APPROVED:
This First Addendum to the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System ( "MABAS ") Master Agreement

included within the Master Agreement except as specifically changed herein. In the event there
is a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement and this Addendum, this
Addendum shall be controlling.
As the cost of lending mutual aid support has increased in recent times, communities
have determined it necessary to agree in advance on cost reimbursement issues prior to the
occurrence of an actual emergency. Mutual aid agreements such as the MABAS Master
Agreement have served as the foundation for navigating cost issues and engaging in these
agreements prior to the emergency avoid post - emergency concerns on cost reimbursement.

be at no charge to the party requesting aid for the first eight (8) consecutive hours
of aid provided to the Stricken Unit; however, any expenses recoverable from
third parties shall be equitably distributed among responding parties. Day to day
mutual aid should remain free of charge and the administrative requirements of
reimbursement make it unfeasible to charge for day -to -day mutual aid. Nothing
herein shall operate to bar any recovery of funds from any state or federal agency
under any existing statute.

equipment, personnel. and/or services _provided under this Agreement for terms of more than
eight (8) consecutive hours under the following terms and conditions:

amount of fees permitted to be assessed under Illinois law.
