The terms and conditions contained in this P.O., together with any additions or revisions mutually agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer, will constitute the entire agreement and understanding of Seller and Buyer with respect to the purchase and sale of the Products and/or Services and will supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings relating thereto.

Each party will be responsible for payment of all governmental fees and taxes, if any, imposed upon such party with respect to this P.O. 

4. Delivery and Performance. Seller will deliver all Products to the place(s) and at the time(s) specified in this P.O. Seller will perform all Services at the place(s), in the manner and at the time(s) specified in this P.O. Time is of the essence with respect to delivery of Products and/or performance of Services under this P.O. Seller expressly acknowledges that Buyer may schedule operations and incur obligations to third parties in reliance on Seller's timely delivery and performance hereunder and that Buyer may sustain substantial losses by reason of any failure of Seller with respect thereto. In the event Seller is or will be unable to timely deliver Products and/or perform Services under this P.O., it will immediately notify Buyer of same. In such event, or the event that Products are not timely delivered and/or Services are not timely performed under this P.O., without prejudice to any other rights of Buyer relating thereto, Seller will provide expedited delivery and/or performance as requested by Buyer at Seller's sole expense. At Buyer's option, any Products delivered prior to scheduled date of delivery under this P.O. may be (a) returned by Buyer to Seller, at Seller's risk and expense, or (b) retained by Buyer until the scheduled delivery date, at Seller's risk, or (c) accepted by Buyer in accordance with Paragraph 7 below. 

5. Packing and Shipment. Unless preferred packing method is noted in this P.O., all Products will be packaged and packed for shipment in a manner suitable for optimum protection, handling and storage of the Products and for shipment to secure the lowest practicable transportation and insurance rates consistent with timely delivery and carrier's requirements. Unless otherwise specified in this P.O., Seller will ship by the most appropriate method. Each Products shipment will be accompanied by a separate packing sheet describing the Products shipped and each delivered container will be labeled and marked to identify contents without opening. All Seller documentation relating to this P.O. will bear the Purchase Order Number appearing on the face of this P.O. Products shipped C.O.D. without Seller's prior written consent will not be accepted. 

6. Risk of Loss and Destruction of Goods. All risk of loss or damage in connection with Products delivered to Buyer hereunder will be borne by Seller until such time as Buyer has accepted such Products in accordance with Paragraph 7 below, provided, that such risk of loss or damage will continue to be borne by Seller with respect to any Products with respect to which Buyer has revoked its acceptance hereunder. Title to Products will pass to Buyer upon receipt of the Products at the designated destination. If the Products ordered are destroyed prior to title passing to Buyer, Buyer may, at its option, cancel the P.O. or require delivery of substitute Products of equal quantity and quality. Such delivery will be made as soon as commercially practicable. If loss of Products is partial, Buyer will have the right, at its option, to require delivery of Product not destroyed. 

7. Inspection and Acceptance. All Products and/or Services (including their components and the facilities at which they are produced or performed) will be subject to inspection and testing by Buyer prior to acceptance by Buyer. Seller will permit access to Seller's facilities at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice for inspection of Products and/or Services by Buyer's agents or employees and will provide such assistance as may be reasonably necessary for such inspection, at no additional cost to Buyer. Any and all Products and Services will be received by Buyer subject to Buyer's rights of final inspection and testing after such receipt, notwithstanding any payment or prior inspections by Buyer. Except as otherwise specified in writing, acceptance or rejection of Services will be determined on the basis of results, not effort. Buyer's written acceptance is the sole effective method of acceptance; in no event will payment, use of a portion of the Products for the purpose of testing or any indication of acceptance (other than written acceptance) expressed or implied by law, trade usage or course of dealing be deemed to constitute acceptance. Neither payment for nor acceptance of any Products or Services by Buyer will waive or relieve Seller from any of Seller's obligations and warranties hereunder. If any Products fail to meet any aspect of Seller's warranties with respect thereto or otherwise breach the terms and conditions specified in this P.O., Buyer will have the right, at its sole option, to reject or conditionally accept such Products and any other Products included in the same shipment. Upon conditional acceptance of any Products by Buyer, Buyer will have the option of either: (a) notifying Seller of such conditional acceptance, whereupon Seller will promptly take, at Seller's sole expense, any and all steps or actions necessary or appropriate to cure the nonconformity or defect to the satisfaction of Buyer, and upon any failure by Seller promptly to take such steps or actions or satisfactorily to cure such nonconformity or defect, Buyer will have the right to revoke its conditional acceptance and reject such Products; or (b) undertaking itself, at Seller's sole expense, any actions or steps which in Buyer's judgment will cure such nonconformity or defect, but a failure by Buyer to take such actions or steps or to effect such a cure will in no way prejudice, impair or operate to defeat in any way Buyer's rights to revoke its conditional acceptance and reject such Products nor will any such actions or steps by Buyer in any way invalidate any of Seller's warranties with respect to such Products. Any and all Products rejected by Buyer will be held at Seller's sole risk and expense subject to Seller's prompt advice of disposition, if any, and upon notice of such rejection from Buyer, Seller will, if so requested by Buyer, promptly correct or replace such Products at Seller's expense. Buyer may not be required to accept replacements or substitutes for or permit cure of any defects or nonconformities in any Products rightfully rejected hereunder. Unless otherwise instructed, Buyer may, and at Seller's direction will, return and charge back to Seller any and all rejected Products, Seller alone to bear all risk and charges and expenses related thereto, including, without limitation, transportation and handling costs related to both such return and the original delivery by Buyer. Any nonconforming Services provided under this P.O., including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, will be considered defective, and Seller will, as requested by Buyer, promptly correct such defective Services at Seller's sole expense; provided, however, that nothing in this P.O. will be deemed to require Buyer to permit cure for any defective Services. The acceptance of any installment of an installment contract will not be deemed acceptance of the whole. Acceptance of any single tender of a specific Product or Service will not be deemed to be an acceptance of subsequent tender of similar Products or Services, even if such subsequent tender is identical in all respects. In no event will Buyer bear the risk of loss or damage with respect to any Products until Buyer's unconditional acceptance thereof. 

