any reason and  for no reason.     Because you  are  an at-will employee, although the
               Company may choose to terminate your employment for cause, cause is not required.
               This handbook does not alter the at-will nature of your employment, nor does it create
               an employment contract between any employee and the Company.  Nothing contained
               in this handbook shall be construed  as a guarantee of continued employment  for a
               definite period of time between the Company and any employee, or to create any terms
               or conditions of employment that contradict this policy of at-will employment.

               No one other than the President of Amy’s Drive Thru may enter into an agreement for
               employment for a specific period of time or make any agreement contrary to the policy
               of at will employment.  In addition, any such agreement must be in writing signed by the
               President of Amy’s Drive Thru.


               EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY IS OUR POLICY

               Amy’s Drive Thru is an equal employment opportunity employer.  The Company’s policy
               is to recruit, hire and promote without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex,
               disability, medical condition, age,  pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition,
               marital status, ancestry, political affiliation, veteran status, sexual orientation or identity,
               past or present military service, or any other legally protected characteristic.  Decisions
               on employment and promotion are based solely on an individual’s qualifications and on
               business needs, with respect  to the skills and abilities of the position  for which the
               individual is being considered.

               The Company is committed to providing a safe and productive work environment, free
               of  threats to the  health, safety,  and well-being of its  employees.   Examples  of such
               threats include, but are not limited to, harassment, discrimination, violations of health
               and safety rules, and violence.

               Reporting and Investigation of Complaints

               An employee who witnesses or is subject to inappropriate conduct in the workplace
               should notify their  department supervisor or manager, or  any  other supervisor or
               manager with whom the  employee  feels comfortable.   If an employee is unsure
               regarding  with  whom to  raise an  issue of discrimination, or  if  an  employee has not
               received a satisfactory response within  five (5)  business days after reporting  any
               incident that the employee perceives to be inappropriate conduct, the employee should
               immediately contact  Cindy Gillespie or Melissa Gilpin in Human Resources  at 1650
               Corporate Circle, Suite 200, Petaluma, CA 94954 or (707) 781-7685.

               Inappropriate conduct includes any conduct prohibited by Company policies, including
               harassment, discrimination, improper discipline, workplace violence, health and safety
               issues, wages and work hours, and drug and alcohol use.  In addition, the Company
               encourages employees to come  forward with any workplace complaint, even if  the
               matter of the complaint is not explicitly covered by the Company’s written policies.
