9. Information; Recalls. Seller shall provide Bio-Botanica with the following information in the form requested by Bio-Botanica: (i) a list of all ingredients and materials in Goods; (ii) the amount of all ingredients; and (iii) information concerning any changes in or additions to the ingredients. Before and at the time Goods are shipped, Seller shall give Bio-Botanica sufficient warning in writing (including appropriate labels on all Goods, containers, and packing, including disposal and recycling instructions, material safety data sheets, certificates of analysis and certificates of compliance) of any hazardous or restricted material that is an ingredient or part of the Goods, together with any special handling instructions that are needed to advise carriers, Bio-Botanica, and their employees how to take appropriate measures while handling, packing, transporting, processing, using or disposing of the Goods. Whenever Seller becomes aware that any ingredient or component of a Good supplied hereunder is or may become harmful to persons or property, or that the Good may be defective in any manner which is or may become harmful to persons or property, or that a good is misbranded or mislabeled, Seller shall immediately give notice thereof to Bio-Botanica, and Seller shall provide all relevant information with respect thereto. If it is deemed necessary by either Bio-Botanica, Bio-Botanica’s customer(s) of the Goods or End Products thereof and/or or Seller to recall (or recover) any quantity of the Goods or End Products thereof from any distributor, customer or consumer, either as a result of failure of the Goods to satisfy the specifications, comply with any representations and warranties, or for any other reason bearing on quality or safety of the Goods including as part of any End Product, Seller agrees: (i) to take such steps as Bio-Botanica and/or its customer(s) deem(s) necessary to protect the interests of the public, Bio-Botanica’s customer(s) and Bio-Botanica, (ii) to comply diligently with all product recall (or recovery) procedures established by the FDA or other governmental authority and (iii) cooperate with Bio- Botanica, Bio-Botanica’s customer(s) and/or any governmental authority investigation, regardless of whether the necessity of a recall can be conclusively attributed to a problem with the Goods. Should Seller’s, Bio-Botanica’s and/or its customer’s or customers’ actions or any governmental action require the recall, destruction or withholding from use or market of any Good or End Product thereof (a “Recall”), then Seller shall bear the costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable inspection, testing, removal from the market, product loss, cessation in manufacturing, cleaning, shipping and other expenses and losses resulting such Recall if such Recall is primarily the result of any fault or omission attributable to Seller, including, without limitation, supplying Goods that are outside of specifications, violate any representation or warranty or that contain latent defects. If the Parties are equally at fault for such Recall, or should it prove impossible to assign fault to either Party, the Parties shall share such costs and expenses equally.

10. Delivery Date. Seller shall deliver the Goods and/or Services in the quantities, per the specifications, of the quality, on the dates, and to the places specified in the Purchase Order being properly packed, sealed, loaded, and secured, and TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE. Seller may deliver up to five (5) days before the delivery date identified on the Purchase Order but not before unless agreed in writing by Bio-Botanica. If delivery is to be FOB Shipping Point, then Seller shall notify Bio-Botanica and have the Goods available for shipment on a date prior to the delivery date stated within the Purchase Order sufficient to allow for the Goods to be loaded, transported by ordinary, non-expedited means and to arrive at the destination(s) identified in the Purchase Order on or before the stated delivery date. If no delivery date is specified in the Purchase Order, delivery shall be made promptly. If, in order to comply with Bio-Botanica’s delivery date, the Goods must be shipped via a more expensive or expedited method or means than originally specified or would be typical, then any resulting incremental increase in shipping costs shall be paid by Seller unless the need for such more expensive or expedited method was directly caused by Bio-Botanica. If Bio-Botanica issues an updated delivery date at any time after the Purchase Order is issued, any updated delivery date later in time than the original delivery date shall govern, any updated delivery date earlier in time than the original delivery date by five (5) days or less shall govern, and any updated delivery date earlier in time than the original delivery date by more than five (5) days shall govern in the absence of Seller’s written objection within two (2) business days of receiving the update.

