BOOSTER JUICE FRANCHISE OFFERING CIRCULAR

ITEM 1 THE FRANCHISOR. ITS PREDECESSORS AND AFFILIATES

To simplify the language in this offering circular the words "we," "our," and "us" refers to Booster Juice Limited Partnership, the Franchisor. "You" or "your" means the person, persons or entity who buys the franchise. "Developer" refers to the developer of an area under a Regional Development Agreement (RDA). If you are a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, certain provisions of the franchise agreement (Franchise Agreement) will also apply to that entity's owners. The franchise business that you will operate will sometimes be referred to as the "Business" or "stores."

The Business

Booster Juice stores offer to the public a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetable juices squeezed-to-order; smoothies; "Boosters®" (consisting of a variety of powered nutritional supplements which can be added to a drink ("Booster"®); soups; Italian panini sandwiches; quesadillas; wheatgrass; yogurt and yogurt products; muffins; teas; fruit salads; nutritional products; as well as other ancillary food products to be added to the menu from time to time, all as designated by us (the "Products") which shall be sold in connection with our trademarks, service marks, trade name and logotypes (the "Marks") and in accord with our distinctive methods In this circular, the operation of a Booster Juice store is sometimes referred to as the "Business." Booster Juice customers come to the store for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinners. They typically are health conscious and are interested in obtaining fresh and nutritious foods. Booster Juice stores are cheerful and our staff is knowledgeable as to the benefits of the Products.

You, as a single store franchisee or the Developer under a Regional Development Agreement, will pay us the cost to build-out each location (as selected by you and consented to by us) and we will build out the store in the location you find as a "Turn-key Operation." ( See Items 7 and 11 below and Franchise Agreement, Section 3.05). A "Turn-key Operation" means that we will: design the store using our plans and architects; pay for all permits required to build-out the location; hire and pay all contractors; supply the store with the initial requirements of furniture, fixtures, equipment, point-of-sale software and hardware, paper products, signs, utensils, and tools; and deliver the initial 3 to 4 day supply of perishable goods necessary to open for business the day we turn over the location to you. We will not supply permits or licenses required to operate the business, pay applicable taxes, provide insurance or furnish any other items not specifically listed above, all of which are your responsibility and expense. You will be required to place, at your expense, an order for perishable goods on the first day of operation.

If you are a Conversion Franchisee, you will pay us the cost to build-out your location and we will deliver to you a turn-key business (Conversion Turn-key) (See Item 7 and 11 below and Conversion Addendum, Exhibit I). The Conversion Turn-key means that we will: re-design the store to our then current standards using our plans and architects; pay for all permits required to build-out the location; hire and pay all contractors; supply the store with the initial requirements of furniture, fixtures, equipment, point-of-sale software and hardware, signs, paper products, utensils and tools; and will augment your current perishable inventory with perishable inventory required for operation

of the business on the day we turn over the location to you. We will not supply permits or licenses required to operate the business, provide insurance, pay applicable taxes or furnish any other items not specifically listed above, all of which are your responsibility and expense. You will be required to place, at your expense, an order for perishable goods on the first day of operation.

We offer 3 types of business programs:

1.         Single Store Franchise: The single store franchise offers you the opportunity to open a single store in a location selected by you, subject, however to our prior express written consent. The store may be located in a shopping mall or strip mall. You will be required to sign the franchise agreement ("Franchise Agreement"), a copy of which is found at Exhibit B, and other documents.

2.         Conversion Franchise: If you are not a Booster Juice Franchisee, but already own a similar business and desire to convert it to a Booster Juice Business ("Conversion Franchisee"), we will reduce the initial franchise fee to $15,000. If you are a Conversion Franchisee, you will be required to sign the Franchise Agreement with a Conversion Addendum, and other documents.

3.         Regional Development Agreement: We also offer franchises for Regional Developer Businesses to certain qualified persons. Under the Regional Development Agreement (the "RDA"), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit J. The Regional Developer agrees to have open and operating, either itself or through franchisees solicited by Regional Developer and consented to by us, a specified number of Booster Juice stores within a specified geographic area (the "Development Area"), according to the schedule contained in the RDA (the "Minimum Development Obligation"). Each Regional Developer will also assist us in rendering certain services (including training, opening assistance and ongoing supervision) to those franchisees within the Regional Developer's Development Area. As compensation for these services, the Regional Developer receives a portion of fees paid by franchisees located in its Development Area. (See Items 5 and 6 of this Offering Circular). Regional Developers must own and operate at least one Booster Juice location in the Development Area which shall serve as a prototype store and training facility. We began offering franchises for Regional Developer Businesses in November of 2004,

The market for our Products is continuing to develop, though there are several established competitors, some of which have more stores, and a higher level of name recognition, than we do in many markets. You will be competing with businesses that offer similar or competitive products, including fast food restaurants, stand-alone carts and kiosks in malls, and businesses dedicated to the same product mix as are offered by Booster Juice stores. As with all retail business opportunities, the location of your store, local advertising, and your management skill, experience and business acumen will be important factors in your ability to compete.

You should also understand the following business realities: A Booster Juice Business, like many franchises, involves substantial risks, which can never be completely eliminated. Any volume, profit and possible success are primarily dependent on your ability and efforts as an independent business operator, as well as the degree to which you follow the Booster Juice Licensed Methods. Among

UFOC 2006

2


other things, you'll be responsible for an aggressive, proactive local marketing effort using techniques consistent with the Booster Juice Licensed Methods. Finally, entry into any business venture unavoidably involves some irreducible risk of loss or failure. The purchase of a Booster Juice Franchise (or any other franchise") is a speculative investment, significant investment beyond that outlined in this Offering Circular maybe required to succeed, there are no guarantees of success and the most important factors in the success of any Booster Juice Franchise Business, including yours, are your personal business, marketing, management, judgment and other skills and your willingness to work hard and diligently follow the Booster Juice Licensed Methods. Neither we nor anyone else can guarantee your success.

