* The “Extended Price” in the “Instrument Description and Pricing” and “Service Description and Pricing” tables above represents the upfront purchase price, after applicable discounts, if any, that the Customer would pay for the Instrument(s) and Service if it were purchasing the Instrument(s) and Services.
II. Other Products.
A. Generally. The Customer agrees to purchase from GenMark those Products listed in the “Product Description and Pricing” table below (such Products being the Kits and such table being the “Pricing Table”), pursuant to the terns of this Agreement. The Customer understands that the pricing for the below Kits has been determined in consideration of the Customer’s volume commitments set forth herein and the length of this Agreement. Kits not listed below will be sold to the Customer at GenMark’s then-prevailing list prices unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
B. Standing Purchase Orders. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Customer is deemed to have submitted to GenMark (and GenMark is deemed to have accepted) firm non-cancellable Standing Purchase Orders dated on the first day of each month of the Term, for the purchase and delivery of Kits. Each Standing Purchase Order shall be in an amount equal to 1/12th of the Minimum Annual Test Volume Commitment set forth in the Pricing Table for each Product and represents Customer’s commitment and obligation to purchase the Kits in the quantities and mix specified therein. There will be four shipments per month, for each Standing Purchase Order. In addition to any Standing Purchase Order, Customer may submit purchase orders for the purchase of additional Kits, which purchase orders also shall be subject to GenMark’s acceptance in its discretion (either in writing or by email), and such other purchase orders (i.e., non-Standing Purchase Orders) shall specify the Kits to be purchased, the Kit quantities, the applicable Kit pricing (as determined pursuant to the below provisions of this Agreement), and reasonable shipping and delivery instructions. Any terms, conditions and/or provisions set forth in any Customer purchase order (whether a Standing Purchase Order or otherwise) that vary from or are in addition to those specified above for such purchase order shall be disregarded and deemed null and void. The pricing for the Kits ordered in any Customer purchase order shall be determined from the Pricing Table, provided that such pricing shall be subject to an annual adjustment as provided below in this Agreement.

C. Minimum Annual Commitment. For each Kit specified in the Product Description and Pricing Table, the Customer’s effective cost per Kit as of the Effective Date is listed in the Pricing Table in the “Extended Kit Price” (Kit + Instrument + Service) column of such table, and the Customer acknowledges that such cost incorporates a charge for the use of the Instrument(s) provided to the Customer hereunder. Such cost per Kit was determined based on the Minimum Annual Test Volume Commitment set forth in the Pricing Table, and the Customer hereby commits to purchase (and shall purchase from GenMark), each year of the Term, at least its Minimum Annual Test Volume Commitment of each such listed Kit. At its discretion, GenMark will review annually the monthly test volume trends for Products covered under this Agreement, and may offer Customer additional discounts in exchange for increased minimum annual test volumes.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following terms and conditions apply in addition to the other terms and conditions set forth above in this Agreement:
1. Payment Terms. All prices are firm unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Payment terms shall be net 30 days from date of invoice.

GenMark may also refuse to sell to Customer until overdue accounts are paid in full. Customer shall pay (or shall reimburse GenMark, as applicable) for all taxes, customs, duties and assessments (exclusive of taxes based on GenMark’ net income) owing with respect to this Agreement or any of the Products or services provided hereunder. If Customer claims an exemption from any such taxes, then Customer shall provide to GenMark appropriate evidence of such exemption and shall be responsible for any taxes GenMark does not withhold based on such exemption and any associated penalties. All amounts not paid by Customer when due are subject to a late payment charge of eighteen percent (18%) per annum simple interest (or, if less, the maximum rate allowed by applicable law) from the due date until the date of payment.
2. Delivery, Shipment and Title and Risk of Loss. Shipment of all Products shall be F.O.B. shipping point. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, all shipment, handling and insurance costs pertaining to the Products shall be paid by Customer and if prepaid by GenMark the amount thereof shall be reimbursed to GenMark. Title and risk of loss with respect to any particular Kit shall pass to Customer upon delivery of such Kit by GenMark (or its representative) to the carrier; title to all Instruments provided hereunder shall remain with GenMark and shall not pass to Customer at any time. GenMark will make every reasonable effort to ship the Products in accordance with the parties’ mutually agreed upon delivery dates. Customer agrees, however, that any delay in delivery shall not affect the validity of this Agreement.
3. Product Returns. Products may be returned to GenMark only due to nonconformity caused by GenMark. Customer shall notify GenMark of each such nonconformity within three (3) days after Customer’s knowledge of the same but in no event later than expiration of the applicable Product warranty period under Section 4(a) below. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, no Products may be returned without Customer obtaining, in each particular instance, a return material authorization number (“RMA”) from GenMark, which Customer may obtain by contacting GenMark’s customer service department at (000) 000-0000 (telephone), (000) 000-0000 (facsimile) or xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx. Customer shall return to GenMark each such nonconforming Product within seven (7) days after GenMark issues the corresponding RMA to the Customer, and Customer shall ensure that such returned Products is accompanied by a reasonably detailed written explanation of the nonconformity and by such RMA.
4. Limited Warranty and Remedy.
(a) Limited Warranty. Subject to the below provisions of this Section 4, GenMark warrants that each Product sold or otherwise provided to the Customer under this Agreement will perform in accordance with its Product specifications (as such specifications are set forth in, as applicable, the package insert or user manual originally included with such Product when delivered to the Customer) for: (i) if such Product is an Instrument, then one (1) year from the date of shipment; and (ii) if such Product is a Kit, then *** days from the date of shipment, provided that, with respect to any component of any such Product that has any shelf life date, expiration date, “use by” date, “guaranty date” or other end of recommended use date (each, an “Expiration Date”), or whose usage is limited to a specified number of uses, as stated on such Product or component or the packaging thereof or the documentation provided therewith, the warranty period for such Product or component shall be the lesser of *** days from the date of shipment or the period from date of shipment until such Expiration Date or such stated uses have occurred. As GenMark’s sole liability for, and the Customer’s sole remedy for, any failure of a Product to conform to the foregoing warranty, GenMark will, at GenMark’s option, repair or replace such Product that does not conform to this warranty or, in its discretion and with respect to any Product that is a Kit, take back the nonconforming Kit and refund to the Customer that portion of the purchase price paid by the Customer for such Kit, provided that in each case GenMark is notified by the Customer of the nonconforming Product as provided above in Section 3. Notwithstanding anything else, the warranty period on (A) any repaired or replacement Instrument or on any repaired part of an Instrument shall be the greater of *** days from the date of shipment or the remaining term of the original warranty period for the original Instrument, and (B) on any repaired or replacement Kit or on any repaired part of a Kit shall be the lesser of *** days from the date of shipment or the period from date of shipment until such Expiration Date or such stated uses have occurred.

