The Written Notice will include the date on which the revisions will become effective.

4.09 Exceptions to Global Terms and Conditions

(a) General Requirements Any exception, deviation, amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Global Terms and Conditions or any General Purchase Order Document, whether made under an Earlier Agreement or otherwise, will be binding on the Buyer only if it has been: (1) made in a Written Notice; and (2) approved by the highest ranking purchasing executive of the Buyer (which, if the Buyer is Ford U.S., is its Vice President – Global Purchasing). If the Buyer is other than Ford U.S., the Buyer is required to first obtain a favorable written recommendation from the Ford Vice President – Global Purchasing. The Supplier may obtain written evidence of the recommendation from the Buyer.

5.03 Supplier Acceptance The contract is formed when the Supplier accepts the offer of the Buyer. This occurs upon the earlier of: (a) the Supplier beginning work or performance; or (b) the Supplier notifying the Buyer of its acceptance of the offer.

SECTION 6. QUANTITY

6.01 Requirements The Supplier will provide the Buyer’s requirements for the Goods or Tooling as shown on the Purchase Order. On a Production Purchase Order, the quantity is typically specified as a percentage of the Buyer’s requirements for the Goods. The Buyer will purchase this same quantity. The Buyer will issue Releases to specify the quantities needed, delivery locations, times and dates. Time and quantity are of the essence in the purchase of the Goods.

SECTION 7. VOLUME PROJECTIONS

7.01 Projections The Buyer may provide the Supplier with estimates, forecasts or projections of its future volume or quantity requirements for the Goods. These are Volume Projections. They are provided for informational purposes only. The Supplier and the Buyer may agree on a timeline over which Volume Projections will be provided.

7.02 No Commitment Volume Projections are not a commitment by the Buyer to purchase the quantities specified in the Volume Projections. The Buyer’s purchase obligation is only as specified in Section 6. The Supplier acknowledges that Volume Projections, like any other forward looking projections, are based on a number of economic and business factors, variables and assumptions, some or all of which may change over time, and may or may not be accurate at the time they were made or later on. The Buyer makes no representation, warranty, guaranty or commitment of any kind or nature, express or implied, regarding any Volume Projection.

SECTION 8. DURATION OF THE PRODUCTION PURCHASE ORDER

8.01 Initial Term The Initial Term of the contract begins on the Effective Date shown on the Production Purchase Order and expires on June 30th of the next calendar year. If, for example, a Production Purchase Order is issued on July 1, 2004, the Initial Term will end on June 30, 2005. Similarly, the Initial Term of a Production Purchase Order issued on January 1, 2004 will expire on June 30, 2005.

8.02 Renewal Term The Production Purchase Order will renew automatically on July 1st for an additional 12 months, ending on the next June 30th, unless a notice of non-renewal has been provided under Section 8.03. This is the Renewal Term. The Production Purchase Order will automatically be renewed each subsequent year for an additional Renewal Term of 12 months unless a notice of non-renewal has been provided under Section 8.03.

8.03 Non-renewal Either party may elect not to renew the Production Purchase Order by providing a Written Notice to the other party to that effect. The Buyer will provide its Written Notice by May 1st of the year in which the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable) is scheduled to expire. The Supplier will do so sufficiently in advance of the scheduled expiration date to enable the Buyer to resource the production of the Goods in a timely and orderly manner, but in no case later than May 1st of the year in which the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable) is scheduled to expire. In all cases, the Supplier will consult with the Buyer’s production purchasing activity prior to giving its Written Notice to ensure that it will be timely, and the parties will confirm in writing their agreement to

the Supplier’s Written Notice period. If the Supplier elects not to renew, it will, if requested by the Buyer: (a) work diligently with the Buyer to identify an alternative source of supply that is acceptable to the Buyer; and (b) identify the Supplier’s component-part and raw-material suppliers relating to the Goods.

