trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, or any intellectual property rights
or other third party proprietary rights, in the performance of services under
this Agreement.
18.2 SELLER shall be liable and responsible for any and all claims made against
the Buyer for infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark,

or action against Buyer for infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark,

or misuses the software and/or documentation. So long as SELLER bears the
cost and expense of payment for claims or actions against Buyer pursuant to
this section, SELLER shall have the right to conduct the defense of any such
claim or action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise and to
settle or compromise any such claim; however, Buyer shall have the right to

indemnify Buyer under this Agreement. If the software and/or documentation
or any part thereof is held to infringe and the use thereof is enjoined or
restrained or, if as a result of a settlement or compromise, such use is
materially adversely restricted, SELLER shall, at its own expense and as
Buyer's sole remedy, either: (a) procure for Buyer the right to continue to use
the software and/or documentation; or (b) modify the software and/or
7
documentation to make it non -infringing, provided that such modification
does not materially adversely affect Buyer's authorized use of the software
and/or documentation; or (c) replace the software and/or documentation
with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing
software and/or documentation at no additional charge to Buyer; or (d) if none
of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available to SELLER terminate this
Agreement, and refund all amounts paid to SELLER by Buyer, subsequent to
which termination Buyer may seek any and all remedies available to Buyer

Re: Sole Sourcing Chemical Decontamination Units for Fort Worth Fire Dept.
To Whom it May Concern:
The Chemical Decon Units (CDU) for fire stations are the unique proprietary design of
SaunaRay USA Inc. and are only available in our line of Decon Systems. They are
exclusively made for fire stations to a high level of durability with specific purpose -
designed non -toxic features. The vast majority of fire departments that have installed
our systems have sole -sourced the product from our company because it is unique.
There is no other comparable product available_
We have developed and supply standard operating guidelines for the units. We offer
ongoing educational outreach with fire chiefs, captains and firefighters about the
importance of toxic excretion in the units_
Our products are designed and built without common toxic building materials that may
outgas dangerous chemicals when heated. SaunaRay's Decon System designs are the
industry standard in more than 340 fire stations across North America. Unique design
specifications are listed and numbered below.
SaunaRay USA Inc_ has designed the CQU to include stationary exercise bikes that
help the user reach a sweat in minutes without raising the core body temperature. This
is a unique feature to the CIDU. The bikes are designed by our company to ensure they
do not outgas toxic fumes when heated. This is also a unique design feature in the
industry_ We include the bikes with every unit at no extra charge_
19
Chemical Decon Ln'rs sale source L-ter M
Our company has built non -toxic infrared saunas for fire stations across California and
throughout the United States and Canada for more than a decade_ We developed the
Chemical Decon Unit specifically for Fire Stations in consultation with members of the
Ontario Fire Marshal's mice, professional firefighters associations, as well as
individual firefighters and chiefs who adopted the system into their homes and fire
stations over the past ten years_ Our systems are one of a kind in the market_
Below is a brief and partial list of other civic administrations and institutions which have
sole -sourced our produ cts for the same reasons:
CalFire, CA; Contra Costa Fire District, CAS Carlsbad Fire DeK CA; Nevada County
FPD, CA, Salt Lake City, UT, Fort Worth FD, TX; Ponderosa FD, T)C; Spring FD, TX;
Houston FD, TX: Indianapolis FD, IN, New Philadelphia FD, OH, Chilhowie, FD, VA;
Unified Fire Authority, UT, Wentzville FD, MO: The City of Delray Springs FD, FLA;
Estero Fire Dept. FLA.
Decon System's unique proprietary design ensures the following in every Chemical
Decon Unit built in our factory:
Non -toxic Materials
1) Cabinet made with solid 3/4" thick planks of non -allergenic Basswood.
2) Cabinet is coated in natural beeswax instead of chemical lacquers to ensure zero
outgassing of toxic materials when heated_
3) Heating elements made wiith 100% US made ceramic heating elements, which
ensures zero outgassing of toxic materials.
4) Heater housing is made with food grade stainless steel which ensures zero
oxidization over time, and ensures zero outgassing of toxic materials.
5) Stationary exercise bikes included in the price have been specifically designed and
manufactured to withstand a heated environment with zero outgassing of toxic materials
(common exercise bikes will not withstand the heated environment without releasing a
noxious odor of lubricant, adhesive or rubber often making the experience intolerable for
users). The purpose is to combine gentle exercise with mild heat in order to promote a
decontaminating sweat without raising the core body temperature_ This combination
ensures fire fighters remain in service and call ready.
Functional Design:
6) Functioning windows for personal ventilation at every bike station in the unit. This
assists in maintaining a normalized core blood temperature while sweating and
individualizing the heat tolerance for users.
