RECITALS

A.            Pursuant to a Sale, Assignment and Servicing Agreement dated June 30, 2005 (as amended, the “Servicing Agreement”), Alarm Funding purchased certain security alarm contracts (the “Alarm Contracts”) and Security Associates International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SAI”), agreed to provide the necessary and appropriate servicing of the Alarm Contracts.

C.            In February 2008, following the occurrence of events of default under the Credit Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acquired voting control of shares of SAI’s capital stock totaling approximately 66% of SAI’s issued and outstanding capital stock.  Thereafter, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ formed SAS and contributed to SAS junior secured notes evidencing the junior secured loans under the Credit Agreement in exchange for all of the equity of SAS.

D.            On July 7, 2008, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ conducted a foreclosure sale under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted as the law in the State of New York then in effect (the “Foreclosure Sale”), of substantially all of SAI’s assets, other than certain licenses used in connection with its business, its employees, its leased real and personal property to the extent transfer required third-party consent, and other assets the transfer of which are prohibited by law or without third-party consent.  SAS purchased the SAI assets in the Foreclosure Sale by credit bidding amounts owed under the junior secured notes.  SAS also acquired the shares of capital stock for which it had voting control.

G.            On August 25, 2008, Alarm Funding filed a complaint and sought a temporary restraining order against SAI, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and others in the Circuit Court of ▇▇▇▇ County, Illinois, seeking, among other things, to enforce Alarm Funding’s rights under the Servicing Agreement (the “Litigation”).

H.            Alarm Funding, SAI, SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ entered into a settlement agreement dated September 10, 2008 (the “Settlement Agreement”) in connection with the Litigation.

I.              Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, the parties thereto agreed (A) to prepare (x) an asset purchase agreement consistent with the terms of the Settlement Agreement pursuant to which Purchaser shall acquire substantially all of the assets of SAS relating to the retail monitoring and related services provided with respect to the Alarm Contracts and certain other alarm servicing contracts and accounts (the “Business”), and (y) a service agreement consistent with the terms of the Settlement Agreement pursuant to which Alarm Funding shall engage Purchaser to provide alarm monitoring services with respect to the Alarm Contracts and (B) to take certain actions, including the execution of certain agreements by Purchaser, to facilitate compliance by SAS with the COPS Asset Purchase Agreement and the COPS Transition Agreement.

(vi)          Except for the indirect interests in the Purchaser Common Stock of the participants in the loans made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to SAI pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Purchaser Common Stock are being purchased solely for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ own account, as principal, for investment and not for the interest of any other entity and not with a view to, or in connection with, any resale or distribution of such Purchaser Common Stock.  ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has no agreement or other arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or pledge any part of the Purchaser Common Stock subscribed for or any agreement or arrangement which would guarantee ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ any profit or against any loss with respect to such Purchaser Common Stock, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement;

(vii)         ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ understands that:

(1)           ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time because the Purchaser Common Stock cannot be resold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available, as established by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Purchaser;

21

(2)           The exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) generally will not be available because of the conditions and limitations of Rule 144.  In the absence of the availability of Rule 144 any disposition by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of any portion of the Purchaser Common Stock may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act, and Purchaser is under no obligation and does not plan to take any action in furtherance of making Rule 144 or any exemption so available;

(3)           All certificates evidencing the Purchaser Common Stock will bear a legend substantially as follows:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH ACT AND BLUE SKY LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREOF.

(4)           No federal or state agency has passed on or made any recommendations or endorsements of the investment in the Purchaser Common Stock.

Article III.

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

3.1.          Public Announcements.  Neither SAS nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall issue or make any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions described herein to employees, customers, distributors, suppliers or other Persons except and unless such release, statement or announcement has been approved by Purchaser.  Purchaser may issue any such releases of information without the consent of the SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that prior to making any such release Purchaser shall reasonably consult with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ regarding the content thereof if practicable.  If either of SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ are so required to issue or make a press release, public statement or other announcement within the scope of this Section 3.1, such party shall inform the Purchaser prior to issuing or making any such press release, public statement or announcement and shall reasonably consult with the Purchaser regarding the content thereof if practicable.

3.2.          Restrictions.  Each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that Purchaser has paid valuable consideration for the Purchased Assets, particularly the customer and supplier lists, distribution records, know-how, goodwill and other proprietary business information and trade secrets of relating to the Business.  The use by SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of these relationships and such confidential information in a business or activity which competes with Purchaser or the Business would provide the competing business with an unfair advantage over the Purchaser.  Accordingly, Purchaser wishes to restrict SAS’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ use of such information and their ability to compete with Purchaser.  Each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees, for the purchase price described in Article I, to comply, and cause its Affiliates (other than SAI Executives as to whom Purchaser acknowledges that SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have no responsibility) to comply, with the terms of this Agreement, all of which are reasonable and necessary to protect the confidential business

22

information and trade secrets and the value of the Business being acquired by Purchaser and to prevent any unfair advantage from being conferred upon a competing business of SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as set forth below.

3.3.          Non-Competition.

For a period of five years from the Closing Date, each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates (other than SAI Executives as to whom Purchaser acknowledges that SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have no responsibility) to, directly or indirectly, either alone or as a stockholder, partner, employee, officer, director, associate, consultant, owner, agent, creditor, coventurer of any other Person, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly, engage in the security alarm monitoring business (“Prohibited Business”) or render material services of a competitive nature to any other Person engaged in the Prohibited Business anywhere in the world.

3.4.          Non-Interference with Business Relations.

For a period of five years from the Closing Date, each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, and shall not permit any of SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Affiliates (other than the SAI Executives as to whom Purchaser acknowledges that SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have no responsibility) to, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce any supplier, licensee or other business relation of Purchaser or its Affiliates to cease doing business with Purchaser or its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any customer or business relation of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

3.5.          Solicitation of Customers and Employees.

For a period of five years from the Closing Date, each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, and shall not permit any of SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Affiliates (other than the SAI Executives as to whom Purchaser acknowledges that SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have no responsibility) to, directly or indirectly, either alone or as a partner, consultant, adviser, owner, associate, agent, creditor, coventurer of any other Person, or in any other capacity, (i) sell to or solicit sales of products or services which compete with the Business from any customer or account which was a customer or account of SAS or SAI as of the Closing Date, within one year prior thereto, or (ii) solicit, hire, attempt to solicit or hire, or participate in any attempt to solicit or hire any employee of SAS or SAI, or any Person who was an employee of SAS or SAI within the six month period prior to the Closing Date or encourage any such employee to leave such employee’s employment; provided, however, that such limitations contained in this Section 3.5 regarding solicitation or hiring shall not apply to any Person who responds to an advertisement which is placed in general circulation and which is not targeted at a Person to whom the preceding otherwise would apply and provided that SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 3.5(a).

3.6.          Confidential Information.  Each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ recognize that Purchaser’s business interests require the fullest practical protection and confidential treatment of all information relating to the Business not generally known within the relevant trade group or by the public, including all documents, writings, memoranda, business plans, illustrations, designs, plans, know-how, technology, financial information, personnel data, processes, formulas, programs, inventions, computer software, reports, sources of supply, customer lists, supplier lists, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development

23

techniques, business acquisition plans, methods of manufacture, trade secrets and all other valuable or unique information and techniques acquired, developed or used by Purchaser relating to its businesses, operations, employees or customers (hereinafter collectively termed “Protected Information”).  Each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ expressly acknowledge and agree that Protected Information constitutes trade secrets and confidential and proprietary business information of Purchaser.  Protected Information shall not include information which (i) is or becomes part of the public domain through no breach of this Agreement by SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (ii) is independently developed or otherwise created without the use of any Protected Information,  (iii) is received on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Purchaser that is entitled to disclose the same or (iv) prior to the date hereof has been disclosed to COPS in connection with the COPS Agreement or the COPS Transition Agreement.  Each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge that Protected Information is essential to the success of the Business, and it is the policy of Purchaser to maintain as secret and confidential Protected Information, which gives Purchaser a competitive advantage over those who do not know the Protected Information and is expressly and implicitly protected by Purchaser from unauthorized disclosure.  Accordingly each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (other than SAI Executives as to whom Purchaser acknowledges that SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have no responsibility) to, keep secret and treat confidentially and not directly or indirectly, appropriate, divulge, disclose or otherwise disseminate to any other Person nor use in any manner benefit any Protected Information, for the benefit of SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any other Person and not to use or aid others in using any such Protected Information except to the extent that disclosure is required by law; provided, however, that SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide Purchaser with notice as far in advance of any required disclosure as is practicable in order for Purchaser to obtain an order (at Purchaser’s sole cost) or other assurance that any information required to be disclosed will be treated as Protected Information and SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in connection therewith and in furtherance thereof.  This obligation of non-disclosure of information shall continue to exist for so long as such information remains Protected Information.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge and agree that the Protected Information consists of trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information and is subject to the protection of any applicable trade secrets act.

3.7.          Scope.  If, at the time of enforcement of this Article III, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area.

3.8.          Remedies.  Each of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree that if SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall commit or threaten to commit a breach of any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Article III, then, in any such case, Purchaser shall have the right to seek all appropriate injunctive and other equitable remedies therefor, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available at law, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach would cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy therefor.  If either of SAS or SAI violates any of the terms of this Article III, the running of the periods of limitation referred to in this Agreement shall be tolled until such violation shall cease and shall begin to run again only when SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is in compliance with the terms hereof, whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order of a court.

3.9.          Purchaser Agreements Concerning the Business.

(a)           Employment.  After the Closing, the Board of Directors of Purchaser shall select the management group to operate the Business, which management group may include one or more of the SAI Executives.  Purchaser shall also provide a substantial number of employees of SAI the opportunity to become employed with Purchaser

24

following the Closing on substantially the same or similar terms and conditions of employment as provided by SAI.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein or in any of the Transaction Documents shall be deemed or construed to be an offer or agreement of employment with any Person, including but not limited to the SAI Executives.

(b)           Management Equity.  After the Closing, the Board of Directors of Purchaser in its sole discretion may make available to Purchaser’s management group up to an aggregate of twelve percent (12%) of the Purchaser Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis as of Closing through purchase or as incentive compensation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein or in any of the Transaction Documents shall be deemed or construed to be an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any Management Stock or a grant or award of an option or other right to purchase any Purchaser Common Shares to any Person.

(c)           Vendors.  At Closing, Alarm Funding will have contributed $500,000 in cash to Purchaser.  In accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser shall make such funds available for the payment of vendors critical to the Business.  Except as provided in the Transition Services Agreement, neither Alarm Funding, on the one hand, nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and SAS on the other hand, is under any obligation to provide funds for use by SAI or SAS for operations, to pay vendors, defend lawsuits or for any other purpose.

3.10.        SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agreements Concerning SAS and SAI.  Neither SAS nor SAI shall dissolve, liquidate, wind-up or abandon SAI or SAS prior to the expiration of the Indemnification Period.

3.11.        Further Assurances.  Each party to this Agreement, at the request of any other party, shall execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments and other documents and do and perform such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

3.12.        Contribution and Assignment of Claims.  Each of Alarm Funding, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and SAS does hereby contribute, transfer, assign and convey to Purchaser all of their respective rights, title and interest in or to any and all claims, causes of actions, rights to seek indemnity, entitlements to damages, and other rights that they or their Affiliates (including in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and SAS, SAI) may have against any Person, including dealers of alarm security contracts, as of the date hereof relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets, any rights under the Servicing Agreement or the Credit Agreement, and all related agreements, instruments and other documents, other than those released pursuant to the Mutual Release.

Article IV.

INDEMNIFICATION

4.1.          Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  The respective representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  The rights of each Person entitled to indemnification under this Article IV to seek indemnification with respect to a breach of any representation or warranty in Article II of this Agreement shall terminate on the date which is two years after the Closing, except (i) insofar as any party or other Person entitled to indemnification under this Article IV shall have asserted a Claim in writing, setting forth in

25

reasonable detail the nature of the Claim (and if then known, the amount thereof), prior to the expiration of such two year period, in which event the representations or warranties shall continue in effect and remain a basis for indemnity solely with respect to each such asserted Claim until such Claim is finally resolved (pursuant to a non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreement of Alarm Funding and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) (such period ending thirty days (30) after the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing hereby being called the “Indemnification Period”), (ii) any Claim for indemnification relating to Sections 2.1(b) [Organization and Qualification], 2.1(c) [Authorization; Enforcement], 2.2(b) [Organization and Qualification], 2.2(c) [Authorization; Enforcement], 2.3(a) [Organization and Qualification] or 2.3(b) [Authorization; Enforcement], it being agreed that the representations and warranties of those Sections shall continue indefinitely beyond the two year anniversary of the Closing Date (regardless of whether the facts giving rise to such claim are also the subject of any expired representation or warranty), (iv) any Claims relating to Sections 2.1(m) [Title to Assets], 2.1(t) [Certain Fees], 2.1(u) [Tax Status],  2.1(x) [Employee Benefits] or 2.1(aa) [Environmental Matters], it being agreed that the representations and warranties of those Sections shall continue until the applicable statute of limitations thereto including any extensions thereof (regardless of whether the facts giving rise to such Claim are also the subject of any expired representation and warranty), and (v) any Claim for indemnification based on allegations of common law fraud to the extent that a court of law with competent jurisdiction over the Claim holds in a final decision (for which the period for appeal has expired) that common law fraud was committed by the pertinent party (“Fraud”) shall continue indefinitely beyond the two year anniversary of the Closing Date (regardless of whether the facts giving rise to such Claim are also the subject of any expired representation and warranty) and (vi) any agreement or covenant to be performed by any party after the Closing (“Post-Closing Covenant”) shall survive the Closing in accordance with its terms.  The rights and remedies of any Person based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy, breach or indemnity is based may also be the subject matter of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach or as to which the Indemnification Period has expired.  Claims based upon a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant may be brought without regard or reference to any investigation made by or on behalf of, or disclosure to any party to whom such representation, warranty or covenant have been made; provided, however, that no Claim based upon a breach of any representation or warranty may be made by (i) any party that knew or should have reasonably known of the inaccuracy of such representation or warranty as of the Closing Date, or (ii) Purchaser against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ based upon any information contained in or reasonably inferred from the Delivered Documents, or relating to any time period prior to February 22, 2008.

4.2.          SAS Indemnification.  SAS shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, stockholders and agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), from and against and in respect of any and all demands, claims, causes of action, administrative orders and notices, losses, costs, fines, Liabilities, penalties, damages (direct or indirect) and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket legal, paralegal, accounting and consultant fees, amounts paid in settlement, judgments and other expenses incurred in the investigation and defense of claims and actions) (hereinafter collectively called “Losses”) to the extent such Losses result from, are in connection with or

26

arise out of:

(a)           any breach of any representation or warranty made by SAS in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document;

(b)           any breach by SAS of any of SAS’s covenants made in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(c)           any Fraud by SAS; and

(d)           subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.8(b), any claims made with respect to any Liabilities of SAS or SAI or otherwise made by any creditors of SAS or SAI, including any third party claims based on violation of the bulk transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or premised on a fraudulent conveyance of the Purchased Assets or otherwise relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The parties expressly agree that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may seek indemnification for Losses under Section 4.2(a),(b) or (c) only to the extent that the net proceeds paid under any insurance policies maintained by SAS are available for payment of Losses and shall not seek indemnification for Losses from any of the escrowed cash proceeds held pursuant to the COPS Asset Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that it is understood that SAS shall have no obligation to pay as Losses the deductible due with respect to any Claim covered by insurance; and provided, further that the parties agree that there shall be no limitation on the right of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to seek indemnification of Losses under Section 4.2(c) based solely on the Fraud of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.  SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ expressly agree that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be subrogated to any and all of the rights and interests of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with any Claim based upon the Fraud of the SAI Executives; provided, however,  that nothing in this Section 4.2 shall be construed to alter or expand the substantive legal duties and obligations owed by SAI Executives to SAS, SAI or any other person.

4.3.          ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnification.  ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against and in respect of any and all Losses to the extent such Losses result from, are in connection with or arise out of:

(a)           any breach of a representation or warranty in Sections 2.1 and 2.4;

(b)           any breach of a representation or warranty in Section 2.2 if, and only if, to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Knowledge such representations and warranties were not in fact true;

(c)           any representation or warranty made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document;

(d)           any breach by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of any of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ covenants made in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(e)           any Fraud by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; and

(f)            the COPS Asset Purchase Agreement unless it relates to any action or inaction otherwise required by Purchaser under the Transition Services Agreement.

27

(a)           any breach of a representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document;

(b)           the breach by Purchaser of any of Purchaser’s covenants made in this Agreement or any Transactional Document; and

(c)           any Fraud by Purchaser.

(b)           the breach by Alarm Funding of any of Alarm Funding’s covenants made in this Agreement or any Transactional Document; and

(c)           any Fraud by Alarm Funding.

4.6.          Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims Against Indemnified Parties.

(a)           In the event that subsequent to the Closing Date any party or parties entitled to indemnification hereunder (“Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification under this Article IV, on account of or in connection with any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnified Party by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof together with a statement of any available information regarding such claim (the “Notice of Third Party Claim”) to the party against whom a claim for indemnification has been asserted (“Indemnifying Party”) as soon as reasonably practicable after learning of such Third Party Claim.  Failure by an Indemnified Party to provide notice on a timely basis of a Third Party Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except that the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any claim against the Indemnified Party for losses caused by such delay.

(b)           With respect to the defense of any Third Party Claim against or involving an Indemnified Party, an Indemnifying Party may at its option within 30 days after receipt of a Notice of Claim appoint as lead counsel of such defense any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant hereto (with a reservation of rights with respect to all limitations set forth in this Agreement).

(c)           Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party(which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnifying Party (and any insurance carrier defending such Third Party Claim on the Indemnified Party’s behalf) will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party controls

28

the defense pursuant to Section 4.6(b) hereof unless the terms of such settlement discharge and release the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations thereunder and do not involve a remedy other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party.

(d)           In the event that the Indemnifying Party does assume the defense pursuant to Section 4.6(b), the Indemnified Party will, at its own expense, cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance, personnel, witnesses and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.

(e)           Notwithstanding Section 4.6(b), the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense; provided that the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel incurred prior to the date upon which the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense.  Notwithstanding Section 4.6(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with legal counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if:

(i)            the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within 30 days after receipt of a Notice of Claim in accordance with Section 4.6(b);

(ii)           the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that there exists a conflict of interest which, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such Third Party Claim;

(iii)          the claim involves injunctive or other equitable relief; or

(iv)          the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim.

In such event, the Indemnifying Party shall, at its own expense, cooperate with and make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance, personnel, witnesses and materials as the Indemnified Party may reasonably request.

(f)            In the event of any Third Party Claim, the defense of which is conducted by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of such Third Party Claim so defended for purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected unless the Indemnified Party has obtained the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(g)           Any judgment entered or settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein shall be binding upon the Indemnifying Party, and shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to prompt indemnification hereunder, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Agreement.

(h)           With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article IV, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall keep

29

the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel.

4.7.          Nature of Other Liabilities.  In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim (and the amount thereof, if then known), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement.

4.8.          Determination of Loss Amount.

(a)           The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnified Party from any third party with respect thereto after deducting any collection expenses relating to any such payment and the reasonably estimated amount of any increase in insurance premiums and Losses directly  relating to any impact on available insurance coverage as a direct result of making any such claim for insurance proceeds (collectively, “Insurance Recovery Expenses”).  The Indemnified Party shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder.  In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery less any applicable Insurance Recovery Expenses shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnified Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnifying Party and their Affiliates in respect of any Losses indemnified by the Indemnified Party.

(b)           In connection with any claim made by Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.2(d), a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be indemnified first, from any available assets of SAI, including any insurance proceeds payable in connection with such claim, and second, from any available assets of SAS, including any insurance proceeds payable in connection with such claim.  Except to the extent permitted under the applicable insurance policies of SAI and SAS, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be advanced funds for the defense of such claims.  Purchaser agrees that in any event its claim for payment of Losses pursuant to Section 4.2(d) shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the available assets of SAI and SAS, including any insurance proceeds, and in no event shall be a monetary obligation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

4.9.          Limitations on Amount of Damages; Manner of Payment.  Any amounts owing pursuant to this Article IV from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for Losses under Section 4.3(b) shall be paid by canceling that number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock equal to 3200 multiplied by the fraction obtained by dividing the amount of Losses by Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).  The cancellation of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock shall be used solely for purposes of payment of indemnification pursuant to this Article IV by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for Losses under Section 4.3(b) and for no other purposes.  The cancellation of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Losses under Section 4.3(b) and Purchaser waives any other rights that it may have in law or inequity for such Losses.

4.10.        No ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Claim Against SAS.  Cordell shall not assert any claim against SAS with respect to any breach by SAS of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement.

4.11.        Sole Remedy.  Except for (i) the rights of Purchaser to specific performance and injunctive or other

30

equitable relief in connection with the obligations of SAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ under Article III hereof, and (ii) claims between the parties based upon Fraud, from and after the Closing, the provisions of this Article IV shall represent the sole and exclusive remedy available to any Indemnified Party for any Losses for any breach of any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant or agreement required to be performed, and each party hereby unconditionally waives any other rights that it may have in law or in equity for such breach.

4.12.        No Claim Against SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Based on Transfer of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock or COPS Cash.  Neither Alarm Funding nor Purchaser shall assert any claim against SAS or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ based on the distribution of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock or any of the cash proceeds received by SAS under the COPS Asset Purchase Agreement by SAS to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the participants in the loans made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to SAI.

5.3.          Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to sections, Exhibits or Disclosure Schedules, such reference shall be to a section of, or Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require any party or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates to take any action that would violate applicable law, rule, or regulation.

5.4.          Rules of Construction.  The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding, or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

5.5.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.  Facsimile and PDF signatures shall be deemed legally sufficient for all purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

5.6.          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, and any documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitutes the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

5.7.          Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws.  Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois and of the United States of America located in ▇▇▇▇ County, Illinois (the “Illinois Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Illinois Courts, and agrees not to plead or claim in any Delaware Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees, (a) to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Illinois, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Illinois as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process, and (b) that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service.  Service made pursuant to (a) or (b) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally with the State of Illinois.

5.8.          Severability.  In the event that any one or more provisions of this Agreement

32

shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement and the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal, and enforceable provision which, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents of this Agreement.

5.9.          Assignment; Reliance of Other Parties.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

5.10.        Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions contained in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, without the posting of any bond, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in the Illinois Courts, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

5.11.        Disclosure Schedules.  Any information disclosed in any Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated in any other Disclosure Schedule where such disclosure would be appropriate and reasonably apparent on the face of such Disclosure Schedule.
