shall not be considered or deemed a fixture, or an addition to, alteration, conversion, improvement, modernization, remodeling, repair or replacement of
any part of the realty, and Subscriber shall not permit the attachment thereto of any apparatus not furnished by RFI

PL
9. EQUIPMENT LIMITED WARRANTY: In the event that any part of the equipment, provided and installed by RFI, under this agreement, becomes
defective, RFI agrees to make all repairs and replacement of parts without costs to the Subscriber for a period of one year (or term of Extended Care
Warranty if selected in Section 1) from the date of substantial completion or beneficial use of occupancy, whichever occurs first. RFI reserves the option
to either replace or repair the covered equipment, and reserves the right to substitute materials of equal quality at time of replacement, or to use
reconditioned parts in fulfillment of this warranty. RFI’s warranty does not include damage caused by electric, plumbing or construction, nor damage by
lightning, electrical surge, or misuse. RFI is not the manufacturer of the equipment and other than RFI’s limited warranty Subscriber agrees to look
exclusively to the manufacturer of the equipment for repairs under its warranty coverage if any. Except as set forth in this agreement, RFI makes no
express warranties as to any matter whatsoever, including but not limited to, unless prohibited by law, the condition of the equipment, its
merchantability, or its fitness for any particular purpose, and RFI shall not be liable for consequential damages. RFI does not represent nor
M
warrant that the equipment may not be compromised or circumvented, or that the system will prevent any loss by fire, smoke or water or
otherwise; or that the system will in all cases provide the protection for which it is installed. RFI expressly disclaims any implied warranties,
including implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The warranty does not cover any damage to material or
equipment caused by accident, misuse, attempted or unauthorized repair service, modification, or improper installation by anyone other than RFI. RFI
shall not be liable for consequential damages. Subscriber acknowledges that any affirmation of fact or promise made by RFI shall not be deemed to
create an express warranty unless included in this agreement in writing; that Subscriber is not relying on RFI’s skill or judgment in selecting or furnishing
SA
a system suitable for any particular purpose and that there are no warranties which extend beyond those on the face of this agreement, and that RFI has
offered additional and more sophisticated equipment for an additional charge which Subscriber has declined. Subscriber's exclusive remedy for RFI’s
breach of this agreement or negligence to any degree under this agreement is to require RFI to repair or replace, at RFI’s option, any equipment which
is non-operational. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, or a limitation on the duration of implied
warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. The warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights
which may vary from state to state. Fire Alarms are required to be approved by AHJ and may require plans and specifications designed, signed and
submitted by a licensed architect or professional engineer, which must be engaged by Subscriber. If RFI is installing a Fire Alarm System to code
installation must be approved by the AHJ. This Limited Warranty is independent of and in addition to repair service contracted under section 2 of this
agreement

10. DELAY IN DELIVERY / INSTALLATION / RISK OF LOSS OF MATERIAL: RFI shall not be liable for any damage or loss sustained by Subscriber as
a result of delay in delivery and/or installation of equipment, equipment failure, or for interruption of service due to electric failure, strikes, walk-outs, war,
acts of God, public health emergency or other causes. The estimated date work is to be substantially completed is not a definite completion date and
time is not of the essence. In the event the work is delayed through no fault of RFI, RFI shall have such additional time for performance as may be
reasonably necessary under the circumstances. If installation is delayed for more than one year from date hereof through no fault of RFI, Subscriber
agrees to pay an additional 5% of the contract Purchase Price upon installation. Subscriber assumes all risk of loss of material once delivered to the job
site. RFI is authorized to make preparations such as drilling holes, driving nails, making attachments or doing any other thing necessary in RFI’s sole
discretion for the installation and service of the equipment, and RFI shall not be responsible for any condition created thereby as a result of such
installation, service, or removal of the equipment, and Subscriber represents that the owner of the premises, if other than Subscriber, authorizes the
installation of the equipment under the terms of this agreement. In the event installation of any equipment requires the shut off of any utility service or
equipment, including but not limited to gas, electric, boiler, range, oven, gas fireplaces, gas supplied kitchen or household appliances, Subscriber shall
be responsible to engage a licensed professional independent of RFI to shut off the utility service or equipment. RFI has no responsibility or liability for
shutting down utility service or equipment. Subscriber agrees to have such service performed within 48 hours upon request by RFI

