LAS VEGAS, January 11, 2011 - — U.K. Alliance is Part of Monster's Global Fight to Halt Illegal
Counterfeit Sales of Its High-Performance Products –

Monster, a leading manufacturer of cables, headphones and consumer
electronics accessories based in Brisbane, California, U.S.A., today
announced that it is partnering with the Trading Standards Service in
Cheshire West and Chester, in the U.K., in an exclusive alliance to fight
illegal counterfeiting of Monster's high-performance products throughout the
U.K. Monster and the TSS have entered into the agreement in order to work
together on identifying, investigating and prosecuting criminals dealing in
counterfeit Monster products.

Monster has already assisted the TSS in several ongoing investigations
and will work with it on upcoming raids in the near future. The Monster/TSS
anti-counterfeit initiative will be spearheaded by Monster's EMEA Gray Market
Investigator Jim Mathieson of C3i Europe Ltd based in the U.K. and Camilla
Herron, Monster's U.S.-based Brand Protection Manager.

David Tognotti, Monster's General Manager and Vice President of
Operations noted: "The manufacture and sale of counterfeit consumer
electronics products is a major concern to Monster, its retailer partners,
and, of course, our customers, all over the world. We are increasing our
enforcement actions to help to protect U.K. consumers from being defrauded by
sellers of counterfeit products. Our alliance with the TSS will help us
ensure that when our customers make the choice to buy a Monster product they
know they are getting a genuine Monster item. By combining the resources of
our Brand Protection team with those of the TSS we look forward to a vigorous
anti-counterfeit and diversion program in the U.K." We are targeting
importers, distributors, and retailers of counterfeit product, including the
many website businesses selling counterfeit versions of Monster products.

Vanessa Griffiths, Regulatory Services Manager, Cheshire West and
Chester, said "We welcome the opportunity work with Monster and their Brand
Protection Team in the fight against counterfeiting, and look forward to
producing worthwhile results in the near future."

In addition to its U.K. effort, Monster is currently working with federal
and state law enforcement in the U.S., as well as the EU, and China as well
to stop the manufacture and trade of counterfeit Monster products globally.
The company has been successful with recent raids and arrests of
counterfeiters in China and the U.S. and has a full slate of additional
anti-counterfeit investigations underway.

products or diverted products are encouraged to contact: Camilla Herron,
