Franchisee may terminate this Agreement if Franchisee is in substantial compliance with this Agreement and Franchisor materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such material breach within 90 days after written notice thereof is delivered to Franchisor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the breach is curable but is of a nature which cannot reasonably be cured with such 90 day period and Franchisor has commenced and is continuing to make good faith efforts to cure such breach, Franchisor shall be given an additional 60 day period to cure the same, and this Agreement shall not terminate.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cinnaholic Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may terminate the agreement if they are in substantial compliance with the agreement and Cinnaholic materially breaches the agreement. In this case, the franchisee must provide Cinnaholic with 90 days written notice to allow them to cure the breach.
However, if the breach is curable but cannot reasonably be cured within 90 days, and Cinnaholic has commenced and is continuing to make good faith efforts to cure the breach, Cinnaholic is granted an additional 60-day period to resolve the issue. During this extended period, the franchise agreement will not be terminated, giving Cinnaholic more time to rectify the breach.
This clause provides a Cinnaholic franchisee with a structured process for terminating the agreement if Cinnaholic fails to meet its obligations. The notice and cure periods are designed to allow Cinnaholic an opportunity to fix any issues, potentially avoiding termination and maintaining the franchise relationship. This is a fairly standard clause in franchise agreements, intended to balance the interests of both parties.
