  Sean Kelly previously requested some information from Cuppy’s about how we process Java Jo’z conversions. I emailed him on January 17, 2007 with a response; however, he has chosen not to post it. We have provided this goodwill offer since June of 2007. My email to Sean Kelly was as follows:

  Mr. Kelly:

  When we receive notice of a Java Jo’z licensee or anyone with an already existing concept desiring to convert to our franchise system, the terms of the conversion are negotiated individually. We disclose the Cuppy’s UFOC and ask them to enter into a Cuppy’s Franchise Agreement. Generally, if a Java Jo’z licensee has already paid funds for a deposit, we try to recognize their payment so that double-payments do not occur. For those that have not already found a site, we offer our assistance with site selection, including our connections with national real estate brokering companies and malls. Essentially, we attempt to effect these conversions so that the overall investment is similar for converting units and those that originate as a Cuppy’s, but as circumstances differ in every scenario, these terms may differ as well. Please advise if I can assist you further.

  EDITOR’S NOTE: I never received this email. If I had, I would have posted immediately. After all, I contacted Rudy Harper to request it.

  Am I correct in interpreting that Cuppy’s Coffee will honor the deposits made to Java Jo’z?
