Terms & Conditions
NEC Canada, Inc.
In the terms and conditions below the "Terms", NEC Canada, Inc. shall be referred to as "NEC" and the purchaser shall be referred to as the
Purchaser. The sale of the products listed on the face hereof is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Terms or of the formal
written agreement between NEC and the Purchaser. Any proposal for additional or different terms or any attempt by the Purchaser to vary,
in any degree, the Terms, in the Purchaser’s acceptance, will be deemed material and are hereby objected to and rejected. However, such
additional or different terms shall not operate as a rejection of the Terms, unless such additional and different terms contain variances
in terms description, quantity, price, or delivery schedule for the goods. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by NEC in writing, the Terms
will be deemed accepted by the Purchaser as set forth herein
Payment
Payment for the Purchaser of the Product hereunder shall be due net thirty (30) days from delivery date when not superseded by an existing
agreement. Delivery of Products shall be deemed to take place upon the occurrence of either (i) delivery by NEC of the Products to the common
carrier, or (ii) taking possession of the Products by Purchaser, whichever occurs first.
Limitation of Liability
In the event that a Product malfunction leads to damages or injuries to the Product, to Purchaser’s business, to the end-user’s business, to
other equipment, to a factory or place of business, or to employees or other persons, NEC’s liability shall be limited to repair or
replacement of parts of the Product if the warranty period has not expired. If such warranty period has expired, NEC shall not be liable
for such damages or injuries, provided, however, that if a court of competent jurisdiction shall find as a matter of law that the foregoing
part of this section is unconscionable, it is agreed that NEC’s liability shall be limited solely to a Canadian dollar amount equal to Purchaser's
purchase price for the malfunctioning product, less freight and insurance if included in the invoice price and less any depreciation deductions
or investment tax credits taken by Purchaser or another purchaser or end-user with regard to such Product or Purchaser’s or another purchaser or
end-user's income taxes. THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN SHALL BE EXCLUSIVE AND SHALL BE PURCHASER'S SOLE REMEDIES.
Transportation
Freight charges shall be prepaid by NEC and shall be invoiced to Purchaser in addition to the purchase price for product.

When products are sold to Purchaser, risk of loss and title to such products shall pass to purchaser upon delivery (as defined in Section 1 hereof)
of the products.

Section 1 hereof) thereof. NEC will promptly undertake to remedy same in such manner as may be appropriate. No Products shall be returned to NEC
without NEC's prior consent. Revocation of acceptance by Purchaser of the Products must also be within thirty (30) days after delivery of the

the purchase price of any such Products. Default in payment of such price shall permit NEC, at its sole discretion, to declare all of Purchaser's
obligations owing to NEC to be immediately due and payable and in such event NEC shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
applicable Personal Property Security Act. In connection with the security interest granted herein, NEC is expressly authorized by Purchaser, at its sole
discretion and as Purchaser's attorney-in-fact; to file one or more financing statements under the applicable Personal Property Security Act naming
Purchaser as debtor and NEC as security party (without Purchaser’s signature in province where such filings are permitted) and indicating therein,
as types of items of collateral, the collateral described above and Purchaser agrees to sign, as debtor, and immediately return to NEC any such
financing statement that NEC may in its sole discretion choose to submit to Purchaser for agreement.
