Consequently, all payments to Franchisor hereunder shall be increased to the extent necessary to provide Franchisor with the same net amount it would have received had no such taxes been applicable to such payment. For example, if a payment of one thousand US dollars ($1,000.00US) is due to Franchisor, and if a withholding tax of ten percent (10%) is applicable under the laws of the Country, then the amount due to Franchisor shall be increased to one thousand one hundred and eleven US dollars ($1,111.00US), the applicable tax rate of ten percent (10%) shall be applied to that amount, the resulting tax of one hundred and eleven US dollars ($111.00US) shall be deducted by Master Franchisee and remitted to the appropriate tax authority in the Country, and one thousand US dollars ($1,000.00US) shall be remitted by Master Franchisee to Franchisor. Master Franchisee agrees to promptly deliver to Franchisor receipts of applicable governmental authorities for all such taxes withheld or paid. Master Franchisee shall be responsible for and shall indemnify and hold Franchisor and its Affiliates harmless against any penalties, interest and expenses incurred by or assessed against Franchisor or its Affiliates as a result of Master Franchisee’s failure to withhold such taxes or to timely remit them to the appropriate taxing authority.

While such restrictions are in effect, Franchisor may require payment in any currency designated by Franchisor that is available to Master Franchisee or, at Franchisor’s option, may require Master Franchisee to deposit all amounts due but unpaid as a result of such a restriction in any type of account, in any bank or institution in the Country designated by Franchisor, or in the form of products or services available to Master Franchisee or its Affiliate at the actual cost of such products or services to Master Franchisee or its Affiliate. Franchisor shall be entitled to all interest earned on such deposits. If payment is made in products or services, Master Franchisee agrees to deliver such products or services to Franchisor or its designated agent or shipper within the Development Area. All costs incurred by Master Franchisee in complying with this Subsection H shall be the responsibility of Master Franchisee.

     I. INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENTS

Such interest shall be payable in the same currency as the debt on which interest accrues. Master Franchisee acknowledges that this Subsection I shall not constitute Franchisor’s agreement to accept such payments in place of such debts or a commitment by Franchisor to extend credit to, or otherwise finance Master Franchisee’s business operated pursuant to this Agreement. Master Franchisee acknowledges that its failure to pay all such amounts when due shall constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement notwithstanding the provisions of this Subsection I.

     J. STAMP DUTIES

          If required by law of the Development Area, Master Franchisee shall within the time prescribed by applicable law, submit an executed copy of this Agreement to each governmental agency within the Country responsible for the assessment of stamp duty or comparable duties or taxes for the purposes of assessing or obtaining an opinion as to the stamp duty payable on or in respect of this Agreement and Master Franchisee agrees to pay all stamp duties and comparable duties and taxes (including any penalties for late payment) assessed to be payable on or in respect of this Agreement.

As used in this Agreement, the term “transfer” shall include, without limitation, whether voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect; an assignment, novation, sale, gift or pledge; the grant of a mortgage, charge, lien or security interest including, without limitation, the grant of a collateral assignment; a merger or consolidation, or issuance of additional Ownership Interests or redemption of Ownership Interests; a sale of voting interests of securities convertible to voting interests, or an agreement granting the right to exercise, or control the exercise, of voting rights of any holder of an Ownership Interest; and a transfer that occurs as a result of divorce, insolvency, corporate or partnership dissolution, or upon death, by will, intestate succession or by declaration of, or transfer to, a trust.

          Franchisor will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to the transfer of any interest in the Master Franchisee; provided, however, that prior to the time of the transfer, Franchisor may, in its sole discretion require that: (i) the transferee demonstrate to Franchisor’s

satisfaction that it meets Franchisor’s requirements that existed under the original Agreement and have the adequate financial resources and capital to manage the Development Area; (ii) transferee must submit to Franchisor an application in the form prescribed by Franchisor; (iii) transferee or transferee’s manager must complete any training course then in effect for Master Franchisee, at transferee’s expense and upon such other terms and conditions as Franchisor may reasonably require; (iv) except in the case of a transfer to a corporation formed solely for the convenience of ownership, a transfer fee of 10% of Franchisor’s then-current Master Franchise Fee shall be paid to Franchisor by Master Franchisee; (v) Master Franchisee and its Owners execute a general release, in a form prescribed by Franchisor, of all claims against Franchisor, it Affiliates and its officers, developers, agents, and employees; and (vi) at Franchisor’s sole option, the transferee must either (A) execute Franchisor’s then-current Master Franchise Agreement (which may contain different royalty rates, fees and marketing contributions) and all other agreements and legal instruments and documents (including guarantees) then customarily used by Franchisor in the grant of master franchises or (B) undertake in writing, in a form acceptable to Franchisor, to assume all of Master Franchisee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

     C. DEATH OR DISABILITY OF MASTER FRANCHISEE

          In the event of the death or Permanent Disability of the Master Franchisee, the spouse or personal representative of Master Franchisee may, on request in writing to Franchisor made within 90 days of such death or Permanent Disability, continue to act as Master Franchisee under this Agreement for a period of 1 year from the date such request is received by Franchisor to the expiration of the aforesaid 1 year period, provided that the spouse or personal representative of a deceased or incapacitated Master Franchisee, as the case may be, must file with Franchisor an application for a master franchise agreement.

