EXHIBIT B

MAP Policy

1. Preamble

Company recognizes that its success is tied to the success of its network of select Premium Resellers. Company also knows that many of its Premium Resellers invest significant time and resources to deliver an extraordinary End User experience. Company wants to protect its ability to do so, while at the same time discouraging price-based advertising that would be detrimental to its Premium Reseller’s service and support efforts. As a result, Company has unilaterally established this Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) Policy.

2. Policy Statement

Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to discontinue doing business with any Premium Reseller that advertises any product(s) covered by this MAP Policy at a price lower than the MAP.

3. General Guidelines

3.1. All products offered by the Company and marketed by the Premium Reseller are covered by this policy. Company may in its sole discretion modify this list of products from time to time.

3.2. Company recognizes that Premium Resellers are free to make their own decisions to advertise and sell any Product at any price they choose, without consulting or advising the Company. Similarly, Company will exercise its right to make its own decisions regarding the Premium Reseller Program (“Premium Reseller Program”), supplemental marketing materials, point-of-purchase displays, product allocation, new product availability, or future promotional, joint marketing, or sponsorship programs.

3.3. The MAP Policy applies to advertised prices, not the price at which MAP products are actually sold or offered for sale to an individual in-store or over the telephone.

3.4. Company believes in maintaining a well regulated and fair marketplace for all its authorized Premium Resellers.

4.2. The MAP Policy does not apply to solely on-premise or in-store advertising that is not distributed to customers

4.3. Website features such as “click for price”, automated “bounce-back” pricing e-mails, pre-formatted e-mail responses, forms, automatic price display for any items prior to being placed in a customer’s shopping cart and other similar features are considered to be communications initiated by the dealer (rather than by the End User) and thereby constitute “advertising” under this MAP Policy.

4.4. It shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise that a customer may “call for price” or “email for price”, or to use similar language, specifically with respect to Company products, so long as no price is listed.

4.5. This MAP Policy also applies to any activity which Company determines, in its sole discretion, is designed or intended to circumvent the intent of this MAP Policy, such as solicitations for “group purchases” and the like.

4.6. It shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise in general that the reseller has “the lowest prices” or will match or beat its competitors’ prices, or to use similar phrases; so long as the reseller does not include any advertised price below MAP and otherwise complies with this MAP Policy.

4.7. From time to time, Company may permit resellers to advertise MAP products at prices lower than the MAP retail price. In such events, the Company reserves the right to modify or suspend the MAP retail price with respect to the affected products for a specified period of time by providing advance notice to all Premium Resellers of such changes.

4.8. From time to time, the Company may offer a direct manufacturer’s rebate to customers. In such events, it shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise the availability of the manufacturer’s rebate, provided that:

(a) the advertisement includes a MAP-compliant price, the rebate amount, and the net price after manufacturer’s rebate in the same type size and style;

(b) an asterisk is placed next to the net price after manufacturer’s rebate; and

(c) “after manufacturer’s rebate” appears in the same area of the advertisement as the advertised product.

5. Bundling Guidelines

5.1. “Bundling” or advertising Company products for sale together with other products will violate this MAP Policy when:

(a) the effective or stated price of the bundle represents a discount of greater than 10% of the MAP; or

(b) the product(s) bundled with MAP products violate Company’s Intellectual Property rights; or

(c) the product(s) bundled with MAP products include words, packaging, graphics, or other indicia which may create customer confusion as to the source of the product(s); or

(d) the effective or stated discount is greater than 10% of the highest priced item in the bundle.

5.2. Product(s) bundled with the MAP products must not, without conspicuous warning, be:

(a) technically incompatible; or

(b) create or encourage additional risk of damage, bodily injury, or death to the customer if used together.

5.3. Gift cards, coupons, points, or other incentives which are contingent on the purchase of a MAP product will violate this MAP policy when:

(a) the effective or stated price of the bundle represents an immediate discount of greater than 10% of the MAP; or

(b) the effective or stated price of the bundle represents a discount of greater than 10% of the MAP after taking into consideration any contingent future purchase.

5.4. Rebate programs from Company, whether on MAP products or Company’s partners’ products, are exempt from this policy.

6. Policy Enforcement

6.1. If a Premium Reseller with multiple store locations violates this MAP Policy at any one store location, or on any associated website, then Company will consider this to be a violation by the dealer.

6.2. Company reserves the right to cancel any pending orders, restrict future orders, or suspend Premium Reseller’s account if Company reasonably believes:

(a) a dealer has violated the provisions of this policy; or

(b) a dealer intends to violate this policy.

6.3. Company’s MAP Policy Administrator is solely responsible for determining whether a violation of the MAP Policy has occurred, as well as determining appropriate sanctions.

6.4. Waivers to this MAP Policy may be granted in Company’s sole discretion by the MAP Policy Administrator in writing. Company sales, marketing or other personnel are not authorized to modify or grant exceptions to the MAP Policy. In the event that the MAP Policy Administrator authorizes a waiver to the MAP Policy, Premium Resellers must strictly adhere to the terms of the waiver letter. Deviation from the terms of a waiver letter is a violation of the MAP Policy.

6.5. Company reviews the advertised prices of Premium Resellers, either directly or via the use of third-party agencies or tools. Premium Resellers are expected to provide reasonable cooperation in any Company investigations regarding possible MAP Policy violations. Hindering, obstructing, delaying, or otherwise failing to cooperate with a Company MAP Policy investigation is a violation of this MAP Policy.

6.6. The MAP Policy will be enforced by Company in its sole discretion and without notice. Premium Resellers have no right to enforce the MAP Policy. Violations of this policy may result in any of the aforementioned sanctions up to and including termination of the business relationship, as well as any available remedies at law.
