Suggested Retail Pricing

The Suggested Retail Pricing Policy of Metagenics, Inc. is for all of its customers selling its professional lines of products on-line to sell such products at or above the suggested retail prices. Any advertisements, discounts, rewards programs, coupons, special offers, sales, promotions, etc. must explicitly state "Not valid on Metagenics' (and BariatrX Essentials) products" and products must check-out at or above suggested retail pricing. Private patients being treated by the practitioner may be given a private patient code to be entered upon checkout to replicate the discount provided to patients in the practitioner's office. This code must not be provided to any customer via broadcast e-mail, must not be shown on the Web site and must not be made available to anyone other than the practitioners' private patients. Reference upon checkout may only be as "patient code"; i.e., any word implying a discount, special, sale, coupon, etc. may not be used.

If a practitioner is found to have e-mailed the code to an e-mail database that includes customers other than private patients, the option to discount to private patients via an online Web site will be revoked. Continued or repeated violations will result in account termination.

Metagenics neither seeks nor will accept any assurances from any customer that it will not deviate from this Suggested Retail Pricing Policy. The suggested retail prices set forth are unilaterally set by Metagenics and are not open to discussion or negotiation with any of its customers.

Metagenics reserves the right not to sell or supply any products to any customer that is affiliated with a Web site that violates this Suggested Retail Pricing Policy. Any reference or inference at all to discounts, price reductions, special call-in pricing, coupons, price-matching policies or any other special promotion or offer on Metagenics products will be deemed to be violations of this policy and grounds for immediate suspension of affiliated Customer's account(s),

For customers with Meta-eHealth sites, discounts may be visible only to patients. Visitors who self-register must be provided access only to Metagenics products at Suggested Retail Price. This is in keeping with the availability of discounts which may be offered in practitioners' offices but not available to the general public via the Internet. In other words, Metagenics does not consider it a violation of its policy for practitioners to provide discounts through Meta-eHealth to patients but not if discount visibility is open to non-patients.