11. Shipping. Unless otherwise stated on the Purchase Order, goods are sold on an FOB Shipping Point basis, Seller shall ship the Goods freight collect with the carrier designated by Bio-Botanica. At least five (5) days prior to the date on which the Goods will be ready for pick-up, Seller shall contact Bio-Botanica’s transportation coordinator listed on the Purchase Order to arrange for transportation. If Seller ships using its carrier instead of Bio-Botanica’s designated carrier, Seller shall be responsible for any shipping costs above and beyond what Bio-Botanica’s designated carrier would have charged, Bio-Botanica shall not be responsible for such difference and Bio-Botanica may deduct such difference from any amount owed to Seller on any invoice, require a credit for the amount of the difference, or require a new invoice be issued in place of the original invoice that has the difference in shipping reduced from the original invoice amount. Seller’s invoice for freight charges shall include a copy of carrier’s bill. If the Goods are sold FOB point of destination, Seller shall ship the goods freight prepaid at Seller’s cost with a responsible carrier of Seller’s choice. Bio-Botanica’s count shall be accepted as final and conclusive on all shipments, regardless of whether the Seller has included an itemized packing list. All transportation methods/modes need to be directed and approved by Bio-Botanica Corporate Transportation.

12. Shipping Under Waiver. If Bio-Botanica requests and Seller agrees in writing to allow Goods to be shipped in advance of requisite testing results, such Goods shall be clearly marked as pending testing and will be quarantined by Bio-Botanica pending such testing and timely receipt of requisite documentation. Seller shall attach to the Goods any provisional certificates of analysis or compliance and, when testing is complete, send all final certificates of analysis or compliance electronically to Bio- Botanica as soon as available. In the event that Goods shipped under quarantine do not meet testing requirements or requisite documentation is not timely received, Seller shall be responsible to have such Goods(“Rejected Goods”) immediately picked up and shipped back to Seller at Seller’s sole expense and to deliver conforming replacement Goods by the original delivery date set forth on the Bio-Botanica Purchase Order or as otherwise updated by Bio-Botanica, including incurring any necessary expedite expenses to meet such delivery date. If Seller fails or refuses to timely pick up the Rejected Goods, Bio-Botanica may in its sole discretion, but is not required to, ship the Rejected Goods back to Seller and Seller shall pay Bio-Botanica for all expenses thereof. Bio-Botanica reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge reasonable storage fees for all Rejected Goods that

13. Certificates. Seller shall attach to all Goods shipped, except for Goods shipped under waiver, all final certificates of compliance or analysis and also send all certificates of compliance or analysis electronically to Bio-Botanica as directed on the Purchase Order.

14. Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss shall pass to Bio-Botanica upon acceptance of the delivery of the Goods by Bio- Botanica at the address designated on the Purchase Order, or when Bio-Botanica’s chosen freight company takes possession of FOB items, except that in the event the Goods are non-conforming, title to and risk of loss of such non-conforming Goods shall remain at all times with Seller unless and until Bio-Botanica agrees in writing to accept such non-conforming Goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) risk of loss remains with Seller until cure or acceptance and (2) title reverts to Seller with respect to any rejection or refusal by Bio-Botanica to receive or retain the Goods, or justified revocations of acceptance. Seller shall bear all cost and expense of return shipments. Seller shall bear all risk and loss for improperly loaded Goods. Seller shall inspect all trucks/trailers used to transport the Goods prior to loading and shall not permit loading if any such truck/trailer is not food safe. Seller shall permit carriers to monitor loading of Goods.

