BIDDING PROCEDURES: A separate sealed bid and envelope must be submitted for each log sort. Prospective

Purchasers may bid on any or all log sorts. On the day of sale the Purchaser must bring their bid deposit up to 10% of their total bid price. Complete bidding procedures and auction information may be obtained from the Pacific Cascade Region Office in Castle Rock WA. Phone number (360)577-2025.

TIMBER EXCISE TAX: Purchaser must pay the forest excise taxes associated with the log sorts delivered to them.

The tax rate for this sale is 4.2 %. Taxable Stumpage = Total Delivered Value – (Harvest Cost + Estimated Haul Cost + ARRF). For more information contact the Department of Revenue, Forest Tax Section at 1-800-548-8829.

Use the following rates for estimating taxable stumpage: Harvest Cost = $0.00 per MBF for sorts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and $12.00 per Ton for sorts 9, 10 and 11. Hauling Services Payment Rate per Ton = (Base Rate + Mileage Rate) x (Contractor's hauling bid factor) Base Rate = $2.35 per ton

Mileage Rate = (($0.16 x C miles) + ($0.11 x A miles)) x Fuel Index Factor

ARRF = $0.00 per MBF for sorts 9, 10 and 11 and $26.00 per MBF for sorts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Note: To calculate ARRF rates per ton use the tons\mbf conversion factor in the table above.

CONFIRMATION: Each sort is subject to confirmation following auction. Sorts will not be confirmed until

at least 10 days after auction. Final contract award is contingent upon the State’s haul cost analysis. Actual haul route may vary and is subject to change at the State’s discretion.

SPECIAL REMARKS: The successful Purchaser(s) will be required to purchase logs from the sale area upon

delivery to their location specified in the bid submitted. Logs will be delivered to the Purchaser’s delivery location by the State’s contract harvester. Purchaser is responsible for weighing and scaling costs. All tonnage loads will be weighed and all mbf loads will be scaled at State approved locations. The State reserves the right to determine where logs are authorized to be scaled and weighed.

Anticipated log delivery date of June 15, 2020 to November 30, 2020.

is harmed by purchaser’s refusal to accept up to 10 truck deliveries of any one sort per day, Purchaser will be in breach of contract and subject to damages as per the D-026.2 and D-027.2 clauses. A truck delivery is all the wood delivered including sorts on super trucks, mule trains and pups brought to the delivery point by a single truck. The Purchaser shall notify the Contract Administrator at least 48 hours in advance if:

1. Purchaser intends to limit the number of truck deliveries accepted on any day to less than that listed above, or

2. Purchaser intends to limit the number of truck deliveries accepted on any day to the number listed above.

e. State Notification to Purchaser - The State will notify the Purchaser when it

anticipates or schedules an interruption of deliveries and when it anticipates the number of truck deliveries on any day will exceed the number listed above.

f. If payments are not received or, the State determines that the payment security

has become unsatisfactory or, a demand is made against the payment security under the P-045.2 clause the State shall suspend deliveries until such time as the violation has been remedied. Any suspension of deliveries due to late payment or inadequate payment security will be considered a Log Delivery Interruption under (c) of this clause.

Purchaser agrees to increase the above delivered payment rate as approved by the State in the event the location of delivery is changed per the G-026.2 clause. Purchaser will not be billed for any delivered logs that are scaled as containing metal. *When two or more log sorts from this project are delivered to the same destination, the species contained in them are not eligible for the species price reduction.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-038.2 Average Log Length and Payment Reduction

If the average log length for all logs delivered under this contract is less than the average log length specified in the table in clause G-024.2, The amount of allowable payment reduction shall be calculated by multiplying the payment rate in P-028.2 by the total volume delivered, and the difference between the average length of logs delivered and the average log length specified in G-024.2, times 1% as follows: Log Length Payment Reduction = (B x V x L) x (.01)

Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause V = total delivered log Volume L = Length in feet below specified average (rounded to nearest 1/10th) Average log length payment reductions calculated by the Purchaser must be approved by the State, prior to payment for the final billing period. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf and Average log length for payment reduction purposes. Average log length is determined on a piece count basis. Value of log length price reduction will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining Average log length for payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for below average log lengths shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

The State will adjust final billings to account for any State approved payment reductions.

