The Cab Silencer attaches directly to a vehicle or piece of machinery to silence the Personal Alarm Device (PAD) of the operator of the industrial equipment. 1.1 Theory of Operation The function of the Cab Silencer is: To transmit a 73 kHz magnetic field around a small portion in the vehicle or piece of machinery to act as a silent zone for the operator while conducting work on the industrial equipment. The Cab Silencer has an internal 73 kHz transmitter comprised of an inductor that creates a magnetic field with a specific pattern to serve as a small silent zone in the vehicle or machine. When a Personal Alarm Device (PAD) is within 21 inches of the Cab Silencer, the PAD will detect the 73 kHz magnetic field from the Cab Silencer and analyze its field strength. When a PAD is in the marker field of the Cab Silencer, the PAD will not respond to generators pings. The Cab Silencer needs to be located ithi a adius to an operator’s PAD and about 4 feet away from the Generator. Preferably, place the cab silencer on the back of the seat or under the arm rest on the right side. 1.2 Operating Frequency The Cab Silencer will transmit on a frequency of 73 kHz. 1.3 Label Information The Cab Silencer label, shown below, is located around the housing.

The Cab Silencer also complies with Industry Canada (IC) under Category II radio apparatus with RSS-210: HIT-NOT® Cab Silencer Model: DDAC-CAB-SI IC ID: 11625A-DDACCBS US7,420,471; US8,169,335; US8,232,888; US5,939,986; US6,810,353; US8,446,277; US8,552,882; US8,710,979; US8,810,390; US8,847,780; US9,081,046; US9,153,118; AU2005289704; AU2008316786; AU2009228472; AU2010241545; AU2013315672; ZA2007/02919; ZA2008/02673; ZA2010/06816, ZA2010/09068; ZA2011/07178 Patent Pending Page |5 Exhibit 9 Operation 2.1 Installation Information The Cab Silencer is mounted in the cab of a piece of machinery, o the a k of the ope ato ’s seat or under the right arm rest. The pu pose of the Ca “ile e is to uiet the Ope ato ’s PAD hile d i i g the e uip e t. The Ca “ile e ust e ithi a adius of the Ope ato ’s PAD AND 4 feet away from the Magnetic Field Generator. The Generator has an optional addon Module, Collision Avoidance Module (CAM), which may be silenced by the Cab Silencer if they are less than 4 feet apart. Installation on the machine needs to be on a 12V source, downstream from the ignition. An LED light in the end cap of the Cab Silencer will indicate that the device has power. After installing the Magnetic Field Generator system and the CAB Silencer on the machine, performance of the unit should be verified by operation and test. 2.1.1 Inoperability Warning The Cab Silencer may blind the optional add-on Collision Avoidance Module (CAM) when in very close proximity. A safe guideline is to keep the Cab Silencer at least 4 ft (1.2 m) away from the CAM installed in the Magnetic Field Generator. The purpose of the CAM is to sense the magnetic field from a Generator on another piece of equipment. If the Cab Silencer is closer than 4 ft (1.2 m) from the CAM, it may cause the CAM to be blinded and unable to sense a othe ehi le’s kHz signal. A collision between vehicles would be possible. 2.2 Charging The Cab Silencer is directly powered when the ignition of the vehicle is turned on and requires no charging. 2.3 Alerts Cab Silencers are designed to accommodate high input voltage up to about 16V and maintain the original silencing zone size. If the truck supply voltage changes or changes occur resulting in a reduction of zone sizes, the system will accommodate voltage range 11.8 to 16 V and ensure that the zones remain where they were initially set. If a pedestrian with a PAD approaches equipment with a Magnetic Field Generator system, thei PAD ould e sile ed if the a e ithi the adius of the Ca “ile e . A da ge presents itself he the d i e e gages the e uip e t hile the pedest ia is ithi the radius. The pedestrian is in danger of being hit by the equipment if their PAD is too close the Cab Silencer. The operator needs to turn off the truck while anyone is in place next to the equipment and restart only after the person moves away. It is required that after installation, the silencing field outside the vehicle must be at a very minimum that will not endanger someone. A PAD outside the vehicle should not be silenced. You may need to move the cab silencer to a more convenient location or adjust the pot near the LED for a smaller field.

The user should check to see if the light in the end cap is working before using the device. 2.5 Adjustments Field size is an adjustment which is made on the Cab Silencer. To make the adjustment, unscrew the end cap. To adjust the field size, turn the screw located on the PWM pot with a small slotted screwdriver. Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the silencing zone, while turning counterclockwise will decrease the field. The fa to setti g is at as measured on the side a i u is . Adjustments must be made by a professional. 2.6 Interferences The Cab Silencer may interfere with a Generator with an installed CAM. If the Magnetic Field Generator and the Cab Silencer are less than 4 ft apart, the detection by the CAM may be degraded, reducing its effectiveness in detecting Generator pings emanating from another vehicle. 2.7 Cab Silencer Specifications Part Number: DDAC-CAB-SI Size: 1 ¼” diameter x 8” length/ 3.175 cm x 20.32 cm Weight: 0.35 lbs./ 0.159 kg Input Voltage: 12 VDC Magnetic Field Frequency: 73 kHz AC field.

Nothing in this Section shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction or exercising any self-help remedies, whether before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. The parties agree that taking any such action does not waive any right that either party has to demand arbitration at any time with respect to subsequent or amended disputes claimed or filed against a party after commencement of litigation. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ALL PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO A JURY OR COURT TRIAL. If any provision of this dispute resolution procedure is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and shall not be affected by the invalidity of any other provision. By tapping "Accept", you again agree and confirm that you have read and understood these Terms of Service and the Disclaimer. Accept V. Entire Agreement; Assignment; Miscellaneous. These Terms constitute the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between You and us. It supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreement, oral or written, and any other communications, representations, warranties and understanding relating to the subject matter hereof. If there is a conflict between an oral or written representation of any FEP employee or agent, or any Dealer or Distributor employee or agent, and these Terms, these Terms will prevail. These Terms will prevail over other rules and policies on the System. Our failure to enforce any provision of these terms shall not be deemed either a waiver of such provision or a waiver of the right to enforce such provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then such provision shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties and the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The provision of these Terms which, by their terms should survive termination or expiration of these Terms, shall survive the termination or expiration hereof. FEP may assign this Agreement to any other entity of its choosing, with or without notice to You. You may not assign these Terms to any other party without the prior written consent of FEP. FEP shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies unless such waiver is in writing and signed by FEP. No delay or omission on the part of FEP in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies on future occasions. The section titles in these Terms are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.
