CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 1.0 Introduction Cree is united with its agents, distributors and upgrade partners in the pursuit of a common goal to deliver beautiful LED light while slashing energy and maintenance costs associated with traditional incandescent bulbs and without the toxic mercury found in fluorescents. Cree provides unparalleled innovation and proven technology with LED lighting. The value of LED lighting is already being realized with installations around the world. Working with Cree enables access to market-leading products and technology, a commitment to future innovation and most importantly, the assurance that Cree products have been tested and refined to perform as advertised. That s why Cree is leading the LED lighting revolution. Cree is proud to work with companies who share our values. Cree has developed a set of logos designed to help our authorized agents, distributors and upgrade partners to leverage the success of Cree with your own company identity. The examples and standards outlined in this guide are designed to ensure the Cree brand is clearly and consistently represented, while also ensuring that your organization is the main interface for your customers. While it is beneficial to your organization, to Cree and to your customers to show your relationship with Cree, your identity should be the most prominent. These guidelines cover only Cree-specific elements that reference our particular relationships and initiatives. You must always use your company s proprietary design when creating your communications materials. 1.1 Corporate marketing contacts If you have any questions about the content in this guide or proper usage of Cree Authorized logos, please contact lightingmarketing@cree.com. VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 1

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 2.0 Cree Authorized logos Cree Authorized logos represent an unwavering dedication to innovation, to delivery of the industry s highest performing products and to a no-compromise approach to efficiency and quality of light. Proper use of Cree Authorized logos is used to leverage the benefits of Cree s innovative technology and components in the marketplace. Co-branding logos appear as the Cree logo in a defined format with an associated mark used to distinguish them in the market. VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 2

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 2.1 Use of Cree Authorized logos by third parties Cree Authorized logos may be used by a third party only if the third party has a signed Co-Branding and Trademark License Agreement with Cree. All uses of Cree Authorized logos and related word marks for purposes of branding by third parties must be in accordance with the provisions of the Trademark License Agreement and this Guide. The purpose of these requirements is to maintain the integrity of the marks and strengthen the brand. Any non-compliant use of the word marks or logos erode the value of Cree as a brand. Cree offers three Cree Authorized logos. Your relationship and signed agreements with Cree will determine the correct logo for your use. The logo you need is provided in the logo package you will receive upon execution of the signed agreement. Use only the Cree Authorized logo art files provided by Cree to ensure proper reproduction. When using the Cree Authorized logos, third parties must use camera-ready art or approved computer graphic files supplied by Cree and may not generate the logo independently. Guidelines on proper file formats are provided in section 4.4. VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 3

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 2.2 Cree Authorized logo misuse Cree monitors the use of Cree Authorized logos very closely. Cree has the right to exercise all rights and remedies for violations of the requirements for use of Cree Authorized logos set forth in this Guide and any associated License Agreement. Typically, the general course of action for violating the requirements for use of Cree Authorized logos will be as follows: 1. Those who violate the guidelines will receive a call or written notice of the specific violation. 2. They must advise Cree in a determined or set timeframe of a course of action for correction of the mark violation. 3. Cree will follow up with them to ensure that the mistake/violation has been corrected. Further misuse or blatant disregard for the mark guidelines and rules may result in loss of rights to Cree Authorized logos as well as Cree s exercise of other available rights and remedies. If you have any questions regarding the use of Cree Authorized logos, please contact lightingmarketing@cree.com. 2.3 Cree master logo The Cree master logo is reserved exclusively for use by Cree. However, you may use the Cree master logo on your website if the logo usage has a clear association with the product and no association with your company logos or product. See the example provided in Section 2.3.1. Additional exceptions may be considered on a case-bycase basis. If you would like to pursue permission to use the Cree master logo, please contact lightingmarketing@cree.com. VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 4

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 2.3.1 Cree solid logo for very small and digital use In very small applications (less than 25.5mm) and some digital applications, such as product identification on websites, it is recommended that the solid Cree logo be used. The express written consent of Cree corporate marketing is needed for you to use the solid Cree logo. Cree will supply computer graphic files and camera-ready artwork of the Cree solid logo. Do not generate the Cree solid logo on your own.

