	 	•	 	 Assignment of General Partner’s rights and interest in the License Agreement, which includes a provision for Roasting Rights, dated as of October 12, 2007
with Tully’s Coffee Corporation (the “Tully’s License Agreement”). 


 5.1.2 Limited Partner’s
Capital Contribution. Limited Partner’s initial Capital Contribution shall be in the form of $250,000 cash and a promissory note for $2,750,000 payable to the Partnership in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, due and payable at
the time of the Limited Partner’s admission to the Partnership (“Limited Partner’s Initial Capital Contribution”). 
 5.1.3 Limited Partner’s Additional Capital Contribution. Capital Contributions in respect of and in proportion to (but not to exceed) the Limited Partner’s remaining Capital Commitment shall be due and payable no later than
March 31, 2008 (the “Commitment Period”), provided however, that General Partner, in its sole discretion, may accept such additional Capital Contributions by Limited Partner at any time prior to the Commitment Period.

 5.1.4 Failure to Make Capital Contributions. 
 (a) Event of Default. If Limited Partner fails to make all or any portion of a Capital Contribution when due, then it shall (i) be deemed a “Defaulting Limited Partner” and the following provisions of this
Section 5.1.4 shall apply. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may choose not to designate Limited Partner as a Defaulting Limited Partner and may agree to waive or permit the cure of such default, subject to such
conditions as the General Partner and Limited Partner may agree upon. 
 (b) Interest of Overdue Amounts. A Defaulting Limited Partner
may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be required to pay to the Partnership interest on the past due amount at an annual rate equal to 10 percent (10%), compounded monthly (which interest shall be treated as income of the Partnership
and not as a Capital Contribution by the Defaulting Limited Partner) from the date such balance was due and payable through the date full payment for such contribution is actually made. 
 (c) Loss of Voting Rights. The General Partner may, in is sole discretion, declare that whenever the vote, consent or decision of a Limited Partner
or of the Partners is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement, except 












			
	 TULLY’S COFFEE ASIA PACIFIC PARTNERS, LP
 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
	  	PAGE 6 OF 29

  

 
as required by the Act, a Defaulting Limited Partner shall not be entitled to participate in such vote or consent, or to make such decision, and such vote,
consent or decision shall be tabulated or made as if such Defaulting Limited Partner were not a Partner. 
 (d) Additional Remedies. If
a Defaulting Limited Partner fails to make all or any portion of a Capital Contribution within ten (10) business days after the original due date thereof, the General Partner shall give the Defaulting Limited Partner written notice of the
failure. The Defaulting Limited Partner shall then have ten (10) business days to remedy such failure. If the Defaulting Limited Partner fails to remedy such default within such ten (10) business day period, then the General Partner may
elect to impose any one or more of the following remedies: 
 (i) The General Partner may reduce such Defaulting Limited Partner’s
Capital Account balance by the interest due under Section 5.1.4(b); 
 (ii) The General Partner may cause the Partnership to commence
proceedings against the Defaulting Limited Partner to collect the due and unpaid Capital Contribution as well as (x) the interest due under Section 5.1.4(b); and (y) the expenses of collection including attorneys fees. Any such
amounts collected in excess of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s due and unpaid Capital Contribution shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to be income of or a reimbursement to the Partnership, as appropriate, and shall not be treated
as a Capital Contribution by the Defaulting Limited Partner; 
 (iii) The General Partner may designate one or more Persons (with the prior
consent of such Person or Persons) to assume responsibility for (A) the due and unpaid portion of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment or (B) the entire unpaid portion of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital
Commitment, and to assume and succeed to all of the rights of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership attributable to such portion of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment; 
 (iv) The General Partner may cancel all or any portion of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s unpaid Capital Commitment and adjust the Capital Account
balances of the Partners to cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner to reflect, as closely as possible, the profit and losses allocations that would have been made if the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment had at no time
included the canceled portion thereof; and

