These Terms and Conditions of Sale (these “Terms”) shall apply to

all sales made by MicroLiter Analytical Systems (MLAS) and any

of the affiliated companies and businesses of MLAS (collectively,

“Seller”) to you (“Buyer”) until such time as you receive a revised

edition of these Terms or other notice from Seller of their

revocation. These Terms shall apply to all transactions between

you and Seller until such further notice unless your written

objections are received by Seller within thirty (30) days after you

receive this document, which includes receipt of a website address

by which these Terms can be accessed.

Additional or different terms, conditions, or instructions applicable

to a particular sale may be specified in the body of a price quotation

or sales acknowledgment from Seller or in an exhibit thereto, and,

in the event of a conflict, shall take precedence over these Terms.

Price and delivery terms applicable to a specific sale of goods or

materials may be evidenced by Seller’s internal customer order

form maintained by Seller, which shall be controlling.

> Interpretation

Unless set forth in writing and signed by both Buyer and Seller

no conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing or performance,

understanding or agreement purporting to modify, vary, explain

or supplement these Terms shall be binding and no modification

shall be effected by the acknowledgement or acceptance of any

Buyer purchase order or shipping instruction forms containing

terms or conditions at variance with or in addition to these Terms.

> Price

Sales of goods and materials shall be at the price last quoted

by Seller or at Seller’s prevailing list price, if no price has been

quoted. The price noted on Seller’s internal customer order form

maintained by Seller regarding specific orders shall be controlling.

> Delivery

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all sales shall be F.O.B.,

Seller’s plant, whereupon risk of loss is transferred to Buyer.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed, Seller shall select the means

of transportation and routing. Any specific delivery terms stated

on Seller’s internal customer order form maintained by Seller

shall be controlling. All freight rates stated are those named by the

carrier and are stated without responsibility. Buyer is responsible

for all rate charges at actual rates in effect at time of shipment.

All freight bills are to be paid by Buyer, unless otherwise agreed.

Any prepaid charges are payable upon receipt of invoice. Carrier

manifest weights taken on scale nearest the loading point shall

govern all shipments.

> Acceptance

Except as otherwise provided herein, all goods delivered

hereunder shall be conclusively deemed accepted unless, in

accordance with Section 8, within thirty (30) days after the date of

delivery (F.O.B., Seller’s plant) of the goods, Seller receives written

notice of rejection. Acceptance as aforesaid shall constitute

acknowledgement of full performance by Seller of all of its

obligations hereunder.

> Payment Terms

Unless otherwise specified in a quotation issued by Seller and/

or Seller’s invoice, payment for the goods sold hereunder shall be

due in full within thirty (30) days net from the date of the invoice.

Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of Seller, Seller

shall have the right to charge interest without further notice on all

overdue amounts at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per

month.

> Taxes

Any taxes that are or may be levied by the United States or any

state or political subdivision thereof on goods or materials subject

to any sales contract, or on the sale or purchase thereof, or on

incidental transportation charges when the same are paid or

required to be paid or collected by Seller shall be billed to and paid

by Buyer.

> Warranties

Seller warrants that all goods and materials sold hereunder shall,

at the time of shipment from Seller’s plant, conform to Seller’s

specifications and quality criteria for such goods and materials as

determined by Seller’s test methods, which specifications, quality

criteria and test methods are available upon request. Buyer’s sole

and exclusive remedy, and Seller’s sole obligation, for breach of

warranty shall be, at Seller’s option, (a) the correction of the non-

conforming condition or replacement of any nonconforming goods

or materials or (b) the issuance of a credit to Buyer in the amount

of the purchase price paid and received for such goods. Buyer shall

notify Seller of any claim of for breach of the foregoing warranties

within ten (10) days after Buyer’s discovery of such defect. Before

any claim for breach of warranty will be honored, Seller must be

given an opportunity, after receiving notice of Buyer’s claim, to

inspect the goods or materials claimed to be nonconforming. In no

event shall any claim for a breach of warranty be made later than

six (6) months after the date of delivery of the goods and materials.

SELLER MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY,

STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, CONCERNING MATERIALS OR GOODS

SUPPLIED UNDER THESE TERMS OR ANY CONTRACT TO WHICH

THEY APPLY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY

OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY

OF MERCHANTABILITY. THE WARRANTIES GIVEN UNDER THIS

SECTION ARE EXCLUSIVELY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH

RESPECT TO DEFECTS IN OR NONCONFORMITY OF GOODS OR

MATERIALS RESULTING FROM DESIGNS OR SPECIFICATIONS

PROVIDED BY BUYER. TECHNICAL ADVICE IS FURNISHED AS AN

ACCOMMODATION TO BUYER. SELLER ASSUMES NO LIABILITY

FOR TECHNICAL ADVICE AND BUYER ACCEPTS SUCH ADVICE AT

BUYER’S SOLE RISK.

> Limitations on Claims

All claims, except for claims for breach of warranty under Section

7, must be made within thirty (30) days after delivery of the goods

or materials and failure to do so shall constitute a waiver by

Buyer of any such claims. Claims for any damages to goods or

materials in transit shall be made against the carrier. Any action

for breach of any sales contract to which these Terms apply must

be commenced within six (6) months after the cause of action has

accrued.

> Limit of Liability

SELLER’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO BUYER (REGARDLESS OF THE

NATURE OF THE CLAIM) SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL

PURCHASE PRICE OF THE RELEVANT GOODS ACTUALLY PAID BY

BUYER. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT,

SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING

WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS.
