Leica SmartNet Ireland Service Level Agreement

Between:

(1) Leica Geosystems Limited (Leica)

(2) [Company name][a company registered in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland (company registration number [insert number]),] whose registered office is at [address] (Company).

(3) Background

A Leica has access to a national reference station infrastructure across Ireland, based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The main infrastructure is provided by Ordnance Survey Ireland and Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland, which are the national mapping agencies for Ireland and are the owners of the OSI/OSNI reference stations and exclusive GPS data feed to Leica. OSI & OSNI reference stations collect real time GPS position observations. These observations are then made available in Leica Binary 2 (LB2), Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) or some other format. The OSI feed from this national reference station infrastructure (OSI & OSNI), is used with Leica solely owned SpiderNet software, to generate national GNSS networked products to end users. The national GNSS network provided by Leica is termed as Smart Net.

B Leica and the Company agree to enter into this framework agreement so as to grant the Company the right to access and use Smart Net pursuant to the terms of Contracts which the parties may execute from time to time. time.
