Once total payment is received, the tooling will remain the exclusive property of ICOP and will not be used for any purpose other than manufacturing WMIC 20/20 units for delivery to ICOP. Tooling quotes will be provided as soon as possible after design details are fixed and prior to actual tooling start. It is anticipated that the total tooling charges would not exceed USD [*] and that the tooling will be sufficient to produce a minimum of [*] complete units at acceptable quality levels. A tooling maintenance charge will be invoiced in any year that the volume of product orders falls below [*] units. The tooling charges are immediately due upon invoice and will be invoiced within the product development schedule as follows:
A). First 30% invoiced upon approval of tooling drawings to start tool making.
b). Second 30% invoiced upon presentation of first shot samples to ICOP.
c). Balance of 40% invoiced upon ICOP approval of parts for starting production.

Purchase order lead time is 75 days to shipment (from Hong Kong/China) after the product is production ready. Payment terms for finished products are NET 30 days from shipment and all payments are made via wire-transfer to TriSquare’s bank account in Hong Kong. A rolling six-month forecast (updated monthly) is requested from ICOP to facilitate planning for long lead time materials.
4). Product Development Schedule
The major milestone product development schedule is attached as Exhibit B and C. The Exhibit B schedule is the best case and target scenario. The Exhibit C schedule represents a back-up plan that comes into play if there is any reason that the first factory test build (GA1) does not result in saleable product that can be delivered to ICOP. Only if the first build (GA1) is unsuccessful, a second factory test build (GA2) will be undertaken as shown in Exhibit C. TriSquare will need to be granted timely access to a complete ICOP DVR system that represents final interface software and hardware starting in two weeks and continuing until after the GA1 build to ensure for complete product functional verification.
