TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

ATTACHMENT B

1. GOVERNING PROVISIONS. All purchases of goods and/or services by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (“Purchaser”) described on the face hereof shall be subject to these terms and conditions. If the terms and conditions are unacceptable, seller shall return this order to Purchaser. Purchaser hereby objects to any additional or different terms contained on any of the seller’s quotation, acknowledgment, invoice or other forms, or in any other correspondence from the seller. Failure of seller to deliver in accordance with these terms and conditions may disqualify seller from receiving future orders from Purchaser. These terms and conditions together with the specifications on the face hereto, as supplemented by agreed prices and delivery dates, shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties on the subject of purchases by Purchaser from the seller, superseding all prior communications and negotiations. Any and all special terms and conditions attached hereto that vary from these terms and conditions shall have precedence over these terms and conditions. EACH SALE

BY THE SELLER TO THE PURCHASER SHALL BE GOVERNED AND

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF

FLORIDA, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF

LAWS. THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

HEREUNDER SHALL NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS OF

THE 1980 U.N. CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE

INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS.

2. PRICE AND TIME FOR PAYMENT. Purchaser shall pay the price set forth on the face hereof. Payment of all undisputed portions of such invoice shall be made within thirty days after receipt of seller’s invoice, but, in no event, prior to receipt and acceptance of the goods or services.

3. CHANGES IN ORDERS. Purchaser reserves the right at any time to make changes in any one or more of the following: (a) specifications, drawings and data incorporated in this contract where the items to be furnished are to be specially manufactured for the Purchaser, (b) methods of shipment or packing, (c) place of delivery, and (d) time of delivery. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for performance of an order, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract price or delivery schedule, or both, or Purchaser may, at its option, cancel the order pursuant to paragraph 12 hereof if agreement on an equitable adjustment cannot be reached. Any claim by the seller for adjustment under this paragraph shall be deemed waived unless asserted in writing within twenty (20) days from receipt by the seller of the change order. Price increases or extensions of time for delivery shall not be binding on Purchaser unless evidenced by a purchase order change notice issued and signed by Purchaser. No substitutions, changes or modifications of the ordered item shall be made except upon Purchaser’s written authority.

4. DELIVERY, COVER, DELAY AND ANTICIPATION. The seller shall deliver the goods in the quantities and shall deliver the goods and/or provide the services, within the time, which is of the essence, in accordance with the specifications on the face hereof, any drawings or approved samples, and at the prices agreed. All deliveries shall be made between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Failure of the seller to comply with such delivery requirements shall entitle Purchaser, in addition to any other rights or remedies, to cancel any order and be relieved of all liability for any undelivered portion. In the event of such failure, Purchaser shall also be entitled to effect cover by purchasing or agreeing to purchase goods in substitution for those due from seller in the open market and recover from seller the difference between the cost of such cover and the contract price together with any incidental or consequential damages less any expenses saved in consequence of seller’s breach. The purchase or agreement to purchase must be reasonable and effected without unreasonable delay. In the event that, for reasons beyond Purchaser’s reasonable control, shipment is delayed beyond the last date on which shipment by the method contemplated herein would result in delivery guaranteed on or before the required delivery date herein, the seller shall make shipment by the most expeditious available method of transportation. Any additional cost of such method of shipment shall be borne by the seller. If shipment is delayed for any cause, the seller must report the same to Purchaser promptly. Failure of Purchaser to insist upon strict performance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of any order or waiver of any default. Any failure by Purchaser to exercise its remedies with respect to any installment shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to subsequent installments. The seller shall not unreasonably anticipate delivery by purchasing materials or manufacturing quantities in excess of what is reasonably required to meet Purchaser’s delivery schedule. Items received in advance of Purchaser’s delivery schedule may, at Purchaser’s option, be returned at the seller’s expense or be accepted and payment withheld until the scheduled delivery date.

5. SHIPPING, PACKING AND RISK OF LOSS. The shipping terms for all goods purchased hereunder are F.O.B. destination designated by Purchaser on the face hereof. If the Purchaser agrees in a separate writing that shipping is to be F.O.B. shipping point, seller shall pre-pay all shipping charges and add them to the invoice. Purchaser shall have the right to route all shipments. All goods shall be suitably packed, plainly marked with seller’s name and Purchaser’s purchase order number and shipped in accordance with shipping instructions specified herein and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of common carriers so as to obtain the lowest transportation cost. Packing slips must be included with all shipments showing order number, part number and quantity; and the last copy must state “Order Completed”. The order number must be shown on each item, packing slip and invoice. No charge shall be made to Purchaser for boxing, packing, crating, carting, freight or express delivery unless separately itemized on the face hereof. Regardless of shipping terms, all risk that the ordered goods may be lost, damaged or delayed in transit shall be upon the seller until conforming goods have been actually received, inspected and accepted by Purchaser. The seller shall be liable to Purchaser for any loss or damage resulting from the seller’s failure to act so as to provide adequate protection during shipment. Additional expenses, charges or claims incurred as a result of deviation from the specified route, noncompliance with other shipping instructions, or improper description of the shipment in shipping documents shall be assumed by the seller. If seller ships based on a blanket purchase order, all packing lists shall reference the purchase order number, an itemized list and cost of materials delivered, and the total dollar amount of the delivery. Accepting released based on a blanket purchase order after the blanket purchase order expiration date or that cause the total expenditure to exceed the purchase order amount may delay payment.

6. INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION. All goods purchased hereunder (and work-in-progress relating thereto) shall be subject to inspection and testing by Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time before, during or after manufacture and delivery. If any inspection or test is to be made on the premises of the seller, the seller without additional charge shall provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the inspectors in the performance of their duties. Notwithstanding prior inspections, all goods are subject to final inspection and approval at Purchaser’s facility or other place designated by Purchaser and, notwithstanding any payment that may be made, no goods are deemed accepted until such final inspection and approval. Purchaser’s inspection before, during or after manufacture and delivery shall not constitute a waiver of the right of subsequent rejection by reason of any undiscovered or latent defect. Purchaser may return rejected goods at the seller’s expense. The seller shall not replace goods returned as defective unless so directed by Purchaser in writing.

7. WARRANTIES, REMEDIES. The seller warrants that the goods to be furnished hereunder shall (a) be free and clear of all security interests, liens and encumbrances, good and merchantable title thereto being in the seller; (b) be free from any defects in design, material or workmanship (latent or otherwise) and of good and merchantable quality; (c) conform to Purchaser’s specifications or the sample approved by Purchaser, and with representations with respect thereto previously made by the seller, to the extent any of the foregoing are applicable, as the case may be, and be fit for the use intended by Purchaser; and (d) comply and have been produced, processed, packaged, labeled, delivered and sold in conformity with all applicable federal, state or other laws, administrative regulations and orders, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1971 as amended from time to time. The foregoing warranties shall survive inspection, delivery and payment, and shall run in favor of Purchaser, its successors and assigns and its customers, whether direct or indirect. The seller shall determine the particular purposes for which all goods/services purchased by Purchaser are required, and shall utilize its skill and judgment to select and furnish suitable goods/services; the seller acknowledges that Purchaser is relying on the seller to do so. If any or all delivered goods are found to be unsatisfactory, defective or inferior in quality, or not to conform to Purchaser’s specifications or any other requirements hereof (including the seller’s warranties), Purchaser may, at its option and in addition to its other remedies, retain such goods at an adjusted price, hold such goods at the seller’s risk and expense pending the seller’s specific instructions, or return them to the seller for replacement, credit or refund, as Purchaser shall direct. Purchaser shall also have the right to cancel any unshipped portions of any order. Purchaser shall be reimbursed by the seller for all of its costs and expenses in connection with the storage, handling, packing and/or transporting of any such defective or otherwise nonconforming goods, and the seller shall assume all risk of loss or damage in transit to goods returned by Purchaser pursuant hereto.

8. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE SELLER. The seller shall indemnify Purchaser, its members, officers, agents, employees, successors, assigns, and customers (whether direct or indirect) against any and all losses, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and other costs of defending any action at trial and on appeal) which they, or any of them, may sustain or incur as a result of any claim of negligence, breach of warranty, bodily injury or death, strict liability in tort or based on any other theory of law in connection with this order, the goods/services furnished by the seller hereunder, or as a result of any claim that the goods furnished by the seller fail to conform to or comply with any federal, state or local laws, regulations or standards, based upon or arising out of any construction, installation, services or facilities furnished by the seller under or in connection with any order, or based upon the existence of this purchase order.

9. PURCHASER’S DAMAGES. The seller shall be responsible for any and all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including incidental and consequential damages, and including attorneys’ fees and other costs of investigating, negotiating, remedying, or prosecuting an action for breach, which Purchaser may sustain or incur as a result of any breach of contract by seller.

10. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS. The seller warrants that the sale or use of goods furnished hereunder will not infringe or contribute to infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right or subject Purchaser or its customers (direct or indirect) to royalties in the United States or elsewhere, and shall indemnify, defend, and save harmless Purchaser, its successors and assigns and its customers (whether direct or indirect), against any and all losses, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and other costs of defending any infringement claim) which they, or any of them, may sustain or incur as the result of a breach of this warranty.

12. NON-ASSIGNABILITY. The seller shall not assign, subcontract or sublet the work to be done hereunder without the prior written consent of Purchaser, but this provision shall not restrict the seller in the procurement of component parts or materials.

13. CANCELLATION BY PURCHASER. Purchaser shall have the right to cancel any order without cause, and Purchaser’s liability for such cancellation shall be limited to the seller’s out-of-pocket cost for work and materials applicable solely to the cancelled order which shall have been expended when notice of cancellation shall be received by the seller, reduced by the fair market resale value of such work-in-process. Purchaser may, at its option, cancel any order without liability to the seller (except for conforming shipments previously accepted by Purchaser) in the event the seller shall cease to exist or become insolvent or the subject of bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency proceedings or shall commit a material breach in the performance of any part of its obligation hereunder.

17. FORCE MAJEURE.

The seller assures the Purchaser that it will comply with the pertinent statutes, Executive Orders and such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, marital status or handicap be excluded from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from Federal assistance.
