6. In the event SUBSCRIBER terminates this AGREEMENT prior to the expiration of the term or fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, SUBSCRIBER agrees that in addition to outstanding amounts owed Telemet for the SERVICE already received, a realistic pre-estimate of the loss to Telemet arising from said premature termination and/or failure to comply with said terms and conditions, shall amount to the total aggregate monthly charges payable hereunder from the date of such premature termination and/or failure to comply, to the last day of said term. This amount shall be reduced by two percent (2%) of such total for each completed month SUBSCRIBER has taken and paid for the SERVICE during said term to a minimum amount of seventy-five (75%) of such total aggregate monthly charges. The amount shall be increased by any and all court and/or attorney's fees that Telemet may incur to enforce this Agreement.
