shall use its own branding and trademarks in connection with the
Product. At LIFECOMM’s request and direction, AMAC will prominently
include a statement on the Product, its packaging, and in all advertising of the
Product to the effect that the Product is “powered by LIFECOMM,” which specific
statement and placement of such statement on the Product and associated
packaging and advertising will be mutually agreed upon by the
parties. AMAC will cease including such statement in connection with
the Product upon LIFECOMM’s request. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, LIFECOMM hereby grants AMAC a non-exclusive,
non-transferable (except as permitted in Subsection 14.7 (No
Assignment)), revocable, royalty-free license (without the right to grant

reproduce the LIFECOMM Marks solely in connection with AMAC’s performance of its
branding obligations set forth in this subsection. AMAC agrees to
state in appropriate places on all materials using the LIFECOMM Marks that the
LIFECOMM Marks are trademarks of LIFECOMM and to include the symbol ™ or ® as
appropriate. LIFECOMM grants no rights in the LIFECOMM Marks other
than those expressly granted in this subsection. AMAC acknowledges
LIFECOMM’s exclusive ownership of the LIFECOMM Marks. AMAC agrees not
to take any action inconsistent with such ownership and to cooperate, at
LIFECOMM’s request and expense, in any action (including the conduct of legal
proceedings), which LIFECOMM reasonably deems necessary or desirable to
establish or preserve LIFECOMM’s exclusive rights in and to the LIFECOMM
Marks. AMAC will not adopt, use, or attempt to register any
trademarks or trade names that are confusingly similar to the LIFECOMM Marks or
in such a way as to create combination marks with the LIFECOMM
Marks. AMAC will provide LIFECOMM with samples of all products and
materials that contain the LIFECOMM Marks prior to their public use,
distribution, or display for LIFECOMM’s quality assurance purposes and will
obtain LIFECOMM’s written approval before such use, distribution, or display,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At

Marks if LIFECOMM reasonably determines that such use does not comply with
LIFECOMM’s then-current trademark usage policies and guidelines.
2.5 Compliance with
Laws. Each Party will at all times comply with all applicable
laws and regulations, including, without limitation, regulatory clearances for
any approved product labeling, and refrain from any unethical conduct or any
other conduct that tends to damage the reputation of the other Party or its
products or services in performing its services under this
Agreement. AMAC further agrees that all marketing and sales materials
that relate to or mention LIFECOMM's products or services, or this Agreement,
will be submitted to LIFECOMM for its written approval prior to the use thereof,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For
avoidance of doubt, marketing and sales materials released by AMAC that do not
refer to LIFECOMM's products or services are not subject to the foregoing
approval requirement.

maintain commercial property, casualty and liability insurance in an amount no
less than ***. All liability insurance will designate LIFECOMM as an

arising at any time in connection with AMAC’s performance under this
Agreement. AMAC will provide LIFECOMM with certificates or adequate
proof of the foregoing insurance within thirty (30) days after the Effective

will provide AMAC with certificates or adequate proof of the foregoing insurance
within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date and such insurance policies or

10
(b) Identification of Confidential
Information. All information as described in Section 9(a)
(Definition of Confidential Information) will be deemed “Confidential
Information” only if: (i) in the case of a written disclosure, there is
affixed to the document an appropriate legend, such as “Proprietary” or
“Confidential;” (ii) in the case of an oral or visual disclosure, the Disclosing
Party makes a contemporaneous oral statement or delivers to the Receiving Party
a written statement within thirty (30) days to the effect that such disclosure
is confidential or the like; or (iii) in the case of information designated as
confidential by the Disclosing Party which is obtained as the result of a visit
by the Receiving Party to the Disclosing Party’s facilities, the information is
obtained via (a) exposure on desks, work areas, computers, or other areas in of
the facilities, (b) hearing discussions among personnel or consultants, or (c)
any other inadvertent disclosure of such information while the Receiving Party
is at the facility.
(c) Protection of Confidential
Information. The Receiving Party will not use any Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose not expressly permitted by
this Agreement, and will disclose such Confidential Information only to the
employees, representatives and agents of the Receiving Party (i) who have a need
to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and (ii)
who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than the Receiving
Party’s duty hereunder. The Receiving Party will protect the Confidential
Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as
the Receiving Party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of
a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care. The Receiving
Party shall inform each such employee and consultant of its confidentiality
obligations under this Agreement, and will be liable for any breach of
confidentiality by any such employee or consultant. The obligations
provided in this section will terminate *** after the termination of this
Agreement.
(d) Exceptions. The
Receiving Party’s obligations under 9(c) (Protection of Confidential
Information) with respect to any Confidential Information will terminate if such
information: (i) was already known to the Receiving Party at the time of
disclosure by the Disclosing Party, without any duty of confidentiality to the
Disclosing Party; (ii) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who
had the right to make such disclosure without any confidentiality restrictions;
(iii) is, or through no fault of the Receiving Party has become, generally
available to the public; or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving
Party without access to, or use of, the Confidential Information. In
addition, the Receiving Party will be allowed to use or disclose the
Confidential Information to the extent that such use or disclosure is (A)
approved in writing by the Disclosing Party, (B) necessary for the Receiving
Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement; (C) required by law or by the
order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the
Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure
promptly and in writing and cooperates with the Disclosing Party, at the
Disclosing Party’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to
contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure; or (D) necessary to
exercise any licenses granted to the Receiving Party under this
Agreement.
(e) Return of Confidential
Information. The Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing
Party or destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the
Receiving Party’s possession or control and permanently erase all electronic
copies of such Confidential Information promptly upon the written request of the
Disclosing Party or the expiration or termination of this Agreement, whichever
comes first, unless the Receiving Party has a continuing right to use such
Confidential Information.

9.2 Additional
Obligations. The parties represent that the confidentiality
obligations shall include compliance with all applicable Federal, State and
local laws, rules and regulations regarding confidentiality of medical records
and other patient information, including, without limitation, the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Each
party shall use the other party's Confidential Information (as such term is
defined below in Section 9) solely for the purpose of performing its obligations
under this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that a breach of the
provisions of this section may cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching
party, entitling such party to seek equitable relief, including but not limited
to temporary restraining orders or preliminary or permanent injunction, in
addition to all other remedies.
9.3 Confidentiality of
Agreement. Subject to the last paragraph of Section 14.1, neither party
will disclose any terms of this Agreement to third parties other than its
attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors under a duty of
confidentiality except (i) as required by law; (ii) pursuant to a mutually
agreeable press release; or (iii) in connection with a proposed merger,
financing, or sale of such party’s business (provided that any third party to
whom the terms of this Agreement are to be disclosed signs a confidentiality
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this
Agreement).
10. WARRANTIES
10.1 Warranties by Both
Parties. Each party warrants that it has full power and
authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and the person signing this
Agreement on such party’s behalf has been duly authorized and empowered to enter
into this Agreement.
10.2 Warranties by
LIFECOMM. For a period of *** after shipment of the Device to
AMAC pursuant to Section
4.4 (Shipment, Delivery,
and Acceptance) (the “Warranty Period”), LIFECOMM
warrants that the Device, when used as permitted under this Agreement and in
accordance with the instructions in the User Documentation, will operate
substantially as described in the User Documentation.
LIFECOMM does not warrant that use of the Device will be error-free or
uninterrupted, and the foregoing warranty excludes any failure of a Device
caused by user error, abuse, or misuse. LIFECOMM will, at its own
expense and as its sole obligation and AMAC’s exclusive remedy for any breach of
this warranty, use commercially reasonable efforts to repair any reproducible
nonconformity in any Device reported to LIFECOMM by AMAC in writing during the
Warranty Period or, if LIFECOMM determines that it is unable to repair any
reproducible nonconformity in the Device, LIFECOMM will replace such
Device. Any such repair or replacement of a Device to AMAC will not
extend the original Warranty Period. As a condition to receiving the
warranty remedies hereunder, AMAC must (a) be responsible for all communications
with the Client (either directly or indirectly through a third party
distribution channel); (b) return the nonconforming Device to LIFECOMM in
accordance with LIFECOMM’s then-current RMA policy; and (c) provide reasonable
cooperation to LIFECOMM in diagnosing and reproducing the
nonconformity. AMAC shall pay all freight and shipping costs
associated with warranty returns and replacements of Devices; provided, however, that if
LIFECOMM testing has confirmed that the Device in fact fails to conform to the
warranty set forth in this section (i.e., the identified failure does not arise
from user error, abuse, or misuse), then LIFECOMM shall issue to AMAC a credit
in an amount equal to the freight and shipping costs incurred by AMAC for the
return and replacement of such Device. Such credit must be applied
against the next LIFECOMM invoice; in the event that any such credit remains
outstanding at the time that this Agreement expires or is terminated, LIFECOMM
will remit to AMAC a payment in the amount of the outstanding
credit. LIFECOMM shall offer extended warranty protection on the same
terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10.2 in accordance
with the pricing schedule on Attachment F.
10.3 Warranties by
AMAC. AMAC will not make or publish any false or misleading
representations, warranties, or guarantees on behalf of LIFECOMM or its
suppliers concerning the Product, Device, LIFECOMM Connectivity Service, or
Mobile PERS Web Application Services that are inconsistent with any warranties
made by LIFECOMM.

10.4 Disclaimer of
Warranty. The express warranties in this subsection are in
lieu of all other warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, regarding

Web Application Services, or the User Documentation, including any warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement
of third-party rights. AMAC acknowledges that it has relied on no
warranties other than the express warranties in this Agreement and that no
warranties are made by any of LIFECOMM’s suppliers. WITHOUT LIMITING
THE FOREGOING, (i) LIFECOMM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE DEVICE, LIFECOMM
CONNECTIVITY SERVICE, LIFECOMM MOBILE PERS API, LIFECOMM WEB APPLICATION
SERVICES, OR ANY PART THEREOF WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR WILL NOT
SUFFER DOWNTIME OR OTHER OUTAGE; (ii) LIFECOMM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE THIRD
PARTY PROVISION OF WIRELESS NETWORK SERVICES WILL NOT FAIL, MALFUNCTION, OR BE
DEFECT- OR ERROR-FREE; AND (iii) AMAC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCT WILL BE

OUTAGES. EACH PARTY FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE OTHER
PARTY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARDWARE, SOFTWARE OR OTHER PRODUCTS OR
SERVICES PROVIDED BY PERSONS OTHER THAN SUCH PARTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SUCH PARTY AND/OR ANY OTHER
PERSON OR BUSINESS ENTITY.

AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS ON ITS LIABILITY. THE FOREGOING
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE INDEPENDENT OF ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF
WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
12. INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 Indemnification by
LIFECOMM.
(b) Infringement. LIFECOMM
will defend at its own expense any action against AMAC brought by a third party
to the extent that the action is based upon a claim that the Device or any other
component of the AMAC Bundle infringes any copyrights or U.S. patents or
misappropriates any trade secrets and LIFECOMM will pay those costs (including
litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) and damages finally awarded
against AMAC in any such action, that are specifically attributable to such
claim or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such
action. LIFECOMM further agrees to indemnify AMAC against any other costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by AMAC, and its directors, officers, and
employees in connection with such claim or action. The foregoing
obligations are conditioned on AMAC notifying LIFECOMM promptly in writing of
such action, AMAC giving LIFECOMM sole control of the defense thereof and any
related settlement negotiations, and AMAC cooperating and, at LIFECOMM’s
reasonable request and expense, assisting in such defense; provided that a
resolution of any claim that requires an admission of liability from AMAC will
require AMAC’s prior written consent; and further provided that if AMAC
determines that LIFECOMM has abandoned the defense of any such claim, AMAC shall
have the right, in its own behalf, to adjust, settle, defend or otherwise
dispose of such claim, and LIFECOMM shall indemnify AMAC and its directors,
officers, and employees against any costs and damages (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred with respect thereto. If the Device or any
other component of the AMAC Bundle becomes, or in LIFECOMM’s opinion is likely
to become, the subject of an infringement claim, LIFECOMM may, at its option and
expense, either (i) procure for AMAC the right to continue exercising the rights
licensed to AMAC in this Agreement; or (ii) replace or modify the Device or
other component of the AMAC Bundle, as applicable, so that it becomes
non-infringing and remains functionally equivalent. This subsection
states LIFECOMM’s entire liability and AMAC’s sole and exclusive remedy for
infringement claims and actions.

