omissions of the other party or its agents or authorized representatives and

---------------------
fundamental and material issue in Zond's decision to enter into this Assignment

damages it could receive in the event of a breach of the Assignment by Zond.
Accordingly, SCWL agrees that in no event shall it and WDI, in the aggregate, be
entitled to receive damages (either punitive or compensatory; foreseeable or

entitled.
