Buyer is responsible for complying with these terms and for reviewing these terms on a regular basis to ensure that Buyer is aware of changes in these terms.

MINIMUM ADVERTISED PRICING AND INTERNET ADVERTISING POLICY RC has unilaterally adopted this Policy, which is applicable to each Buyer with respect to Buyer's advertising of RC Products and the advertising and sale of RC Products on the internet.

1. Definitions: (a) RC Products means any product supplied by RC; (b) Net Price means the stated price less all discounts, premiums, trade-ins, coupons, allowances and free goods or services offered with the RC Products; and (c) Minimum Price (MAP) means the amount established by RC and provided to Buyer from time to time by e-mail or any other means; (d) RC Mark means the RC trademark and all other trademarks, service marks, trade names or other proprietary designations used in connection with the RC products; and (e) RC Product Number means any stock-keeping unit (SKU) number or RC catalog number for RC products and any other number used by RC to identify RC products.

2. Minimum Advertised Price: Each Buyer remains free to establish its own resale prices. However, a Buyer may not at any time: (a) advertise or otherwise promote RC Products at a Net Price less than the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP); or (b) sell RC Products to any other person or entity who advertises or otherwise promotes RC Products at a Net Price less than the MAP (whether or not Buyer is aware that the other person or entity intends to advertise or otherwise promote RC Products below the MAP).

3. Internet Sales and Advertising: Each Buyer remains free to advertise its own products and services. A Buyer may advertise and sell RC Products through the Buyer's own proprietary internet store residing on a URL owned by Buyer. By way of example only and not in limitation, Buyer ABC Company may sell on its own propriety online store residing at www.abc-company.com. In addition, a Buyer may advertise and sell RC Products on Amazon marketplace (www.amazon.com). No Buyer may advertise or sell RC Products on any other websites, including with limitation on www.ebay.com or on www.lowes.com, www.sears.com or other "DIY" websites. Furthermore, a Buyer may not at any time: (a) advertise or otherwise promote RC products using any RC Mark or RC Product Number on any Google or Bing web site in any manner including without limitation by purchasing Google Adwords or any equivalent Bing advertising service; or (b) sell RC Products to any other person or entity who advertises or otherwise promotes or advertises RC products using any RC Mark or RC Product Number on any Google or Bing web site in any manner including without limitation by purchasing Google Adwords or any equivalent Bing advertising service (whether or not Buyer is aware that the other person or entity intends to advertise or otherwise promote RC Products using any RC Mark or RC Product Number on any Google or Bing web site).

4. RC will apply the following rules in determining compliance with this Policy:

a. Where a "coupon," rebate or a discount for use with RC Products is advertised, the value of the coupon or that discount will be subtracted from the listed advertised price to determine the Net Price.

b. Where an offer of "free shipping" or reduced shipping costs applicable to RC Products is advertised, the value of such an offer of reduced shipping costs will not be subtracted from the listed advertised price to determine the Net Price.

c. Where an automated system that delivers to resale customers any price or "instant quote" for RC Products by email, in an Internet based ordering system or "shopping cart," as a "pop-up," or by any other automated Internet based means, is used, such practices are considered advertising or promotion within the meaning of this Policy and must comply with the Policy.

d. Where the MAP price is crossed out, the customer is asked "to call for price," or any other means is used to indicate that the actual price may be less than the MAP price, such practices are considered advertising or promotion within the meaning of this Policy.

5. If Buyer violates this Policy, RC reserves the right to require Buyer to refrain from advertising RC Products and to cease advertising or selling RC Products through any Internet website for a period of six (6) months, and Buyer agrees to comply with such requirement. Furthermore, any violation of this Policy will result in the automatic and immediate termination without notice of the license granted under the RC Website Terms of Use to use technical specifications, product literature, and any other materials relating to RC Lighting products that are contained in or made available on the RC website.

6. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that RC is under no obligation to sell RC Products to Buyer. RC may refuse to accept orders from Buyer if: (a) Buyer violates this Policy more than once in any twelve month period; (b) RC determines that Buyer has flagrantly violated this Policy; or (c) for any other lawful reason.

7. RC will act unilaterally when executing this Policy and will neither solicit, consider, nor agree to any recommendation, request, or demand of any other person or entity. All matters of interpretation and application of the terms of this Policy will be at RC's sole discretion.

Each Buyer is free to decide independently whether or not to follow this Policy. RC neither seeks, nor will it accept, any assurance of compliance or agreement from Buyer regarding this Policy. Nor will RC discuss any conditions of acceptance related to this Policy. No one other than an officer or director of RC is, has been or will be authorized to modify or alter this Policy, or to bind RC to any action inconsistent with its terms. In particular, and without limitation, RC sales personnel and agents are not authorized to modify or grant exceptions to this Policy.
