3. Limited warranty. Bay Networks warrants each item of Software, as delivered by Bay Networks and
properly installed and operated on Bay Networks hardware or other equipment it is originally licensed for,
to function substantially as described in its accompanying user manual during its warranty period, which
begins on the date Software is first shipped to Licensee. If any item of Software fails to so function during
its warranty period, as the sole remedy Bay Networks will at its discretion provide a suitable fix, patch, or
workaround for the problem that may be included in a future Software release. Bay Networks further
warrants to Licensee that the media on which the Software is provided will be free from defects in
materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of 90 days from the date Software is first
shipped to Licensee. Bay Networks will replace defective media at no charge if it is returned to Bay

apply if the media has been damaged as a result of accident, misuse, or abuse. The Licensee assumes all
responsibility for selection of the Software to achieve Licensee’s intended results and for the installation,
use, and results obtained from the Software. Bay Networks does not warrant a) that the functions

be uninterrupted or error free, or d) that all defects in the operation of the Software will be corrected. Bay
Networks is not obligated to remedy any Software defect that cannot be reproduced with the latest

Networks or in accordance with its instructions; (ii) used in conjunction with another vendor’s product,
resulting in the defect; or (iii) damaged by improper environment, abuse, misuse, accident, or negligence.
