of Sun Computer Systems Products through GE Access.

Accrued funds may only be used for the following:
--------------------------

Accrued funds have no cash value and may not be redeemed by Reseller for cash or
otherwise. Accrued funds may only be used to fund services approved by Reseller

DISCOUNT ADJUSTMENT POLICY
--------------------------

Reseller's revenue history will be reviewed at the end of each calendar quarter
to assess Reseller's 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month performance and to confirm Reseller
has been performing at the revenue run rate required for the discount and
accrued funding levels described above. If Reseller's run rate for any of those
periods is greater than the minimum required to reach a higher discount tier,
Reseller will be notified quarterly in writing by GE Access of the appropriate
upward adjustment of Reseller's discount and/or accrued funding levels,
effective on the fifteenth (15th) day of the first month of the following
quarter. If Reseller's run rate is below the minimum to maintain Reseller's
current discount rate, Reseller will be notified in writing by GE Access that
Reseller has an additional ninety (90) days in which to increase its run rate in
order to maintain the same discount and/or accrued funding levels. If the
required minimum run rate for any of the above measurement periods is not
resumed after ninety (90) days, Reseller's discount and/or accrued funding
levels will be adjusted to the new levels corresponding to the reduced run rate,
effective on the first (1st) day of the second month of the following quarter.

               Trademark (as defined herein).
     3.5  Consequences of Termination or Expiration. Upon any expiration or
          termination of the Agreement (or all of them), the following will
          occur:
          (a)  all outstanding invoices and amounts owing from Partner to Sun
               will thereupon become immediately due and payable;
          (b)  Sun will have the right of first refusal to repurchase Products
               in Partner's inventory at the lower of net invoice price or the
               then fair market value, as may be adjusted for any amounts due
               but unpaid pursuant to Section 3.5(a). If Sun desires to exercise
               this right, it will do so by written notice. Except in the case
               of Sun's termination for material breach, for a period of ninety
               (90) days from the date of termination or expiration, Partner may

          (c)  Sun will have the right to cancel by written notice all or part
               of any unfulfilled order previously accepted by Sun. To the

               will continue to apply to such order;
          (d)  Partner will immediately return all Sun property under Partner's
               control (including without limitation all Sun confidential
               information, schematics, manuals, Software and Sun business
               plans) and remove, cancel and/or cease to use the Sun Trademarks,
               any signs or other advertising materials referring to Sun, or
               Products or Services or to Partner as an authorized reseller of
               Sun; and
          (e)  all of Partner's rights under the Agreement shall immediately
               cease and Partner shall at no time in the future represent that
               it is an authorized reseller of Sun or that it is in any way
               associated with Sun or Products or Services.
     3.6  Survival. Rights and obligations under the Agreement which by their
          nature should survive, will remain in effect after termination or
          expiration of the Agreement.
     3.7  No Liability for Termination or Expiration. The right of termination
          or expiration provided herein is absolute. Each party waives and
          releases the other from any claim to compensation or indemnity related
          to the permitted or lawful termination of the business relationship
          established under the Agreement.
4.   COMMERCIAL TERMS
     4.1  Commercial terms for Partners who purchase Products or Services from a
          Sun authorized Master Reseller will be determined by Partner's
          agreement with such Master Reseller. This Section 4.1 applies only to
          Partners who purchase Products or Services directly from Sun.
          (a)  Prices and Taxes. Prices and fees for Products and Services are
               exclusive of all shipping and insurance charges, and do not
               include sales tax or any other tax based upon the value of
               Products and/or Services. Partner is responsible for payment of
               all such charges and taxes.

