Preamble

 

This contract (the “Contract”) is concluded, by and between Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems Schweiz AG, a Swiss company having its principal place of business at Niederhasli, Switzer-land (“KB”) and Rail Vision Ltd., an Israeli company, having its principal place of business at 15 Ha’Tidhar Str., Ra’anana, Israel (“RV”) in connection with an agreement between Schweizerische Bundesbahnen SBB Cargo AG, a Swiss company having its principal place of business at Olten, Switzerland (“SBB Cargo”) and KB.

 

SBB Cargo as the leading rail freight company in Switzerland is engaged in a program to optimize its shunting processes. In this context, SBB Cargo, after conducting a successful field pilot trial in SBB Cargo’s premises for RV proprietary Assisted Remote Shunting (ARS) for use in switchyard operations (the “System”), which is interfacing with the Remote Control of SEAG, SBB decided to order a fully functional combined prototype System. It is clarified that the re-mote control of Schweizer Electronic (“SEAG”) for locomotive Eem923 as specified in Annex C which SBB Cargo decided to engage with SEAG for its provision, is not part of RV’s System.

 

The System is a driver assistance system intended to alert from potentially dangerous situations. It does not guarantee full accuracy in detection of, or provision of warnings against, such situations. Accordingly, one should not rely on the Systems as replacement to assure driving safety - it does not replace drivers in any way, nor does it substitute the safety practices, full concentration and due caution drivers should carefully maintain, and does not decrease to any extent their need to stay vigilant and cautious. The afore mentioned does not release RV of the responsibility for the homologation for the RV system (planned SIL 0) and from the fulfillment of the commonly agreed specification (Annex C for prototype, Annex for the roll-out to be defined by the Parties).

 

After delivery of the prototype System, and meeting the criteria specified in Pos. 4.1. below, SBB Cargo will place an order for 30 Systems.

 

As an option, additional 45 Systems can be ordered by SBB Cargo after a successful implementation of the initial 30 Systems into operation, subject to the terms hereof.

 

Whereas In its agreement with SBB Cargo, KB acts as system integrator and contracting partner, assuming financial liabilities towards SBB Cargo. KB will provide what is needed according to such agreement, including local issues such as (a) contact and language (b) facilities (c) specific local homologation (d) customs and tax consulting (e) technical customer warranty, service and support with involvement and backing of RV and (f) customer management.

 

Whereas RV as a technology provider has deep knowledge about cognitive vision and safety systems for the railway industry and agrees to deliver the functional prototype and the 30, plus 45 optional, Systems including spare parts via KB to SBB Cargo, subject to the terms hereof. RV will assume technical responsibility for the System and will provide the necessary technical support and training for the System through the project-life cycle towards KB in its agreement with SBB Cargo - all as set forth and subject to the terms herein.

 

Whereas the Parties wish to record the understandings between them regarding the System delivery, all as further detailed herein.
