If the resolution of such a dispute under Section 11.2 determines that ADT is owed any unused credits against future payments, ADT can apply such amounts against subsequent invoices issued by Alarm.com.

SECTIONS 8.1(a) AND 8.3 STATE ADT’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FROM ALARM.COM FOR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT.
8.4 Subject to Section 9.4 below, ADT shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Alarm.com and its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees and shareholders, and all of their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Alarm.com Indemnified Parties”), from and against any Claims that may be incurred by, asserted against, or recoverable from any Alarm.com Indemnified Party for the following:
(a) any and all Claims made by a third party based upon infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Right by (i) a Third Party Product requested to be integrated with an Indemnified Product to the extent of any indemnification obtained by ADT from any applicable third party for such product, and (ii) an ADT Custom Product to the extent that such Claim is directly caused by the written specifications, designs and instructions for such ADT Custom Product provided by ADT (or by, ADT Dealers, ADT’s Affiliates, or agents at the direction of ADT);
(b) damage to, destruction of, or loss of property or the injury to or death of any person arising out of or in connection with ADT’s negligent performance of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such damage or loss is caused by the negligence of any Alarm.com Indemnified Party;
(c) the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of ADT or its Personnel;
(d) ADT’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder; or
(e) any material violation of any Applicable Law by ADT in the Territory.

8.5 SECTION 8.4(a) STATES ALARM.COM’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FROM ADT FOR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT.
8.6 The obligations of a party (the “Indemnifying Party”) to defend and to indemnify the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) are subject to the Indemnified Party providing the Indemnifying Party with: (i) prompt written notice of the Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification, provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall only release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure, (ii) exclusive control over the defense and settlement of such Claim, and (iii) at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, reasonable information and assistance to settle or defend any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that an Indemnifying Party is unwilling or unable to sufficiently defend a Claim, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Claim with respect to the Indemnified Party, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.6, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not be relieved of its obligations under Section 8.1 or 8.4, as applicable. The Indemnifying Party will not enter into a settlement of a Claim that involves a remedy other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its discretion and sole cost to be represented by its own counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense of any action in which it or any of its Indemnified Parties is named as a party defendant, and the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval will be required for any settlement that reasonably can be expected to require a material affirmative obligation of or result in any ongoing material liability to it or any of its Indemnified Parties.

Schedule 1 - Subscriber Agreement Terms
Each Subscription Agreement must contain the following terms (or terms with substantially similar effect):
“ADT or the ADT Dealer, as applicable may use one or more subcontractors, vendors or licensors to provide installation, repair, monitoring, communications, signal transmission services (including cellular transmission, Internet and/or VoIP services) or other services. To the extent permitted by law, the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement shall apply to the work, products or services that ADT or the ADT Dealer’s subcontractors, vendors and licensors provide, and shall apply to them and protect such subcontractors, vendors and licensors in the same manner as it applies to and protects ADT or the ADT Dealer.”

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
Schedule 2 - Pricing
1. Background Considerations. The parties recognize that the prices Alarm.com sets when an account is created are intended to be the price of the account for the life of the communication gateway servicing that account. At times, Alarm.com's costs are directly a function of the gateway's messaging efficiency. Alarm.com may also subsidize the hardware costs at time of sale in anticipation of a certain ongoing recurring revenue stream. Alarm.com may commission its sales representative based on the expected lifetime value of the recurring service revenue, or Alarm.com may have offered the account originating dealer a special rebate or SPIFF in anticipation of a certain revenue stream. Alarm.com may have provided banks and investors with financial forecasts which anticipate already negotiated rate structures to remain intact, and lastly, Alarm.com's economic terms with the cellular carrier used when the communications gateway is deployed may be fixed and different than the economics required to deploy services to a home or business today. For these and other reasons, Alarm.com does not retroactively change the prices for units that have already been placed in service.
Likewise, when ADT creates a new Subscriber, ADT establishes a certain monthly rate with the Subscriber, and commits to certain account creation capital costs which anticipate a prescribed value of a recurring revenue stream from the newly created account. It would be difficult for ADT to manage its business if Alarm.com increased the Alarm.com costs for accounts that ADT has already placed into service. For these and other reasons and except as otherwise permitted by the Agreement, Alarm.com agrees that it will not increase the prices for accounts that have already been placed into service unless it has incurred verifiable third party cost increases (taxes, communication costs, etc.).
With these considerations in mind, the parties have established the pricing terms set forth in this Schedule 2 for the Alarm.com Services other than in relation to the Connect Platform, the pricing terms for which are set forth in Schedule 7 (Connect Platform Terms).
2. Basic Fee Structure. Alarm.com’s total charge to ADT for the Alarm.com Services (“Fees”) are based on the combined gross number of Subscribers whose account is activated in a calendar month under this Agreement (the “Monthly Account Creation Rate”). For clarity, any Bulk Account Acquisition of Subscribers activated prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement or of accounts activated by any entity acquired by ADT that was already an Alarm.com Dealer as of May 1, 2014 shall be excluded from this Monthly Account Creation Rate. The Fees will apply regardless of whether the installation uses a single communication path (either a managed cellular network or an unmanaged broadband service path), or a dual communication path (either a managed cellular path and an unmanaged consumer broadband service path), and are inclusive of all costs, including cellular costs (where applicable) related to managing a managed and supervised wireless connection and apply irrespective of wireless carrier.
3. Fees for New Accounts. From December 1, 2014 through December 31st, 2015 (the “Ramp Up Period”), Alarm.com shall charge ADT a monthly Fee that is no more than the applicable amount shown in column C of the chart below for each Subscriber whose account is activated under this Agreement - unless ADT's Monthly Account Creation Rate qualifies for the Fees in columns D, E, or F, in which case Alarm.com shall charge ADT a monthly Fee for each such Subscriber that is no more than the amount shown in the column applicable to the Monthly Account Creation Rate during the month in which that Subscriber is activated. Upon the expiration of the Ramp Up Period, Alarm.com shall calculate an average Monthly Account Creation Rate for the preceding three months and reset the Fees in accordance with the chart below for Subscriber accounts activated thereafter (i.e., all previously activated Subscribers remaining at their already established Fee). Upon each one year anniversary thereafter, Alarm.com shall reset the Fees in the same manner for Subscribers activated thereafter, but using an average Monthly Account Creation Rate over the preceding twelve months. As of the Pricing Effective Date (as defined below in Section 9(b) of this Schedule 2), the following pricing shall apply for both the US and Canada:

Note: The [***] per [***] is cumulative such that the [***] between the [***] and the [***] fee is [***] by [***]% as of [***] after the [***] of the Qualifying Transaction. For example, if the [***] for an acquired account is $[***] as of the closing date of the Qualifying Transaction and the [***] fee is $[***] as of that same date, then starting in [***] following the [***] the fee for that account will be [***] by $[***] to $[***] and in [***] by another $[***] to $[***], etc. until as of [***] the fee be $[***].
If ADT incurs the cost to physically replace the existing Alarm.com gateway for any Subscriber acquired as part of a Qualifying Transaction with a new Alarm.com-approved gateway, the Fee for such Subscriber will be then prevailing rate that ADT is charged for new accounts at the time of the change (i.e., the Subscriber will be treated as a new activation under Section 3 above).
For clarity, the [***] of Fees set forth in this Section 5 shall not apply if the total number of Alarm.com accounts acquired as part of a Bulk Account Acquisition is greater than [***].
6. Equipment Pricing. The following equipment shall be available for ADT to purchase from Alarm.com directly, with ground shipping included:
Part Description | Price |
Image Sensor (for any supported panel) | $[***] |
Image Sensor w/ Daughterboard * | $[***] |
Indoor Wireless Fixed IP Camera | $[***] |
Indoor Wireless Fixed IP Camera w/ Night Vision | $[***] |
Indoor Wireless Pan/Tilt Camera | $[***] |
Indoor PoE Dome Camera | $[***] |
Outdoor PoE IP Camera w/ Night Vision | $[***] |
Outdoor Wireless IP Camera w/ Night Vision | $[***] |
Single Channel Analog to IP Video Server | $[***] |
4-Channel Analog to IP Video Server | $[***] |
Streaming Video Recorder w/ 1TB Storage | $[***] |
Streaming Video Recorder w/ 2TB Storage | $[***] |
*The Image Sensor with Daughterboard configuration sold by Alarm.com is only required for [***] panels.

