Terms and conditions for Import Letter of Credit

1. The documents and the goods and all proceeds of sale and of
insurance, and all your rights as unpaid sellers, shall be pledged
to the Bank and be security to the Bank for all obligations and
liabilities incurred by it or its correspondents in connection with
the Letter of Credit (the "Credit") and for all disbursements in
connection with the goods (which you hereby authorise the Bank
to pay for your account) and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, all your other liabilities to the Bank present and future.

2. You will keep the goods fully insured and in the event of your failing
to do so the Bank may (but shall not be obliged to) insure the goods
at its discretion and at your expense, and the Bank may debit your
account with the cost of so doing.

3. The Bank may on payment debit your account with all sums paid in
connection with the Credit or the goods and any commission and
interest or at any time if it thinks fit with the whole or part of the
amount of the Credit. You will place the Bank in funds on demand to
meet such debits and at the latest three days before the due date
(or earlier if required by the Bank) to meet any acceptances or
deferred payment undertakings.

4. In the case of a Credit in a currency other than UAE Dirhams, the


Bank may, unless you have agreed other settlement arrangements
with it, pass any such debits in UAE Dirhams at the Bank's rate of
exchange ruling when it passes such debit or, if passed after
payment, at the Bank's rate ruling when it receives advice of
payment.

5. In the event of default the Bank may at any time (whether before or
after arrival) sell the documents or goods and it may debit your
account with any shortfall.

You will indemnify the Bank against all claims, demands, costs,
charges and expenses which may be brought or preferred against
the Bank or which it may incur arising out of or in connection with
the Credit unless directly due to its negligence or default.

6. The Bank's rights against you shall not be affected by, and the Bank
and/or its correspondents shall not be responsible for any loss or
damage to the goods however or whenever caused, their quantity,
quality or condition or their detention by any person for whatever
reason, the loss, validity, sufficiency, genuineness or accuracy of
the shipping, insurance or any other documents or failure for any
reason by the Bank, its correspondents or any other person to
store, protect or insure the goods, and all acts and omissions of the
drawers and/or vendors and/or the Bank's correspondents and/or
any other person shall be at your risk.

7. The Bank may arrange for the Credit to be issued by its


correspondent bank. If the Bank elects to do so, the Bank will retain
full responsibility for the Credit as between the Bank and you, and
the respective rights and obligations of the parties will be the same
as if the Bank had issued the Credit itself.

8. You will sign or execute and deliver any transfer, deed or other
document which the Bank may reasonably require from you to
obtain possession of or perfect its title to the goods and/or to deliver
the goods or vest the goods in any purchaser(s) from the Bank, or
otherwise for the recovery of any proceeds of sale or insurance.

9. If the Credit is revocable it may be cancelled by the Bank at any


time, but cancellation by the Bank shall be without prejudice to your
and the Bank's respective obligations as regards any bills (or
documents) negotiated or accepted or payments made there under
or (where the Credit is available by deferred payment) documents
taken up before notice of such cancellation has been received at
the place where the Credit is available.

10. All teletransmission messages in connection with the Credit shall be


dispatched at your risk and cost and (save where it is directly due to
the Bank's negligence or default) the Bank shall not be responsible
for any loss caused by mistakes, mutilations or omissions in their
transmission, coding or decoding or interpretation when received or
by delay on the part of the teletransmission companies and/or
operators.

11. If two or more parties sign this document the obligations hereunder
are joint and several.

12. The Credit requested by this application is intended to be and will


be enforceable by the Beneficiary and any other parties to it
according to its terms and conditions. Otherwise, neither this
application nor the Credit is intended to confer any benefit on, or to
be enforceable by, any third party.

13. The Credit is to be subject to the "Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits", 2007 Revision, International Chamber of
Commerce Publication No. 600 and Reimbursement Authorities
