Negotiated Points

DOC-14-054

GPS Offender Tracking/Monitoring Services

1.

SecureAlert agrees to absorb the $3.00 enrollment cost to create the voice template for any offender presently enrolled in voice biometrics transitioning from the DOC's current AnyTrax system to Track Group's Shadow Track system.

2.

Contractor shall ensure that the prices, discounts, incentives, and other financial terms (collectively, the “financial deal”) applicable to purchases under this contract is always at least as favorable to the purchaser as the financial deal that the contractor or its affiliates make available to any public body for the same good(s)/service(s) outside this contract.  Throughout the term of this contract, if contractor (or any affiliate) makes a better financial deal available to a public body for any good(s)/service(s) available under this contract, contractor shall immediately notify the Department of the details and, at the Department’s option, sign an amendment to this contract, so that an equivalent financial deal for the affected good(s)/service(s) is also available as an option under this contract.  Contractor may request exemption if the better financial deal was for a spot purchase, and the Department shall grant such request if the Department in good faith finds that the spot purchase involved special circumstances affecting cost that would make it unfair to apply an equivalent financial deal outside of that spot purchase.  Upon the Department’s request (and annually), Contractor shall submit to the Department an affidavit certifying full compliance with this Section.  The contractor (and any affiliate) shall waive any contractual or other right that inhibits any public body from disclosing to the Department or others the financial terms made available to the public body and upon request from the Department, contractor shall ensure that a signed confirmation of the waiver is provided to the public body and the Department.  As used in this Section, an affiliate is any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the contractor.

Attachment A

Consent to Assignment

(With Continuing Responsibility of Contractor)

Reference is made to Contract # DOC-14-054 (the "Contract") between the Commonwealth of Virginia, through its Department of Corrections ("Commonwealth") and SecureAlert, a Utah corporation located at 150 West Civic Center Drive, Suite 100, Sandy, Utah 84070-4263 (the "Contractor").

The parties to this Consent to Assignment are the Commonwealth, the Contractor, and Track Group, an Illinois corporation located at 1215 Lakeview Court, Romeoville, IL 60446 (the "Assignee").

1.

Contractor’s Assignment of Rights. Contractor represents that it has assigned some or all of its rights under the Contract to Assignee.  Regardless of any details or limitations that the Contractor and Assignee may have agreed to as between themselves, the Contractor irrevocably warrants to the Commonwealth that the Commonwealth may treat the Assignee as holding all of Contractor’s rights under the Contract.  This includes, without limitation, any outstanding right to payment for work or deliverables previously rendered under the Contract.

2.

Assignee’s Assumption of Duties.  Assignee hereby promises the Commonwealth that the Assignee will fully perform all obligations which the Contract imposed or imposes on the Contractor, and that there are no conditions or limitations on this commitment.  This includes, without limitation, Assignee’s duty to complete of any work in progress and to provide any correction or repair of previously delivered goods or services, to the same extent as the Contractor would have this duty in the absence of the assignment.

3.

Consent to Assignment.  The Commonwealth hereby agrees that it will, after the date of this Consent To Assignment, tender to Assignee any payments or other performance that the Commonwealth promised to tender to the Contractor in the Contract.  Assignee agrees that its rights against the Commonwealth are and shall be no greater than such rights would have been in the hands of the Contractor.

4.

Past or In-Process Payments.  Notwithstanding Paragraph 3 above, if the Commonwealth has already remitted to Contractor any payment or performance that should have been tendered to Assignee (or if the Commonwealth has already commenced internal payment processes as of the date of this Consent To Assignment and this results in payment being made to Contractor), Contractor agrees that such payment or tender is and shall be received and held in trust for Assignee and promptly remitted in its entirety to Assignee, and Assignee agrees that it shall look solely to the Contractor to receive same.

5.

Contractor’s Continuing Obligation.  While the parties expect all remaining performance to be rendered by Assignee, Contractor remains ultimately responsible to the Commonwealth for full performance of the Contract.  If the Contractor and Assignee agree or have already agreed to a different allocation of Contract responsibilities as between themselves, this Consent to Assignment does not alter their agreement as between themselves, but any such agreement between Contractor and Assignee shall have no effect on the rights of the Commonwealth as specified in this Consent To Assignment.

6.

Applicable law and Venue. This Consent To Assignment shall be governed by the laws of Virginia.  All parties agree and warrant to each other that any litigation with respect to this assignment or the Contract shall be brought only in the appropriate State courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

7.

Complete Agreement.  This is the complete and final expression of the parties’ agreement with respect to assignment of the Contract, and it can be modified only in a writing signed by all three parties.

8.

Modifications to Contract.  This Consent To Assignment affects only the identity of the entities that have rights or duties under the Contract.  This Consent To Assignment does not make any other change to any right or duty under the Contract.  Any future modifications to the Contract may be made by written agreement between the Commonwealth and the Assignee, without requiring the signature of the Contractor, it being understood that all provisions of this Consent To Assignment shall continue to apply to the Contact, as so modified.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Consent To Assignment to be signed by their duly authorized officers, intending to be bound thereby.
