CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SALE OF CHECK DESCRIBED ON REVERSE SIDE HEREOF

The Purchaser agrees that the issuance and sale by Manufacturers Trust Company (hereinafter called "Trust Company") of the check described on the reverse side hereof, is subject to the following terms and conditions and the Trust Company assumes no obligation or undertaking except those expressly set forth therein.

The Trust Company assumes no responsibility beyond making available to the Drawee, funds or credits for the payment of the check and the Trust Company shall not be responsible for insolvency of the Drawee, or errors, delays, omissions or defaults of the Drawee, its agents, or subagents, including payment to one other than the payee or his endorsee because of erroneous identification or to one whose title to the check is defective, or failure of the funds to reach the payee of the check. Neither the Trust Company nor the Drawee shall be responsible for nonpayment of the check or loss or damage by reason of or resulting from errors, delays, omissions or defaults in transmission or receipt of any communication; declared or undeclared war, censorship, blockade, insurrection, civil commotion; any law, decree, regulation, control or act of any public authority or domestic or foreign government, de jure or de facto, or any agency thereof, whether rightfully or wrongfully exercised; or for any cause beyond the Trust Company's and the Drawee's control, all of which risks are assumed by the Purchaser.

In the event of nonpayment by the Drawee for any reason the Trust Company shall not be obligated to make any refund unless and until it shall receive the original check or any duplicate, if issued, duly endorsed. By presenting the check for refund the Purchaser warrants to the Trust Company that the Purchaser has title to the check and that the endorsements thereon are genuine. If the original check cannot be produced the Trust Company will make no refund unless it receives proof that the check has not been paid, that the Drawee stopped payment thereof and that the funds or credits provided for the payment of the check have been made freely available to the Trust Company, as well as a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Company. In making a refund the Trust Company shall have the option of either paying to the Purchaser in United States dollars at the Trust Company's buying rate in New York at the time of the refund for the amount and type of currency received by the Trust Company from, or credited to the Trust Company's account, by the Drawee; or instructing the Drawee to hold the said currency for the account and risk of the holder of the check. The Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the Trust Company's and the Drawee's charges not theretofore paid and the Trust Company may deduct the same from the amount of any refund.

This agreement may not be changed, modified or discharged orally.
