performance of this Agreement, subject to all plant rules and regulations,

if applicable. Supplier shall become acquainted with conditions governing the
delivery, receipt and storage of materials at the site of the Work so that
Supplier will not interfere with Company's operations. Storage space will not
necessarily be provided adjacent to the site of the Work. Therefore, Supplier
shall be expected to select, uncrate, remove and transport materials from the

Supplier's property on Company premises. Supplier shall not stop, delay or
interfere with Company's work schedule without the prior approval of Company's

liability shall be limited to payment of the amount due for Work performed up to
and including the date of
Agreement No.
Page 7 of 13
termination (which amount shall be substantiated with proof satisfactory to
Company), and no further Work will be rendered by Supplier. Such payment shall
constitute a full and complete discharge of Company's obligations. In no event
shall Company's liability exceed the price for the Work being terminated.
TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT - Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement,
Supplier shall provide all labor, tools and equipment (the "tools") for
performance of this Agreement. Should Supplier actually use any tools owned or
rented by Company or its customer, Supplier acknowledges that Supplier accepts
the tools "as is, where is," that neither Company nor its customer have any
responsibility for the condition or state of repair of the tools and that
Supplier shall have risk of loss and damage to such tools. Supplier agrees not
to remove the tools from Company's or its customer's premises and to return the
tools to Company or its customer upon completion of use, or at such earlier time
as Company or its customer may request, in the same condition as when received
by Supplier, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

provided to, or acquired by, Supplier under or in contemplation of this
Agreement (Information). Supplier shall, at no charge to Company, and as
Company directs, destroy or surrender to Company promptly at its request any
such article or any copy of such Information. Supplier shall keep Information
confidential and use it only in performing under this Agreement and obligate its
employees, subcontractors and others working for it do so, provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to information previously known to Supplier free of
obligation, or made public through no fault imputable to Supplier.
WAIVER - The failure of either party at any time to enforce any right or remedy
available to it under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any breach or
failure by the other party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such right
or remedy with respect to any other breach or failure by the other party.
WARRANTY - Supplier warrants to Company that material furnished will be new,
merchantable, free from defects in design, material and workmanship and will
conform to and perform in accordance with the specifications, drawings and
samples. These warranties extend to the future performance of the material and
shall continue for one year after the material is accepted by Company. Supplier
also warrants to Company that services will be performed in a first class,
workmanlike manner. In addition, if material furnished contains one or more
manufacturers' warranties, Supplier hereby assigns such warranties to Company
and its customers. All warranties shall survive inspection, acceptance and
payment. Material or services not meeting the warranties will be, at Company's
option, returned for refund, repaired, replaced or reperformed by Supplier at no
cost to Company or its customers and with transportation costs and risk of loss
and damage in transit borne by Supplier. Repaired and replacement material

Page 8 of 13
WORK DONE BY OTHERS - If any of the Work is dependent on work done by others,
Supplier shall inspect and promptly report to Company's Representative any
defect that renders such other work unsuitable for Supplier's proper
performance. Supplier's silence shall constitute approval of such work as fit
and suitable for Supplier's performance.
Section Three
-------------
MEDIATION - If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or its
breach, and the parties have not been successful in resolving such dispute
through negotiation, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through
mediation by submitting the dispute to a sole mediator selected by the parties
or, at any time at the option of a party, to mediation by the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Each party shall bear its own expenses and an
equal share of the expenses of the mediator and the fees of the AAA. The
parties, their representatives, other participants and the mediator shall hold
the existence, content and result of the mediation in confidence. If such
dispute is not resolved by such mediation, the parties shall have the right to
resort to any remedies permitted by law. All defenses based on passage of time
shall be tolled pending the termination of the mediation. Nothing in this
clause shall be construed to preclude any party from seeking injunctive relief
in order to protect its rights pending mediation. A request by a party to a
court for such injunctive relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the obligation
to mediate.
Section Four
------------
AUDIT - With the exception of prices fixed by this Agreement, Supplier shall
maintain accurate and complete records including a physical inventory, if
applicable, of all costs incurred under this Agreement which may affect costs
(i.e. travel, living expense, etc.) payable by Company under this Agreement.
These records shall be maintained in accordance with recognized commercial
accounting practices so they may be readily audited and shall be held until
costs have been finally determined under this Agreement and payment or final
adjustment of payment, as the case may be, has been made. Supplier shall permit
Company or Company's representative to examine and audit these records and all
supporting records at all reasonable times. Audits shall be made not later than
three (3) calendar year(s) after the (a) final delivery date of material ordered
or completion of services rendered or three (3) calendar year(s) after
expiration date of this Agreement, whichever comes later.

interest, including copyright and mask work rights, in all original works of
authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression heretofore or hereafter
created by Supplier, or on Supplier's behalf, for Company or furnished to
Company hereunder is hereby transferred to and vested in Company. The parties
expressly agree to consider as works made for hire those works ordered or
commissioned by Company which qualify as such in accordance with the Copyright
laws. For all such original works, Supplier agrees to provide documentation
satisfactory to Company to assure the conveyance of all such right, title, and
interest, including copyright and mask work rights, to Company.
Agreement No.

unless adequate assurance of such ability to pay is provided within thirty (30)
days of such notice.
If a proceeding is commenced under any provision of the United States Bankruptcy
Code, voluntary or involuntary, by or against either party, and this Agreement
has not been terminated, the non-debtor party may file a request with the
bankruptcy court to have the court set a date within sixty (60) days after the

this Contract and shall give written notice to Supplier of such default.
Supplier will thereupon have twenty-four (24) hours to remedy the default. If
Supplier fails to timely remedy the default, Company reserves the right to take
over any or all work, to provide labor, equipment and materials, and to complete
or have completed any part or all of the work. The cost of completion by
Company shall be deducted from the unpaid balance, if any, due or which may
become due Supplier under this Contract. If there is no unpaid balance or if

Agreement neither grants to Supplier an exclusive right or privilege to sell to
Company any or all material or services of the type described in this Agreement
