What is a Global Supply Agreement?
A global supply agreement is a contract between a vendor and a global supplier that establishes the terms of the working relationship between the two. This agreement serves to define what products are being supplied, what the delivery schedule is on such products, and how much they will cost. The global supply agreement also includes important information about the responsibilties and obligations of both parties.
By signing a global supply agreement, each party protects the business relationship and their personal interests since the document is legally binding. In the event a formal legal complaint arises, the agreement provides vital claim support.

GLOBAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT
control); and (iii) specify if it is for a Spares Down Order (as defined in this Agreement).
Supplier shall accept communications of Authorized Demand Signals in the format designated by
Applied.
(b) Acceptance/Rejection of Orders. Supplier shall promptly communicate its acceptance or
rejection of an Authorized Demand Signal. Supplier shall not, however, reject an Authorized Demand
Signal for Items set forth on Attachment 1 so long as the Authorized Demand Signal conforms to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any notice of rejection shall state the specific grounds
for such rejection. Certain Authorized Demand Signals shall be deemed to be accepted as follows:
(i) An Authorized Demand Signal that is for a “Spares Down Order” will be [* *] accepted by
Supplier upon the [* *] after its receipt by Supplier unless Supplier objects by electronic or
telephonic notice within said [* *] period. Any telephonic notice of rejection shall be followed
by the delivery of written or electronic notice to Applied within [* *] of delivery of the rejected
Authorized Demand Signal.
(ii) An Authorized Demand Signal for an Item identified as “[* *],” “[* *]” or similar
designation on Attachment 1 sent via EDI or other electronic transmission will be [* *] accepted by
Supplier upon the expiration of [* *] after its receipt by Supplier, unless Supplier objects by
electronic notice within said [* *].
(iii) An Authorized Demand Signal for an Item set forth on Attachment 1 that is an Applied
purchase order (whether in hard copy or electronic form) shall be accepted upon the terms specified
within such order, provided that the Authorized Demand Signal conforms to the terms of this
Agreement and Attachment 1; or if the Authorized Demand Signal does not conform to the terms of
this Agreement and Attachment 1 such Authorized Demand Signal shall be accepted upon the terms
specified within such order provided that Supplier has [* *] the Authorized Demand Signal within [*
*]. For any other Authorized Demand Signal that is an Applied purchase order (whether in hard copy
or electronic form) such Authorized Demand Signal shall be accepted upon the terms specified within
such Authorized Demand Signal, provided that (a) the Authorized Demand Signal was submitted to [*
*] set forth in the Applied Web-Site database, (b) Supplier has failed to reject the Authorized
Demand Signal within [* *] and (c) the Item is a product that [* *] has, within the [* *] either to
[* *] or to any [* *] and the Item is not a product that [* *] has designated as [* *] or [* *].
For items that have not been sold and delivered within the preceding [* *], Supplier will make
commercially reasonable efforts to accept within the [* *] window, but failure to do so will not
cause [* *]. Nothing in this Section 3(b) shall require Supplier to provide to Applied products
that are subject to an exclusivity agreement between Supplier and a third party, and for which the
third party has not granted any consent to Supplier’s sale of such products to Applied for the
purpose of supporting an Applied customer service agreement.
In all events, any objection by Supplier to the terms of an Authorized Demand Signal shall be
deemed waived upon Supplier’s delivery of Items.
(c) Order Adjustments. Supplier acknowledges that, due to the highly cyclical nature of
the semiconductor equipment industry and other factors, Applied may be required to modify
Authorized Demand Signals from time to time. Applied may increase the quantity of Items in any
Authorized Demand Signal at any time prior to the scheduled delivery date and, provided such
increase falls within the Quantity Flexibility Matrix set forth below, (i) Supplier will deliver
such increased quantity with [* *] charges including [* *] or the like except as may be provided
for in Attachment 1, and (ii) such increase will not affect the delivery schedule of Items
previously ordered. This Section 3(c) shall not apply to orders for Items that are not set forth
on Attachment 1 unless the Authorized Demand Signal accepted by Supplier as set forth in this
Section 3 incorporates this Section 3 by reference.

