The fee will be used for support of various technology services that Franchisor may provide to Franchisee in its sole discretion. The amount of the fee, frequency, date and method of collection, are subject to change in Franchisor's sole discretion, after at least 15 days' prior notice to Franchisee. See Subsection 9.C.
