McCROMETER, INC.’S STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Rev. 1.5, December 16, 2020

SECTION 1: PRODUCT SALES AND FIELD SERVICES

ARTICLE 1: THE CONTRACT

This document sets forth the Terms & Conditions of Sale for goods manufactured and/or supplied, and services provided, by McCrometer, Inc. of Hemet, California (“McCrometer”) and sold to the original purchaser thereof (“Buyer”). Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, the term “McCrometer” includes only McCrometer, Inc. and none of its affiliates. The Contract shall be comprised of the following terms, together with such terms and conditions set forth in McCrometer’s written proposal or quotation (the “Quotation”), including any documents, drawing or specifications incorporated by reference, and any additional or different terms proposed in Buyer’s purchase order (the “Purchase Order”) that are accepted by McCrometer in writing, which together shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all previous communications, representations or agreements, either oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. These terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.

ARTICLE 2: APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
An offer by McCrometer in its Quotation that does not stipulate an acceptance date is not binding. These Terms & Conditions of Sale are contained directly and/or by reference in McCrometer’s quote, order acknowledgment, and invoice documents. The first of the following acts constitutes an acceptance of McCrometer’s offer and not a counteroffer, and creates a contract of sale (“Contract”) in accordance with these Terms & Conditions: (i) Buyer’s issuance of a purchase order document against McCrometer’s offer or quote; (ii) acknowledgement of Buyer’s order by McCrometer; or (iii) commencement of any performance by McCrometer pursuant to Buyer’s order. Provisions contained in Buyer’s purchase documents (including electronic commerce interfaces) that materially alter, add to or subtract from the provisions of these Terms & Conditions of Sale are expressly not a part of the Contract. The Contract shall be deemed to have been entered into upon written acknowledgement of the Purchase Order by an officer or authorized representative of the party to be bound. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of these standard terms and conditions, on the one hand, and specific provisions of Purchase Orders which are accepted by McCrometer in writing, on the other hand, the provisions of these terms and conditions shall govern the resolution of any such conflict or inconsistency, unless expressly agreed to otherwise in writing and signed by McCrometer. No representations or statements of any kind made by any representative of McCrometer, which are not stated herein, shall be binding on McCrometer. No course of dealing or usage of trade or course of performance shall be relevant to explain, supplement, or determine the meaning of any term or provision expressed in these terms and conditions or any Purchase Order.

ARTICLE 3: PRICE
Unless requested by Buyer, and included in the Quotation prices or stated in the Purchase Order accepted by McCrometer, prices do not include: packing for storage, freight charges, insurance, taxes (federal, local, or otherwise), customs duties and import/export fees, or any other item not specified in the Quotation, and shall be paid by Buyer. Buyer shall pay any sales, use or other taxes and duties imposed on the transaction or equipment. Prices are subject to change pursuant to Articles 4, 8 and 9 below. The terms of any Purchase Order and pricing information disclosed to Buyer shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of authorized officer or representative of McCrometer (see Articles 14 & 18 for details).

ARTICLE 4: PAYMENT TERMS
Terms of payment will be determined after a review of Buyer’s credit history, unless Buyer already has an account with McCrometer. Payment shall be due within 30 days of the date of McCrometer’s invoice in U.S. funds. The parties agree that in the event of any breach of this ARTICLE, McCrometer’s damages suffered would be difficult to calculate. Therefore, at the sole option of McCrometer, Buyer shall be charged a late fee payable upon McCrometer’s demand on amounts not paid by Buyer when due, including, without limitation, any and all amounts as to which due dates for payment thereof have been accelerated by McCrometer upon Buyer’s default, or for any other reason, which shall be equivalent to the interest rate on any and all such amounts at the lower of: (1) one and one‐half percent (1.5%) per month, or (2) the highest rate of interest then permitted by applicable law as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, which is the parties’ reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the foreseeable losses that might result from the breach.

If payment from Buyer is not received in a reasonable time, other Purchase Orders placed by Buyer shall be subject to hold, and will release McCrometer of any further obligation of performance or timely delivery. Orders that exceed $50,000 U.S. Dollars are subject to 30% down payment; the remaining balance is contingent on credit review. Buyer hereby grants McCrometer a security interest in and to all products, parts, accessories, tools, equipment and materials which may be sold and/or furnished by McCrometer to Buyer, and in all proceeds and products of the foregoing. Buyer authorizes McCrometer to file any financing or continuation statements to perfect such security interest without the signature of Buyer to the extent permitted by applicable law. Such security interest is in addition to any rights McCrometer might have pursuant to applicable Materialmen’s Lien, Mechanic’s Lien, Construction Lien or comparable statutes.

