immediately enter into a Rider designating the replacement
computer as the Computer authorized by this Agreement.

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE MADE BY DLB.

OMISSIONS SHALL BE AS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH 10. IN NO
EVENT WILL DLB BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR
