EVO's acceptance of Buyer's purchase order or commencement of performance shall not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer's terms and conditions. TERMS ADDITIONAL TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TERMS CONTAINED IN BUYER'S PURCHASE ORDER OR BUYER'S STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE, ARE DEEMED MATERIAL AND HEREBY REJECTED UNLESS OTHERWISE ACCEPTED BY EVO IN WRITING.

II. BUYER'S ASSENT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Buyer's assent to these terms and conditions shall be conclusively presumed from Buyer's (1) receipt of EVO's order acknowledgment without written objection sent to EVO within 48 hours after receipt of the order acknowledgement, (2) instructing EVO to begin work or ship any of the Products or Service Items after receipt of EVO's order acknowledgement, (3) acceptance of or payment for all or any part of the Products or Services, or (4) taking any other action evidencing Buyer's acceptance of the benefits of the agreement between the parties.

Buyer may not cancel order after 48 hours without approval from EVO. BUYER AND EVO AGREE THAT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE ACCEPTED IN GOOD FAITH BY BOTH PARTIES AS THE CONTROLLING AND FINAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

III. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

Except as otherwise agreed to by EVO in writing, the terms and conditions set forth herein, together with EVO's quotation, order acknowledgement, or a separate written and signed agreement, as applicable, shall constitute the complete and final agreement between EVO and Buyer (hereinafter, this "Agreement"), superseding completely any prior oral or written communications.

IV. MODIFICATION.

No modification of this Agreement or waiver of any of its terms will be binding on EVO unless clearly expressed in writing and signed by an authorized representative of EVO. This paragraph excludes, among other things, purported modifications and waivers by oral agreement, course of performance, and usage of trade. EVO and Buyer expressly agree that EVO may modify these terms and conditions from time to time, and such modifications shall be binding upon Buyer.

V. DELIVERY.

Delivery dates are approximate. The failure to meet an indicated delivery date will not constitute a breach of this Agreement. In no event shall EVO be liable for any claims for labor or for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including, but not limited to, demurrage charges, cost of shipment, downtime, lost profits (whether direct or indirect), lost sales, or any other damages resulting from delay in delivery. If EVO's delivery is delayed, EVO may allocate product delivery among its customers in a manner it deems reasonable. EVO reserves the right to change or re-designate any product source listed in this Agreement. ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICE ITEMS BY BUYER UPON DELIVERY SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER BY BUYER OF ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF DELAY IN DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE.

VI. SHIPMENT AND RISK OF LOSS.

All deliveries are Ex Works (Incoterms 2020) EVO's facility freight prepaid, or freight collect to destination. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, EVO may, in its sole discretion, select the shipping method, the carrier and the applicable freight charges. If Buyer desires to pick up the Products or Service Items at EVO's facility, Buyer must contact EVO to arrange a mutually convenient time for pick up. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless EVO from and against any claims, damages or liabilities suffered by EVO resulting from any acts or omissions of carrier. Title to the Products and risk of loss to the Products and Service Items shall pass to the Buyer at the point of shipment from EVO's facility, whether freight prepaid or freight collect to destination, regardless of which party selects the carrier and arranges the freight charges or particulars of shipment. Risk of loss for damage or delay in transit shall be borne by Buyer. Buyer shall file and pursue any claims directly with the carrier related to loss, damage or delay in transit, and Buyer shall not assert such claims against EVO or deduct from amounts owing to EVO.

VII. RELEASE OF GOODS FOR SHIPMENT.

Buyer must release the Products or Service Items for shipment within ten (10) days after EVO notifies Buyer that those items are ready for shipment. After such 20-day period, Buyer will pay a holding charge determined in good faith by EVO and/or EVO may ship the Products or Service Items to Buyer without further notification. Buyer agrees to accept delivery of all shipped Products or Service Items and to pay the applicable price. EVO has the right to sell or scrap any Products without notice to Buyer if Buyer has not released the Products for shipment within thirty (30) days after EVO notifies Buyer that the Products are ready for shipment, and Buyer shall be responsible for any difference between the agreed purchase price and the sale price or the scrap allowance. With respect to any order of a single item of a truckload or less, Buyer must release the entire order for shipment at one time or pay the additional LTL charges required by EVO.