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
7. Equipment Upgrades. Alarm.com recognizes that ADT owns Subscriber accounts whose equipment utilizes the 2g GSM network and that those accounts may need to be upgraded to newer generation technology in the coming years. Alarm.com will invest in this replacement initiative by offering to sell directly to ADT CDMA3g and LTE radios for use with the [***] and [***] panels for $[***] and $[***], respectively. Furthermore, Alarm.com will offer ADT a $[***] credit per Subscriber account that is upgraded from a non-Alarm.com 2g radio to an Alarm.com CDMA 3g or LTE radio, and will design a replacement process to be used by ADT for this initiative that will facilitate the exchange of information required to qualify for and process these credits. The radios that Alarm.com will provide to ADT for this upgrade will enable interactive services inclusive of z-wave services. If ADT intends to leave the account on a basic alarm service, the radio upgrade will enable ADT to offer a Pulse/Alarm.com service in the future to these Subscribers, or as an inducement in the present to drive upgrade activity. Upon the upgrade of a Subscriber account from a 2g to 3g/LTE Alarm.com module, the monthly Fee for such Subscriber account will be changed to the then prevailing rate ADT is charged for new accounts at the time of upgrade (i.e., the Subscriber will be treated as a new activation under Section 3 above).
8. Currency Exchange Rate Provisions. The Alarm.com Fees due from ADT for all Subscribers in Canada shall be paid in US Dollars, provided the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar is within plus or minus [***]% of equal par value (i.e., $1.00 USD = $1.00 CD). In the event the exchange rate is greater than [***]% equal par value as of the date of invoice from Alarm.com, the Fees due from ADT to Alarm.com shall be adjusted by [***] of the percentage difference beyond the [***]% threshold. This adjustment will be performed on a monthly basis, as of the date of the invoice and based upon the Canada/US exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada. By way of example, if as of the date of invoice one U.S. Dollar can be exchanged for [***] Canadian Dollars, then no adjustment shall be made to the amount due from ADT to Alarm.com in U.S. Dollars. By way of another example, if as of the date of invoice one U.S. Dollar can be exchanged for [***] Canadian Dollars, then the amount due from ADT to Alarm.com in U.S. Dollars shall be reduced by [***]% (calculated as [***] of [***]% beyond the [***]% threshold). Beginning January 1, 2016, Alarm.com shall bill ADT for its accounts located in Canada in Canadian Dollars as follows: (a) for customers that were created prior to the Pricing Effective Date, Alarm.com shall convert the US Dollar price per account in effect on January 1, 2016 into Canadian Dollars using the exchange rate provision in this Section 8 of Schedule 2 of the Agreement and that shall be ADT’s price in Canadian Dollars for each month thereafter. By way of example, if on January 1, 2016 Alarm.com is billing ADT $5.00 USD for an account located in Canada that was created on October 31, 2015, and the exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada on January 1, 2016 is 1.35, then on January 1, 2016 Alarm.com shall convert the $5.00 USD into $6.13 CAD and bill ADT at that rate for that account for each billing cycle thereafter; and (b) for customers created on or after the Pricing Effective Date, Alarm.com shall bill ADT in Canadian Dollars at the applicable rates above pursuant to the performance objectives outlined in this Schedule 2 of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Alarm.com shall bill ADT, and ADT shall pay, for its customers located in the US in US Dollars at the applicable rates above pursuant to the performance objectives outlined in this Schedule 2 of the Agreement.
9. Canada-Specific Pricing Provisions.
(a)ADT Canada Volume Commitment. ADT agrees that the collective ADT and Protection One Affiliates operating in Canada (“ADT Canada”) will create at least [***] ([***]) accounts using the Alarm.com Services during each calendar year during the Term on the Telus network. All pricing and billing terms contained in Section 3 of this Schedule 2 of the Agreement as applied to ADT Canada are contingent upon ADT Canada satisfying this commitment. Failure of ADT Canada to meet this commitment shall not be a breach of this Agreement.
(b)Pricing Effective Date. All price adjustments contained in Section 3 of this Schedule 2 of the Agreement shall be effective for customers created on or after November 1, 2015 (the “Pricing Effective Date”).
22
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
(c)Fees For Existing Accounts. On the Pricing Effective Date, Alarm.com will [***] the Fees charged to ADT Canada for all Subscriber accounts created on or before the Pricing Effective Date by [***]. [***].

Schedule 3 -Support, Security & Access
1. SUPPORT SERVICES & DISASTER RECOVERY
1.1 Support Services
(a) Alarm.com shall be responsible for providing support services in accordance with this Schedule 3 and as further specified in Exhibit A hereto (“Support Services”). Alarm.com shall at all times provide Support Services for all versions of the Alarm.com Services and Alarm.com-ready Products in use by Subscribers (including but not limited to the Connect Platform). In the event that Alarm.com decides to cease providing Support Services to any version or release of the Alarm.com Services, then Alarm.com shall provide ADT with notice at least [***] ([***]) months prior to the effective date of Alarm.com’s cessation of Support Services to any of its Subscribers for such version or release if more than [***]% of the Subscribers will potentially be impacted. If more than [***]% of the Subscribers, but less than [***]% of Subscribers will be impacted, then Alarm.com shall provide ADT with notice of at least [***] ([***]) months. If fewer than [***]% of Subscribers will be impacted, then Alarm.com shall provide ADT with notice of at least [***] ([***]) months.
(b) Alarm.com will be responsible for resolving all support issues and coordinating support with third party vendors. Alarm.com will provide Tier 2 Support to ADT and ADT Dealers, as well as support for system-wide problems with Alarm.com Services, all as further described in Exhibit A. The parties intend that ADT will provide Tier 1 Support to Subscribers.
(c) Each party shall designate technical support contacts and provide telephone hotline and cell phone numbers as a part of the Support Services detailed in Exhibit A.
(d) For clarity, Alarm.com’s failure to perform any of its obligations under the Support Services shall be a default in a material obligation under Section 1.3 of Schedule 4.
1.2 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. “Business Continuity” means the process of developing plans and capabilities, and performing activities designed to prevent, mitigate, respond to and recover from circumstances that substantially degrade or inhibit Alarm.com’s ability to provide the Alarm.com Services to ADT. “Disaster Recovery” means the subset of Business Continuity that focuses on responding to and recovering from circumstances that substantially degrade or inhibit Alarm.com’s ability to provide the Alarm.com Services to ADT.
(a) Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Management Program. In order to ensure Services and service levels described in the Agreement and the Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery requirements for business operations included in Exhibit B, Alarm.com will:
(i) Develop and maintain a process for Business Continuity throughout the organization that addresses Alarm.com and its Providers’ Business Continuity so that the provision of the Alarm.com Services provided under the Agreement to ADT is substantially uninterrupted.
(ii) Identify events that can cause material interruptions to business processes, along with the probability and impact of such interruptions and their consequences for information security.
(iii) Develop and implement plans to maintain or restore operations and ensure availability of information at the required level and in the required time scales following interruption to, or failure of, critical business processes. Alarm.com further agrees not to make any material changes to its Business Continuity Plan that will result in a reduction of Alarm.com’s level of support for its Disaster Recovery services provided hereunder.
24
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
(iv) Test and update its Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan every [***] ([***]) months to ensure that they are up to-date and effective. Alarm.com represents that the Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans described in Exhibit C are complete and accurate descriptions of Alarm.com’s Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan for business operations as of the Effective Date of the Agreement.
1.3 Bug Lists. Using the ADT Website, ADT may provide Alarm.com with a list of any suspected failure of the Alarm.com Services and/or Alarm.com-ready Products to operate in material conformance with the Documentation (“Error”) and Alarm.com shall maintain and timely update a complete listing of all such Errors. Alarm.com shall also maintain a list of any known material Error that is adversely affecting the provision of the Alarm.com Services (irrespective of how Alarm.com learned of the Error), which Alarm.com shall also maintain on the ADT Website or other location reasonably accessible by ADT. For each such Error, such listing shall include a description of the problem, indication of the priority assigned to the problem, the current status of the problem, and the manner in which the Error was resolved as applicable. Upon request, Alarm.com shall provide ADT with the list. Alarm.com will use commercially reasonable efforts to address such Errors as part of the Support Services and nevertheless in accordance with applicable industry standards and best practices.
2. HOSTED ENVIRONMENT; ACCESS TO ADT-SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENT
2.1 Hosting Location. Except for the Connect Platform and software supporting it (which shall remain hosted by ADT unless and until otherwise mutually agreed), the Alarm.com Services provided to ADT hereunder and all ADT Data (as defined in Exhibit B to Schedule 3), will be exclusively hosted from the servers located at Alarm.com’s NOC’s located at [***] and [***]. Alarm.com shall not cause nor allow the Alarm.com Services provided to ADT hereunder or the ADT Data to be moved to, operated from, or hosted from any other facility without obtaining ADT’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Alarm.com desires to make such a change, Alarm.com shall notify ADT at least ninety (90) days in advance and in writing and allow the applicable ADT Personnel to perform a security review (which may, at a minimum, include the items described in the Security Requirements Schedule set forth in Exhibit B hereto) of the proposed replacement facility. ADT shall have the right to reject any change to the hosting facility or its location based on a good faith determination by ADT that the new facility does not provide security at least equal to the security provided by the current facility, it being understood that ADT shall not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to an Alarm.com’s proposed change of hosting facility provided that such proposed change of hosting facility will have no negative impact on the agreed upon Service Level Agreement (described in Exhibit A) and any such change will be at no additional cost to ADT.
2.2 ADT-Specific Environment. At ADT’s direction, Alarm.com will create a dedicated ADT Network Operations Center (“ADT NOC”), so long as ADT has in service at least [***] Subscribers using the Alarm.com Services (the “NOC Threshold”). The ADT NOC is intended to ensure business continuity for ADT in the event that Alarm.com is unwilling or unable to provide continued service to ADT or in the event that Alarm.com is purchased by an ADT Competitor (as defined in Schedule 4). Alarm.com, again at ADT’s request and assuming the same Subscriber thresholds for the ADT NOC, will create a second dedicated ADT Network Operations Center (“ADT Failover NOC”) that will mirror the ADT NOC for additional redundancy. ADT will initiate the ADT NOC deployment by sending a written request to Alarm.com (the “NOC Standup Request”) when it has satisfied the number of Subscribers and is prepared to capitalize the development of an additional dedicated ADT NOC or NOCs depending upon the redundancy requirements. Alarm.com will complete the NOC standup activity within [***] ([***]) days of receiving the ADT NOC Standup Request. Once the ADT NOC’s are in operation, Alarm.com will take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure (and in any event will not interfere with) ADT’s virtual and physical access to, and operation of, the ADT NOC or ADT Failover NOC at any time during the Term and the period of the Transition Services. In the event ADT elects to operate the ADT NOC or ADT Failover NOC, Alarm.com shall be relieved from a support obligation under this Schedule 3 to perform a specific function in regard thereto to the extent that ADT has agreed to accept the responsibility for performing such function (for example, if ADT has agreed to be responsible for operating the NOC networking infrastructure, then Alarm.com would not be obligated to manage such operation). Alarm.com shall nevertheless remain responsible for its obligations under the Agreement for the ADT NOC and ADT Failover NOC not under such control of ADT.
25
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
2.3 Requirements for ADT NOC’s. The ADT NOC’s shall be logically separate from the remainder of Alarm.com’s NOC’s using channels dedicated to ADT, which may include without limitation dedicated telephone numbers, IP address ranges and/or domains (if DNS aware), and/or APN; a separate signal processing level (whether separate from or embedded with an application); and separate application servers, database, and messaging architecture (“Dedicated Channel”). The parties shall mutually agree as to any additional physical infrastructure that may be used for the ADT NOC (e.g., servers, separate cage, storage, receivers, and signal processors); provided however that the physical infrastructure for the ADT NOC’s must remain scalable, in accordance with applicable industry standards and best practices, such that the performance and Availability of the Alarm.com Services is not impacted thereby. With the exception of the Alarm.com IP (which is addressed elsewhere in the Agreement), all hardware and software for the ADT Dedicated Channels shall be owned by, or licensed directly to, ADT and shall be freely transferable by ADT at any time.
2.4 Cost of the ADT NOC’s. The costs associated in building the ADT NOC and ADT Failover NOC will be borne by ADT. This would include costs for acquiring equipment, software licenses, and all other components required to clone the Alarm.com system at the time of replication and costs for running the instance including any incremental additional facilities, network, power and other operational costs due to the ADT NOC’s. Alarm.com will license its software to the ADT NOC and ADT Failover NOC free of any additional charges with such license fees covered in the monthly Fees per Subscriber that Alarm.com charges ADT pursuant to Schedule 2. Alarm.com will incur additional labor costs for initially building and then operating and maintaining the ADT NOC and potentially the ADT Failover NOC. Exact costs may vary through time and as the configuration evolves and some software license costs may be shared with the ADT Failover NOC if this is also erected. Alarm.com will charge ADT an initial fee equal to the incremental additional labor costs Alarm.com incurs due to setting up and running the ADT NOC’s.
2.5 Data Backup. Independent of the ADT NOC, Alarm.com will create and automate to the extent possible a process for extracting ADT Customer Data from the Alarm.com backend system. This process will be executed on a quarterly basis with the ADT Customer Data backup being delivered to ADT upon completion. In addition, upon request Alarm.com will run the data extraction routine and provide the data as soon as the process has completed.

