5 Requiring its suppliers to comply with the environmental regulatory and government entities of the country where business is conducted. Pacific Insight encourages all suppliers to be ISO certified or equivalent Pacific Insight is required to comply with customer environmental material reporting objectives and standards. In order to comply with these, Pacific Insight requires suppliers provide MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) product data sheets, and IMDS (International Material Data System) submissions upon request. Also, Pacific Insight Suppliers must maintain and operate its manufacturing/production facilities and processes in accordance with local, state, and federal laws/regulations in the country of origin. Non-Discrimination Suppliers shall not discriminate against race, color, sex, religion, age, physical disability, political affiliation, or other defining characteristics as prohibited by local, state, and federal laws/regulations in the country of origin. Labor o o o o Child Labor Suppliers shall employ workers of minimum legal age in accordance with local, state, and federal laws/regulations in the country of origin. Child labor laws must be followed. Forced/Indentured Labor Suppliers shall not practice the use of forced or indentured labor. Work Hours/Days Suppliers shall not exceed the daily and weekly working hours as permitted by local, state, and federal laws/regulations in the country of origin Wages and Benefits Suppliers shall compensate workers in accordance with local, state, and federal laws/regulations in the country of origin. This includes minimum legal wage, overtime wages, and benefits (required by law). Gifts and Gratuity It is Pacific Insight s policy that no Pacific Insight employee accepts any gifts (other than items with small intrinsic value) or other gratuity from any supplier to Pacific Insight or bidder for Pacific Insight s business. This policy applies to all employees whether or not they are directly involved in the purchasing activity.

6 In July 2010 the United States Congress enacted legislation that requires certain public companies to provide disclosures about the use of specified conflict minerals and their derivative metals such as gold, tin, tungsten and tantalum emanating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and nine adjoining countries. Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act is intended to make transparent the financial interests that support armed groups in the DRC area. By requiring companies using conflict minerals in their products to disclose the source of such minerals, the law is aimed at dissuading companies from continuing to engage in trade that supports regional conflicts. Although is not directly subject to the Dodd-Frank conflict minerals reporting requirements, many of our customers are. To support our customers in their compliance requirements, Pacific Insight actively works with our global supply chain to collect conflict minerals information. is committed to due diligence for a responsible supply chain. In order to support reporting requirements and assurance to our end customers, suppliers to are directed to: Determine whether its manufactured products contain one or more of the identified conflict minerals or their derivatives Conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding these conflict minerals Undertake due diligence with sub-suppliers to identify the smelters used in the supply chain to process the raw materials (or validate the origin of materials as recycled/scrap.) Complete and return the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template annually or as requested Suppliers that are non-compliant with these requirements will be reviewed by our Supplier Development team. 1. Quality System Requirements Suppliers shall maintain a Quality Management System (QMS) that promotes defect free product through prevention, monitoring and continuous improvement. The Quality Management System shall be suitable to the products and services provided to Pacific Insight and shall be certified by an accredited third-party certification body to the latest version of one or more of the following, as applicable: + ISO Quality Management System Requirements1 ISO/TS Quality System Requirements (Automotive, Truck & Heavy Equipment)2 See the following sources for a listing of accredited certification bodies: 1 The U.S. accreditation body for management systems can be found at ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board, For a list of Accreditation Boards from other countries, refer to the International Accreditation Forum at 2 For ISO/TS 16949, see International Automotive Oversight Bureau at 6 of 18

7 In the absence of third-party certification, depending on the product, its application, value, and criticality, the Pacific Insight Supplier Development and quality representative may authorize the acceptance of other evidence of compliance. This may include second-party (Pacific Insight) audit or first-party (self) assessment to the applicable criteria above, or to a set of alternative basic quality requirements (such as those described in a Pacific Insight Supplier Quality Assessment checklist). 1.1 Quality Manual Upon request, the Supplier shall furnish Pacific Insight with a copy of the Supplier s Quality Management System Manual, which is to be current and approved by the supplier's management.

