EXHIBIT A
Media/Device Data Sanitization Standards - SmartBuysOnly

This Exhibit A is attached to and incorporated within the Agreement.

Media/Device Data Sanitization Standards - SmartBuysOnly
Purpose

SmartBuysOnly has several businesses and capabilities that require the handling of media and/or devices which may contain data. As it relates to these standards, data is defined as any personally identifiable information (e.g., data that can be tied to a specific individual) about a customer or information owned or created by a customer (e.g., photos, videos, movies, documents) and subsequently stored on a product, device or the media contained therein.

This data is valuable to the person to which it belongs and therefore there are inherent risks in handling these units and inadvertently exposing or sharing this information with someone other than the owner of the data.

Standard

Prior to transfer, disposal, refurbishing, recycling, resale or any other disposition, all devices capable of data storage and/or storage media of any kind must be subjected by you to a process where the data is removed from the device (or made inaccessible) whereby it is immune to attack and incapable of being recovered by commercially available tool sets ("sanitized").

Without limiting the foregoing, you will use the sanitization methods defined in the following table with respect to each specific device type identified. Variation from the prescribed sanitization method is permitted only upon written approval by SmartBuysOnly.