If Applied requires an increase in the quantity of Items in any Authorized Demand Signal for Items
in Attachment 1 and such increase does not fall within the Quantity Flexibility Matrix set forth
above, then, if feasible and as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, Supplier will provide such
increased Items in accordance with the modified Authorized Demand Signal and Applied shall pay
costs resulting therefrom, provided such costs are (i) reasonable; (ii) authorized by Applied in
writing in advance of delivery; and (iii) identified separately from the unit price on Supplier’s
invoice to Applied.
(d) Reduction or Cancellation of an Authorized Demand Signal. If Applied requires a
reduction in the quantity of Items in any Authorized Demand Signal, or cancels any Authorized
Demand Signal, the Parties’ respective rights and obligations shall be as specified in Section 21.
(e) Purchases by Authorized Third Party. Certain Items may be incorporated into
subassemblies or other products made for Applied by a third party. In such event, Applied may
designate the third party as authorized to purchase such Item(s) from Supplier and, upon Supplier’s
receipt of notice thereof, Supplier shall enter into an agreement with such third party to sell
such Item(s) to such third party on terms (including [* *]) [* *] the terms set forth in this
Agreement specifically for use on subassemblies or other products that such third party will sell
directly to Applied.
(f) No Volume Commitment. Applied does not commit to purchase a specific volume of any
Item from Supplier except as specified in an Authorized Demand Signal and, subject to [* *] Rights
(as defined in Section 11(b)), or unless otherwise agreed in writing, Applied may manufacture or
buy goods and/or services from Third Parties that are identical or similar to the Items.
4. Pricing.
(a) Contract Price. “Contract Price” means the domestic and/or export price in U.S.
Dollars for an Item as set forth on Attachment 1; provided, that if a price for an Item is not
specified on Attachment 1, then the Contract Price shall be the price set forth in an Authorized
Demand Signal that is accepted by Supplier in accordance with this Agreement. The Contract Price
for each Item shall remain in effect throughout the Term, except for any price changes mutually
agreed to by the Parties from time to time in writing. In the event Applied desires to purchase an
Item not listed in Attachment 1, authorized representatives of Applied and Supplier will agree upon
the price and delivery date in writing as a separate transaction, but subject to the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) Pricing Components. The Contract Price, and any quotations for Items, shall include
all finishing, testing, inspecting and packaging fees, applicable royalties and all applicable
taxes (excluding sales, use and similar taxes). Any quotations for Items shall include all costs
relating to warranties. Under typical circumstances, quotations for Items shall not include any
amounts relating to (i) initial set-up charges; (ii) costs for special dies, tools, patterns or
test fixtures; and (iii) non-recurring engineering fees amortized into the per unit price, unless
separately identified and itemized. Quotations for prototypes shall reflect the total value of
Applied’s business with Supplier. In this regard, Supplier shall consider providing a specific
number of prototype Items [* *] and/or pricing prototypes [* *].
(c) Transportation Costs. For Items to be delivered to a destination within the country
from which the shipment originated, pricing in a quotation or as set forth in Attachment 1 shall

GLOBAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT
provided that Applied’s Transportation Routing Guide then in effect for such Items offers Supplier
a direct bill-to-Applied option for such transportation costs in accordance with Section 6(b)(i).
If Applied’s Transportation Routing Guide then in effect for such Items does not offer Supplier a
direct bill-to-Applied option for such transportation costs in accordance with Section 6(b)(i), all
transportation costs shall be separately identified and itemized in a quotation. For Items to be
delivered outside the country from which the shipment originated, all costs for shipping,
import/export fees, customs, insurance and other transportation expenses shall be separately
identified and itemized in a quotation, except in cases where Applied’s Transportation Routing
Guide then in effect for such Items offers Supplier a direct bill-to-Applied option for such
transportation costs in accordance with Section 6(b)(i).
(d) Price Adjustments. Supplier shall implement all committed price [* *] set forth in
this Agreement and on Attachment 1. All quantities of Items purchased by Applied and its
subsidiaries purchasing under this Agreement will be aggregated for purposes of calculating
applicable price adjustments. Any change in circumstances (such as a change in Applied’s [* *] or
a change in industry conditions), may result in a review of Agreement terms and/or negotiated
adjustment in the Contract Price. Subject to Section 11(f) and 11(g) of this Agreement regarding
prohibited activities and confidentiality, if [* *] any good which is [* *], at a [* *] price than
the Contract Price, then [* *] agrees to notify [* *] thereof and, if acceptable to [* *], to [*
*].
(e) Taxes. Applied will pay any applicable sales, use or similar tax imposed in connection
with the sale of Items to Applied; provided, that Supplier shall not charge or collect, and Applied
shall have no liability for, taxes on any sale of Items for which Applied has provided Supplier
with an appropriate resale certificate or other documentation evidencing an exemption from such
taxes. For all sales of Items upon which tax reimbursement to Supplier is applicable, Supplier
shall separately identify and itemize all applicable taxes on invoices submitted to Applied.
(f) [* *]. Subject to Section 11(f) and Section 11(g) of this Agreement, Supplier warrants
and agrees that, if such sales are permitted, it [* *] which offer the [* *] as any Items [* *].
When making the determination as to whether [* *], Supplier shall take into account the [* *]. If
Supplier enters into an agreement and [* *], then Supplier will provide prompt notice to Applied,
and if agreed upon by Applied, this Agreement [* *]. If, as a result of any such [* *], the [* *]
of an Item is [* *], Supplier will [* *]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Supplier
offer or sell Items to Applied at prices or on terms that would be unlawfully discriminatory under
applicable law.
5. Delivery of Items.
(a) Delivery Requirements.
Time is of the essence as to the delivery of all Items ordered under this Agreement. Supplier shall meet the (i) negotiated lead time; (ii) order adjustment requirements as set forth in Section 3; and (iii) time, date, location and other delivery requirements for Items, as specified in Attachment 1 or, if not set forth in Attachment 1, as set forth in the Authorized Demand Signal for said Items, irrespective of which Applied organization or division has issued the Authorized Demand Signal. Delivery will be considered timely only if Items are delivered in the correct quantity, and at the time, date and location specified in the Authorized Demand Signal. If necessary for Supplier to meet its delivery requirements, Supplier at its expense, will use expedited delivery methods to complete and deliver the Items within the lead times specified in Attachment 1. Supplier will also use expedited delivery methods to complete and deliver Items outside of the lead times specified in Attachment 1 if such terms have been accepted by Supplier in accordance with Section 3(b) of this Agreement and, in such instances, Supplier may, in addition to the price of the Items, charge Applied and expedited delivery fee; provided that Applied has agreed to such fee prior to Supplier’s acceptance of the Authorized Demand Signal. If Applied requests a change to the delivery date set forth in an Authorized Demand Signal and Supplier agrees to such change Supplier may use expedited delivery methods to complete and deliver the Items in accordance with the revised delivery date, and may charge Applied an expedited delivery fee, provided that Applied has agreed to such fee prior to Supplier’s acceptance of the revised delivery date.
Time is of the essence as to the delivery of all Items ordered under this Agreement.

If necessary for Supplier to meet its delivery requirements, Supplier at its expense, will use expedited delivery methods to complete and deliver the Items within the lead times specified in Attachment 1. Supplier will also use expedited delivery methods to complete and deliver Items outside of the lead times specified in Attachment 1 if such terms have been accepted by Supplier in accordance with Section 3(b) of this Agreement and, in such instances, Supplier may, in addition to the price of the Items, charge Applied and expedited delivery fee; provided that Applied has agreed to such fee prior to Supplier’s acceptance of the Authorized Demand Signal.

Support (“CPS”) or its successor entity. As to any Authorized Demand Signal identified as a
“Spares Down Order,” Supplier shall
(i) respond (via telephonically or electronically) within [* *] to any Applied inquiry
relating to a Spares Down Order if such Order is submitted to [* *] for the Item in
question;
(ii) for any Authorized Demand Signal accepted by Supplier, ship the Items set forth in the
Spares Down Order within
i. [* *] following receipt of a Spares Down Order if such Order is submitted to [*

Supplier local time, then before [* *] Supplier local time the following business
day; and
(iii) notify (via telephone or electronically) Applied when the Item set forth in the Spares
Down Order leaves the Supplier’s facility. If Supplier cannot meet all of Applied’s
delivery requirements for Items ordered, then Supplier shall (A) provide notice to Applied
of such event, and (B) prioritize Items set forth in a Spares Down Order over other Items
ordered via any other Authorized Demand Signal. Supplier shall comply with any special
packaging and labeling requirements as to any Spares Down Order, as set forth in the
Packaging Specification (0250 00098), Unit Packaging Label Specifications (0250-60124) and
Packaging (0250-00098 & 0251-05100) and Marking (0250-01033) located on the Applied Web
Site.
(c) Remedies. If Supplier fails to deliver any Item at the time and place as set forth
in an Authorized Demand Signal accepted by Supplier in accordance with this Agreement, Applied
shall have the right, at its sole option, to (i) require Supplier, at [* *]‘s expense, to [* *] to
complete and deliver the Items; (ii) allocate or redirect the Supplier’s deliveries of Items to
certain Applied facilities; or (iii) [* *] and charge Supplier with [* *], which cost may include
[* *]. If Applied elects to [* *] above, then Applied agrees that the [* *] for which the Supplier
will be liable, including the [* *].
6. Shipping and Risk of Loss.
(a) Shipping and Packaging Requirements.
(i) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Supplier will ship all Items in
accordance with Transportation Routing Guide located on the Applied Web Site, including use of
approved carriers as may be applicable given the classification of the shipment (i.e., domestic or
international).
(ii) Supplier shall comply with any special packaging and labeling requirements for Items as
set forth in Unit Packaging Label Specifications (0250-60124) and Packaging (0250-00098 &
0251-05100) and Marking (0250-01033) located on the Applied Web Site. In the event such Business
Processes are not applicable to an Item, the Item shall be packaged, marked and labeled in
accordance with best commercial practices. In all events, however, Supplier must include a valid
packing slip number or package ID on each package or shipment of Items.

GLOBAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT
(b) Shipments and Insurance.
(i) Shipping Costs. For all Items, [* *] shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses (other than insurance) to deliver the Items to the applicable destination point once such
Items have been tendered to the carrier, provided that [* *] complies with [* *] then in effect.
All delivery costs and expenses for such shipment shall be specified as “[* *]” on bills of lading
or shipping receipts, to be paid directly by [* *]. Unless specifically approved by [* *] in
advance, [* *] shall not be responsible for delivery costs and expenses (i) in excess of the costs
determined under [* *]; (ii) payable to carriers not approved under [* *], (iii) incurred as a
result of [* *]‘s need to [* *], or (iv) incurred in connection with the transportation of Items
between [* *] or any other supplier.
(ii) Insurance and Risk of Loss. In all events, Supplier shall be responsible to
insure or self insure such Item during transport up to at least the Contract Price of such Item.
Supplier shall be responsible for the risk of loss to an Item until delivered to the applicable
destination point and accepted by Applied. In addition, Supplier’s responsibility for risk of loss
continues with respect to any Item rejected by Applied, or as to any Item for which acceptance is
revoked, except if such loss is caused by the gross negligence of Applied’s employees acting within
the scope of their employment.
7. Acceptance and Title Transfer.
(a) Acceptance and Title Transfer. Title to an Item will transfer to Applied upon
acceptance of an Item, which shall occur in the event that: i) Applied or its designee has received
the Item as the specified destination point; and ii) either 1) Applied or its designee has entered
the Item into Applied’s internal systems, or 2) a period of [* *] from the delivery of the Item has
elapsed, whichever period of time is [* *]. Applied may reject and return any Item that does not
conform to the applicable Specifications and incur no liability or obligation related to such Item.
As to Items that are rejected and returned, Applied may recover and offset or adjust payments in
respect of such Items, including any costs or fees related to shipping and insuring such Items.
(b) Payment Upon Consumption Model. “Payment Upon Consumption” means a payment process
by which Supplier would retain title to all Items until such time as Applied has fully integrated
such Items into the products manufactured by Applied. Upon Applied’s request to implement a
Payment Upon Consumption process, Supplier will not unreasonably refuse to do so, and the Parties
agree to negotiate in good faith to enter into an agreement setting forth the terms and conditions
of such process.
8. Payment.
(a) Payment Terms. Payment by Applied for an Item will be made [* *] from the later of
the date of (i) Applied’s receipt of an invoice for the Item consistent with the terms of this
Agreement and (ii) Applied’s acceptance of the Item. Applied is authorized by Supplier to make
payments under this Agreement by either check or electronic funds transfer, and Supplier shall
provide Applied with the information necessary for electronic funds transfer capability.
(b) Invoices. Upon Applied’s request, Supplier shall not unreasonably refuse to
participate in Applied’s Evaluated Receipts Settlement (“ERS”) Program, whereby Supplier is paid
based on the quantity of Items received and the Contract Price for such Items, without Supplier
providing an invoice. The terms and conditions of the ERS Program are as set forth in ERS Program
Requirements located on the Applied Web Site. If the Parties agree that Supplier will not
participate in the ERS Program, then Supplier will remit an Item invoice to Applied no earlier than
when the Item is shipped to Applied and adhere to the requirements for invoices section of
Invoicing Requirements for Non-ERS Suppliers located on the Applied Web Site.
(c) Effect of Payment and [* *]. Applied’s payment for an Item shall not affect the [* *]
nor shall it preclude [* *]. All payments shall be subject to adjustment for [* *]. Applied may
at any time [* *].

