Reservation of title:

1) Supplier reserves the title of the delivered goods (reserved property) until all claims have been settled, even if payments for specially designated claims have been made. With a current account, the reserved property serves for securing payment of the amount outstanding. If the invoice value of the goods sold with retention of title exceeds Supplier's claims not only temporarily by a total of more than 20%, Supplier shall release upon request the adequate amount of the goods sold with retention of title at his discretion.

2) Processing or transformation of the goods sold with retention of title shall always be done for Supplier as manufacturer, but without obligation for him. When processing the goods sold with retention of title using goods not belonging to Supplier, according to paragraph 950 of the German Civil Code, Supplier has co-ownership of the manufactured product in proportion to the invoice value of the processed goods sold with retention of title, relative to the invoice total of all other goods used in manufacturing. If Supplier's goods are mixed or combined with other products, thus causing Supplier's ownership of the goods sold with retention of title to lapse in accordance with paragraphs 948 and 949 of the German Civil Code, it is agreed that Buyer's ownership over the mixed or uniform product shall pass to Supplier in proportion to the invoice value of Supplier's goods sold with retention of title and that Buyer shall keep these goods on behalf of Supplier at no charge.

3) Buyer shall have the right to process and sell the goods sold with retention of title in the course of normal business under his standard terms and conditions as long as he has not delayed payment. Pledging or assignment of
securities is prohibited.
The claims arising from reselling or from any other ground of justification (insurance, tortious act) with respect to the goods sold with retention of title (including all amounts outstanding from account current) shall pass in their entirety, for reasons of security, from Buyer to Supplier. Supplier authorizes Buyer until revoked to collect all receivables of Supplier for the account of the latter under his own name. This authorization to collect receivables can only be revoked if Buyer does not settle his financial obligations in due time.

4) Buyer commits himself to provide any information necessary for enforcing Supplier's rights and to hand over any documentation necessary for this. When third parties have access to the goods sold with retention of title, especially in the case of pledging, Buyer must point out Supplier's ownership and notify the latter at once by registered mail to enable Supplier to enforce his rights of ownership. Buyer shall bear the costs of all measures necessary for averting the intervention.

5) Any breach of contract by Buyer - in particular delayed payment - shall authorize Supplier to request the return the goods sold with retention of title or, where appropriate, request transfer of Buyer's claims for return against third parties. Requesting the return and pledging of the goods sold with retention of title by the seller do not constitute a rescission of the contract.

6) Buyer is obligated to provide for adequate insurance protection of the goods sold with retention of title. Despite the reservation of title, Buyer bears the risk of loss and deterioration of the goods sold with retention of title.
