concludes that Accuray’s calculation of the Percentage Payment is more than 5% greater than the Auditor’s calculation, Accuray shall be responsible for the costs and fees of the Auditor.

 

(v)                               If the audit confirms Accuray’s calculation of the Percentage Payment, AS&E shall remit payment of such Percentage Payment amount to Accuray within thirty (30) days of receipt of the audit results from the Auditor.  If the audit results provided by the Auditor are not consistent with Accuray’s calculation of the Percentage Payment, the parties will escalate the matter to be resolved in accordance with Section 20.2.

 

Following payment to Accuray of the Percentage Payment for such cancelled Products, AS&E shall be the owner of any such work in progress and Accuray shall deliver the unfinished Products to AS&E at AS&E’s cost.

 

2.6.                   Rescheduling Product Delivery.  AS&E may request deferred delivery of Products pursuant to Quotes already accepted by Accuray, provided that AS&E cannot defer delivery of Products beyond the date that is ninety (90) days following the originally scheduled delivery date under such Quote.

5.0               PROCEDURE

 

5.1           System Test

 

Section 7 of this document provides a step-by-step procedure for complete final factory test of the 6 MeV Extended Guide Industrial Linear Accelerator X-ray System.  It is assumed that complete system checks out, debug and calibration has been accomplished prior to the start of this test.

 

Although the test steps have been placed in logical sequence, it is not a requirement of this test to perform the test steps in that order.

 

All data must be entered in ink.  No erasures or “white-outs” are allowed. No writeovers are to be used when correcting errors. Entries may be lined out, initialed, and new data entered with appropriate explanation on the same page.

 

5.2           Option List

 

The options included with each deliverable system shall be noted in the space provided in the Data Record. If no options provided write “NONE”.

 

5.3           Acceptance

 

Upon completion of this data package, the appropriate staff should review the results for accuracy, completeness and compliance with specifications. (see page 21) The appropriate signatures and dates in Part 9.0 will indicate acceptance.

20           RADIATION SAFETY NOTICE/RADIATION WARNING NOTICE

 

20.1        Safety Precautions for Use and 0peration of X-Ray Producing Equipment

 

X-ray producing equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and persons in the immediate vicinity unless safety precautions are strictly observed.

 

Exposure to excessive quantities of X-radiation may be injurious to health.  Therefore users should avoid exposing any parts of their persons, not only to the direct beam, but also to secondary or scattered radiation which occurs when a x-ray beam strikes or has passed through any material.

 

Human beings have no senses for x-rays.  Therefore x-ray-measuring instruments, like low energy x-ray Geiger counters, must be used to detect x-ray emission or leakage radiation.  No x-ray exposure to human beings is permitted unless proper personnel monitoring devices are employed.

 

The electrical circuits, although enclosed and interlocked for the protection of operators, must be considered as a potential source of hazard calling for strict observance of those portions of instructions pertaining to safety in operation and maintenance.  Proper electrical grounding must always be observed.

 

Consequently, adequate precautions should be taken to make it impossible for unauthorized or unqualified persons to operate this equipment or to expose themselves or others to its radiation or electrical dangers.

 

Before utilizing the equipment, all persons designated or authorized to operate it, or supervise its operation, should have a full understanding of its nature and should also become familiar with established safe exposure factors.

 

20.2        Operating Conditions

 

The maximum operating voltages and currents, or ranges of voltages or currents are set at or established by the factory and should not be altered except as provided for in this Company’s instructions.  By exceeding established limitations the effectiveness of the incorporated shielding may be reduced to a point where the penetrating or emergent radiation may exceed safe values.  If radiation shielding shows chemical or mechanical damage, service personnel should be notified immediately to prevent accidental radiation exposure.

 

20.3        Interlocks

 

Interlock switches should be built into all access doors of rooms.  These switches should under no circumstances be tampered with and should be maintained in proper operating condition.  In no case should they be defeated or wired out, since failure of automatic high voltage protection will then result.

 

20.4        Maintenance

 

All parts of the equipment, particularly interlock switches, should be carefully maintained for proper operation.  Doors should close sufficiently to prevent access before interlock switches close.  Tube operating voltage and current should be checked whenever service personnel operate the equipment.

