SPRINT NORTH SUPPLY/SONY DEALER PRICING
Sprint North Supply (SNS) will offer the Authorized Dealers for Sony's
Videoconferencing products a three (3) tier pricing model. The discounts,
services, and benefits for each of the three tiers will be based on attaining
specific revenue objectives set out in their contracts. It is our intent to
build a dealer program that rewards dealers based on their performance. In this
manner they will not be required to commit to a specific dollar volume or unit
level, rather they will be rewarded for achieving specific revenue goals.
Our stairstep pricing strategy will consist of three levels; A, B, & C:
LEVEL C
The "C" level dealers will receive a 30% discount on all schedule A items, a 30%
discount on object cameras, and a 20% discount on schedule B items. They will
purchase demo and evaluation units at a 38% discount on schedule A and 30% on
schedule B.
LEVEL B
The "B" level dealers will receive a 33% discount on all schedule A items, a 30%
discount on Object Cameras, and a 20% discount on schedule B items. They will
purchase demo and evaluation units at a 38% discount on schedule A and 30% on
schedule B. To reach this level the dealer must sell $425,000.00 of Sony
Videoconferencing equipment. Upon reaching this level SNS will rebate to the
dealer 3% on all purchases (of schedule A purchases) up to that point and all
future purchases will be at 33%.
LEVEL A
The "A" level dealers will receive a 35% discount on all schedule A items, a 30%
discount on Object Cameras, and 20% discount on schedule B items. They will
purchase demo and evaluation units at a 40% discount on schedule A and 30% on
schedule B. To reach this level the dealer must sell $1,000,000 of Sony
Videoconferencing equipment. Upon reaching this level SNS will rebate to the
dealer 2% on all purchases (of Schedule A purchases) up to that point and all
future purchases will be at 35%. The 2% rebate is in addition to the previous
rebate of 3%, and includes all demo and evaluation systems.
In addition to the performance levels specific services and benefits will be
tied to each of the above groups. Co-op funds, SPIF's, advertisements, lead
referrals, etc...., will all increase as the dealer attains greater sales
volume.
The program will start all dealers off at the "C" level and only through
achieving the sales bar for the next level will the dealer be moved to the next
discount level. The only allowance will be that a percentage of the targets of
$425K and $1.0MM can be retired through the purchase of select video peripheral
products from SNS (e.g. ADTRAN, ASCEND, Madge/Teleos, SPG.....). In this way a
dealer may achieve the next higher discount platform quicker. A 10% level of
$42,000, of the "B" level goal can be retired in this manner and 15% or
$150,000, of the "A" level. Authorized products are listed on the next page.

SCHEDULE B 30% 30% 30%
notes:
1. Level "B" requirement $425,000/yr. equals 3% rebate and discount adjustment.
2. Level "A" requirement $1,000,000/yr. equals additional 2% rebate and discount
adjustment.
3. The minimum annual volume required to remain a dealer is $225,000.00 per
year.
4. SNS pays freight on all shipments.
5. The targets for each level are for a 12 month period. At the end of each 12
months dealers will drop back one level (e.g. "A" level dealers will revert
to "B" and a 33% discount, upon reaching $1.0MM they will again receive
rebates and discounts to 35%).
6. The rebates (true-ups) at each level will be on SONY schedule a purchases
only!

SPRINT NORTH SUPPLY/SONY DEALER PRICING
SAMPLE DEALER EXPLANATION.
V-Video Co., of Big City, Idaho, became a Sony Videoconferencing dealer and
signed their Agreement on September 30, 1996. As a new dealer V-Video starts
purchasing at the "C" level price, and issues a PO for two (2) demo units as
required by contract. After receiving training and fulfilling other obligations
V-Video begins to sell (with some success) Sony equipment. By January 30, 1997,
they have reached the first discount level of $425,000.00 SNS credits V-Video's
account for $12,500.00 or approximately 3% of their Sony sales year to date. In
addition V-Video moves to the "B" price level and now purchases at the B level
discounts.
With their added incentive and several strong successes under their belts, the
sales and marketing personnel at V-Video launch in to 1997 with a new found love
of video. The success of the past are built upon and by June 30, 1997, V-Video
reaches the $1.0MM sales mark. By achieving this incredible level of sales SNS
rebates an additional 2% of their purchases or $20,000.00. V-Video's owners are
ecstatic and reward their sales with $1,000.00 bonus checks and free lunch. In
addition to the rebate they also move along to the "A" price level and now
purchase at a 35% discount.
V-Video continues to build a consistent run rate over the next several months.
On the anniversary of the original contract (September 30, 1996) the SNS FSE
sits down with V-Video's owners and discusses their progress, if they have
achieved the minimum requirement of $225,000. and therefore qualify for contract
renewal. In addition they have achieved the highest volume discount in the first
year (12 months).
Additionally, we are rewarding performers with competitive advantage on price
and in marketing as they will receive the benefit of both Sony's and SOS's
strongest efforts.
