Azzurro Systems Integration Services Consulting ASI has decades of experience in broadcast facilities systems design, integration, implementation and operations. In short, not only have we built facilities; we have operated them. This is and invaluable knowledge resource our customers have the benefit of at the initial stages of a projects conception. Working with our customer, the ASI technology team will review and validate all design and workflow concepts; propose appropriate alternatives to reduce budget, improve functionality, efficiency and reliability; identify and evaluate equipment suppliers; provide analysis of competing solutions; set up equipment / supplier interviews, presentations and/or visits. Finally, in close conjunction with the client’s, the team will develop the detailed overall technology “blueprint” for the facility. This blueprint will provide the customer a detailed outline of how the facility should be designed and built that will include all the functionality desired without extraneous costs or superfluous equipment. ASI ‘s design, engineering and installation staff undergoes routine training with our equipment and installation materials vendors so that they are current with all technology and hardware options available to them. This enables us to help our customers determine the best technology available today that will meet their current need and will grow with them in the future. |

| Project Management ASI will manage the entire design and integration scope of a clients project with a professional management team, highly experienced in similar scope projects. The central member of the ASI project team is the Senior Project Manager, who, in collaboration with the customer, sets the technical vision and design philosophy that will direct the planning process. The project manager coordinates the analysis of technical and operational factors, to guide you in determining project priorities and direction. As primary point-of-contact, the project manager works directly with your representatives to supervise and track all matters of engineering design, project scheduling, costing, quality control, and on-site move in and installation. He will coordinate the information flow between the client and ASI, will manage the project to the schedule and budget, and will insure the client’s satisfaction. Our formula for success hinges on the project team. Our first goal is to create a synergy with your staff to be sure we achieve a level of communication that serves your project’s unique specifications. Comprehensive planning and focused management provide a high level of precision and attention to detail. Problems are anticipated and avoided, and transitions between all project phases are virtually seamless. The core of the project team is typically comprised of system engineers and a project leader. The project leader develops an in-depth knowledge of your project early in the process. This includes cable run sheet preparation, cable fabrication, and system assembly. The project leader oversees manufacturing personnel including wiring, electronic technicians and assembly workers. Capitalizing on project intricacies learned during these in-house duties, the project leader then supervises the installation of the system at your site. Our project team employs a sophisticated network of computer systems designed to track all aspects of a project from conception to delivery. In addition, we make extensive use of the latest in computer-aided design (CAD). These tools enable us to provide our clients with unsurpassed project management services. Additional technical and administrative support is available from other personnel at ASI to support the project team in various capacities as required. These team resources represent decades of experience, and an unparalleled level of engineering and management proficiency. On-going status reports are provided, to update your representatives in terms of schedule progress and all other relevant project items. |

| Design Engineering ASI‘s design engineers will prepare complete and detailed systems drawings, including functional drawings, rack layouts, console layouts, mechanicals, floor plans, patch field layouts, etc. ASI will review these drawings in periodic design reviews with our customer, who will approve all design drawings prior to fabrication. All drawings and systems documentation will adhere to the highest industry standards. Concurrent with the design development (and based upon information gathered in the initial planning sessions), ASI prepares a comprehensive Systems Design Package, which includes the preparation of detailed electronic systems drawings and specifications. The engineering documentation includes (where appropriate):

| Equipment Procurement and Logistics ASI will procure the required equipment and materials in accordance with the agreed procurement schedule. This equipment will be tracked and where needed expedited to meet the timely delivery requirements. ASI will check equipment for damage and completeness of order and log equipment into the project database. All equipment and materials will be warehoused in ASI’s Northvale facility. ASI’s philosophy is to provide equipment as part of a complete turnkey package, through our extensive SI reseller relationships. Under the direction of the project manager, ASI procures all equipment and materials detailed on the enclosed schedules. Procurement services include:

| Pre-wiring, Assembly and Integration ASI has the ability to fabricate and terminate all cables and assemblies, in our Northvale facilities. All cables will be sweep tested to eliminate any onsite cable failures. All cables will be labeled with a “to” and “from” on both ends. A final shipping inventory will be created. All cable fabrication is performed utilizing programmable, automated stripping equipment. This approach virtually eliminates cable failures. All cables are tested prior to installation into racks or patch-fields. All fabrication and pre-assembly is performed at ASI’s facilities in Northvale, New Jersey. As part of the pre-build operation, cables are harnessed together where appropriate, tagged for their final destination on-site, coiled and secured for storage. Cables are pre-sorted with the aid of the cable run-sheet database. The cables with similar source and destination locations are bundled and tagged at ASI during this pre-fabrication phase. These methods of pre-fabrication may dramatically reduce the on-site installation time required. All equipment, consoles, cable harnesses and panels are fully staged in ASI’s Northvale facilities prior to packing and shipping to the facility site. |

| Console Design and fabrication With your operations and engineering needs in mind ASI will help design and build control consoles to fit your staffing, ergonomic and budget needs keeping in mind the need and desire for aesthetics and appeal. We understand the amount of capitol these jobs take and the want for facility that impresses not only for it’s technological capabilities but for the need for operators to feel comfortable and proud to be representing your organization. |

| On-Site Installation ASI will install the system, complete systems commissioning and test, and provide systems level training for the clients engineering personnel. We will coordinate all equipment and software support personnel and manage them to insure project completion on schedule. At the request of the client, we will coordinate any available manufacturer training and equipment commissioning. ASI personnel conduct on-site installation tasks. These tasks include setting consoles in place. Loose cables are run between rooms and racks and connected. Additional equipment not slated for mounting in consoles or racks, such as speakers, or sensitive equipment that is best shipped in its original box or crate, are shipped to the site and secured for installation at a later time. ASI’s project manager and/or project leader provides on-site supervision throughout the installation process, serving as liaison with the customers staff and contractors. The project leader is responsible for coordinating pre-fabrication performed at ASI’s facilities, as well as supervision of all on-site fabrication and assembly performed by ASI’s installers. Our extensive supervision allows for quick identification and resolution of any installation problems that might arise. |

| On-Site Testing Since cables and cable assemblies are tested prior to shipment from ASI’s facilities, few signal continuity problems are encountered at the installation site. Testing is performed incrementally, as the various sub-system installations are completed. Installation schedules are prepared so that completed sub-systems can be tested while installation progresses on other, unrelated sub-systems. A typical system check includes the following:

| On-Site Training During the testing and optimizing period, training in the particulars of the facility design and construction, as well as set-up and system maintenance is provided to designated NYSE staff members. As part of ASI’s training program, facility personnel are taught to use, update and amend the documentation package, where applicable. Training on specific equipment (including operation and maintenance) can be provided through ASI at additional cost. |
