Does Marble Slab Creamery offer franchises for a Great American Cookies co-brand restaurant?

We currently offer prospects the right to operate a Great American Cookies-Marble Slab Creamery co-brand restaurant as part of our standard co-brand offering ("Standard Co-Brand Restaurant"). This disclosure document is only for Marble Slab Creamery restaurants. Under a separate disclosure document, our affiliate, GAC, offer franchises for its Great American Cookies restaurant that can be added within and as part of a Marble Slab Creamery restaurant with our consent, in which case you will sign a franchise agreement with GAC and a Marble Slab Creamery Franchise Agreement and Co-brand Addendum (Exhibit B-1).

In certain very limited circumstances, we may offer you the right to operate a co-brand restaurant as a combination with another brand as well. If your Restaurant is the dominant presence in the location, your Restaurant will be a Traditional Restaurant. If your Restaurant is the subordinate

presence in the location, your Restaurant typically will be a Non-Traditional Restaurant. We will have the final authority to classify your Standard Co-Brand Restaurant or other co-brand restaurant as Traditional or Non-Traditional. In certain limited circumstances, we may permit you to add another affiliate brand to your Restaurant but our standard co-brand offering will feature Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery.

If you wish to operate a co-brand restaurant with a brand that is not our affiliate, you must submit to us all information that we request, including, for example (i) any existing agreements you have with the other brand relating to an existing restaurant that you operate in the other brand's franchise system, (ii) any proposed agreements that you desire to enter into with the other brand for the operation of the other concept in conjunction with your Restaurant, and (iii) any proposed modifications to the agreements that we have reviewed over the course of the term of your Franchise Agreement. Before you enter into any agreements with a proposed co-brand location, you must receive our written approval of each proposed other brand and each proposed agreement. We may withhold our approval for any reason, in our sole discretion. We may require your co-brand partner to be one of our affiliates.

The terms that apply to your operation of the any co-brand restaurant also are included in the form of Franchise Agreement.

In addition, on a limited basis, certain of our affiliates currently offer franchises that you may co-brand with a Restaurant. Approval for a co-brand is dependent on several criteria, including but not limited to space allocation, signage, minimum brand requirements and minimum product offerings. You should request the disclosure documents for those brands for information on cobranding opportunities. We may offer other co-branding opportunities in the future.