8.04 Optional Extended Term

(a) The Buyer, at its option, may extend the term of the Production Purchase Order for up to 4 months beyond the scheduled June 30th expiration date of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable). This is the Extended Term. If the Extended Term is implemented, the Production Purchase Order will expire at the end of the Extended Term.

(b) The Buyer will provide the Supplier with Written Notice of any Extended Term on or before the June 1st before the Initial Term or Renewal Term is set to expire. The Written Notice will specify the Extended Term (up to 4 months) and include a Volume Projection of the Buyer’s needs. Prices in effect at the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term and all other terms and conditions will remain in effect during the Extended Term. If a transition period longer than the Extended Term is required, the Buyer and the Supplier will negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of any extension.

SECTION 9. CHANGES

9.01 Changes To Buyer’s Order The Buyer may make changes to its order for the Goods at any time, in accordance with the change processes set forth in the SOW, and such changes shall be effective upon written acceptance by Supplier. These may include changes to the design, specifications, engineering level, materials, packaging, shipping date, or time or place of delivery. The Supplier will make all changes requested by the Buyer. The Supplier may not make any change on its own without first obtaining the Buyer’s consent in a Written Notice. Any exceptions, deviations, amendments, or modifications to the Global Terms and Conditions must be made, if at all, under Section 4.09, not under this Section 9.01.

9.02 Notice The Buyer will provide the Supplier with notice of any change through an amendment or revision to the outstanding Purchase Order, the issuance of a new Production Purchase Order, an RFQ or a Written Notice. If the amendment is accomplished by issuing a new Production Purchase Order, the Initial Term of the original Production Purchase Order will apply. If the Initial Term has already expired, the Renewal Term in effect at the time of amendment will continue.

9.03 Impact on Cost The Supplier will promptly notify the Buyer in a Written Notice if the proposed change will affect cost or timing and provide substantiation of its claim. Buyer and Supplier will negotiate in good faith on an equitable price adjustment (up or down), a change in shipping or delivery terms, or other appropriate adjustment.

SECTION 10. PAYMENT TERMS AND TAXES

(b) In the event of any claims from third parties, Buyer will timely notify Supplier of the claim and turn control of defense over to Supplier. Supplier will have the right to consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, or otherwise settle such claim. Buyer will cooperate and assist Supplier in the defense or settlement of the claim as reasonably requested by Supplier and at Supplier’s expense. However, Supplier will have no such obligation to the extent that any claim is based upon (i) Buyer’s or its agents’ modification of or addition to the Deliverables or combination of the Deliverables with any other product that is not specified in this Agreement, or (ii) Buyer’s failure to obtain any third party licenses as required hereunder, or (iii) unmodified incorporation by Supplier of Buyer’s infringing design; or (iv) compliance by Supplier with instructions, design documentation and/or specifications provided by Buyer where a reasonable person would consider that such claim was specifically, directly, and primarily attributable to such instructions, design documentation and/or specifications. The exclusions from liability for Supplier under this Section 25.02(b) shall not apply for claims that arise solely out of Supplier’s implementation of Buyer’s instructions, design documentation and/or specifications, where such instructions, design documentation or specifications did not specify the mode, method and details of the implementation.

(c) If any Deliverable is held by a court or arbitration panel of competent jurisdiction to infringe and the use of said Deliverable is enjoined, or if Supplier believes that the Deliverable is likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement or to be enjoined, Supplier will have the option, at its expense, (i) to procure for Buyer the right to continue using the Deliverable, or (ii) to replace the Deliverable with non-infringing software (or hardware as the case may be), or (iii) to modify the Deliverable so it becomes non-infringing. All such replacements and/or modifications shall provide Buyer with not less than all of the pre-replacement and pre-modification functionality and reliability.

25.03 Apportionment of Litigation Costs Upon the filing of any third-party claim against an Indemnified Person that is subject to Section 25.02, the Supplier and the Buyer will, in good faith, attempt to reach agreement concerning whether, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 25.02, it is appropriate under the circumstances of the particular case to apportion Litigation Costs between the Supplier and the Buyer.

25.04 Factors to be Considered in Apportionment In determining whether and to what extent Litigation Costs should be apportioned between the Supplier and the Buyer under Section 25.03, all relevant factors should be considered, including the relative strength of the claim, whether the claimant alleges solely that the Indemnified Person is vicariously liable for the Supplier’s fault (or a defect in the Goods for which the Supplier is primarily responsible), and whether any independent fault alleged on the part of an Indemnified Person consists of a mere failure to discover or guard against the Supplier’s negligence or an alleged defect in the Goods. Absent an agreement on apportioning Litigation Costs, the terms of Section 25.02 will apply.

25.05 Work Performed on Premises If the Supplier performs any work on an Indemnified Person’s premises or utilizes the property of an Indemnified Person, whether on or off the Indemnified Person’s premises, the Supplier will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Persons harmless from and against any liability, claims, demands or expenses (including actual fees of attorneys and other professionals) for damages to the property of or injuries (including death) to Indemnified Persons, their employees or any other person arising from or in connection with the Supplier’s performance of work or use of the Indemnified Person’s property, except for such liability, claim, or demand arising out of the sole negligence of an Indemnified Person.

SECTION 26. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

26.01 Supplier Breach The Buyer may terminate a Purchase Order, in whole or in part, upon Written Notice to the Supplier if the Supplier fails to comply with any of the requirements of the Purchase Order. If the noncompliance relates to an obligation of the Supplier that is, in the opinion of the Buyer, capable of cure as described in Section 26.02, the Buyer may terminate under this Section 26.01 only if the Supplier has failed to either: (a) timely cure the noncompliance (as described in Section 26.02); or (b) provide the Buyer with adequate assurances of performance acceptable to the Buyer.

26.02 Cure Periods If the Supplier delivers Goods that fail to comply with the requirements of Section 14.01, the cure provisions of Section 14.03 will apply. For all other failures by the Supplier to comply with the requirements of the Purchase Order, the Supplier will have 10 days (or less if commercially reasonable under the circumstances) after the effective date (as described in Section 44.02) of the Buyer’s Written Notice to the Supplier specifying the failure by the Supplier within which to: (a) cure the nonperformance; or (b) provide adequate assurances of performance acceptable to the Buyer.

26.03 Change of Control The Buyer may terminate a Purchase Order, in whole or in part, upon Written Notice to the Supplier, if control of the Supplier changes such that the entity gaining control: (1) is or is controlled by a competitor of Buyer; or (2) is an entity that has materially breached a prior agreement with Buyer or that has been documented by Buyer as having performed poorly under a prior agreement with Buyer; (3) is already a supplier to Buyer with which Buyer has an agreement; or (4) is a competitor of a Supplier with which Buyer has a conflicting agreement. A change of control includes: (a) the sale, lease or exchange of a substantial portion of the Supplier’s assets used for the production of the Goods; (b) the sale or exchange of a controlling interest in the shares of the Supplier; or (c) the execution of a voting or other agreement of control. The Supplier will provide the Buyer with Written Notice of a change of control within 10 days after the change of control has become effective. The Buyer will have 60 days from the date the Written Notice from the Supplier is effective (as described in Section 44.02) within which to notify the Supplier of its decision to terminate the Purchase Order and the effective date of the termination, which will be no sooner than 30 days after the date the Written Notice of termination is effective (as described in Section 44.02).

26.04 Insolvency The Buyer may terminate a Purchase Order, in whole or in part, upon Written Notice to the Supplier, if the Supplier: (a) becomes insolvent; (b) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; (c) has an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against it; (d) has a receiver, administrator, custodian or trustee appointed over the Supplier or its assets; or (e) executes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. In each case, the Supplier is liable for all actual costs incurred by the Buyer, including those for attorneys, experts, consultants and other professionals.

26.05 Excusable Delay The Buyer may terminate a Purchase Order, in whole or in part, upon written Notice to the Supplier, as described in Section 40.05.

