II Background
A. The Parties
FieldTurf
FieldTurf was founded by Jean Prevost and John Gilman, former professional athletes whose
vision was to design artificial grass and synthetic turf systems that replicated natural grass
and prevented player injuries.3 With thousands of installations, FieldTurf is recognized as the
market leader globally in synthetic sports fields.4 For example, out of the National Football
League's 32 teams, 21 have selected FieldTurf installations for their stadiums and/or practice
fields.5 FieldTurf was acquired by Tarkett in 2004, becoming part of Tarkett Sports.6
TenCate
In early 2007, TenCate acquired the synthetic grass business of Mattex Leisure Industries
("Mattex"), which specialized in producing monofilament fibers.7 TenCate is a supplier of
synthetic turf fibers and backing materials used to create synthetic turf fields.8
B. FieldTurf Synthetic Turf
FieldTurf synthetic turf systems are primarily comprised of extruded monofilament and slit-
film linear low density polyethylene fibers that are tufted, or stitched, into a backing material
and then surrounded and stabilized by FieldTurf's proprietary layered infill system.9 The

backing is composed of permeable polypropylene fabric.10 Utilizing a patented spacing
formula, the fibers are tufted into the backing material in rows, leaving space so that cleats
penetrate the infill material instead of the field's surface fiber.11 After the fibers are stitched
into the backing, coating is applied over the back of each row of stitching, sealing the fiber
rows but still leaving the remainder of the backing permeable for field drainage.12 Finally,
when the synthetic turf is being installed, FieldTurf uses its patented infill system comprised
of sand and rubber granules to stabilize and support the system.13
C. Supply Relationship
It is my understanding that FieldTurf has historically purchased synthetic grass fibers for use
in its products from a number of suppliers, including Mattex and TenCate. Mattex and
TenCate, following its acquisition of Mattex, supplied the defective monofilament fiber that
is at issue in this litigation. This product was sold to FieldTurf under the name Evolution
3GS (“Evolution”). A significant portion of this Evolution fiber was sold to FieldTurf

pursuant to supply contracts that pre-date TenCate's acquisition of Mattex. FieldTurf entered
into its first supply agreement with Mattex on September 10, 2005 (the "2005 Supply
Agreement") to purchase synthetic grass fibers from October 1, 2005 through December 31,
2006.14 I understand that, in connection with the 2005 Supply Agreement, Mattex provided a
warranty (the "2005 Warranty") to FieldTurf guaranteeing the performance of its Evolution
fiber for six to nine years, depending on the location and corresponding radiation exposure of
the installation.15
On November 29, 2006, FieldTurf extended its supply relationship with Mattex by entering
into a second agreement covering December 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007 (the "2006
Supply Agreement").16 Included with the 2006 Supply Agreement was a warranty (the "2006
Warranty") similar to that included with the 2005 Supply Agreement, guaranteeing the
performance of Mattex's Evolution fiber for six to ten years, depending on the location and
corresponding radiation exposure of the installation.17
As previously noted, TenCate acquired the synthetic grass business of Mattex in early 2007.18
It is my understanding that, at that time, TenCate continued to supply FieldTurf with
Evolution fiber under the 2006 Supply Agreement. I further understand that, on April 4,
2007 and April 11, 2007, FieldTurf and TenCate executed amendments to the 2006 Supply
Agreement related to the prices charged for Evolution.19

FieldTurf and TenCate entered into a new supply contract on July 1, 2008 covering the period
from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2011 (the "2008 Supply Agreement").20 It is my
understanding that in 2009, TenCate notified FieldTurf of its intent to terminate the 2008
Supply Agreement as of June 15, 2011.21 Exhibit A to the 2008 Supply Agreement was a
warranty (the “2008 Warranty") covering Evolution for eight to eleven years, depending on
the location and corresponding radiation exposure of the installation.22
It is my understanding that the Evolution fibers that are the subject of this litigation are, in
most cases, represented by FieldTurf product types coded as FTOM and XM. I understand
that both of these FieldTurf products utilize Evolution fibers sourced from Mattex and
TenCate.
D. Radiation Exposure
As noted above, the warranties provided to FieldTurf by the Defendants included as one of
the factors of the warranties the solar radiation levels at the installation locations, as
measured in kLangley and/or Watt/m2. I understand that kLangley and Watt/m2 are related
measures of solar radiation per unit area of surface, and that 1 kLangley per year equals 1.33
Watt/m2.23 The 2005 Warranty and the 2006 Warranty both cited the Ciba kLangley map as
the standard for solar radiation, while the 2008 Warranty cited the climate map of the world
published by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, also known as KNMI. Exhibit
1 is a copy of the Ciba kLangley map. The warranty periods by radiation levels for the
product at issue in this litigation are summarized in the table that follows:

