Rescheduling.  Upon the acceptance of a purchase order by
WaferGen, such purchase order may not be cancelled by Distributor for any
reason.  WaferGen will make commercially reasonable efforts to
reschedule the delivery date of an accepted purchase order, if requested by
Distributor, provided that (a) the rescheduled delivery date is within thirty
(30) days after the original delivery date, and (b) WaferGen receives the
rescheduling request within fifteen (15) days after WaferGen’s original
acceptance of such purchase order.

       

      9.5 Initial
Purchase.  Effective as of the Effective Date, Distributor
hereby agrees to purchase, the initial purchase of Products (including
demonstration units) identified on Exhibit A and will
submit a purchase order for such initial purchase within three (3) business days
after the Effective Date.

       

      10. Price;
Taxes; Payments; Records; Reports

       

      10.1 Distributor
Prices.  The Distributor Prices of the respective Products
ordered by Distributor from WaferGen shall be set forth in WaferGen’s
distributor price list in effect at the time WaferGen accepts the applicable
purchase order for the Products.  The Distributor Prices in effect as
of the Effective Date are set forth in Exhibit A, provided
that WaferGen reserves the right to change the Distributor Prices at any time
with or without notice to Distributor.  Distributor is free to
establish prices for the sale of Products to End Users.  The
difference between the price Distributor charges End Users for Products and the
Distributor Prices Distributor pays WaferGen for Products shall be Distributor’s
sole compensation under this Agreement.

       

      10.2 Shipping Costs;
Taxes.  The total amount payable for the Products shall include
the Distributor Prices, plus the appropriate amount for shipping, insurance and
other costs described in Section ‎9.3
(collectively, “Shipping
Costs”).  In addition to the Distributor Prices and Shipping
Costs due to WaferGen under this Agreement, Distributor shall pay, indemnify and
hold WaferGen harmless from any sales, use, excise, import or export, value
added or similar tax, not based on WaferGen’s net income (collectively the
“Taxes”) and any
penalties or interest associated with any of the Taxes, imposed by any
governmental authority with respect to either or both of any payment to be made
by Distributor to WaferGen under this Agreement or any Products to be delivered
by WaferGen under this Agreement.

       

      10.3 Payments for
Products.  Payment for the Products ordered from WaferGen and
Shipping Costs shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the date
of WaferGen’s invoice therefor.  Payment will be made only in United
States Dollars, by wire transfer to the bank designated by WaferGen or other
means satisfactory to WaferGen.  Payments made by Distributor, even if
marked to indicate payment in full, will be deposited by WaferGen or otherwise
accepted by its bank notwithstanding such markings and such deposit and/or
acceptance shall not indicate WaferGen’s acceptance of the payment as payment in
full unless the remittance actually constitutes payment of all sums
owed.  All sums not paid when due shall accrue interest daily at the
lesser of a monthly rate of 1.5% or the highest rate permissible by law on the
unpaid balance until paid in full.

       

      10.4 Credit.  In the
event that Distributor fails to pay any amounts due and such failure extends
beyond forty-five (45) days after the applicable invoice date or is otherwise
more than fifteen (15) calendar days late, WaferGen may, at any time thereafter
and in its sole discretion and without any liability to Distributor, suspend
production, shipments, deliveries, and/or performance of Support Services, and
demand such other terms or conditions or

      security
arrangements for Distributor’s due performance, as WaferGen, in its sole
discretion, deems appropriate, including without limitation requiring full or
partial payment be made upon acceptance of a purchase order or prior to shipment
of the Products.  If, within the period stated in such demand, but in
no event longer than thirty (30) days, Distributor fails to pay in full all
amounts due WaferGen or otherwise fails to give adequate assurance of due
performance, WaferGen may (1) by notice to Distributor, treat such failure as a
repudiation by Distributor of this Agreement, whereupon WaferGen may in its sole
discretion cancel all outstanding purchase orders, refuse to accept any
additional purchase orders, and any amounts unpaid hereunder shall immediately
become due and payable, or (2) make shipments of Products under reservation of a
security interest and demand payment against tender of documents transferring
title.  Distributor shall be responsible for all collection costs
(including reasonably attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) associated
WaferGen’s collection of amounts not paid when due under this
Agreement.  Distributor hereby represents to WaferGen that Distributor
is now solvent and agrees that each purchase order submitted by Distributor
under this Agreement shall constitute reaffirmation of this representation at
such time.

