specified number of false alarms, requiring additional verification of an alarm signal before the police respond or
providing no response to residential system alarms.
The alarm industry is also subject to requirements, codes and standards imposed by various insurance,
approval and listing and standards organizations. Depending upon the type of customer, security service provided
and requirements of the applicable local governmental jurisdiction, adherence to the requirements, codes and
standards of such organizations is mandatory in some instances and voluntary in others.
Changes in laws and regulations can affect our operations, both positively and negatively, and impact the
manner in which we conduct our business.

As of September 27, 2013, we employed approximately 17,000 people. Approximately 12% of our
