Stop Payment Orders If you do not want us to pay a check you have issued, you can request us to stop payment of that check. Any Authorized Representative may order us to stop payment on a check and we will charge a fee. See the fee schedule applicable to your Account for details. Your stop payment order must include your Account number, the number and date of your check, the amount, and the name of the payee. We are not responsible for stop payment orders with incorrect or incomplete information. If you make your stop payment order orally and do not confirm it in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days, we may not continue to honor it. Our acceptance of a stop payment order will not constitute a representation that the Item has not already been paid or that the Bank has had a reasonable opportunity to act upon the order. Your stop payment order will take effect only after we receive all required documents from you, we verify that the check is unpaid, we record it on your Account, and we have had sufficient time to notify the impacted areas of the Bank (which may take several days), and we will not be liable if we pay the check or for any related Losses you incur before the stop payment order has taken effect. We cannot stop payment on a check we have already cashed or a deposited check where the funds have already been withdrawn. You may not stop payment on money orders issued by the Bank or on official, certified, cashier’s, or teller’s checks issued by the Bank. In addition, you may not stop payment on checks governed by separate agreement, such as a check guaranty agreement. Your stop payment order will be effective for six (6) months, and can be renewed for six (6) more months for an additional fee. We have no obligation to notify you when your stop payment order expires. If you want to release a stop payment order, you must tell us in writing. If the check is presented for payment after a stop payment order expires, we may pay the check. In some cases, we may pay a check even if a stop payment order is in effect. For example, if we or another person or entity becomes a “holder in due course” of a check that you ask us to stop, we may still pay the check. When you place a stop payment order, you agree to indemnify us for all Losses we incur due to our refusal to pay the Item. You assign to us all rights against the payee or any other holder of the check. You agree to cooperate with us in any legal actions that we may take against these parties. Applicable Law may permit other limitations on our obligation to stop payments. Refer to Section 8 of this Agreement, “Electronic Funds Transfers,” for how to place a stop payment on electronic payments.

Product Orders All Product orders shall be submitted by the Operators to DISTRIBUTOR and shall specify the location of the Operator’s Stores, the type of Product, and the quantity desired. Operators may place orders electronically (“Electronic Orders”) or by telephoning or faxing DISTRIBUTOR’s customer service center in accordance with the guidelines detailed below. All shipment expenses from DISTRIBUTOR’s distribution center to the Operator’s location shall be at DISTRIBUTOR’s expense unless otherwise noted elsewhere in this Agreement. Product order guides will be provided by DISTRIBUTOR to the Operators monthly via DISTRIBUTOR’s website and with a hard copy delivered to each Store, with availability of such order guides to be made prior to the beginning of the month, but only after review and approval of the order guide by COMPANY. The order guides will be organized by Product categories and will include, among other things, the Product Sell Price (as defined herein), Product units and new Products. DISTRIBUTOR will assign one product code number to each stock-keeping unit (“SKU”) of each Product, which will be common throughout its entire distribution system and will be used on all documents such as order guides, invoices, monthly reports, etc. SKU’s, and, accordingly, the assigned product code number, must differ for equivalent Products supplied by different suppliers. DISTRIBUTOR will utilize the existing TCBY product item numbers. Only Products approved for sale to its Operators by the COMPANY will be listed on this order guide. Electronic Orders will be placed via internet using DISTRIBUTOR’s web-site. All Electronic Orders are subject to the standard order cut-off time of 4:00 p.m. local time, two (2) days prior to their scheduled delivery day. Operators will have until 5:00 p.m. local time, two (2) days before their order shipping day to modify or add-on to their order. Orders not placed electronically may be subject to earlier cut-off times than those established above as mutually agreed upon between COMPANY and DISTRIBUTOR. Operators will be notified prior to 10:00 a.m. the day after their order cut-off if a product is expected to be out of stock so that an alternative may be ordered, subject to the provisions of Section 3.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stores that have a scheduled delivery day of Monday, must have their orders placed by 12:00 p.m. local time, on the preceding Saturday and Stores that have a scheduled delivery day of Tuesday must have their orders placed by 12:00 p.m. local time, on the preceding Sunday. DISTRIBUTOR may schedule deliveries at any time and day of the week. However, where reasonably possible, DISTRIBUTOR will schedule ordering days and delivery days that are mutually agreed upon by and between DISTRIBUTOR and each Operator and will provide notice to the affected Operator at least fourteen (14) days before routing changes. On an exception basis, DISTRIBUTOR will consider shortening the permissible time frames for scheduled deliveries for those Operators that, given unique and compelling business needs, require the same.
