PURCHASE ORDER TERMS AND CONDITION

1. Agreement

This Purchase Order (“PO”) is an offer to purchase by Gyrus ACMI, Inc., or its direct or indirect subsidiary identified on the front of this PO (“Buyer”), to Seller and becomes a binding contract subject to the terms hereof when accepted by acknowledgment or commencement of performance by Seller. This PO is subject to withdrawal at any time prior to the communication of acceptance to Buyer by Seller. Acceptance of this PO is limited to acceptance of Buyer’s terms and conditions set forth in this PO and such terms and conditions shall constitute the entire agreement related to the purchase of the goods or services ordered on the face hereof. Buyer rejects any terms inconsistent herewith and to any additional terms proposed by Seller in accepting or acknowledging this PO and such terms shall not become a part of this PO, unless accepted in writing by Buyer. Neither Buyer’s subsequent lack of objection to any such terms, nor the acceptance of goods or services ordered hereunder, shall constitute or be deemed to be acceptance by Buyer to such terms. Seller may not assign this PO without Buyer’s written consent.

2. Modification; Cancellation

If this PO is for non-customized goods, Buyer may change or cancel this PO prior to delivery without charge or penalty, upon written notice to Seller. If this PO is for customized goods, Buyer may not change or cancel this PO, without cause, unless Buyer agrees to pay the reasonable, unrecoverable charges incurred by Seller to perform this PO prior to cancellation. Any claim by Seller for such charges must be made within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of receipt by Seller of such change and is subject to negotiation with Buyer. In the event of any such cancellation, Seller shall stop work on and terminate all subcontracts under this PO. The amount of such costs which may be recovered from Buyer shall be established by negotiations between Buyer and Seller, conducted by each of the respective parties in good faith and shall include only Seller’s actual costs incurred up to the date of termination. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event shall Buyer’s liability to Seller hereunder exceed the purchase price set forth in the PO. Seller shall make available to Buyer for inspection all inventory included in the claim and all books and records related to the claimed costs. Upon satisfaction of any claim, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any and all articles, works-in-process, data, software or other goods included in Seller’s claim.

The remedies provided herein with respect to any cancellation for convenience are exclusive and in lieu of any other remedies available at law or equity.

No change, modification or revision to this PO shall be valid and binding unless in writing and signed by the authorized representative of Buyer.

To that end, Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to maintain a sufficient inventory of raw materials and component parts necessary to produce the goods based on the blanket PO to ensure prompt fulfilment of blanket PO releases, but with the understanding that Buyer shall have no obligation to purchase any quantities of goods during the term unless and until Buyer shall have issued a blanket PO release. In addition, Seller will not make any changes to the goods based on the blanket PO without Buyer’s prior written approval. All requested changes must be made on Buyer’s supplier notification form. “Changes” shall mean any proposed changes, improvements, enhancements, alterations, modifications, upgrades, new generations, and substitutions to or of the goods or the goods’ labeling, or otherwise relating to the form, fit, function, safety, efficacy, or appearance of the goods.
