THE SYSTEM OF PURCHASING
• NHI first learns of material available from the US Department of Commerce, and then sends its teams to verify the
source along with the Government Officials of the hosting country.
• After Verification of the material existence, negotiations take place along with product testing, conformance with
NIST, ISO3000, and many other standards to ensure consistent quality. A fixed price is extended under a term contract
under FOB basis to the hosting country for the material paid on per order basis. Each country has its individual
certifications and registrations under the holding yard name for import and export requirements of the purchasing
countries such as SGS, CCIC, CIQ and AQSIQ.
• After material has been purchased, NHI transfers the material rights to Network Scrap Metal Corporation (NSMC).
There NSMC establishes the necessary product sorting and coordinates the movement of material for anticipated orders
on real-time basis. Then NHI brings in Network Oceanlines (NOL) to arrange that material be placed at primary and
secondary loading ports.
• All material is brought to the loading port where it is again checked for proper weight, material specification, and
quantity by SGS or other third-party inspection company.
• The material is then loaded over the rail of the holding barges. If the port is shallow, flat barges are used and the
material is transferred to deep ocean barges or converted tanker ships at deep moorage. Otherwise, the material is
sorted into the specific covered cargo bays based upon the specific Loading Document.
• When an order is placed within NSMC’s computer system, a loading document is assigned to the Ocean Bill of Lading
and sent electronically to NHI for counter signature. This gives the vessel its “sailing orders” to proceed.
• The price is determined by the FOB price from the country of origin, the inspection fees, transportation fees, loading
port fees, ship acquisition costs, and transportation operation costs over the term of the contract. NSMC and NHI do
not make any money on the material, only on the shipping charges, and terms are fixed specifically for the material
source and the type of financial situation the buyer is purchasing the material under. As such, there are no negotiations
accepted as they are under the best price terms available at the time of presentation.
• All of NSMC’s contracts are written to include a clause whereby if the material delivered is not of the quantity or
quality expected by the buyer, that the entire shipment will be replaced without charge to the buyer. Further, the
delivery made to the buyer is his to keep during the time it takes to replace the shipment. Naturally, should this occur
more than once, NHI will investigate the claim made by the buyer to ensure that it was in fact discrepant resolving
future problems that could occur.
• Network Oceanlines is a subsidiary of NHI, and as such has some of the world’s most advanced communication
equipment on each ship. NOI can track and identify any delays in shipping, and inform the client should there be any
delay or early arrival of any shipment. This is done to coordinate unloading times and minimize the costs to the buyer in
the unload process.
• We realize that from time to time the buyer may need additional material over and above their contract. This can be
accommodated at the same contract price in increments of 30,000 MTW. This increment is necessary as the minimum
load per deep ocean barge is 30,000 MTW.
• NHI and NSMC will never enter into a contract where it is believed that it would not be in all party’s best interest. The
hosting country must be ensured of the buyer’s ability to pay for the materials they receive, Network Oceanlines must
be ensured that it will be paid in a timely manner to provide shipping, and the buyer must be ensured that the material
will arrive in a timely manner of the quality and quantity they are paying for. We never deviate from this process as it
allows for only good business and a lifetime partner.
• NHI and NSMC do not allow onsite inspections by any potential buyers as the logistics do not facilitate this on any
reasonable timeline. We do not control what or who any hosting country will allow within their borders or for what
purpose. We do recognize that in the spirit of good business, paying customers should have the opportunity of site
visits, and arrangements are made to give such visits over the term of the contract as a courtesy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• Why is there a 1 month deposit required for payment via LC under Annual Contract terms?
The seller has an office full of LC’s that are worthless, even from prime banks such as Bank of America and HSBC. Those
who want to purchase with only LC are generally doing it as a back to back LC, and as such, the monetary amount itself
usually creates a discrepancy. It is impossible to avoid the discrepant document scenario which is usually notified on day
20 of a 21 day LC due to either margin differences or payment terms not mirrored to the originating LC, and there is no
way for the seller to know beforehand if the LC is originating or back to back. If shipment arrives and is unloaded before
discrepancy is notified by the paying bank then seller is out the cost of the material plus shipping and logistics, therefore
NO Letters of Credit are accepted without deposit. This deposit ensures that the first load is paid for.
• Can the Annual Contract deposit be put into escrow or be issued as a BG (bank guarantee)?
No… the purpose of the deposit is so the seller has equitable collateral against the loading expenses incurred as well as
issuance of the Corporate Performance Bond as well as the secondary Bond by the indemnity bank which is not provided
by escrow or BG.
• Will the seller provide proof of past performance? (Appendix D)
Proof of past performance has nothing to do with proof of future performance and will not be provided. In addition, it
also violates the client confidentiality agreement within each contract.
• Are yard/site visits allowed prior to closing?