          (b)  Payments. If Partner satisfies Sun's credit requirements, payment
               terms are net thirty (30) days from (i) the date of invoice for
               Products or Services, or (ii) where Partner is purchasing
               Products, the date of shipment of Products, whichever is the
               later. Otherwise terms are cash in advance of delivery. Sun in
               its reasonable commercial judgment may place Partner on credit
               hold, in which event, Sun will promptly inform Partner and may:
               i) with respect to Product purchases, delay or reschedule Partner
               orders, and ii) with respect to Services, discontinue delivery
               upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Partner. Interest will
               accrue from the date on which payment is due at the lesser of
               fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by
               applicable law. Partner will not be required to pay the disputed
               portion of any invoice, pending resolution of that dispute,
               provided that written notice of the dispute has been forwarded to
               Sun in writing within fifteen (15) days of the date of that
               invoice.

     4.2  Records and Audits. During the term of the Agreement and for a period
          of five (5) years thereafter, Partner will maintain accurate records
          as necessary to verify compliance with the Agreement. Sun may audit
          these records at any time after reasonable written notice to verify
          compliance. Sun will conduct this audit through an independent auditor
          of Sun's choice ("Auditor"). Auditor will be bound to keep
          confidential the details of the business affairs of Partner and to
          limit disclosure of the audit results to only the sufficiency of the
          records, including, whether Partner is in compliance with the terms of
          the Agreement and the amount, if applicable, of any required
          additional payment or other payment adjustment. Except as described
          below, Sun will bear all costs and expenses associated with the
          exercise of its audit rights. Any errors in payments identified will
          be corrected by Partner by appropriate adjustment in payment for the
          quarterly period during which the error is discovered. In the event of
          an underpayment of more than five percent (5%), Partner will reimburse
          Sun the amount of the underpayment, the reasonable charges of the
          Auditor in performing the audit that identified the underpayment, and
          interest on the overdue amount at the maximum allowable interest rate
          from the date the obligation accrued.
5.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
     If either party desires that information provided to the other party under
     the Agreement be held in confidence, that party will, prior to or at the
     time of disclosure, identify the information in writing as confidential or
     proprietary. The recipient may not disclose such confidential or
     proprietary information, may use it only for purposes specifically
     contemplated in the Agreement, and must treat it with the same degree of
     care as it does its own similar information, but with no less than
     reasonable care. These obligations do not apply to information which:
     a) is or becomes known by recipient without an obligation to maintain its
     confidentiality; b) is or becomes generally known to the public through no
     act or omission of recipient; or c) is independently developed by recipient
     without use of confidential or proprietary information. This section will
     not affect any other confidential disclosure agreement between the parties.

               and properly installed.
          (c)  Other Products are not covered by these warranties.

               them ceasing to be Listed Products.
          (e)  Partner's sole and exclusive remedy for Sun's breach of these
               warranties will be for Sun at its option: (i) to use commercially

               Year 2000 compliant products; or (iii) if (i) and (ii) are
               commercially unreasonable, to refund to Partner its net book
               value respectively for non-compliant Listed Products or products
               for which scheduled Y2K Fixes were not provided.

    avoided by the use of a different version made available to Partner. THIS
    SECTION 10 STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF SUN AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF
    Partner FOR CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT.

    grant, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (i) each party's

    liable for any indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential
    damages in connection with or arising out of the Agreement (including loss

     Agreement or (ii) any acts or omissions of Partner. Partner shall carry
     liability insurance to protect Sun from all such claims, pay the premiums
     therefor, and deliver to Sun, upon request, proof of such insurance (which
     shall require thirty (30) days' written notice to Sun in event of
     modification or termination).
13.  FORCE MAJEURE
     A party is not liable under the Agreement for non-performance caused by
     events or conditions beyond that party's control, if the party makes
     reasonable efforts to perform. This provision does not relieve either party
     of its obligations to make payments then owing.
14.  WAIVER OR DELAY
     Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under the
     Agreement will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-
     enforcement.

     obligations under the Agreement, without the prior written consent of the
     other party, except that Sun may assign its right to payment, assign the

     or Products. If Sun elects to subcontract Service or Product delivery, Sun
     will remain primarily responsible for delivery.

