What is the duration of the partial restriction under the alternative post-term non-competition covenant for Annex Brands franchisees?

As an alternative to Subsection 3(b)(iii) above, and only if the applicable former Center is located in a state whose public policy disfavors the enforceability of postterm non-competition covenants against franchisees, then on the Conclusion of the Franchise under the Franchise Agreement, in accordance with the time period and geographic restrictions set forth below, Covenantor will not directly or indirectly (such as through corporations or other entities controlled by Covenantor or by, through or in conjunction with, any other individual person or persons including but not limited to Covenantor's spouse if any, relatives, employees or business affiliates), own, maintain, engage in, be associated with, be employed by, advise, assist, invest in, be landlord to, franchise, make loans to, or have any interest in any business which is the same, competes with, or is substantially similar to Franchisee's Center, and:

• i. which sells packaging and shipping services (which constitute only a limited portion of all products and services sold by Franchisee's Center);

• ii. which is located at the premises of Franchisee's Center; and

• iii. with such partial restriction limited to a six (6) month period following the Conclusion of the Franchise under the Franchise Agreement.

• d.

ABI may (in its sole discretion) at any time unilaterally reduce the scope of any part of the post-term non-competition covenant to something less than the restriction provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, and Covenantor agrees and promises to comply with any such reduced restriction on receipt of written notice from ABI.
