any surety, make changes or additions in or to drawings, designs, specifications,
instructions for work, method of shipment or packing, or place of delivery;

shall notify Warner Linear in writing immediately and an appropriate
equitable adjustment will be made in the price, or time of delivery,
or both, by written modification of the contract. Seller's failure to

of such claim.
17. CANCELLATION:
(a) All shipping or delivery dates in this order are firm. Time is of
the essence in the performance of this order, and no acts of Warner
Linear shall constitute a waiver of this provision. (b) Warner Linear,
without waiving any other rights, reserves the right to cancel this
order, in whole or in part, by written or telegraphic notice, without
liability, except for goods previously delivered and accepted. Subject
to setoff of any claim Warner Linear may have against Seller, if:
(1) Seller fails to deliver or perform as specified, or if Seller breaches
any of the terms and conditions or warranties hereof: or (2) Seller
ceases to conduct its operations in the normal course of business (including
inability to meet its obligations as they mature), or any proceeding
is brought against or instituted by Seller under bankruptcy or insolvency
laws, or a receiver for Seller is appointed or applied for, or an assignment
for the benefit or creditors is made by Seller.
(c) Warner Linear may, at any time, terminate this order, in whole
or in part, for its convenience upon written or telegraphic notice to
the Seller, in which event, upon receipt of such notices, unless otherwise
directed by Warner Linear, Seller shall immediately discontinue all
work and the filling of orders for materials and supplies in connection
with the performance of this purchase order, and shall proceed to cancel
promptly all orders outstanding; and Warner Linear shall negotiate
with the Seller an amount to be paid in full settlement for the reasonable
and necessary expenses incurred directly incident to this order up to
the date of cancellation. Warner Linear, however, shall not be liable

if any, received by Warner Linear from the government on account of
termination of its contract is attributable to this order.
