Based on the 2025 Spray Net Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maryland addendum includes information regarding the sale and transfer of a franchise. Specifically, it states that the general release required as a condition of renewal, sale, and/or assignment/transfer shall not apply to any liability under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. This addendum modifies the standard franchise agreement to comply with Maryland law, ensuring franchisees do not waive rights under the Maryland Franchise Law during a sale or transfer.

Additionally, the Minnesota addendum addresses the franchisee's obligation to execute a general release upon assignment. It states that the sections of the Franchise Agreement regarding the obligation to execute a general release upon assignment or renewal are deleted in their entirety in accordance with Minnesota Rule 2860.4400(D). This means that Minnesota franchisees are not required to sign a general release when assigning or renewing their franchise agreement, providing them with additional protection under Minnesota law.

Item 23 also mentions "Transfers" in the context of intellectual property rights related to the Spray-Network software. It specifies that in the event of a merger or business acquisition of a franchise location, the license to use the franchise in the Spray-Network with customer information may be transferred to the new owner. This indicates that the right to use the Spray-Network software and customer data is transferable under certain conditions, such as a merger or acquisition, which could be beneficial for a franchisee looking to sell their business.
