Exhibit A to Agreement between Tully's Coffee and Guarantors re Kent Central Financing  

	

	
Description	
 	

Compensation for the personal guarantee of debt of the Company under a credit facility with a financial institution or other lender requiring personal guarantees from third parties (some or all of whom may be directors, shareholders, or otherwise
affiliated with the Company).
	

	

Compensation for the Personal Guarantee	
 	

As consideration for the personal guarantee of the Company's debt, the guarantor will be issued Warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock as follows:
	

 	
 	

1. Each month, the Company will compute the average balance of the actual outstanding debt guaranteed by each guarantor (the "Guaranteed Amount"). If the amount of outstanding guaranteed debt is less than the total amount of the guarantees, the
Guaranteed Amount shall be determined based on the proportion of the total guarantees for each guarantor. For example, if a particular guarantor had an individual guarantee limit of $200,000 out of total guarantees of $2,000,000, and the actual
amount of outstanding guaranteed debt was $1,500,000, then the Guaranteed Amount for that particular guarantor would be 10% of the $1,450,000, i.e. $145,000.
	

 	
 	

2. Warrants will be issued to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock at the rate of 30.86 shares for each $1,000 of the Guaranteed Amount.
	

 	
 	

3. If the result of the calculation is not an even number of warrants, it will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of shares. Warrants will be computed monthly, but will be issued quarterly, in arrears, on the 15th of January,
 April, July and October.
	

 	
 	

For example, if the Guaranteed Amount for a particular guarantor was $145,000 for a month, the Warrants to be issued to that guarantor for that month would be 4,475 shares, computed as follows: (145,000 / 1,000 * 30.86 = 4,474.7, and rounded to
4,475).
	

 	
 	

Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.05 per share.
	

 	
 	

Warrants will be exercisable one year after issuance (subject to immediate acceleration for mergers and acquisition, public offering of the Company's stock, or conversion of more than 25% of the Company's outstanding Series A preferred shares in any
twelve month period).
	

 	
 	

Each Warrant will have a ten year term after it becomes exercisable, and be subject to proportional adjustments for splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and the like.
	

	

No shareholder rights	
 	

Guarantors will not have voting or dividend rights with respect to unexercised Warrants.
