Numark Services, LLC Subcontractor Agreement

This agreement outlines important terms and conditions for all of your work for Numark Services (Contractor). These terms must be complied with by you, in consideration of your engagement to perform work on our jobs. These policies are an integral part of our contract with you.

1. Materials and Labor. Quality of workmanship and materials is of prime importance. Subcontractor shall deliver materials and/or furnish workmen satisfactory to Contractor in such a manner as not to delay the construction completion. All Subcontractor-supplied materials shall be of the quality specified and Subcontractor shall be responsible for proper storage and care of Subcontractor and Contractor’s materials in Subcontractor’s custody. This risk of loss for all materials supplied by Subcontractor shall rest with Subcontractor until properly installed. All work of the Subcontractor shall be performed in a good workmanlike manner in accordance with plans and specifications, meet all written quality standards, and must pass all applicable inspections and code requirements. All work and materials shall be subject to the satisfaction and acceptance of the Contractor, but such acceptance shall not discharge the obligation of the Subcontractor to supply satisfactory materials and/or work in the event defects are discovered at a later date.

2. Job Site Rules and Materials Handling and Storage. Material delivered to the job site shall be unloaded by Subcontractor in a safe and neat manner. All materials shall be placed only in the designated staging area determined by the Contractor’s job supervisor. Contractor accepts no responsibility for materials of Subcontractors delivered to or stored at the site. Any unloading by Contractor’s employees shall be subject to the sole discretion of Contractor’s job supervisor, and the labor costs shall be charged to the Subcontractor’s account. Subcontractor shall assume full responsibility for the protection of its materials. It shall be Subcontractor’s responsibility to keep the entire site clean at all times from rubbish and debris caused by Subcontractor(s) and its agents, subcontractors, material providers and employees. If this requirement is not met, Contractor may charge back Subcontractor for cleaning and trucking time. If temporary enclosures are needed to successfully execute the work, it is the responsibility of the Subcontractor to furnish all enclosures necessary for its Work.

3. Schedule. All jobs shall be run according to the Contractor’s Project Manager’s work schedule. Time is of the essence with regard to the Subcontractor’s performance, and the Subcontractor is expected to perform all work with an adequate crew size. It shall be the Subcontractor’s responsibility to keep the Contractor’s Project Manager informed as to required lead times so conflicts will not occur. If in Contractor’s reasonable opinion, Subcontractor is not complying with the Contractor’s Project Schedule, Contractor may require the Subcontractor to perform such overtime work at Subcontractor’s sole cost and expense as may be necessary to comply with the Project Schedule. In case the Work is delayed by Subcontractor’s failure and Contractor purchases materials, secures labor elsewhere and/or provides temporary enclosures, weather protection or heat, Subcontractor shall be charged and pay whatever loss, expenses or damage Contractor sustains because of such failure. All Subcontractors are to attend the progress meetings as called by Contractor or Owner’s representative.

4. Construction Drawings and Specifications. It is the responsibility of the Subcontractor to timely obtain the most recent set of construction drawings and construction specifications. Contractor may request shop drawings at any time during the design and/or construction process and expect the drawings to be produced by Subcontractor in a timely manner. All Subcontractors must provide notice of any “lead time” items and supply a preliminary Project Schedule satisfactory to Contractor within one week of execution of the Project Subcontract.

5. Warranty. If Contractor determines that Subcontractor’s materials and/or workmanship does not meet Contractor’s quality standards, then the Subcontractor shall replace the materials or correct the workmanship at the Subcontractor’s expense for at least 18 months from Owner’s acceptance of the Project. All manufacturers’ extended warranties, which are available to the Subcontractor on materials, or equipment shall be passed on directly from the Subcontractor to the Contractor or Owner as their interests lie. Customer Service and repair work is of the utmost importance to Contractor and Owners. All Subcontractors are expected to perform their own warranty service and repair work. Contractor’s Customer Service personnel will schedule all service appointments with the Owners and the Subcontractors. Subcontractors will be given advance notice for all scheduled Customer Service work. In the case of an emergency, same day service may be required. Subcontractor shall be properly staffed to perform Customer Service requirements.

Contractor provides all new homeowners with at least a significant warranty program. Subcontractor shall adhere to the same warranty as provided by Contractor. Failure of a Subcontractor to fulfill warranty requirements shall be grounds for default and/or termination of Subcontractor, allowing Contractor to complete the Work with another subcontractor and to backcharge for the cost to remedy Subcontractor’s defective Work.

6. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Subcontractor shall save, indemnify, and hold harmless the Contractor and its agents and employees, against all liabilities, claims, penalties/citations, judgments, or demands for damages to persons or property arising out of, resulting from, or otherwise in connection with performance of the Work, unless such claims or losses are caused solely by the Contractor. Subcontractor shall defend any and all claims or suits which may be brought or threatened against the Contractor in connection with Subcontractor’s Work and will pay on behalf of the Contractor any expenses which the Contractor incurs by reason of such claims (including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in defending or investigating such claims or actions). Such payments on behalf of the Contractor shall be in addition to any and all other legal remedies available to the Contractor and shall not be considered the Contractor's exclusive remedy against Subcontractor. Subcontractor further agrees that any amounts which have or may become due to Subcontractor under this Subcontract may be retained by Contractor and applied toward any indemnification which is due the Contractor pursuant to the terms of this indemnification agreement. Contractor may retain such amounts from the Subcontractor for any matter of which the Contractor has received notice of a claim involving subcontractor work, whether or not there is litigation pending at the time. It is further understood and agreed that this agreement is not in lieu of and shall not in any way impair or exclude the Contractor's rights to be indemnified and held harmless by the Subcontractor under any other agreement, any statute, or the common law, and all such rights shall be cumulative.

TO: All Project Managers & Sub-contractors RE: Storage of Flammables during construction and the use of halogen lighting

■ CAUTION – FLAMMABLE LIQUID

NOTICE: To ensure the health and well-being of our clients and fellow co-workers, Numark Services is mandating that all flammables/hazardous materials be stored in the following manner: • Flammable/hazardous materials kept on-site during the course of regular work day must be stored in a certified cabinet provided by the sub-contractor • ALL flammable/hazardous materials must be stored outside of construction projects when not in-use and/or after normal working hours and weekends. • Solvent soaked rags must be removed from the project site daily. • Wood dust and shavings must be cleaned up and removed from the project site daily. Failure to meet these requirements will result in immediate dismissal of the subcontractor. Numark Services will not bear the risk of potential danger due to non-compliance.

NOTICE TO ALL TRADES Regarding: Lead-Safe Renovator Certification

Starting on April 22nd of 2010, the EPA instituted federal regulations regarding work in homes and other child-occupied structures which were built prior to

1978. Highlights of the regulations are as follows: • Pre-1978 homes are likely to have used lead-based paints. • These homeowners need to be presented with an EPA lead pamphlet notifying them of the dangers of lead, and need to sign an acknowledgement. • Testing may be required to confirm the presence or lack of lead in the work area. • Work areas need to be contained and cleaned during construction to the EPA standards. • Post-construction clean-up requires HEPA equipment and extensive verification and documentation of all architectural surfaces within the work area. • One certified individual is responsible for compliance and recordkeeping on the project, but all workers entering the contained work areas are required to be certified or trained individuals. • Besides individual certification, your company must apply for EPA certification to conduct lead-safe renovations.

Numark Services does a significant amount of work in older homes, and with the slow new-home market, we are likely to continue taking a lot of remodeling work. We currently have certified individuals on staff to manage regulated projects. Because we can only use certified contractors on these projects, it will be in your best interest to have a key person in your company certified and to train other employees in-house as needed. Unless your company is certified, we will not be able to consider you for work on these projects. Below are some resources to help you get started with your certification process. • EPA web site: www.epa.gov/lead • Michigan OCH - Healthy Homes: www.michigan.gov/leadsafe • HUD Healthy Homes: www.hud.gov/lead

We appreciate your cooperation as we continue to work in this ever-changing construction industry. Please contact us with any questions you may have regarding these requirements.

Sincerely,

Numark Services, LLC Project Management / Safety
