The purpose of these visits will be to sweep check and calibrate the EMCEE TU1000 units and verify system performance. NOTICE The equipment offered herein is guaranteed to perform in accordance with published, or otherwise agreed to, specifications. Adherence to such specifica- tions does not, however, guarantee freedom from, or insusceptibility to, certain forms of electrical interference, or performance degradation such as encountered during periods of anomalous propagation, or during exposure to radiation ema- nating from external, manmade -or natural, radio frequency sources. In those cases where equipment or system performance is degraded by the aforementioned causes and where correction might be effected by reasonable means, EMCEE Broadcast Products personnel will, at additional cost to the purchaser, and if so authorized by same, attempt to devise and apply appropriate remedies. In no case, however, will EMCEE Broadcast Products assume liability for any form of performance degradationattributable to such external causes. Further, no liability will be assumed for the cost of measures necessary toward verification of the cause or source of such effects, as might contribute to such degradation. Finally, this disclaimer shall be a condition of sale and acceptance of this offering, and shall further constitute an agreement, by the purchaser, that any form of system performance degradation, as described herein, shall not be cause for nonpayment of the agreed upon purchase price. BROADCAST PRODUCTS LIMITED WARRANTY EMCEE warrants equipment manufactured by us to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Complete equipment or component parts returned as defective, prepaid to our factory, will be at our option, repaired or replaced, at no charge, for a period of one (1) year from date of shipment as long as the equip- ment or component part in question has not been improperly used or damaged by external causes, such as water or lightning. Electron tubes and semiconductor devices are excepted from this warranty and shall be warranted for a period of not more than 90 days from date of shipment. Equipment or component parts sold or used by EMCEE, but manufactured by others, shall carry the same warranty as extended to EMCEE by the original manufacturer. P.O.

Responsibility for proper and on -time completion of the entire project will rest with the Systems Engineering Group. Through a program of hands-on control and routine reporting, we have successfully and satisfactorily completed many installations over the past years. An established management procedure' will be followed in the completion of the project. I i The initial tasks of material ordering, delivery scheduling, and sub- contractor organization will be handled by the Systems Engineer who developed the list of materials appearing in this proposal. Early in the project, an installation supervisor from our Field Engineering Group will be selected and assigned permanently to your project. He will be made familiar with all the installation details of this particular proj- ect through several meetings with all EMCEE personnel who have been involved up to that point. The installation supervisor will then be kept abreast of any developments pertaining to the project, including materials delivery dates and changes, if any arise. When the installation actually gets under way, the EMCEE Field Engineer will be in direct authority over tower crews and any subcontractors. He will be present and exercise direct control over every operation, from antenna mounting to equipment turn -on and alignment. The installation supervisor will make daily reports to EMCEE management on the status of the installation. Along with his responsibilities for the timely execution of all the tasks involved and the safety and conduct of the work crews, the EMCEE Field Engineer will be available to your staff members to keep them informed of developments. He will contact your engineer when his pres- ence is necessary in making any special examinations or decisions. He will have the authority to represent EMCEE in any dealings with you during the installation. In summary, because of our unequalled experience in transmission system installation work, EMCEE will provide you with the first-rate installa- tion completed in a timely manner. System performance will be optimized as a result of the employment of professional, modern installation procedures. COMPUTER -ASSISTED ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT EMCEE's processing of an order of this magnitude is a very complex matter. To meet delivery deadlines for multiple systems, the company must carefully coordinate the ordering of materials and schedule produc- tion very carefully. Such a task would probably be impossible without computerization of the process. EMCEE has implemented a Hewlett Packard/ASK MANMAN system. The system relies on a Hewlett Packard HP3000 series 40 computer. I systems manager has implemented the system and oversees computer operations, interfacing with individual department managers, company ;officers, and data processing personnel. When an order is received by EMCEE, detailed information about each piece of equipment to be supplied, channels, delivery dates, shipping and billing information from the sales department is entered in the com- puter by the order entry department. Thus, we have a complete data base on the project to work from. Any modifications, additions, or deletions can be entered as they occur. One of the outputs is a detailed acknowl- edgment of the order, a copy of which is mailed to the customer. The purchasing department accesses this account information to make com- mitments to vendors for the proper quantities of materials and com- ponents. Purchasing schedules materials deliveries to coincide with production scheduling in order to meet customer delivery requirements. Production scheduling is also assisted by the computer. The production manager has a computer report on materials delivery and one on customer delivery schedules. With the assistance of the computer, the production department efficiently schedules labor on all accounts in the house. Engineering