electronic materials provided, or authorized in writing, by LIFECOMM,

litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) and damages finally awarded
against AMAC in any such action, that are specifically attributable to such
claim or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such
action that is approved by LIFECOMM. LIFECOMM further agrees to indemnify AMAC
against any other costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by AMAC, and its
directors, officers, and employees in connection with such claim or
action. The foregoing obligations are conditioned on AMAC notifying
LIFECOMM promptly in writing of such action, AMAC giving LIFECOMM sole control
of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations, and AMAC
cooperating and, at LIFECOMM’s reasonable request and expense, assisting in such
defense; provided that a resolution of any claim that requires an admission of
liability from AMAC will require AMAC’s prior written consent; and further
provided that if AMAC determines that LIFECOMM has abandoned the defense of any
such claim, AMAC shall have the right, in its own behalf, to adjust, settle,
defend or otherwise dispose of such claim, and LIFECOMM shall indemnify AMAC and
its directors, officers, and employees against any costs and damages (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred with respect thereto.

Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LIFECOMM will have no
obligation under this subsection or otherwise with respect to any claim to the
extent arising out of or resulting from (i) any unauthorized use or distribution
of the AMAC Bundle by AMAC or any of its Clients; (ii)
any use of the AMAC Bundle in combination with other products, equipment,

claim or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such
action that is approved by AMAC. AMAC further agrees to indemnify

claim or action. The foregoing obligations are conditioned on
LIFECOMM notifying AMAC promptly in writing of such action, LIFECOMM giving AMAC
sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations, and

under any circumstances whether or not such damages may be available under state
or federal law, or under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association, and the Parties hereby waive their right, if any, to
recover any such damages. The arbitration proceeding shall be
conducted in New York County, New York. Within *** of the written
demand of initiation of the arbitration procedure, the Parties shall select a
neutral arbitrator, who shall be a person who has over ten years professional
experience in commercial transactions of this nature and who has not previously
been employed by any Party and does not have a direct or indirect interest in
any Party or the subject matter of the arbitration. At the time of
appointment, the arbitrator shall be required to undertake to issue a final
decision within *** of the date of the initial demand for
arbitration. Any arbitration proceeding and the arbitrator's
determination shall be maintained in confidence by the parties, except to the
extent disclosure is required by law or judicial proceeding having competent
jurisdiction. Other than matters in which termination is sought by
the Non-breaching Party pursuant to Section 13(b)(i), arbitration shall not be
required except by written consent of the Parties.

data acquired from LIFECOMM, or any products utilizing such data, in violation
of the United States export laws or regulations.
14.4 Severability. If any provision
of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the
other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or
unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and
enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, AMAC agrees that Section 11 (Limitation of
Liability) will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of
any provision in Subsection
10.2 (Warranties by LIFECOMM).
14.5 Waiver. Any waiver
or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not
be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other
occasion.
14.6 Remedies. Except as
expressly provided in Sections
10 (Warranties) and 12
(Indemnification), the parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement
are cumulative. AMAC acknowledges that the Devices, LIFECOMM
Connectivity Service and LIFECOMM Mobile PERS API contain valuable trade secrets
and proprietary information of LIFECOMM and its suppliers, that any actual or
threatened breach of Section 9
(Confidentiality) or any other breach of its obligations with respect to
Intellectual Property Rights of LIFECOMM will constitute immediate, irreparable
harm to LIFECOMM for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and
that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach. If
any legal action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will
be entitled to receive its attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other collection
expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive.
14.7 No Assignment. This
Agreement, and each Party’s rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned,
subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by a Party without the other
Party’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract,
delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void;
provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement, and its rights
and obligations under this Agreement in connection with a Change of Control of
such Party, or to an entity into which such Party is merged in connection with a
change in such Party’s State of incorporation, without the consent of the other
Party, subject to ***. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding
upon successors and permitted assignees.
14.8 Force Majeure. Any
delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except
the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if
such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire,
earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided
that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the
other party of the circumstances causing the delay and to resume performance as
soon as possible.