          If application is made to Franchisor for a master franchise agreement, Franchisor agrees to authorize the person designated in such application to become a Master Franchisee under this Agreement for the balance of the term hereof provided that such person substantially meets Franchisor’s qualifications to become an Master Franchisee under the terms of this Agreement and this Agreement is not in default. No transfer fee will be required upon transfer of this Agreement to the surviving spouse, heirs, beneficiaries or devisee of Master Franchisee. Except as provided in this Agreement, if the representative fails to take the steps stated above, Franchisor will automatically assume the rights of the Master Franchisee one year after the death or permanent disability of the Master Franchisee. During any transition period to an heir or successor-in-interest, the Master Franchise Business still must be operated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Franchisor reserves all rights related to default and termination.

     D. NO RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN SECURITIES OFFERING

          The Master Franchisee must not, and must ensure that its Affiliates or Owners do not engage in a Securities Offering without the prior written consent of Franchisor (whether or not Franchisor’s consent is otherwise required). Franchisor’s consent will be conditioned upon (i) its verification that the Prospectus does not state or imply (by use of the Marks or otherwise) that Franchisor is sponsoring or otherwise participating in the Securities Offering or that Franchisor will receive any part of the proceeds from the Securities Offering, and (ii) its receipt

of a legal opinion from Franchisor’s counsel satisfactory to Franchisor stating (a) that the Prospectus and the conduct of the Securities Offering comply in all material respects with the laws of each country from which an offer of securities originates or into which an offer of securities is directed, and (b) that neither the conduct nor the consummation of the Securities Offering will result in a violation of any of the laws, rules or regulations referenced Section 6 of this Agreement. To obtain Franchisor’s consent, Master Franchisee must submit the required legal opinion and a complete copy of the Prospectus to Franchisor prior to the time the Prospectus is filed with a government agency or official or, if an exempt Securities Offering is contemplated, prior to the delivery of the Prospectus to any prospective investor. Franchisor will have thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Prospectus and the required legal opinion either to provide its consent or to advise Master Franchisee of the deficiencies that must be corrected prior to Franchisor providing its consent. Franchisor will have no obligation to provide its consent until all deficiencies it notes have been corrected. Master Franchisee, the Owners and the other participants in a Securities Offering will fully indemnify Franchisor in connection with the offering. For each proposed Securities Offering, Master Franchisee will pay Franchisor an offering fee equal to Franchisor’s reasonable cost and expenses associated with reviewing a proposed offering, including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees and salaries of Franchisor’s personnel and its professional advisors.

     E. FRANCHISOR’S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

          If Master Franchisee or an Owner shall at any time determine to sell or transfer a Controlling Interest in this Agreement, substantially all the assets of Master Franchisee, the Franchise Agreements or a Controlling Interest in the Master Franchisee or one of its Owners, Master Franchisee will, and will ensure that its Owners will, obtain a bona fide, executed written offer and earnest money deposit (in the amount of five percent (5%) or more of the offering price) from a qualified, responsible and fully disclosed purchaser and a true and complete copy of the offer (and any proposed ancillary agreements) shall immediately be submitted to Franchisor. The offer must apply only to this Agreement, the assets of Master Franchisee, the Franchise Agreements or a Controlling Interest in Master Franchisee or such Owner and may not include the purchase of any other property or rights. Franchisor shall have the right, exercisable by written notice delivered to Master Franchisee or Owners within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of an exact copy of such offer to Franchisor, to purchase such interests for the price and on the terms and conditions contained in such offer, provided that Franchisor may substitute cash or marketable securities of equal value for any form of payment proposed in such offer. Franchisor’s credit shall be deemed equal to the credit of any proposed purchaser. Franchisor shall have not less than ninety (90) days to prepare for closing. If Franchisor does not exercise its right of first refusal, Master Franchisee or Owners may complete the sale to such purchaser pursuant to and on the exact terms of such offer, subject to Franchisor’s approval of the transfer as otherwise provided in Section 12, provided that if the sale to such purchaser is not completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery of such offer to Franchisor, or there is a material change in the terms of the sale, Franchisor shall have an additional right of first refusal for thirty (30) days on the terms and conditions applicable to the initial right of first refusal, except that Franchisor shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to substitute any of the modified terms of purchase for those contained in the original offer.

12. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

     A. BY MASTER FRANCHISEE

          If Master Franchisee is in full compliance with this Agreement and Franchisor materially breaches this Agreement, Master Franchisee may terminate this Agreement effective sixty (60) days after delivery of written notice of termination if Master Franchisee gives written notice of such breach to Franchisor and Franchisor does not cure such breach within sixty (60) days after delivery of notice of such breach; or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within sixty (60) days after delivery of notice of such breach, Franchisor does not undertake within sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice, and continue until completion, reasonable endeavors to cure such breach.