functions, accounts payable, and accounts receivable are also handled on the system. Management is using the computer as a tool to efficiently and promptly meet final equipment delivery to the customer. QUALITY ASSURANCE Every EMCEE unit is individually constructed at a modern plant from the �- finest components available. Quality control at EMCEE is exceptionally thorough. Every item used in the construction of EMCEE products is inspected, upon delivery to the plant, to assure that it meets EMCEE's rigid standards. During each phase of production, the quality control staff scrutinizes every PC board, subassembly, module and drawer. At four integral stages of construction, the unit is pulled from the factory and subjected to rigorous electrical testing. As a final step, the unit is subjected to a complete quality control inspection after final cleanup before release for shipment. Recently, employees have implemented "Quality Circles." Groups meet regularly to identify areas for improvement, discuss solutions, and make recommendations for correction. In this way, quality control is exer- cised before and during production, instead of after the product is completed. COMPANY HISTORY Founded in 1960, EMCEE was originally located in Mount Vernon, New York. From its inception, the major emphasis was toward the innovative design and manufacture of television retransmission equipment. As the years passed, our capabilities and product line grew, as did the need for larger facilities; in 1968 the company relocated to a new 27,000 square foot facility in White Haven, Pennsylvania. Today EMCEE is the principal manufacturer of television translators, Instructional Television Fixed Service transmit and receive equipment, and Multipoint Distribution Service transmitters. Our success is largely due to emphasis on development engineering and new products that reflect the highest level of technology. Just as important, however, is the ability to satisfy a marketplace that is resulting from the new emphasis on energy -efficiency and space-age com- munications techniques. This continuing impetus toward product development, marketing and sophisticated manufacturing has enabled EMCEE to maintain its leadership position.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT SERVICES Technical Manuals Copies of complete owner's manuals will be provided with each unit Purchased. EMCEE manuals are quite extensive. In addition to complete schematic diagrams and meticulous technical descriptions of the construction of each unit, the manuals contain detailed information on troubleshooting, test procedures and recommended test equipment, parts ordering procedures, and operation instructions. Factory Training Engineer training on all transmitters, receivers, and repeaters is available. EMCEE will conduct a thorough training session at the plant. Each unit will be discussed covering details of design, construction, testing methods, and troubleshooting techniques. Customer Service EMCEE offers the services of an established Customer Service Department to support the ongoing operation of the system. The department is comprised of two individuals: a Customer Service Manager and a Customer Service Engineer. The responsibilities of this department include the speedy resolution of off -air emergencies, the administration of warranty and nonwarranty repairs, and parts ordering. Customer Service Engineering is available on a 24-hour-per-day basis. During business hours the manager and engineer are available directly at 1-800-233-6193. At other times, a call to this same number allows the caller to place a message on an automatic answering machine. The message will be responded to typically within five to twelve hours. The Customer Service Engineer has authority to take speedy action to resolve off -air situations. When an emergency call is received, the Customer Service Engineer diagnoses the call as closely as possible by telephone. If parts or modules are required, the department members arrange for their immediate shipment. On weekdays parts may be shipped via Federal Express, UPS Blue Label, Emery Air Freight, or Eastern Sprint Service. On weekends Eastern Sprint Service carries parts to the closest major airport. Emergency parts usually arrive within 24 hours of the initial call. Field Service In the case of extreme systems failure or for periodic maintenance, your company may wish to have an EMCEE Field Engineer on site. EMCEE's Field Engineering Service has been organized as a department for over ten years. Currently, the department is comprised of a Field Engineering Supervisor and two Field Engineers, all of whom have significant I_ experience and training in transmitter system installatioin, repair, and maintenance. Field Engineering Service will be available at prevailing rates. Technical Consultation Service The expertise of EMCEE's Systems Engineering group is available to pro- vide technical information on the interfacing of EMCEE equipment with transmission systems. As the operating environment changes, situations often arise which require the cooperative efforts of both your Engi- neering personnel and the EMCEE Engineering groups. Typically, customer Engineering personnel and EMCEE Field Engineering people will analyze a system difficulty and perform field measurements if necessary. The results are then reviewed by the Systems Engineering Department, and possible solutions are recommended. Repair Service EMCEE offers complete repair service either in the field or at the fac- tory. Repair work at the plant is performed by technicians in the Test Department trained in equipment repair. Repairs completed in the past have ranged from the replacement of minor components to complete rebuilds of equipment damaged in flood waters. EMCEE Field Engineers may be dispatched to any transmission site should repair work need to be done in the field. The Field Engineers are nor- mally equipped with proper test equipment and an adequate supply of parts to perform prompt and thorough repairs on site. Ak FACTORY AND FIELD TRAINING SERVICE EMCEE will arrange for the training of your personnel in the operation of EMCEE equipment.

