Bidders and Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Lots and the matters referred to in the catalog entry, the Condition Report, or in any other statement or writing. By participating in the Auction and/or through execution of the attached registration form, the Bidder consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Western District of Texas. All Sales are final and are 'AS IS WHERE IS.' 2. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST HIDDEN, LATENT, PATENT AND/OR REDHIBITORY DEFECTS IS EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. SSAC and Seller provide absolutely no warranty against hidden, latent, patent and/or redhibitory defects, including without limitation: (1) any defects rendering a Lot useless or its use inconvenient; and, (2) any defects diminishing the usefulness of a Lot. Any and all such warranties are waived and excluded. In addition, SSAC and Seller provide no warranties, guarantees, or representations as to whether a Lot is fit for its ordinary use, fit for Buyer's intended use or fit for Buyer's particular purpose. 3. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST EVICTION IS EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED AND EXCLUDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. In the event that Buyer is evicted from possession of whole or part of the Lot, neither SSAC nor Seller shall have any duty whatsoever to return any part of the Purchase Price to Buyer. Buyer is buying at Buyer's sole risk and peril as to third parties who may claim rights in the Lot after the Sale. 4.

Except as required by local law, any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a). (b). EXAMINATION OR PROPERTY/CONDITION REPORTS. Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place. As a convenience, Bidders may request that SSAC produce a Condition Report ('Condition Report') for a Lot, which, if produced, will provide additional detail concerning the condition of the Lot as observed by SSAC's staff. SSAC reserves the right to decline to produce a Condition Report for any specific Lot, for any reason and in SSAC's sole discretion. (c). CATALOG AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS. All statements made by SSAC as to condition, authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, or historical relevance, whether in the Catalog description or entry for the Lot, in the Condition Report, and/or in a bill of sale, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are qualified statements of opinion only and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by SSAC of any kind. References in the Catalog entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. (1) Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Seller, SSAC, nor any of SSAC's officers, employees or agents, nor any of them, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lot.

AT THE AUCTION (a). REGISTRATION/BIDDING REQUIREMENTS. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements: (1) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to SSAC; (2) SSAC may require from any Bidder, in SSAC's sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information; (3) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with SSAC before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to SSAC, and that SSAC will only look to that principal for payment; (4) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between SSAC and the Bidder; and, (5) In SSAC's sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion, SSAC may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by SSAC in its sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in SSAC's sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below). (b). REFUSAL TO ADMIT/REJECTION OF BIDDERS. SSAC has the right, in its sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. SSAC reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever or no reason at all in SSAC's sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion. (c). ABSENTEE BIDS/TELEPHONE BIDS. (1) As a convenience to Bidders, SSAC may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid ('Absentee Bid') or telephone bid ('Telephone Bid') by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked 'Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.' In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to SSAC no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (SSAC reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in SSAC's sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion.) All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount ('Maximum Bid'). (2) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other SSAC staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (i) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (ii) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion of the Auctioneer and/or SSAC. If SSAC receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to the physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid). (3) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, SSAC staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (4) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither SSAC nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith. (d). VIDEO OR DIGITAL IMAGES. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors. SSAC reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by SSAC but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). RESERVES. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the 'Reserve'). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, in the sole, complete absolute and unfettered discretion of the Auctioneer and SSAC, consistent with the agreement between SSAC and the Seller. (f). NO BIDDING BY SELLER. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller's Lot. (g). AUCTIONEER'S DISCRETION. The Auctioneer has the right in his or her sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to re-offer and re-sell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, SSAC's sale record is conclusive. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. SSAC and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole, complete, absolute and unfettered discretion. (h). SUCCESSFUL BID AND TRANSFER OF RISK. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in Determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer's hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Complete and total risk and responsibility for the Lot, but not its title, passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). POST-AUCTION SALE. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, SSAC may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and SSAC.