11. REPAIR SERVICE: The parties agree that the equipment, once installed, is in the exclusive possession and control of the Subscriber, and it is
Subscriber's sole responsibility to notify RFI if any equipment is in need of repair. RFI shall not be required to service the equipment unless it has
received notice from Subscriber, and upon such notice, RFI shall, during the warranty period service the equipment to the best of its ability exclusive of
Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays, during the business hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m or if service has been contracted under paragraph 2 of this
agreement, services will be performed as prescribed under that agreement

12. SUBSCRIBER'S DUTY TO SUPPLY ELECTRIC AND TELEPHONE SERVICE: Subscriber agrees to furnish, at Subscriber's expense, all 120 Volt AC
power, electrical outlet, circuit breaker and dedicated electrical feed, internet connection, high speed broadband cable or DSL and IP Address, telephone
hook-ups, RJ31x Block or equivalent, as deemed necessary by RFI

13. SUBSCRIBER RESPONSIBLE FOR FALSE ALARMS / PERMIT FEES / NON-SOLICITATION / ADDITIONAL COSTS / OTHER LICENSED TRADES
/ CO AND ECB VIOLATIONS / AND EXPERT WITNESS FEES: Subscriber is responsible for all alarm permits and permit fees, agrees to file for and
maintain any permits required applicable law and AHJ and indemnify or reimburse RFI for any fees or fines relating to permits, code compliance or false
alarms. RFI shall have no liability for permit fees, false alarms, false alarm fines, fire response, any damage to personal or real property or personal
154.1 20220407 FAISTA Ver 2.0 RFI Initial _______________ Subscriber Initial ______________
injury caused by fire department response to alarm, whether false alarm or otherwise, or the refusal of the fire department to respond. In the event of
termination of fire response by the fire department this agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and Subscriber shall remain liable for all
payments provided for herein. Should RFI be required to perform any service or furnish any material not specifically covered by the terms of this
agreement, because of change in existing or hereafter enacted law, change in technology, obsolete or manufacturer’s end of life equipment, Subscriber
agrees to pay RFI for such service or material. The pricing to be paid by Subscriber in this agreement is based on current pricing by RFI's suppliers and
vendors. In view of supply shortage and inflation Subscriber agrees to pay any increase for equipment or services to RFI by RFI's suppliers and vendors
in connection with equipment and services to be provided by RFI to Subscriber. RFI will notify Subscriber of any such increase, and Subscriber shall
have the option of paying the increase or selecting alternative equipment and services, if available, for the prices set forth in this agreement. To the
extent not prohibited by California Business and Professions Code Section 16600, Subscriber agrees that it will not solicit for employment for itself,
or any other entity, or employ, in any capacity, any employee of RFI assigned by RFI to perform any service for or on behalf of Subscriber during the
term of this agreement, any renewals thereof and for a period of 2 years thereafter. In the event of Subscriber's violation of this provision, in addition to
injunctive relief, RFI shall recover from Subscriber an amount equal to such employee's salary based on the average three months preceding employee's
termination of employment with RFI, times twelve, together with RFI's counsel and expert witness fees. Subscriber is responsible for engaging licensed
trades to perform any work which RFI is not licensed to perform interconnecting the fire alarm to HVAC, elevators, appliances and other electronic and
mechanical systems. It is Subscriber's responsibility to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the intended use of the premises affected by the fire alarm
or obtain a Letter of No Objection from the AHJ if a Certificate of Occupancy is not available. It is Subscriber's sole responsibility to cure any building or
Environmental Control Board violations. In the event Subscriber or any third party subpoenas or summons RFI requiring any services or appearances,
Subscriber agrees to pay current RFI published hours for such services and appearances

14. INDEMNITY / WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS / ASSIGNMENTS: Subscriber agrees to and shall defend, advance expenses for litigation and
arbitration, including investigation, legal and expert witness fees, indemnify and hold harmless RFI, its employees, agents and subcontractors, from and
against all claims, lawsuits, including those brought by third parties or Subscriber, including reasonable attorneys' fees and losses asserted against and
alleged to be caused by RFI’s performance, negligent performance, or failure to perform any obligation under or in furtherance of this agreement or
failure to detect, mitigate or respond to any communicable disease, infectious agent, bacteria or virus. Parties agree that there are no third-party
beneficiaries of this agreement. Subscriber on its behalf and any insurance carrier waives any right of subrogation Subscriber's insurance carrier may
otherwise have against RFI or RFI’s subcontractors arising out of this agreement or the relation of the parties hereto. Subscriber shall not be permitted
to assign this agreement without written consent of RFI, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. RFI shall have the right to assign this agreement to
a company licensed to perform the services and shall be relieved of any obligations created herein upon such assignment

