Claim Process

Rapid Exchange: L-Series, M1500, M1800, SuperLoader3, ValueLoader and SuperLoader Warranty Claims

For Products that require repair during the term of this Limited Warranty, Quantum will arrange for shipment of a replacement Product or Part
at Quantum’s discretion on a Rapid Exchange basis. The target ship date of the Rapid Exchange Product or Part is two (2) business days
after receipt of the call.

Rapid Exchange Products or Parts will be provided by contacting the Quantum Customer Support Center who will:

(i) Diagnose the problem
(ii) Ship a replacement Product or Part to the End User
(iii) Issue a Return Authorization (RA) Number.

Rapid Exchange shipments require the customer to provide Quantum with a credit card hold or another form of Quantum-specified collateral
for security purposes. Once the defective Product or Part is received by Quantum, the hold/deposit will be released. If a credit card or
another form of Quantum-specified collateral is not provided, then the replacement product cannot be sent until defective product has been
received by Quantum. In the event the defective Product or Part is not received by Quantum within fourteen (14) business days after the
customer has received a replacement Product or Part, Quantum will convert the hold/deposit to a charge. The requestor is responsible for the
full retail value of the missing Product or Part. Additionally, the warranty will be void on the Product or Part that Quantum shipped out as part
of the Rapid Exchange Program AND the Product or Part that was not returned. The defective Product or Part must be returned to a
Quantum -specified receiving location with the RA number clearly indicated on the ou tside of the shipping package. Replacement Products or
Parts shall be furnished on an exchange basis and may be either new or reco nditioned as new.

Removal, shipment to Quantum shipping insurance and loss or damage of the failed Product or Part, as well as the installation and
configuration of the replac ement Product or Part is the responsibility of the End User. The customer may choose an on-site field call at the
then-current price for removal and installation of the replacement Product or Part. Products, Parts and Repairs shipped to the End User by
Quantum, shall be freight prepaid by Quantum. Responsibility for loss or damage shall be on Quantum. Quantum shall not be responsible for
any handling fees, import duties or tariffs, or delays as a result of customs.

Next Day Response: PX500-Series, PX720, DX30, DX100, M1800, M2500 and Dinostor TapeServer Warranty Claims

For Products that require repair during the term of this Limited Warranty, Quantum will dispatch a Field Service Engineer the following
business day after receipt of your call. Calls received after 1:00 P. M. local time may be responded to on the second business day. Next
business day response times are subject to End User location, End User availability, parts availability and resource availability

products. It uses diagnostic data to predict possible failures and determine whether or not the problem involves a Quantum product or other
critical component in the customer’s backup environment.

E xchange for customer replaceable units after technical support determination of unit failure. Rapid Exchange is shipment of parts within two
