NOTES:

(1) Currently FM does not have an approved standard for 7/16" orifice heads.
    Because of very low demand, Central does not offer a 3/8" GBQR.

(2) The GBEC sprinkler is currently being tested at FM

(3) FM minimum pressure requirements for Extended Coverage do not allow Approval
    of a direct replacement for a UL Listed head in all applications.

(4) FM does not approve mounting heights below 12"

(5) For those owners that choose to do so, Central will offer the Model GB4-FR
    even though it does not have the on-off capacity. The GB4-FR sprinkler is
    currently being tested at FM.

(6) For those owners that choose to do so, Central will offer the Model GBQR,
    however it is not designed for institutional installation.

                                   APPENDIX C

Obligations of Central:

1.  In order to defray the cost to owners of Omega fire sprinklers of removing
    and replacing those sprinklers, Central Sprinkler Corporation and Central
    Sprinkler Company (collectively, "Central") shall deposit $8,800,000 into an
    interest-bearing irrevocable trust account for the benefit of Omega owners
    who participate in the remediation program as outlined in the Consent
    Agreement and Order (the "Trust"). Central shall have no interest, whether
    legal, equitable or otherwise, in the funds in the Trust, and no amounts in
    the Trust shall ever be paid to, for the benefit of, or revert back to
    Central. The Trust shall be created solely for the purpose of providing
    Omega owners with a contribution towards the costs of removal and
    replacement of their Omega sprinklers ("Replacement Contribution"). All
    expenses of the Trust, including but not limited to compensation and
    indemnification of the Trustee, will be paid from the corpus of the Trust.
    The funds shall be deposited into the Trust as follows:

    a. Central shall deposit $2,200,000 into the Trust within one day of the
       date of entry of the Commission's Order.

    b. Central shall deposit an additional $2,200,000 into the Trust on the
       first, second, and third anniversaries of the Effective Date of the
       Commission's Order.

    c. Central shall also deposit into the Trust a portion of all proceeds,
       including punitive and treble damages, from claims and lawsuits against
       its insurers or other third parties relating to Omega sprinklers,
       regardless of whether such proceeds are paid directly to Central, its
       attorneys, agents and/or other representatives (the "Proceeds").
       (Central's claims and lawsuits against its insurers or other third
       parties relating to Omega sprinklers are hereinafter referred to as the
       "Claims.") The Proceeds shall not include any amounts received by Central
       in reimbursement or compensation for actions filed or claims made against
       it by persons and/or entities who sustained property damage, personal
       injury or death as a result of the premature activation of Omega
       sprinkler(s), or the inactivation of Omega sprinkler(s) in a fire. The
       Proceeds shall be distributed as follows:

       i. Central shall retain for itself Proceeds equal to the amount it spends
          in reasonable costs and attorneys' fees to defend itself against
          civil lawsuits



                                       
<PAGE>


          filed against it by persons, non-governmental entities, or
          governmental entities in their proprietary capacity as building owners
          or operators, relating to Omega sprinklers, but not claiming personal
          injury, property damage and/or death as a result of the premature
          activation of Omega sprinkler(s) or the inactivation of Omega
          sprinkler(s) in a fire.

      ii. Central shall deposit into the Trust 50% of the Proceeds in excess of
          the amount stated in Paragraph i above, up to the amount of Central's
          contributions to the Trust pursuant to Paragraphs 1.a, 1.b, and 2 of
          this Appendix.

     iii. Central shall deposit into the Trust 70% of all Proceeds in excess
          of the amounts stated in Paragraphs i and ii above.

    All interest from the Trust shall be placed into the Trust for distribution
    to Omega owners with other amounts in the Trust. The Trust agreement shall
    be in a form approved by the staff. The Trust shall remain in effect until
    the expiration or final determination of all Claims, and the final
    distribution of all funds in the Trust.

2.  By November 30, 2001, Central shall make an additional deposit into the
    Trust based on the total number of Replacement Sprinklers needed to fulfill
    the Proofs of Claim submitted pursuant to Paragraphs 5 and 6 below. In
    calculating the total number of sprinklers, Central shall include not only
    Replacement Sprinklers, but also Omega sprinklers for which Central must
    make payment pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Consent Order. Specifically,
    Central shall make this additional deposit as follows:

    Trust in an amount equal to the difference between $37.3 million and the sum

       to owners of Omega sprinklers;

       Appendix;

       Central Sprinkler Corp., et al., Case No. BC176727, pending in California
       Superior Court, Los Angeles County, or (ii) $1.6 million, whichever is

<PAGE>


    e. An amount equal to (i) the actual cost of administering the remediation
       program under this Consent Agreement and Order, or (ii) $3.0 million,

       judgments or settlements obtained by, parties who do not participate in
       and/or choose to exclude themselves from the remediation program under
       this Consent Agreement and Order and/or the class action settlement
       referenced in Paragraph 3.d of this Appendix, including a reasonable
       amount to address litigation by such persons that is pending as of
       November 1, 2002, less Proceeds received on account of such claims or
       suits. The amount reserved to address such pending litigation must be
       approved by the staff, but shall not exceed 20% of the amount spent by
       Central on all such litigation between the effective date of this Order
       and November 1, 2002.

