                  installed or used;
         E)       Any applicable site specifications for the Active Power

         writing and shall return a legible copy of the accepted Order to the
         POWERWARE; provided, however, that if an Order fails to provide all
         required ordering information or incorrectly states prices or other
         material information relative to the Order, or if the Order is not
         consistent with Active Power's then current lead time requirements,
         Active Power may reject the Order by promptly giving written notice of
         rejection stating in detail the reasons for rejection and the
         modifications necessary to make the Order acceptable to Active Power.

         additions or deletions to an Order without the prior written consent

         reasonable efforts to honor delivery dates, amounts and other ordering
         information shown on the Order, including supplemental provisions
         contained therein. The effective date of an Order shall be the date on
         POWERWARE receives an accepted copy of the Order without modification
         or amendment.


4.3      Survival of Orders. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to
         the contrary (and unless otherwise elected by Active Power in the case
         of termination of this Agreement for POWERWARE's breach), the terms and
         conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
         (with respect to the applicable Order) until the expiration of the term
         of any proper accepted Order under this Agreement which was received
         prior to the termination or other expiration of this Agreement,
         provided that the delivery date requested is within 90 days of
         termination or expiration of this Agreement. It is understood and
         agreed to by the parties hereto that the terms and conditions of this
         Agreement shall apply to all Orders hereunder with the exception of any
         nonstandard terms and conditions specifically applicable to the
         particular Order only that are conspicuously outlined on the face of
         the Order in variance herewith, subject to Active Power's right to
         reject any such Order containing terms and conditions varying from
         those contained herein.

4.4      No Agent Orders. This Agreement allows for orders to be issued only by
         POWERWARE. Active Power will not be required to accept orders directly
         from Agents of POWERWARE.

         agreed upon rolling 12-month forecast every 90 days. This shall be a
         non-binding forecast except that Active Power shall not be obligated to
         deliver more than 150% of the preliminary forecasted amount.

                  through Active Power, provided that POWERWARE and the End-User
                  shall duly perform its obligations hereunder.

         7.1.3    Active Power Products Warranty. It is understood and agreed
                  that all Active Power Equipment sold to End-Users pursuant to
                  this Agreement shall be warranted in accordance with the
                  Active Power Equipment warranty set-forth on the attached
                  Exhibit C, which shall be passed through and assigned to the
                  End-User, provided that in no event will the warranty extend
                  more than 18 months after shipment from Active Power.
                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it
                  is understood and agreed that POWERWARE shall have no
                  liability or responsibility what-so-ever with respect to the
                  warranties for the Active Power Equipment and Active Power
                  Software and that Active Power shall either directly or
                  through POWERWARE, support the End-Users with the respective
                  warranty services set-forth therein. POWERWARE shall not
                  expand, modify, or amend the warranties without the prior
                  written consent of Active Power.

         7.1.4    Notice of Warranty Period. When POWERWARE passes through
                  Active Power's warranty to an End-User as provided above,
                  POWERWARE agrees to notify the End-User of the actual warranty
                  period available to the End-User and the level of warranty
                  service and other details of warranty on any Active Power
                  Products sold by POWERWARE to and End-User, POWERWARE will
                  also notify an End-User if no Active Power warranty is passed
                  through.

         7.1.5    Infringement Warranty. Active Power warrants and represents
                  that the Active Power Products, including without limitation
                  each component and any unit or part thereof, are not subject
                  to any claim of infringement under any U.S. patent, trademark,
                  tradename, service mark, copyright, trade secret or other
                  proprietary right of any third party. In the event of a third
                  party claim against POWERWARE and/or the End-User asserting a
                  such a patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary
                  right violation involving the Active Power Products, Active
                  Power shall defend or settle the claim, at its expense, and
                  shall indemnify POWERWARE and/or the End-User against any
                  loss, cost, expense of liability resulting from or arising out
                  of payments to third parties due to the claim, whether or not
                  the claim is successful, provided that POWERWARE and/or the
                  End-User notifies Active Power in writing within sixty (60)
                  days after POWERWARE and/or the End-User first receives
                  written notice of the claim and gives Active Power necessary
                  authority, available information, and reasonable assistance
                  for the defense or settlement of the claim, over which Active
                  Power will have sole control. If the Active Power Products are
                  in Active Power's opinion likely to or do become the subject
                  of a claim of infringement or violation of a patent,
                  copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of a third
                  party, Active Power shall have the option to, at its expense
                  and without diminishing its foregoing obligations, either
                  procure for POWERWARE and/or the End-User the right to
                  continue using the Active Power Products or accept the return
                  of the Active Power Products and promptly refund to POWERWARE
                  and/or the End-User the original amount paid for the equipment
                  by POWERWARE and/or the End-User to Active Power with respect
                  to the Active Power Products so effected. Each party shall in
                  all events be