E. Summary of Dispute
I understand that in 2009, FieldTurf began receiving a large number of customer complaints
about premature fiber degradation in field installations using Evolution, and that some
FieldTurf customers under their FieldTurf warranties have demanded full replacement of
their fields or threatened litigation against FieldTurf.24 I understand that in at least one case,
a FieldTurf customer has commenced litigation against FieldTurf due to the failure of its field
incorporating Evolution fibers. I understand that these fiber failures occurred well within the
TenCate warranty periods described previously. It is my understanding that FieldTurf has
reported customer complaints related to defective Evolution fibers to TenCate, and while
TenCate representatives inspected some fields and acknowledged fiber failures in field
24 Complaint p. 36; I understand that FieldTurf grants its customers 8-year warranties.

inspection reports and other internal correspondence, TenCate has failed to replace or repair
any of these fields. FieldTurf filed this action against TenCate on March 1, 2011, alleging
the claims that follow: fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, breach of warranty, and
bad faith.25
To date, FieldTurf has had to repair and/or completely replace in numerous instances the
failing fields brought to its attention by customers exercising their rights under their
FieldTurf warranties.
I further understand that since the filing of this action, FieldTurf has developed a process
whereby a chemical product called FiberGuard is applied to fields incorporating Evolution
fibers to try to slow damage and possibly prevent complete field failures, mitigating the
associated future losses and damages. I also understand that FiberGuard is a post-installation
coating that can be applied to a synthetic turf field to improve ultraviolet (“UV”) radiation
resistance and therefore extend the field's life. It should be noted that this FiberGuard
process has only recently been developed and employed and its effectiveness is unknown.
There is some concern that it may not be effective in preventing future field failures.
Furthermore, it is my understanding that after FieldTurf advised TenCate of its intention to
file this action based on its allegations that TenCate supplied FieldTurf with defective fiber,
TenCate notified FieldTurf that it would prematurely terminate the 2008 Supply Agreement
on March 2, 2011, instead of its previously planned termination date of June 15, 2011. This
in effect would cut off supplies to FieldTurf more than three months earlier than planned,
causing additional damages as FieldTurf would not be able to meet or fulfill existing
contracts and/or sales. Since the filing of this action, I understand that FieldTurf and TenCate

entered into a settlement agreement whereby TenCate agreed to continue supplying materials
to FieldTurf. However, I understand that FieldTurf has since alleged that, during this
extended period, TenCate has, in breach of this settlement agreement, increased its prices as a
retaliatory measure on certain products sold to FieldTurf.26

III Damages
A. Overview
In the following sections of this report, I address the issue of damages suffered by FieldTurf
due to the actions of TenCate, which include fraudulent inducement, breach of contract,
breach of warranty, and other related claims.
My opinions as to the damages suffered by FieldTurf are based on my skills, knowledge,
training, education, and experience in matters of this nature and my examination of the
materials reviewed or considered in preparing this report. Based on my experience in matters
of this nature and direction from counsel, a number of economic remedies are available to a
Plaintiff such as FieldTurf. These remedies include, but are not limited to: the costs of
repairing fields installed with defective Evolution fiber; the incurred and planned costs of
replacing fields installed with defective Evolution fiber; the incurred and planned costs of
applying FiberGuard to fields; the projected future costs of replacing fields installed with
such fiber, or in the alternative, the projected costs associated with applying FiberGuard to
the fields that have been identified as having a high probability for failure; the amount
overcharged by TenCate to FieldTurf on products sold after April 2011; the remaining
inventory of Evolution fiber at issue in this litigation that FieldTurf can no longer sell; as well
as prejudgment interest.
It is my opinion that damages in this matter prior to the application of prejudgment interest
would range from approximately $21.3 to $36.2 million based on the categories described
above (Exhibit 2).

