All Purchase Orders must be in writing. Seller’s acceptance of Buyer’s Purchase Order is expressly made
conditional on Buyer’s accepting the following terms and conditions of sale, which are in lieu and substitution of any and all additional or different terms
contained in Buyer’s Purchase Order or other document or communication pertaining to Buyer’s Order of Goods. Buyer’s consent to the terms and
conditions contained herein shall be conclusively presumed from Buyer’s acceptance of all or any part of the Goods or from payment by Buyer for all or
any part of the Goods. None of these terms and conditions may be added to, modified, superseded, or otherwise altered, except by a written instrument
signed by an authorized executive of Seller. Failure of Seller to object to any terms or conditions which may be contained in any document of form of
Buyer, including Buyer’s Purchase Order, shall not be construed as a waiver of the foregoing conditions, nor as an acceptance of any other terms or
conditions. The Seller reserves the right to change any provision of this Agreement at any time, without prior notice, which changes shall not affect any pending
Sales Orders. This Agreement does not create a distribution relationship or contract, exclusive or otherwise, nor will such a relationship or contract be inferred
from any course of dealing between the Seller and Buyer or any of Seller’s other customers who/which purchase Goods subject to this Agreement. The Seller and
Buyer and any other customer of Seller who/which purchases Goods from Seller are each free without penalty to cease doing business with the other at any time,
for any reason whatsoever and without notice, unless otherwise provided in a separate, written contract signed by an executive of the Seller and of the particular
Buyer. Such cessation of the business relationship between the Seller and the Buyer does not terminate or otherwise cancel any then pending Sales Order.
ORDER ENTRY & CREDIT – Purchase Orders are normally placed through the Seller’s customer service center or a sales representative of Seller. A Purchase
Order shall become effective only upon the date of acceptance of Buyer’s order on Seller’s Sales Order form or upon the date the goods are shipped, whichever
occurs first. All Purchase Orders to be placed on credit are subject to the review and approval of the Seller’s credit department. The Seller reserves the right to
select its own customers. All Buyers must periodically complete and update, as required by Seller, a credit application form prepared by the Seller, and all Buyers
agree to adhere to the terms and conditions stated in such application of which this Agreement is a part thereof. The Seller reserves the right to reject any
Purchase Order if it, in its sole discretion, deems the financial responsibility or condition of the Buyer placing any Purchase Order to be unsatisfactory.
4. PRICING – All pricing is subject to Seller approval. All Goods will be invoiced at the price in effect on the date of shipment. The Seller reserves the right to
adjust current pricing to meet competition, but all price exception requests much be approved in writing prior to the shipment of Goods. The Seller reserves the
right to cancel or remove price adjustments or exceptions which may have previously been made to meet a competitive offer, when in its judgment it becomes
necessary or prudent to do so, or if the competitive situation no longer exists. ALL PRICING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. An effort will
be made, however, to provide sufficient lead-time to the Buyers before a price is changed. Shipments made on or after the date of a price change will be invoiced at the new price.
5. TAXES – The quoted purchase price may be increased to the extent that Seller’s cost of the Goods sold hereunder may be increased as a result of: (1) any
agreements, codes, or legislative enactments made or enacted pursuant to federal, state or municipal legislation; and (2) increase in the cost of labor or raw
materials. In addition to paying the quoted purchase price, Buyer is solely liable and responsible for any and all excises, levies or taxes which Seller may be
required to pay or collect, under any existing or future law, upon or with respect to the sale, purchase, delivery, storage, processing, use, consumption or
transportation of any of the Goods covered hereby, and Buyer agrees to pay the amount thereof on the same terms and conditions as it shall pay the quoted
purchase price.
6. PAYMENT - Payment terms will be as stated on the face of each individual invoice, and cash discounts, if any, will be allowed only if taken within the time
stated thereon, which shall be calculated from the invoice date. Invoice date is the same as the date of shipment. Payments not received by the net due date will
be considered past due and could result in a suspension or cancellation of other shipments of Goods. Seller reserves the right to charge FINANCE CHARGES of
1½% per month (18% APR), compounded, if payment of invoice is not received by the due date as designated on the invoice. In the event of default, Buyer agrees to pay all Finance Charges, court costs, and costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees. Payment shall be made: (a) in full

