（xxx = rated power) (hereinafter, “Product”) and sold by Atakale ECO SOLUTIONS, Division of Atakale Corporation

of North America, a Delaware Corporation, or any of its affiliated companies, divisions or units (hereinafter, “Atakale”) and is extended to

the original end-user purchaser, and when Product remains at its original installed location, is transferable to any subsequent owner of the

location, or subsequent title holder of the Product upon satisfactory proof of succession or assignment (all such persons hereinafter referred to

as, “Customer”).

2. Limited Product Workmanship Warranty. Atakale warrants the Product to be free from defects in materials and product

workmanship under normal application, installation, use, and service conditions for a period ending fifteen (15) years from date of Product

purchase by the Customer. If the Product fails to conform to this warranty, as determined by Atakale in its sole and absolute discretion,

Atakale will employ one of the following Limited Warranty Remedies as set forth under Section 4 below. This fifteen (15) years Limited

Product Workmanship Warranty does not warrant a specific power output, which shall be exclusively covered under Section 3 below.

3. Limited Power Output Warranty. Atakale warrants the power output will be no less than 95% of the designated Maximum Power

(Pmax) stated in the product data sheet for the first year from date of purchase of the Product by the Customer and the power output

Upon receipt of a Power Output warranty claim, Atakale or its designated representative shall conduct measurements under STC to

determine the actual power output of the Product. Atakale measurement shall be the sole determination for purposes of warranty

settlement. If Atakale measures power output levels under the warranted output levels set out above, taking into account a ±3%

measurement tolerance range, and such power loss is the result of a product defect, as determined by Atakale in its sole and absolute

discretion, Atakale will supplement the power output deficiency using one of the following Limited Warranty Remedies as set forth under

Section 4 below.

4. Limited Warranty Remedies. Atakale, at is sole discretion, will take one of following remedies

a. Atakale may refund the Customer the original Product purchase price. Any refund may be pro-rated by the number of months

(Product measured under STC) and minimal guaranteed output;

b. Atakale may provide additional new or refurbished Product to restore deficient output;

c. Atakale may repair or replace the Product with new or refurbished Product

5. Limited Remedy Conditions. When one of the Limited Warranty Remedies is employed, the following conditions will apply:

e. The warranty remedy is applicable to the Product only and does not apply to any other system components or parts.
