Gross Sales Definition and Verification For the purpose of this Agreement, gross sales shall be defined as: the aggregate of all revenue or other income of the Franchisee, whether collected or not by the Franchisee, arising from the operation of the Franchisee’s College Pro operation/Franchised Business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, gross sales shall include all revenue earned from painting contracts, sub-contracts or any maintenance and repair, and from the sale of paint or painting supplies. Gross sales shall exclude revenue from the sales of equipment or vehicles, proceeds from government wage subsidy programs, warranty work and any bonuses received from the Franchisor and the Goods and Services Tax. For greater certainty gross sales shall include any amounts invoiced to the Franchisee's customers or on which hours of work have been worked by the Franchisee's employees, whether disputed or not and whether collected or not, by the Franchisee during the Franchise Period. Gross sales shall include all fees or charges invoiced to the customer. Gross sales shall also include all paint supplies used regardless of who purchased the paint. Any amounts billed or billable by the Franchisee to his or her customers but not collected during the Operating Term shall be included in gross sales with the final Operating Term royalty payment payable by the Franchisee. For the purposes of enforcing due payment of all monies payable herein, the Franchisor reserves the right to personally, or through its representative, audit any of the Franchisee's records maintained with respect to the Franchisee's College Pro Painters operation/Franchised Business. Royalty payments shall become due upon completion of the painting job. The Franchisor may audit the Franchisee on at least one occasion during the Operating Term to ensure that the Franchisee has complied with his or her obligations herein. The Franchisee must provide the Franchisor with complete and immediate access to all records and materials relating directly or indirectly to the Franchisee’s business so as to facilitate an efficient and effective audit. The Franchisee shall record all actual receipts of monies in a deposit receipt book provided by his or her bank whether the said monies are collected in the form of cash, cheque, money order or bank draft. Non-compliance with this royalty section is considered a serious violation of the Agreement (See Appendix 8).

Explanation of Services All services listed in this Appendix are explained in Policies and Procedures. The insurance coverage does have limitations and deductible amounts. These are specified in Policies and Procedures. Payment Those services which are not charged as part of the Royalty Charges, Liability Insurance, Answering Service or Quality Assurance Fee will be invoiced to Franchisees as outlined in Policies and Procedures. Franchisees will collect a 10% deposit of all sales booked. Beginning January 1st Franchisees will be invoiced 7.5% of all sales booked on a weekly basis, with payments being applied to the logistical services. Beginning May 9th, Franchisees will pay expense recovery to the Franchisor on outstanding logical services weekly at rates prescribed by the Franchisor. These payments are due every week until the invoice is paid in full. The $200 deposit made at the time of signing this Agreement will be applied to the final Logistical Support Services billing calculated at Closedown. Any excess from the $200.00 would be returned to the Franchisee at the end of the Close-Out Term. Payment Upon Termination – In the event that this Agreement is unilaterally or mutually terminated after March 1st, the full payment of all charges would become immediately due and payable. The Service Charges would be pro-rated as per Policies and Procedures.

Appendix 6 (c) Quality Assurance Fee The Franchisee must pay a Quality Assurance Fee for every Job produced by the Franchisee. This payment to the Franchisor is to be made weekly. These payments are primarily used to offset the warranty work, customer service and quality assurance programs. Payments are to be made for every job regardless of the nature of the service provided. The payments per Job are based on the total dollar sales of the Job: (i) All Jobs < $ 5,000.00:

Job Value < $ 500.00 = $ 30.00 per job Job Value $ 500 - $ 2,000 = $ 65.00 per job Job Value $ 2,000 - $ 5,000 = $ 95.00 per job

(ii) All Jobs > $ 5,000.00:

2.5% of pre-G.S.T. sales value of the specific job. - Job Definition For purposes of the Quality Assurance Fee, a Job is defined as each booked and produced job that is written on a separate or distinct proposal. (Example: A landed exterior proposal and an interior proposal would be considered 2 separate Jobs)

APPENDIX 7

SCHEDULE OF DAMAGES TO BE PAID BY FRANCHISEE IN THE EVENT OF UNILATERAL TERMINATION BY THE FRANCHISEE*

Preamble: It must be understood by the Franchisee that College Pro is a Franchise designed primarily for students. As such, Franchisees are not required to submit a significant up-front deposit. This deposit would normally act as a deterrent to prevent a Franchisee from unilaterally breaking a Franchise agreement. In the absence of a significant deposit, it is important that College Pro have some kind of protection. 1. If a suitable replacement Franchisee cannot be found:

a) The full damages incurred by the Franchisor for lost revenues during the Operating Term will be payable by the Franchisee to the Franchisor, if no alternative or replacement Franchisee, satisfactory to the Franchisor can be found in time to be properly trained for the Operating Term. The damages can range from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00. Training for the Operating Term begins in January, 2010. Approval by the Franchisor to an alternative or replacement Franchisee shall not be unreasonably withheld.

2. If a suitable replacement Franchisee is found:

a) If termination occurs during the period up to but not including the first training session, damages of $750.00, which the parties acknowledge is a genuine pre-estimate of the damages College Pro will suffer as a result of the Franchisee’s repudiation of the Franchise Agreement, plus the amounts referred to in items 3 (a) and 3 (b) below; and

b) If termination occurs at any other time, damages of $1,500.00, which the

parties acknowledge is a genuine pre-estimate of the damages College Pro will suffer as a result of the Franchisee’s repudiation of the Franchise Agreement, plus the amounts referred to in items 3 (a) and 3 (b) below.

3. In all cases of termination at any time:

a) Any postage delivery or collection costs incurred in retrieving all information, manuals and materials from the Franchisee to a place to be designated by the Franchisor.

b) Any legal or travel costs incurred in collecting the costs and damages.

APPENDIX 8

SCHEDULE OF DAMAGES TO BE PAID BY FRANCHISEE IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION BY THE FRANCHISOR

Preamble: The Franchise Agreement is built on the trust that the Franchise will disclose and

pay royalties on all Gross Sales, and acts responsibly towards his/her clients, employees, and the environment. The nature of the relationship makes it imperative that this trust is not broken. For this reason College Pro considers it a serious violation of the agreement if:

(i) A Franchisee submits a work proposal to a potential customer and the

proposal is not on a standard College Pro proposal form; or

(ii) A Franchisee does not deposit all business receipts into their business account registered in the Franchisee's name. A duplicate deposit book must be used for all receipts; or

(iii) A Franchisee declares less Gross Sales during the weekly period or at

closedown than were actually invoiced by the Franchisee to the Franchisee's customers.

In any such event, all of the following actions would be immediately imposed:

(i) Automatic termination as outlined in Section 6(3);

(ii) Royalty due on the Gross Sales; (iii) Loss of all quality and volume bonuses which might otherwise be payable

to the Franchisee by the Franchisor; (iv) $4,000 per month for the months in the Operating Term not serviced by

the Franchisee as a result of the automatic termination noted above. The $4,000 per month represents part of the genuinely estimated actual loss to the Franchisor.

(v) Compensation for any legal costs incurred in collecting the damages

referred to in this appendix. In addition to the above, there are minor breaches of the Franchisee Agreement that when made by the Franchisee would cause the Franchisor to incur costs it would not otherwise incur. These include NSF payments and late administrative and logistical items. Minor charges associated with these breaches are outlined in Policies and Procedures.
