WHEREAS, Licensee and Friday’s desire to restate the Prior Agreement through this Agreement, under which Licensee will continue to license from Friday’s and Friday’s will continue to license to Licensee the right to utilize certain Marks (as updated and defined below) for the manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of Licensed Products (as updated and defined below) upon the terms and conditions herein set forth and, for certain transitional purposes, upon the terms and conditions of the Prior Agreement where specified;

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

Licensed Materials - means the Marks and Materials.

Materials - means any artwork, graphic design, image, styles, advertisement, packaging, hang tags, photograph, verbiage, Licensed Product name (exclusive of generic terms), trade dress, or domain names or the like to the extent incorporating the Marks or used in association with the Licensed Products, created by Friday’s or Licensee, individually or jointly, or any third party on behalf or either Friday’s or Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Materials specifically excludes recipe, formula, ingredient combination, flavor profile, storage requirements and Licensee’s manufacturing techniques and practices relating to the Licensed Products, all of which, as between Friday’s and Licensee, will be deemed to be Licensee’s intellectual property, including any such materials previously developed by Licensee under the Prior Agreement. For further clarification, the term Xxxx and Materials as used in this Agreement, and the restrictions contained herein, do not extend to purely descriptive or generic words that would not be entitled to trademark protection under United States federal trademark laws (for example, the use of the word “chips,” “popcorn” or “snacks” in Materials or as part of a Xxxx or Licensed Product name would not prohibit Licensee from using any of those same generic words in connection with its own product offerings).

Marketing Target Date — with regard to the following categories of Licensed Products:

Licensed Products	Development Plan Approval	Marketing Target Date
All current Licensed Products under Prior Agreement	n/a	Effective Date
Popcorn	By December 31, 2014	December 31, 2015
Snack /pub mixes	By December 31, 2014	December 31, 2015
Tortilla chips	By December 31, 2015	December 31, 2016
Corn snacks	By December 31, 2015	December 31, 2016

Xxxx(s) - the trademarks, trade names, service marks, slogans, taglines, logos, designs, emblems and indicia of origin or ownership of Friday’s described in Exhibit A.

Minimum Guarantee - minimum annual guaranteed royalties to be paid to Friday’s in each Contract Year which shall be equal to:

Contract Year (including those within Renewal Term)		Minimum Annual Royalties
2014		[***]
2015		[***]
2016		[***]
2017		[***]
2018		[***]
2019		[***]
2020		[***]

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

Contract Year (including those within Renewal Term)		Minimum Annual Royalties
2021		[***]
2022		[***]
2023		[***]
2024		[***]

The rate of increase in the Minimum Guarantee has been negotiated by the parties with the assumption that (i) [***] of such increase represents the expansion of additional market opportunities for Licensed Products being sold as of the Effective Date, and (ii) [***] of such increase represents the expansion of additional market opportunities to Licensee based on the addition of Popcorn, Snack /pub mixes, Tortilla chips and Corn snacks to the planned Licensed Products, and the addition of new countries and markets to the definition of Territory. If Licensee comes to believe that it is being materially impeded from any such expansion because of Friday’s unreasonable refusals or delays in granting Section 4 approvals as needed by Licensee to timely introduce new planned Licensed Products or extend their geographic distribution, Licensee will promptly notify Licensor in writing and the issue will be escalated to senior management of both companies and the parties will negotiate in good faith a resolution with the goal of allowing Licensee the fair opportunity to proceed with the expansion reasonably needed to meet the Minimum Guarantees.

Payment(s) - all payments of funds from Licensee received by Friday’s including the payment of any Minimum Guarantee true-up payments and Earned Royalties and any other payments required to be made to Friday’s under this Agreement.

Premiums - means any Licensed Product or portion thereof that is given away free or sold at less than the usual selling price for the purpose of promotion, fund raising, sales incentive, sweepstakes, contests, combination sales, or for any other give-away or promotional purpose, as approved in advance by Friday’s where required under Section 5.4.

Recall - any announcement involving the return of Licensed Product to stores by the public or the pulling of Licensed Product from stores, or Distribution Channels due to public health concerns/emergency or for other regulatory or similar reasons, together with such actual removal of Licensed Products and their destruction. Any Recall shall be at Licensee’s expense, and any destruction of Product shall be attested to in a certificate signed by an officer or principal of Licensee. In general, any Recall determination and the effectuation of the resulting Recall will follow the Licensee protocols set forth in Licensee’s QPRP-18- Recall Procedure policy dated June 16, 2011 (as amended with the consent of Friday’s from time to time and to comply with changes in applicable law, “Licensee’s Recall Protocol”).

Term - the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until December 31, 2019, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and subject to a potential one-time automatic five-year renewal through December 31, 2024 pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7.

