Answer from 2024 FDD Document

required to participate in our initial training program in Minnesota (the "Initial Training"). The General Manager of

your Franchised Restaurant, your Approved Operator (if applicable), and at least two other management level employees who will work in the Restaurant must attend the Initial Training, which will generally last for three weeks, subject to modification from time to time in our sole discretion. Franchisees who are individuals and the Operating Partner or other representative approved by us of franchisees that are Entities must also attend and participate in the first week of the Initial Training. All attendees must complete the Initial Training to our satisfaction. We will not charge any fees for the first four (4) members of your training group to attend the Initial Training. We may charge our then-current fee for any additional members of the training group that you send to the Initial Training, as well as for you and your personnel attending any additional training programs (whether optional or mandatory). You will be responsible for all compensation and expenses (including travel, meals and lodging) incurred by you and your training group in attending any training programs. In addition to the Initial Training, a member of our staff will provide additional training to you, your Operating Partner, your General Manager, your Approved Operator (if applicable), your assistant managers, and your employees at the Premises of your Franchised Restaurant during the week of the opening of your Franchised Restaurant, which may include one or more days prior to opening and one or more days of live training after opening (the "Opening Training").

We may provide additional training from time to time because (i) we have determined, in our sole discretion, that further training beyond the Opening Training is necessary to ensure a smooth opening of your Franchised Restaurant, (ii) we have determined, in our sole discretion, to provide additional types of required training to our franchisees generally, or (iii) you have requested additional training (collectively, "Additional Training"). If Additional Training is conducted, you will be required to reimburse us for our costs, including without limitation lodging, meals and travel arrangements of the trainers and other reasonable expenses, and pay us $500 per day for each individual we provide to assist you. You will be responsible for all compensation and expenses incurred by you and your personnel in connection with the Opening Training and any Additional Training, regardless of where it is conducted.

You must immediately replace any manager who fails to successfully complete any training program to our satisfaction or who otherwise is not qualified to manage a Restaurant. You acknowledge and agree that the Initial Training, the Opening Training, and any Additional Training programs are provided to you and your personnel to protect our brand and the Marks and not to control the day-to-day operation of the Franchised Restaurant. We may, in our discretion, waive in whole or in part the requirement that any person attend the Initial Training or any other training if such person has already completed the Initial Training in the immediately preceding twelve (12) months in connection with the opening or operation of a different CRISP & GREEN Restaurant.

4.02 On-Going Guidance. We will furnish you periodic guidance with respect to the System, including improvements and changes to the System.
