PATENTED MONSTER CLEAN POWER™ FILTERING

Monster Clean Power filters dramatically reduce electromagnetic and radio frequency interference caused by
common household electronics such as lights, refrigerators, radios, and other appliances. Your home theater’s AV
electronics also generate a significant amount of electronic noise. Clean Power filters counter this by isolating your AV
electronics from each other to reduce cross-component interference.

Monster PowerCenters featuring Clean Power each have a designated Clean Power stage from 1 to 5. The higher
the Clean Power stage number, the more advanced the filters are that reject electronic noise on your AC power line.
In addition, the higher the Clean Power stage, the higher the level of isolation between connected AV components
to minimize cross-component noise interference.

The HTUPS 2700 features Monster HD Clean Power Stage 2 circuitry which features two ultra-advanced isolated noise
filters that are optimized for high definition digital video and ultra-high current audio components such as HDTVs and
digital surround sound receivers.

PATENTED MONSTER T2

™

SURGE PROTECTION

T2 is microprocessor-controlled circuit that works together with the PowerCenter’s surge-absorbing MOVs (Metal Oxide
Varistors) and thermal fuses. T2 actively monitors the line, neutral, and ground power lines for electrical surges, dips, and
spikes and automatically disconnects the PowerCenter and your AV equipment from AC power when it detects a dangerous
sustained power dip or surge (continuous voltage below 80Vrms or above 135Vrms).

T2 keeps the PowerCenter shut down for 15 seconds and continues to monitor power conditions. If power conditions
remain potentially damaging, T2 keeps the PowerCenter shut down, keeping your AV equipment and the PowerCenter itself
protected. When power conditions return to safe, normal levels, T2 reconnects the PowerCenter and your AV components
to the electricity. This extends the PowerCenter’s life, while providing advanced the surge protection your home theater
system needs.

“Warranty Period” means the time period during which Monster must have received Your Formal Warranty Claim. The

different Warranty Periods related to Product Defects and Connected Equipment Damage are defined in the Specifications
Table below. The Warranty Period commences on the date when You purchased or received (whichever occurs later) the
Product from an Authorized Dealer as evidenced by the Authorized Dealer’s invoice, sales receipt or packing slip. If You do not
have written proof of the date of purchase or receipt, then the Warranty Period commences three (3) months after the date
when the Product left Monster’s factory as evidenced by Monster’s records. The Warranty Period ends after the time defined
in the Specifications Table has expired, or after You have transferred ownership of the Product, whichever occurs earlier. Also,
You must call Monster and obtain a Return Authorization Number (as described under “How to Make a Claim”) within two
(2) months after You discover a Product Defect (or should have discovered it, if such Product Defect was obvious).

“You” means the first individual person that purchased the Product in its original packaging from an Authorized Dealer. This
Limited Warranty does not apply to persons or entities that bought the Product (i) in used or unpackaged form, (ii) for resale,
lease or other commercial use, or (iii) from someone other than an Authorized Dealer.

SCOPE OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY

PRODUCTS. If a Product contained a Product Defect when You bought it from an Authorized Dealer and Monster

receives a Formal Warranty Claim from You within two (2) months after You discover such Product Defect (or should
have discovered it, if such Product Defect was obvious) and before the end of the Warranty Period for Product Defects
applicable to the affected Product, then Monster will provide You with one of the following remedies: Monster will
(1) repair or, at Monster’s sole discretion, replace the Product, or (2) refund to You the purchase price You paid to
the Authorized Dealer for the affected Product if repair or replacement is not commercially practicable or cannot be
timely made.

CONNECTED EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. Monster will also provide You with a remedy regarding Connected Equipment
Damage if (i) You have a claim under the Limited Warranty for Products because of a Product Defect that causes
Connected Equipment Damage despite Adequate Use, and (ii) Monster receives a Formal Warranty Claim from You
before the end of the Warranty Period for Connected Equipment Damage applicable to the affected Product. If the

24

conditions listed in the preceding sentence are met, Monster will provide You with one of the following remedies
provided that Monster may decide at its sole discretion which of the three remedies it provides: Monster will (1) replace
the damaged Connected Equipment; (2) pay to repair the damaged Connected Equipment; or (3) pay You the FMV of
the Connected Equipment, provided that such payments shall not exceed (i) the Maximum Coverage Amount for the
Product, or (ii) the actual damage having arisen from power surges due to a Product Defect. NOTE: COMPENSATION
FOR RESTORATION OF DATA LOSS IS NOT COVERED AND MONSTER DOES NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION
OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

OTHER RIGHTS. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
