Airespace warrants that:

• For a period of one (1) year from the date of installation of the Product at the End Customer’s

site but not to exceed twenty-four (24) months after date of shipment by Airespace, the
Hardware shall free from defects in materials and workmanship.

• For a period of three (3) months from the date of installation of the Product but not to exceed

The date of shipment by Airespace is set forth on the packaging material in which the Product is
shipped. This limited warranty extends only to you the original purchaser of the Product.

Exclusive RemedyExclusive Remedy

Your sole remedy under the limited warranty described above is, at Airespace’s sole option and
expense, the repair or replacement of the non-conforming Product or refund of the purchase price of
the non-conforming Products. Airespace’s obligation under this limited warranty is subject to compli­ance with Airespace’s then-current Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) procedures. All replaced
Products will become the property of Airespace. Exchange Products not returned to Airespace will be
invoiced at full Product list prices. Replacement Products may be new, reconditioned or contain refur­bished materials. In connection with any warranty services hereunder, Airespace may in its sole
discretion modify the Product at no cost to you to improve its reliability or performance.

Warranty Claim ProceduresWarranty Claim Procedures

Should a Product fail to conform to the limited warranty during the applicable warranty period as
described above, Airespace must be notified during the applicable warranty period in order to have any
obligation under the limited warranty.

The End Customer or their designated reseller must obtain a Return Material Authorization number
(RMA number) from Airespace for the non-conforming Product and the non-conforming Product must
be returned to Airespace according to the then-current RMA procedures. The End Customer or their
designated reseller is responsible to ensure that the shipments are insured, with the transportation
charges prepaid and that the RMA number is clearly marked on the outside of the package. Airespace
will not accept collect shipments or those returned without an RMA number clearly visible on the
outside of the package.

Exclusions and RestrictionsExclusions and Restrictions

Airespace shall not be responsible for any software, firmware, information or memory data contained
in, stored on or integrated with any Product returned to Airespace pursuant to any warranty or repair.

Upon return of repaired or replaced Products by Airespace, the warranty with respect to such Products
will continue for the remaining unexpired warranty or sixty (60) days, whichever is longer. Airespace
may provide out-of-warranty repair for the Products at its then-prevailing repair rates.

10/10/03 Legal Information
90-100584-004 Airespace Product Guide iii

The limited warranty for the Product does not apply if, in the judgment of Airespace, the Product fails
due to damage from shipment, handling, storage, accident, abuse or misuse, or it has been used or
maintained in a manner not conforming to Product manual instructions, has been modified in any way,
or has had any Serial Number removed or defaced. Repair by anyone other than Airespace or an
approved agent will void this warranty.

EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT OR ANY PART
THEREOF, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY,

OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO END CUSTOMER. THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES END CUSTOMER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. END CUSTOMER MAY ALSO
HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE/JURISDICTION TO STATE/JURISDICTION.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL AIRESPACE OR ITS

third party to do any of the foregoing.

If Licensee is a European Union resident, Licensee acknowledges that information necessary to achieve interoperability of the Software

(c) Licensee may make a single copy of the Standalone Software and Documentation solely for its back-up purposes; provided

2. Ownership. Airespace or its suppliers own and shall retain all right, title and interest (including without limitation all intellectual
property rights), in and to the Licensed Materials and any Update, whether or not made by Airespace. Licensee acknowledges that the
licenses granted under this Agreement do not provide Licensee with title to or ownership of the Licensed Materials, but only a right of
limited use under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in Section 1, Airespace reserves all rights
and grants Licensee no licenses of any kind hereunder. All information or feedback provided by Licensee to Airespace with respect to

that any breach of this Section 3 or Section 1(b) is a material breach of this Agreement and any such breach would cause irreparable
harm to Airespace and its suppliers, entitling Airespace or its suppliers to injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies available at
law.

4. Limited Warranty & Disclaimer. Any limited warranty for the Licensed Materials and Airespace’s sole and exclusivity liability
thereunder is as set forth in Airespace’s standard warranty documentation. In addition, any limited warranty for the Software does
not apply to any component of the Software but only to the Software as a whole. EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES

States or other applicable countries, and not to transfer, or authorize the transfer of, directly or indirectly, the Software or any direct
product thereof to a prohibited country or otherwise in violation of any such restrictions or regulations. Licensee’s failure to comply

Libya, North Korea, Sudan or Syria or a party listed in the U.S. Table of Denial Orders or U.S. Treasury Department List of Specially
Designated Nationals.

7. Government Restricted Rights. As defined in FAR section 2.101, DFAR section 252.227-7014(a)(1) and DFAR section
