At Earth Fare, Inc. (Earth Fare), our mission is to make it easier for everyone to eat healthier and live better lives. We earned our customers’ trust and loyalty by empowering them to make better choices every day, consistently delivering on our promise of healthy food for everyone. We could not have done this without the support and extraordinary products of our vendor partners. Forty years later, Earth Fare continues to distinguish itself as the most authentic healthy food grocer in the U.S. Our unwavering passion for customer experience excellence incorporates the highest food Quality Standards in the industry with compelling value, product selection, and friendly, knowledgeable service. And we are just getting started. With an aggressive expansion plan fueled by in-market success, we look forward to showing more people the path to healthier living is as easy as walking through our front door. Our aggressive growth trajectory in 2016 and beyond will result in an expanded footprint across the U.S. to help more customers begin their journey to a healthier lifestyle. We are proud to consider you an important partner as we work together to mutually grow our businesses. To prepare for our future scale, we took the opportunity to reflect on our policies and procedures to bring us in-line with standard industry practices. The review process highlighted several areas for improvement with respect to how we conduct business with our vendors. As a result, we have outlined in this document our expectations and requirements that will allow our relationship to be conducted efficiently and effectively. This guide outlines the procedures for the supply of goods and services to Earth Fare, including new vendor setup, changes in vendor information, communication of item costs, invoicing, and payment policies. The established requirements will provide vendors with Earth Fare’s expectations as they relate to invoicing requirements, electronic data interchange (EDI), payments, and store deliveries. The guide will be sent to vendors electronically prior to effective date. It is also available upon request. Updates will be conducted on an ongoing basis. Amendments of significance will be sent to you provided you have supplied us with an e-mail address.

1.1. Objective Earth Fare vendor relations objectives are as follows: • Receive timely, accurate, and complete information on vendors and items • Ensure accurate information is maintained in our systems • Receive and record shipments accurately as quantity and cost • Process payments and credits for vendors efficiently and within acceptable payment terms. • Respond to vendor inquiries in a cost efficient and timely manner. • Protect our customer safety with an agreed upon effective and efficient product recall policy.

1.2. Use of Technology

Improved efficiencies and a decrease in manual efforts are critical to remaining successful in the competitive market place. Earth Fare is achieving success by taking advantage of the speed and accuracy of one of today’s electronic commerce alternatives, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). EDI greatly improves our ability to process large volumes of invoices for our suppliers. This process eliminates many of the errors that frequently occur due to manual entry and allows Accounts Payable to process invoices in a timely manner. Earth Fare is in the process of migrating to EDI and offer either traditional EDI communication or a web based alternative.

Appendix F

The “Boot” Agreement

EARTH FARE VENDOR POLICIES EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2016

Appendix F The “Boot” Agreement December 1, 2015 Respected Vendor: We at Earth Fare have always been committed to our philosophy of selling only the best, most natural foods to our customers to protect their (and the planet's) health. Our banned ingredient list with stances against ingredients like Sucralose, High Fructose Com Syrup and Partially-Hydrogenated Oils has set trends in the natural foods industry. In support of this, we have recently launched an in-store program, “The Boot Patrol”, to reinforce the seriousness of our convictions. "The Boot Patrol" works like this: if a team member or customer finds a product on our shelves containing an ingredient that is banned on our "Boot List” we reward that person with a $50 gift card. To date, we have relied on our vendor partners to help us make sure our products match our Quality Standards and don't have to be booted. We are now taking this partnership and reliance to a new level of seriousness, asking our vendors to become responsible partners in “The Boot Patrol” program at Earth Fare. Please review the attached Boot List for approved and banned ingredients. Review and sign the accompanying agreement form. By signing the agreement, you affirm that you have read and reviewed our Boot List and Quality Standards, and realize that to do business with us, you must keep us updated and informed of all ingredients in a product and any changes that may occur to product formulations. In addition, you are agreeing that if you ship product to our store not in compliance with our Quality Standards and Boot List, you will be responsible for: • Reimbursement of product cost • Paid pick up for return of product • $50 per ingredient violation (to offset the cost of the Boot Award to customer or team member) • $50 per store into which the item with the violating ingredient was placed Any vendor partner found guilty of 3 deliberate violations will no longer be authorized to do business with Earth Fare. This applies to food only at this time, we are currently working on Wellness and non-food standards. These policies will go into effect starting April lst, 2009. Thank you for your understanding and participation in keeping our shelves clean as part of the Boot Patrol. Sincerely, _________________________________________________ Chief Merchandising Officer Earth Fare Please sign below that you have read and understood the terms of the Boot Patrol Program outlined in this document.

Planogram Program and Requirements

EARTH FARE VENDOR POLICIES EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2016

Appendix H Planogramming Your Project Getting an item approved, merchandised and communicated to the stores at Earthfare is advanced and second to none as far as speed to shelf. Our state of the art processes and technologies provide for the execution of new products to get into the right location, based on the correct number of facings all as a result of analyzing multiple performance factors thru space management best business practices. It is thru these processes that we all benefit by maximizing our efforts to produce the greatest return for both our companies.

Getting Your Product Planogrammed A very important part of getting your product approved and on the shelf, is to get it planogrammed within our process and adhering to the guidelines below. It is our objective to be first to market and on the shelf and we need your help to accomplish that. Our planogram team is through a partnership with Planogramming Solutions, Inc. As many of you might already know PSi, they provide us the most enhanced technology space management experience in the industry. For over 13 years, our partnership with PSi allows us to communicate monthly planogram updates to all stores, for all categories, initiating resets and store openings in record time that provides us performance analysis in category management looking at products, categories, stores weekly sales, gross profit, performance per linear ft., turns and return on inventory investment to name a few as no one can. The most important thing that you can do to make this process work smoothly is to communicate with PSi and make sure that they have your product catalogued and imaged in their system. If necessary, you may have to send a product sample by following the instructions below: For the purpose of computerized planogramming, one live product sample in saleable condition for each of the new items that have been or will be approved for retail distribution needs to be sent to PSi. Please, ensure proper packing and also include any special merchandising instructions or materials that also will be needed (i.e. trays, display case, etc.) Include your name, company and phone number in the case you need to be contacted. If requested, PSi will be glad to provide back this product information for any other future planogramming requests. Ship to: Planogramming Solutions, Inc.
