In July 2012, CBS entered into an agreement with Starbucks Corporation (“Starbucks”) to bring the full complement of Starbucks® brewed coffees, teas and espresso-based drinks to all of Crumbs’ retail stores, except the Newark Liberty International Airport location (the “Starbucks Agreement”).  CBS agreed to purchase Starbucks coffee, Fontana sauces and syrups, and Tazo teas and paper products directly from Starbucks to satisfy all of its brewed coffee and espresso beverage requirements in its retail stores. Under the Starbucks Agreement, CBS has agreed to purchase a minimum amount of coffee products from Starbucks through August 2015.  Although CBS has met the agreed purchase amounts since entering into the Starbucks Agreement (estimated at approximately $15,000 of product per week or $780,000 per year), failure to meet the minimum purchase agreements could result in termination of the Starbucks Agreement or adjustment to the coffee costs listed in the Starbucks Agreement. 
 
In January 2013, Holdings entered into a consulting agreement with GCD Consultants (“GCD”), whereby GCD was engaged to provide the following services: (i) strategic planning for the placement of retail stores at sites within markets designated by Crumbs; (ii) identification of retail store sites within enclosed shopping centers, life-style centers and street retail districts; (iii) acting as Crumbs’ representative to real estate landlords; (iv) assistance with the negotiation of business terms and conditions for real estate leases; and (v) consultation with Crumbs’ legal counsel in lease negotiations for retail stores (the “Agreement”). The Agreement requires Crumbs to make annual guaranteed payments to GCD in the aggregate amount of $420,000, payable in equal monthly installments through December 31, 2015. Per the terms of the agreement, Crumbs paid $105,000 to GCD during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $210,000 fo the six months ended June 30, 2013. The agreement also requires additional payments when the number of retail stores exceeds a miminum level. Under this provision of the agreement CBS paid $30,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Based on the number of retail stores committed to in 2013 an additional payment of $120,000 will be paid in 2014.
