Is a franchisee required to sign Eos Worldwide's form of Franchise Agreement?

You must sign our form of Franchise Agreement ("Franchise Agreement"), in the form attached to this Disclosure Document as Exhibit A. If you operate your franchise using a legal entity, then your entity (the "Operating Entity" or as referred to in the Franchise Agreement, your "Business Entity") must either sign the Franchise Agreement or otherwise agree to abide by the terms of the Franchise Agreement by signing our form of Joinder to Franchise Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Franchise Agreement. An Operating Entity may have multiple owners, equity holders, shareholders, partners or members, but you must act as the sole decisionmaker and point person for the Operating Entity and only you may provide EOS Services to Clients as the "EOS Implementer" (or "Implementer") and therefore only you may attend our Implementer trainings. If you use an Operating Entity for your Franchised Business, you must own and control the Operating Entity (with at least a 51% ownership interest unless we permit otherwise). You may also determine that you want or need additional operators, managers, employees, personnel or administrative staff to assist you in operating the Franchised Business, but these individuals may not provide functions required by an Implementer, including providing any Clients with implementation Services as described in the Operations Manual ("Implementer Services").