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

2. LICENSE GRANT

2.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Friday’s hereby grants to Licensee the exclusive, limited right, license and privilege to use the Licensed Materials in connection with the manufacture, distribution and sale by Licensee of the Licensed Products in the Territory. Licensee acknowledges, however, that Friday’s reserves the right for itself, TGIF and their Affiliates and the franchisees and licensees of Friday’s, TGIF or their Affiliates to manufacture, distribute and sell items and goods similar or identical to type or category as the Licensed Products using the Licensed Materials in restaurants and/or hotels owned, operated, managed or franchised by Friday’s, TGIF or their Affiliates, and in offices occupied by Friday’s, TGIF or any Affiliates. Licensee further acknowledges that in the event it has not begun distribution and sale of Licensed Products in any country included in the Territory within the Marketing Target Date set forth in Section 1 (or where no Marketing Target Date is set forth in Section 1, within [***] following the Effective Date), then such failure shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement, but will instead cause the license grant contained in this Section 2.1 to automatically become non-exclusive with regard to such country in which distribution and sale has not occurred. Licensee further acknowledges that in the event it has not commenced in good faith to manufacture, distribute or sell one of the new categories of Licensed Product — (i) Popcorn, (ii) Snack / pub mixes, (iii) Tortilla chip, and (iv) Corn snacks — on or before the end of the relevant Marketing Target Date for such category set forth in Section 1, then such failure shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement, but will instead cause the definition of Licensed Product to thereafter automatically exclude such category of snack products; provided, however, that if a Licensed Product has been submitted by Licensee in good faith to Friday’s for Section 4 approvals at least 120 days prior to the relevant Marketing Target Date and its launch is being delayed because of Section 4 approval processes, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith for an equitable extension of the Marketing Target Date to take into account the extended time necessary to complete the Section 4 approval process.

2.2 Scope of Distribution. Licensee agrees that it possesses no right to sell the Licensed Products or sell to exporters or others for resale or reshipment (i) in any channel outside the Distribution Channels, or (ii) in any jurisdiction outside the Territory. In the event that Licensee becomes aware that any party to whom it sells the Licensed Product intends to resell, ship or distribute, or is reselling, shipping or distributing, the Licensed Product outside the Territory, Licensee shall take actions which are both commercially reasonable and legally permissible to prevent such resale, shipment or distribution including compliance with reasonable

instructions from Friday’s. Licensee shall not distribute the Licensed Products in any new channels or jurisdictions outside the Distribution Channels or the Territory without Friday’s prior written approval. If Licensee seeks to expand the Distribution Channels or the Territory, Licensee may submit its written request to Friday’s for its consideration in Friday’s sole discretion. From time to time, Friday’s may seek and Licensee shall promptly provide to Friday’s a record of all channels and jurisdictions in which the Licensed Products are then sold or planned to be sold by Licensee or any of Licensee’s exporters or resellers.

2.3 Marketing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensee shall be solely responsible for its marketing and promotional activities with respect to the Licensed Products in the Distribution Channels in the Territory and all costs and expenses associated with such activities. Licensee shall maintain at all times the ability to supply, within a commercially reasonable time, the reasonably foreseeable demand for the Licensed Products. Except as expressly permitted herein, Licensee shall not offer, distribute or sell Licensed Products for non-monetary consideration, at reduced prices, or to inventory liquidators, in job lots, closeouts, or remainder sales, in any channel or jurisdiction, except, in each case, with the prior written consent of Friday’s.

2.4 Non-Competition. During the Term, neither Licensee nor its Affiliates shall engage, by licensing or otherwise, in the manufacture, distribution, retail sale, marketing or promotion of any snack product of the same type as the Licensed Products under the brand name of any [***]. Friday’s acknowledges that Licensee reserves the right to manufacture, distribute, sale, market and promote salted snacks and snack mixes: (i) under its existing trademarks (such as Tato Skins®) without any restrictions whatsoever; and (ii) under third party private-label trademarks other than as expressly set forth above.

2.5 No Other Rights. This Agreement grants to Licensee no rights in the Licensed Materials or any other intellectual property of Friday’s apart from the limited use rights described herein; and does not grant rights in any other intellectual property to Licensee or to any other party. All rights not specifically licensed to Licensee in this Agreement are expressly reserved to Friday’s.

2.6 Third Party Manufacturers.

2.6.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensee has the limited right to use third party manufacturers to manufacture the Licensed Products for Licensee only, provided that all such manufacturers must be approved in writing by Friday’s in advance, and must execute the Subcontractor Agreement in Exhibit B and the Standards of Manufacturing Practices in Exhibit C (together, the “Subcontractor Agreement”). Licensee shall provide to Friday’s a fully executed copy of each Subcontractor Agreement promptly upon execution of such agreement and any amendments. Without limitation, Friday’s will not approve a proposed third party manufacturer that is located in China. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any manufacturer of Licensee who manufactures Licensed Products as of the Effective Date and who has previously executed a subcontractor agreement with Licensee as required by the Prior Agreement shall be deemed approved by Friday’s and grandfathered under this Section and need not execute a new Exhibit B or Exhibit C, and the subcontract executed by such manufacturer under the Prior Agreement will be deemed a Subcontractor Agreement under this Section.

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

2.6.2 Licensee shall be responsible for ensuring that its manufacturers’ use of the Licensed Materials, production of the Licensed Products, and any other actions undertaken by the manufacturers satisfy all the requirements and comply with all limitations of this Agreement and the Subcontractor Agreement. Licensee shall assume all responsibility for any action or inaction by such manufacturers relating to use of the Licensed Materials and manufacture of the Licensed Products and shall enforce such obligations against the manufacturers. In the event of a breach of suspected breach of the Subcontractor Agreement or breach or failure to comply with the limitations of this Agreement by Licensee or a third party manufacturer, Licensee shall cause such breach to be cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of breach from Friday’s and in the absence of timely cure Friday’s shall have the right to require that Licensee discontinue, as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances, use of the offending third party manufacturer and/or to require Licensee to take such further steps as Friday’s deems reasonably necessary, in its discretion, to protect Friday’s rights, goodwill and reputation.