26.06 Effective Date of Termination Termination under Section 26.01, 26.04, or 26.05 will be effective on the date the Buyer’s Written Notice of termination is effective (as described in Section 44.02), unless the Written Notice specifies another date. Termination under Section 26.03 will be effective on the date specified in the Written Notice of termination.

(b) Any outstanding balance owed to the Supplier for Buyer-Owned Tooling that fully conforms to the requirements of the Production Tool Order; and

(c) Any outstanding balance for time spent or actual costs, subject to the limitation in Section 27.04, incurred for work-in-process and raw materials that are transferred to Buyer in accordance with Section 31.01(c) if applicable.

(d) Actual costs incurred by the Supplier in protecting the Buyer’s property pending delivery or return to the Buyer;

Such liability is limited to a maximum of thirty five million US dollars ($35,000,000)

26.10 Repeated Failures to Comply If the Buyer has determined, in accordance with Section 26.11, that the Supplier has repeatedly failed to comply with the requirements of Section 15.03, Section 34.17, Section 35.03, Section 36, or Section 37.01 or 37.02, the Buyer may, to the extent not prohibited by law, debit the Supplier for an amount not to exceed 15% of the aggregate price paid under all of the outstanding Purchase Orders with the Supplier that gave rise to the repeated failures.

SECTION 38. PROTECTION OF SUPPLY

38.01 Notice to the Buyer The Supplier will provide the Buyer with Written Notice (a) at least 30 days in advance of the expiration of any labor contract or (b) concerning any potential labor dispute involving the Supplier that could affect the Buyer’s operations or the supply of the Goods under the Production Purchase Order.

38.02 Plan to Avoid Disruption Upon the Buyer’s request, the Supplier will provide the Buyer with its plan to avoid adversely affecting the Buyer’s operations or to ensure that the Buyer’s requirements for the Goods will be met without disruption for at least a 30-day period after the expiration of the labor contract or the commencement of a labor dispute affecting the Supplier. The Supplier will keep the Buyer informed of any changes to the plan, its implementation and the Supplier’s efforts to resolve the labor dispute. The Buyer’s obligations to treat information provided by the Supplier under this Section 38.02 as confidential are described in Section 17.

SECTION 39. RESOLVING DISPUTES

39.01 Negotiation In the event of a dispute between the parties relating to the Purchase Order, the one raising the matter in dispute will notify the other in a Written Notice describing in sufficient detail the nature of the dispute. Each party will then appoint one or more representatives to resolve the dispute. These representatives will promptly meet and negotiate in good faith to reach a fair and equitable settlement. At the end of 60 days, if no settlement has been reached, either party may end discussions and declare an impasse.

39.02 Mediation If an impasse is declared under Section 39.01, the parties will participate in non-binding mediation by a third-party mediator in good faith. The parties will promptly agree on the mediator and the cost of the mediator will be shared equally. The mediator has 90 days from the date of appointment to help resolve the dispute.

39.03 Arbitration A party may request the other to participate in binding arbitration following the declaration of an impasse under Section 39.01 or the conclusion of mediation under Section 39.02. The request will be made in a Written Notice provided within 30 days following the end of the applicable resolution time period, and the other party must respond within 30 days after receipt of the request. Neither party is required to participate in any arbitration proceeding under this Section 39.03. If both agree to do so, they will participate in good faith and in accordance with applicable requirements of the Dispute Resolution Web-Guide.

39.04 Litigation If the dispute has not been resolved within 60 days after the end of the mediation period specified in Section 39.02, litigation may be initiated, unless the parties agree to arbitration under Section 39.03. In any litigation, the parties agree that the litigation will be filed only in the courts of the country in which the Buyer has its principal place of business, regardless of where the Supplier may be located or the Goods may have been designed, manufactured, sold or delivered, unless the applicable provisions of the Dispute Resolution Web-Guide provide otherwise.