       

      10.5 Records and
Audit.  Distributor agrees to maintain complete, clear and
accurate records for at least two (2) years backwards at any point in time of
its activities under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its
inventory, sales of each Product and the identity and address of each End User,
in accordance with standard business practices.  Upon three (3) days
prior written notice to Distributor, Distributor shall permit WaferGen or
persons designated by WaferGen to inspect records pertaining to the Products and
any other materials provided to Distributor by WaferGen to ensure compliance by
Distributor with this Agreement.  Any such inspection and audit shall
be conducted during regular business hours and in such a manner as not to
interfere unduly with normal business activities of Distributor.

       

      10.6 Reports.  Distributor
shall provide WaferGen a monthly report of its inventory and sales of
Products.  Inventory shall be reported by Product as of the end of
each month.  Sales shall be reported in terms of the volume of each
Product distributed, and each End User name, serial number of the Products
purchased by such End User, and location of the Products.  Distributor
shall promptly provide such additional information as WaferGen may request,
including, without limitation, information regarding market conditions and
Distributor’s marketing plans and progress, marketing staff and financial
condition.  Distributor shall promptly communicate to WaferGen any
problems with or changes or improvements to the Products suggested by any
customer or any employee of Distributor.

       

      11. Acceptance;
Warranty

       

      11.1 Acceptance.  Distributor
shall have a period of fourteen (14) days after receipt of the Products (“Acceptance Period”) to inspect
the Products for substantial nonconformity with the applicable Specifications
(“Nonconformities”).  During
the Acceptance Period, Distributor may reject Products with Nonconformities, in
which case Distributor shall provide WaferGen before the end of the Acceptance
Period with a written notice of rejection that:  (a) specifies in
reasonable detail the Nonconformities that are the basis for the rejection, and
(b) is accompanied by test suites and test results, if applicable, evidencing
(and allowing WaferGen to replicate) such Nonconformities.  Any
Products not specifically rejected by Distributor during the Acceptance Period
shall be deemed finally accepted by Distributor.  For all Products
which have Nonconformities, Distributor must obtain from WaferGen a return
material authorization (“RMA”) number prior returning
such Products.  Distributor will return rejected Products to WaferGen
in their original packing, with the RMA number marked on the packaging, and
subject to WaferGen’s shipping and insurance instructions.  If
WaferGen’s examination of the returned Products confirms the existence of
Nonconformities, WaferGen shall be obligated to, at its sole option, (i) repair
the Products, (ii) replace such Products with conforming Products, or (iii)
credit Distributor the purchase price paid for such Products.

       

      11.2 Warranty to End Users
Only.  WaferGen makes warranties to only End Users regarding
the Products pursuant to the warranty terms and conditions set forth in the
Documentation, and no warranty is extended directly to
Distributor.  The warranty provided by WaferGen to End Users is that
the Products will be free of defects in material and workmanship and shall
otherwise not have any material Nonconformities for a period of one (1) year
after the delivery date thereof to Distributor (“Warranty Period”) and that the
End User’s sole and exclusive remedy arising out of or relating to such warranty
shall be to return the defective Products to Distributor (and not to WaferGen
directly) for repair or replacement in accordance with WaferGen’s warranty terms
and conditions.

