NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 4.2 of the Development Agent Agreement will be replaced in its entirety with the following new section:

 

4.2 In consideration for undertaking our field responsibilities for developing and servicing all franchisees who operate Pokemoto Shops in the Development Area during the term of this Agreement, you shall be paid a continuing fee equal to ** percent (**%) of all royalty fees and transfer fees received from any franchised unit located in the Development Area for services rendered by you to said unit.

 

Section 7.5 of the Development Agent Agreement will be replaced in its entirety with the following new section:

 

7.5 You shall be required to expend not less than ** Dollars ($**) each year for advertising and marketing to reach prospective franchisees within the Development Area.

 

Section 9.2 of the Development Agent Agreement will be replaced in its entirety with the following new section:

 

9.2 Intentionally Deleted

 

Section 25 – Miscellaneous will be added to the Development Agent Agreement as follows:

 

25.1 All negotiations, training, operational support or any other support normally provided to franchisees outside of a Development Agent area will be performed by Poke Co Holdings, LLC until the first Casa Moto LLC location is opened within the Development Agent area at which point Casa Moto LLC will perform all obligations as indicated in the Development Agent agreement and this addendum.

 

25.2 All Casa Moto LLC Development Area locations are pre-approved to sell Saladcraft under the existing Poke Co Holdings, LLC/Saladcraft license agreement as a “ghost or virtual” kitchen (no public access, delivery only). The locations will have no initial signup fees and only be required to pay the royalty rate on saladcraft net sales.

 

25.3 There are no other development agreements allowing the sale of other Pokemoto locations within the Worcester MA and Middlesex MA counties. All future locations within these designated counties are contingent upon Casa Moto LLC approval. In the event a Pokemoto location is referred by an outside company and approved by Casa Moto LLC, Poke Co Holdings, LLC is responsible to pay any referral fees to that entity.

 

25.4 For clarity purposes, the Manchester/South Windsor location you with to open, which is located within another Development Area outside of Worcester MA or Middlesex MA counties, will count towards your Development Agreement development schedule. However, because this location is outside your development agreement area, the location is subject to standard initial franchise fees ($**) and a royalty rate of **% and brand rate of **% of net sales.
