Ferrotec's written consent.

Section 1 General, Scope of Application(1) The following General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Supply (in thefollowing "GTCs") apply to all business relationships of Ferrotec EuropeGmbH (in the following "Ferrotec") with its customers. However, they only
apply where the customer is an entrepreneur within the meaning ofsection 14 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - BGB), a legal
entity under public law or a special public fund (öffentlich-rechtliches
Sondervermögen).
(2) No terms and conditions used by the customer apply. Such conditions will
not become an integral component of the contract either if Ferrotec,
despite having the knowledge of contrary conditions of the customer or
conditions of the customer departing from these GTCs, confirms an orderof the customer's or performs delivery to the customer without
reservation.
(3) The word "Products" will be used in the following for all products andservices provided by Ferrotec.

Section 2 Offer, Conclusion of Contract, Reservation of Right tomake Changes(1)

Ferrotec's offers are non-binding and may be changed without notice
unless they are expressly marked as binding or they contain a binding
deadline by which an offer must be accepted.

(2) The customer's order is a legally binding offer to enter into a contract.
Unless stated otherwise therein, Ferrotec can accept the offer within 14
calendar days of its receipt.
(3) Ferrotec will accept such offer upon receipt of a written declaration (e.g.
by order confirmation or dispatch advice/advice that products are readyfor collection) by the customer or by delivering the products.
(4) For the purpose of these GTCs and compliance with written-form
requirements it is sufficient for communications to be sent by email.
(5) If Ferrotec advises the customer in connection with the conclusion of thepurchase contract this will be subject to best knowledge; this does notgive rise to a consultancy agreement. Data and information with respect
to the suitability and area of application of the Products are non-binding
and do not release the customer from its obligation to itself inspect andcarry out tests with regard to the suitability of the Products delivered forthe procedures and purposes intended by it.
(6) Any oral agreements entered into before the written contract was
concluded are not legally binding and are superseded in full by the written
contract, unless the contract expressly states that they are to continue toapply and that they are binding.
(7) Any individually negotiated terms – including those made verbally – takeprecedence over these GTCs. If proof is required of the content of thecontract a written contract or written confirmation from Ferrotec's
management is authoritative.
(8) Ferrotec reserves the right to undertake minor changes customary in thebusiness to the construction and specification, provided they are in theinterests of technical progress and the customer can be reasonably
expected to accept them.

Section 3 Payment Conditions, Default(1) All Ferrotec prices are free carrier / FCA (Incoterms 2020) unless agreed
otherwise. Statutory VAT is not included in the Ferrotec prices and will berecorded separately on the invoice in the respective amount.
(2) Ferrotec reserves the right to amend the prices accordingly if, once thecontract has been concluded, costs increase or decrease, in particularowing to changes in the price of the materials and energy or changes intransport costs, unless delivery is to be made within two months ofconclusion of the contract. The same shall apply if the parties have agreed
on a delivery and performance period of less than two months and if
delivery can only be made by Ferrotec later than two months after
confirmation of the order for reasons for which the customer is
responsible. Ferrotec will give due notice of the relevant price changes
and provide proof for cost increases to the customer upon request.
Unless agreed otherwise, the customer will have to pay not only theagreed remuneration but also all necessary ancillary costs, such as travel
costs, cost for transporting tooling and equipment and personnel
allowances.
(3) In each case remuneration is due for payment within 30 calendar days of
invoicing and delivery or acceptance of the Products, if the latter is agreed
in an individual case. In the case of new customers, Ferrotec is entitled todemand an advance payment of 10 % of the respective remuneration, due
for payment within 14 days of the invoice being issued.
(4) As a rule payments will be made by bank transfer. The customer will bear
any transfer charges. Payment by bills of exchange may only be madeafter obtaining prior written consent from Ferrotec; in any event bills of
exchange are only accepted on account of performance.
(5) If the customer fails to meet the above payment deadline it is in default of
payment, in particular without the need for a reminder, unless it did
neither act intentionally nor negligently with regard to the default. During
default, interest will accrue on the purchase price at the applicablestatutory default interest rate. Ferrotec is also entitled to the standard
default amount pursuant to section 288 subsection 5 sentence 1 German
Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - BGB). Ferrotec reserves the right toassert any further default damage. If payment by instalments has been
agreed and if the customer defaults on payment of an instalment thebalance of the debt from the contractual relationship will be due forpayment immediately.

