MyWebGrocer reserves the right to prohibit such sound if deemed too intrusive. Any audio over 1 second in length must be initiated by user interaction with appropriate text, icons or a similar indicator. Once initiated, there must be a clear way to turn off the sound with appropriate text, icons or a similar indicator. For streaming audio assets the client must supply a Playlist in a MyWebGrocer approved format: M3U, RAM, or ASX. Frequency Caps: All placement level frequency caps must be set by MyWebGrocer and may not be set through third party servers. MyWebGrocer may impose frequency caps on ads as needed and the cap may vary by section. Frequency caps can also be applied to campaigns at advertiser request, on a time based or placement basis. A maximum of one type of cap (session/hourly/weekly) may be applied per campaign. 20 Winooski Falls Way, Winooski, VT 05404 | Phone: 802.764.1841 Fax: 802.764.1844 | mywebgrocer.com Confidential MyWebGrocer Creative Guidelines Deceptive Functionality: All functionality visually indicated within ads must be working and not designed to deceive. Non-functioning drop-down menus, radio buttons and text boxes will not be accepted. ‘Close’ or ‘Skip’ buttons must function as labeled and cannot link users to a new web site. Click Interactions: All click interactions that initiate the load of a new web page must open that web page in a new browser window (except for ads in the E-commerce application which must open in the same window). A click-thru may launch only one new browser window. Any click-thru included with an ad that does not re-direct to a MyWebGrocer created landing page must take users to the web site of the advertiser who purchased the ad space unless the advertiser has provided written permission from another site to link to them with their advertising. Mouse-over interaction cannot link a user to a new website. Flash Guidelines Back-Up File: A default “background” .GIF must be submitted for visitors without (or who are blocking) Flash or JavaScript. The back-up creative cannot be larger than 50KB in size and should be either a JPEG or GIF. Animation: Within ad units defined by fixed in-page dimensions (like banners) uninitiated animation of any form can run for a maximum of 15 seconds or 3 rotations without being re-initiated by the user through a clearly labeled interaction with the ad. This includes animations, such as flashing 'click here' buttons and small icons. Once re-initiated, there must be a clear way to stop any in-unit animation by clicking on a label “Stop” or a stop button. MyWebGrocer reserves the right to prohibit any ads if deemed too intrusive. Version: All Flash ad creative units must be delivered in at least the Flash Version 9 format. Flash 10 and AS3 are accepted as well. Additional Specs: Ad units cannot prompt the download of a plug-in, and must be coded to search for any required plug-ins and display an alternate ad to those who don't have it. ALL Flash ad units must have the background set to Transparent using WMODE parameters. Target Window Commands: In .SWF files clicking out of the retailer sites, the window identifier needs to be set to “_blank”; however, when re-directing to a page within the retailer sites (such as recipe & circular creative driving to an ad landing page and all e-commerce/keyword targeting placements), the window identifier needs to be set to “_top” for all non-Peapod placements and “frame4” for all Peapod placements. Refer to the click URLs spreadsheet or your MWG Ad Ops contact for the specific target window commands needed by placement. 20 Winooski Falls Way, Winooski, VT 05404 | Phone: 802.764.1841 Fax: 802.764.1844 | mywebgrocer.com Confidential MyWebGrocer Creative Guidelines New Window – target=“_blank” Same Window (non-Peapod placements) – target=“_top” Same Window (Peapod placements) – target=“frame4” Click Functionality The click through URL cannot be hard coded into the .SWF. It should look like this ActionScript assigned to a button (“_blank” will change to “_top” for creative that should open in the same window and “frame4” for Peapod e-commerce/keyword targeting placements): on (release) { getURL (_level0.clickTag,"_blank") } Treat the clickTag variable as case sensitive. clickTAG, ClickTag, CLICKtag and clickTag are not equivalents. The clickTag variable within the Flash file must exactly match clickTag syntax. The full banner file must be clickable, which is done by enabling the hand cursor in all of the hotspot and extending the hotspot to cover the full ad space, as the hand cursor indicates that the ad is clickable.

