Partnership, an Oregon Limited Partnership, d/b/a Booster Juice (hereinafter referred to as

"Booster Juice" or "Franchisor") and____________________, and____________________

(jointly and severally the "Franchisee") located at_____________________________________.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Booster Juice owns or has the right to license certain trademarks, trade names, logotypes, and service marks which include the phrase "Booster Juice" and other identifying features (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Marks,") and Booster Juice's distinctive methods and products ("Licensed Methods") for establishing and operating the Booster Juice stores, (hereinafter referred to as the "Booster Juice Store", "Business", or "Franchised Business"), all of which are designed to enhance the reputation and goodwill with the public of establishments operated pursuant to the License Methods.

WHEREAS, Booster Juice grants the right to others to own and operate Booster Juice Stores using the Marks and pursuant to the Licensed Methods;

WHEREAS, Franchisee desires to establish a Booster Juice Store at a location identified below or to be later identified, and Booster Juice desires to grant Franchisee the right to operate a Booster Juice Store at such location under the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

COVENANTS

1.         GRANT OF FRANCHISE, INITIAL FRANCHISEE FEE GRANT OF SECURITY

INTEREST

1.01 Use of Reasonable Business Judgment

Franchisor agrees to use "Reasonable Business Judgment" in the exercise of its rights, obligations and discretion under this Agreement except where otherwise indicated in this Agreement. "Reasonable Business Judgment" means that Franchisor's determination shall prevail even in cases where other alternatives are also reasonable so long as Franchisor is intending to benefit or is acting in a way that could benefit the Licensed Method by enhancing the value of the Marks, increasing customer satisfaction, or minimizing possible customer brand or location confusion. Franchisor shall not be required to consider Franchisee's particular economic or other circumstances when exercising its Reasonable Business Judgment. At no time is Franchisee or any third party (including, but not limited to any third party acting as a trier of

fact) entitled to substitute Franchisee's or its judgment for a judgment which has been made by or on behalf of Franchisor and that meets the definition of Reasonable Business Judgment in recognition of the fact that the long-term goals of a franchised system, and the long-term interests of both Franchisor and all franchisees, taken together, require that Franchisor have the latitude to exercise Reasonable Business Judgment.

1.02.    Grant of Franchise.

Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Booster Juice grants to Franchisee and Franchisee accepts from Booster Juice, the non-exclusive right to operate one (1) Booster Juice Store using the Marks and the Licensed Methods, at the location described in section 2 below (sometimes referred to as the "Franchised Business"). Franchisee agrees to use the Marks and Licensed Methods as they may be changed, improved and further developed from time to time, only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Booster Juice grants Franchisee the right to the Franchised Business in reliance upon Franchisee's representations that Franchisee will at all times faithfully, honestly and diligently perform its obligations hereunder and continuously exert its best efforts to promote and enhance the name of, and image of the Booster Juice Stores.

As part of the Franchised Business, Franchisee will be required to offer both "Proprietary" and "Non-proprietary" Products (as each such term is defined in the Operations Manual, as amended from time to time), and other goods and services, at the Franchised Business as more fully set forth in the Operations Manual. As part of the grant herein Franchisee shall provide only such Products, goods and services.

Franchisee agrees to use his, her, or its good faith best efforts in performing the duties required of it under this Agreement.

Franchisor may from time to time, add to, amend, modify, delete or enhance any portion of the Licensed Methods or any of the Marks as may be necessary in Franchisor's Reasonable Business Judgment to change, maintain or enhance the Marks, the reputation, efficiency, competitiveness and/or quality of the Licensed Methods or to adapt to new conditions, materials or technology, or to better serve the public. Franchisee at its expense, will fully comply with all such additions or modifications reasonably designated as applicable to then existing franchise owners similarly situated.

1.03.    Term of Grant & Renewal

b)   all monetary obligations owed by Franchisee to Franchisor have been satisfied and have been timely met throughout the Initial Term;

f)    at the option of Franchisor, Franchisee shall have executed Franchisor's then current form of franchise agreement and all other agreements, instruments and documents then customarily used by Franchisor in the granting of Booster Juice franchises, which agreements may contain substantially different terms (including, without limitation, financial terms) than those set forth herein (but excluding any requirement to pay an initial fee and excluding any further right of renewal); and

g)   Franchisee shall have paid to Franchisor a renewal fee in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), such renewal fee to cover Franchisor's full costs and expenses in administering the renewal including, without limitation, all legal fees and Franchisor's costs for the time expended by Franchisor's staff in connection therewith.