It is important to note that the range above represents a conservative estimate of FieldTurf’s
damages in this matter. To begin, while this damages range includes field replacement costs,
it does not capture any amounts related to minor and/or major repair costs that FieldTurf has
incurred and will continue to incur to repair degrading fields. The repair costs, which
specifically relate to Mattex and TenCate’s Evolution fiber, are numerous in nature, but have,
to date, been difficult to organize, itemize and quantify. I reserve the right to include such
repair costs in my analysis should additional documentation and/or information be made
available.
In addition to the exclusion of repair costs, the damages calculated above do not include any
replacement or repair costs associated with failing fields installed in international locations.
As of the date of this report, while I understand that FieldTurf has incurred costs associated
with field degradation in international locations, I have been asked by counsel for the
Plaintiffs to exclude such international costs from my opinion of damages. This report also
does not include an opinion as to reputational damage that FieldTurf may have suffered.
B. Incurred and Planned Replacement Costs
As of the date of this report, it is my understanding that 27 fields originally installed with
Mattex and TenCate’s Evolution fiber have been replaced due to premature fiber degradation.
Additionally, I understand that 14 fields are currently being replaced, and that an additional
10 fields are scheduled to be replaced within the next three months. In all instances, these
fields were brought to the attention of FieldTurf management under warranty claims asserted
by customers.

To determine the replacement costs incurred by FieldTurf to date, I analyzed supporting
documentation and data provided by FieldTurf. For each replaced field, I began by reviewing
the related project summary, which I understand is maintained in the normal course of
business by FieldTurf for each field replacement and details the various costs associated with
each replacement. Based on these project summaries, I identified five general categories of
replacement-related costs: grass and rubber, logos and inlays, base, installation, and other
materials. I then reconciled the costs listed on the project summaries to supporting business
and financial documentation and data kept in the normal course of business.
For example, costs related to grass and rubber and other materials for each replaced field
were supported by internal invoices for manufacturing materials, while logos and inlay costs
were supported by invoices from third party vendors. Base costs generally consisted of tear
out costs for the old artificial turf that was installed and any material costs associated with
repairs to the base that may be required. The tear-out portion of the costs was supported by
sub-contractor installation agreements or contracts, and the material costs by third-party
invoices.
Installation costs consisted of labor, material, equipment, sand, freight, and other expenses. If
the installation was performed by a third party, sub-contractor installation agreements were
provided to support the labor, material, and equipment costs. For installations performed in-
house by FieldTurf, week by week salary summaries supported labor costs, which included
gross wages for hours worked, overtime, fringe benefits, mileage, and any per diems
incurred. A construction summary was provided for each in-house installation, supporting
expenses that included rental equipment, hotel expense, overhead allocation, construction

dumpster, and other expenses incurred on site. In addition, sand, freight, and other
installation costs were supported by invoices from third party vendors.
I was able to reconcile the costs listed on the project summaries to supporting documentation
and data, including invoices, contracts, and other supporting documents for over 90% of the
total costs presented on the project summaries.27
I understand that, in some instances, FieldTurf has been able to offset a portion of the field
replacement cost by providing customers with enhancements to their existing fields, for
which they were willing to pay for some or all of the costs. I subtracted any revenue earned
that was associated with the field replacements from the total costs to fully account for the net
costs of each field replacement.
Based on this analysis, I have calculated that FieldTurf has incurred approximately $6.0
million associated with replacement of the 27 fields (Exhibit 3). As demonstrated in Exhibit
3, these replacement costs average approximately $2.61 per square foot on a weighted
average basis.
In order to estimate the cost of the 14 ongoing field replacements, I utilized the budgeted
costs provided by FieldTurf when available (these budgeted costs were provided for 9 of the
ongoing field replacements). For the remaining ongoing replacements (5 fields), I estimated
the field replacement costs by utilizing the weighted average net cost per square foot of $2.61
for the total square feet of turf to be replaced. Finally, in order to estimate replacement costs
for the 10 currently scheduled fields, I also applied the weighted average net cost per square
foot for completed replacements of $2.61 to the total square feet of turf to be replaced. These
27 The remaining costs do not relate to one specific field or one specific type of cost, and all are consistent withthe type of costs for which I have reviewed supporting documentation and data.

