Items for sale are sold “AS IS, WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” Bidders are encouraged to inspect the items being sold at this Auction (“Assets”) in-person, by appointment. There are no warranties, contingencies, or guarantees of any kind, either written or implied. Asset descriptions are believed to be accurate, but additional information can arise regarding any and all items being sold during the Auction. New information takes precedence and shall not be deemed grounds for bid cancellation or any other claims by a Bidder. Bidders with questions regarding an item, its history or condition that are not answered by the lot description, should contact Auctioneer for further information. REMOVAL: RIGGING AND REMOVAL IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNING BIDDER (“Buyer”), by appointment only, in cooperation with the Asset owner. Buyer and/or anyone acting on Buyer’s behalf that removes equipment from the Asset site is required to have a valid certificate of insurance with adequate coverage for general liability and workman’s compensation valid in the states where the Assets are located. Limits required are: $2,000,000 USD general liability, $1,000,000 USD workers’ compensation and $1,000,000 USD motor vehicle coverage. The equipment must be removed by authorized riggers and contractors only. Any hydraulic fluid removal and/or oil leaks occurring during removal are Buyer’s responsibility to remove. Buyer and/or anyone acting on its behalf must take full responsibility for compliance with all applicable laws and exercise all reasonable care to ensure that there is no release to the environment of any hazardous wastes or substances as defined in applicable federal, state, and local statutes, regulations, rules and ordinances. ALL ITEMS MUST BE REMOVED WITHIN 14 DAYS OR THEY SHALL BE DEEMED ABANDONED unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in-writing by the Buyer and Auctioneer. TAXES: In most cases, Auctioneer will be required to charge sales tax on Buyer’s Auction purchases. However, Buyer may be able to provide a resale or manufacturing tax exemption certificate in order to have the tax removed from Buyer’s purchase. If applicable, Auctioneer requires that Buyer fill out the appropriate forms and provide them to Auctioneer before Auctioneer will consider Buyer’s invoice paid in full. This is required for each invoice. Upon request, Auctioneer can provide tax-exemption forms for upcoming auctions. Tax-emption forms will also be available at the Auction site. REFUNDS: All sales are final. Deposits made by unsuccessful Bidders shall be refunded within two business days. BUYER’S PREMIUM: IN ADDITION TO THE WINNING BID AMOUNT (“Purchase Price”), AUCTIONEER SHALL CHARGE AND COLLECT FROM EACH SUCCESSFUL BIDDER/BUYER AN 20% AUCTION FEE/BUYER’S PREMIUM. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Auctioneer, payment in full is due within 2 calendar days of the Auction date. BIDDING: As a Bidder, placing a bid is a binding offer between Bidder and Seller and the bid cannot be retracted or withdrawn once placed. Once Bidder places a bid, if that bid is the winning bid, Bidder will be obligated to purchase the Asset at the price indicated in the winning bid, subject to these terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all bids are subject to Seller’s final approval and no equipment shall be deemed to be sold in accordance with UCC §2-328 until approved by Seller. Auctioneer and Seller reserve the right to refuse any Bidder the privilege of bidding or attending the Auction or other sale event, and may revoke such privilege at any time. RIGHTS RESERVED: Auctioneer reserves the right, to withdraw any Asset before or at the time of the Auction, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any Assets or parts thereof, for any reason. Auctioneer shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal or postponement under any circumstances. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION: This Auction and the terms and conditions set forth herein are being made in and shall be construed and enforced under the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard for conflicts of law principles.

AUCTIONEER’S REMEDIES: Failure of a Bidder to comply with any of these Terms and Conditions or any other aspect of the Auction is an event of default. In such event, Auctioneer may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by Bidder as damages (Bidder understands and acknowledges that Auctioneer will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate Auctioneer for such damages); (b) resell the Assets in any manner in which Auctioneer or Seller choose, including but not limited to without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that Auctioneer, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect Auctioneer’s rights and remedies.

In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, Auctioneer shall apply the payment received for such lot or lots that Auctioneer, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If Auctioneer does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: EACH BIDDER HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, REGARDLESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AUCTIONEER’S CUMULATIVE MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO A BIDDER, BUYER OR BUYER’S REPRESENTATIVES FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER TO THE ASSETS, THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) FAILURE TO DELIVER ANY PURCHASED ASSET, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE AND BUYER’S PREMIUM ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY AUCTIONEER FOR THE PURCHASED ASSETS. IN NO EVENT SHALL AUCTIONEER BE LIABLE TO BIDDERS AND/OR BUYER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND WHATSOEVER INCURRED OR EXPERIENCED BY ANY BIDDER, BUYER OR BUYER REPRESENTATIVE.
