    EDURES

    As a ViSalus Independent Promoter, I agree to uphold the integrity ofthe Company. I will be honest and fair in all of my dealings while actingas an Independent Promoter of ViSalus.

    I will perform all of my professional activities in a manner that will

    enhance my personal reputation, as well as uphold the positivereputation established by ViSalus.

    I will be respectful to every person contacted in the course of my ViSalusbusiness. I understand that any harassment or improper treatment of

    individuals can be grounds for the deactivation of my Promotership.

    I will fulfill my leadership responsibilities as a sponsor, including thetraining and support of the Promoters in my organization.

    I will not misrepresent ViSalus products or compensation plan, nor will Iengage in any other deceptive or illegal practice while representing ViSalus.

    I will make only such claims for the products that are proven and are

    approved by the Company.

    I will conduct my independent ViSalus business in such a manner as torespect the products and professionalism of other companies.

    I realize that network marketing is an exciting way of bringing a vast arrayof products and ser vices to the marketplace, and that ViSalus seeks to

    further the cause of personal independence and true financial freedom.

    I will remember, at all times, that only through service, to both Customersand Promoters, will real success truly manifest.

    online retail store sales. (See thfollowing section on Online Stor

    and Retail Sales).

    VIII. ONLINE STORES AND

    RETAIL SALES

    ViSalus maintains a comprehenssuite of web services and tools t

    support its VIPs in their individuabusinesses. These are more tha

    enough to support any VIP andany organization in leveragingonline retail sales as a tool to

    promote the brand, the productsand the opportunity. However, V

    are independent businesspersoand some may choose to host a

    maintain their own websites thaare wholly or partially devotedto generating retail sales. Even

    a personally maintained landingpage is linked to the ViSalus

    back office in order to completetransactions, it is still considered

    personally-hosted website and isubject to this section.

    ViSalus requires advanceregistration of these proposed

    websites or web pages. TheVIP Retail Website Certification

    Application is available onrequest from the ComplianceDepartment, or it may be submitt

    on-line at policies.vi.com. On receof a completed Registration Form

    ViSalus will provide guidelinesfor the proper construction and

    operation of the site in order toensure full compliance with the

    Policies & Procedures. ViSalus wilthen review the site pre-launch an

    if it is deemed to be satisfactory,ViSalus will issue a Letter ofCertification. There will be a

    registration fee of $2,500.00 andan annual audit fee $500.00.

    the Compliance Departmentimmediately to complete this

    process retroactively. Those whodo not will eventually be contacted

    and required to do so.

    IX. ONLINE MARKETS,AUCTIONING ANDSOCIAL MEDIA

    Appearance of Corporate

    Sponsorship and/orEndorsement:

    It is strictly prohibited for VIPs to

    create marketing materials thatmay be mistakenly perceived to

    be created by ViSalus Corporate.ViSalus Independent Promoter

    should be prominently displayed,on all Online Markets, Auctionand Social Media pages so as to

    avoid any confusion of Corporatesponsorship or endorsement.

    Any use of ViSalus trademarks,

    logos, etc. without approval is alsoprohibited on social media pages.

    Online Auction Sites and

    Internet Malls:

    Online auction sites, most notablyeBay, can be valuable tools

    for building and promoting theViSalus business. However, they

    can also be terribly damagingto the brand and the opportunity

    because they are often-viewed asa place to dump cheap, flawedor unsatisfactory goods. In the

    public eye, a key indication ofquality issues is a willingness to

    sell at a discount and needless tosay, discounting occurs as a matterof routine on eBay. Even if quality

    is not called into question, thesesales can generate severe issues

    between VIPs as retail customersare drawn away from the VIPs who

    actually cultivated them.

    In light of the foregoing, and in

    order to preserve and protectViSalus brand and businessreputation for high quality and

    service, ViSalus will only permitsales on eBay (or any other

    auction site) at the SuggestedRetail Price along with applicable

    shipping & handling fees (free

    shipping & handling is prohibited).

    In addition, any VIP who liststhe products on eBay or another

    auction site must include his orher ID# on the page where the

    products are being promoted soas to ensure that our sales arecompletely transparent and give

    no indication that we do not standby our products both as individuals

    and as a company.

    Some Internet sites or malls, suchas Amazon, are not necessarilydevoted to the auctioning of

    products, but may neverthelessbecome problematic for the

    reasons set forth above and forother reasons. ViSalus reserves

    the right, in its sole and absolutediscretion, to require that VIPsdiscontinue or alter their usage of

    such sites when it is our belief thatusage is damaging the ViSalus

    brand or our business reputation.

    Failure to comply with theforegoing will result in seriousdisciplinary action up to and

    including deactivation of positions.

    Social Media Sites:

    Social media is a large part of the

    ViSalus culture, and VIPs shouldpromote their business accordingly.

    Prohibited practices are any socialmedia pages, links, blogs, etc.

    where the page is attempting toappear like a ViSalus corporate-sponsored page. Social media

    sites include but are not limitedto: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,

    Myspace, BranchOut, Spoke, etc.
