It provides details on procedures and guidelines for a quality FieldTurf installation. PRE-INSTALL 1. Site Visit a. Installer meets with project owners, construction managers (CM) and the general contractor (GC). (All installation staff on site will wear FieldTurf-branded clothing and install project-specific signage to brand the site.) i. Obtain Project Contact Names, Phone Numbers. ii. Secure Spot for Equipment Trailer 1. Preferably near the field and/or the staging area. iii. Secure Staging Area for Bulk Materials and Infill Mixing 1. Secure a staging area that is nearby and one that ideally has pavement and will last for the duration of the project. Ideally, a paved “D” area or one side of a track is sufficient. If these are not available, locate the nearest paved surface with approximately 10,000 square feet for a regular 80,000 square foot field. a. Determine if site has enough room for bulk sand and bagged rubber. b. Determine if the site has asphalt that the GC will allow us to use for bulk sand. c. Determine if trench plates for bulk sand will need to be rented by installer. In lieu of trench plates, plastic or filter fabric can be used. d. Determine if dump trucks can access the bulk sand staging area without creating any damage FieldTurf may be liable for. e. Inspect and take pictures of your surrounding area especially your staging area and any com boxes before turf installation starts. This will insure FieldTurf will not be liable for previous damage. iv. Secure Field Access Point from Staging Area 1. Make sure that access to the field from the staging area is unobstructed. If there is a fence, get a key from the owner. v. Assess any Logistical Restrictions 1. Note if and which parking spaces on or near the site are available to FieldTurf. Note which parking areas are off limits to FieldTurf. 2. Note any sensitive site areas that need to be protected or avoided such as a track, lawns, curbing, fences, etc. 3. Note if lighting is available for use if needed. Note any special working hours or days of the week and if extended hours (night) are allowed. vi. Note any safety requirements such as hard hats, boots, safety glasses, long pants, etc. vii. Determine availability and location of drinking water, porta-potties and dumpsters. viii. Create a detailed set of directions to the site and recommended parking areas. ix. Determine nearest locations and directions for lodging, miscellaneous material suppliers (Home Depot, Sears), hospital, eating establishments, etc x. Take pertinent digital pictures of site, especially staging areas, access points and any pre-damaged areas. xi. Ensure that COC will have to be signed once field is complete, set tentative time. b. Creates Initial Installation Schedule i. It is vital for the Installer to be given as much prior notice of any impending installation. c. Confirms Tentative Base Completion Date i. WIP call attendance is required for base completion dates. d. Confirms Staging Area Availability e. Schedules Material Delivery Dates for Carpet and Rubber. Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 4 FIELDTURF INSTALL S.O.P. MANUAL 2. Crew Arrival a. All crew members are required to wear FieldTurf branded shirts or safety vests b. Lead Installer will Supply Crew with Directions to Site i. Find directions to the job site. c. Installer and CM Review Job Specifics i. Installer will review the project checklist with the CM. ii. Pay particular attention to safety regulations, restriction on work hours and other special requirements of the Owner and/or General Contractor. iii. Lead Installer complies with local noise abatement d. Installer Holds Crew Meeting Prior to Work Commencement i. Cover safety procedures, requirements and emergency phone numbers, and any other special project requirements. ii. The Installer is responsible for assigning work tasks involving equipment to crew members who are properly trained in the safe handling of the equipment. Crew members should be instructed in the safe handling of materials and equipment. Crew members should be instructed not to handle certain materials and equipment unless directly instructed to do so by the Installer. iii. Review any special events (for example: change orders; problems with delivery, quality, workforce or equipment, etc.; accidents) that need to be handled. Any problems handled verbally with a third party should be documented in a letter/transmittal to that third party and a copy of the communication sent to the Project Manager. e. Requirements i. A valid driver’s license is needed for anyone driving a vehicle on any site. ii. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is required. iii. Proper dust masks are suggested. iv. Certification on all rental equipment. v. First Aid/ Safety Certifications required. 3. Rental Equipment Installer assesses equipment needs based on scope of installation work, reserves rental equipment and creates equipment rental schedule. a. Installer is responsible for confirming equipment delivery dates with rental agent and/or adjusting equipment delivery dates based on any installation schedule changes communicated by the Installation Manager. b. Ensure that crew is certified in the use of rental equipment, this can be done through the rental company. This will ensure a safe work area. The installer is responsible for track protection as well as any areas traveled on or across during installation. It is especially important to provide protection from dumpsters in the form of a wooden barrier between the legs and the surface they rest on. 4. Material Review a. Check Materials Sent vs. Recipe i. Compare the amount of sand sent to the recipe amount, review the amount of sand sent in the mandate to the infill recipe for sand. Bring any discrepancy to the Project Administrator’s attention. ii. Compare the amount of rubber sent to the recipe amount. Review the amount of rubber sent by sieve size and type (for example: 10-14, 14-30, cryogenic vs. ambient) in the mandate to the infill recipe for rubber. Bring any discrepancy to the Project Administrator’s attention. iii. When the Roll Layout section of FieldTurf Installer Mandate is available, check the following: 1. Check square footage of carpet ordered to ensure the proper amount is received. 2. Check to ensure that the entire field surface is covered by a roll per the layout. If a section is not covered, check to see if FieldTurf has made a note on the layout that the section is to be covered with extra material from another panel. For indoor fields for example, ensure there is enough additional carpet to cover all playing surfaces, including goal areas. Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 5 BUILDING THE PERFECT FIELD 3. Also check what unused turf pieces are salvageable (at least 15’ by 15’). If any are salvageable, notate those pieces clearly on the roll layout and mark the roll layout sheet with the words “Save these Pieces”. 4. Bring any discrepancy to the Project Administrator’s attention. i. Documents to be provided with every close out job package. b. Review Special Field Markings from Work Order i. Inlaid/Tufted Fields 1. For inlaid lines or logo or both, review FieldTurf installer mandate roll layout to ensure that all inlaid markings on the roll layout are consistent with the details of the field markings sheet and that the inlaid markings on the field marking sheet are also shown on the roll layout. Bring any discrepancy to the Project Administrator’s attention. c. Review any Special Instructions concerning “Head Seam” Construction i. Note if Mandate calls for head seams to be sewn or glued. If the Work Order does not specify whether the head seams should be sewn or glued, the installer will have discretion to sew or glue. d. Note Any Special Delivery / Work Hours Note any special delivery routes through neighboring towns paying particular attention to weight restrictions. Note any special working hours or days of the week and if extended hours (night) are allowed. Ensure that the detailed installation plan takes these constraints into consider- ation. 5. Field Layout a. Use Critical Starting Points from mandate to map out the field. i. Locate and stake the center of the field. ii. Locate the centerline points on the sides of the field. Mark these points either with permanent marker on the concrete curbing if available or use spikes or nails. iii. Locate the four corners of the field and extend the perimeter lines going through those points to the curbing and mark the curbing or use spikes or nails. iv. Locate the centerline, end lines, and sidelines or any other important points and spray paint. v. If baseball or softball field, ensure marking for foul lines and bases are indicated. b. Confirm Critical Starting Points i. If the general contractor or engineer has given the critical starting points, confirm their measurements before initiating roll layout. Bring any discrepancy regarding starting points to the general contractor or engineer before proceeding. If not resolved in a timely fashion, contact the Project Administrator. c. Mark Panel Locations i. When laying out the sidelines, mark the correct location of each panel by using spray paint with the appropriate panel numbers. ii. Verify FieldTurf limits. Never assume marking provided is correct, ensure these are verified by the installer. d. String Lining Base i. The Installer will string line the entire base, this should be done with the CM or GC. The field should be split in 1/2 and should be stringed every 6’ from curb to crown. Follow what is outlined in the project specification. If none was provided, tolerance is 1/4” in 10’. If there is a discrepancy, indicate by spray painting 0 if area is low and + if area is high. These will need to be taken care of by the GC prior to installation. ii. Ensure to follow GC grade pattern on fields with multiple grade plans. iii. Ensure pictures are taken to avoid later blame. Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 6 FIELDTURF INSTALL S.O.P. MANUAL BASEBALL 1. Set string line on both 1st base foul line and 3rd base foul line from the apex point of homeplate to outside of foul poles in out- field (this gives perimeter and square of baseball field). 2. All other measurements are based upon these perimeter points. Foul Pole Foul Line Apex at Home Base Foul Line Foul Pole SOCCER 1. Set nail in nailer board at center of each end of field, splitting difference from sideline to sideline. Attach stringline from nail to nail up center of field (if permanent Soccer anchors are installed in base, use those to establish center point). 2. Find the center of field by measuring between center nails from end to end, set spike nail. 3. Use “3,4,5” method to square from center spike nail to establish center line (see 3,4,5 method in the diagram). Run string through square points to nailer board, set nails to establish center line of field. 4. Establish sidelines by measuring half of the distance shown on the mandate (Soccer fields vary in measurement), left, and right from center nail set nails in nailer board on both ends of field to establish 4 corners of field. String and paint sidelines. 5. Establish goal lines by setting nails in nailer boards half the total distance from the center line nail end to end on both sides. FOOTBALL 1. Set up stringline from center of goal posts (set nails in nailer board behind goal posts). 2. Locate and mark center of field between goal posts using a spike nail (this establishes the center point on the 50 Yard line). 3. Use “3,4,5” method to square from center spike nail to establish 50 yard line side to side (measure 60 feet from center spike nail towards either goal post, mark position with spike nail). Measure 80 feet from center spike nail towards left and right sidelines, use second tape to measure 100 feet from established 60 foot spike nail, where the tapes cross mark with spike nail. Run string through square points to nailer board, set nails to establish 50 yard line. 4. Establish sidelines by measuring 80 feet left, and right from center nail behind goal posts, set nails in nailer board on both ends of field to establish 4 corners of field. String and paint sidelines. 5. Establish endzone lines by setting nails in nailer boards180 feet from 50 yard line nail end to end on both sides. e. String Lining examples specific to field 5.