P-080 Payment Account Refund

Advance payments made under P-045 or P-045.2 remaining on account above the value for the charges shall be returned to Purchaser within 30 days following the final report of charges. Refunds not made within the 30 day period will accrue interest at the interest rate, as established by WAC 332-100-030, computed on a daily basis until paid.

Section L: Log Definitions and Accountability

L-010.2 Forest Products Conveyed

Forest products conveyed are logs or parts of logs delivered meeting the sorting criteria defined by clause G-022.2 and manufacturing standards defined by clause G-024.2 of this contract

L-014.2 Sorts Delivered to Incorrect Destination

Purchaser has agreed to purchase the sort as described in the G-022.2 clause. In the event a load from a different sort is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser may reject the load. If Purchaser receives an incorrectly delivered load, they shall notify the State within 24 hours. If the Purchaser accepts the load, provisions in the P-035.2 or P-036.2 clause may apply.

L-071.2 Log and Load Reporting Service

This contract may at the States discretion, require the services of a State approved third party log and load reporting service. Purchaser shall ensure log volume measurement, weight, or scale and weight data for each load is received by the log and load reporting service within 1 business day of logs being measured or weighed. If during the term of this contract, the State discontinues use of the Log and Load Reporting Service, the State will notify the Purchaser in writing, and will approve an alternative log and load reporting process.

L-080 Scaling Rules

Determination of volume and grade of any forest products shall be conducted by a state approved third party scaling organization and in accordance with the Westside log scaling and grading rules and Scribner Volume Table, revised July 1, 1972, contained in the Northwest Log Rules Eastside and Westside Log Scaling Handbook (developed and produced by the Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group) and in effect on the date of confirmation of this contract. Special scaling specifications shall be noted on the State’s Brand Designation form which is hereby incorporated to this contract by reference.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing, Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

3/3/2020 15 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099923

damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale.

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-038.2 Average Log Length and Payment Reduction

If the average log length for all logs delivered under this contract is less than the average log length specified in the table in clause G-024.2, The amount of allowable payment reduction shall be calculated by multiplying the payment rate in P-028.2 by the total volume delivered, and the difference between the average length of logs delivered and the average log length specified in G-024.2, times 1% as follows: Log Length Payment Reduction = (B x V x L) x (.01)

Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf and Average log length for payment reduction purposes. Average log length is determined on a piece count basis. Value of log length price reduction will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining Average log length for payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for below average log lengths shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated

damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have entered into this contract.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-038.2 Average Log Length and Payment Reduction

If the average log length for all logs delivered under this contract is less than the average log length specified in the table in clause G-024.2, The amount of allowable payment reduction shall be calculated by multiplying the payment rate in P-028.2 by the total volume delivered, and the difference between the average length of logs delivered and the average log length specified in G-024.2, times 1% as follows: Log Length Payment Reduction = (B x V x L) x (.01)

Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause V = total delivered log Volume L = Length in feet below specified average (rounded to nearest 1/10th) Average log length payment reductions calculated by the Purchaser must be approved by the State, prior to payment for the final billing period. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf and Average log length for payment reduction purposes. Average log length is determined on a piece count basis. Value of log length price reduction will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining Average log length for payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for below average log lengths shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

The State will compute and forward to Purchaser a billing statement of charges for forest products delivered during the billing period at the delivered rate shown in P-028.2 clause. After receipt of the billing statement, Purchaser’s payment must be received by the Department of Natural Resources on or before the due date shown on the billing statement. Purchaser agrees to make payment, payable to the Department of Natural Resources. Failure to pay on time for forest products delivered is considered a breach of contract.

The State will adjust final billings to account for any State approved payment reductions.

P-080 Payment Account Refund

Advance payments made under P-045 or P-045.2 remaining on account above the value for the charges shall be returned to Purchaser within 30 days following the final report of charges.