(d) Reconciliation of Payment Discrepancies. As to any payment discrepancy, including any
claim by Supplier against Applied for payment, nonpayment, damages or other adjustments as to
delivered Items (a “Payment Discrepancy”), Supplier must, as a condition precedent to any such
claim, give notice of its Payment Discrepancy claim by properly completing and delivering to

(a) General. “Applied Confidential Information” means all information obtained by,
disclosed to, or developed by Supplier and that is based on, incorporates, constitutes or derived
from any of the following: (i) samples, schematics, drawings, designs, Specifications, manuals,
Applied Forecasts or other forecasts, Authorized Demand Signals, customer information and other
technical, business, financial or trade secret information obtained from or through Applied
including Internal Applied Data; and (ii) all other proprietary, technical, business, financial or
trade secret information obtained by Supplier from or through Applied during the term of Applied
and Supplier’s business relations, or in connection with the negotiation, performance or
enforcement of this Agreement; provided that the information disclosed to Supplier by Applied or
upon which Supplier based or derived such information was clearly marked as ‘Applied Materials

information that (A) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault or act of
Supplier; (B) is rightfully received by Supplier from a third party not subject to restriction on
disclosure of such information; (C) is independently developed by Supplier without the use of any
Confidential Information of Applied’s; or (D) was rightfully in the possession of Applied prior to
its disclosure by or on behalf of Supplier; provided, however, that such information shall be
Confidential Information to the extent that (1) such information constitutes specific information,
even if it is embraced by more general information which is a matter of public knowledge or in the
possession of Supplier, or (2) such information is a combination of individual items of
information, even if that combination could be reconstructed from non-confidential sources if none
of the non-confidential sources shows the whole combination and its principle of operation; and,
provided further, that the sale or unrestricted disclosure of an Item or other article or product
made through a confidential manufacturing process of Supplier shall not be deemed to constitute a
public disclosure of the process. Supplier shall use reasonable care to protect the
confidentiality of Confidential Information of Applied and in any event, shall use at least that
degree of care that such Supplier uses to protect its own like information.
(b) Permitted and Prohibited Activities. Except as expressly set forth in this Section
9(b) or agreed to by Applied in writing, Supplier (i) may use Confidential Information solely for
the purpose of providing Items to Applied and may provide Confidential Information only to those

