Restrictions on Stored Materials.  Client will not at any time store with, or deliver any materials intended for destruction by means of shredding, to Company and/or Ricoh any materials which are highly flammable, explosive, toxic, radioactive, of a nature that they might attract vermin or insects, or which are otherwise illegal, dangerous or unsafe, or any material that is regulated under any federal or state law or regulation relating to the environment or hazardous materials.  Client warrants that it shall only place paper materials in shredding collection receptacles. Client shall indemnify Company and/or Ricoh for damage to Company’s and/or Ricoh’s property or injury to individuals resulting for Client’s breach of this warranty.  To the extent Client is packaging or delivering materials, Client will deliver all storage materials in a neat and orderly container, and stackable. Company and/or Ricoh reserve the right to replace and re-pack containers that are not in good condition or unable to be stacked in order to put the materials into proper condition for storage.  Container costs and labor costs to replace and re-pack will be billed to Client, at Company's standard published rates which Ricoh will pass through to Client.

4. Fees. Client shall pay Ricoh for fees related to the storage services as set forth in the SOW in accordance with the payment terms of the SOW.

5. Destruction of Useless Records.

6. Limitation on Filing of Actions. No action may be maintained against Company or Ricoh for loss damage, or destruction of Documents unless timely notice has been provided in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, and unless such action is commenced within the earlier of one (1) year after either: 1) the date of delivery or return of Documents to Client, or 2) the date the Client is notified of the loss, damage or destruction of Documents.

7.

Such orders may be given in person, by telephone or in writing (fax, electronically or hard-copy). If there is no authorization form, any Client representative will have authority to order any service and receive from Company the Client’s files, records, and computer media and information contained in such materials.  Unless Client instructs Company otherwise in writing, Client specifically instructs Company to leave Documents with Client representative who meets the Company courier, which Client representative may or may not be an Authorized Agent. Client represents and warrants that none of the Documents require protection from access by foreign persons because they contain technical information regarding defense articles or services within the meaning of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations  (22 CFR 120) or technical data within the meaning of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR 730-774). If any Documents do contain such information, Client shall notify Ricoh of the specific Documents and acknowledge that special storage and service rates shall apply thereto.

Value of Deposits and Liability in Event of Loss of Storage Deposits. Client declares, for the purposes of this Addendum, that 1) with respect to hard-copy (paper) records, microfilm and microfiche Documents stored pursuant to this Addendum, the value of such stored items is $2.00 per carton, linear foot of open-shelf files, container or other storage unit, and 2) with respect to round reel tape, audio tape, film, data tape, cartridges or cassettes (non-paper media) stored pursuant to this Addendum, the value of such stored items is equal to the cost of replacing the physical media.  Client acknowledges that it has declined to declare an excess valuation which an excess valuation fee would have been charged. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Ricoh’s liability, if any, for loss or destruction of, or damage to, Documents stored with Company is limited to the value of each Document as described above.  Company and Ricoh reserve the right to replace non-paper media for which liability is so limited rather than pay the replacement cost.  Client shall cause its insurers of Documents to waive any right of subrogation against Company or Ricoh.

Liability for Non-Storage Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Ricoh’s maximum liability with respect to services rendered by Company unrelated to storage (for which the provisions of Section 6.0 would apply), is one thousand dollars ($1,000). If Documents are placed in the custody of a third-party carrier for transportation, the carrier shall be solely responsible for any loss or destruction or, or damage to, such Documents while in the custody of the carrier.