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
3. AUDIT
3.1 Reporting. As provided in the Agreement, Alarm.com shall provide a written report every month to ADT detailing Alarm.com’s performance relative to the service levels and Support Services defined in Schedule 3. Each report described in this Section 2.1 shall be considered an “Authorized Report.” If the parties are not in agreement with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any Authorized Report, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any bona fide issues or discrepancies revealed by any audit. If any bona fide issues remain unresolved for a reasonable time after such good faith attempts at resolution, the parties shall escalate resolution of the issues to each party's executive management level. If the issues remain unresolved for an additional ten (10) business days and the executive management level contacts are unable to resolve any bona fide issues with respect to the Authorized Report, then the party disputing the Authorized Report (the “Disputing Party”) shall have the right at the Disputing Party’s cost to audit records of the party issuing the Authorized Report (the “Non-Disputing Party”), upon at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Non-Disputing Party. Any such audit shall be conducted during the Non-Disputing Party’s regular business hours and shall not unreasonably interfere with such party’s business activities. ADT will provide a template for such reports to Alarm.com for Alarm.com’s review and approval if ADT requires a particular format for the reports required by this Section.
3.2 Access to Facilities. If any auditor requires access to the Non-Disputing Party’s physical premises, the Disputing Party and such auditor shall, prior to entering the Non-Disputing Party’s premises, sign a non-disclosure agreement and agree not to use the audited information for any purpose not associated with the audit. Further, auditors shall conduct themselves in a businesslike manner.
3.3 SOC 2, Type II Audit. Alarm.com will provide to ADT on a timely basis, (i) prior to January 10 of each year, in respect of the period from October 1 to September 30 of the prior year, its NOC Provider’s SOC 2, Type II audit report, and (ii) as and when reasonably requested by ADT, letters attesting that the controls existing as of the most recent SOC 2 audit report remain in effect as of December 31 of that same year; and (iii) in the event that the SOC2 Audit Report identifies a material weakness that ADT cannot reasonably mitigate with a compensating control, Alarm.com shall provide ADT’s auditors with reasonable access to the books, records, and Personnel of Alarm.com so that they may confirm and certify ADT’s compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”). Alarm.com will comply with the controls documented in the SOC2 audit report at all times.
4. ESCROW
4.1 Deposit. Alarm.com shall establish a source code escrow account (“Escrow Account”) with a mutually agreeable third-party (“Escrow Agent”), in accordance with a mutually agreed upon source code escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) among the parties and the Escrow Agent. ADT agrees to pay the Escrow Agent its fees to establish and maintain the Escrow Account. Subject to agreement on the Escrow Agreement which shall provide for terms substantially similar to those in this Section 4 (ESCROW) with respect to Release Conditions and Source Code Audit, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Escrow Agreement, Alarm.com shall deposit and maintain in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement:
(a) a current copy of the source code of the then-current and all future standard releases on a monthly basis of the software utilized by or in connection with the Alarm.com Services and Alarm.com-ready Products manufactured by (or for) Alarm.com, and all ADT Custom Products, including without limitation the following: all software source code, all software build procedures that would be required to recreate executable code from source modules, current copies of all software object and executable code, all software technical design and server configuration specifications, all firmware source code, all firmware libraries and build procedures, all applicable specifications, and all architectural design documents.
27
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
(b) all existing Alarm.com Documentation and specifications and materials, including any manuals, lists of any compilation and execution procedures, necessary hardware, compilers and third-party software relating to the installation and support of the Alarm.com Services applicable for the Agreement.
Each of (a) and (b) will be written in language (and contain relevant comments) reasonably sufficient for a trained computer programmer of general proficiency to maintain, support, and create derivative works of the items listed above without further assistance from Alarm.com or its Personnel (collectively, the “Deposit”).
4.2 Release Event. The Escrow Agreement will provide that the Escrow Agent shall release the Deposit to ADT, in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement, under the following conditions (each a “Release Event”):
(a) if any one of the following events occurs: (i) Alarm.com files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or an involuntary petition is filed against it that is not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days; (ii) Alarm.com is adjudged bankrupt; (iii) a court assumes jurisdiction of Alarm.com’s assets under a federal reorganization act, or other statute; (iv) a trustee or receiver is appointed by a court for all or a substantial portion of Alarm.com’s assets; (v) Alarm.com suspends business or ceases to conduct its business or otherwise ceases providing the Alarm.com Services in the ordinary course; (vi) Alarm.com ceases to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business or cannot pay its debts as they become due; or (vii) Alarm.com makes an assignment of its assets for the benefit of its creditors;
(b) Alarm.com or its successor fails to perform commercially reasonable bug fixing, or correction of Errors as part of the Support Services for the Alarm.com Services (provided that such release shall not constitute a waiver by ADT of any of its rights and remedies under the Agreement); or
(c) Alarm.com, in its sole discretion, expressly and in writing authorizes release of the Deposit.
4.3 License to Deposit. Upon the occurrence of a Release Event and the release of the Deposit in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and subject to and conditional upon payment by ADT to Alarm.com of the Source Code License Fee in accordance with the terms hereof, Alarm.com hereby grants to ADT a perpetual world-wide, non-exclusive, non-transferable and royalty-bearing (as provided in Section 4.4 below) license, under Alarm.com’s Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Products Software and the Deposit as of the Source Code Delivery Date (as defined below): (i) to use, modify, copy, and prepare derivative works of, the Deposit on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, on a confidential basis, to make, have made, update, provide improvements of, upgrade, prepare derivative works of, reproduce, modify and maintain the Alarm.com Services and Alarm.com-ready Products, (ii) to distribute and sell (and to continue to sublicense to ADT Dealers the right to distribute and sell under this Agreement) Alarm.com Services and Alarm.com-ready Products, in object code form only, for use by new and existing Subscribers, (provided that, for purposes of clarification, the Alarm.com server software may not be distributed to any third party other than to a subcontractor providing hosting services to ADT), and (iii) to have a third-party solely for ADT’s benefit, use, modify, maintain and update the Deposit as necessary or appropriate solely to operate the Alarm.com Services and Alarm.com-ready Products in accordance with the Agreement, to prepare derivative works of the Alarm.com Services on a confidential basis, and to use the Deposit to interface the Alarm.com Services and Alarm.com-ready Products with other software, in each case solely for use in connection with the Subscribers. The source code provided as part of the Deposit will be subject to ADT’s security and confidentiality standards, which shall be no less than the standards used for ADT’s own proprietary source code. ADT will also have the right to add and delete Subscribers as ADT may require to continue to expand its business.
28
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
4.4 Source Code License Fee.
(a) The license fee (the “Source Code License Fee”) payable by ADT for the license to use the Deposit in accordance with the license granted in Section 4.3 above shall be a royalty fee as follows, where Fees refers to the Fees per Subscriber on Schedule 2:
Year One | Year Two | Year Three | Year Four | Year Five |
[***]% of the Fees | [***]% of the Fees | [***]% of the Fees | [***]% of the Fees | [***]% of the Fees |
Note: After Year Five, ADT shall [***].
(b) Commencing on the date of delivery of the Deposit to ADT following the occurrence of a Release Event (the “Source Code Delivery Date”), ADT shall pay Alarm.com the Source Code License Fee to Alarm.com in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that the Source Code License Fee may be offset by any damages recoverable by ADT if the Release Event is under 4.2(b) above. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the release of the source code to ADT, Alarm.com shall have no further obligation to update or maintain the source code being used by ADT.
4.5 Deposit Audit. No more frequently than annually, ADT or an agreed upon third-party at ADT’s sole expense and subject to confidentiality obligations reasonably acceptable to Alarm.com, shall have the right to audit and access the Deposit to ensure Alarm.com’s compliance with the deposit requirements of this paragraph, to verify that all software associated with the Alarm.com-ready Services, Products and environments can be reconstructed.
4.6 No Time Bombs. Alarm.com warrants that the Deposit will not contain any of the following: (a) “time bombs”, time-out or deactivation functions; (b) “back doors” or other means whereby Alarm.com or any other party may remotely access and/or control ADT’s Networks without ADT’s express authorization; (c) functions or routines that will surreptitiously delete or corrupt ADT Data; or (d) computer viruses.
5. SECURITY
5.1 Security Requirements.
(a) Security Processes. In general, Alarm.com will implement and maintain information security processes designed to protect access and maintenance of information related to the Alarm.com Services and ADT Data that are (a) at least equal to applicable industry standards for such types of locations, (b) in accordance with ADT security requirements specified in Exhibit B, and (c) which provide appropriate technical and organizational safeguards against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration or unauthorized disclosure or access of ADT Data.
(b) Alarm.com Personnel. Alarm.com will require all Personnel with access to ADT Data to adhere to substantially similar security and confidentiality provisions as those outlined in the Agreement. In addition, Alarm.com shall require Personnel (including Alarm.com Affiliates) with access to PHI also to expressly agree to the same restrictions and conditions that apply to Alarm.com with respect to PHI as specified in Exhibit B. Alarm.com agrees that all assigned Alarm.com Personnel will be required to satisfactorily complete criminal background checks before such Personnel will be permitted to have access to ADT Data hereunder. Each party is responsible for the activities of its Personnel under the Agreement as if performed by the party directly.
(c) Security Measures. Alarm.com shall implement security measures as specified in Exhibit B hereto designed to protect the Alarm.com Services, computer systems, networks and databases, and any ADT Data processed, transmitted or stored thereon against the risk of penetration by, or exposure to, a third party via any system or feature utilized by Alarm.com in performing such work or accessing such systems. As set forth in Exhibit B such protections will include, but not be limited to: (i) protecting against intrusions, including but not limited to intrusions of operating systems or software, (ii) encrypting PHI and Personal Information while in transit or at rest (except that the user id is not required to be encrypted at rest unless otherwise agreed by the parties) and ADT Data while in transit, and (iii) securing the computer systems and network devices.

