1. Why did I get this notice? FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Bay Area Beverage s records show that you are, or were, employed as an hourly-paid or non-exempt employee of Bay Area Beverage within the State of California between March 10, 2012 and March 17, 2017. The lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa, is known as Windham, et al. v. T.F. Louderback, Inc. dba Bay Area Beverage Company, et al, case number MSC16-00861 ( Action ). Tyrone Windham, Terry Collins, and Timothy Davis are called the Plaintiffs and the company they sued, T.F.

Bay Area Beverage denies that it has done anything wrong and asserts that it has fully complied with all labor laws and that it has entered into the Settlement solely to resolve this lawsuit. 3. Why is this lawsuit a class action? In a class action, one or more individuals are called the class representatives. In this case, Tyrone Windham, Terry Collins, and Timothy Davis are the class representatives who brought suit on behalf of themselves and other employees who have similar claims. All of these people are a class or class members. One court resolves the issues for all class members, except for those who exclude themselves from the class. On March 17, 2017 the Court issued an order conditionally certifying the Settlement Class defined in response to Question 4 below for purposes of settlement only. 4. Who is in the Settlement Class? The Settlement Class is defined as follows: All hourly-paid or non-exempt employees of Bay Area Beverage employed within the State of California at any time between March 10, 2012 and March 17, 2017 who do not opt out or request to be excluded from the Settlement. 5. Why is there a settlement? After the parties exchanged extensive documents and information about this lawsuit, both sides agreed to the Settlement to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation. The Settlement does not mean that any law was broken. Bay Area Beverage denies all of the legal claims in the case. The Class Representatives and their lawyers think the Settlement is in the best interests of all Settlement Class members. Page 2 of 6

How do I object to the Settlement? Any member of the Settlement Class may object to the proposed Settlement, or any portion of it, by filing a written objection and supporting papers with the Claims Administrator, Simpluris, Inc. at WINDHAM, et al. v. T.F. LOUDERBACK, INC. dba BAY AREA BEVERAGE COMPANY, et al. C/O SIMPLURIS, INC., PO BOX 26170 SANTA ANA, CA 92799, which must be postmarked no later than May 19, 2017.

A Settlement Class member who wants to object but who fails to comply with the objection procedure described here will be deemed not to have objected. Any member of the Settlement Class who does not timely submit written objections will not be permitted to present his or her objections at the Court s Final Approval Hearing (see Question 18).

You will not receive any money under the Settlement if you exclude yourself. THE COURT S FINAL APPROVAL HEARING The Court will hold a hearing to decide whether to approve the Settlement. If you have submitted a timely objection or notice of intention to appear you may attend and you may ask to speak, but you don t have to do so. Page 5 of 6