(b) Exceptions to Warranty. The warranty provided above shall be void if the non-conformity or defect at issue results from or relates to any of the following (each of the following being an “Unsupported Cause”): (i) the Product fails, malfunctions or is damaged, or the non-conformity or defect arises, as a result of any improper, incorrect or unauthorized handling, storage, installation, shipping, use, maintenance, removal, modification, services or repair; (ii) the Product is accidentally damaged or is subjected to abuse or neglect (including, without limitation, any damage that arises from environmental or operational conditions, such as, but not limited to, electrostatic discharge, externally caused short circuits, incorrect voltages or other improper external inputs); (iii) the Product is modified or altered where the modification or alteration was not provided by or expressly authorized in writing by GenMark; (iv) the Product is damaged such that GenMark is unable to verify the nonconformity or defect in the normal course of Product testing; (v) in the case of an Instrument, the Instrument is moved or relocated by anyone other than a GenMark authorized service technician unless GenMark approves in writing such move or relocation prior to the occurrence thereof; or (vi) the Product is used in combination with any technology, hardware, software, product, material and/or other property (including, without limitation, any chemicals and reagents) not supplied by GenMark or expressly authorized in writing by GenMark or the applicable Product documentation (including, without limitation, label claims and product inserts). Any claims related to breach of the above Product warranty that are not made by the Customer within the applicable Product warranty period will be forfeited and void. The above Product warranty is provided to only the Customer who originally acquired the Product from GenMark and is not transferable or assignable to any other person or entity.
5. Product Support and Maintenance. If Customer desires any Product support or maintenance (including, without limitation, any service or repair of any Product) beyond GenMark’s warranty obligations set forth above in Section 4, then Customer shall either: (a) have subscribed to and paid for an applicable and then-available GenMark support and maintenance service plan (the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in a Support and Maintenance Addendum to this Agreement) covering the service or repair for the period in question; or (b) be responsible for the payment to GenMark for such support or maintenance on a time and materials basis at GenMark’s then-prevailing rates as set in GenMark’s discretion (as of the Effective Date, GenMark’s prevailing hourly rate for Product service or repair is $***). Without limiting the generality of the preceding provisions of this Xxxxxxx 0, XxxXxxx shall not be obligated to provide any on-site support or maintenance service to the Customer except to the extent expressly required under a support and maintenance service plan purchased by the Customer in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 5.
6. Warranty Disclaimers. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR PRODUCTS SET FORTH ABOVE IN SECTION 4, ALL PRODUCTS, SERVICES, DOCUMENTATION AND OTHER MATERIALS DELIVERED BY OR ON BEHALF OF GENMARK IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED “AS IS”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR PRODUCTS SET FORTH ABOVE IN SECTION 4, GENMARK MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF SUCH PRODUCTS, SERVICES, DOCUMENTATION AND OTHER MATERIALS, AND/OR ANY OF THEIR QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE, AND GENMARK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, GENMARK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION OF ANY PRODUCT OR PROVISION OF ANY SERVICE.
7. Infringement. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, GenMark shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against third party claims and lawsuits (“Claims”) and Customer incurred damages, costs and expenses resulting therefrom that are awarded or adjudged by a court or arbitration panel with competent jurisdiction or approved in writing by GenMark (“Losses”), in each case, to the extent they are based on allegations that Customer’s use of the Products, as expressly authorized herein only, infringes any third party U.S. patent. However, the foregoing obligations of GenMark set forth in this Section 7 do not apply: (a) if Customer admits to any related third party allegation without the express prior written consent of GenMark; or (b) to any Claim or Loss to the extent it results from or arises out of (in whole or in part) (i) any modification or alteration to any Product where the modification or alteration was not provided by or expressly authorized in writing by GenMark; (ii) use of the Product in a way not provided for or described in the applicable GenMark technical documentation; (iii) use of the Product in combination with any technology, hardware, software, material, content, processes, product and/or other property not supplied by GenMark or expressly authorized in writing by GenMark or (iv) Customer’s continued use of the Product at issue after GenMark has provided an IP Remedy (as that term is defined below). Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless GenMark from and against any and all Claims and Losses to the extent such Claims or Losses are excluded from GenMark’s indemnification obligations by the preceding sentence. If any Product is or is believed by GenMark to infringe or misappropriate any third party intellectual property rights, then GenMark, may, at its sole option and expense (each of the following, an “IP Remedy”): (A) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Product on substantially similar terms to those contained herein; (B) modify such Product so that it becomes non-infringing; (C) replace such Product with a non-infringing product; or (D) if none of (A), (B) and (C) are feasible as determined by GenMark, refund to Customer the unamortized portion of the purchase price paid by Customer for such Product (based upon a straight line depreciation over a one (1) year period beginning on the Effective Date), provided that, with respect to any Instrument, because GenMark is loaning and not selling such Instrument to Customer hereunder, Customer shall not be entitled to any refund of fees with respect to the Instrument. Customer’s rights to defense and/or indemnification hereunder are conditioned upon the following: prompt notice to GenMark of any Claim for which indemnity and/or defense is sought; control by GenMark of the investigation, preparation, defense and settlement thereof, and reasonable cooperation by Customer, at GenMark’s request and expense, in the defense of the Claim.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE, GENMARK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND/OR ANY OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR: (I) ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS, EVEN IF GENMARK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; (II) ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS, IN THE AGGREGATE, FOR ALL CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OF THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE PRODUCTS OR THE SERVICES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF ANY CLAIM HEREUNDER DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT, ACTION OR OMISSION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY FOR WHICH DAMAGES ARE RECOVERED; OR (III) THE COST OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY OF ANY KIND. ALL OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. THE PRECEDING LIMITATIONS DO NOT EXPAND IN ANY WAY THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 AND/OR ANY OF GENMARK’S OBLIGATIONS AND/OR CUSTOMER’S RIGHTS UNDER SUCH SECTION 4 (AND CUSTOMER REAFFIRMS THAT SUCH SECTION 4 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT CONFORM TO ITS WARRANTY IN SECTION 4).
9. Confidentiality. Each particular party (“Recipient”) may access and/or use Confidential Information of the other party (“Discloser”) solely for the purpose of performance of the Recipient’s obligations and/or receipt of benefits hereunder, and the Recipient shall maintain such information in the strictest confidence. Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to Recipient’s employees, attorneys, advisors, and contractors who have a legitimate “need to know” provided that Recipient ensures that all such entities and persons are obligated to and do comply with confidentiality obligations consistent with (and no less restrictive than) this Section 9 but in no event may the Customer disclose any GenMark Confidential Information to any competitor of GenMark (or any of its affiliates) or to any employees or contractors of any such competitor. Subject to clause (a) of the following sentence, the term “Confidential Information” means the provisions of this Agreement (which shall be the Confidential Information of both parties), and any and all information, written or oral, provided or made available by or on behalf of one party or its affiliates, contractors, or vendors to the other party or its affiliates, contractors, or vendors in connection with this Agreement or the parties’ relationship hereunder, whether or not designated as confidential. Information of a third party to whom a party owes a duty of confidentiality will be treated as Confidential Information of that party if it meets the description above.