that it is clearly marked as “Applied Materials Confidential Information;” and (ii)shall not use
or disclose any Applied Confidential Information for any purpose, including: (a) reverse
engineering the Items; (b) developing, designing, manufacturing, engineering, refurbishing, selling
or offering for sale, any good or service in violation of Subsections 11(g) and (h) of this
Agreement; or (c) assisting any third party in any manner to perform any such activities. Subject
to Section 11 below, in addition, Supplier shall not make or sell to any third party any good or
service that may be used or sold as a replacement for any Item or other good provided or sold by
Supplier for which Applied provided Supplier with Confidential Information at any time, including
modifications to Items. Supplier’s obligations under this Section 9 shall not apply to any
disclosure required by applicable law, court order or legal process, provided that (1) with respect
to any disclosure required under the securities laws, Supplier shall (a) promptly notify Applied of
its intent to make such disclosure, which notice shall be in writing and delivered at least [* *]‘
prior to the intended disclosure (or such shorter period as necessary to comply with applicable
law), (b) seek confidential treatment from the

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for any agreements or other documents filed with the SEC
by proposing redactions for all financial terms and such other terms as agreed by the Parties after
conferring in good faith and consistent with applicable law; (2) with respect to any disclosure
required pursuant to court order or legal process, Supplier shall provide Applied with at least [*
*] advance written notice to permit Applied to seek a protective order and shall reasonably
cooperate with the Applied in connection therewith; and (3) with respect to any other disclosure
required by applicable law, Supplier will use reasonable efforts to provide Applied with reasonable
advance written notice of such required disclosure, use reasonable efforts to secure confidential
treatment of the Confidential Information prior to its disclosure, reasonably cooperate with
Applied in connection therewith, and disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to
comply with such requirements.
(c) Other NDA’s. During the business relationship between Supplier and Applied one or more
NDA’s may be, or may have been, entered into. In the event of an apparent conflict between or
among provision(s) of this Agreement and any NDA, such provisions shall be read in a mutually
consistent way, or if no such reading is reasonably possible, the provision(s) that are most
protective of the confidential information of either Party shall take precedence over conflicting
or less protective provision(s).
(d) Equitable Relief. Supplier agrees that Applied would suffer irreparable harm for which
monetary
damages are an inadequate remedy, and that equitable relief is appropriate, if Supplier
were to breach or threaten to breach any obligations in this Section 9.
(e) Press Releases/Publicity Not Authorized. Except as specified in Section 9(b) above,
Supplier will not issue any press release, advertising, publicity or public statement or in any way
engage in any other form of public disclosure that indicates Applied’s relationship with Supplier
or implies any endorsement by Applied of Supplier or Supplier’s products or Services, without the
prior written approval of Applied.
(f) Disposal of Confidential Information. Upon the termination or expiration of the
Agreement, and otherwise upon the request of Applied, Supplier will promptly return to Applied all
Applied Confidential Information and all documentation that reveal or are based in any way on
Applied Confidential Information, and permanently eliminate the same from all of its computer and
information storage systems. Thereafter, Supplier shall cease all use of Applied Confidential
Information. Supplier may, however, with Applied’s prior written approval, destroy any Applied
Confidential Information or documentation, provided that Supplier certifies to Applied the
destruction of such Confidential Information or documentation reflecting same. In addition,
Supplier agrees it will immediately return to Applied any materials provided to it to facilitate

hardware that is dedicated solely to Applied, or otherwise separated from other information of
Supplier, so that the Internal Applied Data is not accessible to individuals except as authorized
by this Agreement. If Applied provides Supplier with any recommendations for establishing an
interface or other methods of accessing the Internal Applied Data, Supplier assumes all risk in
implementing any such recommendation. Supplier acknowledges that the Internal Applied Data may be
made available via a software program which, for convenience, may identify Supplier as the “Design
Owner” or “Owner” in certain instances, or use other terms which may appear to be inconsistent with
the terms of Section 11 (Intellectual Property Rights). Such inconsistent terms will not apply to
nor affect the terms of Section 11 of this Agreement.
(c) Consent to Monitoring. Supplier agrees that its access to and use of Internal
Applied Data and all acts in connection with Applied’s internal systems are recorded and may be
monitored. Supplier expressly consents to such recording and monitoring. If such recording or

