The Long Range Forecast shall be for planning purposes only. Buyer understands and acknowledges that Manufacturer will use the Mid-Range Forecast, among other things, to determine the amount of Inventory to purchase in advance of Purchase Orders. Such Inventory may include Long Lead, Minimum Buy, NCNR, and Safety Stock Inventory. The parties will review monthly Mid-Range Forecasts and mutually agree on the Long Lead, Minimum Buy, NCNR and Safety Stock Inventory to be acquired by Manufacturer pursuant to such Mid-Range Forecast. Buyer agrees that if any such Inventory purchased in advance of the Purchase Orders is not used for Buyer's Purchase Orders and cannot be returned or used on other orders within three (3) months (or as the parties may otherwise mutually and expressly agree), then Buyer shall purchase any such Inventory at Manufacturer's cost provided that Manufacturer can show that such Inventory was purchased to meet mutually agreed Long Lead, Minimum Buy, NCNR and/or Safety Stock Inventory requirements. In addition, Manufacturer shall be compensated for otherwise unrecoverable costs reasonably incurred by Manufacturer in reliance on the Mid-Range Forecast, including but not limited to, the cost of all NCNR Inventory or other unused Inventory specifically ordered for Buyer in Manufacturer's possession (plus Manufacturer's standard material handling fee not to exceed 8%), any vendor cancellation charges (including restocking fees), and any nonrecurring engineering or production costs provided that Manufacturer can show that such Inventory was purchased to meet mutually agreed Long Lead, Minimum Buy, NCNR and/or Safety Stock Inventory requirements.Manufacturer shall use reasonable commercial efforts to return unused Inventory specifically purchased for Buyer and to cancel pending orders with suppliers.

If the quantity actually ordered falls below the foregoing thresholds, then the Purchase Price for that Product going forward may be equitably adjusted to reflect the impact of Buyer's failure to purchase the estimated quantity as mutually agreed by both parties. The parties agree to negotiate such request in good faith. The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for each Product shall be as set forth on Exhibits D and E hereto.
