										| Terms and Conditions |  
										| MetalSuppliersOnline, LLC 
										(the "Company") will give an approved business or 
										individual (individually a "User" and collectively 
										"Users") access to this web site ("Site"), which 
										access shall be subject to the following terms and 
										conditions contained herein (this "User Agreement"). 
										As a condition of using the Company's Site, each User 
										agrees to review and accept each of the terms and 
										conditions of this User Agreement. BY REGISTERING TO 
										USE THE COMPANY'S SITE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO EACH 
										OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW. IF YOU 
										DO NOT AGREE TO ACCEPT EACH AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING 
										TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE THIS SITE. |  
										|  |  
										| Description of Site and Levels of Access |  
										| Users of this Site can qualify for three distinct 
										levels or categories of access. The most basic category 
										of access is given to Users who are classified as 
										"Viewers," and who are given the privilege to use our 
										Community and Research Sections. To become a Viewer, an 
										applicant is required to fill out truthfully and 
										accurately the biographical information and contact 
										information set forth in the Company's registration 
										application ( the "Registration Application"). The 
										second category of access is given to Users who are 
										classified as "Buyers," and who are given the privileges 
										of a Buyer when using the MetalSuppliersOnline Excess 
										Stock Room (the "Excess Stock Room") and the MetalSuppliersOnline 
										Exchange (the "Exchange"). To become a Buyer, an applicant is required 
										to fill out truthfully and accurately the information requested of 
										Buyers in the Registration Application. The third category of 
										access is given to Users who are classified as "Suppliers." Suppliers, 
										in turn, are given two distinct levels of access. The first level of 
										Supplier access allows a Supplier to post information in the Excess 
										Stock Room concerning excess inventory or supplies, and to solicit 
										offers from Buyers concerning such product. The second level of 
										Supplier access allows a Supplier not only the privileges of the 
										first level of Supplier access, but also the privilege to receive 
										and respond to requests for quotations ("RFQs") from Buyers and to 
										participate in live negotiation or transaction events ("Negotiations 
										or Transactions") within the Exchange. To become a Supplier, and to 
										apply for the desired level of Supplier access, an applicant is 
										required to fill out truthfully and accurately the information 
										requested of Suppliers in the Registration Application. |  
										|  |  
										| MetalSuppliersOnline.com is Only A Venue  |  
										| MetalSuppliersOnline.com is merely a venue for registered 
										Users to communicate, gather information and participate in the online 
										commercial transactions described herein, including the Excess Stock 
										Room and Exchange. The Site and the Company's sole purpose is to 
										facilitate the commercial communications process and provide an 
										efficient resource for research, communication and commerce within 
										the metals industry. The Site and the Company does not guarantee and 
										disclaims any liability with respect to the accuracy of any information 
										provided by Suppliers with respect to quality, condition, documentation 
										or ownership of the items advertised for sale on its Site or the accuracy 
										of any other information provided by Users in connection with any aspect 
										of the Site. The Company does not guarantee any individual Supplier's or 
										Buyer's ability to complete transactions using the Excess Supply Room or 
										the Exchange and makes no representation regarding the identity, creditworthiness, 
										or performance of any User. Each User is encouraged to evaluate carefully 
										the credit and business rating of every other User with whom transactions 
										are contemplated, including the D-U-N-S number provided by a User to assess 
										its creditworthiness. Any and all disputes between Buyers and Suppliers at 
										any time during or after the negotiation and or consummation of a transaction 
										in which Metal Suppliers Online facilitated the occurrence of that negotiation 
										or transaction are to be resolved directly between the parties in accordance 
										with their respective policies on such matters. |  
										|  |  
										| Registration Application |  
										| Every person that wishes to become a User and have one or more of the 
										recognized levels of access must first fully and accurately complete 
										the applicable sections of the Company's Registration Application. Upon 
										submission of a completed Registration Application, each User agrees to 
										accept each and every one of the terms and conditions of this User 
										Agreement. The Company reserves the right to review and verify the 
										information provided in an applicant's Registration Application and to 
										limit, postpone or reject the application for any reason, including not 
										meeting the Company's required qualifications as set forth below. Each 
										User understands that, until its Registration Application has been approved, 
										it will not have access to the Site. The Company reserves the right, in its 
										sole discretion, to review each User's status and compliance with the terms 
										of the User Agreement and to suspend or terminate a User's privilege to 
										access the Site at any time without notice. |  
										|  |  
										| User Qualification and Access |  
										| User qualifications and the appropriate level of access will 
										be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company. The qualifications 
										will be based on an individual's or company's business and financial status, as well 
										as verification that each User is "in the business" of buying and/or selling the items 
										listed in their approved category. The Company will determine each User's approved 
										category based on each User's qualifications. User qualification and category access 
										will be based on many factors, including but not limited to the following: whether the 
										User is a Buyer or Supplier, geographic or other Supplier imposed restrictions, type of 
										product, etc. Each User will be required to stay within its approved category and not 
										to deviate from any restrictions imposed on such category. Any deviation from the 
										restrictions imposed on the approved category will be grounds for automatic termination 
										of access to the Site. |  
										|  |  
										| User Password |  
										| Each User creates their username and password and is solely responsible for its 
										confidentiality. User agrees not to furnish User name, Password or other information 
										to any other party for any use of the Company's Site. User agrees to notify the Company 
										immediately of any unauthorized use of User's personal Password, User name or other 
										information. |  
										|  |  
										| User Information |  
										| Each User agrees and warrants that all of the information provided in its 
										Registration Application is true and correct, including, but not limited to, 
										the User's legal name, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address and 
										other personal and business information. User agrees to promptly update any 
										information provided in its Registration Application if such information subsequently 
										changes. User understands that all information provided by User will be maintained by the 
                                        Company as confidential per the terms of our