Ad must contain visible media controls (e.g. Play, Pause, Mute, etc.) Rich Media Guidelines MyWebGrocer at this time does not accept the following Rich Media ads: ▪ Pre-roll, Post-roll, Intermediary Video ▪ Teardown ▪ Peel Down MyWebGrocer does accept the following Rich Media ads within the Recipe & Circular (160x600, 728x90 and 300x250 sizes) platform only. Rich Media is not supported via email or ecommerce platforms. ▪ In-Banner Video File Size: The creative cannot be larger than 50KB in size; however, file sizes up to 100KB can be supported upon request at an additional rate. Ad Serving: MyWebGrocer recommends the use of 3rd party ad serving for rich media and in-banner video ads; however, in-banner video can be site served upon request through Doubleclick Studio, at an additional cost. The preferred rich media vendor is PointRoll or Doubleclick; however, other vendors are accepted and have been used in the past, such as Motif, Eyeblaster (MediaMind) and Eyewonder. Creative Delivery: To guarantee an on-time launch, creative assets are due 10 business days before launch for campaigns that require site served video or creative revisions (target window command, etc.) of any kind. All final rich media tags/standard tags/creative assets are due 5 business days before launch to allow for implementation and testing. Tags received closer than 5 business days prior to launch are not guaranteed to launch on time and may prevent the campaign from delivering in full. MyWebGrocer is not responsible for delayed launch due to late delivery of campaign assets. Please refer to the Late Creative Guidelines and Testing Policy section of the Creative Guidelines for additional detail. Controls: 20 Winooski Falls Way, Winooski, VT 05404 | Phone: 802.764.1841 Fax: 802.764.1844 | mywebgrocer.com Confidential MyWebGrocer Creative Guidelines It is recommended that all rich media ads and in-banner video be host-initiated. Close “X” controls are required and “expand” or “play” hot spots should limited to no more than 25% of the ad dimensions. For video, minimum player controls present should be Start/Stop and Volume/ On/Off/Softer/Louder. Other recommended buttons include Fast Forward/ Rewind, Pause and others as needed. All buttons should be enabled throughout the entire video play. Animation: Uninitiated animation is allowed for standard Flash creative; however, all rich media action must be user initiated, such as expansion or video play. Animation can run for a maximum of 30 seconds or 3 rotations without being re-initiated by the user through a clearly labeled interaction with the ad. This includes animations, such as flashing 'click here' buttons and small icons. Once re-initiated, there must be a clear way to stop any in-unit animation by clicking on a label “Stop”, “X” or a stop button. MyWebGrocer reserves the right to prohibit any ads if deemed too intrusive. Video should also adhere to the 30 second recommended length, although longer formats can be accommodated upon request. Target Window Command: In .SWF or .FLV files clicking out of the retailer sites, the window identifier needs to be set to “_blank”; however, when re-directing to a MyWebGrocer hosted “add to list” ad landing page, the window identifier needs to be set to “_top” to allow a same window click through. Refer to the click URLs spreadsheet or your MWG Ad Ops contact for the specific target window commands needed by placement. New Window – target=“_blank” Same Window – target=“_top” Billing: MyWebGrocer does not have negotiated rates with any 3rd party Rich Media vendor; therefore, all rich media fees will be covered by the advertiser. Additionally, Doubleclick charges MyWebGrocer $0.50 per thousand impressions delivered for rich media ad serving. This surcharge will be passed along to the advertiser. MyWebGrocer can provide rich media design, production and QA/ trafficking services to advertisers at an additional cost. Please contact your sales representative for more details or to request a quote for creative services. Third-Party Serving & Tracking Guidelines Most placements can support third party ad serving, but there are some restrictions on the types of third party serving tags and third party tracking tags that MyWebGrocer can accept, 20 Winooski Falls Way, Winooski, VT 05404 | Phone: 802.764.1841 Fax: 802.764.1844 | mywebgrocer.com Confidential MyWebGrocer Creative Guidelines based on site and data restrictions. See below for MyWebGrocer’s third party serving and tracking guidelines. Guidelines: Placement Name Recipe & Circular, Ecommerce, Run of Platform, and Keyword Targeting Display Accepts 3rd Party Serving Accepts 3rd Party Tracking Notes Yes Yes (Impressions and/or clicks) Non-DFA click 1x1s (Atlas, MediaMind), must be clear 1x1 gif tracking pixels and cannot contain a redirect action Email Display No Only clicks Mobile Display No Yes (Impressions and/or clicks) Non-DFA click 1x1s (Atlas, MediaMind), must be clear 1x1 gif tracking pixels and cannot contain a redirect action Non-DFA click 1x1s (Atlas, MediaMind), must be clear 1x1 gif tracking pixels and cannot contain a redirect action Flat rate line items and sponsorship placements that are not served as traditional display media through the DFP ad server cannot be third party served or tracked. These include: Recipe Integration ▪ Enhanced Landing Page/Brand Showcase Consumer Tip Sponsorship ▪ Category Merchandising Product Detail Branding ▪ Data (all kinds) Targeting Fees Third Party Serving: MyWebGrocer utilizes Google DoubleClick tools to serve ads, and is able to accept third-party ad tags from preferred vendors. Any creative running on third-party tags must be approved by MyWebGrocer prior to campaign launch and comply with all creative and platform policies. Third-party ad tags may be used solely to verify fulfillment of the I/O. If the Advertiser’s ad server is IAB/AAAA compliant and reporting is made available to MyWebGrocer, it will be used as Controlling Measurement when tags are utilized. Preferred third-party servers: Doubleclick ▪ MediaMind Pointroll MyWebGrocer utilizes unique click through URLs to re-direct users within their preferred store. Third-party ad servers must be able to support click URLs containing macros (ex. http://%p;sdn=!), to provide session specific redirect functionality, such as a banner click-thru to a branded “add to list” ad landing page within a user’s preferred retailer. Please contact 20 Winooski Falls Way, Winooski, VT 05404 | Phone: 802.764.1841 Fax: 802.764.1844 | mywebgrocer.com Confidential MyWebGrocer Creative Guidelines clientservices@mywebgrocer.com to determine if a 3rd party ad server not included in the above list of preferred vendors is accepted. 3rd Party Tracking: Ads may be 3rd party tracked using 1x1 transparent pixels; however, support of 1x1 pixels within some display formats, like email banners, is limited. Email service providers can strip excess tracking code, preventing fully functional ad serving; therefore, third party tracking in email is limited to click tracking only. Impression tracking via 1x1 pixels is supported when enabled through the Google Doubleclick tools. Note: If advertiser plans on sending 1x1 tracking tags and utilizing an internal “add to list” or “add to cart” ad landing page click through, MWG Ad Ops will send advertiser the unique click through URLs to implement. Cookies, Pixels, and Data Repurposing: Third-party ad serving and tracking is permitted only to the extent needed to confirm I/O fulfillment of impressions and clicks. Additional tracking elements such as those used for ad verification and demographic data collection will be permitted only on a case-by-case basis. MyWebGrocer is extremely sensitive to the needs of our retailer partners regarding customer privacy. As such, the use of tracking tags for retargeting, user harvesting, or data gathering not related to the I/O is strictly forbidden. Ads found running unauthorized tags or malicious code will be removed from the site immediately.
