7. DELIVERY: Promises of delivery from stock are subject to prior sale.

8. RISK OF LOSS: Buyer assumes all risk of loss of such goods upon delivery by Seller to carrier.

9. LIMITED WARRANTIES: Seller warrants that the goods to be delivered hereunder
will be of the kind designated on the other side hereof and free from defects of material and workmanship. SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IN PARTICULAR, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION IF THE GOODS ARE MADE ACCORDING TO
BUYER’S SPECIFICATIONS, SELER DOES NOT WARRANT THE ADEQUACY OF SUCH SPECIFICATIONS OR THAT OR THAT THE GOODS WILL PERFORM IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH SPECIFICATIONS. Seller’s sole obligation under

the foregoing warranties will be limited to either, at the Seller’s option, replacing or repairing defective goods or refunding the purchase price for such goods therefore paid by Buyer, and Buyer’s exclusive remedy for breach of any such warranties will be enforcement of such obligation of Seller. These warranties will not extend to goods subjected to misuses, neglect, accident, improper storage or improper installation or maintenance or which have been altered or repaired by anyone other than Seller or its authorized representative. Seller shall not be liable on any claim for defective goods
which is not made within 30 days after such goods have been received by Buyer.

10. REMEDIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY: In the event Buyer claims Seller has breached any of its obligations under the contract, whether of warranty or otherwise, Seller may request return of the goods and tender to Buyer the purchase price therefore paid by Buyer, and, in such event, Seller shall have no further obligation under the contract except to refund such purchase price upon redelivery of the goods. No goods may be returned without Seller’s written request. If Seller requests the return of the goods, the goods will be redelivered to Seller at Seller’s expense by the lowest cost mode of transportation unless otherwise authorized in writing by Seller. In the event Buyer claims Seller has breached any of its obligations under the contract, whether of warranty or otherwise, and Seller has not delivered any goods to Buyer, Seller may tender to Buyer the purchase Price therefore paid by Buyer, and, in such event, Seller shall have no further obligation under the contract except to refund such purchase price therefore paid by Buyer. The remedies contained in this and the preceding paragraph shall constitute the sole recourse of Buyer against Seller for
breach of any Seller’s obligations under the contract whether warranty or otherwise. In no event shall Seller be liable for indirect or consequential damages nor shall Seller’s liability on any claim for damages arising out of or connected with the contract or the manufacture, sale, delivery or use or the goods exceed the purchase price of the goods therefore paid by the Buyer to Seller. Seller shall not be liable for failure to perform its obligations under the contract resulting directly or indirectly from circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control.

11. PATENTS: Seller shall hold Buyer harmless against any rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement of any United States Letters Patent by such of the goods as are of Seller’s own manufacture, but, if Buyer furnishes specifications to Seller, Buyer shall hold Seller harmless against any such claims which arise out of compliance with the specifications. Seller’s agreement to hold Buyer harmless shall not apply to any infringement consisting of the use of goods manufactured by Seller as a part of any combination with goods manufactured by others. In the event that any goods manufactured by Seller are in any suit held to constitute infringement and their use is enjoined. Seller, if unable within a reasonable time to secure for Buyer the right to continue using such goods, either by suspension of the injunction, by securing for Buyer a license or otherwise, shall, at its own expense, either replace such goods with non-infringing goods or modify such goods so that they become non-infringing, or accept the return of the enjoined goods and refund the purchase price theretofore paid thereof. Except as in this paragraph provide, Seller makes no warranty that the goods will be delivered free of the rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement or the like.

12. TOOLING: Buyer’s tools, molds and dies (“tooling”) in the possession of Seller are at the risk of Buyer, and Seller does not undertake to insure such property. Seller may dispose of any tooling at any time after one year of completion of the most recent production order requiring the use of such tooling, and Seller shall not be liable for the continued retention or availability of any such tooling after the expiration of such period. If Buyer requests Seller to deliver tooling to Buyer, Buyer will pay Seller an engineering charge of 40% of the cost of such tooling except that if, in the judgment of Seller, such tooling includes Seller’s proprietary ideas or devices, Seller may refund to Buyer any price of the tooling paid by Buyer rather than surrender the same.

13. INSERTS: Prices are based on Buyer supplying all inserts unless otherwise stated in the contract. Practical production loss of inserts may be redetermined after first production run. If requested, scrap inserts will be returned or salvaged at Buyer’s expense.

14. GOVERNING LAW: The formation and performance of the contract shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of Arkansas. Any action for breach of the contract, including any breach of warranty, must be commenced within one year after the cause of action has accrued.

15. CHANGES: Changes in the work to be performed hereunder may be made only if Buyer submits written instructions for such changes and if Seller accepts those changes in writing. If any such approved changes in drawings, materials, quantities, dates of performance or design of the parts units, tooling or fixtures, in Seller’s sole judgment, increase Seller’s costs, Seller may condition approval of any such changes of agreement by Buyer to a price increase to recoup such cost increase, plus a reasonable return.
