Our Business Activities and the Franchises to be Offered in this State

We offer, and award to qualified applicants, a franchise to establish and operate a


single Pinkberry Store Franchise (the "Franchised Business") from one approved
location within a prescribed geographical area using the Pinkberry trademarks, logos,
programs, promotional materials and operating methods we've developed, (the
"Pinkberry System" or "System"). As a Pinkberry Franchisee, you will be operating a
Pinkberry Store providing a health conscious themed, relaxed and simple, environment
specializing in natural frozen yogurt with fresh fruit and other toppings and offer a
choice of shaved ice and yogurt drinks and related products and services.

We believe that the market for services and products offered by Pinkberry Store
Franchises is established and year round. The primary markets for these products and
services consist of health conscious individuals, and families.

If we award you a Franchise, you will be competing with other health food and
dessert food stores of all styles, including all varieties of fast food stores, including but
not limited to, frozen yogurt and ice-cream stores, and juice stores. You should
consider these competitive factors before deciding to buy a franchise.

Our initial offer of Pinkberry Store Franchises in this state is being made under this
Offering Circular. We have never owned and do not currently own and/or operate
any Pinkberry Store Franchises, although we have the right to do so. We have never
offered franchises in any other line of business. Our Affiliate, Pinkberry, Inc. currently
owns and operates one Pinkberry Store and will continue to operate this store and is
in the process of developing additional stores in California. The locations of these
existing and future Stores are listed in Item 20.

Pinkberry is a franchise concept that has only been franchised for short time, and is for
the most part untested as a franchise opportunity. Further, although we have operated
a business of the type being franchised in the past, we are not an experienced
Franchisor. You should expect that additional changes in the System will take place;
our limited experience makes it impossible to predict results; and no guarantee can be
made that you will be successful in operation of your Franchised Business.

Industry Regulations

In addition to any city or county business licenses applicable to the services you will
be providing, you must comply with all local, state and federal laws, pertaining to
food-service businesses, including any business, retail sales, zoning, environmental,
labor relations, sanitation, safety, fire, food-service, and health codes, regulations and
ordinances, as well as laws and regulations relating to the use of video games
machines and access by persons with disabilities. You are solely responsible for
identification of and compliance with all laws, ordinances and/or regulations
applicable to your Pinkberry Store Franchised Business. We strongly recommend that
you undertake these investigations in the operation of your Franchised Business to the
extent that you are lawfully permitted.

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006

You should independently research and review the legal requirements of the food
services industry with your own attorney before vou sign any binding documents or
make any investments.

It is your sole responsibility, on an ongoing basis, to investigate and satisfy all


employment, worker's compensation, insurance, corporate, tax and similar laws and
regulations, since they vary from place to place, can change over time, and may affect
the operation of your business.

This Offering Circular describes the terms and conditions on which we currently offer
Franchises in this state. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to grant, or not to
grant, a Pinkberry Store Franchise to any prospective franchisee, regardless of the stage
of the franchise contract process, costs expended by the prospective franchisee or
otherwise. We may offer Pinkberry Store Franchises in other states or countries, on
economic and/or other terms, which differ from those offered by this Offering
Circular and there may be instances where we have varied, or will vary, the terms on
which we offer franchises to suit the circumstances of a particular transaction. We
strongly urge you to carefully review all documents, including a comparison to any
prior Agreement if a renewal or transfer of an existing franchise agreement is
involved, as well as this Offering Circular, with independent advisors who can
provide legal, business and/or economic guidance, such as a lawyer and/or
accountant.

You should understand that every detail of your Franchise will be important not only
to you, but also to us and to all Franchisees. Therefore, during the term of the
Franchise Agreement, you must, at all times, develop and operate your Franchised
Business in compliance with all System Standards, as we may modify them in the
future. Note that changes in the System Standards may require additional investments
by you in your Franchised Business.

This Offering Circular contains a summary of various provisions of our program and
the Franchise Agreement and other documents. We have summarized the main
features of our program above and further information appears at appropriate points
throughout this Offering Circular. Of course, the descriptions in this Offering Circular
are required to be brief and are for general informational purposes only. In many
cases, the Offering Circular contains only excerpts or summaries of other documents.
The actual provisions of these documents will control in every case and you should
refer to the Franchise Agreement and other documents for more complete information.

The Franchised Business involves substantial business risks that cannot be eliminated.
The risk may be greater for a new franchise concept/franchisor with limited
experience, such as this one. Significant investment beyond that outlined in this
Offering Circular may be required to succeed. Your volume, profit and possible
success are primarily dependent on your financial, management and other resources,
your personal business, marketing, management judgment and other skills, your
willingness to work hard and smart as well as your proper use of the System. We
cannot and do not guarantee your success.

(1) This table shows the estimated expenditures required to develop a single
Pinkberry Store Franchised Business pursuant to a Pinkberry Store Franchise
Agreement. If you are developing more than one unit, your costs will be (generally)
proportionately higher. The Initial Franchise Fee is non-refundable. We do not finance
any fees. You must pay the Initial Franchise Fee in a lump sum when you sign the
Franchise Agreement.

(2) You are responsible for arranging your transportation and paying the
expenses for transportation, meals and lodging for you and your manager while
attending the 10 day training program. The amount you spend will depend on several
factors, including the distance you have to travel and the type of accommodations you
choose. We based this estimate upon attendance of 1 person.

(3) Real estate costs can vary widely depending upon a multitude of factors
related to location, including whether the property is purchased or leased, local market
conditions, the size, type, condition and location of the property and zoning
requirements. The size of a typical site is between 650 and 1,250 square feet. These
figures are based on this square footage and the assumption that a landlord will
require first and last months rent.

(4) The cost of construction and remodeling depends on the size and condition of
the premises, the local cost of contract work and the location of your Pinkberry Store.
The amount may be less if the lessor provides a construction allowance for tenant
improvements and on how you negotiate the terms of your lease. These figures are
based on the assumption of an average build out cost of $165 per square foot.

(5) Figures for Furnishings include tables, chairs, lights, menu board, and trade
dress.

(6) Figure for fixtures includes required yogurt machines.

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006

music system, lights, counters, restrooms and floorings.

(8) Figures for Inventory include Food stuffs, plastic and paper goods, menus, t-
shirts etc., may have COD requirements at outset if franchisee doesn't meet credit
criteria.

(9) The figures provided for utility deposits do not include any special connection
and/or tap fees, EDD or sales taxes which are based upon projected sales.

(10) You may also be required to obtain a license to do business in the City or
County where you conduct businesses will depend upon your local city or county
ordinances.

(11) You must maintain in force policies of insurance issued by carriers we have
approved covering various risks. We may specify the types and amounts of coverage
required under these policies and require different and/or additional kinds of
insurance at any time, including excess liability insurance. Each insurance policy must
name us and our Affiliates as additional named insureds, will contain a waiver of all
subrogation rights against us and our Affiliates and any successors and assigns, and
must provide for 30 days' prior written notice to us of any material modifications,
cancellation, or expiration of the policies. Our insurance requirements are:

Personal Injury and Liability $1,000,000 per occurrence

Kitchen Equipment $50,000 per occurrence

General Liability $2,000,000 aggregate

purchase price of the required hardware and software maintenance agreements in the
figures. See Item 8.

(13) You must obtain DSL or cable internet connection services, which may not be
dial up, or linked to a telephone line. Your initial investment will depend on your

(14) One exterior and one interior signage required and included in figures.

(15) Miscellaneous Costs includes items such as incorporation costs and purchase
of career apparel; however, does not include rent, or security deposit. Additional
Funds is an estimate of certain funds needed to cover business (not personal) expenses
during the first 3 months of operation of your business. You will need capital to
support on-going costs of your business, such as payroll, utilities, taxes, loan payments
and other expenses, to the extent that revenues do not cover business costs. This is
only an estimate, and we can't guarantee that the amounts specified will be adequate.
You may need additional funds during the first 3 months of

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006

initial operation or afterwards. We do not furnish or authorize our salespersons or any


other persons or entities to furnish estimates as to the capital or other reserve funds
necessary to reach "break-even" or any other financial position, nor should you rely on
any such estimates. The 3-month period from beginning your business covers the time
by which most Franchisees are fully operational but does not necessarily mean that
you will have reached "break-even", "positive cash flow", or any other financial
position. In addition, the estimates presented relate only to costs associated with the
Franchised Business and do not cover any personal, "living," unrelated business or
other expenses you may have, such as royalty payments, debt service on any loans,
state sales, and/or use taxes on goods and services, and a variety of other amounts not
described above. Although we make no estimates or representations regarding
financial performance of a Pinkberry Store Franchise Business, we recommend that, in
addition to the additional funds shown, you have sufficient personal savings and/or
income so that you will be self-sufficient for at least 3 months.

(16) All of the above figures are estimates of certain initial start up expenses. It is not
all-inclusive as noted above, and we cannot guarantee you will not have additional
expenses in starting your Pinkberry Store Franchise Business. The total figure listed in
the above chart does not include compensation for your time or labor or costs for
obtaining a vehicle (if needed). Your costs will vary depending on such factors as:
how much you follow the Pinkberry Store System; your management and marketing
skills, experience and general business ability; and local and general economic
conditions.

Miscellaneous costs to begin operations and other financial requirements may be more
or less than the figures specified above. Many of these factors are primarily under
your control in your independent operation of the business, and may include
necessary licenses, permits or certifications. You are solely responsible for identifying
and complying with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, including all
licenses and permits that may be required for your Pinkberry Store Franchised
Business. 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. In preparing the
figures in this chart, we relied on our Affiliate's 2 years operating Pinkberry Store in
California and the over 10 additional years of experience of certain of our personnel in
industries unrelated to Pinkberry Stores.

Since costs can vary with each Franchisee, we strongly recommend that vou fa) obtain
independent estimates from third-party vendors and your accountant of the costs
which would apply to your proposed establishment and continued operation of a
Pinkberry Franchise, (b) discuss with current Pinkberry Franchisees their economic
experiences (including initial costs) in opening and operating a Pinkberry Franchise
(although there may be a limited number of franchisees to speak with because we are a
start up franchise company), (c) research applicable regulations and their impact on
your costs and operations and (d) carefully evaluate the adeouacv of your total
financial resources and reserves.

Although we make no estimates or representations regarding financial performance of


a Pinkberry Store Franchise, we recommend that, in addition to the additional funds
shown, you have sufficient personal savings and/or income so that you will be self-
sufficient and need not draw funds from the Franchised Business for at least 3 months
after start-up. We cannot predict if you will have reached positive cash flow by that
time or not.

8. RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

How We Issue and Modify Standards and Approvals of Suppliers and Products

You must purchase, use and offer each of, and only, the types, brands and/or quality
of marketing and merchandizing products and services we designate. You may not
offer or deal with any products, services or suppliers not approved by us from time to
time. We formulate and will provide you (through the Manuals or other means) with
any applicable specifications for menu items, ingredients, equipment, inventory,
vending machines, customer service requirements and other items, all of which are
subject to change by us. Approved suppliers may include, and may be limited to, us
and/or companies affiliated with us. We may designate a single supplier or multiple
suppliers, and may concentrate purchases with one or more suppliers.

We may approve, revoke or deny approval of particular items or suppliers in our


Business Judgment. You can request the approval of an item, service or supplier by
notifying us in writing and submitting any information and/or materials we may
request. Generally, we condition our approval of a supplier based on several criteria
including, but not limited to, (i) the proposed item meeting our exact specifications,
(ii) the supplier's ability to handle the volume requirements of supplying the product
in the quantities and timely as required, and (iii) the consistency of the quality of the
product delivered. It is our practice to require the right to audit our approved
suppliers in order to audit the supplier relationship and the quantity of goods ordered
by you. We have no contractual obligation to notify you within a specific period of
time whether or not you are authorized to purchase or use the proposed item or to
deal with the proposed supplier. However, we plan to notify you within 30 days of
receiving adequate information and/or materials relating to the item being evaluated.
Currently, we do not receive revenue or other benefits from suppliers in relation to
items purchased by our Franchisees, but we reserve the right to do so in the future.

Proportions of Required Purchases

We estimate that assuming the estimated minimum initial costs to begin operations
and other financial obligations are within the ranges described in Item 7 of this
Offering Circular, the proportion of your purchases and leases of goods and services
from approved suppliers or of products that meet our specifications to be
approximately 2% of all the purchases and leases in establishing your Franchised
Business and approximately 6% to 10% of your ongoing costs of operating your
Franchised Business.

Negotiation of Purchase Arrangements

Currently, we do not negotiate purchase arrangements, such as volume discounts,


with approved suppliers for the benefit of our Franchisees, but we may do so in the
future.
Purchasing or Distribution Cooperatives

Currently, there are no formal or mandatory purchasing or distribution cooperatives in


the System, but we reserve the right to institute them in the future.

methods. {Franchise Agreement, Section 5.3)

C. We'll furnish advice and guidance to you with respect to our Grand Opening

National Advertising

We can, in our Business Judgment, elect to establish an advertising, publicity and


marketing fund {the "Marketing Fund") to promote Pinkberry Stores and the Brand.
You must contribute to the Marketing Fund 2% of Gross Volume per royalty period,
subject to inflation adjustment. Such percentage will be calculated and payable at the
same time and in the same manner as percentage and minimum royalties.

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006


13

We have sole discretion over all matters relating to the Marketing Fund, operational,
marketing or any other matter. The Marketing Fund may be used for (among other
things) product development; signage; creation, production and distribution of
marketing, advertising, public relations and other materials in any medium, including
the Internet; administration expenses; brand/image campaigns; media; national,
regional and other marketing programs; activities to promote current and/or future
Pinkberry Store and the Brand; agency and consulting services; research; any expenses
approved by us and associated with FAC or other Franchisee advisory groups. Among
other things, Marketing Fund Contributions may be used for web site
development/operation and to pay Internet, Intranet, URL, 800 or similar number, and
other charges, fees and/or expenses. A brief statement regarding the availability of
Pinkberry Store franchises may be included in advertising and other items produced
using the Marketing Fund.

We and/or any Franchisor-Related Persons/Entities can provide goods, services,


materials, etc. (including administrative services and/or "in-house advertising agency"
services) and be compensated and/or reimbursed for the same by the Marketing Fund,
provided that any such compensation must be reasonable in amount. We can arrange
for goods, services, materials, etc. (including administrative services) to be provided by
independent persons/companies and all related costs, fees, etc. will be paid by the
Marketing Fund. While we are not required to do so, any matter we submit for FAC
approval for which approval is granted, will be binding on you.

The Marketing Fund will be accounted for separately and may be used to pay all
administrative and other costs of the Marketing Fund related to its activities and
purposes and/or as authorized by the relevant Franchise Agreements. All taxes of any
kind incurred in connection with or related to the Marketing Fund, its activities,
contributions to the Marketing Fund and/or any other Fund aspect, whether imposed
on us, the Marketing Fund or any other related party, will be the sole responsibility of
the Marketing Fund. We will prepare financial statements for the Marketing Fund
annually, which will be furnished to you upon written request. Such statements may
be audited and any related accounting/auditing costs will be paid by the Marketing
Fund. Funds in the Marketing Fund must be expended, prior to termination of the
Marketing Fund, only for the purposes authorized by the relevant Franchise
Agreement(s). No profit, gain or other benefit will directly accrue to us from the
Marketing Fund. All interest earned on monies contributed to, or held in, the
Marketing Fund will be remitted to the Marketing Fund and will be subject to the
restrictions of the relevant Franchise Agreement(s).

Financial management of the Marketing Fund will be our sole responsibility. We can,
in our Business Judgment, do any of the following:

1) compensate ourselves and/or any Franchisor-Related Person/Entity for


salaries, administrative costs, overhead and other expenses incurred in Marketing
Fund related programs/activities, including but not limited to production, research,
insurance, and collection expenses, as well as any legal expense related to the activities
and purposes of the Marketing Fund;

2) charge the Marketing Fund for attorneys' fees and other costs related in any
way to claims against us and/or any of the Franchisor-Related Persons/Entities, the
Marketing Fund and/or the FAC, regarding the Marketing Fund. However, we will be
required to reimburse the Marketing Fund for any attorneys' fees and/or costs paid by
the

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006


14

Marketing Fund in connection with any action in which we are finally found to have
acted unlawfully or to be guilty of wrongdoing with respect to the Marketing Fund;

3) spend in any fiscal year an amount greater or less than the aggregate
contributions to the Marketing Fund in that year, and the Marketing Fund may
borrow from us or other lenders to cover deficits of the Marketing Fund or cause the
Marketing Fund to invest any surplus;

4) collect for remission to the Marketing Fund any advertising or promotional


amounts offered by any supplier based upon franchisee purchases. Any such
contributions, whether or not made with respect to purchases by you, will not count
toward your required Fund contributions;

5) pay the advertising, marketing, public relations and related costs involved in
any co-branding, dual franchising or other such multi-sponsor programs;

6) revise marketing and other programs, and/or make expenditures from the
Marketing Fund, to take account of cultural and other differences (and/or we can
delegate management of a portion of the Marketing Fund in connection therewith);

7) defer, waive and/or compromise claims for current/future contributions to,


and/or claims against or with respect to, the Marketing Fund and fund the same with
the Marketing Fund;
8) take legal or other action against any Franchisee in default of their obligations
to the Marketing Fund;

9) merge the Marketing Fund with any marketing fund otherwise established for
Pinkberry Store, so long as the restrictions of the relevant Franchise Agreement(s)
continue to apply to contributions made by Franchisees under such arrangements;

10) maintain Marketing Fund assets in one or more accounts designated as "trust
accounts" for purposes of protecting such assets from claims of third-party creditors
(however, such action will not be deemed to create any "trust," "fiduciary relationship"
or similar special arrangement);

11) incorporate the Marketing Fund or operate it through an entity separate from
us, which is subject to all rights and duties of ours relating to the Marketing Fund;

12) take such other actions in connection with the Fund as we consider to be
appropriate and as are consistent with the Franchise Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that we have no obligation to ensure that expenditures by
the Marketing Fund are or will be proportionate or equivalent to contributions to the
Marketing Fund by Pinkberry Store operating in any geographic area, or that any
Pinkberry Store will benefit directly, indirectly or in proportion to its contribution to
the Marketing Fund. We have no obligation to cause other Pinkberry Stores to
contribute to the Marketing Fund or engage in local marketing, and we can permit a
Franchisee to make direct advertising expenditures in place of

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006


15

contributions to the Marketing Fund. You understand that some Pinkberry Store
Franchisees may have Marketing Fund obligations that are different from yours, if any.
However, all Pinkberry Stores owned by us will make contributions to the Marketing
Fund as if they were subject to the then-current form of Franchise Agreement.

Neither we (nor any of the Franchisor-Related Persons/Entities, including the


Marketing Fund and/or the FAC) will be liable for any act or omission in connection
with the Marketing Fund which is consistent with the Franchise Agreement or which
is done in subjective good faith. You and we expressly agree that none of the
relationships with you in connection with the Marketing Fund are in the nature of a
"trust," "fiduciary" or similar special arrangement.

Subject to the express requirements of this Agreement that your contributions will
only be spent as authorized herein, you agree that we can deny access to any and all
programs and/or materials created by, and benefits of, the Marketing Fund to you
and to any Franchisees who are not in Good Standing.

Your Participation in the Marketing Fund.

You agree to participate in all Marketing Fund programs. You have the right to set
your own prices, except that we can specify maximum prices for goods or services to
the greatest degree permitted by law. You must fully honor all coupons, price
reduction and other promotions/programs as directed by us. The Marketing Fund
may furnish you with marketing, advertising and promotional materials; however, we
can require that you pay the cost of producing, shipping and handling for such
materials.

Your Local Pinkberry Store Marketing Activities.

You must spend for local advertising and promotion of your Pinkberry Store each
royalty period 2% of Gross Volume, subject to inflation adjustment as set forth in the
Franchise Agreement Section 9.6. If we request it, you will submit verification of your
expenditures in a form prescribed by us in our Business Judgment. Appropriate local
advertising expenditures may include, but are not limited to, classified telephone
directory listings and advertising. Discounts and/or products or services given
without charge will not be considered to meet your local advertising obligation under
this Section.

Your advertising must be in good taste and conform to ethical and legal standards and
our requirements. Samples of all advertising and promotional materials (and any use
of the Marks and/or other forms of commercial identification) for any media,
including the Internet, World Wide Web or otherwise, must be submitted to us for our
review and consent prior to use, which approval we can condition or withhold in our
Business Judgment. You agree not to use any materials or programs disapproved by
us at any time in our Business Judgment and you must use all materials and programs
designated by us as mandatory. We can require that a brief statement regarding the
availability of Pinkberry Store franchises be included in advertising used by you
and/or that brochures regarding purchase of Pinkberry Store franchises be displayed
in your Pinkberry Store.

Any use of the Internet, World Wide Web or other electronic media by you in
connection with your Pinkberry Store will be as specified by us in our Business
Judgment from time to time, whether in the Manuals or otherwise. Among other
things, we can require that any such use be

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006

16

through us, using a designated Internet/Intranet Service Provider {which can be us or


an Affiliate), and that all pages be accessed through a designated site and/or meet our
specifications. In such an event, we can require you to pay by credit card, bank
autodraft, or other method required by us, an Internet/Intranet.Service Fee of $50 per
month, which we can collect in advance on an annual or other basis. Such Fee is
subject to annual adjustment by us.

You must purchase, use, maintain and update at your expense software, computer and
other POS systems meeting our specifications. There are no contractual limitations on
the frequency and cost of upgrades and updates to the systems or programs. You must
comply with our then-current terms of use policies and any other requirements
regarding any inter/intranet sites we establish for Pinkberry Store Franchised
Businesses. We have one approved supplier for this system who is Sunrise Tech.

records retention systems conforming to any requirements set by us. We reserve the
right to use, and to have full access to, all cash register, computer and any other
systems, and the information and data they contain. We may charge a reasonable fee
for the license, modification, maintenance or support of software or any other goods
and/or services that we furnish to you in related to any of the systems.

In the future, we may introduce to the System additional computer software and
hardware (including point of sale and additional back office systems) which you must
purchase, use, maintain and update at your expense, as specifications and
requirements may be modified over time. In some cases, these components may only
be available through us or approved vendors. You may be required to maintain your
records in a future Pinkberry System Database. You will be responsible for paying all
supplier and/or licensor {which may include us) charges for use, maintenance,
support and/or updates to any future required systems. We do not have a contractual
obligation under the Franchise Agreement to provide any maintenance, repairs,
upgrades or updates on any software or hardware. There are no contractual
limitations on the frequency and cost of upgrades and/or updates to the systems or
programs. (Franchise Agreement, Sections 4 and 12.1)

You will use the computer for basic accounting practices, receiving and responding to
emails, submitting monthly reports. We will have access to all data captured by these
computers. There is no contractual limitation on our use of the data, although any use
by us shall be for reasonable business purposes.

We do not warrant or have any responsibility for the software or hardware you are
required to obtain. Any warranty you may have on equipment or software will be
limited to that provided by the applicable manufacturer or licensor.

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006

17

reviewing a proposed site include the real estate characteristics (parking, access, etc.)
area demographics, trade area population and education.

We will require that the Lease you sign will include certain rights the Collateral
Assignment attached to the Franchise Agreement as Exhibit 3.2.B.

Typical Length of Time to Open Your Business

The typical length of time between the signing of the Franchise Agreement and the
payment of the Initial Franchise Fee and the opening of a Franchise ranges between
approximately 3 - 6 months. Factors affecting this length of time include locating a site,
completion of training, construction, financing, permits or licenses.

If you do not meet all of your pre-opening obligations (see Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and 3.6
of the Franchise Agreement) within one year of execution of the franchise agreement,
we may terminate the Agreement and you will not receive a refund. You may not
open your Pinkberry Store until we give you your opening notice.

Training

You must attend an initial orientation at which we will provide you with materials
and guidelines for selecting a site for your Pinkberry Store as well as leasing
requirements and guidelines.

Franchise Business. The Initial Franchise Fee covers an initial training program for
either one or two individuals, who must include you and the initial Pinkberry Store
manager, who may be you. There is no reduction or refund of any part of the Initial
franchise Fee if one individual attends the initial training program. We may charge a
reasonable fee for training of additional and/or subsequent managers. We may
eliminate or shorten training for persons previously trained or with comparable
experience, however, any manager that has not successfully completed our Training
Program must pass the then-current version of competency exam by a grade of 80% or
higher.

Initial training lasts approximately two weeks and is held as needed, which we
estimate will be approximately three times a year. The training will be held at a
corporate unit located in California. Shelley Hwang will oversee the training program.

your personnel attending the Training Program and any other voluntary or mandatory
training programs, seminars or meetings. We may charge a tuition fee for training
programs (other than for your initial training).

we may reasonably require to correct, improve and/or enhance your operations, the
System and its members. In addition, we can require successful completion of training
by all of your supervisory personnel.

individual will hold

12. TERRITORY

Location and Customers

The Franchise awarded is for the operation of a single Pinkberry Store at an approved
location within a prescribed geographical area {the "Territory"). You may not change
the location from which you operate your Pinkberry Store without our prior written
consent, which may be granted at our sole discretion. Our current policy allows you to
solicit or service customers located anywhere, except (i) in another Pinkberry Store
franchisee's Territory and (ii) except that you may not solicit or service national or
regional accounts which are currently being serviced or solicited by us, our Affiliate, or
other Pinkberry Store Franchises. If you would like to use the Marks or System at
another location, then you must have our prior written consent from us. We may
award you additional Territory or franchises, but only at our sole discretion.

