SALES CONTRACT AND LIMITATIONS The entire agreement between Buyer and Seller (herein called the "Sales Contract") with respect to the goods and/or services described in Seller's proposal or acknowledgment, as the case may be, shall consist of the terms appearing herein and in Seller's proposal or acknowledgment, such terms being additions to or modifications of Seller's Terms mutually agreed upon in writing by Seller and Buyer. Buyer's right to accept any offer from Seller, or acceptance by Seller of any offer from Buyer is made expressly conditional on Buyer's assent to any of Seller's Terms which are additional to and/or different from any terms contained in Buyer's request for proposal, Buyer's purchase order, or any other communication from Buyer to Seller. Acceptance by Buyer of any offer from Seller is also expressly limited to Seller's Terms, and Seller hereby objects to and shall not be bound by any additional, different or conflicting terms, whether printed or otherwise, in Buyer's request for proposal, Buyer's purchase order, or in any other communication from Buyer to Seller, it being understood that Seller's Terms shall prevail notwithstanding any such additional, different or conflicting terms. In the event of any conflict between the terms appearing herein and the terms appearing in Seller's proposal or acknowledgment, the terms appearing in the latter shall prevail. In the event of any conflict between the terms appearing in Seller's proposal and the terms appearing in Seller's acknowledgment, the latter shall prevail. No modification or waiver of Seller's Terms is valid, unless confirmed in writing by an authorized representative of Seller. The Sales Contract shall only be for the benefit of Buyer and Seller, and not for the benefit of any other person, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Seller's subcontractors. 2. CANCELLATION Buyer may not cancel this order, or any portion thereof, except upon written notice to Seller and upon payment to Seller of the cancellation charges specified below. Buyer acknowledges that such charges have been agreed upon, not as a penalty, but as a result of the difficulty of computing actual damages and the inconvenience and non-feasibility of Seller otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. Such cancellation charges are as follows: Cancellation Notice Received Prior to Scheduled Delivery Cancellation Charges (Percentage of Sales Price of Goods and/or Services) Less than 60 days 60 days or more 35% 20% Buyer may not cancel any order, or portion thereof, after shipment. Buyer may not reschedule or change any order, or portion thereof, without Seller's prior written consent. 3.

Pro rata payments shall become due as shipments are made. Seller may require, in advance of shipment, full or partial payment or payment guarantee, whenever, in its opinion, the financial condition of Buyer so warrants. In the event of Buyer's bankruptcy or insolvency, or in the event any proceeding is brought against Buyer, voluntarily or involuntarily, under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws, Seller may cancel any order then outstanding at any time during the period allowed for filing claims against the estate, and shall be paid the cancellation charges specified in Section 2.
