the Goods separate from those of the Purchaser and third parties and will properly store,
protect, insure and identify the Goods as LEDsafe’s property;
(ii) LEDsafe will be entitled at any time to require the Purchaser to redeliver up the Goods to
LEDsafe and, if the Purchaser fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the

destruction, loss or harm, clearly designate the Goods as the property of LEDsafe, store them in

their supplied form, or commingled with other goods.

necessary information and do anything else required by LEDsafe to ensure that LEDsafe’s
purchase money security interest is a perfected security interest.

to register any security interest in respect of the Goods or any proceeds from the sale of the Goods
until LEDsafe has perfected its purchase money security interest.
(d) For any Goods supplied that are not goods that are used predominately for personal, domestic or
household purposes, the parties agree to contract out of the application of ss 95, 118, 121(4), 130,
