This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

7.4 A waiver of a default of any term of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any later default of that provision or as a waiver of the provision itself. A Party’s performance after the other Party’s default shall not be construed as a waiver of that default.

7.5 Each term of this Agreement is severable. If a court having jurisdiction determines that any term is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that determination shall not affect the other terms of this Agreement, which other terms shall continue to be enforced as if the invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted.

7.6 The state and federal law of the State of California, United States of America, shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may cause the law of any other jurisdiction to apply.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

FORECASTS AND PRODUCTION ESTIMATES: Customer will provide FUJIFILM with a [***] of FUJIFILM Product requirements; provided, however, that orders placed hereunder are non-cancelable and non-deferrable beginning thirty [***] prior to scheduled delivery date. Customer will provide FUJIFILM with [***] advance notice to add significant additional manufacturing capacity. FUJIFILM may not be able to meet orders as a result of changes in or requirements in excess of those set forth in [***]. Furthermore, the Parties agree to use their reasonable efforts, particularly during significant ramp periods, to coordinate, communicate and level out product delivery requirements so that Customer’s requirements and FUJIFILM’s capacity are matched as closely as possible. Production estimates are not guaranteed, but result from careful analysis of Customer’s submitted requirements and present reasonably expected output under normal conditions.

ORDERS: Customer will order FUJIFILM Products through the issuance of purchase orders at least [***] in advance of the requested delivery dates. All preprinted terms and conditions on purchase orders are superseded entirely by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each purchase order will (i) adequately identify the FUJIFILM Product ordered by use of FUJIFILM’s product code, (ii) set forth the requested quantity, and (iii) specify the requested delivery method and date. Purchase orders must be in writing and may be sent via e-mail or facsimile to FUJIFILM’s Customer Service group. To confirm its acceptance of each purchase order, FUJIFILM will issue to Customer an acknowledgment of such purchase order via e-mail within three (3) business days of receipt. If Customer does not receive an acknowledgment of a purchase order within this timeframe, Customer should contact FUJIFILM immediately to follow up on the status of the order.

Upon receipt of any purchase order submitted in accordance with this Agreement, FUJIFILM will either (i) accept the order via email, including confirmation of the ship date; or (ii) notify Customer of FUJIFILM’s proposed ship date, if FUJIFILM is unable to ship the FUJIFILM Product in the amounts and/or at the time or times requested. Once accepted, this will become the commitment date. If FUJIFILM cannot fulfill Customer’s purchase orders due to a shortage of any FUJIFILM Product, FUJIFILM shall notify Customer immediately via email and use its reasonable efforts to satisfy Customer’s purchase requirements as closely as possible.

PRICES: Prices are exclusive of federal, state or excise or use taxes which will be separately shown on invoices. Prices are Ex Works (INCO Terms 2010), as such terms are commonly understood in the industry. Specification changes by Customer may affect prices.

PAYMENT AND SECURITY: Payment shall be made by Customer within [***] of invoice date. For the purpose of securing payment of amounts due FUJIFILM from the Customer hereunder, Customer hereby grants to FUJIFILM: (i) a continuing first purchase money security interest in the FUJIFILM Products to be shipped hereunder, and all accessions thereto and substitutions therefor; and (ii) a continuing purchase money security interest in all of the proceeds of the foregoing. If Customer fails to make payment to FUJIFILM of any invoice for any FUJIFILM Product shipped by FUJIFILM within [***] of the date of such invoice, or should Customer become insolvent or be a party to any bankruptcy or receivership proceeding prior to full payment of all amounts payable hereunder, FUJIFILM may, notwithstanding any other provisions herein set forth, exercise any and all of its rights as a secured creditor under applicable law, including without limitation: (a) refuse to make further shipments to Customer; (b) with or without demand or notice to Customer declare the entire amount unpaid immediately due and payable; and (c) sell any or all of said products as permitted under applicable law, applying the proceeds of the sale to the expenses of retaking, repairing and selling said products, reasonable attorney’s fees and the satisfaction of all indebtedness then due and unpaid. Any surplus shall be paid to Customer and any deficiency shall be paid to FUJIFILM by Customer. All past due amounts shall accrue a delinquency charge at the rate of one percent (1%) per month.

The foregoing notwithstanding, if FUJIFILM, in its sole discretion, determines any Customer to have insufficient credit worthiness, FUJIFILM reserves the right to (i) require payment of all or a portion of the invoice amount in advance of commencing work on or shipping any order, or (ii) require full payment in less than [***] from the invoice date of any order. For orders shipped outside the United States, payment may be made by (i) a bank draft on a bank acceptable to FUJIFILM, or (ii) by a confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit naming FUJIFILM as beneficiary with order or other terms as arranged by FUJIFILM. Any charges related to such letter of credit or other payment arrangement shall be for Customer’s account.

Nothing herein shall require FUJIFILM to ship FUJIFILM Products to Customer if any of the requirements in this payment and security section of Schedule 1 are not fulfilled by Customer.

DELIVERY: Delivery to a public carrier at FUJIFILM’s manufacturing facility, consigned as Customer directs, shall constitute transfer of the shipment’s title, ownership, possession, and property to Customer at point of such delivery. Carrier will thereafter be deemed as acting for Customer and the shipment will be at Customer’s risk. FUJIFILM Products will be delivered to Customer in packaging reasonably acceptable to Customer, given shipment, warehousing and storage requirements. Customer will advise FUJIFILM in writing of any special packaging or labeling requirements at the time of placing an order. Customer will pay the cost of any special packaging.

WARRANTY: All FUJIFILM Products are warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of [***] from date of shipment by FUJIFILM.

[***] FUJIFILM Products repaired or replaced under warranty will carry coverage for the balance of warranty period of such product from when such product was returned to FUJIFILM.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, information that is disclosed without the marking or identification set forth in (i) and (ii) above, but which should be reasonably understood by Recipient to be proprietary or confidential to Discloser because of the circumstances of disclosure, or due to the nature of the information itself, shall be deemed Confidential Information of Discloser and treated as confidential in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement and this Schedule 3.

“Confidential Information” does not include any data, information and materials which the Recipient can show:

the Recipient knew at the time of disclosure;

 

  (b)

the public knows or which is or becomes readily ascertainable by the public, and through no wrongful act of the Recipient;

Upon Discloser’s written request and at Discloser’s expense, take reasonable steps to assist Discloser in contesting such request, requirement or order or otherwise protecting Discloser’s rights.

All materials containing Confidential Information delivered by or on behalf of the Discloser under this Agreement are and shall remain the property of the Discloser.
