What might Gold Star require to be included in a lease agreement as a condition of approval?

If FRANCHISEE intends to occupy the Retail Location under a lease, sublease, or other contract of tenancy (collectively, the "Lease"), any such Lease (and any amendment, renewal or extension thereof) must be approved by the COMPANY prior to its execution. The COMPANY's approval of the Lease may be conditioned upon the inclusion of such provisions as the COMPANY reasonably requires, including without limitation, those provisions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

EXHIBIT B TO FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

LEASE PROVISIONS

• 1. A provision that restricts the use of the premises solely to the operation of the franchised business;
• 1. A provision permitting the COMPANY to enter the Retail Location to de-identify the Business without penalty in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement.
• 1. A provision requiring the landlord to provide the COMPANY with reasonable advanced notice if there is any contemplated termination and granting the COMPANY a reasonable amount of time, at the COMPANY's option, to avoid such termination (upon any such event, FRANCHISEE shall reimburse the COMPANY for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such avoidance).
• 1. A provision that reserves to the COMPANY the right, but not the obligation, to assume FRANCHISEE's leasehold interest, with the right to sublease, upon termination or expiration of the lease or of this Agreement, without any assessment of additional fees, penalties, or rent acceleration; and
• 1. A provision that modifies the term of the lease so that it is coterminous with this Agreement.
• 1. A provision that gives the COMPANY the right, but not the obligation, to enter the premises or make modifications necessary to protect the Marks or the System or to cure any default under this Agreement; and
• 1. A provision that restricts the lease from being modified in a manner that could materially affect the COMPANY's rights with respect to the lease, without the COMPANY's prior written consent.