      11.3 Distributor Warranty
Service.  Upon the return by an End User to Distributor of a
defective Product which qualifies under the warranty provisions of the
applicable End User License Agreement and which is returned during the Warranty
Period, Distributor shall first make best efforts to repair the Product and if
Distributor is not able to do so, then Distributor will first obtain a RMA
number from WaferGen and then return such defective Product to WaferGen for
warranty service.  Distributor must return the defective Product,
marked with the RMA number, to WaferGen within thirty (30) days after
Distributor’s receipt of the defective Product from the End
User.  Shipping cartons that are not marked with RMA numbers shall be
rejected by WaferGen.  The transportation charges for all Products
returned to WaferGen under warranty shall be borne by
Distributor.  WaferGen’s obligations under this Section shall not
apply if WaferGen’s testing and examination discloses that any alleged material
Nonconformities or defects in the Products do not exist or were caused by
Distributor’s or the End User’s misuse, neglect, modification, improper
installation or testing, unauthorized attempts to repair, by an accident or by
other reason not caused by WaferGen. WaferGen shall pay the transportation
charges involved in the return of warranted Products to
Distributor.  Hardware returned to WaferGen may be repaired or
replaced by WaferGen on a unit-for-unit basis.

       

      11.4 Disclaimer.  EXCEPT
AS SET FORTH HEREIN, WAFERGEN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED
OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT, AND ALL
WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE
OF TRADE.  WAFERGEN NEITHER ASSUMES, NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON
TO ASSUME FOR IT, ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCTS,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE DELIVERY OR USE OF
THE PRODUCTS.

       

      12. Consequential
Damages Waiver

       

      IN NO
EVENT SHALL WAFERGEN BE LIABLE TO DISTRIBUTOR, ANY END USER OR ANY OTHER THIRD
PARTY UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE,
BUSINESS, SAVINGS, DATA OR USE INCURRED BY DISTRIBUTOR OR ANY THIRD PARTY, EVEN
IF WAFERGEN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

       

      13. Limitation
of Liability

       

      NOTWITHSTANDING
ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, WAFERGEN’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO DISTRIBUTOR OR ANY THIRD PARTY
FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER FOR BREACH, NEGLIGENCE,
INFRINGEMENT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE
TOTAL PAYMENTS ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY WAFERGEN UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE
(12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING EITHER PARTY’S INITIAL NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTY OF
ANY CLAIM OR POTENTIAL CLAIM HEREUNDER.  FURTHERMORE, WAFERGEN SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR DELAYS IN MANUFACTURE,
ASSEMBLY, SHIPMENT OR FURNISHING OF THE PRODUCTS OR ANY SERVICES.

       

      14. Indemnification

       

      14.1 Distributor
Indemnity.  Distributor shall defend, indemnify and hold
WaferGen harmless against any and all damages, costs, liabilities, expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and settlement amounts incurred in
connection with any suit, claim or action by any third party against WaferGen as
a result of:  (a) negligence, misrepresentation, error or
omission on the part of Distributor or its representatives relating to or
concerning the Products; and (b) Distributor’s breach of this
Agreement.

       

      14.2 WaferGen
Indemnity.  WaferGen shall defend, indemnify and hold
Distributor harmless against any and all damages, costs, liabilities, expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and settlement amounts incurred in
connection with any suit, claim or action by any third party alleging that the
Products furnished and used within the scope of this Agreement infringe any
trade secret, copyright, United States patent issued as of the Effective Date or
United States trademark.  The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not
extend to any claims of infringement arising out of or related
to:  (a) modification of the Products by anyone other than
WaferGen; (b) combination of the

      products
with any third party software or hardware where such combination is the cause of
such infringement; or (c) use of a version of Products other than the
then-current version if infringement would have been avoided by the use of the
then-current version.  Upon notice of an alleged infringement, or if
in WaferGen’s opinion such a claim is likely, WaferGen shall have the right, at
its sole option and expense, to:  (i) obtain for Distributor the
continuing right to distribute the Products; (ii) modify the Products or
substitute other non-infringing hardware or software with similar operating
capabilities; or (iii) if WaferGen determines that neither (i)
nor (ii) described above are reasonable, WaferGen may refund the fees paid
by Distributor for the infringing copies of the Products upon Distributor’s
return of such Products to WaferGen.  THIS SECTION ‎14.2 SETS FORTH
WAFERGEN’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY AND DISTRIBUTOR’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDIES FOR INFRINGEMENT BY THE PRODUCTS OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS OF ANY KIND.

