CCC-owned cotton will be sold and released in-store at the warehouse location listed in the catalog

using the factors shown on the warehouse receipt(s). Warehouse operators are obligated to deliver

the specific bales in the identified lot. CCC will not pay the loadout charges. Prior to submitting a

bid, offerors (buyer) are advised to check with the storing warehouse operator regarding

scheduling and any applicable charges. The offeror will be responsible for any of these applicable

charges.

Offerors will be required to enter a per lot bid, U.S. Dollars per pound, with no more than

four decimal places. Regardless of size, lots must be bid on in their entirety. Each bid will be

analyzed independently, and no offer can be contingent upon the acceptance of other offers. CCC

reserves the right to reject any or all offers.

CCC will pay storage through the date of the contract. The buyer is responsible for paying

loadout charges plus storage charges incurred from the day after the date of contract. The

date of contract is the date the offeror is notified by CCC that their bid is successful.

Buyers of cotton must remit to CCC the payment equal to 100% of contract value within five

business days after the date of contact. CCC will transfer title of the cotton (in-store) upon receipt

of payment. If payment is not received within five business days of the contract date, interest will

accrue for the account of the buyer on the sixth business day and continue up to the date payment

is received by CCC. It is not acceptable for a buyer to withhold payment in favor of continuing to

pay interest to CCC.