15
calculations resulted in total budgeted or estimated costs of $4.7 million for the 24 fields that
are currently either being replaced or are scheduled to be replaced within the next three
months (Exhibit 4).
In total, these costs amount to approximately $10.7 million in damages due to incurred,
ongoing, and scheduled replacement costs (Exhibits 3 and 4).
C. Projected Replacement Costs
In order to project future field replacement costs, I began by analyzing data relating to all
FieldTurf fields installed with Evolution fiber. FieldTurf provided me with a download of its
installation database, which I understand is a company record that is kept in the normal
course of business to track all installations and includes various data points for each
installation. For example, the installation database includes project/field name, location of
installation, fiber product type used, square footage, and installation date, among other data
points.28
I analyzed the installation data and removed any fields that appeared to be duplicates. For
example, in some instances, the installation data contained both a line for an original
installation and a second line item for the replacement of the original installation. In
instances of duplicate line items, I combined the two lines into one so that each field
installation was counted only once. Additionally, for field installations that appeared to be
missing certain data points, such as installations where the fiber product type was listed as
"Unknown," I asked FieldTurf management to perform additional research into the field
installation to identify the missing data. FieldTurf management was able to provide

clarifications regarding missing data points by reviewing other documentation related to the
field installations, such as production orders, purchase orders, and FieldTurf's customer
service tracking database, or other business and financial records maintained by FieldTurf in
the normal course of business.
My analysis of the installation data identified the overall population of FieldTurf field
installations using Evolution fiber.29 These field installations included 1,700 Evolution fields
in total. A count of fields summarized by year is as follows:

Source: FT00413838 (FieldTurf All Installations - SharePoint Export)
As previously discussed in this report, the warranties provided by the Defendants varied in
length of time based on the location and corresponding radiation exposure of the installation
(see Table 1). Consequently, I further analyzed the 1,700 Evolution fields by their respective
field locations and installation dates to determine kLangley radiation zones and warranty end
dates for each field installation. In order to ascertain the relevant kLangley zones that applied
to the field installations in the U.S., I overlaid U.S. state lines over the Ciba kLangley map for
North America (Exhibit 5).
29 It is my understanding that Evolution fibers include product types coded as FTOM and XM.

17
In conducting my analysis, while I focused principally on higher radiation zones identified on
the kLangley map, there were a small number of fields outside of these areas that have failed
for reasons that were similar and were subject to a warranty claim asserted by a customer.
As a means of checking this approach, I looked at the number of fields either replaced or
scheduled to be replaced to confirm that the majority of these fields fell within these
geographic boundaries (Exhibit 5).
I then categorized each U.S. state into one of the kLangley radiation zones to determine the
correct kLangley range for each field based on its location by state (Exhibit 6). In
categorizing each U.S. state, I utilized the kLangley radiation zone that covered the majority
of a state. For states that were evenly split by two kLangley radiation zones, I selected the
more conservative (i.e. lower) radiation range. The only state that I divided into two different
kLangley radiation zones was California, which I divided into Northern California and
Southern California.
Exhibit 7 summarizes the 1,700 field installations by kLangley radiation zone by year
installed. Exhibit 8 summarizes the 51 replacements by kLangley radiation zone by year
installed.
As demonstrated in Table 1, the warranties granted by the Defendants covered longer periods
for fields installed in lower radiation zones than those installed in higher radiation zones. The
rate of degradation of the artificial fibers supplied by TenCate is deemed by them to be
affected principally by the amount of solar radiation exposure (i.e., the higher the solar
radiation exposure, the lower the expected life of the fibers). As illustrated in Exhibit 5, I
plotted the approximate locations of the 51 fields that have been replaced, are currently being

replaced, or are scheduled to be replaced, which indicated that a higher percentage of field
replacements occurred in higher radiation zones.
To project future field replacements, I then analyzed the historical replacement rates of the
oldest field installations, or those fields installed between 2005 and 2006, by radiation zone,
as displayed in Table 3 below.30

kLangley Radiation Zone
Applying the historical replacement rates for fields installed between 2005 and 2006 by
radiation zone to the population of installations in 2007 through 2012, I have projected that
approximately 162 fields installed in 2007 and later will likely need to be replaced, as
detailed in the table that follows:
30 My analysis of field replacements by year indicated that while a number of fields installed in 2007 have beenreplaced, the overall replacement percentage for 2007 is expected to exceed replacement levels incurred to date.This would be consistent with my understanding that fiber degradation occurs as fields age. I reserve the rightto supplement my opinions should additional information become available regarding actual field replacementsand/or actual claims incurred in the future.

