If I am in a franchise registration state, where can I find the state addendum for the Aw franchise?
Aw Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Some administrators of franchise registration states may require us to enter into an addendum to the Disclosure Document and/or the Franchise Agreement describing certain state laws or regulations which may supersede the Disclosure Document or Franchise Agreement. If you are in a registration state which requires an addendum, it will be found in this exhibit.

Source: Item 22 — CONTRACTS (FDD pages 39–40)
What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are in a franchise registration state that requires an addendum to the Disclosure Document or the Franchise Agreement, it will be located in Exhibit F of the FDD. These addenda include specific state laws or regulations that may supersede the standard terms outlined in the main Disclosure Document or Franchise Agreement. Exhibit F is titled "STATE ADDENDUM."
It is important to check Exhibit F if you are franchising in a registration state to understand any modifications or clarifications to the standard franchise terms. For example, the FDD includes an addendum for the state of Illinois that modifies several sections of the standard agreement. These modifications address issues such as governing law, jurisdiction, franchisee rights upon termination or non-renewal, and conditions regarding waivers of compliance with the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act.
Prospective Aw franchisees should carefully review any state-specific addenda in Exhibit F to fully understand their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement within their specific state. If no addendum is present for your state, the standard terms of the Franchise Agreement apply without modification.