claim.
(7) If the financial situation of the customer deteriorates after conclusion of
the contract or if a deterioration only becomes noticeable to Ferrotec
once the contract has been concluded so that the payment claim of
Ferrotec is in jeopardy Ferrotec may, subject to any further claims, revoke
payment deadlines granted and make further deliveries dependent on
advance payment or the grant of other securities. The same applies in theevent of default with payment.

(9) Documents and prototypes made available by Ferrotec as a rule will only
be considered to be approximate values unless it is stated expressly in
writing that they are binding.

Section 4 Delivery Terms, Delivery Dates and Delay in Delivery(10) Offer documents, specifications and prototypes remain in the ownershipof Ferrotec.

(2) At the request of the customer the Products will be sent to the finaldestination specified by the customer. The dispatch mode and route will
be at Ferrotec's discretion, unless otherwise agreed.

At the request of the customer, Ferrotec willtake out transport insurance at its own cost. Any transport damage must
be reported in writing to Ferrotec and the transport company shipping the
Products, and if the loss or damage was not externally visible, withinseven calendar days of delivery.
(3) Part deliveries are permissible, if (a) a part delivery is usable for thecustomer within the scope of the contractual intended purpose, (b) the
fulfilment of the remaining delivery is ensured, and (c) the customer does
not incur any significant additional expense as a result of the part delivery
or if the customer consents thereto.
(4) Where it has been expressly agreed that the Products will be formally
accepted, the statutory provisions for contracts for work and services(Werkvertragsrecht) will apply accordingly.
(5) If the customer is in default of acceptance Ferrotec will be entitled to store
the Products at the expense and risk of the customer. Fixed compensationof EUR 100,00 per pallet and full week will be paid starting from thedelivery date - or in the absence of a delivery date - when notification isissued that the Products are ready to be dispatched. Ferrotec reserves theright to prove further damage. Further statutory claims and rights by
Ferrotec remain unaffected. If the customer pays a flat rate compensation
to Ferrotec, it will be credited against Ferrotec's claims. However, thecustomer retains the right to prove that the actual costs were not incurredor are lower.
(6) A delivery date will be specified at the due discretion of Ferrotec and is
only approximate unless a fixed delivery date has been expressly
promised or agreed.
(7) Delivery dates will be deemed to have been met if, by this date, thecustomer has received notification of readiness for dispatch or – if theparties have agreed on dispatch – the Products have been handed over tothe forwarding agent, carrier or other transport person, or could have been
handed over in the event of their non-appearance or non-punctual
appearance(8) Observance of the delivery dates and deadlines is contingent upon thecustomer properly and punctually satisfying all obligations to cooperateincumbent upon it and also subject to Ferrotec having being supplied in acorrect and timely manner. Should it become apparent that delays arelikely Ferrotec will notify the customer as soon as possible. Delivery
dates/times will be extended automatically by an appropriate period if thecustomer does not fulfil its contractual obligations, other duties tocooperate or other obligations, whereby it may always exploit thepayment deadlines to the maximum.
(9) Events caused by force majeure (including but not limited to any
disruption to operations, fire, natural disasters, weather, flooding, strikes,
lockout, war, insurgency, terrorism, epidemics and pandemics, transportdelays, lawful lockouts, shortage of energy, raw or human resources,delays in the issue of necessary official permits, official/sovereign
measures, embargoes) and other events which were not foreseeable on
the date on which the contract was concluded and which could not beaverted even by exercising reasonably expected diligence and for which
Ferrotec is not responsible exempt Ferrotec from the delivery dates of theaffected contracts for the duration of the disruption and for the scope of
its effect. If Ferrotec becomes aware of such an event, Ferrotec shallnotify the customer without undue delay. If such events occur, even if they
are temporary, the delivery dates will be extended automatically by the
duration of the event plus a reasonable start-up period.
(10) This applies irrespective of whether these events were caused byforce majeure at Ferrotec, a supplier or another subcontractor of
Ferrotec.

