CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Amy’s Drive Thru expects its employees to devote their full work time, energies, abilities
and attention to our business. Employees are expected to avoid situations that create
an actual or potential conflict between the employee’s personal interests and the
interests of the Company. Employees who, because of other work or activities, cannot
make this commitment may be asked to end their employment with the Company.

A conflict of interest exists when an employee’s loyalties or actions are divided between
the Company and a competitor, supplier, or customer. Employees who are unsure
whether a certain transaction, activity, or relationship constitutes a conflict of interest
should discuss it with their supervisor or a member of management for clarification. The
President must approve any exceptions to this policy in writing.

Examples of common conflicts that should be avoided by all employees include:

customers, suppliers or potential suppliers;
