GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

In these General Terms and Conditions of Purchase, Buyer shall mean:

Ampleon Netherlands B.V., a Dutch Corporation, incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands.

1. AGREEMENT.

These general terms and conditions of purchase (“Terms and Conditions”) shall govern and form an integral part of all agreements entered into and for all purchase orders placed by Buyer for the supply of goods and/or services by your company (hereafter referred to as "Supplier"). Each such agreement or purchase order shall be referred to herein as the "Agreement". As used herein, the term "goods" shall include both tangible and intangible goods, including software, service requirements, spare parts and any related software and/or documentation that may accompany the goods. Reference to "goods" shall where appropriate be deemed to include services.

The term “Affiliate” of Buyer or Supplier shall mean any entity or person which: (i) is Controlled by Buyer or Seller; or (ii) Controls Buyer or Seller; or (iii) is under common Control Buyer or Seller. For this purpose, “Control” means that more than fifty percent (50%) of the

controlled entity’s shares or ownership interest representing the right to make decisions for such entity are owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the controlling entity. An entity is considered an Affiliate only so long as such ownership or control exists.

These Terms and Conditions shall constitute all the terms and conditions of any Agreement between Buyer and Supplier relating to the purchase by Buyer and sale by Supplier of goods unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing by Buyer. Any terms and conditions set forth on any document or documents issued by Supplier either before or after issuance of any document by Buyer setting forth or referring to these Terms and Conditions are hereby explicitly rejected and disregarded by Buyer, and any such terms and conditions shall be wholly inapplicable to any purchase made by Buyer and shall not be binding in any way on Buyer. No Agreement constitutes an acceptance by Buyer of any other terms and conditions and Buyer does not intend to enter into an agreement other than under these Terms and Conditions. Any changes in these terms and/or the Agreement must be specifically agreed to by Buyer in writing.

Any purchase order of Buyer is expressly made conditional on Supplier’s assent to all of the terms contained in the purchase order without deviation. Acceptance by Supplier of a purchase order may be evidenced by (i) Supplier’s written or verbal assent or the written or verbal assent of any representative of Supplier, (ii) Supplier’s delivery of the goods, or (iii) other conduct by Supplier or any representative of Supplier consistent with acceptance of the purchase order.

2. TIMING, CHARGES, REPORTING, AND RIGHT TO AUDIT.

Time is of the essence for the purposes of Supplier’s obligations under the Agreement. In the event Supplier for any reason anticipates any difficulty in complying with any agreed delivery date or otherwise in accordance with any requirement of the Agreement, Supplier shall promptly notify Buyer in writing. Supplier shall use its best efforts to accommodate any reasonable request by Buyer to reschedule confirmed delivery dates, or to change other parts of any Agreement. Upon Buyer’s request Supplier shall without delay provide information in writing concerning the status of any order, shipments due and payments and such other items relating to the business flow between Supplier and Buyer as Buyer may request. Supplier undertakes to inform Buyer immediately when it anticipates constraints on its capacity to supply goods as ordered by Buyer, in which case Supplier will provide suitable assurances to Buyer that its requirements will be adequately serviced.

Supplier and its subcontractors shall keep accurate records and books of accounting showing all charges and related expenses incurred in the services hereunder. Said records shall be maintained in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles and procedures. Buyer shall have the right to inspect such records and perform audits for three (3) years from the date of delivery, on Supplier’s or its subcontractors’ premises during business hours, or to assign said audits to outside parties. 

3. DELIVERY.

All goods shall be delivered Delivery Duty Paid ("DDP", latest version of Incoterms as issued by ICC, Paris, France) and risk and title to the goods (free and clear of any encumbrances) shall pass to Buyer on delivery, unless expressly otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer. Supplier shall make no deliveries before the agreed delivery date(s) and Buyer shall not be liable for any costs caused by or related to production, installation, assembly, commissioning or any other work related to such goods prior to delivery, except as explicitly agreed to by Buyer. Where the Agreement provides for installation, commissioning or any other work to be carried out by Supplier such work shall be executed with good workmanship and using proper materials. As a minimum requirement, such goods shall comply with all applicable quality and certification standards. Supplier shall pack, mark and ship the goods in such manner as to prevent damage during transport and which facilitates unloading, handling and storage. For all software, including without limitation device drivers, firmware and any necessary software for the proper operation and support of the goods (collectively “Software”), Buyer and its Affiliates are granted a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to use, reproduce, prepare derivative works of and distribute the Software in connection with Buyer’s distribution and support of the goods including without limitation distribution in electronic form (e.g. via Buyer’s website). Supplier agrees to provide all updates and modifications to the Software to Buyer during the term of the Agreement without additional charges. Any license fees for Software shall be included in the purchase price or any other amounts payable under the Agreement.