 (v) The General Partner may declare the Defaulting Limited Partner a Defaulting Partner under
Section 16.1. 
 (e) Remedies are Cumulative. The foregoing remedies are cumulative and in addition to and not in limitation of
any other right or remedy of the Partnership provided by law or under this Agreement. 
 5.2 Reduction of General Partner’s Capital Contribution.
Upon the completion of General Partner’s Capital Contribution and as Limited Partner makes Limited Partner’s Initial Capital Contribution and Limited Partner’s Additional Capital Contribution as provided above, the Partnership
shall pay the General Partner (or to Tully’s on its behalf) in one or more installments totaling $3,000,000 in cash to reduce the value of the General Partner’s Capital Contribution amount and the General Partner’s Capital Account
will be accordingly adjusted. The entire amount of Limited Partner’s Initial Capital Contribution and Limited Partner’s Additional Capital Contribution shall be paid to General Partner (or to Tully’s on its behalf) when and as
received by the Partnership, until the total of such payments to General Partner is $3,000,000. After payment to General Partner of a total of $3,000,000 from Limited Partner’s Initial Capital Contribution and Limited Partner’s Additional
Capital Contribution and corresponding adjustments to the General Partner’s Capital Account, the finalized Capital Contributions of the General Partner shall be: 
  

				
	 General Partner
	  	$	6,000,000.00

 5.3 Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise provided by and in accordance with
law to the extent such law is not inconsistent with this Agreement, no Partner shall have the right to withdraw or reduce his or her contributions to the capital of the Partnership. 
 5.4 Capital Accounts. The Partnership will establish and maintain on its books a separate Capital Account for each Partner. The initial balance of the General Partner’s Capital Account will be the amount
of the General Partner’s initial contribution. The initial balance of the Limited Partner’s Capital Account will be the amount of the Limited Partner’s Initial Capital Contribution. Each Partner’s Capital Account balance will be
increased by the Partner’s additional Capital Contributions, by any amounts contributed by the Partner to the Partnership in exchange for additional Units and by the Partner’s distributive share of Partnership income and gain. Each
Partner’s Capital Account balance will be decreased by the Partner’s distributive share of Partnership loss and expense, and by all distributions to the Partner of cash or other property. Each Capital Account will be maintained in
accordance with the rules of Section 1.704-1 and Section 1.704-2 of the Regulations, which provisions are incorporated in the Agreement by this reference. 
 5.5 Right to Cure Partner Defaults. In the event that any Partner (the “Partner-in-Default”) defaults on an obligation that is secured by a security interest in such Partner’s
Partnership Interest (a “Secured Obligation Default”), the Partnership and the other 












			
	 TULLY’S COFFEE ASIA PACIFIC PARTNERS, LP
 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
	  	PAGE 8 OF 29

  

 
Partner shall have the right but not the obligation to pay all such amounts (each the “Cure Amount”) as may be necessary to cure any
Secured Obligation Default. The Partnership shall have the first option to pay any Cure Amount. If the Partnership does not pay the Cure Amount within the lesser of (a) ten (10) days of receiving written notice of a Secured Obligation
Default or (b) the time period permitted for the payment of the Cure Amount under the applicable agreement or document, then the other Partner shall have the right to pay the Cure Amount. In the event that either the Partnership or the other
Partner elect to pay the Cure Amount, such payment shall be deemed to be a loan (each a “Secured Obligation Default Loan”) from the Partnership and/or the other Partner, as applicable, to the Partner-in-Default (the
“Secured Obligation Default”). Any such Secured Obligation Default Loan shall bear interest at rate equal to fifteen percent (15%) per annum until repaid in full. In addition, until a Secured Obligation Default Loan has
been repaid in full by the Partner-in-Default, any and all distribution, dividends or other cash payments otherwise owed to the Partner-in-Default by the Partnership, including without limitation, with respect to General Partner, royalty payable to
the General Partner under the Tully’s License Agreement, shall be paid to the Partnership and/or the other Partner, as applicable, who has made the Secured Obligation Default Loan to the Partner-in-Default. Secured Obligation Default Loans
shall be due and payable upon written demand. If the Partner-in-Default fails to pay a Secured Obligation Default Loan upon written demand, the party making the Secured Obligation Default Loan shall have the right to pursue all legal remedies
available against the Partner-in-Default in order to recover immediate payment of the Secured Obligation Default Loan. Nothing contained in this Section 5.5 is or shall be deemed to be for the benefit of any person or entity other than the
other Partner and the Partnership, and no such person or entity shall under any circumstances have any right to compel any actions or payments by the Partner-in-Default. If any Partner becomes a Partner-in-Default, or determines in its reasonable
judgment that there is an imminent probability that the Partner will become a Partner-in-Default, the Partner shall notify the Managing General Partner and the other Partners in the Partnership. The provisions of this Section 5.5 are applicable
notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement. 
 SECTION 6. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 
 6.1 General Rule. After completion of each Partner’s Capital Commitments, as adjusted as provided herein, the percentages of Partnership Interest of
each of the Partners shall be as follows: 
  

				
	 TCAP
	  	50	%
	 AFCM
	  	50	%

 6.2 Except as provided in Section 7.3. of this Agreement, for purposes of Sections 702 and 704 of the
Code, or the corresponding provisions of any future federal internal revenue law, or any similar tax law of any applicable state or jurisdiction, the determination of each Partner’s distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss,
deduction, credit or allowance of the Partnership for any period or year shall be made in accordance with, and in proportion to, such Partner’s percentage of Partnership Interest as it may then exist.

 6.3 Transferred Units. For any taxable year of the Partnership, the portion of any item of
income, gain, profit, or loss that is allocable to any Unit which has been transferred during the year in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement will be allocated between the transferor and the transferee of the Unit, based upon the number
of days during the year that each was the owner of the Unit pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 6.3, the allocation between transferor and transferee will be made without regard
to when the item, or any portion of the item, was actually realized by the Partnership, and without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the transferor or transferee of the Unit. Notwithstanding any suggestion to the contrary in this
Section 6.3, any item of income, gain, profit, or loss attributable to the sale or other disposition of Partnership assets that is allocable to a Unit that has been transferred will be allocated to the record owner of the Unit as of the time of
the sale or other disposition. 
 SECTION 7. DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS 
 7.1 Net Cash From Operations. The net cash from operations of the Partnership shall be distributed at such times as may be determined by the Partners in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement among
the Partners in proportion to their respective percentages of Partnership Interest, provided, however, that no amount of net cash from operations shall be distributed during any fiscal year of the Partnership until after the Partnership has paid any
required installment of the aggregate purchase price pursuant to a right or option of the Partnership to acquire all of the Partnership Interest of a Partner, if any such right or option has been exercised by the Partnership, as provided in Sections
13, 15, or 16 hereof.

mortgages or deeds of trust respecting Partnership assets or of other Partnership debts, and (ii) such expenditures for capital improvements or replacements, such reserves for said improvements and replacements and such reserves for repairs and

mortgages or deeds of trust on Partnership property or the encumbrancing or financing of such property in any other manner; plus 
 7.2.3
Any other funds (including amounts previously set aside for reserves by the Partners, in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement, to the extent the Partners, in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement, no longer regard such
reserves as reasonably necessary in the efficient conduct of the Partnership business) deemed available for the distribution by the Partners, in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. 
 7.2.4 In determining the amount of net cash from operations any negative balances in any category described in Section 7.2.1., 7.2.2. and

 7.3 Partnership Asset Dispositions. In addition to the distributions pursuant to Section 7.1. of this Agreement, upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any capital asset of the Partnership (hereinafter referred to as a
“Disposition”), the proceeds of such Disposition shall first be applied to the payment or repayment of any selling or other expenses incurred in connection with the Disposition and to the payment of any indebtedness secured
by the asset subject to the Disposition immediately prior thereto; all proceeds remaining thereafter (the “Net Proceeds”) shall be retained by the Partnership or be distributed, at such time or times as shall be determined by
the Partners in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement to the Partners in proportion to their respective percentages of Partnership Interest; provided, however, that for purposes of Sections 702 and 704 of the Code, or the corresponding
provisions of any future federal internal revenue law, or any similar tax law of any applicable state or jurisdiction, each Partner’s distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or allowance in respect of any such
Disposition shall be made and based upon such Partner’s basis in such capital asset.

