Customer Representations, Warranties, Acknowledgments, and Responsibilities

15. Customer hereby represents that it is authorized to enter into this Agreement and has the funds necessary to pay the Total Price. Customer also hereby represents that it is the fee simple owner of the Site Address, or that if it is not, it is acting as an agent for the fee simple owner of the Site Address such that Fortis is in contractual privity with the fee simple owner of the Site Address. Customer warrants and covenants that the execution of this Agreement and the terms contained herein do not violate the provisions of any other agreement which Customer may have made.

16. Customer agrees that he/she has a duty to cooperate with Fortis with regard to executing documents as needed for the purpose of completing the Work, including executing notices of commencement or building permit documents. Customer also agrees to be available at the Site Address as needed to provide access for the performance of the Work and inspections of the Work. Customer also agrees not to remove or hide any posted permit placard.

17. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT FORTIS IS NOT AN INSURER. THE AMOUNTS FORTIS CHARGES CUSTOMER ARE NOT INSURANCE PREMIUMS.

RISK OF LOSS ON CUSTOMER'S PREMISES.

18. FORTIS' WORK DOES NOT CAUSE AND CANNOT ELIMINATE OCCURENCES OF THE EVENTS THEY ARE INTENDED TO DETECT OR AVERT.

FORTIS MAKES NO GUARANTY OR WARRANTY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THAT THE WORK SUPPLIED WILL DETECT OR AVERT SUCH EVENTS OR THE CONSEQUENCES THEREFROM. ACCORDINGLY, FORTIS DOES NOT UNDERTAKE ANY RISK THAT CUSTOMER'S PERSON OR PROPERTY, OR THE PERSON OR PROPERTY OF OTHERS, MAY BE SUBJECT TO INJURY OR LOSS IF SUCH AN EVENT OCCURS. THE ALLOCATION OF SUCH RISK REMAINS WITH CUSTOMER, NOT FORTIS. INSURANCE, IF ANY, CONVERING SUCH RISK SHALL BE OBTAINED BY CUSTOMER.

THIS WILL BE THE SOLE REMEDY BECAUSE IT IS IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL DAMAGES, IF ANY, WHICH MAY RESULT FROM FORTIS'S FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. IF CUSTOMER REQUESTS, FORTIS MAY ASSUME GREATER LIABILITY BY ATTACHING A RIDER TO THIS AGREEMENT STATING THE EXTENT OF FORTIS'S ADDITIONAL LIABILITY AND THE ADDITIONAL CHARGES CUSTOMER WILL PAY FOR FORTIS'S ASSUMPTION OF SUCH GREATER LIABILITY. HOWEVER, SUCH ADDITIONAL CHARGES ARE NOT INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND FORTIS IS NOT AN INSURER EVEN IF IT ENTERS INTO SUCH A RIDER.

20. THE PROVISIONS OF THESE SECTIONS SHALL APPLY NO MATTER HOW THE LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY OR OTHER CONSEQUENCE OCCURS, EVEN IF DUE TO FORTIS'S PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR FROM NEGLIGENCE, ACTIVE OR OTHERWISE, STRICT LIABILITY, VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICBLE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW OR ANY OTHER ALLEGED FAULT ON THE PART OF FORTIS, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES. IF ANY OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING CUSTOMER'S SUBROGATION INSURER, MAKES ANY CLAIM OR FILES ANY LAWSUIT AGAINST FORTIS IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE SERVICES, SYSTEM OR EQUIPMENT THAT ARE THE SUBJECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN CUSTOMER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD FORTIS HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL SUCH CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS INCLUDING THE PAYMENT OF ALL DAMAGES, EXPENSES, COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.

21. THE PROVISIONS OF THESE SECTIONS SHALL APPLY TO AND BENEFIT FORTIS AND ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PARENTS (BOTH DIRECT AND INDIRECT). IF THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR A DIRECT CONNECTION TO A FIRE DEPARTMENT OR OTHER ORGANIZATION, THEN THAT DEPARTMENT OR OTHER ORGANIZATION MAY ALSO INVOKE THE PROVISIONS OF THESE SECTIONS AGAINST ANY CLAIMS DUE TO ANY FAILURE OF SUCH DEPARTMENT OR ORGANIZATION.

If subscriber fails or refuses to cooperate or correct the excessive communication problem within 24 hours of written or verbal communication from Fortis or the monitoring station subscriber will be billed and shall pay the sum of one dollar ($1.00) for each individual communication received by the monitoring station which is in excess of normal system testing.

Should it actually be necessary to make repairs to the system due to one of the Conditions, a charge will be made for such work at Fortis's then applicable rates for labor and material. Services will be furnished by Fortis during Fortis's normal working hours Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

WHETHER ALLEGED AS RESULTING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT BY FORTIS OR NEGLIGENCE OF FORTIS OR OTHERWISE.

68. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, final payment, plus payment of any and all sums remaining due under this Agreement, shall be paid by Customer upon Substantial Completion. For Work not requiring a permit, Substantial Completion shall mean the date the Work is sufficiently complete to serve its functional purpose. For Work requiring a permit, Substantial Completion shall mean the date the Work passes its final permit inspection. Customer agrees (1) not to interfere with the passage of any permit inspection, (2) to allow access for all such inspections, and (3) not to request any passed inspection be reopened or failed. The existence of punch list items to be completed shall not be grounds to dispute or withhold any amounts due as a result of achieving Substantial Completion.

69. Fortis shall be not required to perform any work outside the Work absent a written and signed change order. Change orders are to be paid in full in advance of the completion of the change order, absent a contrary agreement between the Parties. In the event Fortis performs extra work without a written change order Fortis shall still be entitled to recover the value of the extra work, as determined by Fortis, or at the rates stated in this Agreement, from the Customer. Customer is responsible for the cost of additional work required by any municipality as a condition precedent to passing an inspection.

Article V – PFAS Warning & Rider

70. The terms and conditions contained in this Article only apply to Work, or a portion thereof, where PFAS exists or will exist at the Site Address.

71. The fire-fighting foam type specified for use or already in use at the Site Address contains compounds that utilize chemicals belonging to the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) family. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recently designated certain PFAS chemicals as hazardous, which includes those found in certain fluorinated foam concentrates. These chemicals are considered persistent, both in the environment and within the human body, and exposures to certain PEAS may lead to adverse human health conditions.

72. Operation of the foam system without proper controls may result in the release of a hazardous substance under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, ana Liability Act (CERCI-A), hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), or similar designation under federal, or state environmental laws. These regulations may require strict and onerous compliance for containing spills, runoff, and disposal of any effluent or contaminated system component.

73. Fortis, as a required component of a new foam system installation, must perform acceptance tests to prove correct functionality of the foam proportioning system. Absent specific system types which allow for operational testing without creating foam discharge that are above and beyond project specifications or currently installed components, Fortis will employ the use of a surrogate "foam replacement" test liquid to prove the proportioning system prior to introduction of PFAS-containing foam concentrate into the system components for new installations. Existing installations or future service and testing of foam systems with PFAS will require considerations for PFAS contamination regardless of test method utilized. It is a condition of this Agreement that Customer acknowledges and agrees to this PFAS warning and associated hazards and that this Agreement limits Fortis indemnification requirements solely to its own negligent acts or omissions,

74. Fortis will provide foam system testing activities as stewards of the environment and to maintain compliance with EPA state and local regulations as appropriate. This compliance requires Fortis to capture and contain an effluent discharge from a foam system and affected system components containing PFAS, and to allow for compliant hazardous waste disposal as the responsibility of the Customer as the waste generator. Fortis does not include third- party disposal services as part of its scope of work.

75. Fortis, aside from specific circumstances that necessitate the use of fluorinated foam agents, strongly recommends consideration of alternative foam concentrates that do not contain hazardous PFAS chemicals. In circumstances that necessitate the use of fluorinated agents, Fortis strongly recommends the use of advanced system technologies that mitigate the release of contaminated effluent during services and testing activities, Fortis is willing to help address any questions or comments regarding this warning and alternative solutions.

Article VI - Rider for the Inspection and/or Service of Fluorinated Foam Systems

76. The terms and conditions contained in this Article only apply to Work, or a portion thereof, that consists of providing inspection or service of fluorinated foam systems at the Site Address.

77. This Rider modifies the Agreement with respect to the installation, testing, inspection, service and/or repair of aqueous film forming foam ("AFFF") suppression systems, and/or removal of AFFF and associated hardware and piping associated with converting an AFFF suppression system to non-fluorinated foam system (collectively, the "Services") If any inconsistency exists between this Rider and the Agreement, this Rider will supersede and control. All other terms of the Agreement remain the same.

78. Customer understands and acknowledges that Fortis does not provide and shall not be responsible for the discharge, release, capture, containment, removal, transport or disposal of any AFFF (collectively, "AFFF Disposal") encountered in and/or discharged from Customer's systems relating to the testing of AFFF suppression systems, the performance of the Services, flushing of the system to remove any AFFF and/or removal of hardware and when converting an AFFF suppression system to a non-fluorinated system.

79. Further, Fortis will not perform training or testing activities involving the use, discharge and/or release of AFFF at the Customer's premises. Fortis will only perform testing activities on AFFF systems using alternative methods or techniques that do not require AFFF consumption. Customer remains solely responsible for any residual AFFF remaining in the system.

80. Customer shall be responsible for and shall engage a third-party on its behalf to perform any AFFF Disposal in accordance with the applicable law. AFFF related materials shall, at all times, remain the responsibility and property of Customer. Customer shall select a disposal site, as necessary, and conduct due diligence on any such disposal facilities. Customer will sign any necessary waste disposal manifest related to the Services. Referrals of waste disposal sites as a courtesy is not intended to or shall be construed as making Company a "generator" of the waste for purposes RCRA or an entity that "arranged for the disposal" of the substances or waste under CERCLA.

81. Customer shall Indemnify and hold Fortis harmless from and against any and all claims, demands and/or damages arising in whole or in part from the use, release, discharge, capture, containment, testing that involves the discharge or release, removal, transport, and/or disposal of any AFFF encountered or discharged from any of the systems and/or during performance of the Services. This indemnification includes any claims under environmental regulations or laws, including but not to CERCLA and RCRA.

82. IN NO EVENT, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OR FAULT AND OR CAUSE OF ACTION WILL FORTIS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE PERSONNEL, SUPPLIERS AND VENDORS BE LIABLE FOR: (A) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES; (B) LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, CUSTOMER OPPORTUNITIES; (C) BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS; (D)DATA LOSS OR OTHER LOSSES ARISING FROM VIRUS, RANSOMWARE, CYBERATTACKS OR FAILURES; OR (E) ANY DAMAGES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, COSTS, OR LOSS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICES CONTEMPLATED THEREBY IN ANY AMOUNT EXCEEDING THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO THE COMPANY

UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

83. If Fortis's performance of its obligations becomes impracticable due to obsolescence or unavailability of AFFF systems, equipment, or (including component parts and/or materials) or because Fortis or its supplier(s) has discontinued the manufacture or the sale of the equipment (and/or products or are no