          The rights, licenses and territorial exclusivity may be terminated or rescinded without the need of obtaining any judicial or administrative judgment, ruling, arbitration award or resolution of any kind, immediately upon written notice to Master Franchisee, which shall be deemed an incurable default of this Agreement (in the understanding that the termination or rescission of this Agreement shall become effective immediately upon delivery of the written notice of termination to Master Franchisee), and Master Franchisee will no longer have any of the rights created by this Agreement, upon the happening of any of the following events:

          13. Master Franchisee or any of its Owners commit a material default under the terms of any other agreement with Franchisor, or its Affiliates and such default continues beyond any cure period after receipt of notice of such as provided in such other agreement;

undertaken, and continues to utilize all best endeavors to bring itself into full compliance with this Agreement within such thirty (30) day period and furnishes proof acceptable to Franchisor upon its request of such endeavors and the date on which full compliance was or will be achieved; or

          16. If there is not substantial compliance with Section 5.F and 75% of the Franchisees provide a written petition to Franchisor that the Master Franchisee is not substantially providing the franchise support as outlined in their individual Franchise Agreement of which the Master Franchisee has direct control, Franchisor will immediately give written notice of such substantial non-compliance. Upon receipt of such notice of non-compliance and Franchisee petition the Master Franchisee will have ninety (90) days or such time as is reasonable to cure such defaults.

          The events of default and grounds for termination described in this Section will be independent and in addition to any other grounds for termination and remedies contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any individual Franchise Agreement executed between Franchisor and the Master Franchisee. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Master Franchisee will not have further rights to receive any portion of any fees paid by Franchisees pursuant to any Franchise Agreement, and Franchisor will have complete and exclusive rights to the franchise and royalty fees collected from each PLANET BEACH^® business within the Development Area should it obtain an assignment or novation of all of Master Franchisee’s rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Franchisor is exclusive of any other right or remedy provided or permitted by law or equity.

13. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION

     A. MARKS AND DE-IDENTIFICATION

          Master Franchisee agrees, and will ensure that its Owners agree, that after the termination or expiration of this Agreement (including transfer, novation or assignment of this Agreement), for any reason, it or they shall:

          1. Not directly or indirectly at any time or in any manner identify itself or any business as a current or former franchisee, licensee or dealer of, or as otherwise associated with, Franchisor, or directly or indirectly use any of the Marks, any colourable imitation thereof or confusingly similar marks or other indicia of a PLANET BEACH^® business, or the System, including Confidential Information, in any manner or for any purpose, or utilize for any purpose any trade name, trade-mark or other commercial symbol that suggests or indicates a connection or association with Franchisor or its Affiliates or franchisees;

          2. Within a period of ten (10) days return to Franchisor all signs, Operations Manuals, brochures, advertising materials, forms, invoices and other materials containing any Marks or otherwise identifying or relating to the System or the operation of a PLANET BEACH^® business and allow Franchisor, without liability, to remove all such items from the Master Franchisee’s offices;

          3. Within ten (10) days take such action as may be required to cancel all trade name or equivalent registrations relating to its use of any Marks;

          4. Within ten (10) days notify the appropriate telephone company, all telephone directory listing agencies of the termination or expiration of Master Franchisee’s right to use any telephone numbers and any regular, classified or other telephone directory listings associated with any Marks and domain name registry with respect to any domain name associated with the Marks and authorize transfer of the same to or at the direction of Franchisor. Master Franchisee agrees to execute updated letters of direction to telephone companies, telephone directory listing agencies, and domain name registries directing termination and/or transfer of Master Franchisee’s right to use telephone numbers or domain names associated with the Marks, which Franchisor may hold until termination or expiration hereof. Master Franchisee acknowledges that as between Franchisor and Master Franchisee, Franchisor has the sole right to and interest in all telephone numbers, directory listing and domain names associated with any Marks. Master Franchisee authorizes Franchisor, and hereby appoints Franchisor and any officer of Franchisor as its attorney in fact, to direct the appropriate telephone company and all listing agencies or domain name registries to transfer the same to Franchisor or at is direction, should Master Franchisee fail or refuse to do so, and the appropriate telephone company and all listing agencies and domain name registry may accept such direction of this Agreement or Master Franchisee’s letter of direction held by Franchisor as conclusive of the exclusive rights of Franchisor in such telephone number and directory listings and domain names and its authority to direct their transfer;

          5. Comply with the confidentiality and non-competition obligations set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement; and

          6. Furnish to Franchisor, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration, evidence satisfactory to Franchisor of Master Franchisee’s compliance with the foregoing obligations.

B. FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS

          In addition to, and not in lieu of the rights of Franchisor and the obligations of Master Franchisee under this Section, if Master Franchisee terminates this Agreement without cause or Franchisor terminates this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Master Franchisee agrees to novate to Franchisor or its designee, at the option of Franchisor, all of its rights and obligations under those Area Representative Agreements or Unit Franchise Agreements designated by Franchisor. Franchisor shall give Master Franchisee written notice of its exercise of this option within sixty (60) days of the effective date of termination of this Agreement. If Franchisor exercises the option provided for in this Subsection B, it shall have ninety (90) days from the date of the notice exercising such option to designate the Franchise Agreements to be novated and prepare for closing of this termination. The Franchise Agreements transferred, as designated by Franchisor, shall be novated to Franchisor without cost or charge and free and clear of any liens, charges and encumbrances. Neither Franchisor nor its designee shall under any circumstances assume or be liable for any obligation for performance or obligation or liability for default or non-performance of Master Franchisee under the particular Franchise Agreement or this Agreement (or on any other basis) that arose prior to the effective date of the novation. Therefore,

Master Franchisee and its Owner(s) shall be liable for any obligation for performance or obligation or liability for default or non-performance under any Franchise Agreement of Franchisor or its designee that arises before and after the effective date of novation.

