ANY ACCEPTANCE WHICH IS QUALIFIED OR CONDITIONED IN ANY RESPECT OR THAT CONTAINS ONE OR MORE DIFFERENT OR ADDITIONAL TERMS SHALL IN EACH CASE BE DEEMED PROPOSALS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS THAT MATERIALLY ALTER THE TERMS OF THIS OFFER AND ARE HEREBY REJECTED BY BUYER UNLESS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN WRITING ON THE FACE OF BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER. BUYER HEREBY GIVES SELLER NOTICE OF ITS OBJECTION TO ANY TERM OR CONDITION OF SELLER THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM OR IN ADDITION TO THESE TERMS.
  2. PRICES AND TAXES – Seller hereby represents and warrants that prices charged for goods or services provided hereunder are not in excess of prices charged other customers of Seller for orders of similar quantities or volumes of similar goods or services on comparable terms. If Seller’s prices for goods or services are reduced prior to payment by Buyer for such goods or services under Buyer’s Purchase Order, the prices under Buyer’s Purchase Order will be reduced correspondingly. Unless otherwise specified, the agreed prices shall include all applicable federal, state, and local taxes and duties.
  3. INVOICES – After delivery of goods or performance of services, Seller shall promptly render to Buyer correct and complete invoices, which shall specify at least the following information: purchase order number, item number, description of goods, size(s), quantities, unit prices, extended totals and applicable taxes.

Dates regarding payment and discounts will be calculated from the later date of: (a) the scheduled delivery date, (b) the date of actual delivery and acceptance, and (c) the date a correct and complete invoice is received by Buyer. Payment is deemed to be made by Buyer on the date of mailing of Buyer’s check or the date of initiating payment by other cash equivalent (including electronic transfer of funds). Payment shall not constitute acceptance of goods or services and shall be subject to adjustment for errors, shortages, defects and other failures of Seller to strictly meet the requirements of Buyer’s Purchase Order. In the event that Buyer prepays for any goods, Seller hereby grants Buyer a security interest in such goods and hereby authorizes Buyer to file on Seller’s behalf (and if requested will execute and delivery such documents as may be necessary to perfect) such financing statements and other documents as necessary to perfect a first priority security interest in such goods.
  5. DELIVERY AND RISK OF LOSS – Unless otherwise specified on the face of Buyer’s purchase order, the price includes shipping DDP (INCOTERMS 2000) to the named Buyer destination. Notwithstanding any prior inspections by Buyer, Seller shall bear all risks of loss, damage and destruction to the goods called for hereunder until acceptance by Buyer at its destination. Delivery may be made up to five (5) days before but no later than the date and time stated on Buyer’s Purchase Order, time being of the essence. No partial deliveries or substitutions will be made without Buyer’s prior written consent. If delivery cannot be made within such time, Seller will give Buyer immediate notice thereof and advise Buyer of the best possible delivery date. Over shipments will be held at Seller’s risk and expense for a reasonable time awaiting shipping instructions at Seller’s cost.
  6. PACKING AND SHIPMENT – Unless otherwise specified, when the price of Buyer’s Purchase Order is based on the weight of the ordered goods, such price covers the net weight of goods ordered only, and no charges will be allowed for boxing, crating, handling, carting, drayage, storage or other packing requirements. Unless otherwise specified, all goods shall be packed, packaged, marked and otherwise prepared for shipment in a manner that is: (a) (i) with respect to semiconductor, flat panel or microelectromechanical machine goods, in accordance with the then current Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) standards for such goods, and (ii) for all other goods, in accordance with good commercial practice; (b) acceptable to common carriers for shipment at the lowest rate for the particular goods and in accordance with I.C.C. and/or other applicable laws and regulations; (c) adequate to insure safe arrival of the goods at the named destination and for storage and protection against weather and temperature; and (d) free of charge to Buyer. An itemized packaging sheet must accompany each shipment.