When the Supplier uses sub-tier sources to perform work on products and/or services scheduled for delivery to Pacific Insight, the Supplier shall include (flow-down) on contracts, to its sub-tier sources, all of the applicable technical and quality requirements contained in the Pacific Insight contract, including quality system requirements, regulatory requirements, the use of Pacific Insight designated sources, and the requirement to document and control 'key characteristics' and/or 'key processes,' and to furnish certifications and test reports as required. Pacific Insight and its customers reserve the right of- entry to sub-tier facilities, subject to proprietary considerations. 3.3 Business Continuity The Supplier should have a business continuity plan which would allow for the safeguarding, storage and recovery of engineering drawings, electronic media, and production tooling in the event of damage or loss. This plan should also contain contingency plans to satisfy Pacific Insight requirements in the event of significant utility interruptions, labor shortages, equipment failure and field returns. 3.4 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Requirements All external suppliers supplying production parts, assemblies, components and production materials to Pacific Insight plants are required to have EDI capabilities. 4. Pre-Production and New Product Launch Requirements (APQP) All approved production suppliers involved in pre-production and new product launches are required to formulate advanced quality plans to support the development of new products and/or services in accordance with the guidelines in the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) manual published by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG). 5. Product Qualification 5.1 Production Part Approval Process All Suppliers shall submit to Pacific Insight a Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) 8 of 18

9 qualification package, unless exempted by contract. The Supplier is responsible obtaining the latest revision of the applicable AIAG reference manuals and forms. The AIAG Manuals are: for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Control Plan Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) Statistical Process Control (SPC) When PPAP is specified on the Pacific Insight contract, the Supplier shall submit a Level 3 PPAP package to the Pacific Insight Supplier Quality Representative, unless otherwise directed. For all industry standard parts the supplier may submit level 1 PPAP, however all documentation shall be available upon request. See AIAG PPAP Manual, Table 4.2, for complete list of submission requirements for each level of PPAP. Also, see AIAG APQP Manual for related guidance on associated product and process design and development methodology and techniques. Below are the requirements on some specific PPAP Elements. A. Design Record, Change Documents, and Customer Approval The Supplier shall have the design record for the saleable product/part and components; any authorized engineering change documents for those changes not yet recorded in the design record but incorporated in the product, part or tooling; and evidence of Pacific Insight engineering approval. See AIAG PPAP Manual. B. Dimensional Results Supplier shall document the dimensional results of five parts per cavity or process stream. The dimensional results shall include all notes and specifications on the drawing. The drawing shall be ballooned with the corresponding numbers from the dimensional result document. C. Process Flow Diagram The Supplier shall have a visual diagram of the proposed or current process. This diagram shall clearly describe the production process steps and sequence, and meet the specified Pacific Insight needs, requirements and expectations. See AIAG PPAP Manual. D. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Suppliers with product design responsibility shall develop a Design FMEA in accordance with, and compliant to, Pacific Insight-specified requirements. A single Design FMEA may be applied to a family of similar parts or materials. Suppliers shall develop a Process FMEA in accordance with, and compliant to, Pacific Insight-specified requirements. A single Process FMEA may be applied to a process manufacturing a family of similar parts or materials if reviewed for commonality by the Supplier. See AIAG FMEA Manual. E. Measurement Systems Analysis The Supplier must develop or obtain gages and standards to control their processes and to 9 of 18

10 determine product conformance to specifications. Variable gages and measurements are preferred. Alternative methods, gages or standards may be used at Pacific Insight to verify the Supplier s inspection results. Pacific Insight may request the Supplier to participate in a correlation study to compare Supplier measurement results against results obtained by Pacific Insight gages and methods. The Supplier shall perform Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) studies, e.g., gage repeatability & reproducibility, bias, linearity, stability, for all new or modified gages, measurement, and test equipment. See AIAG MSA Manual. F. Control Plan The Supplier shall have a Control Plan that takes into account the output from the FMEA and defines all methods used for process monitoring and control of special product/process characteristics. The control plan covers three distinct phases: prototype, pre-launch, and production. A single control plan may apply to a group or family of products that are produced by the same process at the same source. See AIAG APQP Manual. G. Process Capability Study Process Capability Index (Cpk) is a comparison of the inherent variability of a process output to specification limits under statistically stable conditions. Most methods for estimating capability require that the characteristic being evaluated is approximately normally distributed, and in statistical control. The distribution should be determined prior to estimating capability. If the process is not in statistical control, all assignable causes must first be identified and removed. Special techniques are available for calculating capability when inherent assignable causes, such as tool wear, are present. Definitions and calculations for Cpk and Ppk indices are found in AIAG PPAP and SPC Manuals. Unless otherwise approved by Pacific Insight, the Supplier shall use the following as acceptance criteria for evaluating initial process study results of special characteristics for processes that appear stable: Results Interpretation Index > 1.67 The process currently meets acceptance criteria Index 1.67 The process is marginally acceptable. Index < 1.33 The process is not acceptable. If the process is not capable the supplier shall use 100% inspection for the special characteristic and have a plan to improve process capability with index greater than H. Certification and Test Reports The Supplier shall provide evidence that all required test results and material certifications comply with the design record. The following verifications required by the design record have been completed and that results indicate compliance with specified requirements: 10 of 18

The Supplier is responsible for the timely review, distribution and implementation of all Pacific Insight Engineering standards/specifications and changes in accordance with the schedule required by Pacific Insight. The Supplier shall maintain a record of the date on which each change is implemented in production. Implementation shall include updated documents. 7.2 Supplier Change Requests Suppliers shall not make changes to their processes, location, facilities, equipment, material, product design (or any change which may affect product design or function) without written approval from Pacific Insight for: Correction of a discrepancy on a previously submitted part; Product modified by an engineering change to design records, specifications, or materials; or Any planned changes by the Supplier to the design, process, or manufacturing location, such as: a) Use of other material than was used in previously approved part or product b) Production from new, additional, replacement or modified tools, dies, molds, patterns, etc. c) Production following upgrade or rearrangement of existing tooling or equipment d) Production from tooling and equipment transferred to a different plant site or from an additional plant e) Change of sub-tier Supplier for parts, non-equivalent materials, or services (e.g. heat treating, plating, etc.) f) Product produced after tooling has been inactive for production for 12 months or more g) Change to test/inspection method new technique (no effect on acceptance criteria) h) For bulk materials: new source of raw material from new or existing Supplier, or change in product appearance attributes, etc. Before submitting to Pacific Insight a request for a permanent change to a Suppliercontrolled design, the Supplier shall review the FMEA and Control Plan, as applicable, to ensure that all process-related issues have been addressed and resolved. Pacific Insight 13 of 18

14 may require the Supplier to submit an updated FMEA and Control Plan prior to approval of such permanent changes. Pacific Insight may also require other portions, or all, of the related qualification process to be repeated. In some cases, Pacific Insight may elect to review Supplier proposed permanent changes at the Supplier s facility. To request a permanent engineering change, the Supplier shall use the Part/Process Change Notification form or other equivalent form of notification acceptable to the Pacific Insight. To request a one-time or temporary deviation, Suppliers shall use Pacific Insight s Supplier Deviation Request, or other equivalent form acceptable to the Pacific Insight Supplier Development Representative. 8. Control of Non-Conforming Material and Corrective Action Process 8.1 Control of Non-Conforming Material Suppliers are responsible for the quality of their product at all times throughout the Pacific Insight manufacturing process, installation at the final customer and through the end customer s use. Suppliers must have procedures/processes in place to prevent nonconforming products from escaping their process resulting in shipment to Pacific Insight. When non-conforming product/material that does not meet requirement is identified at Pacific Insight a supplier non-conformance report is written. The NC report will be forwarded to the supplier with samples (when applicable) exhibiting the non-conformances. The supplier shall enact immediate activities to ensure availability of good material to Pacific Insight whether by means of correcting the process that caused the non-conformance or by sorting and reworking the discrepant material. 8.2 Corrective Action Response The supplier corrective action response must address the root cause and prevent reoccurrence of the non-conformance. Pacific Insight may require the supplier to submit the response in an 8-D format. Following is the definition of all 8 sections of a formal 8-D problem solving process. D1 Establish Team Establish Champion Select team members (cross-functional) D2 Describe the Problem What the object or part concern Where The place this occurred 14 of 18

