-4-
3.1.2 The sale of Products to ASSOCIATE for subsequent
resale to Customers will be made according to the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and
will take precedence over any other terms and
conditions which may appear on ASSOCIATE's purchase
order or any other document unless previously
accepted in writing by SCHLUMBERGER. Purchase orders
that were submitted to and accepted by SCHLUMBERGER
prior to this Agreement are excepted.
3.1.3 ASSOCIATE will submit purchase orders for the
purchase of Products to SCHLUMBERGER and SCHLUMBERGER
will not to unreasonably withhold it's acceptance of
said purchase orders.
3.1.4 SCHLUMBERGER will invoice ASSOCIATE for Products when

was established by SCHLUMBERGER in advance. If not so
established, payment will be made prior to shipment
or COD as determined by SCHLUMBERGER at the time
ASSOCIATE's purchase order is accepted.
3.1.5 Unless otherwise agreed to in advance, all ASSOCIATE
invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days
from the date of invoice. For any amounts that are
unpaid after the due date, SCHLUMBERGER may without
prejudice to any other rights, either suspend
delivery to ASSOCIATE, ship Products on future
purchase orders COD, or terminate the contract,
and/or charge ASSOCIATE a finance charge of 1.5% per
month on the unpaid balance.
3.1.6 No payment due to SCHLUMBERGER will in any
circumstances be offset against any sum owed by
SCHLUMBERGER to ASSOCIATE whether in respect of the

any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, SCHLUMBERGER will
be entitled to cancel any purchase order then
outstanding and will receive reimbursement for
reasonable cancellation charges.
3.1.7 All prices are inclusive of United States of America
import duty (including brokerage fees) but exclusive
of any present or future sales, revenue, or excise
taxes, or other tax applicable to the Products or
services covered by ASSOCIATE's purchase order or the

or employee. Goods placed in segregated inventory at
the request of ASSOCIATE will be deemed to have been
shipped and invoiced to ASSOCIATE at the time such
goods are placed into segregated inventory and

except for losses resulting from SCHLUMBERGER's gross
negligence.
3.1.10 All stipulated delivery or shipment dates are

incorporated into manufactured products, a supply of
such materials including 10% in excess of the

liability for storage of ASSOCIATE-supplied
materials.
3.1.13 ASSOCIATE will inspect and accept or reject goods
within ten (10) days from receipt or thirty (30) days
from shipment thereof, whichever is earlier. If

time period the ASSOCIATE will be deemed to have
-6-
accepted such shipment and waived any right to later
reject the goods.
3.1.14 ASSOCIATE's purchase orders may not be canceled,
suspended, changed or returned without written
consent of SCHLUMBERGER. Except for

specification, or quantity of Products after a

revisions are accepted by ASSOCIATE, the purchase
order will, if required, be amended accordingly.

first obtaining an export license from the U.S.
Department of Commerce or other agency of the U.S.
Government, as required.
3.1.20 The prices offered to ASSOCIATE under this Agreement
are based on ASSOCIATE's representation that it will
develop or has developed applications for the Market,
will or has integrated appropriate Products into
Systems, and/or will sell, distribute and support