I subtracted from this total the 23 fields that were installed in 2007, 2008 and 2009 that have
already been replaced, to arrive at a total projection of future field replacements of 139. I
then multiplied the 139 fields by the average square footage of fields installed with Evolution
fiber in or after 2007, which equated to approximately 82,000 square feet. Finally, I
multiplied the total square footage to be replaced by the historical weighted average net
replacement cost per square foot experienced by FieldTurf on completed field replacements,
or approximately $2.61 per square foot. I believe this is conservative as it assumes all costs
to replace fields have and will remain constant, and that none of the many components
previously identified would experience any increases. My calculation resulted in a projection
of future replacement costs of approximately $29.9 million (Exhibit 9).
Because these projected replacement costs represent an estimate of damages that FieldTurf
will incur in the future, they must be discounted to their present value as of the date of my

report. The present value represents the value of a future stream of payments or cash flows,
discounted to a current date at a given rate of return, or discount rate. In my experience, a
discount rate that would be appropriate in matters such as these is the plaintiff’s weighted
average cost of capital (“WACC”), which represents the weighted average of a firm’s cost of
debt and equity capital. I have estimated FieldTurf’s WACC to be approximately 11%
(Exhibit 10).
In addition, I have estimated the discount time period to be between the date of my report and
the end of 2018, which represents the expiration of the FieldTurf warranty of 8 years for the
last full year of field installations of 2010.31 I have used the mid-point convention and
discounted the $29.9 million in projected field replacement costs from October 1, 2015, the
approximate mid-point of the discount time period. While some of the field replacement
costs would be incurred before this date and some after, use of the mid-point convention
results in the averaging of the projected future costs across the discount time period.
Based on the calculation described above, I have determined that the present value of the
projected future replacement costs would amount to approximately $21.3 million (Exhibit 9).
D. Incurred and Planned FiberGuard Costs
As previously discussed, FieldTurf developed a process using a chemical product,
FiberGuard, in an attempt to mitigate future losses associated with repairing and replacing
failing fields. I understand that FiberGuard is a post-installation coating that can be applied
to a synthetic turf field to improve UV radiation resistance and therefore extend the field's
life. As of the date of this report, FieldTurf has recently begun applying FiberGuard to
31 While some fields were installed in 2011 and 2012, 2010 represents the last full year of field installations withthe Evolution fibers.

degrading fields. I have reviewed and analyzed data associated with 8 fields that have been
FiberGuarded to date, including a summary of the associated costs to FiberGuard those fields.
In addition, I have been provided with a list of fields that are currently scheduled to be
FiberGuarded over the remainder of this calendar year.32 I understand from discussions with
FieldTurf management that, at the present time, FieldTurf's initial plan is to have two
FiberGuard crews target fields that were primarily installed from 2007 to 2009 in high
radiation zones. One crew is applying FiberGuard to fields in Texas and to the east, and the
other crew is applying FiberGuard to fields from Arizona to Southern California.
I understand that the company is projecting approximately two days to apply the FiberGuard
process for one field. The costs of applying FiberGuard to a field include application
equipment rental, contract labor, FiberGuard chemicals, as well as other application and crew
costs. For the 8 fields that have been FiberGuarded to date, I have analyzed summary cost
information that indicates the total costs to FiberGuard those fields amounts to approximately
$104,000 (Exhibit 11). Based on these costs, I have determined that the average cost to apply
FiberGuard to date has been approximately $13,000 per field, and the average cost per square
foot has been approximately $0.16 (Exhibit 11).33 To estimate the costs associated with
FieldTurf's FiberGuard application for the currently scheduled fields, I utilized the average
cost per square foot of $0.16, multiplied by the square footage of each of the fields that are
scheduled to be FiberGuarded. This results in estimated FiberGuard costs of approximately
$1.6 million for the 116 currently scheduled fields (Exhibit 12).
In summary, I have calculated FieldTurf's damages based on incurred and scheduled
FiberGuard costs for 124 fields to total approximately $1.7 million (Exhibits 11 and 12).
32 FT0041385033 I utilized square footage information provided from FieldTurf's installation database (FT00413838).

