TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. CONTRACT TERMS. Applied Plastics LLC (“Applied”) agrees to sell to Buyer the services, parts or products (collectively referred to as the “Products”) as set forth on Buyer’s purchase order (the “Order”). Applied hereby expressly rejects any terms or conditions on the Order that are different from or in addition to the terms and conditions contained herein (the “Contract”). Neither Applied’s delivery of the Products nor any other action, conduct or performance shall constitute acceptance of terms or conditions different from or in addition to the terms and conditions herein. Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions herein by written acknowledgment of Applied’s price quotation number (the “Quote”) or order acknowledgment on the Order or by other statement or email, act or course of conduct, dealing or performance constituting acceptance under applicable law, including failure to object in writing to the terms and conditions of this Contract within a reasonable time or by acceptance of the Products.

2. PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS

A. Prices and Adjustments. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Applied, the prices for the Products (“Purchase Price”) are effective only for Products scheduled for shipment within sixty (60) days after the date of the Quote.

B. Terms of Payment. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by Applied, payment of the Purchase Price is due in full thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Except as provided below for “hold orders,” invoices shall be issued after delivery of Product to Buyer or Buyer’s agent. Buyer agrees to pay invoices without right of setoff, whether for whole or partial shipments and regardless of disputes relating to other invoices.

C. Credit Terms and Credit Information. Applied reserves the right to alter or revoke credit terms to Buyer at any time, withhold shipment of Products to Buyer or ship on a C.O.D. basis. Buyer agrees to promptly furnish credit standing information and credit references to Applied from time to time upon Applied’s request. Buyer hereby represents to Applied that it is not insolvent (as that term is defined in § 1-201(23) of the Uniform Commercial Code). Buyer agrees to notify Applied in writing if Buyer becomes insolvent prior to payment of the Purchase Price. Buyer’s acceptance of the Products shall constitute a written reaffirmation of Buyer’s solvency at the time of delivery.

D. Late Payment Fee. Any amounts not paid when due will be subject to a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the amount due per month or the highest rate permitted under applicable law, whichever is less. Applied reserves the right to withhold manufacturing and shipment of remaining Products until payment on this or any other purchase order is current.

E. Sales and Similar Taxes; Shipping Costs; Insurance. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing, Buyer shall pay all sales, use, excise or similar taxes and any shipping, delivery and related insurance costs applicable to the Products. In lieu of certain tax payments, Buyer may provide Applied with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities. Buyer agrees to reimburse Applied for any such amounts that Applied incurs on behalf of Buyer.

F. Hold Orders. If Buyer requests Applied to hold delivery of any Products, Applied may at its option, invoice Buyer on the original date the Products were to be delivered, or invoice Buyer on the date such Products are actually shipped.

G. Cancellation. Buyer may cancel an Order, in whole or part, only if Buyer pays Applied full price for all finished Products and also pays for any costs and expenses incurred by Applied (e.g., raw materials, work in progress, finished goods inventory, un-amortized tooling, labor, handling, overhead and any other expense or cost incurred by Applied related to the Order or Products), as reasonably determined by Applied, plus a cancellation fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the canceled Order amount.

3. SHIPMENT, DELIVERY, TITLE AND ACCEPTANCE

A. Shipment. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing, all sales and deliveries are FOB EX WORKS. Applied will package the Products for bulk shipment in accordance with standard commercial practices unless the Buyer has provided Applied with packaging and shipping specifications as part of the Buyer’s request for a Quote and these specifications are agreed to by Applied in writing. If Applied is to arrange shipping, unless otherwise indicated on the Order: (i) Applied may exercise its discretion in choosing a carrier; (ii) Applied may, at its option, obtain insurance on the Products shipped; (iii) shipment insurance (if required) and related charges will be at Buyer’s expense; (iv) the carrier shall be deemed to be Buyer’s agent and Buyer shall make all claims with respect to damage in transit against the responsible carrier; and (v) title and risk of loss to the Products shall pass to Buyer as provided in Section 3B.

B. Delivery Schedule. The delivery schedule specified in this Contract is an estimate only based on prevailing conditions. Applied’s failure to meet the delivery schedule shall not be a breach of this Contract or give rise to any cause of action in favor of Buyer. Product completion dates are subject to timely receipt of engineering order, down payment and complete information and are Applied’s best estimate.

C. Duties and Fees. Any applicable shipping costs, taxes and duties are billed to the recipient.

D. Title and Products, Risk of Loss. Title to and all risk of loss or damage concerning the Products shall pass to Buyer immediately upon the delivery of the Products to a common carrier or to any private carrier designated by Buyer or Applied, at Applied’s facility for shipment to Buyer’s designated point of delivery. Buyer’s rejection of any Products purchased hereunder shall not shift any risk for those Products until they are returned to and received by Applied, freight prepaid, pursuant to Applied’s written instructions.

