| 14. | Reservation of Title - Provision - Tools - Non-Disclosure |
|---|---|
| 14.1 | If the CUSTOMER provides parts to the SUPPLIER, the CUSTOMER will maintain the title to such parts. The processing or conversion by the SUPPLIER is made on behalf of the CUSTOMER.

| 14.2 | If the item provided by the CUSTOMER is blended inseparably with objects not belonging to the CUSTOMER, the CUSTOMER will acquire the co-ownership to the new item in the proportion of the value of the item under reservation (purchase price plus VAT) to the other blended objects at the time of blending.

| 14.4 | The CUSTOMER may request the surrender of tools the SUPPLIER manufactures specifically or procures from third parties for the manufacture of the products ordered by the CUSTOMER, particularly in case of disruption of supply. In such a case, the CUSTOMER has the additional right to reimburse the SUPPLIER for the not yet amortised portion of the tool costs. In this event, the CUSTOMER will acquire the unrestricted title to the tools by way of such reimbursement; however, if the tools remain with the SUPPLIER in this case too, the SUPPLIER may keep the tools as a loan instead of delivering them to the CUSTOMER. The SUPPLIER commits itself to scrap the tools it uses or used for the manufacture of products for the CUSTOMER only upon the prior written consent of the CUSTOMER. In any other respect, the provisions in section 14.3 of these Terms and Conditions of Purchase shall apply. |
| 14.5 | The SUPPLIER shall keep strictly secret all the illustrations, drawings, calculations and other documents and information received. They must not be disclosed to any third party, unless with the CUSTOMER’s express consent. The obligation of non-disclosure shall also apply after the end of this contract and shall cease only once and to the extent in which the manufacturing expertise contained in the provided illustrations, drawings, calculations and other documents has become part of the public domain. |
| 14.6 | If the security interests due to the CUSTOMER pursuant to paragraphs 1 and/or 2 above exceed the purchase price for all the goods under reservation not paid yet to the CUSTOMER by more than 20%, the CUSTOMER shall release the security interests at its option on the SUPPLIER’s request. |
| 15. | Spare Parts |
|---|---|
| Unless agreed otherwise, the SUPPLIER shall hold available spare parts for the products delivered to the CUSTOMER for a period of 15 years after the delivery or serial delivery, respectively, and deliver them to the CUSTOMER at usual market terms.

| 16.2 | The supplier is aware of the fact that the customer uses the delivered products (materials, mixtures, components) especially for the manufacture of electronic components, modules and products. The supplier warrants that it will fully comply with the following provisions pursuant to sub-sections 16.2.1 through 16.2.6: |
| 16.2.1 | The supplier commits itself to meet all the relevant regulations provided by product law and environmental law as well as standards applicable under such laws (e.g. DIN EN IEC 63000 for the determination of the technical documentation to declare the compliance with applicable substance restrictions) applicable within the EU, which refer to the contractual products as amended at the time of passing of the risk. Such regulations include, without limitation, the Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH Regulation) and the Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP Regulation).

If the supplier believes that a legally permitted use of substances according to Annex XIV cannot be avoided, the supplier shall inform the customer thereof immediately; any delivery shall be permitted only with the customer’s consent. Moreover, the supplier commits itself not to deliver any products exceeding the concentration values listed in Annex II of the RoHS Directive based on their homogeneous materials as applicable from time to time and in respect of which no exemption pursuant to Art. 4 in conjunction with Annex III or Annex IV of the RoHS Directive is relevant. If the supplier claims a statutory exemption according to the RoHS Directive, the supplier shall inform the customer thereof indicating the exemption. |
| 16.2.3 | The supplier shall provide the information to the customer, which is required under Art. 33 of the REACH Regulation; on the customer’s request, the information shall be communicated separately already prior to the purchase order, and otherwise immediately, no later than at the time of the order confirmation. The supplier shall inform the customer in particular whether and, if so, which candidate substances (SVHC contained in the candidate list of the ECHA as applicable from time to time) are integrated in the respective products with a concentration of more than 0.1 mass percent (w/w). A product subject to delivery can thereby consist of a multitude of component products. |

If there is no candidate substance with more than 0.1 mass percent in a product subject to delivery, the supplier shall inform the customer thereof too. |
| 16.2.5 | If there is an entry in the SCIP database of the ECHA for the product to be delivered, the supplier shall communicate the appropriate SCIP number for the respective product to the customer.

| 16.2.6 | The supplier shall deliver declarations to the customer with regard to the obligations set forth in sub-sections 16.2.1 through 16.2.5 fully confirming the compliance with such obligations. To do so, the supplier shall use the elobau supplier portal provided by the customer, answer the questions presented there completely and truthfully, as well as confirm its information as correct. |
| 16.2.7 | In case of changes or extensions of the legal bases, including, but not limited to the substance restrictions according to Annex II of the RoHS Directive, the exemptions pursuant to Annex III or Annex IV of the RoHS Directive, the candidate list of the ECHA, Annex XIV, Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation or the Annexes I or II of the POP Regulation, the supplier shall actively examine the products to find out whether an update of the declaration pursuant to sub-section 16.2.6 is required. If this is the case, the supplier shall provide updated declarations to the customer immediately and without request via the elobau supplier portal. |

Notwithstanding any other rights of termination and rescission, the CUSTOMER has the right to rescind the contract with immediate effect or to terminate the contract if the SUPPLIER and/or its subcontractors culpably violate the above provisions or the Minimum Wage Act of 11 August 2014, respectively. The SUPPLIER shall compensate the CUSTOMER for any damage the latter incurs as a result of the rescission or termination. Claims of the SUPPLIER for non-performance shall be excluded.
