Does the Itan Disclosure Document include a copy of the State Addenda as Exhibit H-1?

Yes, according to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit H-1 to the disclosure document is a copy of the State Addenda. State Addenda are crucial because they modify the standard franchise agreement to comply with specific state laws, which vary significantly.

For a prospective Itan franchisee, this means that if they are franchising in a state that requires modifications to the standard franchise agreement, they will receive a State Addendum as part of their Franchise Disclosure Document. This addendum will override any inconsistent provisions in the standard agreement, ensuring compliance with local laws.

It is important for franchisees to carefully review the State Addendum, if applicable, along with the Franchise Agreement to understand their rights and obligations in their specific state. States that may require these modifications include California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
