or health and safety, each party shall have the right, upon fifteen (15) days'

terminate (in case of cessation of operation) performance hereunder. Neither
party shall have any liability to the other with respect to deficiencies in
Product deliveries due to any such cause.

its rights or obligations with respect to the specified transaction(s) without
Seller's prior written consent; any attempted assignment without such consent
shall be void and of no effect. Seller may assign all of its rights and

conditions shall apply to and form part of all Agreements. The Agreement
constitutes the complete and entire understanding and agreement between EM and
Buyer. No other general terms and conditions will have an effect on the
Agreement. Deviations from the Agreement, including these general terms and
conditions, shall be valid only if expressly agreed in writing by the parties.
In the event of a conflict between these general terms and conditions and the

standards for such means of transport. In case of non- or incomplete compliance
with the above requirements, EM will be entitled not to load or cause to load
this means of transportation, without any obligation to compensation.

5. If delivery takes place on reusable pallets (regardless of whether they are

stated on the invoice, without any discount, deduction or set off, so that EM’s

to EM on any account whatsoever immediately and automatically due and payable,

notice the statutory late payment interest rate as defined in the EU Directive
2000/35/EC on combating late payment in commercial transactions.

11. EM and any of its Affiliates (as herein defined) may at any time without

Affiliates to EM and/or to any of its Affiliates.  An Affiliate is (1) for EM :

12.  If one party has objective reasons to conclude that the financial status of
the other party becomes impaired or unsatisfactory, or in case of late payment,
it may require the other party to provide adequate securities, including cash in
advance, for the timely payment of future deliveries, absent which it may
suspend its supply obligations.

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

13. Health and safety information relating to handling and use of products are
in the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) that EM has sent or will send to Buyer. Buyer
shall notify EM if Buyer has not received such information by the delivery date.
EM will assume that Buyer has received the necessary information absent
notification from Buyer. Buyer shall provide such health and safety information
to anyone including without limitation its employees, contractors, agents or
customers who may be exposed to the product. Buyer warrants that it possesses
the necessary expertise for handling products of the type being supplied
hereunder and that it will take the steps necessary to review and understand
that information contained on the SDS for each product it purchases. While the
SDS is being supplied in good faith, no guarantee is made as to the accuracy or
completeness of any data or statements contained therein. Such data and
statements are offered only for Buyer's and its users' and customers'
considerations, investigation and verification.

14. EM gives no guarantees or warranties, express or implied, as to the quality,
merchantability, fitness for purpose or suitability of the products except that
the product sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall meet the relevant
EM standard specification in force at the time of loading or such other
specification or requirement which may be explicitly agreed in writing between
the parties.

Without limiting the foregoing, EM does not recommend nor endorse the use of
product(s) in any medical application and specifically disclaims any
representation or warranty, express or implied, of suitability or fitness for
use, or otherwise with respect to product(s)’ use in any medical application.
Buyer represents and warrants that no product(s) purchased hereunder will be
used in or resold into any commercial or developmental manner in connection with
medical applications without EM’s prior express written acknowledgement.
Further, Buyer agrees that it will make no representations, express or implied,
to any person to the effect that EM recommends or endorses the use of product(s)
purchased hereunder in any medical application.

EM's maximum liability for all claims for any reason is the sales price of the
product involved and EM shall not be liable for indirect or consequential
damage. Claims by Buyer are waived unless made in writing within 15 days from
date of (non-) delivery.  Buyer shall indemnify and hold EM harmless in respect
of all claims for which EM is not liable.

15. EM makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, that
the products sold hereunder, or the use of such products, or articles made
therefrom, either alone or in conjunction with other materials, will not
infringe any patent or trademark rights. Buyer agrees that it will promptly
notify EM of any claim or suit involving Buyer in which patent or trademark
infringement is alleged with respect to the products sold hereunder, and that
Buyer will permit EM, at its option and expense, to control completely the
defence or settlement of any such allegation of infringement.

16. Neither party shall be liable for any delay in performance or
non-performance caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the
party affected including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, war,
accident, explosion, breakdowns of machinery, labour disputes; inability to
obtain energy, utilities, equipment, transportation, the product deliverable
under this Agreement, or the feedstock from which the product is directly or
indirectly derived; or good faith compliance with any regulation, direction or
request (whether ultimately determined to be valid or invalid) made by
governmental authority or any person or persons purporting to act  for such an
authority.

Regardless of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any of the circumstances set
forth above, if for any reason, supplies of the product deliverable under this
Agreement or of the feedstock from which the product is directly or indirectly
derived from any of EM's then existing sources of supply are curtailed or cut
off, EM shall have the option during such period of curtailment or cessation to
apportion fairly among its customers including EM Affiliates and whether under
contract or not,  such product as may be received in the ordinary course of
business or manufactured at EM's plant.

EM shall not be obliged to purchase or otherwise obtain alternative supplies of
product deliverable under this Agreement, or the feedstock from which product
directly or indirectly is derived.  Nor shall EM be obliged to settle labour
disputes, run down inventories below normal levels, adapt or vary its
manufacturing plan except at its own sole discretion, or to take any steps other
than in accordance with good business practice to make up inadequate supplies or
to replace the supplies so curtailed or cut off.  EM shall not be obliged to
make up deliveries omitted or curtailed under this Agreement.  Any such
deficiencies in deliveries shall be cancelled with no liability to either party,
it being agreed, however, that a force majeure situation hereunder shall not
entitle either party to cancel this Agreement.