Funds Transfers (Payments): Buyer and McCrometer both recognize that there is a risk of banking fraud when individuals impersonating a business demand payment under new banking or mailing instructions. To avoid this risk, Buyer must verbally confirm any new or changed bank transfer or mailing instructions by calling McCrometer at +1-951-652-6811 and speaking with McCrometer’s Credit Manager before mailing or transferring any monies using the new instructions. Both parties agree that they will not institute mailing or bank transfer instruction changes and require immediate payment under the new instructions but will instead provide a ten (10) day grace period to verify any payment instruction changes before any new or outstanding payments are due using the new instructions.

ARTICLE 5: TITLE, DELIVERY AND INSURANCE
All products sold or licensed, including all equipment, parts, manuals, and related materials required for installation and/or use thereof, shall be FCA Seller’s Premises, Hemet, California USA (Incoterms 2010) and all repair or replacement parts may, at McCrometer’s option, be FCA McCrometer’s designated repair/manufacturing facilities (Incoterms 2010). International deliveries shall be ExWorks Seller’s Premises (Incoterms 2010), unless specified otherwise at the time of Quotation and is included in the Quotation/Purchase Order amount. Full risk of loss (including transportation delays and losses) shall pass to Buyer, regardless of whether title has been passed to Buyer, transport is arranged or supervised by McCrometer, or start‐up is carried out under the direction or supervision of McCrometer. Loss or destruction of the equipment or injury or damage to the equipment that occurs while risk of such loss or damage is born by Buyer does not relieve Buyer of its obligation to pay McCrometer for the equipment.

MCCROMETER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGES OR EXPENSE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES LOSS OF USE, OR OTHERWISE, WHATSOEVER INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY BUYER OR BUYER’S CUSTOMERS IF MCCROMETER FAILS TO MEET ANY SPECIFIED DELIVERY SCHEDULE.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, McCrometer shall not be responsible for any such delay, damages, expenses, or losses caused by circumstances outside McCrometer’s control. To the extent that any cause beyond the reasonable control of McCrometer results in an actual delay in deliveries or the performance of services on the part of McCrometer as herein provided, the time for performance by McCrometer shall be extended for a period of time at least equal to the period of delay plus a reasonable period of time thereafter in order to permit McCrometer to take steps which McCrometer deems to be necessary or appropriate to complete performance.

ARTICLE 6: LATE RELEASE FOR DELIVERY; PRICE ADJUSTMENT
All quotations and resulting Purchase Order/Agreements are based upon the Buyer’s release for delivery of Goods on the Delivery Date as stated on the quotation and/or Purchase Order. If the Buyer delays the release for delivery beyond the agreed Delivery Date through no fault of McCrometer, such delay shall be deemed a change order to the quotation and/or Purchase Order by Buyer and will result in a price adjustment to the Purchase Order. Such price adjustment shall be in an amount to compensate McCrometer for the storage, safety and insurance of the Goods for the duration of the delayed delivery acceptance by Buyer. Such price adjustment shall be agreed to by both Parties prior to shipment.

ARTICLE 7: PATENT OR TRADEMARK INFORMATION
If the equipment sold hereunder is to be prepared or manufactured according to Buyer’s specifications, Buyer shall indemnify and hold McCrometer harmless from any claims or liability for patent or trademark infringement on account of the sale of such goods.

Subject to all limitations of liability provided herein, McCrometer will, with respect to any Products of McCrometer’s design or manufacture, indemnify Buyer from any and all damages and costs as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any suit for infringement of any U.S. patent (or European patent for Products that McCrometer sells to Buyer for end use in a member state of the E.U.) that has issued as of the delivery date, solely by reason of the sale or normal use of any Products sold to Buyer hereunder and from reasonable expenses incurred by Buyer in defense of such suit if McCrometer does not undertake the defense thereof, provided that Buyer promptly notifies McCrometer of such suit and offers McCrometer either (i) full and exclusive control of the defense of such suit when Products of McCrometer only are involved, or (ii) the right to participate in the defense of such suit when products other than those of McCrometer are also involved. McCrometer’s warranty as to use patents only applies to infringement arising solely out of the inherent operation of the Products according to their applications as envisioned by McCrometer’s specifications. In case the Products are in such suit held to constitute infringement and the use of the Products is enjoined, McCrometer will, at its own expense and at its option, either procure for Buyer the right to continue using such Products or replace them with non-infringing products, or modify them so they become non-infringing, or remove the Products and refund the purchase price (prorated for depreciation) and the transportation costs thereof. The foregoing states the entire liability of McCrometer for patent infringement by the Products. Further, to the same extent as set forth in McCrometer’s above obligation to Buyer, Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless McCrometer for patent infringement related to (1) any goods manufactured to the Buyer’s design, (2) services provided in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions, or (3) McCrometer’s Products when used in combination with any other devices, parts or software not provided by McCrometer hereunder.

Buyer agrees not to remove or alter any indicia of manufacturing origin or patent numbers contained on or within the Products, including without limitation the serial numbers or trademarks on nameplates or cast, molded or machined components.

