WARRANTY

A.

Ericsson GE Mobile Communications Inc. (hereinafter "Seller") warrants to the original
purchaser for use (hereinafter "Buyer") that Equipment manufactured by Seller shall be
free from defects in material, workmanship and title, and shall conform to its published
specifications. With respect to any Equipment not manufactured by Seller (except for in-
tegral parts of Seller’s Equipment to which the warranties set forth above shall apply).
Seller gives no warranty, and only the warranty, if any, given by the manufacturer shall
apply. Batteries are excluded from this warranty but are warranted under a separate
Nickel-Cadmium Battery Warranty.

B.

Seller’s obligations set  forth in Paragraph C below shall apply only to failures to meet
the above warranties (except as to title) occurring within the following periods of time
from date of sale to the Buyer and are conditioned on Buyer’s giving written notice to
Seller within thirty (30) days of such occurrence:

1.

for fuses, incandescent lamps, vacuum tubes and non-rechargeable batteries, op-
erable on arrival only.

2.

for parts and accessories (except as noted in B.1) sold by Seller’s Service Parts
Operation, ninety (90) days.

3.

for all other Equipment of Seller’s manufacture, one (1) year.

C.

If any Equipment fails to meet the foregoing warranties, Seller shall correct the failure at
its option (i) by repairing any defective or damaged part or parts thereof, or (ii) by mak-
ing available at Seller’s factory any necessary repaired or replacement parts.  Any re-
paired or replacement part furnished hereunder shall be warranted for the remainder of
the warranty period of the Equipment in which it is installed. Where such failure cannot
be corrected by Seller’s reasonable efforts, the parties will negotiate an equitable adjust-
ment in price. Labor to perform warranty service will be provided at no change only for
the Equipment covered under Paragraph B.3, and only during the first three (3) months
following the date of sale to the Buyer. Thereafter, labor will be charged at prevailing
rates. To be eligible  for no-charge labor, service must be performed  by an authorized
General Electric Service Station or other Servicer approved for these purposes either at
its place of business during normal business hours, for mobile or personal equipment,
or at the Buyer’s location, for fixed location equipment. Service on fixed location equip-
ment more than thirty (30) miles from the Service Station or other approved Servicer’s
place of business will include a charge for transportation. Equipment located off-shore is
not eligible for no-charge labor.

D.

Seller’s obligations under Paragraph C shall not apply to any Equipment, or part thereof,
which (i) has been modified or otherwise altered other than pursuant to Seller’s written
instructions or written approval or, (ii) is normally consumed in operation or, (iii) has a
normal life inherently shorter than the warranty periods specified in Paragraph B, or (iv)
is not properly stored, installed, used, maintained or repaired, or, (v) has been subjected
to any other kind of misuse or detrimental exposure, or has been involved in an acci-
dent.

E.

The preceding paragraphs set forth the exclusive remedies for claims (except as to title)
based upon defects in or nonconformity of the Equipment, whether the claim is in con-
tract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and however insti-
tuted. Upon the expiration of the warranty period, all such liability shall terminate. The
foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, whether oral, writ-
ten, expressed, implied or statutory. NO IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY. IN
NO EVENT SHALL THE SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUEN-
TIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.

This warranty applies only within the United States.
