STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

For Semiconductor Products

1. Offer and Acceptance:
   Apogee Semiconductor, Inc. (“APOGEE SEMI”) offers to sell and deliver semiconductor and related products in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein (“Standard Terms”). A recipient (“Buyer”) of APOGEE SEMI’s products is assumed to have accepted these Standards Terms in their entirety. APOGEE SEMI hereby rejects any different terms, including those that may appear in or be implied by a Buyer’s purchase order or any means of communication, unless APOGEE SEMI explicitly agrees to such different terms in writing.
2. Prices and Releases:
   APOGEE SEMI’s quoted price at the time APOGEE SEMI receives Buyer’s purchase order, unless expired, shall continue to apply if the quantity ordered is released by APOGEE SEMI within twelve months. If more than twelve months have elapsed since the quote was provided, APOGEE SEMI’s price in effect on the actual release date shall apply for the quantity shipped at that time.
3. Title and Delivery:
   Shipments inside the U.S. shall be delivered EXW (Ex Works) APOGEE SEMI’s facility in Texas, unless explicitly stated otherwise on quote from APOGEE SEMI. Shipments to outside the U.S. shall be delivered FCA (Incoterms 2010) Buyer’s designated carrier.  Title and liability for loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon APOGEE SEMI’s delivery to Buyer’s designated carrier. APOGEE SEMI will not be responsible for any subsequent loss or damage. Buyer shall reimburse APOGEE SEMI for insurance and transportation costs on international shipments and shall be responsible for all import duties, taxes and any other expenses incurred or licenses or clearances required. APOGEE SEMI may deliver products in installments. Delivery dates that are communicated ahead of actual delivery are only estimates. APOGEE SEMI shall not be liable for any damage, losses or expenses resulting from the actual delivery dates deviating from the estimated dates.
4. Payment Terms:
   If APOGEE SEMI extends credit to Buyer, payment terms shall be net thirty (30) days after APOGEE SEMI’s invoice. Payment shall be in U.S. dollars unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing.  APOGEE SEMI may change or withdraw credit amounts or payment terms at any time for any reason. If the products are delivered in installments, Buyer shall pay for each installment in accordance with the above payment terms. If Buyer fails to make any payment when due, APOGEE SEMI may suspend or cancel performance under any agreements in which APOGEE SEMI has extended credit to Buyer. APOGEE SEMI’s suspension of performance may result in rescheduling delays. If, in APOGEE SEMI’s judgment, Buyer’s financial condition does not justify the payment terms specified herein, then APOGEE SEMI may terminate the contract unless Buyer immediately pays for all products that have been delivered and pays in advance for all products to be delivered. Termination in accordance with this clause shall not affect APOGEE SEMI’s right to pursue any other available remedies.
5. Taxes:
   Prices do not include applicable taxes or duties. Buyer is solely responsible for paying all applicable taxes and duties. APOGEE SEMI will add sales taxes to the sales price where required by applicable law, and Buyer will pay such taxes unless Buyer provides APOGEE SEMI with a duly executed sales tax exemption certificate. If Buyer is required by law to withhold any amount of tax from its payment to APOGEE SEMI, Buyer shall promptly pay such amount to the appropriate tax authority and take all reasonable steps to minimize such withholding tax.
6. Contingencies:
   APOGEE SEMI shall not be in breach of this contract and shall not be liable for any non-performance or delay in performance if such non-performance or delay is due to a force majeure event or other circumstances beyond APOGEE SEMI’s reasonable control, including but not limited to, shortages of labor, energy, fuel, machinery or materials, technical or yield failures, war, civil unrest, any government act, law or regulation, including any judicial order or decree, any communication or power failure, labor dispute, natural disaster, fire, explosion, or terrorist act.
