limited to, policies and operating procedures related to: a) the capture, transfer, and management of digital images;
b) the use of these digital images in legal proceedings; and c) the use of these digital images for other purposes.
Numerous techniques are available that may mitigate some of these unique security and privacy risks, including
ensuring that security reliance is not placed solely on the system, and that the system and resulting images are
used only in compliance with comprehensive department policies and standard operating procedures. The USER
acknowlM700s and understands that the USER is solely responsible for developing, implementing and maintaining
appropriate Security and Privacy Policies and operating procedures for the system(s) described in this SOW, and
ensuring on-going compliance with them.

the materials, system or services provided by COBAN hereunder, including any claims based on the content of any
information captured on any video recorder provided hereunder. The USER will be solely responsible for any and
all such claims made against COBAN which are based on the USER’s use of the materials, system or services
provided by COBAN hereunder,

The USER acknowlM700s and agrees that COBANs performance hereunder does not include any obligation to
provide testimony or other evidence of any kind in any legal, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding
excluding subpoenas issued by judge or court of law. In the event that COBAN is requested by the “Department or

performance hereunder, whether required by the USER or any other third party, the USER agrees to pay COBAN’s
time and materials rates plus COBAN’s actual expenses incurred in the provision of such testimony or evidence.
