the Customer Equipment is turned on and programmed with AT&T network and service

Application unless such Application is described in and attached to Exhibit A
hereto.

the problem is due to reasons other than misuse, malfunction or the failure of
the Customer Equipment to meet the technical standards for compatibility with
the Service, or failure of the End User to understand how to use the Service.

Service provider reasonably determines are necessary or desirable to ensure the
performance and reliability of the Service.

Users. In the event that individual connectivity to End Users is required,
Customer will follow AT&T policies and procedures for such connections.
Section 4. Customer Equipment
Customer will be responsible for the acquisition, programming,
installation, maintenance and repair of all Customer Equipment. Customer will
ensure that all Customer Equipment is technically and operationally compatible
with the Service and meets all applicable federal and state laws, rules and
regulations.

on Customer's behalf.
6.5 Security Deposits. AT&T may from time to time require Customer to
provide it with a cash deposit, irrevocable letter of credit, or other security
acceptable to AT&T based upon AT&T's assessment of Customer's creditworthiness.

of its intent to terminate this Agreement.

(60) day period after AT&T's notice is sent, to satisfy the eligibility
criteria, AT&T and Customer will renegotiate the Service Plan Requirements. If
the parties fail to reach a mutually acceptable agreement regarding the Service
Plan within the following thirty (30) day period, AT&T may either, immediately
or upon notice to Customer, 1) modify the Service Plan, or 2) terminate this
Agreement without further notice, in its sole discretion.

Application
Customer provides and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Dispatch service to
businesses via the Internet. The purpose of this solution is to allow companies
to know the location of all vehicles in their fleet in real time. This allows
companies to make more efficient fleet management decisions.
End Users using the Customer solution track their vehicles by utilizing the
Internet. The application which tracts the vehicles actually resides on a server
at Customer's location. To get access to this server the End User would need to
have an Internet connection and some type of Internet browser such as Netscape.
The End User would then be given a password which would provide access to a
private page on the Customer web site. This page would contain the tracking and
dispatch application.
A GPS/CDPD unit is installed in the trunk of the vehicle to be tracked.
Optionally, the customer can choose the dispatch feature which provides and LCD
display that resides near the driver. The vehicle is periodically polled for its
location. The End User predefines how often a vehicle is polled based on
business requirements. The GPS unit provides the exact longitude and latitude of
the vehicle at the time of being polled. The CDPD modem then sends that data to
the AT&T CDPD network, which is then passed through the Internet to the Customer
server where the customer can view the plotted and mapped data via the web. The
application provides the exact location of the vehicle, a history of the routes
the vehicle has traveled, how fast the vehicle is traveling, etc. The End User
can also send dispatch messages to the driver of the vehicle using the same
wireless communications link. The driver can optionally respond to these
messages by using the keypad located on the LCD display.
Customer provides a turn-key solution to the End User which includes the
GPS/CDPD hardware, web based application software, AT&T network services,
installation and ongoing support. The web based tracking solution is provided on
a monthly subscription basis which includes a pre-determined amount of wireless
data usage. This amount will vary and is determined by the polling frequency
chosen by the End User. The End User may either purchase the GPS/CDPD modem or
have it added as part of the monthly subscription fee. The Customer server can
host multiple customers, each having their own private web page.
