3 Contract Ref.# ( ) Page 3 of 18 General Terms & Conditions of Form of Agreement 1. GENERAL a. Description of Service This contract is part of a comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for the Property and other areas specified in the appendix. The goal of IPM is to deliver effective pest control while at the same time reducing the volume and toxicity of pesticides used and human and environmental exposure to pesticides. IPM is a process for achieving long term, environmentally sound pest control through the use of a wide variety of technological and management practices. Control techniques in an IPM program include a combination of pest monitoring, good sanitation practices, education, appropriate solid waste management, Property maintenance, alternative physical, mechanical, and biological pest control, and the use of pesticides when warranted according to a predetermined hierarchy of pest management choices, formulations, and application techniques, which will minimize the exposure and potential risk to people and the environment. COMPANY shall furnish all supervision, labor, materials and equipment necessary to accomplish the surveillance, trapping, and pesticide application components of the IPM program as specified within this contract. COMPANY shall also provide detailed, site-specific recommendations for structural and procedural modifications necessary to achieve pest prevention. b. Pests Included and Excluded COMPANY shall adequately suppress indoor populations of pests covered in the appendix of the contract on page 7. Any other pest encountered will be considered as additional service to this agreement such as: Birds and snakes; Termites, ants nesting within structures and other wood-destroying organisms; Free flying insects originating out of doors and mold related insects; Wild cats and dogs; Pests that primarily feed on outdoor vegetation; Plants and animals within an agreed Building. c. Preliminary Inspection COMPANY has conducted a preliminary inspection of the property prior to submission of this agreement and given details of pest activity found, possible causes and recommended appropriate pest control plan.

It shall be Company s responsibility to carry out work according to the approved Pest Control Plan for each Property or site. Company shall receive the concurrence of the CR prior to implementing any subsequent changes to the approved Pest Control Plan. e. Pesticide Application Pesticide application shall be according to need and not by schedule. As a general rule, application of pesticides in any area inside or outside the premises shall not occur unless visual inspections or monitoring devices indicate the presence of pests in that specific area. Preventive pesticide treatments of areas determined to be at high risk for infestation by insects or rodents, through inspection at the onset of the program or as part of a maintenance program, are acceptable. These applications must be conducted in accordance with the pesticide use hierarchy found in section 2b INSECT CONTROL of this document. f.
