    3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Many retailers, especially grocery stores, are improving the way they track customers' purchases -- and how they reward those customers. Forget the old club card you must present with each purchase. \"You're going to see retailers, particularly the grocery companies, do more with the data they gather from customers,\" says Mr. Fox, [professor of marketing at Southern Methodist University]. \"They're going to give you a special discount or give you more information about what you bought or what's on sale.\" “Trends (A Special Report): Retail --- Upscale Experience, Downscale Prices” Wall Street Journal, November 21, 2005 “Google is basically out to make every ad a targeted ad,\" said Safa Rashtchy, an analyst for Piper Jaffray & Co. \"That started in search and that will go beyond search in display advertising and then offline.” “Google explores radio ad sales; Search engine plans to buy dMarc of Newport Beach” San Francisco Chronicle, January 18, 2006 Deloitte believes there are four umbrella challenges in Trade & Consumer Management that are of highest priority to CPG manufacturers [including] Direct to Consumer Marketing: ‘How should we leverage information from retailer loyalty programs to jointly market to the consumer?’ “What is Trade Promotion?” Deloitte Consulting, August 5, 2004 se ds en or The three quotes above exemplify an m S o io p W TV l Ad .c ai s ho Ad ad rs ne on s k overall trend in consumer marketing. ite e tS tM zi ye or gl lR le az ar Fl bs ga og ec ca oo tw Am r Sm e a Go Ne Di Ad Lo G Companies have worked to get closer to M W the consumer in their marketing. Key to Mass Targeted Personalized this effort has been cycles of improvement Marketing Marketing Marketing in data gathering and technologies for delivering content to individuals. For example, a major innovation for magazine publishers was the ability to vary ads by subscribers’ locations, opening up channels for local advertisers. In recent years, Google has taken marketing to another level with its AdWords. These catch consumers’ self-identified interests right at a moment in which they are highly receptive to a message. Google’s recent announcement of its acquisition of dMarc highlights the Web giant’s view about other areas ripe for more targeted marketing. SmartShop is a product designed to take marketing even further along this spectrum, toward true personalized marketing. Grocers and other retailers have established loyalty programs with an eye toward improving their information capture and fostering a relationship with customers. The reality is few Merchants have captured even a quarter of the potential of these programs. Consumer packaged goods manufacturers (CPGs) are also keenly interested in developing better ways to market directly to individuals. Currently, they have little ability to identify and reach individuals most interested in the products. SmartShop will deliver a set of offers (i.e. discounts) based on consumers’ actual purchases. Both Merchants and CPGs will input the offers they want to distribute. SmartShop will handle the targeting and distribution of these offers. Consumers will receive their offers in an easy to access and use process, completing the loop for true personalized marketing.

The $1.8 billion is based on a fully mature implementation of SmartShop in the top 25 grocers, in which it becomes a primary loyalty program for Merchants. The revenue model is defined more fully in §1.2. The primary revenue generation for SmartShop is via CPGs. CPGs spend $75 billion annually in promotion- related funds, either paid through Merchants to run ads and discounts or directly to consumers, such as coupon distribution. Much of this money is wasted on expensive physical production and distribution of free standing inserts (CPG coupons) and Merchant ad flyers. Not only are these current mass marketing vehicles expensive, they have a very low readership. This combination leads to inefficient use of dollars and represents the opening for SmartShop to successfully penetrate the market. SmartShop will leverage Pay By Touch’s differentiating strategic assets in realizing this revenue opportunity: Pay By Touch Wallet: The Wallet is the centralized home for a consumer to manage and access her different financially-related accounts, including SmartShop offers. Members can also be linked to households for purposes of tracking spending. Implementation at the POS: To track consumers’ purchasing, a company must have access to their transaction history. With in-store implementations across a variety of merchants, Pay By Touch has an incredibly valuable asset for the design and implementation of SmartShop. In addition to information access, PBT is positioned to deliver offers to consumers at transaction time. Biometric credential: Biometrically identifying Members solves two issues that can bedevil loyalty programs. First, it takes the burden off the consumer to keep multiple cards in her wallet. Use of PBT for identification automatically captures her loyalty account. Second, it eliminates the practice of providing a false loyalty card ID, providing an immediate increase in the quality of data captured. Multiple communication channels: Pay By Touch will have multiple touch points with Members. In-store kiosks provide a vehicle for communicating offers to Members. MyPBT will offer Members a comprehensive view of their loyalty programs and provide a venue for Merchants and CPGs to communicate offers to Members. Email communications will alert Members to new offers. Mobile devices can alert Members to relevant offers through a unique combination of identity, purchase history and location.

    8. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT This Marketing Requirements Document (MRD) is intended for internal distribution only. The MRD describes how SmartShop aligns with the corporate goals of Pay By Touch and will meet the demands of existing and future customers. It explains the value that SmartShop would bring to our various customer categories and how it would help differentiate Pay By Touch from our competition. Marketing Requirements are specified; these describe the functionality that is required in order to realize the goals. 1.2 OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION Consumer Packaged Goods Manufacturers (CPGs) spend CPG $100 Billion Annual Spend $100 billion annually in advertising, marketing and promotion Grocer Advertising and Promotions efforts with grocers. $25 billion is spent on advertising. Another $17 billion goes toward direct consumer promotions, Advertising, 25% which include free standing inserts (FSI). FSIs are the Trade coupons provided by manufacturers in consumers’ Sunday Promotion, newspapers. $10 billion is budgeted as “account specific” 48% promotional dollars. These are dollars that the CPG uses to run consumer promotions through specific Merchants. The Consumer remaining $48 billion represent trade promotion allowances Promotion, 17% Account Specific, provided by CPGs to grocers. Because grocers are the 10% critical distribution channels to consumers, they hold considerable sway over CPGs. CPGs provide grocers Source: Cannondale Associates significant dollars to ensure their products are placed in weekly ad flyers, displayed in-store and promoted via discounts, or temporary price reductions (TPRs). Two problems plague the current industry promotional CPG Coupons structure, one a more recent phenomenon, the other a Total Distributed and Redeemed: 2002-2004 longtime issue. 345 billions 3.8 Over the past decade, the efficacy of CPG FSIs and 340 3.7 1.1% 335 3.6 Merchant ad flyers has steadily diminished. FSI Coupons Distributed Coupons Redeemed 330 3.5 redemption rates are now below 1% (see chart) and 1.1% 325 3.4 ad flyer readership is typically under 10%. Whether 320 3.3 the cause is increasingly harried households, 315 3.2 0.9% 310 3.1 promotion saturation or shopping at alternative outlets, 305 3.0 the result is less bang-per-buck for these vehicles, 300 2.9 raising the effective cost of advertising that does 2002 2003 2004 “make it through” to consumers. CPG Coupon Distribution Coupon Redemption Source: CMS, Inc. The other problem for Merchants and CPGs is that promotional programs follow an indiscriminate one-to- many distribution model. All shoppers are treated the same when it comes to in-store discounts. According to Accenture research, consumers are unaware of 51% of items bought on sale. This translates to a loss of margin with zero marketing value to the Merchant and CPG. A second issue is that “cherry picker” customers only purchase items on sale from different Merchants, meaning the gross margins on their average basket are significantly lower than those of loyal customers. Both CPGs and Merchants are unhappy with current promotional models. To address shortcomings, the approach has been to throw money at the problem. In 1999, manufacturers spent 14.0% of their sales on trade promotion; by 2003 that figure had risen to 17.4%. Unsurprisingly, Cannondale Associates reports that 84% of CPGs are dissatisfied with the return on their trade promotion dollars.

