WHEREAS, This Agreement is intended to set forth the terms and conditions
applicable to the order, shipment and delivery of certain equipment by Vendor to

authorized dealer to provide for the Marketing and sale of Vendor Services and
the sale or lease of Equipment through Dealer's Sales Channels in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Service Addendum
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "SSA").
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning
ascribed to such terms in the SSA. To the extent of any inconsistency between
the terms of this Agreement and those in the SSA related to the marketing and
sale of Vendor Services, the terms of the SSA shall control. The designated
affiliates will include Best Buy Stores, L.P., and BestBuy.com, Inc., or as
updated from time to time upon notice to and consent of Vendor ("Affiliates").

States (and its territories) or other geographic areas as mutually agreed in a
writing signed by Vendor and Dealer from time to time through Dealer's Sales
Channels and Selected Dealer Stores all in accordance with the SSA.
2. PRICING AND TAXES
2.1 Prices. Vendor will sell the Products to Dealer at the prices then in effect
on its current price list, as may be changed from time to time, or as otherwise
agreed between the parties. [***] Vendor's prices do not include sales, use,
excise, or similar taxes.
2.2 Taxes. The amount of any valid present or future sales, use, excise, or
other similar tax that is attributable to purchase or delivery of the Products
will be paid by Dealer; or in lieu thereof, Dealer will provide Vendor with a
tax exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities.
2.3 No Minimum Purchase Requirement. Dealer shall have no obligation or
liability to purchase or distribute all or any particular volume of any type of
Products or parts from the Vendor; and (ii) Dealer does not guarantee, and is

revenues, or excess inventory, if Dealer's distribution of the Products does not
meet the Vendor's expectations.
3. PURCHASE ORDERS
Orders for Vendor's Products will be initiated by Dealer no later than ten (10)
days before the shipment date by electronic purchase orders submitted by Dealer
and will govern the shipment and delivery of Products upon acceptance by Vendor,
provided that Dealer reserves the right to cancel a purchase order at any time
prior to the shipment date. Vendor will be deemed to have accepted a purchase
order if Vendor fails to reject the purchase order by notifying Dealer within
forty-eight (48) hours of its receipt thereof, not including weekends and
nationally recognized holidays. Dealer will use commercially reasonable efforts
to provide Vendor with periodic forecasts of Dealer's anticipated inventory
requirements for Product.

[*** Confidential Treatment Requested]
6.2 Notice of Price Increases. Except as otherwise agreed, Vendor will give
Dealer ninety (90) days prior written notice to Dealer of the effective date of
any price increases. A price increase will not affect Dealer's cost on a
purchase order accepted by Vendor prior to the effective date of such price
increase.
7. RETURNS
7.1 Return Rights. Dealer will have the right to return for full credit or
refund of Dealer's cost any Products (a) against which an allegation is made
that the use of such Products infringes on any patent, trademark, trade secret,
copyright, right of privacy or publicity, or any other tangible or intangible
proprietary or intellectual property right; (b) that are not manufactured,
packaged, or labeled in accordance with industry standards and/or all applicable
laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations; (c) that are shipped in error or in
non-conformance with Dealer's purchase order; (d) that have caused injury to
person or property; and (e) that are damaged or Defective. Returned Products
will be shipped FOB Origin, Freight Collect from Dealer's product return center,
distribution center or stores, as the case may be.
7.2 Defective Products. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Defective" Product
means any Product that is visually or operationally defective and Product that
has been returned by a customer in accordance with Dealer's end-user return
policy. Dealer's end-user return policy allows for the return of most Products
with or without cause for a specified period after purchase, regardless of
whether the Product packaging has been opened or whether the Product is actually
defective. Dealer will promptly notify Vendor upon Dealer's discovery of any
Defective Product.
7.3 Return Procedures. If a Vendor Return Authorization is first required by
either party prior to Dealer's return of Product to Vendor, Vendor agrees to
provide a unique Return Authorization number to Dealer within forty-eight (48)
hours of Dealer's request. Vendor will allow delivery of return Product as of
the day the Return Authorization is issued to Dealer. If Vendor requires that
Dealer make an appointment to deliver returned Product, such appointment will be
provided by Vendor within three (3) days of the carrier's expected arrival time.
Upon shipment of the return Product to Vendor, Dealer will send a Return Goods
Memo (debit memo) to Vendor that references the corresponding Return
Authorization number, if any, along with quantity and dollar amounts on a per
unit basis. Dealer may thereafter deduct the total dollar amount of the return
Product from Vendor's invoice. Vendor agrees to send a credit memo to Dealer for
the amount specified in the Return Goods Memo within ninety (90) days of the
date of Dealer's deduction. Such credit memo will reference either Dealer's
Return Goods Memo number or the Return Authorization number. Product returned to
Vendor will be delivered in their original, undamaged containers, provided that
Vendor will not consider a container with a removed UPC to be damaged for
purposes of calculating the return credit if such UPC was removed by an end-user
in connection with a Vendor-sponsored rebate offer. In the event Dealer
rightfully requests a return of Products under this Agreement and Vendor fails
to timely provide a Return Authorization or accept delivery thereof, Dealer may
take any action in its sole and reasonable discretion at Vendor's expense, which
may include but is not limited to storage, liquidation or destruction of the
Products. If Vendor receives Product from Dealer that Vendor believes is
non-returnable, Vendor will return such Product to Dealer's originating Product
returns location within ninety (90) days of Vendor's determination and the
shipment cartons will reference the original return shipment's Return
Authorization number or Return Goods Memo number.
7.4 Additional Return Rights. Additional or different return rights may be
specified in a Vendor Program Agreement (e.g., stock-balancing, defective
allowances) as further described in Section 10. If the parties agree to a
defective allowance, such allowance will replace Dealer's right to return
Defective Products as provided herein, except that if the actual defective rate
for a particular Product exceeds the applicable allowance, Dealer may either
adjust the allowance accordingly or return the excess Defective Product to
Vendor for full credit or refund. A defective allowance will have no effect upon
Dealer's return rights as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
7.5 Warranty Returns; Appointment of Authorized Return Center. Vendor appoints
Dealer as an "Authorized Return Center" for the return by end-users of those
Products under a manufacturer's warranty. Except as may otherwise be agreed in a
comprehensive Product Service Agreement, which will be an addendum hereto as
further described in Section 11, Dealer will (a) receive the in-warranty Product
from the end-user, (b) provide the end-user with an in-store credit ("In-Store
Credit"), and (c) send the end-user's defective Product to Vendor after
receiving Vendor's return authorization, if required. The appointment of Dealer
as an Authorized Return Center is non-exclusive and will include all present and
future Dealer locations which Dealer designates to accept the Product returns.
This appointment of Dealer as an Authorized Return Center will survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to satisfy
end-user warranty requests.
8. DISCONTINUED PRODUCT. The parties agree and acknowledge that this Section 8
is applicable only to Products purchased by Dealer from Vendor.
A "Discontinued Product" means any Product that Vendor has stopped manufacturing
or any Product that undergoes a material change in appearance or packaging.
Vendor agrees to provide Dealer with at least ninety (90) days advance written
notice of the occurrence of a Discontinued Product, or as soon as possible in
the event that the discontinuance is caused by actions taken by a component part
supplier of Vendor. Upon notice of such Discontinued Product, Dealer may,
without penalty or liability, cancel any outstanding purchase orders pertaining
to the Discontinued Product. With respect to Dealer's existing inventory of
Discontinued Product, Dealer may, in its sole discretion, either return such
Discontinued Product at any time to Vendor for full credit or refund, or Vendor
and Dealer will negotiate a cost markdown of such existing inventory.
