1.  Addendum. This TCA governs Customer’s purchase of certain transport connectivity, as further described below (generally referred to as the “Connectivity”), and constitutes an agreement solely entirely between Motorola and Customer. Motorola and Customer shall only be liable to each other for the obligations expressly set forth in this TCA. In no event will MSI be liable for any of Motorola’s obligations or liabilities pursuant to this TCA. In addition to the Agreement, other Addenda may be applicable to other Products or Services, with respect to Software and Equipment, as each of those terms is defined therein, and as further described below, if any. This TCA will control with respect to conflicting terms in the Agreement or any other applicable Addendum, but only as applicable to the Connectivity purchased under this TCA and not with respect to other Products or Services.

2.  Connectivity Service Description and Applicable Terms and Conditions.

2.1.   Connectivity Service Description.  Connectivity means the physical connection (i.e. the physical copper, fiber, wireless transport technology(ies) or other transmission medium used) that is designed for the transmission of information including data between locations, devices, equipment and/or facilities designated for Customer, as set forth in the applicable Statement of Work (“SOW”) between the parties, which may be located on Customer premises, mobile, and/or in remote Motorola or MSI procured data centers or cloud-based locations.   If a generic demarcation point (such as a street address) is provided, the demarcation point will be Motorola's Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE) at such location (as determined by Motorola and/or its vendors).  Additional wiring may be provided by MSI, at its sole discretion, and may entail electrical or optical cabling into 1) existing or new conduit or 2) bare placement in drop down ceilings, raised floors, or mounted to walls/ceilings.  Any additional wiring or necessary transmission media will be provided and/or maintained by MSI as specifically described in the accompanying SOW.  Motorola will maintain Connectivity to the demarcation point only.  Customer disclaims any interest in any equipment, property or licenses used by Motorola to provide Connectivity.  Terms for interest in additional wiring and maintenance of additional wiring will be as delineated in an applicable SOW.

2.2.   Types of Connectivity Technologies.  Motorola uses different technologies to provide Connectivity.  Some technologies or speeds may not be available in all areas or with certain types of Connectivity.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement or applicable SOW, Motorola utilizes different technologies to provide Connectivity at its sole discretion and may include, but not be limited to ethernet, wavelength, special access, and/or wireless technologies (again, including but not limited to LTE or equivalent wireless services or wireless satellite services).  In addition, Connectivity may include additional technologies for security or commonality of protocol, including but not limited to Multiprotocol Label Switching (“MPLS”) and Software Defined Wide Area Network (“SD-WAN”). 

3.  Requests for Connectivity, Third Party Providers and Statements of Work.  Customer will request Connectivity as provided for in the applicable SOW(s).  Motorola will notify Customer of acceptance of a request for Connectivity by delivering (in writing or electronically) a confirmation, or by delivering the Connectivity.   

3.1.   Third Party Providers of Connectivity.  Customer understands and agrees that Connectivity is provided to Motorola by third parties, and then may be combined with certain Motorola and/or MSI equipment, as requested by Customer and agreed in an applicable SOW.  Motorola does not build or provision Connectivity itself; it solely procures underlying services to provide Connectivity from third parties.

3.1.1.  Provision of Connectivity is subject to availability of underlying Connectivity from Motorola’s applicable vendor.  Provisioning intervals for Connectivity are dependent upon the intervals provided to Motorola by the underlying third party provider.  Customer agrees that Motorola may request, but is not responsible for, certain provisioning intervals as requested by Customer in a SOW. 

3.1.2.  Customer further agrees that Motorola does not offer any specific service level agreements, service level objectives, outage credits or other guarantees regarding outages or reliability of services (collectively, “SLAs”) procured and included as part of Connectivity from third party providers.  Any SLAs available to Customer will be separately identified and provided by MSI under the Agreement and any applicable SOW.  No other SLAs will be provided or are available from Motorola, unless specifically delineated herein.

3.1.3.  Certain requirements of Motorola’s third party providers may apply to the provision of Connectivity and are included as Exhibit A to this TCA.

