THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE DAMAGES SET FORTH HEREIN ARE EXPRESSLY AGREED TO BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER. Delivery Shipping dates are approximate and are based upon prompt receipt of all necessary information. Purchaser agrees that seller is not responsible for late deliveries for any reason, including but not limited to (1) causes beyond Seller’s reasonable control or (2) acts of God, acts of the Purchaser, acts of civil or military authority, priorities, fires, strikes, or other labor disturbances, flood, epidemics, war, or delays in transportation or car shortages, or (3) inability on account of causes beyond its reasonable control to obtain necessary labor materials, components or manufacturing facilities, (4) or any other delay. In the event of any such delay the date of delivery or of performance shall be extended for a period to the time lost by reason on the delay. Payments Payments shall become due as specified in the terms, in the Quotation or Confirmation of Sale and Acknowledgment. In the event the terms are silent with respect to payment then payment shall be due thirty (30) days from shipment to Purchaser by Seller, F.O.B. Seller’s plant, Houston, Texas, USA. Purchaser agrees that no amounts will be deducted for late delivery. Any and all amounts due or to become due hereunder, shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or at the maximum non-usurious rate, whichever is less, from date due as set forth herein until paid. If the financial condition of the Purchaser at any time does not, in the judgement of Seller, justify continuance of the work performed by Seller hereunder on the terms of payment agreed upon. Seller may require full or partial payment in advance or shall be entitled to cancel any order than outstanding and shall receive reimbursement for its reasonable and probable cancellation charges as set forth below in the Liquidated Damages paragraph in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Purchaser, voluntarily or involuntarily, under the bankruptcy or any insolvency laws. Seller shall be entitled to cancel any order then outstanding at any time during the period allowed for filing claims against the estate and shall receive reimbursement for its reasonable and proper cancellation charges. The rights of the Seller under this paragraph are cumulative and in addition to all rights available to the Seller at law or in equity. Liquidated Damages Purchaser acknowledges that, in order to be able to fabricate and deliver the equipment in accordance with the Quotation and Confirmation of Sale and Acknowledgment, Seller must, and will be purchasing the basic “hull” of the equipment, the cost of which represents a substantial part of the total cost of the equipment, for which there will be no reasonable market, in the event of the cancellation or attempted cancellation of the contract or sale represented herein and that even with the exercise or reasonable efforts, Seller will not be able to “cover” its loss from a default or, cancellation of, this agreement by selling, or otherwise disposing of the “hull” to other persons or entities. Purchaser further acknowledges that, in the event of a default or attempted cancellation, Seller will suffer immediate and substantial damages and losses, the exact amount and extent of which will be difficult, if not impossible, to measure with certainty or precision. Accordingly, and in order to provide a reasonable compensation and remedy to Seller, in the event of a default Seller, shall be entitled to recover, and Purchaser hereby agrees to pay, liquidated damages as follows: (I) if Purchaser shall default in the performance of any of its obligations ninety (90) days or more prior to the estimated shipment date described herein, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, liquidated damages equal to seventy percent (70%) of the purchase price; (ii) if such default shall occur sixty (60) days or more, but less than ninety (90) days prior to the estimated shipping date, the Purchaser shall pay to Seller, liquidated damages equal to eighty percent (80%); (iii) if such default shall occur thirty (30) days or more, but less than sixty (60) days prior to the estimated shipping date, Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, liquidated damages equal to ninety percent (90 %) of the purchase price. Purchaser and Seller each agree that the foregoing liquidated damages constitutes a reasonable and practical agreement for attempting to compensate Seller for the losses and damages it will suffer in the event of a default hereunder. Sales and Similar Taxes Seller’s prices do not include sales, use, excise or other similar taxes. Consequently, in addition to the price specified herein, the amount of any present or future sales, use, excise or other similar tax applicable to the sale or use of the equipment hereunder shall be paid by the Purchaser, or in lieu thereof, the Purchaser shall provide Seller with a tax exempt certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities. Limitations Any action or proceeding relating to or concerning any Quotation, Purchase Order or Confirmation of Sale and Acknowledgment or any breach thereof must be commenced by Purchaser within two (2) years after the asserted claim or cause of action shall have accrued (whether or not the party asserting such claim or cause of action had any knowledge or notice thereof, and, if no action or proceeding is commenced within such two (2) year period, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all claims against Seller).
