Page 3 TO OUR VENDOR PARTNERS Thank you for being a part of the Saks Fifth Avenue vendor family. Our vendor relationships have always played a very valuable part in our business. Now that supply chain efficiencies are the key to remaining competitive and satisfying our customers, it has become critical that we develop collaborative partnerships with vendors who have a similar commitment to these technologies. We expect our vendors to support us by shipping their merchandise “floor ready,” trading with our required EDI transactions, and following our shipping, packing and invoicing guidelines. We have dedicated ourselves to ensure our vendor standards are in agreement with the direction of the retail industry. As technology advances, we will continue to review and adopt those enhancements that assist us in achieving our corporate initiatives.

Authority and Acceptance: Purchaser hereby purchases the goods specified on its electronic data interchange (EDI) or written purchase order contracts, subject to and upon the express terms and conditions hereof (the “Order”). You must have a valid Order prior to shipping goods to any Saks Fifth Avenue Enterprises subsidiary or operating company. Verbal orders and/or "house orders" will not be valid unless confirmed with a written or electronic purchase order. By shipping goods or performing specified work, you agree to the Terms and Conditions of sale set forth herein, unless otherwise modified in writing by Purchaser. Any different or additional terms in Vendor’s acceptance of the Order are hereby objected to, and Purchaser’s objection to different or additional terms shall not be waived by acceptance of any goods or payment of any invoice. Vendor Expressly Warrants and Indemnifies as Follows: A. That all the articles, material and work covered by this Order will conform to the specifications, drawings, samples or other descriptions furnished or adopted by Purchaser, and will be of good material and workmanship, and free from defects. B. That the goods will be merchantable, fit, safe and sufficient for the purpose intended. C. That all weights, measures, sizes, and particulars stamped on such goods or their containers comply with local, state and federal laws of the United States and any generally similar law or regulation in any other domestic or international jurisdiction. D. That in supplying the articles, materials, and work, Vendor has complied with all applicable laws and regulations of the country where the goods are manufactured, including but not limited to, laws against child labor, forced labor, and unsafe working conditions, and if asked, Vendor will confirm such compliance in writing. E. That the goods are accurately labeled and clearly identify the country of origin. F. That such goods and any advertising or promotional materials furnished therewith by Vendor comply and conform to all applicable federal and state laws and any regulations, rules, and standards promulgated there under, including but not limited to: Consumer Products Safety Act of 1972, Flammable Fabrics Act of 1954, Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, Fur Products Labeling Act, Federal Hazardous Substances Act of 1960, Occupational Safety and Health Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, Poison Prevention Packaging Act, Endangered Species Act, Wool Products Labeling Acts, Tariff Act of 1930, Dog and Cat Protection Act of 2000, California Proposition 65 and AB 1681, all as amended, and any generally similar law or regulation in any other domestic and international jurisdiction. G. That such goods do not and will not infringe upon any patent, trademark, trade name, copyright, right of publicity, or other similar right. You agree to protect, indemnify and hold Purchaser, its affiliates, its agents, and its employees, harmless against any claim, loss or damage, including attorneys’ fees, arising directly or indirectly from any alleged or actual trademark, patent or copyright infringement or unfair competition action resulting from Purchaser’s activities of use, sale or offering for sale any goods covered by this Order. No specification by Purchaser with respect to any part of this Order shall constitute a warranty, express or implied, against any claim for infringement of patents, copyrights or trademarks and Purchaser shall not be responsible to Vendor, as indemnitor or otherwise, for or on account of any such claim or liability. H. That Vendor will not sell to any person or entity any goods bearing or labeled with any trade name, trademark, service mark, logo, private label brand or design that is proprietary to Purchaser without the express written consent of Purchaser, even if said goods were rejected, cancelled, refused or returned by Purchaser. I. That Vendor will protect, indemnify, and hold harmless Purchaser, its affiliates, its agents, and its employees from any claim, loss, or damage, of any nature, arising directly or indirectly out of Vendor’s violation or alleged violation of the terms of this Order, including but not limited to any breach of warranty or claim connected in any way to the goods purchased under this Order. Vendor’s duty to indemnify and hold harmless covers all losses, damages, and costs, including attorneys’ fees. At Purchaser’s sole discretion, and with regard to any claims described herein, Purchaser may elect to: (i) control the defense and settlement of such claims at Vendor’s expense; or (ii) permit Vendor to control the defense and settlement of such claims at Vendor’s expense with legal counsel that is acceptable to Purchaser. To the extent legal fees are incurred by Purchaser in connection with the defense of claims described herein, Purchaser will require Vendor to directly reimburse Purchaser for such fees and costs or, at its option, may deduct all legal expenses and costs in the form of a deduction(s) or chargeback from any amounts owed to Vendor. J. That Vendor will protect, indemnify and hold Purchaser, its affiliates, its agents, and its employees, harmless against any claim, loss or damage, including attorneys’ fees, which may be made or brought against them by virtue of claims or demands of any kind which any purchaser of such goods from the Purchaser or other person may make against the Purchaser or any affiliate thereof, whether or not such goods were manufactured by Vendor or whether or not the asserted defect was known or discovered by Vendor or Purchaser. Vendor shall procure and maintain adequate product liability insurance and shall, upon request, furnish to the Purchaser certificates thereof in connection with this Order. SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 9 K. That Vendor will protect, indemnify, and hold harmless Purchaser, its affiliates, its agents, and its employees from any claim, loss, or damage, of any nature, arising directly or indirectly out of any act or omission by Vendor’s servants, agents or subcontractors of Vendor, in the furnishing of goods or in the performance of work under the Order. L. That in the event that Purchaser or any of its employees, agents or subcontractors is served with or becomes subject to any subpoena, order or other legal process in a legal proceeding, to which Purchaser is not a party seeking disclosure of any materials or information related to the goods, services, information or deliverables that Vendor renders or delivers to Purchaser, then Vendor shall bear the cost of all direct and indirect costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees related to Purchaser's response, compliance with or defense/resistance thereto. M. That prices for the goods sold to Purchaser hereunder are no less favorable than those currently extended to any other customer for the same or similar goods in similar quantities. In the event that Vendor reduces its price for such goods during the term of this Order, Vendor agrees to reduce its prices of the goods ordered hereunder correspondingly. Vendor warrants that the price shown on this Order shall be complete and no additional charges of any type shall be added without the Purchaser’s express written consent. Such additional charges include, but are not limited to, shipping, packaging, labeling, custom duties, taxes, storage, insurance, boxing, and crating. To the extent legal fees are incurred by Purchaser in connection with the defense of any of the claims or legal proceedings described in sections (a) through (m) above, Purchaser will require Vendor to directly reimburse Purchaser for such fees and costs or, at its sole option, may deduct all legal expenses and costs in the form of a deduction(s) or chargeback from any amounts owed to Vendor. The above indemnification and warranties shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Order. Intellectual Property: As necessary or appropriate for Purchaser to sell the goods included in any Order through retail stores, website, catalogue, or through other normal and customary merchandising practices, Vendor grants to Purchaser a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive right to use and display Vendor’s brand trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and any other text, graphic, icons, banner, or audiovisual features of advertising, through any distribution channel. If advertising material or other content supplied by Vendor pertaining to its products, services, or business embodies any intellectual property rights (including, but not limited to, work of authorship protected under U.S. or foreign copyright laws), Vendor shall be responsible for securing rights and licenses necessary for the use and exercise of such interests pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of this Order and represents and warrants herewith that it has obtained any and all such rights and interests. Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the operation of its business and control of the programming, content, and transactions in its retail stores, catalogues, and websites. Vendor agrees that it will not use any trademark, service mark or trade name, patent or trade dress owned or controlled by or licensed to Purchaser or any of its affiliates, or used by Purchaser or its affiliates in connection with any products, lines, departments or other goods or services of Purchaser or its affiliates including, but not limited to, “Saks Fifth Avenue,” “Saks,” “Off Fifth,” or any combination thereof, except in connection with goods shipped to Purchaser in accordance with a valid Order. Vendor agrees that all trademarks and trade names of Purchaser belong to or are licensed to Purchaser or its affiliates and Vendor will make no claim or right to use or of ownership nor will Vendor attempt to register any such trademarks or trade names. HAZARDOUS GOODS: Where the Purchaser has good cause at any time to believe that any goods ordered pursuant to the Order contain defects or hazards which could create a substantial risk of injury to any person or property, upon the Purchaser’s request, Vendor shall, at Vendor’s expense, use its best efforts to locate, identify, and recall such items, whether in the possession of the Purchaser, or the Purchaser’s customers. Vendor, upon recalling such items, shall repair or replace them or refund to retail purchasers their full retail price. INVOICING INSTRUCTIONS: Each invoice must show specific information as described within the Accounts Payable section of the "Vendor Standards Manual", located on Purchaser's website at www.saksincorporated.com under "Vendor Relations." Our website may be updated periodically and any such updates shall be applicable to all Orders. RETURN AND CANCELLATION POLICIES: You hereby agree that without prior authorization from you, and without further notice, Purchaser reserves the following rights: A. B. C. D. To refuse and/or return all goods delivered which are not equivalent to samples submitted or examined, or are damaged, or are not fit for resale, or do not conform to all specifications, terms and conditions of this order and to all warranties and guarantees herein set forth (being considered "defective" goods for our purposes). It is understood that this return policy shall apply to all such goods when found to be defective at any time prior to resale, or after resale if Purchaser allowed the customer a refund or credit. To refuse and/or return all goods which do not meet our purchase order specifications of style, size, color, quantity and/or quality (including unauthorized substitutions); or which are shipped before the ship date, or after the cancel date, or without valid purchase order numbers or without valid department numbers. To cancel a purchase order, in whole or in part, in the event the goods are not shipped in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. To cancel a purchase order, in whole or in part, in the event the goods are shipped after the cancel date, time being of the essence. SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 10 E. To accept any part of a shipment without waiving the right to refuse or reject the balance thereof by reason of Your failure to comply fully with the Terms and Conditions of the Order. All risks, claims, storage or handling charges on refused, rejected, returned, postponed or cancelled goods are your full responsibility, regardless of other terms of sale or passage of title. Any claims for non-payment of an invoice by reason of either Our non-receipt of goods shipped by You or Your non-receipt of goods returned by Us, must be sent to Purchaser via certified mail no later than 60 days after goods are shipped. When goods are returned, refused or cancelled, they shall be returned via carrier of Purchaser's choice, F.O.B. origin, freight collect. Consideration will be given to Your carrier of choice upon receipt of Your written request stating that You will not refuse any such returned goods. You will be charged the full cost of returned, refused or cancelled goods. In the interest of clarity, and for purposes of this provision "full cost” means the cost of the goods We originally purchased from You (paid to You), plus all freight and handling charges We incurred, plus any other deductions We applied or took when We purchased the goods from You originally, including, but not limited to, any fast payment or other 8% discounts. Acceptance of non-conforming goods by Purchaser shall not be deemed a waiver of Purchaser’s right to recover damages or pursue any other remedy available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York, nor shall the return of non-conforming goods to Vendor relieve Vendor of its liability for shipping such non-conforming goods. DATING, TERMS AND INSTRUCTIONS: Time is of the essence on all orders; see above rights to refuse goods if not timely delivered A. B. th Goods received on or after the 25 day of a month will be recognized as received on the 1st day of the next succeeding month. Discounts for fast payment will be calculated from the later of the date goods are received in Our distribution facility, or the date We receive an invoice. We use commercially reasonable efforts to make payment by the due date as determined by the procedures described in this Order. Because of a number of factors that can result in payment after the due date, including delays caused by the vendor, or limitations related to Saks’ billing payment cycles, We may, and You hereby agree to permit Us to, take a fast payment discount even when We do not make payment by the due date, and You agree not to challenge Our taking such discount on any ground. If YOU believe that WE are not entitled to a fast payment discount because of late payment, which is unrelated to a Vendor delay or billing payment cycle limitation, You must make an accounts payable inquiry, in writing, within sixty (60) days after the date of issuance of the Order giving rise to the claim. Inquiries or re-payment requests made after 60 days will be denied, and You agree to waive all claims based on inquiries that are not made in writing. Repayment requests of fast payment discounts will also be denied if it is determined that the delay was vendor caused, i.e., invoices sent to an incorrect address, goods did not agree with the Order, the account is in debit balance, or other extenuating circumstances exist. In addition, 8% discounts not tied to fast payment will not be refunded under any circumstances, and You agree not to seek or claim a refund of such discounts under any circumstances. VENDOR STANDARDS: Vendor recognizes receipt of and an understanding that, it is their obligation to adhere to all requirements, as cited in the current Vendor Standards Manual section of the Purchaser's website, located under "Vendor Relations." Any and all deviations from any Vendor Standards Manual guideline must be approved in writing by Purchaser. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES / EXPENSE OFFSET FEES: Purchaser is entitled to be compensated as outlined in the Vendor Standards Manual, for non-compliance with these specifications (including those fees detailed in the Expense Offset Schedule) in the form of an invoice deduction(s) from any amounts owed the Vendor. Instead of a deduction, purchaser may demand direct payment of expense offset fees or other administrative fees specified in the Vendor Standards Manual. Any such direct payment demand by Purchaser shall be made within 30 days of the date of demand. Late payments shall accrue interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month. Any amounts billed or deducted by Purchaser for failure to comply with the Vendor Standards Manual or the Terms and Conditions of this Order, shall be considered liquidated damages and not a penalty. BACK ORDERS: You agree to make one complete shipment. Purchaser reserves the right to chargeback all freight charges as a result of back orders, divided, or partial shipments. OTHER TERMS: CONFIDENTIALITY: Vendor may have access to certain commercially valuable or otherwise proprietary or confidential information relating to the operations, products, sales and business of Purchaser and its affiliated and related companies (“Confidential Information”). For purposes of this agreement, Confidential Information means that information disclosed by Purchaser to the Vendor (before or after the date hereof), including but not limited to the trade secrets of Purchaser, nonpublic information relating to Purchaser’s product plans, designs, ideas, concepts, costs, prices, finances, marketing plans, customers or potential customers, business opportunities, personnel, research, development or know-how and any other nonpublic technical or business information of Purchaser. Confidential