Warranty Information

[Revised: 11/11/2010]

This warranty applies to (a) products sold directly by Enfora, unless a different warranty is specified in a
written agreement between Enfora and the purchaser; and (b) products sold to end users through a
distributor authorized by Enfora, but only where the authorized distributor does not provide a separate
warranty on such products, and Enfora has agreed to provide this warranty to such end users. If you
purchased the product from an authorized distributor, please check whether this warranty from Enfora, or
a separate warranty from the distributor, applies to your purchase. This warranty does not apply to any (i)
accessories or batteries for the products; or (ii) demonstration samples or prototypes of the products.
Unless otherwise provided in a written agreement between Enfora and the purchaser, all such accessories,
batteries, samples or prototypes are provided by Enfora AS IS without any warranty of any kind.

Enfora warrants to the original purchaser of the product from Enfora or its authorized distributor (as
applicable) that, for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment of the product from Enfora, the
product hardware will be substantially free from defects in material or workmanship under normal
operation, and the product firmware will perform substantially in accordance with the product
documentation provided by Enfora. Enfora does not warrant that (a) the product hardware or firmware
will meet the purchaser's requirements; (b) the operation of the product hardware or firmware will be
uninterrupted or error-free; or (c) the product, when integrated in, or combined with, other products or
software not supplied by Enfora, will continue to perform substantially in accordance with the product
documentation. This limited warranty is for the benefit of the original purchaser, and is not transferable.

During the warranty period, Enfora, at its expense and in its sole discretion, will repair the product, or
replace the product with a corresponding or equivalent product, if it is determined to have a covered
defect, provided that the purchaser first notifies Enfora (directly or through its authorized distributor from
which the product was purchased) of any such defect, furnishes Enfora with a proof of purchase (if
required), requests and obtains a return merchandize authorization (RMA) number from Enfora, and
returns the product under that RMA to Enfora (or, at Enfora's option, to its authorized distributor), with the
shipping charges being prepaid by purchaser. If, upon reasonable examination of the returned product,
Enfora does not substantiate the defect claimed by purchaser, or determines that the defect is not covered
under this limited warranty, Enfora will not be required to repair or replace the product, but may instead
reship the product to the purchaser (or, at Enfora's option, to its authorized distributor where the product
can be made available to purchaser), in which case the purchaser shall be responsible for paying Enfora's
cost for reshipping the product to purchaser (or to Enfora's authorized distributor), and Enfora's usual
charges for unpacking, testing, and repacking the product for reshipment to purchaser (or to Enfora's
authorized distributor). Purchaser shall bear the risk of loss or damage in transit to any product returned
by purchaser to Enfora, or any returned product not found to be defective or covered under this warranty,
and reshipped by Enfora to purchaser (or to Enfora's authorized distributor). In the event Enfora repairs or

iii

replaces a defective product covered by this limited warranty, the repaired or replacement product will be
covered under this limited warranty for the remainder of the original warranty period on the defective
product, or a period of ninety (90) days, whichever is longer. If Enfora is unable to repair or replace a
defective product covered by this limited warranty, Enfora will provide to purchaser a credit or a refund
(at Enfora's option) of the original purchase price (excluding taxes and shipping charges). Any returned and
replaced product, or any product for which Enfora has furnished a credit or a refund, becomes the
property of Enfora.

Enfora shall not have any obligation to provide any firmware bug fixes, upgrades or new releases except as
may be necessary to correct any covered defect of which purchaser notifies Enfora in writing during the
warranty period. Enfora, from time to time and in its sole discretion, may make available for download on
its website (www.enfora.com), or may provide via email, certain firmware bug fixes, upgrades or new
releases for the product. Download and use of any such bug fixes, upgrades or new releases is subject to all
of the applicable terms and conditions of Enfora's technical support policy as posted and updated on its
website. Enfora shall have no obligation under this limited warranty for (a) normal wear and tear; (b) the
cost of procurement of substitute products; or (c) any defect that is (i) discovered by purchaser during the
warranty period but for which purchaser does not request an RMA number from Enfora, as required
above, until after the end of the warranty period, (ii) caused by any accident, misuse, abuse, improper
installation, handling or testing, or unauthorized repair or modification of the product, (iii) caused by use of
any materials not supplied by Enfora, or by use of the product other than in accordance with its
documentation, or (iv) the result of electrostatic discharge, electrical surge, fire, flood or similar causes.
The purchaser (or its customers, as applicable) shall be solely responsible for the proper configuration,
testing and verification of the Enfora product prior to deployment in the field, and for ensuring that any
end user product or system into which the Enfora product is integrated or incorporated operates as
intended and meets the requirements of purchaser (or its customers). Enfora shall have no responsibility
whatsoever for the integration, configuration, testing, verification, installation, upgrade, support or
maintenance of any such end user product or system, or for any liabilities, damages, costs or expenses
associated therewith.

ENFORA'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND PURCHASER'S SOLE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY

products sold in those jurisdictions the applicable warranty period shall be extended as required under the
laws of those jurisdictions. Furthermore, some jurisdictions may not allow the disclaimer of implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above disclaimer,
limitation or exclusion may not apply to products sold in those jurisdictions. This limited warranty gives the
purchaser specific legal rights and the purchaser may have other legal rights that vary from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction. This limited warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States of
America, without regard to conflict of laws principles. This limited warranty shall not be governed in any
respect by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

1.3 On-Board Diagnostics Overview

An On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system controls engine functions and serves as the diagnostic control
network of the vehicle. All cars built and sold in the United States since 1996 must be equipped with the
newer OBDII system. The Enfora MT 3050 connects to a vehicle's OBDII port and monitors the OBDII
system using a variety of communication protocols.

The MT 3050 can be configured to provide notification messages based on events triggered by:

l Accelerometer change
l Check engine light (MIL alert)
l Engine RPM
l GPS information
l Idle time
l Low fuel
l Trip Odometer (trip distance)
l Vehicle battery voltage (low battery warning)
l Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
l Vehicle speed
l Other events monitored by the OBDII system

Some vehicles are not compatible with the MT 3050. If the vehicle is not compatible
with the parameters the MT 3050 requires, then functionality may be limited,
problematic, or unavailable.

The SAE (Society of Automobile Engineers) 1979 standard defines the method for requesting diagnostics
data and provides a list of standard parameters from the engine control unit.

Compliance to this standard is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer, therefore Enfora cannot
guarantee performance of the MT 3050 with every vehicle.
