I. TERMINATION
A. This Agreement may be terminated:
1. Buyer will terminate this Agreement in the event Buyer sells

termination shall only be effective after one hundred and
eighty (180) days have elapsed after written notification to
ESI, but in no case prior to end of the calendar year in which
the termination notification has been issued.
2. In the event that the payments by Buyer to ESI provided for in
this Agreement are not made within the time periods specified
herein, ESI may, at its option, suspend performance hereunder
and any expenses incurred by ESI in connection with
performance hereunder in accordance with this Agreement prior
to such suspension shall be payable by Buyer promptly upon
notice thereof by ESI. If such non-payment is not rectified by
Buyer within five (5) days upon such notice thereof, ESI may
terminate this Agreement. Any delays by ESI as a result of
such suspension of performance shall be considered an
excusable delay under Paragraph IV., "Excusable Delay" below.
3. Upon the commencement of any bankruptcy or reorganization
proceeding by or against either party hereto (the "Defaulting
Party"), the other party may, upon written notice to the
Defaulting Party, cease to perform any or all of its
obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, work in progress and deliveries) unless the
Defaulting Party shall provide adequate assurance, in the
opinion of the other party, that the Defaulting Party will

Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, and will
promptly compensate the other party hereto for any actual loss
resulting from the Defaulting Party being unable to perform in
full its obligations hereunder.

receipt of Buyer's written request, promptly deliver all Buyer's

payments, to be payment in full. Should ESI exercise option (i),
above, the Invoice will show either an amount to be paid by Buyer

Buyer, calculated from a comparison of MCPH payments received by ESI
and the Supplemental Work invoice amount.
C. All rights and obligations of the parties hereto created pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the expiration,
termination or cancellation of this Agreement by either party until

II. TITLE, DELIVERY AND RISK OF LOSS
Parts, Material, labor and associated overhead incorporated into Buyer's
Equipment, as required in performing Services on Buyer's Equipment
hereunder, shall be deemed to have been sold to Buyer, and title to such
Parts and Services thereon shall pass to Buyer upon assignment of such
parts, materials, labor and associated overhead to Buyer's Equipment. Risk
of loss or damage to such parts and work thereon shall pass to Buyer upon
Redelivery to Buyer. Title to and risk of loss of or damage to any parts
removed from Buyer's Equipment, which are replaced by other parts, shall
pass to ESI upon removal of such parts from Buyer's Equipment. Risk of
loss of or damage to Buyer's Equipment shall rest with ESI while located
at ESI's facility after Delivery and prior to Redelivery. Final acceptance
of Redelivered Equipment shall be at ESI's facility.
III. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
A. The total liability of ESI, including its subcontractors or
suppliers, on any and all claims, whether in contract, warranty,
tort (including negligence, but specifically excluding gross
negligence or willful misconduct), products liability, patent
infringement, or otherwise, arising out of, connected with, or
resulting from this Agreement or from the performance or breach
thereof, or the use, possession, operation, or maintenance of the
Repaired Equipment shall in no case shall in no case exceed the then
current purchase price for a comparable replacement for the
Equipment which gives rise to the claim. This provision shall not be
construed as relieving ESI of any of its obligations otherwise
required by this Agreement.
B. In no event, whether as a result of breach of contract, warranty,
tort (including negligence, but specifically excluding gross
negligence or willful misconduct), products liability, patent
infringement, or otherwise, shall ESI, or its subcontractors or
suppliers, be liable for any special, consequential, incidental,
indirect, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, loss
of profit or revenues, loss of use of the Repaired items or any
associated Equipment, cost of capital, facilities, services,

IV. EXCUSABLE DELAY
A. ESI and Buyer shall be excused from, and shall not be liable for,

shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of
the delay. This provision shall not, however, relieve ESI from using
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes and
continue performance with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes
are removed. ESI shall promptly notify Buyer when such delays occur
or impending delays are likely to occur and shall continue to advise
it of new performance schedules and changes relating thereto. If and
to the extent that ESI is prevented from performing under this
Agreement by any of the foregoing causes, Buyer shall be permitted

until ESI is again able to perform hereunder.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph A., above, if any delay
resulting from any of the foregoing causes extends for more than one
hundred eighty (180) days and the parties have not agreed upon a
revised basis for continuing the performance hereunder at the end of
the delay, including reimbursement of ESI costs resulting from such
delay, then either party, upon thirty (30) days written notice, may
terminate this Agreement.

pay except under protest, and if payment is made, shall use all
reasonable effort to obtain a refund thereof. If all, or any part,
