Fees and Expenses.

6.2
Invoices and Payment.  All Fees will be invoiced. Monthly Subscriber Fees are invoiced in arrears. Fees for additional services, charges and any incidental expenses will be invoiced in arrears unless advance payment is required by CalAmp. All amounts due will be paid concurrent with the invoice if an Electronic Funds Transfer authorization has been provided by Subscriber, and otherwise are payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date except payment of certain charges that CalAmp may require to be paid in advance. Subscriber agrees that time is of the essence. CalAmp reserves the right to charge a late payment calculated daily as a percentage of the unpaid invoice balance from the date due, at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold CalAmp harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs or expenses, including costs of collection, attorneys’ fees, court costs and expenses incurred by CalAmp by reason of or arising out of or relating to any failure by Subscriber to make any payments under this Agreement as and when due.

Taxes associated with the Communication Network are included in the initial Sales Order but increases in Taxes from the wireless telecommunications service provider during the Term may be passed on and charged to Subscriber.

7.
TERM AND TERMINATION.
 
7.1
Term. The Term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue in effect for the minimum number of months specified on the Contract Cover Page as the Initial Term (the “Initial Term”) which is the minimum Term of this Agreement. The Term for each subsequent Order will be equal to the minimum number of months specified on the Contract Cover Page as the Initial Term unless the Order specifies a longer period. The Term of this Agreement and the Term of all Orders not previously terminated will be automatically extended to coincide with the latest expiration date for Application Services purchased under any subsequent Order, and otherwise such Term will be automatically renewed upon its scheduled expiration, on a month-to-month basis. The Term will include all such automatic extensions or renewals of the Term, the latest expiration of which together with the Initial Term will constitute the “Term.”  Each subsequent Order (once accepted by CalAmp) and automatic renewals are binding and Subscriber’s obligations for the Term and all renewal periods are irrevocable, non-cancellable and unconditional, and are independent of any other agreement entered into between Subscriber and any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may give written notice of intent not to renew this Agreement (or any specific Order) at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the then Initial Term.

7.2
Termination for Cause.  (i) CalAmp may terminate this Agreement or any Order upon written notice if Subscriber breaches any of its payment obligations under this Agreement or applicable Order, and fails to cure such breach within five (5) days of written notice thereof.   (ii) Either Party may terminate this Agreement or any Order hereunder upon written notice if the other Party: (a) materially breaches this Agreement or the applicable Order and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such breach; (b) becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or becomes subject to a petition in bankruptcy filed against it that is not dismissed within thirty days of its filing; (c) is placed under the control of a receiver, liquidator or committee of creditors; or (d) dissolves, ceases to function as a going concern, makes or attempts a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or otherwise fails to conduct its business in the normal course.

7.3
Termination Other Than For Cause. Subscriber may for its convenience terminate this Agreement or any Order, or deactivate any Devices unit(s) hereunder, prior to the end of the Initial Term by providing not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to CalAmp and by complying with Section 7.4 below. In the event that CalAmp is prevented from performing all or any part of this Agreement by any (i) law, regulation, requirement or ruling from any judicial, governmental or other authority, including, without limitation, the FCC (and nothing herein shall require CalAmp to pursue any legal or other recourse), or (ii) inability to procure from third party vendors through commercially reasonable means any rights, technology or Devices components, then CalAmp may in its sole discretion immediately cease performance without liability, and may immediately terminate this Agreement or any Order.

7.4
Termination Fee.  In order to exercise its right to terminate under Section 7.3, Subscriber shall pay an early termination fee (“Termination Fee”) to CalAmp in lieu of actual damages. The Termination Fee shall be determined by multiplying the number of Devices deactivated or terminated times the sum of (i) Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per each such line of service for which the minimum activation term has not been completed as of the Termination Date. The Termination Fee shall be in addition to all sums due or which become due under this Agreement or the applicable Order up to the Termination Date. The Termination Fee is due and payable to CalAmp within ten (10) days of the Termination Date.  Subscriber and CalAmp acknowledge and agree that this formula represents a fair and reasonable means to permit Subscriber to terminate this Agreement or a particular Order or deactivate specific Devices earlier than the scheduled expiration of the Term, and to compensate CalAmp for its losses associated with such early termination. CalAmp will waive Termination Fees for up to five percent (5%) of the Devices activated by Subscriber in the trailing twelve (12) months.

8.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMER.
 
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,  THE APPLICATION SERVICES AND LICENSED TECHNOLOGY AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS, SOFTWARE, CONTENT, DATA AND/OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY CALAMP ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND SUBSCRIBER ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERFORMANCE, USE AND RESULTS THEREOF.

IN NO EVENT SHALL CALAMP’S LIABILITY TO SUBSCRIBER EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY SUBSCRIBER FOR THE APPLICATION SERVICES IN QUESTION. CALAMP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO SUBSCRIBER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, GENERAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO SUBSCRIBER’S OR AUTHORIZED END USER’S VEHICLES OR ASSETS OR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES OR DATA, EVEN IF CALAMP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CERTAIN OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY IN SOME STATES. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH LIMITATIONS ARE PRECLUDED IN A GIVEN STATE, SUCH PRECLUSION SHALL NOT AFFECT ANY OTHER LIMITATIONS NOT SO PROHIBITED OR PRECLUDED.

11.2
Assignment. Subscriber may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of CalAmp, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided consent is not required in conjunction with the merger, transfer or sale of a majority of Subscriber’s outstanding voting capital stock or substantially all of its assets, or other transaction effecting a change of control, CalAmp may freely assign this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties’ successors and permitted assigns.