15. EXCULPATORY CLAUSE: RFI and Subscriber agree that RFI is not an insurer and no insurance coverage is offered herein. The fire alarm and RFI’s
E
services are designed to detect and reduce certain risks of loss, though RFI does not guarantee that no loss or damage will occur. RFI is not assuming
liability, and, therefore, Subscriber agrees RFI, shall not be liable to Subscriber or any other third party, and Subscriber covenants not to sue RFI, for
any loss, economic or non-economic, business loss or interruption, consequential damages, in contract or tort, data corruption or inability to retrieve
data, personal injury health condition, or property damage sustained by Subscriber or others as a result of equipment failure, human error, fire, smoke,
water, any communicable disease, infectious agent, bacteria, virus, illness or any other cause whatsoever, regardless of whether or not such loss or
PL
damage was caused by or contributed to by RFI’s breach of contract, negligent performance to any degree in furtherance of this agreement, any extra
contractual or legal duty, strict products liability, or negligent failure to perform any obligation pursuant to this agreement or any other legal duty, except
for gross negligence and willful misconduct. Subscriber releases RFI from any claims for contribution, indemnity or subrogation

16. INSURANCE / ALLOCATION OF RISK: Subscriber shall maintain a policy of Comprehensive General Liability and Property Insurance for liability,
casualty, fire, theft, and property damage under which Subscriber is named as insured and RFI is named as additional insured, proof of which shall be
provided to RFI, and which shall on a primary and non-contributing basis cover any loss or damage RFI's services are intended to detect to one hundred
percent of the insurable value or potential risk. The parties intend that the Subscriber assume all potential risk and damage that may arise by reason of
failure of the equipment or RFI's services and that Subscriber will look to its own insurance carrier for any loss or assume the risk of loss. RFI shall not
be responsible for any portion of any loss or damage which is recovered or recoverable by Subscriber from insurance covering such loss or damage or
M
for such loss or damage against which Subscriber is indemnified or insured. Subscriber and all those claiming rights under Subscriber waive all rights
against RFI and its subcontractors for loss or damages caused by perils intended to be detected by RFI's services or covered by insurance to be obtained
by Subscriber, except such rights as Subscriber or others may have to the proceeds of insurance

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: SUBSCRIBER AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR RFI’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, SHOULD
THERE ARISE ANY LIABILITY ON THE PART OF RFI AS A RESULT OF RFI'S BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENT PERFORMANCE TO ANY

DUTY, EQUIPMENT FAILURE, HUMAN ERROR, OR STRICT PRODUCTS LIABILITY, WHETHER ECONOMIC OR NON-ECONOMIC, IN CONTRACT
OR IN TORT, THAT RFI'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SUM OF $500.00 OR 6 TIMES THE MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR SERVICES BEING
PROVIDED AT TIME OF LOSS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. IF SUBSCRIBER WISHES TO INCREASE RFI'S AMOUNT OF LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY, SUBSCRIBER MAY, AS A MATTER OF RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, BY ENTERING INTO A SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT, OBTAIN A
HIGHER LIMIT BY PAYING AN ANNUAL PAYMENT CONSONANT WITH RFI'S INCREASED LIABILITY. THIS SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS
INSURANCE COVERAGE AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, RFI’S LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED ITS AVAILABLE INSURANCE
COVERAGE. NO ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY MORE THAN THREE (3) MONTHS AFTER
THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES EXCEPT THAT AN ACTION FOR NON-PAYMENT MAY BE BROUGHT BY RFI AT ANY TIME WITHIN
APPLICAPLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TIME PERIOD

SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS EXCULPATORY CLAUSE, INDEMNITY, INSURANCE, AND
ALLOCATION OF RISK AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS

18. LEGAL ACTION / ARBITRATION / SECURITY INTEREST / BREACH / LIQUIDATED DAMAGES / AGREEMENT TO BINDING ARBITRATION: The
parties agree that due to the nature of the services to be provided by RFI, the payments to be made by the Subscriber for the term of this agreement
form an integral part of RFI's anticipated profits; that in the event of Subscriber's default it would be difficult if not impossible to fix RFI's actual damages

Therefore, in the event Subscriber defaults in any payment or charges to be paid to RFI, Subscriber shall be immediately liable for any unpaid invoiced
charges and any unpaid charges for labor, material and equipment. If agreement includes services detailed in (2-5) 80% of the balance of all payments
for the entire term of this agreement as LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Upon suspension or termination of services RFI will notify Subscriber of such
termination. RFI is authorized to notify Subscriber by email, First Class Mail delivered by the US Postal Service or text message to Subscriber’s cell
phone

In event of Subscriber’s default in performance of this agreement RFI may, without prior notice, suspend or terminate its services and shall be permitted
to terminate all its services under this agreement and deactivate the System without relieving Subscriber of any obligation herein and may notify AHJ of
termination. All actions or proceedings by either party must be based on the provisions of this agreement. Any other action that Subscriber may have or
bring against RFI in respect to services rendered in connection with this agreement shall be deemed to have merged in and be restricted to the terms
and conditions of this agreement. The prevailing party in any litigation or arbitration is entitled to recover its legal fees from the other party. The parties
waive trial by jury in any action between them unless prohibited by law. In any action commenced by RFI against Subscriber, Subscriber shall not be
permitted to interpose any counterclaim. SUBSCRIBER MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST RFI ONLY IN SUBSCRIBER’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND
NOT AS A CLASS ACTION PLAINTIFF OR CLASS ACTION MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY
DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ISSUES OF ARBITRABILITY, SHALL, AT THE OPTION
OF ANY PARTY, BE DETERMINED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR ADMINISTERED BY ARBITRATION
SERVICES INC., ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, PURSUANT TO ITS ARBITRATION RULES AT WWW.ARBITRATIONSERVICESINC.COM AND
THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (FAA), EXCEPT THAT NO PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES MAY BE AWARDED. The arbitrator shall
154.1 20220407 FAISTA Ver 2.0
be bound by the terms of this agreement, and shall on request of a party, conduct proceedings by telephone, video or submission of papers. A party
requesting in-person discovery, in-person hearing or a transcript of the discovery proceeding or hearing, shall pay for the cost of such transcript and
arbitrator fees charged in connection with the discovery request and in-person hearing, which may be allocated among the parties by the arbitrator in the
final award. By agreeing to this arbitration provision the parties waive their right to a trial before a judge or jury, waive their right to appeal the arbitration
award and waive their right to participate in a class action. In the event of any litigation between the parties they waive the right to a jury trial unless
prohibited by law.". Service of process or papers in any legal proceeding or arbitration between the parties may be made by First-Class Mail delivered
by the U.S. Postal Service addressed to the party's address designated in this agreement, on file with an agency of the state, or any other address
provided by the party in writing to the party making service. The parties submit to the jurisdiction and laws of California, except for arbitration which is
governed by the FAA and the arbitration rules. The parties are engaged in interstate commerce and the FAA and arbitration rules shall govern,
notwithstanding any state law to the contrary. Any action or arbitration between the parties must be commenced within one year of the accrual of the
cause of action or shall be barred. The prevailing party in any litigation or arbitration is entitled to recover its legal fees, costs and disbursements so that
the party is made whole from the other party. In the event a party commences a proceeding to confirm an arbitration award, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to attorney fees, costs and disbursements for such proceeding. All actions, arbitration or proceedings by either party must be based on the
provisions of this agreement and any other action that Subscriber may have or bring against RFI in respect to other services rendered in connection with
this agreement shall be deemed to have merged in and be restricted to the terms and conditions of this agreement

SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES AND THAT
ARBITRATION IS BINDING AND FINAL AND THAT SUBSCRIBER IS WAIVING SUBSCRIBER’S RIGHT TO TRIAL IN A COURT OF LAW AND OTHER
RIGHTS

19. RFI’S RIGHT TO SUBCONTRACT SPECIAL SERVICES: Subscriber agrees that RFI is authorized and permitted to subcontract any services to be

with respect to such third parties, except that RFI shall not obligate Subscriber to make any payments to such third parties. Subscriber acknowledges

Subscriber’s sole obligation to remove such conditions from the premises, and if the work is delayed due to the discovery of suspected asbestos or other
E
hazardous material or conditions then an extension of time to perform the work shall be allowed and Subscriber agrees to compensate RFI for any
additional expenses caused by the delay until work can resume. If RFI, in its sole discretion, determines that continuing the work poses a risk to RFI or
its employees or agents, RFI may elect to terminate this agreement on 3-day notice to Subscriber and Subscriber shall compensate RFI for all services
rendered and material provided to date of termination. RFI shall be entitled to remove all its equipment and uninstalled equipment and material from the