In the event that any of the above conditions for renewal have not been met at the end of the Initial Term, Franchisor will have no obligation to renew this Agreement and this Agreement will automatically expire at the end of such term.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Franchisee shall not be permitted to sublicense, sublease, subcontract or enter into any management agreement providing for the right to operate the Business, without the express prior written permission of Franchisor which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason at all.

(v) As of the effective date of the proposed Transfer, Franchisor shall have forwarded to Franchisee its approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld and granted in its Reasonable Business Judgment, of the proposed Transfer to the proposed transferee, in accordance with the following provisions of this section 14; and,

(vi) the proposed transferee shall sign any documents of assignment of the UCC-1 and Security Agreement to insure that the same will remain in full force and effect as to the proposed transferee.

respective present and/or proposed direct or indirect interests in Franchisee, in such form as Franchisor may require.

d)   Franchisor may require, as a condition of its approval of any proposed Transfer, satisfaction of the additional requirements set forth in section 14.02(e) in the event Franchisee is a partnership (general or limited), a limited liability entity, or privately-held corporation and the proposed Transfer, alone or together with all other previous, simultaneous and/or proposed Transfers, would have the effect of reducing directly or indirectly to less than a majority the percentage of equity and voting interest (as reasonably determined by Franchisor) owned in Franchisee in the initial equity and voting interests identified in Exhibit "D" attached hereto, or in the event Franchisee is a natural person and the proposed Transfer would result in Franchisee's loss of control of the Business. In computing the percentages of equity and voting interest owned in Franchisee for purposes of this section 14.02(d), corporate, limited liability company membership, general or limited partnership interests shall not be distinguished.

e)   The requirements for all such Transfers under section 14.02(d) are as follows:

(i) The proposed transferee must execute a new franchise agreement, namely, Franchisor's then-current form of unit franchise agreement, which may contain terms and conditions substantially different from those in this Agreement, for an initial term equal to the time remaining in the term of this Agreement as of the date of such transfer;

(ii) There shall have been paid to Franchisor, together with the application for consent to the transfer, the non-refundable transfer fee then required by Franchisor of comparable Booster Juice System Store operators (currently $5,000.00);

(iii) The transferor and the transferee shall have executed a general release under seal where required (copy attached as Exhibit "F"), in a form satisfactory to Franchisor, of any and all claims against Franchisor, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and their officers, directors, attorneys, shareholders, and employees, in their corporate and individual capacities, including, without limitation, claims arising under federal, state, and local laws, rules, and ordinances arising out of, or connected with, the performance of this Agreement or any other agreement;

(iv) The transferee shall demonstrate to Franchisor's sole satisfaction that it meets all of Franchisor's requirements for becoming a Franchisee, including, without limitation, that it meets Franchisor's managerial and business standards then in effect for similarly situated Franchisees; possesses a good moral character, business reputation, and satisfactory credit rating; is not a competitor of Franchisor; will comply with all instruction and training requirements of Franchisor and has the aptitude and ability to operate the Franchised Business (as may be evidenced by prior related business experience or otherwise);

26


(v) The transferee and/or its designated managerial personnel (as applicable) shall have completed, to Franchisor's satisfaction, the training then required by Franchisor and shall have paid to Franchisor, prior to Franchisor granting its approval of the transfer, a non-refundable training fee of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00);

(vi) All obligations, monetary or otherwise, of Franchisee or of the principals of Franchisee to Franchisor, affiliates and suppliers of Franchisor will have been satisfied in full;

(vii) The Transferee will enter into a written agreement, under seal, and in a form satisfactory to Franchisor, assuming and agreeing to discharge all of Franchisee's obligations under this Agreement;

(viii) If the transferee is a corporation or limited liability entity then the Members, shareholders, directors and officers of who hold more than a 5% interest in the transferee will provide their personal guaranty of all of Franchisee's obligations under this Agreement and any other agreement between Franchisor and Franchisee; and

(ix) Prior to the granting of approval for the transfer of Franchisee's interest in this Agreement, Franchisor will have been paid in full its transfer and training fees, which will be non-refundable.

