Supplier will not modify or change any Specifications without Purchaser's prior written approval. Any change that may affect product performance, especially the change of place of origin, ingredients or processing, will be implemented only upon prior written approval from Purchaser. Any attached Specifications are hereby made a part of this PO. Supplier will furnish Purchaser prior to commencing the performance of the PO with copies of the manufacturer's handbook, patterns, designs, drawings, documents, installation instructions, servicing and maintenance brochures for approval. Supplier will be responsible for all errors or omissions in any drawings, calculations, or particulars supplied by it whether or not Purchaser approved such information. The Goods and the Services will be supplied on the basis that Supplier holds itself out to be expert in every aspect of the performance of the PO and has full notice of the purpose for which Purchaser requires them. Supplier warrants to Purchaser that any Goods supplied to Purchaser hereunder: (i) are merchantable, of good quality, free from defects (patent or latent) and, in case of edibles, are wholesome and fit for human or animal consumption (as applicable); (ii) were grown or manufactured in a facility or under conditions which are free of any contamination, microbiological or otherwise, and with due care and using the necessary hygiene and quality control measures; and (iii) have been processed or produced in accordance with the applicable Laws (including the Laws of the place of final destination of the Goods) and are not adulterated, misbranded or mislabelled, nor do such Goods contain any ingredient, colour additive, chemical or element which has not been disclosed as an ingredient of such Goods to Purchaser and which has not been duly approved or certified for inclusion within such Goods by all appropriate authorities having jurisdiction or authority over such Goods. Supplier agrees to use reasonable efforts to seek independent certification that Supplier's food safety and quality management system complies with food safety Laws. Supplier will provide Purchaser with a copy of such certification, or any denial of such certification, issued by the independent certification entity or body promptly upon receipt by Supplier. Supplier also warrants that: (i) it will be fit, qualified and competent to perform its obligations under this PO; (ii) has absolute and good title to the Goods supplied, and at the time of delivery will be free of all liens, security interests or encumbrances of any kind against the Goods; (iii) will comply with all applicable Laws of any jurisdiction from or in which the Goods or Services are provided or received, including Laws about export control, import, customs and economic sanctions, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, patents, trademarks, copyrights, tax, food safety, labour and labour safety, environment, consumer rights, labelling, electrical standards; (iv) will comply with all voluntary industry standards, codes or other obligations, e.g.: applicable health and safety standards for manufacturing operations, and (v) the supply of the Goods and performance of the Services will not give rise to any breach by any person of any Laws or third party rights. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy which Purchaser may have, under this PO, the Master Agreement (if existing) or the applicable Laws, if any Good or Service fails to meet any warranty contained in this PO (even after acceptance, payment or use of the Goods or Services by Purchaser), or the Supplier fails to comply with any of the terms or warranties under this PO, Purchaser may, at its option, exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) cancel this PO, in whole or in part; (ii) ask Supplier to repair the non-conformity, faults or defects, at Supplier's expense; (iii) seek a reduction of the purchase price; (iv) reject the Goods or Services as provided in Article 12; (v) refuse to accept any further deliveries of the Goods or performance of the Services; (vi) carry out at Supplier's expense any work necessary to make the Goods or the Services compliant with the PO, and (vii) claim any and all related damages.