    9. Pay By Touch Market Opportunity By leveraging its strategic assets, Pay By Touch has an opportunity to provide a solution that solves several issues. SmartShop reverses the trend of Trade/Consumer Allowance increasing costs in FSI and ad flyer production and Distribution of Spending distribution by providing relevant offers that consumers want and can easily access. TPRs can TPR/Coupon TPR - Offer Coupon Dis Current be targeted to loyal, higher margin customers while Production & Distribution plays Aware of TPR Aware Unaware of TPR Unaware CPG coupons can find the most interested consumers. The end state is more CPG trade TPR/Coupon - End State Offer Coupon Dis promotion and consumer dollars applied toward Prod. & Distr. plays Aware of TPR Aware Unaware driving profitable customer visits. The basics of SmartShop that address the opportunity are: • Targeting engine that distributes offers to Members based on their shopping history • Weekly offer sheet that presents up to 20 offers to the customer • Multiple low-cost communication modes that deliver offers right before Members initiate shopping as well as earlier in the week SmartShop Offer Sheet Example Structure Merchant Funded Offers CPG Funded Offers Offer Ads Regular Offers Members will receive weekly offer sheets with up to 20 different individual discounts. The first ten offers will be those funded by the Merchant (trade promotion dollars). The second ten offers will be those funded by individual CPGs (consumer promotion dollars). In the example above, there are two offers (Coca-Cola, Haagen Dazs) that are set up as offer ads. These offers receive more real estate on the offer sheet and allow larger, more dynamic graphics.

    10. Pay By Touch Revenue Opportunity Pay By Touch will charge Merchants a fee for every offer sheet activated by a Member, and a second fee for every offer sheet for which a Member redeems at least one Merchant-funded offer. This revenue approach can be described as a “pay for performance” model. Activation fee revenue requires SmartShop to deliver offers in an easily accessible, timely manner. Pay By Touch SmartShop Opportunity Sources of Redemption fee revenue requires SmartShop to Revenue have a targeting model that consistently distributes relevant offers to Members.

This model establishes CPGs as the premium placement ad offer activated by a Member primary source of revenue for SmartShop. In addition, Pay By Touch will earn a fee for each offer ad upon activation. The SmartShop revenue opportunity is measured on a store-by-store basis. The key revenue drivers are: • Number of households served in a geographic area • Percentage of households joining SmartShop • Percentage of households activating their offers every week • Percentage of households redeeming their offers every week The table to the right is an example of the revenue SmartShop Revenue Opportunity Single Store opportunity available in a single store location.

Merchant & CPG offers Members must activate their offers prior to H web reporting mobile ----------- their being available for discounts at the settlement POS. This ensures that the Member is G aware of the offer being made. After the offers are tendered at the POS, SmartShop maintains a tally of discounts taken, providing settlement services for Merchants and CPGs. The major functional components of SmartShop are described below: A. Data Center: Member household purchase histories, or transaction logs, are imported from Merchants’ databases. Information includes UPCs, price per UPC, and the total amount paid. B. Offer/Rule Library: Merchants and CPGs input their offers on different products. Offers indicate a dollar or percentage off, limit on total customers per offer, a list of eligible UPCs, offer effective period, Member assignment rules and digital assets (logos) associated with the offers. C. Targeting Engine: LoyaltySuite provides the analytical engine for distributing the offers. It statistically evaluates the transaction logs to identify customers likely to be interested in a given offer, incorporating the Merchants’ and CPGs’ designated distribution strategies. D. Communication Staging: After the various offers are distributed to Members, they are uploaded to the Staging Server. The server is the source for offers presented to the various communication channels. A flag is maintained for each Member indicating whether they have viewed the offers. E. Communication Channels: Members view their offers in four different ways. Email notices are sent weekly. Offers can be viewed on MyPBT portal. In-store kiosks catch Members right as they initiate shopping trips. Members can view their offers on-the-go via mobile devices. F. POS: The POS component consists of two elements. First, SmartShop will monitor the UPCs scanned at checkout. Once the eligible UPCs are identified, SmartShop will transmit the discounts to the ECR for application to the Member’s checkout total. G. Settlement: SmartShop will track all offers redeemed through the system. This information will be aggregated on a regular basis (e.g. weekly) for use in electronic settlement of funds between CPGs and Merchants. H. Web Reporting: Merchants and CPGs will be provided with metrics outlining the performance of their offers. Customer segmentation will be integrated in the reporting of these metrics.