f)   Upon the death or mental or physical incompetency (as reasonably determined by an independent third party such as a licensed doctor) of any person with any direct or indirect interest in Franchisee and who has managerial responsibility for the operation of the Franchised Business, the executor, administrator, or personal representative of such person shall transfer his interest to a third party approved by Franchisor within six months after the death or finding of incompetency. Such transfers shall be subject to the same conditions as any lifetime Transfer. If the heirs or beneficiaries of any such person are unable to meet the conditions in section 14.02(e) hereof, Franchisor may terminate this Agreement.

g)   Without in any way limiting Franchisor's right to reject a proposed transfer, if at any time during the term of this Agreement or any renewal thereof, Franchisee or any party holding an interest in Franchisee or the Franchised Business (the "Seller") obtains a bona fide offer (the "Offer") from a third party with which it deals at arms length, to acquire the whole or any part of the Seller's interest in the Franchised Business which the Seller wishes to accept, the Seller shall promptly give notice of the Offer to Franchisor together with a true copy of the Offer, a copy of Franchisee's most current financial statements, Franchisor's standard franchise application form completed by the proposed transferee, and a One Thousand Dollar ($1,000.00) nonrefundable payment for considering the request for the transfer (this payment will be applied toward the amount payable as a transfer fee under Section 14.02(e)(ii) in the event Franchisor does not exercise its right of first refusal provided by this section and consents to the transfer). Upon receipt of the foregoing, Franchisor shall have the option of purchasing the interest of the Franchised Business forming the subject

© 2003 Booster Juice Limited Partnership All rights reserved, gen fran Nov 04 Revised 2006

27


matter of this Agreement upon the same terms and conditions as those set out in the Offer except that there shall be deducted from the purchase price the amount of any commission or fee that would otherwise have been payable to any broker, agent or other intermediary in connection with the sale of such interest in the Franchised Business and Franchisor shall have the right to substitute cash for any other form of consideration specified in the Offer and to pay in full the entire purchase price at the time of closing. Franchisor may exercise its option to purchase at any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice and Offer by giving notice to that effect to the Seller. If Franchisor declines to exercise such option and if such transfer is otherwise approved by Franchisor, Franchisee shall be entitled to complete the transfer to such third party purchaser in accordance with the Offer subject to the provisions of this Agreement provided that such transfer is completed within ninety (90) days from the last day in which Franchisor could have exercised its option to purchase. If the transfer is not completed within the same ninety (90) day period, Franchisor's option to purchase under this section shall revive automatically for a further period of 30 days and continue in full force. If Franchisor exercises the option to purchase, such purchase must be completed within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of Franchisor's notice of election to purchase. Any change in the terms of the Offer, prior to the closing will constitute a new offer subject to the same rights of refusal by Franchisor as in the case of an initial offer. Failure of Franchisor to exercise the option afforded by this section will not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement including all requirements of this section 14.02 with respect to a proposed transfer.

h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that Franchisee (if an individual) may assign this Agreement, the Franchised Business, and/or Franchisee's rights and obligations hereunder on one occasion to a legal entity organized by Franchisee for that purpose only and at least a majority of all the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock and/or equity interest of which shall be owned and voted continuously by Franchisee, and further provided that Franchisor shall have approved in advance all other shareholders of such corporation or others holding equity or voting interests, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Franchisor shall be given written notice of such assignments and delegation, and thereupon such corporation shall have all of such rights and obligations, and the term "Franchisee" as used herein shall refer to such legal entity; provided, however, that such assignment shall in no way affect the obligations hereunder of the individual above designated "Franchisee", who shall remain fully bound by and responsible for the performance of all of such obligations, jointly and severally with such legal entity. Such legal entity shall at no time engage in any business or activities other than the exercise of the rights herein granted to Franchisee and the performance of its obligations as Franchisee hereunder.

i) Franchisor's consent to a Transfer of any interest in Franchisee granted herein shall not constitute a waiver of any claims it may have against the transferring party, nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Franchisor's right to demand exact compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement by the transferee.

j) Franchisor will not require approval of the assignment of all or any part of the assets of the Franchised Business or the stock or other interests in a Franchisee, excluding

© 2003 Booster Juice Limited Partnership All rights reserved, gen fran Nov 04 Revised 2006

28


this Agreement or the Franchise, to a bank or other lending institution as collateral security for loans made directly to or for the benefit of the Franchised Business. However, such approval will be required for any proposed assignment or hypothecation of this Agreement or the Franchise, which approval will not permit further transfers or assignments of this Agreement or the Franchise, without compliance by the transferee or assignee with the provisions of section 14.02 hereof.

