5. PRICING AND PAYMENT TERMS
5.1 Purchase Price
$[________________________________] (the "Purchase Price"), per Exhibit B.
5.2 Payment Milestones

5.4 Late Payment Interest
Overdue amounts bear interest at the rate of [____]% per annum, not to exceed the maximum effective rate permitted under T.C.A. § 47-14-103 (currently 10% per annum for most commercial transactions), calculated from the due date until actual payment.
Tennessee Interest Rate Law:
- Legal Rate: Tennessee does not have a single "legal interest rate" statute like some states. Instead, T.C.A. § 47-14-103 establishes maximum effective rates by transaction category, generally capping at 10% per annum for commercial loans.
- Prejudgment Interest: Under T.C.A. § 47-14-123, courts or juries may award prejudgment interest at any rate not exceeding 10% per annum, in accordance with principles of equity. Prejudgment interest under this statute is always simple (non-compounding).
- Post-Judgment Interest: The Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts publishes the annual judgment interest rate, which is based on a formula tied to the average prime loan rate. Check the published rate at www.tncourts.gov for the current year.
5.5 Taxes
(a) Sales and Use Tax. Tennessee imposes a state sales tax of 7% on tangible personal property (T.C.A. § 67-6-202), plus local option taxes ranging from 2.25% to 2.75%, for combined rates of 9.25% to 9.75%. Seller shall collect unless Buyer provides a valid exemption certificate.
(b) Industrial Machinery Exemption. Upon receipt of an Industrial Machinery Exemption Certificate from the Tennessee Department of Revenue (T.C.A. § 67-6-206), a manufacturer may purchase industrial machinery and certain related services exempt from sales and use tax. To qualify, the taxpayer must be primarily engaged in manufacturing.
(c) Energy for Manufacturers. Tennessee provides reduced tax rates for manufacturers on energy purchases: water used in manufacturing is taxed at 1% (T.C.A. § 67-6-206(b)(1)); gas, electricity, and energy fuels are taxed at 1.5% (T.C.A. § 67-6-206(b)(1)). A certificate from the Commissioner may fully exempt energy used directly in manufacturing (T.C.A. § 67-6-206(b)(3)).
(d) Responsibility. Buyer is responsible for all taxes after delivery except Seller's income taxes.

Tennessee Practice Note: For non-UCC contract claims (e.g., breach of collateral promises not governed by Article 2), T.C.A. § 28-3-109 provides a six (6)-year statute of limitations for actions on written contracts. Tennessee practitioners should carefully analyze which SOL applies to each claim. Note also that Tennessee has a one (1)-year statute of limitations for certain tort claims under T.C.A. § 28-3-104, which may apply to fraud or negligent misrepresentation claims related to the sale.

☐ Not Elected.
19.4 Litigation
Exclusive jurisdiction in the Circuit Court or Chancery Court of [________________________________] County, Tennessee, or the United States District Court for the [Middle / Eastern / Western] District of Tennessee.
Tennessee Practice Note — Court Selection: Tennessee Circuit Courts are courts of general jurisdiction handling law claims. Chancery Courts handle equitable matters, including specific performance, injunctive relief, and contract reformation. For equipment disputes that may involve both legal and equitable claims, consider strategic forum selection. Davidson County (Nashville) is a common forum for statewide commercial disputes.
19.5 Arbitration (Optional)
☐ Elected. Binding arbitration by [AAA / JAMS / Other] under Commercial Rules in [________________________________], Tennessee.
☐ Not Elected.
19.6 Jury Trial Waiver
EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY TENNESSEE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Tennessee Practice Note: Jury trial waivers in commercial contracts are generally enforceable in Tennessee when the waiver is knowing, voluntary, and conspicuous. The Tennessee Constitution (Art. I, § 6) guarantees the right to trial by jury, so courts require clear evidence that the waiver was voluntary and informed. Bilateral waivers (both parties waive) are more readily enforced than unilateral ones.
19.7 Provisional Remedies
Nothing herein precludes seeking injunctive relief to protect Confidential Information or IP.
20. GENERAL PROVISIONS
20.1 Entire Agreement
This Agreement and Exhibits constitute the entire agreement.
20.2 Amendments
In writing signed by both Parties. Note: Under T.C.A. § 47-2-209, no additional consideration is required for modification of a UCC Article 2 contract, but a signed agreement excluding modification except by signed writing cannot otherwise be modified.
20.3 Assignment
No assignment without consent, except to successors by merger or asset sale.
20.4 Notices
In writing; deemed given upon personal delivery, certified mail, overnight courier, or confirmed email.
20.5 Severability
Invalid provisions modified to minimum extent necessary.
20.6 Force Majeure
No liability for delays beyond reasonable control. Prompt notice, mitigation efforts. If exceeding [____] days, non-affected Party may terminate.
20.7 Electronic Signatures
Effective per the Tennessee UETA (T.C.A. §§ 47-10-101 to 47-10-123) and federal ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.).
20.8 Counterparts
May be executed in counterparts.
20.9 Waiver
No waiver of breach waives subsequent breach. Written waivers only.
20.10 Relationship
Independent contractors.
20.11 Third-Party Beneficiaries
None.
20.12 Construction
(a) Headings for convenience. (b) No rule against drafter. (c) "Including" means without limitation. (d) Statutory references include amendments.
20.13 Tennessee Tax Compliance
Tennessee imposes 7% state sales tax plus local taxes (2.25%–2.75%). Manufacturers with an Industrial Machinery Exemption Certificate (T.C.A. § 67-6-206) may purchase qualifying industrial machinery tax-exempt. Energy for manufacturing is taxed at reduced rates (water: 1%; gas/electricity/fuel: 1.5%) or may be fully exempt with a certificate from the Commissioner. Buyer shall provide exemption certificates and indemnify Seller for tax liability from invalid certificates.
20.14 Tennessee-Specific Tort Claims Notice
Tennessee Practice Note — Statute of Limitations for Tort Claims: Tennessee has a one (1)-year statute of limitations for personal injury and property damage tort claims under T.C.A. § 28-3-104. If any claim arising from defective equipment sounds in tort rather than contract, the shorter SOL applies. This is one of the shortest tort SOLs in the nation and may significantly affect product liability strategy.

About This Template
A contract is a written record of what two or more parties agreed to and what happens if someone does not follow through. Clear language, defined terms, and clean signature blocks keep disputes small and enforceable. The most common mistakes in contracts come from vague promises, missing details about timing or payment, and skipping standard protective clauses like governing law and dispute resolution.
Important Notice
This template is provided for informational purposes. It is not legal advice. We recommend having an attorney review any legal document before signing, especially for high-value or complex matters.
