Hunter, Eric and Rob, Please find attached background materials for your intro meeting with Ralph Clark, CEO of Shotspotter tomorrow. This is a "get to know you" intro meeting during which he will present the business. He has agreed to speak at the annual meeting and I think this could be a good deal for RSTP if we can get the customer acquisition model right. Please also see my message to Ralph below to set his expectations for the meeting. I will plan to dial into the meeting at: 202 446 0483. 333188# Best, John Hi Ralph, My DC team is looking forward to meeting you tomorrow and I will dial in as I need to be in Chicago. You will be meeting with Hunter Biden, Eric Schwerin and Rob Walker. They are the three partners in our DC office who run our business development team and they are über-connected in DC and internationally. Their expectation is for you to give them an overview of Shotspotter and get to know you. In our internal discussions regarding the company there has been a great amount of enthusiasm. It seems as if it is not a question of if your system is adopted but when--we view the business as a great recurring revenue model with high barriers to entry that is good for the world. The trick is customer adoption. It is clear that faster scaling requires a more efficient/less expensive customer acquisition model than you are currently modeling. What we would like to figure out is how we can bring our network to bear to help make this happen. I do not expect us to have the answer to this at our meeting tomorrow, but I just wanted to give you the heads up that this is what our entire team is thinking about and to the extent you can better arm us that would be great. As such, besides a general business overview diving a little deeper into how you have pursued customer acquisition over time and any analytics you have around this would be helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am available on 415 793 7070 . Best, John ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ralph A.

Please find attached our five year financial model along with an investor presentation I made at the Imperial Capital Security Conference held in Dec '12. I will be traveling to DC again week after next to attend the National League of Cities Conference. Let me know if you would like to have me connect with any of your colleagues while I am back there.