2.7 Renewal. Provided that Licensee has paid the minimum annual guaranteed royalties (as defined under Minimum Guarantee) during the Term, the “Initial Term” of this Agreement will automatically renew for one additional five (5)-year “Renewal Term” (through December 31, 2024) unless Licensee provides written notice of non-renewal to Friday’s on or prior to July 1, 2019. Any further renewal of the Term beyond the first Renewal Term will be subject to the mutual agreement of the parties, each acting in its sole discretion.

2.8 “Better for You” Product Development. Within six (6) months following the Effective Date, the parties will agree on a calendar of development for “better for you” items over the course of the Term. The parties will meet every six (6) months following to monitor progress and to adjust the calendar as market demands may dictate. Licensee will also, in coordination with Friday’s, continue to work on modifying the ingredients and nutritional statements on existing products and product extensions of current lines to better align with the changing labeling expectations of food products.

3. OWNERSHIP RIGHTS

3.1 Sole Owner. Licensee acknowledges that as between Friday’s and Licensee, Friday’s is the sole owner of the Licensed Materials and of the goodwill associated therewith, and that Licensee hereby acquires no right, title, interest or claim of ownership in or to the Licensed Materials, except the license granted herein. Licensee will not represent to the public or any third party that it has any right, title, interest or claim of ownership in the Licensed Materials or in any registration thereof and shall not attempt to register any Licensed Materials alone or as part of another trademark or copyright in any jurisdiction. Licensee will not, during the Term or thereafter, contest Friday’s ownership of the Licensed Materials or attack the validity or distinctiveness of any Licensed Material. All use of the Licensed Materials and goodwill associated therewith shall inure to the sole benefit of Friday’s.

3.2 Friday’s Brand Guide. Licensee shall use the Marks in accordance with the Friday’s Brand Guide in Exhibit F and shall observe any additional directions given by Friday’s as to representations of the Marks and the use and presentation thereof on the Licensed Products. Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall promptly return all copies in any media of the Friday’s Brand Guide to Friday’s. Friday’s and Licensee agree that certain Licensed Products

currently being sold by Licensee as of the Effective Date do not conform to the latest changes to Friday’s Brand Guide (adoption of such changes in the Licensed Products having been postponed pending the parties’ negotiation of this Agreement) and that Licensee will have a reasonable transition period following the Effective Date (which the parties estimate should not exceed nine (9) months assuming timely review and response to approval requests submitted by Licensee to Friday’s) to update the Packaging for the Licensed Products to bring them into compliance with the current Friday’s Brand Guide. In the event Friday’s proposes to make any changes to the Friday’s Brand Guide that will require changes to the Licensed Products or the Packaging, Friday’s will provide as much advance notice of the changes as reasonably possible and Licensee will have a reasonable transition period in order to bring the License Products and Packaging into compliance with the changes to the Friday’s Brand Guide.

3.3 Registrations. Upon Friday’s request, and at Friday’s cost, Licensee shall cooperate with Friday’s in the execution, filing and prosecution of any trademark, copyright or other applications that Friday’s may desire to file or any other efforts to protect and preserve Friday’s rights in the Licensed Materials. Upon Friday’s request, Licensee will supply to Friday’s samples, containers, labels and similar material showing its uses of Friday’s rights. Licensee shall not, on the basis of its use of the Licensed Materials, oppose or seek to cancel in any court or government agency in any jurisdiction, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office, any application registration for any xxxx or copyright filed by Friday’s or its Affiliates.

3.4 Notices. Licensee will upon reasonable advance written notice and request from Friday’s affix or to cause its authorized manufacturers to affix to both the Licensed Products, Packaging (as defined in Section 4.2), and Advertising Materials (as defined in Section 4.4) such notices as are reasonably requested by Friday’s in relation to Friday’s rights in the Licensed Materials, including trademark and copyright notice(s) in the name(s) specified by Friday’s. Licensee will not affix to the Licensed Products, Packaging, or the Advertising Materials any trademark or copyright notice in its name or the name of any other person, firm, or corporation, except as approved in writing by Friday’s. Proper trademark and copyright notices as previously approved by Friday’s must be permanently affixed to all Licensed Products, Packaging and Advertising Materials and to any portions of Licensed Products, Packaging or Advertising Materials intended to be used separately by the ultimate purchaser or user. For clarification, Friday’s agrees that all Licensed Products being sold by Licensee as of the Effective Date under the Prior Agreement, as previously approved by Friday’s under the Prior Agreement, are currently compliant with this Section and deemed consented to under this Section.

3.5 No Encumbrances. Licensee shall not pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber any of the Licensed Materials. Licensee shall not use any of the Licensed Materials as part of its corporate or other name, or in any public filings such as a business license. Licensee shall not use any of the Licensed Materials in any domain name, Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or username or handle in any social media platform, except as approved by Friday’s hereunder, and Friday’s further agrees that all current such uses as of the Effective Date, as previously approved by Friday’s under the Prior Agreement, shall be deemed consented to under this Agreement. Licensee shall not employ the name of Friday’s, TGIF or their Affiliates nor use any of the Marks in signing any contract, application for any license permit, or in any manner that may result in liability of Friday’s, TGIF or their Affiliates for any indebtedness or obligation of Licensee.

3.6 Friday’s Modification of Licensed Materials. Licensee acknowledges that from time to time and without Licensee’s approval, Friday’s may modify or discontinue the use of any Licensed Materials, in whole or part, including the Marks identified in Exhibit A. Friday’s does not represent or warrant that the Licensed Materials will be maintained, used or available to Licensee in any particular fashion during the Term. In the event that Friday’s makes any modification to or discontinuance of any Licensed Materials, this Agreement will be subject to any such modifications or discontinuation effective upon written notification from Friday’s; provided, however, that: (i) no such modifications or discontinuances shall materially impair Licensee’s rights or licenses hereunder; and (ii) Licensee may continue to sell and distribute, and shall not be required to destroy or cease using, any Licensed Product inventories (including packaging and labeling components thereof that have not yet been consumed) that exist or are part of work in progress as of Licensee’s receipt of the modification notification. Neither Friday’s nor TGIF or their Affiliates shall incur any liability or obligations to Licensee by reason of the foregoing actions.