 8.1 Management of the Partnership. Except to the extent that the consent of the Limited Partners is required by Section 8.4.2 and as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the Managing General Partner will have the right to make all decisions respecting the management, operation and control of the Partnership business. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Act, the Managing

 8.1.3 Managing General Partner. The
Managing General Partner shall be selected annually from the General Partners by the General Partners as the primary voice and leader of the General Partners. In the event there is only one General Partner, then the single General Partner will be
the Managing General Partner. When there are two or more General Partners, the Managing General Partner will be chosen by consensus of the General Partners. The Managing General Partner will be required to have the consent of the other General
Partners in the same circumstances where the consent of the Limited Partners is required pursuant to Section 8.4.2. 
 8.2 Conflicts of Interest.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to appoint any Partner the agent of another Partner, except as expressly provided herein. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed in any manner to limit the
Partners’ freedom to carry on of their own respective businesses or activities. Any of the Partners, or any agent, servant or employee of any of the Partners, may engage in and possess any interest in other businesses or ventures of every
nature and description, independently or with other persons, whether or not, directly or indirectly, in competition with the business or purpose of the Partnership, and neither the Partnership nor any of the Partners shall have any rights, by virtue
of this Agreement or otherwise, in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, or any rights, duties or obligations in respect thereof. This section does not, and may not be interpreted to, reduce the duty of loyalty
owed to the Partnership by any Partner by law or by the terms of this Agreement.

to the conduct of the Partnership business so much of their respective time as may be reasonably necessary for the efficient operation of the Partnership business.

financial condition of the Partnership will support a successful offering, subject to the approval of the Limited Partner under Section 8.4.2.

 SECTION 13.
TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST AND PARTNERSHIP RIGHTS 
 No Partner shall hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest over any part or
all of its Units in the Partnership except upon the written consent of the other Partners. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof, no Partner (hereinafter referred to as the “Offering Partner”)
shall, during the term of the Partnership, sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Transfer”) any part or all of his Units in the Partnership to any other person (a
“Transferee”). Each Partner proposing to Transfer all or a portion of its Units in the Partnership (hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Interest”) shall first offer the Offered Interest on the same
terms and conditions as those offered to the Transferee to the Partnership, and secondly, to the other Partners, in a manner as follows: 
 13.1 The
Offering Partner shall give the Partnership and each Partner written notice of the Transferor’s intention to make a Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”). The Transfer Notice which shall contain (i) the number of Units
comprising the Offered Interest, (ii) the identity of the prospective Transferee, (iii) the consideration to be paid for the Offered Interest (the “Transfer Purchase Price”), and (iv) the material terms and
conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Transferor has received a bona fide firm offer from the prospective Transferee and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is
obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement related to the proposed Transfer. 
 13.1.2 If the Partnership desires to purchase all or any part of the Offered Interest, the Partnership must, within a thirty (30) day period
(the “Partnership Refusal Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of the Transfer Notice, give written notice of its election to purchase the Offered Interest equal to the Transfer Purchase Price. To the extent the
Partnership elects not to purchase any of the Offered Interest, the remaining Offered Interest may be purchased by the other Partners as set forth below. A failure by the Partnership to exercise its right of first refusal within the Partnership
Refusal Period shall be deemed a waiver of such right.

 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
	  	PAGE 16 OF 29

  

 13.1.3 Within five (5) days after the earlier of (i) receipt by the Transferor of
notice from the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.1.2 above, and (ii) the expiration of the Partnership Refusal Period, the Transferor will give written notice (the “Second Transfer Notice”) to the other Partners
specifying either (A) that all or a portion of the Offered Interest was subscribed by the Partnership exercising its right of first refusal, and setting forth the number of Units comprising the Offered Interest not subscribed for by the
Partnership, if any, or (B) that the Partnership waived its right to purchase any of the Offered Interest. 
 13.1.4 To the
extent the Partnership does not purchase all of the Offered Interest pursuant to Section 13.1.2 above, each Partner (excluding the Transferor) shall have an option for a period of thirty (30) days (the “Partner Refusal
Period”) from the receipt of the Second Transfer Notice to submit notice of its irrevocable commitment to elect to purchase its respective pro rata share of the remaining Offered Interest at a price per Unit equal to Transfer Purchase
Price, and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. 
 13.1.5 Each Partner may exercise
such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all or any portion of its pro rata share of the remaining Offered Interest, by notifying the Transferor and the Partnership in writing, before expiration of the Partner Refusal Period as to the number of
such Offered Interest which it wishes to purchase. For the purposes of this clause (ii), each Holder’s “pro rata” share of the remaining Offered Interest shall be a fraction of such remaining Offered Interest, of which the number of
Units owned by such Partner on the date of the Second Transfer Notice shall be the numerator and the total number of Units held by all Partners (excluding the Transferor) on the date of the Second Transfer Notice shall be the denominator.

