such Purchase Order (“Seller”) agrees to sell the goods (“Goods”) and/or provide the services (“Services”) as
described in the Purchase Order, which includes these terms and conditions and any exhibit, document, drawing,
specifications, and data referenced or incorporated by reference in the Purchase Order (collectively, “Order”),
subject to the following:
1. ACCEPTANCE. ACCEPTANCE OF THE OFFER REPRESENTED BY THIS ORDER IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THIS ORDER AS CONTAINED HEREIN AND ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS PROPOSED
BY SELLER ARE HEREBY OBJECTED TO AND REJECTED AND SHALL HAVE NO EFFECT ON BUYER. There are no
understandings or agreements, express or implied, oral or otherwise, relating to the subject matter of this Order
other than as set forth in this Order. The previous sentence notwithstanding, to the extent Buyer is purchasing Goods
and/or Services pursuant to a master agreement between Buyer and Seller, such master agreement shall govern to
the extent any provision of this Order conflicts with such master agreement. Seller shall be bound by this Order
when it executes and returns the acknowledgement copy of this Order, when it otherwise indicates acceptance of
this Order or when it ships any Goods and/or provides any Services ordered herein to Buyer or otherwise commences
performance hereunder. Buyer’s acceptance of Goods and/or Services shall not be construed as an acceptance of
any terms and conditions contained in any such document. No modification of or addition to this Order (whether or
not such modifications or additions are written), or wavier of any of the provisions of this Order, will be effective
unless agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Buyer. Buyer and Seller agree that no course of
performance or prior dealings between the parties or usage of trade inconsistent with the terms and conditions
herein shall be relevant to give particular meaning to supplement or qualify this Order, and none of the provisions
of this Order shall be deemed to have been waived by any act of or acquiescence on the part of either Seller or
Buyer, or their respective agents or employees other than by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party.
2. PRICE. The price of the Goods and/or Services is the price stated in this Order. If the applicable price for any
Goods or Services are not shown in this Order, it is agreed that the Goods or Services shall be billed at the price last
quoted or paid for the same Goods or Services, or the prevailing market price, whichever is lower. Prices for Goods
are DDP Buyer’s Designated Location (as defined below) (Incoterms 2020) unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in
writing. Shipments sent under any other delivery terms are subject to Buyer’s rejection and will be made at Seller’s
risk. The prices herein shall not be increased without Buyer’s written consent and no additional charges of any type
shall be added including, but not limited to, any charges for insurance, shipping, transportation, taxes, customs
duties, fees, storage, packing or crating, unless authorized in writing by Buyer. Seller will give Buyer the benefit of
any price reductions available or in effect at the actual time of shipment and/or performance.
3. PAYMENT TERMS. Unless provided in the Purchase Order or otherwise expressly agreed by Buyer in writing,
Seller shall invoice Buyer only after the delivery of all Goods and the completion of all Services included in the Order,
and Buyer shall pay all properly invoiced amounts within 90 days after Buyer’s receipt of such invoice, except for any
amounts disputed by Buyer in good faith.
4. CHANGES. Buyer reserves the right at any time to make changes to this Order without the consent of Seller
including, but not limited to: specifications, drawings and data; methods of shipment or packing; and place or time
of delivery and/or performance; provided, however that no additional changes to this Order, including but not
limited to those listed above, will be made unless authorized in writing by Buyer. If any such change causes an
increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for performance of this Order, either party may request in
writing an equitable adjustment to the price or delivery schedule, or both, within ten (10) business days following
the receipt by Seller of Buyer’s notice of the related change. If an increase or decrease in cost or time for delivery is
not requested by a party within such ten (10) business day period, the parties’ right to an adjustment shall be
deemed waived. If the parties cannot agree to the actual amount of the price or time adjustment within ten (10)
business days of the written request for a change, either party may terminate this Order upon five (5) business days
prior written notice to the other party, with no liability to the other party for the Goods or Services cancelled. Any changes,
if authorized by Buyer in writing, whether initiated by Seller or Buyer, shall be denominated as a “Revision”
to this Order. Only Buyer shall issue Revisions and, if issued, shall be in writing. Each such Revision shall be subject
to and expressly incorporate the terms and conditions of this Order. Seller shall not make any changes to the design,
materials or processes used to manufacture the Goods or to provide Services or to the location at which the Goods
are manufactured, without the prior written consent of Buyer.