                  required to mitigate its damages. These warranties and
                  indemnities will survive the termination or expiration of this
                  Agreement and such indemnity is POWERWARE's sole remedy for
                  the types of issues referred to in this section. In the event
                  of any claim, demand or suit based upon an alleged breach of
                  any of Active Power's warranties under this 7.1.5 but subject
                  to the foregoing, POWERWARE will have the right to participate
                  in the defense of the same through counsel of POWERWARE'
                  choosing at its own expense, but no settlement will be
                  affected without Active Power's prior written consent, which
                  consent Active Power will not unreasonably withhold or delay.
                  Active Power and POWERWARE agree to notify each other promptly
                  of any third party claim, and further agree to fully cooperate
                  in the defense thereof.

         7.1.6    Maintenance Assistance. Active Power will provide
                  documentation to POWERWARE for purposes of providing
                  maintenance on Active Power products. Active Power will
                  provide this documentation in both written and electronic form
                  as well grant copyright reproduction of materials to POWERWARE
                  for said maintenance purposes. Active Power will also provide
                  free maintenance training classes to POWERWARE as set forth in
                  Exhibit F, and additional classes may be provided as requested
                  by POWERWARE at the then published training courses prices.

         7.1.7    Warranty Service. POWERWARE service personnel or
                  Powerware-authorized service providers shall provide all
                  warranty service for the Active Power Products sold by
                  POWERWARE. Active Power shall reimburse POWERWARE for agreed
                  upon expenses for labor, and Active Power's warranty shall
                  govern costs related to parts. Warranty service terms and
                  conditions are set forth in Exhibit G.

                  FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.


                          ARTICLE 9.0 - MISCELLANEOUS
                                        -------------

9.1      No Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a partnership
         or joint venture nor make either party the agent or representative of

         authority to bind the other, incur any liabilities on behalf of the
         other, nor to direct the employees of the other. Neither party shall
         have the authority to vary, alter or enlarge any of the other party's
         obligations hereunder or, except as otherwise provided herein, make
         representations, warranties or guarantees on behalf of the other.

9.2      Publicity. Each party shall use its best efforts not to disclose to any
         third party without the prior written consent of the other, the terms
         of this Agreement except as required by law or by governmental
         regulations, requirements or orders, or as may be necessary to
         establish or assert its rights hereunder and except on a confidential
         basis to a party's professional advisors and potential
         investors/acquirers. POWERWARE agrees to cooperate with Active Power in

9.3      Confidential Information. Each party agrees that if any confidential or
         proprietary information, which is clearly marked as being confidential
         or proprietary of the other party which comes into its possession, any
         such material and information will be held in confidence, and such
         party will not make any use thereof other than for the performance of
         this Agreement, will release it only to employees requiring such
         information, and will not release or disclose it to any other party.


         The foregoing will not apply to any information which is already known
         to or in the possession of the receiving party without restriction on
         disclosure at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, is
         independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the
         confidential information of the disclosing party, or is or becomes
         public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party. If either
         party is required by applicable law, rule, regulation or lawful order
         or ruling of any court, government agency or regulatory commission to
         disclose any confidential information of the other party, then the
         receiving party agrees that it will provide the disclosing party with
         prompt written notice of such request(s) to enable the disclosing party
         to seek an appropriate protective order or take steps to protect the
         confidentiality of such confidential information.

9.4      Limitation of Liability. Neither party shall be liable to the other for
         any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages, including,

         canceled by POWERWARE inside the 60 day scheduled delivery window
         without accompanying evidence of cancellation by POWERWARE's end user
         customer. Active Power will be entitled to the pro-rata share (based on
         total order value) of cancellation charges awarded to POWERWARE
         including all handling and restocking fees.