3.7 Ownership of Materials Created During the Term. In the event that any Materials are created by Licensee or any third party on its behalf during the Term, Licensee shall promptly disclose all such Materials and their sources to Friday’s. Such Materials shall be deemed works made for hire within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act and shall be owned in their entirety exclusively by Friday’s. To the extent that any such Materials may not be deemed a work made for hire, Licensee hereby irrevocably assigns to Friday’s, without additional consideration, all right, title and interest in and to such Materials, including copyright, trademark and other proprietary rights, and any goodwill associated therewith, in all media (whether now known or later developed) throughout the world in perpetuity, and will execute as a confirmation of the foregoing assignment at any time upon Friday’s request the Artwork Assignment Agreement in Exhibit E. Licensee agrees to execute, or cause to be executed by any of its employees or third parties who participate in the creation of any such Materials, any additional documents reasonably requested by Friday’s to effectuate and confirm the sole and exclusive ownership by Friday’s of all copyrights, trademarks and other proprietary rights in and to such Materials. Licensee irrevocably appoints Friday’s as its attorney-in-fact to execute any such document if Licensee fails to return to Friday’s either an executed copy of such document or any written objection and/or requested changes to such document within ten (10) Business Days following Friday’s written request.

3.8 Confusingly Similar Intellectual Property. Licensee shall not use or authorize use of, during or after the Term, any xxxx, name, slogan, tagline, logo, design, configuration or other designation that is a variation, derivative or modification of or otherwise confusingly similar to or that infringes any rights in the Licensed Materials. Should Licensee, during the Term or anytime thereafter, assert ownership in any such xxxx, name, slogan, tagline, logo, design, configuration or other designation or any copyright or trademark interest therein, in any jurisdiction, Licensee hereby irrevocably assigns to Fridays, without additional consideration, all right, title and interest that Licensee asserts in such variation, derivative or modification, including copyright, trademark and other proprietary rights, and any goodwill associated therewith, in all media throughout the world in perpetuity, and will execute as a confirmation of the foregoing assignment at any time upon Friday’s request any documents to transfer or confirm the transfer of such rights to Friday’s. All uses and rights of and to the variation, derivative or modification and any goodwill associated therewith shall inure to the exclusive benefit of Friday’s and Friday’s may register and protect the same in its own name.

3.9 Goodwill. Licensee recognizes the value of the publicity and goodwill associated with the Licensed Materials, which belong exclusively to Friday’s. Licensee shall not use the Licensed Materials in any manner to disparage Friday’s or the reputation of Friday’s or take any action which will harm or jeopardize the Licensed Materials, or Friday’s ownership thereof, in any way. Neither party shall conduct any activity or produce goods, which in any way questions the other’s ethics or lawful practices, nor shall either party do anything that damages or reflects adversely upon the other. Friday’s recognizes the value of the publicity and goodwill associated with Licensee’s separate marks, acknowledges that Licensee’s marks and any marks confusingly similar to Licensee’s marks have acquired secondary meaning, and that all related rights and goodwill belong exclusively to Licensee. The parties agree that Licensee’s current Xxxx — Tato Skins® — is not and will not be deemed confusingly similar to the Proprietary Marks under which the Licensed Products will be marketed and sold.

3.10 Unauthorized Use of Licensed Materials. If Licensee learns of any manufacture, distribution, sale or advertisement by a third party of any product or service that is of the same general type or class as the Licensed Products and that is marketed or distributed using confusingly similar marks as the Marks, Licensee will promptly notify Friday’s in writing of the actions of such third party. Licensee shall not commence or pursue any action or proceeding against any third party alleging infringement, breach or unauthorized use of the Licensed Materials without the prior written consent of Friday’s. Friday’s shall have the sole right to determine whether any action is necessary or desirable to protect the Licensed Materials. Friday’s shall have the sole right to determine the appropriate action to be taken against any such infringement, imitation, unauthorized use, improper registration of, or improper attempt to register the Proprietary Marks, including the sole discretion to settle any claims or any controversy arising out of any such claims. Licensee, upon written request by Friday’s, shall cooperate with Friday’s in any such action or proceeding. Except as set forth below, Licensee shall not have any rights against Friday’s for damages or otherwise by reason of any determination by Friday’s not to act with respect to any alleged infringement, imitation or unauthorized use by others of the Licensed Materials and/or the Licensed Products; nor shall any such determination of Friday’s affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. Any and all damages or settlements recovered in any action or proceeding shall belong solely and exclusively to Friday’s, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Friday’s.

3.11 Licensee Rights. Licensee retains ownership of its intellectual property created prior to the Effective Date, including all intellectual property that belongs to Licensee under the terms of the Prior Agreement. Any display of Licensee’s intellectual property in conjunction with the Licensed Product is subject to the prior written consent of Friday’s, and in any event Licensee shall not combine its intellectual property with the Licensed Materials in a manner that creates the impression of single or unified xxxx. For clarification, Friday’s agrees that any display of Licensee’s intellectual property as of the Effective Date under the Prior Agreement, as previously approved by Friday’s under the Prior Agreement, is compliant with this Section and deemed consented to under this Section.

