<br />will attempt to notify the responding authority. In the event Company receives a
<br />supervisory signal or trouble signal, Company shall endeavor to promptly notify

<br />settings; Implementation of "partlal clear time bypass" procedures at our alarm
<br />monitoring center and other similar measures at our sole discretion from time
<br />to time THESE MEASURES CAN RESULT IN NO ALARM SIGNAL BEING
<br />SENT FROM AN ALARM ZONE IN CUSTOMER'S PREMISES AFTER THE
<br />INITIAL ALARM ACTIVATION UNTIL THE ALARM SYSTEM IS MANUALLY
<br />RESET. Upon receiving notification from Company that a fire or gas detection
<br />(e.g. carbon monoxide) signal has been received, the responding authority
<br />may forcibly enter the premises. Cellular radio unit test supervision, it provided
<br />under this Agreement, provides only the status of the cellular radio unit's

<br />programmed intervals and does not serve to detect the potential loss of radio

<br />amounts payable to Company hereunder are based upon the value of the
<br />Monitoring Services and the scope of liability sat forth In this Agreement
<br />and are unrelated to the value of the Customer's property and the
<br />property of others located on the premises. Customer agrees to look
<br />exclusively to the Customer's Insurer to recover for Injuries or damage In
<br />the event of any loss or Injury and that Customer releases and waives all
<br />right of recovery against Company arising by way of subrogation.
<br />Company makes no guaranty or Warranty, Including any Implied
<br />warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose that
<br />equipment or services supplied by Company will detect or avert
<br />occurrences or the consequences there from that the equipment or
<br />service was designed to detect or avert. it is Impractical and extremely
<br />difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, which may proximately result
<br />from failure on the part of Company to perform any of Its monitoring
<br />obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly, Customer agrees that,
<br />Company shall be exempt from liability for any loss, damage or Injury
<br />arising directly or Indirectly from occurrences, or the consequences
<br />there from, which the equipment or service was designed to detect or
<br />avert. Should Company be found liable for any loss, damage or Injury
<br />arising from a failure of the equipment or service In any respect,
<br />Company's liability with respect to Monitoring Services shall be the
<br />lesser of the annual tae for Monitoring Services allocable to the site
<br />where the incident occurred or two thousand five hundred ($2,500)
<br />dollars. Such sum shall be complete and exclusive. If Customer desires
<br />Company to assume greater liability, the parties shall amend this
<br />Agreement by attaching a rider setting forth the amount of additional
<br />liability and the additional amount payable by the Customer for the
<br />assumption by Company of such greater liability, provided however that
<br />such rider shall In no way be interpreted to hold Company as an Insurer,
