Terms and Conditions

1. PAYMENTS.

Unless otherwise agreed to by Continental Steel and Tube Co. (CS&T) in writing, all amounts
payable hereunder shall be due to CS&T within the period of time mutually agreed by and between CS&T and
its Customer, time being of the essence. Late payments shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum or
the highest rate permitted by law; whichever is less. Unless otherwise stipulated, customer shall pay all
expenses including taxes, insurance, freight, carriage, and warehousing if applicable.

All prices quoted are subject to change without notice and are exclusive of taxes.
Customer is responsible to pay all taxes resulting from transactions, including without limitation occupation,
property, excise, sales, or use tax, but excluding any taxes due on the income of CS&T. If the shipment is
delayed by thirty (30) days or more beyond the scheduled shipment date and such delay is caused in whole or
in part by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of CS&T as provided in paragraph 10, the purchase
price including applicable taxes, shall be subject to increase based on CS&T’s established price on the actual
date of the shipment.

discretion at the customer’s expense and risk. This event shall constitute delivery to the Customer

financed by CS&T, CS&T may declare all amounts due upon shipment as immediately due for
payment, or, if, any amounts are financed by CS&T, CS&T may declare the monthly installment
payments to commence thirty (30) days from the date of such shipment to the warehouse or

separately. Each partial shipment will be deemed to be a separate sale. However a delay in delivery
of any partial shipment will not relieve Customer of its obligation to accept delivery of remaining
shipments. CS&T’s shipping weights will govern for each shipment or partial shipment. Should
Customer dispute the shipping weight of any shipment or partial shipment, the Customer will
promptly notify CS&T in writing and provide certifiable documentation in the form of light and heavy
truck scale tickets from a certified public scale to substantiate their weight difference dispute.

component parts are placed in the possession of the carrier for shipment to the Customer. Customer shall
provide insurance to be for no less than the total amount owing to Continental Steel and Tube Co. with loss
first payable to CS&T.

warranty, or, at CS&T’s option, to the return of the goods and refund of moneys paid thereon, without
interest, provided Customer is not in default hereunder. IN NO EVENT SHALL CS&T BE LIABLE FOR

and option, shall be entitled to retain all money paid by Customer on account as liquidated damages. If
Customer fails to make any payments when due, or if there is a breach of any covenant or agreement by
Customer, or if CS&T deems itself insecure, then Customer shall be deemed in default and CS&T shall have, at
its option, the right to take immediate possession of the goods and/or declare all unpaid amounts immediately
due and payable and/or suspend shipments to Customer. CS&T shall be entitled to set off any amount owed
by Customer or any of Customer’s related entitles against any amount payable to CS&T in connection with any
unpaid moneys due to CS&T. CS&T shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code in addition to all other rights as established herein, which rights and remedies shall
be cumulative. Waiver by CS&T of any breach or default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent
breach or default.

production of goods for Customer will be and remain CS&T’s possession and control and any

materials, CS&T may, by written notice to Customer, request Customer to make disposition thereof
at Customer’s expense. If Customer fails to comply with such notice, CS&T may make such use or
disposition of said material or equipment as it desires, without liability or obligation to Customer.