     An Agreement is not intended to create a relationship such as a
     partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, or fiduciary or employment
     relationship. Neither party may act in a manner which expresses or implies
     a relationship other than that of independent contractor, nor bind the
     other party.

     or by means evidenced by a delivery receipt or via email or website and

     of any government or by any court or arbitrator, such invalidity will not
     affect the enforceability of any other provisions.

     California and controlling US Federal law. Choice of law rules of any
     jurisdiction and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
     International Sale of Goods will not apply.
20.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT
     20.1  An Agreement (which includes the applicable Exhibit) is the parties'
           entire agreement relating to its subject matter. It cancels and
           supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
           communications, proposals, conditions, representations and warranties
           and prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote,
           order, acknowledgment, or other communication between the parties
           relating to its subject matter.
     20.2  No modification to the Agreement will be binding, unless in writing
           and signed by an authorized representative of each party.

           conditions of any other agreement Partner may have with Sun.

          Partner will pay Sun an amount equal to the Fee, less the applicable
          discount set forth in Schedule 1.
     3.5  Price Changes. Sun reserves the right to change the Price List,
          discounts and Fees for any Software at any time without approval of
          Partner. Changes which result in a decrease in Fees will take effect
          immediately upon announcement. In the event of a change which
          increases Fees, Sun will provide Partner with thirty (30) days prior
          written notice. If, during the term of this Software Exhibit, Sun
          decreases the Fee for any Software, Partner will be entitled to a
          credit toward new orders for any Software placed within thirty (30)
          days after announcement by Sun. This credit will be equal to the
          difference between the new Fee and the Fee paid by Partner less any
          previous credits provided, for the affected Software multiplied by the
          quantity of that Software in Partner's inventory as of the date of the
          announcement. In order to claim this credit, Partner must, within
          thirty (30) days of announcement of a change which decreases Fees,
          supply Sun with a written report including: (a) the identification of
          all affected Software which were in Partner's inventory immediately
          prior to announcement of the decrease; (b) the net Fee for this
          Software before and after the decrease and (c) other information as
          Sun may reasonably request. Sun will issue the credit to Partner
          within sixty (60) days from the date Sun receives the report. All
          orders for Software scheduled for shipment or in transit to Partner at
          the time of the announcement will be adjusted to the decreased Fee.
     3.6  Delivery and Title. Software purchase orders will be submitted to Sun
          by Partner under the terms of this Software Exhibit and subject to a
          minimum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per order. Sun will deliver
          Software Ex Works, Sun facilities. Partner assumes all risk of loss or
          damage upon delivery of Software. Partner acknowledges that it does
          not take title to Software, with the exception of media and printed
          materials, but rather licenses Software under the terms of this
          Agreement.
     3.7  Updates, Version Releases and Software Releases. Fees are for the
          Software releases current as of the Effective Date. Except as provided
          in Section 4 of this Software Exhibit, Updates, Version Releases and

          additional terms. Sun may, without Partner's approval and without

               provided to a Partner at no charge.

               immediately preceding Version Release or Software Release will be
               provided to Partner at no charge unless Sun increases its Fees
               for the new release. If Sun increases its Fees, the new release
               will be made available to Partner at the incremental price
               difference between the original Fee paid by Partner and the Fee
               for the new release.

               Partner paid for the returned Software if the return is
               accompanied by a firm order for the immediate delivery of
               Upgrades whose total payment amount at least equals that of the
               returned Software. Partner is limited to two (2) upgrade requests
               for each Update, Version Release and Software Release. The first
               request must be received by Sun within thirty (30) days of the
               Commencement Date and the second request within ninety (90) days
               of the Commencement Date. If Partner fails to make the requests
               within the time frame described, Partner will no longer have the
               right to upgrade Software under this Section 4.
          (d)  For a period of ninety (90) days after Sun discontinues offering
               Software, Partner will have the right, shipping prepaid and
               retaining all risk of loss, to return the unopened discontinued
               Software to Sun. Sun will credit Partner with the total amount
               Partner paid for the discontinued Software if the return is
               accompanied by a firm order for the immediate delivery of other
               Software whose total payment amount at least equals that of the

