Tax identification no.: ……………..…. registered at ……………..…. represented by name: .……………………, position: …………………… and name: .…………………., position: …………………… hereinafter referred to as ‘the supplier’ I. Subject of the contract The contractual parties hereby concordantly declare that commercial obligations have been established between them or they are considering establishing them. In order to process the supplier-customer relations between the contractual parties as quickly as possible and with a minimum administration load, the contractual parties have agreed to conclude a contract governing the invoicing of goods and services as well as other related relationships. If not stated otherwise, the terms of cooperation agreed within the actual business relationship are valid for this agreement too. By agreeing on the procedure defined by this contract, the contractual parties aim to limit the undesirable consequences of the growing supplier-customer relationship agenda, whilst speeding up the mutual accounting relations and increased information level and introducing the possibility of electronic invoicing (i.e. electronic exchange of invoicing data and archiving it). II. Subject of the contract 2.1 The contractual parties have agreed to perform the contract by way of the supplier sending electronic tax receipts for the goods delivered and services provided to any of the customer’s plants within the duration of this contract. 2.2 The term of “tax receipt” refers to the tax receipts and corrective tax receipts in terms of the definition of “invoice” in accordance with the Council Directive 2006/112/EC.

The tax receipts shall be issued in accordance with the Council Directive 2006/112/EC and contain as minimum the details required by the Article 226 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC. 3.2 The supplier bears the responsibility for the legibility, comprehensibility and completeness of all data stated on the tax receipts sent to the customer in accordance with this contract. 3.3 Should there be any discrepancies from the actual state of the supplied goods or provided services identified in the tax receipts sent to the customer in accordance with this contract, the supplier is obligated to remedy the discrepancy and send a corrected tax receipt to the customer, if the contractual parties have not agreed otherwise. 3.4 Both parties undertake to inform each other about any technical problems that may arise immediately after these are identified and work together to remove them. 3.5 If necessary, both contractual parties shall take measures to identify and eliminate mistakes with the intention of preventing damage, provided that the cost of the measures is disproportionate to the impending damage. 3.6 The contractual parties hereby agree on issuing electronic tax receipts.

The supplier undertakes to take into consideration the changed technical requirements and fulfil them within a reasonable period of time. 4.2 The issued tax receipts are to be sent to the customer by the supplier on a daily basis (each of the customer’s business days). 4.3 Both parties undertake to ensure, at their own cost and responsibility, that their own electronic communication devices meet the minimum requirements specified in Supplement 2. ‘Electronic Form and Communication Devices’ and keep them operational for the entire period of cooperation. 4.4 Both parties are entitled, following a mutual agreement, to change the parameters of the EDI communication specified in Supplement 2 (e.g. change in ISDN number, password, change from OFTP1 to OFTP2, etc.). 4.5 The Customer is deemed to have accepted a message after a successful transfer via the OFTP protocol (i.e. receiving the so called ‘End-to-End Response’ serves as proof that the sender has fulfilled their obligations when it comes to message transfer).

The technical details of the communication device, in accordance with this paragraph, are modified by Supplement 2, which is an integral part of this contract. 4.8 The parties undertake to treat any and all non-public economic and technical details that they learn during the performance of the contract as a commercial secret, i.e. they shall neither disclose such information to a third party nor use it to their profit. 4.9 The parties undertake to adhere to sufficient safety procedure and measures corresponding to the state of technology.

Annexe No. 1 - Electronic form of communication and communication equipment The electronic exchange of invoicing data is carried out via standard EDI communication according to standards used in the automotive industry. EDI communication means Communication protocol: OFTP1 or OFTP2 Report standard: Global INVOIC V3.1 according to UN/EDIFACT INVOIC D07A The report structure is described in the Implementation Guide of Škoda Auto for GLOBAL INVOIC reports and is freely available at http://edi.skoda-auto.cz. The structure of the transported file with invoicing data must exactly correspond to the structure described in the specified Implementation Guide. Hardware and Software: Hardware and software equipment on the side of the supplier and the client must correspond to the requirements set for electronic exchange of data. The requirements are described in the document "Profile for EDI communication - business data" and are freely accessible at http://edi.skoda-auto.cz. Securing of electronic communication The security of EDI communication is resolved through standard means within the framework of protocols OFTP1 and/or OFTP2. For a detailed description of EDI communication parameters, see Annexe No. 2 EDI Communication Parameters.

Both contracting parties are aware that there is a risk that it cannot be entirely ruled out that the competition or third parties, for example due to insufficient used software or the method of electronic communication, may based on a targeted unauthorised break-in or in another manner gain access to sent invoices. It is in both parties' interest to minimise this risk. If necessary (due to long-term technical difficulties, etc.), the parties shall agree to the extent possible on substitute methods of delivery, etc.