ARTICLE 8: CHANGES
Buyer may request, in writing, changes in the design, drawings, specifications, shipping instructions and schedules of the equipment. Charges for change requests will be quoted to and paid by Buyer on an item‐by‐item basis, with a minimum charge of $550.00 (five hundred fifty dollars) for any change request. Such changes will be implemented only upon receipt of a new or amended Purchase Order, acceptance of which by McCrometer will constitute Buyer’s agreement to pay all such additional charges and Buyer shall be solely responsible and liable for all consequences which may result from such changes, including, without limitation, delays in completing delivery.

ARTICLE 9: CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION
Buyer has the right to cancel the Contract upon fifteen (15) days written notice to McCrometer; and such cancellation is effective only upon the written acknowledgement and authorization of McCrometer. Cancellation of a Purchase Order shall not relieve Buyer of payment under the Contract. McCrometer’s receipt of the cancellation notice shall be given to Buyer in writing, and Buyer shall pay McCrometer upon the following schedule: 20% of total Purchase Price if the order has entered Engineering; 75% of the total Purchase Price if McCrometer has ordered/received materials to produce Buyers equipment; 100% of the total Purchase Price if cancellation occurs after completion of the order.

ARTICLE 10: PED DOCUMENT TRANSLATION
For orders requiring PED certification, the importer is responsible for providing the translation of documentation into the local language of the final destination per PED 2014\68\EU. Mccrometer is not responsible for the translation of documentation into languages other than English unless specifically included as a line item on the purchase order, and the purchaser agrees to make such translations available whenever required/requested.

Prices do not include any charges for services such as insurance; brokerage fees; sales, use, inventory or excise taxes; import or export duties; special financing fees; VAT, income or royalty taxes imposed outside the U.S.; consular fees; special permits or licenses; or other charges imposed upon the production, sale, distribution, or delivery of Products. Buyer will either pay any and all such charges or provide McCrometer with acceptable exemption certificates, which obligation survives performance under this Contract. Buyer is prohibited from setting off any and all monies owed under this from any other sums, whether liquidated or not, that are or may be due Buyer, which arise out of a different transaction with McCrometer or any of its affiliates.

ARTICLE 12: FORCE MAJEURE
McCrometer is excused from performance of obligations under this Contract to the extent caused by acts or omissions that are beyond its control, including but not limited to Government embargoes, blockages, seizures or freeze of assets, delays or refusals to grant an export or import license or the suspension or revocation thereof, or any other acts of any Government; fires, floods, severe weather conditions, or any other acts of God; quarantines; labor strikes or lockouts; riots; strife; insurrections; civil disobedience or acts of criminals or terrorists; war; material shortages or delays in deliveries to McCrometer by third parties. In the event of the existence of any force majeure circumstances, the period of time for delivery, payment terms and payments under any letters of credit will be extended for a period of time equal to the period of delay. If the force majeure circumstances extend for six months, McCrometer may, at its option, terminate this Contract without penalty and without being deemed in default or in breach thereof.

ARTICLE 13: STANDARD WARRANTY; WARRANTY PERIOD
Unless a particular product has a different Warranty Period in its documentation, McCrometer warrants that the equipment or services supplied will be free from defects in material, and workmanship for a period 12 months from the date the equipment was first installed, but in no event longer than 18 months from the date the equipment was first shipped by McCrometer. Repairs shall be warranted for 12 months or, if the repair is performed under this warranty, for the remainder of the original warranty period, whichever is less.

McCrometer shall, at its sole option, repair the equipment or furnish replacement equipment or parts thereof, at the original delivery point.

If Buyer or others repair, replace, or adjust equipment or parts without McCrometer prior written approval, McCrometer is relieved of any further obligation to Buyer under this Article with respect to such equipment.

Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event the Data Delivery Services are not accessible by Customer at least ninety-five (95%) percent of the time during three (3) consecutive months of any term. Should McCrometer contract with third parties for the provision of Services to Customer, the term shall continue for the length of any such third party contracts. Except as otherwise provided for herein, either party may terminate this Agreement upon the material breach of the other party, if such breach remains uncured for thirty (30) days following written notice to the breaching party. The foregoing notwithstanding, McCrometer may terminate immediately upon Customer’s breach of Sections 28, 29, 30, 33 or 34.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, all rights to access the Data Delivery Services and Customer’s Web Page terminate. McCrometer shall have no obligation to refund to Customer any Fees and any unpaid Fees shall immediately be due and payable upon termination. The foregoing notwithstanding, should either party terminate due to the unavailability of the Data Delivery Services as provided in this Section 5 above, Customer shall not be obligated to pay Fees for the pertinent months and if already paid, McCrometer agrees to refund to Customer Fees paid during the period of unavailability. The foregoing shall be McCrometer’s sole obligation and Customer’s exclusive remedy. McCrometer may destroy all backup and stored Customer Data within thirty (30) days of the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement for cause shall not limit McCrometer from pursuing other remedies available to it, including equitable relief, nor shall such termination relieve Customer of its payment obligations hereunder.
