Computer System

You must purchase a computer system that meets our standards and requirements (the "Computer System"). You must license the Software System and pay the license and other fees for use of same, as discussed below and in Items 5 and 6. Additionally, you may be required to license additional software from us, an affiliate, or a third party and you also may be required to pay an additional software licensing or user fee in connection with your use of such software. You will be liable for all damages and problems caused by your use of any software or the Computer System. We will have full and complete access to the information and data entered and produced by the Computer System and can use them in any way we deem appropriate. You must maintain a dedicated email account for the Business, separate from any personal or other email account. You must purchase any upgrades, enhancements or replacements to the Computer System and/or hardware and software that we may from time to time require, and that may be referenced in the Operations Manual. Except as provided in Exhibit K (Software System User and Maintenance Agreement), we have no contractual obligation to maintain, repair, update, or upgrade the Computer System. You must make sure that you are in compliance with all laws that are applicable to the Computer System or other technology used in the operation of your Business, including all data protection or security laws as well as payment card industry compliance. (Franchise Agreement, Section 5.E)

You must use the following hardware and software in the operation of the Business:

Hardware

The current cost of hardware for the Computer System is between $1,000 and $1,500 per computer, although the cost may increase in the future. You must use a computer with adequate memory, speed and storage to run the software we require you to use (described below). We will periodically assist you in determining the appropriate hardware and operating systems needed to support the required software but we are not obligated to provide or assist you in obtaining computer hardware. You may acquire your computer hardware from any source. You may use any type of computer that meets our requirements and will run the required software.

Currently, for office use, we recommend a PC with a 3.0GHz or higher 10 Core processor; 16 GB RAM; minimum 120 GB SSD hard drive; high speed Internet access capability, 1080P color monitor; 2 monitors; keyboard; mouse; and a laser or ink jet printer.

Currently, you must bring a laptop computer to training with at least a Quad Core 3.0 GHz processor or the equivalent; 8 GB RAM; 120 GB SSD hard drive; 1080P color monitor; and WI-FI 5 capable.

Currently, you must provide a current model iPad to each of your technicians for use with customers or otherwise in connection with the operation of the Business. We estimate the current cost of these tablets to be $500 each.

You must pay for all maintenance of your Computer System, internet access, and local area networks, at your own expense. We do not require you to sign any hardware maintenance or support contracts with us or any third party suppliers. In our experience, most of the computer hardware will have a manufacturer's warranty that you can extend at additional cost. We estimate that the annual cost to maintain the Computer System is $100 - $200 for maintenance not covered under manufacturer's warranty. We do not guarantee, warranty, maintain or support any computer hardware in any manner. You should determine for yourself whether or not any third party supplier from whom you purchase any component of your Computer System is obligated to provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades or updates to any component of your Computer System, and determine the additional cost for the services.

Software System

You must use, in the operation of the Business, our Software System (currently ServiceTitan business management software and our Technology Package (which currently includes Qvinci, FranConnect, one NPS site and one Office365 E1 and one Office365 Exchange email account)). You must license ServiceTitan from the third-party vendor (ServiceTitan, Inc.) and pay the associated license fees directly to the vendor (currently $200/technician). You must obtain the Technology Package from our designated supplier (currently us), sign a software license agreement for same in the form prescribed by us or such designated supplier (the current Software System User and Maintenance Agreement is attached as Exhibit K), and pay us or our designee (currently our affiliate ZorWare) initial enrollment fee (currently $1,250; see Item 5) and monthly support and maintenance fees (currently $68/month for the Technology Package; see Item 6). Additional Office365 Exchange email accounts are $4.50 per month, Office365 E1 email accounts are $10.50 per month, and Office365 E3 email accounts are $24.00 per month. For these fees, we provide maintenance on the Technology Package as provided in the Software System User and Maintenance Agreement (attached as Exhibit K); any maintenance on the ServiceTitan software is provided at ZorWare's then-current hourly rates (currently $125/hour), as provided in the Software System User and Maintenance Agreement.

We will provide you access to the Software System in its hosted environment (via Remote Desktop or access to a website) which is proprietary to our Software System. The Software System provides payroll automation, inventory tracking and management, customer and prospect tracking, scheduling, dispatching, point of sale invoicing interfaced with general ledger software, customer service history, sales analysis, reporting functions and our confidential operations set-up and menu pricing guide. We may update our Software System from time to time and require you to use different and/or additional proprietary and/or other software and you will be required to purchase/enter into software agreements/licenses for such software as we (or the third-party supplier) specify and you will be required to pay to us or the third-party supplier fees for such software. You must purchase one mobile device per technician or vehicle.

Currently, you must participate in an electronic system of reporting Gross Sales from the operation of your franchise through our Software System.

You may not at any time substitute any other software for the software we require. We will have independent access to the Software System and certain information in your Computer System, including sales and related data, and there are no contractual limitations on our right to access this information and data.

We will request from ServiceTitan, Inc. access to information that you input into the ServiceTitan system (the "system") or develop on the system in or with respect to accounts related to your franchised business, including, but not limited to customer data, transaction data and operational and financial data about your franchised business(es) (the "data").