39.05 Principal Place of Business in the U.S. If the principal place of business of the Buyer is in the United States, each party will, in any litigation brought under Section 39.04:

(a) Irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of: (1) the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division in Detroit, as to any claim or proceeding over which it may have jurisdiction; or, (2) the Circuit Court for the County of Oakland, Michigan (6th Circuit – Pontiac) as to all other claims or proceedings;

(b) Expressly waive any objection to venue or jurisdiction, including an objection based on the inconvenience of the forum; and

(c) Not seek or accept any award of punitive, exemplary or multiple damages other than a right to recover them under the indemnification provisions in Section 25.

39.06 Principal Place of Business Outside the U.S. If the principal place of business of the Buyer is outside of the United States, the applicable provisions of the Dispute Resolution Web-Guide may require binding arbitration in place of litigation, and will describe the jurisdiction and venue for any litigation. See the Dispute Resolution Web-Guide.

39.07 Governing Law The Purchase Order will be governed by the laws of the Buyer’s principal place of business without regard to any conflict of laws provisions that might otherwise apply. If the Buyer is located in the United States, its principal place of business will be deemed to be the state of Michigan. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

39.08 Effect on Buyer’s Rights The dispute resolution processes specified in Sections 39.01 through 39.04 are not preconditions to the exercise by the Buyer of any of its rights or remedies under the Purchase Order or applicable law, including its rights under Section 11 or Section 23. The Buyer’s exercise of its rights will not, however, affect either party’s obligations to comply with the requirements of this Section 39.

SECTION 40. EXCUSABLE DELAY

40.01 Excusable Events Neither the Buyer nor the Supplier will be liable for a delay or failure to perform directly due to an Excusable Event. An Excusable Event is a cause or event beyond the reasonable control of a party that is not attributable to its fault or negligence. Excusable Events include fire, flood, earthquake, and other extreme natural events, acts of God, riots, civil disorders, labor problems (including strikes, lockouts, and slowdowns regardless of their lawfulness), and war or acts of terrorism whether or not declared as such by a Government. In every case, other than those relating to labor problems, the failure to perform must be beyond the reasonable control, and not attributable to the fault or negligence, of the party claiming the Excusable Event. Excusable Events also include delays or nonperformance of a subcontractor, agent or supplier of a party only if and only to the extent that the cause or event would be an Excusable Event as defined in this Section 40.01. Excusable Events do not include the failure to comply with applicable law or to take actions reasonably necessary to schedule performance in anticipation of any customs, export-import, or other Government Requirement of which public notice has been given.

40.02 Notice of Excusable Event The party claiming an Excusable Event will provide the other party with Written Notice of its occurrence and its termination as soon as practicable.

40.03 Work-In-Process In the event of an Excusable Event, the Buyer, at its option, may acquire possession of all finished Goods, work-in-process, and raw materials produced or acquired for the work under the Purchase Order.

40.04 Right to Substitute and Reduce Quantity The Buyer reserves the right to acquire the Goods elsewhere for the duration of the Excusable Event and for a reasonable time afterwards to minimize production disruptions until the Supplier’s facilities are producing the Goods in the quantities required by the Purchase Order or Releases and to reduce accordingly any quantity of Goods ordered under an outstanding Release.

40.05 Right to Terminate The Buyer may terminate a Purchase Order, in whole or in part, upon written Notice to the Supplier if an Excusable Event has occurred resulting in a failure or delay to perform that has lasted for more than 3 consecutive months after the date the Written Notice from the party claiming an Excusable Event is effective (as described in Section 44.02).

SECTION 41. WAIVER OF NONPERFORMANCE

41.01 Waiver of Nonperformance A waiver of nonperformance under the Purchase Order must be in a Written Notice and will apply only to the specific instance addressed in the waiver and to no other past or future nonperformance.

SECTION 42. ASSIGNMENTS

42.01 Assignment of Payment by the Supplier The Supplier may assign its right to receive payment from the Buyer. The Supplier will provide the Buyer with reasonable advance Written Notice of any such assignment. The Buyer will use reasonable efforts to effect payment in accordance with the Supplier’s assignment. The Buyer will have no liability to the Supplier or the party to which the payment has been assigned if the Buyer sends payment to an incorrect party following an assignment.

