(b)        Employ or seek to employ any person who is at that time employed by Blendz or by Area Developer or any other Area Developer or franchisee of Blendz, or otherwise directly or indirectly induce this person to leave his or her employment; or

(c)        Own, maintain, engage in, be employed by, advise, assist, invest in, franchise, make loans to or have any interest in any business which is the same as or substantially similar to the Blendz® Stores.

11.2     Area Developer covenants that, except as otherwise approved in writing by Blendz, Area Developer shall not, for a continuous uninterrupted period commencing upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, regardless of the cause for termination, and continuing for two (2) years thereafter, either directly or indirectly, for itself or through, on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, persons, partnership or corporation, own, maintain, engage in, be employed by, advise, assist, invest in, franchise, make loans to, or have any interest in any business which is the same as or substantially similar to the Blendz® Store and which is located within a radius of fifty (50) miles of the Development Territory hereunder or the location of any area developer, company-owned restaurant, or Blendz® Store under the System which is in existence on the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement.

11.3      Sections 11.1 and 11.2 shall not apply to ownership by Area Developer of less than a five percent (5%) beneficial interest in the outstanding equity securities of any publicly held corporation.

11.4     The parties agree that each of the foregoing covenants shall be construed as independent of any other covenant or provision of this Agreement. If any or all portions of the covenants in this Section 11 are held unreasonable or unenforceable by a court or agency having valid jurisdiction in an unappealed final decision to which Blendz is a party, Area Developer expressly agrees to be bound by any lesser covenant subsumed within the terms of this covenant that imposes the maximum duty permitted by law, as if the resulting covenant were separately stated in and made a part of this Section 11.

11.5     Area Developer understands and acknowledges that Blendz shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the scope of any covenant set forth in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 in this Agreement, or any portion thereof, without Area Developer's consent, effective immediately upon receipt by Area Developer of written notice thereof, and Area Developer agrees that it shall forthwith comply with any covenant as so modified, which shall be fully enforceable.

11.6     Area Developer expressly agrees that the existence of any claims it may have against Blendz, whether or not arising from this Agreement, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Blendz of the covenants in this Section 11. Area Developer agrees to pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Blendz in connection with the enforcement of this Section 11 provided Blendz prevails in any or all of its claims against Area Developer.

11.7     Area Developer acknowledges that Area Developer's violation of the terms of this Section 11 would result in irreparable injury to Blendz for which no adequate remedy at law may be available, and Area Developer accordingly consents to the issuance of an injunction by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Agreement prohibiting any conduct by Area Developer in violation of the terms of this Section 11.

11.8     At Blendz's request, Area Developer shall require and obtain execution of covenants similar to those set forth in this Section 11 (including covenants applicable upon the termination of a person's relationship with Area Developer) from any or all of the following persons: (a) all directors, Operating Principals and Designated Store Managers of each Blendz® Store; (b) all officers, directors and holders of a beneficial interest of five percent (5%) or more of the securities of Area Developer and of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling Area Developer if Area Developer is a corporation; and (c) the members or general partners and any limited partners (including any corporation, and the officers, directors and holders of a beneficial interest of five percent (5%) or more of the securities of any corporation which controls, directly or indirectly, any general or limited partner) if Area Developer is a limited liability company or partnership. All covenants required by this Section 11 shall be in forms satisfactory to Blendz, including, without limitation, specific identification of Blendz as a third party beneficiary of these covenants with the independent right to enforce them. Failure by Area Developer to obtain execution of a covenant required by this Section 11 shall constitute a material default under Section 7 hereunder.

12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the development of the Development Territory, and shall not be modified except by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto. Under no circumstances do the parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted in a way as to grant Area Developer any rights to grant sub-franchises in the Development Territory.

104848.2

C-13


13. MONTHLY REPORTS

Area Developer agrees that it shall provide to Blendz a monthly report of its activities and progress in developing and establishing Blendz® Stores as provided herein. The monthly reports shall be submitted no later than the fifth (5th) day following the end of the preceding month during the term of this Agreement.

14.       INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AND INDEMNIFICATION

14.1      It is acknowledged and agreed that Area Developer and Blendz are independent contractors and nothing contained herein shall be construed as constituting Area Developer as the agent, partner or legal representative of Blendz for any purpose whatsoever. Area Developer shall enter into contracts for the development of the Development Territory contemplated by this Agreement at its sole risk and expense and shall be solely responsible for the direction, control and management of its agents and employees. Area Developer acknowledges that it does not have authority to incur any obligations, responsibilities or liabilities on behalf of Blendz, or to bind Blendz by any representations or warranties, and agrees not to hold itself out as having this authority.

14.2     Area Developer agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Blendz harmless from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other losses and liabilities, directly or indirectly incurred as a result of, arising from, out of, or in connection with Area Developer's carrying out its obligations hereunder.

15.       COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS

Area Developer shall develop all Blendz® Stores in the Development Territory in accordance and compliance with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, laws, ordinances and regulations and agrees to promptly pay all financial obligations incurred in connection therewith.

