Purchase Terms and Conditions Form LBI-100

Revised March 2008 

  1. ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS. In the event that any purchase order of the Company does not state a price or delivery date, the Company will not be bound to any price or delivery date to which it has not specifically agreed in writing.

  2. DELIVERY. Time is of the essence of this order. Seller's failure to make deliveries in accordance with the Company's schedules will be proper cause, at the Company's option, for cancellation of any order. Without limitation of the foregoing, Seller shall notify the Company promptly of any delays or threatened delays in the performance of any order. The Company may from time to time change delivery schedules or direct temporary suspension of scheduled shipments. Title to material and equipment covered by an order shall pass the Company at the F.O.B. point specified therein, but passing of title upon such delivery shall not constitute acceptance by the Company.

  3. TAXES. The prices set forth in an order include all applicable Federal, State and Local taxes. All such taxes shall be stated separately on Seller's invoice.

    1. LaBarge Oklahoma Facility only. Sales tax will be determined at order placement by indicating Y or N on face of purchase order in the applicable block. LaBarge's limited exemption certificate number is printed on face of purchase order. Sales tax exemption is claimed by marking N in the applicable block, and as required by state law, LaBarge certifies that the company is engaged in manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, or preparing for sale a finished article. Items purchased as exempt are consumed in the process or become an integral part of products prepared for sale. Above statements become legally binding by signature of purchaser on face of purchase order or a person authorized to legally bind the purchaser.

  4. PACKING AND SHIPMENT. Unless otherwise specified, price is to cover new weight of equipment and material ordered and no charges will be allowed for boxing, crating, carting or storage. Equipment and material shall be suitably packed to secure lowest transportation cost and in accordance with the requirements of common carriers. The Company's order numbers must be plainly marked on all invoices, packages, bills of lading and shipping orders. Packing lists shall accompany each shipment, showing the Company's order number, description of equipment and material and item number. Without the Company's prior written consent, deliveries shall not be made in whole or in part prior to the date or dates shown on an order, nor shall they exceed the quantities specified in delivery schedules. The Company will pay only for maximum quantities ordered. Overshipments will be held at Seller's risk and expense for a reasonable time waiting shipping instructions. Return shipping charges for excess quantities will be at Seller's expense.

  5. INSPECTION. All equipment, parts, materials and workmanship to be furnished under any order shall be subject to inspection and test by representatives of the Company, and if the order is issued under a United States Government ("Government") prime contract or sub-contract, representatives of the Government, at all reasonable times and places during the manufacture or testing thereof, and, in any event prior to final acceptance. If such inspection is made on Seller's premises, Seller shall provide to such representatives, without charge, reasonable facilities and assistance. Such inspection and test shall not relieve Seller from responsibility regarding defect or other failures to meet requirements and shall not be deemed an acceptance by the Company.

  6. WARRANTY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

    1. Seller warrants that all goods and services ordered by the Company will conform strictly and in all respects with the specifications, drawings, samples or other descriptions furnished or specified by the Company, and will be new, merchantable, and free from any defects latent or otherwise in material and workmanship, and shall be fit and sufficient for Buyer's purpose. Seller agrees that the foregoing warranty shall survive acceptance and payment. Seller agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company from all loss, liability, damages or expense, whatsoever, including attorney's fees, that the Company may incur as a result of any breach of the warranties contained in this paragraph. In the event that any claim is made against the Company, by a customer of the Company or otherwise, which alleges any defect in any material, equipment or services purchased by the Company from the Seller, then, at the Company's election, immediately upon notice from the Company, the Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall assume the negotiation, settlement and/or defense on any such claim; and the Seller agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company from all loss, liability, damage or expense, whatsoever, including attorney's fees, that the Company may incur as a result of the Seller's failure to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, at its option, the Company shall have the right to negotiate and conclude a settlement with a customer based on any such alleged claim, and in such event, the Seller shall be bound by any such settlement and, upon demand, shall promptly pay to the Company, or to the Company's customer, the amount agreed to by the Company and its customer in such settlement.

    2. If the order is issued under a Government prime contract or subcontract and if Seller is to furnish technical data under such order, the provisions of the Warranty of Technical Data clause contained in such prime contract or subcontract shall apply to such data and to the Seller in such manner as will enable the Company to met its obligation to its customer without additional expense to the Company.

  7. PAYMENT. All remittances are received and negotiated conditionally, subject to final acceptance by the Company. No invoice will be accepted for payment unless it bears the Purchase Order Number and contains the following certification: "The Seller herein represents that the goods and/or services covered hereby were produced in compliance with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 as amended." Invoices for tools will not be honored until production pieces are approved by the Company's Inspection Department.