        harmless from and against all claims from Partner's End Users or third
        parties arising out of any acts and/or omissions of Partner or its
        employees or representatives. Partner shall carry liability insurance to
        protect Sun from all such claims, pay the premiums therefor, and deliver
        to Sun, upon request, proof of such insurance (which shall require
        thirty (30) days' written notice to Sun in event of modification or
        termination).

    F.  Fair Representation. Partner shall display, demonstrate, and represent
        Products fairly and shall make no representations concerning Sun or its
        Products which are false, misleading, or inconsistent with those
        representations set forth in promotional materials, literature and
        manuals published and supplied by Sun. Partner shall comply with all
        applicable laws and regulations in performing under this Agreement.

    G.  Sun SPARC Only. Except as otherwise provided in writing by Sun, Partner
        shall not sell, lease, or otherwise deal in any product based on SPARC
        Architecture, unless such product (i) is a Sun Product or (ii) is a
        "laptop system". A product is a "laptop system" if it is (i)
        transportable, (ii) battery operated, (iii) under sixteen (16) pounds
        total weight including case, and (iv) packaged without a CRT. Partner
        is not prohibited by this Agreement from selling any product that does
        not contain the SPARC Architecture.

    H.  Partner shall purchase all Sun Products for resale directly from Sun or
        from its designated Master Reseller unless an exception is granted by
        Sun in writing. Purchase terms and conditions as may be agreed upon
        between Partner and designated Master Reseller shall govern the purchase
        of Products from the Master Reseller. Sun will permit Reseller to change
        the identity of its designated Master Reseller only once per year, by
        Notice (which shall include the effective date of the transition),
        during the thirty (30) days' period prior to each year's Expiration
        Date.

        No Simultaneous Order. The intention of the parties, and the goal of
        this Agreement, is that Partner will not issue the same purchase orders
        for Products from both Sun and Master Reseller with the intention that
        one order be canceled in favor of the other order. Partner must not
        issue orders directly to Sun and to a Master Reseller at the same time
        for the same Products. Failure to comply with this section will be
        considered a material breach, and may result in immediate termination of
        the Agreement. This section does not otherwise affect terms and
        conditions regarding cancellations of, or changes to, orders that may
        exist in the Agreement or in any agreement with a Master Reseller.

    I.  Limited Warranty. Partner must provide a warranty to its End Users at
        least equivalent to the warranty provided by Sun. Partner agrees to
        indemnify Sun for any liability or damages caused by Partner's provision
        of any other warrant.

    J.  Failure to comply with any of the foregoing obligations will constitute
        a material breach of this Agreement.

7.  LIMITED WARRANTY
    7.1 Partner shall arrange for all End users to be notified that they will
    receive the following warranty ("the Warranty") directly from Sun. This
    Warranty will be included in Sun product packaging. The duration of the
    Warranty, applicable response times, start dates and other Warranty details
    are specified at http://channel.sun.com/service/globalwarranty/ ("the
    Warranty Web Page") and are applicable as at the date an order is accepted,
    or at End User's option, the Effective Date of this Agreement. Any
    subsequent changes to Warranty details specified on the Warranty Web Page
    will not apply to Products purchased by End Users prior to any change.
    Partner is responsible for notifying its end users that they will receive
    the following warranty ("The Warranty") directly from Sun.

    7.2  Subject to 7.1 above, Sun warrants that:
         (a) the Hardware will be free from defects in materials and
         workmanship.
         (b) The Software will be warranted either according to the warranty set
         set forth in 7.2 (c) below or the warranty set out at the Warranty Web-
         Page, whichever is greater, for such software specifically mentioned
         therein.
         (c) the media on which Software is furnished (if any) will, for a
         period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase, as evidenced by a
         copy of the receipt, be free from defects in materials and workmanship
         under normal use. Except for the foregoing, software is provided "AS
         IS".

