We can provide a form for this required written agreement, however, our form is subject to review by your attorney for compliance with all local laws and rules. You must forward to us a copy of each such signed agreement.

The business-related portion of the Initial Training ("Business Training") will take place at a location and time that Franchisor designates, and only after you have executed a lease for the Franchised Business, provided, however, that Franchisor reserves the right to delay this portion of the Initial Training program until such time as you have completed all pre-initial training items set forth in the Manuals.

Up to two individuals may attend the "Business Training" portion of the Initial Training program without additional charge. If the Principal Owner is not the General Manager, both the Principal Owner and the General Manager must attend the Business Training. If the General Manager is also the Principal Owner, then one other employee may attend without charge. At your request, Franchisor may permit additional individuals to attend the Business Training, subject to space availability and payment of Franchisor's then-current tuition. You are responsible for all costs and expenses of complying with Franchisor's Business Training requirements including, without limitation, tuition and registration costs, and salary, travel, lodging, and dining costs for all of your employees who participate in and attend the Business Training".
