Sale to the Highest Bidder and Auctioneer’s Determinations Final Highest Bidder. Bidders are competing against other bidders who may be present in person at an auction or bidding by telephone, online or by other forms of absentee bids. A lot will be sold to the highest bidder as determined in the sole and exclusive judgment of the auctioneer. Decision of Auctioneer Final. The auctioneer will also have the sole and exclusive power and authority, without liability, to (a) resolve any disputes between bidders, (b) determine whether to pass or re-offer any lot for sale, (c) reject or challenge any bid or advance in the bidding, and (d) otherwise regulate the bidding and its increments. If the auctioneer receives more than one bid of the same value, only the first received will be accepted. ÒAuctioneerÓ as used in these Conditions of Sale means an employee or representative of Sloans & Kenyon duly licensed as an auctioneer or otherwise authorized by Sloans & Kenyon to conduct an auction. 4. Buyer’s Premium and Purchase Price Buyer’s Premium. All bidding at auction and purchases will be in U.S. Dollars. A buyer’s premium in the amount of 20% of the successful high bid up to and including $100,000, and 14% of the successful high bid above $100,000 will be added to the amount of the successful bid price for all lots purchased at auction. Purchase Price and Taxes. Upon the announcement by the auctioneer of the successful bidder, the purchaser will be responsible to pay the amount of the successful bid price, the buyer’s premium, applicable taxes and other charges provided for in the Conditions of Sale. Applicable taxes shall include sales, use, excise, and other taxes or levies. Only valid resale certificates are accepted as proof of exemption from certain taxes for U.S. dealers. Foreign dealers should contact the Sloans & Kenyon accounting office concerning all tax matters. Sloans & Kenyon will not release purchased lots until all tax requirements are satisfied. 5. Reserves All lots offered may be subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential minimum price established between Sloans & Kenyon and the consignor. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate of the lot and will not exceed, in any case, the low estimate of the lot. Reserves do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes or other charges. Sloans & Kenyon prohibits consignors from bidding on their own property. The auctioneer may implement the reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor at the auction. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the consignor and may continue bidding for the con-signor by placing responsive or consecutive bids, but only up to the reserve. If bids on a lot fail to reach the reserve, the lot will be bought-in and with-drawn from sale. If Sloans & Kenyon has an interest in the lot, Sloans & Kenyon may bid up to the reserve to protect that interest. 6. Estimates A range of estimates is given for each lot, with a low estimate and a high estimate. The estimates are merely guides for bidders and an opinion of Sloans & Kenyon of the price a lot might bring at auction. Estimates are based, where possible, on prices that similar items have sold for in the past. The estimates are determined prior to the sale and are subject to revision to reflect changing market conditions.Estimates should not be relied on as a representation or prediction of the actual price a lot will be sold for. Actual selling prices could be significantly different from estimates. Sloans & Kenyon will not be liable if the actual selling price is different from the estimate. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes or other charges. 7. Withdrawal of Property from Sale Sloans & Kenyon reserves the right to withdraw Property from sale for any reason and with no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the reserve of the Property offered, the auctioneer may reject the bid and withdraw the Property from sale. 8. Payment, Collection and Shipping Responsibilities of Purchaser Successful Purchaser Obligations. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer or other acknowledgment of a successful bidder on a lot, title to the Property in that lot will pass and the successful bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased Property (including costs and expenses of handling, shipping, insurance, taxes, export and otherwise). Payment is due immediately following sale. 9. Methods of Payment and Fees Acceptable Methods of Payment. A purchaser may use one or more of the following methods of payment: cash, valid and approved credit or debit charge cards, wire transfers and personal checks. Sloans & Kenyon reserves the right to hold Property purchased by check until the check has cleared. To ensure that delivery is not delayed, new bidders should supply Sloans & Kenyon with bank or suitable credit references before the sale. Sloans & Kenyon will charge a fee of $25.00 for any dishonored check. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and debit cards are accepted. An additional 1 1/2% will be added to the successful high bid as an administrative fee for all payments not made by cash, check, debit card, or wire transfer. Storage Fee. A storage fee of $25 per month will be charged for all lots not picked up or shipped within ten days of sale. Late Payment Charge. In addition to any other remedies available by law to Sloans & Kenyon and the consignor, Sloans & Kenyon reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1-1/2% per month (or if lower, the highest rate permitted by applicable law) of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the payment provisions of these Conditions of Sale. 10. Purchaser Default Sloans & Kenyon Remedies Upon Purchaser Default. If any provisions of the Conditions of Sale are not fully complied with by the purchaser, the purchaser will be in default. In addition to other remedies available to Sloans & Kenyon and the consignor by law, including the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, including all premiums, charges and expenses specified in the Conditions of Sale, Sloans & Kenyon may, at its option, (a) cancel the sale of the lot on which the purchaser defaulted, and of any other lot(s) sold to the defaulting purchaser at the same or any other auction(s), and retain as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser, (b) resell the pur-chased Property, whether at public auction or private sale, or (c) pursue any combination of 10 (a) and (b). In the event of any default by purchaser, purchaser will be liable to Sloans & Kenyon and the