Section I. Preferred Provider Summary
1.1 Scope of Agreement. As a “master” form of contract, this agreement allows the parties
to contract for multiple listings of equipment with IronPlanet without having to re-negotiate the
basic terms and conditions contained herein. The specific details of each listing under this
Agreement (each “Listing”) shall be separately specified in writing on terms and in a form
acceptable to the parties. Each Listing will include, as appropriate, Seller’s contact
information, equipment location, a list of equipment being consigned to IronPlanet, contact for
inspections, lien holder information, and payment instructions. Each Listing shall be subject to
all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and deemed to be incorporated herein by
reference. Seller has the option of outlining each Listing in a separate Equipment Listing Request
Form supplied by IronPlanet or via a Seller-generated e-mail or fax sent from an authorized
representative to IronPlanet. Should Seller elect the use of e-mail or fax for Listings,
IronPlanet requires a list of all persons authorized to procure services on Seller’s behalf as a
security measure for Seller. The attached Exhibit 1 should be used for this purpose.
