on its website. However, Purchaser acknowledges that Company is not the manufacturer of all

which may occur through whatever means, including electronic or telephonic, as may be offered

valid and complete Purchase Order, Company shall provide confirmation and shipment
information to the Purchaser within a reasonable time of receiving such information.

Order. At the time of any respective Purchase Order, Company and Purchaser shall agree as to the
terms of shipment, and all cost associated therewith shall be added to Purchaser’s final cost.
5. Terms of Payment. Purchaser, upon submitting a valid Purchase Order, hereby consents to
payment of all costs and expenses associated therewith, and further agrees to the terms and

shall not be responsible to fulfill shipment until full payment is received. Company may
issue any balance owed to Purchaser via invoice, which shall be payable in full within thirty
(30) days of receipt.
Purchaser’s failure to pay any required fees or expenses for Services shall be grounds for Company
to take any reasonable and necessary steps to collect amounts due and owing, including payment
of any court costs, collection fees, and attorney fees incurred therewith. For any amount that is not

by matters outside of Company’s control, including manufacturing delays, shipping delays, and
other Acts of God. The Parties shall address the necessity and terms of any Change Order to the
purchase when a delay occurs due to weather, flooding, drought, acts of God, fire, casualties, or
third-party conduct including manufacturer’s and freight provider’s delays, or any other delay that
is not caused by Company or its subcontractors, laborers or suppliers. The Parties shall discuss the
terms of any Change Order and neither party shall unreasonably withhold signature thereupon. All
Change Orders or amended Purchase Orders shall be in writing by both parties.

diligence ordinarily exercised by professional cleanroom product companies for services and under
circumstances similar to that contemplated by this Agreement, and to ensure that employees

products contemplated herewith, Purchaser shall inspect the deliverables and prepare a written
statement outlining any missing, damaged, or defective products. If Purchaser fails to provide such

limited to claims alleging negligence or breach of contract for all losses of any kind, including
economic loss or indemnity claims based on third party claims, to an amount not to exceed the
total fee paid under this Agreement. The recourse of Purchaser or its successors or assigns against
Company with respect to the alleged breach by or on the part of Company shall extend only to

any rights or benefits to anyone other than Company and Purchaser, unless such third party has
been expressly designated as a third-party beneficiary in this Agreement.
19. Independent Contractor. In connection with this Agreement, each party is an independent
contractor and as such will not have any authority to bind or commit the other. Nothing herein
shall be deemed or construed to create a joint venture, partnership, fiduciary or agency relationship
between the parties for any purpose.
20. Notices. Any notice or other communication given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing
to the individual (or its/his/her successor) who executed this Agreement and shall be effective when

Agreement, the obligations of the parties under this Agreement that by their nature continue beyond
the expiration of this Agreement shall survive any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
23. Equitable Remedies. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that its breach or threatened
breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the
other parties and monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, each party to
this Agreement agrees that if any party breaches or threatens to breach any of its obligations, each
of the other parties to this Agreement will be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary
restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other equitable relief available from
a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond). These equitable remedies
are in addition to all other rights and remedies that may be available in respect of the breach.
24. Dispute Resolution. Any controversy between Company and Purchaser arising under or relating
to this Agreement shall be determined by binding and non-appealable arbitration to be conducted

Arbitration Association. Hearings on such arbitration shall be held in Arapahoe County, Colorado,
unless otherwise agreed between the Parties. By signing this Agreement, the Parties hereto agree
to have any dispute arising out of the matters included or related to this Agreement decided by
neutral arbitration as provided by applicable law and understand that they are giving up any rights
they might possess to have the dispute litigated in a court or by jury trial, as well as giving up their
right to appeal. Except as provided herein, each Party will be responsible for its own legal fees
and expenses, and will share equally the expenses of the arbiter(s) and other related costs of arbitration.
If any claim is made by a party under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to its costs and reasonable attorney's fees at trial and on appeal.
25. Non-Disclosure of Proprietary Information. Without limiting the applicability of any other
agreement to which Purchaser is subject, Purchaser may not directly or indirectly disclose or use any
Confidential Information at any time during or after the terms of this Agreement. This restriction
includes the use of Confidential Information for personal, commercial, or proprietary advantage or
profit. Purchaser shall take all appropriate steps to safeguard the information and to protect it against
disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss, and theft. Upon Company’s request, Purchaser will promptly
return or destroy all copies of the Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement,
Confidential Information means trade secrets, proprietary information, and other information
belonging to Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof that are not generally known to the
public, including information about purchase structures, business plans, financial statements, and
other information provided under this Agreement, operating practices and methods, expansion plans,
strategic plans, marketing plans, contracts, customer lists, or other business documents that Company
or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof treats as confidential, in any format whatsoever including oral,
written, and electronic.
The parties stipulate that Confidential Information derives independent economic value, actual or
potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic
value from its disclosure or use and is the subject of secrecy efforts that are reasonable to uphold
under the circumstances. All Confidential Information is and will remain Company’s sole property.
Any breach of Purchaser’s duties with regard to the Confidential Information is a material breach of
this Agreement.
The restrictions of this Section do not apply to Confidential Information that: (i) is or becomes
generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser in violation of this
Agreement; (ii) is or becomes available to Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis before its disclosure
to Purchaser in compliance with this Agreement; or (iii) is or has been independently developed or
conceived by Purchaser without using Confidential Information.
If Purchaser is required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigation, demand, or similar process from a governmental authority, agency, or
tribunal) to disclose any Confidential Information, Purchaser shall promptly notify Company of the
request so that Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Associate shall
cooperate with Company with respect to any such proceeding.
26. Governing Law and Severability. This Agreement shall be governed by Colorado law. If any
term, condition or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any circumstances is
determined to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall not be affected and shall remain fully enforceable and valid.
27. Remedies Cumulative. Except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, the
rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in
substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law, in equity, or otherwise. No waiver
by a party of any default by the other will operate as, or be construed as, a waiver of any future
default, whether like or different in character.
28. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and communications, whether oral or written,
with respect to the subject matter hereof. No provision of this Agreement may be modified without
the mutual, written consent of both parties.
