products on request. All products supplied by BSC in Purchaser's possession shall be

received in respect of products belonging to it. Such proceeds shall be paid into a separate
bank account and shall be held by Purchaser on trust for BSC.

liquidation or a composition with its creditors, has a receiver, manager, administrator or
administrative receiver appointed of all or part of its assets or becomes insolvent, BSC shall

transit, Section 32 (3) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 shall not apply to any sale made
hereunder. Shipments must be inspected by Purchaser and written notification of any

necessary labour, materials or manufacturing facilities. In the event of any such delay, the
date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.

breach and BSC shall not be liable to pay any damages whatsoever in respect of
consequential loss (which term shall include but not be limited to loss of profits).

credit and/or delay delivery until such terms are met without incurring any liability. If
payment is not made when due BSC may charge interest at the rate of two per cent (2%)
per month on the balance outstanding on a day to day basis until payment is made in full
and/or delay or suspend deliveries, stop production, reject orders or cancel any Contract
without liability. If Purchaser enters into bankruptcy, liquidation or a composition with its
creditors or has a receiver, manager, administrative receiver or administrator appointed of
all or any part of its assets or becomes insolvent BSC may cancel any Contract. All of

exercise of one shall not preclude the exercise of another, nor prejudice BSC's right to
recover damages arising out of any breach by Purchaser.
