Contract # 3 - Warranty and Management Contract: extend Simply
.Bits services: for the WAN Management portion under the guidelines of the
"Panzica" contract as written.
Extend the Warranty portion of Simply Bits services under the guidelines of the
"Panzica" contract as written with the following modification:
Simply Bits will not provide a warranty on the Altium equipment.
Should a failure in the Altium equipment occur during the extension
period, Simply Bits will replace the Altium equipment with new, like
equipment performing to the same or higher specifications.
At the end : of the extension period and in the event of an Altium
failure, the Town of Marana shall have two options:
1. Purchase the replacement equipment
2. Not Purchase the replacement equipment
Should the Town of Marana elect to purchase the replacement
equipment, they will receive a warranty repair credit of $4,500 to be
applied (deducted) to the purchase price of the replacement
equipment.
By ~ way of example, suppose that the link .between Marana
Municipal Center and Northwest Fire Station 37 fails. Because the
Altium equipment is not under warranty, Simply Bits will install
new; like equipment. At the end of the extension period, the Town
of Marana elects to purchase the equipment for $16,250.

Equipment at Beacon Hill Facility:
On January 4, 2005, the Town of Marana entered into a "Beacon Hill
Communications Site Lease and Settlement Agreement" {the "Beacon Hill
Agreement") with the owner of Beacon Hill, which included a provision stating that
{00013914.DOC / 2}
-2-
EXHIBIT B
the Town of Marana "is not permitted to use the Premises to provide third-party
communications services."
In August or September 2006, certain communications equipment owned by the
Town and ocated on Beacon Hill was replaced with communications facilities
owned by Simply Bits. Simply Bits used the equipment not only to provide service
for the Town of Martina but also for other third parties. Neither Simply Bits nor the
Town of Marana representative who authorized the replacement of the equipment
realized the conflict with the Beacon Hill Agreement, and Simply Bits equipment has
remained on Beacon Hill and has continued to be used in the same manner until the
date of this Memorandum of Understanding.
Because the Simply Bits equipment was placed on Beacon Hill for the.Town's
benefit and cannot now be removed without causing immediate harm to the Town of
Marana's communications and to the operations of Simply Bits, the Town shall be
`responsible to contact the owner of Beacon Hill and to .pay any rents, fees,. or
penalties associated with Simply Bits' placement of its equipment on Beacon Hill
during the period that Simply Bits is providing service under the Three Contracts, as
extended by this Memorandum of Understanding.
The Town will immediately pursue a settlement agreement to compensate the owner
of the Beacon Hill property for allowing the Simply Bits equipment to be installed on
Beacon Hill through the date of termination of the Three Contracts as extended by
this Memorandum of Understanding.
Simply Bits will pursue a lease agreement with the owner of the .Beacon Hill
property before the date. of termination of the Three Contracts as extended by this
Memorandum of Understanding. At that point, if the owner of the Beacon Hill.
property decides not to enter into a direct agreement with Simply Bits but allows the
current Simply Bits equipment to remain in place pursuant to the same terms as the
Town's settlement agreement with the owner of the Beacon Hill property, Simply
Bits shall begin making monthly payments to the Town which shall be passed
through to the owner of the Beacon Hill property. Simply Bits shall remove their
equipment from Beacon Hill before the<date of termination of the Three Contracts as
extended. by this Memorandum of Understanding if no agreement has been reached
with. the owner of the Beacon Hill property to allow it to remain in place.
If Simply Bits successfully negotiates. an agreement with the owner of Beacon Hill
and is permitted to leave its equipment on Beacon Hill, the Town hereby agrees to
allow the currenf Simply Bits equipment and antennas to remain in their current
location on and within the small Beacon Hill building maintained by the Town until
the expiration of the Beacon Hill Agreement.

This Memorandum is subject to the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511, which provides
for cancellation of contracts by public agencies in certain instances involving
conflicts of interest.

