- LIABILITY.
IN NO EVENT WILL ECLIPTEK'S

under this contract, Ecliptek shall demand in writing adequate assurances of performance from Buyer and shall,
until such assurances are received from Buyer, suspend its performance under the contract. Upon receipt of a
justified demand, as provided hereunder, Buyer's failure to provide adequate assurances of performance,
acceptable to Ecliptek, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, shall be considered a repudiation of the
contract. In the event of a breach by Buyer, Buyer shall only be entitled to the pricing at the level for the units
delivered prior to termination and Ecliptek may pursue any other right or remedy which it may have for breach.

dispute, failure or delay in transportation, shortage of labor, fuel, raw material or machinery, accident, fire,
explosion, flood or storm or other acts of God, or acts of the judiciary, government or any agency thereof (each, a

Any approved change will list, if any, the amended cost and/or delivery considerations to be incurred by Buyer.

grounds to cancel an existing order due to Ecliptek not accepting a change by Buyer. Any additional or different
terms included on (or on the reverse of) any request for quotation, purchase order or other document of Buyer
shall not be binding unless accepted by Ecliptek in a signed writing. Buyer's acceptance of any product shipped

All orders are non-cancelable, non-reschedulable, and non-returnable to Ecliptek unless otherwise granted in
writing by an authorized Ecliptek employee. Buyer shall be responsible for the full purchase price of any product
that is completed, in transit, or in production.

specifications of products ordered by Buyer providing that the modifications do not materially affect the form, fit, or
function of the products.

California without regard to conflict of law rules or principles which might refer to the law of another jurisdiction.

ownership at the place of installation or during transit of the material or equipment which is the subject of this
contract, or an account of the transportation, sale, or use of the material or equipment.
