behalf. You are responsible for obtaining permits in connection with the sale or installation of our equipment.
16. Our proposal includes the equipment we offer to furnish you at the prices stated and these prices will remain firm when you execute our proposal (or send us
your purchase order referencing our proposal) within 30 days from the date of our proposal and we receive the final approved drawings within 30 days after we
mail the shop drawing booklets. The price could change if you should require a change in the design of the product or require changes in the components we
have quoted. We will issue the necessary change orders to either decrease or increase the price and said change orders will be deemed accepted and assented to
you if within a reasonable time the terms of the change order have not been objected to in writing by you to us, it being agreed upon that a reasonable time for

on certain terms and conditions so there will be no misunderstanding at a later date, therefore you and our company agree to the following such Terms and
Conditions:
(a) We will retain title to and a secured interest in the equipment described in the proposal until we are paid in full. You and our company agree and it is our
mutual intention that the equipment proposed and described in our quote is now and shall retain personal property and shall not become a fixture or part of
a fixture until we have been paid in full. In effect, you and our company are agreeing to waive any other possible definition of the equipment so proposed
and described for the purpose of this credit transaction that would invalidate your and our stated intention, and so that no unfair advantage will be gained by
any third person or entity should our company not be paid for any reason.

QUOTATION/PROPOSAL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Payment, subject to continuing approval of credit, is due in full and payable 30 days from the date of invoice or date of shipment, which ever comes first
unless startup service is required prior to the expiration of the 30 days in which case payment is due in full prior to startup, with no retainage allowed! Our
company will invoice you, as the equipment you ordered is ready to be shipped, which may be within the estimated shipment period quoted to you or after
such period. You agree to pay in full all invoices within the time specified above in this sub-paragraph. Your payment to us will not be dependent or
contingent upon receipt of payment by you from any other party. Any balance remaining due 31 days beyond the invoice date will be subject to a 1.5
percent monthly service fee until paid. Should we have to engage an attorney to collect the balance due us, including the service fee, you agree to
reimburse us for all collection costs including reasonable attorney'’ fees.
(c) Once manufacture of the equipment has begun, you will be notified of the tentative shipment date. Once the equipment is ready to be shipped, we or the
manufacturer may, at our option, agree to store the equipment should you not be ready for delivery, but this will not postpone your duty to pay the
invoice(s) as they become due according to the terms of this contract. Should our company find it necessary to store such equipment for said reason you
hereby agree to pay a storage fee at the rate of 1.5% of the contract price per month in addition to your duty to pay invoice(s). Please note that your return
of the final approved drawings will constitute your notice to us to proceed with the manufacturing of the equipment.
(d) Our company will not be liable for any damages sustained by you resulting from our company’s or any supplier’s failure to perform or delay in performing
any obligation, if such failure(s) or delay(s) is/are caused directly or indirectly by circumstances or events beyond our control. Some examples include
invasion, insurrection, riot, fire, flooding, strikes, etc. A more common example of such circumstances of events would be the failure of a truck or supplier
to meet delivery schedules. You agree to waive any right to incidental or consequential damages as stated in our company’s warranty, and as further
agreed herein. You further agree that our company will not be responsible for any “backcharges” or costs unless and until you first obtain our company'’
written approval before you sustain such “backcharges” or costs.
(e) You agree that if our equipment is installed or repaired by others, you will not seek to hold us responsible for any damage and injury, which may result
from such installation or repair, directly or indirectly. In addition, our company will not be responsible for damage to your property or any other property,
real or personal, caused by malfunction of our equipment whether or not it is installed by others or by our company.
(f) In order for our company to insure delivery, it is agreed by you and by our company that you provide us with an access road to and from the job site, which
road is capable of supporting trucks loaded to 75,000 pounds and with a 14 foot height clearance. Should the job site or such road not be suitable for such
use and our purposes, you will reimburse us for any delays at the hourly labor rate and demurrage rate current at that time. You will also be responsible for
unloading the equipment, unless we are responsible for the erection of the equipment.
(g) The responsibility for protection of the equipment will be yours after it is delivered to the job site. Damage to the equipment after delivery, which is caused
by vandalism, the elements or otherwise will be your responsibility and not that of our company.
(h) For your added protection, we are providing you with a warranty on our equipment which is made part of our proposal, and which is made a part of this
agreement by reference.
(i) Except as otherwise contained in the Quotation, this Contract after acceptance by you is not subject to cancellation by Buyer except prior to shipment and
then only by the payment to us an amount equal to the cost of labor and materials used plus 10% of quoted sales price as liquidating damages, which the
Buyer hereby agrees to pay. Orders for custom equipment (non-standard or non-stocked equipment), or designed equipment are not cancelable by you.
(j) We both agree that this contract contains the complete and final agreement between us and may not be modified, supplemented, explained, or waived by
parole evidence, your purchase order, course of dealing, or any other way, except where made in writing and signed by you and our company’s authorized
officer.
18. Since we will close this agreement upon acceptance of it by our Contract’s Officer in Ames, Iowa, it is understood by you and our company that the laws of the State of
Iowa will govern the Contract. Default and our remedies thereafter are defined and outlined below.
You shall be in default under the contract upon the happening of any one or more of the following:
(a) Default in the payment or performance of any obligation you have under this contract; or
(b) Any statement of a material fact, made in writing by you to our company, which proves to be untrue; or
(c) Any omission, from any statement made in writing by you to our company, of any material fact which is necessary in order to make such statements not
misleading; or
(d) Any event, or change of condition, which impairs your ability to pay or perform your obligation under this contract; or
(e) Any event or condition which reasonably justifies our company in deeming itself insecure.
Upon default by you, and at any time thereafter, our company shall have, at its option, the right to exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Prior to delivery of the equipment described in this Contract, to refuse to deliver such equipment to you or your agent; or
(b) Exercise any remedy available to our company under the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other laws of the jurisdiction where such remedy is
sought to be exercised; or
(c) Enter the real estate upon which such equipment is stored or installed and take possession of such equipment and remove the same, without demand and
other legal process; or
(d) Demand that you shall assemble such equipment and make it available to our company at a place reasonable convenient to you and our company and
thereupon you shall comply with such demand at your expense; or
(e) Retain all sums received by our company as payment from you made prior to any repossession referred to in subparagraph (c) above; or
(f) Void all warranties and refuse service and start-up; or
(g) Sell such equipment at public or private sale, with our without notice, at a fair price.
