NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations of each of the parties set forth in this Statement of Work # 3, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase Order. By executing this Statement of Work # 3 Ford agrees to issue a purchase order for the FCC in accordance with the Fees and Terms in Attachment A of this Statement of Work # 3, which is incorporated herein by this reference and to pay the fees invoiced by Bsquare in accordance with this Statement of Work # 3.

  d. Immediately following the Acceptance (as defined in Amendment # 1), Section 22 of the GTC’s is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

SECTION 22. WARRANTY

Supplier Warrants that the work performed under this Statement of Work #3 shall be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner and that the Goods delivered under this Statement of Work #3 will substantially conform to accepted quality standards in the software industry. Buyer’s sole remedy for a failure of Supplier’s warranty obligation is for Supplier to repair or replace. ‘Repair or replace’ means as the case may be, creating and delivering a software update or patch if related to software, re-doing work if related to services, or replacement of hardware if related to hardware and includes paying for the actual costs of re-manufacture, re-distribution, or re-installation as applicable, whether incurred by Supplier or by Buyer.

Such liability is limited to a maximum of eleven million US dollars ($11,000,000).

 

  g. Section 27 is deleted in its entirety and any additional termination rights not specified in Section 26 shall be delineated in Attachment A of this Statement of Work # 3.

4. Other Terms. All other terms and conditions of the GTC are unchanged and remain in full force and effect. In case of a conflict, the terms of this Statement of Work # 3 (including its attachments and amendments) will control and prevail over those contained in the GTC.

  2. FCC Terms

 

  a) Buyer is committed to fund and pay for the FCC 1 Year Core Team individuals as provided in Table A above (a minimum of 20 individuals) for a period of one year and the FCC 90 Day Transition Team individuals as provided in Table B above (a minimum of 15 individuals) for a period of 90 days. For clarity, Buyer is committing to pay for each individual for the specified period of time. If an FCC resource is removed from the program by Buyer because of termination or other reasons, and a suitable replacement cannot be found and approved by Buyer, Buyer’s commitment shall be reduced by that headcount(s). Buyer acknowledges, that to the extent an FCC resource is made available to it, that it is obligated to pay the fees associated with the resources in Tables A and B for either one (1) year in the case of Table A resources and 90 days in the case of Table B resources regardless of whether Buyer is requesting these resources to perform work on Buyer’s programs;

 

  b) Commencing on the Effective Date, all FCC personnel shall be deployed to remedy the Sev 1-2 Bugs (as defined in Amendment # 1). If all Sev 1-2 Bugs are not remediated on or prior to June 28, 2010, Buyer shall not be responsible for FCC personnel working on Sev 1-2 Bugs under this Statement of Work #3 from the Effective Date until Acceptance (as defined in Amendment #1). In such event, the term of this Statement of Work # 3 for the affected individuals shall be extended for a length of time equal to the time between June 28, 2010 and the Acceptance date. FCC personnel requested by Buyer to work on non – Sev 1-2 Bugs shall be billable under this Statement of Work 3;

 

  c)

Buyer will pre-pay an amount approximating the costs and expenses for the first six (6) months of the FCC program, in advance. This pre-payment amount shall be $3,000,000. Buyer shall issue a Purchase Order and pay this amount on or before June 30, 2010. Supplier shall provide Buyer with a monthly statement showing a reconciliation of the prepaid amount against un-invoiced charges. Once the prepaid amount has been exceeded, further fees and expenses due under the FCC shall be invoiced monthly. The fees for the resources specified in Table A shall be invoiced at 1/12th of the Annual Rate Total specified above. The fees for the resources specified in Table B shall be invoiced at 1/3rd of the 90 Day Rate Total specified above. Fees for partial months shall be prorated based on total calendar days in the month;

 

  d) Buyer acknowledges that the Annual Rate Total and 90 Day Rate Total are inclusive of time spent by engineering resources on activities other than Buyer’s programs, up to and including paid-time off, Supplier-related company meetings etc. provided that if overall utilization (i.e. time charged to Buyer’s programs as evidenced by Supplier’s time-keeping records as measured by the time charged divided by total available hours in the period excluding weekends) falls below 80%, Buyer will receive a credit for every hour below the 80% utilization level using the FCC Hourly Rate. For purposes of this section, the utilization calculation shall be performed on a quarterly basis beginning with the week ending on the first Friday of the calendar quarter and ending on the last Friday of the calendar quarter. Further, the calculation shall be aggregated to include all resources assigned to Buyer’s programs under this Amendment #2. Buyer further acknowledges that if program resources aren’t being utilized on Buyer’s programs (i.e. there is downtime on the program, by election of Buyer), the time spent by program resources on other activities shall be included in the utilization calculation as Buyer project time;

 

  e) Buyer may request additional personnel and Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to add the requested personnel within the time period specified by Buyer. Buyer will specify whether additional resources will be considered Table A (1 year commitment) or Table B (90 day commitment) resources. For convenience, Buyer’s commitment for these additional resources shall be only the time remaining on the original commitment under this Amendment #2. Example, if on July 11, 2010, Buyer adds an engineering resource under Table B, Buyer’s remaining firm commitment on that resource shall be two calendar months. Buyer will pay the rates agreed to in the Tables above for all additional personnel;

 

  f) Buyer approves all Supplier resources assigned to the FCC;

  p) Supplier will inform Buyer in writing of a Resource’s request for PTO (for non-emergency use) or training time off 30 days in advance of scheduled time-off provided that PTO previously approved by Supplier prior to the start date of the FCC does not require approval by Buyer. Buyer will not withhold approval without good cause. Conflicts between Supplier and Buyer’s representatives will be escalated to those representative’s managers. Infrequent Supplier Company meetings and Supplier’s annual holiday schedule do not require approval by Buyer. Note: PTO has been previously approved by Supplier for certain FCC Resources prior to the start date of the FCC that must be honored;

 

  q) Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform Buyer within 30 days (for 1-year FCC) and 14 days (for 90 day FCC) of personnel changes to the FCC team, including removal of previously assigned FCC resources.

  s) The Supplier may terminate or stop work under the FCC if Buyer fails to make payments when due and fails to remedy such non-payment within 45 days of receipt of written notice of such failure, during which time, Supplier will participate in good faith in all dispute resolution and governance processes defined in the GTC. If Buyer fails to pay any amount due within 45 days of receipt of written notice of such failure, Supplier may then terminate or stop work under the FCC if any future payment is not made within 10 days of receipt of written notice of a failure to pay.
