(b) Seller’s quotations are not binding on Seller. Each order of Products shall be in writing and no order of Purchaser shall be binding on Seller until the earlier of (i) shipment to Purchaser of Products or (ii) transmittal of a written acceptance by Seller.

(c) Purchaser may not cancel any order after it has become binding pursuant to subsection (b) above. Seller may cancel all accepted orders and deliveries of Products if (i) Purchaser makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) becomes party to a voluntary or involuntary proceeding of insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization, (iii) generally becomes unable to pay its debts as they become due, (iv) fails to remit payment to Seller in accordance with the terms hereof or under any other agreement between Seller and Purchaser, or (v) breaches any other term, provision or condition contained in these Terms.

(e) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller’s acceptance of any purchase order is dependent on Seller’s prior approval of Purchaser’s credit.

3. Acceptance.

Purchaser shall inspect all Products immediately following arrival thereof at the destination, and shall give written notice to Seller within five (5) days of any claim that the Products are nonconforming, provided that a reasonable inspection should have revealed such non-conformity. If Purchaser shall fail to give such notice within the required time period, then Purchaser is deemed to have accepted the Products.

Such information shall be treated as confidential, and shall not be used, disclosed or reproduced by Purchaser, except as required in the course of performance hereunder. Purchaser’s obligations of confidentiality hereunder with respect to each item of confidential information shall extend for a period of three (3) years from the date of Seller’s acceptance of the last order to which the items of confidential information in question pertain; provided, however that Purchaser’s obligations of confidentiality hereunder with respect to any such items of information which rise to the level of a trade secret (as defined under applicable law) shall remain in full force and effect for so long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law. For purposes hereof, the confidentiality obligations embodied herein do not extend to any information, which, at the time of disclosure, was (i) already known or independently developed by Purchaser; (ii) in the public domain through no wrongful act of Purchaser; or (iii) received by Purchaser from a third party who was free to disclose such information.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach hereof, shall be submitted to and be finally resolved by binding arbitration, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., to be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), with such arbitration to be held in Burlington County, New Jersey in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. Any civil action to enforce this arbitration clause may be brought in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and each party consents to and waives any challenge to the personal jurisdiction of that court. Each party hereby irrevocably agrees that service of process, summons, notices, as other communications related to the arbitration procedures shall be deemed served and accepted by the other party five (5) working days after having been mailed by first class registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the other party, or if actually received by the other party. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, as selected by the procedure established by the AAA rules. Any award or decision rendered in such arbitration shall be final and binding on both parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction if necessary. Except as may be provided to the contrary herein, each party hereto shall pay any and all expenses incurred by such party in connection with such arbitration proceeding, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may seek injunctive relief against Purchaser from any court of proper jurisdiction with respect to any and all preliminary injunctive or restraining procedures pertaining to these Terms or the breach hereof. The parties agree that although these Terms of are to be governed by New Jersey law, this arbitration agreement, and whether it is enforceable, is to be governed and determined by the federal law of the United States of America, particularly the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and related jurisprudence.

12. Export Compliance.

Should Purchaser re-sell any Product purchased from Seller which originates in Germany, or re-sell any replacement part or upgrade for any Product which originates in the U.S. to a customer outside of the United States, the Purchaser acknowledges that the export of that Product, or upgrade or replacement part thereto, from the United States may fall within the scope of the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) of the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) at the U.S. Department of Commerce. It may also be subject to the regulations of the U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, and other U.S. government agencies. If Purchaser re- sells our products, Purchaser must comply with the EAR and any other applicable U.S. regulations. Purchaser’s responsibilities shall be:

(i) Determining the Export Control Classification Number. In most cases, an export license from BIS will not be required. However, Purchaser must make that determination. In order to do this, Purchaser must first assign the Export Control Classification Number (“ECCN”) to the product being exported.

(ii) Determining if Country Restrictions Exist. Using the ECCN, Purchaser must then compare the specific controls for Purchaser’s ECCN against the Country Control List (“CCL”). Reasons for controls include national security and nuclear non- proliferation, among others. Exports to certain countries such as Cuba and North Korea are prohibited altogether, while exports to others require a license.

(iii) Determining the End User. Purchaser must determine if the buyer to which Purchaser is re-selling Seller’s Product appears on the “Denied Persons” list, the “Entity List,” or the “Unverified List” (all maintained by BIS), as well on the Treasury Department’s “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” List. Based on which list the end user appears on, the export transaction may be prohibited altogether, or require a license.

(iv) Determining the End Use. Some end-uses are prohibited, while others may require a license. For example, Purchaser may not export to certain entities involved in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (e.g., nuclear, biological, chemical) and the missiles to deliver them, without specific authorization.

13. Miscellaneous.

(a) Purchaser shall comply with any and all technical guidelines, including but not limited to installation requirements, for the Products, as may be issued by Seller from time to time. Purchaser shall supply Seller with all information Seller reasonably requires to fulfill its obligations and duties to Purchaser hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform hereunder when such failure or delay is, directly or indirectly, caused by, or in any manner arises from fire, floods, accidents, civil unrest, acts of God, war, terrorism, governmental interference or embargoes, strikes, labor difficulties, shortage of labor, fuel, power, materials or supplies, breakage of machinery or apparatus, transportation delays, or any other cause or causes (whether or not similar in nature to any of those hereinbefore specified) beyond Seller’s control.

(c) Purchaser’s failure to initial any clause hereof, shall have no effect on the enforceability of said clause.

(d) Purchaser shall not assign this contract without the express prior written consent of Seller.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in a written document, signed by Seller and Purchaser, this document and attachments and exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement between Seller and Purchaser with respect to he subject matter herein contained and all prior agreements and communications between Seller and Purchaser, whether oral or written, are superseded by these Terms.

(f) No modification, limitation, waiver or discharge of these Terms shall bind Seller unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized employee of Seller. Seller may, from time to time, modify these Terms by giving thirty (30) days advance written notice to Purchaser. Modification of these Terms may be made on a case by case basis in invoices to the Purchaser upon the express agreement of both parties hereto, and any such modification shall control only the single purchase transaction covered by such invoice.

(g) The failure of Seller to insist, in one or more instances, on performance by Purchaser in strict compliance with the terms and conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right granted hereunder with respect to any succeeding breach of the same or other provision hereof.

(h) All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and sent by first class mail or by telefax or written confirmation to such addresses as stated herein.

(i) These Terms shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of New Jersey without giving effect to conflict of laws principles, provided however, that all aspects relating to arbitration hereunder shall be governed by the federal law of the United States of America.

(j) In case any conditions of these Terms should be or become unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions, stipulations and conditions of these Terms shall not be affected thereby.

(k) Support or service contracts between the Purchaser of the Product and the Seller shall be deemed made for the term set forth in such contract
