further work and shipments until payment is made. If requested Buyer
shall provide a payment bond or irrevocable letter of credit in a form
acceptable to WEIR to assure payment.
4. CREDIT: All sales, unless for cash in advance or C.O.D. are subject to
approval by WEIR's credit department. If in WEIRs opinion the credit of
the Buyer becomes unsatisfactory prior to delivery, WEIR may defer
delivery until Buyers credit improves, or, cancel the contract with no
liability. In the event the Buyers business is incorporated after the date of
its credit application, the proprietor, or all partners of the business,
agree(s) that he/they will remain personally liable for the payment of the
account unless a new credit application is submitted for the corporation
and the new credit application is approved by WEIR. When Buyer does not
pay in full upon delivery it is buying the goods on credit and is a debtor of
WEIR. In such cases Buyer authorizes WEIR to prepare and/or file and/or
add additional information as it becomes available (which WEIR in its sole
discretion may deem necessary to create and perfect a security interest)
including but not limited to a security agreement, initial financing
statement, initial financing statement in lieu of a continuation statement,
amendments, and continuation statements, by any means authorized by
law, whether such law is currently in effect or becomes effective after the
execution of this agreement, including electronic filing. Buyer understands
and agrees that by signing, it has authenticated this agreement as a
record and authorizes WEIR to (1) prepare and file such record(s) without
the signature of Buyer, (2) file such writing bearing any general, generic or
super-generic description of the collateral authorized by the applicable
code and (3) file any future records, which shall be deemed authenticated
(as defined in the applicable commercial code) by Buyer.
5. PRODUCTION: Production of all items will be at times and in lots and
quantities most convenient to the manufacturing process, with shipments
to be as noted on the purchase order.
6. CHANGES: WEIR shall not implement any changes in the scope of work
unless Buyer and Seller first agree in writing to the details of the change
and any resulting price, schedule or other contractual modifications. Any
change to any law, rule, regulation, order, code, standard or requirement
which requires any change hereunder shall entitle Seller to an equitable
adjustment in the prices and any time of performance.

7. CANCELLATION: Buyer's cancellation, in whole or in part, shall be


subject to a cancellation charge in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the
total contract price, plus an amount equal to the direct expenses and
indirect damages incurred by WEIR as a result of the cancellation. Buyer
shall pay the cancellation charge within thirty (30) days of notice of
cancellation.
8. FORCE MAJEURE: WEIR shall not be responsible for any delay or
failure to make delivery which is occasioned by causes beyond its control,
including but not limited to fires, floods, strikes, labor disputes, accident,
embargoes, sanctions, delays or interruptions of transportation, material
or labor shortages, failure to obtain delivery from manufacturers or
subcontractors, or by any ruling, action, regulation, or law of any
governmental bureau or agency. Delays shall not release the Buyer from
its obligation to accept and pay for goods.
9. DELIVERY, TITLE, and RISK OF LOSS: Delivery shall be at WEIRs
shipping point. Title to goods shall remain vested in WEIR and shall not
pass to Buyer until the purchase price for the goods has been paid in full
and received by WEIR. Risk of loss, however, shall pass to Buyer upon
delivery. Buyer shall pay for all storage and insurance costs if delivery is
deferred at its request. Buyer shall be responsible for insurance on all
shipments of Products and WEIR shall not insure beyond delivery unless

prior orders and is contingent upon prompt receipt of information and
required approvals from Buyer so as to permit WEIR to undertake final
design, engineering, and production of the Products. WEIR reserves the
right to make delivery of and invoice any orders either as a whole or
progressively and to affect delivery at its convenience at any time within
the period scheduled by WEIR for the delivery of the order.

services in a competent and diligent manner in accordance with any
agreed specifications.

warranty for services shall be for three (3) months from the time of
service (Warranty Period);