Arrival of Materials There are steps to ensuring proper receipt of materials. First, ensure that the product and quantity are the same as in the mandate. Then make sure the product and quantity received matches the bill of lading. When the bill of lading reaches FieldTurf, it will be used to match to the invoice. a. Arrival of Carpet i. The Installer will have scheduled the timing of the delivery of the carpet. ii. Check the fiber height. Uncover a portion of the first roll immediately after it comes off the truck and measure the pile height and compare to the mandate product pile height. If there is a discrepancy, immediately contact the Project Administrator. iii. Match the bill of lading to the carpet ordered. There are a series of numbers that will match the bill of lading to the numbers on a label attached to the carpet. As each roll comes off the trailer, put a checkmark next to the corresponding roll on the bill of lading. Number each roll with spray paint – ensure that this number corresponds to the roll layout. If available, unload the carpet next to the field, preferably on the visitor’s sideline, and line up the carpet rolls according to the roll layout. If field access is not available, stack carpet rolls in the designated staging area. Do not stack the carpet more than two rolls high. Stack rolls so that the spray-painted numbers face the field regardless of where the carpet is stored. iv. Make note of any discrepancy on the bill of lading, have the trucker initial the change on the bill of lading, and call the Project Administrator immediately. Discrepancies may include: 1. a carpet tag indicating an incorrect project location; 2. any item (carpet rolls, backing, glue, etc.) listed on bill of lading and not delivered or any quantity delivered other that specified on bill of lading; and 3. obvious damage to any item. b. Arrival of Rubber i. Use sieve cans to ensure rubber is in conformance. Installers are responsible for material Quality Control prior to installation. ii. The location of the rubber bags is crucial. Ideally, bags should be stored in the staging area and not moved a second time. iii. If 10-14, 14-30 rubber is to be used at the same site, mark the side of the bags that face the forklift with the corresponding sieve size with spray paint. Group sieve sizes together. c. Arrival of Sand i. Use sieve cans to ensure sand is in conformance. Installers are responsible for material Quality Control prior to installation. ii. Bagged Sand 1. Match the number of bags on the bill of lading to the mandate. Then match the number of bags delivered to the bill of lading. Note any shortages or overages on the bill of lading and call any discrepancy to the attention of the Project Administrator. Notate the number of damaged bags, take photos and forward to FieldTurf. 2. Store this in the same area as the rubber. If inclement weather is expected, cover sand bags with secured tarp(s). iii. Bulk Sand 1. Bulk sand should be unloaded in the predetermined staging area where the mixing or the loading of the top dresser / spreader will occur. This area should be kept clean of contaminants. Keep the sand dry at all times – use secured tarps if necessary. 2. Note the tonnage of sand received on each truck. Keep a running tally of the tonnage of bulk sand and note any discrepancies to the sand tonnage in the mandate and call any discrepancy to the attention of the Project Administrator. 3. Make sure there is drainage protection around sand. d. Special Deliveries i. Make sure the bill of lading matches the number of pieces being delivered. Call any discrepancy to the attention of the Project Administrator. Check maintenance equipment for damages upon delivery. Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 8 FIELDTURF INSTALL S.O.P. MANUAL 7. Assemble Field a. Layout Panels and Sew. i. Roll out the first center panel green side up. Make sure the panel number on the roll matches the panel number on the roll layout for the side of the centerline that you begin with. Start unrolling the first roll. ii. To ensure that the inlaid lines are 15 feet (measured from center fiber row from mid field to center fiber row of the yard line being measured) apart, the actual distance to check before sewing a panel is 14’ - 11 1/4” – this leaves ¾” for the seam to be placed. The panel must be verified in 5 locations. Measure twice and sew once. iii. Roll out second panel green side down. Make sure panel is measured to ensure proper width. Ensure carpet pile is running in the same direction. iv. Using sewer’s discretion panel must be lined up properly to ensure a good sew. Make sure flap is free of stone or debris. v. Both cart and hand held sewing are acceptable. vi. Installer must review spec to verify if single stitch is required. vii. Sewn seam must be no more than 3/4” above first stitch +/- 1/4”. viii. Prior to flipping panel the base may need to be raked, panel must be flipped ensuring base is not disrupted in any way and seam must be rolled using leap frog method and a 2 ton roller. ix. All panels must be stretched to ensure panel is tight with no slack. x. Once two panels have been sewn these should now be anchored 12” from white line on both sides. All spikes need to be identified to ensure later removal. xi. Continue rolling out and sewing panels. xii. Constant measuring of field with a steel tape measure must be done. xiii. If the field requires additional sideline panels, trim interior panels to size, sheep shear, sew head seam, and sew sideline panels. If head seam is to be glued, glue the head seam after sewing the sideline panels. The Installer will follow the specs instructions, if any, regarding sewing or gluing head seams. If no special instructions are given in the specs, the Installer has discretion to sew or glue head seams. xiv. At the end of each working day, all panels must be weighed down and secured. Use sand bags, turf rolls, rubber bags, etc. b. Field Specifics i. Center Logo 1. Note finish dimension of logo from Mandate and/or special site plans. Make sure the logo delivered matches the logo on the Mandate/Site Plans including dimensions, colors, font, general shape and design. 2. Ensure a copy of the lay-outs is constantly on site during install. 3. Make sure the logo faces the specified direction from the drawings or plans (if not available, check with site supervisor). 4. Double check the backing of the logo to make sure seaming edge is bare (should have 2”) for proper installation. Note any defects. 5. Once the logo has been properly set per mandate/site plans, the logo must be signed off by the customer to ensure quality customer service. Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 9 BUILDING THE PERFECT FIELD 6. Shearing or cutting out are both acceptable. When shearing out the logo, it is preferred to keep a 4” edge for the gluing process. To ensure the placement of the logo, you must nail it down to avoid any drastic movement during shearing and cleaning up loose fiber. Note: you may cut out the logo if you choose to as long as a 4” flap is kept to glue logo to. 7. The tolerance between all inlays is no more than 1/2”. In other words there should be no gap larger than 1/2” between any glued inlay. 8. Begin gluing the logo. Be sure to push the glue to the very edge of the logo. Do not pass the edge of the logo as this will cause fiber melting. Periodically check the edges to ensure proper bonding. ii. End zone Logo 1. Same as the center logo directions above. Make sure each letter matches mandate specifics regarding color, size, direction, etc. 2. Cut the colored carpet to fit the drawn lines and glue the logo following the previous directions. There should be no gap larger than 1/2” between the colored carpets. iii. Other Logo or Special markings 1. Proceed as with other logos. iv. Inlaid Lines- Sport specific 1. Refer to the lay-out to determine what sport and color and type of lines to inlay. Keep in mind the dominant sports’ rule of thumb: Field hockey uses 3” width lines while baseball, softball, soccer, football, lacrosse, and rugby use 4” width lines. 2. ALWAYS refer to lay-out for proper field dimensions and line widths. Measurements may be different than previous fields. 