Effective Date:   April 5, 2017

Lumen Bioscience, Inc. (“Lumen”) hereby retains the supplier (“Supplier”) set forth in the order form into which these terms and conditions are incorporated by reference (including attachments thereto, the “Order Form”) on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated (including terms and conditions that are incorporated herein by reference, the “Purchase Order Terms and Conditions,” and together with the Order Form, the “Purchase Order”) to supply the materials, supplies, items or equipment (the “Products”) and/or perform the services (the “Services”), as the case may be, described in the Order Form. Nothing in this Purchase Order shall be interpreted to prevent Lumen from obtaining from any other third party, or providing to itself, any or all such Products or Services or from ceasing to use Supplier to provide such Products or Services.

In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between any of the provisions of this Purchase Order and any of the provisions of a written agreement between Lumen and Supplier, signed by a authorized executive officer of Lumen (an “Agreement”) covering the subject matter of this Purchase Order, the provisions of the Agreement shall govern and supersede any such conflicting or inconsistent provisions of this Purchase Order. In the absence of an Agreement, this Purchase Order constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous written or oral representations, agreements and understandings between Lumen and Supplier and any different or additional terms and conditions. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between any of the provisions of the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions and any provisions of the Order Form covering the subject matter of this Purchase Order, the provisions of the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions shall govern and supersede any such conflicting or inconsistent provisions of the Order Form.

Supplier’s acceptance of this Purchase Order may be in writing, email, fax, EDI or other manifestation of acceptance such as, but not limited to, Supplier’s initiation of performance, or through Supplier’s provision of any Products or Services covered by this Purchase Order, or through Supplier’s acceptance of any payment made pursuant to this Purchase Order, whichever occurs first. Except to the extent expressly accepted in writing by Lumen, Lumen hereby affirmatively rejects any different or additional terms and conditions proposed by Supplier or contained in any acknowledgement, invoice or other form of Supplier, notwithstanding Lumen’s acceptance or payment for any Products or Services or any similar act of Lumen.​

1)    PRICE; INVOICING; PAYMENT

(a)   Price. The price for the Products shall, as applicable, cover the net weight of the Products, and no extra charge of any kind, including charges for boxing, packaging or crating, shall be allowed unless specifically agreed to in advance in writing by Lumen. The price for Services shall cover all activities required to perform the Services as contemplated in this Purchase Order.

​(b)    Taxes. The amount of taxes imposed will be separately stated on the Order Form and any related invoice and all amounts shown will include all federal, state and local sales, use, excise and similar taxes applicable to the Products or Services sold or provided under this Purchase Order or the materials used in connection therewith; and Supplier shall pay any and all such taxes, except taxes required by Law (as defined below) to be paid or borne by Lumen. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Lumen and Supplier shall bear sole responsibility for all taxes of any kind imposed by a federal, state, local or foreign governmental authority, directly on said party, including, but not limited to, those on, or measured by or referred to as income, gross receipts, financial operations, franchise, profits, license, excise, premium, windfall profits taxes, duties or similar fees, and assessments or charges of any kind whatsoever, together with any interest and any penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts imposed by such governmental authority with respect to that party’s income, operations, employment, property (whether owned, leased or deemed to be owned or leased) or business operations.​

(c)    Invoice; Payment; Billing Disputes. Unless otherwise specified by Lumen, Supplier shall invoice Lumen for the Products or Services provided under this Purchase Order only after the Products or the Services are received by Lumen. Final payment shall not be made until the Products or Services provided meet the requirements specified in this Purchase Order. Unless otherwise specified by Lumen on the applicable Order Form, payment terms shall be net 45 days after Lumen’s receipt of the applicable invoice submitted in accordance with, and containing any information specified on, the applicable Order Form. All invoices shall be paid with the next scheduled processing run immediately following the invoice due date. Lumen may set off any amount owing from Supplier to Lumen against any amount payable by Lumen. Lumen may withhold payment of any invoiced amounts that it disputes in good faith and the parties shall work in good faith to resolve any such billing disputes. Such withholding of payment during any dispute shall never be the basis of a Lumen default hereunder. Any such billing disputes shall not be cause for Supplier’s nonperformance of Services and/or non-delivery of Products, as the case may be, under this Purchase Order. Payment by Lumen shall not result in a waiver of its rights under this Purchase Order. Further, Supplier shall perform its obligations under this Purchase Order in a manner that meets or exceeds the service levels, if any, set forth in this Purchase Order. If Supplier fails to meet any such service levels, Supplier shall perform a root cause analysis of such failure and shall promptly take corrective actions. Additionally, in the event of any such failure, Lumen shall receive the service level credits, if any, set forth in this Purchase Order. Service level credits shall not be deemed Lumen’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by Supplier to achieve service levels. In order to be eligible for reimbursement by Lumen of reasonable of-pocket travel and travel-related expenses incurred by Supplier personnel in providing the Products and/or Services hereunder, all such expenses incurred by Supplier: (i) must have been pre-approved by Lumen in writing prior to the date such expenses are incurred; and (ii) must be in compliance with Lumen’s travel and entertainment guidelines, as supplemented and/or amended from time to time. Supplier will (i) submit truthful and complete documentation supporting, in reasonable detail, the delivery of the Products or the Services performed and any expenses incurred, (ii) maintain true, accurate, and complete invoices, reports, statements, books, and other records, and (iii) secure pre-authorization in writing from Lumen for any extraordinary expenditure.

(d)    Most Favored Customer Status. The parties intend that Lumen shall have the status of a "most-favored customer" with respect to matters of pricing, availability, and other terms. Supplier represents and warrants that the prices and other terms provided to Lumen under this Purchase Order are not less favorable than those extended to any of its other customers for similar Product and Services under reasonably similar circumstances and, in the event that Supplier provides any of its other customers with more favorable prices or other terms, Supplier shall immediately provide that more favorable price or other term to Lumen.​

2)    DELIVERY; CANCELLATION; INSPECTION; ACCEPTANCE

(a)    Product Delivery. Supplier shall be responsible for packaging, loading and shipping the Products in accordance with any packaging specifications, shipping methods and other related requirements set forth in this Purchase Order or otherwise communicated in writing to Supplier by Lumen. If no such specifications, methods or requirements are so specified, Supplier shall be responsible for packaging, loading and shipping the Products in a manner sufficient to prevent damage and loss to the Products during shipment. Shipments must equal quantity ordered, unless otherwise agreed to by Lumen in writing. Supplier shall provide a packing list to Lumen (which shall be securely attached to the outside of the package) for all shipments referencing this Purchase Order number. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, Supplier shall be responsible for freight and delivery to the destination specified on the applicable Order Form. All freight and delivery charges will be borne by Supplier, unless specifically agreed to in advance, in writing by Lumen. Provided Lumen agrees to accept such freight and delivery charges in advance, the amount allocated for product freight delivery will be separately stated on the Order Form and any related invoice, and all amounts shown will include all packaging, loading and shipping applicable to the Products or Services sold or provided under this Purchase Order or the materials used in connection therewith. Under no circumstances will Supplier include in such charges, or will Lumen bear, additional or charges related to the freight and delivery of covered Products and/or Services, including, but not limited to, fuel surcharges, energy surcharges, or seasonal surcharges, whether originated by Supplier or on behalf of any third party. Notwithstanding any provision in this Purchase Order to the contrary, Supplier shall bear all risks of loss and damage to the Products until final acceptance by Lumen at Lumen’s “ship to” destination specified on the applicable Order Form. Further, Supplier shall bear the same risks with respect to any Products rejected by Lumen or as to which Lumen has revoked its acceptance from the time of such rejection or revocation.​

(b)    Safety Data Sheets. Supplier shall provide to Lumen all information related to the safety, safe handling, environmental impact, and disposal of the Product including, without limitation, safety data sheets. Supplier shall promptly deliver to Lumen any updates or amendments to the information, including those made to address the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals’ requirements, provided pursuant to this Section and any new information relating to the safety, safe handling, environmental impact, or disposal of the Product.

(c)    Cancellation. The delivery of Products and/or Services shall strictly comply with the delivery date or delivery schedule, if any, specified by Lumen. If at any time it appears that Supplier will not meet such delivery date or schedule, Supplier shall promptly notify Lumen in writing of reasons for, and the estimated duration of, the delay. If requested by Lumen, Supplier shall ship delayed Products by means to avoid or minimize delay to the maximum extent possible, any added cost to be borne by Supplier. In addition to its other remedies, Lumen reserves the right to cancel all or any part of any Purchase Order for the undelivered Products or unperformed Services if Supplier does not deliver the Products or perform the Services as specified in this Purchase Order.

(d)    Changes. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Lumen may provide Supplier with a written request for changes to the Services and/or Products, as the case may be, from time to time. Lumen and Supplier shall review all such requests to determine the effect, if any, such requested changes may have upon fees payable, delivery schedule, and other terms and conditions of this Purchase Order. After such effects have been assessed, Lumen may decide, in its sole discretion, whether to implement such changes. If Lumen elects to implement such changes, the parties shall enter into a written agreement signed by both parties that describes such changes, which agreement shall constitute an amendment to this Purchase Order.​

(e)    Inspection; Acceptance of Products and Services. All Products or Services delivered or performed shall be subject to final review, inspection and acceptance by Lumen, notwithstanding any payment or initial inspections. Acceptance of Products and Services shall occur when the Products or Services delivered under this Purchase Order have been inspected by Lumen and determined to meet the requirements specified in this Purchase Order. Lumen shall make such inspection within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) after the applicable Products have been delivered or Services completed by Supplier. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no time restrictions applicable to Lumen’s provision of notice of rejection of any Product with respect to any latent defects, which shall include any defects that may not be detected by Lumen through standard inspection and testing of a Product sample or that may affect only a portion of Product. If the Products or Services do not meet such requirements, Lumen shall give Supplier detailed written notification of the deficiency or non-conformance and a direction to Supplier to promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days): (i) repair, replace or re-perform the deficient or non-conforming Products or Services; or (ii) cease all Supplier activities related to Products or Services; and/or (iii) refund to Lumen all fees paid by Lumen hereunder for the deficient or non-conforming Products or Services and those Products or Services that are dependent on such deficient or non-conforming Products or Services. Any such corrected Products or Services shall be subject to the same inspection and acceptance terms provided for in this Section. If Lumen directs Supplier to repair, replace or re-perform the deficient or non-conforming Products or Services and Supplier fails to complete same within 30 days after Lumen’s direction, then Supplier shall refund to Lumen all fees paid by Lumen hereunder for the deficient or non-conforming Products or Services and those Products or Services that are dependent on such deficient or non-conforming Products or Services. Inspection and acceptance of any Products or Services by Lumen shall not affect Supplier’s warranties or Lumen’s remedies the provisions below. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit or exclude any other rights or remedies of Lumen at law or in equity.​

3)    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION​

(a)    Supplier understands and acknowledges that, in the provision of Services or Products pursuant to this Purchase Order, Lumen may disclose to Supplier or Supplier may otherwise obtain information that Lumen (or any of its subsidiaries, affiliated companies, vendors or customers) considers confidential.

Supplier shall exercise the same degree of care for the Confidential Information of Lumen as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in any event, not less than reasonable care, including, without limitation, the requirements of this Purchase Order. Supplier shall not disclose Confidential Information without the prior express written consent of Lumen to any person or entity not a party to this Purchase Order (other than as required by applicable Law) in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and shall not be used by Supplier other than in connection with the purposes permitted by this Purchase Order.

