Section 14 -  Failure and Incremental Costs.
                a.  Failure to Deliver Products. If any shipment of Products is not sent or received within the agreed time frame, then
                    the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers may, with notification to Supplier, order similar Products from another
                    supplier, and Supplier shall pay to the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers within ten (10) business days after receipt
                    of an invoice from the Co-op and/ or the applicable Selected Buyer(s), the actual, documented incremental costs
                    incurred by the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers in obtaining such similar Products, including, without limitation,
                    price differences, shipping charges, and tax differences. The Co-op and its Selected Buyers have no obligation to
                    accept Products not sent or received within the agreed time frame.


                b.  Defective or Nonconforming Products. If any Products are defective or nonconforming, then the Co-op and/ or its
                    Selected Buyers may notify Supplier of such defective or nonconforming Products, and Supplier shall immediately
                    ship non-defective and conforming Products ("Replacement Products") to the Co-op and/or its Selected
                    Buyers. The Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers may in any event, with notification to Supplier, order Replacement
                    Products from another supplier, and Supplier shall pay to the Co-op within ten (10) business days after receipt of an
                    invoice from the Co-op and/ or the applicable Selected Buyer(s), the actual, documented incremental costs incurred
                    by the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers in obtaining the Replacement Products, including, without limitation, price
                    differences, shipping charges, and tax differences.  The Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers have no obligation to
                    accept Replacement Products that are not immediately shipped as required above



                c.   Products Out of Stock. If Supplier is out of stock with respect to any Products, then Supplier shall immediately
                    notify the Co-op and its Selected Buyers. Supplier shall not backorder any Products without the express written
                    consent of the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers, and the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers have no obligation to
                    accept such backordered Products in the absence of such express written consent. Upon being notified that
                    Supplier is out of stock with respect to any Products, the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers may, with notification to
                    Supplier, order similar Products from another supplier, and Supplier shall pay to the Co-op and/ or its Selected
                    Buyers within ten (10) business days after receipt of an invoice from the Co-op and/ or the applicable Selected
                    Buyer(s), the actual, documented incremental costs incurred by the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers in obtaining
                    such similar Products.


             Section 15 -  Product Recall, Recovery, Replacement, and/ or Retrofit.
            Product  Recall,  Recovery,  Replacement,  and/  or  Retrofit.  If  it  is  deemed  necessary  by  a  governmental  entity,  the
            Supplier, the Servicers, or the Co-op to recall, recover, replace, and/ or retrofit any Products for any reason bearing on their
            quality,  functionality,  or  safety,  then  Supplier  shall  comply  diligently  with  all  recall,  recovery,  replacement,  and/  or  retrofit
            procedures established from time to time by the Servicers or the Co-op. Supplier shall bear all costs and expenses incurred
            by it, the Servicers, the Co-op, and/ or its Selected Buyers in compliance with such recall, recovery, replacement, and/ or
            retrofit procedures to the extent due to Supplier’s breach this Agreement’s terms. If Supplier fails or refuses to comply with
            the recall, recovery, replacement, and/ or retrofit procedures upon the request of the Servicers or the Co-op, then the Co-op
            and/ or its Selected Buyers may take such action as they deem necessary to complete the recall, recovery, replacement,
            and/ or retrofit and Supplier shall reimburse the Servicers, the Co-op, and/ or its Selected Buyers, as appropriate, for their
            costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in such recall procedures. Any such
            action  taken  by  the  Co-op  and/  or  its  Selected  Buyers  does  not  relieve  Supplier  of  its  obligations  under  this
            Agreement. Supplier  shall,  at  its  sole  cost  and  expense,  promptly  implement  any  recall,  recovery,  replacement,  and/  or
            retrofit solutions to any Products not yet delivered. The Co-op and/ or the Servicers shall use commercially reasonable efforts
            to  provide  Supplier  with  notice  prior  to  the  initiation  of  any  recall,  recovery,  replacement,  and/  or  retrofit  procedures  and
            cooperate and consult with Supplier on all recall, recovery, replacement, and/ or retrofit matters, including any technical or
            procedural matters which may arise.


             Section 16 -  Changing Specifications/ Discontinuing Orders.
                a.  Price Change. The Servicers (but not the Co-op or other Selected Buyers) may, upon written notice to Supplier,
                    change the Specifications for Products. Supplier’s Price for the modified Products must reflect only increases or
                    decreases in Supplier’s actual labor, material, and tooling/ equipment costs arising out of the change in
                    specification. If the Servicers cause a Specification change, then Supplier shall promptly, on an expedited best
                    efforts basis, furnish the itemization of its proposed adjusted pricing to the Co-op for review and agreement.


                b.  Inventory. If the Servicers change the Specifications, then the Co-op and/ or its Selected Buyers may, at their sole
                    discretion, acquire Supplier’s current conforming inventory of affected, merchantable Products, in a quantity not to