    13. 1.4 CUSTOMER VALUE PROPOSITION SmartShop will deliver value to four different constituencies: • Merchants Innovative loyalty program that fosters an ongoing relationship with customers • Deliver customers offers on the products they care about • Reduced cost for production and delivery of coupons • Ability to target best customers to improve overall gross margin • CPGs Ability to get messaging much closer to their end customers than ever before • Reduced cost for production and delivery of coupons • Target customers of rival CPGs for offers • Members Receive much more relevant coupons than what arrives in the Sunday paper • Ability to redeem coupons is greatly simplified versus current search-clip-n-carry model • Through increased use of coupons, purchasing power is extended • PBT Revenue from CPGs and Merchants • Increased utility for the Wallet • Increased Member enrollment and usage through a stronger Merchant “push” strategy 2 PRODUCT STRATEGY AND OVERVIEW 2.1 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goal for SmartShop is to become Merchants’ primary loyalty program. A single, highly effective loyalty program simplifies administration, reduces costs and keeps customers’ focus on their relationship to the Merchant. Achieving this goal does not require a radical departure from current industry practices. Rather, it requires re-channeling existing discounts into a customer-specific model. The initial market entry will be selling SmartShop as an augmentation to an existing loyalty program or as a trial program for grocers without existing programs. Over time, as the value of SmartShop is realized, grocers will increase their reliance on it as their primary loyalty program. Essentially, SmartShop will be Merchants’ CRM application for managing their customers. As such, SmartShop must be built with a whole product approach. Models for product development and service delivery include Siebel and Salesforce; Amazon.com and Netflix; and Visa and PayPal. Because SmartShop will touch multiple points of Pay By Touch and Merchants, the objective is to keep the level of customization as minimal as possible. Otherwise, the solution risks being expensive, long to implement and not scaleable.

    15. 2.3 COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS 2.3.1 Direct and Indirect Competitors U.S.-based competition in the loyalty field centers primarily on grocers, secondarily on other mass merchandisers.

The offers are funded by CPGs and are delivered to shoppers via in-store kiosk, the web and email. For a Merchant, the solution is nearly all upside, as the CPGs fund the offers from their own promotional budgets, not trade allowances. CPGs gain a direct line to customers most interested in their products. Concept generates most of its revenue from the CPGs. CPGs commit a certain dollar amount for a defined period, Program Architecture Overview $10,000 for six months for example. They set parameters for offer distribution, and then let the system go on “auto Users Concept Shopping Retailer HQ In-Store pilot”.

Concept Shopping has been in business for several years (approximately 7). It was tested at Safeway, which never committed to the solution. Concept is currently running pilots and expanding within Albertsons, deployed under the Avenu name in Jewel Osco stores. Concept currently partners with kiosk-provider Tactical Retailing Solutions (TRS) for the Jewel-Osco pilot. However, it is likely a new provider for kiosks will be selected in the first half of 2006 as Albertsons expands the program.

    16. POSnet Concept Shopping can be classified as an innovative offer targeting engine with supporting infrastructure around it. POSnet, on the other hand, provides the supporting infrastructure needed to deliver personalized offers, but without a proprietary targeting engine. POSnet is a member-owned Limited Liability Corporation dedicated to the commercialization and operation of its electronic offer management and point-of-sale clearing system. Pathmark is its largest customer. The company’s Retail Media Management™ is an open platform and electronic offer management infrastructure that enables retailers to flexibly share their customer relationships with trading partners providing the widest possible array of creative household-specific promotional offers through multiple communication channels including direct mail, email, internet couponing sites, kiosks, service-counter label systems, POS printers, mobile shopping devices and an innovative solution to in-store coupon clearing In addition to robust, open platform offer management, POSnet provides settlement functionality. Its aggregation of transactional data facilitates measurement and analysis of marketing results on a real-time basis. POSnet’s settlement provides four critical requirements: • Validation: POSnet central systems extract redemption details from retailer point of sale systems and perform validation routines to verify that the rewards issued at checkout are in agreement with requirements contained in the central database. • Automated invoicing: A weekly process aggregates daily point of sale redemption activity into a single invoice transmission document for each funding CPG-sponsor. • Weekly payment: The issuance of weekly CPG-sponsor invoices, retailer receivables reports and joint settlement documents occurs each Monday following weekly close. Through a concentration account managed by Bank of America, CPG payments are collected by ACH transfers executed on Monday, allowing for funds transfer to retailers on Wednesday. • End-to-end audit trail accountability: Retailers (and third parties the retailer authorizes) can readily follow the disposition of any redemption forward through the settlement process, and/or trace any settlement document or invoice back to the precise original point of sale redemption transactions.

Few competitors offer a complete solution to the market. In addition, Pay By Touch offers its intrinsic strengths in the offering. Relative to its most direct competitor, Concept Shopping, SmartShop is more consistent with current industry practices regarding the distribution of discounts: Merchant and CPG control over the offers, weekly cycles for distributing offers. Concept Shopping’s approach does require more faith in its targeting model due to the opaqueness of its model.

Source: Customer Intelligence, Gary Hawkins In his book Customer Specific Marketing, Brian Woolf relates the experience of Gregerson’s Foods. In April 1994, Gregerson’s initiated its Club Greg card, offering its best customers special discounts while sharply decreasing the in-store temporary price reductions. 18 months later, CEO “Greg” Gregerson described the program results to Woolf: “Our same-store sales are up 5%, and our gross profit is up over one full percentage point! Differentiated marketing works!” Woolf reports similar results for a variety of retailers implementing customer-specific marketing.

    22. Reduced Advertising Costs The second benefit is a reduction in the cost to produce and distribute promotions to customers. At a high level, the weekly ad circulars and newspaper advertising can be thought of as reminding the best customers about the offers from their favorite store, and attracting new customers who shop elsewhere. Once a Merchant switches to a customer-specific approach, mass media advertising is no longer the primary communication vehicle. Direct-to-consumer modes become more important: email, web, kiosk, direct mail, mobile device. These modes are less expensive than traditional media; combined with a reduction in print media advertising, Merchants are able to increase profits. The table to the right outlines an example of the savings SmartShop vs. Mass Distro of Ad Flyers a Merchant could expect with SmartShop: Hypothetical Savings – Single Store Current SmartShop Households: The number of households (HH’s) per Loyalty Mass Distro.

It signals that the customer has actually taken in the information presented, a key goal for Merchants. • PBT will earn 2.5¢ per activated offer sheet ($25 CPM), and another 2.5¢ per offer sheet for redemption of any offer at the checkout ($25 CPM) • 75% of HH’s are assumed to view their weekly offer sheets, with email generating the strongest prompt to Members’ activation • Half of activations are assumed to result in redemption at the POS Communications: Digital communication of offers (web, email, mobile) is an expense incurred by PBT. Several pioneers in customer-specific promotions have reduced their conventional advertising without a loss in revenues. Brian Woolf notes the following in Customer Specific Marketing: “One fascinating discovery with differentiated marketing is that traditional print advertising can be cut with no noticeable adverse impact on sales! Both Gregerson’s Foods…and Ukrop’s…have cut their newspaper and other print advertising at least in half. Meanwhile, others, such as Morgan’s Tuckerbag…Dorothy Lane Market…and Green Hills Farms…have eliminated print advertising completely! This works because different customers are targeted with different offers, and newspapers and circulars are poorly suited to communicate these new variable, targeted offers.” FILE: PBT PAY-BY-TOUCH-SMARTSHOP-MRD-1232727738850688-1.DOC VERSION: 1.0 PAGE 22 OF 43 NOTICE OF PROPRIETARY PROPERTY THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL TO .

Based on an average discount amount Total 100% $ 1.54 of 86 cents, that translates into 68 cents going directly to the Source: Deloitte Consulting; TNS Marx FSI Trend Report Merchant per redeemed discount. FSIs, on the other hand, are costs borne by CPGs without Merchant involvement. However, with SmartShop, CPGs are now leveraging the customer data of Merchants and the distribution infrastructure (i.e. kiosks) of Merchants. This change affords an opportunity for Merchants to charge CPGs an offer placement fee. As demonstrated in the next section, CPGs cost for distributing offers via SmartShop will be significantly less than the equivalent distribution via FSIs. So the CPGs arguably have money to spend on offer placement fees. The structure for determining these placement fees can vary depending on the source of the offer: trade promotion dollars or consumer promotion dollars: Trade promotion offers: Trade promotion allowances are a negotiated amount between the Merchant and the CPG. The working assumption is that Merchants will negotiate new fees with CPGs for their inclusion in the SmartShop offer set. Consumer promotion dollars: Because consumer promotion dollars are currently spent outside of the negotiated agreements between Merchants and CPGs, there are different models that could potentially govern the placement of CPG-input offers in customers’ offer sheets. The following are possible models: i. Negotiated: Similar to the trade promotion-based offers, the Merchant enters into an agreement with each CPG that spells out the fees for offers distributed to the Merchant’s customers. ii. Bid System: In this model, CPGs would bid for inclusion of each offer in the distribution to customers. For example, General Mills bids 7.5¢ for inclusion of a Cheerios offer in the Offer Pool, payable per customer offer activation or redemption. CPGs adjust their bids based on a number of factors (e.g. importance of Merchant, prior offer results, special marketing initiatives, etc.). The Merchant uses each CPG’s bid rate as a factor in determining which offers to include in the weekly Offer Pool. iii. No Fee: Merchants hold off on charging under this scenario. Rather, they view deep discount offers from CPGs as the better play in driving increased traffic, higher average baskets and increased gross margins.

    24. 3.1.2 CPGs CPGs will benefit in three ways from SmartShop: • Reduced cost for offer distribution • Improved customer targeting • Reporting and analysis Reduced Cost for Offer Distribution As described previously, CPGs have increased their issuance of FSIs even as consumers are redeeming fewer coupons. The increased production and distribution costs combined with diminished consumer usage of coupons represent a poor ROI for promotional spend. SmartShop offers a way to reduce the costs associated with the distribution of coupons. The table to the right outlines an example of how CPG Offer Distribution Savings Example SmartShop costs less than FSIs. The premise of the FSI SmartShop example is to analyze the costs of getting 405,000 Measure Quantities Pct of Distro Quantities Pct of Distro household redemptions. Distribution 45,000,000 100.0% 2,700,000 100.0% Activation 4,500,000 10.0% 2,025,000 75.0% Distribution: The count of households receiving the Redemption 405,000 0.9% 405,000 15.0% offers. Cost $ 250,000 $ 50,625 (@2.5¢ per activation) • For FSIs, a blanket distribution of 45 million is required. All of these FSIs must be produced and distributed. • SmartShop starts out with a distribution to 2.7 million households. There is no cost for this initial distribution. Activation: The number of households that actually “take in” the offer, recognizing what is being promoted. • “Activating” an FSI is defined as reading it. The 10% rate is an estimate based on grocer ad flyer readership. • Activation of a SmartShop offer is set at 75%, the rate utilized in other calculations herein. Redemption: The number of households redeeming the coupon at the checkout. • For FSIs, the rate is under 1% of distribution, as noted previously. • SmartShop redemption is estimated at 15% of distribution, or 20% of activations (15% / 75%). This assumption translates into an average of two CPG offers redeemed out of every ten. Cost: The cost required to get the 405,000 redemptions. • A typical cost for distribution of 45 million FSIs is $250,000. • The baseline cost for the SmartShop redemptions is tied to the number of activations. The previously described cost of 2.5¢ is used here.

CPGs distribute coupons and provide TPR funds, but have little information on the effectiveness of these promotions. Demographic 85% of CPGs rate trade promotion inefficiency as a very high issue. • Age • Location SmartShop will provide insight to CPGs on the effectiveness of their offers. Offers will be analyzed on both demographic and behavioral bases. CPGs Behavioral will know the impact of different targeting strategies. Over time, the CPG • Product purchase levels can see the impact of changing the dollar amount of the discounts offered. • Purchase categories • Consumer redemption rates The goal of the reports is to give CPGs the data necessary to experiment and refine their customer marketing strategies and to understand the ROI of their trade and consumer promotion efforts.

    26. 3.2 VALUE CHAIN STRUCTURE 3.2.1 Members The value to Members of SmartShop lies in its convenient delivery of relevant savings. These benefits will be delivered as follows: SmartShop Enrollment: Member enrollment in SmartShop should be seamless and with few additional requirements beyond basic Pay By Touch enrollment. Relevant Offers: Offers will be based on a Member’s household shopping history. This will require frequently updated t-log data of high integrity. The targeting of eligible offers must result in consistently relevant promotions for Members. Offer Receipt: Receipt of the (weekly) offers should require a minimum effort on the part of the Member. Members can receive their offers via the web, linking to the offers from a notification email. Upon entry to a store, the experience of picking up the offer sheet must be quick – kiosks should be near the store entry and the wait time to print out the offers should be measured in seconds. Members may also receive offers via mobile device. Offer Tender: Rather than fumble through a wallet or purse to present coupons for swipe at the checkout, Members will automatically receive their discounts at the POS prior to paying. The receipt will display the discounts received. 3.2.2 Merchants The value to Merchants of SmartShop lies in driving increased transaction volume and average basket sizes with higher margins through a lower cost promotion distribution network administered via easy program management. These benefits will be delivered as follows: Offer Setup: Authorized Merchant employee(s) will be able to enter new sets of offers into the SmartShop system via web interface. In addition, Merchants will be able to target offers in such a way as to reward their best customers while avoiding the “cherry picker” shoppers. Targeting: The key to improving existing loyalty programs and reducing effective costs for distribution will be highly effective targeting. Messaging: Because SmartShop works through several customer touch points - email, web, kiosk, mobile, POS, receipt - Merchants will want to ensure a consistent message to their customers. Limited Merchant messaging will be included, formatted for the different communication modes. Monitoring and Administration: Merchants will be able to track the distribution, activation and redemption of offers on a daily basis. SmartShop will honor limits on Member purchases of items at discount. Merchant changes to offers will be updated quickly. SmartShop will alert Merchant if two offers are entered for the same product. Offer Tender: As a Member transacts via Pay By Touch, a Merchant will be able to automatically apply her discounts to the checkout total within the overall payment transaction. Settlement: Critical to ensuring margins and earning revenue via CPG offer placement fees will be settlement services provided by SmartShop. Reporting: Data gained from running promotions to customer segments will be of immense value for Merchants to better understand their customers and their promotions. 3.2.3 CPGs The value to CPGs of SmartShop lies in directly reaching consumers most interested in their products through a lower cost delivery mode administered via easy program management. These benefits will be delivered as follows: FILE: PBT PAY-BY-TOUCH-SMARTSHOP-MRD-1232727738850688-1.DOC VERSION: 1.0 PAGE 26 OF 43 NOTICE OF PROPRIETARY PROPERTY THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL TO .

    27. Offer Setup and Targeting: Authorized CPG employee(s) will be able to enter new sets of offers into the SmartShop system via web interface. In addition, CPGs will be able to target offers to consistent users of their product; users of competitive products; and users with certain demographic and purchasing attributes. Targeting: The key to improving existing loyalty programs and reducing effective costs for distribution will be highly effective targeting. Messaging: Because SmartShop works through several customer touch points – email, web, kiosk, mobile, POS, receipt – CPGs will want to ensure a consistent message to consumers. Limited CPG messaging will be included, formatted for the different communication modes. Monitoring and Administration: CPGs will be able to track the distribution, activation and redemption of offers on a daily basis. SmartShop will honor limits on Member purchases of items at discount. CPG changes to offers will be updated quickly. Offer Tender: As a Member transacts via Pay By Touch, her CPG discounts will be automatically applied to the checkout total within the overall payment transaction. Settlement: Managing the settlement process, with audit functionality, is a critical component to the value of SmartShop. Reporting: CPGs are keenly interested in understanding what drives different consumers to purchase their products. SmartShop reports will provide customer-segmented data to CPGs for analysis of offers. 3.3 COST STRUCTURE SmartShop is a product with a significant service component. As with any technology product, there will be development costs – engineering staff time and possible new software/hardware investments. The total scope of these costs will need to be determined. In addition, delivery of the product is well beyond a “plug- n-play” implementation. Each Merchant’s in-store POS and overall system architecture will require varying levels of customization. While many of the customization costs will be borne by Merchants, Pay By Touch will have a responsibility to provide professional services to see the implementation through. In addition, Merchants and CPGs who are new to the customer-specific marketing model may require strategic and analytical consulting. Kiosks are a critical communication channel; Merchants are expected to bear the cost of these including paper restock. Once built and implemented in a Merchant’s environment, the following are currently identified costs for SmartShop: • Email: PBT will bear the expense for sending out emails to Members with their SmartShop offers • Settlement: PBT may engage a settlement agent for clearing and payment services • Customer Service: PBT personnel to handle issues and inquiries from Merchants, CPGs and Members • Sales & Marketing: SmartShop will be marketed to Merchants and CPGs (collateral, trade shows, industry publications, sales trips) FILE: PBT PAY-BY-TOUCH-SMARTSHOP-MRD-1232727738850688-1.DOC VERSION: 1.0 PAGE 27 OF 43 NOTICE OF PROPRIETARY PROPERTY THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL TO .

    28. 4 USE CASES AND IMPLEMENTATION SCENARIOS 4.1 INTRODUCTION The following use cases describe interactions with SmartShop by Members, Merchants, and CPGs. MEMBERS 4.1.1 Use Case 1: Establish Member Household ID 4.1.1.1 Description PBT Members will be able to link themselves to other PBT Members via a common Household ID. 1. During enrollment or after enrollment, a Member will be presented the opportunity to identify any other PBT Members with which they share a household. 2. The Member will enter the first name, last name and phone number of the shared Household Member. 3. PBT will send a message to the other identified Member notifying him/her of the request to be linked to a common Household. 4. The identified Member will approve or decline the request to be linked. 5. The originating Member will be notified of the approval or decline. 6. For approvals, PBT will establish a common Household ID between the two Members. 4.1.1.2 Justification for Use Case In the retail industry – particularly grocery – customers are tracked at the household level. This is because multiple members of the same household may do the shopping for the entire family. T-log data is tracked for households, and offers will be distributed to all members of a household. 4.1.2 Use Case 2: In-store SmartShop enrollment 4.1.2.1 Description During in-store enrollment into Pay By Touch, a Member will be automatically enrolled in that store’s SmartShop program. Immediately after enrollment and activation, the Member will be presented a SmartShop offer sheet for new customers. 1. Member enters the information needed to enroll in PBT, which is sufficient for setting up a SmartShop account. 2. Member’s new SmartShop account is communicated both to PBT Server and to the Merchant’s customer management database. 3. Member is presented New Member offer sheet at the kiosk, which she can print out. 4. Her discounts are immediately available at the POS when she goes through checkout. 4.1.2.2 Justification for Use Case Leveraging the same information that is entered for PBT to do SmartShop enrollment prevents a Member from having to re-enter the same data twice. In addition, Merchants are expected to be interested in getting as many Members into their loyalty program as possible. Finally, by entering Members automatically into FILE: PBT PAY-BY-TOUCH-SMARTSHOP-MRD-1232727738850688-1.DOC VERSION: 1.0 PAGE 28 OF 43 NOTICE OF PROPRIETARY PROPERTY THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL TO .