Contract No. AP-01-01                                                  EXHIBIT G

                       Warranty and Post-Warranty Service

Buyer's service personnel must successfully complete Supplier's certified
training course (administered by either Supplier or a certified CleanSource
Buyer trainer) in order to provide warranty support for the Product.

Supplier will reimburse Buyer at the following rates for warranty repair
performed on Supplier's Product. These rates assume Supplier's normal warranty
support, which is 8am CDT to 5pm CDT Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.



Travel Time and On-Site Labor- $90/hr Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
local time excluding holidays; $110/hr all other times.

Supplier will also reimburse Buyer for documented, customary and reasonable
expense incurred by Buyer on behalf of Supplier. Any disputed charges will be
resolved by the VP of Sales or Director of Field Services for Active Power and
the VP, Global Services or Director of Field Services for POWERWARE (this
Agreement assumes that typical travel labor would average less than 4 hours and
not include an overnight stay).

Warranty Parts -Supplier will provide warranty replacement Spare Parts at no
charge to Buyer during the warranty period. These Spare Parts will replace the
spare parts inventory purchased by Buyer per the attached Spare Parts list.
Buyer will purchase the initial stock of spare parts inventory at Supplier's
published list price less 35%. These Spare Parts should cover 95% of expected
repairs to all CleanSource models. Subsequent spare parts purchases will be
available to Buyer at Supplier's published list price less the discount granted
buyer on their hardware purchases. Upon receiving a Spare Part covered under
warranty and accompanied by the supporting documentation, (See attachment 1),
Supplier will provide a repaired, remanufactured or a Supplier approved Spare
Part to replace the Buyer's inventoried Spare Part. Buyer will be responsible
for the shipping of the affected Spare Part to the approved Supplier Parts
Center. Supplier will be responsible for the freight cost of the replacement
Spare Part to the Buyer logistic support center designated by Buyer. In warranty
cases requiring express shipping, Supplier will be responsible for the express
freight charges.

Warranty Service Escalation Plan- For any system down more than 48 hours and
being covered by the Supplier's Service Escalation Plan, Supplier technical
support coverage will be expanded to 24 hours per day 7 days per week for the
specific event. (See Attachment 2)

Supporting Warranty Documentation - summary of Field Activity Reports (attached
hereto as Exhibit G - Attachment 5) will be provided by Buyer's affiliate,
Buyer's global services unit to Supplier for its actual cost for providing
Supplier warranty services to Buyer Customers. Buyer's global services unit will
invoice Supplier for such costs. This must include documentation of specific
failures and summary information on the causes of such failures.


At any time during the warranty period with respect to each Product, Supplier
reserves the right to meet and confer, upon ten (10) days prior written notice
regarding the Buyer provided warranty service on each such Product if: in any
three (3) month period an uncorrected (i) repetitive problem occurs, (ii)


Buyer repair has been repeatedly done incorrectly and/or (iii) the expenses
incurred by Buyer to resolve or correct problems has been materially higher than
the average expense for the applicable problem. If, after meeting and
conferring, the parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of
the foregoing issues, then, upon ten (10) days prior written notice, Supplier
may assume future warranty obligations.

 Supplier's Warranty And Post Warranty Return Material Authorization Procedures
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before returning a Product for repair or replacement, Buyer must first contact
Supplier and obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The following
information must be supplied in order to obtain an RMA number:

         1.       Name of the Buyer's Customer
         2.       Serial number of the original Product
         3.       Shipment or delivery date
         4.       Description of the problem
         5.       Offsetting Order for replacement Product (if the Product is
                  approved for replacement)

Upon receipt of the RMA number, which will be supplied by Supplier before the
end of the next business day, Buyer or Buyer's Customer will return the Product
to Supplier or an authorized service center at Buyer's or Buyer's Customer's
expense. The RMA and Product serial number must be referenced on all
correspondence regarding the returned Product, as well as on the shipping
container or package and all shipping documents. Products returned without RMA
numbers or actual RMA authorization will not be accepted. All returned Products
must be properly and commercially reasonably packed. Supplier is not responsible
for damage to Products incurred in shipment or due to inadequate or improper
packaging. Supplier will promptly repair or replace any defective Product and
return the replacement or repaired Product to Buyer or Buyer's Customer (with
notice to Buyer) at Supplier's expense.