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
by ADT current or potential customers, which shall be added to Exhibit B of the Agreement upon mutual agreement, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If such requirements are added to Exhibit B in accordance with this Section, Alarm.com shall comply with all such additional or revised information security requirements within a reasonable period of time, which in no event will exceed six (6) months.
(d) Storage or Transmission of ADT Data. All ADT Data will be stored in a physically and logically secure environment that protects it from unauthorized access, modification, theft, misuse and destruction. In addition to the general standards set forth in the Agreement and in Exhibit B, Alarm.com will maintain an adequate level of physical security controls over its facility that houses such ADT Data including, but not limited to, appropriate alarm systems, fire suppression, access controls (including off-hour controls) which may include visitor access procedures, security guard force, video surveillance, and staff egress searches. Further, Alarm.com will maintain an adequate level of data security controls as defined in Exhibit B, which may include: logical access controls including user sign-on identification and authentication, data access controls (e.g., firewalls, segmentation, encryption, password protection of applications, data files and libraries), accountability tracking, anti-virus software, secured printers, restricted download to disk capability and provision for system backup. Alarm.com shall use and employ a high standard of data protection mechanisms to protect ADT Data that is transmitted over any wireless connection or across any untrusted connection (including, but not limited to, the public Internet) all as further described in Exhibit B.
(f) Data Privacy. Alarm.com represents and warrants that at all times during and after the Term of the Agreement, Alarm.com shall use, handle, collect, maintain, and safeguard all Personal Information (as defined in Exhibit B to Schedule 3) in accordance with Alarm.com’s Privacy Policy currently in effect, as such policy may be changed by Alarm.com in its discretion from time to time, provided such changes are reasonably acceptable to ADT, and with all applicable United States federal, and state consumer privacy laws, regulations and rules (collectively, the “Privacy Rules”) which may be in effect during the Term of the Agreement as it concerns the subject matter of the Agreement. Alarm.com further acknowledges that it alone is responsible for understanding and complying with its obligations under the Privacy Rules. If the ADT Data includes any credit card information, Alarm.com shall be responsible for complying with all information security practices promulgated by United States federal, state, and municipal laws, regulations, and statutes pertaining to the acquisition, handling, and disposition of all such credit card information, and also by industry associations, including, but not limited to, the standards of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. For the sake of clarification, ADT agrees that it will not provide ADT Customer credit card data to Alarm.com, provided that if ADT does inadvertently provide ADT Customer credit card data to Alarm.com, ADT will not be in breach of the Agreement for doing so and Alarm.com’s sole responsibility for such credit card information will be to use diligent efforts to remove it from its systems and any security breach related to this credit card information will not be considered a breach of the Agreement by Alarm.com.
5.2 Notification of Security Incident. Alarm.com shall address every known or suspected breach of security of an Alarm.com system or database that contains ADT Data in the manner specified in Exhibit B hereto. If any breach of the security, confidentiality, or privacy of the ADT Data requires notification by ADT to any party under any of the Privacy Rules, ADT shall have sole control over the timing, content, and method of such notification and Alarm.com shall reimburse ADT for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs in providing the notification.

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
5.3 Security Review
(a) ADT or its authorized representative may, from time to time, but not more frequently than yearly, at its reasonable request perform a security review (which may, at a minimum, include the items described in Exhibit B hereto) of the physical facilities from which the Alarm.com Services are developed, tested, operated or hosted. Alarm.com agrees to meet with ADT to discuss ADT’s security review and the results of such review and Alarm.com shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy any material deficiencies identified by such review.
(b) During the time that Alarm.com is performing hosting services for ADT, Alarm.com or its hosting site Provider, as applicable, will maintain an unqualified SOC 2, Type II compliance on operations and tests of operational effectiveness in its shared services environment.

Exhibit A to Schedule 3 - Service Level Support Related Terms
1. | AVAILABILITY/UPTIME for The Alarm.com Environment |
The “Alarm.com Environment” consists of the servers, storage and networking hardware, operating systems, database management systems and operating platforms and all application software, including Alarm.com software that is required at the data center, or in the Alarm.com-ready Products, to provide the Alarm.com Services contemplated in the Agreement, but specifically excludes communication and/or connectivity systems provided by wireless carriers, telecommunications providers and Internet providers other than the internet providers who provide services to the Alarm.com NOCs.
For the purpose of this Exhibit A, “Software” includes all application software provided by Alarm.com (whether developed by Alarm.com or any third party) intended to run in the Alarm.com Environment to provide the Alarm.com Services contemplated in the Agreement.
“Tier 1 Support” means support provided by ADT Personnel, who receive initial calls from ADT installers, ADT Dealers or Subscribers for issues related to the Alarm.com-ready Products or Alarm.com Services.
“Tier 2 Support” means support provided by Alarm.com Personnel who respond to calls placed by ADT Personnel regarding application and system issues related to the Alarm.com-ready Products or Alarm.com Services and their use and for issues originating from Tier 1 Support.
The following Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) covers the following approach: Alarm.com hosts and manages the Alarm.com Environment as described below (the “Hosted Service”).
1.1 Scheduled Maintenance. Subject to the other terms contained in the Agreement, Alarm.com will make the Alarm.com Services available for ADT’s access seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day. So long as Alarm.com complies with the limitations contained in this paragraph, Alarm.com is permitted to perform periodic maintenance on the portions of the Alarm.com Environment for which Alarm.com is responsible for purposes of system upgrades, maintenance, and backup procedures (“Scheduled Maintenance”). All Scheduled Maintenance will either be performed seamlessly to ADT and the ADT Dealers and the Subscribers (so that they are unaware of the Scheduled Maintenance) or, if not seamless, will (i) be provided upon no less than ten (10) days advance written notice to ADT except in such cases where immediate action by Alarm.com is necessary to maintain the best possible service quality for ADT, the ADT Dealers, and the Subscribers in which case Alarm.com will provide as much advance notice as possible; (ii) be limited to a mutually agreed window initially agreed to be 10:00 p.m. Wednesday to 6:00 a.m. on Thursday (all such times being United States Eastern Time); (iii) not exceed [***] ([***]) [***]per month (except for cases where ADT has requested new functionality and ADT and Alarm.com agree that implementation of the functionality reasonably requires more than [***] ([***]) [***]); and (iv) be subject to ADT’s prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
1.2 Availability SLA. In addition to Scheduled Maintenance, there may be events that from time to time will make the Alarm.com Services not “Available” for a limited amount of time due to unforeseen software, hardware, network, power and/or Internet outages (“Unscheduled Downtime”). Subject to the exclusive remedies set forth in Section 1.3 of this Exhibit A and Section 11.7 of the Agreement, the portions of the Alarm.com Environment for which Alarm.com is responsible will be “Available” at least [***]% of the time measured on a monthly basis (the “Availability SLA”). For purposes of the Agreement, the terms “Available” and “Availability” means that the core functionality of the portions of the Alarm.com Environment for which Alarm.com is responsible is accessible, excluding Scheduled Maintenance, any force majeure event (as described in Section 11.7 of the Agreement) or any loss or interruption of services resulting from actions or inactions of ADT, the ADT Dealers or the Subscribers, or the respective communication and network connectivity service Providers upon which the Alarm.com Services rely including cellular carriers and Internet providers. The Alarm.com Services will also be deemed not Available during the time period in which the system is down during a Severity Level 1 or 2 event in progress.
33
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
The Alarm.com Availability SLA shall cover only the Alarm.com Services.
Actual Availability Percentage of the Alarm.com Services will be calculated with the following formula:
100 minus [(X)[***]; divided by (Y) (i)[***]); multiplied by (Z) 100].
1.3 Downtime Credit. Alarm.com shall provide ADT, within ten (10) days of the end of each month, a report of the previous month’s Availability. In the event that Alarm.com fails to meet the Availability SLA for any month, then, ADT shall, in addition to all of its other rights under Schedule 4 of the Agreement, receive a credit against the Fees payable in the subsequent monthly invoice for the portion of Subscribers affected by the Downtime, which shall be calculated using the table below:
Chart 1.3A SLA for Security Signaling Transmission Time | Monthly Credit | |
Level | Avg. Signal Transmission Time (monthly) | |
1 | [***]-[***] | [***]% |
2 | [***]-[***] | [***]% |
3 | [***]-[***] | [***]% |
4 | [***]-[***] | [***]% |
5 | [***] | [***]% |
*Security Signaling means the generation, storage, and/or and transmission of actual, non-test alarm signals to an ADT central station. *Signal transmission time as measured by duration from Customer site to ADT Control Station. *Signal Incident = signal transmission time > [***]. *Signal times assume ADT is operating an IP receiver. The parties agree ADT may operate either an [***] or [***] receiver, or any other IP receiver mutually agreed upon by the parties. The Security Signaling Transmission Time SLA shall not apply in the event that delay in Security Signaling Transmission Time is due to the ADT IP receivers not properly functioning (due to no fault of Alarm.com). |
Chart 1.3B - SLA for General Availability (EXCLUDES Security Signaling) | Monthly Credit (Consecutive Months) | |||
Availability (%) | Downtime Per Month | Month 1 | Month 2 | Month 3+ |
[***]-[***] | Fewer than [***] | No Credit | ||
[***]- [***] | [***]- [***] | [***]% | [***]% | [***]% |
[***]- [***] | [***]- [***] | [***]% | [***]% | [***]% |
[***] | Greater than [***] | [***]% | [***]% | [***]% |
*The total downtime credit, if any, calculated in Chart 1.3A or 1.3B shall in no event exceed a total of 100% of monthly fees.
The SLA for General Availability shall apply to the Connect Platform as well (including but not limited as to such portions of the Connect Platform contained in any hub in use by a Subscriber), and the SLA for Security Signaling Transmission Time shall apply if the Connect Platform is adapted to provide Security Signaling.
Recognizing that excessively long outages as well as frequent or chronic outages may have significant impact on ADT’s credibility and ADT customer satisfaction, Alarm.com acknowledges that such liquidated damages are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the actual loss and are not intended as a penalty to compel performance. The downtime credit set forth in this Section 1.3 of Exhibit A to Schedule 3 shall be not be duplicative of any amount from any other remedy available to ADT for a failure by Alarm.com to achieve the Availability SLA.
34
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
1.4 Termination Right. Additionally, Alarm.com acknowledges that the payment of any such credit or other liquidated damage will not affect, in any way, the termination rights of ADT set forth in Schedule 4 to the Agreement.