Information does not, however, include information that: (a) is now or subsequently becomes generally available to the public through no fault or breach on the part of Vendor; (b) SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 11 the Vendor can demonstrate to have had rightfully in its possession without an obligation of confidentiality prior to disclosure hereunder; or (c) is independently developed by the Vendor without the use of any Confidential Information of the disclosing party. Vendor will not disclose, publish or disseminate Confidential Information to anyone other than its employees who need to know such Confidential Information, and the Vendor will take reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or dissemination of Confidential Information. The Vendor will not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the sale or offering of sale of goods under the Order without the prior written approval of an authorized representative of the Purchaser. If the Vendor receives notice that it may be required or ordered by any judicial or governmental entity to disclose Confidential Information of Purchaser, it will make reasonable efforts to give Purchaser sufficient prior notice in order to contest such requirement or order. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS: In no event shall Purchaser be liable for anticipated profits or for punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages. Purchaser’s sole liability on any claim of loss or damage arising out of, or in connection with, or resulting from the Order or from the performance or breach thereof shall in no case exceed the price allocable to the goods or unit thereof which gives rise to the claim. Any action resulting from any claimed breach on the part of Purchaser as to the good delivered hereunder must be commenced within one (1) year after the date of issuance of the Order giving rise to the claim. ASSIGNMENT: You shall not assign or transfer this Order or any interest therein or monies payable thereunder without our prior written consent, and any assignment made without such consent shall be null and void. Purchaser may assign this Order and its interest therein to any affiliated or subsidiary corporation, or to any corporation succeeding to Purchaser's business without Your consent. Any assignment, consented to by Purchaser, remains subject to all Terms and Conditions hereof, including Purchaser's rights to offset and chargeback. REMEDIES AND NO WAIVER: No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Order shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Purchaser. In addition, no failure or delay on the part of Purchaser in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Order shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No waiver of a breach shall be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach. The rights and remedies herein provided Purchaser shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies given by law. SEVERABILITY: This agreement is severable and the lack of enforceability or the voidance of any parts of this agreement shall not affect the other parts of this agreement. FORCE MAJEURE: Purchaser may have the option of cancelling all or any part of an Order where discontinuance of or substantial interference with the Purchaser’s business is caused, in whole or in part, by reason of fire, flood, earthquake, labor dispute, war, Act of God, embargo, riot, terrorism, governmental regulations, or other causes beyond Purchaser’s control.

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 12 BUSINESS PRACTICE STANDARDS FOR DOMESTIC VENDORS, SUPPLIERS & CONTRACTORS OVERVIEW Saks Incorporated is committed to legal compliance and ethical business practices in all our operations worldwide and is firm in our resolve to do business only with those vendors, suppliers, and contractors which we believe share in that commitment. In support of this commitment, Saks Incorporated demands that all individuals or organizations who provide direct and indirect materials and services, as well as all suppliers, contractors, consultants and other intermediaries (herein referred to as “Vendors”) agree to follow our Business Practice Standards as condition of the business relationship. CHILD LABOR / SWEATSHOPS We require our vendors to comply with all applicable laws and regulations mandated by the country in which the merchandise or product is manufactured, including but not limited to laws against child labor, forced labor and unsafe working conditions. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST A conflict of interest occurs when personal interests or activities conflict with the business interests of Saks Incorporated. Accordingly, vendors are required to make all decisions that affect Saks Incorporated based solely on Saks Incorporated’s best interests, free from improper influences (or the appearance of influence). Vendors must not become involved in any situation that creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with Saks Incorporated. A conflict of interest can occur in a number of situations. Several examples include: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Doing business with an associate or family member outside the Saks Incorporated business relationship Employing an associate or the family member of an associate A vendor having a financial interest in a direct competitor A vendor doing business with a direct competitor while having access to confidential or competitive information An associate or family member having a significant financial interest in a vendor Associates must not provide services for, or have a financial interest in or with, a customer, competitor, supplier, vendor or competitor, without the written consent of the Company’s General Counsel. It is not, however, typically considered a conflict of interest to own less than 1% of the outstanding shares of a publicly traded company, provided that such investment does not constitute a significant part of the associate’s portfolio. Each vendor is obligated to avoid any situation which may cause a conflict of interest and to make full disclosure of any actual or potential conflicts of interest with Saks Incorporated management officials. BRIBES AND KICKBACKS All associates and any agents or other individuals representing Saks Incorporated must not request or receive any kick-back, bribe, excessive or disguised commission or similar payment or benefit from any vendor. Similarly, associates, agents or individuals representing Saks Incorporated must not directly or indirectly make any kick-back, bribe, excessive or disguised commission or similar payment to any vendor or to any public or governmental officials. ANTITRUST Vendors, agents or other individuals representing Saks Incorporated must not agree or act together with any competitor with regard to prices, terms or conditions of sale, purchase, production, distribution, territories, customers, or suppliers and must not exchange or discuss with a competitor prices, terms or conditions of sale, or any other competitive information, or engage in any other conduct which may restrict competition or otherwise violate any of the antitrust laws. GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Saks Incorporated supports a gift policy that restricts gifts to associates with very few exceptions and respectfully requests that vendors do not send gifts to associates. Gifts covered by this policy include anything of value. Examples of gifts include: meals; entertainment; discounts; merchandise; trips; services; tickets to theater, concerts and sporting events; golf outings; vehicle use; and lodging. Gifts do not include: (1) items that are available generally to a large group of associates on an equal basis; (2) perishable items (such as chocolates, fruit baskets or flowers) that are shared with associates at the associate’s work location; and (3) business-related meals and business-related entertainment that meet all certain restrictions. Saks Incorporated associates are prohibited from: 1. 2. Soliciting gifts from others with whom the Company does business or seeks to do business; Giving or accepting gifts to or from others with whom the Company does business or seeks to do business; SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 13 3. 4. Accepting any gift of cash or securities or a loan from others with whom the Company does business or seeks to do business (other than a loan from a financial institution on terms and at interests rates available to borrowers generally at the time of borrowing); and Accepting gifts of any kind that would encourage or obligate (or be reasonably perceived as obligating) the associate to give special consideration to the person or company making the gift. Participation in customary business meals and entertainment is not a violation of this Policy, provided that: (a) it is intended to promote legitimate business discussions or to foster better business relations with the host; (b) it involves expenditures that are reasonable and occurs at a frequency that is reasonable under the circumstances; (c) it occurs in settings that are reasonable and appropriate to the business at hand; and (d) the actual or prospective Company business partner or customer is present at the meal or event. Some vendors, particularly those vendors of cosmetics and fragrances, occasionally offer “gratis” or “free” merchandise to our associates. The following guidelines apply to such Gratis Merchandise: 1. 2. 3. 4. Gratis Merchandise must never be solicited by Associates. Gratis Merchandise may not be returned to or exchanged at Saks or any other retailer, or sold privately under any circumstances. Gratis Merchandise may only be accepted by: (a) store Associates who are selling the vendor’s line of merchandise; (b) the Department Managers of eligible store Associates; and (c) with respect to new product launches only, merchants who are considering placing a purchase order on behalf of the Company for the particular Gratis Merchandise. Acceptance by any merchant of Gratis Merchandise for new product launches is subject to the prior approval of the DMM. In all cases, acceptance of Gratis Merchandise must be in full compliance with any and all applicable policies and procedures established by the Asset Protection Department, as may be modified from time to time. The Asset Protection policies relating to Gratis Merchandise are available at all store locations and they require, among other things: (a) that Vendors who desire to distribute Gratis Merchandise at a store must be instructed to leave the merchandise at the store Asset Protection Package Check Area; and (b) that Vendors who wish to send Gratis Merchandise to the homes of eligible Associates or to distribute Gratis Merchandise at a seminar must first obtain written authorization from the relevant Department Manager on forms prescribed by the Asset Protection Department. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, TRADE SECRETS, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Vendors have a duty to not disclose confidential information concerning Saks Incorporated (including records, reports, processes, plans, methods, and prospective financial information), or to disclose information about the Company’s customers or other confidential information obtained through the vendor’s relationship with Saks Incorporated. Any trademarks or patentable or copyrightable subject matter, including computer programs and systems or methods of doing business, created and which relates to the Saks Incorporated’s business, is intellectual property belonging to the Company and will be held in the name of the Company.

By implementing these technologies and guidelines, we can expedite our merchandise flow to the selling floor, better manage our inventories, increase sales, and enhance customer service. This allows us to continue to build a more successful and mutually profitable partnership with our vendors. VENDOR PARTNER RESPONSIBILITIES Here is a summary of our standards. Refer to the appropriate section for more details. • Mark all merchandise with quality, industry standard vendor generated UPC or EAN barcode tickets, which includes our retail price or a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). • Provide accurate, updated UPC data via the GXS Catalogue. • EDI documents: • 1. 850 Electronic Purchase Order 2.

Collateral must be on a separate PO from actual product, packaged separately and clearly marked “Collateral.” SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 15 UPC-A OR EAN TICKETING The foundation of our collaborative vendor partnership is the implementation of the vendor Universal Product Code (UPC). This provides us with a common language for all communication. The majority of our purchase dollars is spent with vendors who use UPC. Merchandise not marked with UPC is more costly to process and delays our merchandise flow to the selling floor. To obtain UPC, please contact GS1 US at http://www.gs1us.org/get-started/im-new-to-gs1-us. The following steps will ensure that your company is positioned for successful UPC partnerships with Saks Fifth Avenue. Mark all your merchandise with a vendor generated, industry standard UPC (UPC-A) or EAN (European Article Number) barcode. Do not use both. Ensure that your UPC/EAN tickets are accurately affixed to the merchandise. • Include our retail or Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) on your UPC tickets. (Refer to Ticketing Guidelines.) Our retail price is included in both our 850 EDI document and our approved “Buyer’s Workmate” computer generated hard copy. Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH: Your price ticket must contain a “dual retail,” meaning MSRP or “Market Price” retail plus the OFF 5TH selling retail communicated by your OFF 5TH buying office. Please see ticket format guidelines for additional details. • Include Product ID (vendor style #) along with color/size (if applicable) on all tickets. Tickets should be printed in English. • Create and affix your UPC tickets following the Ticket Placement Guidelines. • Assign your UPC numbers at the product ID/color/size level. These numbers should be unique to the merchandise. Although the industry standard requires a waiting period of 30-months for fashion merchandise and 48-months for nonfashion merchandise, we recommend that you do not reuse UPCs, EANs, or PIDs. • Use the NRF Color (3 digit) and Size (5 digit) Codes. • Do not use “secondary” barcode formats (I 2/5, 128) on merchandise or ISBN (book numbers) on non-book items. • Gifts with purchase (GWP) and purchase with purchase (PWP) must be assigned and ticketed with UPC codes. This information must be included in your UPC catalog and all EDI transactions. GXS CATALOGUE Vendors must provide an accurate UPC or EAN listing via the GXS Catalogue prior to product availability. To establish an account with GXS Catalogue, please contact at 1(800) 560-4347 or http://www.gxs.com. • GXS Catalogue must include UPC/EAN, meaningful product description and ID, selection code, NRF Color, Size Codes and requested Extended Item Attributes. Please reference Extended Item Attribute Guidelines located on our website at https://www.saksincorporated.com/vendorrelations/sfaevendors.asp under “Reference Materials.” • Ensure that the specific product ID/color/size on the GXS Catalogue matches the information that is used on all other materials including the UPC ticket and the merchandise it is affixed to, buyer materials, and shipping information. • UPC catalog data must be configured following the specifications of GS1. NON-GXS CATALOGUE USERS: You will be required to provide a spreadsheet with accurate UPC and style information to the appropriate buying office for manual matching. If Saks Fifth Avenue orders more than 100 UPCs/EANs annually from your company, an expense offset fee will be assessed. See Expense Offset Fee section. SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 16 ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE (EDI) Once a UPC partnership is established, you will be eligible for trading EDI documents with us. EDI is a paperless electronic transmission system which provides us the opportunity to: • Expedite communication between the retailer and vendor at a more detailed (color/size) level • Eliminate paper media and manual processing • Contain costs by reducing redundant data entry and lowering required weeks of supply Saks Fifth Avenue has developed our EDI program to conform to industry standards, eliminating the need for you to develop specialized systems. We follow the GS1 VICS guidelines and expect our trading partners do the same. EDI is a requirement for doing business with Saks Fifth Avenue. All vendors are expected to comply and to contact us to start testing. Refer to the Vendor Relations/EDI contact list. EDI mapping specifications are located at https://www.saksincorporated.com/vendorrelations/sfaevendors.asp under “Master Documents and Announcements.” Failure to comply will result in an expense offset fee. See Expense Offset Fees section.

We believe that this can be accomplished through cross docking. Our definition of cross docking means shipments are accurate, received 100% floor ready and moved directly through our distribution facilities without any merchandise preparation. VENDOR PARTNER RESPONSIBILITIES Ship all merchandise to Saks Fifth Avenue following all cross docking requirements: • A valid purchase order, packed by store location • Merchandise is 100% floor ready • An accurate 856 carton level Advance Ship Notice/Manifest received prior to shipment with a related, scanable GS1-128 Shipping Container label • Follow Transportation Routing and Shipping Instructions, including an Electronic VICS Bill of Lading to our carriers SHIP DATE: The first day receipts are allowed at the DC or store.

