5.1. General Data Categories. A total of 100 unique items in any existing

Database category with the exception of street names per Database update;

5.2.. Street names. A total of 100 unique street names.

6. DATABASE UPDATE PROCEDURES: The System will require occasional updates to the System Database. These updates will occur as it becomes necessary to add new streets or other standard items to existing incident categories in the CAD System Database.

6.1. Database Updates. "Database updates" for the System are defined as any addition to an existing category of voice files, such as the addition of a new incident type to the Incident Category.

6.2. New Voice Files. Database updates comprise adding new voice files to the existing categories in the System Database. An update will be required to accommodate any addition of an item to an existing dispatch category, e.g. the addition of an incident type. The exceptions to this requirement are as follows:

6.2.1. New Apparatus Numbers. New apparatus numbers, i.e. the addition of new apparatus does not require a Database update if that apparatus type already exists. For example, if the apparatus type “Engine” exists, and a new “Engine 99” is added, the System will already recognize the type “Engine” and will automatically recognize any associated apparatus number up to 99,999.

6.2.2. New Street Numbers. New street address numbers, i.e. the addition of a new range of street address numbers to a street name that already exists in the Database. As with the addition of new apparatus, the Cadvoice™ system will recognize any street address number up to 99,999.

6.3. Other Additions to Existing Categories. For all other additions to existing dispatch categories, procedures for Database updates to the System are as follows.

6.3.1. Customer Needs List. The Customer sends a list of new dispatch items to Locution via electronic mail to a specified location. The category for each item on the list must be specified by the Customer, e.g. an item such as “electrocution victim” must be specified as an Event Type. Additionally, precise pronunciation must be proved by customer for any aliases or abbreviations.

6.3.2. Voice Files. Locution receives the request and processes items into individual voice files. As with the initial Database development process, Locution will verify potentially anomalous pronunciations.

6.3.3. Delivery of Voice Files. Locution sends new voice files to the Customer at a designated email address. In the event that the voice files are too large to be sent electronically, Locution will ship the new voice files overnight.

6.3.4. Customer Download. The Customer will download new voice files onto the PCs housing the Cadvoice software using software provided by Locution for this purpose.

6.3.5. Time for Service. Total turnaround time for the four preceding subparagraphs is estimated to be five to ten business days, i.e. for the predetermined number of allowable items (as documented in the Proposal document for the warranty period and this Agreement thereafter), each request to update the Database will require approximately five to ten business days to process.

7. SOFTWARE UPGRADE REQUESTS AND PROCEDURES: The Customer may occasionally request a change to the System dispatch announcement format that requires software modification not covered under the terms of this Agreement. Locution will provide a specific estimate at the time of any request requiring System Software modifications. These types of modifications include special requests for changes in dispatch format, e.g. recognition of a new dispatch category, deletion of an existing dispatch category, etc. Locution will provide the Customer with Software upgrades via electronic mail. The customer will download the upgrade to the PC housing the CADVoice™ software using Software provided by Locution.
