5.0       WARRANTY

5.1       Seller hereby warrants that for [...* * *...] months from the date of
          Seller's shipment of Product(s) and Spares, that all such Product(s)
          and Spares shall be free from defects in material or workmanship and
          shall conform to applicable Purchase Specifications (Exhibit D) which
          references this Agreement. Seller further represents and warrants that
          Product(s) and Spares purchased hereunder shall (i) vest in Buyers
          good and valid title to such Product(s) and Spares which is free and
          clear of all liens, security interests, and encumbrances.
          [...* * *...], in accordance with Subsection 5.2 below. The foregoing
          warranties do not apply to any Product or Spare that (a) has been
          altered except by Seller, (b) has been improperly handled, installed,
          operated or packaged, or (c) has been damaged by accident, misuse,
          negligence or external factors.

5.2       Spares may be assemblies or Products refurbished to Like New Condition
          and may contain used parts. [...* * *...]

5.3       CND (Can Not Duplicate) shall mean any Product that has been returned
          to Seller as defective, but after comprehensive analysis and testing,

          the number of CND Products returned by Buyer exceeds [...* * *...],
          Buyer and Seller will immediately jointly investigate and use
          commercially reasonable efforts to quickly resolve the source of the
          CND activity. Seller agrees to provide Buyer commercially reasonable
          field maintenance information on Product [...* * *...] for purposes of
          minimizing Seller's CND performance for Products and Spares. CND
          metric does not apply until completion. Seller reserves the right to
          submit claims to Buyer for reasonable reimbursement of Seller's
          expenses associated with CND expenses resulting from Buyer's inability
          to resolve prolonged and sustained CND issues in a timely manner.

5.4       Upon the (i) discovery of a defect in material or workmanship in any
          Product or Spare during the warranty period, or (ii) discovery of a
          Product or Spare that is not in compliance with the Purchase
          Specifications (Exhibit D) during the warranty period, Buyer may at
          its option, if such defect or non-conformity is identified after the
          Product or Spare is Shipped to Buyer's customer, pursue the remedies
          described in Section 26.2 of this Agreement. If the defect or
          non-conformity is identified before Product or Spare is shipped to
          Buyer's customer, in addition to Buyer's pursuit of remedies described
          in Section 26.2 of this Agreement, Buyer may [...* * *...]

5.5       In no event will either party be responsible to the other for any
          incidental or consequential damages arising out of this warranty.
          However, nothing herein shall be deemed an assumption by either party
          of liability incurred by the other party in contract or at law, with
          regard to any third-party claims. The remedies set forth in this
          Section 5 and Section 26.2 shall be Buyer's sole and exclusive
          remedies in the event of a breach of the warranties related to the
          Products or Spares. The Seller's warranties provided in this Agreement
          are provided to Buyer only and not to any other person.

5.6       Seller warrants that Seller has not previously or otherwise granted
          any rights related to Products to any third party which conflict with
          the rights granted herein; as of the Effective Date, that there is no
          violation, litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding pending or
          related to Products before any court or any other governmental or
          administrative agency; as of the Effective Date that no judgment,
          order, injunction, or decree of any court or governmental or

          Seller; and that Seller has the full power and authority to enter into
          this Agreement, to carry out its obligation set forth herein.

6.0       INDEMNIFICATION AND REMEDIES

6.1       Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its
          Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders,
          customers and employees ("Buyer Indemnified Parties") from and against
          any and all third party claims, demands, suits, actions, judgments,
          costs and liabilities, including attorneys' fees, (each, an
          "Indemnified Loss") relating to or arising out of any [...* * *...],
          and shall pay all costs and damages awarded; provided, the foregoing
          indemnity shall not apply to the extent that any such claim
          [...* * *...]

          In the event one party (the "Indemnifying Party") is obligated to
          indemnify the other party (the "Indemnified Party") under this
          Agreement, the Indemnified Party will as soon as is reasonably
          practicable provide the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice
          of any claim for which indemnification is required, tender the defense
          of any such claim to the Indemnifying Party, provide full cooperation
          for such defense at the Indemnifying Party's expense, and not settle
          without the Indemnifying Party's prior written approval, not to be
          unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party may participate in any
          such defense or settlement with counsel of its own choosing at its
          expense; provided that the Indemnifying Party controls the defense or
          settlement negotiations. Failure by Indemnified Party to notify
          Indemnifying Party as required above shall not diminish Indemnifying
          Party's indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent any
          Indemnified Party 's delay in notifying Seller prejudices Indemnifying
          Party's defense of such matter.

          If an injunction or exclusion order preventing the use, sale, lease
          license, or other distribution of the Product or Spares or any part
          thereof results from such a claim (or, if Seller reasonably believes
          such an injunction is likely) Seller may, at its expense, use
          commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Buyer the right to
          continue using the Product or Spares or modify the Product or Spares
          so that they are not infringing. In the event that Seller elects not
          to, or cannot obtain such right for Buyer or cannot modify such
          Product or Spares, Seller may either cease making such Product or
          Spares subject to such injunction or exclusion order available for
          Buyer's purchase or terminate this Agreement. In either case,
          [...* * *...] The foregoing sets forth Buyer's sole and exclusive
          remedy with respect to claims of infringement of third party
          intellectual property rights.

6.2       Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Buyer, its officers,
          directors, and employees harmless from and against any and all claims
          alleging property damage, personal injury or death, and any losses,
          expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), demands, or judgments
          related thereto ("Claims") which result from or arise out of:

          a.)  The presence of Seller's agents, employees or subcontractors
               (Personnel), or equipment on the property of Buyer or its
               customers; or

          c.)  The use by Seller or its Personnel of Buyer's equipment, tools or

23.2      If Seller delivers Product(s), Spares, and/or Services more than two
          (2) business days in advance of the On-dock Date, Buyer may, at its
          option, (i) return such Product(s) and/or Spares to Seller at Seller's
          risk and expense including, but not limited to, any transportation,
          import, or export related expenses or duties, (in which case Seller,

          on the correct On-dock Date); or (ii) retain such Product(s) and/or
          Spares and make payment on the date payment that would have been due

          other remedy available to Buyer, at law or in equity, consistent with
          the terms of this Agreement.

          be made by Buyer's authorized purchasing representatives, as specified
          by Buyer. Buyer may, without cost or liability, issue Change Orders
          for Product(s) or Spares quantities and schedule dates. Seller shall
          send Buyer a written confirmation thereof within seven (7) Business
          Days of Seller's receipt of said Change Order and Buyer shall provide
          Seller with an Order confirming such change within seven (7) Business
          Days of receiving Seller's confirmation.

23.5      Buyer may measure Seller's On Time Delivery performance against
          Seller's delivery commitments for the purpose of establishing Seller's
          rate of improvement for On Time Delivery, Lead-Time, and cycle time
          against Buyer's requirements for the same. Lead-Times for all Products
          ordered hereunder shall not exceed that listed in the Product Pricing
          Schedule (Exhibit F) attached hereto. Seller shall provide Buyer with
          quarterly status reports on Seller's manufacturing cycle times.

          agreed upon logistics solution. Buyer may add, change or delete Hub
          providers with written notice to Seller and providing commercially
          reasonable lead time for implementation of change, such changes will
          not require formal amendment to Agreement or any Attachment or
          Exhibit.

          subdivision thereof; Seller will not unreasonably withhold its
          approval of Buyer requested changes.
