TERMS OF AGREEMENT
The purchase order, together with these terms and conditions, and any attachments and exhibits, specifications, drawings, notes, instructions and other information, whether physically attached or incorporated by reference (collectively the “Purchase Order”), constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between Mimosa Networks, Inc. (“Mimosa”) and the supplier (the “Supplier”) identified in the Purchase Order. Mimosa’s submission of the Purchase Order is conditioned on Supplier’s agreement that any terms different from or in addition to the terms of the Purchase Order, whether communicated orally or contained in any purchase order confirmation, invoice, acknowledgement, release, acceptance or other written correspondence, irrespective of the timing, shall not form a part of the Purchase Order, even if Supplier purports to condition its acceptance of the Purchase Order on Mimosa’s agreement to such different or additional terms. Supplier’s electronic acceptance, acknowledgement of this Purchase Order, or commencement of performance constitutes Supplier’s acceptance of these terms and conditions. The Purchase Order does not constitute a firm offer within the meaning of Section 2205 of the California Commercial Code, and may be revoked at any time prior to acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a master agreement covering procurement of the Work described in the Purchase Order exists between Supplier and Mimosa, the terms of such master agreement shall prevail over any inconsistent terms herein.

Supplier will immediately notify Mimosa if Supplier’s timely performance under the Purchase Order is delayed or is likely to be delayed. Mimosa’s acceptance of Supplier’s notice will not constitute Mimosa’s waiver of any of Supplier’s obligations.

3.3 Mimosa will hold any Work rejected under this Purchase Order at Supplier’s risk and expense, including storage charges, while awaiting Supplier’s return shipping instructions. Supplier will bear all return shipping charges, including without limitation, insurance charges Mimosa incurs on Supplier’s behalf. Mimosa may, in its sole discretion, destroy or sell at a public or private sale any rejected Work for which Mimosa does not receive return shipping instructions within a reasonable time, and apply the proceeds, if any, first toward any storage charges.
3.4 Supplier will preserve, pack, package and handle the Deliverables and Products so as to protect the Deliverables and Products from loss or damage and in accordance with best commercial practices in the absence of any specifications Mimosa may provide. Without limiting the foregoing, Supplier shall observe the requirements of any local laws and regulations relating to hazardous work, including, without limitation, with respect to its accompanying information, packing, labeling, reporting, carriage and disposal.
3.5 Supplier will include with each delivery of Products a packing list identifying the Purchase Order number, the Mimosa part number for each of the Products (if applicable), a description and the quantity of each of the Products, and the date of shipment.

Seller assumes responsibility for all shipping and delivery charges including, without limitation, customs, duties, costs, taxes and insurance. Risk of loss for the Deliverables and Products does not pass to Mimosa until acceptance in accordance with Section 6.

Supplier will, at Mimosa’s request, break-out from the price all such taxes and other charges, in its invoices. Supplier shall use its best efforts to assist Mimosa in all legal efforts to minimize the taxes resulting from the performance of this Purchase Order.
4.2 Mimosa will pay Supplier the price in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Purchase Order following the later of: (i) the Delivery Date; (ii) the date of Mimosa’s acceptance of all of the Work; or (iii) Mimosa’s receipt of a properly prepared invoice.

If applicable, payment will be in the currency of the country in which the Mimosa entity or affiliate identified in the Purchase Order is located, and if the price set forth in the Purchase Order is not in the local currency, then Mimosa will determine the local currency equivalent of the price as of the date of payment. Mimosa may, at any time, set-off any amounts Supplier owes Mimosa against any amounts Mimosa owes to Supplier or any of its affiliated companies.

Supplier hereby grants Mimosa a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, royalty-free, nonexclusive license, with the right to sublicense and authorize the granting of sublicenses, to use and reproduce Supplier’s Pre-existing Materials in the Deliverables to the extent necessary for Mimosa’s exercise and exploitation of its rights in the Deliverables.
5.3 Unless otherwise specified in an SOW, Supplier will obtain and assign to Mimosa a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable license to use all Third Party Intellectual Property Rights incorporated into, required to use, or delivered with the Work. Supplier will deliver copies of the above releases and licenses to Mimosa upon Mimosa’s request.
INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
Mimosa may reject any or all of the Work which does not conform to the applicable requirements within ten (10) business days of Supplier’s delivery of the Work. At Mimosa’s option, Mimosa may (i) return the non-conforming Work to Supplier for a refund or credit; (ii) require Supplier to replace the non-conforming Work; or (iii) repair the non-conforming Work so that it meets the requirements. As an alternative to (i) through (iii), Mimosa may accept the non-conforming Work conditioned on Supplier providing a refund or credit in an amount Mimosa reasonably determines to represent the diminished value of the non-conforming Work. Mimosa’s payment to Supplier for Work prior to Mimosa’s timely rejection of such Work as non-conforming will not be deemed as acceptance by Mimosa.

7.1 As used in this Section 7, “Change” means a change Mimosa directs or causes within the general scope of this Agreement, the applicable SOW or both.
7.2 Mimosa, by written order (“Change Order”), may make Changes in accordance with this Section 7.
7.3 If Supplier asserts that Mimosa has directed or caused a Change to the cost of or time for performance for which Mimosa has not issued a Change Order, Supplier will promptly notify Mimosa in writing of the Change, providing (i) a description of the action or inaction asserted to have caused the Change; (ii) an estimate of the equitable adjustment that would be required for Supplier to perform the Changed Work; and (iii) a date no less than thirty (30) days from the date of notice by which Mimosa must respond to Supplier’s notice so that Supplier may proceed with the Work unchanged. Mimosa will evaluate Supplier’s notice of Change in good faith, and if Mimosa agrees that it has made a constructive change, Mimosa will issue a Change Order to Supplier.
7.4 Supplier shall, as promptly as practicable, after giving the notice of the Change, or within ten (10) days of receiving a Change Order, submit a request for equitable adjustment specifying the adjustment in the price or time for performance resulting from the Change.
7.5 The parties shall negotiate an amendment to the applicable SOW to incorporate a Change Order providing for an equitable adjustment to the price, time for performance, or both.