2.         For the purposes of this Agreement, Gross Receipts ("Gross Receipts") shall mean and include the aggregate amount of all revenue received from all retail and wholesale sales at the Business of its inventory or supply of Products, whether for cash or credit. Excluded from the calculation of Gross Receipts shall be the amount of the discount given off the regular price of any Product in connection with the use of coupons or other discount promotions; and, federal, state or municipal sales or services taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority.

Explanatory Notes

1.         We describe the initial franchise fee in Item 5 of this Offer Circular.

2.         First Month's Rental and Deposit. You will customarily need approximately 800 to 1,300 square feet of commercial space for the operation of the Booster Juice Business. The cost per square foot of commercial space varies considerably depending on factors such as, but not limited to size, economic and market conditions, demand, and location.

3.         A single unit owner will pay us the cost to build-out your location and we will build out the store in the location you find as a "Turn-key Operation." See Items 7 and 11 below and Franchise Agreement, Section 3.05. A "Turn-key Operation" means that we will: design the store using our plans and architects; pay for all engineered drawings if required, filing of permits required to build-out the location; hire and pay all contractors; supply the store with the initial requirements of furniture, fixtures, equipment, point-of-sale software and hardware, Computer and router, paper products, signs, utensils, and tools; and deliver the initial 3 to 4 day supply of perishable goods necessary to open for business the day we deliver the location to you. The Turn-key Operation will not supply permits or licenses required to operate the business, pay applicable taxes, provide insurance, or furnish any other items not specifically listed above. You will be required to place at your expense an order for perishable goods on the first day of operation.

A Conversion Franchisee will pay us the cost to build-out the location we will deliver to him a turn-key business ("Conversion Turn-key") (Item 7 and 11 below and Conversion Addendum, Exhibit I). The Conversion Turn-key means that we will: re-design the store to our then current standards using our plans and architects; pay for all permits required to build-out the location; hire and pay all contractors; supply the store with the initial requirements of furniture, fixtures, equipment, point-of-sale software and hardware, signs,

UFOC 2006

11


paper products, utensils and tools; and will augment your current perishable inventory with perishable inventory required for operation of the business on the day we deliver the location to you. The Conversion Turn-key will not supply permits or licenses required to operate the business, provide insurance, pay applicable taxes, or furnish any other items not specifically listed above. You will be required to place at your expense an order for perishable goods on the first day of operation.

4.         In many cases, a landlord will agree to either directly pay for, or reimburse the Tenant for costs it incurs in building out the property. This is called the "tenant finish allowance," "tenant improvement allowance" or "tenant inducement (TI)." Franchisor has assumed an estimated $12.00 per sq. foot at 1,000 sq. feet will be the average TI allowance given and is payable from the landlord to the franchisee/tenant. Depending on the location and negotiated TI, this will reduce the total investment required by the franchisee. (This is generally not applicable to a Conversion Turn-key.

5.         Insurance: You must procure, maintain and provide evidence of certain insurance policies, which are described in Section 17 of the Franchise Agreement. Insurance is quoted on a per store basis.

6.         Professional Fees: You must maintain accurate books and records, kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Within 10 days after the end of each month you must submit to us your financial statements for the preceding month. We can only estimate the amount of fees which you will be required to pay to an accountant should you need such assistance in the preparation of financial statements and tax returns for the Business. You should consult with your own accountant in order to determine the initial and continuing costs of complying with our reporting and bookkeeping requirements. Further you may need to retain an attorney to review the various leases for equipment and the leasehold.

7.         Prepaid Expenses: This amount includes the estimated security deposits, utility deposits and the business license for your Business.

8.         Additional Funds: This estimates the initial amount of expenses for your first 3 months of operation of the Business, plus a component of salaries for pre-opening personnel. This includes payroll costs, but does not include any draw or salary for you. This estimate also includes amounts incurred for equipment and store maintenance, taxes, utilities, royalties, miscellaneous supplies and similar operational expenses. These figures are estimates and we cannot guarantee that you will not need additional operating capital when running the Business. Your costs and the possibility of the need for additional working capital will depend on factors such as: how much you follow our methods and procedures; your management skill, experience and business acumen; local economic conditions; the market for your Products; the prevailing wage rate; competition; and the initial sales at the Business.

9.         The law requires that we inform you of all the costs and expenses to operate your Business during its "initial phase" which is defined as 3 months or a longer period if reasonable in this industry. We are not aware of a longer period, which has been established in this industry and have therefore used the 3-month period to calculate our disclosures. We have relied upon the

UFOC 2006

12


experience of our affiliates in operating Booster Juice Stores since 2003 to compile these estimates.

10. Miscellaneous costs to begin operations and other financial requirements may be more or less than the figures specified above, as a function of the size of business (staff, anticipated volume of business, etc.) which you intend to operate, the area in which you intend to operate and other factors, as mentioned above. Many of these factors are primarily under your control in your independent operation of your franchise businesses. We have made no provision for capital or other reserve funds necessary for you to reach "break-even" or any other financial position nor do any of these estimates include any finance charges, interest or debt service obligations. You should not assume that revenues from your customers will necessarily cover your initial (or other) expenses. You should review these figures carefully with a business advisor (such as an accountant) before making any decision to purchase the franchise.