    29. SmartShop, they receive immediate gratification in the form of discounts. This immediate gratification will go a long way toward establishing a habit of using PBT by the Member. 4.1.3 Use Case 3: Web-based SmartShop enrollment 4.1.3.1 Description During a web-based PBT enrollment or afterwards, a Member can sign up for all SmartShop programs for which she is eligible. 1. After enrollment or during Member updating to her account, a page of SmartShop programs is presented. The list of SmartShop programs may be governed by certain rules, such as proximity to Member’s home address. 2. Member will check the boxes for the programs she wants to join. She will also indicate whether she wants the loyalty programs to be tracked at the household or individual level. 3. Member’s new SmartShop account(s) are communicated both to PBT Server and to the Merchants’ customer management database(s). 4. Member is presented New Member offer sheet(s) on the web, which she can print out. 5. Her discounts are immediately available at the POS when she goes through checkout. 4.1.3.2 Justification for Use Case Basis for this use case is similar to UC.2, except that the online enrollment environment increases the number of programs that can be presented to the Member. 4.1.4 Use Case 4: Offer Activation 4.1.4.1 Description Before a set of offers can be used at the POS, they must be activated. Activation occurs once the Member views her offers online or at the kiosk, or clicks a URL in the offer email. Activation makes the discounts available to the Member at the POS. 1. (a) Member activates offers by viewing them on the web or clicking URL in offer email (b) Member activates offers by viewing them at an in-store kiosk (c) Member activates offers by affirmatively replying to a SMS text message displaying the offers 2. PBT SmartShop server records the activation, making the offers “live” and eligible for redemption at the POS. 3. When Member purchases offer-eligible products, her discounts are recognized by the Merchant POS during checkout. 4.1.4.2 Justification for Use Case Without activation, the value of discounts is entirely lost. Consumer will not see the discounts, and may not buy the advertised product. Or if she does, she is buying a product she wanted anyway and the Merchant/CPG just gave away money. The discounts are seen only after the transaction is concluded. 4.1.5 Use Case 5: Offer redemption 4.1.5.1 Description At checkout, the Member will receive her discounts without any additional effort on her part. 1. Member purchases products listed on her SmartShop offer sheet. 2. Cashier scans the UPCs of products in the Member’s basket.

    30. 3. UPCs eligible for discounts will be identified and matched to their discounts. 4. Discounts will be processed through the ECR and the transaction total will be reduced accordingly. 5. Member pays for her purchase. 6. The tendered discounts are communicated back to the PBT SmartShop server in real-time or near real-time. 4.1.5.2 Justification for Use Case Application of discounts at transaction time is a critical success factor. Members should receive discounts at checkout to reduce extend their purchasing power and without real-time application of offers, Members could re-use discounts multiple times. 4.1.6 Use Case 6: Offer limit management 4.1.6.1 Description Offers will be established with limits, so as to manage the total amount of discount provided. After a Member redeems an offer, the quantity of product eligible for the discount will be reduced by the number of items purchased. 1. Member receives offer for $1.00 off cereal, limit 2. 2. She purchases three boxes of cereal. 3. She receives $1.00 off on two of the three boxes at the POS. 4. After completing the transaction, the PBT SmartShop server is updated with the purchase quantity. The limit on the cereal is reduced, in this case to 0. 5. No more cereal can be bought at the discount for the duration of the offer period. 4.1.6.2 Justification for Use Case If limits are not followed, the Merchant and CPG would pay out too much for the promotion and Pay By Touch would risk liability for the error. 4.1.7 Use Case 7: Biometric auth fails - kiosk 4.1.7.1 Description Member goes to kiosk to retrieve her offers. Biometric auth fails, leaving her unable to activate her offers and use the offer list as a basis for shopping. 1. Member walks up to kiosk, places her finger on the reader. 2. The biometric fails after several attempts. 3. Member enters her 10-digit phone number. 4. The offers associated with the phone number (which is linked to the PBT Wallet) are returned to the kiosk. 5. Her offers are now available for redemption at the POS. 4.1.7.2 Justification for Use Case Biometric auth failures will continue to be an issue for a while. These failures can turn a Member off if she must pay more for her purchases than she should.

THE POSSESSOR AGREES TO MAINTAIN THIS DOCUMENT IN CONFIDENCE AND NOT TO REPRODUCE, COPY, REVEAL OR PUBLISH IT IN WHOLE OR IN PART.
    31. 4.1.8 Use Case 8: Biometric auth fails – In Lane 4.1.8.1 Description Member attempts in lane biometric auth to complete a transaction. The auth fails, making the SmartShop offers inaccessible at the POS. While the Member can use other payment options, she is unable to tap her offers. To prevent a potential blow-up situation that affects both the Merchant and PBT, the cashier needs a reliable backup plan that quickly resolves the issue. 1. Member attempts biometric auth to complete transaction and receive her SmartShop discounts. 2. Auth fails, making the SmartShop offers inaccessible. 3. Member agrees to pay via the cards in her physical wallet, but still wants her discounts. 4. Member enters her 10-digit phone number. 5. The offers associated with the phone number (which is linked to the PBT Wallet) are returned to the POS. Note that only the offers, no other elements of her Wallet are returned (i.e. checking account info, credit cards, debit, etc). 6. Her offers are recognized for eligible purchases and the discounts are applied accordingly. 4.1.8.2 Justification for Use Case The scenario above describes one possible way to address the issue of an in-lane failure of biometric auth. The driver for this use case is that loss of the ability to get her discounts is a real loss of money to a Member, caused by Pay By Touch. This cannot happen. In the noisy, fast paced environment of a store, a cashier needs a quick, consistent way to handle this issue. 4.1.9 Use Case 9: Offer reminder alerts 4.1.9.1 Description Members will be able to set their preferences for reminders regarding their offers. The alerts communicate remaining offers to Members and the date of expiration for the discounts. 1. Member logs in to MyPBT. 2. She clicks on the Loyalty Programs tab. 3. She clicks a specific Merchant’s SmartShop program. 4. She clicks ‘Preferences’. 5. She checks that she wishes to receive reminders regarding her unexpired, unused offers. 6. She sets ‘Thursday’ as her day of the week to receive these alerts. 7. She checks ‘Email’ as one mode for receiving these alerts. The email address associated with her Member Profile is used for these alerts. 8. She checks ‘Mobile’ as a second mode for receiving the reminders. She enters her mobile device phone number. 4.1.9.2 Justification for Use Case Offer reminders demonstrate the power of SmartShop’s digital communication modes relative to existing undifferentiated mass distribution of ad flyers and FSIs. The reminders are a helpful way of letting the Member know that she has discounts available to her for items she regularly buys, but that she may be at risk of losing the offers if not used by the weekend. Merchants and CPGs are expected to view reminder functionality as a powerful component of the SmartShop offering.

