I think the below email string answers your ques on. The new rates went into effect by opera on of law as set forth
below. We contemplated the need for an amendment to the agreement, but it does not believe it every finalized.

Please see emails below and a ached le er. This will most likely require an amendment to the a ached agreement
between Securus and BSO. See pricing on page 10.

Importance: High
All,
I’ve been sending out updates to all of you on this over the last few months, but I wanted to remind you that the new
Interstate inmate call rates go into effect on 2/11. Please review the informa on below and a ached from our
corporate counsel. The FCC order does supersede any exis ng contract wording and the changes will be going into
effect on the 11th regardless. There was a le er that was sent out to all customers but I wanted to get this to you so you
can inform inmates if needed. Again, this applies only to Interstate calls.
As per our Corporate Counsel:
The FCC’s order applies by opera on of law. Securus is likely to be subject to FCC fines, and to contempt of a federal
court’s order, in the event we fail to implement rate caps and stop commissions on interstate calls on February 11.
The FCC order is a ached.
Interstate Rates will be:
$.0.25 cents per minute for collect calls and $0.21 per minute for prepaid card or debit calls. No commissions will be
paid on Interstate calls a er the 11th as per the order.
No other rates will change and Securus will be happy to discuss op on on way to recoup any lost revenues from the
implementa on of FCC order. (adding debit calling, AIS, raising local rates, implemen ng Securus Instant Pay, or any
other call ac vi es that can improve call volume.
In the interim, we will spend over $1 Million dollars in legal fees to fight this for our facility customers. We will spend
another $1 Million+ dollars in internal costs of changing our billing system, discussing with facility customers, and
training our Account Managers. Securus will spend another $500,000+ dollars per year in FCC filings to jus fy our
rates. .
Thank you.