 13.1.6 If any Partner fails to exercise its right to purchase its full pro rata share of the remaining Offered Interest, the
Transferor shall deliver written notice within five (5) days after the expiration of the Partner Refusal Period to any Exercising Partner (as defined below) specifying the number of unpurchased Offered Interest. Each Partner that exercises in
full its right of first refusal under clause (ii) above (an “Exercising Partner”) shall have a right of re-allotment, and may exercise an additional right to purchase such unpurchased Offered Interest by notifying the
Transferor and the Partnership in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice by the Transferor pursuant to the prior sentence of this subsection (iii); provided, however, that if the Exercising Partners desire to
purchase in aggregate more than the number of such unpurchased Offered Interest, then such unpurchased Offered Shares will be allocated to the extent necessary among the Exercising Partners in accordance with their relative pro rata shares.

 13.1.7 If any Holder gives the Transferor notice that it desires to purchase its pro rata share of the Offered Interest and, as the
case may be, its re-allotment, then payment for the Offered Interest shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Interest to be purchased at a place agreed by the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor,
which shall be no later than sixty (60) days after the Holder’s receipt of the Second Transfer Notice.

 13.2 If the Partnership or the other Partners fail to accept the Offer or, if the Offer is accepted by the
Partnership or the other Partners and the Partnership or the other Partners fail to purchase all of the Offered Interest at the Transfer Purchase Price within the time and in the manner specified in this Section 13, then the Offering Partner
shall be free, for a period (hereinafter referred to as the “Free Transfer Period”) of sixty (60) days from the occurrence of such failure, to transfer the Offered Interest to the proposed Transferee identified in the
Transfer Notice on the terms contained therein; subject only to any additional restrictions on such Transfer that may be imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement. Any such Transferee, upon acquiring the Offered Interest, shall automatically
be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall be required to join in, execute, acknowledge, seal and deliver a copy of this Agreement as a result of which he shall become an additional party hereto. If the Offering Partner shall not transfer the
Offered Interest within the Free Transfer Period, his right to transfer the Offered Interest free of the foregoing restrictions shall thereupon cease and terminate. 
 13.3 No transfer made pursuant to this Section 13 shall dissolve or terminate the Partnership or cause the Partnership to be wound-up, but instead, the business of the Partnership shall be continued as if
such Transfer had not occurred. 
 13.4 Notwithstanding any other section of this agreement, no Partner may transfer a portion or the entirety of the
control of themselves as a corporate entity, through stock or otherwise, without the express consent of the Partners (“Indirect Transfer”). Should such an Indirect Transfer occur without consent, the transferee shall have no
rights of management in the Partnership through the partner entity, nor shall they have the ability to bind the Partnership through the partner entity. This provision shall not apply to the following (the “Acceptable Indirect
Transfers”): 
 13.4.1 A transfer or a series of transfers through which a party or parties other than Tully’s
acquire a total of not more than 49% ownership interest in General Partner, provided that the transferee and any affiliates are not engaged in the retail coffee business, is not a person of questionable moral or financial character, is not a person
who would be otherwise considered of nefarious character, and is not a person who would place the Partnership in violation of United States law, such as the Patriot Act; or 
 13.4.2 A transfer or a series of transfers of equity securities in AFCM, provided that the transferee or recipient of the newly issued equity
securities and any affiliates are not: (a) engaged in the retail coffee business, (b) a person or entity of questionable moral or financial character, (c) a person or entity who would be otherwise considered of nefarious character,
(d) a person or entity who would place the Partnership in violation of United States law, such as the Patriot Act, and (e) Kouta Matsuda or a Controlled Entity maintains his or its position and power to manage, operate and control the
affairs of AFCM.