12. Inspection and Rejection. Notwithstanding any prior payment, all Goods and Services are subject to inspection and testing after arrival at the ultimate destination, delivery or performance, as the case may be, and in the case of the Goods, if they are to be incorporated into an operating facility, the inspection and testing of the Goods may be made under operating conditions after the Goods have been installed. If specific acceptance testing procedures or acceptance criteria are specified or referenced on the face of this PO, then Supplier and Purchaser (or either of them, as applicable), will carry out the activities related to the acceptance procedures. If during such testing period, the Goods are not performing in accordance with the acceptance criteria, Supplier will, at no expense to Purchaser, and with prior agreement of the Purchaser make necessary and appropriate corrections, adjustments or modifications to the Goods in order to bring them into compliance. If upon inspection or testing, the Goods or Services or any portions thereof are found to be non-conforming, unsatisfactory, defective, of inferior quality or workmanship, or fail to meet any guarantees or warranties or the applicable Specifications or fail to meet any other requirements of Purchaser or of this PO, then without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, Purchaser may reject the Goods or the Services (in whole or in part) and return them to Supplier at the risk and cost of Supplier on the basis that a full refund for the Goods or Services so returned will be paid forthwith by Supplier. Also, Purchaser may exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) cancel this PO, in whole or in part; (ii) seek a reduction of the purchase price if the rejection is partial; (iii) refuse to accept any further deliveries of the Goods or performance of the Services; (iv) carry out at Supplier's expense any work necessary to make the Goods or the Services compliant with the PO, and (v) claim any and all related damages. Neither the inspection, nor failure to make inspection, nor acceptance or payment for Goods or Services will release Supplier from any of the warranties or other provisions of this PO nor impair Purchaser's right to reject non-conforming Goods or Services or make claims in connection with the non-conforming Goods or Services. Any Goods (which, for purposes of this provision, will include any work in process), rejected by Purchaser, in Supplier's possession or control, and determined by Purchaser not to be re-conditionable or salvageable will be disposed of by Supplier at Supplier's cost and expense in a manner which will absolutely preclude re-use for human or, unless Purchaser otherwise consents, animal consumption. If Purchaser determines that any such Goods (or work in process) are re-conditionable or salvageable, Supplier will remove all Purchaser identification and dispose of the same as mutually agreed in writing between Purchaser and Supplier. Supplier will immediately withdraw rejected Goods from Purchaser's premises, unless Supplier specifically requests for temporary storage, which will be at the expense and risk of Supplier. Purchaser reserves the right to charge storage fees for rejected Goods not collected within 1 week from notification of rejection. Any of the activities related to reception, inspection, testing, acceptance or rejection mentioned above may be performed by an Affiliate of Purchaser, or by any third party designated by Purchaser, and will be considered and have the same effect as if performed by Purchaser.

13. Traceability of ingredients and Goods. Supplier will at all times be able to provide details and data regarding the exact origin of the ingredients used to produce the Goods and the movement of the Goods, in order to, in the event of quality issues, respectively, ensure traceability of ingredients used and guarantee an efficient recall action of Goods.

14. Product recall. In the event that Supplier becomes aware of the existence of any non-conformity or defect relating to any Goods which have left the control of Supplier and Supplier reasonably believes that such defect or non-conformity either creates or is likely to give rise to a risk to the health or safety of consumers, possibility of action by enforcement authorities, or a risk of adverse publicity or public dispute for Purchaser or its Affiliates, the following provisions will apply: (i) Supplier will immediately, upon becoming aware of the problem, notify Purchaser. Any such notification will include, as a minimum: a) the identity and quantity of the Goods involved, b) any relevant coding information (if existing), c) any other relevant information, which may be of assistance in tracing the Goods (or the products containing the Goods); (ii) representatives of Supplier and Purchaser will meet as soon as practicable for the purpose of agreeing the measures to be taken by Supplier in order to remedy issues arising from such defects or non-conformity; (iii) Purchaser will be entitled to demand the cessation of the production of the Goods forthwith, to require the withdrawal of the Goods and to require the destruction of the Goods. Not only for the reasons described above, in the event that Purchaser at its own discretion initiates a recall, withdrawal or destruction of Goods (or products containing the Goods), or a recall is ordered or recommended by governmental authorities having jurisdiction, Supplier will fully cooperate and share all information with Purchaser. All recall related expenses (e.g. cost of transporting, storing, managing and destroying the recalled product), as well as all the damages incurred by Purchaser, its Affiliates or affected third parties, will be borne and compensated by Supplier to the extent the cause of the measure, problem or recall is due to any breach by Supplier of its obligations or warranties hereunder or any negligent or unlawful act of Supplier, its employees, agents, contractors or representatives.

15. Purchaser's materials. Any material owned by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates which Purchaser may deliver to Supplier or which may come to Supplier's possession in relation to this PO will remain at all times the exclusive property of Purchaser.

Supplier will: (i) exclusively use the materials to perform its obligations under this PO; (ii) return them to Purchaser upon request or upon completion or termination of this PO; (iii) hold them in safe custody and identified as Purchaser's property, at Supplier's own risk and not transfer or otherwise disclose them to any third party; (iv) maintain the materials in good condition until returned to Purchaser, (v) not dispose of them or use them other than in accordance with Purchaser's written instructions, and (vi) not reverse engineer, decompile, fractionate, replicate, reprocess or partition them or cause them to be reverse engineered, decompiled, fractionated, replicated, reprocessed or partitioned.

Any Purchaser's IPR shared with Supplier in connection with this PO will be used by Supplier only on Goods or Services provided under this PO. In order to ensure preservation of Purchaser's IPR, Supplier undertakes not to sell or otherwise distribute Goods or deliverables bought under this PO that use any Purchaser's IPR to anyone other than Purchaser or its Affiliates without Purchaser's prior written approval. No provision of this PO will be interpreted as granting any explicit or implicit license, title or other right over Purchaser's IPR to the benefit of the Supplier, unless established in this PO or otherwise expressly agreed in writing. Supplier agrees that all IPR developed in the performance of this PO or at the request of Purchaser, related to Purchaser's products, formulation, packaging, technology, processes, Specifications or other Purchaser's IPR or Confidential Information, including any improvements or modifications thereof ("Developed IPR") will be the exclusive property of Purchaser or its respective Affiliates (such rights to include, without limitation, the right to register protection for that Developed IPR). To the extent the Developed IPR does not vest automatically in Purchaser, Supplier hereby irrevocably assigns to Purchaser (or its respective Affiliates) all right, title and interest in and to all such Developed IPR, and will execute, and will cause its employees to execute, all documents which may be necessary to give effect to this provision. Supplier agrees to provide to Purchaser in writing full and complete information and documents related to the Developed IPR, in the format and language specified by Purchaser.

If any Supplier's IPR , including any software, source code or object code, are necessary for the utilization of the Goods or the Services by Purchaser or its Affiliates, Supplier hereby grants Purchaser and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid up, irrevocable and perpetual license to use such rights to the extent necessary to fully exploit or use the Goods or the Services. Supplier represents that it has fully investigated all Specifications and, based upon such investigation and its past experience and superior knowledge with respect to the Goods or the Services, Supplier has determined that the production thereofin accordance with such Specifications or the use or exploitation thereof will not infringe any IPR of any third party. Supplier will indemnify and hold Purchaser and its stockholders, Affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees (the "Purchaser Indemnitees") harmless from any and all claims, demands, costs and liabilities, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses, arising out of any infringement or claim of infringement of third party IPR. If Purchaser at its own discretion so requires, Supplier will assume, at Supplier's cost, the defence of Purchaser and Purchaser Indemnitees. In no event will Purchaser or its Affiliates be liable to Supplier for any IPR infringement or claim thereof; and, in the event Purchaser or its Affiliates is or are enjoined from the operation, use or sale of the Goods or the Services pertaining thereto or to any part thereof covered by this PO, Supplier will, at its sole expense, take all responsible steps possible to procure for Purchaser and its Affiliates the right to operate, use and sell the Goods or the Services referred above.

In the case where it would not be possible, Purchaser may terminate the PO, without prejudice to the rights previously acquired and to the damages and interests to which Purchaser and Purchaser Indemnitees could be entitled to. Supplier will ensure that rejected, waste and scrap materials that bear any Purchaser's IPR (including packaging) will be destroyed and disposed of according to Purchaser's instructions, in a manner which will absolutely preclude re-use. Supplier will not sell packaging materials bearing the Purchaser's IPR to third parties or use them for any purpose other than the performance of its obligations under this PO. Unauthorized sales or use of said packaging material is expressly forbidden.

Purchaser will have no liability or obligation whatsoever to Supplier by reason of or resulting from such termination; but, at Purchaser's sole discretion, Purchaser may pay Supplier its actual direct out-of-pocket costs of performance hereunder to the date of such termination, as approved by Purchaser, in which event, the finished Goods, completed Services or any work-in-process as of the date of termination will become the property of Purchaser and Supplier will safely hold the same for a reasonable period of time subject to receipt of Purchaser's written shipping or other disposition instructions.
