inventory at Buyer's expense, to include the cost of IBM labor
at the then applicable rates plus incidental travel expenses.
Buyer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain access for IBM to
install or cause to be installed such Mandatory Engineering
Changes on all Products sold or leased by Buyer, its Related
Companies and Resellers. At IBM's option, such service may be

installation of a Mandatory Engineering Change, Buyer will
return those parts to IBM within ninety (90) days after
