All rights reserved TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. Term. The Initial Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of this Agreement and continue for the period indicated in this Agreement. At the conclusion of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically extend for successive terms equal to the Initial Term, each and together a "Term" of this Agreement, unless either party gives written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then -current term. 2. Payment. Payments shall be invoiced and due in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Work performed on a time and material basis shall be at the then -prevailing Company rate for material, labor, and related items, in effect at the time supplied under this Agreement. 3. Pricing. The pricing set forth in this Agreement is based on the number of devices and services to be performed as set forth in this Agreement. If the actual number of devices installed or services to be performed is greater than that set forth in this Agreement, the price will be increased accordingly. Company may increase prices upon notice to the Customer or annually to reflect increases in material and laborcosts. Customer agrees to pay all taxes, permits, and other charges, including but not limited to state and local sales and excise taxes, installation or alarm permits, false alarm assessments, or any charges imposed by any government body, however designated, levied or based on the service charges pursuant to this Agreement. The Customer's failure to make paymentwhen due is a material breach of this Agreement. 4. Code Compliance. Company does not undertake an obligation to inspect for compliance with laws or regulations unless specifically stated in this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the Authority Having Jurisdiction (e.g. Fire Marshal) may establish additional requirements for compliance with local codes. Any additional services or equipment required will be provided at an additional costto Customer. 5. Limitation of Liability; Limitations of Remedy. Customer understands that Company offers several levels of protection services and that the level described has been chosen by Customer after considering and balancing various levels of protection afforded and their related costs. It is understood and agreed by the Customer that Company is not an insurer and that insurance coverage, if any, shall be obtained by the Customer and that amounts payable to Company hereunder are based upon the value of the services and the scope of liability set forth in this Agreement and are unrelated to the value of the Customer's property and the property of others located on the premises. Customer agrees to look exclusively to the Customer's insurer to recover for injuries or damage in the event of any loss or injury and that Customer releases and waives all right of recovery against Company arising by way of subrogation. Company makes no guaranty or Warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose that equipment or services supplied by Company will detect or avert occurrences or the consequences therefrom that the equipment or service was designed to detect or avert. It is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, which may proximately result from failure on the part of Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly, Customer agrees that, Company shall be exempt from liability for any loss, damage or injury arising directly or indirectly from occurrences, or the consequences therefrom, which the equipment or service was designed to detect or avert. Should Company be found liable for any loss, damage or injury arising from a failure of the equipment or service in any respect, Company's liability for Services performed on site at Customer's premises shall be limited to an amount equal to the Agreement price (as increased by the price for any additional work) or, where the time and material payment term is selected, Customer's time and material payments to Company. Where this Agreement covers multiple sites, liability shall be limited to the amount of the payments allocable to the site where the incident occurred. Company's liability with respect to Monitoring Services is set forth in Section 17 of this Agreement. Such sum shall be complete and exclusive. If Customer desires Company to assume greater liability, the parties shall amend this Agreement by attaching a rider setting forth the amount of additional liability and the additional amount payable by the Customer for the assumption by Company of such greater liability, provided however that such rider shall in no way be interpreted to hold Company as an insurer. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, INJURY, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM ARISING FROM ANY SERVICING, ALTERATIONS, MODIFICATIONS, CHANGES, OR MOVEMENTS OF THE COVERED SYSTEM(S), AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED, OR ANY OF ITS COMPONENT PARTS BY THE CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY.

As required under 6 C.F.R. 25.5 (e), to the maximum extent permitted by law, Company and Customer hereby agree to waive their right to make any claims against the other for any lasses, including business interruption lasses, sustained by either party or their respective employees, resulting from an activity resulting from an "Act of Terrorism" as defined in 6 C.F.R. 25.2, when QATT have been deployed in defense against, response to, or recovery from such Act of Terrorism. 7.

Company reserves the right to select counsel to represent it in any such action.

