“Party” or collectively as the “Parties.” The Descriptive CCTV and/or Access Control Proposal
(“Contract”), that You signed, describing the equipment, installation and cost of Your System, is
expressly incorporated herein and constitutes part of this Agreement. If You are entering into this
Agreement on behalf of a company, organization or another legal entity (an “Entity”), You are

CABLING, ACCESSORIES, REMOTE SUPPORT, PROGRAMMING, SOFTWARE, REPAIR AND
SERVICES SUPPLIED, SOLD, DEPLOYED, RELOCATED OR INSTALLED BY COMTEX ARE SUBJECT TO
THE FOLLOWING TERMS & CONDITIONS.
I. DISCLAIMERS
Any System installed by Comtex is designed to reduce the risk of loss or damage to or at Your
premises so far as this can be done by the use of these systems. However, regardless of whether
Your System is working properly or not, We do not guarantee that it will deter, prevent or capture
illegal activity. We do not guarantee that the equipment cannot be removed, tampered with or made
to stop working by You or any unauthorized person. We do not guarantee that it will not fail to record
or require service at some point. We do not guarantee that it will secure your property, belongings or
people on or near your property. Comtex does not warrant or represent that that the operation of
Your System will be uninterrupted or error free. Comtex does not act and shall not be deemed to act
as an insurer of Your property or the contents contained therein. Comtex does not provide a
warranty that by virtue of the installation of one or more types of systems, the property, people or
contents contained therein are completely secure or safe. Comtex does not sell or install burglar
alarms and does not provide burglar or alarm monitoring services. You may contact a vendor who
supplies and installs burglar alarms that may compliment Your System. Comtex shall have no
liability in contract or tort for any loss suffered and in particular, we do not accept any liability
whatsoever for any consequential loss or damage (including loss of earnings or profits or
anticipated profits) which may arise from any malfunction or defect of any System. Should any of
the above occur, Comtex is not responsible for any losses you may suffer directly or indirectly.

II. INDEMNIFICATION
A. Indemnification Obligations
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, You shall indemnify and hold harmless,
individually and collectively, Comtex, its affiliates, agents, and employees and other providers who
furnish goods and services to You in connection with Your System, and their officers, directors,
managers, and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability, claims,
losses (including loss of profits, revenue and goodwill), damages, fines, penalties, injuries to
persons or property, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and dispute
resolution expenses) resulting directly or indirectly from or related to: (i) the use of or reliance of any
System and Software by You or any third party acting with Your permission, knowledge, authority or
direction; (ii) a breach of this Agreement or any other Agreement with Comtex, by You, or any End
User; (iii) any negligent acts, omissions to act or willful misconduct by You or any third party acting
with Your permission, knowledge, authority or direction; (iv) the inability to use any System, or the
failure or outage of a System and/or Software for any reason; (v) the use of a System in connection
with a violation of any applicable law, code, regulation, or ordinance by the Client; or (vi) the

misappropriation, breach, violation, or infringement of any right, title or interest of any third party,
including but not limited to, contractual rights, Intellectual Property rights, and rights of privacy; (vii)
failure to promptly install any updates of any software or firmware or accept or use modified or
replacement items provided by or on behalf of Comtex; (viii) Your use of, reliance on, or publication,
communication or distribution of anything on Our Website; or (x) your violation of any law or
regulation. Further, Client will indemnify and hold harmless Comtex against all damages, costs,
and legal fees finally awarded against Comtex by a court of competent jurisdiction or in Arbitration
in connection with such third-party claim or agreed to in a written settlement agreement approved
in writing by the Client.
B. Defense and Indemnification Procedures
If Comtex becomes an Indemnified Party, Comtex will have the right to participate at its own
expense in the defense of such third-party claim, including any related settlement negotiations. No
such claim may be settled or compromised by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified
Party’s express written consent (which such consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed), unless such settlement or compromise includes a full and complete

release of all claims and actions against the Indemnified Party by each party bringing such third-
party claim.

III. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A. Good Faith Attempt to Settle Disputes
In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement (a “Dispute”), each
Party will appoint a duly authorized representative which will confer with the other Party before
either Party brings legal action, to make a reasonable and good faith effort to settle or otherwise
resolve such Dispute.
B. Resolution in Small Claims Court.
In the event the Dispute is not resolved, and the claim falls within the dollar limit allowed by New
Jersey Superior Court, Small Claims Court, along with any other jurisdictional requirements, either
Party must seek to have that dispute resolved in Small Claims court in New Jersey.
C. Binding Arbitration.
If negotiations fail to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) calendar days, and small claims court is
not a valid option due to the size or nature of the claim, all disputed claims must be resolved by
binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the commercial rules of the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect as of the date this Agreement goes into effect.
This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest possible meaning under Applicable
Laws. The place of arbitration will be in Bergen County New Jersey. The complaining Party shall
notify the other Party in writing thereof. Within thirty (30) days of such notice, management level
representatives of both Parties shall meet at an agreed location to attempt to resolve the dispute in
good faith. Should the dispute not be resolved within thirty (30) days after such notice, the
complaining Party shall seek remedies exclusively through arbitration. The demand for arbitration
shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has
arisen, and in no event shall it be made after one year from when the aggrieved party knew or

should have known of the controversy, claim, dispute or breach. The cost of the arbitration
proceeding and any proceeding in court to confirm or to vacate any arbitration award, as applicable
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), shall be borne by the
unsuccessful party, as determined by the arbitrators, and shall be awarded as part of the
arbitrator’s award. It is specifically understood and agreed that any party may enforce any award
rendered pursuant to the arbitration provisions of this Section by bringing suit in any court of
competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have authority to grant injunctive
or other forms of equitable relief to any party. This Section shall survive the termination or
cancellation of this Agreement. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court
having jurisdiction.
IV. CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
A. Representations
Client represents and warrants that it is the owner of Client’s said premises or has the authority
from the owner or any other person in control of Client’s facility to permit Comtex to install the
equipment and cabling at Your facility which may include, but is not limited to, drilling holes, driving
nails, making attachments or doing such other things as may be necessary or related to the
installation of the System. Client acknowledges that Comtex has no way of knowing of the
existence of hidden pipes, wires or other obstructions within walls, ceilings, doors or any other
concealed spaces or a condition which differs from those originally encountered or an unexpected
condition that affects the cost of the installation, and that is the obligation of You to make Comtex
aware of such conditions in advance, failing which Comtex shall has no responsibility whatsoever
for any damage that may be caused or any additional costs that may be required to complete the
installation as per Contract.

services to: (i) allow Comtex employees access to the areas where the equipment is to be installed;
ii) provide all patching, painting, concrete, and other openings, floor reinforcements and ceiling
tiles; (iii) provide ample electric current and electrical support for the equipment, terminating in
rooms where required; (iv) accept the risk of loss for any damage or destruction of Your equipment
installed and/or left on premises to be installed, at the time of delivery to Your premises, except
with respect to damage or destruction resulting from the negligence of a Comtex technician and (v)

secure and backing up Your data.
C. Remote Access
Client agrees that if remote access to Your System was granted at time of installation or
commencement of a service contract, it will remain available to Comtex. If changes to remote
access are made by You including, but not limited to, new IP addresses, security procedures, or
hardware, You agree to notify Comtex of such changes and You understand that failure to do so may
hinder Our ability to provide timely service or support. If remote access is unobtainable due to
Client provided equipment and an onsite service call is required as a result, Client is responsible to
pay Comtex’s on site current labor rate.

V. INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT AND DELAYS
Our non-union crew will install this system during normal work days and hours. The Contract price

the following reasons, (i) required cabling is missing, (ii) Client’s network is not properly configured
or has an issue, (ii) Client’s network is missing required equipment (router, QOS, PoE switch), (iv) no
internet access, (v) Client’s IT vendor is not available and needed during deployment, (vi) any other
delay that is caused by the Client, or (vii) if Client does not fulfill its obligations as defined in
paragraph , Client agrees that any of the foregoing delays or obligations set forth in Section IV herein
will result in additional charges on a time and material basis at Comtex’s then current rate. Charges
will apply to the real time lost by Comtex technicians including travel time and time on site.
V. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
It is the responsibility of Client to inform Comtex of any hazardous materials in Your facility,
including but not limited to Asbestos, mold, or lead paint. If Comtex encounters and of the
aforementioned, We have the right to cease the project until such a time that the work area is
deemed safe for Our technicians. If Our technicians must leave Your facility because of Your failure
to notify Comtex of the existence of hazardous materials, You will be charged for the return trip.
VI. SERVICE OF SYSTEM
Your System comes with a one year guarantee as described in Your Contract. Prior to the expiration
of Your guarantee a Comtex representative will contact you and offer you an option to subscribe to
a Comtex service contract. If you opt not to enroll in our service contract program, then You always
have the option to contact Us when Your System requires service and You will be billed on a time
and material basis at the then prevailing labor or programming rates. Comtex’s obligations under
the guarantee and/or service contract are subject to the exclusions in Your Contract and contingent
on Your invoices being paid and current.
