1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: These Terms apply to the purchase order or scheduling agreement (“Order”) issued by Varex Imaging Corporation or its affiliates or subsidiaries (“Varex”) to the Supplier identified on the Order (“Supplier”) to which these Terms are attached and Supplier agrees to sell the products specified in such Order pursuant to these Terms. While Supplier may acknowledge receipt of the Order by signing and returning it, any terms and conditions in any specific order acknowledgement documentation, invoice, or other writing, preprinted or otherwise, are rejected and shall not modify this Order. Any amendments to these Terms must be in writing and signed by both parties hereto.
2. ORDER ACCEPTANCE: Supplier shall notify Varex in writing by e-mail or facsimile within two (2) business days after receipt of an Order if Supplier is unable to accept Varex’s requested delivery schedule. Failure of Supplier to object to the requested delivery schedule within two (2) business days shall constitute acceptance.
3. PACKAGING AND SHIPMENT: Supplier shall comply with Varex’s shipping instructions. Supplier shall suitably wrap, box and/or crate all products to protect against hazards of shipment, storage, and exposure. All packages containing hazardous materials/dangerous goods shall be prepared in accordance with and comply with all applicable regulations. Supplier shall provide hazardous material data sheets promptly upon request. Itemized packing slips showing the Order number, Supplier’s part number (Varex’s part number if applicable) and quantity shipped must be on the outside of the box. Varex’s count shall be conclusive in the absence of a packing slip. No separate charge shall be made for cartons, wrapping, packing, boxing, crating, delivery, drayage or similar costs, unless otherwise agreed.
4. CHANGES: Varex may make changes to the Order at any time prior to shipment. If any change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for performance, Supplier may request an equitable adjustment by written amendment to the price and/or delivery schedule. Any claim by Supplier for adjustment shall be asserted in writing within two (2) days from the date of receipt of the written order directing the change; provided that Varex, in its discretion, may receive and act upon such claim asserted at any time before final payment. Costs used in determining contract price adjustments shall be direct costs reasonably incurred, together with applicable indirect costs, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles using Supplier’s customary accounting practices and procedures, consistently applied. Supplier shall prepare its proposed contract price adjustments as specified by Varex, which proposal and Supplier’s related books and records shall be subject to audit by Varex or its representatives. Where the cost of property made excess or obsolete as a result of a change is included in an equitable adjustment, Varex shall have the right to prescribe the disposition of such property.
5. DELIVERY: Unless otherwise agreed and stated on the face of the Order, all shipments are FCA (Incoterms 2020), Supplier’s shipping dock. The delivery date shall be as set forth in the Order or as mutually agreed upon by the parties. Time is of the essence with respect to this Order. Supplier shall immediately notify Varex in writing of any anticipated delay in meeting the delivery schedule, stating the root cause and corrective action for the delay. If Supplier’s delivery fails to meet the schedule, then Supplier shall, at Varex’s request, expedite the routing at Supplier’s expense. Supplier shall not deliver products (i) earlier than three (3) days prior to the scheduled delivery date or (ii) later than the scheduled delivery date, without Varex’s consent, and Varex may return early, late or excess shipments at Supplier’s sole risk and expense. Title and risk of loss for a product shall pass to Varex upon delivery to the first common carrier.
6. INSPECTION: Supplier shall maintain an inspection system adequate to ensure that all products conform to the requirements of the Order and their applicable specifications. Varex may accept, reject or require correction of defects (at no additional charge) after delivery or completion by Supplier of any required installation, whichever occurs last. If the Products are ordered in such large quantities that testing each unit is impractical, Varex inspection and testing may be limited to a representative sample of the products delivered under this Order. If the nonconformance rate indicated from such sampling is unacceptable, then Varex shall be entitled to return the entire shipment of that product, notwithstanding the fact that some individual units of the product may conform to the Specifications. Payment shall not constitute acceptance. If any Product delivered hereunder fails to conform to its applicable specifications, Varex shall notify Supplier of such failure and Supplier shall work on an expedited basis to deliver conforming products to Varex. If Supplier fails to cure all nonconforn1ities within a reasonable period (not to exceed thirty (30) days), Varex shall have the right, without liability, to cancel the Order for that product and any other products, the acceptance of which is impractical in Varex’s reasonable opinion as a result of Supplier’s failure. Supplier shall be liable to Varex for any nonconforming work or products and for any other damages suffered by Varex, except to the extent Supplier proves that such damages would have been mitigated but for the failure of Varex to timely notify Supplier.
7. QUALITY REQUIREMENTS:

For clarification purposes, applicable product changes may be inclusive of but not limited to, changes of sources of material, components and parts, changes in manufacturing processes, test procedures, manufacturing locations and relocation or replacement of any equipment utilized in manufacturing the product. Products affected by such changes may not be delivered to Varex until the Supplier has received written approval for the changes from Varex. At minimum, the change notice must include the Varex affected part number or software revision (if applicable), proposed date of implementation, serial number verification/ validation records, effectiveness of the assembly that is changed, reason for the change, specific details of the change (including price and lead-time changes) and, if available, supporting data that demonstrates that product reliability has not been impacted negatively. In addition, Varex has the right to request product samples for evaluation prior to approval by Varex of such product changes at no additional cost. Change control applies to product attributes that may affect the following: (i) Form – external appearance as would be noticed by the end user; (ii) Fit – backwards and forwards compatibility as determined by defined interfaces (firmware, software, electrical, mechanical, etc.); or (iii) Function – adherence to published specifications as listed on the product Insert (e.g., standard products) or agreed upon specifications (e.g., custom OEM products).