For liability reasons, yard and site visits are not allowed until the buyer’s fiduciary obligation has been met. Please see
the Proof of Product and On-Site Inspection terms on page 5.
• What is a 100% Corporate Performance Bond Guarantee?
The 100% Corporate Performance Bond Guarantee is in essence the same as issuance of a Stock Certificate or Municipal
Bond covering any deposit or payment received and is fully collectible in the event of contract breach by the seller as it is
contained within the contract. The 100% Corporate Performance Bond Guarantee also applies to and is issued for all
Spot Contracts and Revolving Spot Contracts and is initiated immediately upon signing/countersignature of contract for
receipt of any payments or deposits as per Appendix 5 of the issued contract. NSMC issues a 100% Corporate
Performance Bond Guarantee on all contracts for funds received as deposit for Annual Contracts or payment made for
Spot Contracts and Revolving Spot Contracts. Furthermore, Bank PB or SBLC of 100% is issued by seller on Annual
Contracts once the LC has been received and verified to match the terms within the contract but not issued on Spot
sales due to the rapid shipping times involved.
• Is NSMC in possession of AQSIQ Registration?
Yes, each facility is registered with AQSIQ as “Manufacturer/Yard”. “Manufacturer/Yard” registration with AQSIQ is
withheld and presented only to the port authority for entry (if buyer does not have their own AQSIQ Registration) and is
not given out beforehand so as not to be duplicated, unlike “Broker” registration which is given for verification at the
AQSIQ website. As required by AQSIQ, each facility is independently registered and inspected in compliance with
ISO9000 standards and is in compliance with NIST.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
The following are additional materials available from NSMC listed by ISRI code. Some materials are not always available
so be sure to confirm availability and request pricing and procedures as they require pre-payment before loading.
ISRI Code No. Description
R50-R65 Rail 12-36m
ISRI 231 Plate, Structural Steel Scrap (P&S)
ISRI 211 Shredded Scrap
• All orders must be in multiples of 30,000 MT (30k, 60k, 90k, 120k, etc.) to facilitate lower logistics costs.
• Used Rails are standard cut to 1.5 meter length (large charge box) and 1.2 meter length (short charge box) and pallet
bundled at 2,000-2,500 lbs. per bundle but can be cut to any length or purchased uncut at 36 meters. Uncut rails can be
bundled up to 2500 MT per bundle (depending on unloading capability at receiving port).
• SGS Report is not to be considered as “condition of payment” or “proof of product” with any transaction or any other
third party inspection agency. For purchases not loaded prior to payment, buyer will receive the full report directly from
inspection agency upon loading of cargo. If buyer is purchasing a Spot already loaded, the inspection agency cannot
send a verifiable report direct without a fresh inspection specifically for the buyer. We cannot and will not release an
un-sanitized inspection report from loading as that would violate the report on board the vessel as per most agencies
policy. The inspection report on board the vessel is valid for port entry under the seller’s name, however, if buyer
wishes for fresh inspection report issued under their name for shipment already on board it must be paid for in advance
at a rate of USD $6.00/MT.
• NSMC uses private shipping and has extremely high security methods deployed (especially given recent events of
hijackings) therefore any demands for Q88, ship registry documents, etc. will not be provided until the buyer’s fiduciary
obligation has been met. NSMC prefers to give clients above satisfactory supply for long term business development, but
we also cannot satisfy buyer paranoia at the expense of the lives of the crews on-board the shipping vessels. These
things will not resolve buyer issues and our experience has shown that clients who continuously want “something more”
before payment end up wanting more and more yet never pay for their goods.
• NSMC Financials may be viewed by going to www.networkhosts.com (parent company of NSMC and NOI) and clicking
on “Bank Information” then “Financials for NSMC”. The main NSMC website is www.networkscrapmetal.com or
www.nscrap.com.
• Broker circumvention is NOT tolerated in any way by NSMC. If we receive direct communication from a broker or
potential buyer, we will not proceed with negotiations and/or contract issuance until all referring parties are properly
identified for the purpose and recognition of intermediary commissions.
• Commissions are on top of root pricing quoted at 50-50 split with owner; Paymaster commission fees $6,000 or 0.1%
whichever is greater split 50/50 each side. Front end loaded commissions will disqualify a broker from collecting back
end commissions from the seller.

IRON ORE
COMMODITY: Iron Ore 64.5 Fe (can be blended to any specification 63.0+ Fe)
ORIGIN: Mexico (Loading Port: Guaymas)
QUANTITY: Min. 150,000 MT/month - Max. 4,000,000+ MT/month
PRICE: Quoted upon request / must provide quantity & destination
PAYMENT TERMS: The iron ore is offered under DES or FOB basis.