4. QUALITY CONTROL AND APPROVALS

4.1 Quality and Standards. In order to maintain the reputation of Friday’s and its Licensed Materials, Licensee will comply with the written quality standards and specifications of Friday’s provided by Friday’s by Licensee in connection with the approval of a Licensed Product in respect to all uses of the Licensed Materials on or in relation to the Licensed Products or promotional and packaging material used in connection therewith. Licensee’s use of the Licensed Materials in connection with its sale, manufacture, distribution, sale, advertising, promotion and exploitation of the Licensed Products shall at all times be suited to maintain or enhance the first-class quality, style and presentation associated with Friday’s and the Licensed Materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to using the Licensed Materials, Licensee shall implement operational procedures with respect to display and utilization of the Licensed Materials in conformance with this Agreement and Friday’s written instructions. No Licensed Products, form of advertising, form of packaging or other material utilizing the Licensed Materials shall be manufactured, sold, distributed, promoted or otherwise used in any manner whatsoever without the prior written approval of Friday’s. Licensee shall comply in all respects with the procedures set forth in this Section 4. For clarification, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary below, Friday’s agrees that (i) all Licensed Products being sold and all Licensed Materials being used by Licensee as of the Effective Date under the Prior Agreement, as previously approved by Friday’s under the Prior Agreement, are compliant with this Section 4 and deemed consented to and approved under this Section 4.

4.2 Approval of Licensed Products and Packaging. Prior to the initial sale, distribution, or advertisement of any Licensed Product or use of any Licensed Materials by Licensee, Licensee shall furnish to Friday’s, at Licensee’s sole expense, for Friday’s written approval, at least the number of representative samples specified below of each of the Licensed Products to be manufactured, distributed, sold or otherwise used under this Agreement, together with their labels, packaging, hangtags, and wrapping material (together, “Packaging”), in each of the following successive stages: (i) at least one (1) sample of rough sketches or layout concepts or descriptions of flavors or food (including details of the materials to be used, application of artwork and rough product and packaging dimensions); (ii) at least one (1) sample of all finished artwork or final proofs; (iii) at least one (1) sample of all prototypes or strike-offs; (iv) at least twenty-four (24) samples (unless fewer samples are acceptable to Friday’s in its sole discretion) of finished Licensed Products, including all packaging materials from the initial production run; and (v) at least two (2) samples from each weekly production runs if requested by Friday’s. Licensee shall also provide such additional samples from clauses (iv) and (v) as Friday’s may reasonably request from time to time.

4.3 Approval of Nutritional Label, Ingredient List, Taste and Quality. Prior to the first production run for each Licensed Product and in the event of any change or alteration to the nutritional label, ingredient list, taste or quality of the Licensed Product, Licensee must submit for Friday’s written approval: (i) the signed Licensee Approval and Expectations Manual in Exhibit G; (ii) the signed Continuing Pure Food Guaranty in Exhibit H; (iii) the Finished Product Specification in Exhibit I; (iv) a full ingredient list; and (v) the final nutritional label. Upon request from Friday’s, Licensee will identify any genetically modified organism (“GMO”) or genetically engineered organism (“GEO”) ingredients or any artificial preservatives proposed then used or proposed to be used in the Licensed Products. Licensee will adhere to Standards of Manufacturing Practices in Exhibit C, the Licensee Approval and Expectations Manual in Exhibit G, and the Friday’s QA General Requirements as identified in Exhibit J in the packaging, labeling, sale, distribution and promotion of the Licensed Products.

4.4 Approval of Advertising Materials. Prior to their first use, all Materials, including promotional, display, point of purchase (“POP”), print, online, mobile and other advertising or promotional materials proposed for use to advertise and promote the Licensed Products (together, “Advertising Materials”) must be submitted to Friday’s for its prior written approval at the following stages, as appropriate to the medium used: (i) at least one (1) sample of the rough concepts; (ii) at least one (1) sample of the layout, storyboard and/or script; and (iii) at least three (3) samples of the finished materials. Licensee shall provide Fridays with copies of each form of Advertising Material published or distributed by Licensee, as well as links to or electronic copies of any online or electronic Advertising Materials. Licensee shall provide such additional samples of Advertising Materials as Friday’s may reasonably request from time to time.

4.5 Procedure. Friday’s will use reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove any submissions of Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof. At each stage of the aforesaid approval process, Friday’s shall have the right to modify or disapprove any aspect of the samples delivered to Friday’s in its sole discretion, notwithstanding the prior approval of Friday’s of related samples at any earlier stage of the approval process. The disapproval by Friday’s of any samples at any stage of the approval process shall constitute disapproval of such sample as a whole. Friday’s failure to approve or disapprove within such period shall be deemed disapproval, unless Friday’s subsequently notifies Licensee of its approval; provided, however, that if Friday’s fails to respond in writing to any submission under Section 4.4., Licensee will send a reminder to Friday’s after fifteen (15) days and if such response is still not forthcoming within forty-five (45) days after receipt of Licensee’s submission, such failure shall be deemed to constitute approval of the submission. No Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials shall be manufactured (except to the extent required to produce production samples), sold, distributed, promoted or otherwise used in any manner whatsoever without the prior written approval of Friday’s at each applicable successive stage as defined in Section 4. Friday’s may keep all samples from each successive stage submitted by Licensee pursuant to this Section. The price or value of samples furnished to Friday’s shall not be included in the calculation of Gross Sales.