										complete information and that it will be liable to the Company and/or to other Users 
										if it knowingly or negligently provides false information. |  
										|  |  
										| Single-User License |  
										| Metal Suppliers Online subscribers who are approved as Users are granted a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable limited right to
										access the Site. Approval of an individual as a User grants the individual User a single-
										person (i.e. “single-user” or “single-seat”) license to use the service provided by the
										Company through the Site in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Only the
										individual approved User may access the Site using his/her granted access information.
										A licensed User shall not knowingly permit anyone else to access the Site, use the User’s
										login information to access the Site, or use the User’s license to access the Site.
										Businesses or entities participating in the Metal Buyer Advantage (“MBA”) program
										must still register individual Users and pay for a single-user license for each such User.
										Participation in the MBA program does not expand the terms of this license or convert
										that license into a multi-seat or multiple-user license. The licenses granted to Users
										under the MBA program are still considered single-user /single-seat licenses that are not
										to be shared among multiple individuals working for an MBA participant. Furthermore,
										licensees may not (i) modify, adapt, or otherwise create derivative works from the Site or
										any services provided by the Company; (ii) lease, sublicense, sell, rent, loan, redistribute,

										competing service; (iv) use the Site or the license to collect or harvest any third party’s
										information or send unauthorized commercial communications to other Users or any
										other person or entity; or (v) use the Site for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner that
										breaches this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted to the Licensee under this

											 |  
										|  |  
										| Supplier Conduct and Behavior |  
										| Each User who applies for and is categorized as a Supplier, 
										and who thereafter uses the Company's Site to sell merchandise of 
										any kind, represents, warrants and agrees to the following: |  
										| 
											Suppliers will not be charged any listing fees or sales commissions on 
											non-excess items sold by Suppliers to our Users. Excess items are those 
											items that are listed and marketed explicitly via the Excess Stock Room.
											Suppliers are not in any way restricted from contacting Buyers directly. Although it 
											is preferable to the buyers and Company that the Supplier utilize ths Site 
											to highest and utmost use as a communications service and information management 
											tool, Suppliers are in no way required to use this Site exclusively for the 
											purposes of conducting commercial activity as a result of inquiries and RFQs 
											generated from this Site. A Supplier who receives an RFQ from a Buyer is 
											encouraged to respond, and a consistent failure to respond to RFQs can lead 
											the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, to take away the Supplier's 
											privileges of access to the Site.
											
											Listing Information in Excess Stock Room. Supplier is solely responsible 
											for the accuracy, completeness and validity of all information describing 
											the item listed for sale in the Excess Stock Room (the "Listing Information"). 
											A Supplier who post merchandise for sale in the Excess Stock Room represents 
											and warrants that it is the lawful owner of all listed property, and has good 
											and valid title to transfer or convey the same. Each Supplier represents and 
											warrants that all Listing Information provided is accurate and truthful 
											regarding the type, quantity, quality, condition, and the availability of 
											documentation concerning the property posted by the Supplier on the Site. 
											Supplier understands and agrees that the Company, at its sole discretion, 
											may take any action it deems necessary to review, edit or remove any Listing 
											Information provided with respect to any item posted by a Supplier. 
											No Unlawful Items. Supplier agrees that it will not attempt to sell any 
											illegal items of any kind through the Site. This may include, but not be 
											limited to radioactive materials or controlled substances such as material 
											prohibited for sale by the US government. 
											Good Faith Negotiations and Transactions. All negotiations or transactions in 
											which a Supplier participates require that the Supplier participate in good 
											faith and adheres to the highest professional standards and etiquette. The 
											Company reserves the sole and exclusive right to monitor the performance of 
											each Supplier and solicit the feedback of Buyers to maintain the integrity of 
											this Site and its activities. The Company, at its sole and complete discretion, 
											may terminate the access to this Site by Suppliers who the Company deems are 
											not adhering to the professional standards and spirit of this Site as defined 
											solely by the Company on a case-by-case basis. 
											