14.9 Independent
Contractors. AMAC’s relationship to LIFECOMM is that of an
independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the
other. AMAC will not have, and will not represent to any third party
that it has, any authority to act on behalf of LIFECOMM.
14.10 Notices. Each party must
deliver all notices or other communications required or permitted under this
Agreement in writing to the other party at the address listed on the signature
page by courier, by certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return
receipt requested), or by a nationally-recognized express mail
service. Notice will be effective upon receipt or refusal of
delivery. If delivered by certified or registered mail, any such
notice will be considered to have been given five (5) business days after it was
mailed, as evidenced by the postmark. If delivered by courier or
express mail service, any such notice shall be considered to have been given on
the delivery date reflected by the courier or express mail service receipt. Each
party may change its address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such
change to the other party.
14.11 Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original and all of which shall be taken together and deemed to be one
instrument.
14.12 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to
such subject matter. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, or any
waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing
and signed by AMAC and LIFECOMM.

Brownouts. AMAC
acknowledges and agrees that Brownouts may be put in place by the Wireless
Carrier and Roaming Carriers from time to time in the provision of the cellular
connectivity portion of the LIFECOMM Connectivity Service and the Roaming
Carrier’s CMRS and/or Data Service, or PIN codes may be required by the Roaming
Carrier. The Wireless Carrier may implement a Brownout in the
Territory. LIFECOMM will endeavor to promptly provide AMAC with
notice after the commencement or occurrence of any Brownout, but LIFECOMM’s
failure to provide such notice will not be considered a breach of its obligation
under this Agreement.
Interference. AMAC
shall assist LIFECOMM and the Wireless Carrier in taking all actions necessary
as determined by the Wireless Carrier in its sole discretion to prevent and/or
terminate actual or potential Interference with Facilities, Systems and/or the
cellular connectivity portion of the LIFECOMM Connectivity
Service. “Interference” shall mean causing actual or potential harm
to the Facilities, Systems, LIFECOMM Connectivity Service or the performance
metrics of the Wireless Carrier Facilities or Systems, and includes Fraudulent
Usage. Such harm may include, but shall not be limited to the (i)
disproportionate use of the Wireless Carrier Facilities’ resources, air link,
backbone network, (ii) any use that adversely affects the performance metrics,
as determined by the Wireless Carrier, of Facilities, Systems or LIFECOMM
Connectivity Service, or (iii) the impairment of the quality of LIFECOMM
Connectivity Service provided to End Users or any Customer. In the
event that there is Interference, AMAC shall immediately cease such Interference
or promptly order the End User to cease from engaging in such act(s) of
Interference. In the extent that such Interference continues despite
the above, LIFECOMM shall have the right to discontinue the cellular
connectivity portion of the LIFECOMM Connectivity Service to that End User or
the MDN assigned thereto and/or deny AMAC’s access to Systems (in the case of
Interference to Systems, in accordance with an applicable System policy), and
LIFECOMM shall provide AMAC with written notification of such discontinuance
promptly thereafter. AMAC shall assist LIFECOMM in taking all actions
necessary to prevent further Interference. In the event LIFECOMM or
the Wireless Carrier determines the Interference is adverse to Facilities,
Systems or the cellular connectivity portion of the LIFECOMM Connectivity
Service, LIFECOMM and the Wireless Carrier reserve the right to suspend any new
Activation of Interfering Equipment.
Area Code
Relief. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith to
implement any area code relief in a given Territory. LIFECOMM may
provide notice, if and as available, of any area code relief. AMAC
shall reprogram the Equipment and may be required to notify affected End Users
of any changes in MDNs. Any failure by AMAC to comply with such
obligations may adversely affect AMAC’s ability to provide LIFECOMM Connectivity
Service or to timely xxxx End Users, but the Wireless Carrier shall still
invoice AMAC, and AMAC shall still be obligated to pay for any LIFECOMM
Connectivity Service or Roaming used after the area code relief. AMAC
is responsible for obtaining area code information from NANPA (xxx.xxxxx.xxx) or
the applicable state public utility commission website.
Radio Frequency (RF)
Enhancer. AMAC shall not install, deploy, or use any
regeneration equipment or similar mechanism (for example, a repeater) to
originate, amplify, enhance, retransmit or regenerate a transmitted RF
signal.