14.03. Delegation to Regional Developer

We reserve the right to retain the services of a regional developer or other representative ("Regional Developer") in the geographic area in which the Business will be located. In such event, the Regional Developer, on our behalf, will perform certain sales, training, site assistance, and supervisory services as we direct. You agree in advance to any such delegation and assignment by us of any portion or all of our obligations and rights under this Agreement. You also acknowledge that you are not a third party beneficiary of any Regional Development Agreement or other agreement between us and any Regional Developer.

15.03. Rights and Obligations Upon Termination or Expiration

© 2003 Booster Juice Limited Partnership All rights reserved, gen fran Nov 04 Revised 2006

31


Forthwith upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Franchisee shall cease to be a Franchisee under this Agreement and the following provisions shall apply:

a)   All rights of Franchisee under this Agreement including its right to use the Licensed Methods and the Marks shall cease and Franchisee shall cease conducting the Franchised Business and using any advertising and promotional material in respect thereof;

b)   Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Franchisor, Franchisee shall pay all amounts owing by it to Franchisor up to the date of termination or expiration including, but not limited to: actual and consequential damages, costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Franchisor as a result of the termination.

c)   Franchisee shall deliver to Franchisor the Operations Manual and all trade secret and other confidential materials, equipment, software and other property owned by Franchisor, and all copies thereof. Franchisee shall retain no copy or record of any of the foregoing; provided Franchisee may retain its copy of this Agreement, any correspondence between the parties, and any other document which Franchisee reasonably needs for compliance with any applicable provision of law;

d)   Franchisee acknowledges that, as between Franchisee and Booster Juice, Booster Juice has the sole rights to and interest in all telephone, telecopy or facsimile machine numbers and directory listings whether or not associated with any Trademark. Franchisee authorizes Booster Juice, and hereby appoints Booster Juice and any of its officers as Franchisee's attorney-in-fact, to direct the telephone company and all telephone directory publishers to transfer any telephone, telecopy or facsimile machine numbers and directory listings relating to the Franchised Business to Booster Juice or its designee, should Franchisee fail or refuse to do so, and the telephone company and all telephone directory publishers may accept such direction under this Agreement as conclusive of Booster Juice's exclusive rights in such telephone numbers and directory listings and Booster Juice's authority to direct their transfer;

e)   Franchisee shall abide by the covenants not to compete and confidentiality provisions set forth in section 16 of this Agreement;

f)   Franchisee shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Collateral Assignment of Lease;

g)   Franchisee shall cease to use in advertising, or in any manner whatsoever, any methods, procedures or techniques associated with the Licensed Methods in which Franchisor has a proprietary right, title or interest; cease to use the Marks and any other marks and indicia of operation associated with the Licensed Methods and remove all trade dress, physical characteristics, color combinations and other indications of operation under the Licensed Methods from the Franchised Location. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Franchisee agrees that in the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, it will remove all signage bearing

© 2003 Booster Juice Limited Partnership All rights reserved, gen fran Nov 04 Revised 2006

32


the Marks, and, upon Franchisor's request, deliver the fascia for such signs to Franchisor, and will remove any items which are characteristic of a Booster Juice Store "trade dress" from the Franchised Location. Franchisee agrees that Franchisor or a designated agent may enter upon the Premises at any time to make such changes at Franchisee's sole risk and expense and without liability for trespass;

h) If Franchisee, having received Franchisor's consent, retains possession of the Franchised Location, Franchisee shall make such reasonable alterations in the exterior and interior decor of the Franchised Location as Franchisor deems necessary in its sole discretion to remove its identification as a Booster Juice Store;

i) At the request of Franchisor, Franchisee shall take all such actions as may be necessary to cancel any trade or business name registration which contains any of the Marks under any applicable laws or regulations and furnish Franchisor with evidence satisfactory to Franchisor of compliance with Franchisee's obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after the termination or expiration of this Agreement; and

j) Franchisee shall permit Franchisor at Franchisee's expense to enter the Franchised Location and remove any and all personal property of Franchisor and any all personal property of Franchisee which displays the Marks or any distinctive feature or device associated with the Licensed Methods, including any and all equipment, signs, advertising materials, fixtures, furnishings, inventory, invoices, supplies or forms, and make such reasonable alterations in the exterior and interior decor as Franchisor deems necessary to remove the Franchised Location's identification as a Booster Juice Store.