Since costs can vary with each Franchisee, we strongly recommend that you (1) obtain, before you buy a franchise or make any commitments, independent estimates from third-party vendors and your accountant of the costs which would apply to your proposed establishment and continued operation of an Booster Juice Franchise Business, (2) discuss with current Booster Juice Franchisees their economic experiences (including initial costs') in opening and operating a Booster Juice Franchise Business and (3) carefully evaluate the adequacy of your total financial reserves.

Although we make no estimates or representations regarding financial performance of Booster Juice Franchise Businesses, we recommend that, in addition to the additional funds shown, you have sufficient personal savings and/or income so that you will not need to draw funds from your Booster Juice Franchise Businesses for at least 12 months after start-up.

We do not offer direct or indirect financing to you for any items.

3.   This item estimates the travel and living expenses, including airfare, that you will incur when you and your employees attend the Regional Developer training programs described in Item 11. It does not include any wages or salary for you or your employees during training,

4.   This item estimates your initial start-up expenses for a Regional Developer (other than the items identified separately in the table). These expenses do not include payroll costs or any draw or salary for you. These figures are estimates, and we cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses starting a Regional Developer Business. Your actual costs for initial start-up expenses during your Regional Developer Business' first 3 months of operation depend on how closely you follow our methods and procedures; your management skill, experience, and business acumen; local economic conditions; the local market for Booster Juice store franchises; the prevailing wage rate; competition; and the sales level reached during the initial period.

5. We relied on our research with other franchises experience in recruiting regional developers as well as our experience in developing programs across Canada since 1999 to compile these estimates. You should review these figures carefully with a business advisor before deciding to acquire the franchise. We do not offer financing directly or indirectly for any part of the initial investment. (See Item 10.) The availability and terms of financing depend on many factors, including the availability of financing generally, your creditworthiness and collateral, and lending policies of financial institutions from which you request a loan.

Since costs can vary with each Franchisee, we strongly recommend that you (1) obtain, before vou buy a franchise or make any commitments, independent estimates from third-party vendors and your accountant of the costs that would be needed to establish and operate a Booster Juice Franchise. (2) discuss with current Booster Juice Franchisees their economic experiences (including initial costs') in opening and operating a Booster Juice Business and (3) carefully evaluate the adequacy of your total financial reserves

YOU SHOULD REVIEW THESE FIGURES CAREFULLY WITH A BUSINESS ADVISOR BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS TO PURCHASE THE FRANCHISE.

ITEM 8 - RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

You must establish, maintain and operate your Business in compliance with the Franchise Agreement and the standards and specifications contained in an operations manual provided to you as one or more manuals or other written materials (referred to in this circular as the "Operations Manual"), as may be modified by us from time to time.

Goods, Services, Supplies, Fixtures, Equipment Inventory, And Real Estate Necessary To Establish Or Operate The Business

Real Estate

If you do not already have a location, after you sign the Franchise you must promptly lease a site within the time period set forth in your Franchise Agreement. The site location, and the lease agreement are subject to the prior written approval by us, though you will be solely responsible for the site location, the terms of the lease, and for the success of the Business. Approval of a site or lease will not be unreasonably withheld. Approval of any site or the lease is not a guaranty by us of your success. All leases are subject to approval by the landlord of our Collateral Assignment of Lease (Exhibit G; Franchise Agreement, Section 3.04).

If you are a Conversion Franchisee, then approval of your site and, if leased, the lease agreement, are automatically granted as of the date that the Franchise is signed. (Conversion Addendum); except that the landlord must sign our Collateral Assignment of Lease (Exhibit G).

The Collateral Assignment of Lease grants us the right to take control of the leased space in case of breach of the Franchise Agreement or the Collateral Assignment of Lease all in accordance with

UFOC 2006

15


Exhibit G (Franchise Agreement, Section 3.04).

Upon termination of the lease or upon termination of the Franchise for any reason, you will be required to "de-identify" the premises which means that you shall be required to: remove all Marks; discontinue selling the Products; and modify the interior and exterior in such a manner as to make it clear that it is no longer a Booster Juice Business.

We will complete all tenant improvements as part of the Turn-key Operation or Conversion Turnkey. (Items 1 and 7; Franchise Agreement, Section 3.05)

Goods. Supplies, Inventory and Services

You must serve all of the Products that we specify. You may not serve any other products, or provide any other goods or services not otherwise authorized by us. After you are open for business, you are obligated to purchase or lease all such goods, supplies, perishable and other inventory and services as are necessary to operate the Business, all in accordance with our standards and specifications and only from sources approved by us. Many of the paper products, paper forms, non-perishable inventory, goods, and supplies will be required to have our Marks on them. Many of the Marked items can only be purchased through us. We may require that all items or goods, which display our Marks, be purchased through us (Franchise Agreement, Articles 9 and 10).

We will require you to use certain proprietary recipes in the preparation and delivery of our -Products. The ingredients in these recipes may be required to be purchased through us, or, if we do not offer them, then through suppliers that we have approved and which have signed the necessary protective covenants. We will not be required to disclose the same to any other vendor or supplier. After you open, you will be required to purchase sufficient goods to provide adequate services on a daily basis to your customers (Items 1 and 7; Franchise Agreement, Article 9).

We will also require you to carry certain non-proprietary food items including but not limited to condiments, add-in nutritional/herbal powder mixes and the like. All such goods and items of inventory must be carried in quantities sufficient to meet the needs of the customers. The same may be purchased from: us; suppliers that we have designated; or, suppliers that we have approved using the method for approval more fully set forth below. We reserve the right to cause any nonproprietary good or item of inventory to be manufactured with our own Marks in which case you shall be required to also purchase the same from: us; from a supplier that we designate; or, from a supplier that we have approved using the criteria set forth below.