A.Discontinuation Notices. Alarm.com may discontinue manufacturing and supplying Alarm.com-ready Products to and for Buyer (each, a “Discontinued Product”) during the Term upon [***] ([***]) [***] prior written notice to Buyer (each, a “Discontinuation Notice”); provided, however, that notwithstanding such Discontinuation Notice, Alarm.com shall continue to make each Discontinued Product available for purchase by Buyer hereunder for so long as Alarm.com continues to supply such Discontinued Product to any of its other customers.
B.Alarm.com-ready Product Modifications. Alarm.com will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Alarm.com-ready Products that are modified by Alarm.com after the Effective Date (“Modified Product(s)”) shall be “compatible” (as defined herein) in such modified form with all hardware and software utilized by Buyer in conjunction with such Modified Products (including monitoring software) prior to the modification thereof (collectively, “Existing Systems”). In all cases where Alarm.com cannot assure that Modified Products will be compatible with Existing Systems, Alarm.com will provide Buyer with three (3) months written notice in advance of Alarm.com’s implementation of such modification, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue to manufacture compatible Alarm.com-ready Products. For the purposes of the Agreement, an Alarm.com-ready Product shall be “compatible” if it will continue to perform all significant functions when used in conjunction with Existing Systems, without any modification to such Existing Systems. In addition to the foregoing, Alarm.com shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Buyer of any material updates, revisions, changes, enhancements or other modifications (“Modifications”) to any Alarm.com-ready Products sold to or offered for sale to Buyer.
5. PURCHASE ORDERS
A.Generally. Buyer shall purchase only those Alarm.com-ready Products set forth on Purchase Orders duly issued by an authorized representative of Buyer’s corporate Purchasing Department. Each Purchase Order shall, at a minimum, specify the following information for each Alarm.com-ready Product listed thereon: (i) the SKU number and Alarm.com-ready Product name; (ii) the quantity ordered; (iii) the total Purchase Price; (iv) shipping instructions; (v) the final delivery destination (the “Delivery Destination”); and (vi) the required delivery date for the Alarm.com-ready Product at the Delivery Destination (the “Delivery Date”).

52
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
Notice”) electronically, by facsimile, or by mail. The new Delivery Date specified in such Rescheduling Notice shall then become the new Delivery Date for the Purchase Order, which shall in all other respects remain in full force and effect.
C.Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Buyer may cancel any Purchase Order, in whole or in part, without further obligation or liability to Alarm.com, at any time prior to Alarm.com’s shipment of the Alarm.com-ready Products covered by such Purchase Order by providing Alarm.com notice of such cancellation electronically, by facsimile, or by mail.

B.Shipping Terms; Freight Charges. Alarm.com shall ship all Alarm.com-ready Products to Buyer in new condition.

All Alarm.com-ready Products shall be shipped to Buyer (Incoterms 2010) Ex-Works, DDU or as required by Buyer. Title and risk of loss shall pass to Buyer at the time the Alarm.com-ready Products are delivered to the Buyer’s carrier at the Ex-Works or DDU point or the agreed to Incoterms 2010 shipping method. Alarm.com shall convey to Buyer good title, free and clear of all liens and other security interests. Freight charges shall be billed by Buyer’s designated carrier to Buyer’s third party carrier account(s) (as designated by Buyer) unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order. If Alarm.com fails to deliver Alarm.com-ready Products in accordance to the lead-time specified in the Agreement or the applicable Purchase Order, then Alarm.com will be responsible for all premium freight charges and any other associated costs required to supply Alarm.com-ready Product to Buyer as soon as possible.
C.Shipping Delays. Alarm.com will immediately notify Buyer in writing of any event or condition that could delay delivery of the Alarm.com-ready Products beyond the Delivery Date; provided, however, that such notification shall not require Buyer to accept any late shipment or waive any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto.
D.Excess and Premature Product. Buyer shall not be obligated to accept or pay for: (i) any Alarm.com-ready Products in excess of the quantity ordered in its Purchase Order (“Excess Product(s)”), or (ii) deliveries arriving more than five (5) days in advance of the Delivery Date specified on the Purchase Order (“Premature Product(s)”).
E.Product Documentation. Alarm.com shall enclose with each shipment of Alarm.com-ready Products one (1) complete up-to-date set (in electronic or paper format) of its standard user manuals, technical manuals setting forth pertinent information relating to the operation, installation and maintenance of Alarm.com-ready Products, including all warranties and Alarm.com-ready Product warnings, for each Alarm.com-ready Product shipped (collectively, “Product Documentation”). Each Alarm.com-ready Product shall materially conform to the “Performance Warranty” (as defined below) and the terms of the Agreement and applicable orders (each, a “Conforming Product”). An Alarm.com-ready Product will not be deemed a Conforming Product until Buyer receives the corresponding Product Documentation therefor. Buyer shall have the right to use, reproduce, translate and disclose information contained in the Product Documentation to its customers for marketing, maintenance and repair of Alarm.com-ready Products and for such other purposes as Alarm.com may expressly authorize in writing.
53
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
F.Inventory Held By Alarm.com. In the event, at the request and consent of Buyer, Alarm.com holds or maintains possession, custody or control of any Alarm.com-ready Products sold to Buyer hereunder, Alarm.com shall hold all such Alarm.com-ready Products in trust for Buyer, and shall physically segregate and identify all such Alarm.com-ready Products as being property of the Buyer.
7. PERFORMANCE WARRANTY; INSPECTION; ACCEPTANCE
A.Performance Warranty. Alarm.com hereby warrants to Buyer that for a period of the earlier of twelve (12) months from the date of sale to the applicable Subscriber or eighteen (18) months after delivery to Buyer (the “Warranty Period”) that the Alarm.com-ready Products shall: (i) be fit for their intended purpose; (ii) be free from material defects in materials, workmanship, and design; (iii) operate in material conformity with the performance, functionality, and other specifications contained in its Documentation; and (iv) materially conform to all specifications, drawings, and descriptions referenced or set forth in the applicable Purchase Order (collectively, the “Performance Warranty”). The Performance Warranty shall survive the termination and expiration of the Warranty Period with respect to any claim made by Buyer prior to such termination or expiration. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer may, at its option, assign or otherwise transfer the Performance Warranty, in whole or in part, on any particular Alarm.com-ready Product(s) to any of the Subscribers; whereupon (a) such Subscriber may enforce such Performance Warranty against Alarm.com on, in, and for such Subscriber’s own behalf, name, and benefit, and (b) Buyer may enforce such Performance Warranty against Alarm.com on, in, and for Buyer’s or such Subscriber’s behalf, name, or benefit.
B.Warranty Obligations. All return shipments of defective Alarm.com-ready Products to Alarm.com shall be at Alarm.com’s sole cost, risk, and expense. Alarm.com shall bear all shipping cost for warranty returns. Buyer has the right to return Alarm.com-ready Product on a per occurrence basis. No minimum quantity shall be required for returns. At the end of the Warranty Period, Alarm.com will make available to the Buyer any technical documentation (including schematic diagrams), repair parts (to be sold to Buyer at Alarm.com’s cost) and training for Buyer technicians as may be reasonably required to permit Buyer to maintain and repair the Alarm.com-ready Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Alarm.com will have no warranty obligations for Alarm.com-ready Products that are not actually defective or were broken or rendered defective by ADT or an ADT Dealer.
C.Excessive Failure Rates; Recalls. In addition to the Performance Warranty and during the first 36 months of Alarm.com-ready Product deployment, if (i) any of the Alarm.com-ready Products manufactured by (or for) Alarm.com and purchased by ADT or an ADT Dealer from Alarm.com experience greater than [***] annual failure rate (as measured by mutually agreed upon quality metrics/systems) after shipment of such Alarm.com-ready Product(s) to Buyer, or (ii) any Alarm.com-ready Product manufactured by (or for) Alarm.com and purchased by ADT or an ADT Dealer from Alarm.com is subject to a mandatory or voluntary recall issued by Alarm.com, Alarm.com shall [***], provided further that Buyer provides to Alarm.com (a) reasonable documentation to Alarm.com demonstrating that the Alarm.com-ready Products are defective for failing to comply with Alarm.com’s warranty hereunder and not due to misuse, abuse, improper installation or other causes not attributable to Alarm.com; and (b) a reasonable opportunity to inspect the defective Alarm.com-ready Products to confirm compliance with the foregoing terms. For the avoidance of doubt, Alarm.com will only be required to reimburse ADT for such occurrences when Alarm.com has sold the Alarm.com-ready Product directly to ADT, and not when such Alarm.com-ready Product has been sold by another manufacturer or distributor to ADT. For the further avoidance of doubt, the loss of cellular coverage and/or the expiration of a battery do not constitute a product failure for the purposes of measuring this failure rate.
D.Out of Box Warranty. Alarm.com will provide new warranty advance replacement for out-of-box failures if the failure occurs within ninety (90) days of the date of receipt by Buyer. Alarm.com will issue a warranty advance replacement number and form to Buyer. A copy of the advance replacement number will be sent by Buyer with the defective item in order for Buyer to receive proper credit. Warranty advance replacements must be returned to Alarm.com within fifteen (15) days of Alarm.com issuing the advance replacement number to Buyer. Alarm.com will ship the new warranty advance replacement by the same way of the original invoice. If Buyer wants it shipped any other way, the Buyer must pay all shipping charges. Alarm.com will immediately ship the replacement item at no cost to Buyer. If, however, after Alarm.com receives the defective product, the item is found to be outside of the warranty period, then the Buyer will be notified and charged for the item.
54
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
E.Inspection. All Alarm.com-ready Products shall be subject to inspection and testing by Buyer prior to acceptance and payment of the Purchase Price therefor. Any Alarm.com-ready Product requiring installation shall not be deemed finally accepted until Buyer establishes that such Alarm.com-ready Product conforms to the Performance Warranty or Software Warranty, as applicable, through installation, inspection, or use thereof. The Performance Warranty and Software Warranty, as applicable, on each Alarm.com-ready Product shall survive any testing, inspection, delivery, payment, and acceptance of any Alarm.com-ready Product by Buyer.
F.Support for Discontinued Products. Alarm.com shall continue to offer Alarm.com-ready Product support to repair and/or provide service parts for a period of three (3) years beginning with the date the Alarm.com-ready Product is discontinued or no longer offered for sale by Alarm.com.
G.Rights and Remedies. No payment shall be due hereunder for any amount invoiced for any defective Alarm.com-ready Product, Excess Product, Premature Product, or any Alarm.com-ready Product not received at the Delivery Location (“Undelivered Product(s)”). Nothing herein shall limit Buyer’s right to cancel Purchase Orders for defective Alarm.com-ready Products and Undelivered Products hereunder or Buyer’s right to revoke its acceptance of any defective Alarm.com-ready Product under the Agreement or Applicable Law. All of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Section for defective Alarm.com-ready Products shall be in addition to, and cumulative with, Buyer’s other rights and remedies under the Agreement, at law, or in equity.
11. ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES

In the event that Alarm.com develops new Alarm.com-ready Products or modifies its existing Alarm.com-ready Products to incorporate Open Source Software into, or require Open Source Software for the operation of, such Alarm.com-ready Products, Alarm.com shall provide prompt written notice of such fact to Buyer. Alarm.com is and shall continue to be in full compliance with the terms of all licenses relating to the Open Source Software incorporated into or required for the operation of any of the Alarm.com-ready Products (“Open Source Licenses”).

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
3. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
3.1 Alarm.com Roadmap
(i) Within [***] ([***]) days after the Effective Date, and, at a minimum, every [***] ([***]) months during the Term thereafter, Alarm.com shall provide to ADT a preview of the latest version of its Product Roadmap prior to its general release of the Alarm.com Services and Alarm.com-ready Products.
(ii) As used herein, “Product Roadmap” means the document or briefing made generally available to Alarm.com dealers that will detail (a) any and all features projected for upgrades and updates scheduled to be developed during the next succeeding [***] ([***]) months, (b) the target date on which such updates and upgrades are scheduled to be generally commercially available, (c) the hardware products and functionality that Alarm.com intends to support (including the types of regulatory certification (if any) that Alarm.com intends to obtain for such hardware products); and (d) all of Alarm.com’s long term product plans for the following [***] ([***]) months; provided, however, Alarm.com will maintain a separate Product Roadmap for ADT (the “ADT Product Roadmap”) that will catalogue any ADT Custom Products. Alarm.com will maintain the ADT Product Roadmap for ADT alone.
(iii) To the extent that the Product Roadmap or the ADT Product Roadmap includes ADT IP and/or Alarm.com IP, nothing in this Article 6 shall be construed to grant an ownership interest, nor license rights, in or to such ADT IP and/or Alarm.com IP.
3.2 ADT Custom Products
(i) ADT may request that Alarm.com provide ADT with ADT Custom Products, provided, however, any updates or upgrades made generally available to ADT and Alarm.com’s other customers will not constitute ADT Custom Products. “ADT Custom Products” means all deliverables, inventions, discoveries, designs, and new versions of existing Alarm.com Services or Alarm.com-ready Products that Alarm.com develops solely for ADT hereunder, but excludes all Alarm.com Background IP. The parties will agree upon a written Statement of Work (“SOW”) for developing ADT Custom Products, subject to the terms of the Agreement and subject to mutually agreed upon terms regarding compensation, development, acceptance, and support with respect to such ADT Custom Products. Both ADT and Alarm.com agree that ADT Custom Products will not affect the Fees described in Schedule 2 (Pricing Schedule) and Schedule 7 (Connect Platform Terms), except that in some cases such ADT Custom Products may include an ongoing monthly fee for the new service if agreed upon in the SOW. ADT will not be obligated to compensate Alarm.com for the development of any ADT Custom Products other than as set forth in an SOW or otherwise agreed to in writing by ADT and Alarm.com. Alarm.com will deliver the source code for each ADT Custom Product along with the specifications and Documentation relating to such ADT Custom Product, upon delivery or as otherwise agreed in an SOW. Without limiting Alarm.com’s sole ownership of the Alarm.com Background IP, no provision in this Article 3 or elsewhere shall be construed to conflict with or limit ADT’s sole ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights in an ADT Custom Product.
59
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
(ii) If Alarm.com wishes to use any portion of an ADT Custom Product for any of its other customers, ADT in its sole discretion may agree to license such portion of the ADT Custom Product to Alarm.com for such purpose at a mutually agreeable license fee and other commercially reasonable terms. The parties will address whether or not Alarm.com has a right to use any or all of an ADT Custom Product for its other customers, and in what timeframes such right would be exercisable, at the time that the SOW for the ADT Custom Product is developed. It is anticipated that the circumstances surrounding each ADT Custom Product will be different, and as such the SOW will vary from initiative to initiative, but the parties agree generally that an ADT Custom Product would be offered exclusively for ADT customers for a period of one to two years, and then generally enabled for other Alarm.com customers.
3.3 Integration with Third-Party Products. At ADT’s request, Alarm.com agrees to work with ADT to ensure that the Alarm.com Services and Alarm.com-ready Products integrate with third party products and platforms in accordance with the following:
(i) ADT will identify hardware manufacturers and Alarm.com will work directly with a reasonable number of these hardware manufactures to facilitate the design, testing, and introduction of hardware products that interface to Alarm.com-ready Products and the Alarm.com Services in order for them to provide products for ADT. In such cases, Alarm.com will (a) work with the hardware manufacturer to develop requirements and a specifications document that details the hardware, software, and firmware capabilities needed to support the integration (including CPU performance, connectivity, hardware modules, operating system and version(s), device drivers, and tool chain capabilities), (b) work with the hardware manufacturer to develop the software and implementation process that the hardware manufacture will use to compile and configure the software onto the target hardware platform, (c) provide the hardware manufacturer with a validation test that exercises the Alarm.com software on the target hardware platform, (d) work with the hardware manufacturer to ensure that all issues are resolved and that the Alarm.com validation tests pass, (e) perform bring-up (assure product works in a production environment) and final test using the final hardware platform provided by the hardware manufacturer, (f) perform Alarm.com’s quality-assurance tests on the hardware, and (g) generate an “application performance report” to indicate if the implementation by their hardware manufacturer meets the application performance specifications as defined in (a) and is acceptable to ADT. Alarm.com agrees to cooperate with the hardware manufacturers but Alarm.com’s obligation to work with any hardware manufacturers under this Section 3.3(i) shall be subject to the applicable hardware manufacturer similarly working with Alarm.com, entering into confidentiality or other agreements with Alarm.com on terms and conditions acceptable to Alarm.com acting reasonably, and providing reasonable cooperation and support to Alarm.com. To the extent the activities in this Section 3.3(i) are not in the Product Roadmap, such work will be done pursuant to a mutually agreed SOW.
3.4 Issuance of SOW. In each instance when ADT desires to engage Alarm.com to develop ADT Custom Products or perform other services not set forth in the Agreement or an existing Schedule, exhibit or other attachment hereto, the parties will develop and agree upon an SOW defining the services to be provided by Alarm.com, the deliverables (“Deliverables”) and such other details as the parties deem appropriate, and Alarm.com will render such services in accordance with the schedule and standards described in the applicable SOW and in the Agreement. Each SOW shall set forth: (i) a description of the services to be furnished by Alarm.com and corresponding date by which each is to be completed; (ii) the extent (if any) that Alarm.com will maintain, monitor, and support the Deliverable on an ongoing basis; (iii) the compensation to be paid by ADT; (iv) the applicable acceptance criteria (if any); (v) the name of the Project Manager for each party; and (vi) such additional terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties thereto. Each SOW will be governed by the terms of the Agreement and will be binding upon the parties and will be deemed to constitute a part of the Agreement as if fully set forth herein and all rights and obligations of the parties will be deemed to apply to such SOW as if fully set forth therein. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms and conditions of any SOW, the terms and conditions of the Agreement will control, unless an SOW makes specific reference to the section of the Agreement that is to be amended in the SOW. Any exceptions expressly agreed upon in writing by ADT and Alarm.com pursuant to a particular SOW will apply only for purposes of that SOW, and will not be deemed to in any way amend, modify, cancel, or waive the provisions of the Agreement for any other SOW.
60
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
3.5 Project Managers. Each party shall appoint a “Project Manager” to act as liaison with the other party with respect to the ADT Custom Products, as identified on each SOW. The Project Managers shall participate in review meetings as set forth in the applicable SOW or otherwise by mutual agreement. The Project Managers shall have primary responsibility for coordinating all major decisions related to the development of ADT Custom Products. In addition, if required, Alarm.com shall appoint a project resource to manage the development of ADT Custom Products on the development and test environment provided by ADT. The Project Managers shall have the authority to represent each of their respective parties and make any changes to an SOW pursuant to the procedures set forth herein. Each party may replace its Project Manager from time to time as it deems necessary or appropriate upon written notice to the other party.
3.6 Functional/Design Specifications.
(i) For each SOW, Alarm.com shall develop and complete, with ADT’s reasonable cooperation, and deliver to ADT the following specification documents, to the extent applicable:
(a)A document reasonably satisfactory to ADT, setting forth the functional capabilities, parameters and requirements applicable to the development of a Deliverable (the “Functional Specifications”). The Functional Specifications may include user pertinent procedures, data entry requirements and correction procedures, required input formats, output formats (including screen formats and report forms which will be produced or will be capable of being produced), interface requirements among various sub systems, error deduction capabilities, error correction and recovery procedures, and security devices, as is appropriate to adequately detail the Deliverable for testing, evaluation and functionality purposes; and

