GENERAL CONDITIONS

Section 1: Scope of Work. As an equipment supplier, Ryan Company, Inc. ("Ryan") will provide equipment per the technical portion of the specifications as submitted, clarified and as approved by the Engineer, if any. To assure that no confusion exists concerning what is to be furnished, the following items are not part of our scope of supply unless specifically referenced, and shall be the responsibility of others:

Section 2: Status of Ryan. The status of Ryan shall be that of an independent equipment supplier and not a subcontractor.

Mutually acceptable terms and conditions of sale are herein established in this Purchase Order and acknowledged by Buyer's receipt of the Equipment. All other terms and conditions of any origin are excluded.

Section 3: Shipping. Ryan's freight terms are FOB factories, with full freight prepaid and allowed to the job site or first delivery destination. Ryan agrees to ship exclusively via insured carriers.

Section 5: Liens. Ryan agrees to indemnify Buyer from any liens filed by Ryan's suppliers or labor force. Ryan's statements of conditional, partial or complete lien waivers, consistent with payments received, will be furnished on request.

Since compliance with the various Federal, State and Local laws and regulations concerning occupational health and safety, pollution or local codes are affected by the use, installation and operation of the Equipment and other matters over which Ryan has no control, Ryan assumes no responsibility or compliance with those laws and regulations, whether by way of indemnity, warranty, or otherwise. It is incumbent upon the Buyer to specify equipment, which complies with local codes and ordinances.

Section 7: Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances shall Ryan have any liability under the Purchase Order or otherwise for liquidated damages or for collateral, consequential or special damages or for loss of profits, or for actual losses or for loss of production or progress of construction regardless of the cause of such damages or losses.