All recipes and a complete listing of all goods, services, inventory, and items to be carried in the store will be disclosed to you in the Operations Manual or by separate written notice. Further, the Operations Manual, will provide you with our standards and specifications and the list of approved suppliers (Franchise Agreement, Section 10).

As consumer preferences and trends are established or changed, as determined by our customer base, and as we develop new or improved Products, we reserve the right to reformulate our recipes, product mix, inventory, goods and services to meet these demands. We will notify you of the same through changes in the Operations Manual and through written notification.

UFOC 2006

16


If you are a Conversion Franchisee, you shall begin offering the services required by the Operations Manual as soon as is practicable, which shall be mutually agreed upon by both of us prior to signing the Franchise Agreement (Item 1 above; Conversion Addendum).

You will also be required to set up an operating account at a bank of your choice which account will be subject to the electronic withdrawal by us of all funds due to us (referred to as an electronic funds transfer or "EFT".)

Equipment and Fixtures

Initial requirements for all furniture, fixture, computer software and hardware and equipment are all supplied as part of the Turnkey Operation or the Conversion Turn-key. The identity of all such items will be disclosed in the Operations Manual. Replacement and spare equipment and Fixtures must be the same make and model as originally supplied or updated version of same make and model, unless otherwise approved in writing (Franchise Agreement, Article 10).

Insurance

You must carry the minimum insurance coverage described in the Franchise Agreement and the Operations Manual. Currently you will be required to carry insurance policy or policies protecting you, us and our officers, directors, partners, agents and employees against any loss, liability or expense whatsoever from perils arising or occurring upon or in connection with the Franchised Business, or by reason of the construction, operation or occupancy of the Franchised Business. You will also be required to carry business interruption insurance for actual losses sustained for a minimum 12 month period (Franchise Agreement, Article 17).

All policies of insurance shall contain a 30 day advance written notice of cancellation requirement and shall designate Booster Juice as an additional named insured. You will provide proof of insurance to us prior to commencement of operations at the Business.

Booster Juice has the right to change the minimum amount of insurance and coverage you are required to maintain by giving you prior reasonable notice. You may purchase insurance from any source. The procurement and maintenance of such insurance shall not relieve you of any of any liability to us or any indemnity requirement of the Franchise Agreement (Franchise Agreement, Article 17).

Proprietary Materials

We have the right to develop new, or may modify at any time any proprietary materials including new goods, services, inventory items, promotional materials, and signs, and any such proprietary materials may be available only from us on a fee or no-fee basis, including a reasonable mark-up at our sole discretion. All franchisees shall be given reasonable written notice of the same and shall be given a reasonable time, in our sole and exclusive discretion, within which to comply with such directives.

UFOC 2006

17


Approval Process

You may wish to obtain non-proprietary goods, services, inventory, and supplies, from sources not authorized by us. We will not unreasonably withhold our approval of a different supplier of your choosing so long as the supplier meets our standards and specifications and the cost to you is below the cost of our authorized suppliers. If you want to purchase any of the same from a supplier not previously approved by us, then you must first obtain our approval by submitting a written request identifying the proposed supplier and its products. We may request a sample of each such item along with test data, or other information to determine the quality of the same. We will notify you of our approval or disapproval within 30 days after we receive all of the information, which we may request from you or the proposed supplier. If we do not respond within such 30-day period, the proposed supplier shall be deemed to be disapproved by us (Franchise Agreement, Section 10.04). Currently there is no fee charged by us for participating in the approval process. We do however, reserve the right to charge a fee at some later date and shall notify you of this charge by an update to the Operations Manual.

In considering the approval of a new supplier, we will take into consideration the ability of the supplier to deliver it items in a timely and consistent basis. Further we may condition our approval on the supplier agreeing in writing not to disclose any confidential information regarding us or our operations, to comply faithfully with our specifications for the items it sells, to sell any materials bearing our marks only to our franchisees, and on the supplier demonstrating to our reasonable satisfaction that it is able to supply commodities meeting our specifications on a continuing basis, and that the supplier is, and will continue to be, of good standing in the business community, financial soundness and reliability of its product(s) and services (Franchise Agreement, Section 10.04).

Volume Purchase Agreements

We may negotiate volume purchase agreements with some vendors for the purchase of goods and equipment needed to operate your Business. We have negotiated a purchase supply agreement with the following vendors:

Name of Vendor                  Supplies

Sysco                                   raw materials, paper products, cleaning supplies

Southwest Traders                raw materials, paper products, cleaning supplies

Damon Industries                  100% Juice Products

Win Cup                              Booster Logo cups

Meadow Gold Dairy              100% Natural Sorbet and Frozen Yogurt

Generations Packaging

and Distribution         Boosters

Though there is none at this time, we may in the future, using our Reasonable Business Judgment, develop a regional purchasing cooperative in your area. The purpose of the purchasing cooperative will be to provide to you, Products, goods, services, items, inventory, furniture, fixtures, equipment or any other item used in the Business at a more competitive price. Upon the creation of the same,

UFOC 2006

18


you will be required to participate in the program. Any item carried by such cooperative will be of the same or better quality as then required by us and by any other franchisee.

We do not provide or withhold material benefits to you (such as renewal rights or the right to open additional Businesses) based on whether or not you purchase through the sources we designate or approve. However, purchases of unapproved products or from unapproved vendors in violation of the Franchise Agreement will entitle us, among other things, to terminate your Franchise Agreement.

Modification

We may modify any specification as to any good, service, supply, item of inventory, Product, items in the Turn-key Operation or Conversion Turn-key or any other item or matter pertaining to the Business at any time, on a local, regional or national basis, by amendment to the Operations Manual or by written notice to you. Once you are notified, you must make the change that is specified and within the timeframe specified on the notification.

