We currently do not have, but reserve the right to form, one or more franchise advisory councils ("FAC") to advise us on advertising policies. The FAC would be governed by bylaws. The purpose of the FAC would be to provide input regarding the Advertising Fund and to promote communication between us and all franchisees. Members of the FAC would consist of both franchisees and corporate representatives. Members of the FAC would be selected by way of a voting method specified in the FAC's bylaws. The FAC would serve in an advisory capacity only. We will have the power to form, change, or dissolve the FAC, in our sole discretion.
