of remanufactured automobile part and acquisitions of the
corresponding type of customer core, and the amounts that core
suppliers were charging for certain types of core supplier cores
that Consolidated anticipated purchasing in order to satisfy a
specific or temporary demand for particular types of automobile
parts.

part to each of its customers, it offered to purchase from each
such customer, subject to the requirements established by
Consolidated for its acceptance of a customer core

Consolidated offered to purchase each such customer core for an
amount (customer core purchase offer amount) that generally was
equal to the core amount which was separately stated on the
remanufactured automobile part sales invoice as part of the
remanufactured automobile part sales price for each such part.
The customer core purchase offer amount was, like the core
amount, based on market-related factors, including supply and
