3 Product Dealer Policies CREDIT AND TERMS Products The following policies apply to Crary Industries, Inc. products (Air Reel, Crary Wind System, Big Top, Cyclone Chaff Spreader or GOLD N CUT) and exclude all Crary Tile Pro products. Credit Limits Limits are established per dealer based upon: Information provided and verified from the credit application Credit needed from order activity, open orders Payment history with company Terms Unless otherwise specified, invoices carry an additional discount available for payment within 10 days of the invoice date. Payments received after this date will not receive the cash discount allowance. Unless otherwise specified, the final due-date for an invoice is 30 days after invoice date. Invoices not paid before that date are subject to service charges. If an invoice is anticipated to be credited because of warranty, or the application of other credits (i.e. returns, co-op advertising), notification must be made to Accounts Receivable prior to the due date in order to avoid service charges. Floor Plan Program Crary offers floor planning options through GE Finance. There are no special terms other than what is provided in the program, unless provided in advance and in writing from Crary Industries, Inc.. For terms on GE Finance refer to Dealer Pricing & Programs. DISCOUNTS Multiple Discounts Discounts are applied one at a time. Each additional discount applied to the new value as a result of the previously applied discount. For example: a 20% trade, 5% early ship, and 3% cash WOULD NOT equal a 28% discount. If the item had a list price of $100, the discounts would be applied as follows: $100 minus 20% = $80.00 minus 5% = $76.00 minus 3% = $ Trade Discounts The standard trade discount for whole goods is 20%. Higher discounts for some product lines may be established based on the participation of published ordering programs. Standard trade discount for parts is 25%. Published parts programs are often available extending terms, additional discounts, and offering freight incentives. Whole goods are typically characterized in price sheets with the description of whole goods, system, options or attachments. Parts are typically characterized as parts, kits or accessories. Early Ship Discounts Additional discounts are offered for meeting a targeted date for receipt of the products ordered. If for any reason the dealers fail to take delivery or pick up the order before that ship date, the early ship discount is forfeited. The only time the discount availability is extended is if Crary cannot provide the products on time. In that case, the early-ship discount is extended to the first available date for the product(s). Cash Discounts Unless otherwise specified, invoices carry an additional 3% discount available for payment within 10 days of the invoice date. Payments received after this date will not receive the cash discount allowance

4 MARKETING Point of purchase Crary, at its discretion, will provide various points of purchase displays to promote Crary products. The dealer should keep displays in good condition, and not alter them without permission from Crary. Print, Radio, other Media Pricing: Any advertising that uses the Crary name, or Crary product names (Air Reel, Crary Wind System, Big Top, Cyclone Chaff Spreader or GOLD N CUT) is subject to Crary approval. However, any prices that are associated with the Crary name or Crary product names must be within plus or minus 10% of the Crary suggested retail price for that product, unless specific permission has been received from Crary Industries, Inc.. Exception: Used equipment may be advertised with appropriate prices without specific permission. Ad materials: Testimonial sheets, and other materials are available for dealer use. Please ask Territory Manager or call the company for these materials. CO-OP Advertising We encourage dealers to participate in local and regional advertising for Crary products. Crary will participate in the ad cost via credit to the dealer s account under the following conditions: Reimbursement Allowance: A 50% credit will be allowed on properly prepared Crary advertising. Eligible Advertising and Products: Ads are limited to current Crary AG and Marine products and may consist of Crary supplied materials. To qualify for Co-op funds, all ads must be presented to and preapproved by Crary s marketing department prior to placement. Dealer Grouping: Multi-dealer sponsored advertising is eligible for co-op credit. Dealers involved will share their portion of the space cost. Individual credits will be issued to each participating dealer. Advertising Limits: Unless specifically authorized otherwise, dealer is limited to a co-op participation no greater than 4% of the dealer s total purchases from Crary in the current year. Procedures for Credit: All requests for credit must be submitted on a Co-op Advertising Claim form. Claims must be mailed and postmarked within 30 days after the eligible advertising has appeared. List each type of advertising and attach copies of paid invoices and proof of performance as described below: For newspaper and magazine advertising: Include one full page, dated tear sheet and a copy of the invoice from the publication showing your net costs of space only. For radio and television advertising: Submit a paid station invoice stating the commercial involved, length of the commercial and times the commercial was run. One copy of the written commercial(s) or a description of the commercial(s), such as pre-recorded tapes must be included. Ineligible Advertisements and Charges: Locally prepared advertisements are eligible for credit on space and time charges only. Crary will not share any creative or production charges for print or electronic media advertising. Credit for advertising that includes equipment other than Crary will be prorated to the percentage of Crary participation. SALESPERSON SPIFFS As an extra incentive, we often offer spiffs or additional payments to sales people in the dealership that retail Air Reels, Crary Wind Systems (CWS), Big Top s, Cyclone Chaff Spreaders and GOLD n CUT/KingKut complete systems. These spiffs are paid only to individuals, and are not available as credits or refunds to the dealership. Spiff cards and amounts can be obtained from a Territory Manager or by calling Crary sales department. The spiffs are obtained under the following conditions: Dealer management or principal must approve the eligibility of salesperson spiffs in the dealership. Qualifying dealers account with Crary must be in Current Status. Product must be paid for in full to Crary before it is eligible for a Spiff. Spiff card must be sent in filled out completely within 12 weeks of the sale. This includes end user information, serial #, invoice #, salesperson s name, and social security number. Crary will submit an IRS 1099 form

5 SHIPPING Doors Shipping/Receiving is door 9, located on the west side or street side of the building. Hours The shipping department is staffed Monday through Thursday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, and 7:00 am to 4:30 pm on Friday. Fridays after 12:00 pm are minimally staffed. Customer pickup orders should be coordinated in advance. Method Unless a specific method is requested (at the time of order), the default method of ship is established as UPS or Best Way. In such cases, the shipping department will determine best way usually as being the most economical, not the fastest. The customer may change the requested shipping method anytime before the order is processed for shipment. Free freight : When Crary is obliged to pay freight; the shipping method will be the most economical. If the dealer desires a different method, then the dealer is obligated to pay, as a minimum, the difference between the most economical and the requested method. Freight is usually paid by Crary as part of early orders or quantity orders. Free freight is qualified on a product line basis, combining products in one order is welcome, but may not necessarily qualify for free freight. Customer Pick Up The Sales Department will make every effort to convey an accurate and reliable promise date for customer pickup orders. If plans have been made to pick up on a certain day, it is requested that the dealer call if there are changes in pickup plans that will result in more than a two-day delay. Order Process We do our best to have on hand whole goods and parts in season. The following establishes our order processing policy: Normal procedures are to print, pick and ship an order the work-day following the day the order was given. Very often, orders will be shipped the same day as received, especially those received and entered in the morning. This turnaround time however is not assured. Often, a critical need for whole goods or parts requires that a dealer request a certain priority to his order. Crary Shipping Department will prioritize an order over other orders for an additional charge. If priority is requested, the order will be invoiced an additional $5 for every $100 of the product value of the order, up to a maximum $15 priority charge. If for any reason the order can t be processed the same day, the priority charge will be cancelled. Drop Shipments Shipments to alternate commercial locations (branch stores, etc) are considered routine and are done at no additional charge (free freight programs require single shipment points to qualify). We are happy to drop ship to an end user or residential address, but the dealer needs to be aware that: Residential deliveries usually carry higher freight charges, commercial carriers and UPS charge more. Residential deliveries usually take longer. A drop ship charge exists for residential deliveries. A $5 per $100 of list price value is added, to a maximum drop ship charge of $
