Such POs shall reference this Agreement, describe the nature and quantity of the Products being ordered, and set forth the requested release or shipment dates. Products can only be purchased hereunder with the issuance of a PO by Developer. In the event such POs are placed by telephone or facsimile, they shall be promptly confirmed by Developer in writing. Providing such POs are placed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation any lead-time requirements and forecasting procedures set forth herein, they shall be accepted by Mototech. Mototech shall not, however, be required to accept any PO hereunder which requires shipment or release of quantities exceeding such forecasts by more than ten (10%) percent.

Acceptance of any POs by Mototech may be made by signing and returning the attached acknowledgment copy of the PO, or by other express acceptance. If Mototech uses its own form to accept a PO, it is understood that such use is for Mototech's convenience only and that Developer hereby refuses to assent to any terms or conditions contained therein, whether conflicting with or in addition to those contained herein, and such conflicting and/or additional terms and conditions shall be of no force or effect.
D. Except as set forth herein Developer shall have the right at any time and from time to time, to make changes of any kind or nature with respect to a PO, including without limitation, cancellation or rescheduling of the PO.

Such equitable change adjustment shall not include any costs or expenses of Mototech or Mototech's suppliers or subcontractors which Mototech could reasonably have avoided, such as, by way of example and not limitation, charges for any work done after receipt of the notice of cancellation (other than as required by Developer). In no event shall any equitable change adjustment for a cancellation of a PO exceed the purchase price of the Products canceled, nor shall any such charge apply to goods or materials which are reasonably returnable by Mototech or otherwise useable or can be sold in the normal course of Mototech's business without violation of the terms of this Agreement. At its option, Developer shall be entitled to delivery of any
5
Products (at the current state of production) and the costs (cost savings) of which are included within such cancellation charge. Any claim for an equitable adjustment hereunder shall, however, be made by Mototech as soon as is practical, but no later than forty-five (45) days from the date such change is requested. Mototech agrees to accept any such changes subject to the provisions of this Section and continue its diligent performance under the PO as so changed, which PO shall be modified in writing accordingly to reflect such change. Unless agreed in writing by Developer, Mototech shall not purchase materials, or make commitments or production arrangements, in excess of the amount, or in advance of the time reasonably necessary to meet the required delivery date as set forth on a PO.

Such invoices shall be payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth on the face of such PO, or if none, payment shall be due thirty (30) days from, and any payment period or discount related thereto shall begin upon, the later of Developer's receipt of the invoice or the Products. Developer may deduct from any payment due to Mototech or set-off against any claim by Mototech any amount which is due to Developer by Mototech for any reason, including, among other reasons, any charges caused by deviations from the terms, conditions and provisions of a PO. Unless otherwise set forth on the face of the PO, title and risk of loss with respect to the Products hereunder shall pass to Developer upon Developer's receipt of the conforming Products at the destination designated by Developer on the face hereof.