17. In case of any material breach of the terms and conditions contained in the
Agreement by one of the parties, the other party may, without giving prior
written notice or without undertaking any recourse to legal proceedings, suspend
its further performance, terminate the Agreement or require specific performance
by the other party of the Agreement in whole or in part, without prejudice to
its right to damages for any losses incurred subject to Article 14.

18. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the written consent of the
other party save in the case where such assignment is to an EM Affiliate and
prior written notice has been given to the Buyer.

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

19. EM informs Buyer that any information or data communicated by Buyer may be
subject to data processing for the purpose inter alia of enhancing services
quality, keeping accounts, and Buyer's records, invoicing, product supply. Such
information and data may be transferred, communicated to or otherwise accessed
by any EM Affiliates some of which may be located outside the territory of the
European Union. According to applicable law, Buyer has a right of access and
rectification of its personal data by sending a letter to EM.

20. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document,
neither this Agreement nor any other document shall constitute an agreement by
EM to take any action or refrain from taking any action that is in conflict
with, penalized under or compliance with which is prohibited by US law or
regulation.

21.a.  This Agreement between EM and Buyer shall be governed by the laws of
Belgium (excluding its rules on conflict of laws). Neither the Uniform Law on
the International Sale of Goods ('ULIS'), nor the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980 ('CISG') shall apply.
21.b.(i) If Buyer's registered office is located within the territory of the
European Economic Area ('EEA'), any disputes between EM and Buyer arising out of
or in relation to this Agreement shall be of the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Courts of Antwerp.
21.b.(ii) If Buyer's registered office is located outside the territory of the
EEA, any disputes arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be

product, to replacement of such products, provided that in all cases Buyer shall
be under an obligation to mitigate any loss as far as possible.  Seller shall
not in any event be liable for any special, incidental, exemplary or
consequential damages.

Buyer shall inspect and test product delivered hereunder for damage, defect or
shortage immediately upon receipt and provide Seller notice of any such damage,
defect or shortage within ten (10) days of receipt.  Any claim for shortages
must be accompanied by a certified weigh scale ticket or an independent surveyor
report, and Seller shall have an opportunity to an independent quantity
assessment.  All claims for any cause whatsoever, whether based in contract,
negligence or other tort, strict liability, breach of warranty or otherwise,
shall be deemed waived unconditionally and absolutely unless Seller receives
written notice of such claim not later than thirty (30) days after Buyer's
receipt of product as to which such claim is made.  Receipt will be deemed to
have taken place for purposes of this subparagraph when the product has been
loaded onto Buyer’s transport, or offloaded from the vessel or other means of
transport on which delivery has been made when delivery is arranged by Seller.

10.           LAYTIME AND DEMURRAGE
Buyer shall unload tank containers, cars, trucks and barges furnished by Seller
and clear products from port, or at delivery destination, within the free time
specified by tariffs or time periods on file with applicable bodies, or promptly
after receipt if no such tariffs or time periods are on file.  Buyer shall pay
charges resulting from its failure to do to Seller or directly to the common
carrier upon receipt of invoice.

For bulk marine shipment, demurrage charge at load port is for account of Seller
and at discharge port for Buyer’s account.  For other than FOB sales, laytime
allowed, demurrage rate and Charter Party applicable shall be as specified in
Seller’s vessel nomination to Buyer. If any such terms are not specified, then
the terms in Seller’s contract of affreightment with the vessel owner shall
apply.  For FOB sales, vessels nominated by Buyer are subject to Seller’s
screening, inspection and acceptance process.

11.           FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE
Failure by Seller to deliver on a specific date shall not entitle Buyer to
repudiate this Agreement.  Buyer shall not be relieved of any obligations to
accept or pay for products by reason of any delay in delivery or
dispatch.  Furthermore, no liability shall result to either party for delay in
performance or non-performance of an obligation hereunder (except an obligation
to make payment) in whole or in part caused by circumstances reasonably beyond
the control of the party affected, including but not limited to acts of God,
terrorist activity, transportation failure, breakdowns, equipment failure,
shortage or inability to obtain product or raw material for product, or
good-faith compliance with any governmental order or request (whether valid or
invalid).  Regardless, however, of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any such
circumstances, if for any reason supplies of product or feedstock for making
product, from any of Seller's existing sources are curtailed or are inadequate
to meet Seller's own requirement and/or its obligation to its customers,
Seller's obligation to deliver product during such period shall be reduced to
the extent necessary, in Seller's sole judgment, to apportion fairly among
Seller's own requirements and its customers (whether under contract or
not)  such products as received and as may be available in the ordinary and
usual course of Seller's business from any existing sources of supply at the
location(s)  from which deliveries like those covered hereby are normally
shipped.  Seller shall not be obligated to purchase or obtain product, or
feedstock to make product, to replace deliveries omitted or curtailed under this
Paragraph.