3. When shearing against the grain you must use a C Channel following your string line to ensure proper shearing and gluing. 4. Ensure the grain line of carpet is going in the same direction as the rest of the field. 5. Ensure the colored carpet being used for the lines is the same height as the rest of the field. There should be no gap larger than 1/2” between the colored carpets. 6. Shearing and gluing process is the same as all glued inlays. v. Inlaid Numbers & Arrows 1. Refer to lay-out for proper field dimensions and/or colors. 2. Ensure the colored carpet being used for the numbers and arrows is the same height as the rest of the field. 3. Ensure the numbers’ and arrows’ grain of carpet is in the same direction as the rest of the field. There should be no gap larger than 1/2” between the colored carpets. 4. When cutting numbers and/or arrows, center templates on the back of the stock roll to ensure that the edges of the templates are to be cut in between stitch rows. 5. When shearing out each number, using a stencil for quality, you should keep the shears tight to the edge of the stencil to ensure a 1/2” or less glue gap. 6. When cutting a number out using a stencil, it is best practice to keep each cut tight to one another and to always cut each number individually. Do not use paint to trace stencils since the paint oils cause difficult glue transitions. 7. It is best for the field and glue seams to use sand to keep the turf from being embedded in the glue. vi. Inlaid Hash Marks 1. Shearing is the approved method. Cutting of field should be limited. All sheared fibers must be picked up. 2. Refer to lay-out for proper field dimensions. Measurements and dimensions vary between high school, college, and professional sports. 3. Straight edge or guide must be used to ensure accuracy while shearing. 4. Ensure the colored carpet being used for the hash marks is the same height as the rest of the field. 5. Ensure the hash marks’ grain of carpet is in the same direction as the rest of the field. There should be no gap larger than 1/2” between the colored carpets. 6. While gluing hash marks and soccer, lacrosse, football extensions, etc. you must use enough glue to cover the entire inlay. vii. Shearing 1. When you shear out bits or rows, make sure you put the same number of bits or rows back in! It is ok to shear out either 5 bits replaced with 5 bits, or 4 bits replaced with 4 bits. 2. When shearing use “3-in-1” from Home Depot or similar product and apply before shearing begins then as needed to keep the shears running properly. WD 40 is not a proper lubricant. 3. After every shear the sheared fiber must be cleaned up prior to gluing. Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 10 FIELDTURF INSTALL S.O.P. MANUAL viii. Gluing Setup Instructions 1. Proper safety shall be taken during gluing process. Ensure a safety burn kit and eye wash kit are on site. Make sure proper PPE is supplied (knee pads, certified eye and hand protection, long sleeve shirt). Equipment be in compliance with OSHA requirements. 2. Each individual glue team must be equipped with working and calibrated infrared heat temperature sensor. This should be used at all times during the gluing process. 3. Confirm glue machine is clear of any debris prior to start of project. Contaminates can have an adverse impact on the performance of the chemistry of the glue. 4. Optimal glue machine pot temperature in typical ambient conditions (air temp: 600-950F) should be set to 3400F with the nozzle or applicator temperature set to 3200F. 5. In situations of abnormally extreme conditions (very warm or very cool), pot and nozzle temperature may be adjusted in +/-100F increments at the discretion and judgment of the installer but should never be set below or above min/max set point temperatures (see range below). Min/Max Set Temperatures a. Optimal puddle temperature at the time the inlay is placed and set is 2950F. b. Absolute minimum temperature an inlay will set correctly is 2500F. c. Maximum pot temperature should under no circumstances exceed 3800F. 6. Using glue gun nozzle, apply in a 4”x12” pattern along the perimeter of the sheared section in a rectangular box then immediately fill box with glue. Ideal application rate is 0.66lbs/sq.ft. 7. Measure puddle temperature with thermal IR gun and confirm it at or near optimum temperature prior to setting inlay. 8. Place inlay down and using fingers, set the 4x12” section. Continue to verify puddle temperature does not deviate from min/max range (max time available to set will vary depending on air temperature and ambient conditions). 9. Roll the inlay with hands. Ensure glue has been pushed firmly and has come up and over the edge of the inlay a minimum of 1/8”. This is crucial to verify a proper bond will hold for the life of the installation and prevent infill infiltration. 10. If necessary, place angle irons to hold down edges upon completion of the rolling process. This should be done no more than 10min after inlay has been set. Additionally, apply a thin 1/8” application sand to assist in holding down the inlay while preventing trapped fibers. 11. Next day, once inlay has correctly cooled, perform a serious of pull tests by gradually tug on the inlays at random location to ensure adhesion. This should be performed prior to infill. The optimum pull strength is 5-15lb-f/in. Application Process Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 11 BUILDING THE PERFECT FIELD INFILLING 8. Infill Process a. Apply Layered or Mixed Infill i. Tape off slot drains to prevent contamination. ii. The recipe that comes with the Mandate recommends mixing the infill prior to infilling. Determine the required mixing amounts of sand and rubber and proceed with mixing. iii. Ensure that mixed infill is not contaminated during mixing and kept dry. The mix must be uniform to avoid an uneven playing surface. iv. There are instances where mixing is not an option. When layering is required, it must be done in a uniform manner to avoid an uneven playing surface. Be sure to follow mandate specified layer application as this is project specific. v. 1 pound [1/8”] of sand must be at the bottom of every FieldTurf field per square foot; normally two layers/passes. vi. Ensure entrance to field is protected by a layer of Mirafi filter fabric (min 5 millimeters), salvaged Turf, and finally plywood (in that order). INFILLING THE FIELDTURF SURFACE Preparing the fiber Prepare the field for the application of the first layer of sand infill by brush- ing up the grass fibers. This process can be done with several passes of a “LayMor” rotary brush unit or a similar approved rotary brush unit, or the Groomer Model HD-15 unit. It is important to “brush up” the grass fibers in order to assure the proper application of the first layer of sand infill. By rotating the brush against the direction of the laid down grass fibers, drive the LayMor unit slowly backwards in the same direction as the laid down grass fibers. This will allow the rotating brush to “pick-up” the fibers from the carpet backing without fibrillating the grass fibers. Once the grass fibers have been brushed at least twice and properly picked up, the field will be ready to accept the first layer of sand infill APPLYING THE 1ST LAYER OF SAND INFILL • On Slitfilm applications, load the spreader unit with the designated sand infill, setting the feed to the light application setting. The spreader should be driven at medium speeds. The spreader will evenly distribute the sand infill in thin layers to avoid “matting down” the grass fibers.• The spreader should be driven up and down the field in a straight line without leaving a space or an overlap between passes, the marks on the field may serve as a guideline to ensure this.• LayMor unit or approved rotary brush machinery should be operated after the spreader in order to ensure that the sand infill is evenly distributed over the entire surface. Note: An all poly brush must be used. ‘50/50’, half poly/half steel, is not approved for use. • On a Slitfilm field, when operating the LayMor unit, caution should be taken to not rotate the brush excessively to avoid fibrillating the grass fibers.