L-080 Scaling Rules

Determination of volume and grade of any forest products shall be conducted by a state approved third party scaling organization and in accordance with the Westside log scaling and grading rules and Scribner Volume Table, revised July 1, 1972, contained in the Northwest Log Rules Eastside and Westside Log Scaling Handbook (developed and produced by the Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group) and in effect on the date of confirmation of this contract. Special scaling specifications shall be noted on the State’s Brand Designation form which is hereby incorporated to this contract by reference.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

3/3/2020 14 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099925

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing, Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

3/3/2020 15 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099925

damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-038.2 Average Log Length and Payment Reduction

If the average log length for all logs delivered under this contract is less than the average log length specified in the table in clause G-024.2, The amount of allowable payment reduction shall be calculated by multiplying the payment rate in P-028.2 by the total volume delivered, and the difference between the average length of logs delivered and the average log length specified in G-024.2, times 1% as follows: Log Length Payment Reduction = (B x V x L) x (.01)

Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause V = total delivered log Volume L = Length in feet below specified average (rounded to nearest 1/10th) Average log length payment reductions calculated by the Purchaser must be approved by the State, prior to payment for the final billing period. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf and Average log length for payment reduction purposes. Average log length is determined on a piece count basis. Value of log length price reduction will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining Average log length for payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for below average log lengths shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

The State will compute and forward to Purchaser a billing statement of charges for forest products delivered during the billing period at the delivered rate shown in P-028.2 clause. After receipt of the billing statement, Purchaser’s payment must be received by the Department of Natural Resources on or before the due date shown on the billing statement. Purchaser agrees to make payment, payable to the Department of Natural Resources. Failure to pay on time for forest products delivered is considered a breach of contract. Included with the billing statement will be a summary report for the billing period compiled by the State or their log and load reporting service. The State will adjust final billings to account for any State approved payment reductions.

P-080 Payment Account Refund

Advance payments made under P-045 or P-045.2 remaining on account above the value for the charges shall be returned to Purchaser within 30 days following the final report of charges. Refunds not made within the 30 day period will accrue interest at the interest rate, as established by WAC 332-100-030, computed on a daily basis until paid.

Section L: Log Definitions and Accountability

L-010.2 Forest Products Conveyed

Forest products conveyed are logs or parts of logs delivered meeting the sorting criteria defined by clause G-022.2 and manufacturing standards defined by clause G-024.2 of this contract

L-014.2 Sorts Delivered to Incorrect Destination

Purchaser has agreed to purchase the sort as described in the G-022.2 clause. In the event a load from a different sort is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser may reject the load. If Purchaser receives an incorrectly delivered load, they shall notify the State within 24 hours. If the Purchaser accepts the load, provisions in the P-035.2 or P-036.2 clause may apply.

L-071.2 Log and Load Reporting Service

This contract may at the States discretion, require the services of a State approved third party log and load reporting service. Purchaser shall ensure log volume measurement, weight, or scale and weight data for each load is received by the log and load reporting service within 1 business day of logs being measured or weighed. If during the term of this contract, the State discontinues use of the Log and Load Reporting Service, the State will notify the Purchaser in writing, and will approve an alternative log and load reporting process.

L-080 Scaling Rules

Determination of volume and grade of any forest products shall be conducted by a state approved third party scaling organization and in accordance with the Westside log scaling and grading rules and Scribner Volume Table, revised July 1, 1972, contained in the Northwest Log Rules Eastside and Westside Log Scaling Handbook (developed and produced by the Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group) and in effect on the date of confirmation of this contract. Special scaling specifications shall be noted on the State’s Brand Designation form which is hereby incorporated to this contract by reference.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

3/3/2020 14 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099926

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing, Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated

damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

Purchaser will not be billed for any delivered logs that are scaled as containing metal. *When two or more log sorts from this project are delivered to the same destination, the species contained in them are not eligible for the species price reduction.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-038.2 Average Log Length and Payment Reduction

If the average log length for all logs delivered under this contract is less than the average log length specified in the table in clause G-024.2, The amount of allowable payment reduction shall be calculated by multiplying the payment rate in P-028.2 by the total volume delivered, and the difference between the average length of logs delivered and the average log length specified in G-024.2, times 1% as follows: Log Length Payment Reduction = (B x V x L) x (.01)

Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause V = total delivered log Volume L = Length in feet below specified average (rounded to nearest 1/10th) Average log length payment reductions calculated by the Purchaser must be approved by the State, prior to payment for the final billing period. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf and Average log length for payment reduction purposes. Average log length is determined on a piece count basis. Value of log length price reduction will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining Average log length for payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for below average log lengths shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

Section L: Log Definitions and Accountability

L-010.2 Forest Products Conveyed

Forest products conveyed are logs or parts of logs delivered meeting the sorting criteria defined by clause G-022.2 and manufacturing standards defined by clause G-024.2 of this contract

L-014.2 Sorts Delivered to Incorrect Destination

Purchaser has agreed to purchase the sort as described in the G-022.2 clause. In the event a load from a different sort is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser may reject the load.

L-080 Scaling Rules

Determination of volume and grade of any forest products shall be conducted by a state approved third party scaling organization and in accordance with the Westside log scaling and grading rules and Scribner Volume Table, revised July 1, 1972, contained in the Northwest Log Rules Eastside and Westside Log Scaling Handbook (developed and produced by the Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group) and in effect on the date of confirmation of this contract. Special scaling specifications shall be noted on the State’s Brand Designation form which is hereby incorporated to this contract by reference.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

Page 82: TIMBER NOTICE OF SALE SALE NAME: ICONIC SORTS … · 2020. 6. 9. · TIMBER NOTICE OF SALE Page 1 of 2 4/8/2020 SALE NAME: ICONIC SORTS AGREEMENT NO: 30-99923 - 30-99933 AUCTION:

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

3/3/2020 14 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099927

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing, Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

3/3/2020 15 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099927

damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

Purchaser will not be billed for any delivered logs that are scaled as containing metal. *When two or more log sorts from this project are delivered to the same destination, the species contained in them are not eligible for the species price reduction.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-038.2 Average Log Length and Payment Reduction

If the average log length for all logs delivered under this contract is less than the average log length specified in the table in clause G-024.2, The amount of allowable payment reduction shall be calculated by multiplying the payment rate in P-028.2 by the total volume delivered, and the difference between the average length of logs delivered and the average log length specified in G-024.2, times 1% as follows: Log Length Payment Reduction = (B x V x L) x (.01)

Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause V = total delivered log Volume L = Length in feet below specified average (rounded to nearest 1/10th) Average log length payment reductions calculated by the Purchaser must be approved by the State, prior to payment for the final billing period. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf and Average log length for payment reduction purposes. Average log length is determined on a piece count basis. Value of log length price reduction will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining Average log length for payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for below average log lengths shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

Section L: Log Definitions and Accountability

L-010.2 Forest Products Conveyed

Forest products conveyed are logs or parts of logs delivered meeting the sorting criteria defined by clause G-022.2 and manufacturing standards defined by clause G-024.2 of this contract

L-014.2 Sorts Delivered to Incorrect Destination

Purchaser has agreed to purchase the sort as described in the G-022.2 clause. In the event a load from a different sort is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser may reject the load.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing, Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

3/3/2020 15 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099928

damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-038.2 Average Log Length and Payment Reduction

If the average log length for all logs delivered under this contract is less than the average log length specified in the table in clause G-024.2, The amount of allowable payment reduction shall be calculated by multiplying the payment rate in P-028.2 by the total volume delivered, and the difference between the average length of logs delivered and the average log length specified in G-024.2, times 1% as follows: Log Length Payment Reduction = (B x V x L) x (.01)

Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf and Average log length for payment reduction purposes. Average log length is determined on a piece count basis. Value of log length price reduction will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining Average log length for payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for below average log lengths shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State.