 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
	  	PAGE 18 OF 29

  

 An Acceptable Indirect Transfer may only proceed after 30 days advance written notice to the other Partner. The other
non-transferring Partner may, at its discretion, question the validity of the transferee under this section. In the event the validity of the transferee is questioned, the transfer must be placed on hold until the non-transferring Partner issues a
decision with respect to the transfer under this section. 
 13.5 In the event of any unapproved or forced transfer, the transferee’s interest
shall be limited to an economic interest in the Partnership, defined as the economic right to receive distributions whenever made by the Partnership and the Partner’s allocable share of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit (the
“Economic Rights”). Any transfer of Economic Rights will not include any right to participate in management of the Partnership, including any right to vote, consent to, and will not include any right to information on the
Partnership or its operations or financial condition. Following any transfer of only the Economic Rights of a Partner’s Interest in the Partnership, the transferring Partner’s power and right to vote or consent to any matter submitted to
the Partners will be eliminated, and the Ownership Interests of the remaining Partners, for purposes only of such votes, consents, and participation in management, will be proportionately increased until such time, if any, as the transferee of the
Economic Rights becomes a fully substituted Partner. 
 SECTION 14. ALTERATION OF THE TULLY’S BRAND 
 14.1 In the event that (a) a single third party entity acquires more than 50% ownership of Tully’s, through acquisition, merger or otherwise, and, within
eighteen (18) months of closing on such transaction, announces its intention to close or change the brand identity of the company-operated stores which comprised 50% or more of the number of Tully’s company-operated outlets in the U.S., or
(b) during any eighteen (18) month period during the term of this Agreement, Tully’s closes or changes the brand identity of the company-operated stores which comprised 50% or more of the number of Tully’s company-operated
outlets in the U.S., operating at the commencement of such eighteen (18) month period; the following may occur: 
 14.1.1 Limited
Partner may purchase all of General Partner’s Partnership Interest in order to continue operating in substantially the same manner under the License Agreement. In this event, Limited Partner may initiate a Negotiated Buy-Sell transaction as set
forth in Section 18 of this Agreement and General Partner will have thirty (30) days from the date a Final Appraised Value is obtained in which to consummate the purchase. 
 14.1.2 Limited Partner may sell its Partnership Interest to General Partner, pursuant to a Negotiated Buy-Sell transaction as set forth in
Section 18 of this Agreement and General Partner will have thirty (30) days from the date a Final Appraised Value is obtained in which to consummate the sale. 
 14.1.3 Limited Partner may sell all of its Partnership Interest, subject to a right of first refusal by General Partner pursuant to Sections 13.1 and 13.2 .

 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
	  	PAGE 19 OF 29

  

 14.2 In no event shall the following trigger an occurrence under Section 14: 
 14.2.1 Tully’s is acquired but the Tully’s brand continues to operate in a manner generally consistent with the operation,
pre-acquisition, and, within eighteen months of closing on such transaction, the buyer has not made an announcement that it intends to close or change the brand identity of the company-operated stores which comprised 50% or more of the number of
Tully’s company-operated outlets in the U.S. 
 SECTION 15. PURCHASE UPON BANKRUPTCY. 
 15.1 Upon the Bankruptcy of any Partner (the “Withdrawing Partner”), the Partnership shall neither be terminated nor wound-up, but,
instead, the business of the Partnership shall be continued as if such Bankruptcy had not occurred. Upon any such event, the estate, legal representative, guardian or other successor to the Partner’s interests will have all rights to receive
distributions which otherwise would be made to the Partner, and will succeed to all obligations of such Partner under the terms of this Agreement; provided however, that the remaining Partner shall have the option but not the obligation to
purchase the Withdrawing Partner’s Partnership Interest in the Partnership at any time within seventy-five (75) days of the date of such Bankruptcy (the “Withdrawal Date”). The remaining Partner shall, by written
notice addressed to the Withdrawing Partner or to the legal representative of a Withdrawing Partner, fix a closing date for such purchase which shall be not less than seventy-five (75) days after the Withdrawal Date. The Withdrawing
Partner’s Interest shall be purchased by the remaining Partner on such closing date at a price (the “Withdrawing Purchase Price”) which shall be the Final Appraised Value (as defined in Section 18.1 of this
Agreement.). 
 15.2 The aggregate dollar amount of the Withdrawing Purchase Price shall be payable in cash on the closing date, unless the acquiring
Partner shall elect prior to or on the closing date to purchase the Withdrawing Partner’s Interest in installments as provided in Section 18 of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 16. CERTAIN FURTHER EVENTS GIVING RIGHTS TO PURCHASE OPTION. 
  

