Strategy:

Quantum has a commitment to support each of its products for a total of five years from

last customer ship, which would be March 2003 in the case of DLT2000XT. The recent

volume of returns and the five-year commitment, now indicate it is time for Quantum to

cease support. Effective October 1, 2002 Quantum will begin utilizing a third-party

repair provider for all DLT2000 and DLT2000XT products. All return authorization

procedures will be provided by the third parties identified below. Quantum has
