M. INDUSTRIA, S.A. DE C.V.

These general terms and conditions (the “Terms”) are made by and between M. Industria, S.A. de C.V., a company organized under the laws of Mexico (“Seller”) and the purchaser (“Buyer”) identified under that certain purchase order received by Seller (the “Purchase Order”).  By sending a Purchase Order to Seller, Buyer acknowledges that it has read and agrees to be bound by these Terms.

1. APPLICABILITY.  These Terms are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods (“Goods”) by the Seller to Buyer and shall be considered incorporated to any Purchase Order by reference.

2. ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS.  Buyer shall deliver all Purchase Orders in written form via facsimile or e-mail.   By placing a Purchase Order, Buyer makes an offer to purchase the Goods pursuant to these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”), and on no other terms.  Any variations made to these Terms by Buyer in any Purchase Order are void and have no effect.  Seller has the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject any Purchase Order placed by Buyer.  Seller may accept any Purchase Order by (i) sending Seller's confirmation of sale (the “Order Confirmation”) which shall, upon Seller's request, be signed by Buyer and returned to Seller (via facsimile, e-mail or any other means authorized by Seller); or (ii) beginning to perform in accordance with the Purchase Order and sending notice of such commencement to Buyer, whichever occurs first.  No Purchase Order is binding on Seller unless accepted by Seller pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Purchase Order will be considered received only if Seller issues an Order Confirmation or begins to perform pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.  The Purchase Order shall contain the following terms: (i) the number of the Purchase Order; (ii) the name of the Buyer to which the invoice should be sent; (iii) a list describing the Goods to be purchased, including information customarily used by Seller in the regular course to identify the Goods (including the measurements in millimeters or inches and reference number of each of the Goods ordered); (iv) the quantity of each of the of the Goods ordered; (v) the requested delivery date; (vi) the unit Price for each of the Goods to be purchased, which Price shall be based on Seller's most current price list; (vii) the billing address; and (viii) street address for delivery of the Goods.

3. DELIVERY.

3.1. The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after Sellers's acceptance of the related Purchase Order in accordance with Section 2, subject to availability of finished Goods. Any time quoted by Seller for delivery is an estimate only. Seller does not guaranty delivery of the Goods by any delivery date and shall not be liable for any delay, loss or damage arising from any delay in filling any order. However, if Seller delays shipment of all or any Goods for more than thirty (30) days after the estimated delivery date (the “Delayed Shipment Date”), then Buyer may, as its sole remedy therefor, cancel the related Purchase Order with respect to the delayed Goods by giving Seller Notice within forty-eight (48) hours of the Delayed Shipment Date. No delay in the shipment or delivery of any Goods relieves Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation accepting delivery of any remaining installments of Goods.

3.2. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Seller shall deliver the Goods to the location or address set forth in the Purchase Order or the Order Confirmation (if applicable) (the “Delivery Location”) using Seller's standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Order.

3.3. Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer.  Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of the Purchase Order.

3.4. If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date designated pursuant to Seller's Notice that the Goods have been delivered at the Delivery Location, or if Seller is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Location on such date because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Seller, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).

3.5. NON-DELIVERY. The quantity of any installment of Goods as recorded by Seller on dispatch from Seller's place of business is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer on delivery unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary. Seller shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by Seller's negligence) unless Buyer gives written Notice to Seller of the non-delivery within two (2) days of the date when the Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received.  Any liability of Seller for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Goods to reflect the actual quantity delivered.

4. SHIPPING TERMS.  Delivery shall be made in accordance with the terms on the face of the Purchase Order.  Unless expressly agreed to by the parties in writing in the Purchase Order approved by Seller, Seller shall select the method of shipment of, and the carrier for, the Goods.

5. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS.  Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer pursuant to the delivery terms set forth in the Purchase Order approved by Seller.  As collateral security for the payment of the Price of the Goods, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing.  The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the applicable law.

6. CANCELLATION. Seller may in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, cancel the Purchase Order if Buyer is in violation of any payment obligations to Seller.  With the exception of Buyer's right to cancel the Purchase Order pursuant to Section 3.1, Buyer shall have no right to cancel or amend the Purchase Order submitted by it.

7. INSPECTION AND REJECTION OF NONCONFORMING GOODS.  Buyer shall inspect the Goods within five (5) days of receipt (“Inspection Period”).  Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller.  “Nonconforming Goods” means only any Goods received by Buyer from Seller pursuant to a Purchase Order that: (i) do not significantly conform to Seller's Industry Quality Guidelines as modified from time to time by Seller in Seller's sole discretion (the “Guidelines”); or (iii) materially exceed the quantity of Goods ordered by Buyer pursuant to the Purchase Order (“Excess Goods”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Nonconforming Goods shall not mean those Goods that would be conforming Goods but were changed pursuant to instructions or specifications provided by Buyer.  If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (a) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, (b) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith, or (c) if the Goods are Excess Goods and Buyer returns such Excess Goods to Seller, refund the Price for such Excess Goods, together with all shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith.  Buyer shall ship, at Seller's expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to Seller's facility as indicated by Seller.  If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall ship to Buyer, at Seller's expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Delivery Location.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 7 are Buyer's exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods.  Except as provided under this Section 7, all sales of Goods to Buyer are made on a one-way basis and Buyer has no right to return Goods purchased under this Agreement to Seller.

