For an All Dogs Unleashed franchise, what is the process for requesting approval to purchase from an unapproved supplier?

BACKGROUND

• A. We and our affiliates, as the result of the expenditure of time, skill, effort and money, own and continue to develop a franchise system (the "System") involving the establishment and operation of franchised facilities (each, a "Facility"), that offer one-stop dog shop specializing in dog training, daycare, boarding, and grooming.
• B. The characteristics of the System may include, without limitation, sales and operating methods; interior and exterior Facility design; décor; layout; fixtures and furnishings; equipment; class structure and instruction; customer service and development techniques; uniform standards and procedures for efficient business operations; training and assistance; Brand Funds; pricing specifications; all of which we may, at times, change, improve and further develop from time to time.
• C. We identify the System by means of certain trade names, service marks, trademarks, logos, emblems and indicia of origin, including, but not limited to, the mark ALL DOGS UNLEASHED*®* and the All Dogs Unleashed® logo, and/or any other different and/or additional trade names, trademarks, and service marks as we now designate and later designate in writing for use in the System (the "Marks").
• D. We have the right to establish "Specifications" for various aspects of the System, including, without limitation, specifications on location selection, the Facility's physical characteristics, operating procedures, products and services offered, supplier qualifications, training, marketing and other aspects that affect and/or relate to the experience of System customers. You must comply with our Specifications, which we have the right to (and expect to) change and modify over time.
• E. You have had an adequate opportunity to be thoroughly advised of the terms of this Agreement and have had sufficient time and opportunity to evaluate and investigate the business concept and the procedures and financial requirements associated with the business and the competitive market in which it operates.
• F. You want to obtain the right to open multiple Facilities within a specific geographic area, and we are willing to grant this right on the terms stated in this Agreement.