	16.1	In the event that any Partner (the “Defaulting Partner”): 

 16.1.1 Shall have filed against him any tax lien respecting all or substantially all of his property and such tax lien shall not be discharged, removed or bonded within sixty (60) days of the date on which
it was filed; or 
 16.1.2 Shall subject his Partnership Interest or any part thereof or interest therein to a charging order entered
by any court of competent jurisdiction; or 
 16.1.3 Shall die or be adjudicated incompetent, for Partners who are natural persons, or
dissolve or wind up, for Partners who are not natural persons; 











			
	 TULLY’S COFFEE ASIA PACIFIC PARTNERS, LP
 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
	  	PAGE 20 OF 29

  

 then, immediately upon the occurrence of either of said events (the “Occurrence
Date”), the non-Defaulting Partner shall have the right and option, exercisable by written notice to the Defaulting Partner, within thirty (30) days of the Occurrence Date, to purchase from the Defaulting Partner, who shall sell to
the non-Defaulting Partner, all of the Partnership Interest (the “Defaulting Partner’s Interest) owned by the Defaulting Partner in the Partnership on the Occurrence Date. The non-Defaulting Partner shall, by written notice
delivered to the Defaulting Partner or his successors, fix a closing date for such purchase which shall be not less than forty (40) days after the Occurrence Date, but in no event longer than seventy-five (75) days after the Occurrence
Date. The Defaulting Partner’s Interest shall be purchased by the non-Defaulting Partner on such closing date at a price (the “Defaulting Partner’s Purchase Price”) which shall be the Final Appraised Value (as
defined in Section 18.1 of this Agreement). 
 16.2 The aggregate dollar amount of the Defaulting Partner’s Purchase Price shall be payable
in cash on the closing date, unless the non-Defaulting Partner shall elect prior to or on the closing date to purchase the Defaulting Partner’s Interest in installments as provided in Section 18 of this Agreement. 
 16.3 The Partners may mutually agree, in writing, to make the default under any other agreements of the individual Partners or Partnership trigger a purchase
option pursuant to this agreement. Should such a secondary agreement occur, the party in default in the secondary agreement shall be the Defaulting Party under this provision. The procedure shall be the same as is set forth in Section 16.1.

 16.4 If an event pursuant to Sections 14, 15, or 16 occurs, the Partnership shall have the right to terminate all existing management agreements
subject to the terms and conditions thereof. 
 SECTION 17. CERTAIN TAX ASPECTS INCIDENT TO TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

 It is the intention of the parties that the Transfer Purchase Price, the Decedent Purchase Price, the Withdrawing Purchase Price and the Defaulting
Partner’s Purchase Price shall constitute and be considered as made in exchange for the interest of the retired Partner in partnership property, including good will, within the meaning of Section 736(b) of the Code, as amended. 

SECTION 18. THE APPRAISED VALUE. 
 18.1 Certain
sections of this Agreement provide the right for a Partner to initiate a “Negotiated Buy-Sell transaction.” For purposes of this Agreement, that shall mean a negotiation initiated by a Partner with the other Partner(s) to sell all of its
interest in the Partnership to those Partners(s) or to buy all of the interest in the Partnership of all other Partners(s), as follows: 











			
	 TULLY’S COFFEE ASIA PACIFIC PARTNERS, LP
 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
	  	PAGE 21 OF 29

  

 18.1.1 The parties, being the buyer and seller, shall each, at their own expense, hire an
appraiser. The hired appraisers shall then hire an additional appraiser upon their independent agreement. The cost for the independent, third appraiser, shall be divided evenly between the parties. The three appraisers shall each independently
appraise the Partnership and arrive at their estimated appraisal value for the sale. The three shall then confer and reach an agreed appraisal value as a committee (the “Final Appraised Value”). This Final Appraised Value
shall be binding upon the parties so long as: 
 18.1.1.1 The three appraisals do not vary greater than 25% from the mean of the three
appraisals; 
 18.1.1.2 The final appraised value is no greater than 10% above the highest appraised value, nor lesser than 10% below
the lowest appraised value; 
 18.1.1.3 The appraisal process was performed in good faith by all appraisers. 
 In the event that the terms of this section are not satisfied, then the parties must have the interest re-appraised, or the parties may seek a remedy
through a court of law. In the event that there are more than one buyer and/or seller involved in the transaction, absent an agreement among the parties, each party must hire their own appraiser. 
 18.1.2 In a Negotiated Buy-Sell, the terms of payment shall be as follows, unless otherwise agreed to by the buying and selling Partners:

 18.1.2.1 The lesser of the amount which is twenty-five percent of the purchase price or $1,000,000.00, shall be paid in cash, bank
cashier’s check, or certified funds at the closing; 
 18.1.2.2 The balance of the purchase price by the buying Partner executing
and delivering its promissory note for the balance, with interest at the prime interest rate stated by primary banking institution utilized by the Partnership. Interest will be payable monthly, with the principal sum being due and payable in three
equal annual installments. The promissory note will be secured by the ownership interest being purchased by the Partner and will contain provisions that the principal sum may be paid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty. 
 SECTION 19. DEATH, INCOMPETENCE OR BANKRUPTCY OF KOUTA MATSUDA. 
 The Bankruptcy, death or adjudicated incompetence of Kouta Matsuda while AFCM is the Limited Partner shall give rise to a default option. The General Partner may, at its 












			
	 TULLY’S COFFEE ASIA PACIFIC PARTNERS, LP
 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
	  	PAGE 22 OF 29

  

 
discretion, treat the Bankruptcy, death or adjudicated incompetence of Kouta Matsuda as a default for AFCM under 16.1.3 if the General Partner feels the loss
of AFCM will affect the performance, viability, stability, or any other operating factor of AFCM or if the General Partner feels the death will have any impact on the Partnership. 
 SECTION 20. DELIVERY OF EVIDENCE OF INTEREST 
 On the closing date, upon payment of the Final Appraised Value for
the purchase of the Interest hereunder or, if payment is to be made in installments pursuant to the provisions of Section 18 hereof, upon the first payment, the Offering Partner, the Withdrawing Partner, the personal representative of the
Withdrawing Partner (in the event of the bankruptcy of the Withdrawing Partner) or the Defaulting Partner, as the case may be, shall execute, acknowledge, seal and deliver to the purchasing person such instrument or instruments of transfer to
evidence the purchase of the Interest (the “Instrument of Transfer”) that shall be reasonably requested by counsel to the purchasing person in form and substance; reasonably satisfactory to such counsel. If a tender of the
Final Appraised Value, or the tender of the first payment thereof, shall be refused, or if the Instrument of Transfer shall not be delivered contemporaneously with the tender of the Final Appraised Value or of the first payment thereof, as
aforesaid, then the purchasing person shall be appointed, and the same is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to execute, acknowledge, seal and deliver the Instrument of Transfer.

 SECTION 21. INDEMNIFICATION. 
 21.1 General
Indemnification. The Partnership shall indemnify any person who was or is a party defendant or is threatened to be made a party defendant, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the Partnership) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Partner of the Partnership, Managing Director, employee or agent of the Partnership, or is or was serving at the request of the Partnership,
against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Partnership, and with respect to any criminal action proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of “no lo Contendere” or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that the person did or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best
interest of the Partnership, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was lawful. 
 21.2 Special Indemnification. The general indemnification set forth in Section 21.1 shall be separate from and subordinated in priority to the Indemnification Agreement among Tully’s, Limited Partner and AFCM
regarding any action brought by UCC Ueshima Coffee Corporation, Ltd. (“UCC”) with regard to the past agreement between Tully’s and UCC (the “AFCM Indemnification Agreement”).

Section 24.9.1 shall be settled within the court system in the United States of America in any court with jurisdiction over the agreement and/or the parties, pursuant to the laws of the United States at the time of the conflict. In no event
shall a conflict under this agreement be settled in any jurisdiction other than the United States, nor shall disputes be submitted to mediation, arbitration, or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure unless: 
 (1) The Members unanimously agree to submit the issue to mediation, arbitration, or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure; or

 (2) A court orders mediation, arbitration, or another alternative dispute resolution procedure.

Agreement), the prevailing party is entitled to recover, in addition to other costs, reasonable attorney fees in connection with the suit, action, or arbitration, and in any appeals. The determination of who is the prevailing party and the amount of
reasonable attorney fees to be paid to the prevailing party will be decided by the court or courts, including any appellate courts, in which the matter is tried, heard, or decided.