Ferrotec Europe GmbH

(11) Ferrotec is entitled to withdraw from the contract if such events make it
substantially more difficult or impossible for Ferrotec to perform theobligations under the contract and if such occurrences are more than justtemporary.
(12) Any delays of the customer in cooperating will entitle Ferrotec to postpone
delivery.
(13) The provisions on frustration of contract (section 313 German Civil Code- Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - BGB) remain unaffected hereby.
(14) Default on delivery will be determined as provided for in statute. In any
event the customer must send a reminder. If Ferrotec is in default withdelivery the customer may demand reimbursement of any loss incurredowing to the delay in accordance with statutory provisions in addition to
supply. However, provided Ferrotec has not acted with intent or grossnegligence and that there is no injury to life, body or health, this claim isrestricted to 0.5 % of the value of the delivery concerned per week ofdefault and to a maximum of 5 % of the value of the delivery concerned.
This has no effect on the customer's right to withdraw from the contract
after a reasonable period has elapsed and/or to compensation for nonfulfilment in accordance with section 8, unless Ferrotec is not responsible
therefor. In all other respects, the statutory provisions apply.

Section 5 Reservation of Title(1) Ferrotec reserves title in the Products supplied until all amounts due to it
under the business relationship with the customer have been settled infull; In this respect all deliveries are treated collectively. Where Ferrotec
supplies on current account reservation of title serves as security for theamounts due to Ferrotec.
(2) The customer is obliged to handle the Products with care; in particular,
the customer is obliged to insure the Products adequately against the riskof fire, water damage and theft on a replacement value basis at its own
cost.
(3) The customer may not pledge the reserved goods or assign them as
security. In the event of seizure or any other third-party intervention, thecustomer will notify Ferrotec in writing without undue delay so that
Ferrotec can initiate legal proceedings pursuant to section 771 Code ofCivil Procedure (Zivilprozessordnung - ZPO) in order to prevent theexecution of a judgment. If the third party is unable to reimburse the costs
incurred by Ferrotec in court and out of court for a claim pursuant tosection 771 Code of Civil Procedure (Zivilprozessordnung - ZPO), thecustomer is liable for the shortfall incurred at Ferrotec.
(4) If the customer combines or mixes any Products in which Ferrotec has(joint) title with other items to form a new single item in such a way that
one of the new items must be regarded as the principal item, Ferrotec has
pro rata (joint) title in the new item thus created, such (joint) title being theratio of the value of the Products (co-)owned by Ferrotec to the value ofthe combined or mixed items at the time of such combining or mixing, andthe customer will transfer title and possession therein here and now.
Ferrotec hereby accepts this assignment and transfer. The customer willhold the item created by combination or mixing in safekeeping for
Ferrotec free of charge.
(5) If the customer or a third party acting on behalf of the customer processes
or modifies the Products which Ferrotec (co-)owns, this is deemed to havebeen carried out for Ferrotec. If the customer acquires sole title in the newitem created by way of such processing or modification, the parties are
deemed to have agreed that the customer will transfer to Ferrotec title
therein in the ratio of the value of Products which Ferrotec owns to thevalue of the combination or modification and Ferrotec will accept suchtransfer. The customer will hold Products in which Ferrotec has sole or cotitle which has been thus created in custody for Ferrotec free of charge.
(6) If the Products in which Ferrotec has title have not been inseparably
combined or mixed with other items or otherwise processed or modified
since supply, their value at the time of combining, mixing, processing or
modification is deemed to be the amount which Ferrotec billed for the
Products including statutory value-added tax.

