AUDIO DYNAMICS appoints RETAILER and RETAILER agrees to serve as a non-exclusive retail RETAILER, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement at the location(s) above and/or additional locations set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement (“RETAILER Locations”) for AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products. RETAILER agrees to maintain, at all times, during the term of this Agreement, a retail store for the sale of AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products at each RETAILER location, and RETAILER agrees to promote and sell AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products within the market area immediately surrounding each such location to the best of the RETAILER’s ability. No other RETAILER Location(s) may be added without the prior written consent of AUDIO DYNAMICS. To request such consent, RETAILER shall submit a statement to AUDIO DYNAMICS setting forth the following information with regard to each proposed RETAILER Location: store name and address, managerial responsibility to be exercised by RETAILER, names of all persons holding ownership interests, and the type and percentage of ownership interests held by each such person.

2) RETAILER Location:

AUDIO DYNAMICS and RETAILER recognize that it is in their mutual best interest that AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products be sold through a selective RETAILER network whereby all RETAILERS selling AUDIO DYNAMICS products have the ability to provide those services to the public which AUDIO DYNAMICS requires, and that if the AUDIO DYNAMICS products are offered only through a planned number of outlets, RETAILER will be able to offer the maximum consumer value and services with respect to AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products, thereby enabling RETAILER to compete more effectively against RETAILERS selling competitive products. Accordingly, RETAILER agrees not to offer AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products for sale at any location other than those set forth herein and/or on Schedule A to this Agreement unless approved in advance by AUDIO DYNAMICS in writing. RETAILER also agrees not to sell and/or transship AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products to others for resale without having obtained AUDIO DYNAMICS’s advance written consent.

RETAILER shall not sell or otherwise transfer AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products to any person or entity located outside the United States, for resale without prior written consent of AUDIO DYNAMICS.

5) Terms of Sale:

All sales are subject to the other terms and conditions of sale established by AUDIO DYNAMICS and in effect at the time of shipment. The RETAILER shall pay for all products in accordance with the invoice terms.

6) Obligation to Promote Product Sales:

RETAILER shall use its best efforts to stimulate interest in and to sell AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products to retail consumers. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the RETAILER shall: (a) acquire and maintain adequate facilities, display, and demonstration areas to personally explain and demonstrate the features of AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products to each indi vidual retail consumer; (b) maintain a representative inventory of models and styles of each of AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products in quantities sufficient to meet reasonably anticipated sales during a period of not less than one month; (c) to personally instruct each individual retail consumer with regard to the proper installation, operation, maintenance, and care of AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products; (d) prominently display all advertising and promotional materials provided by AUDIO DYNAMICS in connection with all promotional programs and sales training programs offered by AUDIO DYNAMICS; and (e) at no time make false, misleading, or disparaging representations regarding AUDIO DYNAMICS or any AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products.

7) Advertising:

Unless otherwise authorized by AUDIO DYNAMICS in advance, RETAILER shall use AUDIO DYNAMICS’s name, trademarks, trade names, and copyrighted materials only for the purposes of advertising and promoting sales of AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products, and shall not use any such name or materials in any advertising or other communications which is damaging to AUDIO DYNAMICS, or in any unlawful manner, or in any way which tends directly or indirectly to lessen the value and goodwill of the AUDIO DYNAMICS brand or products or in connection with the sale of another product or group of products not manufactured by AUDIO DYNAMICS, whether or not components made by AUDIO DYNAMICS are in such group, without specifically stating which components are AUDIO DYNAMICS products provided nothing herein shall transfer to RETAILER any interest or ownership in any such name, trademark, trade name, or copyright, or in any patent application, patent right, or license in or to any of said products and provided further RETAILER’s right to use such materials and names shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement. RETAILER shall not advertise or engage in promotional activities concerning AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products unless RETAILER has in stock a sufficient supply of the advertised product or products to meet anticipated demand. Failure to comply with this requirement shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement by AUDIO DYNAMICS.

8) MAP (Minimum Advertised Price):

AUDIO DYNAMICS in no way intends to dictate the actual selling price of AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products. AUDIO DYNAMICS does, however, desire to establish a high perceived value for AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products. Accordingly, RETAILER and AUDIO DYNAMICS agree that RETAILER shall not advertise for sale any products for less than the “Direct Price” from AUDIO DYNAMICS’s website, www.adcaraudio.com. “Direct Price” shall be defined as the Internet Price then in effect as described in the then current RETAILER Price Sheet. From time to time AUDIO DYNAMICS may offer additional discounts on products. Any adjustment to “Direct Price”, related or unrelated to such discount, will be specified in writing and will be supplied to the RETAILER in advance. In all cases the most recent “Direct Price” specifications will apply. The phrase “ shall not advertise for sale” as it relates to “Direct Price” shall be construed to mean, the RETAILER will not advertise in any media, TV, radio, newsprint, direct mail, billboard, or on RETAILER’s demonstration board or other in store media, AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products for sale at any price below the then current Internet Price. RETAILERS advertising AUDIO DYNAMICS brand products below Internet Price (Direct Price) as described above shall be considered in breach of MAP terms and will be subject to immediate termination.