42.02 Indemnification The Supplier will defend, indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless against any claim of non-payment by the assignee in the event the Buyer made payment to the Supplier after receipt of an assignment notice. Any assignment will not affect the validity or enforceability by the Buyer of any of its rights against the Supplier.

42.03 Assignment by the Buyer The Buyer may assign any benefit or duty under the Purchase Order upon Written Notice to the Supplier.

42.04 Assignment by the Supplier The Supplier may not assign or delegate any of its obligations without obtaining the Buyer’s prior written consent. The Supplier will continue to be liable to the Buyer for the performance of all of its obligations following any assignment or delegation, including one for which the Supplier has not obtained the consent of the Buyer as required by this Section 42.04. Any consent to an assignment does not include consent to any further assignment by the party to which the Supplier has made the assignment.

  VI. Assumptions and External Dependencies

In preparing the fee quote and planning the project schedule and Deliverables, BSQUARE is dependent upon schedules and deliverables that are beyond the control of BSQUARE. The assumptions and dependencies upon which the quote and schedule are based are documented here and include Project Delays, Specification Changes, Project Assumptions and Project Exclusions.

 

  A. Project Delays

The fee quoted to FORD for performance of the work under this Statement of Work assumes that all deliverables provided by FORD or any third-party contracted by FORD, including hardware, software, design documentation, and any written instructions, will be delivered to BSQUARE per the schedule in Section IV, Project Timeline Overview and will be complete, accurate, and fully functional. Work performed by BSQUARE that is affected by late, incomplete, inaccurate, or non-functional FORD deliverables as described in Section V, Project Activities and Deliverables may result in a day-for-day slip in the project schedule and/or may be subject to a Change of Scope (“COS”), as defined in Subsection E of this section.

If delays as described heretofore do occur, BSQUARE will make reasonable efforts to reassign the project team members to other areas of the project in order to keep the project on schedule. If BSQUARE is unable to do so, there will be a day-for-day slip in the project schedule and the provisions of Subsection E, Change of Scope, of this section shall apply.

Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this agreement. This agreement omits the information subject to the confidential treatment request. Omissions are designated as ***. A complete version of this agreement has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


  B. Specification Changes

Any changes or additions, including changes to the hardware and system requirements or to the Deliverables described in Section V, Project Activities and Deliverables shall be evaluated by BSQUARE on a case-by-case basis, and may be determined to be outside of the scope of this Statement of Work. In such case the provisions of Subsection E, Change of Scope, of this section shall apply.

 

  C. Project Assumptions

The fee quoted to FORD for performance of the work under this Statement of Work assumes that all of the following Assumptions will either occur or will be accurate, as stated below:

 

  i. General Assumptions

 

  1. The project price does not include any ***

 

  2. ***

 

  3. ***

 

  4. This estimate is based upon All 3rd party dependencies will be delivered in a timely matter in order for BSQUARE to complete the applications on schedule. These include documentation and defect remediation necessary to complete the applications.

 

  5. All final 3rd party software deliverables have been tested and are of production quality. BSQUARE will provide issue identification and triage to appropriate 3rd party during initial integration milestones.

 

  6. The travel estimate is a level of support anticipated on the project and is quoted at rates assuming a reasonable booking lead time. BSQUARE will make all reasonable efforts to minimize travel costs but market conditions, time and duration of travel may dramatically affect flight costs.

 

  ii. Hardware-Specific Assumptions

 

  1. None.

ADDENDUM A-4

Ford and BSQUARE have agreed to the following Rules of the Road.

 

1. Version 2.3 of this Statement of Work represents the agreed upon requirements and scope of work to be performed by BSQUARE under this project. The total project cost for the work performed under this SOW shall not exceed $***, which is the total cost from table 4 of Section X above, unless otherwise provided for as a result of items 1.a) through 1.c) or e) below in this Addendum A-4. This total project cost amount does not include materials/services (aka rebillables) which are above the total project cost amount and both parties agree that the rebillable amounts, currently estimated at $***, are not fixed. For clarity, the parties understand that the Ford Resident Staff amounts in the total project cost in Table 4 are being invoiced as rebillables.

