| Participation Details | The Franchise Agreement requires the franchisee or, if a Corporate Entity, its designated managing shareholder, member, or partner (the “Managing Owner”) to be personally responsible for the management and overall supervision of the Gallery. The Managing Owner must complete initial training and be approved by the franchisor. While personal day-to-day participation is recommended, a franchisee may hire an operating manager to supervise and manage daily on-site operations, provided the manager meets minimum standards, completes initial training, and signs confidentiality agreements.

Franchisees must submit written requests for approval of alternative suppliers, including samples and testing data, and may be charged a fee for evaluation. Approval is at the franchisor's sole discretion, considering factors like supplier ability to meet standards and the overall interests of the System. |
