OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MECHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The
remedies described above are Purchaser’s sole remedies in the event of any breach of the warranty provided above.
9.2 In the event that Purchaser discovers or learns that a Product does not conform to the warranty, Purchaser shall immediately notify Seller in writing of such non-conformity, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the nonconformity.

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.

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.

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.

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.
