These General Terms and the Purchase Order may be amended, modified or changed only by a written amendment signed by an authorized representative of each party. PRICE The price for the Goods shall be the price listed on the Purchase Order (“Price”). All Prices are set forth in United States Dollars. All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, and value-added taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable by Buyer or that may accrue in connection with the Purchase Order. Additionally, all prices are exclusive of costs related to shipping the Goods, including packing and preparation for export shipment, inland or ocean freight, insurance or forwarding fees, taxes, or duties of any kind or other similar charges applicable to the Goods.

QUANTITY (a) Buyer shall be obligated to purchase and accept the quantity of Goods specified in the Purchase Order. (b) Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial orders of Goods available to Buyer at the Delivery Point (as defined below). Each portion of Goods made available will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units made available whether such portion is in whole or partial fulfilment of the quantity purchased under a Purchase Order. (c) The quantity of any installment of Goods as recorded by Seller on dispatch to the Delivery Point is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer on delivery unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary. Seller shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by Seller’s negligence) unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller of the non-delivery within five (5) days of the date when the Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received. Any liability of Seller for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to delivering the Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Goods to reflect the actual quantity delivered. DELIVERY. (a) The Goods will be delivered at the time and to the location (the “Delivery Point”) specified in the Purchase Order. Buyer shall be responsible for arranging transportation of the Goods from the Delivery Point, and Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit. (b) If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to the Purchase Order or Seller’s notice that the Goods have been made available at the Delivery Point: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Seller, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, and Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).

Buyer shall not export or re-export any of Seller’s Goods: (a) for any prohibited end uses; (b) to any prohibited destinations including countries subject to United States sanctions regulations; (c) to any individuals or entities that are presently on any denied party lists; or (d) that would, if exported or re-exported by Buyer, violate United States export controls or require the issuance of a United States export license by one or more United States government agencies. Seller reserves the right to not make the Goods available to Buyer and terminate the Purchase Orders, without liability to Buyer, if Seller has a good faith basis for believing Buyer or any of its related parties has violated, or intends to violate, any country’s export or import regulations. All required permits, licenses, approvals and inspections shall be secured by Buyer, and any fees associated therewith shall be the responsibility of Buyer. Buyer represents that it is not on any United States or other country’s restricted or denied party lists. Buyer shall release, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller for any Buyer failure or refusal to comply with the provisions of this Section or for Buyer’s breach of any other applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, requirements, standards, rules and orders (“Applicable Laws”). TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer upon delivery of the Goods at the stated Delivery Point. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Goods, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the Texas Uniform Commercial Code. INSPECTION AND REJECTION OF NONCONFORMING GOODS (a) Buyer shall inspect the Goods within five (5) days of receipt (“Inspection Period”). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such documentation of nonconformance as reasonably required by Seller. “Nonconforming Goods” means only that the product received is different than identified in the applicable Purchase Order. (b) If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion: (i) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods and make them available to Buyer pursuant to Section 5; or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to the Seller facility instructed by Seller. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense and risk of loss, the replacement Goods to the Delivery Point. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods. Except as provided under this Section, all sales of Goods to Buyer are made on a one-way basis and Buyer has no right to return Goods purchased under a Purchase Order to Seller. WARRANTIES (a) Seller warrants to Buyer (and not to any of Buyer’s successors in interest or title) that for a period of six (6) months from the date of shipment of Goods (“Warranty Period”), such Goods will materially conform to the specifications set forth in the applicable Purchase Order and will be free from material defects in material and workmanship. (b) Seller shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty set forth in Section 9(a) if: (i) Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice of the alleged breach to Seller as described in Section 9(c); (ii) the defect arises because Buyer failed to follow Seller’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use, handling, operation, maintenance, or overhaul of the Goods; (iii) Buyer alters, modifies or repairs such Goods without the prior written consent of Seller; or (iv) the Goods have been subject to any accident, misuse, neglect, or negligence after delivery to Buyer. This warranty shall not apply to any Goods to the extent that the defect or non-conformity is attributable to any part not supplied by or approved by Seller. (c) Seller shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty set forth in Section 9(a) unless: (i) Buyer gives written notice of the defect, reasonably described, to Seller within ten (10) days after the time when Buyer discovers or ought to have reasonably discovered the defect; (ii) Seller is given a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice to examine such Goods and Buyer (if requested to do so by Seller) returns such Goods to Seller’s place of business for examination; and (iii) Seller reasonably verifies Buyer’s claim that the Goods are defective. Buyer will be responsible for round-trip transportation costs to and from Seller’s facility for any defective or non-conforming Goods returned to Seller and any replacement Goods. Seller’s obligations under these warranties are conditioned on Buyer maintaining records that accurately reflect maintenance performed on the Goods and establish the nature of any unsatisfactory condition of the Goods. Seller, at its request, shall be given access to such records for substantiating warranty claims. (d) Subject to Section 9(b) and 9(c) above, with respect to any defective or non-conforming Goods during the Warranty Period, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, either: (i) repair or replace such Goods (or the defective part); or (ii) credit or refund the price of such Goods. In the case of any Goods (or part thereof) repaired or replaced by Seller, the Warranty Period shall remain in effect for the remainder of the Warranty Period or for three (3) months from the date of shipment of the repaired or replaced Goods, whichever is longer. (e) THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 9(d) SHALL BE BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND SELLER’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 9(a). (f) EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 9(a) AND 9(d), SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE GOODS, INCLUDING ANY (i) WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY; (ii) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; OR (iii) WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY; WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE. (g) Products manufactured by a third party (“Third-Party Product”) may constitute, contain, or be contained in, incorporated into, attached to or packaged together with, the Goods. Third-Party Products are not covered by the warranty in Section 9(a). Parts or components not manufactured Seller shall be in accordance with and subject to the standard warranty provisions of the manufacturer or supplier thereof, which warranty constitutes the sole obligation of Seller and the sole remedy of Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY (i) WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY; (ii) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (iii) WARRANTY OF TITLE; OR (iv) WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY; WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE.

(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A PURCHASE ORDER, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE PRICE PAID TO SELLER FOR THE GOOD OR PART THEREOF WHICH GIVES RISE TO THE CLAIM; PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PAY IN FULL THE PRICE FOR THE GOODS.