E. Projected FiberGuard Costs
From discussions with FieldTurf management, I understand that the effectiveness of applying
FiberGuard is still unknown. In addition, even if applying FiberGuard is successful in
stopping or slowing the degradation of fields, I understand that the FiberGuard chemical is
only expected to work for 18 to 24 months, at best. Therefore, depending on the success
level of FieldTurf's initial round of FiberGuard application, FieldTurf may or may not
continue to FiberGuard additional fields in the future. Assuming that, at best, FiberGuard
application proves successful in stopping or slowing fiber degradation, I have projected
future costs associated with continuing to FiberGuard additional fields to prevent complete
field replacements and mitigate damages.
To project future FiberGuard costs, I assumed that FieldTurf would FiberGuard all fields
installed with Evolution fiber in only the higher radiation zones, or those greater than or equal
to 120 kLangley. Based on the installation database provided by FieldTurf, I have
determined that FieldTurf had installed 513 fields in radiation zones greater than or equal to
120 kLangley (Exhibit 7). From this number of fields I removed those fields that have been
or will be replaced and are therefore not subject to FiberGuarding. In addition, I assumed
that if a field was nearing the end of the FieldTurf warranty to its customer, which I
understand is 8 years, or the TenCate warranties to FieldTurf, whichever comes first, and if
the field was showing signs of continued fiber degradation, selling a new field as opposed to
FiberGuarding or replacement might be a more economically feasible option for both
FieldTurf and/or the customer. Consequently, I have not projected a FiberGuard application
cost for any field in the last two years of its warranty period. Finally, I have also removed the
fields that have been or are scheduled to be FiberGuarded, as noted in the prior section of this
Case 4:11-cv-00050-TWT Document 358-29 Filed 10/04/12 Page 25 of 70

report, to avoid duplication. My analysis indicated a remaining total of 307 fields to be
FiberGuarded in the future, assuming that the initial wave of FiberGuard applications proves
successful (Exhibit 13).34
In addition, as noted previously, I understand that even if the application of FiberGuard
proves successful in stopping or slowing the degradation of fields, the FiberGuard chemical is
only expected to last 18 to 24 months, at best. Consequently, many of the fields that are
subject to the application of FiberGuard may need more than one application to stop or slow
degradation through the end of either the FieldTurf warranty period to its customer or the
TenCate warranty periods to FieldTurf. I have therefore calculated the years left on the
warranty period for each field installation, utilizing the earlier of the expiration date of the
FieldTurf or TenCate warranties.
For each of the fields, I then estimated the total number of FiberGuard applications that
would be needed to protect the field through the life of its warranty by conservatively
assuming that FiberGuard applications were effective for the longest expected period of two
years. For example, the field at Amador Valley High School was installed in August 2008 in
Northern California, a kLangley radiation zone of 140-160. The TenCate warranty to
FieldTurf for this field will expire in August 2017, while the FieldTurf warranty to the
customer will expire in August 2016. Assuming this field is FiberGuarded in 2013, it would
need to be FiberGuarded once more to protect it through the life of the FieldTurf warranty. I
have thus projected costs associated with FiberGuarding this field twice.
34 I have been informed by FieldTurf management that the remainder of the fields to be FiberGuarded will takeplace in the next 12 to 18 months.

CONFIDENTIAL
24
Based on the above analysis, and utilizing the average actual cost per square foot from
completed FiberGuard applications of approximately $0.16 per square foot, I project damages
from future FiberGuard costs to amount to approximately $7.9 million (Exhibit 13).
As previously noted, because these projected FiberGuard application costs represent an
estimate of damages that FieldTurf will incur in the future, they must be discounted to their
present value as of the date of my report. As before, I have used FieldTurf’s WACC to
discount future FiberGuard costs, which results in a present value of $6.5 million in future
costs (Exhibit 13).
F. Improper Price Increases After April 2011
As previously noted, it is my understanding that FieldTurf alleges that beginning in April
2011, TenCate increased prices charged to FieldTurf in retaliation for FieldTurf’s filing of the
Complaint in this litigation. I have reviewed an email sent on March 7, 2011, from Guido
Vliegen, Group Commercial Director at TenCate, to other TenCate personnel that stated the
following:
“In order to respond to an urgent legal matter I had to set prices for FieldTurf
on Friday. These prices are 15% higher than loyal customer price levels for
most products. This level is indicative for the new general gross prices.
Please implement across the board, whereby high loyalty customers will be
granted a 15% rebate that can be converted into net prices on the invoice.”35

