currently in the Freight Management program.  When Distributor targets a new lane for
                     backhaul, and such lane is transitional to Distributor with the approval of CSCS, there will
                     be a four-week period to transition the lane to the Distributor.  When the Freight Manager
                     targets a “distributor arranged” lane for activation, there will be a maximum four-week
                     period to transition the lane to the Freight Management Program.

                              15.4 Designation of Freight Manager.
                     Unless otherwise noted, all moves managed in the Freight Management Program will act as
                     a distributor pickup (“CPU”) and the Freight Manager will bill Distributor the contracted
                     agreed upon freight standard for the move.


                              15.5  Freight Management Claims
                     On loads in which the Freight Manager manages the freight, the Freight Manager will be
                     responsible for determining whether fault lies with the carrier or the Supplier for Approved
                     Products that are deemed unacceptable by DineEquity Quality Assurance department or
                     Distributor’s personnel when they arrive at the Distribution Center.  The Distributor will,
                     within 24 hours, provide the Freight Manager a written explanation for the rejection of the
                     Approved Product, including all pertinent data that supports the rejection of the Approved
                     Product such as pictures of damaged Approved Product and receiving documentation,
                     whether the damage is determined to be Supplier or carrier-caused.  If the damage is
                     determined to be Supplier-caused, the Distributor will seek an amicable remedy directly
                     with the Supplier and will pay the Freight Manager in full based on the number of cases
                     ordered.  If the damage is carrier-caused, the Freight Manager will reimburse the
                     Distributor within 60 days for the cost of the Approved Product.  Freight Manager will
                     maintain commercial general liability insurance, including, but not limited to, public
                     liability, completed operations and product liability coverage, in amounts not less than
                     those reasonably required from time to time by CSCS.

                              15.6 Participation in Collaborative Replenishment.
                     Distributor will support the Freight Manager’s collaborative replenishment process by
                     structuring and synchronizing the replenishment order plans that facilitate optimized freight
                     routings within the CSCS logistics network.  Upon mutual agreement, Distributor will
                     execute refined order schedules (order dates and order quantity) recommended by the
                     Freight Manager on select freight lanes, subject to explicit replenishment service level
                     agreements stipulated by CSCS and Distributor.

                              15.1  Inbound Freight.
                     Inbound Freight will be paid in accordance with the Freight Management Program.

                              15.2  Unloading Fees.
                     Unloading services (lumpers) will be provided to the Supplier’s carrier or the Freight
                     Manager’s designated or contracted carrier, at the carrier’s option and expense, to offload
                     Approved Product onto Distributor’s dock in accordance with Distributor’s requirements.
                     Lumper fees will be capped as follows:
