The ------------------ terms of such Customer Agreement relating to InterTrust Technology may be amended from time to time by InterTrust as may be reasonably necessary to protect InterTrust's rights hereunder, but solely for subsequent executions of such Customer Agreement and as herein provided. The Customer Agreement shall contain, at minimum and as relevant hereunder, terms that: (1) notify MBC customers of the restrictions on MBC's rights with respect to performing Clearinghouse Functions, granting sublicenses, and otherwise restricting the rights of such customers with respect to use of the MBC Product or Cooperative Application, as applicable, especially the InterTrust Technology incorporated therein; (2) prohibit customers from disassembling, modifying or reverse engineering any portion of the InterTrust Technology incorporated in the MBC Product or Cooperative Application; (3) stipulate that such customer has no right to use the MBC Product or Cooperative Application to engage in or perform any Clearinghouse Functions whatsoever without InterTrust's express authorization pursuant to a written license agreement directly between such customer and InterTrust; (4) prohibit such customer from using the Cooperative Application or MBC Product to make and/or exploit any commercial product other than a Vertical Application; (5) provide that the Customer Agreement is to and for InterTrust's benefit and may be enforced by InterTrust at its discretion; and (6) contain such other provisions as stipulated herein.

MBC agrees and acknowledges that MBC's performance of its obligations hereunder is necessary for InterTrust to adequately protect its Intellectual Property Rights made available hereunder, and such performance shall constitute a condition precedent to the licenses granted under Article 5 hereof.

• 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 use its best efforts to 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 telephone modem or internet using DISTRIBUTOR’s automated order entry system. All orders are subject to the standard order cut-off time of 4:00 p.m. local time, one (1) day prior to their scheduled delivery day for Stores located in the states of Florida and Georgia and 4:00 p.m. local time. In no event will Electronic Orders be required more than two (2) days prior to the scheduled delivery day. Operators will be notified prior to the time of final 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. Operators will have until 5:00 p.m. local time, one (1) day before their order shipping day to modify or add-on to their order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stores that do not place Electronic Orders and have scheduled delivery days of Monday in Florida and Georgia, must have their orders placed by 4 p.m. local time, on the preceding Friday. DISTRIBUTOR may schedule deliveries any day of the week. 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. Operator will be notified of any Product shortages at the time of order placement or, in the case of an Electronic Order, one (1) day prior to the loading of the delivery truck.