8. PRICE.  Buyer shall purchase the Goods from Seller at the prices set forth in the Order Confirmation (the “Prices”).  If there is no Order Confirmation, Buyer shall purchase the Goods from Seller at the price set forth in Seller's price list in effect at the time Seller accepts the related Purchase Order pursuant to Section 2.  Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, all prices are Delivered Duty Paid (“DDP”).  If Prices are DDP, Prices may include certain shipping charges, insurance costs, and taxes, and any duties with respect to shipment of the Goods DDP to the Delivery Location.  If the Price of the Goods to be delivered should be increased by Seller before delivery of the Goods to a carrier for shipment to Buyer, then this Agreement shall be construed as if the increased prices were originally inserted herein, and Buyer shall be billed by Seller on the basis of such increased prices.  Unless otherwise provided in the Order Confirmation, Prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable by Buyer.  Buyer shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes; provided, that, Buyer shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Seller's income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or real or personal property or other assets.  Seller shall not be responsible for the economic burden of withholding taxes, it being understood and agreed that payments shall be “grossed up” by Buyer to the extent necessary to ensure that Seller is paid any amounts it is due in full.

9. PAYMENT TERMS.  Buyer shall pay all invoiced amounts due to Seller within forty-five (45) days from the date of Seller's invoice.  Buyer shall make all payments hereunder as provided in the Purchase Order.  Buyer shall make all payments in US Dollars by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions provided by Seller or by credit card with the corresponding fee of (5%) five percent.  Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any dispute with any invoice (along with substantiating documentation and a reasonably detailed description of the dispute) within ten (10) days from the date of such invoice.  Buyer will be deemed to have accepted all invoices for which Seller does not receive timely notification of disputes and shall pay all undisputed amounts due under such invoices within the period set forth in this Section 9.  The parties shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously and in good faith.  In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute pursuant to this Section 9 the parties shall resolve such dispute by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 20 hereof.  Buyer shall pay interest on all late payments at the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to pay interest on amounts disputed by Buyer and agreed to be discounted by Seller, or amounts disputed by Buyer and for which Buyer obtains a favorable award pursuant to Section 20.  Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms or at law (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller shall be entitled to suspend the delivery of any Goods and cancel any future Purchase Order and Order Confirmation if Buyer fails to pay any amounts when due.  Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Seller, whether relating to Seller's breach, bankruptcy or otherwise.

 20. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LEGAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF YUCATAN, MEXICO WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any action arising out of, relat¬ing to, or in connection with, this Agreement, including any question regarding its exis¬tence, validity or termi¬nation, or regarding a breach of this Agreement, shall be referred to and settled by arbitration under and in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”), as amended and in effect on the date that demand for arbitration is filed. Each party hereto consents to such arbitration as the sole and exclusive method of resolving any such action.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 21 shall prevent either party from seeking provisional measures from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.  The arbitration proceeding will take place in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico and be conducted in the English language.  The arbitration will consist of one (1) arbitrator appointed by the International Court of Arbitration pursuant to the ICC Rules. The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator, its costs and expenses, including reasonable outside attorney's fees.  The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties thereto.  Judgment upon any arbitral award rendered may be entered and a confirmation order sought in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  For purposes of any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, for provisional measures or to enforce or confirm an award of the arbitrator, each party hereto hereby expressly submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Yucatan, Mexico.  EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUN¬TARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

 21. NOTICES.  All notices, request, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth on the Purchase Order and the Order Confirmation (if applicable) or to such other address that may be designated by the receiving party in writing.  All Notices shall be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), facsimile (with confirmation of transmission) or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage prepaid).  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Notice is effective only (i) upon receipt of the receiving party, and (ii) if the party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.

 22. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.  The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

23. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES.  This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms.

24. SEVERABILITY.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

25. SURVIVAL.  The provisions of Sections 12, 15, 16, 17 and 20 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason.  Notwithstanding any right under any applicable statute of limitations to bring a claim, no action based upon or arising in any way out of this Agreement may be brought by either party after the expiration of the applicable survival period and the parties waive the right to file any such action after the expiration of the applicable survival or other period; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver and limitation do not apply to the collection of any amounts due to Seller under this Agreement.

26. EQUITABLE REMEDIES.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (a) a breach or threatened breach by Buyer of any of its obligations under Section 15 and Section 20 would give rise to irreparable harm to Seller for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and (b) in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Buyer of any such obligations, Seller shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to Seller at law, at equity, or otherwise in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, and without any requirement to prove actual damages or that monetary damages will not afford an adequate remedy.  Buyer agrees that Buyer will not oppose or otherwise challenge the appropriateness of equitable relief or the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of an order granting equitable relief, in either case, consistent with the terms of this Section 27.

27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive, and the exercise by either party of any right or remedy does not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies that may now or subsequently be available at law, in equity, by statute, in any other agreement between the parties or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the parties intend that Buyer's right under Section 7 and Section 11 are Buyer's exclusive remedies for the events specified therein.

28.
