Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (BT) will at its sole option, either repair or replace (with a new or factory reconditioned product,
as BT may determine) any product manufactured by BT which proves to be defective in materials or workmanship or fails to
meet the specifications which are in effect on the date of shipment or such other specifications as may have been expressly
agreed upon in writing (i) for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase (or such shorter period of time as may
be set forth in the license agreement specific to the particular software being licensed), with respect to iCentral™ (hardware and
software) and all other software products (including embedded software) licensed from BT, (ii)) for a period of one (1) year from

VideoCipher® & DigiCipher® satellite receivers, and (iii) for a period of three (3) years from the date of original purchase, with
respect to all other BT products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases, the warranty on certain proprietary sub-assembly
modules manufactured by third party vendors and contained in BT products and on certain private-label products manufactured
by third parties for resale by BT are of shorter duration or otherwise more limited than the standard BT limited warranty. In such
cases, BT’s warranty with respect to such third party proprietary sub-assembly modules and private-label products will be limited
to the duration and other terms of such third party vendor’s warranty. In addition, certain products, that are not manufactured
but are resold by BT, carry the original OEM warranty for that product. The limited warranty set forth in this paragraph does not
apply to any product sold by BT, which at the time of sale constituted a Closeout Product.

sold by BT which at the time of sale constituted a refurbished or closeout items (“Refurbished Product” and “Closeout Product”),

shipment or such other specifications as may have been expressly agreed upon in writing, for a period of ninety (90) days from
the date of original purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases, the warranty on third party software and on certain
proprietary sub-assembly modules manufactured by third party vendors and contained in BT products and on certain private-
label products manufactured by third parties for resale by BT are of shorter duration or otherwise more limited than the BT limited
warranty for Closeout Products. In such cases, BT’s warranty for Closeout Products constituting such third party software, third
party proprietary sub-assembly modules and private-label products will be limited to the duration and other terms of such third
party vendor’s warranty. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) certain Closeout Products that are not manufactured (but
are resold) by BT, carry the original OEM warranty for such products, which may be longer or shorter than the BT limited warranty
for Refurbished or Closeout Products. All sales of Refurbished or Closeout Products are final.
To obtain service under this warranty, the defective product, together with a copy of the sales receipt or other satisfactory proof
of purchase and a brief description of the defect, must be shipped freight prepaid to: Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc., One Jake
Brown Road, Old Bridge, New Jersey 08857.

written instructions, (ii) disassembly or repair by someone other than the manufacturer or a manufacturer-authorized repair
center, (iii) misuse, misapplication or abuse, (iv) alteration, (v) lack of reasonable care or (vi) wind, ice, snow, rain, lightning, or

shipment or such other specifications as may have been expressly agreed upon in writing: (i) for a period of three (3) years from the date of original purchase for all
stock hardware products (other than those specifically referenced herein below having a shorter warranty period); (ii) for a period of one (1) year from the date of
original purchase, with respect to all MegaPort™, IPTV products, test equipment and fiber optics receivers, transmitters, couplers and integrated receiver/distribution

products and accessories, such as parts, sub-assemblies, splitters and all other products sold by Seller (other than Core Product Software and Refurbished/Closeout
Products) not otherwise referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above. The warranty period for computer programs in machine-readable form included in a hardware
product, which are essential for the functionality thereof as specifically stated in the published product specifications (“
Core Product Software ”) will be coincident
with the warranty period of the applicable hardware product within which such Core Product Software is installed.
Software patches, bug fixes, updates or workarounds do not extend the original warranty period of any Core Product Software or Non-Core Software.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
(i) Seller’s sole obligation for software that when properly installed and used does not substantially conform to the publish ed specifications in effect when the
software is first shipped by Seller, is to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any reproducible material non-conformity (as determined by Seller in its sole
discretion) by providing the customer with: (a) telephone or e-mail access to report non-conformance so that Seller can verify reproducibility, (b) a software patch or
bug fix, if available or a workaround to bypass the issue if available, and (c) where applicable, replacement or damaged or defective external media, such as CD-ROM
disk, on which the software was originally delivered;
(ii) Seller does not warrant that the use of any software will be uninterrupted, error-free, free of security vulnerabilities or that the software will meet the customer’s
particular requirements; and the customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty is, at Seller’s option, to receive (a) suitably modified software, or
part thereof, or (b) comparable replacement software or part thereof;
(iii) Seller retains all right, title and interest in and to and ownership of all software (including all Core Pro duct Software and Non-Core Software) including any and all
enhancements, modifications and updates to the same; and
(iv) in some cases, the warranty on certain proprietary sub-assembly modules manufactured by third-party vendors and contained in Seller’s products, third party
software installed in certain of Seller’s products, and on certain private–label products manufactured by third-parties for resale by Seller, will be of shorter duration
or otherwise more limited than the standard Seller limited warranty. In such cases, Seller's warranty with respect to such third-party proprietary sub-assembly
modules, third-party software and private-label products will be limited to the duration and other terms of such third-party vendor's warranty, if any. In addition,
certain products, that are not manufactured by Seller, but are resold by Seller, may carry the original OEM warranty for such products, if any. The limited warranty

applicable specifications that are in effect on the date of shipment of that product or fails to meet such other specifications as may have been expressly agreed upon
in writing between the parties, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases the warranty on
certain proprietary sub-assembly modules manufactured by third-party vendors and contained in Seller products, third party software installed in certain of Seller’s
products, and on certain private–label products manufactured by third-parties for resale by Seller will be of shorter duration or otherwise more limited than Seller
limited warranty for Refurbished/Closeout Products. In such cases, Seller's warranty for Refurbished/Closeout Products constituting such third party proprietary
sub-assembly modules, third party software, and private-label products will be limited to the duration and other terms of such third-party vendor's warranty, if any.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) certain Refurbished/Closeout Products that are not manu factured (but are resold) by Seller, may carry the original OEM
warranty for such products, if any, which may be longer or shorter than Seller’s limited warranty for Refurbished/Closeout Pr oducts. All sales of
Refurbished/Closeout Products are final.
To obtain service under this warranty, the defective product, together with a copy of the sales receipt, serial number if applicable, or other satisfactory proof of
purchase and a brief description of the defect, must be shipped freight prepaid to Seller at the following address: One Jake Brown Road, Old Bridge, New Jersey

instructions, (ii) disassembly or repair by someone other than the manufacturer or a manufacturer-authorized repair center, (iii) misuse, misapplication or abuse, (iv)

DAMAGES BASED UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT TORT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL
THEORY, ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE SALE, USE, INSTALLATION OR FAILURE OF ANY PRODUCT ACQUIRED BY BUYER FROM SELLER.