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing, Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated

damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have entered into this contract.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-038.2 Average Log Length and Payment Reduction

If the average log length for all logs delivered under this contract is less than the average log length specified in the table in clause G-024.2, The amount of allowable payment reduction shall be calculated by multiplying the payment rate in P-028.2 by the total volume delivered, and the difference between the average length of logs delivered and the average log length specified in G-024.2, times 1% as follows: Log Length Payment Reduction = (B x V x L) x (.01)

Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause V = total delivered log Volume L = Length in feet below specified average (rounded to nearest 1/10th) Average log length payment reductions calculated by the Purchaser must be approved by the State, prior to payment for the final billing period. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf and Average log length for payment reduction purposes. Average log length is determined on a piece count basis. Value of log length price reduction will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining Average log length for payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for below average log lengths shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

The State will compute and forward to Purchaser a billing statement of charges for forest products delivered during the billing period at the delivered rate shown in P-028.2 clause. After receipt of the billing statement, Purchaser’s payment must be received by the Department of Natural Resources on or before the due date shown on the billing statement. Purchaser agrees to make payment, payable to the Department of Natural Resources. Failure to pay on time for forest products delivered is considered a breach of contract. Included with the billing statement will be a summary report for the billing period compiled by the State or their log and load reporting service. The State will adjust final billings to account for any State approved payment reductions.

P-080 Payment Account Refund

Advance payments made under P-045 or P-045.2 remaining on account above the value for the charges shall be returned to Purchaser within 30 days following the final report of charges. Refunds not made within the 30 day period will accrue interest at the interest rate, as established by WAC 332-100-030, computed on a daily basis until paid.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

3/3/2020 14 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099930

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing, Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

3/3/2020 15 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099930

damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

Purchaser agrees to increase the above delivered payment rate as approved by the State in the event the location of delivery is changed per the G-026.2 clause. Purchaser will not be billed for any delivered logs that are scaled as containing metal. *When two or more log sorts from this project are delivered to the same destination, the species contained in them are not eligible for the species price reduction.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-039.2 Tonnage Sort Payment Reduction Requirements

Purchaser must provide a plan in writing, acceptable to the State, to acquire third party Scribner mbf scaling information in order to be eligible for a payment reduction for a tonnage sort according to clauses P-036.2 or P-037.2. Logs delivered and accepted by the Purchaser prior to the State’s acceptance of Purchaser’s written payment reduction plan are not eligible for payment reduction.

Failure of Purchaser to provide sample scale data in a timely, accurate and legible basis will void an approved sample scale plan. An approved payment reduction plan can be voided at the sole discretion of the State. For the purpose of tonnage sort payment reduction requests, preferred log lengths for tonnage sawlog sorts shall include the following plus any additional lengths identified in clause G-024.2: Species Type Preferred Lengths Conifer Sorts 16’, 20’, 24’, 26’, 32’, 40’ Hardwood Sorts 18’, 20’, 26’, 28’, 30’, 36’, 38’, 40’

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

P-050.2 Billing and Payment Procedure for Forest Products Delivered

The State will compute and forward to Purchaser a billing statement of charges for forest products delivered during the billing period at the delivered rate shown in P-028.2 clause. After receipt of the billing statement, Purchaser’s payment must be received by the Department of Natural Resources on or before the due date shown on the billing statement. Purchaser agrees to make payment, payable to the Department of Natural Resources. Failure to pay on time for forest products delivered is considered a breach of contract.

Refunds not made within the 30 day period will accrue interest at the interest rate, as established by WAC 332-100-030, computed on a daily basis until paid.

Section L: Log Definitions and Accountability

L-010.2 Forest Products Conveyed

Forest products conveyed are logs or parts of logs delivered meeting the sorting criteria defined by clause G-022.2 and manufacturing standards defined by clause G-024.2 of this contract

L-014.2 Sorts Delivered to Incorrect Destination

Purchaser has agreed to purchase the sort as described in the G-022.2 clause. In the event a load from a different sort is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser may reject the load. If Purchaser receives an incorrectly delivered load, they shall notify the State within 24 hours. If the Purchaser accepts the load, provisions in the P-035.2 or P-036.2 clause may apply.

L-071.2 Log and Load Reporting Service

This contract may at the States discretion, require the services of a State approved third party log and load reporting service. Purchaser shall ensure log volume measurement, weight, or scale and weight data for each load is received by the log and load reporting service within 1 business day of logs being measured or weighed. If during the term of this contract, the State discontinues use of the Log and Load Reporting Service, the State will notify the Purchaser in writing, and will approve an alternative log and load reporting process.

