For Noodles & Company, what happens to Section 10.05(d) of the Area Development Agreement as per this addendum?

According to the 2025 Noodles & Company FDD, Section 10.05(d) of the Area Development Agreement is deleted. This change is part of an addendum to the Area Development Agreement, specifically for Minnesota franchisees.

This deletion means that any provisions previously outlined in Section 10.05(d) are no longer applicable to the agreement between Noodles & Company and the Area Operator in Minnesota. Area Operators should carefully review their Area Development Agreement, in conjunction with this addendum, to understand the full scope of their rights and obligations.

It is important to note that the provisions of this addendum are effective only to the extent that the jurisdictional requirements of the Minnesota Franchise Act are met independently of the addendum. Furthermore, except as expressly modified by this addendum, the Area Development Agreement remains unmodified and in full force and effect.