5. TERMINATION. Buyer reserves the right to terminate this Order, or any part hereof, for convenience upon five
(5) business days’ notice to Seller. Immediately following Seller’s receipt of notice of Buyer’s termination of all or a
portion of this Order for convenience, Seller shall immediately stop all work hereunder and shall immediately cause
any of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease any work related to this Order. If this Order, or part thereof, is
terminated by Buyer for convenience, Buyer shall pay to Seller: (i) any amounts due for Goods or Services accepted
prior to the effective date of termination and (ii) the reasonable costs incurred by Seller prior to the effective date
of Buyer’s termination in the performance of this Order (exclusive of profits), but solely to the extent related to
Goods or Services that were not accepted by Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall use its best efforts to
mitigate such costs, and such costs shall not exceed the price stated in this Order for the cancelled Good or Services.
Seller must notify Buyer of any claim resulting from Buyer’s termination for convenience within ninety (90) days of
the effective date of Buyer’s termination. Buyer may also terminate this Order, or any part hereof, or any other
Order between the parties, for Cause immediately upon notice to Seller. As used in this Section “Cause” includes
Seller’s default or non-compliance with any term or condition of this Order, late delivery, delivery of defective or
non-conforming Goods and/or Services, cessation of the conduct of Seller’s business, failure of Seller to pay its debts
generally as such debts become due, commencement of any proceeding under the bankruptcy code or insolvency
laws by or against Seller, appointment of a receiver for Seller or a substantial portion of its business or assets, or an
assignment for the benefit of Seller’s creditors. In the event Buyer terminates this Order for Cause, Buyer shall not
be liable to Seller for any amounts hereunder, other than payment for the Goods and/or Services accepted prior to
the effective date of Buyer’s termination, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order, Seller shall be
liable to Buyer for any and all damages sustained by Buyer due to such termination including, without limitation,
Buyer’s direct, indirect, incidental and consequential damages, costs (including attorneys’ and other professionals’
fees and costs), expenses and losses. Seller may not cancel or modify this Order in whole or in part, including these
terms and conditions, without Buyer’s written consent.
6. DELIVERY / TITLE / RISK OF LOSS. Except as otherwise provided in this Order, delivery and/or performance
shall be at the location shown on the face of this Order or if no location is listed, at the location provided in writing
by Buyer to Seller (the “Designated Location”). Title to Goods and risk of loss thereof, or damage thereto, shall pass
to Buyer upon delivery to Buyer at Buyer’s Designated Location. If Goods are to be installed by Seller at Buyer’s
facility or a facility designated by Buyer, title will pass to Buyer upon completion of the installation and written
approval by Buyer. Seller shall deliver the Goods and/or provide the Services on the date specified in this Order (the
“Delivery Date”). Time is of the essence and if delivery of Goods and/or performance of the Services is not completed
by the Delivery Date, Buyer reserves the right, without liability and in addition to its other rights and remedies, to
terminate this Order by notice to Seller effective as to Goods not yet shipped and/or Services not yet performed and
to purchase substitute Goods and/or alternative Services elsewhere and charge Seller for any additional expenses,
costs and losses incurred as a result. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing if the delivery of the Goods and/or
provision of the Services will be delayed, indicating the cause and extent of the delay, but this shall not relieve Seller
of its obligation to deliver and/or perform as required by this Order unless otherwise instructed by Buyer in writing.
If, in order to meet the Delivery Date it becomes necessary for Seller to ship by a more expensive way than specified
in this Order, increased transportation costs shall be paid by Seller unless the necessity for such rerouting or
expedited handling has been caused solely and exclusively by Buyer. Seller shall be solely responsible for proper
packing, crating, or boxing of the Goods, as directed by Buyer or, absent such direction, in standard commercial
containers capable of safe delivery to Buyer, in each case, at Seller’s sole expense, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer
in writing.
