Specifically, Attachment 4 to the franchise agreement is a Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement that applies to trained employees, shareholders, officers, directors, general partners, members, and managers of the franchisee.

This means that if you are considering becoming a Mr. Sandless franchisee and your business structure involves general partners, members, or managers, those individuals will be legally bound by the terms of the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement.
