Exhibit A

Replacement fees. Certain Customer Programs require Customer to pay fees in regard to lost or damaged Products. The Company may waive such fees in its sole discretion in instances where Customer has followed the standard operating procedures that are provided by Company to Customer during training. Such procedures shall include the following:

• Capturing all required motorist information to complete a deployment in the BEMS, including vehicle make, model, license plate and appropriate photos of the vehicle;

• Maintaining a reasonable practice of monitoring alerts and notices that are sent by the BEMS to allow an opportunity to deal with any tampering; and

• Undertaking reasonable efforts to recover devices, where possible, by utilizing the GPS positioning reports.

If the Company determines to waive replacement fees, Customer shall only be responsible for standard shipping and handling fees for such new devices

replacement of lost or damaged devices other than standard shipping and handling fees for such new devices.

The replacement fee for a lost or damaged device shall be the standard rate set by the Company from time to time pursuant to its internal policies, plus shipping and handling.

Customer acknowledges and agrees it understands its obligations under this section regarding damaged, stolen, or lost Products and that such fees for lost, stolen, or damaged Products may be given to Customer or posted for Customer’s access with other BPE Policies in accordance with Section 7 herein.

Deposits. The Company may, in most instances, collect deposits from a motorist for the safe return of devices. In the event a device is not returned or is returned damaged, the Company may capture the deposit and shall retain that deposit to offset the cost of replacement device.

Upgrades. Certain Customer Programs do not include upgrades for new device models, features or firmware. Certain charges may apply and shall be charged pursuant to the Company’s internal policies.