(b)    Upon completion or termination of this Purchase Order, and at Lumen’s written request at any time, Supplier shall promptly return to Lumen or destroy (at Lumen’s election) all copies of all documents or other materials, in whatever form, that contain Confidential Information and are in the possession or under the control of Supplier or any Supplier Personnel and shall certify to Lumen in writing that Supplier has done so in accordance with applicable Laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Lumen’s ownership rights do not apply or extend to any of the following (collectively, the “Supplier Property”): (i) any methodologies, methods of analysis, ideas, concepts, know-how, models, tools, techniques, skills, knowledge and experience or other materials or property owned or licensed by Supplier before the provision of the Services under this Purchase Order; (ii) any improvements or other modifications to any of the foregoing that Supplier creates during the performance of the Services under this Purchase Order without the use of any of Lumen’s Confidential Information or Intellectual Property Rights; or (iii) any of the Intellectual Property Rights in or to any of the items described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii). All right, title, and interest in and to the Supplier Property is and shall remain in Supplier, and Supplier shall not be restricted in any way with respect to the Supplier Property. However, to the contrary, to the extent that any Supplier Property is incorporated into or embodied in any of the Works, or covers or controls any of the Works, or is necessary in order to fully and freely use any of the Works, Supplier hereby grants to Lumen and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to (A) use such Supplier Property solely as part of or in connection with such Works or any derivative work based upon such Works, and (B) to modify such Supplier Property, solely to the extent such modification is necessary in connection with the creation of a derivative work based upon such Works.​

10)    MISCELLANEOUS

(a)    Use of Lumen Trademark/Name; Publicity. Supplier shall not issue any press release or other publicity materials, or make any presentation with respect to the existence of this Purchase Order or the terms and conditions hereof without the prior written consent of Lumen in each instance. Supplier shall not publicize or use any name, trade name, service marks, trademarks, trade dress or logos of Lumen (or any of its affiliates) nor identify Lumen (or any of its affiliates) as a customer without Lumen’s prior written consent in each instance. This restriction shall not, however, apply to the extent that any such disclosures are required by applicable Laws, including as may be required in connection with any filings required to be made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by the disclosure policies of a major stock exchange.

(b)    Governing Law; Venue. The validity, interpretation and performance of this Purchase Order shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS (1980) IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED AND SHALL NOT APPLY TO THIS PURCHASE ORDER. All actions and proceedings under this Purchase Order shall be brought exclusively in a state or federal court of competent subject matter jurisdiction in King County in the State of Washington. Each Party hereby waives (i) any objection which it may have at any time to the venue of the proceedings in any such court, (ii) any claim that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii) the right to object, with respect to such proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party. IN ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PURCHASE ORDER, ITS NEGOTIATION, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY, OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER, ALL PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.​

(c)    Relationship of the Parties. Lumen engages Supplier only for the purposes and to the extent set forth in this Purchase Order and, accordingly, Supplier shall not be considered a partner, co-venturer, agent, employee, or representative of Lumen, but shall remain in all respects an independent contractor, including for purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act or state equivalent. Neither Lumen nor Supplier shall have any right or authority to make or undertake any promise, warranty or representation, to execute any contract, or otherwise to assume any obligation or responsibility in the name of or on behalf of the other party. Neither Lumen nor Supplier shall be deemed a joint employer of the other’s employees, each party being responsible for any and all claims by its employees. Neither Party’s employees shall be deemed “leased” employees of the other for any purpose.​

(d)    Assignment; Subcontracting. This Purchase Order or any right or obligation arising therefrom shall not be assigned or transferred by Supplier in the absence of Lumen’s prior written consent thereto and any purported assignment or transfer absent such consent shall be automatically deemed null and void. Supplier shall not delegate or subcontract any of its obligations or responsibilities under this Purchase Order to any third party (including to an affiliate of Supplier) without Lumen’s prior written permission. No delegation or subcontracting by Supplier hereunder shall relieve Supplier of any of its obligations or responsibilities under this Purchase Order and Supplier shall remain responsible for obligations, services and functions performed by its subcontractors to the same extent as if they were performed by Supplier.

(e)    Divestiture.​

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Purchase Order, to the extent related to or arising in connection with a divestiture (whether by sale, spin-off, or similar transaction) by Lumen of all or any portion of a Lumen business or business unit (a “Divestiture”), Lumen may, without prior written notice to or consent of Supplier, without any penalty, and at no additional cost to Lumen or to any affiliate of Lumen or to the company or the group of companies resulting from such Divestiture (collectively, such companies, the “Resulting Companies”): (1) assign its rights and obligations under this Purchase Order, in whole or in part to one or more of the Resulting Companies, or (2) split and assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Purchase Order to one or more of the Resulting Companies so as to retain the benefits of this Purchase Order for both Lumen and the applicable Resulting Compan(y)/(ies) following such Divestiture.

(ii)    From and after any partial assignment or split (i) the rights and obligations of Lumen hereunder shall be divided between Lumen and the Resulting Compan(y)/(ies) to whom such rights and obligations are transferred as specified by Lumen, such that all such rights and obligations related to the business of the applicable Resulting Compan(y)/(ies) shall be enforceable only by and against the applicable Resulting Compan(y)/(ies), and all other such rights and obligations shall be enforceable only by and against Lumen and (ii) to the extent this Purchase Order contains any volume-based pricing or discounts in favor of Lumen or minimum purchase thresholds, any purchases by Lumen and the applicable Resulting Compan(y)/(ies) hereunder shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the applicable pricing and discounts and whether any minimum threshold has been met. Supplier will work cooperatively with Lumen and the applicable Resulting Compan(y)/(ies) to ensure a smooth and orderly transition, including, to the extent requested by Lumen, entering into separate agreements with Lumen and the applicable Resulting Compan(y)/(ies) on substantially the same terms and conditions (as adjusted to take into account the nature of the separate contracts while maintaining the economic, business and other purposes of the Purchase Order).

(iii)    No term, condition or provision of this Purchase Order, whether express or implied, shall be construed to limit Lumen’s use of the Services for the benefit of Resulting Compan(y)/(ies) for up to two (2) years after a Divestiture, and Supplier shall not charge Lumen any additional fee of any kind whatsoever for such usage.

(f)    Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any failure to perform or any delays in performance, and no Party shall be deemed to be in breach or default of its obligations set forth in this Purchase Order, if, to the extent and for so long as, such failure or delay is due to any causes that are beyond its reasonable control and not to its acts or omissions, including, without limitation, such causes as acts of God, natural disasters, flood, severe storm, earthquake, civil disturbance, lockout, riot, order of any court or administrative body, embargo, acts of government, war (whether or not declared), acts of terrorism, or other similar causes (“Force Majeure Event”). For clarity, raw material price increases, unavailability of raw materials, and labor disputes shall not be deemed a Force Majeure Event.    In the event of a Force Majeure Event, the Party prevented from or delayed in performing shall promptly give notice to the other Party and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the delay. The Party affected by the other Party’s delay may elect to: (a) suspend performance and extend the time for performance for the duration of the Force Majeure Event, or (b) cancel all or any part of the unperformed part of this Purchase Order.

(g)    Severability. If and solely to the extent that any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Purchase Order to be unenforceable in a final non-appealable order, such unenforceable provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this Purchase Order shall not be affected thereby. In such event, the parties shall in good faith attempt to replace any unenforceable provision of this Purchase Order with a provision that is enforceable and that comes as close as possible to expressing the intention of the original provision.​

(h)    Waiver; Partial Invalidity. The failure of Lumen to insist in any instance upon strict performance by Supplier of any provision of this Purchase Order shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of such item, or waiver of any other provision of this Purchase Order or any corresponding Agreement. If any provision of this Purchase Order shall be held illegal or unenforceable by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over this Purchase Order, the validity of the remaining portions shall not be affected thereby.

(i)    Headings. Headings are included herein for convenience of reference only, and shall not constitute a part of this Purchase Order or change the meaning of this Purchase Order.