MANUAL PLACING INFILL MATERIALS APPLYING INTERMEDIATE LAYERS OF INFILL • Once the infill has been placed on the field, operate the LayMor rotating brush to even out and brush the infill into the grass fibers.• The following operating process should be practiced when applying the infill; - When applying the first 25% to 50% of the total sand and rubber infill, rotate the brush of the LayMor unit against the direction of the laid down grass fibers while driving the LayMor unit backwards in the same direction as the laid down grass fibers. - This will avoid the fibers from being twisted together. Should the grass fibers be twisted, it will result in an uneven distribution of the infill between the fibers thus creating voids and causing more settlement of the infill. - Depending on production factors and climatic conditions, the grass fibers may be straightened up before 50% of the infill has been applied.• It is important to alternate the direction of the infill operation between layers of applied blended infill. However, this is only after 50% of the infill has been applied.• The depth of the layers of the applied infill should be monitored constantly in order to control the overall depth of the infill and avoid overfilling.• High spots may appear resulting in an uneven distribution of the infill. Additional grooming will be necessary to ensure an even field surface.• After rolling use water system on LayMor to decrease static and help settle the FieldTurf field. FINAL GRADE • The final grade (level) of the infill should be verified prior to applying the final layer of the all-rubber infill, this could be done by practicing the following: - Take constant depth readings of the layers of the placed infill. A minimum of twenty (20) readings should be taken across the field in order to identify high and low spots on the field. - The rotating nylon bristle brush of the LayMor unit should be perfectly level, be in good condition, and clean of any stains or debris. - The rotating brush should always be set a ½” below the field surface. Prevent the rotating brush from sagging and dropping down beyond the field surface. Once the rotating brush has been set hydraulically at the correct level, lock the brush in place to prevent possible vertical displacement of the brush. • As the LayMor unit is driven around the field a slight amount of the infill will be displaced indicating that the required level of the infill has been reached. Existing high and low spots will be evened out. This operation should be continued at a slow to medium pace, crisscrossing the entire field in both directions until the infill is evenly distributed throughout the entire field. • It is imperative to ensure that the infill is evenly distributed and at the required level throughout the entire field prior to applying the last layer of the all rubber infill. There are no exceptions to this procedure to ensure the superior performance and drainage characteristics of the FieldTurf field.

No exceptions.• It is important to avoid the buildup of static electricity since particles of the rubber will migrate to the tips of the exposed grass, resulting in the blackening of the field. A drag brush equipped with nylon brushes will generate static electricity. To eliminate this, lightly sprinkle the field with a fine mist of water after placing the infill. Morning dew will also help dissipate static electricity.• If the LayMor unit is being used for infill application, fill the LayMor tank with water only and spray a mist of water over the entire field as the LayMor is being displaced. This will also help eliminate the build-up of static electricity. CAUTION • Once you have “dropped” the final layer of rubber on the surface, there is no need to have the rotating brush rotate on the field. All that is required now is to drive the “LayMor”, put the brush at an angle but not rotating, with the brush just lying flat on the field. The brush will turn slightly as you drive around but it will agitate the fibers just enough to allow the infill to drop in between the fibers as it should. This could also be done with a drag brush, preferably a drag brush with natural bristles, in order to not create static all over the field. However, should you have a drag brush with a nylon or plastic bristle, it will most probably create static. The remedy to that is to spray the field with water after you are done or let the morning dew eliminate the static. This will allow the final layer of rubber to drop between the fibers. 9. Perimeter Attachment The perimeter is normally attached after sewing. a. Staples vs. Roofing Nails vs. Glue i. Glue is used when the edge detail is concrete or asphalt. This can either be troweled or sprayed, surface must be clean. Staples work very well with recycled curbing or pressure treated wood. If using roofing nails with recycled curbing, the nail length should be no more than 3/4”. Longer nails take more pressure than the nailing gun and hoses can sustain. There is no compromise in the strength of using 1” nails versus longer nails. Nails and staples must be installed every 4” unless otherwise specified. ii. Review spec to ensure proper method has been approved. iii. Always use non-corrosive nails or staples. b. Trimming Excess Carpet i. Before any carpet is attached to the curbing or edge detail, it must be trimmed. As with the fibers of the carpet, the distance between the carpet end and the edge detail should not exceed 1/2”. In contrast, the carpet should never touch the edge detail if this detail is the recycled curbing or a similar shelf product. If the carpet touches the curbing, the fibers will bend and point towards the field making these fibers seem longer and thus will need trimming. c. Attach Carpet to Curb i. If there seems to be a little slack in the carpet, use carpet kickers to tighten before fastening the carpet to the curb. Attaching the carpet to the curbing normally takes place when there is enough weight on the carpet to prevent it from shifting – the half-way point in the infill process is a good guide to do so.

Perform double ring infiltrometer on the base/flood test to ensure the base can accept at minimum 28 inches/hour. 2. Evaluate the slope of the field – if it is less than or equal to 0.5%, that is acceptable. 3. Review the base and site to ensure the field is not designed to “sheet drain”. 4. Determine whether any water flow is being directed onto the field by design. If yes, PureFill needs to be re‐evaluated. PART 2 – Installation of CoolPlay Topdressing 1. Level the sand layer prior to installation of the CoolPlay granule. 2. Apply the CoolPlay layer and ensure field is leveled prior to applying surfactant. 3. Dilute the Beynon surfactant into water to recommended dilution rates and apply to the infill. 4. With a boomsprayer or a water truck, apply water to the fully infilled field with some pressure to settle the infill. Dilution Rate Amounts to use per field – dilution rate for maximum effectiveness is currently 1 part surfactant to 100 parts water (1:100). This works out to approximately 0.93 gallons for an 85,000 ft2 field. It will need to be applied with a boom sprayer and we have assumed a coverage rate (per diluted litre) of ~240 ft2.

EVERY 4-6 WEEKS Brushing Rejuvenates the matted fibers and levels the top portion of the infill. EVERY 4-6 WEEKS TOW VEHICLES: The minimum requirement to pull groomers and sweepers should be vehicles that have at least 20HP and be equipped with Turf tires. Vehicles should not exceed 70 PSI / 10,080 PSF of pressure on the Turf/Base system. Hydraulic capabilities are not necessary with any of FieldTurf’s current Groomers or Sweepers as all are mechanically driven. SETTING SWEEPERS: When setting Sweepers for use, make sure that the brushes never penetrate the infill. Proper removal of debris will only require the brushes to penetrate the top of the fibers. SETTING GROOMERS: When setting the Groomer components for use, the rotating tines should penetrate the infill by 3/4”. The rakes should penetrate the infill by 1/2”. The brushes should not penetrate the infill. N.B. If you are subscribed to a Field Care Program, please consult your Field Care Manager for recommended grooming frequencies. Grooming systems equipped with internal/external rotary brushes should be limited to frequencies of 2-3 times per year. INSPECT LINES & MARKINGS It is important to notify our Customer Service department if any line markings or seams come apart. AS NEEDED SNOW REMOVAL If you need to remove snow from your field, adhering to proper guidelines is vital. (See page 38) AS NEEDED INFILL TOPDRESSING Adding rubber to the top layer of infill may be necessary in high traffic areas. AS NEEDED FIELD COVERING Use FieldTurf Armour protection systems for any events that require field covering and vehicle access. (See page 23-28) OTHER NECESSARY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES SHOULD BE DONE PERIODICALLY AND ACCORDING TO USAGE. THERE ARE 4 BASIC MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS THAT ALL FIELDTURF FIELDS REQUIRE ACCORDING TO OUR RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. WE SIMPLY CALL IT BARS BRUSHING, AERATING, RAKING AND SWEEPING. A SUMMARY OF THE STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE RAKING BRUSHING Aerating Rotating tines are designed to penetrate and loosen the infill to avoid minor compaction. MAXIMUM 3 TIMES/YEAR (BEGINNING 2ND YEAR) Sweeping A clean field ensures that foreign material or debris does not get into the infill. AS NEEDED SWEEPING AERATING Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES 8 9 KEY FACTS ABOUT FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT IMPROPER USE CAN DAMAGE YOUR EQUIPMENT AND YOUR FIELD. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING KEY FACTS: • Make sure all equipment is clean before entering the field • Do not operate any equipment until it is on the field • Do not operate any equipment while in a stationary position • Always turn off equipment just before stopping • When sweeping, check your collector basket immediately after starting and do so often • Collecting too much rubber while sweeping will indicate improper settings • Pay special attention to high traffic areas, where the fibers and infill levels may be different from other parts of the field, and adjust your settings accordingly. As with any equipment, always read the manual before operating. DIRECTION OF OPERATION This diagram indicates the ideal method of operation for all FieldTurf machines and BARS procedures. Starting on the sidelines at the edge of the center of the field, cross the field from one side to the other in a straight line. Then go down the sidelines 25 yards and cross the field again to the other side. Next, go up the field 20 yards and cross the field again. Repeat this procedure from the center to both ends of the field until the grooming is complete. Rotating start position and end direction is recommended. The last passes should be end to end on the side panels. FOOTBALL SOCCER BASEBALL • Football • Field Hockey • Baseball/Softball • Lacrosse • Soccer • Rugby • Physical Education • Pedestrian traffic • Graduation • Concerts • Events • Outdoor Ice Hockey Games PROHIBITIONS Your FieldTurf field should be kept free from food, gum, sunflower seeds, glass, cigarettes, fireworks, driving stakes and any sharp objects that will risk damage to the field and injury to players. Your field should also be kept free from debris, leaves, paper and windblown material. It is imperative that your FieldTurf field be a designated non-smoking area. Unauthorized maintenance equipment and personnel are prohibited. FIELDTURF SUPPLIES ITS CLIENTS WITH 2 COMPLIMENTARY SIGNS TO HANG AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE FIELD AND AROUND THE PERIMETER IN ORDER TO CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THE MAJOR PROHIBITIONS ON FIELDTURF. APPROVED ACTIVITIES OUR FIELDTURF SURFACE HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR THE FOLLOWING APPROVED AND PERMITTED ACTIVITIES, IN ADDITION TO A WIDE RANGE OF NON-SPORTING ACTIVITIES: Athletics such as shot put, hammer throw, discus and even javelin (fitted with a rubber tip), can be occasionally performed on FieldTurf. Ideally, the landing area should be outside the playing area but if unavoidable the field should be covered with alternative covering to prevent damage to the FieldTurf surface. To insure optimum performance of your FieldTurf field we recommend that repetitive training drills and activities be rotated to prevent continuous wear at a single location. Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES 10 11 FieldTurf has developed ideal covering systems that are suitable for all types of events, including Graduation ceremonies, called the FieldTurf Armour systems (Pages 23-28). A request for Information/Pricing can be obtained by visiting www.fieldturf.com Though it is always preferable to cover the Surface as shown in the Guidelines, budgets permitting, many have held this event without covering the main area of the field itself. If the field is new, less than 6 months old, conditions might be different than with a mature field. Since Graduation events are traditionally held in the spring, depending on climactic conditions, the field might get a chance to “weather” through the winter months, so it will be important to test the chairs on the surface, as indicated below, if it is chosen not to cover that area of the field. Though post chairs will generally not damage the surface, they do tend to sink a bit; a quick test will show you the end result. If post chairs are used without a Field covering however, those equipped with rubber stoppers are a must. The chairs should only create small “Divot” holes that should generally disappear when the field is groomed after the event. Again, testing the end results off the main field of play is always recommended. Two examples: FieldTurf Armour turf protection systems are in use worldwide at prestigious arenas and stadiums and have proven themselves through extensive use. Whether you are having a large concert or a small on-field gathering, FieldTurf Armour will protect your turf against damage and keep your visitors safe and comfortable. Increase revenue and flexibility and open your building to trade shows, concerts, corporate events, graduations and anything else you can conceive of. We have the experience, the expertise and the range of products to satisfy nearly any flooring requirement. You can install chairs, staging and other equipment without damage. Drive forklifts, move carts and place equipment easily on artificial turf, running tracks and other sensitive surfaces. All of our systems are interlocking, modular, expandable, and allow for unique configurations and customized layouts. FieldTurf Armour is easy to install, dismantle and store. Sections can be installed quickly and are designed for regular and repeated use. GRADUATION GUIDELINES Chairs with “Full contact to the surface” are ideal, if available. An example: Depending on the final set-up, ladies will find heels very difficult to walk in. Many have recommended that the ladies either wear/or bring “Flats” for their own comfort. Another option to full covering would be to cover the aisles with recommended covering or plywood, then conventional carpeting over the top. It will be imperative, however, to cover the area under the staging. Either a recommended covering (i.e. FieldTurf Armour), the Equivalent protection using similar systems or 4’ X 8’ (3/4”) plywood sheets which can be doubled or tripled, as required, under the stage footings. The thickness used will depend on the PSI that exceeds the allowable 70 PSI / 10,080 PSF (as indicated in the “Vehicle Circulation” guidelines (Page 39). A tarp or plastic covering underneath should be used to avoid splinters getting into the grass. It should be noted that your FieldTurf warranty covers the components and Installation of your FieldTurf product. Though all efforts are made to provide appropriate directives for the staging of events other than the sporting activities set out in the warranty, the responsibility remains on the owner for any mishaps or damages that might occur; however no breach in warranty exists with the staging of such events. A thorough grooming is recommended after the event. (See pages 40-41 if assistance is needed.)

All equipment or vehicles used on FieldTurf must be equipped with turf tires. Equipment must be stored indoors or outdoors with proper covering, such as a tarp. The list of approved maintenance equipment includes the FieldTurf GroomRight, the FieldTurf GroomRight Wings, the FieldTurf SweepRight, the FieldTurf SweepRight Pro and the FieldTurf Tow Behind Magnet. Please be aware that “off the shelf” maintenance equipment can damage your field. If you are unsure if your maintenance equipment is allowable or prohibited, please contact the FieldTurf Customer Service Department. NOTE: Sweeping of the field must be done right after any other maintenance procedure to prevent any foreign material from settling into the infill before usage. SETTING: When setting the FieldTurf GroomRight for use, the rotating tines should penetrate the infill by ¾”. The rakes should penetrate the infill by ½”. The brushes should not penetrate the infill. • FREQUENCY: - Raking: 4 - 6 weeks - Brushing: 4 - 6 weeks - Aerating: Maximum of 3 times / year, ideally after every sport season and after snow clearing, if applicable (beginning in 2nd year) • RECOMMENDED VEHICLE: Small garden tractor, gator or larger vehicle, minimum 20HP, equipped with Turf Tires • SPEED: 3 MPH – always make wide turns FIELDTURF GROOMRIGHT The FieldTurf GroomRight is the turf industry’s most efficient piece of maintenance equipment. It consists of multiple brushes, rakes and rotating tines. Each of these components can be used individually or all together. The aerating component features rotating tines located at the center of the unit, to loosen the infill without damage to the fibers. The brushing and raking components are designed to level the infill while at the same time rejuvenating fibers. RakingBrushingAerating ROUTINE MAINTENANCE REMOVAL OF WEEDS AND MOSS FieldTurf’s superior artificial grass surfaces may look like grass, feel like grass and play like grass; however, if not properly maintained, much like its natural grass cousin, it may still become susceptible to some of grass lovers’ natural foes: weeds and moss. It is important to prevent weeds and moss from growing on FieldTurf as it can affect the playability of the surface. Although routine maintenance will prevent this from happening, weeds and/or moss may occur at the interface between the synthetic grass and the perimeter curb. Should this occur, spray the area with a biodegradable weed killer or remove the the weeds by hand or with a 3-prong tool. MAINTENANCE CARE PRODUCTS SHOE CLEANING Cleaning mud and dirt from cleated shoes with the use of brushes or cleat cleaners placed near the field will prevent soiling and staining of the field surface. • Cleaning tools should not be placed directly on the FieldTurf surface. • Various models are available online or in most sports stores. Emergency Repair KitDepth Gauge MOSS COULD GROW ON THE FIELD SURFACE IF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT: • The field surface has not been maintained or groomed over a long period of time. • If there is an unusual amount of shade on the field and the field has been neglected. • If the field surface has been left covered with vinyl tarps over a long period of time. • If there is sufficient moisture and any/all other conditions for growth are met.