          If Franchisor does not exercise its novation option with respect to one or more Franchise Agreements, Master Franchisee shall cause Area Representative Franchisee and/or Unit Franchisees whose Area Representative Agreement or Unit Franchise Agreement are not novated to Franchisor to cease all use of the Marks and the System as provided in Subsection A of this Section.

C. CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS

          All obligations of Franchisor and Master Franchisee which expressly or by their nature survive the termination of this Agreement or the expiration of the Development Term shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding its expiration or termination and until they are satisfied in full or by their nature expire.

14. NON-COMPETITION AND CONFIDENTIALITY

     A. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE

          Master Franchisee acknowledges that it will receive valuable training regarding the operation of a PLANET BEACH^® business, and Confidential Information which is beyond the present skills, experience and knowledge of Master Franchisee and its Owners and Master Franchisee’s employees. The Confidential Information provide by Franchisor in connection with this Agreement constitutes valuable, essential, necessary and indispensable information that Master Franchisee requires and needs in order to perform under this Agreement. Master Franchisee and Restricted Persons shall, at all times during the term hereof and thereafter, use their best endeavors to preserve the confidentiality of all Confidential Information. Master Franchisee shall use Confidential Information only in connection with the rights granted to it under this Agreement. Disclosure and access to Confidential Information shall be limited to Master Franchisee and to other Persons, including Area Representative Franchisees and/or Unit Franchisees, who need the Confidential Information to perform their obligations pursuant to this Agreement, an Area Representative Agreement or a Unit Franchise Agreement and who have signed a confidentiality agreement in the form attached as Exhibit F hereof. Each party undertakes to the other to take all steps that are necessary from time to time to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Section 15.A by its employees, agents and subcontractors. In addition, Master Franchisee shall not disclose the financial terms of this Agreement to any person or persons except to its professional advisors for legitimate business purposes.

          The obligations of confidentiality under this Section 15.A shall not apply where:

(a)

the receiving party is subject to an obligation to disclose the information under law, or the information is required to be disclosed by any competent regulatory authority, by notice or otherwise; or

(b)

the information is already in the receiving party’s possession other than as a result of a breach of this Section 15.A; or

(c)

the information is in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this Section 15.A.

     B. NON-COMPETITION

          Master Franchisee acknowledges and will ensure that its Owners acknowledge, that it and they will receive valuable training regarding the operation and maintenance of PLANET BEACH^® businesses, and Confidential Information which is beyond the present skills, experience and knowledge of Master Franchisee, any Owner and Master Franchisee’s employees. The Confidential Information provided by Franchisor in connection with this Agreement constitutes valuable, essential, necessary and indispensable information that Master Franchisee requires and needs in order to perform under and offer the goods and services described in this Agreement, each and every restriction imposed on Master Franchisee and its Owners in this Section constitutes measures necessary to maintain the identity, integrity and reputation of the System.

          Consequently, Master Franchisee and each Owner shall not, during the Development Term have any interest as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant, investor, shareholder, licensor, licensee, lender, representative or agent, or in any other capacity, in any Competitive Business: (i) in the Development Area, or (ii) within 5 kilometers of the perimeter of any Assigned Area (Assigned Areas meaning any assigned territory in which Master Franchisee or its Affiliate previously operated a Franchise, or in which any Unit Franchisee operates a Franchise).

          Further, Master Franchisee and each Owner shall not for a period of two (2) years following the expiration or early termination of this Agreement, or with respect to an Owner, commencing when such Owner ceases to meet the definition of Owner under this Agreement, have any interest as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant, investor, shareholder, licensor, licensee, lender, representative or agent, or in any other capacity, in any Competitive Business:

(i)

which operates or is part of a chain or franchise of a Competitive Business in the Development Area or any part of the Development Area; or

(ii)

without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, within 0.3 kilometers of the perimeter of any Planet Beach Unit Franchise premises in the Development Area;

          Master Franchisee further covenants that for the period of two (2) years after the expiration or termination for any reason of this Agreement (howsoever arising) the Master Franchisee and each Owner shall not whether itself or together with any other person, firm or company in any capacity whatsoever save as authorized hereunder directly or indirectly solicit customers or former customers of the Business (former customers being persons who have been customers of the Business in the Development Area within the year prior to expiration or termination.

          Nothing contained in this Section, however, shall restrict Master Franchisee and the Owners from (i) holding a 5% Ownership Interest in a Similar Business where neither Master Franchisee nor any Owners have the power to influence the economic conduct of such Similar Business, or (ii) participating in any trade associations or organizations involving Similar Businesses.

