the customer core purchase offer amount on which it was based,
the core credit amount generally was equal to the core amount and
was based on market-related factors, including the supply and
demand of customer cores, although, as discussed above, the
customer core purchase offer amount and therefore the core credit
amount could have been in an amount less than the core amount
because of the condition of the customer core upon its delivery
to Consolidated. The core credit amount for each customer core
was set at an amount that the marketplace in which Consolidated
acquired customer cores demanded.
Consolidated's customers did not guarantee the cores that
they decided to provide to it. However, Consolidated's
requirements for acceptance of a customer core had to be
satisfied before Consolidated was willing to accept a customer
core. Those requirements were: (1) The customer desiring to
deliver the customer core had purchased a remanufactured
automobile part from Consolidated; (2) the remanufactured
automobile part sales price charged for that part included a core
amount; (3) the customer core satisfied Consolidated's customer
core policy (Consolidated's customer core policy) relating to,
inter alia, the type and condition of the core that Consolidated
was willing to accept (e.g., Consolidated's customer core policy
for Four Star label cylinder head cores stated that those cores
were not acceptable if they were "obviously broken, cracked, or
welded"); and (4) the customer followed Consolidated's procedures
