ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Applicability:

 The limited warranties set forth above are extended

only to the original owner at the original place of installation within the United

2. Components Manufactured by Others:

 Upon expiration of the one year

®

 II Boiler/Water Heater

for its intended purposed and its maintenance in accordance with U.S. Boiler
Co., Inc.’s recommendations and hydronics industry standards. These warran-
ties will be inapplicable if the Minuteman

®

 II Boiler/Water Heater is used or

operated over its rated capacity, is subjected to unauthorized modification, or is
damaged as a result of being otherwise improperly operated or serviced
including, but not limited to, damage from any of the following: operation with
insufficient water, allowing the boiler to freeze, subjecting the boiler to flood
conditions, and operation with unapproved water or fuel additives which cause
deposits or corrosion.

5. Removal and Installation:

 These warranties do not cover expenses of

loss of time. U.S. Boiler Co., Inc.’s liability under these warranties shall under no
circumstances exceed the purchase price paid by the owner for the Minuteman

®

 II Boiler/

CAST IRON HEAT EXCHANGER IN A MINUTEMAN

®

 II BOILER/WATER

HEATER SHALL EXTEND TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR THE LIFETIME OF
THE ORIGINAL OWNER AT THE ORIGINAL PLACE OF INSTALLATION. Some
states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitation may not apply to you.

PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE

In order to assure prompt warranty service, the owner is requested to

complete and mail the attached Warranty Card within ten days after the
installation of the boiler, although failure to comply with this request will not void
the owner’s rights under these warranties.

Upon discovery of a condition believed to be related to a defect in material or

workmanship covered by these warranties, the owner should notify the installer
who will in turn notify the distributor, if this action is not possible or does not
produce a prompt response, the owner should write to: Burnham Hydronics,
P.O. Box 3079, Lancaster, PA 17604, giving full particulars in support of this
claim.

The owner is required to make available for inspection by

U.S. Boiler Co., Inc. or its representative the parts claimed to be defective and,
if requested by U.S. Boiler Co., Inc., to ship these parts prepaid to Burnham
Hydronics at the above address for inspection or repair. In addition, the owner
agrees to make all reasonable efforts to settle any disagreement arising with a
claim before resorting to legal remedies in the courts.

THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY

ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
