What is the purpose of the Brand Fund for Big Frog Custom T Shirts More?

Franchisor has established a national fund on behalf of the System for national advertising, marketing, and brand development (the "Brand Fund").

Franchisee is required to contribute a percentage of the Gross Revenue generated monthly by Franchisee's Franchised Business to the Brand Fund, as determined by Franchisor ("Brand Fund Contribution").

Franchisor reserves the right, in Franchisor's sole discretion and at any time and from time to time, to increase the amount of the Brand Fund Contribution to any amount not to exceed one and a half percent (1.5%) of Franchisee's Gross Revenue.

Payments will be made in the same manner and time as the Royalty Fees.

If Franchisee fails to timely report Gross Revenue, then, in addition to a late fee and interest pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof, Franchisor shall collect one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the last Brand Fund Contribution payable.

Franchisor shall reconcile amounts when Gross Revenues are reported.

• 13.3.2 Franchisor shall direct the Brand Fund and shall have sole discretion to approve or disapprove the creative concepts, materials and media used in such programs and the placement and allocation thereof.
