ADDENDUM TO THE AREA DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT REQUIRED FOR THE STATE OF ILLINOIS

This Addendum pertains to franchises sold in the State of Illinois and is for the purpose of complying with Illinois statutes and regulations. Notwithstanding anything which may be contained in the body of the Area Development Agreement to the contrary, the Agreement is amended as follows:

1. The following sentence is hereby added to the end of Section 3.A, Development Fee:

Due to the financial condition of the Franchisor, the Illinois Attorney General's Office has required a financial assurance. Therefore, we have posted a surety bond which is on file with the Illinois Attorney General's Office. A copy of the surety bond is attached as an exhibit to the Illinois addenda pages.

1. The first sentence of Section 10.H is deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted:

Subject to Section 10.N, any cause of action, claim, suit or demand allegedly arising from or related to the terms of this Agreement or the relationship of the parties must be brought in the Illinois federal or state court for the Designated Area in which you are located.

• 1. The Acknowledgment Addendum attached to the Area Development Agreement (and specifically stating that it is not for use in the State of Illinois) is unenforceable under Illinois law because it may have the effect of forcing a franchisee to waive or release certain rights that you as a franchisee have under the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act, 815 IL § 705.
• 1. Section 10.G (1) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Applicable Law and Waiver. Subject to our rights under federal trademark laws and the parties' rights under the Federal Arbitration Act in accordance with Section 15.01 of this Agreement, the parties' rights under this Agreement, and the relationship between the parties is governed by, and will be interpreted in accordance with, the laws (statutory and otherwise) of Illinois.
