The support agreement contemplates that all trade claims whether arising prior to or after the commencement of the voluntary chapter 11 cases will be paid in full in the ordinary course of business, and that the company will continue operating its business without disruption to its customers, vendors, partners or employees. Ascent will, subject to, among other things, the receipt of the requisite approval of Ascent’s stockholders, merge into Monitronics. As a result of the merger, all assets of Ascent, including an anticipated
approximately $23 million in cash, will become assets of Monitronics. Ascent’s stockholders are expected to receive approximately up to 5. 82 percent of the total shares of Monitronics common stock expected to be issued and outstanding immediately following completion of the reorganization and merger, but subject to dilution by certain shares issued under a management incentive plan for the company, in exchange for all then issued and outstanding shares of Ascent common stock. If, however, Ascent is expected to hold cash equal to or in excess of $20 million but less than the target cash amount as of the date of completion of the reorganization of Monitronics under the plan, the stockholders of Ascent will receive a proportionately lower percentage of shares of Monitronics common stock, and certain participants in the equity rights
offering have agreed to contribute the shortfall.

Whether you decide to go with a DIY system or opt for a professionally installed system, you'll have to pay a monthly or annual fee if you require monitoring, and in some cases, you'll be hit with a monthly fee to pay off the cost of hardware components. With most DIY systems,
such as the SimpliSafe Home Security Kit, the Ring Alarm Security Kit, and the Nest Secure, you purchase the hardware outright and can avoid any monthly fees if you decide to self monitor. If you add monitoring, fees will vary: SimpliSafe charges $14. 99 per month for its no contract monitoring service, while Nest charges $29 per month. If you commit to a three year contract, the price of the Nest service drops to $19 per month. Ring's Protect Plus plan goes for $10 per month and doesn't require a contract. Monitoring for professionally installed systems tends to be more expensive. The ADT Pulse monitoring service starts at $28. 99 per month and requires a three year contract, but you also have to figure in the cost of things like hardware components, cellular backup, and installation. When we reviewed the Pulse system, our
upfront cost was more than $3,000, with a monthly fee of over $60. Some vendors, such as LifeShield, will let you buy the components outright or lease them.
