Confidential Preliminary – Subject to Change Description The ARROW GPS Tracker is a self contained, integrated commercial grade vehicle tracking device that uses GPS satellite location in combination with a quad band GSM/GPRS cellular radio connection to report that location. All antennas including the GPS patch and GSM antenna are internal to the device. Data reporting can be initiated by a server or by the tracker itself via GSM/GPRS SMS or UDP pathways or over a physical USB connection. The ARROW is comprised of a simple two piece plastic enclosure that is snapped together for reliability, durability and low cost assembly. Interface signals and power are ported through a connector socket at one end with 8pin wire connector. The ARROW is based on chip level design as opposed to the traditional approach of using a third party communications module with an external processor. The application software executes on the base level Central Processing Unit (CPU) under direct real-time Operating System (OS) control. This approach provides a much more reliable, lower power and faster response time than module/processor architectures. Unlike common module/processor based designs; the ARROW design allows direct operating system access by the application, thus mitigating the need and for a redundant external processor and the associated power and cost. For added redundancy against system lockup, a physically separate, dedicated watchdog circuit oversees the ARROW system operation. If the system does not maintain the watchdog circuit through programmed reporting, the system power is cycled and a new GPS satellite and cellular connection is established. The ARROW can be provisioned for UDP and SMS data services for application command and/or data transactions within the 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz GSM bands. Network provisioning is done using embedded SIM technology for reliability and cost savings. For added safeguard against network connection loss, a hardware ARROW endpoint reset and reboot can be initiated by simply calling the provisioned phone number and allowing it to ring three times. Flexible I/O includes 2 bidirectional General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) ports. A separate dedicated USB port is provided for general use as well as development and programming support. A high current relay drive is provided for starter motor solenoid control or general purpose drive (current sink only). Over The Air (OTA) application firmware updates are supported through at TFTP connection to a server. The entire application image can be updated using one specialized SMS or USB command. All inputs are electrically hardened against overvoltage and over current conditions present in automotive environments. This includes transient electrical noise and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). The power input is further protected against over current with an internal self-resetting fuse. The ARROW is physically disguised to appear to be a nondescript part of the cabling system. It is a small black box with unremarkable features. Two LED status indicators are provided to verify correct installation and initial operation. A unique power  2015 Connected Holdings LLC Page 2 of 11

Confidential Preliminary – Subject to Change management feature allows these LEDs to be extinguished once installation is verified to be correct. This feature reduces power and further conceals the ION Tracker from untrained parties wishing to defeat its operation. As with all GPS location devices, the ARROW should be installed in a vehicle such that it has an unobstructed view of the sky during normal operation. Double sided foam tape can be used to secure the surface not facing the sky if needed. A factory populate option is provided to add a backup battery and motion detector to the main board. Under software control, this motion detector can be used to wake the ARROW from a very low power state.  2015 Connected Holdings LLC Page 3 of 11