4.6 Responsibility for Compliance. Any approval granted under this Agreement shall not alter Licensee’s sole responsibility for the Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, and Advertising Materials, and any content thereof, apart from the Licensed Materials. Any approval of or assistance by Friday’s pursuant to this Agreement shall in no way constitute a certification by Friday’s that the Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials are in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, standards and industry practices, which responsibility shall remain at all times with Licensee.

4.7 Failure to Obtain Approval. Any Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials not approved in writing by Friday’s shall be deemed to be unlicensed and Licensee shall have no right to manufacture, sell, distribute or

promote any such Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials. If any unapproved Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials are manufactured, distributed, sold, promoted or otherwise used, Friday’s may, in addition to other remedies available to it, consult with Licensee to determine whether a Recall of the Licensed Product is appropriate under the circumstances and based on Licensee’s Recall Protocol.

4.8 Modifications; Changes. Any proposed modification in any material respect of the Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials must be submitted to Friday’s for written approval prior to manufacture, sale, distribution or promotion, as if it were a new Licensed Product, Packaging, nutritional label, ingredient list, taste, quality, or Advertising Material, and will be subject, among other things, to all of the requirements of Section 4. Approval of a Licensed Product, Packaging, nutritional label, ingredient list, or Advertising Material which uses particular artwork does not imply approval of such artwork for use with a different Licensed Product, Packaging, nutritional label, ingredient list, or Advertising Material. Approval of any Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, including the non-licensed components thereof, in a particular color, size, shape or placement (or in a particular color or shape, in the case of Advertising Materials, with the understanding that the placement and size of pre-approved Advertising Materials may vary with the advertising medium), does not constitute or imply approval of such Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials in any other color, size, shape or placement, or combination thereof.

4.9 Preparation of Materials by Friday’s. Licensee may, from time to time, request the assistance of Friday’s in the preparation or modification of Advertising Materials. In the event Friday’s agrees to provide such assistance, Friday’s will provide Licensee with an estimate of the cost of such assistance at the then-prevailing commercial art rates available to Friday’s. Upon Licensee’s written approval of the estimate, Friday’s will perform the work, deliver the materials to Licensee, and provide to Licensee an invoice upon completion. Licensee shall pay Friday’s the amount of the invoice within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. For the avoidance of doubt, any materials created by Friday’s under this Section shall be considered Licensed Materials under this Agreement, and their proposed use by Licensee shall be subject to the approval process in Section 4. For the purposes of clarity, Friday’s assistance to Licensee under this Section does not alter Licensee’s responsibility for the content, display and use of any such materials including Licensee’s compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, standards and industry practices.

4.10 Ongoing Conformance. The Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, and Advertising Materials must conform in all material respects to the final production samples or finished materials approved by Friday’s. At any time (and from time to time) during the Term, upon receipt of a written request from Friday’s, Licensee will promptly provide to Friday’s a reasonable number of samples of the Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, or Advertising Materials, at no cost to Friday’s, for quality control inspection. The value of all samples furnished to Friday’s shall not be included in the calculation of Gross Sales. In the event Friday’s reasonably determines that: (i) any Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials do not conform in quality to samples previously approved by Friday’s; (ii) the quality of a Licensed Product originally approved by Friday’s has deteriorated in later production runs; (iii) the

Licensed Product is adulterated or mis-branded within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of June 25, 1938, as amended, or within the meaning of any state or other food and drug law or otherwise in violation of any law or regulation; (iv) the Licensed Product is un-saleable as a consumer food in the course of retail trade; or (v) the Licensed Products, Packaging, nutritional labels, ingredient lists, taste, quality, or Advertising Materials have been altered, damaged, or do not meet the then existing standards of Friday’s, Friday’s may, in addition to other remedies available to it, consult with Licensee to determine whether a Recall of the Licensed Product is appropriate under the circumstances and based on Licensee’s Recall Protocol.

4.11 Damaged or Defective Licensed Products. Licensee shall not sell, give away, provide, ship, distribute or deliver to any individual, firm, corporation or entity (except as expressly provided herein or with the prior written approval of Friday’s) any damaged or defective Licensed Products, Packaging or Advertising Materials. If any damaged or defective Licensed Products, Packaging or Advertising Materials are distributed by Licensee without the prior written approval of Friday’s, Friday’s may, together with any other remedies available to it, consult with Licensee to determine whether a Recall of the Licensed Product is appropriate under the circumstances and based on Licensee’s Recall Protocol.

4.12 Approval Standards. Whenever the approval of Friday’s is required under this Agreement (unless otherwise expressly provided), such approval may not be unreasonably delayed.

5. MARKETING

5.1 Marketing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensee shall, at its sole expense, use diligent, good faith efforts to sell, market and promote the Licensed Products throughout the Territory. All costs and expenses relating to such marketing activities and strategy shall be borne by Licensee, apart from the promotional/trade allowance described in the definition of Gross Sales.

5.2 Minimum Expenditures. During each Contract Year, Licensee shall spend (including promotional/trade expenditures as described in, and deductible from, the definition of Gross Sales) not less than [***] of Gross Sales for the previous twelve (12) months period on advertising, promotion and merchandising of the Licensed Products.

