Software Warranty

Bio-Rad Laboratories warrants that Bio-Plex Manager™ software shall
substantially conform, in all operational features, to Bio-Rad's current
specifications as published in Bio-Rad's user and installation guides and that,
when properly installed, it will be free of material defects which affect system
performance.

The Purchaser must notify Bio-Rad in writing, within 30 days of delivery of the
software (not including delivery of any subsequent modifications to the software),
of any defect. If the software is found to be defective by Bio-Rad, Bio-Rad's sole
obligation under this warranty is to remedy the defect in a manner consistent with
Bio-Rad's regular business practices. For a defect which adversely affects the
performance of the software, Bio-Rad shall use its best efforts to cure such defect
as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of Purchaser's notice. For minor
defects, Bio-Rad shall use its best efforts to correct such minor defects in the next
release of its software. If, however, Bio-Rad is unable to cure a major defect within
90 days of receipt of Purchaser's notice, Purchaser shall have the option to cancel
this agreement, whereupon Bio-Rad shall refund only the software fees paid.

The warranties set forth in this agreement are in lieu of all other representations
and warranties, expressed or implied, including warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose and any other statutory or common-law warranty.
Bio-Rad on its own behalf expressly disclaims and excludes any and all such
other representations and warranties. Liability of Bio-Rad to Purchaser, if any, for
breach of warranty, or any other claim relating to this agreement, shall be limited to
the total amount of software fees paid by Purchaser to Bio-Rad. In no event shall
Bio-Rad be liable for incidental or consequential damages, loss of business or
profits, special or indirect damages of any nature whatsoever. No amendment,
waiver, or other alteration of the warranties in this agreement may be made except
by mutual agreement in writing.

Purchaser agrees that Bio-Rad's liability arising out of contract, negligence, strict
liability in tort or warranty shall not exceed the amount of software license fees
paid by Purchaser.
