If Tesla requires an increase in the quantity of Items in any Order and such increase does not fall within the Quantity Adjustment Schedule set forth above, then, if feasible and as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, Supplier will provide such increased Items in accordance with the modified Order and Tesla shall pay actual increased costs actually incurred by Supplier, resulting therefrom, provided such costs are (i) reasonable; (ii) authorized by Tesla in writing in advance of Supplier's incurring such costs; and (iii) identified separately from the unit price on Supplier's invoice to Tesla.

(c) Reduction or Cancellation of an Order. If Tesla requires a reduction in the quantity of Items in any Order, or cancels any Order, the Parties' respective rights and obligations shall be as specified in Section 21 (Termination).

(d) Purchases by Authorized Third Party. Certain Items may be (i) incorporated into subassemblies, modules, or other products made for Tesla by a third party; or (ii) otherwise processed by a third party.

The Parties represent and warrant to each other that, as of the Effective Date, no applicable national or state (provincial) securities statute or regulation requires either Party to disclose this Agreement, its existence, or its terms and conditions,

Parties agree that the current pricing is based on approximately [***] vehicle sets in three (3) years as follows: [***] sets after the start of production ("SOP") on the first year, [***] sets on the second year, and [***] vehicle sets on the third year.

The Contract Price for each Item shall remain in effect throughout the Term, except for any changes mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing.

For those Items where Tesla pays such charges, pricing in a quotation or invoice or as set forth in Attachment 1 shall not include any transportation costs. For all other Items, all costs for shipping, import/export fees, customs, and other transportation expenses shall be separately identified and itemized by Supplier in each quotation or invoice or on Attachment 1.

(d) Taxes. Tesla will pay any applicable sales, use or similar tax imposed in connection with the sale of Items to Tesla; provided, that Supplier shall not charge or collect, and Tesla shall have no liability for, taxes on any sale of Items for which Tesla has provided Supplier with an appropriate direct pay permit, resale certificate or other documentation evidencing an exemption from such taxes. For all sales of Items upon which tax reimbursement to Supplier is applicable, Supplier shall separately itemize all applicable taxes on invoices submitted to Tesla. All amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) which will be paid at the date and in the manner for the time being prescribed by law.

The Supplier agrees that it shall complete a Tesla quotation analysis form upon request from Tesla.

(f) No increase in the Contract Price may be made (whether on account of increased cost of materials, labor or transport costs, other fixed or variable costs, fluctuation in exchange rates, pricing errors or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Tesla. For the avoidance of doubt, Parties will discuss the price changes when raw material cost changes more than five (5) percent than reflected in Attachment 1.

(g) Tesla and the Supplier shall work together to reduce the cost to the Supplier of producing the Items and to improve the Items in both manufacture and assembly. Parties agree to work towards improving the costs, according to mutually agreed annual cost targets, throughout the program by mutual cost reduction activities that include design, material, and manufacturing process and to meet at least on a quarterly basis to review the costs of Items. Parties agree, as of the Effective Date, the costs in the Attachment 1 are the pre-production estimates.

(i) In addition to either Party's rights under Section 2(b) and under Section 21(a), Tesla may terminate any Order in whole or in part at any time for Tesla's convenience by giving Supplier 30 days' prior written notice which shall state the extent of the termination and the conduct required of Supplier in connection therewith. Such a cancellation may be for any reason including a reduction in the quantity of an Items ordered under an Order. Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages incurred in connection with such termination. Within ninety (90) days from the date on which Supplier receives such notice, Supplier shall deliver to Tesla a written claim for all of Supplier's damages incurred in connection with the termination ("Termination Charges"), in the form and containing such documentation as required by Tesla. In no event, shall Termination Charges include any damages relating to Commercial Off-the-Shelf Items.

(ii) Failure by Supplier to deliver such claim for Termination Charges within this 90-day period shall constitute a waiver by Supplier of all claims against Tesla as to Termination Charges and a release of all Tesla's liability arising out of such termination.

(iii) If Tesla does not agree with the amount specified in Supplier's claim for Termination Charges, Tesla and Supplier will attempt to agree upon a reasonable amount for Termination Charges. If Tesla and Supplier fail to agree upon such an amount within six (6) months after receipt by Tesla of the claim for Termination Charges from Supplier, then the Termination Charges will be conclusively presumed to be the sum of the following as to Items for which the termination applies (provided that no costs shall be duplicated): (1) the unpaid Contract Price for all Items delivered to Tesla pursuant to the Order prior to the date of Tesla's termination; (2) the Contract Price for all Items ordered pursuant to the Order and completed in accordance with the Agreement but not delivered to Tesla prior to the date of termination, provided such Items are promptly delivered to Tesla; (3) the actual costs for work-in-process incurred by Supplier relating to Items ordered pursuant to the Order, less any costs related to

Tesla's obligation to pay costs pursuant to clauses (3) and (4) above shall be subject to Supplier's obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any such costs.

(iv) This Section 21(b) sets forth Supplier's sole remedies, and Tesla's entire liability to Supplier, in the event of a termination of an Order by Tesla for convenience, other than Supplier's remedy and Tesla's liability as set forth in Section 16.

third party, (collectively, a "Third Party IP Right"), except to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation was unavoidably caused by Supplier's compliance with a detailed design furnished and required by Tesla. The indemnity by Supplier in favor of Tesla shall extend to Tesla, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and shall include, and is intended to include, indemnified liabilities which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be the result of acts or omissions of Supplier as a joint tortfeasor. If Supplier is liable only as a joint tortfeasor, then Supplier's liability shall not extend to that portion of liability determined by the court to be the result of acts or omissions of Tesla. In addition to Supplier's obligations as to Indemnified Liabilities that arise under clause (v), Supplier shall, at Tesla's option (1) procure for Tesla and its customers the right to continue to use, sell and resell any affected Item, (2) with respect to a claim for infringement, modify the affected Items so that it is no longer infringing, or (3) replace any affected Items with a non-infringing good or service comparable to the affected Item. If none of these alternatives are possible, Tesla shall have the right to return or destroy, at Tesla's option, any affected Items for a full refund of the purchase price, plus applicable transportation costs.

(b) In the event of any such Indemnified Liabilities, Tesla shall (i) promptly notify Supplier; (ii) at Supplier's expense, reasonably cooperate with Supplier in the defense of such claim; and (iii) not settle any such Indemnified Liabilities without Supplier's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Supplier shall keep Tesla informed at all times as to the status of Supplier's efforts and consult with Tesla and/or its counsel regarding such efforts. Supplier shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of Tesla, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) This Section 23 sets forth the entire obligation of Supplier to Tesla and Tesla to Supplier as to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the actual or alleged misappropriation or infringement of any Third Party IP Right.
