3. Title and Security Interest:
To secure payment of the purchase price and all amounts due or to become due to h-Bar, h-Bar reserves and Customer grants to h-Bar a purchase money security interest in the System and Customer agrees and grants to h-Bar a security interest in any substitutions, replacements and additions to the System and any proceeds of the System. Customer agrees to execute and deliver, at h-Bar’s request, any financing statement or other instrument or document presented by h-Bar to the Customer in order to complete, perfect or continue h-Bar’s security interest in the System. The Customer shall keep the System at the address shown on the front page of the referenced Proposal and shall allow h-Bar to inspect the System at any reasonable time until the Total Purchase Price is fully paid by the Customer to h-Bar.

The Customer assumes full risk of loss or damage to the System upon Manufacturer’s or h-Bar’s delivery to a common carrier of the System, or any part or component of the System, to a common carrier.
