Consultant is reclassified by a state or federal agency or court as the
Company’s employee, Consultant will become a reclassified employee and will
receive no benefits from the Company, except those mandated by state or federal
law, even if by the terms of the Company’s benefit plans or programs of the
Company in effect at the time of such reclassification, Consultant would
otherwise be eligible for such benefits.

WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHER THEORY OF
LIABILITY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER COMPANY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED
REMEDY. IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY’S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION

AGREEMENT FOR THE SERVICES, DELIVERABLES OR INVENTION GIVING RISE TO SUCH
LIABILITY.
