CONTRACT VISION
A commitment to fully satisfy the ultimate customer by entering into a
long term, mutually beneficial business relationship for a competitive
advantage through continuous improvement processes.
MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING:
* build a creative partnership with multi-functional partnering teams
to manage design integration, resource planning and quality
* manage the relationship not transactions
* commit totally to continuous improvement
* manage total cost for mutual profitability
* recognize co-destiny in business decisions through long term,
productivity-based Agreement

production control.
-1-
1. TERM:
The initial term of this agreement starts Nov. 1, 1998 and continues
through those dates listed on Attachments "A" thru "D" with an option
to extend for subsequent years.
2. TERMINATION:
Purchaser or Seller may terminate this agreement at any time upon 180
days prior written notice to the other party. If the agreement is
terminated by the purchaser other than for Seller's default, the
purchaser is responsible to purchase from the Seller:
* Reserve quantities of materials that have been stocked
specifically for the Purchaser, provided, however, that in no
case shall Purchaser's obligation in this regard exceed 1
year's worth of requirements (prior to any reschedule) or items
normally stocked by Seller upon termination taking effect.
Purchaser will buy back in accordance with his production
schedule and will utilize this inventory prior to other
established inventories.
* Should potential cost reduction programs require equipment or
tooling which is agreed to by both parties and solely
beneficial to the Purchaser's process, the Purchaser will
reimburse the Seller for all moneys expended but not amortized
at the time of termination. Should this occur, Seller agrees to
transfer or convey titles to Purchaser any and all such tooling
and equipment as requested.
3. SCOPE:
Seller shall supply the Purchaser machined products to support the
Industrial & Power Systems Business in accordance with the items listed
in Attachments "A" thru "D", updated periodically to incorporate the
latest revisions.
4. GOAL:
The Goal is defined as the ability of the Seller to support the
Purchaser with quality parts, having on-time deliveries at competitive
pricing. Both parties working together have the responsibility to
achieve the Goal.
5. PRICING:
A) Base pricing is fixed and shall not increase for the term of this
Agreement
-2-
except for when the Purchaser makes changes in design, materials,
or requirements (new prices shall be set on development, drawing
amendments or additional parts subsequently amending Attachments
"A" thru "D").
6. PRODUCTIVITY:
Seller will continue to implement continuous productivity gains through
6 Sigma project activities.
The productivity projects are jointly agreed on by both parties and
involve the following types of activities:
* Seller manufacturing process improvements, i.e.
(cellularization, dedicated equipment, new equipment,
upgraded tooling, etc.)
* Seller involvement in design to assure manufacturability.
* Joint effort at product standardization.
* Seller will maximize productivity on fixed processes.
* Seller will increase worker productivity.
* Inventory control to level load shop activities and to
maximize repeatability of similar units.
* Purchaser will evaluate suggestions on a timely basis and
rapidly implement those that are acceptable.
* Purchaser to review their product in depth with the Seller
to evaluate the feasibility of the following:
A) Reducing testing requirements
B) Relaxing tolerances when possible
C) Developing similar shapes and features
D) Material substitutions
E) Redesigning to optimize manufacturability.
* Scrap reduction for both mature and development parts.
* Review of processes and equipment to ensure quality.
* Added volume of similar components.
All projects requiring Purchaser's approval will be documented and
responded to utilizing the supplier CRS input form.
An immediate reduction in the Seller's price will occur upon
implementation of a productivity project funded by the Purchaser
pursuant to Articles 4 and 5. For a productivity project funded by the
Seller, the Seller's price will be reduced only after the Seller's is
reimbursed for the tooling, fixturing, and/or equipment
-3-
purchased for the project by the savings generated from the project
pursuant to Articles 4 and 5. In both cases, tooling, fixturing, and/or
equipment as identified in the productivity project will become the
property of Purchaser upon completion.
7. GENERAL COST SAVINGS:
Purchaser agrees to identify those savings and reductions gained
through 6 Sigma project activities which are directly related to
conducting business with the Seller and to share any savings that can
be calculated and audited as directly attributable in terms of credit
towards our cost reduction goals. Such examples are as listed:
* Reduced transportation costs as compared to existing
supplier use.
* Reduced applied overhead.
* Reduction of total effort extended by Purchaser to maintain
program integrity.
* Methods Changes
