NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the

principal and agent, partners, joint venturers, or creating any other form of
legal association which would impose liability upon one Party for the act or
failure to act of the other, its agents or employees, except as expressly set

performed, all tests which Buyer determines are necessary to provide reasonable
assurance of the quality and safety of products that Buyer manufactures using

ordering and shipments. Seller may impose a late payment service charge at a
lawful rate on invoices not paid when due.

Application. DuPont reserves the right to audit or have a third party
verification of the Applications using Products for the purpose of ascertaining
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.07 Buyer agrees that Buyer will not use the Seller name or any Seller
trademarks in any way in association with Buyer’s products made from Product
except in a listing of ingredients unless otherwise agreed in writing in advance
by Seller. The Seller trademarks used on the Products are and shall be the
exclusive property of DuPont. Buyer shall not register, or use, any DuPont
trademark or trade name without prior written approval of DuPont. DuPont does

5.03 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Buyer any rights or
license to any Seller patent, patent rights, trademark, trade name,
certification mark or product except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

insurance company that may have an interest in the litigation.

5.06  The Parties’ legal obligations under this Agreement are to be determined

not the express basis of the bargain at the time this Agreement was made.

written, that are not merged herein and the Parties acknowledge they have not
executed or authorized the execution of this instrument in reliance upon any
agreement, understanding, condition, warranty or representation not contained
herein.  These terms and conditions supersede any of a previous date on this
topic, and no amendments, modifications thereof shall be binding on Seller or
Buyer unless separately contracted in writing and agreed to by a duly authorized
representative of the Parties, except as otherwise provided for herein.  No
amendments or modifications shall be effected by the acknowledgment or

Arbitration Provision will be given full force and effect. If such agreement
regarding the conduct of the arbitration is found to be illegal or unenforceable
and if the arbitrators permit a class arbitration or consolidated or joined
matter to proceed, this entire Arbitration Provision will be unenforceable, and
the dispute may be decided by a court. The obligations set forth in this
paragraph shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement
