JUICE IT UP FRANCHISE OFFERING CIRCULAR

1. THE FRANCHISOR, ITS PREDECESSOR AND AFFILIATES

The purpose of this offering circular is to familiarize you with important legal and business aspects of Juice It Up Franchise Corporation and of the franchise it offers to qualified individuals and companies. To simplify the language, we will refer to Juice It Up Franchise Corporation, the franchisor, as "Juice It Up" and the person or company that is granted a franchise by Juice It Up as "you."

The word "you" does not include your owners, who will be described "Related Parties." "Affiliate" means a company controlled by, controlling, or under common control with Juice It Up. For purposes of this Item 1 only, "Affiliate" further means that the company to which it refers offers franchises in any line of business or provides products or services to franchisees of Juice It Up. The word "Predecessor" means a company from which Juice It Up, within the past ten years, acquired, directly or indirectly, the major portion of its assets.

Juice It Up was organized in California on May 29, 1998. Juice It Up's principal business office is located at 17915 Sky Park Circle, Suite J, Irvine, CA 92614. The name and address of its agent for service of process in this state is stated in Exhibit A-1 to this offering circular. It has no Predecessor.

Juice It Up's Affiliate, Juice Ventures, Inc. ("JVI"), was organized in California on April 19, 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware on March 31, 1999. JVI's predecessor, Juice It Up, LLC, a California limited liability company, was organized on January 17, 1995. JVI's address is 17915 Sky Park Circle, Suite J, Irvine, CA 92614. JVI's agent for service of process in this state is the same as Juice It Up's. Neither JVI nor its predecessor has ever offered franchises.

Juice It Up does business under the fictitious business name "JUICE IT UP." Its only business is to grant JUICE IT UP franchises and provide assistance to its franchisees in the operation and promotion of their franchised juice bars. Juice It Up offered licenses from 1996 until 1998. As of December 31, A2Q05. it had Af> licenses

-1-

LOSANGELES 231239v9 62765-00003


and ASH franchises similar to the franchised business. Juice It Up has never granted any other franchise.

The business you will operate under the franchise agreement is an authentic California juice bar featuring delicious smoothies, fruit juices, fresh vegetable juices, organic coffee, vegetable soups, liquid and frozen tea products, and healthy snacks. Smoothies are made from fresh fruit, fresh frozen (individually quick frozen [IQF]) fruit, non-fat yogurt and sherbets, fresh juices, and exotic juices. Branded vitamin powders and nutritional supplements are added to our beverages and may also be sold in retail packages for home consumption. Juice It Up has never before operated any business, but JVI and its predecessor have operated businesses of the type being offered since March 1995.

The primary market for JUICE IT UP consists of health-conscious people between 20 to 45 years of age with annual household income over $60,000. A secondary market is composed of high school and college students. Although the smoothie has been around for about 50 years, rapid growth did not begin until 1994. The smoothie bar industry is still developing. The business is seasonal, with higher sales at warmer times of year. The lines of hot soups, hot snacks, and organic coffee help balance sales at colder times of year.

There are no laws or regulations that are specifically applicable to JUICE IT UP juice bars other than state and local health requirements applicable to all food service establishments.

Primary competitors are other juice and smoothie bar chains, including Jamba Juice, Smoothie King, Planet Smoothie and ARobeks. Some competition is also

All figures are estimates only.

1:                AAs described in Item 5. the Initial Franchise fee is 25.000 for a single Franchise Agreement

(20.000 for the second, and $15.000 for the third and each subseouent Franchise Agreement) whether signed as single unit franchise agreements or pursuant to a Development Agreement. As described in Item 5. if vou are signing a single unit franchise, vou must pav a deposit of 5.000 when vou sion vour Deposit Agreement and the balance when vou sion vour Franchise Agreement. Under a Development Agreement, vou must pav one-half of the total amount of the initial franchise fees for the number of JUICE IT UP iuice bars vou aoree to develop when vou sion vour Development Agreement. You must pav the balance of each initial franchise fee when vou sion each individual franchise agreement. If you sign a Letter for Intent for an Area Representative Agreement, you will pay a non-refundable $10,000 deposit. AAs described in Item 5, we participate in the IFA's VetFran Program. If you are a qualified Veteran, your initial franchisee fee is A15.000 for each Franchise Agreement.

2:                Figure is based on assumption that premises will be rented and that lessor will require an initial

payment of the first month's rent, plus a security deposit, and possibly an additional rent depending on applicants' credit. The premises will probably be located in a strip center, mall, food court or market and drug center; the size will range from 300 square feet to 1200 square feet.

3:                In addition to the POS (point-of-sale) cash register system, this category includes back office

items such as a fax machine, a personal computer, telephone, printer & miscellaneous office equipment.

4:               This category includes such items as food preparation equipment, walk-in freezers,

refrigerators, cabinets, alarm systems, and janitorial equipment. Low figure would be typical of a kiosk.

5:                This category includes sales tax deposits or bonds, sewer hookup charges, utility deposits,

and security deposits on leased equipment.

6:                Grand Opening: Within the first 30 days after opening your store, you must spend at least

$1,000 on grand opening advertising and promotion, but may choose to spend more. We waive this requirement if you are buying an existing operating Juice It Up store.

7:               Additional funds: This category includes 30 days' wages for two employees at $7.50 an hour

and 19% payroll taxes for 15 hours per day, plus a manager earning $15 an hour plus 19% payroll taxes. The low figure assumes that the owner/operator is managing the store without taking a draw while the high figure assumes payment of $3,300 per month to a full-time manager, including payroll taxes and insurance. This category also includes working capital for other miscellaneous expenses incurred during the first 90 days of the franchised business' operations. We relied on our experience in operating company stores in Southern California in estimating this figure. You should review these figures carefully in light of local conditions and the economy, consulting a business advisor if necessary.

8. RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Promotional Items, including Juice It Up signs and menus, supplement guides, In-store promotional posters, and point-of-sale materials for new promotions, may be purchased only from a supplier designated by Juice It Up. All promotional, advertising and informational materials must be uniform in all Juice It Up stores, and all unauthorized or unapproved items must be removed by you from your store. Many Juice It Up items are copyrighted, and may be proprietary materials created by Juice It Up.

Juice It Up will give you, in the Operations Manual or in writing, a list of names and addresses of suppliers of goods and services that currently meet Juice It Up's standards. These may be "designated suppliers" from which you are required to purchase certain types of goods or services or "approved suppliers" from whom you may purchase certain types of goods or services. The reason why designated suppliers must be patronized is that many of the items they supply are proprietary private label items to Juice It Up and Juice It Up wants to keep confidential information about their ingredients and preparation. Also, by entering into exclusive purchasing agreements with certain suppliers, Juice It Up has been able to negotiate substantial quantity discounts for the JUICE IT UP Network as a whole. The amounts of the discounts vary and the precise terms of these agreements are confidential. To become an approved supplier, a supplier must stock items meeting Juice It Up's specifications, be reliable, charge reasonable prices, and be willing to make deliveries to individual locations. Juice It Up may choose to withhold its approval of a supplier if it feels granting approval would jeopardize current supplier relationships.

You must use an architect, general contractor and equipment suppliers to design and build your Juice It Up juice bar. You must buy bag-in-box juices, hard pack (frozen) yogurt and sherbets, IQF (individually quick frozen) fruit, nutritional supplements, organic coffee, snacks, the POS system, and when available, polling software, exclusively from approved suppliers. You must use and sell only the specified retail supplements, snacks, Jumpin' Java organic coffee, and other products designated by Juice It Up.

Paper goods, including logo cups may be purchased only from approved suppliers. To be approved, besides meeting the criteria described above, a paper goods supplier must stock all of the long list of paper items used in a JUICE IT UP juice bar, including logo cups and other items bearing the Marks.

Products or services must be purchased from a currently approved supplier. If you wish to purchase from an alternate supplier, you must first advise Juice It Up of this

-14-

LOSANGELES 231239v9 62765-00003


fact in advance of selling or using the item and, upon Juice It Up's request, give Juice It Up product specifications, sample products, and/or information about the supplier. Juice It Up will communicate in writing to you either its approval or its reasons for withholding its approval within a month. Silence may not be construed as consent. Normally, Juice It Up will not expect you to pay for its evaluation of a supplier. However, if, in Juice It Up's opinion, the cost of inspecting the supplier's premises, checking the supplier's credentials, or testing the product is inordinate, you must contribute to this expense. As a condition of approving a supplier of any product that bears the Trade Name or Marks, Juice It Up may require that the supplier sign Juice It Up's License Agreement. Juice It Up may withdraw its approval of a supplier if it no longer meets Juice It Up standards. If this occurs you will be notified in writing.

