Company Overview and Qualifications History SPRINTURF is one of the original three artificial turf companies. Formed in 1998, SPRINTURF has over 1,200 installations throughout the United States. In 2010, Integrated Turf Solutions (ITS), one of only 2 companies in North America manufacturing the FULL range of artificial turf products, acquired SPRINTURF, one of the most reputable turf marketers and installers in the country. The new SPRINTURF became the FIRST fully integrated polyethylene turf company in North America. This was the first step towards a world class model, providing best-in-class economics, logistics, quality and service. The SPRINTURF brand is synonymous with high-performing Dual-Yarn systems. Over 90% of SPRINTURF installations since 2006 are Dual-Yarn installations, incorporating high durability, resiliency (or bounce back) and the exclusive infill fly-out reduction technology (IFR™). Locations SPRINTURF’s principal office is located in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition, SPRINTURF operates two manufacturing facilities; one in Dadeville, Alabama and the other in Chatsworth, Georgia. The Dadeville facility extrudes a full range of polyethylene, polypropylene and nylon yarns, including the latest generation of slit film and spinneret monofilament yarns. The Chatsworth, Georgia facility houses SPRINTURF’s tufting, urethane coating operations. Together the Dadeville and Chatsworth facilities have provided yarn and finished synthetic turf products for over 2,000 fields in North America. SPRINTURF is the only company in North America that extrudes 100% of their fibers in- house and in America. Financial & Bonding Information SPRINTURF is one of only four national synthetic turf companies and it is the only one to own all its American manufacturing facilities, which are worth over $35 million. Other than a working capital revolver, SPRINTURF is debt free. SPRINTURF also enjoys a long term supply and research relationships Exxon and Dow, the two largest resin suppliers in the industry. SPRINTURF’s manufacturing and supply capacity is in excess of 25 million square feet annually. SPRINTURF carries comprehensive commercial general liability, automobile liability, and

workers’ compensation insurance. In addition, its third-party insured warranty is the best in the industry with a $20 million per field limit and annual aggregate coverage of $25 million. Copies of its Certificates of Liability Insurance are included herein for your reference. Finally, SPRINTURF has a bonding capacity of $5 million per project and $25 million aggregate. Capabilities SPRINTURF achieved a 99 percent on time delivery rate in 2014 versus the typical industry average of 60-70 percent. SPRINTURF can manufacture and deliver the synthetic turf for this project in approximately twenty-one (21) days from receipt of approved submittals.

American Jobs & Investment SPRINTURF is heavily invested in America and American jobs. SPRINTURF is the only turf company that manufactures 100 percent of the turf in-house and in America. Starting with the resin pellet and ending with the installed field, SPRINTURF is a one-stop shop. Every job is in America; every investment dollar is in America. Our hard assets in the United States dedicated to turf exceed that of the other three major turf companies combined.

Safety SPRINTURF is one of the safest playing surfaces of any kind. It’s patented 100 percent all- rubber system and its standard 70/30 blend of rubber and sand offer a playing surface that SPRINTURF employees would create for their own children. Furthermore, the polymers used in the manufacture of SPRINTURF synthetic turf products are purchased from blue chip companies such as Dow and Exxon and have been tested and found to be in compliance with California’s stringent Proposition 65.

Quality The SPRINTURF system is unique in many ways. SPRINTURF is the only turf manufacturer with no field failures over the last decade. Since SPRINTURF manufactures 100 percent in-house, world-class quality systems are designed around prevention versus detection. Furthermore, SPRINTURF’s manufacturing facility is ISO certified.

100% of the fibers are made in-house and in America. SPRINTURF has been manufacturing slit tape fibers since 2002 and spinerette monofilament since 2006. In addition to quality control, eliminating imports of any kind gives SPRINTURF a compliance advantage with U.S. laws and regulations. 100% of the tufting and urethane coating is done in-house, giving us total control of manufacturing from pellet to finished product. We also have a fully equipped in-house lab including Instrons, color cameras, UV weatherometers and a Lisport accelerated wear tester.

By controlling all manufacturing and testing, SPRINTURF confidently offers an eight (8) year manufacturer’s warranty that is fully insured by a third party. SPRINTURF is also the only turf company to guarantee a minimum 10 tuft bind. Thus far, there have been zero fiber failures for all yarns manufactured in SPRINTURF facilities. SPRINTURF also offers a unique maintenance program, Sprintcare. Information on Sprintcare is included herein. SPRINTURF supports you from cradle (resin pellet) to grave (field removed a decade from now) Economics & Logistics Since there are not multiple hands in the pot, SPRINTURF offers competitive, if not the best, pricing while making sure all production complies with all EPA and CPSC regulations on heavy metals, etc.

Dear Randy,

I want you to see how we are using our new Synthetic Turf ( SPRINTURF ) Football field seven days a week.

Football:

High School, varsity, junior varsity and freshman games and practice

Intermediate School, 7th and 8th grade games

Elementary School, 3rd, 4th, 5th 6th grade Sunday games

Soccer:

High School, boys and girls varsity and junior varsity games and practice

Physical Education: High School, P.E. classes

Band:

High School and Intermediate School, band practice

As you can see the Sprinturf installation is a tremendous asset to our School System and the City of Richmond.

The Sprinturf Construction Team was able to install their total system in six weeks, completing the project

on schedule, August 2nd, for the start of football practice.

Our installation was flawless with no punch list items; we did have a small change order requested by the School.

You can tell we are well pleased with Sprinturf and can highly recommend Sprinturf as a Company, their Product and Construction Personnel.

Ronald G Maze

Project Manager

Richmond Community Schools

September 18, 2008 Dear Mr. McMinn, A few years ago it was decided to purchase some land next to our high school in order to build a new soccer field. After some investigation we determined that it would save the district money in the long run, and we would have a nicer and more useful facility, if we didn’t develop the new land, but we installed a Sprint Turf field inside our football stadium. Doing this would give soccer plenty of bleachers, lights, a sound system, and a big scoreboard. The project has recently been completed and we love it. The turf is beautiful, and we receive complements about it every time there is a game or activity on the field. We love the feel and look of the blades, and we love the mustang logo in the center and the orange soccer lines. It has given our school something very useful and something in which we can take great pride. Now that we have the Sprint Turf field we have our games and practices for football, soccer, and band, and we use the field for many PE classes. Also, our youth football program uses it on Saturdays, and the field is always in great shape. We don’t have to worry about wearing out the field during rain storms, or staying off the field because it’s muddy. It’s great. Thanks for a great field. Sincerely,

Bob Henke Mountain Crest High School Hyrum, UT 435-246-6093
