         in conflict with any rule of law or statutory provision or otherwise
         unenforceable under the laws or regulations of any government or
         subdivision thereof, such terms shall be deemed stricken from this
         Agreement, but such invalidity or unenforceability of any such

         unenforceable provisions comprise an integral part of, or otherwise
         inseparable from, the remainder of this Agreement.

         counterparts in the English language, each of which shall be deemed an
         original, but all of which shall constitute (1) one and the same
         instrument.

16.10    Remedies Cumulative. Each of the right and remedies of the parties set
         forth in this Agreement shall be cumulative with all other rights and
         remedies, as well as with all rights and remedies of the partied hereto
         otherwise available at law or in equity.

         harmless from and against any and all costs including reasonable

         cause of action brought by any third person or part against it which,

EXHIBIT II

Quality Requirements and Acceptance Criteria

The Buyers engineering specifications and engineering drawing requirements take
precedence over other requirements communicated to the Seller, whether such
requirements are verbal or written, except where a Deviation From Specification
(DFS) is approved and issued to the Seller by the Buyer.

                                       11
<PAGE>

The Seller shall review pre-production, prototype, first-piece, sample, or other
initial part or product, with the Buyer. This review shall include
representative samples, process data, and inspection and test data, for the
purpose of determining if the part or product meets the Buyers engineering
specifications and engineering drawing requirements, as well as safety and other
regulatory requirements specific to the part or product supplied.

Either Seller or Buyer may initiate a DFS where there is a realized need to
depart from requirements documented within the Buyers engineering specifications
or engineering drawings.

The Seller shall review known part or product deficiencies with the Buyer prior
to shipping the part or product to the Buyer. In some instances, Buyer may
approve a DFS to allow the Seller to produce deficient parts or products for a
limited period of time, or to ship a limited quantity of parts or products
exhibiting a known deficiency.

Seller disputes concerning requirements, or whether part or product meets the
Buyers engineering specifications or engineering drawing requirements, shall be
reviewed and mediated by the Buyers representatives from the Quality Control,
Manufacturing Engineering, R&D, and Supply Chain Management departments.

The Seller shall install appropriate controls and methods to ensure the part or
product supplied meets the Buyers engineering specifications and engineering
drawing requirements upon final delivery to the Buyer. Seller controls shall be
considered for, but not limited to, operations within raw material receiving,
work-in-process, finished goods, packaging, and shipping.

Buyer may, at any point, reject part or product that does not meet the Buyers
engineering specifications, engineering drawing requirements, or deviated
requirements (per an approved and issued DFS). This shall include at the
receiving, storage, value-added operations, packaging, shipping, or customer
service stages of Buyer's use, and/or sale of the supplied part or product.

Rejected part or product shall be reviewed by the Buyer with the Seller for the
purpose of making a disposition of the part or product. The Seller shall have
the opportunity to review rejected part or product, and to dispute the
determination of rejection.

Where a rejection is found to be valid, the Seller shall perform an analysis of
the part, product, process, or other element within the Seller's scope of
operations, as necessary, and issue a report of corrective action to the Buyer.

The Seller shall allow buyer representatives to discuss, review, inspect,
measure, test, or otherwise evaluate part or product issues with Seller
representatives within the Seller's manufacturing facility(ies), at a Buyer's
facility, or at a mutually agreed upon location. Upon suitable notification to
the Seller, Buyer shall be allowed to verify compliance with this agreement, and
to perform on-site audits of the Seller's

                                       12
<PAGE>


manufacturing processes related to part or product as specified and purchased by
the Buyer.

Seller efforts to improve, cost-reduce, boost efficiencies, or otherwise change
the part, product, or the process originally agreed to, shall be reviewed in
advance with the Buyer, whether or not this activity has any affect or influence
on the part or product meeting the Buyer's engineering specifications or
engineering drawing requirements.

The Seller shall review plans to subcontract to another corporate entity, any
part or product the Buyer has contracted with the Seller to supply. This review
shall be completed prior to any such subcontracting, and shall include the
review and approval by the buyer of the Seller's quality plan for the
subcontracted part or product. In some instances, Buyer will require first piece
samples, including inspection and test data, from the subcontractor prior to
approval of part or product manufactured by the subcontractor. In any event, the
Seller shall remain fully and completely responsible for supplying the part or
product to the Buyer's engineering specification and engineering drawing
requirements.

All air chamber testing shall be in accordance with Select Comfort's Air
Chamber, Rubber/Cotton Vulcanized Construction, Test and Inspection
Specification SP-004.

QUALITY DISCOUNT PERCENTAGE: as of February 2002 is XXX and shall remain in
effect as outlined in Article 8.