(“Regulatory Requirements”). Supplier shall allow, without notice, Varex, Notified Body of Varex or National Competent Authorities of countries where Varex markets its products to inspect the premises, manufacturing process, technical documentation and records (“Unannounced Inspections”) as required by the relevant medical device directives and other Regulatory Requirements. In addition, Supplier shall have agreements in effect with its subcontractors which ensure that its subcontractors agree to the same. In addition to such Unannounced Inspections, upon Varex’s written request, Supplier shall allow Varex (directly or through third parties) within a reasonable period of time to audit and inspect Supplier’s and its subcontractors’ quality management system and manufacturing process, as well as all other records that Supplier (and its subcontractors) is required to maintain hereunder, at periodic intervals, as well as copy any documents necessary to ensure Products and Services provided to Varex shall meet or exceed Varex’s requirements (a “Quality Audit”). Varex may also request periodic joint quality assurance meetings at the Supplier’s (or its subcontractors’) facility to evaluate Product quality and reliability, the manufacturing process and/or compliance to quality management system requirements. In the event that a Quality Audit finds or identifies any condition(s) that are not in compliance with these Requirements, Product specifications, or other quality system issues (hereinafter a “Finding”), then Supplier shall provide Varex with a written corrective action plan within a reasonable timeframe not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of the Quality Audit report. The corrective action plan shall, at a minimum, contain the results of an investigation into the cause of the Finding, a corrective action plan for addressing each Finding, and a schedule indicating when such corrective actions shall be implemented.

Prices are exclusive of all taxes unless otherwise specified by Varex on the face of the Order. Varex shall pay all sales and use taxes unless an exemption certificate is furnished by Varex to Supplier with respect to any products sold or licensed and any services rendered to Varex under this Order.

c. Effect of Termination: If Varex terminates part of the Order for any reason, Supplier shall diligently continue performance of the remainder. If Supplier’s default is not the result of excusable delay pursuant to Section 14 (Delay), Supplier shall be liable to Varex for any excess costs for repurchasing similar products or services and other damages incurred. If it is determined Supplier was not in default, such termination shall be converted to a Termination for Convenience. In no event shall Supplier be entitled to profit on terminated work remaining to be performed. Upon termination of this Order, Varex may require Supplier to transfer title and deliver, as directed by Varex, (i) any completed supplies, and (ii) such partially or fully completed supplies and materials, parts, tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, plans, drawings, information and contract rights as Supplier has produced or acquired for the performance of the terminated part of this Order, and Supplier shall, at Varex’s direction, protect and preserve property in Supplier’s possession in which Varex has an interest. Payment for delivered products accepted by Varex and for the protection and preservation of property shall be in an amount agreed upon; failure to agree shall be subject to Section 19 (Disputes). Notwithstanding any defenses of Supplier, Varex may set off, withhold or recover from Supplier such sums as may be claimed or withheld by Varex or its customer based upon or relating to any breach or alleged breach by Supplier or any of its subcontractors or suppliers at any tier, of any representations, certifications, or obligations under this contract or applicable laws, regulations, or orders of government agencies. Supplier shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Varex and any higher tier contractor to which Varex owes a similar obligation, from any and all loss, damage, expense and liability, including administrative expenses and attorney’s fees, relating in any way to any claims by any other person or entity arising out of or relating to any such breach or alleged breach.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: “Confidential Information” shall include all Varex non-public information (including but not limited to any specifications, drawings and other technical information) and any non-public information that is transmitted by one party to the other in connection with this Order, whether in written, oral, graphic, electronic, or any other form, which information is marked or indicated at the time of disclosure or observation as being “Confidential” or “Proprietary,” or which would be deemed by a reasonable person to be confidential in nature. Each party agrees that it shall use the same degree of care and means that it utilizes to protect its own information of a similar nature, but in any event not less than reasonable care and means, to prevent the unauthorized use or the disclosure of such Confidential Information to third parties. Confidential Information may be disclosed only to employees or contractors of a recipient (including subcontractors and affiliates) with a “need to know” who are instructed and agree in writing not to disclose the Confidential Information and not to use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with this Order. Recipient shall have appropriate written agreements with any such employees or contractors sufficient to allow recipient to comply with the provisions of this Order.

Recipient shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of Confidential Information that is made: (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If recipient files a lawsuit for retaliation by disclosing party for reporting a suspected violation of law, recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its attorney and use the Confidential Information in the court proceeding, if recipient files any document containing the Confidential Information under seal and does not disclose the Confidential Information except pursuant to court order. Neither party shall advertise, publish or otherwise disclose the terms and conditions of this Order without the prior written consent of the other party, except as required by law and except as necessary to litigate or otherwise pursue a claim.