consignor for any deficiency, any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, collection fees and expenses, handling charges, late charges, expenses of both sales, premiums on both sales at Sloans & Kenyon regular rates and other damages. Sloans & Kenyon may, in its sole discretion, apply any proceeds of sale otherwise due to the purchaser or monies of purchaser in Sloans & Kenyon possession to reduce or satisfy, if possible, the purchaser’s obligations with respect to the unpaid lots and other deficiencies and damages. Security Interest. As security for the full payment to Sloans & Kenyon and the consignor of all amounts due from purchaser, Sloans & Kenyon retains and purchaser grants to Sloans & Kenyon a security interest in the Property purchased at auction and in any other property or money of purchaser in Sloans & Kenyon possession or coming into Sloans & Kenyon possession (collectively, Òthe collateralÓ). Sloans & Kenyon shall have the rights and remedies of a secured creditor as provided by the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law. Such security interest shall cease as to the Property or other collateral when it is physically delivered to the purchaser or purchaser’s agent. 11. Rescission by Purchaser Limited Right of Rescission. If, within a reasonable time, not to exceed twenty one (21) calendar days after the sale, the original purchaser (a) gives written notice to Sloans & Kenyon by certified mail or facsimile (or in such other written form deemed acceptable by Sloans & Kenyon in its absolute discretion) alleging that the description, condition, weight, size, title, origin, prove-nance or other characteristics of a lot as set forth in the catalogue were grossly and materially inaccurate and misleading and substantially overstated the value of the Property, and (b) within five calendar days (or such later time deemed to be reasonable under the circumstances by Sloans & Kenyon in its absolute discretion) after such written notice, returns each item of Property in the lot to Sloans & Kenyon in the same condition it was in at the time of sale, and (c) proves the truth of such allegations to Sloans & Kenyon satis-faction, the sale of such lot will be rescinded. If Sloans & Kenyon has not yet paid the consignor the amounts due as a result of the sale to the purchaser, Sloans & Kenyon will refund the full purchase price to the purchaser. Refunds shall not include costs of trans-portation, insurance or other expenses which may have been incurred by purchaser. If Sloans & Kenyon has paid the consignor the amounts due consignor as a result of the sale, Sloans & Kenyon will (i) refund to the purchaser the amount of the buyer’s premium and taxes received from the purchaser, and (ii) make written demand upon the consignor for the payment of the balance of the purchase price. If the consignor fails to honor the written demand for a refund of the balance of the purchase price, Sloans & Kenyon shall immediately furnish purchaser the name and address of the con-signor, and shall assign to purchaser all of Sloans & Kenyon rights for the return of the balance of the purchase price of the affected lot. Upon this disclo-sure and assignment, Sloans & Kenyon will have no further liability to purchaser or responsibility to pursue the purchaser’s claim. Sloans & Kenyon will extend its reasonable cooperation to purchaser, provided that such cooperation does not require out-of-pocket expenditures by Sloans & Kenyon. Rescission Only by Original Purchaser. This limited right of rescission is available only to the original purchaser and may not be relied upon by any heir, agent, transferee, assignee or other third party or assigned to any subsequent transferee of the Property which gave rise to the claim. Exclusive Remedy. Purchaser acknowledges and expressly agrees that the provisions of this Paragraph 11 state the sole and exclusive remedy available to a purchaser in the event of a nonconformity in Property purchased. Sloans & Kenyon will not be liable for damages of any kind, whether characterized as comp-ensatory, direct, indirect, incidental or consequential (including damages for loss of profits or revenue, costs of obtaining alternative property, claims of customers of purchaser or otherwise), whether or not caused by Sloans & Kenyon fault or negligence, except as provided above or to the extent applicable law does not permit Sloans & Kenyon to exclude such liability. 12. Rescission by Sloans & Kenyon In the event Sloans & Kenyon receives notice of an adverse claim with respect to purchased Property, Sloans & Kenyon shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole and absolute discretion, to rescind the sale to purchaser, upon written notice to purchaser. Upon such notice, purchaser will promptly return the purchased Property to Sloans & Kenyon premises where purchased in the same condition as when purchased. Sloans & Kenyon will then promptly refund the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium and applicable taxes. Purchaser will have no further recourse against Sloans & Kenyon or the con-signor, and Sloans & Kenyon and the consignor shall not be liable for any damages of any nature suffered by the purchaser, whether or not resulting from the fault or negligence of Sloans & Kenyon or the consignor. 13. Governing Law The law of the state (excluding its conflicts of law rules) in which the Property is auctioned or sold shall govern, provided however, that if the Property is auctioned or offered for sale only through the medium of an online auction, the law of the State of Maryland (excluding its conflicts of laws rules) shall govern. 14. Forum for Lawsuits Consent of Bidders and Purchasers to Jurisdiction. If there is a lawsuit, each bidder and purchaser hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the federal court located in, and the state courts of, the State whose law has been chosen to govern as provided in the preceding ÒGoverning LawÓ Paragraph 13. Lawsuits by Bidders and Purchasers Only in Certain Courts.

Sloans & Kenyon will have no responsibility with regard to these matters. Inability to obtain a license or to import into or export to foreign countries or delays in connection therewith shall not constitute a basis for (a) a delay in purchaser’s collection of or paying for any purchase, (b) a rescission or cancellation of a purchase by purchaser or (c) purchaser not otherwise fully meeting purchaser’s obligations to Sloans & Kenyon. Absentee Bids. For bidders who do not choose to attend a sale in person or for online auctions, Sloans & Kenyon may accept absentee bids at no cost to bidders.