Merchandise not shipped according to these specifications can experience delays in processing and loss of time on the selling floor. All shipments are to be sent to our Distribution Centers unless the buying office has authorized a Direct-to-Door shipment. For more information, see Direct-to-Door Shipments section. • Shipments must arrive pre-distributed unless the buying office has obtained bulk (post-distributed) approval from Vendor Relations. ⇒ Pre-distributed: One purchase order, packed by individual store location ⇒ Post-distributed: One purchase order, packed by style/color/size • You are encouraged to use recyclable, ecologically safe packing materials to prevent concealed loss or damage during transit so that it is received in sellable condition. Please do not be excessive with packing materials as it will increase processing time. For more information, see Wrinkle Prevention section. • Concealed damages or shortages without any proof of visible damage or tampering with the package will be charged back to your company. Buying Office approval is required to replace damaged/missing merchandise. • For Dual-DC Ship-To States, see Carrier Matrix in the Corporate Shipping and Routing Guide located on our website at https://www.saksincorporated.com/vendorrelations/sfaevendors.asp under “Master Documents and Announcements” to ensure merchandise is shipped to the correct DC location. WRINKLE PREVENTION • Clear Polyethylene (dry cleaning) bags may be used to preserve the integrity of the merchandise. • All polybags are required to have the following safety warning. This text should be clearly printed on the bag in a visible location and be smudge-proof. WARNING: TO AVOID DANGER OF SUFFOCATION, KEEP THIS PLASTIC BAG AWAY FROM BABIES AND CHILDREN. DO NOT USE THIS BAG IN CRIBS, BEDS, CARRIAGES, OR PLAYPENS. THIS BAG IS NOT A TOY. • Place tissue or cardboard between the layers of merchandise if necessary to prevent crushing and shifting of the contents. If folded, keep the folds to a minimum. Do not over pack. • Strings or Rubber bands may be used to bundle hangers to prevent shifting. Do not use tape or wire. • Assist the Freight Carrier by identifying cartons with “Do Not Crush” or “This End Up” if the merchandise inside is easily crushed or wrinkled. • Utilize the appropriate polybag size allowing merchandise to fit comfortably. Polybags must be securely sealed. • Position the ticket affixed to the merchandise so it is visible through the polybag. SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 29 CARTON SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS • Merchandise must be packed into conveyable carton and securely sealed. • Cartons may be opened for handling by our distribution centers. Ensure merchandise is packaged properly so that cartons can be resealed. • Carton strength must be adequate to prevent crushing or damage during transit. • Select a carton that best fits the product. Allow ¼” below the top and 1/8” from the sides. Hangers must fit squarely in the carton, not at an angle. • Carton size minimum/maximum: Dimension Length Width Height Weight • Minimum 9” 9” 4” 5 lb. Maximum 36” 24” 30” 70 lb. For Master Packed Carton Shipments: • All inner packages of master packs should be of shippable cardboard. • Cartons must be clearly marked “MASTER PACKED.” • All cartons inside must be labeled with Store and PO number. PALLETS • Pallet shipments must be pre-distributed. • If the carton count per store is insufficient to build a complete pallet, multiple stores may be combined. Segregate the stores by placing heavy cardboard dividers between them. • Each pallet must be labeled with the following information: 1. Saks Fifth Avenue operating company name/address (i.e., Saks Fifth Avenue, OFF 5TH) 2. Purchase order number 3. Department number 4. Store number and abbreviation 5. Number of cartons contained within the pallet NOTE: Vendor will be responsible for any shortages. SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 30 EDI-ASN SHIPMENTS An Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) is an electronic packing slip that allows us to upload receipt information directly into our system and eliminate data entry. Transmitting information electronically helps decrease human error and processing time. Most importantly, EDI sets the stage that allows merchandise to be cross-docked through our distribution centers to the selling floor accurately and efficiently. Saks Fifth Avenue requires all vendors to provide an ASN/Manifest and a related GS1-128 Shipping Container label with all shipments. Vendors that are not EDI compliant must follow Non-ASN Shipments guidelines. An expense offset fee will be assessed for all merchandise not in compliance with our EDI-ASN standards. EDI-856 ASN: ADVANCE SHIP NOTICE The EDI-856 must be created following the UCC guidelines with all the required Saks Fifth Avenue segments. See SFA EDI Mapping Specifications located on our website at https://www.saksincorporated.com/vendorrelations.asp under “Master Documents and Announcements.” Our 856 ASN EDI requirement applies to all Direct to Door shipments with the following exceptions: Merchandise shipped over night or hand delivered to a store the same day as ordered. Consignment jewelry Bridal gowns and accessories Made-to-Measure merchandise where UPC is not available Leased operations For additional Direct-to-Door Shipment guidelines, see Direct-to-Door section. Your ASN must: • Be tested and certified by our EDI Offices before going into production. Vendors are required to notify the SFA EDI Office to begin testing. See contact list. • Be transmitted without delay prior to receipt of goods to our distributions center/stores or an expense offset fee will be assessed for late ASN. • Be transmitted accurately. Our Distribution centers consistently conduct audits to ensure that this is being achieved. If Saks Fifth Avenue identifies vendor errors, an expense offset fee will be assessed. See Vendor Quality Management section. • Be a consolidated VICS 856 Advance Ship Notice/Manifest at the carton level. • Be prepared by separate Bills of Lading and by DC location. For small package carrier (FedEx, UPS), a separate ASN is required for each carton. Be sure to include the tracking number in the REF ‘CN’ segment. • Reflect the same BOL number in the REF ‘BM’ segment that is used on the paper or electronic document. An expense offset fee will be assessed if either the BOL number is missing from an ASN or it does not match the BOL document. NOTE: In order for EDI vendors to discontinue sending packing slips, you must demonstrate the ability to quickly re-transmit an ASN upon request and obtain approval from the Vendor Relations Office.