          The parties acknowledge and agree that the covenant contained in Section is a reasonable limitation as to time, space, geographic area and scope of activity and does not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill (reputation) or other business interests of Franchisor. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if all or any portion of the covenant contained in this Section is held unreasonable or unenforceable by a court or agency having valid jurisdiction in an unappealed decision to which Franchisor is a party, Master Franchisee expressly agreed, and will ensure that the Owners expressly agree to be bound by the lesser covenant subsumed within the terms of the covenant that imposes the maximum duty permitted by law, as if the resulting covenant were separately stated in and made part of this Section.

     C. AREA DEVELOPMENT FRANCHISEES/UNIT FRANCHISEES

          Master Franchisee shall use reasonable commercial and legal endeavors to cause its Area Representative Franchisees and Unit Franchisees to comply with the non-competition and confidentiality restrictions in the Area Representative Agreements and Unit Franchise Agreements.

15. ENFORCEMENT

     A. INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

          Prior to filing any judicial or arbitration proceeding, except as provided in Subsection 16.B, the party intending to file such a proceeding shall be required to notify the other party in writing of the existence and the nature of the dispute. Franchisor and Master Franchisee each agree that within fifteen (15) business days of the other party’s receipt of such notice, the Chief Executive, Chief Operating Officer or other senior executive officer of both Franchisor and Master Franchisee shall meet at Franchisor’s corporate offices in Marrero, Louisiana for a minimum of two (2) eight (8) hour days in order to attempt to resolve the dispute amicably. If such informal dispute resolution attempts prove to be unsuccessful, the notifying party may initiate a judicial or arbitration proceeding as described in Subsection B of this Section 16.

     B. ARBITRATION

          Subject to Subsection A of this Section 16, all controversies, disputes or claims arising between the Franchisor, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, employees and attorneys (in their representative capacity) and Master Franchisee (and its Owners and the guarantors of this Agreement) arising out of or related to the relationship of the parties hereto, this Agreement or any provision hereof, any

Franchise Agreement or any related agreement, the validity of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any System Standard relating to the establishment or operation of PLANET BEACH^® shall be submitted for arbitration to be administered in accordance with the rules and procedures of arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Marrero, Louisiana on demand of either party. Such arbitration proceedings shall be conducted before a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be conducted in accordance with the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the ICC for international arbitration. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Marrero, Louisiana. All matters within the scope of the Federal Arbitration Act of the United States (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) shall be governed by it. The arbitrators shall have the right to award or include in their award any relief which they deem proper in the circumstances, including without limitation, money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from date due), specific performance, injunctive relief, legal fees and costs in accordance with Subsection H of this Section 16, provided that the arbitrators shall not have the authority to award exemplary, punitive or special damages. The award and decision of the arbitrators shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties further agree to be bound by the provisions of any applicable limitation on the period of time in which claims must be brought under applicable law or this Agreement, whichever is less. The parties further agree that in connection with any such arbitration proceeding, each shall submit or file any claim which would constitute a compulsory counterclaim (as defined by Rule 13 of the United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) within the same proceeding as the claim to which it relates. Any such claim which is not submitted or filed as described above shall be barred. Master Franchisee and Franchisor agree that arbitration shall be conducted on an individual, not a class-wide basis and that no arbitration proceeding conducted pursuant to this Agreement shall be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving Franchisor and any other Person, corporation, partnership or entity.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subsection B or Subsection A Master Franchisee and Franchisor each have the right in a proper case to obtain temporary restraining orders and temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, however, that the parties agree to contemporaneously submit their dispute for arbitration on the merits as provided herein. The provisions of this Subsection B are intended to benefit and bind certain third party non-signatories and will continue in full force and effect subsequent to, and notwithstanding the expiration of, the Development Term or the termination of this Agreement.

     C. SEVERABILITY AND SUBSTITUTION OF VALID PROVISIONS

          All provisions of this Agreement are severable and this Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced as if all completely invalid or unenforceable provisions were not contained herein and partially valid and enforceable provisions shall be enforced to the extent valid and enforceable. To the extent that the post-termination restrictive covenant set forth in Subsection 15.B is deemed unenforceable by virtue of its scope in terms of geographic area, activity prohibited or length of time, but may be made enforceable by reductions of any of them, Master Franchisee and the Franchisor agree that same shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is

sought. If any applicable and binding law or rule of any jurisdiction requires a greater prior notice of the termination of this Agreement than is required hereunder or the taking of some other action not required hereunder, or if under any applicable and binding law or rule of any jurisdiction, any provision of this Agreement or any specification, standard or operating procedure prescribed by the Franchisor is invalid or unenforceable, the prior notice and/or other action required by such law or rule shall be substituted for the comparable requirements hereof, and Franchisor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to modify such invalid or unenforceable provision, specification, standard or operating procedure to the extent required to be valid and enforceable. Such modifications to this Agreement shall be effective only in such jurisdiction and shall be enforced as originally made and entered into in all other jurisdictions.

