| DOC software is provided with no support and without any obligation on the |

| for DOC software, however. DOC software is Y2K-compliant, as long as the |
| underlying OS platform is Y2K-compliant. Likewise, DOC software is compliant |
| with the new US daylight savings rule passed by Congress as "The Energy Policy |
| Act of 2005," which established new daylight savings times (DST) rules for the |
| United States that expand DST as of March 2007. Since DOC software obtains |
| time/date and calendaring information from operating systems users will not be |
| affected by the new DST rules as long as they upgrade their operating systems |
| accordingly. |