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 31 GS1-128 SHIPPING CONTAINER LABEL To maximize the ASN opportunity, we require a related GS1-128 Shipping Container Label on all EDI shipments. The purpose of the GS1-128 is to connect the physical units of a vendor’s shipment with its electronic information. We do this by scanning the GS1-128 label and electronically matching it to the information in our ASN file. Once this is accomplished and verified, we are able to acknowledge the shipment, validate its accuracy, book into our inventory, and send the merchandise directly to our stores. For GS1-128 label format approval, email a copy to vendorrelationsny@saksinc.com or mail to SFA Vendor Relations. Any EDI shipments received without a GS1-128 label will be assessed an expense offset fee. • Ensure label is in legible and scanable condition upon arrival to our DC or store locations. • GS1-128 labels are not usable unless they are accompanied by a valid EDI-856 ASN. Confirm your GS1-128 label matches the ASN data. • Apply one GS1-128 label per carton. Do not apply the same barcode number to multiple cartons in a shipment. • Per GS1 US, a SSCC number should not be used to identify another shipping container for a minimum of 12 months from the time it is shipped to a trading partner. • Affix your GS1-128 Shipping Container Label on the longest side of the carton, not on the front. Ensure the label is placed upright (not sideways). It should be scanable, at least an ANSI “C” grade. Do not place it on a seam or around the corners of the carton. If your shipping carton is less than 4” in height (i.e., dress box), wrap the top of the label over (ensure the UCC/EAN-128 20 digit serialized shipping container code is positioned within band so it is scanable) or affix it on the top of the box as per our illustration. • The SSCC-18 serialized carton code number on any Saks Fifth Avenue GS1-128 carton label must remain unique and cannot be reused or duplicated for ANY shipment for ANY Saks Fifth Avenue Operating Companies for a period of 12months or an expense offset fee will be assessed. The uniqueness of the SSCC-18 is controlled in the S1-S9 (serialized) section of the number, which is assigned by each vendor. • Do not affix additional 20-digit barcode label in SSCC-18 format other than GS1-128. • If your shipping carton is also to be displayed on the selling carton, do not cover the product model number, UPC code, or any other consumer identification information with the GS1-128 label.

Saks Fifth Avenue conducts accuracy and financial audits on vendor shipments at our distribution centers. AUDITS Audits are performed by comparing and verifying the packing slip data or the ASN with the associated GS1-128 label (at store, style, color, size, quantity level) against the physical units. Audit reports titled ‘Shipment Statement’ and ‘Shipment Summary’ will be communicated to each vendor partner, to increase productivity gains and quality improvements. If shipment discrepancies are identified during VQM audit process, an expense offset fee will be assessed. VQM STRATIFICATION PI (Performance Index) or accuracy of your shipments will be calculated weekly through a stratification process. Subsequent to this process, your company can be promoted or demoted one PI level or remain at the same level. This evaluation will be formally communicated to your company quarterly. Saks Fifth Avenue Performance Ranking consists of several levels; Platinum, Gold Tier, Silver Tier, Bronze Tier, Entry Level and Targeted Level. Vendors who cannot maintain accuracy level of 98% will be identified as “Target” and will be alerted for audit. VENDOR TIERS Shipments Required to Promote 1 Accuracy % th Audit Every N Shipment Tier Level 99.9 10 Platinum Tier 2 99.7 7 Gold Tier 3 99.5 5 Silver Tier 4 98.8 3 Bronze Tier 5 98.1 1 Entry Level For questions and concerns, please contact Karrie Ewing at Karrie_Ewing@s5a.com or (410) 297-5574. RECEIVED NOT ORDERED Saks Fifth Avenue purchase orders specify style, color, size of each unit for each store. All vendors are expected to ship according to the issued and approved purchase order. Units not shipped accordingly to style, color, size and store will be considered overages and/or substitutions and will be classified as Received-Not-Ordered. Received Not Ordered negatively impacts the open-to-buy process making it difficult to effectively manage the overall business. It is important to ship units correctly to ensure best customer service in our stores. Various circumstances and changes may impact the initial purchase order prior to shipping. Any changes made will be communicated by the buying office. It is your responsibility to request an EDI-PO retransmission or a hard copy reprint of the updated purchase order as confirmation of the change. Please be advised Saks Fifth Avenue reserves the right to refuse or return shipment without vendor authorization. Saks Fifth Avenue also reserves the right to keep the Received-Not-Ordered units and assess the appropriate expense offset fee. PARTIAL SHIPMENTS AND BACK ORDERS Saks Fifth Avenue accepts partial and back order shipments as long as the purchase order remains approved and is shipped prior to the Cancel date. Do not substitute any units on any purchase order. If you cannot ship as specified, please communicate with your buying office. SAKS FIFTH AVENUE VENDOR STANDARDS MANUAL REVISED 07-14-2014 Page 37 TRANSPORTATION REQUIRMENTS All merchandise must be distributed, marked, and shipped as indicated on the purchase orders.

Non-compliance with our invoicing standards may cause processing delays. Payment Terms are upon receipt of merchandise or invoice, whichever is later. Due dates will be extended without the loss of th discount until the invoice is received. Merchandise received on or after the 25 of the month will be paid as though received on the first of the following month. Additionally, merchandise which is shipped early, if accepted, will have the payment due date calculated from the “Start Ship Date” on the purchase order. Failure to follow invoicing instructions may result in an expense offset fee. These fees are determined if additional measures are required to be taken by the Accounts Payable department. VENDOR SETUP The Buying Office will provide a copy of the setup documents and will work with the vendor to ensure the proper payment terms are negotiated. The following documentation is required by Accounts Payable to complete your setup request: 1. 2. 3. Completed setup and maintenance form Blank copy of invoice Copy of Customs Bond (For goods are manufactured overseas) DOMESTIC SUPPLIER Saks Fifth Avenue can only purchase from a company with Landed Duty Paid (LDP) terms of sale.
