individuals under certain circumstances&#160;
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or
proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being
or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company.&#160; The DGCL provides that Section&nbsp;145 is
not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. Article&nbsp;IX of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws
generally provides for indemnification by the Company of any of its directors,
officers or employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against all
expenses, liability and loss incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding in which any such person may be involved by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director, officer or employee.&#160; The Company is required to indemnify an
indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
indemnitee only if the initiation of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the
indemnitee was authorized by the Company&#146;s board of directors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.15pt;">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7)&nbsp;of
the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation
that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv)&nbsp;for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.&#160; The Company&#146;s Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of
liability. Article&nbsp;VII of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation provides that the Company&#146;s directors, to the extent permitted
by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7)&nbsp;of the DGCL, will not be liable to the Company
or its stockholders.</font></p>

executive officers of IASG (as well as other officers and employees of IASG)
immediately prior to the merger with respect to all acts or omissions by them
in their capacities as such or taken at the request of IASG at any time at or
prior to the effective time of the merger.&#160;
The Company also agreed, for a period of not less than six years after
completion of the merger, that all rights to indemnification, advancement of
litigation expenses, and limitation of personal liability existing in favor of
the directors and executive officers of IASG (as well as other officers and

certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents
existing on the date of the Merger Agreement, as well as related director
indemnification agreements in accordance with their terms in existence on the
date of the Merger Agreement, will, with respect to any matter existing or
occurring at or prior to the completion of the merger, survive the completion
of the merger and that the Company will honor all such obligations.</font></p>

arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals under certain circumstances 
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or
proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being
or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company.  The DGCL provides that Section 145 is
not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. Article IX of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws
generally provides for indemnification by the Company of any of its directors,
officers or employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against all
expenses, liability and loss incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding in which any such person may be involved by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director, officer or employee.  The Company is required to indemnify an
indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
indemnitee only if the initiation of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the
indemnitee was authorized by the Company's board of directors.
Section 102(b)(7) of
the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation
that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.  The Company's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of
liability. Article VII of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation provides that the Company's directors, to the extent permitted
by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, will not be liable to the Company
or its stockholders.
Pursuant
to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated December 20,
2007, the Company entered into with Integrated Alarm Services Group, Inc.
("IASG"), the Company agreed, for a period of six years after completion of the
merger, that it will indemnify and hold harmless, to the greatest extent
permitted by law as of the date of the Merger Agreement, the directors and
executive officers of IASG (as well as other officers and employees of IASG)
immediately prior to the merger with respect to all acts or omissions by them
in their capacities as such or taken at the request of IASG at any time at or
prior to the effective time of the merger. 
The Company also agreed, for a period of not less than six years after
completion of the merger, that all rights to indemnification, advancement of
litigation expenses, and limitation of personal liability existing in favor of
the directors and executive officers of IASG (as well as other officers and
employees of IASG) immediately prior to the merger under the provisions in IASG's
certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents
existing on the date of the Merger Agreement, as well as related director
indemnification agreements in accordance with their terms in existence on the
date of the Merger Agreement, will, with respect to any matter existing or
occurring at or prior to the completion of the merger, survive the completion
of the merger and that the Company will honor all such obligations.
3
The
Company maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is
provided (i) to its directors and officers against loss arising from
claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful acts and (ii) to
the Company with respect to payments which may be made by the Company to such
directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or
otherwise as a matter of law. 
Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed that
for a period of six years after completion of the merger, the Company will
maintain the directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained
by IASG immediately prior to the merger, or a policy of at least the same
coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are, in the
aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured, with respect to claims arising
from facts or events that occurred on or before the merger.

the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement.
(iii)  To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however
, that
paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this section do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(b)  That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)  To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(d) That, for the purpose of determining liability
of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchase in the
initial distribution of securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that
in  a primary offering of securities of
the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless
of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i)  Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of
the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)  Any free writing prospectus relating to the
offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or
referred to by the undersigned registrant;
6
(iii)  The portion of any other free writing
prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the
undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant; and
(iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in
the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
2.  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
3.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