4. WARRANTIES.

Without prejudice to any warranty extended, express or implied, by law, Supplier expressly warrants and represents to Buyer that all goods to be supplied to Buyer shall be new, of good quality, design, materials, construction and workmanship, and that all goods conform strictly to the specifications, approved samples, industry standards and all other requirements of the Agreement, and are suitable for the intended purpose. In the case of non-compliance with this warranty, Buyer may, at its discretion and without prejudice to any other right or remedy available under the Agreement or at law, reject the goods which do not comply with the provisions of the first sentence of this section 4 (hereinafter referred to as goods having a “defect” or “defective goods”) by written notice to Supplier. In the event of such rejection or if Buyer detects any goods having a defect after acceptance thereof, Buyer, at its option, shall be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price of the defective goods, or may require Supplier to remedy promptly the non-conformance or to replace the defective goods. In such event Supplier shall be responsible for and indemnify Buyer against and shall hold Buyer harmless from any and all cost of repair, replacement and transportation of the defective goods, as well as for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, recall, inspection, handling and storage costs) and damage incurred by Buyer in connection with such defective goods. Risk to the goods shall pass to Supplier as from the notice of rejection. Supplier will provide out of warranty service to Buyer and its Affiliates at commercially reasonable prices for a period of five (5) years after the last date of manufacture of the goods.

5. EPIDEMIC DEFECTS.

Supplier warrants that the goods will be free from epidemic defects. An ”epidemic defect” is a defect which appears in more than half a percent (0.5%), or any lower percentage as specified in the specifications, of the goods of the same or substantially the same type delivered by Supplier to Buyer or its Affiliates within the epidemic defect period as stated in the relevant specifications, or if no such period is stated, within any consecutive period of three (3) months, and which defect is either similar or substantially similar or has similar or substantially similar cause. In the event of an epidemic defect, Supplier shall urgently and at its costs and expense repair or replace goods delivered to Buyer which show such epidemic defect within the reasonably expected life time of such goods and Supplier shall further indemnify Buyer for all losses and damages incurred by Buyer, including without limitation all costs and damages in relation to recall of any goods or products in which the goods are used from the market (whether defective or not) in relation to the epidemic defect.

6. PAYMENT.

Subject to acceptance of the goods by Buyer, payment shall be made upon a properly submitted invoice at 60 days following the date on which the goods are delivered or (if applicable) installed and commissioned. Supplier shall accept payment for the goods regardless whether payment is made by Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Buyer shall, at all times, have the right to set-off any amounts owed by Supplier or any of its Affiliates to Buyer or any of its Affiliates against amounts owed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Supplier or any of its Affiliates. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that any debt of Buyer to Supplier may be paid on behalf of Buyer by any of its Affiliates and/or any third party designated by Buyer. Supplier will treat such payment as if it were made by Buyer itself and Buyer’s debt to Supplier will automatically be satisfied and discharged for the amount paid by such Affiliate or third party.

7. PRICES.

All prices are inclusive of all taxes and duties except to the extent the same are to be borne by Buyer pursuant to the applicable Incoterms. All such taxes and duties deemed included in the price shall be borne by Supplier, and Supplier shall pay such taxes and duties itself or, where these have been paid by Buyer, reimburse Buyer for such taxes and duties. Supplier warrants that the prices for goods will not be less favorable than prices applicable to sales by Supplier to any other customer purchasing like quantities of substantially comparable products.

8. INSPECTION.

Buyer shall have the right to inspect or test the goods at all times and places. Payment, inspection, testing or acceptance of any goods by Buyer shall not relieve Supplier of any of its obligations under the Agreement, nor shall it constitute acceptance or approval of any goods or constitute or operate as a waiver of any defect, nonconformity or any rights or remedies available under the Agreement or at law.

9. DRAWINGS, TOOLS AND MATERIALS.

Any specifications, drawings, information, tools, molds, masks, jigs, dies and other materials furnished to Supplier or funded or paid for by Buyer (whether separate or as a part of the unit price), in whole or in part, shall (i) remain or become as of the moment of completion thereof, Buyer’s property, provided the risk therefor (including risks of loss or damage) remains with Supplier until delivery to Buyer, (ii) if use thereof by Supplier is allowed by Buyer, be used exclusively for the purposes of the Agreement, be properly used, maintained and kept in good working condition at Supplier’s expense, (iii) be clearly marked as Buyer’s property and be kept in separate storage when not in use, and (iv) be delivered to Buyer promptly on Buyer’s demand. Supplier shall inform any third parties who might seek recourse thereon of Buyer’s proprietary right; Supplier shall immediately inform Buyer of any such event. Supplier shall take out adequate insurance, mentioning Buyer as beneficiary, for all property of Buyer in the possession of Supplier.

Without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Buyer under the Agreement or at law, Supplier (1) shall procure the right for Buyer to continue to use the goods at no extra costs to Buyer, and (2) agrees that it will indemnify and hold Buyer, its Affiliates and their successors and assigns harmless from and against all liabilities, including without limitation product liability, claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), whether direct or indirect (including, without limitation, loss of profits), arising from or relating to Supplier’s (or its officers’, employees’, agents’ or subcontractors’) failure to comply with any of its obligations under the Agreement.

If Buyer terminates the Agreement on less than thirty (30) day notice, Buyer and Supplier will negotiate a reasonable termination charge, if any, based on all appropriate factors, including, without limitation, the percentage of work performed by Supplier prior to termination, Supplier’s ability to resell or reuse the goods or services, and market conditions prevailing at the time of termination.
