FRANCHISOR'S ASSISTANCE, ADVERTISING, COMPUTER SYSTEMS, AND TRAINING

Except as listed below, we are not required to provide you with any assistance.

Before you open and begin operating the Franchised Business, we (and/or an Area Representative operating in the Territory) will:

• 1. Designate the Territory for your Franchised Business. (Franchise Agreement 1.E)
• 1. Your Office may be located in your residence. Your Office must primarily be used for the operation of the Franchised Business, but you may operate businesses that are not a competitive business (defined below) from your Office. If you choose to locate your Office in a non-residential location, the site location must meet our criteria for demographic characteristics; parking; character of neighborhood; competition from, proximity to, and nature of other businesses; size; appearance; and other physical and commercial characteristics. We may use reasonable efforts to assist you in designating the location of the Office, although we will not conduct site selection activities for you. If an Office has not been approved in writing by us as of the Effective Date of the Franchise Agreement, you agree to locate an Office acceptable to us and obtain our written approval of the location within 60 days following the Effective Date of the Franchise Agreement. We do not anticipate a situation where we would own the Site and lease it to you for the Office. If we and you cannot agree on an acceptable site and you do not open your Office within 60 days following the Effective Date of the Franchise Agreement, we may terminate the Franchise Agreement. (Franchise Agreement − Sections 1.D. and 14.B.)