Operating equipment for the juice bar must meet Juice It Up's standards and specifications. IQF (individually quick frozen) fruit, juice, frozen yogurt & sherbets, baked goods such as pretzels, bagels, and muffins, nutritional supplements, protein bars and healthy snacks must also meet standards and specifications. Normally, the franchisor formulates specifications based on its experience. If you submit new products for evaluation, Juice It Up will evaluate them in the manner described above for approving a supplier. Standards and specifications and any modifications of them will be communicated to you in the Manual or otherwise in writing. Upon request, applicable standards and specifications will also be communicated to suppliers. We may impose a monetary fine of up to $1,000 if you do not comply with our standards, which are intended to provide a consistent and uniform product to the customer.

You must purchase and maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive public liability insurance, including product liability coverage, covering all JUICE IT UP Ajuice bar assets, personnel, and activities on an occurrence basis with a combined single limit for bodily injury, death or property damage of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000). Juice It Up may increase the minimum coverage requirement annually if necessary to reflect inflation or other changes in circumstances. You must also carry 1) casualty insurance in a minimum amount equal to the replacement value of your interest in the JUICE IT UP Ajuice bar premises, including furniture, fixtures and equipment, and 2) business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to cover the rent of the JUICE IT UP Ajuice bar premises, salary or wages of key personnel, and other fixed expenses. In addition, you must maintain policies of worker's compensation insurance, disability insurance and any other types of insurance required by applicable law. Each insurance policy that is required under this Agreement must contain a provision that the policy cannot be canceled without ten (10) days' written notice to Juice It Up. It must be issued by an insurance company of recognized responsibility, designate Juice It Up as an additional named insured, and be satisfactory to Juice It Up in form, substance and coverage. You must deliver a certificate of the issuing insurance company evidencing each policy to Juice It Up within ten (10) days after the policy is issued or renewed. Failure to do so is a material breach of this agreement.

-15-

LOSANGELES 231239v9 62765-00003


You agree to submit to Juice It Up copies of all non-Juice It Up-generated advertising materials that you propose to use at least two weeks before the first time they are broadcast or published. Juice It Up will review the materials within a reasonable time and will promptly notify you in writing whether it approves or rejects them. Juice It Up may withhold its approval if, in its opinion, the materials are not professionally prepared or do not convey the image and informational data consistent with Juice It Up's advertising program. For purposes of this paragraph, advertising materials that differ from previously approved materials only in such variables as date or price will be considered to be previously approved. Even if Juice It Up has approved specified materials, it may later withdraw its approval if it reasonably believes it necessary to make the advertising conform to changes in the System or to correct unacceptable features of the advertising, including any misrepresentation in the advertising material.

As of the date of this offering circular, neither Juice It Up nor JVI receives rebates or discounts from suppliers based upon purchases from those suppliers by franchisees. We or JVI may, in the future, collect rebates and credits from suppliers based on purchases or sales by you and, in our sole discretion, we may refund those amounts to franchisees or contribute those amounts to the Advertising Fund.

During A2005. our income from franchisees' purchases of products from us was $A262.450. representing approximately 9% of our total income of $A2.812.913. JVI did not receive any income based upon required purchases or leases in accordance with our specifications in ^2005.

Juice It Up estimates that between 75% and 90% of your startup expenses and about 50% of your ongoing expenses will be incurred for required purchases.

Juice It Up does not provide, nor does it receive benefits based upon your voluntary use of a designated or approved supplier because use of designated and approved suppliers is mandatory. Failure to do so will lead to Termination of your franchise.

11. FRANCHISOR'S OBLIGATIONS

Under the Deposit Agreement, upon receipt of a proposal from you for a Location, Juice It Up will promptly evaluate the proposed Location in terms of its suitability for a JUICE IT UP juice bar and will either Aaccept or Areject itA (Deposit

-18-

LOSANGELES 231239v9 62765-00003


Agreement § 3.3) ^Juice It Up will respond to your request for Acceptance within the longer of 15 days after receiving your proposal or 7 days after your provision of any additional data that Juice It Up reasonably requests. You are solely responsible for finding an acceptable location for vour JUICE IT UP juice har. We mav. without obligation, assist vou in locating an acceptable location. You mav not construe anv assistance we mav provide, or our acceptance as a guarantee or other assurance that the Location will be successful. Normally, you will not be permitted to sign a Franchise Agreement until Juice It Up has Aaccepted a Location for your juice bar.