       

      14.3 Indemnity
Procedures.  Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other
party hereunder is subject to such other party:  (a) giving the
party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt
written notice of any such claim; (b) giving the Indemnifying Party sole
control over the defense and settlement of any such claim; (c) providing
full cooperation for the defense of any such claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense; and (d) not entering into any settlement or compromise of any such
claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written approval.

       

      15. Term
and Termination

       

      15.1 Term.  The term of
this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue for one (1)
year thereafter.  Subsequently, this Agreement shall automatically
renew for successive one (1) year renewal terms, unless, at least thirty (30)
days prior to the beginning of any renewal term, either party gives the other
party written notice of its intent not to renew this Agreement.

       

      15.2 Termination.

       

      (a) Either
party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice of a
material breach of this Agreement by the other party, if such breach (including,
without limitation, a failure to pay WaferGen any amount due under this
Agreement or a failure to provide End Users adequate support for the Products)
is not cured within such thirty (30) day period.

       

      (b) Notwithstanding
the above, WaferGen may terminate this Agreement immediately, upon written
notice, for Distributor’s breach of Sections ‎2.3, ‎4, ‎7 or ‎8.

       

      (c) Either
party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other
party becomes insolvent or fails to pay its obligations as they arise, files for
bankruptcy, or if a proceeding by or against the other party under any law
providing relief to the other party as debtor is commenced and is not dismissed
within sixty (60) days after commencement.

       

      15.3 Effect of
Termination.  Upon any termination or expiration of this
Agreement:

       

      (a) The
rights and licenses granted in Section ‎2 shall
immediately cease.  Distributor shall immediately cease using the
Trademarks and discontinue all representations that it is a distributor of the
Products.  WaferGen shall be entitled to:  (i) reject
all or part of any purchase orders received from Distributor after notice but
prior to the effective date of termination; and/or (ii) require
Distributor’s performance of any outstanding orders notwithstanding the fact
that delivery dates for such orders may extend beyond the effective date of
termination.  Notwithstanding any credit terms made available to
Distributor prior to that time, any Products shipped during said period shall be
paid for in full by certified or cashier’s check prior to shipment.

       

      (b) Distributor
shall submit to WaferGen within ten (10) days after the effective date of
termination or expiration an inventory summary of the number of the respective
Products owned by Distributor as of the effective date of termination or
expiration.  WaferGen may, at its option, repurchase any or all of
such Products from Distributor upon written notice of its intention to do so
within a reasonable period after receiving the inventory summary, at prices to
be agreed upon between the parties, but in no event greater than the respective
prices paid by Distributor for such Products.  After WaferGen’s
receipt of such Products from Distributor, WaferGen shall issue an appropriate
credit to Distributor’s account and refund any amount greater than the
outstanding balance due WaferGen.

       

      (c) The
payment date of all monies due WaferGen shall automatically be accelerated so
that they shall become due and payable on the effective date of termination,
even if longer terms had been provided previously.

      (d) If
WaferGen chooses not to exercise its rights to repurchase Distributor’s
inventory, Distributor shall have sixty (60) days from the effective date of
termination to distribute its inventory.  Following such period,
Distributor shall return to WaferGen or destroy, as directed by WaferGen, all
Products remaining in Distributor’s inventory and shall promptly certify the
same in writing to WaferGen.  Within ten (10) days after the effective
date of termination, Distributor shall return or destroy all copies of the
Confidential Information.  At the request of WaferGen, the president
or the equivalent officer of Distributor shall certify in writing that
Distributor has complied with its obligations hereunder.

