                Circuit City Stores, Inc. will return all defective and customer
                returned product at Directed's expense, for at least [***] by
                either company. Customer returns of product during the warranty
                period will be considered initial defect and will be returned
                for full credit. In the event that returns exceed account
                balance, Directed will issue Circuit City Stores, Inc. a check

                for reasons of dissatisfaction with performance will be
                considered defective and returned for credit. Circuit City
                Stores, Inc. will make every effort to determine what the defect
                is at the point of customer return, acknowledging the fact that
                the customer service representatives in our stores are not
                technicians. In the event Circuit City Stores, Inc. is ever in a
                debit balance with Directed, Directed agrees to provide Circuit
                City Stores, Inc. a check for any debit balance or return
                shipment of defective product. Circuit City Stores, Inc. will
                not send product to Directed for repair and return. All initial
                defects will be returnable for credit. All return shipments will
                be sent freight collect. Original box and packaging is
                requested, not required.

                Catastrophic Failure:

                Circuit City may from time to time, inspect and determine true
                defects vs. consumer returns. Any breach in material or
                workmanship (true fault/defect) causing product failure
                exceeding [***]% of any shipment or production lot that is of
                the same nature will be considered a catastrophic failure of the
                Product (Catastrophic Failure). In the event of a Catastrophic
                Failure of Product occurring after the Product has been
                delivered to Circuit City, Directed shall work in good faith
                with Circuit City to replace, rework to original specifications,
                or reimburse at full purchase price or at Circuit City actual
                repair cost any defective Product returned to or recalled by

                its inventories accordingly. Directed further commits that it
                will continue to provide Circuit City Stores, Inc. with the
                lowest possible pricing relative to their volume and
                competition, and to maintain Circuit City's competitive position
                if Directed lowers its selling prices on the same or similar
                merchandise.

8 - [***]:

                Directed will provide Circuit City Stores, Inc. with the ability
                to return any [***] on the following basis. Circuit City agrees
                to place offsetting orders for other product equal in total
                value to the product being returned. Circuit City will determine
                the number of units they plan to return and their extended value
                and will request RMA tracking numbers for these returns on an
                agreed to schedule. All of the items will be unopened packages

                returned, Directed will issue a credit within 3 days. (Any
                adjustments to the credit determined after detail review of the
