What must the Ella Cafe Franchisee do regarding software and related systems required by the Franchisor?

10.1 Systems. Franchisee shall use such customer data management, sales data management, administrative, bookkeeping, accounting, and inventory control procedures and systems as Franchisor may specify in the Manual or otherwise in writing. Franchisee must acquire and use only the point of sale cash registers and computer systems and equipment that Franchisor prescribes for use by System Coffee Houses ("POS System") and adhere to Franchisor's

requirements for use. Requirements may include, among other things, connection to remote servers, off-site electronic repositories, and high speed Internet connections. Franchisor may, in its sole discretion, require Franchisee to add to add to the POS System memory, ports, and other accessories or peripheral equipment or additional, new, or substitute software; replace or upgrade the POS System (software and hardware) and other computers as Franchisor prescribes; and enter into maintenance agreements for the POS System and other computers. Because the POS System must be used solely for POS-related purposes that are set forth by the POS System provider and approved by Franchisor, Franchisee may elect to purchase a secondary computer for use at the Coffee House for routine business functions and related software, such as Internet browsing, word processing, spreadsheet preparation, and emailing. Franchisor will provide Franchisee 90 days advance written notice of any change to the POS System requirements. Franchisee must acquire, install, and maintain such anti-virus and anti-spyware software as Franchisor requires and pay related costs, and Franchisee must adopt and implement such Internet user policies as Franchisor may prescribe for purposes of avoiding, blocking, and eliminating viruses and other conditions designed to interfere with operation of the POS System.