15 Hen When first discovered the problem, when else was seen, when did it occur in the process How Big How many parts/lots are affected, how big is the problem D3 Containment Contain symptom immediately to protect the customer Purge and Sot immediately at the customer, in transit and in house Identify Action Verify Actions stop defects certify material to achieve customer satisfaction Validate action taken is fully effective. D4 Identify Root Cause Use 5-Why methodology Why did the defect occur Why did the defect escape the supplier process and arrived at the customer Why did the system allowed the defect to occur Verify root cause by turning the problem on and off, (replicating the defect) D5 Choose and Verify Corrective Action Analyze best corrective action, focus on impact and risk Verify Corrective action eliminates root cause Choose Corrective action that eliminates the defect escaping to the customer D6 Implement Corrective Action Follow the Engineering Change Process Implement Corrective Action plan Assess removal of containment plan D7 Prevention Identify the system, practices, procedures and/or specifications that allowed the problem to occur (use 5-why methodology) Identify and implement actions to fix the identified deficiencies Look across all products and assure the defect is not present and action have been taken to prevent occurrence D8 Congratulate Team Determine appropriate recognition Recognize team members 9. Accountability and Cost of Quality Suppliers are selected on their ability to provide cost effective, superior defect free products, their expert knowledge of their product and manufacturing processes, and their ability to provide responsive and proactive support. With these expectations, suppliers shall be held accountable and responsible for all costs incurred due to defective product identified during Pacific Insight inspection, manufacturing installation, end customer use the product. Below is a list (not limited to) the cost of poor quality recovery items Administrative fee of $100 to process the non-conformance 15 of 18

16 Cost due to an automotive recall 3rd Part Sorting or Reworking costs Labor for sorting or reworking of raw stock labor for sorting or reworking in-process and/or finish goods labor for sorting or reworking finished goods at the end customer Scrapping or reworking finish goods Shipping fees related to return of defective product Fees and taxes related to scrapping of material outside Canada Warehouse/storage fee accumulated through disposition of suspect product Tooling gauges or third party testing required for defective material Freight charges Production downtime and/or production overtime at Pacific Insight manufacturing facility Production downtime at customer plant Cost of follow up actions and assessments Any other fees associated with the defective product. All costs are calculated based on Canadian or US currency depending on the Pacific Insight manufacturing location, using standard labor rates established by Pacific Insight. Appropriate debits are issued to the supplier through the accounting department in cooperation with purchasing. 10. Supplier Performance Rating Our supplier scorecard captures and reports on the supplier s OTD, PPM, Quality Systems accreditation levels, and a quantitative assessment of supplier performance by the Pacific Insight Purchasing team. The system will provide you with more clarity on what Pacific Insight expects from its suppliers strengthen communication and help foster lasting partnerships and drive continuous improvement. The following is the weighting we have assigned to each element. 35% Quality DPPM 35% On-Time Delivery (OTD) (% of shipments late, early or wrong quantity) 20% Purchasing team assessment ( Points) 10% Quality System Credentials (0 points for none, 100 points for ISO9001 or TS16949) The Performance data is then translated into a rating that will be issued to each supplier A = Premiere - Meets expectations set by Pacific Insight B = Preferred - Satisfactory no action required C = Marginal Corrective action maybe required 16 of 18

17 D = Unacceptable Systemic corrective action is required, Supplier maybe required to meet with Pacific Insight management E. <50 Unacceptable - Probation and resourcing plan Pacific Insight Requires 100% quality and 100% delivery from all suppliers Pacific Insight will be providing Supplier scorecards to selected suppliers on a monthly basis and will require corrective action reports in the event that supplier s performance does not meet the minimum requirements. Sometime a formal meeting maybe required to review supplier performance and supplier maybe placed on probation until corrective actions are agreed upon and executed. Suppliers with Quality and/or Delivery less than 100%, regardless of the overall score, must have an improvement plan in place and available for review upon request. 11. Packaging Handling, Storage Preservation, Delivery and Record Retention 11.1 Packaging and Handling All product shall be packed, packaged, marked and otherwise prepared for a shipment in a manner which is in accordance with good commercial practice (unless otherwise specified), acceptable to common carriers for shipment at the lowest rate and adequate to ensure safe arrival of the material. In accordance with Pacific Insight s environmental policy, packaging materials must be recyclable preference is given to corrugated cardboard and paper products over plastic packaging of any kind. Packaging must be tested to assure product quality during transportation. Wood Pallets must meet the phyto-sanitary requirements of ISPM15. As of Feb. 1, 2006, shipments entering Canada from countries other than the USA which do not comply with this regulation will be rejected. Quarantine expenses will be billed to the suppliers. All shipments must be accompanied with an itemized packing slip. Parts with special handling instructions such as ESD sensitivity, RoHS, MSD moisture sensitivity, WHMIS, and UL must be marked appropriately by the supplier. Identification requirements may include any or all of the following as specified by Pacific Insight: Bar Code labels must be human readable. a. Part Identification b. Name of the Manufacturer c. Lot number and/or Date code d. Pacific Insight Purchase Order number e.
