GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE of WEIR SLURRY GROUP, INC. PRODUCTS

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, signed by Weir Slurry Group, Inc. d.b.a. as Weir Minerals North America (herein referred to as WMNA), the

following terms and conditions shall be incorporated by reference and become a part of each price quotation to a customer, each sale contract entered

into by WMNA for the sale of WMNA Products (sometimes referred to herein as "Product" or "Products"), and each repair and service contract for

WMNA Products.

QUOTATIONS; ACCEPTANCE OF OFFER:

WMNA reserves the right to change an outstanding quotation without notice. No offer to purchase submitted on behalf of a Buyer shall constitute a

contract until WMNA has acknowledged and accepted the contract at its home office in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. The terms and conditions contained

in any purchase order submitted by Buyer to WMNA shall be inapplicable to any sale contract between WMNA and Buyer. Any changes to the General

Conditions of Sale of WMNA Products must be in writing, which specifically identifies changes to the General Conditions of Sale of WMNA Products and

must be signed both by Buyer and by an authorized representative of WMNA. All sale contracts shall provide that WMNA products will be delivered to

Buyer F.O.B. at the WMNA shipping point designated in the contract. 

BASIS OF PRICE ADJUSTMENT BY WMNA:

Prices for WMNA Products quoted to a Buyer are F.O.B. WMNA's shipping point and are based upon shipment by WMNA to Buyer within six (6) months

of the contract date. If, at the request of the Buyer made after the contract is accepted by WMNA, delivery to Buyer is delayed beyond six (6) months

and, at the time of delayed delivery, WMNA's published prices have increased, then the sale price to Buyer shall be based upon the published prices in

effect at date of shipment. Also, Buyer shall reimburse WMNA for any storage and insurance costs incurred by WMNA due to delay in shipment

requested by Buyer after the contract date. Any changes in or additions to the scope of work or alterations to the Purchase Order which are initiated by

Purchaser or result from any circumstance beyond WMNA’s control and which result in additional engineering and/or production costs shall be for the

account of Purchaser and subject to additional charge. 

BASIS OF PRICE INCREASES IF CONTRACT PROVIDES FOR DELAYED SHIPMENT:

The prices for WMNA products and contracts which provide for delivery dates which are beyond six (6) months from the date of the contract shall be

subject to upward adjustment by application of the formula described below to determine the increased price. The price adjustment for WMNA products,

except the cost of auxiliary equipment, shall be determined by multiplying the total contract price times the percentage increase in the appropriate

Producer Price Index ("PPI") as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. For WMNA pumps, accessories and parts:

PPI 1141.02, Industrial Pumps; for WMNA process equipment (hydrocyclones) and valves, accessories and parts: PPI 114.0, General Purpose

Machinery. The base month shall be the month of quotation and the end month shall be the month of shipment. However, in no case shall the final

price be lower than the price specified in the contract. In addition, the prices for auxiliary equipment to be supplied by WMNA but not of WMNA

manufacture, such as "V" belt drives, electric motors, other drives, gear reducers, couplings, mechanical seals, and similar components may be adjusted

upwards based upon the price adjustments imposed upon WMNA by the manufacturer of such auxiliary equipment. 

TERMS OF PAYMENT:

Buyer shall make payment to WMNA in U.S. funds. Net payment shall be due thirty (30) days from date of shipment. Interest shall accrue and be paid

by Buyer at a rate of one percent (1%) per month on any balance not paid within such thirty (30) day period. Contracts that exceed One Hundred

amounts for work completed immediately due and payable together with interest on the amount due at the rate of one percent (1%) per month

commencing with the due date. In addition, WMNA may stop all further work and shipments until Buyer has paid all past due payments and interest to

WMNA. WMNA may require that Buyer make the payment to WMNA before shipment. If requested by WMNA, Buyer shall provide WMNA with a

payment bond or an irrevocable letter of credit acceptable to WMNA so as to assure payment of the amount due WMNA.

CANCELLATION BY BUYER; CHARGES TO BE PAID BY BUYER:	

Buyer's cancellation of a contract or a portion of a contract to buy WMNA Products is subject to a cancellation charge to be paid by Buyer to WMNA

within thirty (30) days following cancellation, in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the total contract price, plus an amount equal to the actual direct and

indirect expenses incurred by WMNA which relate to Buyer's contract order, and those expenses which WMNA will incur in the future for fulfillment of the

contract with Buyer which WMNA is unable to cancel or mitigate after being notified of cancellation by Buyer. 

TITLE TO PRODUCTS; INSURANCE:

Ownership and title to all Products shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery of Products by WMNA to a carrier for delivery of the Products to Buyer. Buyer

shall be responsible for insurance on all shipments of Products and WMNA shall not insure beyond delivery to the carrier unless specifically requested

by the Buyer and agreed to in writing by WMNA. Any such insurance provided by WMNA at Buyer's request shall be at Buyer's expense. Buyer shall

make all claims against carriers relating to the transport of WMNA Products to Buyer. 

DELIVERY TO BUYER:

The time of shipment by WMNA to Buyer, as stated in the contract, is subject to prior orders and is contingent upon prompt receipt of information and

required approvals from Buyer so as to permit WMNA to undertake final design, engineering, and production of the Products. 

FORCE MAJEURE:	

WMNA shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of delay in shipment or delivery, or failure to manufacture or failure of the equipment to

operate, due to causes beyond its reasonable control, such as, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of Buyer, acts of civil or military authority, fires,

strikes, floods, epidemics, war, riot, delays in transportation, rail car shortages, or WMNA's inability to obtain necessary labor, materials or manufacturing

facilities. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of delay. WMNA reserves

request that the dispute be submitted to mediation and conciliation which shall be conducted following the commercial mediation rules of the American