To review a site, Juice It Up will either inspect the Location or compare all the demographic data and traffic counts you provide to its criteria. In evaluating the desirability of a proposed Location, Juice It Up looks for suitable demographics, adequate population density, heavy foot and drive-by traffic, strong tenant mix and a strong anchor tenant, availability of parking, convenient access, high visibility and proximity to health-related facilities, such as gyms, and to high schools and colleges. The ideal suite size for JUICE IT UP is 1,000 square feet, but 300-1,200 square feet can work if the layout is right. Among the factors considered by Juice It Up in making its decision on whether to approve a Location is whether the proposed lease provisions are satisfactory to Juice It Up in light of its own interests. You must, within 15 days after signing, provide Juice It Up with a copy of the signed lease. You must sign and obtain the signature of your lessor on the Conditional Assignment of Lease attached as Attachment 3 to the Franchise Agreement. (Franchise Agreement §7.2.2)

If Juice It Up determines that your proposed Location is not acceptable for any reason, you must find another Location. If you are unable to locate a site that Juice It Up finds acceptable and do not accept a site proposed to you by Juice It Up within the 6 month term of the Deposit Agreement, Juice It Up may choose to extend the Deposit Agreement provided you request an extension in writing before the completion of the 6 month term. If Juice It Up does not extend the Deposit Agreement, it has no Obligations to AyouA and is entitled to retain the entire amount of your deposit.

The length of time necessary to find a Location may range from a week to a year. Assuming that your Location has already been Aaccepted before you sign a Franchise Agreement, Juice It Up estimates that the length of time between signing of the Franchise Agreement and opening of your JUICE IT UP AJuice Bar will range from A16 to 24 weeks. Factors that may affect the length of time it takes for your juice bar to open are the progress of negotiating a lease, site or store construction delays, drafting architectural plans, securing plan approval, and obtaining permits. You may not open vour JUICE IT UP Juice Bar for business until vou have received written authorization to open from us. which mav be subject to our satisfactory inspection of vour Juice Bar.

The franchisee training program is subject to change. The table above shows you how management currently administers the training program. The training program will be supervised by an experienced staff member who has had extensive hands-on experience in store management, district management or general management. Instructors will have operational and management experience. In addition, Juice It Up trainers are industry certified "ServSafe" trainers. Classroom training will be administered at Juice It Up's corporate headquarters in Irvine, California. Hands-On Training will take place in one or more Juice Bars in Orange County, California, or at the Corporate Training Center. You will not be compensated for any work that you or your employees perform while attending the training program.

In addition, Juice It Up will send a representative to your JUICE IT UP Juice Bar for up to 50 hours to assist with opening, and conduct "on-the-job" training for your staff. The on-the-job training will cover certain aspects of store operations, including "early morning" store opening procedures and "end-of-the day" store closing and clean up procedures. We do not charge a fee for this training, however, you must pay or reimburse Juice It Up for all of our costs and expenses in connection with travel, lodging, meals and other incidental expenses we incur to provide you and your staff on-the-job training.

You and your Designated Manager must attend our Orientation Program. You may not open your JUICE IT UP Juice Bar to the public until you, your Designated

-21-

LOSANGELES 231239v9 62765-00003


Manager, and not more than 2 additional individuals who will work at your JUICE IT UP Juice Bar must attend, participate in, and successfully complete our Initial Training Program and our "Hands-On" Training Program to Juice It Up's reasonable satisfaction. There is no training fee unless we need to provide additional training for individuals who did not successfully complete the training program to our satisfaction. You and your Designated Manager must be present during the entire 50 hour on-the-job training. There is no charge for training materials unless you request more than one copy of the materials, in which case you will pay for the additional materials at Juice It Up's cost. You will pay for any incidental expenses, such as the cost of meals, travel, and lodging, incurred by you or your employees during the training program. You must have hired sufficient staff to operate your store prior to on-the-job training. If Juice It Up determines that your operating staff is inadequate or that your management and/or operating team failed to grasp the procedures and techniques, your team must undergo retraining in one or more components of the initial training program, Juice It Up will charge you for the additional training at our then current rates, which are currently $50.00 per hour. Juice It Up does not foresee the need for continuing or advanced training programs. New food process techniques or products will be introduced and demonstrated on-site by field personnel at no additional charge.

