otherwise) may be brought by any of the parties to this Agreement against anyone based upon or relating to the negotiations contemplated by this Agreement.

Furthermore, in order to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, each of the parties agrees that this Agreement may only be amended in a writing, signed by Franchisee and Franchisor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any duty or obligation whatsoever upon any party to negotiate or enter into a settlement or agreement.

3.8 No Waivers or Estoppel. No negotiations or other action undertaken pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any party’s rights under the Franchise Agreements, except to the extent specifically stated in a written agreement complying with the provisions of paragraph 3.7 of this Agreement. Subject to Article VI of this Agreement, in addition, participation in negotiations concerning the Franchise Agreement shall not restrict, inhibit or estop any party from exercising any right, remedy or power available to such party at any time (whether or not settlement negotiations are continuing) including, but not limited to, all rights, remedies and powers granted under the Franchise Agreements or otherwise available at law or in equity, or require any delay in the exercise of any such, right, remedy or power.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Franchisee and its present and prospective affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, financial advisors and equity holders) (collectively, “Representatives”), agree to treat, with the utmost strictest confidence, and not to disclose in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, the terms of this Agreement, the fact that this Agreement exists, the negotiations and discussions leading up to this Agreement, and any other information relating to this Agreement (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). The Confidential Information shall not, without the prior written consent of Franchisor, be disclosed to any person or entity other than Franchisee’s Representatives who need to know such information for the purpose of providing legal or financial advice to the Franchisee (and in those instances only to the extent justifiable by that need), who are informed by Franchisee of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and who are provided with a copy of this Article VII and agree to be bound by the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Franchisee and its representatives shall not, under any circumstances, disclose the Confidential Information to any other franchisee of Franchisor or franchisees of any affiliates of Franchisor. In any event,

8

Franchisee shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of Franchisee’s Representatives for prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information, and Franchisee agrees, at its sole expense, to take all reasonable measures to restrain its Representatives from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information. In the event that Franchisee or its Representatives are requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law or regulation or by legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, Franchisee agrees that it will provide Franchisor with prompt written notice (and copies, if applicable) of such request or requirement in order to enable Franchisor to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, to consult with Franchisee with respect to Franchisor taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process, or to waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Article VII of the Agreement. In any such event, Franchisee and its Representatives agree to (i) furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information for which Franchisor has waived compliance or for which Franchisee is advised by counsel is legally required to be furnished and (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that all Confidential Information and other information that is so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment. Immediately upon termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon the request of Franchisor, Franchisee and its Representatives shall promptly deliver to Franchisor all written material containing or reflecting any Confidential Information (including all copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part) and agree to destroy all documents, memoranda, notes and other writings whatsoever (including all copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part) prepared by Franchisee or its Representatives based on the Confidential Information. Upon the written request of Franchisor, Franchisee shall certify in writing to Franchisor Franchisee’s destruction of such documents, memoranda, notes and other writings. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, Franchisee and its Representatives will continue to be bound by the obligations imposed by this Article VII. It is further understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by Franchisee or its Representatives, and that Franchisor would be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for Franchisee’s or its Representatives’ breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to Franchisor. Franchisee shall be responsible to pay or reimburse Franchisor for any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by Franchisor in connection with the enforcement of this Article VII if it is determined that Franchisee or its Representatives has breached this Article VII; provided, however the parties agree that nothing in this Article VII shall be interpreted to restrain Franchisee from making disclosures required of it by law or regulation as an SEC reporting company.

Franchisee, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, hereby releases and forever discharges Franchisor and each of its past, present and future Representatives, Affiliates, members, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action, suits, liens, losses, costs, expenses, orders, obligations, contracts, debts and liabilities of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, fixed or contingent, both at law and in equity, that Franchisee or any of its Affiliates now has, has ever had, or may hereafter have arising contemporaneously with or prior to the date of this Agreement or on account of or arising out of any matter, cause or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release any obligations of the Franchisor arising under the Franchise Agreements after the date of this Agreement. Franchisee hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any Releasee, based upon any matter purported to be released hereby.

Without in any way limiting any of the rights and remedies otherwise available to any Releasee, Franchisee shall indemnify and hold harmless each Releasee from and against all loss, liability, claim, damage (including incidental and consequential damages) or expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorney’s fees) whether or not involving third party claims, arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with (i) the assertion by or on behalf of Franchisee or any of its Affiliates of any claim or other matter purported to be released pursuant to this Article VIII and (ii) the assertion by any third party of any claim or demand against any Releasee which claim or demand arises directly or indirectly from, or in connection with, any assertion by or on behalf of Franchisee or any of its Affiliates against such third party of any claims or other matters purported to be released pursuant to this Article VIII, or arises directly or indirectly from or in connection with any Default, any default under this Agreement, or any other obligation of Franchisee or its Affiliates.

Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California states as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

10

Franchisee understands and agrees that the release contained in this Article V is intended to include all claims, if any, which Franchisee may have and which Franchisee does not now know or suspect to exist in its favor against the Releasees and that this release extinguishes those claims. Franchisee represents and warrants to the Releasees that it has been advised by its attorney of the effect and import of the provisions of Section 1542, and that Franchisee has not assigned or otherwise transferred or subrogated any interest in any claims, demands or causes of action that are the subject of this release. Franchisee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Releasees harmless for any liability, loss, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of any person or entity asserting such assignment, transfer or subrogation. Franchisee further agrees that in the event of litigation relating to the subject matter of this release contained in Article VIII, each Releasee shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs if it is the prevailing party in such litigation.