The Functional Specifications and Design Specifications shall form a part of and be incorporated into the SOW.
(ii)ADT shall have the right to maintain and use the Alarm.com-ready Products in pre-launch product trials, in each trial for up to six (6) months in duration, involving no more than fifty (50) devices, and for no more than three hundred (300) participants.
3.7 Payment for SOWs. Unless otherwise expressly indicated in the SOW, ADT shall pay Alarm.com on a fixed price basis using rates that are no higher than applicable industry standards.
3.8 Reasonable Efforts. Alarm.com shall develop the ADT Custom Products and deliver the Deliverables according to the deadlines set forth in the agreed SOWs. Alarm.com shall diligently perform such development and provide associated Deliverables in a workmanlike and professional manner consistent with applicable industry standards.

61
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
(ii) ADT agrees to provide Alarm.com with such assistance as Alarm.com may reasonably request from time to time in connection with developing the ADT Custom Products, including any activities relating to regulatory certification; provided, however, Alarm.com will be responsible for obtaining such regulatory compliance.
3.10 Change Control. ADT may request reasonable changes to the scope of Services or any SOW by submitting a request in writing to Alarm.com. Once ADT has submitted the request, Alarm.com will use reasonable efforts to respond within five (5) business days with a proposal for undertaking the applicable tasks, a price quote setting forth the fees (if any) applicable to the change, and a timetable for performing the tasks. If ADT accepts Alarm.com's proposal, Alarm.com shall prepare a change control form (“Change Control Form”) pursuant thereto. Once the parties agree, then the Change Control Form, upon execution by both parties, shall amend and become a part of the Agreement or the SOW, and Alarm.com shall proceed to implement such changes in accordance therewith. The parties will agree upon a Change Control Form that will be used for the Agreement.
3.11 Parity. Alarm.com shall, at its sole expense as part of the Fees, continue to incorporate new peripherals, features, and functionality, and improved performance levels into each of its software platforms used as part of the Alarm.com Services that are equal to or better than any third party platforms for interactive security, automation and video services as well as its own other software platforms, including but not limited to the Connect Platform ("Parity"). Alarm.com’s obligation to achieve and maintain Parity shall not apply to the significant software features and non-routine hardware design initiatives for the Connect Platform that are subject to Section 3.2 of Schedule 7.
4. INTEGRATION OF ADT PRODUCTS
4.1 Alarm.com APIs. Upon ADT’s request, Alarm.com will provide application programming interfaces (“APIs”) sufficient for ADT to develop and/or modify non-Alarm.com software applications (“ADT Software”) in order to make them interoperable with the Alarm.com Services and the Alarm.com-ready Products or, at ADT’s option, to have a third party develop software applications for use with Alarm.com-ready Products at no charge, including but not limited to the API’s illustrated in Exhibit A attached to this Schedule 6. As between ADT and Alarm.com, all Intellectual Property Rights in such applications developed by ADT or its third parties shall be ADT IP owned by ADT. For clarity, such ADT IP does not include the existing or any custom API’s or other modifications made to the Alarm.com Services (or to any Alarm.com-ready Products owned by Alarm.com) unless mutually agreed by the parties. As between ADT and Alarm.com, all Intellectual Property Rights in such applications developed by Alarm.com or its third parties shall be Alarm.com IP owned by Alarm.com, except for any ADT Background IP, ADT Invention, or Joint Invention. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend this Section to allow for the development of additional capabilities on top of the Alarm.com platform, and not as a mechanism to replace or reproduce significant components of the Alarm.com platform.
4.2 Modifications to the Alarm.com Services. Alarm.com in its sole discretion from time to time may develop and deploy modifications and enhancements to the Alarm.com Services which will be deployed to all customers of Alarm.com. With respect to any material new feature or functionality, Alarm.com will use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide such new features or functionality on an “opt in / opt out” basis and ADT will have the right to decide whether to enable, and subsequently disable, a new feature or functionality for the Subscribers. Alarm.com will provide ADT with commercially reasonable notice prior to any deployment of such material new feature for ADT to so decide. In the event it is not feasible for Alarm.com to provide such an opt-in / opt-out capability, Alarm.com shall still be permitted to deploy a new feature and functionality in its discretion; provided however, that Alarm.com will not deploy any new feature or functionality without the capability to regress the Software in the event of any Error arising from such deployment, and failure to do so shall constitute a default of Alarm.com's material obligations under this Agreement. Alarm.com will not disable or remove any material feature or functionality affecting the Subscribers without ADT's prior approval.

1.2 Exclusivity. During the Term, Alarm.com shall provide the Connect Platform in the Territory exclusively to ADT and its Affiliates, to any ADT Dealers existing as of the date of this Agreement, and to any party to a contract acquired pursuant to the APA to the extent necessary to meet its obligations under such acquired contract.
1.3 ADT Dealers. ADT shall have the right, in ADT’s sole discretion, to enable any ADT Dealers to offer the Connect Platform or any other Alarm.com Service to Subscribers; provided that for any ADT Dealer who is offering the Alarm.com Services as of the effective date of its contract to become an ADT Dealer (“Dealer Effective Date”), ADT shall pay the applicable monthly Fee under Schedule 2 of this Agreement for each Subscriber for twelve months from the Dealer Effective Date, irrespective of whether or not such Subscriber is using the Connect Platform, after which ADT shall pay the Subscriber Fee set forth in this Schedule 7 for any such Subscriber using the Connect Platform.
2. LICENSE GRANT
2.1 License. Subject to the above and the other terms of this Agreement, Alarm.com grants to ADT a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable (except as provided in Section 11.7 of the Agreement) license for the Term and as needed during the period of Transition Services to (i) use and distribute (subject to the limitation on distribution below) the Connect Platform in executable form solely to provide the functionality of the Connect Platform to Subscribers in the Territory, (ii) provide support to such Subscribers with respect to the Connect Platform, including support, testing, and administrative functions associated with hosting and management of hosted systems for the Connect Platform at ADT' s hosting facility (whether owned or managed by ADT or a subcontractor), (iii) copy and use, screen shots from the Connect Platform for the sole purpose of incorporating such screen shots into written end-user training or marketing materials prepared by ADT (or by a third party for ADT) for Subscribers subject to Alarm.com’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (iv) use, reproduce, prepare derivative works of, and distribute Documentation, subject to the ownership provisions of Section 1.1 of Schedule 6 of this Agreement. For purposes of clarification, (a) the Connect Platform server software may not be distributed to any third party other than to a subcontractor, (b) the iScreen software may only be distributed as embedded into the iScreen and not on a standalone basis other than to provide updates and upgrade existing iScreen hardware or to subcontractors, and (c) the iHub software may only be distributed as embedded into the iHub gateway and not on a standalone basis other than to provide updates and upgrades for existing iHub gateway hubs or to subcontractors (where “iScreen” and “iHub” are as set forth in the iControl MSA).

