In consideration of the extension of credit by Sellers to Applicant, and by signing the Application hereinbefore and made a part hereof,
Applicant agrees to the following terms and conditions, which terms and conditions are a part of this Application and any purchase made by
Applicant from Sellers, as follows:
1. With respect to any products and/or services ( collectively, “Products”) purchased by Applicant from Sellers, the terms and
conditions thereof shall consist of these terms together with any additions or revisions of such terms mutually agreed to in a writing signed
by Sellers and Applicant (“the Parties”). Sellers object to and shall not be bound by any additional or different terms, whether printed or
otherwise, in any purchase order or other communication from Applicant to Sellers unless specifically agreed to in a writing signed by
Sellers. This Agreement constitutes the entire, integrated agreement between the Parties related to the subject matter of this Agreement
and any subsequent purchases made by the Applicant from the Sellers, and any and all discussions, understandings, agreements,
representations, courses of dealings, customs, and usages of trade heretofore made or engaged in by the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof are merged into this Agreement which alone fully and completely expresses the Parties’ agreement. No amendments,
modifications, waivers, or termination of this Agreement can be made through the Parties’ course of dealings and no such change can be
made except in a single writing signed by both the Parties hereto. Failure by Sellers to exercise any right or remedy under the Agreement
will not be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy unless in a writing signed by Sellers, nor shall any waiver be implied from the
acceptance of any payment. No waiver by Sellers of any right shall extend to or affect any other right, nor shall a waiver by Sellers of any
breach extend to any subsequent similar or dissimilar breach. The Agreement shall be for the benefit of Sellers and Applicant and not for
the benefit of any other person. Applicant may not assign this Agreement without the express written approval of Sellers. Any provision of
this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be limited or eliminated to the minimum
extent required by that jurisdiction, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
2. This Agreement may not be modified or rescinded except by a writing signed by Sellers and Applicant. If all or part of the
contract is terminated by such modification or rescission, Applicant, in the absence of a contrary written agreement between Sellers and
Applicant, shall pay termination charges equal to Sellers’ costs associated with the contract, as determined by generally accepted
accounting principles, plus a reasonable profit on the entire contract. Cost shall include any amount Sellers must pay to its suppliers due to
any termination by Sellers of a purchase order or contract for products or services intended for Applicant.
3. Upon approval of this Application, Sellers, in their sole discretion, and notwithstanding any request of Applicant, will assign
Applicant a maximum credit line and shall have the right to increase, decrease, or terminate Applicant’s credit privileges under this
Application at any time without prior notice to Applicant, except as otherwise provided by law.
4. Payment of the purchase price for goods and/or services sold by Sellers to Applicant shall be in the amounts set forth on each
Invoice, and Applicant agrees to pay all charges in accordance with the amounts established in said Invoices. The entire outstanding
balance due to Sellers on all Invoices shall become due in full immediately upon default in the payment of any Invoice. Applicant will pay a
service charge of $50.00 or the maximum allowed by law for each check returned by Applicant’s bank.
5. Applicant shall pay the purchase price for products and services within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. In the event
Applicant fails to pay the total purchase price within the thirty (30) day period, the maximum allowable charge and/or interest of 19% shall be
applied to all past due accounts commencing from the due date of the invoice until paid. Sellers shall also be entitled, in addition to all other
remedies available at law or in equity, to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and/or other expenses in collecting the purchase price or
otherwise enforcing or defending itself in respect of this Agreement. Cash discounts do not apply to product or transportation charges. The
purchase price for the products is F.O.B. first point of shipment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Sellers reserve the right to modify or
withdraw credit terms at any time without notice and to require guarantees, security or payment in advance in the amount of sale. Sellers
may set off any amount due from Applicant to Sellers, whether or not under this Agreement, from any amounts due to Applicant. Title to and
risk of loss of the products pass to Applicant upon delivery to the carrier at the F.O.B. shipping point. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing,
title to any software associated with a product shall not pass to Applicant and, strictly to the extent permissible under any license agreement
related to such software, Applicant shall be granted a limited license to use the software in connection with the product, strictly in
accordance with the license agreement, and Applicant agrees to be bound by any license terms pertaining to software associated with a
product sold hereunder. Applicant agrees to defend and indemnify Sellers, including paying for all Sellers’ attorneys’ fees for counsel of
Sellers’ choosing, from any claims or lawsuits in which it is alleged that such license agreement was breached or all violated by reason of
the actions of Applicant and or any lawsuits, claims, actions, demands ETC from Applicant and/or any other party(ies).
6. If this Application is not approved in full or if any other adverse action is taken with respect to Applicant’s credit with Sellers,
Applicant has the right to request within 60 days of Sellers’ notification of such adverse action, a statement of specific reasons for such
action, which statement will be provided within 30 days of said request.

9. In the event Applicant orders any inventory from Sellers which Sellers produce or procures for Applicant and such inventory is
not readily saleable to other customers of Sellers, Applicant agrees to be responsible for and pay for all such custom or specially procured
inventory, notwithstanding any defenses Applicant may have as to its failure to pay for other inventory and notwithstanding Applicant’s
failure to use or sell such inventory.

Applicant hereby agrees that all funds owed to Applicant from anyone or received by Applicant, to the extent those funds result from labor or
materials supplied by Sellers, shall be held in trust for the benefit of Sellers. Applicant agrees it has no interest in Trust Funds held by
anyone and to promptly account for and pay to Sellers all such Trust Funds. Applicant irrevocably assigns to Sellers any interest it may
have in its Trust Fund account receivable. In the event trust funds are received and misapplied, Applicant and or guarantor shall be

for the product or service, unless Applicant furnishes Sellers with exemption certificates acceptable to taxing authorities. Such amount shall
be due whether or not included on the invoice.

or contributed to by circumstances beyond Selllers’ reasonable control. Sellers will in good faith endeavor to ship products or perform
services by the estimated date. Sellers shall have the right to make partial shipments. All changes in specifications or the shipping or
performance date requested by Applicant will only be effective if set forth in a writing signed by Sellers and Applicant, and where such

both, will be made. If no packaging, loading or bracing requirements are stated, Sellers will comply with minimum specifications for the
method of transportation specified. If no method of transportation is specified, shipment will be by a reasonable method of transportation
determined by Sellers in its sole discretion.