If you are signing your Franchise Agreement in connection with the transfer of an existing JUICE IT UP Franchise Agreement, we will not provide you with the Orientation Program or "Hands-On" or Opening Assistance. Juice It Up will provide the Initial Training Program at no additional charge to you, your Designated Manager and not more than 2 additional individuals who will work at your JUICE IT UP Juice Bar, all of whom must complete the Initial Training Program to our satisfaction before you may open your JUICE IT UP Juice Bar to the public. At our option, on-the-job training may be conducted by the JUICE IT UP franchisee from whom you purchased your JUICE IT UP Juice Bar instead of a Juice It Up representative.

If you are a franchisee that has already opened several units and has established a JUICE IT UP approved training site staffed with approved trainers, Juice It Up may waive the requirement that your new store management attend its training program.

The program will be given as often as necessary to make certain that each franchisee completes training within two to four weeks before opening.

Operations Manual

Juice It Up will lend you the Operation Manual, including training ("Smoothie 101"), employee manualA=anal manager'sA guide. These will be referred to collectively as the "Manual."

Juice It Up will revise the manual periodically to conform to the changing needs of the Franchise Network and will distribute updated pages containing these revisions to you. (Franchise Agreement § 5.3)

You may obtain copies of the month end reports upon request from Juice It Up. There is no contractual limitation upon Juice It Up right to access this data, but Juice It Up will be physically unable to do so without your cooperation.

You must upgrade the hardware at your own expense whenever Juice It Up informs you that it is necessary. AWe will not require yQji±Q_ieplace vour POS.system. any more frequently than once every 3 years. (Franchise Agreement §7.5.2')

Opening Assistance

Juice It Up will send a representative to your place of business for a maximum of 50 hours, as needed, to assist with opening, and provide "on-the-job" training for you and your staff.

Advertising Fund. Juice It Up will administer the Advertising Fund, which will be kept in a separate bank account. The purpose of the Fund is to pool advertising money* so as to achieve greater benefits for all in promoting the Trade Name and Marks. Each franchisee will contribute two percent of its Gross Revenue to the Fund. Juice It Up has several licensees that are not contractually obligated to contribute to the

-24-

LOSANGELES 231239v9 62765-00003


Advertising Fund, and may offer a reduced Advertising Fund payment for iuice bars located at non-traditional locations. Juice It Up and each of its affiliates who operate JUICE IT UP juice bars mav (and currently do) but are not obligated to contribute to the Advertising Fund. If Juice It Up ojrJlS-afBIJalesjaaDlribute to the Advertising Fund, thev mav contribute in any amount, vary the amount of the contribution, or cease to contribute, in their sole discretion.

The Fund may be used to pay for market research, advertising, advertising materials, media space and time, a referral program, sponsorship, a website, product coupons, or any combination of them. The Fund may also be used for advertising grants to franchisees, collectively on a regional basis or individually on a local basis. In addition, the Fund may be used to pay for point-of-purchase materials or public relations projects. Up to 15 percent (15%) of Fund money may be used to compensate Juice It Up for overhead and other direct expenses incurred in connection with development of POS materials and its administration of the Fund.

Once a year, Juice It Up will distribute an Advertising Fund report to its franchisees which will set out the total amounts of money collected and spent by the Fund during the past year and list, by general category, the manner in which the money was spent. The Fund's books will not be separately audited from those of Juice It Up as a whole.

Juice It Up will give preference to regional Advertising Fund projects, but may make allocations of Advertising Fund money to individual franchisees when it considers it desirable. Because the benefits of advertising, marketing, and promotion are difficult to measure, Juice It Up reserves the unqualified right to determine, in its sole discretion, how Advertising Fund money will be spent; the only condition is that the money must be used in a manner that is reasonably related to the general promotion of the Trade Name and Marks. Juice It Up is not obligated to spend a minimum amount of money in your area.

Juice It Up will use direct mail, newspapers, radio, outdoor advertising, and cable television for institutional advertising. Community service programs and specialty discount promotions also play important parts in the overall JUICE IT UP marketing plan. Coverage of the media will be primarily regional. The advertising materials will be created partly by in-house advertising employees and partly by regional advertising agencies. Juice It Up may occasionally use coupons, and you must accept all valid Juice It Up coupons presented at your JUICE IT UP AJuice Bar.

