DELAY BY PURCHASER If shipments of parts are delayed by the Purchaser, date of completion of the parts shall be considered as the date of shipment insofar as payments are concerned. Products held for the Purchaser because of such delay in delivery or manufacture shall be at the risk and expense of the Purchaser. 7. EXCUSABLE DELAYS Orders are accepted subject to delays occasioned by acts of God, accidents, strikes or other labor disturbances, flood, fires, war, riot, delays in transportation, acts of civil or military authority, governmental priorities or other causes beyond the control of Lakeview Forge. 8. TAXES In addition to the prices herein stated, Purchaser agrees to pay or to reimburse Lakeview Forge, at Purchaser’s option, for any and all sales, use, excise, value added or other taxes or charges which may be imposed by any public authority as a result of the sale, manufacture, transportation or delivery of the parts covered by this Quotation. 9. PAYMENTS Purchaser shall pay the purchase price, all applicable taxes, freight charges, and all other applicable charges in full, in U.S. Dollars, without any deduction for claims, set-offs or recoupment on account or any other matter between the parties within the time periods set forth below in Section 15 below. If, in the exclusive judgment of Lakeview Forge the financial condition of the Purchaser at any time does not justify the commencement or continuance of production or shipment on the terms specified herein, Lakeview Forge may, in addition to all other remedies it may have at law or in equity, make a written demand for full or partial payment in advance, suspend its performance until such payment is made and cancel the Purchaser’s order if such payment is not received by Lakeview Forge within thirty (30) days after delivery in person or mailing of said demand by Lakeview Forge. Purchaser hereby grants to Lakeview Forge a security interest in the goods until all monies due Lakeview Forge are paid in full. Lakeview Forge shall have the right to file financing statements and any other documents that may be necessary to evidence and perfect such a security interest in the goods in any jurisdiction. 10. BASIS OF PRICES Prices are only for the quantities indicated for production and shipment in one lot or as near thereto as Lakeview Forge’s production makes possible. Additions of material for machine finishes will be made only where specified by the Purchaser. Unit selling price is subject to material and/or energy surcharge at time of shipment. 11. PREPARATION CHARGES Preparation charges for tooling only cover a portion of the cost for the initial production of the forgings and therefore, the payment of such charges does not convey any title or right of possession to Purchaser. Payment does convey to the Purchaser, the rights to the exclusive use of such tools and to their preservation by Lakeview Forge for two (2) years after the date of the last order requiring their use. In the event that preparation charges are amortized over a period of time on a per part basis, if Purchaser does not purchase a sufficient number of parts to fully pay the preparation charges, Purchaser is required to pay the balance due of the preparation charges upon demand by Lakeview Forge. If tooling is inactive for two (2) years, it will then be to the discretion of Lakeview Forge to disposition the tooling. Storage charges may accrue on inactive tooling. Preparation charges are based on the initial quantity, rate of delivery, and particular design specified in this Quotation. The charges for any change either in the rate of delivery or in design will be quoted by Lakeview Forge upon request. Since preparation charges only cover a portion of the cost for the initial production of the forgings, Lakeview Forge reserves the right to charge Purchaser an Engineering charge in order to release the tooling to Purchaser. 12. SURFACES AND TOLERANCES Unless otherwise specified in this Quotation, forgings will be furnished with a natural drop-forging surface without machine work and within the tolerances for quantity, size and shape as specified in “Guideline Tolerances for Hot Forged Impression Die Forgings Hammer, Press & Upsetter” as adopted by the Forging Industry Association, Reissued June 1999. A copy of these tolerances will be furnished to the Purchaser without charge upon application to Lakeview Forge. 13.
