SCHEDULE A 

 

THIS CONTRACT FOR SALE OF EQUIPMENT (this “Agreement”), is made between LOUD LION SUPPLY CORP. (“Seller”), and _______________________________________ (“Buyer”). 

 

Each of Buyer and Seller may be referred to herein as a “Party” or “Parties”. Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to buy, the equipment described in ATTACHMENT 1 (the “Equipment”), on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE 

 

  1. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price to be paid by the Buyer for the Equipment is ___________________ Dollars ($_____________ CAD) all inclusive (the “Purchase Price”), the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by Buyer and Seller. The parties acting reasonably will mutually agree on how payment will be made. 

 

  1. INSPECTION. Buyer confirms and acknowledges that it has fully inspected, or has been given an opportunity to inspect, the Equipment to its satisfaction and acknowledges that Equipment is fit for its use and purpose.

 

  1. “AS IS” CONDITION OF EQUIPMENT. The Buyer states that it has inspected the Equipment and/or has satisfied itself that the Equipment “as is” is suitable for the Buyer’s purpose and conforms with its expectations and requirements. Except as expressly set out herein, the Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind in relation to the Equipment, and all Equipment described is sold in its “as is” condition. 

 

  1. DELIVERY OR PICKUP. The Seller shall make the Equipment available for pickup by the Buyer EXW from the location identified in ATTACHMENT 1, but only and conditional upon the full payment of the Purchase Price by the Buyer to the Seller. Pickup times shall be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. All Equipment transportation, shipping and pickup costs will be at the Buyer’s expense from the pickup location. 

 

  1. TAXES. Each Party shall pay all of its own expenses and taxes payable in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, provided, however, that Buyer shall be responsible for any applicable sales taxes on the purchase of the Equipment. 

 

  1. TITLE, RISK OF LOSS, AND SELLER’S LIABILITY. Title to and risk of loss for the Equipment shall vest in the Buyer, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, upon Buyer’s payment of the Purchase Price for the Equipment. Upon payment the Buyer will receive a Bill of Sale (ATTACHMENT 2) for such Equipment. From the date of this Agreement to the date on which title to the Equipment is vested in Buyer, Seller shall take the same precautions to protect the Equipment from damage or loss as it is currently taking, which in any event shall be not less than the reasonably prudent precautions taken by other sellers of similar equipment to protect against damage or loss. The Bill of Sale shall be substantially in the form set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and shall be delivered to the Buyer upon receipt of the Purchase Price. 

 

  1. LIENS. If the Equipment is subject to lien filings in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code, Seller shall provide Buyer with such proof as is necessary that any and all liens have been satisfied and released. Seller represents and warrants that it has good and valid title to the Equipment and is authorized to convey the Equipment to Buyer free and clear or any and all liens, claims or encumbrances of any kind. 

 

  1. NON-ASSIGNMENT. Buyer shall not assign, transfer or sublet its interest in or obligations hereunder without the express written consent of Seller. 

 

  1. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one single agreement between the Parties. 

 

  1. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, then the Parties shall be relieved of all obligations arising under such provisions, but only to the extent that such provision is unenforceable, and this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent, or if that is not possible, by substituting another provision that is enforceable and achieves the same objective and economic result. 

 

  1. WAIVER. No delay or omission by any Party to exercise any right or power it has under this Agreement shall impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power. A waiver by any Party of any covenant or breach shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the Party waiving its rights. 

 

  1. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement, including all of its schedules and exhibits, each of which is incorporated into this Agreement, is the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter, and there are not other representations, understandings or agreements between the Parties relative to this Agreement.

  1. GOVERNING LAW. The Agreement, and the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties thereto will be construed in accordance with the law of the Providence of Ontario, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. 

 

  1. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement is binding on all parties who lawfully succeed to the rights or take the place of the Seller or Buyer. 

 

  1. GENERAL. Seller and Buyer shall each, at its own cost and expense, from time to time and without further consideration, promptly execute and deliver all documents and take or cause to be taken all actions necessary or desirable to give effect to the provisions and intent of this Agreement, and the Bill of Sale to be delivered to Buyer pursuant hereto.