5.3 Marketing and Distribution Plan Approval. At least sixty (60) days prior to the Marketing Target Date, once determined by Licensee, for each of the categories of new Licensed Products — (i) Popcorn, (ii) Snack / pub mixes, (iii) Tortilla chip, and (iv) Corn snacks — outlined in Section 1, Licensee shall provide to Friday’s a written marketing and distribution plan for such Licensed Products. Licensee shall further provide to Friday’s an updated written marketing and distribution plan for such Licensed Products, as Friday’s may reasonably request from time to time. Each such plan shall include a distribution list identifying the types of entities to which Licensee will or plans to distribute the Licensed Products, a description of the Licensed Products, and planned advertising, marketing and promotions and dates therefor. Licensee shall not proceed with the implementation of a marketing and distribution plan or any substantial modification of such plan, including changes in its distribution network, without obtaining the prior written approval of Friday’s. If Friday’s fails to respond or approve any plan or modification within forty-

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

five (45) days of a written description of such program or modification, such failure shall be deemed to constitute approval of the proposed plan or modification. In the event Licensee fails to materially comply with the marketing and distribution plan for any specific Licensed Product subject to the foregoing within twelve (12) months following its respective Marketing Date, then the grant of that portion of the Licensed Product will be removed from the definition of Licensed Products unless such failure is reasonably cured by Licensee within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from Friday’s under this Section.

5.4 Premiums. No Licensed Products may be used as Premiums, nor may Licensee manufacture, distribute, advertise or sell any items to be used as Premiums in connection with the Licensed Product, without prior written approval of Friday’s. Licensee shall provide to Friday’s a detailed description of any proposed use of Premiums hereunder, including information about the quantity of merchandise and the purpose of the program, and any additional information reasonably requested by Friday’s. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Friday’s shall be deemed to approve in advance the practice of providing up to [***] of each Licensed Product per store as “free fill,” (where applicable) and no Earned Royalties shall be due on such Premiums. If Friday’s fails to respond or approve any such request within thirty (30) days after receipt of this information, such failure shall constitute a disapproval of the proposed use. If Licensee uses Premiums without the prior written approval of Friday’s, Friday’s shall have the option to require Licensee to pay full Earned Royalties on all Products used as Premiums.

6. PAYMENTS AND STATEMENTS

6.1 Gross Sales. For purposes of calculation of Gross Sales, a “sale” shall be deemed to have taken place when the Licensed Products are shipped, transferred or invoiced by Licensee, whichever occurs first. Whenever Licensed Products are transferred in whole or in part in transactions where the transferee is an Affiliate of Licensee, the invoice price shall be deemed to be the price quoted to non-Affiliate buyers of the same type as transferee for similar Licensed Products. Except as otherwise permitted herein, Licensee shall not sell Licensed Products for non-monetary consideration, at reduced prices, to inventory liquidators, in job lots, closeouts, or remainder sales, except, in each case, with the prior written consent of Friday’s.

6.2 Advance. Licensee shall pay Friday’s the nonrefundable Advance upon execution of this Agreement and as otherwise indicated in the Section 1. No portion of the Advance will be refundable to Licensee at any time.

6.3 Earned Royalties. Licensee shall pay Friday’s the Earned Royalties for each calendar quarter during the Contract Year in arrears. If, at the end of any Contract Year or on expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Earned Royalties paid to Friday’s are less than the Minimum Guarantee for that Contract Year (pro-rated in the event the last Contract Year is only a partial year), Licensee shall immediately pay the difference to Friday’s. Friday’s acknowledges that as set forth in the Prior Agreement, (i) Licensee had a pre-existing $10 million per year business under which it sold Tato Skins® brand snack chips as “Vending Products” within certain portions of the Territory (“Vending Products” are defined as products which are both sold to vending distributors and are 1.75 ounces or less in stated weight); (ii) the parties agreed in the Prior Agreement that Licensee could replace such sales through the packaging and distribution of substantially similar Licensed Products as Vending Products under the Marks, and Licensee

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

exercised such replacement right; and (iii) upon such conversion and replacement, Licensee was not required for the term of the Prior Agreement to pay Earned Royalties on and could deduct from the calculation of Gross Sales the sale of such Vending Products under the Marks to the extent that Gross Sales of such Vending Products in a calendar quarter did not exceed the gross sales of the Tato Skins® brand Vending Products for the last corresponding seasonal quarter (i.e., 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th quarter) preceding the date of Licensee’s written notice to Friday’s of exercise of the conversion right under the Prior Agreement. The parties agree that this same treatment provided for in the Prior Agreement will carry over into this Agreement through Contract Year 5 (but not thereafter) resulting in certain deductions from Total Sales by Licensee in connection with its continued sale of Vending Products; provided, however, that the total amount of deductions allowed from Total Sales under the prior sentence will be phased out over time and may not exceed: (i) [***] in Contract Year 1; (ii) [***] in Contract Year 2; (iii) [***] in Contract Year 3; (iv) [***] in Contract Year 4; and (v) [***] in Contract Year 5. By way of example: if the Gross Sales of such Vending Products under the Marks for the 3rd calendar quarter of 2014 equals $3,000,000, and the reference quarterly gross sales of Tato Skins® brand Vending Products was $2,500,000 for the same calendar quarter, then Licensee would only pay Earned Royalty based on Gross Sales equal to the difference — $500,000 ($3,000,000 - $2,500,000).

6.4 Royalty Statements. Within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar quarter during the Term, Licensee shall deliver to Friday’s a Royalty Statement of all transactions relating to the Licensed Products during the prior calendar quarter, regardless of whether any payments are then due. Such Royalty Statement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, as may be reasonably amended by Friday’s, including the number of each type of Licensed Product sold in the Territory during the calendar quarter in question, the Distribution Channels for each such Licensed Product, and the total Gross Sales and Earned Royalty for each such Licensed Product; and the total Earned Royalties for all Licensed Products, together with any other information reasonably requested by Friday’s. The Royalty Statement for the month ending each December 31 additionally shall contain summary information for each month of that Contract Year and shall be duly certified by an officer of Licensee to be true and accurate.