    7.3  Partner's sole and exclusive remedy and Sun's entire liability for
    breach of the warranties specified in this Section 7, will be, at Sun's
    option, the repair, replacement of, or refund of the actual cost paid for
    the Products (less reasonable wear and

     tear) and/or to replace the media for Software or refund the associated
     license fee paid.

     7.4  This Warranty is contingent upon proper treatment and use of the
     Products and maintenance of a safe and suitable site. No warranty will
     apply to any Product that has been (i) modified, altered or adapted without
     Sun's written consent, (ii) maltreated or used in a manner other than in
     accordance with the Product manual or, (iii) repaired by any third party in
     a manner which fails to meet Sun's maintenance requirements and quality
     standards. Product problems attributable to the use of the Products with
     equipment or software not supplied or expressly approved by Sun are not
     covered under warranty. Any services provided for Product or problems which
     are out of warranty will be billed for on a time and materials basis.

8.   COMMERCIAL TERMS FOR PRODUCTS
     Prices and Discounts. For Products on Sun's then current, applicable U.S.
     Computer Systems Price List, Sun agrees to grant to Partner the following
     discounts when Partner purchases directly from Sun: thirty-two percent
     (32%) on Category A Product, twenty-five percent (25%) on Category B
     Products and seventeen percent (17%) on Category H Products. Such discounts
     will not apply to those Products which are listed as "non-discountable" in
     the appropriate price list, nor may they be applied to exceed any listed
     maximum discount. Such discounts will apply towards purchases of
     discountable spare parts, but such discounts will not apply to purchases of
     training, installation (except where included in the purchase price of the
     Products), consulting, repairs, maintenance work or similar services and
     source code license fees.

     Orders and Delivery. When Partner purchases direct from Sun, Partner shall
     submit purchase orders in writing or electronically via Sun's eCommerce
     site in accordance with the requirements defined on that site. Order
     acceptance will only be effective upon issuance of Sun's order
     acknowledgement. Each order must be for a minimum of five hundred dollars
     ($500.00) Sun will use reasonable efforts to meet target delivery dates
     identified on the order acknowledgement. Title to Products (except
     Software) and risk of loss or damage to Products will pass to Partner upon
     shipment, FOB Sun's Product Delivery Center. Sun reserves the right to make
     Product substitutions and modifications that do not cause a material
     adverse effect in overall Product performance.

     Rescheduling and Reconfiguration. Partner may, when purchasing direct from
     Sun, reschedule or reconfigure all or part of any specific orders once at
     no charge, as long as a "Change Purchase Order" is received by Sun at least
     thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled delivery date and the rescheduled
     delivery date is within sixty (60) days of the original date. If an order
     is rescheduled or reconfigured at Partner's request on any other basis, or
     if Sun rescheduled the order because Partner fails to meet an obligation
     under this Agreement, Sun may charge Partner a restocking fee equal to ten
     percent (10%) of the list price of the rescheduled or reconfigured portion
     of the order. If Partner refuses shipment at its requested delivery
     location, Sun may charge Partner a restocking fee of twenty-five percent
     (25%) of the list price of the shipment.

9.   ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASING RIGHTS
     Partner may receive an assignment of purchase rights from an approved third
     party when the third party receives a purchase order from its end user so
     that Partner may procure Product for said third party. A separate
     assignment agreement ("Assignment Agreement") must be signed by Sun,
     Partner and third party authorized signatories.

10.  TERM AND TERMINATION
     Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Equipment Exhibit Effective Date
     and shall remain in force until the date established according to the
     following schedule:
     Effective Date:                    Expiration Date:

     March 1 - August 31....................August 31
     September 1 - February 28..............February 28

     It shall be automatically renewed on an annual basis thereafter, unless at
     least thirty (30) days prior to any year's Expiration Date, Sun or Partner
     tenders Notice of Intention not to renew.