(7) The customer may resell the Products in the ordinary course of business.
The customer will reserve title as against its buyer until payment has been
made in full. The customer hereby assigns to Ferrotec any claims which
may arise against its customers from resale of the goods supplied by
Ferrotec together with all ancillary rights until such time as all claims havebeen satisfied in full. Ferrotec hereby accepts this assignment. If thecustomer and its buyer operate a current account, the customer willassign to Ferrotec the acknowledged balance in order to secure Ferrotec's
claims and, in the event that the customer's buyer should become
insolvent, the "causal" balance from the current account. Ferrotec hereby
accepts this assignment. This clause on the assignment of claims also
applies to the item newly created by processing, modification,
combination or mixing. The assignment applies to the customer's entire
claim against its buyer in each case.
(8) The customer has a revocable right to collect any claims assigned.
Ferrotec's right to collect claims remains unaffected. Ferrotec will notcollect claims by itself and will not revoke the collection authorisation aslong as the customer fulfils its payment obligations and is not in default of
payment. On request from Ferrotec the customer will notify its customersof the assignment to third parties and provide Ferrotec with any
information or documents which it needs to assert its rights.
(9) At the customer's request, Ferrotec will release what securities it sees fit
in as far as the realisable value of the securities exceeds the value of theclaims to be secured by more than a total of 10 %.
(10) If the reservation of title is invalid or unenforceable under the law of thecountry in which the Products are located, the parties will be deemed tohave agreed to whatever security under the law of that country
corresponds most closely to a reservation of title. The customer will assist
and support Ferrotec in arranging the security. If the reservation of title is
not valid under the law of the country in which the Products are locatedunless it has been duly registered with an authority or entered in a register,
the customer will arrange for or assist with such registration in Ferrotec's
favour without undue delay as soon as the Products have arrived in thatcountry and will notify Ferrotec thereof unbidden.

Section 6 Customer Warranty Claims(1) The customer's rights in respect of quality and legal title (including
incorrect delivery and insufficient quantities, faulty assembly or
instructions) are subject to statutory requirements unless otherwise
stated or qualified in these GTCs.
(2) Unless otherwise agreed, the quality of the Products due under thecontract will be solely as set out in the Ferrotec product specifications
which were valid at the time the contract was concluded; for standard
products these are derived from Ferrotec's data sheet applicable at thetime. As far as the parties have agreed on requirements with regard to acertain feature of the Product, this excludes other requirements related to
the feature, even if they correspond to the objective requirements for the
Product. Ferrotec expressly does not assume any warranty for the
Products being suitable for the purpose intended by the customer, unlessotherwise expressly agreed.
(3) The customer will inspect the goods immediately after receipt provided
this is possible in the usual course of business and will inform Ferrotec inwriting of any obvious defects without undue delay at the latest however
within seven working days of delivery. The customer must notify Ferrotec
in writing of any defects, which cannot be recognised in the context of its
due course of business, at the latest within three working days after
discovery of the defect. Otherwise the delivery will be deemed to havebeen accepted unless Ferrotec has fraudulently concealed defects. The
Products must be inspected in accordance with the specifications laid out
by Ferrotec. If the customer does not carry out a due and proper
inspection of the Products and/or issue due and proper notice of defects,
this will invalidate any warranty obligation which Ferrotec may have inrespect of the defect concerned.
(4) The warranty will lapse if changes are made to the Products by thecustomer itself or by third parties unless the customer proves that there
is no causal link between the changes carried out and the defect which
occurred. The customer alone is responsible for integrating the Products

Ferrotec Europe GmbHin the technical, structural and organisational set-up (responsibility forsystems integration).
(5) Claims as to defects do not exist if the defect results from inappropriate
or unsuitable use or storage, inappropriate or unsuitable transport, faulty
or negligent handling.
(6) If Ferrotec has supplied defective goods, Ferrotec has the right and theobligation to choose to either render subsequent fulfilment by remedying
the defect (improvement) or supplying a Product free of defects(replacement). Subsequent fulfilment shall not include the removal of thedefective Product, the re-installation of the defect-free or repaired
Product or the reimbursement of the related costs, if Ferrotec was not
originally obliged to install the Product. If Ferrotec supplies a
replacement, the customer must return the defective items to Ferrotec asprovided for by statute. Recourse claims by the customer against Ferrotec
shall only exist in so far as the ultimate buyer is a consumer.
(7) The customer is entitled to rescind the contract or to reduce the purchaseprice if the subsequent fulfilment is impossible or unsuccessful, if thecustomer cannot be reasonably expected to accept it, if it is refused by
Ferrotec without justification or if it is not executed within a reasonable
deadline set by the customer or not required according to statutory
provisions. Withdrawal from the agreement is not permitted in the eventof defects which are only minor.
(8) In the event of defects the customer has compensation claims pursuant
to statute and section 8 of these GTCs.

