certificates, licenses and other documents
as may be required from Buyer for export of

unavailability or shortage of materials,
labor, fuel or power through normal
commercial channels at customary and

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
Buyer shall bear all applicable federal,
state, municipal and other government taxes
(such as sales, use and similar taxes), as
well as import or customs duties, license
fees and any other similar charges, however
designated or levied on the sale or delivery
of the Products or measured by the purchase
price paid for the Products. Minerva's
prices set forth on the front side of the
invoice do not include such taxes, fees and
charges. Exemption certificates must be
presented to Minerva prior to shipment if
they are to be honored. :
Unless otherwise specified, the payment
terms are prepaid. All unpaid invoices shall
bear interest at an amount equal to 1-1/2%
of the outstanding balance per month (or the
maximum rate of interest allowed to be
contracted for by law, whichever is less),
commencing upon the date payment is due.
Buyer's failure to make timely payment may
result in such action as commencement of
proceedings for collection, revocation of
credit, stoppage of shipment, delay or
cessation of future deliveries, repossession
of unpaid delivered goods and termination of
any one or more sales agreements.
Notwithstanding any "net" payment provisions
specified on the invoice, Minerva shall have
no continuing obligation to deliver Products
on credit, and any credit approval may be
withdrawn by Minerva at any time and without
prior notice. Minerva retains (and Buyer
grants to TDC by submitting a purchase
order) a security interest in the Products
to secure payment in full and compliance
with these terms and conditions of sale.
Buyer agrees to execute any additional
documents necessary to perfect such security
interest.
Collections:
In the event the sales invoice shall be
placed by Minerva in the hands of an
attorney or collection agency for the
purpose of collection, with or without
litigation, or for the purpose of enforcing
Minerva's security interest in the Products,
the Buyer agrees to pay any and all costs
associated with such placement, including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and
costs incurred prior to, during, or
subsequent to trial, and including, without
limitation, collection, bankruptcy, or other
creditor's rights proceedings.
Currency
If a sale is to occur, or the Product is to
be shipped, outside of the United States,
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the
amount due Minerva is contracted in U.S.
Dollars and that payment in U.S. Dollars is
of the essence. Any payment by Buyer in
local currency or the receipt by Minerva of
local currency as a consequence of
enforcement procedures against Buyer will be
deemed an authorization for Minerva to use
that local currency to purchase U.S. Dollars
or, if such purchase is prohibited by local
law, an authorization to purchase
appropriate bonds or other instruments and
export them from the Buyer's country in
order to convert the currency into U.S.
Dollars and apply the proceeds to the
payment of any amounts owed to Minerva by
Buyer. Any deficiency as a result of
conversion of payment into U.S. Dollars
shall be the responsibility of Buyer.
4. RETURNS
Any return of
the Products purchased hereunder, whether
for stock balancing purposes or because such
Products are claimed to be defective, shall
be governed by Minerva's Product Return
policies in effect on the date of the
invoice, or as otherwise provided by Minerva
to Buyer in writing. Minerva
reserves the right to modify or eliminate
such policies at any time. Although
Minerva's policies may permit Buyer to
return Products claimed to be defective
under certain circumstances, Minerva makes
no representations or warranties of any kind
with respect to the Products. MINERVA
HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE
PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. MINERVA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE FOR BREACH OF
WARRANTY. The right to return defective
Products, as previously described, shall
constitute Minerva's sole liability and
Buyer's exclusive remedy in connection with
any claim of any kind relating to the
quality, condition or performance of any
Product, whether such claim is based upon
principles of contract, warranty, negligence
or other tort, breach of any statutory duty,
principles of indemnity or contribution, the
failure of any limited or exclusive remedy
to achieve its essential purpose, or
otherwise. In the event Minerva issues a
return authorization to Buyer allowing Buyer
to return Product to Minerva, Buyer will
deliver the Product to Minerva's address in
the United States, if so required by
Minerva, and Buyer shall bear all applicable
federal, state, municipal and other
government taxes (such as sales, use and
similar taxes) as well as import or customs
duties, license fees and similar charges,
however designated or levied, on any
replacement Product to be shipped by Minerva
to Buyer.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
MINERVA shall not be liable under any
circumstances for any special,
consequential, incidental, PUNITIVE or
exemplary damages arising out of or in any
way connected with the agreement to sell
Product to Buyer or the Product, including,
but not limited to, damages for lost
profits, loss of use, lost data or for any
damages or sums paid by Buyer to third
parties, even if MINERVA has been advised of
THE possibility of such damages. The
foregoing limitation of liability shall
apply whether any claim is based upon
principles of contract, warranty, negligence
or other tort, breach of any statutory duty,
principles of indemnity or contribution, the
failure of any limited or exclusive remedy
to achieve its essential purpose, or
otherwise.
6. GENERAL
These terms and conditions shall constitute
the final, complete and exclusive agreement
of the parties with respect to all sales by
Minerva to Buyer and shall supersede all
prior offers, negotiations, understandings
and agreements. Unless Buyer and Minerva
have executed a written agreement which
specifically modifies, supersedes and/or
replaces these terms and conditions, it is
expressly agreed that no prior or
contemporaneous agreement or understanding,
whether written or oral, shall contradict,
modify, supplement or explain these terms
and conditions. No additional or different
terms or conditions, whether material or
immaterial, shall become a part of any sales
agreement unless expressly accepted in
writing by an authorized officer of Minerva
in the United States. Any waiver by Minerva
of one or more of these terms and conditions
or any defaults hereunder shall not
constitute a waiver of the remaining terms
and conditions or of any future defaults.
No failure or delay by either party in
exercising or enforcing any right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof or
preclude any other exercise or enforcement
of its rights. Any provision of these terms
and conditions that is prohibited or
unenforceable under the laws of the State of
Georgia shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability,
without impairing or invalidating the
remaining provisions of these terms and
conditions. All sales agreements shall be
deemed made in, and shall be governed by,
the laws of the State of Georgia. The venue
for any disputes arising out of any sales
agreement shall be, at Minerva's sole and
exclusive option, Walton County, Georgia

Buyer's location. ALL SALES TRANSACTIONS