Remote Service. If Customer selects Remote Service, Customer understands and agrees that, while Remote Service provides for communication regarding Customer's fire alarm system to Company via the internet, Remote Service does not constitute monitoring of the system and Customer understands that Remote Service does not provide for Company to contact the fire department or other authorities in the event of a fire alarm. The Customer understands that if it wishes to receive monitoring of its fire alarm system and notification of the fire department or other authorities in the event of a fire alarm, it must select monitoring services as a separate service under this Agreement. CUSTOMER FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE TERMS OF SECTION 17.F OF THIS AGREEMENT APPLY TO REMOTE SERVICE. 17. Monitoring Services. If Customer has selected Monitoring services, the following shall apply to such services: A. Alarm Monitoring Service. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Company's sole and only obligation under this Agreement shall be to provide alarm monitoring, notification, and/or Runner services as set forth in this Agreement and to endeavor to notify the party(ies) identified by Customer on the ContactlCall List ("Contacts") and/or Loral Emergency Dispatch Numbers for responding authorities. Upon receipt of an alarm signal, Company may, at our sole discretion, attempt to notify the Contacts to verify the signal is not false. If we fail to notify the Contacts or question the response we receive, we will attempt to notify the responding authority. In the event Company receives a supervisory signal or trouble signal, Company shall endeavor to promptly notify one of the Contacts. Company shall not be responsible for a Contacts or responding authority's refusal to acknowledge/respond to Companys notifications of receipt of an alarm signal, nor shall Company be required to make additional notifications because of such refusal. The Contacts are authorized to act on Customer's behalf and, if so designated on the ContacUCall List, are authorized to cancel an alarm prior to the notification of authorities. Customer understands that local laws, ordinances or policies may restrict Companys ability to provide the alarm monitoring and notification services described in this Agreement and/or necessitate modified or additional services and related charges to Customer. Customer understands that Company may employ a number of industry -recognized measures to help reduce occurrences of false alarm signal activations. These measures may include, but are not limited to, implementation of industry -recognized default settings; implementation of "partial clear time bypass" procedures at our alarm monitoring center and other similar measures at our sole discretion from time to time. THESE MEASURES CAN RESULT IN NO ALARM SIGNAL BEING SENT FROM AN ALARM ZONE IN CUSTOMER'S PREMISES AFTER THE INITIAL ALARM ACTIVATION UNTIL THE ALARM SYSTEM IS MANUALLY RESET. Upon receiving notification from Company that a fire or gas detection (e.g. carbon monoxide) signal has been received, the responding authority may forcibly enter the premises. Cellular radio unit test supervision, if provided under this Agreement, provides only the status of the cellular radio units current signaling ability at the time of the test communication based on certain programmed intervals and does not serve to detect the potential loss of radio service at the time of an actual emergency event. Company shall not be responsible to provide monitoring services under this Agreement unless and until the communication link between Customer's premises and Companys Monitoring Center has been tested. SUCH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. B Limitation of Liability; Limitations of Remedy. Customer understands that Company offers several levels of Monitoring Services and that the level described has been chosen by Customer after considering and balancing various levels of protection afforded and their related costs. It is understood and agreed by the Customer that Company is not an insurer and that insurance coverage, if any, shall be obtained by the Customer and that amounts payable to Company hereunder are based upon the value of the Monitoring Services and the scope of liability set forth in this Agreement and are unrelated to the value of the Customer's property and the property of others located on the premises. Customer agrees to look exclusively to the Customer's insurer to recover for injuries or damage in the event of any loss or injury and that Customer releases and waives all right of recovery against Company arising by way of subrogation. Company makes no guaranty or Warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose that equipment or services supplied by Company will detect or avert occurrences or the consequences there from that the equipment or service was designed to detect or avert. It is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, which may proximately result from failure on the part of Company to perform any of its monitoring obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly, Customer agrees that, Company shall be exempt from liability for any loss, damage or injury arising directly or indirectly from occurrences, or the consequences there from, which the equipment or service was designed to detect or avert. Should Company be found liable for any loss, damage or injury arising from a failure of the equipment or service in any respect, Company's liability with respect to Monitoring Services shall be the lesser of the annual fee for Monitoring Services allocable to the site where the incident occurred or two thousand five hundred ($2,500) dollars. Such sum shall be complete and exclusive. If Customer desires Company to assume greater liability, the parties shall amend this Agreement by attaching a rider setting forth the amount of additional liability and the additional amount payable by the Customer for the assumption by Company of such greater liability, provided however that such rider shall in no way be interpreted to hold Company as an insurer.

Customer acknowledges that alarm signals from Customer's premises to Company are transmitted over Customer's telephone or other transmission service and that in the event the telephone or other transmission service is out of order, disconnected, placed on "vacation", or otherwise interrupted, signals from Customer's alarm system will not be received by Company, during any such interruption in telephone or other transmission service and the interruption will not be known to Company. Customer agrees that in the event the equipment or system continuously transmits signals reasonably determined by Company to be false and/or excessive in number, Customer shall be subject to the additional costs and fees incurred by Company in the receiving and/or responding to the excessive signals and/or Company may at its sole discretion terminate this Agreement with respect to Monitoring services upon notice to Customer. F. Communication Facilities. i. Authorization. Customer authorizes Company, on Customers behalf, to request services, orders or equipment from a telephone company, wireless carrier or other company providing communication facilities, signal transmission services or facilities under this Agreement (referred to as " Communication Company").