VIII. DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS BY BUYER.

"Delay/Cancellation Costs" include all labor, materials, overhead, general, and administrative costs, restocking charges, surcharges levied on material by outside suppliers, sub-vendor cancellation charges, excess inventory charges, value of storage space, inventory tax charges, banking and finance charges, scrapping and disposal fees, and other harm, costs and charges incurred directly or indirectly by EVO in connection with a delay or cancellation of an order for the Products or Services. The "Firm Order Period" is determined according to, as applicable, the quotation, order acknowledgement or separate written and signed agreement. If there is no quotation, order acknowledgement or separate written and signed agreement, or if none of those items specifies the Firm Order Period, the Firm Order Period will be determined according to EVO's then current cancellation and orderbook management policy. If a Firm Order Period cannot be determined in any of the preceding methods, the entire order will be considered to be within the Firm Order Period. Buyer is not entitled, without EVO's prior written consent, which may be withheld or conditioned in EVO's sole discretion, to cancel or delay a delivery of the Products or Services for all or any part of an order within the Firm Order Period. EVO may treat as a cancellation any proposed delay greater than 60 days. If EVO consents to the cancellation or delay, Buyer shall pay a cancellation or delay charge in an amount determined in EVO's sole discretion to reflect all applicable Delay/Cancellation Costs, including, at a minimum, a storage charge, inventory carrying costs, financing costs associated with the finished Products or Service Items, work in process and raw materials, and costs of inactive labor, from the original request date until the time of delivery or performance. In the case of cancellation, the charge may also include, at EVO's sole discretion, a reasonable and equitable profit for EVO.

IX. SPECIFICATIONS.

The material specifications, quality requirements, or any other aspect of the Products and the Service Items or their manufacturer (the "Product Specifications") is controlled by EVO's quotation, order acknowledgement, or separate written and signed agreement. If any of the Product Specifications in EVO's quotation, order acknowledgement, or separate written and signed agreement differ materially from the Product Specifications requested by Buyer, EVO may, in its sole discretion, require that Buyer provide a written acknowledgment and acceptance of the Product Specifications in EVO's quotation, order acknowledgement, or separate written and signed agreement prior to the manufacture or delivery of the Products or Service Items. Buyer is not entitled, without EVO's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in EVO's sole discretion, to make any changes to Product Specifications in EVO's quotation, order acknowledgement, or separate written and signed agreement. If EVO consents to the change, EVO may condition its consent on Buyer's agreement to price adjustments and other compensating payments satisfactory to EVO. In addition to all other remedies available to it under applicable law, EVO may refuse to comply with any change to which EVO has not given its prior written consent.

X. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.

If Buyer is purchasing the Products or Services for a government contract or sub-contract, Buyer shall promptly notify EVO of that fact and of any contractual terms from the government procurement laws and regulations that Buyer is obligated to include in its contracts for such Products or Services. No government procurement provisions will be included in this Agreement unless agreed to in a writing signed by an authorized representative of EVO.

XI. PURCHASE PRICE.

The purchase price of the Products or Services shall be as stated in EVO's quotation, order acknowledgement, or separate written agreement signed by an authorized representative of EVO, as applicable. Unless agreed by EVO in writing, the purchase price does not include shipment costs. If the Products or Service Items are shipped freight prepaid, the charge for freight shall be added to the invoice. Prices are based on and assume Buyer's compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including a promise by Buyer to purchase a particular mix of goods, a certain quantity of goods, or a certain percentage of Buyer's requirements for the goods. EVO may adjust prices, in its sole discretion, if the circumstances do not coincide with the forgoing assumptions. In addition, EVO may at any time adjust prices based on changes to energy costs, raw material costs, labor costs and exchange rates.

XIII. SHIPPING WEIGHT.

All weights offered, shown or calculated with respect to the Products or Service Items, other than actual shipping weights, are approximate estimated weights only. If sale terms are on a weight basis, EVO's actual shipping weights are to govern the performance of this Agreement. If such an approximate weight is offered, shown or calculated, Buyer shall nevertheless accept EVO's shipping weights as the basis of full and complete delivery, and make payment therefor. Permissible over/under shipment is based on order as follows:

less than 10,000 lbs.: 5%
10,000 lbs. to 19,999 lbs.: 4%
20,000 lbs. to 39,999 lbs.: 3%

Prices do not include any taxes or other assessments. All taxes, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental authority which EVO is required to collect or pay with respect to the provision, production, sale or shipment of the Products or Services shall be the responsibility of Buyer. Buyer agrees to pay all such taxes and further agrees to reimburse EVO for any such payments made by EVO. Buyer hereby affirms that it is purchasing the Products referenced herein for resale, and/or that Buyer is not the end user of the Products, so as to be exempt from any otherwise applicable sales tax.

XV. SETOFF.

EVO shall have the right to credit toward the payment of any monies that may become due to Buyer hereunder any amounts which may now or hereafter be owed to EVO or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Buyer shall pay EVO's invoices without discount, setoff, or reduction for any reason, including asserted warranty claims or other claims of non-performance by EVO.

