additive or human use. Unless otherwise indicated, all products are distributed

ingestion by humans or for commercial horticulture use, for pesticide use, for
application to or ingestion by animals or for veterinary drug use. All products
sold by Affymetrix to Buyer shall be used by qualified professionals only. The
burden for safe use and handling of all products sold by Affymetrix to Buyer is
entirely the responsibility of Buyer and anyone who purchases the goods from
Buyer and uses them. Absence of hazardous warnings does not imply non-toxicity.

 

10. Products Marketed for Research Use Only.

 

(a)Products marketed by Affymetrix for research use only do not have the
approval or clearance of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA”) or other
regulatory approval, clearance or registration for in vitro diagnostic (“IVD")
use. No license is conveyed or implied for Buyer to use, and Buyer agrees not to
use, such Products in any manner requiring FDA or other regulatory approval,
clearance or registration relating to IVD use.

individual, maintaining all necessary labeling, and providing all necessary

Affymetrix-supplied probe array or reagent (e.g., wherein the service provider

all rights to the results and discoveries derived therefrom are transferred to
the customer).

sublicensable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual license to
all Product Improvements. Buyer need not disclose any Product Improvements to

(“Target Sequences”) for which Buyer desires Affymetrix to design and
manufacture custom probe arrays or custom protein assay or custom nucleic acid
assay pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, upon Buyer’s written request,
Affymetrix agrees to use reasonable efforts not to disclose or use such
confidential information disclosed to it by Buyer for any purpose other than

parties designated by Buyer, otherwise performing its obligations to Buyer (and

any information which (a) is known or used by Affymetrix prior to Buyer’s
disclosure to Affymetrix; (b) is disclosed to Affymetrix by a third party under
no obligation of confidentiality to Buyer; (c) is or becomes published or
generally known to the public through no fault of Affymetrix; or (d) is

shall be permitted to disclose such information in order to comply with
applicable laws, a court order, or governmental regulations, provided that
Affymetrix has provided Buyer with prior notice of such disclosure, to the
extent reasonably practicable. Afflymetrix’ obligations under this Section shall
terminate three (3) years following the date of disclosure.

 

 

 

 

15. Target Sequence Responsibility. Buyer shall be fully responsible for the
Target Sequences, including the obtaining of all required consents, and Buyer
agrees to indemnify Affymetrix and its employees, officers, directors,
representatives, contractors, suppliers and any affiliate of the foregoing (the

liabilities, demands, damages, costs and expenses, including without limitation
reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising from or relating to the Target
Sequences or their use. Buyer agrees to fully cooperate with the Affymetrix

LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY BUYER TO AFFYMETRIX IN THE PRIOR
TWELVE (12) MONTHS. BUYER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE RISKS OF LOSS HEREUNDER ARE
REFLECTED IN THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS AND THAT THESE TERMS WOULD HAVE BEEN
DIFFERENT IF THERE HAD BEEN A DIFFERENT ALLOCATION OF RISK.

may be subject to export controls under the U.S. Export Administration
Regulations and related U.S. laws. Buyer will (a) comply strictly with all legal
requirements established under these controls, (b) cooperate fully with
Affymetrix in any official or unofficial audit or inspection that relates to

directly or indirectly, any Product or related technical documents or materials
or any direct product thereof to any country (or to any national or resident
thereof) which the U.S. Government determines from time to time is a country (or
end-user) to which such export, re-export, diversion, transfer or disclosure is
restricted, without obtaining the prior written authorization of Affymetrix and
the applicable U.S. Government agency.
