The Proposal and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller may, at any time and without notice, substitute or change materials, parts, product specifications or functional attributes with any products or services provided such substitution or change does not materially affect the nature or scope of the Goods or Services.

2. Price. The price for the Goods and/or Services is set forth in the Proposal and is based on information supplied by Buyer. Seller reserves the right to change the price quoted in the Proposal if it is necessary due to it being provided inaccurate information or in the event the Proposal is not accepted by Buyer within the time frame specified therein. Prices apply only to Goods delivered to, or Services provided in, the continental U.S., unless otherwise noted. Buyer also agrees to reimburse Seller for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the performance of the Services.

3. Payment Terms. Payment terms are set forth in the Proposal. All invoices not paid within the specified terms may be subject to finance charges equal to the lesser of (i) 1.5% per month or (ii) the highest rate permissible under applicable law. In addition, Seller may withhold further delivery of Goods or Services in the event any invoice is not paid in full in compliance with the payment terms. Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Seller, whether relating to Seller’s breach, bankruptcy or otherwise.

4. Taxes. All prices indicated in the Proposal are exclusive of all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable by Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes; provided, that, Buyer shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Seller’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personal or real property, or other assets. Supplier will include all such amounts owed by Buyer to the final invoice unless Buyer provides a proper exemption form.

5. Delivery of Goods; Performance of Services. The Goods will be delivered within 10 business days of Seller’s acceptance of the Buyer’s purchase order and receipt of all necessary specifications. Requests for delivery of less than 10 business days may be subject to Quick Ship Service Charge not to exceed 5% of the price of the quoted Goods in addition to any UPS Air Freight Charges.

All Goods will be delivered FCA (Incoterms 2010) Seller’s facility. Title and risk of loss will pass to Buyer when Seller delivers Goods to the carrier.

Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer’s purchase order.

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates to render the Services specified in the Proposal; notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that any such dates shall be estimates only.

Buyer shall (i) cooperate with Seller in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Buyer’s premises, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by Seller, for the purposes of performing the Services; (ii) respond promptly to any Seller request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Seller to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; (iii) provide in a timely manner such customer materials or information as Seller may request to carry out the Services and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (iv) obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services before the date on which the Services are to start.

6. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods. Buyer shall inspect the Goods within 5 business days of receipt and will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless, during such period, it notifies Seller in writing that (i) the Goods shipped are different than identified in Buyer’s purchase order; or (ii) the Goods’ label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents (“Nonconforming Goods”). In such event, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith.

7. Limited Warranty. Seller warrants to Buyer that for a period of 3 years from the date of delivery of the Goods (“Warranty Period”), that such Goods will be free from defects in material. Seller warrants to Buyer that for a period of 1 year from the date of delivery of the Goods (“Warranty Period”), that such Goods will be free from defects in workmanship.

The Seller shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty set forth in this Section 7 if: (i) the defect arises because Buyer failed to follow Seller’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Goods; or (ii) Buyer alters or repairs such Goods without the prior written consent of Seller.

In the event that Buyer determines any deficiency is the result of any circumstance, cause or event that does not constitute a breach of warranty by Seller, Buyer shall compensate Seller for the cost of all inspection efforts, including an hourly reimbursement of labor and travel expenses, with a minimum charge of at least $1,750.

In the event of any breach of warranty, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, either: (i) repair or replace such Goods (or the defective part) or, if applicable, repair or re-perform the applicable Services or (ii) credit or refund the price of such Goods or Services at the pro rata contract rate.

exclusively by Melink Corporation; (ii) by this purchase order, Vendor assigns to Melink Corporation for no additional consideration all such rights to the Deliverables, including the right to any extensions and renewals of such rights; and (iii) if requested by
Melink Corporation, Vendor shall, without additional consideration, sign a separate written assignment of such rights to Melink Corporation or any other document necessary for Melink Corporation to establish, maintain or enforce such rights in the
Deliverables.

13. Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights. Vendor shall at its expense indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Melink Corporation, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, customers and end users, from any and all loss, damages or

intellectual, proprietary or industrial rights, with respect to any of the Deliverables. The fact that Melink Corporation furnishes specifications to Vendor with respect to any of the Deliverables shall neither relieve the Vendor from its obligations under this
purchase order nor limit Vendor’s liability in connection with the Deliverables, nor constitute an undertaking by Melink Corporation to hold Vendor harmless against any such claim which arises out of compliance with the specifications.

development plans, and distribution and marketing plans. “Confidential Information” also includes Personal Data supplied or provided by Melink Corporation. Vendor shall not disclose to any third party or use any Confidential Information of Melink
Corporation’s concerning this purchase order or other material intended for use in connection with this purchase order without Melink Corporation’s prior written consent. Any knowledge or information which Vendor may disclose to Melink Corporation in
connection with the purchase of any of the Deliverables shall not, unless Melink Corporation otherwise specifically agrees in writing, be deemed to be Confidential Information and shall be acquired free from any restriction as part of the consideration for this
purchase order.

15. Termination. At any time Melink Corporation, at its option, may terminate this order for convenience in whole or in part by written notice. A stop work order or any other form of written notice requiring Vendor to immediately cease performance under this
purchase order shall obligate Vendor to immediately stop work and take any actions necessary to mitigate the impact of such notice. If Melink Corporation does not give Vendor written notice to resume work within twenty (20) days after its initial stop work
order, this purchase order shall then be deemed terminated for Melink Corporation’s convenience as of the twenty-first (21st) day after the initial stop work order. Any claim of Vendor shall not exceed reasonable demonstrated costs it has incurred in
performance of this purchase order prior to notice of termination and shall in no event exceed the total amount of this purchase order. Melink Corporation shall remit to Vendor any payment due to Vendor for documentable and reasonable costs incurred
before receipt of Melink Corporation’s notice of termination in performance of this purchase order.

Party shall have the power or authority to bind or obligate the other Party.
