Exhibits. Enables IT shall sell and Customer shall purchase any goods, hardware, software and materials which Enables IT is to supply
and/or manufacture in connection with the Services (the “Products”) as specified in any Statement of Work or described in any order

breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement and such breach is not remedied within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof by
the other party. Failure by Customer (whether under this or any other agreement between Customer and Enables IT) to make any payment
due and payable to Enables IT is expressly deemed a material breach.
(c)
This Agreement terminates automatically, with no further action of either party, if Company is adjudicated
bankrupt, files a voluntary petition of bankruptcy, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, is unable to meet its obligations in

Confidential Information.
4.1
During the course of the parties’ relationship, they may have access to each other’s Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means any information that is disclosed by one party (the “Discloser”) to the other (the “Recipient”),
which, at the time it is disclosed, in any form, is identified or designated by the Discloser as “confidential or proprietary” or reasonably
should be known by the Recipient to be proprietary or confidential information of the Discloser. “Confidential Information” includes, but
is not limited to, with respect to either party, information relating to the business and affairs of such party, including without limitation
research, development, products, methods of manufacture, trade secrets, business plans, customers, finances and personnel data,
this Agreement (including the terms, conditions and pricing contained herein), and any information generated in the performance of
Services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding, “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that (a) was rightfully in
the possession of, or was rightfully known by the Recipient without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality prior to receipt from the
Discloser; (b) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault or breach on the part the Recipient or any person to who
the Recipient disclosed such information; (c) is obtained by the Recipient in good faith from a third party having the right to disclose it
without an obligation of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by the Recipient without the use of Confidential Information.
4.2
The Recipient shall protect the Discloser’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care and
confidentiality, but not less than a reasonable standard of care, which the Recipient utilizes for its own information which it does not
wish disclosed to the public. The Recipient shall not, either during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, use or disclose the
Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Discloser, except: (a) as specifically permitted in this Agreement; or (b)
for the purpose of performing its obligations or enforcing its rights under this Agreement, provided that such disclosures are made only
to those employees, consultants, contractors, professional advisors or third party service providers with a direct business need to
know and who have agreed in writing to confidentiality provisions that provide the Discloser with at least as much protection as those
contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Recipient is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a
requirement of applicable law, Recipient shall provide the Discloser with prompt written notice of any such requirement sufficient to
permit the Discloser to seek and obtain appropriate protective orders prior to such disclosure by Recipient.

Any dates quoted for delivery of the Products and/or Services are approximate only and Enables IT shall not be
liable for any Delay in delivery of the Products and/or Services however caused. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the
Agreement unless previously agreed by Enables IT in writing. The Products may be delivered by Enables IT in advance of the quoted
delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to Customer.
5.2
Where the Products and/or Services are to be delivered in installments, each delivery shall constitute a separate
contract and failure by Enables IT to deliver any one or more of the installments in accordance with these terms and conditions or
otherwise set forth in the applicable Statement of Work or Purchase Order, or any claim in accordance with these terms and conditions
or any claim by Customer in respect of any one or more installments shall not entitle Customer to treat the Agreement as a whole as
repudiated.
5.3
If Customer fails to take delivery of the Products on the agreed dates, or fails to give Enables IT adequate delivery
instructions or fails to make necessary arrangements for accepting delivery at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of
any cause beyond Customer’s reasonable control or by reason of Enables IT’s fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or
remedy available to Enables IT, Enables IT may store the Products until actual delivery and charge Customer for the reasonable costs
(including insurance) of storage and other expenses incurred and time expended.
5.4
Failure by Customer to pay for part delivery of Products and/or Services when payment is due shall entitle Enables
IT to withhold further delivery of Products and/or Services.
5.5
Enables IT reserves the right to refuse to take delivery of Products returned by Customer if Customer has not first
obtained a good return number issued by Enables IT to Customer and such number is not displayed on the packaging of the Products
returned.
5.6
Enables IT shall be entitled to levy a 2% handling charge on Products returned if ordered in error or are no longer
required by Customer for whatever reason.

Risk and Property.
6.1
Risk of damage to or loss of the Products shall pass to Customer:
(a)
In the case of Products to be delivered at Enables IT’s premises, at the time when Enables IT notifies
Customer that the Products are available for collection or;
(b)
In the case of Products to be delivered otherwise than at Enables IT’s premises, at the time of delivery or, if
Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the products, the time when Enables IT has tendered delivery of
the Goods.
6.2
Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Products, or any other provision of these terms and
conditions or otherwise set forth in the Agreement, the property in the Products shall not pass to Customer until Enables IT has
received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Products and all other goods or services agreed to be sold by
Enables IT to Customer for which payment is then due.
6.3
Until such time as the property in the Products passes to Customer, Customer shall hold the Products as Enables
IT’s fiduciary agent and bailee, and shall keep the Products separate from those of Customer and third parties and properly stored,
protected and insured and identified as Enables IT’s property, but Customer shall be entitled to use the Products in the ordinary
course of its business.
6.4
Until such time as the property in the Products passes to Customer (and provided the Products are still in
existence and have not been resold), Enables IT shall be entitled at any time to require Customer to deliver up the Products to Enables
IT and, if Customer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of Customer or any third party where the Products are stored
and repossess the Products and in doing so Enables IT shall have no liability to Customer or any third party for loss of data, software
or other information belonging to Customer or a third party.

In respect of Products not manufactured by Enables IT or Services delivered by a third party company, Customer
shall only be entitled to the benefit of any warranty or guarantee as is given by the manufacturer to Enables IT. Where Customer has

Enables IT shall be under no liability in respect of any defect in the Products and/or Services arising from any
drawing, design or specification supplied by Customer.

agreement and statement of work with Enables IT.

the price as if the Products and/or Services had been delivered in accordance with the Agreement.
