Where applicable the term "goods" shall be replaced with "services" for the purposes of this document.
- 1. ACCEPTANCE: The Seller has read and understands this order and agrees that Seller's written acceptance or any work or service under this order shall constitute Seller's acceptance of these terms and conditions only. All terms and conditions proposed by Seller which are different from or in addition to this order are unacceptable to Buyer, are expressly rejected by Buyer and shall not become a part of this order. Any modification to this order shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 24.
- 2. INSPECTION AND PAYMENT: Seller agrees that Buyer shall have the right to enter Seller's facility at reasonable times to inspect the facility, goods, materials, and any property of Buyer covered by this order. Buyer's inspection of goods, whether during manufacture, prior to delivery or within reasonable time after delivery, shall not constitute acceptance of any work in progress or finished goods, nor shall payment of the goods or services constitute acceptance. Unless otherwise provided, all terms of payment shall be ninety (90) days from receipt of a proper invoice. Acceptance shall be defined as when Buyer's warranty expires with Buyer's customer.
- 3. NON-CONFORMING GOODS: To the extent the Buyer rejects goods as non-conforming, the quantities under this order will automatically be reduced unless Buyer otherwise notifies Seller. Seller will not replace quantities so reduced without a new order or schedule from Buyer. Nonconforming goods will be held by Buyer for disposition in accordance with Seller's instructions at Seller's risk. Seller's failure to provide written instructions within five (5) days, or such shorter periods as may be commercially reasonable under the circumstances, after receiving notification of non-conforming goods shall entitle Buyer, at Buyer's option to charge Seller for storage and handling or to dispose of the goods without liability to Buyer. Payment for non-conforming goods shall not constitute an acceptance thereof, limit or impair Buyer's right to assert any legal or equitable remedy or relieve Seller's responsibility for latent defects.

Seller agrees to properly pack, mark, and ship goods in accordance with written instructions from the Buyer. Delivery shall be made both in quantities and at the time specified in Buyer's schedules. Buyers shall not be required to make payment for goods delivered to the Buyer which are in excess of quantities specified in Buyer's schedule. Buyer may change the rate of scheduled shipments or direct temporary suspension of scheduled shipments, neither of which shall entitle Seller to a modification of the price of goods or services covered by this order. 5. WARRANTY: Seller expressly warrants that all goods or services covered by this order will conform to the specifications, and descriptions furnished to us or by the Buyer, and will be merchantable, of good material and workmanship, and free from defect.

Seller grants Buyer an irrevocable option to take possession of a title to the "tools" that are special for the production of the goods. Upon termination the Buyer will pay only the present value less any amount the Buyer has previously paid to Seller for the cost of the "tools". However this option shall not apply if such "tools" are used to produce goods that are the standard stock of Seller or if a substantial quantity of the goods are being sold by Seller to others. Replacement tools shall be at the Sellers expense unless otherwise specified. The Buyer shall be notified annually of all replacement tool expenses planned.
