A.

Sale of Products . During the term of this Agreement, HYTEK will sell and supply the Products listed in Exhibit A to Medtronic at the prices listed in Exhibit A. Additional Products may be added to Exhibit A by mutual agreement of the parties in writing. To the extent a Product includes embedded software, the term “sell” will be understood to refer to a non-exclusive license to use (and to allow customers and end-users to use) such software in connection with the Product.

 

B.

Forecasting .

 

 

(1)

Medtronic may reschedule forecasts for the first three months of Product or following three months of material purchases by ± 10% without penalty.

 

 

(2)

HYTEK will use all reasonable efforts to satisfy all orders submitted by Medtronic, and will use its best efforts to provide Medtronic one hundred percent (100%) of the quantities of Products ordered.

(1)

Products will be ordered via standard Medtronic purchase orders, which may be submitted via mail, fax or, if mutually agreed by the parties, electronic data interchange (EDI).