Section 7 Legal Defect(1) In as far as rights of third parties prevent the contractual use of the
Products the customer will inform Ferrotec in writing without undue delayof the assertion of such rights of third parties and will give Ferrotec all
powers of attorney and grant all authorities required to defend theProducts against the rights of third parties asserted at its own costs.
(2) In as far as the rights of third parties prevent the contractual use of the
Products Ferrotec will, at its discretion, introduce appropriate measures
to eliminate the rights of third parties or the assertion thereof, procure therights of use from the third party at its own expense or replace theProducts (= subsequent fulfilment) in such a manner that it no longer
infringes the rights of third parties if and in as far as the compliance of the
Products with the contract is not impaired.
(3) The customer is entitled to rescind the contract or to reduce the purchaseprice if the subsequent fulfilment is impossible or unsuccessful, if thecustomer cannot be reasonably expected to accept subsequentfulfilment, if it is refused by Ferrotec without justification or if it is not
executed within a reasonable deadline set by the customer or not required
according to statutory provisions. The customer may not withdraw fromthe contract where impairment of contractually agreed use of the
Products is immaterial.
(4) A claim for compensation in accordance with statutory regulations andthe regulations set out in section 8 of these GTCs can only be made if
Ferrotec knew or ought to have known of the contradictory third-party
rights.

Section 8 Liability for Compensation(1) Unless otherwise set out in these GTCs, Ferrotec is liable for a breach ofcontractual and non-contractual duties as provided for by statute.
(2) Ferrotec is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and theintent and gross negligence of its legal representatives and vicarious

(4) Ferrotec is also liable if it, its legal representatives or vicarious agentsnegligently breach duties which must be fulfilled before the contract canbe executed in the first place and which the customer relies on or isentitled to rely on being fulfilled. However, if Ferrotec, its legal
representatives or vicarious agents has (have) not acted with intent,
liability is restricted in amount to foreseeable damage when the contract
was entered into and typical for this type of contract.

(2) If necessary to carry out tests by authorities or for Ferrotec to carry out
export procedures, the customer will, upon request, immediately provide
Ferrotec with all information about the end recipient, the final destinationand intended use of the products as well as the export control restrictions
that apply in this regard. The customer also undertakes to provide all

Republic of Germany, the European Union, the United States ofAmerica, Japan, the United Nations or any other relevant country orstate, through such transfer, export or re-export of the products,
through the brokering of contracts for such products or through theprovision of other economic resources in connection with suchproducts, also taking into account any restrictions on domestictransactions and any bans on circumvention, but only if (i) the United
Nations Security Council under Chapter VII of the Charter of theUnited Nations, (ii) the Council of the European Union within theframework of Chapter 2 of the Treaty on European Union or (iii) the

expenses, liabilities, losses, demands or proceedings resulting from a
breach of the customer's obligations in accordance with Section 12 ofthese General Terms and Conditions, unless the customer is not
responsible.

provisions, the same will apply to the personal liability of Ferrotec's
corporate bodies, legal representatives, staff and vicarious agents.

(Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch – BGB), the limitation period for claims –including non-contractual claims – for quality defects and defects in title
is one (1) year from delivery. This limitation period applies to allcontractual and non-contractual compensation claims of the customer
which are based on defects in the Products, unless application of thestatutory limitation period would mean a shorter limitation period in an
individual case. The statutory provisions regarding suspension and delay
in time bar/ suspended expiry and the limitation periods under the
Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) remain unaffected thereby.
(2) The limitation period defined in section 9 subsection 1 does not apply tothe cases described in section 8 subsections 1 to 4. The statutory
limitation periods apply exclusively to these compensation claims of thecustomer.
