SUBSCRIBER SERVICE AGREEMENT

By using this unit you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms
and conditions:

1. Services and Equipment:
Ambient Devices, Inc. (Ambient) will sell to the customer the messaging
services on the Ambient Information Network. Services and the related
equipment offered by Ambient are from time to time, subject to availability
of equipment and approval of customer’s credit by Ambient. Ambient will
provide services only where it is legally authorized and has the facilities to
do so.

2. Bills, Payments and Prices:
Activation fees and initial service fees, if any, must be paid at the time of
activation by credit card or other means acceptable to Ambient. Ambient
will thereafter charge the customer in advance for services (except for fees
based on overcalls or the amount of usage, which will be charged in arrears),
plus taxes and assessments. The customer’s payment is due in full, without
discount or offset, (a) for billed accounts, 30 days after the invoice date, and
(b) for all other accounts, on the date charged.

4. Term:
For other accounts, the services will be provided for each period for which
the customer is billed or charged until terminated in writing by either party
no less than 30 days prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ambient
may suspend the customer’s service without prior notice in accordance with
sections 8 or 10 of this agreement. After activation, neither Ambient nor any
retailer will issue the customer credit for used or unused services for which
payment has been received.

5. No Proprietary Rights:
The customer has no proprietary rights to any unique identifier number,
capcode, transmission method, or micropacket offset assigned to said
customer. Ambient may alter any such value as necessary to comply with
laws, regulations or in the course of business.

6. Repairs:
Ambient will repair or replace, at no cost to customer, any equipment that
malfunctions during normal use (for reasons other than abuse or damage,
including water damage) in the first 30 days after the date of purchase. The
customer must notify Ambient of the malfunction within such period and
deliver the equipment to Ambient in accordance with its instructions.

76

The customer will be charged for services, whether or not suspended, for all
billing periods during which a telephone number or personal identification
number is assigned to customer. The customer’s payment for equipment
purchased directly from Ambient is due in full when shipped or delivered,
whichever occurs first. Ambient may charge customer interest on any
balance not paid within 30 days after the due date at the lesser of (i) 1.5%
per month or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law, from the due date
until paid. The customer waives any right to dispute any charge unless the
customer notifies Ambient of the dispute within 30 days after receipt of
notice of the charge. If a check is returned to Ambient marked unpaid, the
customer will pay Ambient’s then applicable returned check fee, which will
be at least $20. The customer authorizes Ambient to charge delinquent
payments to the customer’s credit card account. The customer will pay
Ambient’s standard list prices in effect from time to time.

3. Changes in Services or Equipment:
Ambient may add, delete or modify equipment or services at any time,
including changes that may affect the coverage area of the services.
Ambient will make information thereof available to the customer, including
prices for added equipment or services.

9

9. Default by Ambient:
Ambient will be in default (Ambient Default) if Ambient (i) fails to perform
any obligation in this Agreement which continues for 30 days following
Ambient’s receipt of written notice of default; or (ii) terminates its existence,
discontinues business, has a receiver appointed for any part of its property,
makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or has any proceedings
under any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar laws commenced by or
against it. Upon the occurrence of any Ambient Default, the customer may,
immediately and without notice, terminate this Agreement in whole or as to
a specified part of the equipment and services. The remedy provided in this
section is the customer’s sole remedy for Ambient’s failure to perform
any obligation.

8

7. Risk of Loss:
The customer bears all risk for lost, damaged or stolen equipment. If offered
by Ambient, the customer may enroll the equipment in Ambient’s Pager
Loss Protection Program, upon Ambient’s standard terms and conditions for
the program.

8. Default by Customer:
The customer will be in default (Customer Default) if the customer (i) fails to
make any payment by the due date; (ii) fails to perform any other obligation
in this Agreement which continues for 30 days following the customer’s
receipt of written notice of default; or (iii) terminates its existence,
discontinues business, has a receiver appointed for any of its property,
makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or has any proceedings
under any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar laws commenced by or
against it. Upon the occurrence of any Customer Default, Ambient may,
immediately and without notice, exercise one or more of the following
remedies, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity:
(a) terminate this Agreement in whole or as to a specified part of the
equipment and services; and (b) suspend any or all services.

10

10. Exclusive Use:

The customer agrees that the equipment and services will not be used
in any way which (i) is unlawful, fraudulent, excessive or abusive, or (ii)
interferes with Ambient’s ability to provide service to its customers, or (iii)
damages Ambient’s property. The customer will not use profane, abusive
or harassing language when using, inquiring about or ordering equipment
and services. If this section is violated, then Ambient may immediately and
without notice suspend all or any part of the services and/or, upon 30 days
notice to customer, terminate this Agreement.

11. Denial of Service:

If Ambient determines that the customer is excessively using the services,
or is in any way causing an unreasonable burden on the Ambient
Information Network, Ambient shall have the right to assess usage or other
charges or otherwise modify the customer’s pricing.

provisions of this Agreement. AMBIENT AND ITS NETWORK AFFILIATES
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF (i) LATENT OR

OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE EQUIPMENT OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF AMBIENT AND
ITS NETWORK AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. IF ANY LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN IS
UNENFORCEABLE OR INAPPLICABLE FOR ANY REASON, AMBIENT AND ITS
NETWORK AFFILIATES MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE CUSTOMER
UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE) FOR
DAMAGES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT,

13

THE EQUIPMENT OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF THE

PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SPECIFIC UNIT OF EQUIPMENT OR SERVICE
AND SERVICE PERIOD OUT OF WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE.

14. Indemnification:
The Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Ambient and its affiliates
and their agents, employees, officers, directors, successors and assigns from

LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY CLAIM THAT (i) SUCH PARTY

14

by the customer and will be barred, unless asserted in writing within one
year following the date on which the claim arose.

15

18. Force Majeure:
Ambient will be excused from performance under this Agreement to
the extent that performance is prevented by any act of God, war, civil
disturbance, court order, acts or regulations of governmental bodies, labor
disputes or strikes, failure or loss of supply or market, failure of a third
party’s performance, failure, fluctuation or non-availability of electrical
power, heat, light, other equipment failure or similar event beyond its
reasonable control.
