How often does the Big Apple Bagels franchisor modify the minimum standards and specifications?

• iv. Franchisor may, from time to time, modify the minimum standards and specifications and/or the list of approved brands and/or suppliers. If Franchisee proposes to use or offer any food products or beverages, other products or services, ingredients or supplies (other than those which must be purchased pursuant to Paragraph 9.b.i.) which do not comply with Franchisor's then-current minimum standards or specifications or which are purchased from a supplier that has not been approved, Franchisee shall first notify Franchisor in writing and submit sufficient information, specifications and samples concerning such item or supplier for determination by Franchisor as to whether such item complies with Franchisor's specifications and standards, and/or whether the supplier meets Franchisor's approved supplier criteria. Franchisor shall have the right to charge Franchisee a reasonable fee to cover Franchisor's costs incurred in making such determination. Franchisor shall, within sixty (60) days, notify Franchisee whether or not such proposed item or supplier is approved. Franchisor may from time to time prescribe procedures for submission of requests for approval of items or suppliers and obligations which approved suppliers must assume (which may be incorporated into a written agreement to be executed by approved suppliers). Franchisor may impose limits on the number of suppliers and/or brands for any ingredient or food or beverage product used or served by the BAGELS Store. Franchisor may collect a service fee on items purchased by Franchisee through national marketing contracts negotiated and maintained by Franchisor. Such service fee shall be established and paid to the Marketing Fund in the manner prescribed from time to time by Franchisor.
