IDENTIFICATION; SHIPPING NOTICES: Seller’s invoices shall contain the following information: (a) our Purchase Order Number; (b) description of goods shipped; and (c) quantity of goods shipped and unit price applicable to such goods. 3. DELAY AND DEFAULT: Time of delivery is of the essence under this Purchase Order. Except in instances of delay which are due to causes beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of Seller and all of its suppliers, Buyer may by written notice of default to Seller (a) terminate the whole or any part of this Purchase Order in any one of the following circumstances: (i) if Seller fails to perform within the time specified herein or any extension thereof; or (ii) if Seller fails to perform any of the other provisions of this Purchase Order, or so fails to make progress as to endanger performance of this Purchase Order in accordance with its terms. and in either of these two circumstances does not cure such failure within a period of ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Buyer specifying such failure; and (b) procure, upon such terms as it shall deem appropriate, supplies or services similar to those so terminated. Seller shall continue performance of this Purchase Order to the extent not terminated and shall be liable to Buyer for any excess costs for such similar supplies or services. As an alternate remedy, and in lieu of termination for default, Buyer, at its sole discretion, may elect (1) to extend the delivery schedule and/or (2) to waive other deficiencies in Seller’s performance, in which case an equitable reduction in the Purchase Order price shall be negotiated. In the event Seller for any reason anticipates difficulty in complying with the required delivery date, or in meeting any of the other requirement of this Purchase Order, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing, which notification shall include details of the causes of such difficulty or delay and the expected delivery date. If Seller does not comply with Buyer’s delivery schedule, Buyer may – 2 – require delivery by expedited means, and charges resulting form the premium transportation must be fully prepaid and absorbed by the Seller. The rights and remedies of the Buyer provided in this clause shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Purchase Order, including, but not limited to, Buyer’s rights as specified in the Uniform Commercial Code. 4.

All inspections and tests on the premises of Seller or its suppliers shall be performed in such a manner as not to unduly delay the work. (c) Final acceptance or rejection of the goods shall be made as promptly as practical after delivery, except as otherwise provided in this Purchase Order, but failure to inspect and accept or reject goods or services or failure to detect defects by inspection including latent defects, shall neither relieve Seller from responsibility for such goods or services that are not in accordance with the Purchase Order requirements or any other requirements nor impose any liability on Buyer therefore. (d) Seller must provide and maintain an inspection and process control system acceptable to Buyer (and, if applicable, its customer) covering the goods or services hereunder. Records of all inspection work by Seller shall be kept complete and made available to Buyer (and, if applicable, its customer) during the performance of this Purchase Order and for seven years after completion of this Purchase Order upon Buyer’s request. 5.

Any claim by the Seller for adjustment under this clause must be asserted within thirty (30) days from the date of the receipt by the Seller of the notification of change; provided, however, that the Buyer, if it so chooses, may receive and act upon any such claim asserted at any time prior to final payment under this contract. Any change in this Purchase Order shall be authorized only by a duly executed Purchase Order Amendment hereto. 9. NON-ASSIGNMENT; NO DELEGATION OF PERFORMANCE: Assignment of this Purchase Order or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, shall be void.

PATENTS: Seller shall defend any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer or its customers that is based on a claim that any article or apparatus, or any part thereof constituting goods furnished under this Purchase Order, as well as any device or process necessarily resulting from the use thereof, constituted an infringement of any patent of the United States or any other country, if notified promptly in writing and given authority, information, and assistance (at Seller’s expense) for the defense of same, and Seller shall pay all damages and costs awarded therein.

ANTICIPATION OF DELIVERY SCHEDULE: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Seller shall not make material commitments or production arrangements in excess of the amount or in advance of the time necessary to meet Buyer’s delivery schedule.
