1. ACCEPTANCE: These terms and conditions and the documents referred to herein govern all Purchase Orders ("Orders") issued by Donnelley Financial LLC ("Donnelley Financial") or one of its subsidiaries located in the United States of America to the Supplier identified on each Order. Fulfillment of any part of an Order, or any other conduct by Supplier which recognizes the existence of a contract pertaining to the subject matter of such Order, shall constitute acceptance by Supplier of such Order and all of the terms and conditions included or referenced on this page (the "Contract Terms"). Donnelley Financial objects to any terms proposed in Supplier's proposal, sales note, acknowledgment or other form of acceptance of Donnelley Financial's offer which add to, vary from, or conflict with the Contract Terms. Any such proposed terms shall be void and the Contract Terms constitute the complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions between Supplier and Donnelley Financial. The Contract Terms may be modified only by a written instrument executed by authorized representatives of both Supplier and Donnelley Financial. If an Order has been issued by Donnelley Financial in response to Supplier's offer and if any of the Contract Terms add to, vary from or conflict with any terms of Supplier's offer, then the issuance of the Order by Donnelley Financial shall constitute an acceptance of Supplier's offer subject to the express conditions that Supplier assents to the additional, different and conflicting Contract Terms and acknowledges that the Order and these Contracts Terms constitutes the entire agreement between Supplier and Donnelley Financial with respect to the subject matter hereof and the subject matter of Supplier's offer. Supplier shall be deemed to have accepted the Contract Terms unless Supplier notifies Donnelley Financial to the contrary in a writing signed by Supplier's authorized representative within one (1) business day after receipt of the Order.

2. TERMINATION: Donnelley Financial may terminate for convenience at any time by written notice any Order, or its obligation to purchase any products or services from Supplier. If an Order is terminated for convenience, the Order shall be deemed terminated upon receipt of the Notice,, unless the notice specifies a date for termination or otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties. Donnelley Financial shall pay for any products delivered or services performed prior to the date that termination becomes effective (on a pro rata basis if Donnelley Financial has paid in advance any fees covering a fixed period of Services). Unless Donnelley Financial has requested and received a refund in respect of any undelivered product(s) or terminated services, it shall be entitled to the delivery of all product(s) and completion of all services for which it has paid prior to the effective date of the termination. In addition to any other remedy provided at law or equity, either party shall have the right to terminate or cancel an Order, and any obligation to purchase, sell or provide a product or service, in the event the other party (a) fails to comply with any condition of the Order or any related Agreement, and such failure is not remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given to such other party; (b) becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer for all or parts of its business or assets; or (c) avails itself of or becomes subject to any bankruptcy proceeding under the laws or any jurisdiction relating to insolvency or the protection of rights of creditors.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY: All specifications, documents, artwork, or drawings delivered to Supplier by Donnelley Financial, and any other non-public information Donnelley Financial discloses to Supplier, remains Donnelley Financial's property. The information is provided to Supplier solely for the purpose of Supplier's performance of the Order and on the express condition that neither the Order nor the information contained therein or provided in connection therewith shall be disclosed to others nor used for any purpose other than in connection with the Order without Donnelley Financial's prior express written consent. Donnelley Financial reserves the right to request that Supplier return all such information to Donnelley Financial or destroy it. Supplier's obligations under this paragraph shall survive the cancellation, termination or other completion of the Order.

4. WARRANTY: Supplier expressly warrants that all products and services supplied to Donnelley Financial by Supplier as a result of an Order shall conform to the specifications, drawings or other description upon which the Order is based, shall be fit and sufficient for the purpose intended, merchantable, of good material and workmanship, free from defects and free and clear of all liens or encumbrances. Inspection, testing, acceptance or use of the goods by Donnelley Financial shall not affect Supplier's obligations under this warranty, and such warranty shall survive inspection, testing, acceptance and use. Supplier agrees to replace or correct promptly defects of any goods or services not conforming to the foregoing warranty without expense to Donnelley Financial, when notified of such non-conformity by Donnelley Financial. If Supplier fails to correct defects in or replace non-conforming goods or services promptly, Supplier will be responsible for any costs or damages incurred by Donnelley Financial due to errors or defects in, or non-performance or non-delivery of, all or any part of the goods or services specified in any Order.

