Prior to the Opening Deadline, Key Personnel shall successfully complete a training program conducted by employees or representatives of Franchisor or its Affiliates ("Training Program") at such Camp Margaritaville Resort or other Margaritaville-branded venue as selected by Franchisor in its sole discretion. The duration of the Training Program shall be as determined by Franchisor in its sole discretion to enable Key Personnel to operate and manage the Resort. The average duration of such Training Program is approximately 3 weeks. Without limiting Section 3.01(e), Franchisor shall not charge Franchisee any costs or expenses related to the operation of the training venue and its employees used for the Training Program.

Franchisor shall determine, in its sole discretion, the quantity of resources needed. All costs arising from or related to Franchisor's Task Force personnel shall be the responsibility of Franchisor, provided that Franchisee shall provide complimentary lodging to such personnel during the Task Force period. All other costs associated with the Task Force, including costs related to the lodging, per diem, travel expenses, and any other costs related to the Resort's use of the Trainers shall be the responsibility of Franchisee.

Further, with respect to the Task Force, if you are not able to demonstrate compliance with Franchisor's System Standards, as determined in Franchisor's sole discretion, after 14 days of training at the Resort, then the Task Force may stay longer until Franchisee is able to demonstrate compliance with System Standards, as determined in Franchisor's sole discretion.
