products owned by third parties and provided hereunder.    
 
16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.   NOTWITHSTANDING 
ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, 
THE LIABILITY OF SELLER UNDER THESE TERMS AND 
CONDITIONS (WHETHER BY REASON OF BREACH OF 
CONTRACT, TORT, INDEMNIFICATION, OR 
OTHERWISE, BUT EXCLUDING LIABILITY OF SELLER 
FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY (THE SOLE REMEDY FOR 
WHICH SHALL BE AS PROVIDED UNDER SECTION 13 
ABOVE)) SHALL NOT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO 
THE LESSER OF (A) THE TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE 
THERETOFORE PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER WITH 
RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT(s) GIVING RISE TO SUCH 
LIABILITY OR (B) ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS 
($100,000). NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE 
CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL 
SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL,

LOSS OF GOODWILL), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER 
SELLER (a) HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY 
OF SUCH DAMAGES OR (b) IS NEGLIGENT.    
 
17. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS.   Buyer acknowledges that 
each Product and any related software and technology, 
including technical information supplied by Seller or 
contained in documents (collectively “Items”), is subject to 
export controls of the U.S. government.  The export controls 
may include, but are not limited to, those of the Export 
Administration Regulations of the U.S. Department of 
Commerce (the “EAR”), which may restrict or require 
licenses for the export of Items from the United States and 
their re-export from other countries.Buyer shall comply with 
the EAR and all other applicable laws, regulations, laws, 
treaties, and agreements relating to the export, re-export, 
and import of any Item.   Buyer shall not, without first 
obtaining the required license to do so from the appropriate 
U.S. government agency; (i) export or re-export any Item, or 
(ii) export, re-export, distribute or supply any Item to any 
restricted or embargoed country or to a person or entity 
whose privilege to participate in exports has been denied or 
restricted by the U.S. government. Buyer shall cooperate 
fully with Seller in any official or unofficial audit or inspection 
related to applicable export or import control laws or 
regulations, and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless 
from, or in connection with, any violation of this Section by 
Buyer or its employees, consultants, agents, or customers.    
 
18. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Some Products may 
require special labeling and handling.  Carriers may add 
additional freight charges for handling/transporting these 
materials. Consolidating such material with other products 
may be prohibited.  Additional freight charges will be billed 
per Seller's shipping terms.  Be sure to advise Seller of 
shipping instructions for these hazardous materials to 
reduce your freight costs.    
 

19. MISCELLANEOUS.   (a) Buyer may not delegate any 
duties nor assign any rights or claims hereunder without 
Seller's prior written consent, and any such attempted 
delegation or assignment shall be void.  (b) The rights and 
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by 
and construed in accordance with the laws of the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without reference to its

courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, in any 
action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and waives 
any other venue to which it may be entitled by domicile or 
otherwise.  (c) In the event of any legal proceeding between 
the Seller and Buyer relating to this Agreement, neither 
party may claim the right to a trial by jury, and both parties