15. Non-Conforming Goods. Non-conforming goods shall include any Goods that are defective, damaged, contaminated, improperly packaged or loaded or fail to conform to: (1) any requirements and specifications set forth in the Pur chase Order, these Terms and the Qualification Documents,(2) original packing or packaging, including such that is not food safe or is otherwise in non-original condition, such as broken pallets, ripped or open packaging, or if there is any indication of contamination, adulteration, or animal/rodent/insect presence, including, but not limited to, droppings, (3) any approved specifications for the Goods ordered, whether of Bio-Botanica or Seller, such as identified specifications for Seller’s product offerings, (4) labeling requirements, including that all labeling, packaging and units must match previously received labeling, packing and units for like Goods from Seller, or (5) any industry, governmental or other generally applicable standard. Non- conformity shall be determined by Bio-Botanica, including any Bio-Botanica test results even if different from Seller’s test results, and Bio-Botanica’s test results shall be conclusive. Seller shall, immediately upon being notified of or the discovery of any non-conformity in Goods, including, but not limited to any ingredient, material, packing, packaging or supplies related thereto, notify Bio-Botanica and provide Bio-Botanica with all documents that suggest or indicate that Goods may be, in whole or in part, non-confirming, including, but not limited to, complaints, notices, inquiries, testing and inspection results, internal investigations, and warnings. In the event any Goods are non-conforming, Bio-Botanica shall have, in addition to its other rights and remedies pursuant to the Purchase Order, including these Terms and Qualification Documents, or at law or in equity, the right to cancel or terminate the Purchase Order for cause, in whole or in part, or require Seller to promptly replace or repair (if applicable) defects of any non-conforming goods at the expense of Seller.

If any Goods are delivered to Bio-Botanica with any contamination or animal/rodent/insect presence that results in an infestation at Bio-Botanica’s facilities, Seller shall be liable for not only all Damages related to the Goods but also all Damages related to any other goods located at Bio-Botanica’s facilities that become contaminated or infested as a result, such as adjacently stored goods.

16. Shelf Life Requirements. Seller shall ensure that all Goods have 60% or greater shelf life remaining when delivered to Bio- Botanica of the shelf life set forth by Seller in any specifications for the Goods, including in any Qualification Documents, unless agreed otherwise in writing by Bio-Botanica.

17. Inspection; Reservation of Rights. Bio-Botanica shall have the right, but not the obligation, to inspect and/or test all Goods delivered pursuant to any Purchase Order and reject, in whole or in part, any or all the Goods. Nothing in the Purchase Order or other Contract documents shall relieve Seller of any obligation of testing, inspection and/or quality control. Bio-Botanica may reject and return to Seller at Seller’s expense and risk any non-conforming or defective Goods, or excess or partial shipments, including, but not limited to any partial or opened packages and Seller shall refund or credit, at Bio-Botanica’s choice, all amounts for all such non-conforming Goods, including all opened and partial packages. Bio-Botanica expressly reserves its right to inspect Goods prior to payment and acceptance, but the making or failure to make any inspection of, or payment for the Goods shall not impair such right nor constitute acceptance by Bio-Botanica, notwithstanding Bio-Botanica’s opportunity to inspect the Goods. If Bio-Botanica agrees to accept non-conforming Goods, the price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted downward.

18. Pricing. The price of the Goods and/or Services shall be as stated on the Purchase Order and Bio-Botanica shall not be billed at a price greater than stated on the Purchase Order unless authorized in writing by Bio-Botanica and shall be inclusive of all other charges, including, but not limited to, customs, duties, all sales, use, excise and property taxes, shipping, packaging, boxing, carting, crating, labeling, storage, loading, securing on the carrier at the shipping point, insurance and any other similar charges.

Seller shall give Bio-Botanica no less than sixty (60) days’ notice in writing of any requested pricing changes, which shall not become effective until the later of sixty (60) days and acceptance in writing by Bio-Botanica, and such pricing changes will only apply to Purchase Orders placed by Bio-Botanica after such later date.

Any price reductions made in the Goods hereunder subsequent to placement of a Purchase Order but prior to payment thereof will be made available to Bio-Botanica.

19. Payment. a. For any Seller that Bio-Botanica is directed to use by a Bio-Botanica customer (“Customer”), Bio-Botanica’s payment terms for payment to Seller, if shorter than the Customer’s terms, may be extended at any time before or after the Purchase Order is issued in Bio-Botanica’s sole discretion to match the Customer’s payment terms with Bio-Botanica. b.
