Page: 188 / 208

Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be installed on a Machine which
is 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level
compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve
the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the
warranty service status of the removed part.

Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options,
alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.

You also agree to

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not

own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided

a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that IBM or

your reseller provides,

b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,

c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit them

to fulfil their obligations, and

d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location.

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM's possession or 2) in
transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.

Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal
information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You
should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.

Production Status

Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases, the Machine
may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine's production status,
IBM's appropriate warranty terms apply.

Limitation of Liability

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part or other liability, you are entitled to
recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to
claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract
or tort claim), IBM is liable for no more than

1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal

property; and

2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of U.S. $100,000 (or equivalent in

local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for the Machine that is the
subject of the claim.

This limit also applies to IBM's suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its
suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1)
THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE
UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR
RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR
FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS
OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF
