RESELLER shall make no warranties, representations, or guarantees to any person with respect to PARASOUND Products, except as provided or approved in writing by PARASOUND; provided, however, that the preceding restriction is not intended to prevent RESELLER from providing its customers with warranties or guaranties above and beyond those of PARASOUND so long as it is clear that such additional warranties or guaranties are binding solely upon RESELLER and do not in any way purport to bind PARASOUND or DISTRIBUTOR. 17. This Agreement is strictly between RESELLER and DISTRIBUTOR, and does not bind, obligate, or restrict PARASOUND in any way. However, the parties expressly agree that PARASOUND is an intended third party beneficiary, and may take any action deemed necessary to enforce its interests under this Agreement. 18.

Should the Distributor Agreement between PARASOUND and DISTRIBUTOR be terminated, this Agreement shall automatically terminate concurrently therewith. Neither party, nor PARASOUND, shall be liable for damages of any kind or character whatsoever on account of termination as provided herein, but such termination shall not discharge already-accrued obligations. 20.

This Agreement is fully integrated, contains the parties' entire agreement on the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations, oral or written. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be contrary to law, all remaining portions shall be severed and unaffected thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect. Waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of or consent to any other breach.

6 Roomie Remote dba Simple Control Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy The following is Roomie Remote dba Simple Control, policy regarding the advertising of prices for all Roomie products (the Products ). You are free to decide whether to follow this policy. This policy does not constitute an agreement between you and Roomie, and Roomie is not seeking a response from you. 1. Purpose: Roomie s goal in enacting this policy is to avoid depreciation of, or damage to, its copyrighted works, including advertising, and to trademarks, brands, or trade names. Roomie s trademarks, brands, and trade names include, but are not limited to, the trade names Roomie Remote and Simple Control (the Roomie Trade Names ) and the trademarks and service marks Simple Control, as well as other common law trademarks and service marks that Roomie may from time to time adopt and use in connection with the sale or offering for sale of products or services (the Roomie Trademarks, collectively with the Roomie Trade Names, the Roomie IP ). 2. Minimum Advertised Pricing: For the purposes of this policy, the term advertising, when used in connection with Products utilizing the Roomie IP, shall include any price listing accessible to consumers directly, provided that advertising shall not include a price quotation sent directly to a consumer at the consumer s request. Roomie hereby advises each of its resellers that advertising Products utilizing the Roomie IP and using Roomie copyrighted materials (including photographs from the online photo library or Roomie-created product descriptions) at a price below the dealer or distributor suggested resale price, as applicable, as listed or published by Roomie in its most recent price list (the MAP ) may lead to depreciation of and serious damage to the Roomie IP. Therefore, Roomie will discontinue any business relationship with any reseller that engages in such practice. Roomie expects that Products will be advertised in print, on television or radio, or on the internet by its resellers at no less than the MAP and in compliance with this policy. This policy is nonnegotiable. Upon violation of the policy, Roomie will immediately cease Product shipment to the violating reseller. Probationary or suspension periods will not be permitted. 3. Online Resale: This policy applies uniformly to all resellers, including those that offer Products for sale on any online websites including, but not limited to, those owned, operated, and/or designed by or for the respective reseller. 4. Limitation of Policy: This policy relates to advertised prices. Without limiting any of the foregoing, no part of this policy is intended to affect resale prices or to require any reseller of the Products to resell the Products at the MAP. This policy thus governs only the advertised price, not the actual sales price. A reseller who chooses not to list a price may (i) state that the prices of the Products are the MSRP price or are too low to show, or (ii) otherwise invite consumers to inquire as to the price at which the Products are offered without violating this policy.

7 5. Changes in MAP and Products: All Products are subject to this policy. Roomie may at any time in its sole discretion revise the list of products subject to this policy and will provide notice of such revision to its resellers within a reasonable time. Roomie may at any time, in its sole discretion, revise the MAP for any Product. Each revision shall be effective at such time as is specified by Roomie in its pricing schedule, which will be provided to its resellers. Distributors are responsible for passing along this information to their reseller customers. Roomie s current price lists are also available to all resellers at Roomie s offices. 6. Discounts, Premiums: It will be a violation of this policy to advertise the giving of any article of value in connection with the sale of any Products or the making of any concession in connection with the sale of any such Products, which results in a sale by the reseller at net prices below MAP. 7. Price Reductions, Inventory Reductions, and Clearance: Roomie may exempt certain designated designs, models, and items from this policy for the purpose of inventory reduction and model closeouts. 8. Price in Cart: Prices listed on a reseller website are considered advertised prices and shall adhere to this policy. Once the pricing is associated with a manifest intent to purchase (i.e., the product is added to a shopping cart or equivalent intent to order is clear), the price is deemed the selling price and not an advertised price. Prices revealed by a shopper's simply scrolling over or clicking on the product short of manifesting an intent to purchase is deemed an advertised price and is subject to this policy. Statements such as add to cart to see price are not acceptable. 9. Discretion of Roomie: Roomie will make all decisions concerning this policy unilaterally. Nothing in this MAP policy is an agreement with any person regarding whether or not such person will comply with this policy. Please sign acknowledging that you did receive this document and return it to the address indicated on the you receive. Signature: Print Name: If you have any questions regarding this policy should contact Keith Pribyl at keith.pribyl@simplecontol.com.