  7. INSPECTION – All goods purchased hereunder shall be subject to inspection and test by Buyer at all times and places prior to acceptance. If inspection or test is made on Seller’s premises, Seller shall provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of Buyer’s inspectors without charge. Inspection may be performed on a statistical sampling basis. An entire lot or shipment may be rejected based on defects revealed by such sampling. At Buyer’s option, the rejected lot or shipment will either be returned to the Seller for replacement or credit or further screened by Buyer with cost of screening paid by Seller. No inspection or testing by Buyer shall relieve Seller from responsibility for defects or other failure to meet the requirements of Buyer’s Purchase Order. Records of all inspection work shall be kept complete by Seller and available to Buyer during the performance of Buyer’s Purchase Order and for five (5) years thereafter.
  8. WARRANTIES – (a) Seller represents and warrants that Seller has special skills and that Buyer is relying on those skills and the judgment of Seller to select and furnish suitable goods or services. All statements of Seller as to function, quality, suitability and use of the goods and services are deemed to be warranties of Seller. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer and Buyer’s customers that all goods, packaging and services provided under Buyer’s Purchase Order shall: (i) fully and strictly conform to all applicable representations and specifications (including any specifications provided by Buyer) and shall be of equal or better quality to the best sample provided to Buyer; and if Seller has any doubt about the specifications received from Buyer, or otherwise applicable to the goods or services, it shall be Seller’s responsibility to clarify such specifications; (ii) be free of defects in workmanship and design; (iii) be of good material and workmanship; (iv) be merchantable; (v) be compliant with the extension of Daylight Savings Time in 2007; (vi) be free of any liens, claims or encumbrances of any kind when delivered to Buyer; (vii) not infringe any patent, trade name, trademark, service mark, copyright or other proprietary right of any third party, and (viii) be produced in compliance with the requirements of Sections 6, 7 and 12 of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended from time to time, and the United States Department of Labor regulations issued under Section 14, as amended from time to time. Seller further represents and warrants that all weight, measures, sizes, legends or descriptions printed, stamped, attached or otherwise indicated with regard to the goods are true and correct and comply with all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes and/or standards relating to such goods. The foregoing warranties and all other warranties, express and implied, shall survive delivery, inspection, acceptance and payment by Buyer. The following remedies are in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity or under these Terms. (b) If any goods or services delivered hereunder do not meet the representations and warranties applicable under these Terms, Buyer may, at its option: (i) require Seller to correct at no cost to Buyer any defective or nonconforming goods or services by repair or replacement; (ii) reject the defective or non-conforming goods, return such defective or nonconforming goods at Seller’s expense to Seller and recover from Seller damages; (iii) correct the defective or nonconforming goods or services itself and/or by contract and charge Seller with the cost of such correction; and/or (iv) conditionally accept such goods with an equitable reduction in price. Buyer reserves the right to return such conditionally accepted goods for credit, within a reasonable period of time after receipt, if Buyer later determines that such goods are unsuitable for its purpose. Any goods which have been rejected or required to be corrected will be replaced or corrected by and at the expense of Seller promptly after notice. If, after being requested by Buyer, Seller fails to promptly replace or correct any defective goods within the delivery schedule, Buyer may (a) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct such goods and charge Seller with damages; (b) terminate Buyer’s Purchase Order or any portion thereof; and/or (c) utilize the defective goods and require an appropriate reduction in price. (c) Buyer’s approval of Seller’s material or design shall not relieve Seller of the warranties set forth in this clause, nor shall waiver by Buyer of any drawing or specification requirement for one or more of the goods constitute waiver of such requirements for the remaining goods to be delivered hereunder unless so stated by Buyer in writing. ANY ATTEMPT BY SELLER TO LIMIT, DISCLAIM OR RESTRICT ANY WARRANTIES OR REMEDIES OF BUYER UNDER THESE TERMS WOULD RESULT IN A MATERIAL ALTERATION OF THESE TERMS, MATERIALLY LOWER THE PRICE PAID BY BUYER UNDER BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER AND RESULT IN SURPRISE AND HARDSHIP TO BUYER.