N.B. The sweeper baskets should be monitored/ emptied periodically to avoid Infill accumulation mixed with the debris. FIELDTURF SWEEPRIGHT FieldTurf SweepRight is a mechanically driven unit designed to remove larger fallen debris from the FieldTurf surface, and it is the most economical and efficient machine for sweeping. Debris should always be removed as soon as possible. The system also features a mesh plate to facilitate debris pick-up and re-distribution of the Infill back into the field. SETTING: When setting the SweepRight for use, make sure that the brushes never penetrate the infill. Proper removal of debris will only require the brushes to penetrate the top of the fibers. • Frequency: As needed • Recommended Vehicle: Small garden tractor, gator or larger vehicle, minimum 20HP, equipped with Turf Tires • Speed: 3 mph – always make wide turns • Same setting for the SweepRight and SweepRight Pro.

It can also be used as a spot degreaser and deodorizer. HOW TO USE: STEP 1: Using a 1.5-2 inch wide Metal putty knife, isolate the gum with the attached turf fibers by placing the end of the knife at the base of the affected fiber at a 45 degree angle. Push the fibers with the attached gum onto the knife. STEP 2: Saturate a small area of a clean white terry rag with FGR and apply to the gum resting on the knife surface. Let the solvent penetrate for 1 to 2 minutes to soften the gum, leaving the rag in place. DO NOT POUR FGR DIRECTLY ON THE GUM, AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE INFILL AND AFFECT THE BACKING. STEP 3: Holding the knife firmly (taking care not to cut the fibers), gently rub the gum up the putty knife surface toward the handle. This will remove the gum from the FieldTurf surface.1L FIELDTURF SCRUB DETERGENT FieldTurf Scrub is a powerful turf optimized cleaner, conditioner and sanitizer, which can be used for removal of grease and oil, and is chemically formulated to be compatible with other FieldTurf treatment products, such as liquid static conditioners. Its proprietary surfactant system will also assist in keeping surface drainage at optimum levels. FieldScrub can also be used in an emergency situation to help clean up bodily fluids. It may also be used to clean and decontaminate surrounding surfaces, such as benches, equipment, and other items. FieldScrub’s Alkali-free formula is user friendly and rinses freely, leaving no harsh residues. Regular cleaning with FieldScrub alleviates the normal buildup of atmospheric residues and revitalizes the turf fibers. HOW TO USE: Dilute Fieldturf Scrub as follows in warm or cold water, and apply by brushing or spraying for spot cleaning and Industrial sprayer for entire field application. RINSE well with clean water before using the field. Suggested application rate of 1:40 will require 4 liters (1 US Gallon) to cover 10,000 square feet. • Heavy dirt, grease, equipment fluids and oil – pure to 1:4 • Light dirt, grease and oil – 1:8 • General purpose cleaning – 1:40 to 1:80 RECOMMENDED USE: Yearly for Outdoor fields. Once/Twice per year for Indoor facilities (with adequate drainage). THE FOLLOWING FIELDTURF PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE TO USE ON FIELDTURF FIELDS. 1L FIELDTURF STATIC CONDITIONER FieldTurf Static Control is specifically formulated for the effective control of electrical static buildup on artificial grass systems. The product is safe for application on FieldTurf surfaces without affecting the color and appearance of your FieldTurf field. HOW TO USE: Apply diluted as required to the surface to be treated by spray mist and allow it to dry. The suggested application rate is 850 to 1000 square feet per gallon. Reapply as necessary to maintain desired level of protection. 1 liter will make 22 US Gallons and will cover approximately 20,000 square feet. To minimize aerosol generation application pressure should be kept below 40 psi. 1L Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES 22 23 1. First and foremost, the surface should be brushed in both directions to allow the fibers to stand up. 2. Apply removing solution, either pure or diluted, depending on what type of paint you are using (only approved removers should be used based on the paint manufacturer’s recommendations – contact FieldTurf Customer Service if you are unsure). Brush in both directions, this will ensure full saturation of the grass fibers. Apply the remover a second time and let stand 10 minutes, depending on the climatic conditions. Remover will dry almost on contact in extremely hot conditions. If this is the case, removal should be attempted in short segments. 3. Use of a broom, brush or any grooming or removing equipment approved for the FieldTurf surface might be necessary. 4. Rinse the surface with clean water to remove any extra paint residue. For best results, use hot water. 5. Leave sufficient time for the surface to dry completely before allowing any activity to resume on your field. 6. The rate of removal may vary due to conditions beyond your control (type of paint, number of coats, exposure, etc). It may be necessary for a second application; if so, repeat the process in the opposite direction. 7. Some infill may be displaced. To avoid this, make sure the brushes used do not penetrate too deep into the infill. 8. Any excess paint will likely be deposited into the infill. Buildup over time will cause the infilled surface to harden. FLUSHING THE SYSTEM WITH WATER (PREFERABLY HOT) IS IMPERATIVE. 9. The use of a paint extracting unit is also very effective to prevent buildup over time. It should be noted that if the above steps are followed your FieldTurf system can be painted multiple times over its life. 10. FieldTurf cannot be responsible for any consequences due to non-compliance of the above directives. ANY SUBSEQUENT MEASURES NECESSARY TO RESTORE THE INFILLED SYSTEM BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY AND WOULD BE AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE. DIRECTIVES FOR THE REMOVAL OF LOGOS, END ZONES AND ALL FIELD MARKINGS PAINTING PAINTING ON FIELDTURF’S FIBERS Before beginning to paint on your field, it is imperative that you contact FieldTurf’s Customer Service Department for guidance on specific types of paint to use, recommended suppliers, machines, and proper PSI machine settings. It should be noted that paint buildup over time will affect paint adhesion, aesthetics and possibly drainage in those areas. It is recommended that paint removal be done approximately after every 5 applications before paint re-application is done. It will be equally important to verify the infill below the surface for paint contamination. This area should be flushed through if necessary. In severe cases, where the infill is totally covered in paint, the infill might have to be removed and replaced. BELOW IS A LIST OF PAINTING SPECIFICATIONS TYPE OF MACHINE: AIRLESS SPRAYER • 800-1000 psi for end zones, logos: tip must be handheld 18” above the surface. • 700 psi for 4” lines: tip must be held 4” above the surface. It is important to note that the pressure should be adjusted accordingly so that only the fibers are being painted and NOT the infill. Spray angle should be between 45 and 60 degrees. ANGLE TO SPRAY: 45 TO 60 DEGREES Recommended Application Temperature: above 50°F ambient (temperature should not fall below 50°F within 24 hours after the application). NUMBER OF COATS: Apply in 2 directions to cover both sides of each blade. Fibers have to be dry before recoating (depending on the climatic conditions).