 

  a) If Ford requests a change of scope beyond that agreed upon in SOW v2.3, Ford is responsible for the additional cost.

 

  b) If Ford misses, or is late with, a deliverable, or the deliverable is not of sufficient quality, and any of these conditions cause BSQUARE to expend extra effort, Ford is responsible for the additional cost.

 

  c)

If a 3rd party misses, or is late with, a deliverable, or the deliverable is not of sufficient quality, and any of these conditions cause BSQUARE to expend extra effort, Ford will be responsible for the extra cost to BSQUARE. BSQUARE will assist Ford in identifying the root cause such that Ford may pursue the 3rd party for the overruns

 

  d) If BSQUARE asks for a change of scope due to a BSQUARE error or omission, Ford will not be responsible for any increase in BSQUARE hours.

 

  e) In the event the root cause for the error or omission identified in 1.d) above, is the result of an error or omission by any party other than BSQUARE (i.e. Ford’s or a third party’s), BSQUARE will be reimbursed for all hours expended or engaged to remedy the issue or discover the root cause.

 

2. BSQUARE will be responsible for increases in project hours assumed in SOW v2.3 that are not due to the items identified in sections 1.a) through 1.c) or 1.e) above (i.e. if BSQUARE misestimated a task in SOW v2.3 that ends up taking longer than anticipated and the overrun wasn’t caused by Ford or a third-party, BSQUARE will not bill Ford for the additional hours incurred).

 

3. If a scope change is identified resulting from Items 1.a) through 1.c) and Item 1.e), regardless of whether BSQUARE has previously performed work, the parties will enter into a Change of Scope (COS) to identify the tasks involved in the COS. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, COS shall be invoiced by BSQUARE on a fixed price basis. Each individual COS shall contain a separate line item for materials/rebillables and one for labor costs. If the COS is approved by Ford, Buyer will issue a P.O.

Ford and BSQUARE also agree that the table below includes, to the best of both parties’ knowledge, all of the remaining Ford and third party deliverables and other dependencies relevant to BSQUARE’s work hereunder, as of the date of this SOW. This schedule does not include items already delivered to BSQUARE as of the date of this SOW, nor does it include any additional items that may be required as a result of a Change of Scope. BSQUARE shall not be responsible for any delays, costs, or damages associated with any deviations or failures by Ford and/or a third party to meet the requirements of the table below. If BSQUARE causes any delay resulting in increased costs, BSQUARE’s responsibility for such costs shall be in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

II. Project Description

SYNC is a voice-activated hands-free, in-car communications and entertainment system that integrates user’s mobile phone and digital media player into the vehicle cabin. Ford and Microsoft worked closely to design and engineer Ford’s SYNC ***, which is based on state-of-the art Microsoft Auto software. Ford further developed and customized this technology to deliver in-car solutions that help drivers conveniently and reliably enjoy digital entertainment and communications while on the road. With the introduction of SYNC, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury are proud to be the first and only automotive brands to market this product in North America.

VI. Assumptions and External Dependencies

In preparing the fee quote and planning the project schedule and Deliverables, BSQUARE is dependent upon schedules and deliverables that are beyond the control of BSQUARE. The assumptions and dependencies upon which the quote and schedule are based are documented here and include Project Delays, Specification Changes, Project Assumptions and Project Exclusions.

 

  A. Project Delays

The fee quoted to FORD for performance of the work under this Statement of Work assumes that all deliverables provided by FORD or any third-party contracted by FORD, including hardware, software, design documentation, and any written instructions, will be delivered to BSQUARE per the schedule in Section IV, Project Timeline Overview and will be complete, accurate, and fully functional. Work performed by BSQUARE that is affected by late, incomplete, inaccurate, or non-functional FORD deliverables as described in Section V, Project Activities and Deliverables may result in a day-for-day slip in the project schedule and/or may be subject to a Change of Scope (“COS”), as defined in Subsection E of this section.

