LIMITED WARRANTY

Butternut Manufacturing Co. warrants on the terms hereof, to a Customer who has

purchased a Product from a Seller, for a period of one year from the date of the

purchase, that the Product was not Defective, but this warranty is void if the Product

has been subjected to improper or abnormal installation or usage, or a serial number on

the Product has been defaced or removed.

If a Customer believes that a Product is Defective, the customer may, within such

one-year period, return the entire product to Butternut at Butternut's factory, all

shipping charges pre-paid by the Customer.  If the Product was Defective, Butternut

will at its option and expense repair or replace the Product and will at its expense

return the repaired or replaced Product to the customer, in a manner selected by

Butternut, at the address from which the Customer sent the Product to Butternut.

THE ABOVE WARRANTY AND REMEDY ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL

OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE.

NO SELLER WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, INCONVENIENCE OR DAMAGE,

INCLUDING DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

RESULTING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE A PRODUCT, WHETHER THE

LIABILITY WOULD RESULT FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR UNDER ANY OTHER

LEGAL THEORY.

For instance, this warranty does not cover damage to or caused by an antenna (a) by

reason of the antenna acting as a lighting rod, (b) by reason of corrosion or strain from

exposure of an antenna to wind or weather, (c) from improper assembly, installation or

use of an antenna, or (d) from failure periodically to inspect and maintain an antenna

and its installation.  The Customer is responsible to insure that installation and use of

an antenna complies with applicable laws (such as zoning laws) and regulations (such

as condominium regulations).

SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, AND IF

THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED

IN DURATION TO SUCH ONE-YEAR PERIOD.  NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND APPLY

AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Such repair or replacement is the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for a Defective

Product.  Specifically, Butternut is not liable (to the Customer or otherwise) for (a) any

loss or damage arising in any way from a Product or from actual or anticipated sale,

lease, license or use of a Product, or involving any matter such as interruption of

service, loss of business or anticipated profits, or delay in receiving, repairing, replacing

or returning a Product, or (b) any incidental, indirect, special or consequential

damages.

No other person (such as an employee, agent or dealer) is authorized to change this

warranty in any way, or to give any other warranties of any kind on behalf of

Butternut.  This warranty gives a Customer specific legal rights, and a Customer may

also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

As used herein the 

Customer

 is the initial end-use purchaser of a Product from a Seller,

Product

 is an antenna or accessory therefor manufactured by Butternut, a Product is

Defective

 if and only if the Product was not free of defects of material and

workmanship when manufactured, and a 

Seller

 is Butternut and any authorized

Butternut dealer.