3.2.   Statement of Work.  Motorola and MSI will provide a Statement of Work (“SOW”) to further describe implementation of Connectivity and the use of the provided Connectivity with additional services and/or equipment provided by MSI.  An applicable SOW may contain SLAs with respect to other services provided by MSI outside of Connectivity or in conjunction with Connectivity.  However, Customer and Motorola agree that such SLAs do not apply directly to Connectivity in and of itself provided by Motorola.

4.   Provisioning, Maintenance and Repair.  Motorola may re-provision Connectivity from one third party provider to another and such changes will be treated as scheduled maintenance.  Scheduled maintenance will not normally result in Connectivity interruption.  If scheduled maintenance requires Connectivity interruption Motorola will: (1) provide Customer seven days’ prior written notice, (2) work with Customer to minimize interruptions and (3) use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such maintenance between midnight and 6:00 a.m. local time.  Customer may request a technician dispatch for Connectivity problems, for which Motorola will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain applicable service from third party providers, if applicable.  Motorola may assess a dispatch fee if costs for such services are invoiced to Motorola. 

5.  Termination.  Should any Connectivity be terminated under the provisions of the Agreement, Customer agrees that it will reimburse Motorola for any termination charges levied against Motorola by any third party providers of individual components of Connectivity.  Motorola will invoice such charges through its standard billing processes and such amounts will be paid pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement.

6.  Customer Information.  Customer agrees that Motorola may use, access and disclose Customer’s information including customer data and network information within its own and its affiliates’ business operations, and with third party vendors acting on Motorola’s behalf for provision of the Connectivity. 

7.  Network Monitoring. Transmissions passing through the facilities of Motorola’s vendors may be subject to legal intercept and monitoring activities by its vendors (or vendors’ suppliers) or local authorities in accordance with applicable local law requirements. To the extent consent or notification is required by Customer or end users under applicable data protection or other laws, Customer grants its consent under and represents that it will have at all relevant times the necessary consents from all end users.

8.  Transmission Service Priority. Certain service priority(ies), including restoration, may be available to Customer for an additional fee from Motorola’s third party provider of Connectivity. If Customer elects to implement an available service priority for Connectivity, then Customer is required to expressly set forth its priority election within the applicable SOW, cooperate fully with Motorola and Motorola’s third party provider of Connectivity to effectuate and maintain implementation, and pay any additional fees, costs, or surcharges applicable to the elected priority service.

9.  Billing and Payment.  Motorola will issue invoices to Customer for the provision of Connectivity to Customer, which may include but not limited to charges billed by third party providers and all taxes fees, surcharges or other charges imposed by such third party providers.  Customer will pay invoices from Motorola for the Connectivity covered by this TCA in accordance with the invoice payment terms set forth in the Agreement. Fees for Connectivity will be invoiced as of the provisioning date, as determined by Motorola, unless another payment schedule or milestones are set forth in the Agreement or applicable SOW.  Motorola may, at its sole discretion, utilize MSI as its billing and collection agent and Customer expressly agrees that invoices for Motorola services may appear on invoices issued by MSI.

Taxes and Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees.   Unless otherwise specified, prices for Connectivity do not include any excise, sales, lease, use, property, or other taxes, assessments, duties or governmental impositions including regulatory charges or  contribution requirements when Motorola is required to collect such regulatory charges or contributions from Customer (collectively, “Taxes”), or any fees or charges to offset costs Motorola incurs to comply with regulations or participate in regulatory programs, including but not limited to regulatory fees or charges imposed on Motorola by governmental entities or collected from Motorola by third parties, which are not Taxes or charges that government mandates be recovered from Customer but that Motorola is permitted to recover from Customer either in aggregate or as individual line items ("Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees").  Such Taxes and Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees will be paid by Customer, except as exempt by law, unless otherwise specified in a SOW.  If Motorola is required to pay any Taxes or permitted to recover any Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees, Customer will  be billed by Motorola for such Taxes (including any interest and penalties) or Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees, whether as part of its standard billings or as separately billed and, with respect to the latter, using a "regulatory cost recovery" descriptor or other applicable descriptor, and Customer agrees that it will pay such Taxes and Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees within thirty (30) days after Customer’s receipt of an invoice therefore, unless Customer furnishes Motorola applicable tax-exemption certificates.  Motorola will be solely responsible for reporting Taxes on its income and net worth.