Wireless Carrier’s Right To Modify
Rates, Charges, Fees and Other Amounts.
AMAC
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Wireless Carrier may change, introduce,
terminate, add, adjust, and/or modify, any and all “non-Wireless Carrier” rates
(e.g. Roaming), Taxes, charges, fees, tables, charts, discounts, and/or the
qualification requirements (if any, for such items) upon *** prior notice to
LIFECOMM, in which case LIFECOMM may make a corresponding change to the rates,
taxes, charges, fees, tables, charts, discounts and/or the qualification
requirements upon *** prior
notice. AMAC acknowledges and agrees that any such change,
termination, adjustment and/or modification shall apply to all Active MDNs
hereunder, except as expressly provided by LIFECOMM in the notice required under
this paragraph.
Wireless Carrier’s Right to Modify
Business Practices. This Agreement is subject to all
applicable business practices, policies, and procedures of the Wireless Carrier
of which AMAC has notice. Such procedures, policies and business
practices may be modified or changed, or new business practices, policies and
procedures introduced, at any time upon *** notice, which
may be provided by posting on the Wireless Carrier’s website (at an address to
be provided by the Wireless Carrier) or written notice to AMAC via email, USPS,
or courier service, provided, that such change may not materially modify,
curtail or otherwise diminish the Wireless Carrier’s or AMAC’s material
obligations hereunder.
Facility
Modifications. AMAC acknowledges that CMRS and Data Service is
a rapidly changing industry and technology and as such neither LIFECOMM nor the
Wireless Carrier shall be liable to AMAC or to AMAC's End Users if changes in
any of the Facilities, Systems, operations, equipment, procedures, or LIFECOMM
Connectivity Service render obsolete any Equipment, service, software and/or
applications provided by AMAC to End Users in conjunction with use of the
LIFECOMM Connectivity Service.
Privacy and Security of LIFECOMM
Connectivity Service. AMAC acknowledges neither LIFECOMM, the
Wireless Carrier, nor any of their Affiliates can guarantee the privacy or
security of any transmission, including voice and/or data transmitted through
the use of the cellular connectivity portion of the LIFECOMM Connectivity
Service or Roaming.
Capacity
Limitation. The parties recognize that unusual concentrations
of the cellular connectivity portion of the LIFECOMM Connectivity Service usage
may occur in certain locations. Neither LIFECOMM nor the Wireless
Carrier shall incur liability for its inability to provide adequate LIFECOMM
Connectivity Service hereunder if such liability is due to a lack of capacity on
the Wireless Carrier Facilities or Carrier Facilities which results from the
aforesaid usage concentration, and nothing herein shall require LIFECOMM or the
Wireless Carrier to expend any capital or resources to ensure capacity for
AMAC’s or its End Users' use of LIFECOMM Connectivity Service or
Roaming.

AMAC
agrees to and acknowledges the following: The CMRS and/or Data
Service are subject to transmission limitations caused by atmospheric and like
conditions. The cellular connectivity portion of the LIFECOMM
Connectivity Service may be temporarily interrupted or curtailed due to
government regulations, suspected fraudulent activities, network modifications,
upgrades, relocations, repairs and similar activities necessary or appropriate
for the proper or improved operation of the LIFECOMM Connectivity Service. The
cellular connectivity portion of the LIFECOMM Connectivity Service is subject to
network and transmission limitations, including cell site unavailability,
particularly near boundaries and in remote areas. Equipment, weather,
topography and other environmental considerations also affect CMRS and/or Data
Service and such CMRS and/or Data Service may vary significantly within
buildings, or dependent upon the location of the Equipment. With
digital-only Equipment the End User can only make and receive calls and/or
transmit data when CDMA digital service is available. When CDMA
digital service is not available, such Equipment will not be able to make and
receive calls and/or transmit data of any kind.