Categories Of Goods And Services That We Are The Only Approved Supplier

You will be required to purchase from us the following Products:

The Turn-key Operation and Conversion Turn-key; Boosters®; uniforms and other clothing which contain our Marks; printed materials (which contain our Marks); and all other items or goods which contain the Booster Juice logo or trademark. As well, we may from time to time designate certain other products or items that may be required to be purchased from us, including but not limited to new items required in connection with new product introductions.

Except as described in this circular, there are no other Products, goods, services, item of inventory, items of FF&E or items of Decor that you will be required to purchase from us.

The Precise Basis By Which Booster Juice Will Or May Derive Revenue Or Material Consideration As A Result Of Required Purchases Or Leases

We receive additional income from a markup on products directly supplied to the franchisees by us and/or rebates or commissions derived as a distribution fee for services relating to the price negotiation, tracking and sale of supplies, products and other related goods via a percentage of the purchase price (the "Distribution Fee"). This additional income may include things like convention expenses, advertising and other overhead at our sole discretion.

The Estimated Proportion Of Required Purchases And Leases To All Purchases And Leases By You Of Goods And Services In Establishing And Operating The Business

We will deliver to you the Turn-key Operation or Conversion Turn-key which will include all of the initial requirements to operate the store. This represents virtually all of the purchases and leases that you will be required to purchase in establishing your store.

UFOC 2006

19


After you open, virtually all of your purchases necessary to operate the business will come from us, or suppliers approved by us.

UFOC 2006

Advertising Programs

You must spend a minimum 1.5% of the monthly Gross Receipts on local advertising ("Advertising Allocation"). You must submit monthly reports to us that describe your advertising expenditures for the previous month and plans for the next month. Your use of any of the materials supplied in the LSM (so long as no material changes are made to it) are deemed to be approved by us. Any advertising that is not already in the LSM must first be approved by us before use. These materials must be delivered to us no later than (10) calendar days before proposed use. If we do not provide written comments on the proposed materials in that time, they are deemed to be disapproved. All advertising must contain our Marks (Franchise Agreement, Section 11.03). The cost to place such advertising in any media (e.g. television or print) is your sole cost and expense.

You are required to remit 2% of the monthly Gross Receipts to us for a national advertising program ("National Advertising Fee"). The amount of the National Advertising Fee may be changed from time to time upon 30 days prior written notice, except that the amount of the National Advertising Fee plus the required local advertising required spending, will not exceed 5% of your Gross Receipts for any year. The National Advertising Fee will be due at the same time as your Royalties and as part of the EFT withdrawal. The National Advertising Fees will be placed in an interest bearing checking account, savings account, or any other account of our determination ("Account"). The Account will be administered by us at our sole discretion and may be used by us for all advertising expenditures reasonably intended to benefit all stores, and for the payments of costs related to administering the Account, such as reasonable salaries, administrative costs, travel expenses and overhead as we may incur in fulfilling activities related to the administration of the Account. We make no guarantee to you or to any other franchisee that advertising expenditures from the Account will benefit you or any other franchisee directly and on a pro rata basis. We will assume no other direct or indirect liability or obligation to you with respect to collecting amounts due to the Account or with respect to maintaining, directing or administering the Account. (Franchise Agreement, Section 11.03).

Any company-owned Businesses will participate in any national or regional advertising programs on the same basis as franchisee-owned Businesses.

The National Advertising Fee will be used for the creation of various advertising and promotional products including the LSM. The media in which such advertising may be disseminated includes printed materials, posters, window clings, danglers in store, creation of radio and print on a local or regional basis. The advertising will be produced by a national or international advertising agency. A portion of the National Advertising Fee may in our discretion be allocated back to a regional advertising cooperative.

Upon your prior written request, we will make available to you, no later than 120 days after the end of each calendar year, an annual financial statement for the Account.

We reserve the right, upon 30 days prior written notice to you, to allocate all or a portion of the National Advertising Fees to a regional advertising program for the benefit of Businesses located within a particular region. We have the right to determine the composition of all geographic territories and market areas for the implementation of such regional advertising and promotion campaigns and to require that you participate in such regional advertising programs as and when they

UFOC 2006

25


may be established by us. If a regional advertising program is implemented on behalf of a particular region, we will only use contributions from Booster Juices franchisees within such region for the particular regional advertising program, to the extent reasonably calculable by us. We may also establish an advertising cooperative for a particular region to enable the cooperative to self-administer the regional advertising program. If a regional advertising cooperative is established in your area, you must participate in it. (Franchise Agreement, Section 11.03).

In addition, to the Advertising Allocation, you must spend at least $1,000 to promote the Grand Opening of your Booster Juice Business.

You must also maintain, at your own expense, one or more telephone numbers which must be listed in the 'free' sections of both the "white" and "yellow" pages of your local telephone directory (Franchise Agreement, Section 11.03).

Cash Register Systems and On-Line monitoring

As part of the Turn-key Operation or Conversion Turn-key, you will be supplied with point of sale cash register system ("POS System") that will track among other things, inventory, sales, discounting, and taxes. You will be required to maintain high-speed Internet access to the POS System, and use your best efforts to keep all equipment we supplied connected, powered on and in good working order, to ensure our access to the information and data regarding your Booster Juice Business. We will poll your system at such times as we deemed appropriate. In additional we will make available certain aggregate data (without identifying the name of any franchisee or his location) to help you manage your store better. You may be required to update the software or hardware in the POS System. We will notify you of this by an amendment to the Operations Agreement. There is no separate license required for use of the POS System software (Franchise Agreement, Section 12.01(d)).

Maintenance of the Business

Pursuant to the Operations Manual (Franchise Agreement, Article 7) and the Quality Control Standard (Franchise Agreement, Article 10), you will be required to maintain the interior and exterior of the Business in a clean, orderly and sanitary manner. Further we shall have the right, on or after the third anniversary of the opening of the Business to require you to perform such remodeling, repairs, replacements and redecoration, including the replacement or addition of new FF&E, so that the Business is up to the then-current standards of a newly developed Business.

Franchise Business Location Selection

You are responsible for locating a site for the Business within 30 days after you sign the Franchise Agreement. We have 30 days to approve or disapprove your site. If we do not approve your first proposed site, you will have 60 more days to find another site and submit it to us for approval. After we approve the site, you will have 30 days to lease the site and submit it to us for approval. We will approve or disapprove the lease agreement within 15 days after receipt.

UFOC 2006

26


Our assistance in connection with the selection and approval of a location is generally limited to the provision of written criteria for a satisfactory Business location, an on-site inspection and the review of information provided by you to determine whether the location fulfills the requisite criteria. The following factors are considered by us when we review a proposed site: (1) demographics; (2) traffic patterns; (3) parking; (4) competition; (5) visibility; (6) access; and, (7) the residential to commercial mixture. Our approval of a location does not infer or guarantee the success or profitability of an approved location in any manner.

Our approval of any lease does not infer or guaranty the success or profitability of the site.

If you fail to meet the deadlines for the selection of a site or submit incomplete information regarding the site to us, we will allow you 15 days to cure the deficiency. If you fail to do so, we have the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement.

A Conversion Franchisee's site is deemed approved upon full execution of the Conversion Addendum, Franchise Agreement. The Conversion Franchisee will pay for the Conversion Turn-key and we will complete the same. A Conversion Franchisee will not, however, be required to use best efforts to negotiate with the landlord to enter into a Collateral Assignment of Lease Agreement.

Schedule For Opening

The typical length of time between the signing of the Franchise Agreement and the opening of the Business will be 5 months (Development Period.) We will extend the Development Period for a reasonable time in the event factors beyond your reasonable control prevent you from meeting the deadlines and you request an extension of time from us at least 15 days before the end of the Development Period. The factors which may affect this time period include, but are not limited to, your ability to locate a site, secure financing, the upgrading or remodeling of a conversion location, obtain a lease, and our ability to complete the Turn-key Operation or Conversion Turn-key.

Training Information

We provide an initial training program to be conducted in Edmonton, Canada or at an alternative location to be determined by us. The initial training program is offered by us no less than once per month. The initial training program is typically a 10-day program, although in our discretion we may increase or decrease the length of the program by no more than 2 days depending on class size and experience. The program will include instruction on the purchasing and preparation of the raw materials used to make our Products, discussion of the recipes, merchandising, ordering, receiving, customer relations, accounting, franchise compliance, personnel management, quality control, nutrition education and marketing.

Up to two people may participate in our initial training program without charge of a tuition or fee. You will be responsible for any and all transportation and living expenses which are incurred in connection with attendance at the training program. You, and any person designated to manage your Business (the "Principal Operator") must successfully complete the initial training program prior to the opening of your Booster Juice Business. You will not be allowed to open your Business until you

and the Principal Operator receive a certificate from us which shows that you have successfully completed the training program.

We will make the initial training program available to replacement or additional Principal Operators during the term of the Franchise Agreement. We reserve the right to charge a tuition or fee, commensurate with our then current published prices, for such training, payable in advance. You will be responsible for the payment of all travel and living expenses which are incurred by your personnel during attendance at the training program. The availability of the training program to such additional individuals will be subject to space considerations and prior commitments to new Booster Juice franchisees.

You or your Principal Operator will be required to attend any seminars, conventions, programs or meetings offered by us and which we deem to be mandatory. We will not require that you attend any mandatory programs more than once a year. All mandatory training will be offered without charge of a tuition or fee but you will be responsible for all travel and living expenses which are associated with attendance at such programs.

Training will be conducted after the Franchise Agreement is signed and before you open. We provide the following training:

We will hold training programs at our corporate headquarters, at an operating Booster Juice store, and/or at other locations we designate. We plan to be flexible in scheduling training. There currently are no fixed (i.e., monthly or bi- monthly) training schedules for Regional Developers.

UFOC 2006

29


If we determine that you cannot complete initial training to our satisfaction, we may, at our option, either require you to attend additional training at your expense (for which we may charge reasonable fees) or terminate the Franchise Agreement. If we determine that your Store Manager or any of your employees has failed to satisfactorily complete the training program, you agree to immediately hire a substitute and promptly arrange for such person to complete the training program to our satisfaction. You shall pay the charges we establish for training programs furnished to individuals who replace a manager or employee who has previously attended the training program.

We may require you and/or previously trained and experienced employees at the Store to attend up to 7 days of additional or refresher training courses each year and a national business meeting or convention up to 3 days per year at the times and locations we designate. We may charge reasonable fees for these courses, conventions and programs. You are responsible for all travel and living expenses.

If you sign our RDA, then you and your managers will attend the Booster Juice Store training program described above under the Franchise Agreement for the Store or Stores which you own or operate. In addition, you must attend and satisfactorily complete our 5 day Regional Developer training program. The Regional Developer training is held at our corporate headquarters and covers topics such as marketing, franchise sales, franchise law compliance and site selection.