6.5 Payments. Within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar quarter during the Term, all payments due from Licensee hereunder shall be paid to Friday’s in full in United States Dollars. All payments and any applicable interest shall be made payable to Friday’s by wire to the account provided below, or as otherwise instructed by Friday’s:

By Wire:		Bank Name — [***]
		Routing Number — [***]

		Account Name — [***]
		Account Number — [***]

	Reference:		Friday’s License Agreement No.

Wire transfer fees as well as all other bank fees related to any payments required to be made by Licensee under this Agreement shall be the sole expense of Licensee, so that Friday’s shall receive the full amount of all payments without reduction.

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

6.6 Delay. In the case of delay in payment by Licensee to Friday’s of any amounts due hereunder, interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, shall be assessed from the first day following the date such payment was due and payable to Friday’s until the date such payment is deposited with Friday’s.

6.7 Receipt of Payments. The receipt or acceptance by Friday’s of any statement furnished or any payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall not preclude Friday’s from questioning the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency thereof at any time. In the event that any inconsistencies or mistakes are discovered in such statements or payments and Licensee does not dispute the finding, Licensee shall immediately rectify such inconsistencies or mistakes and pay any amounts due to Friday’s as provided hereunder. In the event that Licensee disputes the findings, Licensee shall provide documentation to support its position to Friday’s within fifteen (15) Business Days. The parties agree to work in good faith to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days thereafter, and any amounts owed by Licensee shall be paid within seven (7) days of the resolution.

6.8 Taxes. Licensee may (i) withhold from payment of the Advance, Minimum Guarantee true-up or Earned Royalties any applicable tax, duty, fee or other government charge, including transfer, sales, use, consumption, value-added, excise, import or export taxes and custom duties, but not taxes based on its income (collectively, “Taxes”); (ii) pay such Taxes to the appropriate authority; and (iii) upon request, deliver to Friday’s receipts certifying that such Taxes have been paid.

6.9 Friday’s Option to Purchase. Friday’s shall have the option in its sole discretion to purchase from Licensee for use by Friday’s, TGIF or their Affiliates in the exercise of any rights reserved or otherwise retained by Friday’s pursuant to this Agreement, any Licensed Products in reasonable quantities from available stock at the best price given by Licensee to any of Licensee’s customers, minus [***]; provided, that if such Licensed Products are purchased by Friday’s for use as Premiums or for non-resale, promotional uses, the purchase price shall be the lower of (i) the price stated above, or (ii) Licensee’s cost of manufacture plus [***]. Sales to Friday’s shall not be included in the calculation of Gross Sales, and shall be subject to sales, use and similar taxes where applicable.

7. BOOKS AND RECORDS; AUDITS

7.1 Books and Records. Licensee shall keep, maintain and preserve, during the Term and for at least seven (7) years thereafter from the year of creation with regard to any financial, sales or tax payment information, and five (5) years for all other records, or longer if required by the Internal Revenue Service, complete and accurate books of accounts and records covering all transactions relating to this Agreement, and Licensee’s manufacture, distribution, sale, promotion and marketing of the Licensed Products, including accounts and records of the computation of Gross Sales in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (consistent with the definition of “Gross Sales” herein), accounts and records used in calculating and completing Royalty Statements, and sales by Licensed Product, by retailer, by region, and by style and/or presentation.

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

7.2 Audit. Friday’s and/or its duly authorized representatives shall have the right, during regular business hours, during the Term of this Agreement (and for two (2) years thereafter in the case of books of accounts and records), to examine such books of accounts and records and all other documents and materials in the possession or under the control of Licensee with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and to examine and audit any facilities, sites or plants used by Licensee, its third party manufacturers or any other parties engaged by Licensee in the production, manufacture, distribution, storage, advertising or promotion of any Licensed Products, Packaging or Advertising Materials; provided, however, that each such access and examination relating to accounts and records shall be limited to no more than one examination during any given calendar year (unless any material error is found which may require a subsequent audit to ensure such error is resolved), shall be taken upon no less than thirty (30) days written notice to Licensee at a time convenient to Licensee, and shall not unduly disrupt Licensee’s normal business activities. Such audits shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, Friday’s audit rights under Exhibit G. Friday’s shall have free and full access and the right to make extracts or photocopies of any relevant record. Licensee shall cooperate and shall cause its third parties to cooperate fully with Friday’s or its authorized representatives in any such audit and provide them with such assistance as Friday’s or its authorized representatives may reasonably request to conduct the audit.

7.3 Audit Findings. Upon completion of an audit, in the event that an underpayment or overpayment of the Earned Royalties is demonstrated by the audit (a copy of which will be provided to Licensee), such amount shall be paid or refunded, as appropriate, within thirty (30) days after such amount has been determined and agreed to by the parties; provided that Licensee shall pay interest on any underpayment from the date such underpayment was originally due until paid in full, at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. If any audit discloses an underpayment of Earned Royalties for the period subject to audit of five percent (5%) or more, then Licensee shall reimburse Friday’s for the actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit, including, without limitation, the actual and reasonable costs of travel and wage expenses of the auditors, and shall immediately pay any amounts due.

7.4 Corrective Action. Upon completion of an audit, Friday’s may provide notice to Licensee of any deficiencies, weakness or risks demonstrated by the audit and may, in its reasonable direction, require that Licensee take commercially reasonable corrective action concerning the audit findings including potential termination of use of any third party or premises unless timely cure is effected as described in Section 2.6.