25
In contrast, a letter dated just six days earlier on March 1, 2011, from TenCate to FieldTurf
communicated a 4% to 8% price increase to synthetic turf yarns due to the increased prices of
raw materials.36 According to deposition testimony by Ian Petrie, TenCate’s Vice President of
Sales for the Americas Region, this letter was sent to all TenCate customers with the
exception of FieldTurf on March 1, 2011, and then sent to FieldTurf on March 7.37
In order to determine the extent of the improper increase in prices experienced by FieldTurf
as a result of TenCate’s alleged retaliatory actions, I analyzed TenCate invoices to FieldTurf
from January 2011 to April 2012 (Exhibit 14). I compared unit prices for each unique
product number and calculated the unit price change after April 1, 2011. If the unit price
changed more than once after April 1, 2011, I calculated the difference between the original
pre-April price and the new price for each change. For certain products where a pre-April
invoice was not available, I performed the same analysis by utilizing prices from the TenCate
price list to FieldTurf dated March 1, 2011.38
In addition to the above, I incorporated the 4% to 8% price increase communicated to all
TenCate customers in March 2011 by adjusting the pre-April prices charged to FieldTurf
upward by 4% and 8%. I then multiplied the price increases that exceeded 4% to 8% over
pre-April prices by the quantity sold by TenCate to FieldTurf to arrive at the estimated
amount by which FieldTurf was overcharged. As summarized in Exhibit 14, this resulted in
total damages related to TenCate’s improper price increases of approximately $369,000 to
$511,000.

G. Remaining Evolution Inventory
It is my understanding at the date of this report that FieldTurf has approximately $2.1 million
in inventory related to Evolution fibers that cannot be sold, or at best could only be sold at
significantly discounted prices (Exhibits 15 and 16). This inventory is made up of Evolution
fiber raw material, as well as manufactured turf rolls made with the Evolution fiber. I have
been provided with schedules from FieldTurf’s financial systems maintained in the normal
course of business that reflect the quantity and cost of both fiber raw material and
manufactured turf rolls by product type. Management for FieldTurf has made some
adjustments to the cost figures by product to reflect which products might have some
remaining value, albeit at less than what FieldTurf paid for that product.39 I have totaled the
net value or cost of the inventory of Evolution fibers currently on hand at FieldTurf which
cannot be used (Exhibits 15 and 16). In my opinion, this $2.1 million represents an
additional amount that would be due FieldTurf in the form of damages in this matter.
H. Prejudgment Interest
It is my experience that in matters of this nature, prejudgment interest may be awarded from
the date damages began. I have not provided a calculation of prejudgment interest in this
report, as I understand that it is often an issue for the court to decide, but I reserve the right to
supplement my opinion with such a calculation.
39 FieldTurf management estimates that green fiber and green turf rolls can be salvaged at 70% and 50% of theiroriginal cost value, respectively.

I. Conclusion
It is my opinion that damages in this matter prior to the application of prejudgment interest
would range from approximately $21.3 to $36.2 million (Exhibit 2).
In my opinion, the lower end of the damages range would include damages for completed,
ongoing, and scheduled field replacements and FiberGuarding, improper price increases,
remaining Evolution inventory deemed to have no future value, as well as projected costs to
FiberGuard additional fields, assuming the process is effective in stopping or slowing fiber
degradation, which is uncertain. However, to account for the uncertainty associated with the
effectiveness of FiberGuard application, I have calculated the higher end of the damages
range based on damages for completed, ongoing, and scheduled field replacements and
FiberGuarding, improper price increases, remaining Evolution inventory deemed to have no
future value, as well as projected future field replacement costs. It is my opinion that based
on the facts and circumstances known to me at the date of this report, the damages in this
matter would be at the upper end of this range. My opinions of damages in this matter are
summarized in the table that follows:
