29 GENERAL ADVERTISING POLICY Camera Ready Ads/Electronic Transmission A camera-ready ad is an ad that is provided to the newspaper complete and ready for reproduction. For this definition, it is an ad that is submitted to The Enquirer in an electronic format, preferably a PDF. The Enquirer requires version 1.3 compatible PDF documents with transparencies flattened. When converting postscript files in Adobe Acrobat Distiller, please use the Press Optimized specification to allow the default compression & conversion settings to be applied to your file for newsprint reproduction. Our Digital Imaging staff will check each file for correct toning and resolution settings. Images within your PDF should be saved at 200 ppi for correct reproduction in newsprint. When submitting color ads, please supply a color proof of your ad to be used as a reference during the scanning and printing processes. Ads can be submitted via a form of electronic transfer (i.e. CD or other accepted disk formats, ad service providers such as Wam!Net or AP AdSend). Ads must meet the electronic transfer standards and must be complete and ready for publication. Color All colors must be designated as CMYK process color. If you create a custom color in your design or include a Pantone color, please make sure it is designated for process color separation. Any other type of color designation will not process through our production cycle properly and may result in a black and white image or incorrect color. Photos Custom or embedded profiles within PhotoShop should not be used in the production of an ad as they may not process throughout production system properly. Ad Transfer Receiving ads electronically as Adobe PDF (Acrobat v4) files is the preferred method. Ads can be sent to Enquirer Media directly over the Internet via FTP at atol.cincinnati.com. CD s are also acceptable. A current list of our deadlines and specifications, including fonts, supported media and software platforms are also available at EnquirerMedia.com. Advertisers can also send ads through the following third-party electronic ad transmission providers: AdDirect, AdExpress, AP AdSend, AdTransit and WAMNET. 29

30 LEGAL PROVISIONS Contract rates are available to advertisers with established credit. If, at the end of the Advertiser s contract with Enquirer Media, the Advertiser shall have (a) purchased more or less volume/dollars of advertising than agreed to in the contract or (b) exceeded or fallen short of the minimum revenue commitment of advertising agreed to in the contract, to the extent that a different rate would be applicable according to Enquirer Media s current rate schedule, Advertiser s rate for all space used during the contract term shall be reduced or increased to the appropriate rate indicated on said rate schedule, and Advertiser shall pay or receive a credit for the difference. Credits will be to the next contract level only and will be issued in the form of credit toward future advertising. Advertising contracts may not be assigned or transferred by advertiser or its advertising agency ( Agency ), if any. Any claim by Advertiser for a credit related to rates incorrectly invoiced or paid must be submitted in writing to the Newspaper within ninety (90) days of the invoice date or the claim will be waived. Enquirer Media may revise its advertising rate schedule at any time upon 30 days written notice to Advertiser, and Advertiser may, without penalty, cancel its advertising contract at any time prior to the time the new rates become effective upon prior written notice to Enquirer Media. Enquirer Media may, in its sole discretion, edit, classify, or reject at any time any advertising copy submitted by Advertiser. Advertiser shall pay for the advertising purchased under its contract according to the terms indicated on Enquirer Media s invoices, and, if it fails to timely pay as provided for in the invoices, Enquirer Media may reject advertising copy and/or immediately cancel Advertiser s contract, and Advertiser agrees to indemnify Enquirer Media for all expenses incurred in connection with the collection of amounts payable, including court costs and attorneys fees. If Advertiser s contract is canceled due to Advertiser s failure to timely pay, Enquirer Media may rebill the Advertiser for the outstanding balance due at the open or earned contract rate, whichever is applicable. If any federal, state or local taxes are imposed on the printing of advertising material or on the sale of advertising space, such taxes shall be assumed and paid by Advertiser. The advertiser s contract cannot be invalidated and the newspaper will not be liable for: (a) typographical errors, incorrect insertions or omissions in advertising published by the newspaper or (b) any resulting losses. Advertiser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Enquirer Media from all claims (whether valid or invalid), suits, judgments, proceedings, losses, damages, costs and expenses, of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys fees) for which Enquirer Media or any of its affiliates may become liable by reason of Enquirer Media s publication of Advertiser s advertising. When orders are forwarded by Advertiser or its Agency which contain incorrect rates or conditions, the advertising called for will be inserted and charged at the correct rate in force governing such advertising as provided for in Enquirer Media s rate schedule, and in accordance with the conditions contained in Advertiser s contract.

It is further agreed that Enquirer Media does not accept advertising orders or space reservations claiming sequential liability. The closing time for cancellations is 2 working days prior to the scheduled publication date for black and white material and 5 working days prior to the scheduled publication date for color material. Cancellations will not be accepted after the applicable closing time.
