Franchisor will assist Franchisee in the interviewing of an Initial Service Manager. Franchisor may, but is not required to, offer additional training. If Franchisor offers additional training, it may, in its sole discretion, make such additional training mandatory for the Franchisee's Principal Operator and Initial Service Manager or any successor to the Initial Service Manager. The additional training will take place at such locations as Franchisor reasonably selects, and Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that the reasonableness of the locations will be determined by Franchisor based on a wide variety of factors, including without limitation the locations of all franchisees participating in the training and the location of the available training facilities. Franchisor may establish such fees for the additional training, as Franchisor in its sole discretion deems appropriate.