15.04. Option to Purchase Upon Termination or Expiration

Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Franchisor shall have an option to purchase as follows:

a) Franchisor shall have the option to purchase from Franchisee, free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances, all or any portion of the equipment, moveable leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, signs, and other assets owned by Franchisee and used in the Franchised Business (the "Franchise Assets") and the inventory, such option to be exercised by notice delivered to Franchisee within thirty (30) days of the date of the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Unless Franchisee has failed to open, the purchase price payable to Franchisee for any such inventory shall be the lower of Franchisee's cost therefor as originally invoiced to Franchisee by Franchisor or any supplier thereof, less a ten percent (10%) restocking charge; or the "Net Realizable Value" thereof. For the purposes of this section, the Net Realizable Value shall be calculated on a declining balance basis of accounting at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum. In the event Franchisee shall fail to ever open the Franchised Business, the purchase price payable to Franchisee for the Franchise Assets shall be Franchisee's cost therefor as originally invoiced to Franchisee by Franchisor or any supplier thereof, less a twenty percent (20%) administration fee.

© 2003 Booster Juice Limited Partnership All rights reserved, gen fran Nov 04 Revised 2006

33


b) If any lien or encumbrance exists on any Franchise Asset to be purchased, Franchisor shall have the right to pay the amount of such lien or encumbrances directly to the creditor. In the event the amount required to satisfy any lien or encumbrance exceeds the price to be paid by Franchisor as described in paragraph 15.04(a) above, Franchisor shall have the right to pay the amount required to purchase from the party having the benefit of the lien and or encumbrance, all or part of the Franchise Assets free and clear of liens and encumbrances (the "Purchase Price") and Franchisee shall be liable to Franchisor and shall pay forthwith to Franchisor the difference between the value as calculated in 15.04(a) above and the Purchase Price

15.05.  Continuing Obligations

The foregoing rights of Booster Juice upon termination for any reason shall not be exclusive, but shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights available to Booster Juice under the terms hereof or at law or in equity. Termination of this Agreement under any circumstances shall not abrogate, impair, release, or extinguish the debt, obligation or liability of Franchisee which may have accrued hereunder, including without limitation, any debt, obligation or liability which was the cause of termination.

All covenants and agreements of Franchisee which by their terms or by reasonable implication are to be performed, in whole or in part, after the termination of this Agreement, including without limitation, Franchisee's obligations of non-disclosure and confidentiality, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

15.06.  Governing State Law

If any mandatory provisions of governing state law prohibit termination of this Agreement as described herein or otherwise limits Booster Juice's rights to terminate by imposing different rights or obligations as are found herein, or which require renewal hereof, then such mandatory provisions of state law shall be deemed incorporated in this Agreement by reference and shall prevail over any inconsistent terms in this Agreement. If no such law exists, or if such law exists but permits Franchisee to agree to abide by the law of a state other than the state in which he, she, or, it is located, then Franchisee shall agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Oregon and the rights to terminate, the option to purchase and other rights or obligations described in this Agreement shall prevail.

16. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

16.01. Non-competition During Term

Franchisee acknowledges that, in addition to the license of the Marks hereunder, Booster Juice is also licensing the commercially valuable Licensed Method including without limitation, operations, marketing, advertising, and related information and materials (sometimes also referred to as "Trade Secrets" or "Proprietary Information," as those terms are defined by the Oregon Trade Secrets Act.) The value of this information is derived not only from the time, effort, and money which went into its compilation, but also from the usage of the same by all Franchisees of Booster Juice. Franchisee therefore agrees that during the Term of this Agreement, and except for the Franchised Business franchised herein, (and except for any other

© 2003 Booster Juice Limited Partnership All rights reserved, gen fran Nov 04 Revised 2006

34


Booster Juice Stores franchised under other franchise agreements with Booster Juice,) Franchisee and any of Franchisee's Members (if Franchisee is a limited liability entity) partners, officers, directors, owners or any other partner or member of a business entity and any of his, her, or their immediate families, shall not:

a)   have any direct or indirect controlling interest as a disclosed, undisclosed, or beneficial owner in a "Competitive Business" (as that term is defined below); or

b)   perform services as a director, officer, manager, employee, consultant, representative, agent or otherwise for a "Competitive Business."