Heat generated by the exhaust could singe fibers. • Ensure that the machines being used on the field are not leaking. • Typically, bases supporting your FieldTurf field are designed for a maximum load-bearing capacity of 70 pounds per square inch (70 PSI / 10,080 PSF). Vehicles circulating on your field should conform to this load-bearing capacity limit, unless your base has been specially designed to support heavier loads. Please refer to your internal design criteria to verify the maximum acceptable load your field can accommodate. • Only vehicles equipped with pneumatic rubber turf tires should be allowed to circulate directly on the field surface. • Turning of the vehicle on the surface should be done in a wide radius. • Turning of the vehicle should only be done when the vehicle is in forward motion. • All vehicles should circulate at slow speeds at all times. • Abrupt and sudden braking must be avoided. • Sudden acceleration and spinning of wheels must be avoided. • Vehicle wheels should be clean at all times to prevent mud or dirt from being deposited on the field surface. • All vehicles in direct contact with FieldTurf surfaces should be inspected for possible leakage of oil or hydraulic fluids prior to accessing the field. • In order to avoid rutting of the infill and of the underlying base, circulation of vehicles on outdoor saturated fields must be avoided. • To protect against heavy and larger sized vehicle circulation, a layer of ¾” thick plywood must be placed over a vinyl tarp covering the field to a minimum distance of 40’ to 60’ (12 to 20m) and should be installed at all entrance and exit points to the field. • Please note: The FieldTurf surface should be groomed and swept following heavy traffic. HELP In addition to these guidelines, there are three ways to get answers to any FieldTurf questions you may have: 1 – Contact our Customer Service Department at 1-877-725-TURF (8873) 2 – Please contact customer service for any hard copies needed. SNOW REMOVAL WEATHER CONDITIONS Generally, the components themselves that make up the FieldTurf system don’t freeze, but of course the moisture that seeps into the Infill does. This creates good conditions that allow you to plow snow without moving, or removing much Infill. A snow blower may also be used. One of the most important factors in Snow Removal is the temperature; the ideal climactic conditions for plowing are always below freezing (25F/-5C). Hopefully the temperature will rise above freezing during the day, and the rest of the remaining snow will melt through, especially if the sun comes out. FREQUENCY Plowing periodically during the winter months is recommended to avoid a large buildup which makes removal more tedious. DIRECTION OF OPERATION Page 20 shows the Direction of Operation for Field Grooming, which would also apply to snow removal. If restrictions prevent you from accumulation on the sidelines, then a“North/South” direction is acceptable, since in any case, a small layer of snow will be left behind. ICE MELT If chosen, even recommended de-icers should always be tested off the main field of play, to ensure the safety of the surface and the lack of residue left behind. From experience, there are some things we do know; that all Ice melt solutions can leave a residue, which might affect ball handling in football and ball reaction, such as in soccer. Footing can also be slippery, again testing all of the “factors” off the field of play before full field application is recommended. One final thought is that Mother Nature should provide plenty of rain in the spring to flush these chemicals through the system. It might be a good idea though, when the temperatures remain above freezing for 4-5 days, to water the surface to insure that no residue is left behind. OUR FIELD CARE EXPERTS ARE MORE THAN AVAILABLE AND QUALIFIED TO PERFORM THE WORK FOR YOU. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CO-ORDINATOR FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, AS WELL AS A LIST OF RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT AND MELTING COMPOUNDS THAT CAN BE SAFELY USED. LOAD BEARING Typically, the load bearing capacity of the FieldTurf system and sub-base (this should be verified with the Base Contractor) can withstand pressure up to 70 PSI / 10,080 PSF (see page 39). Factors to always consider are that if the weather temperature rises above freezing, and both the FieldTurf and base begin to thaw and are wet, then the PSI is affected by these changes in atmospheric conditions, which is no different than with a natural grass surface. It is always recommended to test the equipment first on the FieldTurf surface but off the main field of play itself. For example, on the sidelines where the panels run parallel to the field and usually no markings appear. You will also be going in the direction of the seams, so this should give you a comfort level for adjustments etc. ASSISTANCE Your Customer Service Coordinator can be contacted for assistance with snow removal via our FieldCare program (see page 22), however, if you choose not to do it yourself, they can also assist you with recommended snow removal attachments, if needed. HELPFUL DO’S AND DON’TS DO • Plow when the Temperature is below freezing • Leave a small layer of snow on the surface • Test Methods/Equipment off the main field of Play • Contact Customer Service/Field Care for Assistance if needed DON’T • Plow when the temperature is above freezing • Use non-approved melting compounds • Proceed until testing all Compounds/Components first • Use unauthorized 3rd Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES 26 27 FieldTurf’s FieldCare Maintenance Program will help you maintain performance, enhance the longevity of your field and increase the return on your investment. At each visit, certified technicians execute these 5 procedures: 1. Take multiple infill depth measurements to verify surface planarity. 2. Make minor warranted seam and inlay repairs, not to exceed eight (8) repairs. 3. Add light infill to high-traffic areas. 4. Power clean field perimeter. 5. Provide a written Pre and Post-Session field report. ADVANCED CARE Advanced Care is ideal for aged surfaces and/or fields with heavy use. It provides deep grooming and fiber rejuvenation in these 5 steps: • Deep field decompaction. • Magnet sweep for metal debris. • Rotary brushing to raise turf fibers and to deposit any contaminated infill into vibrating screen for debris collection. • Cleaned infill is then redistributed back into the field using a weighted power brush and vacuum. • Vacuuming to remove fine dust and debris from field surface. STANDARD CARE Standard Care provides the 4 basic services for debris removal, field decompaction and infill redistribution: • Sweep field for large debris. • Decompact field at appropriate depth for age of fiber and current field conditions. • Brush in multi-directions with static brush to redistribute infill. • Re-sweep the field for fine debris. CUSTOM CARE Custom Care is designed by the FieldCare Service Team to fit your specific maintenance needs. This includes 1 to 6 visits per year with a combination of Standard Care and Advanced Care maintenance, along with other custom services, which include: • Field line striping • GMAX testing • Anti-microbial spray • Anti-static spray • Infill top dressing and replenishment • Removal of clay migration • Snow plowing FIELDCARE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FIELDCARE MAINTENANCE SUMMARY REPORT NAME OF FIELD/SITE: PRE-FIELD INSPECTION NOTES BY TECHNICIAN (FROM WALKTHROUGH) POST MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN NOTES INFILL LEVELS CHECKED PRE MAINTENANCE:INFILL LEVELS CHECKED POST MAINTENANCE: Description 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 AVG Description 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 AVG Primary: Primary: The selection of test point locations will be determined by the primary sport.

CAN WE USE LIME, CHALK, OR TAPE FOR TEMPORARY LINES? The use of pulverized lime stone such as used on a natural grass field for baseball is not ideal as it tends not to stick to fibers, but simply settle into the infill. Their prolonged use tends to “gum” up the infill and could eventually affect drainage in those areas. One-time use, if time is a constraint and there are no other options, might be permitted. Please contact FieldTurf Customer Service before proceeding. Testing the chalk off the field of play is ideal, as it helps adjust your flow rates and allows you to apply as little as possible while still allowing the players and officials to see the lines. Unfortunately, all the tests and attempts that have been done with “tapes” to line fields have not been successful. They are either too tacky, risk pulling out fibers and also risk leaving a residue that has to be taken off with a gum remover or are too flimsy and risk being a tripping hazard. A chalk paint is ideal for short-term use. Please contact the FieldTurf Customer Service Department for a list of recommended suppliers. WE USED TO HAVE FIREWORKS ON THE 4TH OF JULY - CAN WE STILL HAVE THEM WITH OUR NEW FIELD? Whenever possible, direct contact of fireworks should be avoided near our synthetic grass system. However, though some polyethylene fibers could be singed when in contact with live ambers or fireworks, water will immediately alleviate any damage. A fire extinguisher can be used, but water is preferable since it leaves no residue to penetrate the infill; however, either one is fine. Watering the field will certainly help reduce potential damage; however, whenever possible, the field should be covered by a “fire resistant” covering. Contact the Customer Service Department for a list of recommended suppliers. CAN A LEAF BLOWER BE USED ON THE FIELD? Yes, this is an effective method of getting rid of leaves, pine needles, dried sunflower seeds, etc. The blower should be held no closer than 2’ from the surface and at a 45 degree angle to avoid displacing any of the infill from the field. Walk or pull-behind models can also be used. HOW DOES CLIMATE AFFECT THE FIELDTURF SURFACE I.E. SNOW, RAIN, AND SALT WATER? Your FieldTurf surface is designed to withstand a wide range of climatic and atmospheric conditions, such as ultraviolet rays (UV), snow, ice, salt water and sea climates without