4.  Beginning 3 months after the Effective Date of the Commission's Order, and
    for every 3 months thereafter until the expiration of 48 months or until the
    expiration or final determination of the Claims, whichever is later, Central
    shall provide the Commission staff with progress reports, in a format
    approved by the Commission staff, regarding (a) the number of persons who
    have contacted Central to make a claim; (b) the number of Proofs of Claim
    that have been submitted and the number of sprinklers represented in those
    Proofs of Claim; and (c) the status of the Claims described in Paragraph 1.c
    above. This report shall also include current bank statements for the
    Trust. At the request of the Commission staff, Central shall provide to the
    staff the names of all persons who have contacted Central to make a claim
    and/or who have submitted a Proof of Claim.

Obligations of Omega Owners:

5.  Omega owners who submit to Central a Proof of Claim form and a Waiver and
    Release of Claims form postmarked by August 1, 1999, substantially in the
    forms attached to this Appendix, will receive free Replacement Sprinklers
    and Parts, as well as an initial and any supplemental Replacement
    Contributions from the Trust.

    To receive payment from the Trust, owners of Omega sprinklers must also
    submit to Central a Verification, substantially in the form attached to this
    Appendix, within 365 days after receiving Replacement Sprinklers and Parts.
    The Verification shall state under penalty of perjury the number of Omega
    sprinklers that the owner actually has replaced in the owner's building(s).
    The Verification also shall be accompanied by a



                                       4

<PAGE>



    work order, bill, receipt, or other documentation from the person or Company
    replacing the sprinklers, establishing the number of Omega sprinklers that
    have been replaced. Failure to timely submit a Verification and supporting
    documentation will disqualify an Omega owner from receiving any payment from
    the Trust, unless the delay in submitting the Verification is caused by an
    act or omission on the part of Central.

6.  Omega owners who submit to Central a Proof of Claim form and a Waiver and
    Release of Claim form postmarked after August 1, 1999, but no later than
    November 1, 2001, substantially in the form attached to this Appendix, will
    receive free Replacement Sprinklers and Parts, but will not be eligible to
    receive contributions from the Trust, unless their delay in submitting a
    Proof of Claim form and/or Waiver and Release of Claims form is caused by an
    act or omission on the part of Central. Omega owners whose delay in
    submitting a Proof of Claim form and/or Waiver and Release form is caused
    by an act or omission on the part of Central will be entitled to
    distributions from the Trust, as if their Proof of Claim form and/or Waiver
    and Release of Claims form had been timely submitted.

Distribution Plans

7.  By October 15, 1999, Central shall provide the Commission staff with a
    proposed plan of distribution ("Initial Distribution Plan") of the Trust to
    all Omega owners who meet the requirements specified in Paragraph 5 above.
    The Distribution Plan shall be consistent with Paragraphs 1 and 2 (and 3, if
    applicable) of this Appendix, and shall be designed to compensate Omega
    owners for replacement labor costs and to motivate participation in this
    remediation program. The Distribution Plan shall include: (a) the total
    funds to be distributed; (b) the timetable by which the funds will be
    distributed; and, (c) the apportionment of the Trust funds among the
    eligible Omega owners. The Distribution Plan must be approved by the
    Commission staff. In no event, and under no circumstances, may any amounts
    in the Trust be paid or revert back to Central. If the Commission staff does
    not approve the Distribution Plan, the staff shall notify Central within 45
    days of receiving the Distribution Plan and shall submit to Central its
    proposed plan of distribution. If the parties cannot agree to a plan of
    distribution, the parties will submit competing plans to the Commission for
    resolution. The Commission's decision shall be final and binding upon the
    parties and cannot be appealed.

8.  By December 31, 2001, Central shall prepare a First Supplemental
    Distribution Plan with respect to all remaining amounts in the Trust. The
    First Supplemental Distribution Plan shall be subject to the same
    requirements and procedures as the Initial Distribution



                                       5

<PAGE>


    Plan specified in Paragraph 7 above. To the extent that any or all of an
    Omega owner's claim for distributions from the Trust is forfeited because
    of the owner's failure to submit the Release and/or Verification required by
    Paragraph 5 above, the full amount of such forfeiture shall be apportioned
    among owners who have complied with all requirements specified in Paragraph
    5 above.

