2. Fee: per month, per unit. The ‘Xtreme Solutions’ program is provided for a monthly fee. The program is not a purchase or a lease. There is no capital expenditure. All hardware and software remains the exclusive property of Arrakis Systems inc. The monthly fee is for the use of hardware, software, and support services for a single PC.
3. Multiple PCs: Multiple On Air PCs are supported through the purchase of an Extreme Solutions program for each On Air PC. As an example, two On Air PCs requires two programs.

5. Customer requirements: The customer provides the PCs and network components required to complete an automation system. The PCs must meet Arrakis specifications.
6. Product Functionality: The ‘Bridge’ combines a 16 x 3 stereo routing switcher, control logic, and two sound cards in a single compact cabinet. The PC connects to the Bridge by a USB and a RS232 serial cable. The PC runs the Digilink-Xtreme software application which controls the Bridge. Audio stored as data files on the PC may be played through the sound cards in the Bridge, and audio from the routing switcher in the Bridge can be recorded as data files on the PC. The audio and logic connectors on the Bridge interface the PC to the radio station. The software and hardware supports live on air play, live assist play, satellite automation, hard disk automation, manual recording, timed recording, library management, and scheduling.
7. Payment Plan: prepaid monthly fee for products and services.
8. Payment Period: monthly, customer may prepay for 6, or 12 months.
9. Payment method: cash, company check, or approved credit card. Payment by credit card requires signature by a corporate officer. Product will ship after payment is confirmed for a credit card or clears the bank for a check.
10. Nonpayment: The ‘Bridge’ hardware requires an unlock code each pay period to continue operating. If valid payment is not received by the payment date, then Arrakis will not send the unlock code for the next period and the system will stop operating.
11. Program start date: the program starts on the date that the product is shipped from Arrakis Systems inc.
12. Fee Increases: evaluated yearly.
13. Term: until terminated by either party.
14. Customer Termination: To terminate the program, the customer must contact the factory in writing with a signature by a corporate officer. Arrakis will then send a shipping box and shipper call tag by ground service to the customer. Shipment of the box to the customer’s site and then return of the equipment to the Arrakis factory will be at Arrakis’ expense. The program will be terminated and the monthly fee will no longer accrue upon receipt of all hardware and software in good condition at Arrakis’ Fort Collins, CO. facility.
15. Malicious Damage: any damage to returned hardware, that is determined in Arrakis’ sole opinion to have been deliberate, will be billed to the customer.
16. Manufacturer Termination: Arrakis Systems may terminate the program with a customer upon receipt of written notice to the address that the product was shipped to. This option will be exercised if, in Arrakis’ sole opinion, the Xtreme Solutions program is not appropriate for the customer. If the customer is not on air with the product, termination is immediate upon receipt of written notice. If the product is on air, 90 days written notice will be provided to the customer. The 90 days notice provides the customer adequate time to acquire an alternative automation system. Termination of the program by the manufacturer does not release the customer from his monthly payment responsibilities.

The customer may terminate the program at any time by returning the hardware and software provided in the program as described under the paragraph titled “Customer Termination.” In basic, the program is terminated upon receipt of the hardware and software at Arrakis’ facility.
