The right to bid is reserved for all sellers in this sale unless otherwise announced at time of sale. There is no warranty implied by auctioneer or consignor, except as set forth herein, as to the merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any animal offered in this sale. 2nd. BIDDING PROCEDURE. Unless waived by an announcement there shall be an upset price of $1000 on each yearling entering the sale ring. If an opening bid of the upset price is not immediately forthcoming to the auctioneer’s call, the animal shall be passed out of the ring as unsold with the consignor to pay the entry fee and commission. The highest bidder shall be the buyer. The successful bidder shall forthwith sign the Purchaser Acknowledgement form; should Purchaser Acknowledgement form not be presented to him for signature prior to commencement of bidding on the next lot offered, he shall immediately identify himself to the auctioneer as the purchaser and sign the Purchaser Acknowledgement Agreement when presented. In the event that the Consignor or his agent bids on his own animal, the Company shall be notified within 30 minutes of the conclusion of the sales session during which the particular animal was bid in. Right of purchase of a successful bidder is not impaired in the event another party signs the Purchaser Acknowledgement form, provided that such bidder acts in accordance with this condition of sale and Sale Condition 3rd (below). Hoosier Classic Sale Company LLC specifically reserves the right to exclude any persons whomsoever from the auction area and all premises controlled by the Company. In addition, notwithstanding any contrary provisions of these Terms and Conditions (if any), Hoosier Classic Sale Company LLC further reserves the right to refuse, to accept, to reject, or to ignore any bid(s) from any person whomsoever, even if credit has been approved if payment has been tendered or may be believed to be forthcoming. Neither exclusion of persons nor refusal, rejection, or ignoring of bids shall be based on race, sex, color, or creed. Each individual attending this auction agrees to be bound by this condition of sale. 3rd. DESIGNATION OF AGENCY. Persons acting as agents must file with the sales manager letters of authorization from their principal stating the agent is acting on their behalf. An individual who is the successful bidder for a horse and has not filed a letter of authorization with the Hoosier Classic Sale Company LLC becomes the purchaser of the horse, and shall be personally responsible for payment and all other conditions relating to purchasers. Because of inherent uncertainty, other representations of agency will not be recognized. 4th. BIDDING DISPUTES. Should any dispute arise between or among two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall forthwith adjudicate the dispute, and his decision shall be absolute, final and binding on all parties. Bids received after fall of the gavel are no grounds for dispute. Bids acknowledged by bid spotters engaged by the undersigned are recognized as if tendered to auctioneer, but in case of dispute the bidding on the horse may be re-opened for advance bids, and if there be no advance, the horse is sold to the person from whom the auctioneer recognized the last bid. In case of any dispute advance bidding shall be restricted to the contending parties, but should the recognized bid be reduced below the bid at commencement of dispute then the bidding is reopened to all bidders, regardless of whether or not final bid exceeds bid which was disputed. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any or all bids. 5th. TITLE, RISK AND DELIVERY. Title passes to purchaser at the fall of the auctioneer’s gavel, at which time all risk and responsibility for the animal is assumed by the purchaser. The purchaser or his agent may take care, custody and control of the animal at the fall of the auctioneer’s gavel, but such taking shall not constitute delivery of the animal. Delivery of animals will be made only after purchaser presents himself to the cashier to make settlement for the purchases. Settlement is to be made within 45 minutes of conclusion of the sale session in which the horse is sold. Provided purchaser makes satisfactory settlement a “release” form will be issued by the cashier entitling purchaser to remove horse or horses from the Sales Compound. Purchasers shall remove horses promptly after receiving Stable Release form. Feed, boarding and vanning charges will be assessed to the purchaser on all horses left in the sale barn. 6th. SETTLEMENT FOR HORSES. Pay the cashier in all cases. Payment to parties other than the cashier, (including consignors or their representatives) are not recognized as settlement. Purchasers are to make settlement satisfactory to the cashier within 45 minutes of the conclusion of the sale session in which they make a purchase. Settlement is to be for the full purchase price in the form of U.S. currency, approved bank check, wired funds or traveler checks; unless the financial responsibility of the purchaser has been approved in advance by the cashier. Purchasers who have had a prior credit with the Company must complete a credit application. The Company reserves the right to require a letter of guarantee from a purchaser’s bank. These documents must be made available to the Company no later than seven (7) days prior to the commencement of the sale.

Approval or disapproval of financial responsibility shall be within the sole discretion of Hoosier Classic Sale Company LLC and bidders are cautioned that approval at prior sales does not constitute approval for this sale. To avoid misunderstanding, purchasers must obtain approval of financial responsibility by the cashier prior to the sale. 7th. DEFAULT. Purchasers who fail in any respect to pay for horses as provided in Sale Condition 5th (above) may be declared in default. Any horse purchased by a defaulter may be resold by the undersigned at public or private sale, without notice, for the purchaser’s account, costs of such resale to be borne by the defaulter. Should such resale fail to satisfy the defaulter’s account in full, defaulter shall pay forthwith to Hoosier Classic Sale Company LLC the amount owed including finance charges set forth in Condition 6th (above) failing which Hoosier Classic Sale Company LLC may bring suit against the defaulter and should Hoosier Classic Sale Company LLC prevail, defaulter shall pay all reasonable attorney fees and costs of litigation. If a horse is put up for auction a second time, owing to the dereliction of a bidder, the horse will be sold by the auctioneer at his discretion and the derelict bidder will be liable for any shortfall in price between the first and second sale, and any other liabilities specified by law. In addition, prior to such second sale, the Hoosier Classic Sale Company LLC may require the derelict bidder to post the first purchase price as a security for the second sale. This procedure shall be followed for any additional subsequent sale of the horse. 8th. WARRANTIES, SOUNDNESS.
