(c) Termination for Default

  1. i) Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller, cancel all or part of this Agreement: (i) if Seller fails to deliver  the Goods within the time specified by this Agreement or any written extension; (ii) if Seller fails to perform any  other provision of this Agreement or fails to make progress, so as to endanger performance of this Agreement,  and, in either of these two circumstances, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Purchaser specifying  the failure, does not cure the failure or provide Purchaser with a written detailed plan adequate to cure the failure  if such failure reasonably cannot be cured within such ten (10) days and such plan is acceptable to Purchaser; or  (iii) in the event of Seller’s bankruptcy, suspension of business, insolvency, appointment of a receiver for Seller’s  property or business, or any assignment, reorganization or arrangement by Seller for the benefit of its creditors. 
  2. ii) Seller shall continue all work not canceled.

In addition, any payment for  Manufacturing Materials accepted by Purchaser and for the protection and preservation of property shall be at a  price determined in accordance with the “Termination for Convenience” Article of this Agreement, except that  Seller shall not be entitled to profit. Purchaser may withhold from any amount due under this Agreement any sum  Purchaser determines to be necessary to protect Purchaser or Purchaser’s customer against loss because of  outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders. 
  2. v) If, after cancellation, it is determined that Seller was not in default, the rights and remedies of the Parties  shall be as if the Agreement had been terminated according to the “Termination for Convenience” Article of this  Agreement. 

ARTICLE 6 -WARRANTY. Seller expressly warrants that all Goods furnished under the Order: (a) shall conform to  all specifications, drawings, descriptions, samples and standards provided by Seller to Purchaser, will be new, and will  be free from defects in material and workmanship, latent or patent; (b) shall be merchantable, and will be safe and  appropriate for the purpose for which goods of its kind are normally used; and (c) if Seller knows or has reason to know  the particular purpose for which Purchaser intends to use the Goods, shall be fit for such particular purpose. Seller  warrants that it has good and marketable title to the Goods and that all Goods are free from claims, inkling those of  infringement or the like, or liens or encumbrances of any third party. Inspection, testing, acceptance or use of, or  payment for, Goods or Services shall not affect Seller’s obligation under these warranties, and such warranties shall  survive inspection, testing, acceptance, use and payment. The warranties contained herein shall begin upon  Purchaser’s final acceptance of the Goods and shall extend for a period of three (3) years from the date of shipment  to Purchaser’s customer. The warranties herein shall run to Purchaser and its successors, assigns and customers. In  the event of any defect or nonconformance in the Goods, Purchaser may, at its option and at Seller’s expense: (i)  require prompt correction or replacement of the Goods, or (ii) return the Goods for credit or refund. Return to Seller of  defective or non-conforming Goods and redelivery to Purchaser of corrected or replaced Goods shall be at Seller’s  expense. Goods required to be corrected or replaced shall be subject to the requirements of this Agreement in the  same manner and to the same extent as Goods originally delivered under this Agreement, but only as to the corrected  or replaced part or parts thereof. Even if the Parties disagree about the existence of a breach of this warranty, Seller  shall promptly comply with Purchaser’s direction to: (i) repair, rework or replace the Goods, or (ii) furnish any materials  or parts and installation instructions required to successfully correct the defect or nonconformance. If Seller fails to  correct defects in or replace nonconforming Goods promptly, Purchaser may make such corrections or replace such  goods and charge Seller for the cost incurred by Purchaser in doing so. A breach of warranty shall be deemed to  accrue when the actual breach is discovered, not when the Goods are tendered. 

ARTICLE 7 – DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

(a) Arbitration. If a dispute arises under or relating to this Agreement in any way, the parties will endeavor to  resolve the dispute amicably, including by designating senior managers who will meet and use commercially  reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute. If the parties’ senior managers do not resolve the dispute  within sixty (60) days of first written request, either party may request that the dispute be settled and finally  determined by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the then-current  Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by one or more arbitrators appointed in  accordance with the applicable rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California, and any 

hearings shall take place at a mutually agreed location or as the arbitrator(s) order. The arbitrator(s) will have  no authority to award punitive damages, attorney’s fees and related costs or any other damages not measured  by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and applicable law. The award of the arbitrator(s) will be final, binding and not appealable to the greatest extent the law permits, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. All statements made or materials produced in connection with  this dispute resolution process and arbitration are confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party except  as required by law or subpoena. Except as specified in paragraph (c) below, the parties intend that the dispute resolution process set forth in this Article will be their exclusive remedy for any dispute arising under or relating  to this Agreement or its subject matter. Any claim against Purchaser shall be barred unless Seller has requested that it be resolved by arbitration in accordance with this Article within one year of the dispute, which shall be the  effective date of termination if the dispute is related to termination. 

(b) Exception. Either party may at any time, without inconsistency with paragraph (a) above, seek from a court of  competent jurisdiction any equitable, interim, or provisional relief to avoid irreparable harm or injury. Paragraph (a) above will not apply to and will not bar litigation regarding claims related to a party’s Proprietary Information  or Intellectual Property, nor will paragraph (a) above be construed to modify or displace the ability of the parties to effectuate any termination contemplated by this Agreement.
