RE: CERTIFIED PRODUCTION SURVEY

ACTIONS (1) Confirm receipt to AHAM ([email protected]) REQUESTED: (2) Complete and return form to AHAM ([email protected]) by July 31, 2012

The AHAM Dehumidifier Verification Program requires that each participant complete a Production Survey annually so that verification fees for the upcoming calendar year can be accurately determined. The information provided in the survey is kept strictly confidential within AHAM.

Attached is a certified survey form to be completed with your actual production of verified dehumidifiers for the twelve-month period of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. You will be invoiced quarterly for the 2013 calendar year based on the fees shown on the attached survey form.

Please note the “Officer Verification” required on the attached sheet. An officer of each participating company should verify all figures reported to AHAM Verification Programs for accuracy and completeness.

There are two steps to completing these forms:

(1) Please confirm receipt of this form to Jessica Bibins at [email protected]

(2) Complete and return the enclosed confidential survey and Officer Verification by July 31, 2011 to AHAM’s Accounting Department, c/o Peter Frank at [email protected].

It is very important that the survey be returned by the due date. If the survey is not returned in a timely manner, it may be necessary for AHAM to remove the participant’s certified model data from the on-line Directory of Verified Dehumidifiers.

If you believe that the survey should be submitted to someone else within your organization, please forward the survey to that individual and notify Jessica Bibins via e-mail at [email protected] immediately. Thank you for your cooperation. INSTRUCTIONS

1. Confirm receipt of this production survey to Jessica Bibins via e-mail at [email protected] upon receipt. 2. Review instructions and guidelines. 3. Fill out the Production Survey Form as described on the form. 4. Review Billing Information. 5. Have an officer execute the Officer Verification Form. 6. Return Production Survey Form and Officer Verification Form by July 31, 2012 to:

Peter Frank, Vice President, Finance and Administration AHAM Accounting Department Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers 1111 19th Street NW Suite 402 Washington, DC 20036

GUIDELINES FOR OUTSOURCED CERTIFIED UNIT PRODUCTION REPORTING

Please use the following guidelines to determine which entity involved in an outsourcing agreement is responsible for reporting and ensuring payment of the Verification fees.

1. If a Licensee buys products from another Licensee, the purchasing licensee is responsible for the resulting verification fees and must therefore include the outsourced units in its own production figures (i.e., count the outsourced units as their own production). 2. If a Licensee buys products from a non-licensee, the Licensee is responsible for the resulting verification fees and must therefore include the outsourced units in its product figures (i.e., count the outsourced units as their own production). 3. In the case of an alternative arrangement (i.e., selling licensee agrees to pay the verification fees), the purchasing licensee has the ultimate responsibility of ensuring the outsourced product production data is properly reported and verification fees are paid.

BILLING INFORMATION

The verification participation fee will be divided by four and invoiced at the beginning of each quarter in the calendar year 2011. Current AHAM fees are noted on the survey form.
