• (a) Any terms contained in Buyer’s Purchase Order or any other form or communication received from Buyer that are in addition to or different from the terms and conditions contained herein are expressly objected to and shall be deemed rejected by Seller, unless expressly accepted in writing by Seller. Unless Seller receives written notice from Buyer of any objection hereto within fifteen (15) days after the date of Buyer’s receipt of this Offer to Sell, and in all events prior to any delivery or other performance by Seller hereunder, any subsequent conduct of Buyer that expresses an intention to purchase the goods described herein shall constitute an unconditional acceptance by Buyer of all the terms and conditions of this Offer to Sell.

• (b) If Buyer issues a Purchase Order in response to or in acknowledgement of this Offer to Sell, which does not effectively state that it is expressly conditional on assent by Seller to all of the additional and different terms and conditions contained therein, and if this Offer to Sell and Buyer’s Purchase Order are in substantial agreement with regard to the “bargained terms” (Including, but not limited to, quantity, description, price, payment terms, shipping instructions, etc.), Buyer’s Purchase Order will constitute an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Offer to Sell and the writings of the parties will establish a contract for the purchase and sale of the goods described herein.

• (c) If Buyer issues a Purchase Order in response to or in acknowledgment of this Offer to Sell, which effectively states that it is expressly conditional on assent by Seller to all of the additional and different terms and conditions contained therein, Seller does not affirmatively assent in writing to such terms and conditions, and Buyer accepts Seller’s performance hereunder, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the express condition that all such additional and different terms and conditions be assented to by Seller. All Purchase Orders issued by Buyer will be subject to approval by Seller.

• (d) If this Offer to Sell is issued by Seller subsequent to the issuance of and in response to or in acknowledgment of a Purchase Order by Buyer, acceptance by Seller of such Purchase Order is expressly conditional on assent by Buyer to all additional and different terms and conditions contained here. If such Purchase Order effectively states that acceptance by Seller of such Purchase Order is expressly limited to the terms and conditions contained therein, Seller does not affirmatively assent in writing to such terms and conditions.

2. CANCELLATION BY BUYER:

Buyer shall not have the right to cancel or suspend all or any undelivered or unexecuted portion of this Offer to Sell. If, contrary to the prohibitions of this paragraph, Buyer expressly or, by Buyer’s actions or omissions, impliedly cancels or suspends all or any such undelivered or unexecuted portion of this Offer to Sell, Buyer agrees to make payment to Seller, immediately upon demand for payment by Seller, of all outstanding invoices (including charges for interest, packaging, and shipping) and of Seller’s expenses which in any way result from or are attributable to any such cancellation or suspension.

3. PACKAGING, LABELING AND SHIPPING:

Unless and only to the extent otherwise agreed by Seller, Seller will package the goods, at Buyer’s expense, so as to avoid any damage in transit, identify the goods by displaying Buyer’s name and Purchase Order number on each unit or package shipped and ship the goods, at Buyer’s expense, at the then prevailing transportation rates for the mode of shipment requested by Buyer, if any, or selected by Seller. If the goods are shipped at Seller’s expense, Seller shall pay shipment charges based upon the transportation rates that are in effect for the designated route and carrier on the date of this Offer to Sell and Buyer shall pay Seller the difference, if any, between such shipment charges and the actual shipment charges incurred by Seller.

4. DELIVERY:

Unless and only to the extent otherwise agreed by Seller, Seller shall deliver the goods to Buyer or Buyer’s agent EXW (Incoterms; a.k.a Ex-Works) at Seller’s plant or other point of shipment designated by Seller on the date of the availability of the goods for shipment, which date shall be determined in Seller’s sole discretion, or if applicable, at such other time and/or place as shall be specified pursuant to Buyer’s written instructions which are agreed to in writing by Seller. Regardless of whether Buyer or Seller is to pay shipment charges, Buyer hereby authorizes any truck, rail or other carrier to whom delivery of goods is made hereunder to act as Buyer’s agent for the purpose of acceptance of possession of such goods, allocation of risk of loss, and transfer of title. SELLER MAY, FROM TIME TO TIME, MAKE PARTIAL DELIVERIES OR CHANGE OR TEMPORARILY SUSPEND DELIVERY SCHEDULES. ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATES ARE APPROXIMATE AND ARE DEPENDENT UPON MANY FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SELLER’S ABILITY TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY RAW MATERIALS, SELLER’S SUBCONTRACTORS, IF ANY, MEETING SCHEDULED DELIVERY DATES, AND SELLER’S PROMPT RECEIPT OF ALL INFORMATION NECESSARY TO PERMIT SELLER TO PROCEED WITH WORK IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR LIQUIDATED, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES DUE TO DELAYS IN DELIVERY OR DAMAGE OCCURING IN TRANSIT. Claims for loss or damage to goods in transit by common carrier must be made to such carrier and not to Seller. Claims for shortages, damages (other than those occurring in transit) or other errors in delivery must be made in writing to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of each shipment. Failure to give such notice shall constitute acceptance of each such shipment and a waiver of all such claims by Buyer.

5. RISK OF LOSS AND TITLE:

6. FORCE MAJEURE:

In the event of the existence, happening or continuance of any contingency preventing or substantially interrupting or curtailing the ability of Seller or Seller’s suppliers to perform the work required under this Offer to Sell including, but not limited to, fire, theft, accident, war, order, act, authority, regulation or request of or threat thereof by any federal, state or local unit of government or department or agency thereof, judicial action, industrial disturbance, shortage of labor, fuel, power, components, facilities or raw materials, delay of suppliers, act of or omission to act by Buyer, restriction or lack of transportation facilities, failure or delay in transportation, act of God, breakage or accident to machinery or equipment, involuntary or voluntary shutdown of Seller’s production facilities or any cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller, Seller shall not be under any obligation during the period of such prevention, interruption or curtailment to continue production or make delivery of any goods described herein. If any period of such prevention, interruption or curtailment to continue production or make delivery of any goods described herein is caused, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by an act of or omission to act by Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Seller all additional charges resulting there from. Seller will be entitled to an extension of time for performance of its obligations equal to the period of such prevention, interruption or curtailment. Upon the occurrence of any such contingency, Seller may, but is under no obligation to, allocate production and delivery among Seller’s customers. If Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, determines that Seller’s performance hereunder would result in a loss to Seller on this sale, as computed under Seller’s normal accounting procedures, because of causes beyond Seller’s control, then Seller may terminate this Offer to Sell, in whole or in part, without liability for loss or damage of any nature whatsoever including, but not limited to, liquidated, incidental and consequential damages for any delay in the delivery of or failure to deliver the goods otherwise to be said to Buyer hereunder.

All such taxes shall be borne by Buyer and will be paid by Buyer to Seller upon submission of Seller’s invoices. In the event Seller is required to pay any such taxes, fees or charges, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller therefore upon submission of Seller’s invoices or, in lieu of such payment, Buyer shall provide to Seller at or prior to the time of contract formation an exemption certificate or other similar document acceptable to the governmental authority imposing such tax, fee or charge the effect of which is to exempt Seller from the duly to remit such taxes, fees or charges to such governmental authority.