E. Inspection and Acceptance. Buyer shall inspect all of the Products upon receipt. Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all of the Products and to have waived and released all claims for shortages or other failure of the Products to conform to those ordered, unless Buyer provides written notice to Applied itemizing any nonconformance, including, but not limited to, notification with respect to shortages, incorrect parts or inconsistencies between the shipment and the enclosed packing list or invoice, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Products to Buyer or Buyer’s agent. Acceptance shall be irrevocable and no attempted revocation shall have any effect whatsoever.

F. Cure of Imperfect Tender. Buyer hereby grants Applied the right to cure any imperfect tender of the Products within thirty (30) days from the date Buyer delivers written notice of such imperfect tender to Applied. This right to cure shall be in addition to any other right to cure available to Applied in law or equity.

G. Force Majeure. Applied shall not be liable for any delay or nondelivery of any of the Products or other nonperformance caused in whole or part by any contingency or event beyond Applied’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, any act of God; acts of any government or any agency or subdivision thereof; fire; strikes; war; machinery breakage; failure of a communications or internet provider; transportation delays; shortage of or inability to secure labor, fuel, energy, materials or supplies at reasonable prices or from regular sources; riots or acts of a public enemy; terrorist acts; and any existing or future laws or regulations with which Applied, in its judgment and discretion, deems it advisable to comply as its legal duty. Should any of the foregoing occur, Applied may distribute its available Products among its customers on such a basis as it deems reasonable, without liability to Buyer.

4. BUYER WARRANTIES. For Buyer furnished materials, design and/or specifications for the Products, Buyer represents and warrants that (i) it has all intellectual property rights necessary or appropriate for the contemplated use of all designs, materials, parts and components that Buyer supplies to Applied, (ii) it has conducted such testing as it has felt necessary and prudent to ensure that the Products to be produced from the materials and Specifications will fulfill their intended purposes, and (iii) all materials furnished by Buyer will be of suitable quality to facilitate efficient production of the Products. Buyer is solely responsible for undertaking its own clinical tests and other studies to determine the safety and efficacy of the Products and their appropriateness for use in their specific medical application, and shall make its own independent evaluation and judgment of said clinical tests and studies concerning the safety and efficacy of the Products. Buyer is solely responsible for establishing that the Products are suitable for the intended use in the Buyer’s finished medical device and for obtaining any regulatory approvals required in the markets in which the Buyer’s medical device will be sold or used, including without limitation: (a) ensuring that the product meets relevant biocompatibility requirements and is otherwise safe for the intended end-use; (b) functions as intended by the device manufacturer; (c) is suitable for the intended end-use; and (d) complies with all applicable regulatory requirements for the jurisdiction in which it is placed on the market, including without limitation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

5. APPLIED LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY

A. Limited Warranty to Buyer. Applied warrants to Buyer that each Product shall comply as of the date of manufacture with written plans, designs and specifications agreed to by Applied and Buyer (“Specifications”) and any certificate of compliance delivered with any Products; provided, however, this warranty shall not apply if failure of Products to meet Specifications is not due to the acts or omissions of Applied, including, without limitation, any problems caused in whole or in part by: (i) use, handling, shipment, operation, alteration, maintenance, assembly, or storage by any party other than Applied; (ii) negligence by any party other than Applied; (iii) repair or modifications performed by anyone other than Applied or a party authorized in writing by Applied; (iv) use in any manner or procedure other than that for which the Product is intended, including without limitation, surgical implantation into the body, or for other products for which a Product failure could cause personal injury or death; and (v) use by any person other than trained medical personnel under order of a physician. An alleged breach of this limited warranty must be promptly reported to Applied consistent with the requirements of Section 11A or shall be forever waived. Buyer agrees to undertake its own clinical tests and other studies to determine the safety and efficacy of the Products and shall make its own independent evaluation of such clinical tests.

B. Buyer’s Limited Warranty Remedy. The parties agree that, if any Product fails to meet the warranty described in Section 5A Applied will repair or replace, at Applied’s option, any defective part in the product for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of delivery. This remedy is intended to be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer under this Contract. Should this sole and exclusive remedy fail of its essential purpose, however, Applied will return the purchase price to the Buyer minus the reasonable value of the Buyer’s use of the Product. The parties also agree that, regardless of the failure of the sole and exclusive remedy, Applied will not be liable for any consequential damages of whatsoever kind or nature. The parties intend the exclusion of consequential damages as an independent agreement apart from the sole and exclusive remedy herein.

C. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 5A ABOVE, APPLIED MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

7. INDEMNIFICATION. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Applied, its officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, representatives and agents, harmless for (a) any alleged or actual infringement of any third party’s intellectual property rights and for any loss, liability, damage, debt, cost or expense (including legal and accounting fees and disbursements) arising out of, or as a result of or relating to any infringement claim, (b) misuse of any design, materials, part, component or Product (collectively, the “Components”) or the Components’ failure to perform as intended, including any Components that do not meet the Specification therefore, either by notification from Applied or from any other source, and Buyer decides to use them as is, and (iii) any personal injury (including death) or damage to property resulting from the use of the Products. Except for Applied’s liability under this Contract for matters covered under Applied’s warranty in Section 5A, Buyer shall be fully and solely responsible for the Product and the consequences of any implementation, sale, or use by Buyer or others of the Product, including without limitation, compliance with applicable laws and regulations and claims of third parties arising from such implementation, sale or use. All indemnification obligations of Buyer hereunder shall survive delivery of the Products, payment of the Purchase Price therefor and termination of this Contract.

8. DEFAULT. Buyer will be in default of these terms and conditions if Buyer (i) fails to pay any amount when due or Applied becomes aware of any fact or event which gives Applied reasonable grounds to doubt Buyer’s financial ability to satisfy its obligations hereunder, (ii) fails to observe any of its obligations hereunder, or (iii) institutes voluntary proceedings or if any proceedings are instituted against Buyer under any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership laws. Upon any default by Buyer, Applied may exercise any and all of the following remedies, in addition to other rights and remedies provided hereunder or by law or equity: (a) suspend or stop in transit any shipments, whether or not pursuant to this Contract; (b) exercise all rights of a secured party; or (c) declare all amounts owed by Buyer to be due and payable immediately. If Applied elects to repossess the Products, Buyer shall permit Applied to enter all premises where the Products are located with or without legal process to remove and take possession of the same. Ten (10) days advance notice of any intended disposition of repossessed Products shall be deemed reasonable. All remedies of Applied hereunder are cumulative and nonexclusive. In addition, Buyer shall reimburse Applied for all costs incurred as a result of Buyer’s default, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses.

9. LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLIED BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES OR BUSINESS, COST OF CAPITAL, COST OF PURCHASE, COST OF RECALL, OR COST OF REPLACEMENT GOODS, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF WARRANTY OR OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT, OR OTHERWISE. FURTHER, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLIED BE LIABLE FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE PRICE OF PARTICULAR PRODUCT SPECIFIED ON THE ORDER THAT IS THE SUBJECT MATTER OF A DISPUTE. BUYER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY SECURITY INTEREST IN OR OTHER LIEN ON REJECTED PRODUCTS.

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Buyer acknowledges that Applied Intellectual Property (as defined below) shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Applied and all right, title and interest in and to the Applied Intellectual Property shall vest solely with Applied. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Contract to the contrary, and unless specifically agreed upon to the contrary in writing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Applied is in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, prototyping and assembling metal and plastic components for specialized medical devices and that Applied may develop products or other items for itself or other persons that are identical or similar in structure, functionality, or both structure and functionality to the Products. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Applied, its employees and agents shall be free to use and employ their general skills, know-how, and expertise, and to use, disclose, and employ any generalized ideas, concepts, know-how, methods, techniques, processes or skills gained or learned during the course of performing the services for the Buyer. Buyer understands and agrees that Applied may perform similar services for third parties using the same personnel that Applied may utilize for rendering services for Buyer hereunder. For the purposes of this Contract, the term “Applied Intellectual Property” means inventions, improvements, developments, or innovations (including all rights to patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and know-how inherent therein and appurtenant thereto) and other creative works (whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or otherwise protectable under any and all state or federal legal theories, e.g., unfair competition, conceived or made or reduced to practice), know-how, technical information, pending patent applications, registrations, divisionals, continuations and continuations-in-part, registered and unregistered copyrights, and all associated goodwill, designs, drawings, specifications, vendor lists, manufacturing methods and processes, and all other information pertinent to these terms and conditions, which is proprietary to Applied or is developed by Applied during the term of this Contract.

E. Governing Law and Forum. Any and all matters of dispute between the parties to this Contract, and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, remediation and enforcement, whether arising from the Contract itself or from alleged extra-contractual dealings, interactions, or facts prior to or subsequent to the formation of the Agreement, including, without limitation, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence, or any other alleged tort or violation of the contract, shall be governed by, and the rights and responsibilities of the parties construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, regardless of the legal theory upon which such matter is asserted, and without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
