Publication Date: August 26, 2021 Version April 13, 2020 I. SCOPE OF WORK Region 4 Education Service Center ("Region 4 ESC") requests proposals from qualified suppliers with the intent to enter into a Contract for Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material. Region 4 ESC is seeking a provider that has the depth, breadth and quality of resources necessary to complete all phases of the Contract. Awarded Offeror(s) shall deliver products and services under the terms of this agreement. While this solicitation specifically covers Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material, each awarded Offeror may offer their complete product and service offering, or balance of line. Region 4 ESC reserves the right to accept or reject any or all balance of line items offered. Region 4 ESC is an education service center established by the Texas Legislature in 1967 to assist school districts and charter schools in improving efficiencies. Region 4 ESC directly serves a seven -county area comprised of 48 public school districts and 40 open -enrollment charter schools, representing more than 1.2 million students, 101,000 educators and 1,500 campuses. Through cooperative contracts Region 4 ESC extends the opportunity to operate more efficiently and economically to agencies nationwide through OMNIA Partners (see below). The Contract is based on the need to provide the economic benefits of volume purchasing and reduction in administrative costs through cooperative purchasing to schools and other members. Although the awarded Offeror(s) may restrict sales to certain public units (for example, state agencies or local government units), any proposal that prohibits sales from being made to public school districts may not be considered. Sales without restriction are preferred. These types of contracts are commonly referred to as being "piggybackable." Due to the potential scope of work needed by Participating Public Agencies, awarded Contractor(s) may use unit prices established for the contracts specified by the latest version of the RSMeans Construction Procurement Catalog (Unit Price Book "UPB") when providing Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material products and services under a Master Agreement; in such cases, the UPB that may be utilized by an awarded Contractor(s) is incorporated by reference into this RFP. As part of the Products/Pricing section of this RFP, located under the Evaluation Process and Criteria, a national co -efficient for standard and non- standard hours is being requested as it relates to when/if a UPB is being utilized. All Offeror's are encouraged to submit including contractors, manufacturers, distributors, and dealers. Should an Awarded Offeror utilize distributors and/or dealers that have been approved, Participating Public Agencies may choose to issue work directly to the distributor and/or dealer if allowed by the Awarded Offeror and Participating Public Agency. NATIONAL CONTRACT Region 4 ESC, as the Principal Procurement Agency, defined in APPENDIX D, has partnered with OMNIA Partners, Public Sector ("OMNIA Partners") to make the resultant contract (also known as the "Master Agreement" in materials distributed by OMNIA Partners) from this solicitation available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary and higher education entities, non-profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit ("Public Agencies"), through OMNIA Partners' cooperative purchasing program. Region 4 ESC is acting as the contracting agency for any other Public Agency that elects to utilize the resulting Master Agreement. Use of the Master Agreement by any Public Agency is preceded by their registration with OMNIA Partners (a "Participating Public Agency") and by using the Master Agreement, any such Participating Public Agency RFP Page 2 agrees that it is registered with OMNIA Partners, whether pursuant to the terms of a Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto on APPENDIX D, or as otherwise agreed to. APPENDIX D contains additional information about OMNIA Partners and the cooperative purchasing program. OMNIA Partners is the largest and most experienced purchasing organization for public and private sector procurement. Through the economies of scale created by OMNIA Partners public sector subsidiaries and affiliates, National IPA and U.S. Communities, our participants now have access to more competitively solicited and publicly awarded cooperative agreements. The lead agency contracting process continues to be the foundation on which we are founded. OMNIA Partners is proud to offer more value and resources to state and local government, higher education, K-12 education and non -profits. OMNIA Partners provides shared services and supply chain optimization to government, education and the private sector. With corporate, pricing and sales commitments from the Offeror, OMNIA Partners provides marketing and administrative support for the Offeror that directly promotes the Offeror's products and services to Participating Public Agencies though multiple channels, each designed to promote specific products and services to Public Agencies on a national basis. Participating Public Agencies benefit from pricing based on aggregate spend and the convenience of a contract that has already been advertised and publicly competed. The Offeror benefits from a contract that generally allows Participating Public Agencies to directly purchase goods and services without the Offeror's need to respond to additional competitive solicitations. As such, the Offeror must be able to accommodate a nationwide demand for services and to fulfill obligations as a nationwide Offeror and respond to the OMNIA Partners documents (APPENDIX D). While no minimum volume is guaranteed to the Contractor, the estimated annual volume of Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material purchased under the Master Agreement through OMNIA Partners is approximately $80M. This projection is based on the current annual volumes among Region 4 ESC, other Participating Public Agencies anticipated to utilize the resulting Master Agreement to be made available to them through OMNIA Partners, and volume growth into other Public Agencies through a coordinated marketing approach between the Contractor and OMNIA Partners. RFP Page 3 SPECIAL OFFERS/PROMOTIONS In addition to decreasing prices for the balance of the Contract term due to a change in market conditions, Contractor may conduct sales promotions involving price reductions for a specified lesser period. Contractor may offer Participating Agencies competitive pricing which is lower than the not -to -exceed price set forth herein at any time during the Contract term and such lower pricing shall not be applied as a global price reduction under the Contract. CUSTOMER SUPPORT Contractor shall provide timely and accurate technical advice and sales support to Region 4 ESC staff and Participating Agencies. Contractor shall respond to such requests within one (1) working day after receipt of the request. II.

The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016. The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law, prescribe the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the commission's website. The commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5, 2015. The commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November 30, 2015, to implement the law. The commission does not have any additional authority to enforce or interpret House Bill 1295. Filing Process: Staring on January 1, 2016, the commission made available on its website a new filing application that must be used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will include a certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form. The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing must be filed with the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract. The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission's filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. This process is known as acknowledging the certificate. The commission will post the acknowledged Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice from the governmental entity or state agency. The posted acknowledged form does not contain the declaration of signature information provided by the business. A certificate will stay in the pending state until it is acknowledged by the governmental agency. Only acknowledged certificates are posted to the commission's website.

What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (httn://www.ni.,aov/dca/divisions/dl2s/resources/lfns 2006.htm11. Please refer back to these instructions for the appropriate links, as the Local Finance Notices include links that are no longer operational. 1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a "fair and open" process (N J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7). 2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed. 3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file. 4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure. a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the "County PCD Forms" link on the Pay -to -Play web site at httn://www.ni.2ov/dca/divisions/dl2s/nro2rams/lncl.htrnl#12. They will be updated from time -to -time as necessary. b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county -based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists. c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted. d. The form may be used "as -is", subject to edits as described herein. e. The "Contractor Instructions" sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly. f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document. 5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a "Stockholder Disclosure Certification." This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation at httn://www.ni.2ov/dca/divisions/dl2s/resources/lfns 2006.htm11.

Question: Could you please provide some specifics about what type of surfacing this RFP is for? Would this be for full length athletic fields (football, soccer, etc), playground surfacing, indoor gym flooring? Answer: Offerors are not required to provide all forms of sport surfaces so that all Offerors may compete in a fair and open competition format. The scope of work is open could include (but is not limited to): fields, tracks, playground surfacing, gym flooring, turf, etc. so Offerors are encouraged and able to provide their full breadth of products and services. 2. Question: For our pricing workbook, can it be submitted in either PDF or Excel? Answer. Yes, either can be submitted. Having both though often works best for Participating Public Agencies. 3. Question: For signature pages, can we submit scanned versions of the signature pages on the media drive or do they need to specifically be submitted in DocuSign? Answer: They can be scanned versions. Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material Solicitation Number 22-05 Page 1 of 3 4. Question: Please explain the Guaranteed Contract Sales provision of the Master Agreement. Are more points awarded for a higher guaranteed sales number? If the guaranteed amount is not met, will vendor need to pay the 3% admin fee for the difference? Answer. A Guaranteed Contract Sales amount is not required. Points are not allocated for guaranteed sales, but some Suppliers choose to submit to show their commitment. If a guaranteed amount is not met, Awarded Offeror(s) would need to pay the administration fee on the total amount of the sales guarantee that is noted in the Awarded Offeror(s) response. 5. Question: When is reporting and admin fee due? Reporting is monthly; however, are projects reported as they are awarded or when we are paid in full? Is admin fee due when we are paid in full by member? Answer. Reporting and payments are due monthly. Reporting and payments are to be made on the sale of products and/or services. If there are any exceptions or clarifications that an Offeror would like to make, they can submit those in their proposal. 6. Question: The RFP reads "Net Price to Region 4 is to include shipping. We ship everywhere in the US and cannot pre -determine shipping costs. Can shipping be excluded? Also, isn't shipping a pass -through to customer? Answer. If shipping cannot be pre -determined, then include that as part of the response. Some Offerors may include shipping as part of their overall pricing, others may have it as a separate line item. But if there are to be shipping charges to Participating Public Agencies, they need to be indicated even if it is to say that shipping costs are separate and determined at the time of order. 7. Question: Will a Fed Ex delivery be accepted for our submission? Answer. Yes, but please take delivery time into account when submitting a proposal. Offerors must be aware of the proposal due date and time as Region 4 Education Service Center is not responsible for deliveries received after the Submittal Deadline. 8. Question: Is an IRS Means Coefficient required? If so, are additional points awarded if the coefficient is below a 1? Are points deducted if coefficient is above a 1? Answer. A RS Means Coefficient is not required but pricing for products and services included as part of an Offeror(s response is. An Offeror may also use multiple pricing mechanisms based on their different products and/or services. An example is the Offeror may provide list pricing for certain products and services but a coefficient for others. Pricing is also not limited to these options and could additionally include a discount off structure or hourly rates; Offerors should review Section IV. 2. a) Products/Pricing for additional details. Products/Pricing is an evaluation criteria and Offeror(s will be scored based on all the pricing that is submitted and what may be best for Participating Public Agencies.

Answer: Yes. Questions that were asked in the Zoom meeting are included in this Question and Answer document. 10. Question: I had a question on this solicitation — in terms of the scope of work, is installation a "must have" requirement to participate, or are we able to propose the materials themselves (with the warranty, etc.)? Essentially we're wondering if this is an "all or nothing" bid or if we're able to bid on components of the requested scope. Answer: Installation is not a must have requirement, but the most advantageous proposals will be selected based on the Evaluation Criteria stated in the Request for Proposal. 11. Question: I am writing to request a copy of the pre -bid meeting attendance sheet, addendum and if available, the plan holder's list. I would also like to know the estimated budget for this project.

Currently, there are no addendums or a plan holder's list. As indicated in the solicitation, there is no minimum volume guaranteed but the estimated annual shared volume is $80M.

IV. EVALUATION PROCESS AND CRITERIA a) Products/Pricing Offerors shall provide pricing based on a discount from a price list or catalog, or fixed price, or a combination of both with indefinite quantities. Prices listed will be used to establish the extent of an Offeror's product lines, services, warranties, etc. that are available from Offeror and the pricing per item. Multiple percentage discounts are acceptable if, where different percentage discounts apply, they different percentages are specified. Discounts proposed should remain the same for the first 12 months after the contract award. Additional pricing and/or discounts may be included. Products and services proposed are to be priced separately with all ineligible items identified. Offerors may elect to limit their proposals to any category or categories. ii. Include an electronic copy of the catalog from which discount, or fixed price, is calculated. Electronic price lists must contain the following: (if applicable) • Manufacturer or Other Part # • Offeror's Part # (if different from the above part #) • Description • Suggested List Price and Net Price • Net price to Region 4 ESC (including freight) Media submitted for price list must include the Offerors' company name, name of the solicitation, and date on a Flash Drive (i.e. Pin or Jump Drives). AstroTurf Corporation is not submitting catalog pricing at this time. iii. Provide a national co -efficient for standard and non-standard hours that may be used when the UPB is being utilized. For clarification, additional co- efficients are not being requested as an awarded Contractor(s) may utilize the UPB's city index. The following national co-efficients will be used: • 1.0% for standard hours • 1.5% for non-standard hours Due to the potential scope of work needed by Participating Public Agencies, supplier contractors may use unit prices established for the contracts specified by the latest version of the RS Means Construction Procurement Catalog (Unit Price Book "UPB") when providing Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material products and services under a Master Agreement; in such cases, the UPB that may be utilized by an awarded Contractor(s) is incorporated by reference into this RFP. As part of the Products/Pricing section of this RFP, located under the RFP Page 11 Evaluation Process and Criteria, a national co -efficient for standard and non- standard hours is being requested as it relates to when/if a UPB is being utilized. Per this language, the range of 1.0% to 1.5% allows AstroTurf Corporation to cover prevailing wage rates and unionized labor, which will be discounted as necessary to provide the lowest possible cost to the OMNIA Partners participant. iv. Is pricing available for all products and services? AstroTurf Corporation is offering participating agencies all products, materials, equipment and services related to the scope of sports surfacing or landscape turf applications, including all turn -key services involved within the scope of work. To include but not limited to, demo and removal, any site work and base preparation, asphalt and concrete, lighting/electrical, irrigation, drainage systems, fencing, crack repair, surface prep/cleaning and debris removal. For all products and services not pre -priced in our pricing workbook, AstroTurf Corporation will use the RS Means standard cost estimating method using the co- efficients provided. V. Describe any shipping charges. AstroTurf Corporation factors shipping costs in the total price to the customer. Our prices on the Pricing Workbook include shipping. vi. Provide pricing for warranties on all products and services. See enclosed Pricing Workbook. vii. Describe any return and restocking fees. Our manufactured products/services cannot be returned. Should there be an issue or defect with our installed product or equipment item, the repair or replacement will be resolved through the warranty process. viii. Describe any additional discounts or rebates available. Additional discounts or rebates may be offered for large quantity orders, single ship to location, growth, annual spend, guaranteed quantity, etc. A volume discount may be given as an incentive for multi -surface purchases, as often the case with school districts choosing to replace several turf fields, running tracks, tennis/basketball courts, or turf playgrounds (in any combination) within the same fiscal or calendar year. These multi -surface discounts are based on a variety of contributing factors and evaluated on an individual basis. Another type of discount may be given if production can be scheduled in the off- season in lieu of the busy construction months. RFP Page 12 ix. Describe how customers verify they are receiving Contract pricing. Customers using cooperative contracts may verify pricing through several ways. They either request the pricing workbook be shared by AstroTurf or by OMNIA Partners in order to verify line items match their proposal price. Oftentimes they request our help to navigate the extensive Pricing Workbook, including assistance breaking down our pricing when RS Means is used. X. Describe payment methods offered. Customer payment methods are by check, ACH/wire, or credit card. Credit card payments incur a 1.5% surcharge fee. Our terms are 30 days for materials only and 60 days for materials plus installation. We invoice customers based upon the PO or executed contract, with most POs billed in full at project completion unless otherwise specified. All customer contracts are invoiced based on Schedule of Values completed (progressive billing). Once project is completed and paid in full, AstroTurf reports the purchase to the co-op organization with our fee payment, on a quarterly basis. A. Propose the frequency of updates to the Offeror's pricing structure. Describe any proposed indices to guide price adjustments. If offering a catalog contract with discounts by category, while changes in individual pricing may change, the category discounts should not change over the term of the Contract. We update product pricing no more than annually to include any new products and the discontinuation of others. Occasionally we must increase prices for both customers and our distributor -dealer network but we commit to our contract discount remaining the same for OMNIA Partners agency participants. The last 20 months dealing with the COVID-19 virus have proven to be challenging for nearly every industry; manufacturing and construction have endured major supply chain interruption and labor issues. Raw material availability and rapidly escalating pricing have negatively impacted our business from both a production and financial standpoint. Parts to keep manufacturing equipment running are simply unavailable for several months. We are in constant communication with suppliers to harness as must feedstock as possible for our fiber production. With that, several suppliers have exercised force majeure and unilaterally raised the price of materials that were previously tied to long term supply agreements. Ultimately we have to adjust pricing to reflect the increase cost of production. In 2019, we absorbed 100% of the cost increases, but in 2020 we have been forced to raise our costs in the estimating process and have passed on pricing increases to our distributors in April and September. We provided a grace period to hold pricing on projects that were previously contracted and could be put into manufacturing by specific dates. Given the nature of most co-operative purchasing agreements, we would quickly communicate pricing adjustments if a product escalated beyond the not published pricing withing the contract schedule. RFP Page 13 We anticipate continued challenges on raw materials for at least the first half of 2022 and are managing orders, manufacturing and construction schedules accordingly. Our policy is to communicate these challenges to the customer up front and early enough to help them manage their construction schedule. These are industry wide, global issues that are not unique to AstroTurf Corporation and our family of branded sports surfacing products. xii. Describe how future product introductions will be priced and align with Contract pricing proposed. We have many factors to consider when pricing products. Inputs such as the cost of raw materials, manufacturing methods, anticipated volume, labor and shipping all influence the price of our products. Given the competitive nature of the industry, we aim and commit to pricing new products in accordance with industry standard pricing. xiii. Provide any additional information relevant to this section. AstroTurf Corporation Product/Pricing List is included in this section. Federal Funding Pricinq Due to products and services potentially being used in response to an emergency or disaster recovery situation in which federal funding may be used, provide alternative pricing that does not include cost plus a percentage of cost or pricing based on time and materials; if time and materials is necessary, a ceiling price that the contractor exceeds at its own risk will be needed as determined and set by the Participating Public Agency. Products and services provided in a situation where an agency is eligible for federal funding, Offeror is subject to and must comply with all federal requirements applicable to the funding including, but not limited to the FEMA Special Conditions section located in the Federal Funds Certifications Exhibit. Not to Exceed Pricinq.. Region 4 ESC requests pricing be submitted as not to exceed pricing. Unlike fixed pricing, the Contractor can adjust submitted pricing lower if needed but, cannot exceed original pricing submitted. Contractor must allow for lower pricing to be available for similar product and service purchases. Cost plus pricing as a primary pricing structure is not acceptable. RFP Page 14 SINCE 1965 Astronrf� AN AstroTurt Corporation GLOBAL BRAND TAB 3 Performance Capability OMNIA Partners Documents WELCOME TO THE SECOND HALF OF THE ASTROTURF � CENTURY. IV. EVALUATION PROCESS AND CRITERIA b) Performance Capability Include a detailed response to Appendix D, Exhibit A, OMNIA Partners Response for National Cooperative Contract. Responses should highlight experience, demonstrate a strong national presence, describe how Offeror will educate its national sales force about the Contract, describe how products and services will be distributed nationwide, include a plan for marketing the products and services nationwide, and describe how volume will be tracked and reported to OMNIA Partners. The successful Offeror will be required to sign Appendix D, Exhibit B, OMNIA Partners Administration Agreement prior to Contract award. Offerors should haveany reviews required to sign the document prior to submitting a response. Offeror's response should include any proposed exceptions to OMNIA Partners Administration Agreement on Appendix B, Terms and Conditions Acceptance Form. iii. Include completed Appendix D, Exhibits F. Federal Funds Certifications and G. New Jersey Business Compliance. iv. Describe how Offeror responds to emergency orders. Emergency orders are uncommon for the sports surfacing industry and are evaluated and fulfilled within the shortest time possible. Warranty issues take precedence in our culture and are manufactured and shipped quickly to meet customer deadlines. When an emergency order comes in the AstroTurf team will take the required actions to ensure the order is dealt with accordingly. Since each field is customized to a specification, an emergency order would be bumped up to the top of the manufacturing list to meet the customer's deadline. Daily adjustments are made to accommodate so as not to affect existing manufacturing schedules. The turnaround can be as short as stocked product shipped within 7 days, depending on the type of product, square feet, barrels, etc. V. What is Offeror's average Fill Rate? AstroTurf does not stock synthetic turf for sports applications, which is custom manufactured with a minimum lead time of 35 days due to an extensive list of product variables. During our peak construction season, we ensure customers plan for a lead time of 45 days. While our landscape/commercial turf has a shorter lead time due to mostly a smaller amount of square footage, usually 14-21 days, it's popularity has increased the demand for our manufacturing facility to continually move product quickly to dealers. RFP Page 12 Our polyurethane products for Rekortan track and Laykold court systems are manufactured and stocked, available within 14 days of Purchase Order receipt, for most products. vi. What is Offeror's average on time delivery rate? Describe Offeror's history ofineeting the shipping and delivery timelines. AstroTurf's history of meeting shipping and delivery timelines is consistently excellent. We maintain our reputation in this regard by closely tracking and forecasting projects throughout all phases of the sales pipeline, even before they get to the manufacturing level. Once a customer project is ordered and scheduled, we manage a strict production timeline and keep our manufacturing facility humming 12-hour days. With so many moving parts to the process from start to finish, our systems and teams work tirelessly to ensure the customer has their turf field, running track or tennis court installed or serviced on time, on schedule. vii. Describe Offeror's return and restocking policy. Every sports surface is custom -designed and installed for the client. As such, extensive pre -manufacturing submittal and sign -off procedures are in place. While a customer cannot simply change their mind and return the field or track, we do offer strong warranties that ensure the quality and workmanship of our products and installations. viii. Describe Offeror's ability to meet service and warranty needs. Over the last 50+ years, AstroTurf has earned a superior reputation for warranty performance. We recognize that our number one sales tool is a happy customer, and that warranty service after the sale is perhaps the largest determining factor in winning repeat business. We are not perfect — mistakes are a part of life. However, the difference between AstroTurf and others is the way we deal with problems. Fairness, honesty and commitment to customer satisfaction govern our actions. We encourage clients to talk to other Owners in this regard, as AstroTurf's approach is atypical in the industry. ix. Describe Offeror's customer service/problem resolution process. Include hours of operation, number of services, etc. Communication after the sale is paramount to resolving any potential issue and is the core of the AstroTurf philosophy and focus on repeat customers. Types of issues that need addressing is broad; from accidental field damage, simple torn seams, and natural causes like extreme weather conditions, flooding, etc., to field grooming, crack repair, power washing, and more, we're confident we can address the problem with a solution that will keep our customers coming back for their next surfacing project. RFP Page 13 Our AfterCare customer service team is available 8:00 — 5:00 Monday — Friday to schedule maintenance or warranty repair services at the AfterCare designated toll - free number 1-866-951-TURF or by emailing maintenance(a)astroturf.com . X. Describe Offeror's invoicing process. Include payment terms and acceptable methods of payments. Offerors shall describe any associated fees pertaining to credit cards/p-cards. Invoicing is run through our accounting department under CFO Doug Weatherly's supervision. Invoicing and payment terms are as follows: • If the contract has a Schedule of Values, AstroTurf will invoice monthly, based on a defined period of dates from the contract. Contract administrators communicate with accounting the percentages of completion on a G702/G703 form, a form designed by architects for billing on large contracts. • For material -only purchase orders, the contract administrators discuss with accounting when the project will be shipped and schedule the product invoice. • Net terms are 30 days for materials only and 60 days for materials plus installation. • While our preferred method of payment is ACH or wire, we accept checks and credit card payments. Credit card payments incur a 1.5% surcharge fee. A. Describe Offeror's contract implementation/customer transition plan. In 2018 AstroTurf Corporation made the investment to hire dedicated Cooperative Purchasing Director Victoria Stringham, a former TCPN Regional Sales Manager, to lead and train our direct and indirect sales team, as well as interface directly with customers about the benefits of cooperative purchasing. With this higher level of engagement and experience, we have seen this new sales program almost double cooperative purchasing sales through various co-op contracts. Upon award, Victoria will continue to manage the Region 4 ESC contract with OMNIA Partners and serve as the AstroTurf Corporation in-house expert and key resource for all sales channels. • Present OMNIA Partners contract information and training at our national sales meeting • Articulate the advantage of aligning with the OMNIA Partners sales team and driving engagement • Negotiating and reviewing OMNIA Partners contract sales • Managing our extensive systems to track and report sales • Participate in weekly sales team calls for all regions and brands • Work directly with customers in tandem with the sales manager to educate on the value and benefit of using the OMNIA Partners cooperative contract • Attend trade shows and sales calls with selling team to promote OMNIA RFP Page 14 Partners contract • Update OMNIA Partners contract Pricing Workbook, as needed xii. Describe the financial condition of Offeror. AstroTurf Corporation is owned by SportGroup GmbH, today's true global sports surfacing giant, with manufacturing facilities around the world. Active in over 70 countries, SportGroup has installed more than 30,000 turf fields and running tracks. With it's world-wide footprint, Sport Group generates more than half a billion dollars in revenue annually and employs well over 1,000 people. Additional financial information is included herein Tab 3. xiii. Provide a website link in order to review website ease of use, availability, and capabilities related to ordering, returns and reporting. Describe the website's capabilities and functionality. Our products and services are sold exclusively through our direct sales team and dealer network within each brand. Due to the nature of synthetic turf sales, online ordering is impossible. All fields must be customized to the dimensions, conditions, and specifications that always vary on a case -by -case basis. However, our website (www.astroturf.com) has extensive product information and enables users to connect directly with their local sales manager. xiv. Describe the Offeror's safety record. Much like our history with on -time delivery, safety is an inherent function of the AstroTurf Corporation manufacturing and operations team. Our culture demands the industry's highest level of training to operate the complex machinery required to manufacture our products. In 2020 we had a near -perfect safety record and continue to employ strict standards throughout our manufacturing facilities and with on -site crews to ensure accidents are a rare occurrence. xv. Provide any additional information relevant to this section. RFP Page 15 I. SCOPE OF WORK Region 4 Education Service Center ("Region 4 ESC") requests proposals from qualified suppliers with the intent to enter into a Contract for Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material. Region 4 ESC is seeking a provider that has the depth, breadth and quality of resources necessary to complete all phases of the Contract. Awarded Offeror(s) shall deliver products and services under the terms of this agreement. While this solicitation specifically covers Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material, each awarded Offeror may offer their complete product and service offering, or balance of line. Region 4 ESC reserves the right to accept or reject any or all balance of line items offered. Region 4 ESC is an education service center established by the Texas Legislature in 1967 to assist school districts and charter schools in improving efficiencies. Region 4 ESC directly serves a seven -county area comprised of 48 public school districts and 40 open -enrollment charter schools, representing more than 1.2 million students, 101,000 educators and 1,500 campuses. Through cooperative contracts Region 4 ESC extends the opportunity to operate more efficiently and economically to agencies nationwide through OMNIA Partners (see below). The Contract is based on the need to provide the economic benefits of volume purchasing and reduction in administrative costs through cooperative purchasing to schools and other members. Although the awarded Offeror(s) may restrict sales to certain public units (for example, state agencies or local government units), any proposal that prohibits sales from being made to public school districts may not be considered. Sales without restriction are preferred. These types of contracts are commonly referred to as being "piggybackable." Due to the potential scope of work needed by Participating Public Agencies, awarded Contractor(s) may use unit prices established for the contracts specified by the latest version of the RSMeans Construction Procurement Catalog (Unit Price Book "UPB") when providing Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material products and services under a Master Agreement; in such cases, the UPB that may be utilized by an awarded Contractor(s) is incorporated by reference into this RFP. As part of the Products/Pricing section of this RFP, located under the Evaluation Process and Criteria, a national co -efficient for standard and non- standard hours is being requested as it relates to when/if a UPB is being utilized. All Offeror's are encouraged to submit including contractors, manufacturers, distributors, and dealers. Should an Awarded Offeror utilize distributors and/or dealers that have been approved, Participating Public Agencies may choose to issue work directly to the distributor and/or dealer if allowed by the Awarded Offeror and Participating Public Agency. NATIONAL CONTRACT Region 4 ESC, as the Principal Procurement Agency, defined in APPENDIX D, has partnered with OMNIA Partners, Public Sector ("OMNIA Partners") to make the resultant contract (also known as the "Master Agreement" in materials distributed by OMNIA Partners) from this solicitation available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary and higher education entities, non-profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit ("Public Agencies"), through OMNIA Partners' cooperative purchasing program. Region 4 ESC is acting as the contracting agency for any other Public Agency that elects to utilize the resulting Master Agreement. Use of the Master Agreement by any Public Agency is preceded by their registration with OMNIA Partners (a "Participating Public Agency") and by using the Master Agreement, any such Participating Public Agency RFP Page 2 agrees that it is registered with OMNIA Partners, whether pursuant to the terms of a Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto on APPENDIX D, or as otherwise agreed to. APPENDIX D contains additional information about OMNIA Partners and the cooperative purchasing program. OMNIA Partners is the largest and most experienced purchasing organization for public and private sector procurement. Through the economies of scale created by OMNIA Partners public sector subsidiaries and affiliates, National IPA and U.S. Communities, our participants now have access to more competitively solicited and publicly awarded cooperative agreements. The lead agency contracting process continues to be the foundation on which we are founded. OMNIA Partners is proud to offer more value and resources to state and local government, higher education, K-12 education and non -profits. OMNIA Partners provides shared services and supply chain optimization to government, education and the private sector. With corporate, pricing and sales commitments from the Offeror, OMNIA Partners provides marketing and administrative support for the Offeror that directly promotes the Offeror's products and services to Participating Public Agencies though multiple channels, each designed to promote specific products and services to Public Agencies on a national basis. Participating Public Agencies benefit from pricing based on aggregate spend and the convenience of a contract that has already been advertised and publicly competed. The Offeror benefits from a contract that generally allows Participating Public Agencies to directly purchase goods and services without the Offeror's need to respond to additional competitive solicitations. As such, the Offeror must be able to accommodate a nationwide demand for services and to fulfill obligations as a nationwide Offeror and respond to the OMNIA Partners documents (APPENDIX D). While no minimum volume is guaranteed to the Contractor, the estimated annual volume of Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material purchased under the Master Agreement through OMNIA Partners is approximately $80M. This projection is based on the current annual volumes among Region 4 ESC, other Participating Public Agencies anticipated to utilize the resulting Master Agreement to be made available to them through OMNIA Partners, and volume growth into other Public Agencies through a coordinated marketing approach between the Contractor and OMNIA Partners. RFP Page 3 Appendix D Requirements for National Cooperative Contract To Be Administered by OMNIA Partners The following documents are used in evaluating and administering national cooperative contracts and are included for Supplier's review and response. Exhibit A — Response for National Cooperative Contract Exhibit B — Administration Agreement, Example Exhibit C — Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, Example Exhibit D — Principal Procurement Agency Certificate, Example Exhibit E — Contract Sales Reporting Template Exhibit F — Federal Funds Certifications Exhibit G — New Jersey Business Compliance Exhibit H — Advertising Compliance Requirement Version July 27, 2021 Exhibit A Response for National Cooperative Contract 1.0 Scope of National Cooperative Contract Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Master Agreement or in the Administration Agreement between Supplier and OMNIA Partners. 1.1 Requirement Region 4 ESC (hereinafter defined and referred to as "Principal Procurement Agency"), on behalf of itself and the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance Company, a Delaware corporation d/b/a OMNIA Partners, Public Sector ("OMNIA Partners"), is requesting proposals for Sport Surfaces, Installation, and Related Material. The intent of this Request for Proposal is any contract between Principal Procurement Agency and Supplier resulting from this Request for Proposal ("Master Agreement") be made available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary and higher education entities, non-profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit ("Public Agencies"), through OMNIA Partners' cooperative purchasing program. The Principal Procurement Agency has executed a Principal Procurement Agency Certificate with OMNIA Partners, an example of which is included as Exhibit D, and has agreed to pursue the Master Agreement. Use of the Master Agreement by any Public Agency is preceded by their registration with OMNIA Partners as a Participating Public Agency in OMNIA Partners' cooperative purchasing program. Registration with OMNIA Partners as a Participating Public Agency is accomplished by Public Agencies entering into a Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, an example of which is attached as Exhibit C, and by using the Master Agreement, any such Participating Public Agency agrees that it is registered with OMNIA Partners, whether pursuant to the terms of the Master Intergovernmental Purchasing Cooperative Agreement or as otherwise agreed to. The terms and pricing established in the resulting Master Agreement between the Supplier and the Principal Procurement Agency will be the same as that available to Participating Public Agencies through OMNIA Partners. All transactions, purchase orders, invoices, payments etc., will occur directly between the Supplier and each Participating Public Agency individually, and neither OMNIA Partners, any Principal Procurement Agency nor any Participating Public Agency, including their respective agents, directors, employees or representatives, shall be liable to Supplier for any acts, liabilities, damages, etc., incurred by any other Participating Public Agency. Supplier is responsible for -knowing the tax laws in each state. This Exhibit A defines the expectations for qualifying Suppliers based on OMNIA Partners' requirements to market the resulting Master Agreement nationally to Public Agencies. Each section in this Exhibit A refers to the capabilities, requirements, obligations, and prohibitions of competing Suppliers on a national level in order to serve Participating Public Agencies through OMNIA Partners. Version July 27, 2021 These requirements are incorporated into and are considered an integral part of this RFP. OMNIA Partners reserves the right to determine whether to make the Master Agreement awarded by the Principal Procurement Agency available to Participating Public Agencies, in its sole and absolute discretion, and any party submitting a response to this RFP acknowledges that any award by the Principal Procurement Agency does not obligate OMNIA Partners to make the Master Agreement available to Participating Procurement Agencies. 1.2 Marketing, Sales and Administrative Support During the term of the Master Agreement OMNIA Partners intends to provide marketing, sales, partnership development and administrative support for Supplier pursuant to this section that directly promotes the Supplier's products and services to Participating Public Agencies through multiple channels, each designed to promote specific products and services to Public Agencies on a national basis. OMNIA Partners will assign the Supplier a Director of Partner Development who will serve as the main point of contact for the Supplier and will be responsible for managing the overall relationship between the Supplier and OMNIA Partners.

Individual sales calls B. Joint sales calls C. Communications/customer service D. Training sessions for Public Agency teams E. Training sessions for Supplier teams Version July 27, 2021 The OMNIA Partners contracting teams will work in conjunction with Supplier to promote the Master Agreement to both existing Participating Public Agencies and prospective Public Agencies through: A. Serving as the subject matter expert for questions regarding joint powers authority and state statutes and regulations for cooperative purchasing B. Training sessions for Public Agency teams C. Training sessions for Supplier teams D. Regular business reviews to monitor program success E. General contract administration Suppliers are required to pay an Administrative Fee of 3% of the greater of the Contract Sales under the Master Agreement and Guaranteed Contract Sales under this Request for Proposal. Supplier will be required to execute the OMNIA Partners Administration Agreement (Exhibit B). 1.3 Estimated Volume The dollar volume purchased under the Master Agreement is estimated to be approximately $80M annually. While no minimum volume is guaranteed to Supplier, the estimated annual volume is projected based on the current annual volumes among the Principal Procurement Agency, other Participating Public Agencies that are anticipated to utilize the resulting Master Agreement to be made available to them through OMNIA Partners, and volume growth into other Public Agencies through a coordinated marketing approach between Supplier and OMNIA Partners. 1.4 Award Basis The basis of any contract award resulting from this RFP made by Principal Procurement Agency will, at OMNIA Partners' option, be the basis of award on a national level through OMNIA Partners. If multiple Suppliers are awarded by Principal Procurement Agency under the Master Agreement, those same Suppliers will be required to extend the Master Agreement to Participating Public Agencies through OMNIA Partners. Utilization of the Master Agreement by Participating Public Agencies will be at the discretion of the individual Participating Public Agency. Certain terms of the Master Agreement specifically applicable to the Principal Procurement Agency (e.g. governing law) are subject to modification for each Participating Public Agency as Supplier, such Participating Public Agency and OMNIA Partners shall agree without being in conflict with the Master Agreement as a condition of the Participating Agency's purchase and not a modification of the Master Agreement applicable to all Participating Agencies. Participating Agencies may request to enter into a separate supplemental agreement to further define the level of service requirements over and above the minimum defined in the Master Agreement (i.e. invoice requirements, order requirements, specialized delivery, diversity requirements such as minority and woman owned businesses, historically underutilized business, governing law, etc.) ("Supplemental Agreement"). It shall be the responsibility of the Supplier to comply, when applicable, with the prevailing wage Version July 27, 2021 legislation in effect in the jurisdiction of the Participating Agency. It shall further be the responsibility of the Supplier to monitor the prevailing wage rates as established by the appropriate department of labor for any increase in rates during the term of the Master Agreement and adjust wage rates accordingly. In instances where supplemental terms and conditions create additional risk and cost for Supplier, Supplier and Participating Public Agency may negotiate additional pricing above and beyond the stated contract not -to -exceed pricing so long as the added price is commensurate with the additional cost incurred by the Supplier. Any supplemental agreement developed as a result of the Master Agreement is exclusively between the Participating Agency and the Supplier (Contract Sales are reported to OMNIA Partners). All signed Supplemental Agreements and purchase orders issued and accepted by the Supplier may survive expiration or termination of the Master Agreement. Participating Agencies' purchase orders may exceed the term of the Master Agreement if the purchase order is issued prior to the expiration of the Master Agreement. Supplier is responsible for reporting all sales and paying the applicable Administrative Fee for sales that use the Master Agreement as the basis for the purchase order, even though Master Agreement may have expired. 1.5 Objectives of Cooperative Program This RFP is intended to achieve the following objectives regarding availability through OMNIA Partners' cooperative program: A. Provide a comprehensive competitively solicited and awarded national agreement offering the Products covered by this solicitation to Participating Public Agencies; B. Establish the Master Agreement as the Supplier's primary go to market strategy to Public Agencies nationwide; C. Achieve cost savings for Supplier and Public Agencies through a single solicitation process that will reduce the Supplier's need to respond to multiple solicitations and Public Agencies need to conduct their own solicitation process; D. Combine the aggregate purchasing volumes of Participating Public Agencies to achieve cost effective pricing. 2.0 REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS As a condition to Supplier entering into the Master Agreement, which would be available to all Public Agencies, Supplier must make certain representations, warranties and covenants to both the Principal Procurement Agency and OMNIA Partners designed to ensure the success of the Master Agreement for all Participating Public Agencies as well as the Supplier. 2.1 Corporate Commitment Supplier commits that (1) the Master Agreement has received all necessary corporate authorizations and support of the Supplier's executive management, (2) the Master Agreement is Supplier's primary "go to market" strategy for Public Agencies, (3) the Master Agreement will be promoted to all Public Agencies, including any existing Version July 27, 2021 customers, and Supplier will transition existing customers, upon their request, to the Master Agreement, and (4) that the Supplier has read and agrees to the terms and conditions of the Administration Agreement with OMNIA Partners and will execute such agreement concurrent with and as a condition of its execution of the Master Agreement with the Principal Procurement Agency.

IV. EVALUATION PROCESS AND CRITERIA c) Qualification and Experience i. Provide a brief history of the Offeror, including year it was established and corporate office location. AstroTurf got its name from the Houston Astrodome, where it was first used in a professional sports venue in 1966. The space race was in full swing. It was a time of palpable optimism. A certain belief that man could conquer the constraints of nature with ingenuity and forward -thinking progress pervaded. The Astrodome was built in the midst of this feverish pursuit of the impossible. It was the first domed stadium and it was a marvel of sports architecture. There was a major problem, though. The clear Lucite panels that comprised the dome created a glare. Astros outfielders and their opponents were blinded as they attempted — and failed — to catch pop -ups. The initial solution was to paint the ceiling to cut the glare. It worked, but another problem arose. Deprived of adequate sunlight, the grass died! Meanwhile, Monsanto had invented a new product they called "ChemGrass", a synthetic grass replica. The Astrodome brought in Monsanto to install ChemGrass and it was a great success, and Monsanto capitalized on the popularity of its high -profile installation to rebrand their grass replica. Thus the "AstroTurf" brand was born. Over the half century since AstroTurf was first installed in Houston, technology has rapidly improved. NASA scientists no longer use the same computers or slide rules to calculate trajectories. And now 50 years later, AstroTurf products come ever closer to replicating the feel, performance, and safety of the gold standard — natural grass. AstroTurf Corporation is headquartered in Dalton, GA. ii. Describe Offeror's reputation in the marketplace. The inventor of synthetic turf, reinvented yet again, AstroTurf® is one of the most iconic brands in American sports -- as legendary as the athletes who've battled on it. The brand that created the industry is once again the leading innovator in synthetic turf. AstroTurf was the first company to manufacture turf and successfully market it to the public in the 1960s. Over the years AstroTurf has evolved and become extremely innovative, providing solutions for more applications and sport types. American -owned and operated, AstroTurf is the first synthetic turf brand with true vertical asset integration, ensuring that every inch of product meets and exceeds the highest standards of performance, quality and durability. With over 50 years of experience and hundreds of thousands of turf in use worldwide, AstroTurf brings more technological expertise and real -world know-how to the game than any other brand. AstroTurf also applies its focus on innovation to its commitment to player safety. Proof of this is our multi -million dollar investment in the University of Tennessee's Center for Athletic Field Safety. iii. Describe Offeror's reputation of products and services in the marketplace. Guided by the philosophy of "More Fiber, Less Fill", AstroTurf is producing superior products that perform more like natural grass, bringing new advances to market faster than the competition. And our corporate product philosophy has been validated by scientific, independent testing. In a Michigan State study funded by NFL Charities, the AstroTurf GameDay Grass 3D system with all -rubber infill had the lowest average torque of all synthetic turf systems tested, second only to natural grass. Researchers credited the fiber structure of the AstroTurf system, the only fiber structure containing a "RootZone" — a simulated thatch layer at the base of the system — with a low level of frictional resistance. Researchers also noted that the RootZone reduces the amount of infill required for a stable system and may reduce compaction of the infill layer. Ultimately, AstroTurf products and services are driven by our focus on the customer's needs. AstroTurf strives to clearly communicate with the customer to fulfill their needs and answer all questions along the way. A new field is a big investment, which AstroTurf understands. Our products are put through dozens of tests internally to guarantee that our product performs as it should, benefiting from years of proprietary innovations in manufacturing, extrusion, installation and recycling that are out -pacing industry trends. Our customers regard us trusted consultants, and the letters we continue to receive from field owners testify to our leadership in the marketplace. iv. Describe the experience and qualification of key employees. The AstroTurf tradition has been carried forward by our executive leadership and key sales and operations managers throughout the company who further refined the "In -Depth Sales Process" for artificial turf, dating back to the 1970s. This sales process was the key to AstroTurf's early success and domination of the market for many years. Other key sales and marketing managers with the company have decades of collective experience and are fully familiar with all aspects of the sales process for turn -key all-weather turf and sports surfacing solutions for public sector institutions. Most have specialized in turf and track sales to government buyers for years at various companies or at AstroTurf and bring unmatched experience to our team, many having deep experience with cooperative sales. Most impressive, our team's combined experience in the industry surpasses 100 years... and counting! v. Describe Offeror's experience working with the government sector. With over 75% of our sales to public agencies, AstroTurf Corporation has an extensive history of success meeting the needs of government customers. Our sales are highest to K-12 agencies (both public and private), followed by Higher Education (public and private), while steady growth continues with County and Municipal government. With government institutions composing the greatest segment of AstroTurf's customer base, our seasoned sales, management, and administrative teams have developed an expert understanding of the intricacies of doing business with both the educational and municipal markets. A review of our list of references reveals that AstroTurf has extensive experience selling to and servicing the public sector, with hundreds of sports fields sold over the past few years alone. We have collective staff experience of well over 200 years specializing in sports facility sales to public institutions. The vital importance of this market has driven us to develop a consistent, managed, and focused approach to serving governmental institutions. For example, we understand the roles that are played at every level of the educational setting and realize the complex interactions between facilities managers, coaches, athletic directors, school boards, and superintendents ultimately determine a school's selection of an athletic surface. As such, we strive to cultivate relationships with each and facilitate communication between them. The need to build relationships with all decision makers is why we participate in more than 60 Education market trade shows annually rather than only focused on athletic trade shows. Our reputation for outstanding customer service and product excellence is critical for properly serving this market and testifies to our dedicated approach to providing the highest quality athletic facilities to this market. Our extensive experience with the government market and our commitment to quality are the bedrock of our firm belief in the cooperative purchasing model. Time and again we have seen schools, in the face of diminished resources, waste time and dollars conducting their own public bid at the local level. Frequently, these schools select the lowest priced, worst quality products and services, often in direct opposition to the wishes of the end user and administrators within the organization. These choices are driven by short-term financial constraints, ignorance of other options, and customary practices, and come at the long-term expense of students' safety and ultimately result in greater expense to the institutions and taxpayers alike through premature replacements, the hassles of warranty claims, etc. It is our belief and experience that public sector customers buying AstroTurf products via a cooperative agreement pay consistently fair prices and receive consistently superior quality. vi. Describe past litigation, bankruptcy, reorganization, state investigations of entity or current officers and directors. Over the last several years, AstroTurf has experienced an unparalleled growth in market share and brand recognition, with a 250+% increase in sales between 2010 and 2015. It has been extremely gratifying to see the hard work of our sales, installation and R&D teams be recognized in the marketplace. However, the time had come for the next chapter in the history of the AstroTurf brand, and indeed of the sports surfacing industry. The sale of substantially all of AstroTurf's assets to Sport Group Holdings GmbH was approved on August 12, 2016 and closed on August 19, 2016. By joining Sport Group, AstroTurf has formed arguably the largest outdoor sports surfacing company in the world. This sale was completed through Chapter 11 proceedings, a necessary step to consummate the sale of AstroTurf to Sport Group free and clear of any liabilities associated with a patent lawsuit that originated in 2010 between AstroTurf, LLC and a competitor. Now under Sport Group, the AstroTurf brand is stronger than ever before. A new company AstroTurf Corporation was formed. AstroTurf Corporation is not involved in any patent litigation, nor is it in bankruptcy. We are well -funded, our thirdparty insured warranty program remains in effect, our manufacturing capacity is expanded, and we maintain significant bonding capabilities. vii.

While everyone recognizes the name, not everyone knows the history. AstroTurf got its name from the Houston Astrodome, where it was first used in a professional sports venue in 1966. The space race was in full swing. It was a time of palpable optimism. A certain belief that man could conquer the constraints of nature with ingenuity and forward - thinking progress pervaded. The Astrodome was built in the midst of this feverish pursuit of the impossible. It was the first domed stadium and it was a marvel of sports architecture. There was a major problem, though. The clear Lucite panels that comprised the dome created a glare. Astros outfielders and their opponents were blinded as they attempted — and failed — to catch pop -ups. The initial solution was to paint the ceiling to cut the glare. It worked, but another problem arose. Deprived of adequate sunlight, the grass died! Meanwhile, Monsanto had invented a brand-new prod- uct they called "ChemGrass". During the Korean War, the U.S. Army had found urban recruits to be less physi- cally fit than rural recruits. Attributing this to lack of green space in cities, the Ford Foundation funded re- search for Monsanto to create a synthetic grass replica. The Astrodome brought Monsanto in to install ChemGrass. It was a great success, and Monsanto capitalized on the popularity of its high -profile installation to rebrand their grass replica. Thus the "AstroTurf" brand was born. Over the half century since AstroTurf was first installed in Houston, technology has rapidly improved. NASA scientists no longer use the same computers or slide rules to calculate trajectories. And these days, AstroTurf products come ever closer to replicating the feel, performance, and safety of the gold standard — natural grass. It's all about performance. AstroTurf® WELCOME TO THE SECOND HALF... ...OF THE ASTROTURF CENTURY. Today, AstroTurf is owned by SportGroup. As a SportGroup company, AstroTurf harnesses its history of forward -thinking ingenuity and disciplined R&D to continuously improve its systems. SportGroup is today's true global sports surfac- ing giant, with manufacturing facilities around the world. Active in over 70 countries, SportGroup has installed more than 30,000 turf fields and running tracks. SportGroup was created by selective ac- quisitions of the leading turf, track, indoor and out- door sports surface manufacturers and installers. This amalgamation of innovation and technol- ogy also includes the manufacturers and mar- keters of key raw materials used in all as- pects of the sports surfacing industry. 1111dtol:I:to] 1111CVAllll:M111173•]74IF-1 A quest to bring AstroTurf's systems ever closer to the playability of natural grass drives us to place extensive reliance upon innovation and research. Today's cutting edge is tomorrow's dull blade, though, so there's no rest for our diligent engineers, designers, and technicians. AstroTurf's longtime system developers now liaise with other SportGroup engineers and chemists. Groundbreaking innovations include: RootZone® This texturized fiber layer encapsulates in - fill for minimal rubber splash, better shock absorption, and less infill migration than ba- sicsystems. The RootZone improves safety, playability, and durability, making this a top choice for athletes and field owners alike. 10 Independtnly funded research by Michigan state has shown the RootZone to reduce torque transmitted to lower extremities. Trionic® Fiber AstroTurf now offers the TRIONIC fiber. This patent -pending development is a feat of chemical engineering never before achieved in the history of our industry. TRIONIC combines player friendly PE with ultra - durable nylon to deliver the ultimate fiber. Entanglement To prevent splitting of the face fiber, we cross and entangle molecular side - chains to reinforce any weak spots that would form between the main molecu- lar chains that run the length of the fiber. AstroTurf. #OnOurTurf AstroTurf is now in the enviable position of enjoying a completely vertical and fully integrated environment, where all of its ideas can be brought to life in a market hungry for innovation. sportgroup THE SURFACE SPECIALISTS UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE This multimillion dollar investment by AstroTurf is a testa- ment to the company's commitment to the industry and its clients.

CONTROLLING OUR DESTINY AstroTurf Corporation boasts vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities for end -to -end control over the quality of its products and one point of responsibility. In 2017 AstroTurf opened its brand new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dalton, GA. This plant has a massive footprint and spans approximately 400,000 square feet under one roof. Moving our existing equipment to the new plant, integrating it with new equipment, retrofitting concrete and upgrading electrical capacities to handle our demands —all while continuing to run our business in our largest year to date —was a logistical challenge of monumental proportions. It was all worth it though. The boost in volume capacity and enhancement of logistical integration enables us to respond to market demands with high quality products. Moving from one end of the building to the other, you can witness the manufacturing of virtually every step of the product.

BLEACHERS. MORE. AstroTurf has the extensive resources required for successful Design -Build Contracting. Design -Build is exactly what it sounds like -- a single point of responsibility and a contract that covers both the design and building phases of the project. Design -Build contracting expedites the process and makes it easier for the Owner - one point of contact, one responsible party, and one contract to negotiate. The Design -Build Contractor handles the headaches of design, permitting, and construction. While Design -Build contracting is streamlined, it can be risky. It's important to carefully vet your partner to ensure that they have the bonding line and infrastructure to perform. Otherwise the Owner can incur project delays, change orders, or worse -- total failure to perform. AstroTurf possesses the intellectual and financial resources to steer a project from concept to completion. This infrastructure has expanded in recent years through a series of strategic acquisitions. AstroTurf employs ASBA-Certified Field Builders on staff, directly employed construction and installation crews, and permanent construction hub offices across the country. Plus, AstroTurf employs Professional Engineers/Architects who can stamp drawings, as well as decades -long relationships with the nation's top sports facility design firms, with which we can partner in a joint venture.

ELF M INA 1-1 NG ALL CAPS Astr( _at f6 THE QUESTION You have questions. We have answers. Our representatives in the field often run into questions about the recent bankruptcy and sale to SportGroup. Although two separate issues, these questions are often a result of damaging misinformation, sometimes deliberately placed by our competitors. THE FACTS So, here's the whole story. Businesses go through interesting times when they survive for more than half a century. Sometimes it's a result of the economy, new inventions, growth of technology, changes within an industry, consumer trends, or regulatory upheaval. Sometimes it's just bad management. But most of the time it's purely strategic. Businesses are bought and sold by larger industries as they unload or acquire assets to meet their future goals. HISTORY Over the last 60 years, AstroTurf has been at the very tip of the artificial turf industry - an industry it created. Monsanto developed the first artificial grass product in response to a US Military study that found that urban recruits were less physically fit than their rural counterparts. When the Astrodome was faced with a major hurdle - grass that wouldn't grow under the first modern sports dome - Monsanto delivered a solution and renamed its synthetic grass product "AstroTurf" after its first famous installation. Throughout the ensuing decades, the AstroTurf brand was bought and sold multiple times. If one looks at any successful company that has survived 50 years or more, one will see that this process is rather typical. It is a natural progression, as smaller companies grow into larger ones, achieve success and expand to service a global market. The story of AstroTurf is just like that of any successful brand whose products become established around the world. SPORTGROUP In 2016, AstroTurf was acquired by SportGroup. The success of AstroTurf's products is a direct result of its constant innovation and massive investments in research and development. Joining the global sports surfacing giant, SportGroup, was an ideal match. It brought together the inventors of artificial turf (AstroTurf) and the inventors of modern running tracks (Rekortan). It also made AstroTurf more vertically integrated and provided an opportunity for groundbreaking collaboration on a global scale never before seen.

Since the 1990s, AstroTurf and FieldTurf have faced off against each other in regular court battles. It's a fact of corporate life. Each side sued and each side defended. And in the various outcomes, both sides were sometimes winners and sometimes losers. The most recent case, where FieldTurf had won its first round against AstroTurf LLC, came at a time when SportGroup was in the final stages of negotiating its purchase of AstroTurf. The 5 year battle with FieldTurf resulted in legal wrangling that couldn't have come at a worse time. AstroTurf was on the verge of introducing exciting new technologies and product innovations that were to take artificial turf to the next level, and AstroTurf leaders knew that membership in the SportGroup would be key to the long-term success of the brand. CONTINUOUS WARRANTY PROTECTION SportGroup voluntarily assumed all AstroTurf, LLC's warranties in the sale to ensure continuous protection for all AstroTurf clients. In order to make the sale of substantially all of AstroTurf LLC's assets to SportGroup possible, AstroTurf, LLC entered Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings. Bankruptcy was the only way to enable SportGroup to proceed with the acquisition Moreover, SportGroup voluntarily assumed all AstroTurf, LLC's warranties in the sale to ensure continuous protection for all AstroTurf clients. ASTROCOMMUNICATIONS @ THE RIGHT DECISION AstroTurf sales up more than 40% It was the right decision to make at the time. That decision has already been proven fruitful - one year after the sale to SportGroup closed, AstroTurf sales were up more than 40% and new technologies and products were introduced to market. PEOPLE POWER AstroTurf still led by a team of industry veterans Through the years, AstroTurf has never compromised on its DNA of innovation and customer service. Today AstroTurf is still led by a team of industry veterans. They are experienced, committed people dedicated to upholding the brand's core values. They're at the helm, steering it toward the future. These leaders represent the real human assets that have been behind the company all along. The changes in ownership over these 50 plus years have always been strategic, to ensure the financial, manufacturing and technological capital necessary to continue the success of this iconic American brand. THE FUTURE Now with SportGroup, we begin the second half ...of the AstroTurf century.

DeWolfe Vice President of Sales AstroTurf Corporation M : 248.840.8074 W: www.astroturf.com E: tdewolfe@astroturf.com 24 April 2019 Dear Todd: Beginning 2010, the University of Tennessee (UT) Center for Athletic Field Safety (CAFS) established a working relationship with Astroturf, LLC to independently test the performance and playability of different synthetic turf systems. A major component of the testing at the UT CAFS includes identifying characteristics of synthetic turf to have it perform similar to natural grass. Specifically, data from research -based studies have discovered synthetic turf systems with lower pile heights, higher density, and finer infill significantly reduces infill displacement. This results in less maintenance, and more consistent and uniform playing surface. More so, maintaining playing surface consistency, and not reducing infill depth (preventing too much fiber reveal) have resulted in lower rotational traction forces. It should be noted that no synthetic turf system has rotational forces that match natural grass. However, the aforementioned conditions (lower pile heights, higher density, and finer infill) provide the closest rotational forces; while, maintaining surface consistencies (infill stability). Upon reviewing the literature, "The effects of various infills, fibre structures, and shoe designs on generating rotational traction on an artificial surface" (Villwock, et, al.), the findings of this research conducted at Michigan State University supports findings researched and identified at the UT CAFS. This includes the presence of a thatch layer that lessons cleat penetration, conversely resulting in lower rotational forces. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding current and previous research studies conducted at the UT CAFS.

To our knowledge, no other turf manufacturer takes back the chain of control to this critical step. The masterbatch is like the DNA of the fibers. Masterbatch is the "special sauce" that contains the UV stabilizers, color, heat resistance and other critical factors that influence the performance of the fibers. Sport Group's masterbatch formulations were developed in Germany by some of the world's foremost polymer chemists, who are directly employed by the Sport Group. The masterbatch formulation is consistent across the globe for all Sport Group synthetic turf fibers. • RootZone Turf System: AstroTurf specializes in producing the properly texturized monofilament fiber. RootZone systems are the majority of our business. We manufacture and install more RootZone systems than any other competitor in the industry, perhaps even combined. RootZones help limit infill splash and infill migration leaving the owner with less maintenance time and cost over the life of the field while having a more consistent playing surface. • Hybrid (SuperNatural) Infill: Melos SuperNatural is the first of its kind as a hybrid infill. This AstroTurf exclusive is a hybrid infill of EPDM and Hemp. SuperNatural is an absorbent EPDM/Hemp infill that provides shock absorption as well. EPDM is a highly durable rubber (SBR substitute) blended with super strong Hemp that allows for cooling when the field absorbs moisture. The highest performing infill for the highest performing athletes. • Zeolite Infill (Clinoptilolite): Zeolite infill is a volcanic mineral that absorbs 81% of its weight in water and slowly releases it. AstroTurf has an exclusive this infill and combines it with other infills as an aquafer to give even more cooling effect. Zeolite has a Moh's hardness level of 4.0 to 5.0 which is the optimal harness. Moh's below 4.0 can break down, while Moh's above 5.0 can be too abrasive. Only AstroTurf has access to this type of Numerous California fields have combined this with SuperNatural & our 3D1 turf system to make a one of a kind high performance turf system with natural infill. Only AstroTurf has access to this type of Clinoptilolite. • Trionic Monofilament Fiber: From its earliest inception until the 1990s, nylon was used nearly across the board for its superior resilience and strength. But the downside of all nylon fibers was well known. It was abrasive. In the 1990s, Polyethylene (PE) came into vogue and became the industry standard for tall pile face fibers. These PE fibers were much less abrasive, but they came at a cost —they sacrificed the strength that previous generations of turf fields offered... Until now. AstroTurf now offers the TRIONIC fiber. This patent -pending development is a feat of chemical engineering never before achieved in the history of our industry. TRIONIC combines player -friendly and non-abrasive PE with ultra -durable nylon using specialized Atrarf. R 3 molecular compatibilizers to unite the PE and nylon polymers, which ordinarily repel each other. The result is the ultimate fiber. It's a durable, attractive monofilament, and it's a game -changer. Our dedicated chemists have leveraged Entanglement Technology to further reinforce the fiber. Every PE molecular structure contains a main molecule chain, with side chains that branch out. As fibers are made, the resin and masterbatch pellets are melted down, extruded, and stretched. As the newly made fiber is stretched, those main molecular chains are lengthened along the direction they are stretched. This creates long molecular chains that run parallel to each other along the length of the fiber. In most fibers, with UV exposure and use, this lends itself to splitting lengthwise down the shaft of the fiber. To prevent splitting of the fiber, we entangle the side chains to reinforce any weak spots that would form between the main molecular chains. • Baseball I -Fiber: The I -Fiber is a combination of PE and nylon in 6 strands that is meant to lay down to create the most durable baseball infield system in the market. • Prefabrication: AstroTurf can have the inlays, endzone markings and logos installed in a controlled environment and then shipped to the owner's site. Installation times are shortened onsite for areas where weather can be an issue. The "Legacv" of AstroTurf 1.

Trionic Fiber • For the first time in the synthetic turf industry, our experts have molecularly fused Polyethylene (PE) and Nylon into a single "Trionic" fiber. • Trionic Monofilament combines player -friendly PE with ultra -durable Nylon using specialized molecular compatibilizers. • Some core systems use two PE compounds as a cost saving shortcut. Trionic fibers are PE and Nylon fused into a co -polymer and extruded as a single fiber. • Trionic fibers are entangled adding to their strength • AstroTurf won the 2019 Synthetic Turf Council Innovator of the Year award for our Trionic product. httr)s://www.svntheticturfcouncil.ore/oaize/2019 Innovator 6. Tighter Stitch Gauge • Our 3/8" stitch gauge creates quicker deceleration which also allows for quicker acceleration by athletes per the attached study by the University of Tennessee. AstroTurf. R 5 • MSU and UT both concur that tighter stitch gauge systems with interlocking infills and RootZone are the best option in decreasing the potential for foot lock to occur, thereby decreasing the risk of lower body injuries. 7. Infill Options • Multiple infill options for all types of turf applications, including several AstroTurf exclusives: Supernatural EPDM Hemp, Zeolite and Nike Grind. • SuperNatural Hemp features EPDM rubber with hemp fibers woven throughout the rubber materials. o Manufactured by another SportGroup company (Melos) o The hemp in SuperNatural EPDM wicks water cooling the field by up to 40 degrees versus SBR rubber • Zeolite is an organic mineral with a honeycomb shape that allows it to absorb and slowly release water for noticeably cooler field temperatures. o ZChill (used as a main infill system) and ZCap (used as a topdressing on standard SBR infill systems) are both exclusive to the AstroTurf family. • Nike Grind is also exclusive to AstroTurf o Created from high -quality performance materials originally designed for athletic products. o By recycling unused rubber from Nike's manufacturing process, we create a synthetic turf infill that delivers sustainability and performance. 8. Diamond Series — Baseball & Softball • Diamond Series features three unique fibers — slit film for durability, Trionic monofilament for aesthetics, and RootZone for playability. • The RootZone technology found in our Diamond Series provides a fast and natural playing surface in both 2" (RBI) and 1.5" (OPS) pile height for the grass parts of the field, and 1.5" (i- Fiber) pile height for the clay areas. • The RootZone also limits the amount of splash and migration, providing a more consistent playing surface throughout the course of a game, series or season. • Handles ball bounce and pace of baseball exactly like grass in every area of performance — outfield, infield, and base paths. • Fields can be custom tailored to the specific designs of the coach or facility through various infill patterns that can create a faster or slower playing surface. • Diamond shaped PE and nylon proprietary "i-Fiber" is specifically designed to lay over quickly and thereby replicate clay. • AstroTurf is the only manufacturer to incorporate nylon, providing realistic sliding distance and enhanced durability in the high wear areas of the baseball field. • Our ERA (Extra Resilience Area) provides 90 oz. of turf in the demanding areas of the pitcher's mound, batter's boxes and catcher's box. • ERA affords up to 8 times as much wear resistance as normal turf. • 80% of the NCAA D1 synthetic turf market have chosen AstroTurf for their baseball fields the past 3 years. • Of the 35 field installs in Washington in 2019, 15 of them (43%) were our Diamond Series. 9. LigaTurf — Soccer 0 • The world's pre-eminent family of turf systems designed specifically for soccer performance. • Found in most elite facilities across Europe, including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and at FIFA's World Headquarters. • Breakthrough technologies ensure that LigaTurf systems exceed all FIFA standards. • Includes a RootZone blend of both RootZone monofilament and non-RootZone monofilament fibers. • Facility owners, coaches and players confirm the ball roll and pace on LigaTurf is more like natural grass than any other turf system. 10. Safety • Our RootZone 3D3 system over a pad has shown to maintain lower GMax scores and proven to be one of the safer systems available. • Our RootZone system focus on proper cleat release is proving to help athletes avoid unnecessary lower extremity injuries. • Loss of infill, or migration of infill, shown to be a direct correlation to greater injuries, is significantly reduced with our RootZone system. • A Michigan State University (MSU) study found that "peak torques were significantly affected by infill type. The differences in torque may be due to the fineness of the infill, which is determined by the manufacturing process... may develop a relatively compacted structure of infill that leads to more cleat contact and greater rotational traction." • MSU and UT both concur that tighter stitch gauge systems with interlocking infills and RootZones are the best option for decreasing the potential for foot lock to occur, which decreases the risk for lower body injuries. • Higher fiber density, narrower gauge, and lower infill with ambient rubber and RootZone transmitted low peak torque while, conversely, a low fiber density, wider gauge and heavy infill systems caused 67% more ACL injuries and 31% more high ankle injuries compared to grass. 11. Maintenance • A University of Tennessee study on synthetic turf maintenance shows our RootZone system leads to less maintenance due to the reduction of infill splash and migration. • Testimonials from local owners have stated they spend up to a third of the time maintaining our AstroTurf field compared to our competitors' non -thatch fields. • While daily maintenance is encouraged, grooming high wear areas such as the goalie's box, corner kick, penalty kick, pitcher's mound, batter's boxes and slide areas are greatly reduced with our RootZone system per testimonials by Coaches, Athletic Directors and Facility Directors. 12. Multiple Options • AstroTurf provides buyers the opportunity to purchase the type of turf that best fits their project. • AstroTurf product lineup includes RootZone (thatch layer), Rhino (non -thatch), Diamond Series (Baseball/Softball), LigaTurf (Soccer), Classic (Field Hockey), PGPN and PureGrass (infill optional), NRG (NikeGrind infill series), and AstroPlay (GT series). 13.

THE ICON THAT INVENTED THE INDUSTRY ASTROTURF,COM about kSTROTURF AstroTurf — It's one of the most brands in sports. While everyone recognizes the name, not everyone knows the AstroTurf borrows its name from the Houston Astrodome, where it was first used in a professional sports venue over Fifty-five years ago. The space race was in full swing. It was a time of palpable optimism. A certain belief that man could conquer the constraints of nature with ingenuity and forward -thinking progress pervaded. The Astrodome was built during this feverish pursuit of the impossible. It was the first domed stadium and it was a marvel of sports architecture. There was a major problem, though. The clear Lucite panels that comprised the dome created a glare. Astros outfielders and their opponents were blinded as they attempted — and failed — to catch pop -ups. The initial solution was to paint the ceiling to cut the glare. It worked, but another problem arose. Deprived of adequate sunlight, the grass died! Meanwhile, Monsanto had just invented a brand-new product they called "ChemGrass". During the Korean War, the U.S. Army had found urban recruits to be less physically fit than rural recruits. Attributing this to lack of green space in cities, the Ford Foundation funded research for Monsanto to create a synthetic grass replica. The Astrodome brought Monsanto in to install ChemGrass. It was a great success, and Monsanto capitalized on the popularity of its high - profile installation to rebrand their grass replica. Thus the AstroTurf' brand was born. Over the half century since AstroTurf was first installed in Houston, technology has rapidly improved. AstroTurf® has continued to drive innovation within the industry and these days, AstroTurf® products come ever closer to replicating the feel, performance, and safety of the gold standard — natural grass. about SPORTGROUP AstroTurf continues to build on its golden past as part of Sport Group!

In 2017 AstroTurf opened its brand new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. This plant has a massive footprint and spans almost 400,000 square feet under one roof. Moving our existing equipment to the new plant, integrating it with new equipment, retrofitting concrete and upgrading electrical capacities to handle our demands —all while continuing to run our business in our largest year ever —was a logistical challenge of monumental proportions. It was all worth it though. The boost in volume capacity and enhancement of logistical integration enables us to respond to market demands with high quality products. Moving from one end of the building to the other, you can witness the manufacturing of almost every step of the product. WE CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY The unique demands of the synthetic turf industry require that we know exactly how our products will perform, especially with respect to fiber integrity. Our fields are often outdoors for a decade or longer, sustaining constant abuse, yet the safety and investment of our clients depend upon our products holding up. ITS ALL ABOUT QUALITY CONTROL Quality control is of paramount importance, We implement strict protocols that ensure that each field is tested during the manufacturing process to ensure it is being manufactured correctly. And - crucially important - we control the masterbatch formulation of our fibers. To our knowledge, no other turf manufacturer takes back the chain of control to this critical step. The masterbatch is like the DNA of the fibers. It is the "special sauce" that contains the UV stabilizers, color, heat resistance and other critical factors that influence the performance of the fibers. Sport Group's masterbatch formulations were developed in Germany by some of the world's foremost polymer chemists, who are directly employed by the Sport Group.

The surface you install is a combination of turf carpet (composed of grass -like fibers), infill and sometimes a shock absorbing pad. These elements work in concert with one another to comprise the turf system, and no single element should be looked at in a vacuum. These elements each contribute an integral effect to the overall system performance. AstroTurf has the widest array of tested, vetted fibers infills, and pads. Our experienced sales staff is available to help you evaluate the best fit for your uses and budget. Fiber is the most important element of the system. AstroTurf's fibers are engineered to withstand the years of abuse a typical field endures overthe course of its life. When the fiber is gone, the field must be replaced. That is why we advocate a "More Fiber, Less Fill" approach. We provide more fiber — and more advanced fiber — in the system to improve the performance over time. A dense carpet structure has important implications for player safety, too. All our systems use masterbatch formulations that are created in-house for the strongest fibers on the market. D !77 7r _ AstroTu rf ROOTZONE The RootZone 3D Series is Astroturf's most popular product line! The RootZone 3D Series adds a RootZone to basic infilled turf systems. The RootZone is a texturized layer of fibers that curl down to encapsulate infill. The RootZone dramatically reduces infill splash, which in turn yields better shock absorbency over time and less infill migration than basic systems. The RootZone improves safety, playability, and durability, making RootZone 3D systems the top choice for athletes and field owners alike. Importantly, independently funded research by Michigan State University has shown the RootZone to provide grass like traction and reduce torque transmitted to lower extremities.

Trionic FIBER Softer. Stronger. Lasts Longer. Finally, molecular fusion of nylon and polyethylene. Throughoutthe history of the syntheticturf industry, the great quest of manufacturers has been to blend polyethylene (PE) and nylon (PA) into a single fiber. From its earliest inception until the 1990s, nylon was used nearly across the board for its superior resilience and strength. The downside of all -nylon texturized fibers was well-known — it was abrasive. In the 1990s, PE came into vogue and became the industry standard fortall pile face fibers. These PE fibers were much less abrasive, but they came at a cost. These PE fields sacrificed the strength that previous generations of turf fields offered. AstroTurf now offers the TRIONIC fiber. This patent - pending development is a feat of chemical engineering never achieved in the history of our industry. TRIONIC combines player friendly PE with ultra -durable nylon to deliver the ultimate fiber. What makes Trionic so Different? While some core systems may use two polyethylene compounds as a cost -saving shortcut, Trionic fibers are a totally different technology. To produce Trionic, polyethylene and nylon molecules are fused into a copolymer and then extruded as a single fiber. This patent -pending process chemically blends polyethylene with nylon using sophisticated compatibilizers, providing softness AND durability. A FAA.

Lacrosse even has turf needs specific to the sport. Even, predictable footing and extreme durability (especially in the creases) are crucial. Lacrosse players move at a breakneck speed, and the turf cannot slow them down. Infill spray should be minimized to provide true and predictable bounce passes and bounce shots, AstroTurf's focus on "more fiber, less fill" is ideal for the sport of lacrosse. The RootZone 3D product line reduces lower extremity torque, creates even and predictable footing, reduces infill spray and enhances durability. That is a winning combination for Lacrosse players and field owners alike. RUGBY Rugby is a gentlemen's game, but a brutal sport. That's why AstroTurf is underfoot. For over half a century, AstroTurf has led the way in synthetic turf innovation and player protection.

Conversion SYSTEM' Since its inception, AstroTurf has dominated the niche conversion market within the synthetic turf industry. Indoor Turf CONVERSION TURF, MAGIC CARPET SYSTEM AstroTurf introduced the world to synthetic sports turf in the 1960s, thereby changing athletic competition forever. It went on to invent conversion systems (Magic Carpet, AstroHopper, and AstroLift) that have fundamentally altered stadium operations, affording arenas previously unknown flexibility and revenue opportunities. In fact, AstroTurf conversion systems have been in use since the installation of AstroTurf at the Houston AstroDome in 1966. This system was the forerunner of the AstroHopper type system. AstroTurf installed convertible systems at virtually all the high - profile venues through the 70s, 80s and 90s. The advent of third generation (tall -pile, rubber filled) systems in the late 1990s accelerated the turf industry. The softer feel of the polyethylene blades and cushioned support of the infill were favored by athletes. However, these systems posed a unique challenge to stadiums wishing to host multiple events and sports. Problems arose with containing the infill, and machinery did not have sufficient power to lift the turf containing the 20,000 recycled tires used in the new systems. Living up to its historical commitment to these facilities, AstroTurf rose to the challenge, In 2008, we designed and installed a Magic Carpet system for the University of Northern Michigan that could successfully roll up tall pile turf without infill. In 2010, the current Magic Carpet II (MCII) system was installed at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri. The product is the latest and greatest in turf technology — a 3D product with rubber infill. The AstroHopper system was simultaneously improved upon, and it too was redesigned to handle heavy, infilled turf. This system was selected as the conversion system of choice for the Rogers Centre and Toronto Blue Jays in 2010 and again in 2015. AstroTurf. I THE ICON THAT INVENTED THE INDUSTRY Multifield PROJECT� GO BIG with AstroTurf! The sports tourism industry is booming. More and more multifield complexes open every year. These facilities are designed to be meccas for traveling teams. They aim to provide guests with everything they need for successful tournaments — hotels, shopping — of course, high quality athletic surfaces. Building these large facilities and hosting community events, travel teams and tournaments demand a lot. The level of investment — whether private dollars, public dollars or a blend — requires that every step of the process from concept to completion is executed efficiently. The solvency of the facility and the economic impact on the community depend upon thorough attention to every detail. Synthetic turf is practically a requirement for the long-term success of multifield complexes. Maintenance of the natural grass surfaces at complexes with large footprints quickly becomes unfeasible, at least at a level thatjustifies the rental fees that keep these facilities in business. Just as sports tourism facilities provide a one -stop destination for teams and families, AstroTurf serves as indispensable partner in the process — standing side by side during the entire process.

DOI: 10.1243 / 17543371 JSET26 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of infill material and fibre structure on the rotational traction associated with American football shoes on infill-based artificial surfaces. A mobile testing apparatus with a compliant ankle was used to apply rota- tions and measure the torque produced at the football shoe —surface interface. The mechanical surrogate was used to compare three infill materials in combination with three fibre structures, creating a total of nine unique surfaces. Infill material, fibre structure, and shoe design were all found to significantly affect rotational traction. The cryogenically processed styrene—butadiene rubber (SBR) infill yielded significantly higher peak torques than the ambient ground SBR and extruded thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) infills. An artificial surface with a nylon root zone yielded significantly lower peak torques than similar fibre surfaces without a nylon root zone. The size of infill particles and the presence of a nylon root zone may influence the compactness of the infill layer. These features may act to alter the amount of cleat contact with the infill, thereby influencing rotational traction. The amount of cleat contact with the surface may also be determined by the shoe design. Keywords: rotational traction, artificial surface, ankle, knee, injury 1 INTRODUCTION Injuries to the lower extremity are among the most frequent injuries for all levels of sports, and often account for more than 50 per cent of reported inju- ries [1]. In the US National Football League (NFL), ankle and knee sprains combine to account for about 20 per cent of all reported injuries [2, 31. These injuries can occur during contact between players or in non -contact situations, such as a rapid change in direction or with a combination of high compres- sive load and twist during a jump landing [4, 51. Frequently, the mechanism of injury involves a foot planted on the playing surface with an excessive rotation of the upper body [6]. *Corresponding author: Orthopaedic Biomechanics Labora- tories, Michigan State University, A407 East Fee Hall, East Lansing, Michigan, MI48824, USA. email: haut@msu.edu JSET26 © IMechE 2009 Traction is defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Committee on Sports Equipment and Facilities to be the resistance to rela- tive motion between a shoe outsole and a sports sur- face that does not necessarily obey classical (Coulomb) laws of friction [7]. While linear traction is necessary for high-level performance during any athletic contest [8], it is generally accepted that excessive rotational traction may precipitate ankle and knee injuries [9-12]. A previous study of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in high school football players documented a significant relationship between cleat design, the amount of rotational traction, and the risk of ACL injury on grass [10]. The edge cleat design produced significantly higher rotational traction and was asso- ciated with an ACL injury rate 3.4 times higher than that of all other designs combined. Other studies have noted differences of injury rate in the presence or absence of specific risk factors, such as whether the surface was natural grass or an Proc. IMechE Vol. 223 Part P: J. Sports Engineering and Technology Downloaded from pip.sagepub.com by guest on August 13, 2012 12 M R Villwock, E G Meyer, J W Powell, A J Fouty, and R C Haut artificial surface. These differences in injury rate may be due to variations in the structure and materials of the turfs [13], the running speed of the players [14], or the coefficient of friction between the surface and shoe [15]. The injury risk factor may also depend on the player's position and the type of play at the time of injury, both of which could influence the mechanisms of loading on the lower extremity [2, 3]. Although rotational traction has been documented in previous studies (usually as the peak torque mag- nitude recorded during dynamic testing), it has been primarily focused on natural grass and the older generation of short -pile artificial surface [9, 10, 12, 16]. Modern synthetic surfaces used in professional, collegiate, and high school sports are in sharp con- trast to the dense and abrasive turfs that were intro- duced in the 1970s. Artificial surfaces now consist of longer, more grass -like fibres that are surrounded and stabilized by infill materials, such as rubber and sand. The influence of these individual components on the rotational traction characteristics of an infill artificial surface is unknown. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of infill material and fibre structure on the rotational traction associated with American football shoes on infill-based artificial surfaces. The hypothesis of this study was that artificial surfaces with small infill particles and/or a fibre layout that allow greater infill contact with the cleats will pro- duce higher peak torques than surfaces with larger infill particles and/or a fibre layout that limits the infill contact with the cleats. A better understanding of how different components of the artificial surface affect rotational traction may aid in the design of future surfaces. The results presented here also have relevance to studies on the risk potential for rota- tional lower leg injuries on current and future surface designs. 2 METHODS 2.1 Infill and fibre materials Three infill materials were evaluated in this study: (a) cryogenically processed styrene—butadiene rub- ber (SBR) crumb infill (PermaLife Products, LLC, Guttenberg, New Jersey) (`A') [17]; (b) ambient ground SBR crumb infill (PermaLife Products, LLC, Guttenberg, New Jersey) (W) [17]; (c) extruded thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) infill (Terra Sports Technology, The Netherlands) (`C') [18]. They were tested in combination with three fibre structures: (a) monofilament polyethylene fibres (GameDay MT, General Sports Venue, LLC, Rochester, Michigan) ('I') [19]; Proc. IMechE Vol. 223 Part P: J. Sports Engineering and Technology (b) parallel slit polyethylene fibres (GameDay Xpe, General Sports Venue, LLC, Rochester, Michigan) (`II') [19]; (c) monofilament polyethylene fibres in conjunction with a nylon root zone (GameDay 31), General Sports Venue, LLC, Rochester, Michigan) (`III') [19]. A nylon root zone is a simulated thatch layer at the base of the tufted turf (Fig. 1). The zone provides fibre support and reduces infill compaction [19]. All of the fibre structures were constructed with a 3/8-inch gauge length (the distance between rows of fibre tufts). The nine iterations of artificial turf were installed outdoors with a fulltime maintenance staff team and had been in place for approximately one year with limited usage when tested. The relative fineness of each infill was analysed by a fixed volume comparison. The density of each infill was calculated using a 50-cm3 container and an electronic semi -micro balance (Model R160D, Sartorius, Germany). A fixed volume of 0.2 cm3 of each infill was then analysed using SigmaScanPro Image Analysis (Version 5.0.0, SPSS, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA). The number of particles was recorded, as well as the maximum diameter of each particle. 2.2 Shoes Each surface was tested using ten different shoes, yielding 90 different shoe —surface combinations. The shoes were grouped into five categories, based on design properties (Table 1): (a) 7-studded — traditional cleated shoes with seven removable cleats, five covering the forefoot of the sole and two covering the heel region; (b) 12 studded — moulded cleat shoes with twelve cleats around the perimeter of the sole, eight around the forefoot and four around the heel region; (c) hybrid — moulded cleat shoes with four cleats around the heel region and at least fifteen cleats distributed across the forefoot region; (d) edge — shoes characterized by blade -style cleats; (e) turf — shoes that had a dense pattern of short elastomeric cleats distributed over the entire sole. 2.3 Testing apparatus A testing apparatus was developed to apply a dynamic rotation and measure the torque produced at the shoe —surface interface (Fig. 2). The apparatus was fabricated to conform to an international (ASTM) standard method for measuring rotational traction characteristics of an athletic shoe —surface interface [7]. The device consisted of an aluminium frame that could be raised and lowered to the ground with JSET26 © IMechE 2009 Downloaded from pip.sagepub.com by guest on August 13, 2012 Rotational traction on an artificial surface 13 Fig.1 Infills (upper row, left to right) - cryogenically processed SBR crumb infills, ambient ground SBR crumb infill, extruded TPE infill; fibres (lower row, left to right) - monofilament polyethylene fibres, parallel slit polyethylene fibres, monofilament polyethylene fibres in conjunction with a nylon root zone ('A', B', 'C', 'I', 'II', and 'III', respectively) wheels to allow easy mobility. The frame supported the surrogate lower limb, a suspended 425-N weight attached to a 0.25-m radius gear that was used to produce a torque on the shoe. The weight was released by means of a manual lever arm located on the side of the testing device. The drop height of the weight hanger was adjusted so that the input rotation angle of the shaft was 90°. The rate of rotation was chosen to represent a high-speed injury situation. During running, the tibia has been documented to internally rotate at ground contact with speeds between 160' and 180' per second [20-22]. To represent an in vivo situation, the rate of rotation was approximately 180' per second. This exceeded the minimum rate of 45' per second required by the ASTM testing standard [7]. The frame was stabilized on the test surfaces by two operators standing on the outboard platforms. The testing apparatus was designed to simulate the anthropomorphic data of a 95th percentile male. This included matching the compressive load to 1 x body weight (1000 N) and fabricating the surrogate lower limb with a tibia length of 44 cm [23]. In addition to reproducing key mass and length measurements for the surrogate lower limb, the ankle was designed to be compliant with regards to internal/external rotation by means of a deformable elastomeric washer. To represent a possible worst -case injury scenario, the current study replicated a loading condition having full cleat contact with the ground. The peak torque measured in tests with full cleat contact has been shown to be typically 70 per cent higher than tests with only toe cleats engaged [9] . A rigid model of the right foot was fabricated and attached below the JSET26 © IMechE 2009 ankle position on the testing device. The foot repre- sented a US size 13 shoe, and the centre of rotation (COR) on the test device was adjustable. The COR was set at the midfoot, a distance of 14 cm from the heel for all tests. The device generated a dynamic internal rotation of the leg, resulting in an externally applied ground reactionary torque on the foot. A torsional load cell (Model 1216CEW-2K, Interface, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA) calibrated for 170-Nm full-scale capacity was placed below the gear and connected to the lower leg shaft in order to record torque. The data was processed through a strain gauge amplifier (Model 31318-00, Analog Devices, Inc., Norwood, Massachu- setts, USA) connected to an A2D card (Model PC- Card-DAS16/16, Measurement Computing Corp., Norton, Massachusetts, USA) and recorded on a laptop computer with Windows XP Professional operating system. A custom program was written in LabView (Version 7.0, National Instruments, Austin, Texas, USA) for data collection. Data were collected for 5 seconds at 1000 Hz and the recorded data from each trial consisted of 100 ms before and 900 ms after a torque threshold of 3 Nm was reached in the test. Five trials were performed for each unique combi- nation of shoe, fibre, and infill. The testing apparatus was repositioned to a new adjacent section of the artificial surface between trials. The air temperature was also recorded on each day of testing. 2.4 Statistical analysis Data from all trials were analysed to determine the peak torque. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) Proc.

When the differences in the mean values among the infill and/or fibre groups were found to be greater than would be expected by chance, Tukey post -hoc tests were performed to detect statistically significant differences between infill ('A','B','C') and fibre The effect of cleat pattern (n= ) was assessed by a one-way ANOVA with Tukey post -hoc tests, when appropriate. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 for all analyses. 3 RESULTS The testing apparatus collected torque —time data on the 90 shoe —surface interface combinations (Table 2). The value of peak torque was significantly affected by the type of infill and fibre structure. Infill 'A' (the cryogenically processed SBR crumb infill) yielded significantly higher peak torques (p < 0.001) than other infill types (Fig. 3); there was no statistical dif- ference between infills B' and 'C'. Fibre 'III' (mono - filament polyethylene fibres in conjunction with a nylon root zone) produced significantly lower peak JSET26 © IMechE 2009 Norma[ Force Tor-mon Drop Weights forl„abk r ElLslorm-1. far C0111P1i2nt flrtMe Football Shot Moumed -on s Ri sid Foot MI torques (p < 0.001) than other fibre types (Fig. 4); there was no statistical difference between fibres 'I' and 'II'. The cleat pattern significantly affected peak torque. The 12-studded and edge cleat groups yielded the highest peak torques, while the turf shoe, composed of a dense pattern of short elastomeric cleats, pro- duced the lowest torques (p < 0.001) (Fig. 5). The peak torques between the hybrid and 7-studded cleat groups were not significantly different. Size and volume measurements of the three infills were recorded (Table 3). All testing was conducted in Michigan, USA, in early autumn. No testing was performed if moisture was observed on the surface, or if it had recently rained. The experiments were performed over a one -month period, resulting in air temperature variations (Table 4). Infill 'A' was tested at an average temperature of 20.4±3.1 °C, infill 'B' at 31.7 ± 2.1 °C, and infill 'C' at 26.9±3.5'C. Fibre 'I' was tested at an average temperature of 24.4±5.9 °C, fibre 'II' at 26.1±4.5°C, and fibre 'III' at 28.4±5.4'C. 4 DISCUSSION High rotational traction between football shoes and playing surfaces may yield a potential for injury to the Proc.

In contrast, the rounded cylindrical shape of infill `C' (the extru- ded TPE infill) may not pack as tightly as infill `A' to limit the degree of rotational traction. There were no statistical differences in peak torque between fibres `I' and `II', which suggested that there was no differ- ence in rotational traction between monofilament and parallel slit fibre systems. The most influential JSET26 © IMechE 2009 variable in the generation of torque may have been the presence or absence of the nylon root zone. The nylon root zone needed less infill for system stability, which may have affected its compactness. This, in turn, may have limited cleat contact with the infill and provided a less compacted type of infill layer, which may explain the lower peak torques observed with fibre 'I1I' (the monofilament polyethylene fibres in conjunction with a nylon root zone). The differences in peak torque noted between the cleat patterns illustrated the impact of shoe design on rotational traction. Shoe designs with numerous and/or large cleats around the peripheral margin of the sole (the 12-studded and edge designs in this study) yielded higher peak torques than shoes with fewer or smaller cleats (hybrid, 7-studded, and turf). The turf design shoe (Turf -log; Adidas Ltd, Herzo- genaurach, Germany) produced significantly lower torques than all other designs; the short elastomeric cleats may not have penetrated the infill layer as deeply as the other models to help limit the degree of rotational traction. The statistical difference between cleat pattern groups found in this analysis was not apparent in a previous study by the same investiga- tors, which utilized the same testing methodology and cleated shoes [24]. This previous study [24] involved a rubber infill surface, a rubber —sand infill surface, and two natural grass surfaces, which resul- ted in an overall standard deviation in peak torque of 19.9 Nm. In the present study, all of the artificial surfaces were composed of 100 per cent rubber infill, resulting in an overall standard deviation (SD) in peak torque of 12.7 Nm. This may have allowed dif- ferences in rotational traction based on cleat pattern to be more statistically apparent. A limitation of the current study was air tempera- ture variation, which occurred as a result of a month required to complete testing: infill `A', which yielded significantly higher torques than infills `B' and `C', was tested at a lower temperature than infills `B' and `C'; fibre `III', which yielded significantly lower tor- ques than fibres `I' and `II', was tested at a higher temperature than fibres `I' and 'II'. It is interesting to note that the infill and fibre types that produced the lowest torques were tested at the highest air tem- peratures. If air temperature had influenced these results, the resultant effects would seem to be in sharp contrast to a study performed by Torg et al. [25], which documents that an increase in air and turf temperature results in an increase of shoe —surface interface traction. The correlation in that previous study was based on soft rubber shoes on AstroTurf No. 8 (Astro Turf Industries, Inc., Dalton, GA, USA), a short -pile non-infill surface that is not comparable to the surfaces in this study. Based on this fundamental difference in design, the influence of temperature variation in the current study remains unknown. Proc. IMechE Vol. 223 Part P: J. Sports Engineering and Technology Downloaded from pip.sagepub.com by guest on August 13, 2012 18 M R Villwock, E G Meyer, J W Powell, A J Fouty, and R C Haut If the rotational traction characteristics of natural grass are the gold standard upon which artificial surfaces should be compared, several of the surfaces in the current study compared well to this standard. The previous study by the present paper's authors, utilizing the same testing methodology and cleated shoes, recorded an average peak torque on a natural grass surface of 95.9 ± 18 Nm [24]. The artificial surface constructed with fibre 'III' and infill 'B' (the ambient ground SBR crumb infill) generated a lower peak torque, averaging 93.9 Nm. All three fibre structures with infill 'C' also produced peak torques within 3 Nm of the natural grass surface. It is unknown if these similarities in peak torques may result in similar injury rates. A threshold for 'safe' torsional release coefficients of shoes and surfaces was introduced in the 1970s [12], whilst, in the cur- rent study, a normal force of 1000 N would corre- spond to a theoretical 'safe' torque of approximately 95 Nm. Most shoe —surface interface values in the current study exceeded this threshold, and this threshold level also exceeds the maximum torque that the ankle can support (approximately 75 Nm, based on cadaver tests [26]). On the other hand, Shoemaker et al. [27] suggest that muscles may con- tribute as much as 70 Nm of resistive torque and help protect the lower extremity during controlled athletic manoeuvers. Future epidemiological studies of sur- face injury rates on these newer infill-based surfaces will be important for generating the 'real' injury risk. In conclusion, the current study identified several attributes of infill-based artificial surfaces, such as infill size and the presence of a root zone, which influenced rotational traction. Cleat pattern was also identified as a shoe design factor responsible for affecting rotational traction on infill-based artificial surfaces. A vast amount of literature exists concern- ing the interaction of football cleats with natural grass and the older generation, non-infill AstroTurf systems, yet much remains unknown about the tractional characteristics of modern infilled artificial surfaces. From a performance aspect, linear traction testing would assess a player's need for speed and agility. These data could then be used along with rotational traction information to help improve shoe —surface interfaces and mitigate injury potential while maintaining player performance.

The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016. The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law, prescribe the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the commission's website. The commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5, 2015. The commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November 30, 2015, to implement the law. The commission does not have any additional authority to enforce or interpret House Bill 1295. Filing Process: Staring on January 1, 2016, the commission made available on its website a new filing application that must be used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will include a certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form. The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing must be filed with the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract. The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission's filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. This process is known as acknowledging the certificate. The commission will post the acknowledged Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice from the governmental entity or state agency. The posted acknowledged form does not contain the declaration of signature information provided by the business. A certificate will stay in the pending state until it is acknowledged by the governmental agency. Only acknowledged certificates are posted to the commission's website.