16.       CHANGE IN DEVELOPMENT TERRITORY

The parties acknowledge that the development of the Development Territory as anticipated hereunder has been determined according to the needs of the Area Developer's targeted market in the Development Territory, as determined by Blendz, as of the date of execution of this Agreement. The Area Developer understands that, if there is an increased public demand for the products and services offered by Blendz due to an increase in the number of individuals or corporations in the Development Territory, Blendz will expect the Area Developer to establish additional Blendz® Stores within the Development Territory. While Blendz will not require the Area Developer to establish the additional Blendz® Stores, Blendz will strongly encourage Area Developer to do so. If the Area Developer does not agree to open additional Blendz® Stores, Blendz has the right to open and operate additional Blendz® Stores in the Development Territory or franchise, license or otherwise authorize third parties to open additional Blendz® Stores in the Development Territory pursuant to this Section 16. Any

104848.2

C-14


additional Blendz® Stores opened by the Area Developer shall be governed by Blendz's then-current form of individual Franchise Agreement.

17.       SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, permitted assigns and personal representatives.

18.       APPLICABLE LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California which laws shall govern in the event of any conflict of laws, except to the extent governed by the United States Trademark Act of 1946 (Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. Sections 1051 et. seq.). The parties expressly consent to personal jurisdiction in the State of California and agree that, except as set forth in Section 21, the state and federal court(s) located in San Jose, California will have exclusive jurisdiction for the purposes of carrying out this provision.

19.       RECEIPT OF DOCUMENTS

Area Developer acknowledges receipt of the Offering Circular, Franchise Agreement, financial statements and other contracts for the Blendz® Store at least ten (10) business days before execution hereof or payment of any monies.

20.       NOTICE

21.       ARBITRATION

21.1      The parties agree that all controversies, claims and disputes between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, or any other claims or causes of action relating to the performance of either party, and/or the purchase of the franchise by Area Developer shall be finally resolved by submitting this matter to binding arbitration under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect as of the date the demand for arbitration is filed. Each party shall agree on one arbitrator selected from a panel of neutral arbitrators provided by the National Franchise Mediation Program of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (located in New York, NY), or such other arbitration body as the parties mutually agree, and the arbitrator shall be chosen by the striking method. In accordance with the terms of the Federal Arbitration Act, the Arbitrator shall hear the dispute in San Jose, California. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorney fees and one-half of the arbitrator's expenses. The arbitrator shall have no authority to amend or modify the terms of this Agreement. Each party further agrees that, unless a limitation is prohibited by applicable law, the other party shall not be liable for punitive or exemplary damages and the arbitrator shall have no authority to award the same. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. The Area Developer knows, understands, and agrees that it is the intent of the parties that any arbitration between Blendz and the Area Developer shall be of the Area Developer's individual claims and that the claims subject to arbitration shall not be arbitrated in conjunction with the claims of other area developers or franchisees or on a class-wide basis, and Area Developer hereby waives any right it may assert to have its claims arbitrated in conjunction with the claims of other area developers or franchisees or on a class-wide basis.

21.2     Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section 21, Blendz may, at its sole option, institute an action or actions for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief or seeking any other temporary or permanent equitable relief against the Area Developer that may be necessary to protect its trademarks or other rights or property. However, in Blendz's sole discretion, the final right of determination of the ultimate controversy, claim or dispute shall be decided by arbitration as aforesaid and recourse to the courts shall thereafter be limited to seeking an order to enforce an arbitral award. In no event shall the Area Developer be entitled to make, the Area Developer shall not make, and the Area Developer hereby waives, any claim for money damages by way of set off, counterclaim, defense or otherwise based upon any claim or assertion by the Area Developer that Blendz has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval to a proposed act by the Area Developer under any of the terms of this Agreement. The Area Developer's sole remedy for any claim shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions, for specific performance or declaratory judgment.

22.       MODIFICATION BY BLENDZ

Blendz may modify and update its Operations Manual, the Marks and the System unilaterally under any conditions and to any extent which Blendz, in the exercise of its sole discretion, deems necessary to meet competition, protect trademarks or trade name, or improve the quality of the products or services provided through the Blendz® Stores, and Area Developer shall exclusively incur the costs of any change in the Blendz® Store or the System which has been caused by this modification. In the event that any improvement or addition to the

104848.2

C-16


Operations Manual, the System or the Marks is developed by Area Developer, then Area Developer agrees to grant to Blendz an irrevocable, world wide, exclusive, royalty free license, with the right to sub license the improvement or addition.

23. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

23.1      Area Developer acknowledges and recognizes that different terms and conditions, including different fee structures, may pertain to different area development agreements and franchise agreements offered in the past, contemporaneously herewith, or in the future, and that Blendz does not represent that all area development agreements or franchise agreements are or will be identical.

23.2     Area Developer acknowledges that it is not, nor is it intended to be, a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or any other agreement to which Blendz is a party.

23.4     Area Developer acknowledges that it received from Blendz this Agreement with all blanks filled in at least five (5) business days before the execution of this Agreement.

23.5     Area Developer acknowledges and accepts the following:

THIS OFFERING IS NOT A SECURITY AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROMISES HAVE BEEN MADE BY BLENDZ TO INDUCE AREA DEVELOPER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED HEREIN. BLENDZ HAS NOT MADE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR GUARANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE POTENTIAL REVENUES, PROFITS OR SERVICES OF THE BUSINESS VENTURE TO AREA DEVELOPER AND CANNOT, EXCEPT UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXERCISE CONTROL OVER AREA DEVELOPER'S BUSINESS.

3.         Blendz shall not be obligated to inquire into the power or authority of the Area Developer or its partners or the officers, directors, agents, members or managers acting or purporting to act on the Area Developer's behalf and any obligation or indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the exercise of this power and authority shall be guaranteed hereunder.