5. PRICE: An Order must not be filled at a higher price than shown on the Order. Unless another currency is specified on the order, all monetary amounts are deemed to be expressed in U.S. dollars. If no price is shown, Supplier must notify the Donnelley Financial Buyer who issued the Order of the price and his/her acceptance must be obtained in writing before filling the Order. The price shall not in any event be higher than the lowest price Supplier provides to any of Supplier's other customers ordering similar quantities, after taking into consideration all rebates, discounts and allowances. Unless otherwise provided on the Order, delivery of Goods shall be f.o.b. destination and Supplier will not charge for boxing, packing, crating or other charges. Supplier's prices include any and all related customs duty. If Supplier sells products to Donnelley Financial, or if the services include provision to Donnelley Financial of any deliverables, subject to any customs duty, Supplier's prices include any and all related customs duty.

6. TAXES: Donnelley Financial will not be liable for any taxes with respect to an Order, except for sales, use, retailers occupation, service occupation, excise, ad valorem, value added, or consumption taxes imposed by any governmental authority for the purchase of the products Supplier supplies, which Supplier is required by law to collect from Donnelley Financial. Supplier shall not collect or remit, and Donnelley Financial shall not be liable for, any such taxes if Donnelley Financial has provided Supplier with a tax exemption certificate. Donnelley Financial also will not be liable for any taxes of any nature based on the income of Supplier. If Donnelley Financial is required by the law of any jurisdiction to withhold any taxes, duties, fees, levies, or charges ("Withholding Taxes") from any fees or other charges (including reimbursement of expenses) paid to Supplier, Donnelley Financial will be entitled to deduct the amount of such Withholding Taxes from the amount of such fees or other charges (including reimbursement of expenses). If Supplier is either exempt from withholding or entitled to a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to a tax treaty or other applicable law, and provides Donnelley Financial with adequate documentation of such exemption from or reduced rate of withholding, Donnelley Financial will be entitled to withhold only such Withholding Taxes from which Supplier is not exempt. In case of doubt by Donnelley Financial as to Donnelley Financial's liability for any such tax, Supplier shall allow Donnelley Financial, at Donnelley Financial's expense, to assume control of any litigation or proceeding relating to the determination and settlement of such tax. Donnelley Financial shall, upon final settlement of such litigation and proceeding, reimburse Supplier for any tax owing including in the amount to be reimbursed, any interest charges and penalties accruing thereon.

7. INVOICES: Supplier agrees to issue invoices referencing the Order number, line number (where applicable), release number (where applicable), item number, description of items, sizes, quantities, unit prices and extended totals. If an Order contains more than one item, Supplier's invoice will make the proper reference. Taxes, if any that are to be collected by Supplier shall be stated separately and shall be remitted by Supplier to the appropriate taxing authority. All invoices shall comply with the requirements of each relevant taxing authority and shall contain data and registration numbers that will enable Donnelley Financial to obtain appropriate credit for any Taxes charged. All invoices shall be sent to the email or street address on the Order. Failure to comply with the above may result in delayed payment or returned invoices.

8. PAYMENT: As full consideration for Supplier's satisfactory provision of the products or performance of the services, Donnelley Financial will pay Supplier's invoice not later than seventy-five (75) days following Donnelley Financial's receipt of said invoice unless otherwise indicated in supplier agreement. Donnelley Financial's payment of any such invoice shall constitute full and complete satisfaction of any and all actual and potential fees for the billing period covered by the invoice. Partial payments will not be made, unless Donnelley Financial agrees otherwise in writing. All payment terms will be calculated based upon date of invoice and payment terms will be considered satisfied based upon date of postmark of payment, or if EFT payment, date of transmission. Donnelley Financial shall receive invoices within three (3) business days of invoice date.

9. PRESUMPTIONS: Supplier shall be conclusively presumed to have waived Supplier's right to receive payment for products or services covered by any Order if Supplier has not submitted an invoice for the products or services within one (1) year of the date of the Order. Supplier's submission of an invoice shall give rise to a presumption that the charges are the full amount Supplier is due for the products or services listed on or referred to in the invoice for the purpose of determining the existence of any underpayment. Supplier may submit supplemental invoices only if accompanied by a photocopy of the original invoice and documentation acceptable to Donnelley Financial that establishes the validity of Supplier's claim for underpayment. Supplier waives any claim for underpayment if a supplemental invoice and supporting documentation have not been furnished within the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the Delivery Date or performance of the services covered by the supplemental invoice, or (ii) three (3) months after the date of submission of the original invoice.

10. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither party shall be liable for a delay in performance of its obligations and responsibilities under this Order due to causes beyond its control, and without its fault or negligence, such as but not limited to war, embargo, national emergency, insurrection or riot, acts of the public enemy, fire, flood or other natural disaster, provided that said party has taken reasonable measures to notify the other promptly in writing, of delay (but in any event, within 72 hours of the force majeure event). Time is of the essence of this Agreement, and should Supplier fail to comply with Donnelley Financial's delivery schedule or otherwise fail to comply with its obligations hereunder, Donnelley Financial may terminate this Order without liability. Failure of subcontractors or inability to obtain materials shall not be considered as a force majeure delay.

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: If Supplier provides to Donnelley Financial any development, consulting, analysis, design, computer programming, installation, testing, conversion, implementation, training, technical writing and any other services resulting in the creation or modification of any computer programs, firmware, schematics, flowcharts, drawings, specifications, documentation, reports, recommendations or other writings, information or material embodied in a tangible medium, the terms and conditions of Donnelley Financial's Specifications D-1 (Terms for Development and Professional Services) shall apply to that Order.

The Commercial General Liability policy shall name Donnelley Financial as an additional insured as its interest may appear, contain a cross liability (severability of interests) provision and be primary and non-contributory to any insurance available or maintained by Donnelley Financial. Additional insurance requirements may apply under the Donnelley Financial G-1 Specifications. No exceptions to these coverages may be made unless approved in writing by Donnelley Financial.

No provision under this section shall be construed or deemed to limit Supplier's obligations under this Agreement to pay damages or other costs and expenses.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: IN NO EVENT WILL Donnelley Financial BE LIABLE TO SUPPLIER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR BUSINESS, OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING FROM OR AS A RESULT OF THESE CONTRACT TERMS, ANY ORDER OR ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES SUPPLIER PROVIDES, EVEN IF Donnelley Financial HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

If any such change has an effect on the price, warranty, delivery date or indemnification provisions of the Order, an equitable written acknowledgement of the effect on the changed provisions shall be indicated on the change Order. Supplier may not make any change in drawings, design specifications, scope of work to be performed, time and place of delivery and method of transportation without Donnelley Financial's written Change Order acknowledging the change. Any such Change Orders accepted by Supplier shall be incorporated in and amend the Order.

16. PACKAGING: Unless otherwise specified, the products Supplier sells to Donnelley Financial shall be (a) packed, packaged, marked and otherwise prepared for shipment in a manner which is in accordance with good commercial practice, (b) acceptable to common carriers for shipment at the lowest rate for the particular goods and in accordance with applicable regulations, and (c) adequate to insure safe arrival at the named destination.

Shipments must equal the exact amounts identified in the Order and no partial shipments or runt cartons, changes or substitutions in specifications may be made without Donnelley Financial's prior written consent.

Supplier shall report to Donnelley Financial any delays in a schedule immediately as they become known to Supplier. Donnelley Financial reserve the right to cancel the Order and effect cover if Supplier cannot comply with the schedule(s) indicated on the Order.

Donnelley Financial may from time to time, and with reasonable notice, suspend schedules specified in the Order or such shipment releases. If it becomes necessary for Supplier to ship by a more expensive mode than specified on the Order in order to meet a schedule, Supplier shall pay any resulting premium transportation cost unless Supplier can establish to Donnelley Financial's satisfaction that the necessity for the change in routing is occasioned by force majeure events.

19. ACCEPTANCE: Payment by Donnelley Financial for the products or services delivered hereunder shall not constitute Donnelley Financial's acceptance. Donnelley Financial retains the right to inspect the products or services performed and to reject any or all of the products or services performed which are in Donnelley Financial's judgment defective, as well as the right to inspect Supplier’s manufacturing operations, handling and storage of products and raw material, including the equipment used to manufacture the products. Donnelley Financial will give Supplier reasonable notice of any planned Supplier site visit. No inspection or test made prior to final acceptance shall relieve Supplier for defects or other failure to meet the requirements of this Agreement. Products rejected by Donnelley Financial and products supplied in excess of quantities called for herein may be returned to Supplier at Supplier's expense.

In the event Donnelley Financial receive goods whose defects or nonconformity is not apparent on examination, resulting in deterioration of Donnelley Financial's finished product, Donnelley Financial reserves the right to require the replacement, as well as payment of any resulting damages. When a shipment is rejected based upon Donnelley Financial’s inspection, and such rejection increases the risk of jeopardizing Donnelley Financial’s production schedules by reason of the fact that at least some of the products are necessary to meet such production schedules, then Donnelley Financial, at its option, may charge Supplier for the reasonable costs of an increased level of inspection up to and including inspection of each of the products comprising such shipment.