In 2005, NSMC (Network Scrap Metal Corporation) was approached to review the port limitations of Brazil and
were actively pursuing port developments for Malaysia iron ore mines. It was clearly determined that there would be a
shortfall of iron ore in the market beginning approximately in 2007 and Brazil would not be able to increase its
production to meet those levels. A friend of the mine owner who was an executive at Boeing had just returned from a
trip to Mexico and mentioned that the iron ore mines in Mexico would like for NSMC to invest in their development,
which NSMC actively pursued and started development of the infrastructure.
Having acquired 8 mines under joint development with an additional 8 mines on standby, each mine has the capacity of
delivering 250,000 MT/month. NSMC has available additional crushers positioned by the manufacturer for a rapid
placement within any of the mines to allow them to control the specific quantity for mixing large volumes of ore seeing
as each mine has different specification.
It was pointless to acquire mines unless there was the means upon which to ship the ore. NSMC has worked closely with
the government of Mexico to develop four ports which would facilitate the means to ship over 20,000,000 MT/month.
They have also set up mixing areas that would allow them to blend the ore to meet exact specification
requirements from any buyer. In addition, NSMC has acquired the means to process the ore into any of the three
normal usages of iron ore known as sinter feed fines, lump and pellet. These expansions in Mexico has allowed the top
iron ore owners to work together through Sam Miller and now in a fully co-operative means for client support from over
89 mines. We still continue to develop new mines and financial development in multiple countries outside of Mexico as
well.
Since most buyers have issues regarding the proof of product, we have provided the following photos and test results
from parts of the operations. Please note that we have not disclosed all of the operations and will not do so until the
client has met its fiduciary responsibility under contract. Once the client meets their fiduciary obligation or has provided
deposit of one month shipment value (deposit via TT or LC payable 100% against Signed Commercial Invoice only),
NSMC will personally provide full site visits and allow samples without hesitation.
In September 2010, NSMC offers Joint Venture Iron Ore Mine Development. For particulars, please contact an
authorized NSMC agent. Very serious and qualified inquiries only with liquidity for the investment!

SHIPPING DETAILS
All shipping is done via Network Ocean Lines Inc. (www.networkoceanlines.com - private bulk carrier and subsidiary of
NHI). NOI has a variety of converted tanker ships, flat barges, and deep water barges. The smallest shipping vessels
have a cargo capacity of 30,000 MTW while the larger deep water barges can carry cargo in excess of 150,000 MTW.
Deep water barges used primarily for shipping scrap steel are of the following dimensions:
• 450 ft x 250 ft / draft 26 ft
• 450 ft x 150 ft / draft 26 ft
• 350 ft x 150 ft / draft 22 ft
• 250 ft x 150 ft / draft 26 ft
• 150 ft x 75 ft / draft 26 ft
There are a wide variety of barges in use worldwide, and when it comes to ocean shipping NOL uses two.... converted
single hull tankers (some with engine, some without) and deep ocean hopper barges with dehumidifiers. NOI got its
start several years ago buying single hull oil tankers and converting them for hauling scrap and iron ore, that way if a
ship/barge is lost it creates a “reef” rather a “slick”.
The following pictures are an example of one of the barges which are used for transporting scrap steel. The hull caps are
lifted as shown and the scrap is loaded into the hull of the barge.

Appendix C
SECURITY INSTRUMENTS FOR DEPOSIT
The seller’s two instruments (CPB/PB) as security for the Cash deposit
Here are the procedures:
When the Cash has been deposited/transferred to the seller’s bank and clears (TOP 25 Bank this will take max. 30 days
depending upon the buyers banking arrangements!) The Corporate Bond that is active with the signing of the contract
will become cashable with the seller through direct demand once the deposit has been deemed clean and clear. At this
point, the initial ship allocation and/or loading as available is done but not released. After these funds are cleared and
the buyer sends LC is which is verified to match the contract, then seller will issue a Bank Bond in the form of a Backed
by a SBLC Under Uniform Rules of Demand Guarantee (URDG) , ICC 458, this will replace the Corporate Performance
Bond. This gives the seller the performance of the buyer and the buyer the equal protection under bond. The seller is
now able to release the first shipment to the buyer and the OBOL is sent immediately to the buyer.
Now the Bank Performance Bond (PB) stays at 100% of the Deposit amount for the entire term of the contract that is 12
Months or other.
Please note on a 12 month contract the deposit keeps reducing by 1/12th the amount every month and the LC payment
is also 11/12 the monthly shipping value and 1/12 is deducted from the deposit, this will continue until the 12th month
when the Deposit amount will be Zero. On longer term contracts the duration of the contract will reflect the discounted
billing so that on a 60 month contract, at the 60th month the deposit will be zero.
For example, when the 6th month comes and the Deposit balance amount is only 50% of the initial deposit amount.
Even though ½ of the deposit has been deducted in 6 months the PB will remain at 100% of the amount originally
invested.