For purposes of this Agreement the term "Competitive Business" shall mean any business which derives ten percent (10%) or more of its Gross Receipts from the sale at wholesale or retail, of any combination of any soups, smoothies, fruit juices, nutritional supplements, or snacks which are sold through a Booster Juice Store at the time of the termination for any reason.

16.02.  Post-Termination Covenant Not to Compete

Franchisee also acknowledges that in addition to being privy to the Trade Secrets and the Marks of Franchisor in the event the Franchise Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason, Franchisee could injure Booster Juice, not only because he, she, or it is no longer in the system, but, in addition, because Franchisee would be able to use the knowledge that it gained through disclosure of the Trade Secrets, the Marks and the Licensed Methods of Franchisor to take those customers it has acquired over a period of time to a Competitive Business.

Franchisee, therefore, agrees that in the event the Franchise Agreement is terminated for any reason, or if it expires, or, if Franchisee otherwise relinquishes its rights to the Franchise Agreement through assignment or otherwise, Franchisee as an individual or, if Franchisee is a business entity then Franchisee's Members (if Franchisee is a limited liability entity), partners, officers, directors, and of a corporate Franchisee shall, for a period of five (5) years, commencing on the date of termination or expiration, (or the date on which Franchisee ceases to conduct business, whichever is later,) have no direct or indirect interest (through a member of any immediate family of Franchisee, through its Members, partners, its officers, directors and owners of a corporate Franchisee or otherwise) as a disclosed, undisclosed, or beneficial owner, investor, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant, representative or agent, (or in any other capacity) in a Competitive Business within a radius of fifteen (15) miles from the center of the Franchised Business or within a radius of six (6) miles from the center of any other Booster Juice Store owned or operated by Booster Juice or any of its Franchisees.

16.03.  No Interference With Business

During the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years thereafter, Franchisee and its Members partners, officers, directors and owners of a corporate Franchisee, and his or their immediate families, shall not divert or attempt to divert any business related to, or any customer or prospective customer of the Franchised Business, by direct inducement or otherwise, or divert or attempt to divert the employment of any employee of Booster Juice or another Franchisee to any Competitive Business.

© 2003 Booster Juice Limited Partnership All rights reserved, gen fran Nov 04 Revised 2006

35


16.04. Confidentiality of Proprietary Information

Franchisee acknowledges that after execution of this Agreement, Franchisee will have access to Proprietary Information, the Licensed Methods, the Marks, and the Trade Secrets of Booster Juice. Franchisee acknowledges that the unauthorized use of such information or the disclosure of such information, or any part thereof, to unauthorized third parties will be injurious to Booster Juice. Franchisee covenants and agrees that, during and after the term hereof, it shall not make unauthorized use of, or disclose to any unauthorized third party, the License Methods, the Operations Manual, the Trade Secrets, the Proprietary Products, the system, techniques, operating procedures, marketing systems or other trade secrets or confidential information relating to the establishment and operation of a Booster Juice Franchise.

Booster Juice shall require Franchisee personally, and if it is a business entity then its Members, partners, and/or its officers, and directors, Principal Operator and/or members of Franchisee's immediate family to execute a non-disclosure and non-competition agreement containing the provisions set forth in this section 16, and further, Franchisee shall notify Booster Juice of the identity of each and every above-described person and provide Booster Juice with an originally executed copy of each such nondisclosure and non-competition agreement.

16.05 Reasonable Restrictions

These covenants are intended to be a reasonable restriction on Franchisee. For purposes of interpretation, every location of a Franchised Business or company-owned Booster Juice Store, every month of time and mile of distance, or individuals covered by these covenants shall be considered severable. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction interprets a spatial, temporal or other limitation in any of the above restrictive covenants to be overly broad, then the court shall adjust the offending limitation, either by months of time or miles of distance, or otherwise, so as to fashion a reasonably enforceable covenant which upholds the restrictive nature of these covenants to the fullest extent of the law.