  9. CHANGES – Buyer may, at anytime prior to shipment of the goods, by a written notice (and without notice to sureties or permitted assignees, if any), suspend or delay performance hereunder, increase or decrease the order quantities, or make changes within the general scope of Buyer’s Purchase Order in any one or more of the following: (a) applicable drawings, designs, or specifications (b) method of shipment or packing, and/or (c) place and date of delivery. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or time required for performance of Buyer’s Purchase Order, an equitable adjustment mutually agreed to by the parties shall be made in the Purchase Order price or delivery schedule, or both, and Buyer’s Purchase Order shall be modified in writing accordingly. No claim by Seller for adjustment hereunder shall be valid unless asserted within twenty (20) days from the date of receipt by Seller of the notification of change. Failure of Seller to assert a claim within such twenty (20) day period, as provided above, shall constitute an unconditional and absolute waiver by Seller of any right to make a claim for adjustment. Nothing in this clause shall excuse Seller from proceeding with the Purchase Order as changed or amended. Buyer reserves the right to verify claims hereunder, and Seller shall make available to Buyer upon its request all relevant books, records, inventories and facilities for inspection and audit by Buyer and/or its designee. In the event Seller fails to reasonably afford Buyer its right of inspection and audit, Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any claim asserted under this Section 9.
  10. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT – (a) Buyer may terminate Buyer’s Purchase Order in whole or in part upon notice if Seller: (i) fails to deliver goods or services on agreed delivery schedules; (ii) fails to replace or correct defective goods or services; (iii) fails to perform any of the other provisions of Buyer’s Purchase Order or fails to make progress so as to endanger performance in accordance with the terms hereof; (iv) becomes insolvent, admits its inability to pay its debts as they come due, files a voluntary petition of bankruptcy, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if a petition under any bankruptcy laws is filed against Seller or (v) makes any transfer in violation of Section 23.

(b) Within fifteen (15) business days from termination, Seller may submit to Buyer its written claim for termination charges, in the form and with the supporting data and detail requested by Buyer. Seller shall reasonably assess cost for raw materials, work in process, subassemblies and labor as may be included within its termination claim to determine whether or not such items may be used by Seller for the manufacture of associated products or diverted for any other purpose and to correspondingly reduce the value of its termination claim by the full list price of such products. No profit will be allowed if it appears that Seller would have sustained a loss on Buyer’s Purchase Order. In no event shall Seller be entitled to incidental or consequential damages, costs of preparing claims, attorneys’ fees, cost of tooling or equipment sales or agent commissions. Failure of Seller to assert a claim within such fifteen (15) business day period, as provided above, shall constitute an unconditional and absolute waiver by Seller of any right to make a claim for termination charges. Buyer reserves the right to verify claims hereunder, and Seller shall make available to Buyer or Buyer’s designee upon its written request all relevant books, records, inventories and facilities for its inspection and audit. In the event that Seller fails to fully afford Buyer its right of inspection and audit hereunder, Seller shall be deemed to have absolutely and irrevocably waived any claim asserted under this Section 11. This Section 11 shall not affect or impair any right of Buyer to terminate Buyer’s Purchase Order for Seller’s default.
  12. BUYER MATERIALS – Buyer shall retain title to any designs, sketches, drawings, blueprints, patterns, models, molds, tools, special appliances, and materials (a) furnished by or paid for by Buyer, (b) amortized in the unit price of items purchased by Buyer, and/or (c) with respect to equipment, necessary to perform maintenance (collectively, “Buyer’s Property”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller agrees that if Seller incorporates any Seller IP into any Development, Buyer is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license, including the right to sublicense, under any such Seller IP to make, have made, use, import, prepare derivative works of, reproduce, have reproduced, perform, display, offer to sell, sell, or otherwise distribute such invention, improvement, development, concept, discovery, or other proprietary information as part of or in connection with such Development.
