STATEMENT OF WORK NUMBER ONE
to the
PREFERRED PRICE AND CAPACITY LICENSE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT No. 1 (“Amendment”) is entered into as of February 25, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Dell Global B.V. (Singapore Branch), the Singapore branch of a company incorporated in The Netherlands with limited liability on behalf of itself, Dell Inc. and Dell Inc.’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, “Dell”), and Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company” or “UniPixel”), and amends, modifies and supplements the Statement of Work Number One to the Preferred Price and Capacity License Agreement (“SOW”) previously entered into by the parties effective as of November 9, 2012 only as expressly stated herein. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the SOW.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby amend the SOW as provided below:
|
1.
|
The parties have agreed not to proceed with Phase 2 and Phase 3, each as outlined in Section 2 (“Detailed Task Description”) of the SOW and the termination of exclusivity provision for notebook computers outlined in Section 7.
|
|
2.
|
In Section 4 (“Payments”) of the SOW, the PHASE 2 and PHASE 3 payment obligations are hereby deleted. UniPixel acknowledges and agrees that it previously received the $5 million PHASE 1 payment from Dell in full satisfaction of all of Dell’s payment obligations under the SOW.
|
|
3.
|
Subject to UniPixel satisfying all Dell product specifications, Dell or Dell’s designated integrator will provide a “Conditional Purchase Order” for at least 1,000 Metal Mesh Sensors to be delivered no later than June 30, 2014, for the purpose of evaluation by Dell and the potential addition of UniPixel to the Dell Approved Vendor List (AVL). The terms of the “Conditional Purchase Order” shall include approval for UniPixel to deliver Metal Mesh Sensors prior to final mass production process approvals by Dell, but the Metal Mesh Sensors must meet all Dell product specifications and must be fully functional. Upon its receipt of these conforming Metal Mesh Sensors, Dell will use its commercially reasonable efforts to support a quick cycle qualification of the UniPixel Metal Mesh Sensor for the Dell Midland or another applicable platform, as well as supporting UniPixel’s engagement with Dell’s designated Module integrator.