Use of Reasonable Business Judgment

Under the Franchise Agreement, we will agree to use our "Reasonable Business Judgment" in the exercise of our rights, obligations and discretion under the Franchise Agreement, the Conversion Addendum, the RDA, or any other agreement between us. "Reasonable Business Judgment" shall mean that our determination shall prevail even in cases where other alternatives are also reasonable so long as we are intending to benefit or are acting in a way that could benefit the Licensed Method and the entire system, by, for instance and not by way of limitation, enhancing the value of the Marks, increasing customer satisfaction, minimizing possible customer brand or location confusion, changing any standard of the Licensed Method, changing the Operations Manual, changing the interior or exterior appearance of the Business, and changing the content of recipes and the mix of menu items. We shall not be required to consider your particular economic or other circumstances when exercising our Reasonable Business Judgment. At no time may you or any third party (including, but not limited to any third party acting as a trier of fact) be entitled to substitute your judgment for a judgment which has been made by or on behalf of us 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 you, us and all franchisees, taken together, require that we have the latitude to exercise Reasonable Business Judgment.

ITEM 12 - TERRITORY

You will operate your Booster Juice Business at a specific location which is identified as the "Franchised Location" in the Franchise Agreement. You may not relocate your Franchised Location without our prior written approval, which we will not unreasonably withhold, so long as the new location meets our then current standards for an acceptable site. If your Franchise Agreement is

UFOC 2006

30


executed before a location is selected and approved for the Business, then you will be responsible for choosing and acquiring a location for your Business within an agreed upon designated geographic area (Franchise Agreement, Section 2). This is not an exclusive territory.

If you sign an RD A then, so long as you comply with the RD A and during its term (and except as provided below), neither we nor our affiliates will establish, or grant rights to other persons to establish another Booster Juice store the physical presence of which is located in the Development Area (other than franchisees you recruit). The Development Area will typically be a geographic area containing between 1.4 and 14 million persons. There is no specific minimum or maximum area that we must include in the Development Area. In determining the size of the Development Area, we primarily consider your capacity to recruit and provide services in the Development Area and the number of Booster Juice stores we believe the Development Area can sustain. We identity the Development Area, the Development Fee, and the Minimum Development Obligation in the RDA before you sign it. You are not granted any options or similar rights to acquire additional territory. If you fail to satisfy the Minimum Development Obligation under the RDA, we may terminate the agreement. You have no options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional territory under the RDA.

Except as described above, we offer no exclusive territory. We offer no right of first refusal to purchase additional sites. You may apply to purchase additional units and you application will be considered so long as none of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) you are not then in compliance with the Franchise Agreement or have previously failed to substantially comply with the Franchise Agreement; (2) we determine, in our sole discretion, that you do not meet our then current standards for new franchisees of Booster Juice Stores; (3) we determine, in our sole discretion, that you lack the financial resources to develop and operate an additional Booster Juice Store; (4) you fail to sign a franchise agreement (containing our then-current terms and conditions) for the additional Booster Juice Store within 30 days of the date we deliver a franchise agreement for signature. There is no limit to the number of stores that may be purchased in this manner; except that we reserve the right to determine your ability to operate additional stores by examining your financial and business capabilities and to approve of any site or lease in the same manner as would be exercised if you were a new franchisee. In addition, we reserve the right to withhold granting additional locations at our sole discretion for any reason or for no reason at all.

We may establish other franchises or company-owned outlets selling similar Products or services under the same or different trade name or trademark, at any location, regardless of its proximity to you. Booster Juice or its affiliates may license and distribute Booster Juice brand named Products and Products bearing our Mark, including but limited to the Products, other food and beverage products, clothing, souvenirs and novelty items, through any outlet whether or not operating under Our name and through any distribution channel, at any location regardless of the proximity to you including but not limited to malls, kiosks, trucks, via the internet, or any other distribution channel..

Further we retain the rights, among others: (1) to use and to license others to use, the Marks and Licensed Methods for the operation of a Booster Juice Business at any location; (2) to acquire the assets or ownership interests of one or more businesses providing products similar to those provided at Booster Juice Stores, and franchising, licensing or creating similar arrangements with respect to these businesses once acquired, wherever these businesses (or the franchisees or licensees of these

UFOC 2006

31


businesses) are located or operating (including within your Territory or Development Area (if applicable)); (3) to use the Marks and Licensed Methods in connection with similar products and services in alternative channels of distribution without regard to location, including mail order sales; and (4) to use and license the use of other proprietary marks or methods in the sale of products and services similar to those which you will sell, whether in alternative channels of distribution or in connection with the operation of businesses, which are the same as, or similar to, or different from Booster Juice Stores, at any location, and on any terms and conditions as we deem advisable and without granting you any rights to them; (5) being acquired (regardless of the form of transaction) by a business providing products similar to those provided at Booster Juice Stores, or by another business, even if such business operates, franchises and/or licenses competitive businesses within your area or Development Area (if applicable).

We have no present plans to establish other related franchises or company-owned businesses selling similar Products or services under a different name or Marks, although we reserve the right to do so.

The continuation of your right to operate at any Franchised Location within a Development Area during the term of the Franchise Agreement may be dependent upon achievement of any certain sales volume, market penetration or similar contingency.

There are no provisions for returning any funds to you if you are unable to find an acceptable site; except that we will cooperate with you in finding an acceptable site

ITEM 13 - MARKS

Registration            Description of                             Principal/            Registration

Number                  Mark                                          Supplemental Date

Register

2,118,649               For Alcohol-free beverages,          BOOSTER         December 9, 1997

namely fruit juice and vegetable juice, in class 32 (US class 45,46 and 48)

The Mark is entered on the Principal Registry. All required affidavits for the Mark have been filed.