  8. CHANGES. The Company may at any time, by a written order, make changes within the general scope of an order, in any one or more of the following: applicable drawings, designs or specifications, method of shipment or packing, and place of delivery. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for performance of an order, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the order price or delivery schedule, or both. Any claim by the Seller for adjustment hereunder must be asserted within 20 days from the date of the receipt by the Seller of the notification of change. Nothing in this clause shall excuse the Seller from proceeding with the order as changed or modified.

  9. TERMINATION, REPAIRS, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER. The Company may terminate all or any part of an order, without liability to the Company, by notice of default, if in the Company's reasonable judgment, Seller fails to perform its obligations thereunder, or fails to make progress so as to endanger performance under an order, or breaches any term or warranty of these Conditions. In the event of Seller's default or potential inability to perform an order, Seller agrees upon demand by the Company to deliver to the Company raw materials and work in process, and tools, equipment, supplies and facilities, required in order to perform thereunder, and the Company may then complete the work for the account of and at the cost of Seller, or in the alternative pay to Seller or credit to Seller's account the actual, direct cost of such raw materials and work in process. The Company shall have the right to make repairs and modifications in and to material and equipment purchased from Seller at Seller's sole cost and expense, if, in the Company's reasonable judgment, such repairs and/or modifications are necessary, and in making such repairs and/or modifications, the Company may use either its own labor and/or material or may purchase labor and/or material from third parties; provided, however that before undertaking any such repairs and/or modification, the Company shall first give Seller notice of the Company's intention and afford Seller the opportunity to make such repairs and/or modifications itself. In the event of any dispute under any purchase order, unless and until the Company has exercised its termination rights set forth above, Seller shall proceed diligently with the performance thereof. In no event shall the Company be liable to Seller for liquidated special, incidental or consequential damages or any penalties. Seller's sole remedy against the Company shall be a legal action for monetary damages, pursuant to the disputes clause herein. Seller waives all rights under any applicable federal or local law to any liens for any equipment material or labor furnished by it. The Company shall not be liable for any interest, finance charge, delinquency charge, service charge or similar charge unless the Company specifically agrees thereto in writing.

  10. INSOLVENCY. The Company may without liability terminate any order in the event Seller becomes insolvent, ceases to do business as a going concern, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a voluntary or involuntary petition for bankruptcy is filed by or against Seller, or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for Seller.

  11. WORK DONE ON THE PREMISES OF THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMER, OR THE GOVERNMENT. The Seller shall take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to prevent personal injury (including death) or property damage during any work under an order that may be performed by any employees or agents or subcontractors of the Seller on the premises of the Company, the Company's customer, or the Government. The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company's customers, and the Government from and against all loss, liability, damage or expense, including attorney's fee, arising from or caused by any act or omission of such agents, employees, or subcontractors of the Seller. Seller shall maintain such insurance as will protect the Company, the Company's customers and the Government against the aforementioned risks and also Workmen's Compensation and liability insurance (with minimum liability limits of $500,000/$1,000,000 if not otherwise specified in writing by the Company, otherwise at such amounts as so specified.)

  15. COMPANY APPROVALS AND REVIEWS. The review or approval by the Company of any work under an order or of any design, drawings, specifications or other documents prepared thereunder shall not relieve Seller of any of its obligations under an order nor excuse or constitute a waiver of any defects or nonconformities in any equipment, material or services furnished under an order of change, modify or otherwise affect any provisions of an order, including, but not limited to, prices and delivery schedules contained herein.

  16. REMEDIES. The right and remedies provided the Company herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or equity. Waiver of a breach of any provision hereof shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach.

      (i)If a decision on any question of fact arising under the prime contract be made by the Contracting Officer and such question of fact is also connected with or related to a purchase order of the Company's, said decision, if binding upon the Company under the prime contract, shall in turn be binding upon the Company and Seller with respect to such question under such purchase order, provided, however, that if Seller disagrees with any such decision, made by the Contracting Officer, and if the Company elects not to appeal such decision, Seller shall have the right reserved to the Company under the prime contract with the Government to prosecute an appeal within thirty (30) days after the Company's receipt of such decision, in the name of the Company; to the Secretary of the Department which issued the prime contract, or his duly authorized representatives. If the Company elects not to appeal any such decision, the Company agrees to notify Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of such decision and to assist Seller in its prosecution of any such appeal in every reasonable manner.

      (vi)If a purchase order is issued by the Company under a subcontract rather than a prime contract of the Company with the Government, and if the Company has the right under such subcontract to appeal a decision on a question of fact made by the Contracting Officer under the prime contract in the name of the prime contractor, and said decision is also connected with or related to a purchase order, this Disputes Clause shall also apply to Seller in a manner consistent with intent and similar to its application had said purchase order been issued by the Company under a prime contract with the Government.

      (vii)Any dispute not disposed of in accordance with the subparagraphs of this subparagraph shall be determined pursuant to paragraph 22, "Disputes", provided, however, that paragraph 23, "Controlling Law", shall be modified to specify the application of Federal common law.