    32. 4.1.10 Use Case 10: View SmartShop offer history 4.1.10.1 Description Member will be able to see her history of Albertsons SmartShop Savings offer redemptions via the MyPBT portal.

In addition, by showing the discounts received, the value of shopping with the Merchant is reinforced, as well as the value of using Pay By Touch to access SmartShop. This is a good example of how Pay By Touch extends a Member’s purchasing power. OFFER ENTRY AND DISTRIBUTION 4.1.11 Use Case 11: Export t-log, customer data and product hierarchy 4.1.11.1 Description Merchant establishes the t-log and customer data export files per PBT’s specs and transfers them weekly to PBT’s SmartShop server. 1. Merchant is provided with export file requirements: data contents, formats (XML, delimited), etc. 2. Merchant utilizes existing export functionality of its database applications or hires a third party (e.g. database vendor) to customize the export functionality. 3. After establishing the file contents and format, and the export functionality, Merchant sets up a weekly export of files to PBT. 4. Merchant will receive confirmation information and any error reporting after each weekly export of t- logs, customer data and product hierarchy. 4.1.11.2 Justification for Use Case T-logs, customer data and product hierarchies are the fuel that makes SmartShop run. PBT will need to be prepared for a variety of software applications that will contain the necessary data. The goal is a standard methodology for the export of data that requires no import customization on the part of PBT.

    33. 4.1.12 Use Case 12: Merchant selects and implements customer database marketing application 4.1.12.1 Description Merchants without an existing loyalty program will need to implement a customer database marketing application. The application tracks customers’ spending, and applies analytics to segment the customer population. These segmentations are a basis for distributing offers to Members. 1. Pay By Touch identifies best partner(s) to provide this application. 2. Pay By Touch and Vendor exchange technical information. 3. Pay By Touch works with Merchant to advise in selection customer database marketing app. 4. Merchant installs customer database marketing app. 5. Merchant implements SmartShop. 4.1.12.2 Justification for Use Case If a Merchant does not track customer purchases – i.e. via loyalty card – the fundamental value proposition of SmartShop is invalid. Merchants without existing loyalty cards are the “low hanging fruit” for sales efforts, but they will need technology to segment their customers and to track their purchases. 4.1.13 Use Case 13: Merchant creates offer 4.1.13.1 Description Merchant enters an individual offer into the Merchant ‘Create Offer’ Screen SmartShop application. Current Green Hills Implementation 1.Authorized Merchant employee logs in to SmartShop Offer Builder, selects ‘Create Offer’. 2.Employee names the offer – this name is for internal tracking purposes only. For example, Merchant may want to create a Diamond Customer Coke $1.00 Offer and an Opal Customer Coke $0.50 Offer. 3.Employee selects the applicable UPC code(s) for the promoted product(s). Selection may be done via a hierarchical list of pre-loaded UPCs, search or directly entered UPCs. 4.During the UPC selection process, associated product images will be displayed. For each communication mode (kiosk, web, email, mobile), the Employee will choose the single image which will be used in communicating the offer. Kiosk, for example, may have a gray-scale image while the web will have a full-color version. 5.Employee enters the Offer Description. This is the text which provides the product(s) promoted, along with any size information. The Offer Description can vary based on the communication mode (web, kiosk, email, mobile). 6.Employee enters the applicable dollar discount per item, as well as the item limits for the duration of the promotion.

THE POSSESSOR AGREES TO MAINTAIN THIS DOCUMENT IN CONFIDENCE AND NOT TO REPRODUCE, COPY, REVEAL OR PUBLISH IT IN WHOLE OR IN PART.
    34. 7.The offer distribution strategy is selected. Strategies essentially look for a reference group of previously purchased UPCs to determine customer interest in a given offer. The reference group of UPCs for an offer may be narrow or wide. For example, a narrow reference group for a Bud Light 6- pack offer would be the Bud Light 6-pack UPC. A broad reference group for the Budweiser 6-pack offer would be all beer UPCs. The basis for determining these reference groups is the Merchant’s product hierarchy. A product hierarchy example is presented below. From this hierarchy, strategies are executed. The available strategies are: • Reward: Narrowest strategy. Offer is targeted to customers Sample Product Hierarchy Beer Categories buying exactly the UPC(s) listed in the offer. • Category: A bit broader than Reward. The offer is distributed based on customer purchases one-level up from the UPC level. For example, the Bud Light 6-pack offer would be distributed to frequent purchasers of any ‘Beer-Domestic’ UPCs. • Introduction: Broader than Category. The offer is distributed based on customer purchases two-levels up from the UPC level. For example, the Bud Light 6-pack offer would be distributed to frequent purchasers of any ‘Beer’ UPCs. • Up-sell: Similar to Category, except that only purchasers of UPCs at a lower price than the offer UPC(s) are targeted for distribution. Alternatively, an Employee can create his own set of reference UPCs for use in the Up-sell strategy. • Custom: Freedom to create, name and save custom UPC reference groups. Examples of custom strategies include: (i) distributing a baby food offer to buyers of diaper UPCs; (ii) distributing a Wisk detergent offer to buyers of Tide; (iii) distributing a Hamburger Helper offer to buyers of ground beef; and (iv) distributing an offer for a new organic soup to buyers of other organic products. 8.The total number of offers to be distributed is entered. In addition, the customer segments and lifestyle groups (from the Merchant’s customer database marketing application) are selected. Offers will only be distributed to those customer segments/lifestyle groups, up to the distribution limit. 9.Employee saves offer; SmartShop creates a tracking ID for the offer. 4.1.13.2 Justification for Use Case This is a basic requirement for the application – creating offers. The distribution strategies are a key component of making the offers relevant to customers.