16.06. Injunctive Relief

Franchisee irrevocably grants Booster Juice, in addition to other legal remedies available, the right to apply for an injunction to enforce the covenants herein and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

17. INSURANCE

17.01. Insurance Coverage

Franchisee agrees to procure and maintain with an insurer or insurers reasonably acceptable to Booster Juice, during the term of this Agreement, a policy or policies of not less than the following insurance:

a) comprehensive and general liability insurance covering the construction operation or occupancy of the Franchised Business with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 for injury to one person and $2,000,000 in the aggregate;

© 2003 Booster Juice Limited Partnership All rights reserved, gen fran Nov 04 Revised 2006

36


b)   replacement cost property insurance in an amount equal to at least 100% of the replacement cost of the building, and/or leasehold improvements and contents comprising the Franchised Business;

c)   unemployment and worker's compensation insurance with a broad form all-states endorsement coverage sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable state law;

d)   business interruption insurance for actual losses sustained for a minimum 12 month period;

e)   crime coverage (including employee theft, forgery and fraud); and

f)   machinery breakdown.

All policies of insurance shall contain a thirty (30) day advance written notice of cancellation requirement and shall designate Booster Juice, its officers, directors, partners, agents and employees as an additional insured.

The procurement and maintenance of such insurance shall not relieve Franchisee of any liability to Franchisor under any indemnity requirement of this Agreement.

17.02. Proof of Insurance

Franchisee will provide proof of insurance to Booster Juice prior to commencement of operations at its Franchised Business. This proof will show that the insurer has been authorized to inform Booster Juice in the event any policies lapse or are canceled. Booster Juice has the right to change the minimum amount of insurance Franchisee is required to maintain by giving Franchisee prior reasonable notice.

Noncompliance with the insurance provisions set forth herein shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement; in the event of any lapse in insurance coverage, in addition to all other remedies, Booster Juice shall have the right to demand that Franchisee cease operations of the Franchised Business until coverage is reinstated, or, in the alternative, pay any delinquencies in premium payments and charge the same back to Franchisee.

18. OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL FRANCHISE

COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned,_________________("Assignor") hereby assigns,

transfers and sets over unto BOOSTER JUICE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Oregon Limited Partnership ("Assignee") all of Assignor's right, title and interest as tenant in, to and under that certain lease, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the "Lease"), respecting Premises at

_____________________________________. This Agreement is for collateral purposes only and except

as specified herein, Assignee shall have no liability or obligation of any kind whatsoever arising from or in connection with this Assignment of Lease unless Assignee shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms hereof and shall assume the obligations of Assignor thereunder.

Assignor represents and warrants to Assignee that it has full power and authority to so assign the Lease and its interest therein and that Assignor has not previously, and is not obligated to, assign or transfer any of its interest in the Lease or the Premises.

Upon a default by Assignor under the Lease or under the unit franchise agreement for a Booster

event of a default by Assignor under any document or instrument securing the Franchise Agreement, Assignee shall have the right and is hereby empowered to take possession of the Premises, expel Assignor therefrom, and, in such event, Assignor shall have no further right, title or interest in the Lease.

Assignor agrees it will not allow or permit any surrender, termination, amendment or modification of the Lease without the prior written consent of Assignee. Through the term of the Franchise Agreement and any renewals thereto, Assignor agrees that it shall elect and exercise all options to extend the term of or renew the Lease not less than 30 days prior to the last day that such option must be exercised, unless Assignee otherwise agrees in writing. Upon failure of Assignee to otherwise agree in writing, and upon failure of Assignor to so elect to extend or renew the Lease as stated herein, Assignor hereby appoints Assignee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to exercise such extension or renewal options in the name, place and stead of assignor for the sole purpose of effecting such extension or renewal.

CONSENT AND AGREEMENT OF LESSOR

The undersigned Lessor under the afore-described Lease hereby:

a)    agrees to notify Assignee in writing of and upon the failure of Assignor to cure any default by Assignor under the Lease;

b)    agrees that Assignee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to cure any default by Assignor under the Lease within 30 days after delivery by Lessor of notice thereof in accordance with paragraph (a) above;

c)    consents to the foregoing Collateral Assignment and agrees that if Assignee shall take possession of the Premises and confirms to Lessor the assumption of the Lease by Assignee as tenant thereunder, Lessor shall recognize Assignee as tenant under the Lease, provided that Assignee cures within such 30-day period the defaults of Assignor under the Lease;

d)    agrees that Assignee may further assign the Lease or its interest therein or sublet the Premises to a person, firm or corporation who is a Booster Juice Franchisee who is reasonably acceptable to Lessor. In the case of an assignment, Assignee shall have no further liability or

obligation under the Lease as assignee, tenant or otherwise. In the case of an assignment of sublease, this consent and agreement of Lessor shall again apply with respect to any such subsequent Booster Juice Franchisee.