9.  By November 30, 2002, Central shall prepare a Second Supplemental
    Distribution Plan with respect to all remaining amounts in the Trust. The
    Second Supplemental Distribution Plan shall be subject to the same
    requirements and procedures as the Initial Distribution Plan specified in
    Paragraph 7 above. To the extent that any or all of an Omega owner's claim
    for distributions from the Trust is forfeited because of the owner's failure
    to submit the Release and/or Verification required by Paragraph 5 above, the
    full amount of such forfeiture shall be apportioned among owners who have
    complied with all requirements specified in Paragraph 5 above.

10. Within 30 days after the expiration or final determination of the Claims,
    Central shall provide to the Commission staff a proposed supplemental plan
    of distribution ("Proceeds Distribution Plan") for distribution of the
    Proceeds to all Omega owners who meet the requirements specified in
    Paragraph 5 above. The Proceeds Distribution Plan shall be subject to the
    same requirements and procedures as the Initial Distribution Plan specified
    in Paragraph 7 above.

                           WAIVER AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS
                           ----------------------------

        In exchange for Central's (1) providing a Glass Bulb sprinkler
containing a Belleville-Type Washer Seal to replace each Omega sprinkler owned
by the undersigned ("Replacement Sprinkler"); (2) providing a replacement
escutcheon, extension and any and all fittings, fixtures and/or appurtenances
necessary for the proper replacement of each Omega with a Replacement Sprinkler
("Replacement Parts"), or (3) providing $5.00 for each Omega sprinkler in lieu
of (1) and (2) above; and (4) creating and making required contributions to a
Trust Fund in which the undersigned has agreed as follows:

       1.   The undersigned, on behalf of him or herself, and any person
claiming through him or her as his or her heir, administrator, devisee,
predecessor, successor, representative of any kind, shareholder, partner,
director, owner, affiliate, subrogee, assignee or insurer (the "Releasing
Party") shall be deemed to and does hereby release and forever discharge Central
Sprinkler Co. and Central Sprinkler Corp., including its predecessors,
successors, subsidiaries, affiliates and any and all of their past, present and
future officers, directors, stockholders, partners, agents, servants,
successors, subrogees and assigns and their respective insurers and persons or
entities in the chain of distribution of Omega sprinklers ("Releasees"), of and
from any and all claims of any type or description that relate to or arise from
the purchase, installation, presence or use of Omega sprinklers, including but
not limited to any claims for actual, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages relating to the inspection and replacement of Omega sprinklers other
than the obligations resulting from or created by this Remediation Program, that
such Releasing Parties have or may have whether known or unknown that arise from
the Actions (the "Released

<PAGE>

Claims"). However, no release is being given by a Releasing Party for 
compensatory damages arising from fire damage, property damage, personal injury 
or wrongful death associated with the failure or alleged failure of an Omega
sprinkler to perform as intended, designed or expected in a fire or premature
activation of an Omega sprinkler. Release is being given for punitive damages
for such claims.

        2.  The Releasing Parties, and each of them, expressly waive the
provisions of Section 1542 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (and all
other like provisions of law), which provides:

          A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release,
which if unknown to him must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor.

Unknown claims for compensatory damages arising from fire damage, property
damage, personal injury or wrongful death associated with the failure of an 
Omega sprinkler to perform as intended, designed or expected in a fire or
premature activation of an Omega sprinkler are not released hereby. Release is
being given for punitive damages for such claims.

        3. The parties intend that the Releasees obtain in this Settlement
satisfaction and protection from any liability arising from the claims described
herein and from any claims for contribution or indemnity asserted by any person
arising from such claims. The parties further intend to obviate the necessity
and expense to the Releasees of appearing and defending any action commenced by
the Releasing Party asserting claims relating to the purchase and installation
of Omega-series fire sprinklers against any other person.



                                      -2-

<PAGE>

        4. The undersigned agrees to take the following steps to bar, discharge 
and release any liability on the part of the Releasees to any other person for 
contribution and/or indemnity arising from the claims that are the subject
of this Release.

         The Releasing Party shall reduce any judgment he, she or it obtains
         against any person by the amount, percentage or share of such judgment
         attributable to Central, so as to bar, discharge and release under
         applicable law any claims for contribution and/or indemnity against
         Central arising from or related to the claims that are the subject of
         this Release. In the event that any Releasing Party obtains a judgment
         (including pursuant to a settlement agreement) against one or more
         persons and any of those persons obtains a judgment against Central, in
         whole or in part for contribution or indemnity, then such Releasing
         Party will be required to reduce or remit any judgment or portion
         thereof obtained by those persons by the amount of the judgment against
         Central.