11.  STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
     No claim or action, regardless of form, arising out of this Agreement may
     be brought by either party more than two (2) years after the claim or cause
     of action has arisen, or in the case of non-payment, more than two (2)
     years from the date payment was due.

                         END USER OBJECT CODE LICENSE

SUN IS WILLING TO LICENSE THE OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE TO YOU ONLY UPON THE
CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.
READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE
SOFTWARE. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT
AUTHORIZED TO USE THE OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE.

1.   License to Use.  Customer is granted a non-exclusive and non-transferable
license ("License") for the use of the applicable SolarisR(TM) operating
system software in machine-readable form, together with accompanying
documentation ("Software"), by the number of users and with the class of
computer hardware for which the corresponding fee has been paid.

2.   License to Develop.  In the event that Customer desires to develop software
programs which incorporate portions of Software ("Developed Programs"), the
following provisions apply, to the extent applicable: Developed Programs are to
have an application programming interface that is the same as that of Software;
fonts within Software are to remain associated with their toolkit or server,
Developed Programs may be used and distributed, but only on computer equipment
licensed to utilize Solaris operating system software, unless an additional
Developer's License Agreement has been executed by Sun and Customer; Customer is
not licensed to develop printing applications or print, unless Customer has
secured a valid printing license; and Customer agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend Sun from and against any claims or suits, including
attorney's fees, which arise or result from distribution or use of Developed
Programs.

3.   Restrictions.  Software is copyrighted and title to all copies is retained
by Sun and/or its licensors. Customer shall not make copies of Software, other
than a single copy of Software for archival purposes and, if applicable,
Customer may, for its internal use only, print the number of copies of on-line
documentation for which the applicable fee has been paid, in which event all
proprietary rights notices on Software shall be reproduced and applied. Except
as specifically authorized in Paragraph 2 above, Customer shall not modify,
decompile, disassemble, decrypt, extract, or otherwise reverse engineer
Software, except to the extent any of the foregoing limitations are
unenforceable under applicable law. Software is not designed or licensed for use
in on-line control equipment in hazardous environments such as operation of
nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or control, or direct life support
machines.

4.   Confidentiality.  Software is confidential and proprietary information of
Sun and/or its licensors. Customer agrees to take adequate steps to protect
Software from unauthorized disclosure or use.

5.   Warranty.  Sun warrants that the media on which Software is furnished will
be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of
ninety (90) days from the date of purchase, as evidenced by a copy of the
receipt. Otherwise, Software is provided "AS IS," without a warranty of any
kind. This warranty extends only to Customer as the original licensee.
Customer's exclusive remedy and Sun's entire liability under this warranty will
be the correction of defects in media or replacement of the media, or, if
correction or replacement is not reasonably achievable by Sun, the refund to
Customer of the license fee paid, upon return of Software.

6.   Disclaimer of Warranty.  EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, ALL
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

7.   Limitation of Liability.  IN NO EVENT WILL SUN BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST
REVENUE, PROFIT OR DATA, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTIAL OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF SUN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event shall Sun's liability to Customer,
whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, exceed the
license fee paid by Customer for Software. The foregoing limitations shall apply
even if the above stated warranty fails of its essential purpose.

8.   Termination.  This License is effective until terminated. Customer may
terminate this License at any time by destroying all copies of Software
including any documentation. This License will terminate immediately without
notice from Sun if Customer fails to comply with any provision of this License.
Upon termination, Customer must destroy all copies of Software.

11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is made under, shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A.
excluding its choice of law provisions.

12.  Integration.  This Agreement is the entire agreement between Customer and
Sun relating to Software and: (i) supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral
or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to its
subject matter; and (ii) prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of