     D. WAIVER OF OBLIGATIONS

          The Franchisor and Master Franchisee may by written instrument unilaterally waive any obligation of or restriction upon the other under this Agreement. No acceptance by the Franchisor of any payment by Master Franchisee or any other Person or entity and no failure, refusal or neglect of the Franchisor or Master Franchisee to exercise any right under this Agreement or to insist upon full compliance by the other with its obligations hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Franchisor makes no warranties or guarantees upon which Master Franchisee may rely, and assumes no liability or obligation to Master Franchisee, by granting any waiver, approval, or consent to Master Franchisee, or by reason of any neglect, delay, or denial of any request therefore. Any waiver granted by Franchisor shall be without prejudice to any other rights Franchisor may have, will be subject to continuing review by Franchisor, and may be revoked, in Franchisor’s sole discretion, at any time and for any reason, effective upon delivery to Master Franchisee of ten (10) days’ prior written notice. Franchisor and Master Franchisee shall not be deemed to have waived or impaired any right, power or option reserved by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to demand exact compliance with every term, condition and covenant herein, or to declare any breach thereof to be a default and to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of its term), by virtue of any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof; any failure, refusal, or neglect of Franchisor or Master Franchisee to exercise any right under this Agreement or to insist upon exact compliance by the other with its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any System Standard; any waiver, forbearance, delay, failure, or omission by Franchisor to exercise any right, power, or option, whether of the same, similar or different nature, with respect to any PLANET BEACH^® business or any franchise agreement; or the acceptance by Franchisor of any payment from Master Franchisee after any breach of this Agreement.

          Neither Franchisor nor Master Franchisee shall be liable for loss or damage or deemed to be in breach of this Agreement if its failure to perform its obligations results from any of the following and is not caused or exacerbated by the non-performing party: compliance with any law, ruling, order, regulation, requirement, or instruction of any government or any department or agency thereof; acts of God; or acts of war or insurrection. Any delay resulting from any of said causes or occurrences shall extend performance accordingly or excuse performance, in whole or in part, as may be reasonable, except that said causes shall not excuse payment of amounts owed at the time of such occurrence or payment of Royalty Fees thereafter.

     E. RIGHTS OF PARTIES ARE CUMULATIVE

          The rights of Franchisor and Master Franchisee hereunder are cumulative and no exercise or enforcement by Franchisor or Master Franchisee of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude the exercise or enforcement by Franchisor or Master Franchisee of any other right or remedy hereunder or which Franchisor or Master Franchisee is entitled by law to enforce.

     F. WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND JURY TRIAL

          Master Franchisee hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to or claim for any punitive, exemplary or special damages against Franchisor and agrees that in the event of a dispute between them, except as otherwise provided herein, Master Franchisee shall be limited to the recovery of any actual damages sustained by it.

     J. BINDING EFFECT

          This Agreement is binding upon the parties hereto and their respective executors, administrators, heirs, assigns, novatees and successors in interest, and shall not be modified except by written agreement signed by both Master Franchisee and Franchisor.

     K. CONSTRUCTION

          The preambles and exhibits are a part of this Agreement, which constitutes the entire agreement of the parties, and, except for Franchise Agreements, there are no other oral or written understandings or agreements between Franchisor and Master Franchisee relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. The headings of the several sections and subsections hereof are for convenience only and do not define, limit or construe the contents of such sections or subsections. The term “Master Franchisee” as used herein is applicable to one or more Persons, a corporation or a partnership, as the case may be, and the singular usage includes the plural and the masculine and neuter usages include the other and the feminine. If two or more Persons are at any time Master Franchisee hereunder, whether or not as partners or joint venturers, their obligations and liabilities to Franchisor shall be joint and several. This Agreement may be executed in multiple copies, each of which shall be deemed an original. In this Agreement reference to Irish or English statutes or statutory provisions include those statutes or statutory provisions as amended extended consolidated re-enacted or replaced from time to time and to any order regulations instruments or other subordinate legislation and to any former statute or statutory provision replaced (with or without modification) by the statute or statutory provision referred to except to the extent that any amendment or modification enacted after the date of this Agreement would increase or extend the liability of any party to this Agreement.

     L. GOVERNING LANGUAGE

          This Agreement and the Operations Manual originally will be written in the English language, and all questions of interpretation of this Agreement or the Operations Manual shall be resolved by reference to the same as written in English.

     M. FORCE MAJEURE

          If a party’s default under this Agreement (other than Master Franchisee’s obligations with respect to insurance and indemnification, and to pay all fees and other amounts due to Franchisor and its affiliates under this Agreement or any other agreement between either of them and Master Franchisee), is caused in whole or in part by a force majeure, such default and any right of the other party to terminate this Agreement for such default is suspended for as long as the default is reasonably caused by such force majeure. Any suspension is effective only from the delivery of a notice of the force majeure to the other party stating the party’s intention to invoke the force majeure. However, if such suspension continues for longer than six months and such default still exists, either party has the right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days notice to the other party. Neither party shall consider the termination as being due to the default of the other party. Events of force majeure are those that cannot be prevented, avoided or removed by the party invoking the force majeure despite the exercise of reasonable diligence, including acts of God, actions of the elements, lockouts, strikes, wars, riots, civil commotion, and acts of governmental authorities, (not including a governmental authority’s delaying or refusing to grant building permits, licenses and other permissions and approvals), and except as specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement.

PART A

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT TO BE USED BY MASTER FRANCHISEE
(DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, PRINCIPAL OR AFFILIATE)

Date:

     I am a director, officer, agent, principal or affiliate of                                          (the “Master Franchisee”), who is the                      master franchisee of the PLANET BEACH^® franchise system (the “System”).

     I acknowledge that in the course of my exposure to the System, I will have access to certain Confidential Information (defined below) about the System’s methods of establishing, developing, operating and maintaining PLANET BEACH^® businesses, which is confidential and not available to the public in general.

     I understand that a great amount of time and money has been spent to develop the Confidential Information and I acknowledge that competitive business interests of the Master Franchisee and other franchisees, master franchisees and the franchisor of the System (“Franchisor”) could be severely and irreparably damaged if the Confidential Information revealed to me were to be disclosed to any third person, become available to the public in general, or be used by me to compete with the Master Franchisee or other franchisees, master franchisees or the Franchisor.

In consideration of obtaining access to the Confidential Information, I agree as follows:

1.

“Confidential Information” means information or material relating to the System that is not generally available, known or used by others, or the utility or value of which is not generally known or recognized as standard practice, including operations manuals, technical manuals, financial data, software, training programs, techniques, processes, ideas, concepts, customer and supplier information.

2.

I will not directly or indirectly disclose to any third party or use for myself any Confidential Information which I have learned or may learn in the future, except as necessary to perform my duties in relation to the Master Franchisee. I agree that these restrictions will apply indefinitely in the future and will only cease with respect to particular Confidential Information when that Confidential Information becomes publicly available through no fault of mine.

3.

While I am a director, officer, agent, principal or affiliate of the Master Franchisee, and for a period of one (1) year from the date I cease to be a director, officer, agent, principal or affiliate of the Master Franchisee, I will not:

(a)

use, advise on the use of, or in any manner knowingly enter into or be employed in any business which uses any of the Confidential Information; or

(b)

directly or indirectly hire or solicit for hire any current or former employee of the Master Franchisee or of any other franchisee, master franchisee or the Franchisor or encourage any such employee to leave his or her employment.

4.

My obligations under this Agreement bind me and my heirs and assigns or novatees and are for the benefit of the System, the Master Franchisee, other franchisees, master franchisees and the franchisor of the System and their successors and assigns or novatees. My obligations under this Agreement are in addition to all other obligations I have under the law. Master Franchisee and Franchisor shall each have the right to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

5.

I acknowledge that the System, Master Franchisee, other franchisees, master franchisees and the franchisor of the System will suffer irreparable harm if I violate or breach the promises I have made in this Agreement. I also acknowledge that the restrictions set out in this Agreement are reasonable in order to protect the legitimate business interests of Master Franchisee and Franchisor. I agree that my failure to adhere to the restrictions contained in those clauses will constitute unfair competition to Master Franchisee and Franchisor and I acknowledge the difficulty of accurately determining the tangible and intangible damages which Master Franchisee and Franchisor will suffer if I breach any of those restrictions. Accordingly, I agree to the granting without prior notice (to the extent that applicable notice requirements may be waived) of temporary and permanent injunctions against any such breach, and to indemnify Master Franchisee and Franchisor for all costs and expenses (including all legal fees and other expenses on a full indemnity basis in accordance with accounts actually rendered) incurred by Master Franchisee and Franchisor in seeking to obtain such injunctions or maintaining the same, or obtaining any other relief.

6.

If any item or provision contained in this Agreement or any part thereof (in this clause called the “offending provision”) shall be declared or become unenforceable invalid or illegal for any reason whatsoever, the other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed without the offending provision appearing herein.

7.

While the restrictions above are considered by both me and Master Franchisee and Franchisor to be reasonable in all the circumstances it is agreed that if such restrictions shall taken together be judged to go beyond what is reasonable in all the circumstances for the protection of Master Franchisee and Franchisor but would be judged reasonable if part or parts of the wording thereof were deleted the said restrictions shall apply with words deleted.

8.

This Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana and the parties submit to the non exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of Louisiana.

9.

All written notices and address for service permitted or required to be delivered by the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed so delivered at the time delivered by hand, one (1) business day after transmission by facsimile, telecopy or other electronic system (evidenced by a machine generated receipt), five (5) business days after being placed in the hands of a commercial courier service for express delivery or ten (10) business days after placement with a government mail service by Registered or Certified Mail (or the equivalent), Return Receipt Requested, postage prepaid.

	(ix)		any change in the constitution, name or style or death or bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, administration or winding up of the Franchisee, the Franchisor, the Guarantor or any other person; or

	(xii)		any act, omission, matter or thing which although could affect the liability of a surety, would not affect liability of a principal debtor, or which, but for this provision, might operate to exonerate, discharge, reduce or extinguish the Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee.

Additional security

8.

This Guarantee is in addition to and is not prejudiced by and does not prejudice any other security, right or remedy held by or available to the Franchisor at any time whether against the Guarantor, the Franchisee or any other person. If the Franchisor holds any other security for or right in respect of all or any of the monies hereby guaranteed, the Franchisor need not resort to that other security or right before enforcing its rights against the Guarantor under this Guarantee.

