Flatline Van Co.

There’s a pretty good chance you might see one of our rigs parked at Mt. Hood Meadows on a powder day, or camped out on the sand at the Oregon Coast. We started Flatline Van Co. because we have a passion for the outdoors and adventure vans allow us to spend more time doing what we love. To us, this isn’t just a business, it’s our lifestyle.

MINIMUM ADVERTISED PRICING POLICY

Updated 12/28/2022

Horsepower Automotive, a limited liability company doing business under the brands Addictive Desert Designs, DV8 Offroad, & Rago
Fabrication, has adopted the policies described below (collectively, the “Policies”), effective January 1, 2022, for the advertising,
marketing, and reselling of Horsepower Automotive branded products to customers in the United States by Horsepower Automotive’s
warehouse distributors, jobbers, dealers, and other downstream resellers (collectively, “Customers”). Horsepower Automotive greatly
values the efforts of all Customers to distribute Horsepower Automotive products and support our brand. This MAP Policy has been
adopted for the benefit of all Customers and will be uniformly enforced.

This MAP Policy is designated for all “active” part numbers, as listed on the Horsepower Automotive data file, available from SEMA Data,

them.

Adherence to our MAP Policy is important for the success of all concerned. Not only does it protect the value of our brands, but it
protects the margins for all resellers and ensures fair competition across all distribution channels.