damage. However, it is essential that the field is washed periodically to remove any salt water deposits on the field surface. WE SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF GEESE LANDING ON OUR FIELD WHILE THEY MIGRATE BACK AND FORTH IN THE FALL AND SPRING. WHAT CAN WE DO TO KEEP THEM AWAY? Several remedies are safe for humans and unpleasant for our feathered friends. Contact our FieldTurf Customer Service Department for further details. CAN TRACK AND FIELD EVENTS SUCH AS DISCUS, JAVELIN, SHOTPUT BE HELD ON MY FIELD? In general, the unprotected Turf system and base will tolerate some degree of Track activities, but protective covering in the landing area is recommended. Several suppliers offer “Discus” that are designed specifically for synthetic surfaces. The Javelin must be equipped with a Rubber tip to avoid damage to your FieldTurf system. The Turf system will obviously withstand use of the Hammer and Shot-Put on a Concrete base more so than Crushed stone, as noted previously, protective covering is recommended. Since Infill will be displaced, grooming frequencies might have to be added. The FieldTurf Warranty covers the components and Installation of the FieldTurf product. The holding of Track events, as noted, will not impact the warranty. However, though all efforts are made to provide appropriate directives for the staging of events other than the sporting activities set out in the warranty; the responsibility remains on the owner for any mishaps or damages that might occur. CAN BLEACHING AGENTS BE USED ON FIELDTURF FIELDS? Oxidizing agents such as bleaching agents should NOT be used on FieldTurf fields. WHAT DO I DO IF WE SPILL GATORADE ON THE FIELD? We recommend that the areas with Gatorade or other drinks/fluids be cleaned as soon as possible with water in order to avoid bugs being attracted to the surface or jerseys becoming stained as a result of the spilled liquid. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IS CUSTOMER CONNECT? This exclusive online aid contains news, useful tips and information which will hopefully assist you with overall Maintenance and care of your fields for years to come. • www.fieldturf.com WHAT ARE THE BEST TYPES OF SHOES TO WEAR ON FIELDTURF? The superior playing characteristics of your FieldTurf surface are directly associated with correct footwear and include: torque release, surface friction and traction. The best types of shoes are molded cleats or screw-ins (maximum recommended is ½”). The footwear designated for natural grass is easily transferable to use on FieldTurf. • While use of long steel jagged cleats on FieldTurf will not void the warranty, they are not recommended. Limited use is allowable. • It is important to note that flat-soled shoes and steel cleats do not result in ultimate athlete performance. • Metal and aluminum rounded molded cleats are acceptable. • A complete traction study of footwear on FieldTurf is available upon request. WE HAVE HAD SOME VANDALISM ON OUR FIELD - WHAT DO WE DO? In all cases, photographs should be taken immediately of any vandalism that has taken place. These will be needed for insurance purposes and should also be sent to the FieldTurf Customer Service Department in order to evaluate the scope of the required repairs. Burn or singe marks should be evaluated immediately. In some cases, a qualified crew might be able to repair these without replacing sections of the turf. In the case of paint vandalism, it will be imperative to remove the paint as soon as possible, as the longer it stays on the surface, especially in the hot sun, the more difficult it becomes to remove. Two commercially available removers are safe for use with the FieldTurf system: 1) Graffiti remover by Goof-Off 2) Zep Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser Both of these are most effective when used in conjunction with warm/hot water. A PRESSURE WASHER IS IDEAL WHEN AVAILABLE; A FEW GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW: 1) Apply approved remover first. 2) Work it in with a brush, first one way against the fibers, then the other. Hot/warm water can be used on the brush to further activate the remover. 3) The pressure washer nozzle should be held no closer than 2’ from the grass and at no less than a 45-degree angle. 4) Again, going in one direction of the fibers, then back the other way. 5) All steps should be repeated if necessary. It should be noted that in most cases it is not known what kind of paint we are dealing with. The above mentioned removers might not give the results needed. Please contact the FieldTurf Customer Service Department, as several paint suppliers also manufacture various removers that are safe on our surface. They are also very helpful and knowledgeable with removal methods and will be a good phone or on-site resource, if needed. WHAT EQUIPMENT CAN BE USED TO PAINT AND REMOVE PAINT? A list of recommended painting and paint removal equipment, as well as painting and removal tips and guidelines, can be obtained by contacting your FieldTurf Customer Service Department. Docusign Envelope ID: 90BA0E50-20AE-88B1-8315-1980859EC055 FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FIELDTURF MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES 30 31 INITIAL The field has just been installed. Fibers are upright and infill is slightly higher and looser. Approximate duration for this stage depending on use and proper maintenance: years 0-1 (Fig. 1) SETTLED Fibers are not as upright and are beginning to layover in order to encapsulate the infill and provide for a more grass-like appearance. The infill height has been lowered and has settled to its ideal level of 3/4” below the tip of the fiber held in an upright position. Approximate duration for this stage depending on use and proper maintenance: years 2-5 (Fig. 2) MATURED The fibers have laid over and the infill height remains at its ideal level. During these years, the consistency and durability of the FieldTurf system is brought to the forefront as the product continues to exude ideal levels of safety and performance after heavy use. Approximate duration for this stage depending on use and proper maintenance: years 6-8+ (Fig. 3) (Fig. 1) (Fig. 2) (Fig. 3) FIELDTURF FIELD SETTLING FIELDTURF HAS PROVEN TO BE THE HIGHEST PERFORMING AND THE MOST DURABLE BRAND OF ARTIFICIAL TURF IN THE WORLD. THE FIELDTURF SYSTEM IS AN ENGINEERED PRODUCT CONSISTING OF SPECIALIZED COMPONENTS ALL GEARED TOWARDS MAXIMIZING ATHLETE SAFETY AND FIELD PERFORMANCE. In addition to industry-leading manufacturing and service standards, what sets FieldTurf apart is the patented 9 lb / square foot sand and rubber infill system, along with the world’s most durable fiber that is exclusive to FieldTurf. It is important for field owners to understand what constitutes normal behavior of these vital components over time. Below are the three major stages that a field will go through in order to achieve its optimal level of performance. These three stages are not only normal but a necessary progression in the life of an artificial turf field. CAN WE USE TRAINING EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS BLOCKING SLEDS, ON THE FIELD? Training devices should be used with caution. Though their use does not constitute a breach of your warranty, FieldTurf cannot be responsible for any damage caused by the use of any such training equipment. Since many manufacturers have developed or modified their Equipment specifically for synthetic systems, it is suggested that they be consulted for their recommendations and guidelines before use. Our research has yielded some recommended guidelines which include: • To make use of sleds and various training devices off the main field of play, such as D zones, end zones (if no Inlaid logos appear) and areas away from the main boundaries of play where the panels run parallel to the field and no inlaid markings appear. • If used on the field of play, it is suggested that it be across the field in the directions that the panels were installed, as opposed to end to end against them. • It is always recommended to remove the Equipment from the Field after each use. The same recommendations would apply to the use of “Tire Flipping” as a training aid. Moreover a few specific recommendations would be: • To make sure that the tires are clean, any dirt will likely get transferred to the turf and Infill. It is not recommended to use the tires as a “Resistance” tool by dragging them across the turf. Preliminary research has shown that the friction could possibly damage or even pull out some of the polyethylene fibers. As in other higher use areas on the field, grooming frequencies might have to be augmented to Groom both the Infill and the fibers. I SEEM TO HAVE BASE DEPRESSIONS OR DIPS ON MY FIELD - WHAT DO I DO? Base depressions or “dips” that form on a field are not unlike potholes on our roads. The sub-base construction is similar in some aspects to road work. It usually consists of 6” to 10” of crushed stone over the existing soil that was graded and compacted. Over time and especially if the soil is of poor quality or unstable, areas may depress. The unevenness or depression that has formed is a result of the shifting of the base soil below it. Obviously this then causes the turf system to sink. It should be noted that this is not part of the turf system warranty; however, it should be addressed. Contact your base contractor with any sub-base related issues. WHY DOES MY FIELD APPEAR TO BE SLOW IN DRAINING? It is possible that the slow drainage is a result of surface tension – a natural phenomenon common in the fabric, carpet and outdoor flooring industry. Surface tension is especially common on recently completed fields. In most cases, the problem resolves itself naturally over the 6 week break-in period as the field is played on. In rare cases, the field could be treated with a surfactant and/or degreasing agent to enhance water penetration and eliminate surface tension. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT SOME “PUDDLING” OR “PONDING” IS PERFECTLY NORMAL IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. IN ALMOST ALL CASES, HOWEVER, THE FIELD SHOULD BE FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY STANDING WATER ONCE THE PRECIPITATION HAS STOPPED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES.