developed by or on behalf of the Recipient without use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information; and (b) Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is necessary in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or necessary to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements, provided that the Recipient gives the Discloser prompt notice of the compelled disclosure and cooperates with the Discloser in seeking a protective order or any other protections available to limit the disclosure of the Discloser’s Confidential Information.
10. License. The Customer is hereby granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use the executable version of the GenMark software loaded on the Instruments as delivered to the Customer or that is otherwise provided to the Customer under this Agreement, but only (a) for the Customer’s operation of such Instruments, (b) in accordance with the applicable end user documentation, and (c) for the Customer’s own internal business purposes. The Customer shall not (and shall not authorize any third party to): (i) use any such software (or any Instrument) to provide, or to assist in or further the provision of, any data processing, outsourcing, time sharing, service bureau or similar service for the benefit of any third party; (ii) decompile, disassemble, translate or reverse engineer such software, or attempt to do any of the foregoing; or (iii) install or use such software on any computer hardware or other equipment other than an applicable Instrument provided by GenMark to the Customer.

12. Damage to Instruments; Return upon Expiration or Termination.

The Customer shall maintain each Instrument in good operating condition and repair and in proper working order, and, upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Customer shall return all Instruments to GenMark in their original condition, normal wear and tear excepted.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where applicable, GenMark shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under all applicable laws, including but not limited to the California Uniform Commercial Code.