L-080 Scaling Rules

Determination of volume and grade of any forest products shall be conducted by a state approved third party scaling organization and in accordance with the Westside log scaling and grading rules and Scribner Volume Table, revised July 1, 1972, contained in the Northwest Log Rules Eastside and Westside Log Scaling Handbook (developed and produced by the Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group) and in effect on the date of confirmation of this contract.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing,

Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

3/3/2020 14 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099931

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further

harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

Purchaser agrees to increase the above delivered payment rate as approved by the State in the event the location of delivery is changed per the G-026.2 clause. Purchaser will not be billed for any delivered logs that are scaled as containing metal. *When two or more log sorts from this project are delivered to the same destination, the species contained in them are not eligible for the species price reduction.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-039.2 Tonnage Sort Payment Reduction Requirements

Purchaser must provide a plan in writing, acceptable to the State, to acquire third party Scribner mbf scaling information in order to be eligible for a payment reduction for a tonnage sort according to clauses P-036.2 or P-037.2. Logs delivered and accepted by the Purchaser prior to the State’s acceptance of Purchaser’s written payment reduction plan are not eligible for payment reduction.

Failure of Purchaser to provide sample scale data in a timely, accurate and legible basis will void an approved sample scale plan. An approved payment reduction plan can be voided at the sole discretion of the State. For the purpose of tonnage sort payment reduction requests, preferred log lengths for tonnage sawlog sorts shall include the following plus any additional lengths identified in clause G-024.2: Species Type Preferred Lengths Conifer Sorts 16’, 20’, 24’, 26’, 32’, 40’ Hardwood Sorts 18’, 20’, 26’, 28’, 30’, 36’, 38’, 40’

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

P-050.2 Billing and Payment Procedure for Forest Products Delivered

The State will compute and forward to Purchaser a billing statement of charges for forest products delivered during the billing period at the delivered rate shown in P-028.2 clause. After receipt of the billing statement, Purchaser’s payment must be received by the Department of Natural Resources on or before the due date shown on the billing statement. Purchaser agrees to make payment, payable to the Department of Natural Resources. Failure to pay on time for forest products delivered is considered a breach of contract.

Section L: Log Definitions and Accountability

L-010.2 Forest Products Conveyed

Forest products conveyed are logs or parts of logs delivered meeting the sorting criteria defined by clause G-022.2 and manufacturing standards defined by clause G-024.2 of this contract

L-014.2 Sorts Delivered to Incorrect Destination

Purchaser has agreed to purchase the sort as described in the G-022.2 clause. In the event a load from a different sort is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser may reject the load. If Purchaser receives an incorrectly delivered load, they shall notify the State within 24 hours. If the Purchaser accepts the load, provisions in the P-035.2 or P-036.2 clause may apply.

L-071.2 Log and Load Reporting Service

This contract may at the States discretion, require the services of a State approved third party log and load reporting service. Purchaser shall ensure log volume measurement, weight, or scale and weight data for each load is received by the log and load reporting service within 1 business day of logs being measured or weighed. If during the term of this contract, the State discontinues use of the Log and Load Reporting Service, the State will notify the Purchaser in writing, and will approve an alternative log and load reporting process.

L-080 Scaling Rules

Determination of volume and grade of any forest products shall be conducted by a state approved third party scaling organization and in accordance with the Westside log scaling and grading rules and Scribner Volume Table, revised July 1, 1972, contained in the Northwest Log Rules Eastside and Westside Log Scaling Handbook (developed and produced by the Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group) and in effect on the date of confirmation of this contract.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing,

Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

3/3/2020 14 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099932

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further

harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

Purchaser agrees to increase the above delivered payment rate as approved by the State in the event the location of delivery is changed per the G-026.2 clause. Purchaser will not be billed for any delivered logs that are scaled as containing metal. *When two or more log sorts from this project are delivered to the same destination, the species contained in them are not eligible for the species price reduction.

P-036.2 Missorts and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code

P-037.2 Mismanufacture and Payment Reduction for Delivered Forest Products

Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis-manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Scribner mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.

P-039.2 Tonnage Sort Payment Reduction Requirements

Purchaser must provide a plan in writing, acceptable to the State, to acquire third party Scribner mbf scaling information in order to be eligible for a payment reduction for a tonnage sort according to clauses P-036.2 or P-037.2. Logs delivered and accepted by the Purchaser prior to the State’s acceptance of Purchaser’s written payment reduction plan are not eligible for payment reduction.