The PB will be 100 % of the Deposit till the contract is complete, as such time the PB expires!
Hope this makes the buyers see their money is 100% safe and secure.
The seller does not require the buyer’s cash to buy the Steel Scrap he has enough. What he wants is a 100%
commitment as he does the same, with the 100% PB of the deposit amount.

Appendix D
PROOF OF PRODUCT TERMS
NSMC shall provide proof of product by means of an on-site inspection of the material sold under any of its contracts
provided that:
• The buyer has made their deposit in clean and clear funds into the account of NSMC designated by any of its properly
countersigned contracts along with its term Letter of Credit, and;
• The Buyer provides copies of all attending parties’ passports within 72 hours from signature of contract, and;
• The country of loading permits such visitation of each party whose passport has been submitted with the express
understanding that NSMC shall not be held liable under any circumstances as a result from any constraint, delay,
condition or rejection, and;
• The Buyer shall pay for any and all costs incurred for such on-site inspection no matter its origin to be paid
immediately upon presentation of invoice, and;
• Should the Buyer reject any material offered by NSMC, then NSMC reserves the right to show additional material from
any other site it deems appropriate until such time as the material is deemed acceptable by the Buyer, but limited to a
maximum of the sites currently available to NSMC without incurring breech therein of any contract entered into
between the Buyer and NSMC.
• These terms shall not be applicable for any NSMC contract defined as a Spot Contract or contract lasting in duration
for less than three (3) calendar months as re-inspection of a preloaded vessel is cost prohibitive since it would have to
be re-berthed, unloaded, inspected, reloaded and certified for the new load.
• Should the buyer demand third party inspection as Proof of Product on annual contracts then the Buyer shall place
USD 6.00/MTW of their total planned order into NSMC’s account upon the request to pay for such inspection, and such
report will be sent directly to the Buyer upon its completion by inspecting agency.

DES –Delivered Ex Ship (… named port)
Incoterms2000
ICC publication 560 – copies of the full version are available from ICC Publishing
www.iccwbo.org/incoterms/preambles/pdf/DES.pdf
"Delivered Ex Ship" means that the seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on board the ship not cleared for import at the named port of destination. The seller has to bear all the costs and risks involved in bringing the goods to the named port of destination before discharging. If the parties wish the seller to bear the costs and risks of discharging the goods, then the DEQ term should be used.
This term can be used only when the goods are to be delivered by sea or inland waterway or multimodal transport on a vessel in the port of destination.
FOB –Free On Board (... named port of shipment)
"Free on Board" means that the seller delivers when the goods pass the ship's rail at the named port of shipment. This
means that the buyer has to bear all costs and risks of loss of or damage to the goods from that point. The FOB term
requires the seller to clear the goods for export. This term can be used only for sea or inland waterway transport. If the
parties do not intend to deliver the goods across the ship’s rail, the FCA term should be used.
CIF –Cost, Insurance and Freight (... named port of destination)
"Cost, Insurance and Freight" means that the seller delivers when the goods pass the ship’s rail in the port of shipment.
Note:
NSMC delivers DES to insure that the customer receives the goods in a timely manner. If an occurrence happens at sea
during shipping, NSMC takes full responsibility and insures that the buyers goods are delivered to the port of
destination. Under CIF terms if an occurrence should happen during the delivery phase, it becomes the buyer’s
responsibility to make claim to recover the cost of the goods; under DES the seller is responsible to provide the goods
into the buyer’s port.

Appendix F
CONTRACT CONFIDENCE
When the client completes the NSMC LOI template it must be returned to the registered agent or broker. Their
information is placed within NSMC’s database and NHI’s computers will then perform several functions. First and
foremost, it verifies the availability of the quantity and pricing of the material ordered, ship allocation and scheduling. If
the order cannot be blocked or allocated for the 3 day acceptance term then the computer system will not accept the
order, otherwise the computer system will then create all the necessary contractual documents while blocking the
material from any other sales to other customers. The appropriate documents will then be sent via email to that
registered agent/broker for submission to your company as confirmation.
When an order is placed that exceeds $1BUSD, the seller is notified automatically so that a financial review of the client
can be conducted as this can be a rather expensive proposition for the seller to absorb while the client is reviewing the
contracts. Some clients have been placed on NSMC’s blacklist or have made previous attempts at acquiring material
where it was found that they did not have sufficient funds to enter a contract. At any time the seller reserves the right to
reject a contract or add terms to a contract that would provide reasonable assurance of performance. Such
modifications of a contract are done through amendments to an existing contract with supersedes clauses. This is the
only method accepted by the seller for any contract changes so as to exactly specify any deviation from the original
contract issued by the computer systems. The seller will not consider any “red line” contract submitted for counter-
signature and rarely reads any that are submitted due to the volume of contracts generated and propensity to miss a
term and condition desired that cannot be fulfilled.