The Mark was originally registered by Schaff-Brau Rudolf Schaff GmbH & Co. KG, a German company ("Schaff) in 1997. We then purchased full ownership rights to the Mark in March 2005 by an assignment agreement that has been recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. Schaff was granted an exclusive worldwide license to use the Mark on their energy drink products.

Under the franchise agreement you will be granted the non-exclusive right to use the Mark and related design in the operation of your Business. You may also use our other current or future Marks, service marks, logos or trade names as we may make available to you to identify your Business (Marks.)

UFOC 2006

32


Determinations

No presently effective determination of the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any trademark administrator of any state or any court limits or restricts our right to use or license the use of the Marks.

Protection

You must follow our rules when you use the Marks. You may not use the words "Booster®" or "Booster Juice" in the legal name of your corporation, partnership or any other business entity.

You must modify or discontinue your use of the Mark if we require the modification or discontinuance of it, at your own expense.

Except as described in this circular, no agreements limit our right to use or license the use of the Marks.

We are not contractually obligated by the Franchise Agreement to protect you against claims of infringement or unfair competition with respect to your use of the Marks, but it is our policy to do so when, in the opinion of our legal counsel, your right to use the Marks requires protection. In such a case, we will pay all costs, including attorneys' fees and court costs, associated with any litigation required to defend or protect your authorized use of the Marks. You must cooperate with us in any such litigation.

We are not currently aware of any unauthorized use of any of the Marks.

During the term of the Franchise and thereafter, you may not directly or indirectly contest, derogate or disparage any of the Marks.

Common Law Rights

We have certain common law rights to the Marks by using them throughout the United States. We may also have the right to exclude others from using the Marks, or marks which are considered to be so close in appearance to ours that they would be deemed to be "confusingly similar."

Infringing Uses

We are not aware of any infringing uses which might materially affect your use of the Marks licensed to you. If you learn of any infringing use, you must promptly notify us. We will decide in our discretion whether or not to prosecute and our decisions will be final.

Modification

We may add to, delete, or modify the Mark. You must accept, use, or cease using, as may be applicable, the Marks, including modified or additional Marks in accordance with our prescribed procedures, policies, rules and regulations whether contained in the Operations Manual, in the

UFOC 2006

33


Franchise Agreement, or otherwise. You will not be compensated as a result of any discontinuation or modification.

ITEM 14 - PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

There are no patents or copyrights that are material to the franchise.

Our Operations Manual and related materials are considered proprietary and confidential and are considered to be our property to be used by you only as described in the Franchise Agreement. You may not use our confidential information in any unauthorized manner and must take reasonable steps to prevent its disclosure to others.

ITEM 15 - OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTUAL OPERATIONS OF THE FRANCHISE BUSINESS

You, as the owner of a single unit or as a Developer (or a managing shareholder, member (if you are a limited liability entity) or partner) are not obligated to participate personally in the direct operation of your Business, although we recommend that you do so. If you (or your managing partner or shareholder) do not participate in the day-to-day operation of the Business, you must designate the on-site manager as the "Principal Operator," who shall be responsible for the direct on-premises supervision of the Booster Juice Business. If you are a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, we do not require that your Principal Operator own an equity interest in such entity. You or, if applicable, the Principal Operator, are required to successfully complete our mandatory initial training program prior to the opening of the Booster Juice Business.

If you are a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, each of your officers, directors, partners, shareholders or members, as applicable, and immediate family members, will be required to sign a nondisclosure and non-competition agreement in the form contained in Exhibit F to this Offering Circular. Other than the above, we make no other recommendations and have no other requirements regarding employment or other written agreements between you and your employees.

If you are a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, each of your officers, directors and shareholders, partners or members who own a 5% or more interest in your entity, will be required to sign the Guaranty Agreement (Exhibit E to Franchise Agreement) personally assuming and agreeing to perform all obligations under the Franchise Agreement.

ITEM 16 - RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT THE FRANCHISEE MAY SELL

You must offer for sale and sell all those Products and services that we have set forth in the Operations Agreement or in written notice to you. You may not offer for sale any Products or perform any services that we have not approved, nor can you engage in any other business enterprise, other than the Booster Juice Business at the store.

UFOC 2006

34


We have the right to change the types of authorized Products and services, and there are no limits on our right to do so, although we will provide you with written notice 30 days before any change becomes effective (Items 8 and 9 and Franchise Agreement, Articles 9 and 10).

We place no restrictions upon your ability to serve customers provided you do so from the location of your Business in accordance with our standards as set forth in the Operations Manual and in written notice sent to you.

All Products and any foods served at the store must be prepared only by properly trained personnel strictly in accordance with our requirements as found in the Operations Manual.

Business and Professions Code section 20010 voids a waiver of your rights under the franchise relations act (Business and Professions Code sections 20000 through 20043). If the franchise agreement contains a provision that is inconsistent with the law, the law will control. The Franchise Agreement requires application of the laws and forum of the state of Oregon. This provision may not be enforceable under California law.                                                                                              r

No person or franchise broker listed in Item 2 above is subject to any currently effective order of any national securities association or national securities exchange, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, U.S.C.A. 78a et seq., suspending or expelling these persons from membership in any association or exchange.

As to Illinois franchisees, termination and non-renewal of the franchise is governed by Illinois law, and to the extent of any inconsistent provisions in the franchise agreement, Illinois law will prevail

As to Maryland franchisees, binding arbitration, which is the sole relief available (except for certain claims concerning patents and trademarks, and except for the application for equitable relief) and is required under the Franchise Agreement. Arbitration will be held in Oregon, if permitted by the law of Maryland. Costs for arbitration including attorney's fees, expert witness fees, transportation, lodging and the like can exceed $40,000. Any general release which you maybe required to sign will not apply to a liability against us based on the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law.