Supplier [* *], provided that this exclusion shall not alter or limit [* *]; (b) is caused by [* *]
of the Item that is not in accordance with any written instructions accompanying the Item.
(b) Services. Supplier represents and warrants that for the period of time as defined in
Attachment 1, or such other period of time as may be mutually agreed upon in writing between
Applied and Supplier, Services performed in connection with this Agreement will be performed in a
competent, professional and workmanlike manner, free from defects, and in accordance with the best
professional practices in the industry.
(c) Free from Infringement. Supplier represents and warrants that the manufacture, and
sale of the Items, shall not give rise to, nor be subject to, any claim or liability for

warranty for no less than an additional [* *] from the date on which the warranty for the Item
would otherwise expire.
(g) Timing. If Supplier receives notice that an Item is defective or non-confirming,
then Supplier will use the most expeditious manner possible to effect the action specified by
Applied, including the use of overnight delivery services for shipment of Items to and from
Applied. For any Item for which a repair or replacement timeline is identified in Attachment 1,
Supplier will repair or replace such Item within such timeline. In all events, however, as to any
Items that Applied identifies as “production” or that are delivered by Supplier for the purposes of
production, Supplier will [* *] the defective or non-conforming Item as [* *] with a [* *] turn
around of [* *] from receipt of Applied’s request.
(h) Costs. Applied shall be responsible for the cost of freight, customs and other fees

respect to any of the following: (i) Specifications; (ii) the place and date of delivery of Items;
or (iii) the place, date and manner of inspection or acceptance of Items. Supplier agrees that it
will use reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests in a timely and cost effective manner. If
any request for such changes causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or time required for
performance of the Agreement, Applied will consider an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price
or delivery schedule, or both, and the Agreement shall be modified in writing accordingly. If
Applied and Supplier are unable to agree upon an equitable adjustment, then Applied may [* *]. No
claim by Supplier for adjustment under this subsection shall be valid unless in writing and
received by Applied within [* *] from the date of Supplier’s receipt of the notice of such change;

Supplier shall monitor and report its [* *] and [* *] Item count to Applied for all [* *]
Inventory.
(d) Claim for [* *] Items. If Applied has not taken delivery of any unit of a [* *] Item
in [* *] Inventory within [* *] from the date of Applied’s last receipt of any such unit, Supplier
may then submit a claim for reimbursement for such [* *] Items to Applied within [* *] from the end
of such [* *] period. Supplier’s failure to submit such a claim within this [* *] period shall
constitute waiver of any claim for reimbursement for such [* *] Items and Applied shall be released
from all liability relating to such [* *] Item.
(e) Claim for [* *] Items. A [* *] Item in [* *] Inventory will be considered an “[* *]
Item” when Applied provides notice to Supplier that such [* *] Item is an “[* *] Item.” If
Supplier desires to submit a claim for costs associated with [* *] Items, then Supplier shall
submit a claim for such [* *] Item(s) within [* *] from the date on which Applied notifies Supplier
that the [* *] Item(s) are [* *] Items. Supplier’s failure to submit such a claim within this [*
*] period shall constitute a waiver of any claim for reimbursement for such [* *] Items and Applied
shall be released from all liability relating to such [* *] Items.
(f) Scope of Claim. Applied will not be liable for [* *] Inventory other than as described
in this Section 16. In addition, no claim for [* *] payment for [* *] Inventory shall be made in
the following situations: (i) any termination by Applied pursuant to Section 21(a) (Termination for

been [* *] previously or has made a claim for reimbursement or payment for such Items previously;
or (v) if such Items are “[* *] Items” meaning Items that are [* *], except to the extent that
Supplier [* *] such [* *] Items to [* *] and such Item is identified as such an “[* *] Item” on
Attachment 1.
(g) Claim Process. Any claim made under this Section will be addressed based on [* *].
Supplier is responsible for [* *] and otherwise making all efforts to mitigate the cost to Applied
in any such claim. Any claim shall be supported by [* *] evidence including [* *], as well as a
detailed description of Supplier’s efforts to mitigate the costs to Applied. Supplier’s claim will
be based solely on [* *]. No [* *] cost will be considered in calculating such claims. Applied
reserves the right to physically audit the inventory levels identified in the claim. Such audit
shall be conducted in accordance with Section 19(e).
(h) Disposal of [* *]and [* *]Items. Supplier agrees to physically dispose of all [* *]