3/3/2020 11 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099933

Failure of Purchaser to provide sample scale data in a timely, accurate and legible basis will void an approved sample scale plan. An approved payment reduction plan can be voided at the sole discretion of the State. For the purpose of tonnage sort payment reduction requests, preferred log lengths for tonnage sawlog sorts shall include the following plus any additional lengths identified in clause G-024.2: Species Type Preferred Lengths Conifer Sorts 16’, 20’, 24’, 26’, 32’, 40’ Hardwood Sorts 18’, 20’, 26’, 28’, 30’, 36’, 38’, 40’

P-040.2 Weighing and Scaling Costs

Purchaser agrees to pay for all weighing costs for logs delivered regardless if logs are purchased on a weight or scale basis. In addition, Purchaser agrees to pay for all scaling costs for logs delivered on a scale basis. Purchaser also agrees to pay for all costs associated with the transmission and reporting of scale or weight data.

P-045.2 Guarantee of Payment

Prior to the delivery of forest products and at a date determined by the State, Purchaser shall guarantee payment to the State for products delivered by posting with the State an approved payment security. If the Purchaser has purchased more than one sort, the payment securities may be consolidated for all the sorts. Acceptable payment security includes cash, certificate of deposit assignment, payment bond, savings account assignment, or irrevocable bank letter of credit. The amount of payment security shall be determined by the State. The amount of payment security shall represent at least 30 days value of forest product deliveries. Payment security for products delivered will be used to guarantee payment to the State for late or non-payments. If at any time the State determines that the security has become unsatisfactory or a demand is made against the payment security, the Purchaser agrees to increase the amount or replace the security with one acceptable to the state within 5 business days. Failure to increase the amount or replace the security is considered a breach of contract.

P-050.2 Billing and Payment Procedure for Forest Products Delivered

The State will compute and forward to Purchaser a billing statement of charges for forest products delivered during the billing period at the delivered rate shown in P-028.2 clause. After receipt of the billing statement, Purchaser’s payment must be received by the Department of Natural Resources on or before the due date shown on the billing statement. Purchaser agrees to make payment, payable to the Department of Natural Resources. Failure to pay on time for forest products delivered is considered a breach of contract.

Section L: Log Definitions and Accountability

L-010.2 Forest Products Conveyed

Forest products conveyed are logs or parts of logs delivered meeting the sorting criteria defined by clause G-022.2 and manufacturing standards defined by clause G-024.2 of this contract

L-014.2 Sorts Delivered to Incorrect Destination

Purchaser has agreed to purchase the sort as described in the G-022.2 clause. In the event a load from a different sort is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser may reject the load. If Purchaser receives an incorrectly delivered load, they shall notify the State within 24 hours. If the Purchaser accepts the load, provisions in the P-035.2 or P-036.2 clause may apply.

L-071.2 Log and Load Reporting Service

This contract may at the States discretion, require the services of a State approved third party log and load reporting service. Purchaser shall ensure log volume measurement, weight, or scale and weight data for each load is received by the log and load reporting service within 1 business day of logs being measured or weighed. If during the term of this contract, the State discontinues use of the Log and Load Reporting Service, the State will notify the Purchaser in writing, and will approve an alternative log and load reporting process.

L-110 State Approval of Log Scaling and Weighing Locations

Forest Product measurement and weighing facilities required by this contract must be approved by the State. Forest products sold under the contract which require log scaling shall be scaled, measured, or counted by a State approved third party log scaling organization. Forest products sold under the contract which require weighing shall be weighed at a location that meets Washington State Department of Agriculture approval. Prior to forest products being hauled, the Contract Administrator must authorize in writing the use of State approved measurement and/or weighing facilities that are at or en-route to final destinations. Forest products from this sale shall be measured or weighed at facilities, which are currently approved for use by the State and are currently authorized for this sale. The State reserves the right to verify load volume and weights with State employees or contractors at the State's own expense. The State reserves the right to revoke the authorization of previously approved measurement locations.

