The companies also signed a separate, nonbinding letter of intent to negotiate a supply agreement by year-end. A possible 150-system order depends on that later deal, acceptance and approvals; none is committed. For Randolph County, the signed contract sets out reference-unit work at an existing manufacturing site, while larger-scale production and jobs remain unannounced.
