payment of the entire balance, or additional security satisfactory to it, or all of the foregoing, before further performance by Seller. Purchaser’s failure timely and fully to pay any invoice in accordance with the terms hereof shall
operate to make all other outstanding invoices of Seller to Purchaser immediately due and payable and, at the discretion of Seller, shall be grounds for cancellation of any further performance by Seller under the Contact. The
receipt and acceptance by Seller of part payment shall not constitute a waiver of any of Seller’s rights set forth herein or provided by law, including, without limitation, the right to cancel. Interest on past due accounts will be
charged daily on past due amounts at the lesser of (a) a varying rate of two (2) percentage points per annum above the "prime rate" announced from time to time by the Wall Street Journal and (b) the maximum rate of interest

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO ALL PURCHASERS. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES PURCHASERS SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND PURCHASERS MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
X. Cancellation
The Contract is not subject to cancellation by Purchaser, other than in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 11.2 hereof. In the event that Purchaser purports to cancel the Contract in respect of any Products which have been
specially manufactured for Purchaser, Seller, in addition to all other remedies available to it under applicable law, shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Purchaser for all direct costs of labor, raw materials and parts purchased or
contracted to be purchased and overhead costs incurred by Seller in connection with the manufacture of such Products, and Purchaser agrees that Seller’s calculation of such costs shall be accepted. In addition, Seller shall have the
right to complete and sell to a third party any specially manufactured Products the order for which has been purportedly cancelled by Purchaser, without any further obligation or liability whatsoever to Purchaser.

God, strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or other labor or industrial disturbances, wars, blockades, quarantine restrictions, embargoes, insurrections, riots, epidemics, fires, civil disturbances, explosions, partial or entire failure of
production facilities, inability to obtain transportation, shortages of raw materials, governmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations or temporary failure of electric power. Events of Force Majeure shall not include a
Purchaser’s mere inability to pay Seller for theProducts.
11.2 The occurrence of Force Majeure shall not excuse either party from the performance of its obligations or duties under the Contract, but shall merely suspend such performance during the continuance of Force Majeure. The
party prevented from performing the obligations or duties because of Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other party hereto of the occurrence and particulars of such Force Majeure and shall provide the other party, from
time to time, with its best estimate of the duration of such Force Majeure and with notice of the termination thereof. Upon termination of Force Majeure the performance of any suspended obligation or duty shall promptly
recommence. If, however, Force Majeure shall prevent performance by either party for a period in excess of ninety (90) consecutive days, then so long as such Force Majeure is continuing, either party shall have the right to
deliver notice of that termination of the Contract to the other party, and the Contract shall terminate automatically at once upon the giving of such notice. Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any direct, indirect,
consequential, incidental or special damages arising out of or relating to the suspension or termination of any of its obligations under the Contract by reason of Force Majeure.
XII. Indemnification
Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all costs, losses, expenses, damages, claims, liabilities or fines, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and court costs, resulting from or
arising in connection with (i) any and all actual or alleged injuries to, or deaths of, persons and any and all damage to, or destruction of, property arising directly or indirectly from or relating to the Products sold pursuant to this form, or
any products or items manufactured using such Products, or (ii) any failure of Purchaser to perform any covenant contained herein; except for such costs, losses, expenses, damages, claims, liabilities or fines which directly are
caused by or result from Seller’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
XIII. Warnings
Purchaser covenants and agrees to install and maintain all appropriate safety warnings and instructions and all appropriate safety guards and features in connection with its or any customer’s use of the Products and to educate
appropriately its employees, agents and customers in the safe installation, repair, maintenance, and use of the Products.
XIV. Confidentiality
Purchaser agrees that all specifications, data and other technical information furnished by Seller to Purchaser constitute the property of Seller, are furnished solely for the purpose of Seller’s performance hereunder and may not be
copied or made accessible to third parties without Seller’s prior written consent. Purchaser shall promptly return such specifications, data and other technical information and all copies thereof to Seller upon Seller’s request. Such
request may be made at any time prior to or after delivery of the Products. The obligations of Purchaser hereinabove set forth shall survive cancellation or completion of the Contract.
XV. Miscellaneous
15.1 SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR BY WAY OF INDEMNITY, FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF
CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS, TRADE SECRETS, TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OR USE OF THEPRODUCTS.
15.2 The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of the terms and conditions of this form shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force
and effect.
15.3 The failure or omission of either party hereto to insist, in any instance, upon and performance by the other party of any term or condition of the form or any quotation or Seller’s acknowledgement or to exercise any of its rights
hereunder or thereunder shall not be deemed to be a modification of any term hereof or thereof or a waiver or relinquishment of the future performance of any such term or condition by such part, nor shall such failure or
omission constitute a waiver on the right of such party to insist upon future performance by the other party of any such term or condition.
15.4 Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the terms and conditions of the Contract, or the negotiation or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in New York, New York, in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The prevailing party in any such arbitration shall be
entitled to reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the arbitrators’ and arbitration tribunal’s costs from the losing party.
15.5 The Contract shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New Jersey without reference to its conflicts-of-law principles; provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly exclude the
application of the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods.