Section D: Damages

D-010 Liquidated Damages

The clauses in the DAMAGES section of this contract provide for payments by Purchaser to the State for certain breaches of the terms of this contract. These payments are agreed to as liquidated damages and not as penalties. They are reasonable estimates of anticipated harm to the State caused by Purchaser's breach. These liquidated damages provisions are agreed to by the State and Purchaser with the understanding of the difficulty of proving loss and the inconvenience or infeasibility of obtaining an adequate remedy. These liquidated damages provisions provide greater certainty for the Purchaser by allowing the Purchaser to better assess its responsibilities under the contract.

D-026.2 Damages for Delivery Interruptions and Load Non-Acceptance

a. Purchaser’s failure to accept delivery of forest products due to an extended delivery interruption exceeding the limits as described in the G-027.2 (c) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $1,000.00 per each day of breach, until breach is remedied.

b. Unless Purchaser and the State have made a prior agreement in writing,

Purchaser’s failure to accept at least the number of delivered loads as described in the G-027.2 (d) clause, results in substantial injury to the State. The Purchaser shall pay the State liquidated damages at a rate of $200 per each truck delivery not accepted, until breach is remedied.

D-027.2 Failure to Accept Forest Products Sold

Purchaser’s failure to accept all or part of the forest products sold in this agreement prior to expiration or completion of the contract results in substantial injury to the State. Except for reasons other than ‘Force Majeure’ (G-056.2), either section a. or b. below will apply as determined by the State.

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

3/3/2020 14 of 16 Agreement No. 30-099933

a. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products does not prevent further

harvesting operations, or forest products can be re-sold to another buyer acceptable to the State, Purchaser shall be liable for and pay State for actual damages plus costs, as determined by the State associated with the administration and re-sale of forest products not accepted by Purchaser under the terms of this contract.

b. When Purchaser’s refusal to accept forest products causes a stoppage of the

State’s harvesting operations and prevents the State from further harvest of the sale area, the actual damage to the State and associated costs are difficult to assess. The remaining value of all the forest products left in the sale area once the stoppage occurs is not readily ascertainable. Purchaser’s failure to perform disrupts the State’s management plans. Therefore, Purchaser agrees to pay the State as liquidated damages, a sum calculated using the following formula:

LD = (.35V-I) + C+ A - P Where: LD = Liquidated Damages V = The stumpage value remaining in the sale area at the date of work stoppage. This will be determined by multiplying the contract bid rate contained in the P-028.2 clause for all sorts originating in the sale area, by the State’s estimate of the remaining volume, less the cost of harvesting and delivery associated with each sort. I = Initial Deposit C = Costs associated with required harvesting services and road construction services prior to work stoppage but not amortized or paid. A = Administrative fee = $2,500.00 P = Advance payments received exceeding the value of logs delivered under this contract. The above formula reflects the Purchaser’s forfeiture of the initial deposit in accordance with clause P-010 by deducting the initial deposit from the amount owed. In no event shall the liquidated damages be less than zero. Interest on the liquidated damage is owed from the date of the work stoppage until final payment, calculated using the following formula: Interest = r x LD x N Where: r = daily equivalent of an annual interest at current interest rate as established by WAC 332-100-030. N = Number of days from work stoppage to time of payment

D-030.2 Inadequate Log Accountability

Failure to provide weighing and third party scaling information result in substantial injury to the State. The potential loss of accountability is not readily ascertainable. These contractual breaches result in an increase in the potential for the delivery of forest products for which the State receives inadequate payment and causes an increase in the State's administration costs associated with this contract. The actual costs of these breaches are difficult to assess. For these reasons, Purchaser’s payments for forest product delivery under this contract will be increased in the following amounts, as liquidated damages, to compensate the State for these breaches: $250.00 each time a load weight is not provided as required by the contract, and $250.00 each time load scale data is not determined and provided by a State approved third party scaling organization in accordance with this contract.

Common defects for the RA consisted of crooks and sweep with very little split tops and black knot. There is also a spattering of WH and BM. Trace amounts of RC were noticed but not picked up on the cruise. This sale will require a combination of cable and ground based logging techniques. Access is good from McCormick Cr Rd. or the RCP mainline, no gate keys are required.