Supplier’s business and operations as Applied may reasonably request but only to the extent that
Supplier, as a publicly held company, either has an obligation to make this information publicly
available or is legally permitted to make this information available on a selective disclosure
basis. At any time during the Term and for [* *] thereafter, an auditor designated by Applied and
reasonably acceptable to Supplier shall have the right, at Applied’s expense and upon reasonable
notice, to conduct audits of all of the relevant books, records, inventory, agreements, data
connections, and other documents of Supplier in order to verify and determine (i) the accuracy of
any financial statements delivered by Supplier to Applied pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) whether
all amounts charged by Supplier comply with this Agreement; and (iii) whether Supplier is otherwise

23. Indemnity by Supplier.
(a) Supplier shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Applied from and against any and all claims,
demands, suits, actions, losses, penalties, damages (whether actual, punitive, consequential or
otherwise), authorized settlements, and all other liabilities and associated costs and expenses,
including attorney’s fees, expert’s fees, costs of investigation and other costs of litigation (all
of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of or relating
to (i) Supplier’s breach of any provision of the Agreement; (ii) any negligent, grossly negligent
or intentional acts, errors or omissions by Supplier, its employees, officers, agents or

at Applied’s option (1) procure for Applied and its customers the right to continue to use, sell
and resale any affected Item, (2) with respect to a claim for infringement, modify the affected
Item so that it is no longer infringing, or (3) replace any affected Item with a non-infringing
good or Service comparable to the affected Item. If none of these alternatives are possible,
Applied shall have the right to return or destroy, at Applied’s option, any affected Items for a
full refund of the purchase price, plus applicable transportation costs.
(b) In the event of any such Indemnified Liabilities, Applied shall (i) promptly notify Supplier;
(ii) at Supplier’s expense, reasonably cooperate with Supplier in the defense of such claim; and
(iii) not settle any such Indemnified Liabilities without Supplier’s written consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Supplier shall keep Applied informed at all times as to
the status of Supplier’s efforts and consult with Applied and/or its counsel regarding such
efforts. Supplier shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of Applied,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
24. Import and Export Requirements.
(a) General. Supplier shall comply with all applicable export control laws or regulations

duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization; and (ii) Supplier’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and Supplier’s
performance of its obligations hereunder will not (1) violate any provision of the charter, bylaws
or other governing document of Supplier, or (2) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute
a default under, any other agreement or arrangement by which Supplier is bound.
(l) Force Majeure. If and to the extent that a Party’s performance of any of its
obligations pursuant to this Agreement is prevented, hindered or delayed by fire, flood,
earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders,
rebellions, revolutions, strikes, labor disputes or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable
control of such Party (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), then the non-performing, hindered or delayed
Party shall be excused for such non-performance, hindrance or delay, as applicable, of those
obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues;
provided, that such Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence
performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay, including through the use of
alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the
Force Majeure Event continues for a period of more than thirty (30) days, Applied may terminate
this Agreement effective upon delivery of notice to Supplier and such termination shall be deemed a
termination pursuant to Section 21(a). The Party whose performance is prevented, hindered or
delayed by a Force Majeure Event shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of the occurrence
of a Force Majeure Event and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event.
(m) No Agency. Each Party shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and not an
agent, joint venturer or representative of the other Party, and neither Party may create any
obligations or responsibilities on behalf of or in the name of the other Party. Each Party also
agrees not to make false or misleading statements, claims or representations about the other Party,
its products or the relationship of the Parties.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