 

20.5        Servicing Precaution

 

Before making any internal adjustments, the equipment shall be disconnected from the power supply to insure that no X-Ray emission can occur.  Care should be taken to assure that all high voltage condenser charges are removed using an insulated grounding lead, before personal contact is established.

 

20.6        Supervision

 

X-ray producing equipment should be used only under the guidance and supervision of a responsible qualified person. All equipment operators must be given adequate safety instructions as specified by the governing state regulations.

Section 7 of this document provides a step-by-step procedure for complete final factory test of the 3.5 MeV Industrial Linear Accelerator X-ray System.  It is assumed that complete system checks out, debug and calibration has been accomplished prior to the start of this test.

 

Although the test steps have been placed in logical sequence, it is not a requirement of this test to perform the test steps in that order.

 

All data must be entered in ink.  No erasures or “white-outs” are allowed. No writeovers are to be used when correcting errors. Entries may be lined out, initialed, and new data entered with appropriate explanation on the same page.

 

5.2                               Option List

 

The options included with each deliverable system shall be noted in the space provided in the Data Record. If no options provided write “NONE”.

 

5.3                               Acceptance

 

Upon completion of this data package, the appropriate staff should review the results for accuracy, completeness and compliance with specifications. (see page 21) The appropriate signatures and dates in Part 9.0 will indicate acceptance.

20           RADIATION SAFETY NOTICE/RADIATION WARNING NOTICE

 

20.1        Safety Precautions for Use and 0peration of X-Ray Producing Equipment

 

X-ray producing equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and persons in the immediate vicinity unless safety precautions are strictly observed.

 

Exposure to excessive quantities of X-radiation may be injurious to health.  Therefore users should avoid exposing any parts of their persons, not only to the direct beam, but also to secondary or scattered radiation which occurs when a x-ray beam strikes or has passed through any material.

 

Human beings have no senses for x-rays.  Therefore x-ray-measuring instruments, like low energy x-ray Geiger counters, must be used to detect x-ray emission or leakage radiation.  No x-ray exposure to human beings is permitted unless proper personnel monitoring devices are employed.

 

The electrical circuits, although enclosed and interlocked for the protection of operators, must be considered as a potential source of hazard calling for strict observance of those portions of instructions pertaining to safety in operation and maintenance.  Proper electrical grounding must always be observed.

 

Consequently, adequate precautions should be taken to make it impossible for unauthorized or unqualified persons to operate this equipment or to expose themselves or others to its radiation or electrical dangers.

 

Before utilizing the equipment, all persons designated or authorized to operate it, or supervise its operation, should have a full understanding of its nature and should also become familiar with established safe exposure factors.

 

20.2        Operating Conditions

 

The maximum operating voltages and currents, or ranges of voltages or currents are set at or established by the factory and should not be altered except as provided for in this Company’s instructions.  By exceeding established limitations the effectiveness of the incorporated shielding may be reduced to a point where the penetrating or emergent radiation may exceed safe values.  If radiation shielding shows chemical or mechanical damage, service personnel should be notified immediately to prevent accidental radiation exposure.

 

20.3        Interlocks

 

Interlock switches should be built into all access doors of rooms.  These switches should under no circumstances be tampered with and should be maintained in proper operating condition.  In no case should they be defeated or wired out, since failure of automatic high voltage protection will then result.

 

20.4        Maintenance

 

All parts of the equipment, particularly interlock switches, should be carefully maintained for proper operation.  Doors should close sufficiently to prevent access before interlock switches close.  Tube operating voltage and current should be checked whenever service personnel operate the equipment.

 

20.5        Servicing Precaution

 

Before making any internal adjustments, the equipment shall be disconnected from the power supply to insure that no X-Ray emission can occur.  Care should be taken to assure that all high voltage condenser charges are removed using an insulated grounding lead, before personal contact is established.

 

20.6        Supervision

 

X-ray producing equipment should be used only under the guidance and supervision of a responsible qualified person. All equipment operators must be given adequate safety instructions as specified by the governing state regulations.