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
2.2 Sublicenses. ADT shall not have the right to grant any sublicenses in connection with any of the rights licensed to ADT hereunder. Alarm.com agrees that ADT shall have the right to grant sublicenses (i) to ADT Subscribers as necessary to use the Connect Platform in accordance with the Subscription Agreement, and (ii) to ADT Dealers to use the Connect Platform for the specific purpose of marketing, installing, and supporting the Connect Platform, under terms acceptable to Alarm.com, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that any and all sublicense terms that are consistent with the Agreement shall be hereby deemed acceptable to Alarm.com. Such ADT Dealers shall have the right to sublicense the use of the Connect Platform to their customers who will become ADT Subscribers. ADT shall have no liability for breach of the sublicense agreement or any other actions by ADT Dealers or Subscribers, provided that, with respect to ADT Dealers, the sublicense agreement with ADT Dealers includes an enforceable third party beneficiary provision for the benefit of Alarm.com, and provided, further, with respect to ADT Subscribers, ADT will use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of ADT’s agreement with such Subscribers. In any event ADT shall be liable for payment obligations hereunder for such ADT Dealers' Subscribers.
2.3 Limited Use Licenses. If an ADT customer is no longer a Subscriber under this Agreement, without expanding the license rights granted under ADT’s agreement with such customer, Alarm.com agrees that such former customer will have the perpetual right to use any portions of the Connect Platform in their hub and/or touchscreen for limited security purposes only and without any connectivity to the Connect Platform server software. Alarm.com will have no support obligations for discontinued Subscriber.
3. DEVELOPMENT
3.1 New Products. The parties recognize that ADT may wish to extend the Alarm.com Services to a new device or set of devices not yet supported on an Alarm.com software platform, on Alarm.com’s roadmap, or required for Parity, such as, for example, the [***] and peripherals. The parties agree to regularly discuss the ecosystem of commercially available or soon to be commercially available devices, and Alarm.com agrees that it shall support the requested new devices with the Connect Platform unless it is not commercially reasonable, in which case it will be subject to the provisions of the related Section 3.2 below.
3.2 ADT Exclusive Features. Subject to the requirements of Section 3 of Schedule 6 (Product Development & Intellectual Property) and Section 3.3 below, the Parties may mutually agree and set forth in an applicable SOW that certain significant software features and non-routine hardware design initiatives will be exclusively implemented in the Connect Platform for ADT for a specified period of time lasting a minimum of [***] ([***]) months, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (“ADT Exclusive Features”). During such [***] ([***]) month (or longer, as applicable) time period, Alarm.com shall not use the ADT Exclusive Features for any third-party and shall not include them in the Product Roadmap until at least [***] ([***]) days after ADT has Commercially Launched such ADT Exclusive Feature. All ADT Exclusive Features will be delivered as part of an Update or Upgrade. To the extent that an ADT Exclusive Features includes ADT IP and/or Alarm.com IP, nothing in this section shall be construed to grant an ownership interest, nor license rights, in or to such ADT IP and/or Alarm.com IP.
3.3 Changes in Functionality. If Alarm.com deletes functions from the Connect Platform to which ADT is being granted access hereunder and offers those functions in other or new applications or products, the portion of those other or new applications or products which contain the functions in question, or the entire product if the functions cannot be separated out, will be provided to ADT under the terms of this Agreement or an applicable SOW at no additional charge to ADT. If the Connect Platform provided to ADT under an SOW are updated as replacement, renamed or re-branded applications or products for any reason, then ADT shall be entitled to the same license to use the replacement, renamed or re-branded product with respect to the Connect Platform that ADT had immediately prior to such replacement, renaming or re-branding at no additional charge to ADT so long as the new applications or products are functionally equivalent, at a minimum, and the same conditions of use apply as to the Connect Platform.
65
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
3.4 Notice of Upgrades. Alarm.com shall provide ADT with no fewer than [***] ([***]) days prior written notice of the delivery of any upgrade to the Connect Platform (which includes, without limitation, any ADT Exclusive Features and applicable Custom Products) and shall deliver to ADT, at least [***] ([***]) days prior to the release thereof, all of Alarm.com’s release notes and other Documentation regarding the upgrade to the Connect Platform to be incorporated through such upgrade. Additionally, Alarm.com shall provide ADT with early versions of any such upgrade prior to Alarm.com’s targeted release date; provided, however, that in no event will the Acceptance Period begin until Alarm.com has released a final version of the upgrade. The Documentation provided shall be sufficient to enable reasonably qualified ADT Personnel to install, configure, and host the Connect Platform and support the installation and use of the Connect Platform by Subscribers. ADT shall have the right, at no additional charge, to reproduce solely for its internal use and for use by Subscribers and ADT Dealers, all manuals and Documentation furnished by Alarm.com; provided that ADT shall have no right to provide any Documentation that is not intended for users to any Subscribers.
3.5 Acceptance Period. ADT will have [***] ([***]) days from the delivery of an upgrade (the "Acceptance Period") to determine whether the upgrade complies in all material respects with this Agreement, and any applicable SOW and Specifications. ADT will conduct the acceptance tests or, in ADT's reasonable discretion, may require that Alarm.com conduct the acceptance tests on the upgrade as set forth in any applicable SOW. In the event that Alarm.com is responsible for performing such acceptance tests, then the Acceptance Period will be deemed to be [***] ([***]) days following Alarm.com’s successful completion of its acceptance test. ADT shall have the right to be present at and to monitor all testing activity and Alarm.com shall keep ADT fully informed concerning such activity.
3.6 Acceptance. ADT shall, within the Acceptance Period, notify Alarm.com whether ADT has accepted the upgrade or provide Alarm.com with a written list of material non-conformities that must be corrected. Alarm.com shall thereafter as quickly as reasonably possible correct, repair, or modify the upgrade, at no additional charge to ADT, in order to enable retesting. Each time the upgrade requires retesting for material nonconformities, the applicable Acceptance Period will restart. If ADT determines that the upgrade, as revised, still does not comply in all material respects with Agreement and/or any applicable SOW, then ADT may either: (i) request that Alarm.com repeat the aforementioned correction process at no additional charge to ADT, or (ii) terminate the applicable SOW. In the event of termination of an SOW under this provision, Alarm.com shall refund to ADT, within [***] ([***]) days of written notice of termination, all sums paid to Alarm.com by ADT under an applicable SOW in advance of testing for acceptance. If ADT commercially releases an upgrade, it will be deemed to have been accepted. ADT will not unreasonably withhold or delay performance of acceptance tests or acceptance of upgrades. Acceptance of any upgrade having non-conformities (material or otherwise) will not relieve Alarm.com of its obligation to cure such non-conformities in accordance with the Support Services or any other provision of this Agreement.
4. PRICING, BILLING & PAYMENT
4.1 Fees. The Connect Platform shall NOT be subject to the Fees set forth in Schedule 2 (Pricing) of this Agreement, and instead ADT shall pay Alarm.com the following Fees for the Connect Platform:
66
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
Item | Price |
Subscriber Fee: a per month fee for each Subscriber using the Connect Platform, which is all-inclusive as to the use of all Connect Platform components and functionality (except as mutually agreed for the certain significant software features and non-routine hardware design initiatives under Section 3.2 of this Schedule 7), for Alarm.com’s maintenance of the Connect Platform (including its API’s), and for ADT’s use of all APIs to build and use ADT’s own applications for accessing the Connect Platform, such as the ADT Website, admin portal, installer app, and ADT’s “[***]” API server and mobile application. The amount of the Subscriber Fee for the Connect Platform for each of ADT’s service offerings for ADT Pulse® shall be: | |
Tier 1 Subscribers: any Subscriber being provided ADT’s Tier 1 offering (or equivalent) for ADT Pulse using the Connect Platform | $[***] per month |
Tier 2 Subscribers: any Subscriber being provided ADT’s Tier 2 offering (or equivalent) for ADT Pulse using the Connect Platform | $[***] per month |
Tier 3 Subscribers: any Subscriber being provided ADT’s Tier 3 offering (or equivalent) for ADT Pulse using the Connect Platform | $[***] per month |
One-Time iHub Fee: a one-time software license fee per hub for the first activation of iHub software (as set forth in the iControl MSA) contained in a hub for use with a Subscriber on the Connect Platform; i.e.,[***]. For clarity, the fee will also apply to the OneLink device. For any future supported hubs, ADT and Alarm.com will negotiate any one-time fee in good faith. | $[***] (one-time) |
Content Fee: a per month fee for each Subscriber using the Connect Platform that is enrolled in the optional service that enables iScreen Widget Content (as set forth in the iControl MSA) on each dedicated touchscreen. | $[***] per month |
If, after the Effective Date, Alarm.com is obligated to pay a per subscriber per month royalty or license fee to a third party for one or more patent rights covering the use of the Connect Platform, then upon disclosing the complete terms surrounding such patent royalty or license to ADT, Alarm.com may charge ADT up to $[***] per month per Subscriber for the amount that Alarm.com has paid to such third party for such Subscriber under such patent royalty or license fee. For the avoidance of doubt, the $[***] per month, per Subscriber fee is the maximum amount that may be passed through to ADT even if there are multiple licenses and royalties required to be paid by Alarm.com.
4.2 Fees for Renewal Terms. Alarm.com’s Fees under this Schedule 7 shall not change for the Initial Term. In the event of any Renewal Term, Alarm.com may increase the Fees by providing notice to ADT at least [***] ([***]) days prior to commencement of such Renewal Term. Any such increase will not exceed the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers) during the immediately preceding Initial Term or Renewal Term.
4.3 Billing & Payment. Alarm.com shall implement a module in the Connect Platform which provides a daily reconciliation of account activations and deletions and the total number of accounts at end of day by each of the Subscriber Fee “tiers” in Section 4.1 above. Such module shall send a daily report via email to the designated representative of each party. Other recipients may be added as needed, but the parties agree that this information is sensitive and shall be provided to others on a need to know basis only. Unless either party contests the data in the report in writing (email acceptable) within [***] ([***]) calendar days after the end of each month, then the report from the last day of the month will become the report of the number of accounts for which Alarm.com will invoice ADT on the seventh calendar day of the new month. ADT shall pay the invoiced amount within thirty (30) days thereafter; provided that ADT shall have the right to withhold payment of any amount due to Alarm.com under this Schedule 7 that the ADT disputes in good faith, which withholding shall not constitute a material breach of ADT's payment obligations under this Agreement. The making of any payment or payments by, on the behalf of, ADT shall not imply ADT's acceptance of such items or the waiver of any warranties or requirements of, or rights to make any claims under, this Agreement.
67
[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
4.4 Other Terms. Except as provided in this Schedule 7, all other billing, payment, audit, reservation of rights, and dispute resolution provisions shall otherwise remain as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