7. INSPECTION AND REJECTION. Receipt of any Goods and/or Services or payment for any Goods and/or Services
will not constitute acceptance of any Goods and/or Services hereunder. At any time, Buyer may inspect and reject
all or any portion of the Goods and/or Services if it determines the Goods and/or Services are of inferior quality or
workmanship, not in compliance with this Order, shipped and/or provided contrary to instructions, not in the
quantities specified, otherwise do not conform to this Order or that violate any applicable law. In addition to other
rights and remedies available to Buyer, Buyer may, at its election, terminate this Order in whole or in part, and any
Goods rejected may, at Buyer’s option, be returned to Seller for prompt reimbursement (including freight charges),
credit, refund or replacement, or held by Buyer for pickup by Seller, all at Seller’s expense and risk. Buyer may charge
Seller any expenses incurred in unpacking, examining, repacking, storing and reshipping any Goods so rejected. If
Buyer requests replacement of Goods and/or Services, and Seller does not promptly replace the rejected Goods
and/or Services, Buyer may replace them with Goods and/or Services from a third party, and Seller shall reimburse
Buyer for the cost thereof. Nothing contained in this Order relieves Seller, in any way, from the obligation of testing,
inspection and quality control of Goods and/or Services.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party acknowledges that its respective performance of its obligations hereunder may
require that it have access to confidential business and proprietary information of the other (“Confidential
Information”). Each party may disclose Confidential Information to its officers, directors, employees, representatives
and agents solely for the purpose of performing this Order and agrees on behalf of itself and its officers, directors,
employees, representatives and agents to use its/their best efforts to prevent unauthorized access, use, duplication
or disclosure, by or to a third party, of Confidential Information, including, without limitation, data, plans,
specifications, formulae, drawings or any other information whether business or technical, of a confidential nature,
which has been furnished directly or indirectly, in writing or otherwise by one party hereto (the “Disclosing Party”)
to the other party (the “Receiving Party”). For the avoidance of doubt, each party shall be responsible for a breach
of this Section by its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents. Confidential information shall
include such information as would be apparent to a reasonable person, familiar with the Disclosing Party’s business
and the industry in which it operates, that such information is of a confidential or proprietary nature and that
maintenance of its confidentiality would likely be of commercial value to the Disclosing Party. Confidential
information shall not include information that is in the public domain prior to its disclosure, becomes part of the
public domain through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party, was in the lawful possession of the Receiving Party
prior to its disclosure to the Receiving Party or was independently developed by the Receiving Party. Disclosure of
Confidential Information pursuant to order by a court shall not be a violation of this Section; provided, however,
that the party subject to such order shall, to the extent allowed by law, notify the other party in advance of such
disclosure.
9. WARRANTY. Seller warrants to Buyer, Buyer’s successors, assigns, and customers, and users of the products
manufactured by Buyer incorporating the Goods, that: (a) Seller has good title to any and all Goods supplied
hereunder and has the right to transfer title of said Goods to Buyer free and clear of any and all liens and
encumbrances; (b) all Services shall be performed in a workmanlike manner using best industry standards, using
personnel of required skill, experience and qualifications, and in accordance with this Order and with applicable
laws; (c) all Goods shall conform to all Buyer-approved drawings, specifications and appropriate standards and all
other requirements of this Order; (d) all Goods (including their component parts) will be new (and not counterfeit);

and any Goods will be adequately contained, packaged, marked and labeled; (f) Goods supplied hereunder will be
of merchantable quality; (g) Goods supplied hereunder shall be fit for the particular use intended, free from defects,
whether patent or latent, in material and workmanship, and shall conform to all specifications and requirements of
this Order; and (h) Seller shall, in the performance of its obligations hereunder, comply with all, and shall not violate
any, applicable federal, state, and local laws and governmental regulations and orders. The foregoing warranties
shall survive acceptance, testing, inspection, or use of the Goods and/or Services by Buyer and shall be cumulative
and in addition to any warranties of additional scope given to Buyer by Seller and/or provided by law or in equity.
Seller shall replace or correct defects of any Goods and/or Services not conforming to the foregoing warranty
promptly, without expense to Buyer, when notified of such nonconformity by Buyer, provided Buyer elects to
provide Seller with the opportunity to do so. Alternatively, if Buyer elects not to do so, or in the event of failure of
Seller to correct defects in or replace nonconforming Goods and/or Services promptly, Buyer may make such
corrections or replace such Goods and/or Services, and in either case may engage third parties to do so, and charge
Seller for the cost incurred by Buyer in doing so.