If delays as described heretofore do occur, BSQUARE will make reasonable efforts to reassign the project team members to other areas of the project in order to keep the project on schedule. If BSQUARE is unable to do so, there will be a day-for-day slip in the project schedule and the provisions of Subsection E, Change of Scope, of this section shall apply.

 

  B. Specification Changes

Reference Ford *** Engineering Specification.

Any changes or additions, including changes to the hardware and system requirements or to the Deliverables described in Section V, Project Activities and Deliverables shall be evaluated by BSQUARE on a case-by-case basis, and may be determined to be outside of the scope of this Statement of Work. In such case the provisions of Subsection E, Change of Scope, of this section shall apply.

ADDENDUM A-4

Ford and BSQUARE have agreed to the following Rules of the Road.

 

1. Version 2.3 of this Statement of Work represents the agreed upon requirements and scope of work to be performed by BSQUARE under this project. The total project cost for the work performed under this SOW shall not exceed $***, which is the total cost from table 4 of Section X above, unless otherwise provided for as a result of items 1.a) through 1.c) or e) below in this Addendum A-4. This total project cost amount does not include materials/services (aka rebillables) which are above the total project cost amount and both parties agree that the rebillable amounts, currently estimated at $***, are not fixed. For clarity, the parties understand that the EOL Text Fixture amounts in the total project cost in Table 4 are being invoiced as rebillables.

 

  a) If Ford requests a change of scope beyond that agreed upon in SOW v2.3, Ford is responsible for the additional cost.

 

  b) If Ford misses, or is late with, a deliverable, or the deliverable is not of sufficient quality, and any of these conditions cause BSQUARE to expend extra effort, Ford is responsible for the additional cost.

 

  c)

If a 3rd party misses, or is late with, a deliverable, or the deliverable is not of sufficient quality, and any of these conditions cause BSQUARE to expend extra effort, Ford will be responsible for the extra cost to BSQUARE. BSQUARE will assist Ford in identifying the root cause such that Ford may pursue the 3rd party for the overruns

 

  d) If BSQUARE asks for a change of scope due to a BSQUARE error or omission, Ford will not be responsible for any increase in BSQUARE hours.

 

  e) In the event the root cause for the error or omission identified in 1.d) above, is the result of an error or omission by any party other than BSQUARE (i.e. Ford’s or a third party’s), BSQUARE will be reimbursed for all hours expended or engaged to remedy the issue or discover the root cause.

 

2. BSQUARE will be responsible for increases in project hours assumed in SOW v2.3 that are not due to the items identified in sections 1.a) through 1.c) or 1.e) above (i.e. if BSQUARE misestimated a task in SOW v2.3 that ends up taking longer than anticipated and the overrun wasn’t caused by Ford or a third-party, BSQUARE will not bill Ford for the additional hours incurred).

 

3. If a scope change is identified resulting from Items 1.a) through 1.c) and Item 1.e), regardless of whether BSQUARE has previously performed work, the parties will enter into a Change of Scope (COS) to identify the tasks involved in the COS. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, COS shall be invoiced by BSQUARE on a fixed price basis. Each individual COS shall contain a separate line item for materials/rebillables and one for labor costs. If the COS is approved by Ford, Buyer will issue a P.O.

Ford and BSQUARE also agree that the table below includes, to the best of both parties’ knowledge, all of the remaining Ford and third party deliverables and other dependencies relevant to BSQUARE’s work hereunder, as of the date of this SOW. This schedule does not include items already delivered to BSQUARE as of the date of this SOW, nor does it include any additional items that may be required as a result of a Change of Scope. BSQUARE shall not be responsible for any delays, costs, or damages associated with any deviations or failures by Ford and/or a third party to meet the requirements of the table below. If BSQUARE causes any delay resulting in increased costs, BSQUARE’s responsibility for such costs shall be in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
