15. Notice of Minimum Advertised Price Policy. Litehouse maintains a Minimum Advertised Price Policy
that applies to all of its branded products. This section is intended to only give notice of the policy to all

Minimum Advertised Price Policy is a unilateral policy and not subject to agreement by Authorized
Resellers.