10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Seller warrants that neither the Goods, Services, nor use thereof shall infringe on
any existing or pending patent, copyright, trademark, trade name, invention or process of manufacturing or other
intellectual property right; provided, however, that this warranty shall not apply to the extent that the Goods were
manufactured or the Services were performed according to Buyer’s specifications and such specifications would
have resulted in a violation of this warranty. Seller will, upon receipt of notification thereof, promptly assume full
responsibility for defense of any suit or proceeding which may be brought against Buyer and its affiliates, and their
respective successors, assigns, agents, customers, users of its products incorporating the Goods, and other vendors
for alleged infringement, as well as for any alleged unfair competition resulting from similarity in design, trademark
or appearance of Goods and/or Services provided hereunder, and Seller will indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and
its affiliates, and their respective successors, assigns, agents, customers, users of its products incorporating the
Goods, and other vendors harmless against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, injuries,
expenses, costs (including attorneys’ fees and court costs), fines, interest and penalties resulting from any such suit
or proceeding, including any settlement thereof. Any settlement of any action must be approved by Buyer. Buyer
may be represented by and actively participate through its own counsel in any such suit or proceeding if it so desires,
and the costs of such representation shall be paid by Seller. If the Goods and/or Services are held to violate the
intellectual property rights of any third party and/or sale and/or use thereof is enjoined, Seller shall, at Buyer’s
election, either (1) procure for Buyer the right to continue using same; (2) replace the same with non-infringing
Goods and/or Services; or (3) modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing. Any Goods and/or Services which
are capable of copyright protection made, designed or developed for Buyer pursuant to this Order shall be a “work
made for hire.” Seller hereby grants and assigns to Buyer and its successors and assigns any and all inventions,
discoveries, computer programs, software, data, technologies, designs, innovations and improvements and related
patents, copyrights, trademarks and other industrial and intellectual property rights and applications therefor made
or conceived by Seller or its agents or employees in connection with the performance of this Order.
11. INDEMNIFICATION. Seller shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Buyer and its affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, successors, assigns, employees, agents, customers and users of products incorporating
the Goods (the “Indemnitees”), of and from any claim, loss, demand, action, damage, liability, injury, cost, fine,
penalty, interest or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) sustained or incurred by one or more of the
Indemnitees directly or indirectly arising out of: (a) injury to persons or property by reason of any defects in the
Goods and/or Services; (b) breach by Seller of any of its warranties, or Seller’s failure timely to deliver the Goods
and/or Services purchased hereunder; (c) any noncompliance or violation of law as provided herein; (d) the
negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its employees, contractors, agents, or representatives, and/or (e) any
breach of this Order by Seller. Any settlement of any indemnifiable action must be approved by the applicable
Indemnitee. The Indemnitee may be represented by and actively participate through its own counsel in any such
proceeding, if it so desires, and the costs of such representation shall be paid by Seller.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL BUYER BE LIABLE TO SELLER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF
WHATSOEVER NATURE, OR FOR ATTORNEY’S FEES, LOSS OF MARKET SHARE, OR LOST PROFITS HOWSOEVER THESE

thereto, shall be and remain the property of Buyer and shall be used only in fulfilling this Order and for no other
purpose and shall not be duplicated or disclosed to others. Such furnishing of Buyer’s property shall not be construed

ten (10) days’ advance written notice in the event of a cancellation or material change in Seller’s insurance policy.
Except where prohibited by law, Seller shall require its insurer to waive all rights of subrogation against Buyer’s
insurers and Buyer or the Indemnitees.

terminate this Order with no liability to Buyer if any governmental authority imposes antidumping or countervailing
duties or any other penalties on Goods.
17. NON-WAIVER. The failure by either party to pursue any remedy hereunder shall not constitute a waiver on its
part to pursue such remedy with respect to the same or similar breach. No waiver by Buyer of any provision of this

unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any legal and enforceable provisions hereof which

assignment shall not require Seller’s consent. Seller shall not subcontract this Order, or any part hereof, without the
prior written authorization of Buyer, which may or may not be granted in Buyer’s sole discretion. For the avoidance