       

      (e) Termination
of this Agreement by either party shall not act as a waiver of any breach of
this Agreement and shall not act as a release of either party from any liability
for breach of such party’s obligations under this Agreement.  Neither
party shall be liable to the other for damages of any kind solely as a result of
terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms.  Either
party’s termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any other
right or remedy that it may have at law or in equity, and shall not relieve
either party of breaches occurring prior to the effective date of such
termination.  Neither WaferGen nor Distributor shall be liable to the
other, because of such expiration or termination, for compensation,
reimbursement or damages:  (i) for the loss of prospective
profits, anticipated sales or goodwill; (ii) on account of any
expenditures, investments or commitments made by either party; or (iii) for
any other reason whatsoever based upon the result of such expiration or
termination.

       

      (f) Sections ‎4 , ‎7, ‎8, ‎10.2, ‎10.3, ‎10.5, ‎11.4, ‎12, ‎13, ‎14, ‎15.3 and ‎16 shall

Parties.  This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an
agency, partnership, joint venture or any other form of association, for tax
purposes or otherwise, between the parties, and the parties shall at all times
be and remain independent contractors.  Except as expressly agreed by
the parties in writing, neither party shall have any right or authority, express
or implied, to assume or create any obligation of any kind, or to make any
representation or warranty, on behalf of the other party or to bind the other
party in any respect whatsoever.

       

      16.2 Import/Export.  Distributor
shall comply with all applicable foreign and domestic laws and regulations

licensed hereunder to any country for which any governmental authority requires
a license or other government approval at the time of such import or export,
without first obtaining the required license or approval.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Distributor shall not, and shall
require its representatives not to, export, direct or transfer any Products, or
any direct product thereof, to any destination, person or entity restricted or
prohibited by the Export Laws.  Any and all obligations of WaferGen to

any of the foregoing is contained, or training or related technical data to
Distributor or an End User shall be subject in all respects to the Export
Laws.

       

      16.3 Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and
Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without reference
to its conflicts of law provisions.  Any dispute regarding this
Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, U.S.A., and the
parties hereby irrevocably agree to submit to the personal and exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of such courts.  This Agreement shall not be
governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly
excluded.

       

      16.4 Force
Majeure.  Neither party shall be liable under this Agreement
because of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations (except
for payment of money) on account of strikes, shortages, riots, fire, flood,
storm, earthquake, acts of God, hostilities or any other cause beyond its
reasonable control.

       

      16.5 Notices.  Any
notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted hereunder

address or person as may be designated by a party by giving written notice to
the other party pursuant to this Section).

       

      16.6 Assignment.  Distributor
shall not assign, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or
any right or obligation hereunder (whether by express transfer, operation of law
or otherwise) without the prior written consent of WaferGen.  WaferGen
shall be entitled to assign, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement
and any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.  Any
attempted or purported assignment or other transfer not complying with the
foregoing shall be null and void.  Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind the successors and assigns of
the parties.

       

      16.7 Injunctive
Relief.  Distributor acknowledges that the breach of any
provision of Sections ‎2.3, ‎4, ‎7 or ‎8 shall
cause irreparable injury to WaferGen, and agrees that WaferGen shall have the
right to seek and obtain (notwithstanding the provisions in Section ‎16.3) from any
court of competent jurisdiction temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive
relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond, to
prevent any such breach.  In the event WaferGen is required to file a
lawsuit or court action against Distributor to prevent such breach, Distributor
agrees to pay WaferGen’s reasonable attorney fees, expenses and court
costs.

       

      16.8 Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together

thereof, to operate substantially in accordance with the Documentation is caused
directly or indirectly by misuse of the Products, or is directly caused by
modification or alteration of the Products by any party other than WaferGen, or
from any cause other than a defect in the Software, WaferGen’s services in
making such determination and in remedying any problem shall be deemed to be
consulting services and shall be billed to Distributor in accordance with
WaferGen’s then-current time-and-material fees.