8. Revocation of Acceptance. Buyer will have the right to revoke its acceptance of and reject any and all Products and/or Services which fail to meet any aspect of any warranty set forth in this P.O. or of any other term and condition of this P.O., where such failure becomes known to Buyer only after Buyer's acceptance of such Products and/or Services and was not reasonably discoverable by Buyer prior thereto. Buyer's rights and remedies, with respect to and as a result of any such rejection, will be the same as if Buyer had rejected such Products and/or Services prior to Buyer's acceptance thereof. 

9. Stop Work, Cancellation or Termination. If Seller breaches or fails to comply fully with any of the terms and conditions of this P.O. or its obligations hereunder, or breaches any warranty of Seller contained in this P.O. or arising in connection herewith, or becomes unable to conduct its normal business operations (including inability to meet its obligations as they mature), or becomes the subject of any dispute with a labor organization involving or affecting Buyer, Buyer will have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately cancel or terminate this P.O., in whole or in such part as Buyer in its sole discretion may deem expedient, without any liability to Buyer whatsoever except with respect to Products previously delivered and Services previously rendered to and accepted by Buyer in accordance with the terms of this P.O., the amount of any such liability to be governed by and determined in accordance with the terms of this P.O. This P.O. will automatically terminate if Seller becomes insolvent or a receiver is appointed for Seller's business or properties, or if any petition is filed by or against Seller under any provisions of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. Buyer will also have the right to (a) delay, for a reasonable period of time, any and all delivery and/or performance dates under this P.O. or (b) otherwise terminate or cancel this P.O. in whole or in part at any time, in each case upon at least seven (7) days prior written notice to Seller. Upon any termination or cancellation of this P.O. by Buyer, (x) Seller will immediately discontinue performance hereunder and will use its best efforts to mitigate costs and damages resulting therefrom, and (y) the amount payable by Buyer to Seller will be equitably adjusted provided that such adjustment will not include any allowance to Seller for Products or Services not received by Buyer, unabsorbed overhead or anticipated profits. Upon any termination or cancellation of this P.O., Seller will promptly return to Purchaser any and all advance payments made by Buyer with respect to Products or Services rejected or not received by Buyer, with interest thereon for the period during which Seller held such advance payments at the annual rate of interest announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York, as its prime or base rate. All warranties of Seller in this P.O., Buyer's rights under Paragraph 10, the indemnification provisions of Paragraph 18 and the confidentiality provisions of Paragraph 20 each will survive any cancellation or termination of this P.O. 

10. Buyer's Rights Upon Default. Upon any default or breach by Seller described in Paragraph 9 above, without prejudice to any other right Buyer may have, Buyer will have the right, without prior notice to Seller, at Buyer's option immediately (a) to suspend payment to Seller in whole or in part until such default or breach is cured and (b) to cover by contracting to purchase goods and/or services, by making any reasonable purchase of goods and/or services, or by taking such other action as is, in the sole judgment of Buyer, necessary, reasonable, expedient or beneficial, and Seller will pay and be liable for any and all costs, expenses or damages, including without limitation, incidental and consequential expenses or damages, arising out of, or incurred by Buyer in connection with, such action without regard to any expenses Buyer saved or may have saved in consequence of Seller's default or breach.

Further, Seller represents and warrants that the performance of Services under this P.O. will not conflict with, or be prohibited in any way by, any other agreement or statutory restriction to which Seller is bound. Each of the foregoing warranties of Seller will survive delivery and/or performance and will not be deemed waived by reason of Buyer's inspection or acceptance of, or any payment for, any Products or Services, and will extend to Buyer, its assignees and/or other transferees. Such warranties of Seller will be in addition to, and will not limit in any way, any warranties of additional scope given by Seller or arising by law. Seller will make available to Buyer in full any and all warranty benefits relating to Products and/or Services (or any component thereof) available to Seller from its suppliers and subcontractors. 

12. Compliance with Applicable Law. Seller warrants that its production, manufacture, packaging, sale, distribution, installation and pricing of any and all Products and its performance and pricing of any and all Services are in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and ordinances, including, but not limited to, any environmental law related to contamination by, or the release or threat of release of, any hazardous or toxic substance, waste or pollutant into any environmental medium and any United States export restrictions (if applicable).

Seller will hold harmless and indemnify Buyer, its affiliates, successors, assigns and customers (and their respective employees, directors and officers), and users of any Products and recipients of any Services, from any and all expenses, liabilities and loss of any kind (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with any charges, claims, suits or actions alleging any such infringement or violation; provided that the foregoing will not apply in cases where (a) Seller's compliance with specifications prescribed by and originating with Buyer constitutes the sole basis of such charge, claim, suit or action, (b) Seller has informed Buyer thereof as soon as practicable and (c) Buyer has been given a reasonable opportunity to take complete control of the defense or settlement thereof. 

14. Intellectual Property Rights. All materials, service deliverables, plans, data, designs, specifications, ideas, work papers, reports, artwork, ad copy, computer programs, software, inventions, discoveries, processes or other items of any nature whatsoever developed, created, produced, received and/or distributed by Seller in connection with the delivery of Products or Services under this P.O., whether or not patentable or copyrightable and whether or not reduced to writing or other physical form, excluding standard Products manufactured by Seller and sold to Buyer without having been designed, customized or modified for Buyer (collectively, "Work Product"), will be the sole and exclusive property of Buyer; will be deemed Buyer's Confidential Information for the purposes of Paragraph 20 below; and may be used by Buyer (in whole or in part) in such manner as Buyer may determine, in its sole discretion. Seller will promptly disclose all Work Product to Buyer. All copyrightable Work Product will be treated as a work-for-hire.

Seller expressly agrees that any immunity or exclusivity of any labor, workers' compensation or other similar statute as relates to Seller shall not limit or preclude the foregoing obligations of Seller to indemnify Buyer.

Coverage shall be maintained insuring Seller and Buyer against all liabilities including (without limitation) Claims asserted by or on behalf of Seller's employees, invitees, officers, owners, directors, contractors, subcontractors, or agents.

Each policy (except workers' compensation) shall contain a "cross-liability" clause which shall have the affect of insuring each person, firm or corporation insured hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as if a separate policy had been issued to each.

Each party will promptly return to the other upon request any Confidential Information and other documents and materials of the other party then in its possession or under its control, provided that in the event of termination by Buyer pursuant to Paragraph 9 above, Buyer will be entitled to retain such Confidential Information, documents and materials of Seller for purposes of Paragraph 10 above. Buyer and Seller further agree that except as required by law, they will not publicly announce or otherwise disclose the terms of this P.O. without the express prior written consent of the other.

Any subcontractor approved by Buyer in accordance with this Paragraph 22 will be required to execute a written acknowledgement that it has read and will abide by the terms and conditions of this P.O. as if such subcontractor were a Seller party hereto. 

23. Remedies. All remedies available to either party for breach of this P.O. are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately. The exercise of one remedy will not be deemed an election of such remedy to the exclusion of other remedies.

25. Limitations of Buyer's Liability. Liability of Buyer in connection herewith will be limited to, and Seller's sole and exclusive remedy hereunder will be, an action for the purchase price of Products and Services delivered to and accepted by Buyer as provided in this P.O., subject to any and all Buyer's rights of adjustment or setoff as provided in this P.O. In no event will such liability of Buyer exceed the total purchase price indicated on the face of this P.O. or elsewhere in this P.O. BUYER WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO SELLER FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BASED ON BREACH OR DEFAULT UNDER THIS P.O.

27. Waiver. Buyer will not be deemed to have waived any provision of this P.O., or any breach by Seller of any provision of this P.O., unless specifically set forth in writing and executed by an authorized officer of Buyer. No waiver by Buyer of any provision of this P.O. or any breach by Seller hereunder will constitute a waiver of such provision on any other occasion or a waiver of any other breach by Seller. 

28. Force Majeure. Each party will promptly notify the other upon becoming aware that a Force Majeure Event (as defined below) has occurred and will use its reasonable best efforts to minimize any resulting delay in or interference with the performance of its obligations hereunder. If such performance is not resumed within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the other party may terminate this P.O. by written notice to the nonperforming party. For purposes of this P.O., "Force Majeure Event" means, with respect to either party, any strike or other labor dispute, riot, war, act of terrorism, any natural disaster, fire, explosion, act of government or governmental agency or instrumentality, or other contingency beyond the reasonable control of either party which in any such case interferes with or prevents the fulfillment by such party of its obligations hereunder.