    36. 4.1.14.2 Justification for Use Case CPGs are the primary revenue drivers for SmartShop. The ability to enter offers is a critical factor in the product’s success. Use of the Customer strategy is expected to be quite popular with CPGs, and will require CPG access to each Merchant’s product hierarchy. 4.1.15 Use Case 15: Merchant creates Offer Pool 4.1.15.1 Description Create Offer Pool Screen Mockup Merchant creates an Offer Pool.

These are the offers made available by the CPGs for the upcoming week. SmartShop automatically aggregates these offers to be included in the weekly Offer Pool for targeting to the Merchant’s customer database. From this list, he has a sense of what offers will appear in the Members’ offer sheets. 4.Employee then searches through the list of previously created offers in the Merchant Offer Library. This list includes any new offers just created by the Employee. 5.Once he finds an offer he likes, the Employee drags the offer from the Merchant Offer Library to the Merchant Offers box. The associated information (name, discount, strategy, etc.) for the offer is automatically populated. 6.Once the Employee has added all the offers he wants, he clicks ‘Continue’. 7.SmartShop performs a duplicate UPC search. If two offers are found to contain the same UPC code, the Employee is alerted to this situation. He can then accept the duplicate UPCs or make appropriate adjustments to the Offer Pool. 8.After clarifying how to handle any duplicate UPC codes, the Employee clicks ‘Continue’ again. SmartShop creates the Offer Pool and assigns an Offer Pool ID. 4.1.15.2 Justification for Use Case Offer pools are the vehicle for distributing the selected offers to the customer database such that each Member receives up to 20 apiece. The Merchant has no control over the CPG-entered offers. These are handled by SmartShop’s targeting engine rules.

    37. 4.1.16 Use Case 16: Offer Pool is distributed to customers 4.1.16.1 Description After finalizing the Offer Pool, the Merchant Employee sends it to the SmartShop targeting engine for a two- step distribution process. 1. Targeting engine receives the Offer Pool. 2. Offers, subject to their parameters (strategy, customer segments, distribution limits, discount amounts), are preliminarily distributed to the Merchant customer base. Each customer’s purchase history is statistically analyzed for likelihood of interest in a given offer. 3. Merchant Employee is presented 7th Street Software ReVision Screen with a screen showing the preliminary offer distribution. In 7th Street’s LoyaltySuite this is called the “ReVision” screen. The screen tells the Employee: • Assigned limits per offer • Number of eligible households, based on customer segments assigned (e.g. Diamond, Ruby, etc.) • Modeled distribution of offers, which tells the number of households that would receive a given offer. • Markdown cost is based on the modeled number of households receiving the offer multiplied by the discount amount. • Merchant Employee can use an on-screen slider (“ReVision” column in graphic above) to alter the number of offers made available to change the modeled number of households receiving the offer. He can only do this for Merchant-entered offers. • CPGs will not be able to access the ReVision screen. 4. After he is satisfied with the preliminary distribution of offers, the Merchant Employee commands the SmartShop targeting engine to execute the final distribution of offers. After this execution, the Offer Pool is considered targeted. 5. The targeted offers per household are then forwarded to the SmartShop Server. 4.1.16.2 Justification for Use Case The core engine of SmartShop is the targeting function. This targeting process is what makes the offer relevant to customers.

    38. 4.1.17 Use Case 17: Targeted Offer Pool is published 4.1.17.1 Description The offers are made available for viewing by customers via three communication modes prior to the Offer Pool Effective Date: email, web, mobile. Communication via the fourth mode, kiosk, occurs starting on the Effective Date. 1. The kiosk, email and web display of the offers Proposed Offer Sheet Templates will be based on one of three templates for each 1 Offer Ad customer: 2 Offer Ads No Offer Ads • 20 regular-sized offers • 19 regular-sized offers, 1 ad-offer • 18 regular-sized offer, 2 ad-offers 2. Email and mobile distribution preferences are used as parameters for distribution of the Offer Sheet: • Email address • Mobile device number • Preferred receipt date 4.1.17.2 Justification for Use Case The communication of the offers is a critical component for Member activation and redemption of offers. 4.1.18 Use Case 18: Merchant is paid for CPG fees and discounts 4.1.18.1 Description Merchants will accept the CPG-funded discounts at the POS for each Member. There will be a weekly settlement of these discounts and the fees the CPG owes to the Merchant. 1. At the end of each week, SmartShop will tally the offers redeemed by Members: • Tracked by offer ID • Quantity of offers redeemed • Total dollars provided by the Merchant in the form of discounts • Total CPG Placement Fees and Offer Ad Fees owed to the Merchant • Report displaying each Member activation by Member SmartShop ID, date, time and communication mode; and each redemption by date, Member SmartShop ID, time, location and transaction ID. 2. The Offer Activation and Redemption Report will be provided to the Merchant for their records and for them to audit against their own records as appropriate. 3. The individual Reports will be provided to each CPG for their review and to prepare ACH batch payment. 4. Money will flow from the CPGs to the Merchant in one of two ways: a. CPGs will transfer the funds to Pay By Touch. Pay By Touch will then transfer the funds to the Merchant one day later. b. CPGs and the Merchant will work with a third party Settlement Agent. Pay By Touch will provide the documentation to the Settlement Agent, who will validate the payments from the CPGs to the Merchant.

    39. 4.1.18.2 Justification for Use Case Merchants must be made whole for the discounts they accept and the revenue they’ve earned. 4.1.19 Use Case 19: Merchants and CPGs use results of prior offers to set new offers for the future 4.1.19.1 Description Over time, both Merchants and CPGs will learn what works and what doesn’t in setting targeted discounts for products. From this information, they can improve the efficacy of their future promotions. 1. SmartShop’s reporting engine performs analytics on Members’ redemption of offers and their pre- offer and post-offer purchasing behavior. 2. The analytics also provide insight based on customer demographics and purchasing characteristics. 4.1.19.2 Justification for Use Case Information gained from running these promotions through SmartShop is a key value proposition for both Merchants and CPGs.