XVI. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION.

Checks or payments, whether full or partial, received from or for the account of Buyer, regardless of writings, legends or notations upon such checks or payments, or regardless of other writings, statements, or documents, shall be applied by EVO against the amount owing by Buyer with full reservation of all EVO's rights and without an accord and satisfaction of Buyer's liability.

XVII. LIMITED WARRANTY.

AT EVO'S DISCRETION, BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE CONFORMANCE OF ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICE ITEMS FURNISHED BY EVO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO EITHER: (1) REPLACEMENT OF SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICE ITEMS AT THE POINT OF SHIPMENT FROM EVO'S FACILITY, OR (2) REPAYMENT OF OR CREDIT AGAINST THE PURCHASE PRICE OF SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICE ITEMS UPON AUTHORIZED RETURN THEREOF. In the event EVO has authorized Buyer to scrap all or any portion of the Products or Service Items, the scrap allowance is to be credited to EVO.

No claim for damages for non-conforming Products or Service Items will be allowed unless Buyer provides EVO with written notice of the claim within thirty (30) days of the date the Products or Service Items were delivered to Buyer. To assert such a claim, Buyer must (a) at EVO's request, return to EVO 100% or, if agreed by EVO, a lesser but still statistically relevant percentage of the Products or Service Items claimed to be non-conforming, and (b) provide reasonable evidence to support the claim, including, if requested by EVO, results of diagnostic tests, evaluations and investigations performed by Buyer or Buyer's customer. Products or Service Items for which damages are claimed shall not be returned, repaired, or discarded without EVO's prior written consent. If requested by EVO, the non-conforming Products or Service Items must be returned to EVO at Buyer's expense within ten (10) days of EVO's request. No claims, rejections or returns for non-conforming Products or Service Items will be permitted unless Buyer cooperates in full with EVO's technical personnel to determine the cause of the non-conformance.

EVO MUST BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVESTIGATE THE CLAIM BEFORE BUYER DISPOSES OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICE ITEMS.

The validity, legality, and enforceability of all other remaining provisions or parts of provisions will remain in full force and effect.

XXXVIII. INTERNATIONAL TRADE.

EVO makes no representation with respect to the country of origin, qualification for duty preference or similar program, specific Harmonized Tariff Schedule Number, export jurisdiction, U.S. Munitions List category, Export Control Classification Number, or export authority of any good. EVO retains all its duty drawback rights, and any attempt by Buyer to transfer any such rights will be void. Buyer shall not, itself or by any freight forwarder, customs broker, or other agent or third party under Buyer's direction or control, designate EVO as the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (as defined in the U.S. Foreign Trade Regulations, 15 CFR Part 30) or file the Electronic Export Information with U.S. Bureau of Census ("EEI"), unless otherwise agreed in writing by an authorized representative of EVO. If Buyer files an EEI without the prior written consent required by the preceding sentence, then: (i) the EEI will be considered to have been made without EVO's authority or permission, and any false statements to the government will be considered to have been made by Buyer or its agent, as applicable, (ii) any affected transaction will be considered to be a routed export transaction, such that Buyer or its agent will be considered the U.S. Principal Party in Interest and exporter of record (as defined by the Foreign Trade Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations) for those transactions, (iii) Buyer shall assume all of the responsibilities of the exporter of record for any such transactions; and (iv) EVO will have no responsibility as the exporter of record. Buyer represents that it is not, and to the best of Buyer's knowledge, its customers, its customers' end-users and its agents are not, subject to any U.S. or other government sanction or restriction that would prohibit the sale or export by EVO of the Products or Services. Upon EVO's request, Buyer shall provide all end-user and end-use information of which it is aware or which it could obtain with commercially reasonable efforts. Buyer shall comply strictly with all applicable U.S. export laws and regulations, and Buyer shall assist EVO in complying and documenting compliance with any applicable U.S. export laws, regulations, and executive orders. Regardless of any statements on Buyer's purchase order or other documents to the contrary, EVO shall not be the importer of record (as that term is defined by U.S. law at 19 USC 1484, or equivalent provision of non-U.S. law) with respect to a transaction governed by this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in writing by an authorized representative of EVO.

XXXIX. TRACEABILITY.

If the Agreement obligates EVO to provide traceability on Products or Service Items, EVO's obligation with respect to the Products or Service Items returned to EVO (a) is limited by the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by Buyer with respect to the returned Products or Service Items, and (b) will terminate if the return was not authorized in advance by EVO.