Juice It Up instituted a Gift Card & Loyalty Card program in 2003, and you must participate in that program, which is intended to provide national participation for Juice It Up customers.

A Cooperative Advertising. As of the date of this offering circular. Juice It Up has not established anv local or regional advertising Cooperatives ("Co-op").

to be previously approved. Even if Juice It Up has approved specified materials, it may later withdraw its approval if it reasonably believes it must do so to make the advertising conform to changes in the System or to correct unacceptable features of the advertising, including any misrepresentation in the advertising material.

Juice It Up is the registered owner of Registration No. 2,210,602, and the applicant for the pending trademark applications described above.

There is no currently effective determination of the Patent Office, the trademark administrator of any state or any court, or any pending interference, opposition, or cancellation proceeding, or any pending material litigation involving the Marks. No agreements limit the rights of Juice It Up to use or license the use of the Marks.

Juice It Up is not aware of any infringing uses presently occurring as to any Mark it will license to you.

Under the Franchise Agreement, you agree to notify Juice It Up immediately in writing if you become aware of any unauthorized use of Juice It Up's Trade Name, Marks, or System or of any claim of rights to a mark identical or similar to any of the Marks. You will promptly notify Juice It Up in writing of any claim, demand, or suit against you or against your principals in connection with your use of the Trade Name, Marks, or System. There is no requirement in the Franchise Agreement that Juice It Up indemnify or defend you in any action or proceeding arising from or in connection with any such claim, demand, or suit. If Juice It Up does intervene on its own behalf or acts to defend you in any such action, you agree that Juice It Up may select legal counsel and has the right to control the proceedings.

There is no requirement in the Franchise Agreement that Juice It Up takes affirmative action to protect the Trade Name, Marks, or System when notified of any unauthorized use of Juice It Up's Trade Name, Marks or System. You do not have the right to make any demand against any alleged infringer or to prosecute any claim of any kind or nature whatsoever against any alleged infringer for or on account of any infringement. Juice It Up has invested substantial time, energy, and money in the promotion and protection of its Trade Name and other Marks as they exist on the Start Date. It has no present intention of altering them. However, Juice It Up recognizes that rights in intangible property such as the Trade Name and Marks are often difficult to establish and defend and that changes in the cultural and economic environment within which the System operates or third-party challenges to Juice It Up rights in the Marks may make changes in the Trade Name and Marks desirable or necessary. Juice It Up therefore reserves the right to change its Trade Name and Marks and the specifications for each when Juice It Up believes that such changes will benefit the Franchise Network. If this occurs, Juice It Up will do everything possible to minimize the cost to you of making the changes. You agree that you will promptly conform, at your own expense, to any such changes.

The franchise agreement provides for termination upon bankruptcy. This provision may not be enforceable under federal bankruptcy law (11 U.S.C.A. Sec. 101 et seq.).

The franchise agreement contains a covenant not to compete which extends beyond the termination of the franchise. This provision may not be enforceable under California law.

Section 31125 of the California Corporations Code requires the franchisor to give the franchisee a special disclosure document before soliciting a proposed material modification of an existing franchise.

The Franchise Agreement provides for termination upon bankruptcy. A provision in a franchise agreement that Terminates the franchise upon bankruptcy of the franchisee may not be enforceable under Title 11, U.S. Code § 101.

Under California law, in a regional shopping center located in a city with a population under 60,000 in a county of the first class, a franchise can be relocated within the regional shopping center with the consent of the franchisee and the management of the regional shopping center or the franchisor and the management of the regional shopping center (Stats 1980, ch 1355, § 5). This law will prevail over any contrary provision in a franchise agreement.

The franchise agreement requires the franchisee to sign a general release of claims as a condition of relocation, transfer, or renewal of the franchise. California Corporations Code Section 31512 says that a waiver of your rights under the Franchise Investment Law (California Corporations Code Sections 31000 through 31516) is void. Business and Professions Code Section 20010 says that a waiver of your rights under the Franchise Relations Act (Business and Professions Code Sections 20,000 through 20,043) is void.

Neither the franchisor, nor any person or franchise broker identified in Item 2 of this offering circular 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, 15 U.S.C.A. 78a et seq., suspending or expelling the person from membership in the association or exchange.