Dummy load GENERAL RELATED EXPERIENCE EMCEE has extensive experience in the installation of transmitter and translator sites. Much of this experience has been gained in our MDS and ITFS product line which like LPTV requires towers, buildings, cable and associated equipment. We have also installed some of the largest translator systems in the country. These systems typically use 1 kilowatt, 100 watt, and 10 watt units intercon- nected by microwave or by direct off--the-air pick up. Our field engineers have been very active in performing installation, testing, training and maintenace services similar to those required by you. Here is a brief overview of field activity with some highlights. An earlier major installation was the completion of the five translator system for WWVU of Morgantown, West -Virginia. The project invol ed the complete 'installation of three communication towers, buildings and? 2 GHz microwave link. EMCEE completed a large project for B.O.C.E.S. in Stamford, New York. During 1972, EMCEE installed translators at 15 sites for the Board of Cooperative Educational Services. In 1980 EMCEE installed ITFS transmitters, repeaters, and receivers at five sites for St. Petersburg Junior College, FL. Eventually, St. Petersburg took delivery on equipment for eight channels of transmission. Previously, EMCEE has completed a large multi -channel ITFS system for Mercer 'County Community College. In 1980 EMCEE provided and installed a special four -channel ITFS transmitter system for the Diocese of Rocksville Center (Long Island). The Diocese went on to place twelve new transmitters in service over the next two years. The Boston Catholic television network had EMCEE install twelve ITFS transmit- ters from 1980 to 1983. EMCEE worked closely with Dade County Schools, Florida in the installation and provision of ITFS transmitters, antennas and the lines for a three -site twelve transmitter system in Miami which was started in 1982. Broward County Schools in Fort Lauderdale contracted with EMCEE to install eight ITFS transmitters in 1981-82. These units involved special cabinets at the customers request. EMCEE filed engineering completed turn -on and testing for the Arizona State University ITFS system in 1982. The network includes twelve EMCEE ITFS transmitters. In 1979 the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority issued a contract to EMCEE for translator installation. Oklahoma Educational Television Authority now has translators at 15 sites completely constructed by EMCEE. The network is remote controlled by a tone decoder type system designed and installed by EMCEE. In 1979/80 EMCEE was selected by Accomack County, Virginia to install 15 units. Included were five 1 kilowatt translators operating at the same site, and a spe- cial diversity reception system designed by EMCEE. The project called for extensive proof of performance testing both at the factory and on site. GENERAL RELATED EXPERIENCE (Continued) In Logan and Washington Counties of Colorado EMCEE installed a total. of 16 units during 1981/82. The project included installation of towers, antenna and cable as well as field testing. In September 1983 EMCEE was selected to provide and install four 2 GHz transmit- ters with automatic switching for the Australian Associated Press. In January of 1984 EMCEE finalized a three translator and tower site for the County of Rockingham, VA. The project called for extensive site testing of the equipment. - The Monroe County Florida translator system was completed in December of 1983. EMCEE installed four towers from 250 feet to 300 feet tall, provided building, antennas and lines. Twenty EMCEE 100 watt UHF translators were installed overall. Included in the project was the design and installation of a remote monitoring system using tone decoders for controlling tower lighting. The system brings five channels for Miami to Key West through multi -hop translators. In 1982 EMCEE supplied the first LPTV transmitter in the USA to John W. Boler'of Bemidji, Minnesota. Also in December of last year EMCEE installed a complete 1000 watt UHF LPTV sta- tion for Local Power Television in LaSalle, Illinois. EMCEE completed two MDS station installations for BA -United in the previous twelve month period. Late in 1984 EMCEE delivered a 5 kilowatt broadcast transmitter to KASK-TV Las Cruces, New Mexico. The transmitter is fully remote controlled and the FCC proof -of -performance testing was provided by EMCEE on site. In February of 1985 EMCEE installed a four site ITFS system for Bowling Green State University in Ohio. This involved a two channel transmit site with two repeater sites. EMCEE installed the transmitters, antennas, and waveguide and performed tests on the system. In August/September 1985 EMCEE installed a multi site two-way video ITFS system in upstate New York for BOCES. The installation included eight transmitter systems with towers, installation and proof of performance by EMCEE. In October 1985 EMCEE installed a redundant 100 watt MDS transmitting system in South Korea. One transmit site and eleven receive sites were provided. As part of the contract, EMCEE supervised the installation, provided training and did a proof of performance in Korea. During 1986 EMCEE manufactured and installed a nine site ITFS system for Chattanooga State Technical College. The four channel transmit and four channel talkback system consisted of a studio site, three repeater sites and five receive sites. Ancillary equipment provided and installed by EMCEE personnel included towers and fiberglass buildings. SPARE PARTS POLICY EMCEE maintains a computer managed inventory of spare components and devices for customer support at all times. The purpose is to satisfy requests from custo- mers within the shortest possible response time when an emergency situation ari- ses and to provide the highest level of support for equipment in the field. (EMCEE commonly supports equipment operating in excess of fifteen years after delivery.) The distribution of spare parts is a function of the Customer Service Department. Delivery is generally within seven to ten days of order except when an off -air situation is reported by the customer. In this case the order is treated on a priority basis and delivery is often within 24-hours. During the warranty period all parts used for repairs will be replaced or repaired entirely at EMCEE's expense. ,1000 WATT UHF TRANSLATORS & LINEAR AMPLIFIERS PARTIAL LIST OF USERS WABC-TV W PIX-TV American Broadcasting Company 220 East 42nd Street 1330 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10017 New York, NY 10019 (1 Unit) (1 Unit) Cornhusker TV Corporation WCBS-TV KOLN-TV 529 West 57th Street Lincoln, NE 68506 New York, NY (1 Unit) (1 Unit) Superintendent of Schools WNBC-TV Monterey County. 30 Rockefeller Plaza Salinas, CA 93901 New York, NY 10020 (1 Unit) (1 Unit) Midwest Television, Inc.
