Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 22, 2014, iRobot Corporation (the “Company”) and Kin Yat Industrial Company Limited (“Kin Yat”) entered into a non-exclusive Manufacturing Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), under which Kin Yat will from time to time provide certain services to the Company, including the manufacture, testing and supply of certain of the Company’s home robots products pursuant to purchase orders issued under the Agreement. The Agreement, the terms of which are retroactively effective as of September 23, 2013, details the supply relationship between the Company and Kin Yat, including terms related to order fulfillment and forecasting, pricing, payments and acceptance, quality control, warranties, delivery, intellectual property, indemnification and limitation of liability. Each purchase order will identify the applicable products being manufactured and supplied by Kin Yat and specify the related quantities, delivery terms, prices and other customary terms. During the term of the agreement and for a period of 18 months thereafter, Kin Yat will not, without the Company’s written consent, manufacture products that are competitive with any of the products manufactured and assembled by Kin Yat on behalf of the Company under the Agreement. The Agreement has an initial term of two years from the production start date under the Agreement, which was September 23, 2013. The Agreement automatically renews for successive two-year terms, unless the Company (at any time) or Kin Yat (after the first renewal term) provides specified advance written notice of its intent to terminate the Agreement. The parties have the right to terminate the Agreement if the other party becomes insolvent or commits an uncured material breach of the Agreement.
