Welcome Wireless Water Leak Detection & Monitoring For HOAs

The Problem • Water damage is the #1 cause of insurance claims ▫ Larger than fire and theft combined • Total water damage claims in US equal $8-10 billion/yr. ▫ Fireman’s Fund (Allianz) had over $600 million in water damage claims in 2009 ▫ Mold can add 10x to claim ▫ Leaks happen 24/7 Almost EVERY building has/will have leaks

Insures Say: • “Water is the Enemy.” John Ward, Woodruff Sawyer (insurance broker) • “ Water damage is the leading cause of property damages. It is bigger than fire and theft combined.” Cesar Valencia, Regional VP, Chubb Insurance • “90% of my clients’ claims are for water damage.” • “ALL of our high rises have had water damage,” Don-nae Leyva, Barney & Barney (broker) • “ If clients have multiple water damage claims, they can be dropped or go into a high risk pool. Either way, premiums go way up.” Skip Rawstron, Rawstron Insurance Services (industry consultant)

High Risk Areas for Damage • Toilets • Vanity Cabinet Sinks • Washing Machines • Hot Water Heater • Refrigerator water lines • Dishwashers • Kitchen sink cabinet • A/C Condensate pan • Radiator pan • Wet bar • Basement Sump Pump

What should be done? • Understand where water damages begins ▫ Wear and tear over time ▫ Water pressure issues ▫ User Error • Identify potential areas of risk in your building • Regular maintenance and inspection ▫ Inspect all water related appliances for worn or damages hoses at least once a year ▫ Replace any suspect hoses before they become a major issue • Monitoring of water bills for abnormalities • Use water detection devices ▫ Water detection is easy to install and cost effective ▫ Automatic shut off valves

Value Proposition • Early Detection Dramatically Reduces Costs ▫ Direct Loss Due to Flood ▫ Indirect Loss from Occupant Disruption ▫ Long- Term Negative Effects on Asset (Mold etc…) ▫ Possible Credit Discount Toward Insurance Premiums • Economical Service w/ Strong ROI ▫ Low Initial Setup; Low Monthly Service Fee ▫ Less than 12 Month Payback • Easy installation ▫ No horizontal wiring ▫ Easy to add on to existing system • Proven Effective Technology ▫ Preventing Floods Daily for 7 Years with no lost Customers ▫ Over 15,000 Sensor Installed in nearly 200 Buildings

2 MESSAGE The Solution TRANSMITTED TO Immediately Alerts 3 TDG CLOUD Security, Management Via SERVICE Wireless Sensors Installed in 1 the Building in Leak-Prone Voice Areas A Water Alarm has been Detected! Location:9th Floor Suite 900 kitchen sink Time:Mar 24 2014 2:17PM E-Mail LEAK 4 Web Portal – Tracking DETECTED and Reporting

System Components The main system consists of Sensors linked to a Base Station connected to the Detection Portal. • Main System: ▫ Water Sensor ▫ Base Station ▫ Web Management Portal • Additional Products: ▫ Signal Repeaters (for longer distance) ▫ Shut-off valves ▫ Sensor Extensions – Tape, Leads

How it works… 1 Wireless Sensors Installed Throughout the Building 3 Immediately Alerts Security, Wherever a Leak is Likely to Management Via Voice, E-Mail, & Occur Text 2 Connected 24x7x365 to TDG’s Hosted Monitoring Application 4 Web-Based Management Portal. Always On and Working

Web Portal

Automatic Water Shut-Off Valve Systems • Features: ▫ Shut water off from one or many sensors ▫ ½” to 2” diameter ▫ Water Shutoff During Alarm ▫ Manual Open/Close ▫ Auto Cycle ▫ All actions time-recorded at server

Success Stories • The Metropolitan Condominiums ▫ A water heater ruptured in the middle of the night. The Detection system woke up the homeowner who was able to turn the water off immediately. Security simultaneously responded at the unit front door to assist. No claim was necessary. • Scripps Health Care Corporate Offices ▫ At 5PM on the 4th of July the Chief Engineer was notified by phone of flood in kitchen and was able to contain the leak from the HVAC system. No one would have been in the building for 2 days. 12

Royal Towers, San Francisco • Iconic residential building at the top of Russian Hill in San Francisco • Installed TDG system in May 2011 • 30 leaks have been caught in <3years! ▫ Reducing insurance claims ▫ Reducing maintenance costs (not covered) ▫ Improving building operations
