ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN CONDITIONS 3 AND 4
HEREIN. Buyer assumes all risk and liability resulting from use of the products
delivered hereunder, whether used singly or in combination with other products.
2. No claim of any kind, whether as to products delivered or for
nondelivery of products, and whether or not based on negligence, shall be
greater in amount than the purchase price of the products in respect of which
damages are claimed; and failure to give notice of claim within ninety (90) days
from date of delivery or the date fixed for delivery (in the case of
nondelivery), shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of all claims in respect of
such products. No charge or expense incident to any claims will be allowed
unless approve by an authorized representative of Seller. Products shall not be
returned to Seller without Seller's prior permission, and then only in the
manner prescribed by Seller. The remedy hereby provided shall be the exclusive
and sole remedy of Buyer. In no event shall either party be liable for special,
indirect or consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from
the negligence of such party.

"YEAR 2000" AGREEMENT
---------------------
A. Each party covenants and agrees that it will not permit a Year 2000
Problem to computer systems, software or equipment owned, leased or licensed by
it, its affiliates or subsidiaries to interfere with its performance under this
Agreement. Each party further agrees to request, from those of its suppliers
whose performance may materially affect that party's performance hereunder, that
each such supplier undertake the same obligation with respect to such material
performance. The parties will use reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate and
share information to further comply with this Addendum, and to minimize the
impact of any Year 2000 Problem on performance of this Agreement. Each party
will inform the other party of any circumstance indicating a possible obstacle
to such compliance, and the steps being taken to avoid or overcome the obstacle.
B. Provided a party complies with Section A, it will not be liable to the
other party for any failure to perform obligations under this Agreement to the
extent such failure arises from a Year 2000 Problem (1) affecting one of the

(e.g., a Year 2000 Problem affecting a governmental entity).
C. A "Year 2000 Problem" means a date handling problem relating to the Year
2000 date change that would cause a computer system, software or equipment to
fail to correctly perform, process and handle date-related data for the dates
within and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and all other