Understanding shalLnot be treated as having been written by either of the parties for

Introduction
The Town of Marana entered into three separate thirty-six month services agreements
with Panzica Enterprises, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, dba WJM
Computer Solutions for the term of April 1, 2006 through March 31, 2009. Simply Bits is
the sole supplier of services under these three contracts, and since June 2008, "Panzica"
has assigned the Town of Marana's contract payments for services directly to Simply
Bits.
These contracts are about to expire. The Town of Marana and Simply Bits desire to
continue their business relationship, for a defined period of time, guided by the terms and
conditions of the three "Panzca" contracts; and therefore, the parties agreed as set forth
below:
Understanding
The Extension Period For All Three Contracts:
The extension period shall be three months, from April 1, 2009 through June 30,
2009. Thereafter, the extension term shall automatically continue on a month to
month basis until the receipt, by either party, of a written notice of cancellation at the
end of a month. The notice of cancellation will advise the other party that in 60 days,
the extension period, and consequently the terms and conditions of this
Memorandum of Understanding, will expire.

Bits services for the WAN Management portion under the guidelines of the
"Panzica" contract as written.
Extend the Warranty portion of Simply Bits services under the guidelines of the
"Panzica" contract as written with the following modification:

equipment performing to the same or higher specifications.
At the end of the extension period and in the event of an Altium
failure, the Town of Marana shall have two options:
1. Purchase the replacement equipment
2. Not Purchase the replacement equipment
Should the Town of Marana elect to purchase the replacement
equipment, they will receive a warranty repair credit of $4,500 to be
applied (deducted) to the purchase. price of the replacement
equipment.
By way of example, suppose that the link between Marana
Municipal Center and Northwest Fire Station 37 fails. Because the
Altium equipment is not under warranty, Simply Bits will install
new, like equipment. At the end of the extension period, the Town
of Marana elects to purchase the equipment for $16,250.

Equipment at Beacon Hill Facility:
On January 4, 2005, the Town of Marana entered into a "Beacon Hill
Communications Site Lease and Settlement Agreement" (the "Beacon Hill
Agreement") with the owner of Beacon Hill, which included a provision stating that
{00013914.DOC / 2}
-2-
the Town of Marana "is not permitted to use the Premises to provide third-party
communications services."
In August or September 2006, certain communications equipment owned by the
Town and loc~lted on Beacon Hill was replaced with communications facilities
owned by Simply Bits. Simply Bits used the equipment not only to provide service
for the Town of Marana but also for other third parties. Neither Simply Bits nor the
Town of Marana representative who authorized the replacement of the equipment
realized the conflict with the Beacon Hill Agreement, and Simply Bits equipment has
remained on Beacon Hill and has continued to be used in the same manner until the
date of this Memorandum of Understanding.
Because the Simply Bits equipment was placed on Beacon Hill for the Town's
benefit and cannot now be removed without causing immediate harm to the Town of
Marana's communications and to the operations of Simply Bits, the Town shall be
responsible to contact the owner of Beacon Hill and to pay any rents, fees, or
penalties associated with Simply Bits' placement of its equipment on Beacon Hill
during the period that Simply Bits is providing service under the Three Contracts, as
extended by this Memorandum of Understanding.
The Town will immediately pursue a settlement agreement to compensate the owner
of the Beacon Hill property for allowing the Simply Bits equipment to be installed on
Beacon Hill through the date of termination of the Three Contracts as extended by
this Memorandum of Understanding.
Simply Bits will pursue a lease agreement with the owner of the Beacon Hill
property before the date of termination of the Three Contracts as extended by this
Memorandum of Understanding. At that point, if the owner of the Beacon Hill
property decides .not to enter into a direct agreement with Simply Bits but allows the
current Simply Bits equipment to remain in place pursuant to the same terms as the
Town's settlement agreement with the owner of the Beacon Hill property, Simply
Bits shall begin making monthly payments to the Town which shall be passed
.through to the owner of the Beacon Hill property. Simply Bits. shall remove their
equipment from Beacon Hill before the date of termination of the Three Contracts as
extended by this Memorandum of Understanding if no agreement has been reached
with the owner of the Beacon Hill property to allow it to remain in place.
If Simply Bits successfully negotiates an agreement with the owner of Beacon Hill
and is permitted to leave its equipment on Beacon Hill, the Town hereby agrees to
allow the current Simply Bits equipment and antennas to remain in their current
location on and within the small Beacon Hill building maintained by the Town until
the expiration of the Beacon Hill Agreement.

for cancellation of contracts by public agencies in certain instances involving
conflicts of interest.

Understanding shall not be treated as having been written by either of the parties for
purposes of interpretation.