The logo is available from: branding@cree.com VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 5

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 3.0 Use of the Cree Authorized trademarks Proper usage of the Cree Authorized trademarks identifies our products and services as technologically superior and market-leading and identifies you as an authorized agent, distributor or upgrade partner for those products and services. The Cree Authorized trademarks can only be used by authorized Cree agents, distributors and upgrade partners who have signed the appropriate Trademark License Agreement with Cree. For information on licensing and trademark usage, please contact trademarks@cree.com. 3.1 Trademark symbol Use the correct trademark symbol. Cree is a registered trademark of Cree, Inc. and must display the after the first occurrence of the mark when used in text. The symbol will always be superscript with no space between it and the mark Cree. For example: Cree Authorized Agent Cree Authorized Distributor Cree Authorized Upgrade Partner VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 6

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 3.1.1 When is the symbol required? Preferred usage: Use the symbol with the first use of the word mark Cree as an adjective. Considerations: Trademarks need to only be marked once, per contiguous document. The attribution statement can appear on the last page, back cover or other location that complements the design. The symbol should be used as a superscript, but DOES NOT need to be the same font size/family as the copy. It can be made smaller, to increase aesthetic appeal, as long as it is still legible. 3.1.2 Trademark attribution Use a trademark attribution statement at the bottom of any documentation containing the logos including language consistent with the following example: Cree is a registered trademark and the Cree Authorized Agent logo is a trademark of Cree, Inc. Alternative 1 If the preferred usage as indicated in Section 3.1.1 above is not desirable because of spacing limitations or other aesthetic issues, then the symbol can be used on the word mark adjective anywhere in the text, along with an appropriate trademark attribution statement at the bottom of the document. Alternative 2 For truly space-constrained applications such as small premiums or web banners ads, it is permissible to omit the trademark attribution statement at the bottom of the document and to use the symbol on a word mark that is used as an adjective. VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 7

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 3.2 Proper usage of the Cree Authorized phrases in text Do not vary the spelling or capitalization, add hyphens, make one word two or use a plural form of the Cree Authorized Agent, Cree Authorized Distributor or Cree Authorized Upgrade Partner phrases. There is only one correct usage of the phrases and that is Cree Authorized Agent, Cree Authorized Distributor or Cree Authorized Upgrade Partner. Cree Authorized Agent Cree Authorized Distributor Cree Authorized Upgrade Partner The phrases should always be capitalized as shown here. If the usage of the word mark Cree in the Cree Authorized phrases is the first and/or only usage of the word mark in text, then the symbol should be used with the mark consistent with the guidelines provided in Sections 3.1 and 3.1.1. Do not hyphenate or place an extra space anywhere in the phrases. For example: Cree Authorized Agent should never be Cree-Authorized Agent. Do not use Authorized Agent, Authorized Distributor or Authorized Upgrade Partner by themselves. Do not shorten or make acronyms out of the Cree Authorized Agent, Cree Authorized Distributor or Cree Authorized Upgrade Partner phrases. Do not display Cree Authorized logos or related Cree Authorized phrases in a manner that is illegible or difficult to read. On materials that include both Cree Authorized logos and your company name, you must display your company name more prominently than the Cree Authorized logos. Do not use Cree Authorized logos or the related phrases in a manner such that they appear to be associated with products of other manufacturers. VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 8

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 3.3 Exceptions With the express written consent of an authorized representative of Cree, other attributions may be used. If you have any questions regarding the use of the Cree Authorized logos, please contact lightingmarketing@cree.com. 4.0 Presentation of Cree Authorized logos 4.1 Color The Cree Authorized logos appear in Cree Blue as defined below: Pantone: 294 RGB: 0, 85, 150 Hex: #005596 CMYK: C 100, M 58, Y 0, K 21 VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 9

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 4.2 Examples of correct color usage The Cree Authorized logos can appear in three color formats: Cree Blue (PMS 294), solid black or a solid white, knockout version. Cree Authorized logos can only appear on a white, black or Cree Blue (PMS 294) background. No other colors or combinations are permitted without the express written consent of an authorized Cree corporate marketing representative.

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED S 4.4 Logo file formats Cree Authorized logos are provided in these file formats: EPS, JPEG, PNG and GIF. Following are some recommended guidelines designed to help you select the right file format for your particular application. 4.4.1 EPS format EPS format is applicable for high-quality print and reproduction applications and may be scaled to any size without sacrificing image quality.
