assent to these Terms and Conditions. Seller reserves the right in its sole discretion to
refuse orders.

Unless otherwise specified in writing by Seller, the price quoted or specified
by Seller for the Goods shall remain in effect for thirty (30) days after the date of
Seller's quotation or acknowledgment of Buyer's order for the Goods, whichever
occurs first, provided an unconditional authorization from Buyer for the shipment of
the Goods is received and accepted by Seller within such time period. If such
authorization is not received by Seller within such thirty (30) day period, Seller shall
have the right to change the price for the Goods to Seller's price for the Goods at the
time of shipment. All prices are exclusive of taxes, transportation and insurance,
which are to be borne by Buyer.

shall be added to the price.
3.
TERMS OF PAYMENT:
Unless otherwise specified by Seller, terms are net thirty (30)
days from date of Seller's invoice in U.S. currency. Seller shall have the right, among
other remedies, either to terminate this agreement or to suspend further
performance under this and/or other agreements with Buyer in the event Buyer fails

agrees to reimburse Seller for any and all storage costs and other additional expenses
resulting therefrom. Risk of loss and legal title to the Goods shall transfer to Buyer for

condition that Buyer promptly notify Seller of any claim or suit involving Buyer in
which such infringement is alleged and cooperate fully with Seller and permit Seller to
control completely the defense, settlement or compromise of any such allegation of
infringement. Seller's warranty as to use patents only applies to infringement arising
solely out of the inherent operation according to Seller's specifications and
instructions (i) of such Goods, or (ii) of Emerson Network Power Connectivity
Solutions, Inc. any combination of Goods acquired from Seller in a system designed
by Seller. In the event such Goods are held to infringe such a U.S. patent or copyright
in such suit, and the use of such Goods is enjoined, or in the case of a compromise or
settlement by Seller, Seller shall have the right, at its option and expense, to procure
for Buyer the right to continue using such Goods, or replace them with non-infringing
Goods, or modify same to become non-infringing, or grant Buyer a credit for the
depreciated value of such Goods and accept return of them. In the event of the
foregoing, Seller may also, at its option, cancel the agreement as to future deliveries
of such Goods, without liability.

EXCUSE OF PERFORMANCE:
Seller shall not be liable for delays in performance or
for non-performance due to acts of God; acts of Buyer; war; fire; flood; weather;
sabotage; strikes or labor disputes; civil disturbances or riots; governmental requests,
restrictions, allocations, laws, regulations, orders or actions; unavailability of or
delays in transportation; default of suppliers; or unforeseen circumstances or any
events or causes beyond Seller's reasonable control. Deliveries or other performance
may be suspended for an appropriate period of time or canceled by Seller upon notice
to Buyer in the event of any of the foregoing, but the balance of the agreement shall
otherwise remain unaffected as a result of the foregoing.
If Seller determines that its ability to supply the total demand for the Goods, or to
obtain material used directly or indirectly in the manufacture of the Goods, is
hindered, limited or made impracticable due to causes set forth in the preceding
paragraph, Seller may allocate its available supply of the Goods or such material
without obligation to acquire other supplies of any such Goods or material among
itself and its purchasers on such basis as Seller determines to be equitable without
liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom.
9.
CANCELLATION:
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller, orders under this
agreement may not be canceled by Buyer for any reason.
10.
CHANGES:
Buyer may request changes or additions to the Goods consistent with
Seller's specifications and criteria. In the event such changes or additions are accepted
by Seller, Seller may revise the price and dates of delivery.
Seller reserves the right to change designs and specifications for the Goods without
prior notice to Buyer, except with respect to Goods being made-to-order for Buyer.
Seller shall have no obligation to install or make such change in any Goods
manufactured prior to the date of such change.

NUCLEAR/MEDICAL:
GOODS AND SERVICES SOLD HEREUNDER ARE NOT FOR
USE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY NUCLEAR, MEDICAL, LIFESUPPORT AND RELATED
APPLICATIONS. Buyer accepts goods and services with the foregoing understanding,
agrees to communicate the same in writing to any subsequent purchasers or users
and to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any claims, losses, suits,
judgments and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, arising
from such use, whether the cause of action be based in tort, contract or otherwise,
including allegations that the Seller’s liability is based on negligence or strict liability.
12.
BUYER’S COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS:
In connection with the transactions
contemplated by this agreement, Buyer is familiar with and shall fully comply with all
applicable laws, regulations, rules and other requirements of the United States and of
any applicable state, foreign and local governmental body in connection with the
purchase, receipt, use, transfer and disposal of the Goods.

EXPORT/IMPORT:
Buyer agrees that all applicable import and export control
laws, regulations, orders and requirements, including without limitation those of the
United States and the European Union, and the jurisdictions in which the Seller and
Buyer are established or from which Goods and Services may be supplied, will apply
to their receipt and use. In no event shall Buyer use, transfer, release, import, export,
Goods in violation of such applicable laws, regulations, orders or requirements.
14.

Tool, die, and pattern charges, if any, are in addition to the price of the
Goods and are due and payable upon completion of the tooling. All such tools, dies

removal, or prevent their use by Seller for other purchasers, except as otherwise
expressly provided by Seller and Buyer in writing with reference to this provision.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to warranty
defects in Section 5, advance written permission to return Goods must be obtained

restocking and repacking charge and the cost of any reconditioning. Seller reserves
the right to inspect Goods prior to authorizing return.
16.
BUYER SUPPLIED DATA:
To the extent that Seller has been provided by or on
behalf of Buyer any specifications, description of operating conditions or other data
and information in connection with the selection or design of the Goods, and the
actual operating conditions or other circumstances differ from those provided by
Buyer and relied upon by Seller, any warranties or other provisions contained herein
which are affected by such conditions shall be null and void.

Seller's prints and drawings (including without limitation, the
underlying technology) furnished by Seller to Buyer in connection with this
agreement are the property of Seller and Seller retains all rights, including without
limitation, exclusive rights of use, licensing and sale. Possession of such prints or
drawings does not convey to Buyer any rights or license, and Buyer shall return all
copies (in whatever medium) of such prints or drawings to Seller immediately upon
request therefore.
18.
ASSIGNMENT:
Buyer shall not assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder or
any interest herein without the prior written consent of Seller, and any such
assignment, without such consent, shall be void.

GENERAL PROVISIONS:
These terms and conditions supersede all other
communications, negotiations and prior oral or written statements regarding the
subject matter of these terms and conditions. No change, modification, rescission,
discharge, abandonment, or waiver of these terms and conditions shall be binding
upon the Seller unless made in writing and signed on its behalf by a duly authorized
representative of Seller. No conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing or
performance, understanding or agreement purporting to modify, vary, explain, or
supplement these terms and conditions shall be binding unless hereafter made in
writing and signed by the party to be bound, and no modification or additional terms

Non-Magnetic RF Connectors
Introduction
Johnson’s Non-Magnetic Connector Additions
Offer Solutions to MR Imaging Technology
Johnson
®
, a product line of Emerson Network Power Connectivity Solutions, has added two new connector product
groups to its popular line of Non-Magnetic RF coaxial connectors and cable assemblies.
MMCX micro-miniature connectors have been added to satisfy the needs of the RF coil manufacturers that are building
smaller coils for MRI equipment. Customized flex coils and array coils can image smaller parts of the body such as
wrists, feet, hands and other appendages.
The Non-Magnetic MMCX is the perfect micro-miniature connector for small multichannel coil packages as they
provide a positive snap-on coupling design with high mating cycles for rugged, high density connectivity.
The Type N Non-Magnetic connector provides a perfect RF solution for high Tesla fields considered for future designs.
These deep tissue MR images will require the rugged interface of the N connector as well as the tri-alloy plating to
eliminate inter-modulation issues.
All the connectors in Johnson’s Non-Magnetic line are made from high purity copper alloys assuring no ferrous
materials are in the connectors manufactured. Emerson Connectivity Solutions continues to work with our customers
to develop new solutions as the MR industry transitions to high-end field applications and improved resolution at
greater physical depths within the body.
Products are offered through authorized distributors and international sales channels including a direct sales force and
a network of manufacturers’ representatives. For more information, please call (800) 247-8256.