(30) day of date of invoice.
7. REVISIONS/CANCELLATIONS – The customer service center must handle revisions or cancellation of Sales Orders. Written notification must be received 48
hours in advance of scheduled ship date, otherwise the Buyer will be held responsible for full payment. Upon such cancellation, Seller shall cease work and hold for Buyer all completed and partially completed Goods in progress and Buyer shall pay Seller: (1) for all work and materials that have been committed to and/or
identified to Buyer’s order plus (2) a cancellation charge as prescribed by Seller; and (3) a reasonable profit to Seller on the entire contract.

cannot ensure a specified time of day for delivery. The Seller will not be responsible for any failure or delay of delivery or other performance due to fire, flood,
windstorms, weather-related closures, labor difficulties, plant or equipment breakdowns, riots or civil commotions, explosions, war or due to any other cause or
causes beyond its control, including, but not limited to, those additionally listed in Sections 16 and 20 of this Agreement.
12. RETURNS – Requests to return Goods must be approved in advance, in writing, by the Seller. If the reason for the return is other than a timely claim under the
Seller’s Limited Warranty for the product, a 25% restocking fee will be assessed, and the Buyer must pay both the original outbound freight and the return freight
and all handling charges. Any return of Goods is also subject to inspection and final acceptance at Seller’s plant. Any authorized credit adjustments will apply
only if the Goods are returned in the same condition as when those particular Goods were shipped. No credit will be given for unauthorized returns, opened
packaging, or partial packages.
SHORTAGE/OVERAGE OR DAMAGE CLAIMS – The Seller ships all Goods under “Shipper Load & Count.” The Buyer must immediately report shortage,
overage or damage to the Seller BEFORE the Carrier leaves the delivery site. The Seller will review all production and loading records before the Carrier leaves
the site. Both the Buyer and Carrier must document the discrepancy or damage on the Bill of Lading and sign accordingly in the appropriate space. AT NO

conditions apply:
a. Buyer must hold the Goods and all packaging material for the Carrier’s inspection.
b. The Carrier must be notified, and inspection requested within fifteen (15) working days from the date of delivery. Failure to do so voids all claim
rights.
c. If Goods are moved from point of delivery before Carrier’s inspection, claim rights are void.

otherwise, without the Carrier’s or Seller’s prior written approval.

immediately notify Seller’s customer service center of any such claim(s). Delivery claims will NOT be allowed for conditions outside of Seller’s control.
Additionally, delivery claims will not be accepted where full completion of Bill of Lading is not performed. Delivery claims will be limited ONLY to the value of
the line haul rate as quoted by Carrier to Seller.
LIMITED WARRANTY – Goods manufactured and sold by Seller are warranted to Buyer to be free from only defects in materials and workmanship at the time of shipment. The foregoing warranty is Seller’s sole and only warranty with respect to the Goods.

There are no warranties, express or implied, which extend beyond the description on the face hereof. Goods manufactured and sold by Seller to Buyer are “As-Is”. Seller shall not be liable
for incidental or consequential damages, directly or indirectly sustained, nor for any loss (i) caused by application of Goods not in accordance with current printed instructions or (ii) for uses other than those intended by the Seller.

Seller’s liability is
expressly limited to the replacement of defective Goods or, at the Seller’s option, to a payment or credit not greater than the original purchase price of the Goods.

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – Seller’s liability to Buyer, whether in contract, tort, under any warranty, in negligence, strict liability or otherwise, shall not
exceed, in any case, the return of the amount of the purchase price paid by Buyer and under no circumstance shall Seller be liable for special, indirect or
consequential damages. The terms and conditions stated herein, and the price paid for the Goods is consideration for limiting Seller’s liability. No action,
regardless of form, arising out of the transactions under Buyer’s Purchase Order, Seller’s Sales Order, Seller’s invoice or this agreement may be brought by Buyer
more than one (1) year after the date of Seller’s invoice. Without limiting of the foregoing, in no event will Seller be responsible or liable for (1) any penalty of
