sale all products and services required by us; (iii) refrain from any deviation from the Standards and Specifications of the System without our consent or advertising or performing any services outside your Designated Area; and (iv) discontinue selling or offering any products and services to which we may, in our sole discretion, fail to consent or revoke our consent, in writing.
- 6.08 You shall purchase our proprietary products from us or our Designated Supplier at a reasonable price established by us or our supplier. You acknowledge that we may profit from the sale of proprietary products to you and receive consideration from the supplier with respect to your purchases of such proprietary products by you.
- 6.09 During the Term of this Agreement, you shall (a) repair, maintain, and keep the interior and exterior of your Restaurant (and all fixtures, furnishings, signs, menu boards, equipment, sidewalks, walkways, and parking lots) in good order and first-class condition and repair and in compliance with the Standards and Specifications of the System and all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances, and (b) as reasonably required by us, upgrade your Restaurant to the then-current Standards and Specifications of the System. Such upgrade to renovate and modernize your Restaurant's building, premises, signs, and equipment shall be done at our request, but not more than once every five (5) years to conform to the building design, trade dress, color scheme, and presentation of our Trademarks consistent with the current image of Restaurants using the Beyond Juicery + Eatery System, provided, however, that the cost of each renovation and modernization shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). You must renovate, repair, and alter the exterior and interior of your premises at your own expense as reasonably directed by us. If you fail to make such required renovations within thirty (30) days after your receipt of written notice from us setting forth the specific repairs or alterations that are required, then we, without being guilty in any manner of trespass, fault or negligence, and without prejudice to any of the other remedies we have, may have such repairs or alterations completed to maintain your Restaurant in accordance with our required standards. If this occurs, you must immediately reimburse us for all costs we incur to make such renovations, repairs, or alterations. You will indemnify and hold us, our franchisees, and affiliates harmless from all fines, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, damages, liabilities or costs, including, without limitation, actual attorneys' fees,
arising out of any Action or proceeding of any kind or nature that arises or grows out of or is in any way connected to the construction, renovation, or operation by you of your Restaurant. This renovation and remodeling obligation is separate and apart from any remodeling required as a condition of your renewal of this Agreement under Section 16.
- 6.10 You shall acquire all inventory, supplies, and other products, materials required for the operation and maintenance of the Restaurant, and all other Approved Supplies solely from Approved Suppliers. If you want to do otherwise, you must comply with section 5.06 of this Agreement and the Operations Manuals. We may, in the exercise of our business judgment, enter into supply contracts for all Restaurants or a subset of Restaurants situated within one (1) or more geographic regions (each, a "system-wide supply contract"). We may enter into system-wide supply contracts with one or more suppliers of products, services, equipment that all affiliateowned and franchised Restaurants in a geographic area will be required to purchase, use, or sell. If we do so, then immediately upon notification, you, us and all other franchise Restaurants in the geographic area must purchase the specified product, service, or equipment only from the Designated Supplier. However, if at the time of our notification, you are already a party to a nonterminable supply contract with another supplier or vendor for the product, service, or equipment, then your obligation to purchase from our Designated Supplier under the system-wide supply contract will not begin until the scheduled expiration (or earlier termination) of your pre-existing supply contract. We make no representation that we will enter into any system-wide supply contracts or other exclusive supply arrangements or, if we do so, that you would not otherwise be able to purchase the same products and/or services at a lower price from another supplier. We may add to, modify, substitute, or discontinue system-wide supply contracts or exclusive supply arrangements in the exercise of our business judgment.
- 6.11 We will provide you with electronic access to the Operations Manuals. You acknowledge our ownership of these Operations Manuals and any copyright rights in or to the Operations Manuals.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisees must adhere to specific standards and specifications to maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations. This includes keeping both the interior and exterior of the restaurant in good condition, following all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances. Franchisees are also required to upgrade their restaurants to meet the current system standards, potentially involving renovations and modernizations, at Beyond Juicery Eatery's request, but not more than once every five years, with costs not exceeding $100,000.
Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisees must purchase proprietary products from Beyond Juicery Eatery or its designated suppliers at prices established by them.