											No Listing Fees. A Supplier does not have to pay any fees to the Company 
											in order to list items for sale in the Excess Stock Room.
											Transaction fees for the Excess Stock Room. Metal Suppliers Online charges a 5% sales commission fee, payable by the seller to MSO at the time of sale. Ratings for Excess Stock Room. A key factor to the success of the Excess 
											Stock Room is to assure that materials listed in the Excess Stock Room are 
											in fact available. A Supplier who lists material for sale in the Excess Stock 
											Room may be deemed not in good standing if the Supplier lists material in the 
											Excess Stock Room that is not available when a Buyer solicits the material. 
											The Company will maintain a rating of Suppliers who use the Excess Stock Room 
											to alert Buyers concerning the history of each Supplier and, in particular, 
											whether such Supplier has listed materials and then failed to consummate a 
											transaction. The Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, 
											to terminate the privileges of a Supplier to use the Site if the Supplier fails 
											to complete a sale after listing materials for sale in the Excess Stock Room. Title Transfers to be Negotiated Between Buyer and Supplier. Buyer and Supplier 
											are jointly responsible for negotiating delivery terms, including when title passes, 
											the party bearing the costs of delivery, and so forth, and the Company is expressly 
											indemnified and held harmless by the parties from any such liabilities. The parties 
											may, at their sole and absolute discretion, elect to use Freightquote.com to arrange 
											for delivery or forwarding of materials, but the Company has no relationship with 
											Freightquote.com, other than to allow easy access by Buyers and Suppliers to their 
											services, and the Company disclaims all responsibility and liability for the performance 
											of Freightquote.com. Company is Not a Party to Transactions; Fees Are Due On Agreement. The Company 
											is not a party to transactions completed between Buyer and Supplier, and the payment 
											and collection of funds is entirely the responsibility of the parties to the transaction. |  
										|  |  
										| Buyer Conduct and Behavior |  
										| Each User\s who applies for and is categorized as a Buyer, and who thereafter use 
										the Company's Site to buy or purchase merchandise of any kind, represents, warrants 
										and agrees as follows: |  
										| 
											Representation of Capacity and Intent. Buyer, by bidding on any posted 
											item in the Excess Stock Room or by sending an RFQ for any item is 
											representing Buyer's intention and financial capability to purchase 
											that item. Good Faith Negotiations and Transactions. All inquires made by Buyers, 
											or negotiations or transactions in which a Buyer participates require that 
											the Buyer participate in good faith and adheres to the highest professional 
											standards and etiquette. The Company reserves the sole and exclusive right to
											 monitor the performance of each Buyer and solicit the feedback of Suppliers 
											 to maintain the integrity of this Site and its activities. The Company, at 
											 its sole and complete discretion, may terminate the access to this Site by 
											 Buyers who the Company deems are not adhering to the professional standards 
											 and spirit of this Site as defined solely by the Company on a case-by-case basis.Buyer Observe Confidentiality. Buyer's are expected to adhere to any confidentiality 
											or geographic selling restrictions imposed by Supplier.Buyer Must Use Its Registered Name. Buyer may not participate on the 
											Company's Site by any other name than that provided in the Buyer's 
											Registration Application. Buyers are requested to update the information regarding RFQs initiated on this 
											Site. This Site is designed to provide a powerful resource to both Suppliers and 
											Buyers and Buyers are expected to provide feedback on RFQ's, Negotiations or 
											Transactions initiated within either the Excess Stock Room or the Exchange to 
											Suppliers via the mechanisms provided within the site. It is the company's belief 
											that both buyer and seller benefit from the efficiencies of electronic communications 
											and commerce. The company's goal is to replicate, in an on-line venue, the requests, 
											offers, and instructions that are typically exchanged between buyer and seller offline. 
											The Company may from time to time review the performance of Buyers in providing 
											Suppliers feedback and notify Buyer of lapses in this regard. Chronic failure to 
											provide Suppliers feedback could result in the suspension of access to the Site 
											and its privileges until such a time as the Buyer had remedied the problem. Title Transfers to be Negotiated Between Buyer and Supplier. Buyer 
											and Supplier are jointly responsible for negotiating delivery terms, 
											including when title passes, the party bearing the costs of delivery, 
											and so forth, and the Company is expressly indemnified and held harmless 
											by the parties from any such liabilities. The parties may, at their sole 
											and absolute discretion, elect to use Freightquote.com to arrange for 
											delivery or forwarding of materials, but the Company has no relationship 
											with Freightquote.com, other than to allow easy access by Buyers and
											 Suppliers to their services, and the Company disclaims all responsibility 
											 and liability for the performance of Freightquote.com. 
											Company is Not a Party to Transactions; Fees Are Due On Agreement. The Company 
											is not a party to transactions completed between Buyer and Supplier, and the payment 
											and collection of funds is entirely the responsibility of the parties to the transaction.   |

										month, the terms and conditions of this User Agreement to remain aware of any such 
										modifications. The User's continued use of the Company's Site after any such 
										modifications or changes are posted will constitute its acceptance of any modifications 
										to the modified User Agreement. The Company reserves the right to modify this User 
										Agreement, as it applies to any specific User, to grant special or unique modifications 
										to a specific User, provided that any and all such special modifications must be in
