Re: Microwave interconnect with Metro Networks Revision: 1.2 By: FAX 1 (212)442-8885

Dear John, Based on. our meeting of March 5'^, I am pleased to submit for your approval, the revised proposal in the amount of $26,825.00, for the interconnect with the Metro Networks cameras that terminate at the Empire State Building. As discussed, we will connect with the Metro Networks system using a single microwave path, which will allow you the ability to Switch between the various camera signals available at the Empire State Building from four (4) locations at OEM. As discussed, the RCP’s will be located in the following areas: Conference room. Podium, Police Department desk, and Watch Command. These will be connected with control cables tliat will be run from the LAN room through each area. 1 have included the cost of completing this work. I have included the additional cable at no cost to OEM- As a reminder, these panels have no defeat switch, which means any one can control the cameras without blocking out the other control positions. We spoke to Danny Toy from Metro Networks, who gave us approval to use a port from his switcher and allow us to proceed witn this project. We will continue discussions with the Management from the Empire State Building regarding compensation for your installation. I would suggest that you place a call to them and discuss the specifics directly. The contact is: Alex Smirnoff (212) 736-3100. Based on our last meeting, we will install the receive antenna in your alley way behind the hurricane wall on the North side of the building. Based on the restrictions of the access panels, we will install a 17” antenna in the alley way.

I will need to receive the site coordinates from you, as soon as possible, in order to begin the frequency coordinatioiL '

We will need to move quickly on this project to have you connected by March 29’^. We are working on a way to provide a temporary link, in case we don't have the permanent equipment in house by this deadline. We will likely have just one control panel on line by March 29*. The rest will be installed and connected soon after.