No interference with Franchisor’s rights

8.1

The Guarantor agrees that, until all debts and liabilities due or incurred by the Franchisee to the Franchisor under the Franchise Agreement have been paid in full (the “Debts”), it will not:

	(i)		hold the benefit of any security (including any guarantee or indemnity) in respect of any liability it might incur under this Guarantee;
	(ii)		take any step against the Franchisee (or any co-surety) in respect of any liability the Guarantor might incur under this Guarantee (for example, the Guarantor will not attempt, whether on the basis of subrogation or otherwise, to claim reimbursement of any payment, to exercise a right of set-off, indemnity or contribution in respect of any payment or to enforce any security);
	(iii)		exercise any right it might have, whether on the basis of subrogation or otherwise, to share in any security held by the Franchisor in respect of any Debts; or
	(iv)		in any insolvency proceedings (or analogous proceedings) affecting the Franchisee (or any co-surety), submit any proof or other claim or rank as a creditor in competition with the Franchisor (or with any trustee or agent acting on its behalf).

8.2		Clause 8.1 applies whatever the amount of the Debts at the relevant time and regardless of whether the Guarantor has been notified before then of any change in the amount of the Debts.
8.3		Despite the prohibition in clause 8.1 where the Franchisor instructs the Guarantor in writing to take any of the steps referred to in that clause, the Guarantor must take such steps , in accordance with the Franchisor’s written instructions. The Franchisor will not be liable for any costs incurred by the Guarantor in doing so.
8.4		Clause 8.5 applies where:

(a)

at any time, the Guarantor holds the benefit of any security or receives any money or other property or rights:

	(i)		in breach of clause 8.1; or
	(ii)		as a result of taking any action under clause 8.3; and

(b)

at any time after the Franchisor makes a demand under clause 5, the Guarantor receives any money or other property or rights from the Franchisee.

8.5

Until the Debts have been paid in full, the Guarantor must hold the relevant property for the benefit of the Franchisor, to be applied in or towards paying the Guarantor’s liabilities under this Guarantee. If, at any time, the aggregate amount of the property required to be held for the benefit of the Franchisor under this clause 8.5 would

otherwise exceed the amount of the Guarantor’s liabilities under this Guarantor at that time, this clause 8.5 will not apply with regard to the excess amount.

Miscellaneous

9.

All payments to be made by the Guarantor to the Franchisor under this Guarantee shall be made on the due date and in same day funds and to such account as the Franchisor shall specify and shall be made (a) without set-off, counterclaim or condition; (b) in the currency such payment was due as provided in the Franchise Agreement and (c) free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, duties, charges, fees or deductions of any nature unless the Guarantor is required by law or regulation to make any such deduction or withholding, in which event such payment shall be increased by such amount as may be necessary to ensure that the Franchisor receives a net amount, which, after such deduction or withholding, is equal to the full amount which the Franchisor would have received had such payment not been subject to such deduction or withholding. The Guarantor shall indemnify the Franchisor against any liability of the Franchisor in respect of such deduction and withholding and shall promptly supply the Franchisor with copies of applicable tax receipts.

10.

Any release, settlement, discharge or arrangement between the Guarantor and the Franchisor is conditional upon no assurance, security or payment by any person to the Franchisor being void, set aside or ordered to be refunded for any reason whatever including under any enactment, decree or regulation relating to bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency. If the aforesaid condition is not fulfilled, the Franchisor may enforce this Guarantee subsequently as if such release, settlement, discharge or arrangement had not occurred and any such assurance, security or payment had not been made or given.

Partial invalidity

11.		If any provision of this Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, this does not affect:
11.1		the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Guarantee; or
11.2		the legality, validity or enforceability of the affected provision under the law of any other jurisdiction.

12. All payments due under this Guarantee shall be made in US Dollars. If any amounts payable under this Guarantee are paid in any currency other than that in which they are due, they shall be converted into the due currency at the rate of exchange in Territory quoted by the Bank of Territory at the close of business on the day in which the Franchisor is in receipt of the cleared funds. If following conversion, the amount of such payment actually received by the Franchisor falls short of the amount due, the Guarantor shall fully indemnify hte Franchisor against the amount of such shortfall. 13. For the purpose of this Guarantee, a certificate or statement signed by or on behalf of the Franchisor or the Franchisor’s legal representatives relating to any sum of money claimed by the Franchisor to be due from the Franchisee under the Franchise Agreement, or relating to the performance of any obligation of the Franchisee under the Franchise

Agreement, is prima facie evidence of the amount or obligation claimed and the facts stated therein.

14. This Guarantee is binding and enforceable on the Guarantor and his or her executors and administrators.

15. This Guarantee is in favour of the Franchisor and its successors, assigns and novatees.

Suspense account

16. The Franchisor may, at any time, credit to a suspense account any money received by it under this Guarantee pending its application towards paying the liabilities of the Guarantor.

Exercise of powers as directors and/or shareholders of Franchisee

17. The Guarantor agrees and undertakes to exercise his or her powers as director or shareholder of the Franchisee as the case may be to ensure the Franchisee’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the Franchise Agreement.

Notice18. Any notice, demand or communication in connection with this Guarantee shall be in writing and may be delivered by hand, first class pre-paid post or facsimile addressed to the recipient at its registered office or its address or facsimile number as the case may be stated above (or such other address or facsimile number as may be notified in writing from time to time).