Territory

Subject to our rights as set forth below, we will not enter into a Franchise Agreement
licensing a Traditional Pinkberry Store, or ourselves open a Traditional Pinkberry
Store, inside the area (the "Territory") described in Exhibit 2.2 of the Franchise
Agreement. Your rights in the Territory are exactly (and only) as expressly below.
Except for the location of a Traditional

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006

20

92

Pinkberry Store within the Territory, you have no right to exclude, control or impose
conditions on the location or operation of present or future Pinkberry Store (or any
other brand) units or distribution channels of any type, franchised or Pinkberry Store
owned, regardless of their location or proximity to the Premises. You are not granted
any rights with respect to other and/or related businesses, products and/or services,
in which we or any Franchisor Related Persons/Entities may be involved, now or in
the future.

B. We and the Franchisor-Related Persons/Entities expressly reserve all other

rights, and can (along with anyone we designate):

1) own and/or operate ourselves, and/or authorize others to own and/or


operate:
a) any kind of business in the Territory, except for a Traditional Pinkberry Store,
whether or not using the Pinkberry Store Marks and System; and

b) any kind of business outside of the Territory, including without limitation,


Traditional Pinkberry Store, whether or not using the Pinkberry Store Marks and
System;

2) sell Pinkberry Store brand (or any other brand) Products and Services
(whether or not competitive) to customers located anywhere (including within the
Territory) using any channel of distribution other than a Traditional Pinkberry Store
located in the Territory;

3) develop or become associated with other concepts (including dual branding


and/or other franchise systems), whether or not using the Pinkberry Store System
and/or the Marks, and award franchises under such other concepts for locations
anywhere;

4) acquire, be acquired by, merge, affiliate with or engage in any transaction with
other businesses (whether competitive or not), with units located anywhere. Such
transactions may include (but are not limited to) arrangements involving competing
outlets and brand conversions {to or from the Pinkberry Store Marks and System).
Such transactions are expressly permitted under the Franchise Agreement, and you
agree to participate at your expense in any such conversion as instructed by us.

A "Traditional Pinkberry Store" is defined in Article 22 of the Franchise Agreement.


The term does not include non-Traditional Pinkberry Store or other distribution
opportunities. A non-Traditional Pinkberry Store concept may include (but is not
limited to) limited square footage outlets like an "express" unit or a kiosk; units
housed within other retail facilities, such as a department store, hotel or casino,
Internet sites and/or direct mail operations.

Our current policy is to allow you and other Pinkberry Store Franchisees to accept
orders from any customer located anywhere, but we can change this policy in our
Business Judgment. You agree to comply with any policy changes.

Exhibit 2.2 to the Franchise Agreement will state if the location and Territory for your
Traditional Pinkberry Store has not been identified by the date that you sign the

Pinkberry Store System Standards using the same methodology and scoring system as
we use to evaluated any Pinkberry Store owned and/or operated by us and/or our

being scored at that time. We will compare your scores with the average score in each
category as achieved by all Pinkberry Store in the United States (including those
owned and/or operated by us and/or our Affiliates), or other geographic area as we
believe appropriate for evaluation purposes.

Period Open* Financial Standards (adjusted every 6 months)


Less than Three Years 50% of PUA**
Three Years or More, But Less Than Four Years 65% of PUA**
Four Years or More 75% of PUA**

*Measured from the earlier of your actual opening date, or the date by which your
Pinkberry Store is required to be open.

**"PUA" or "Per Unit Average": The average Gross Revenue for all Pinkberry Stores in
the United States during the most recent 6 month period before the measuring date.

attorneys' fees against a losing party.

any indication that you and we have not had a meeting of the minds on any subject
covered by those statements. As to any law that might make void or unenforceable
any provision contained in any of the documents you sign, whether as a result of
statements we are required to make or otherwise, we reserve the right to challenge the

18. ARRANGEMENTS WITH PUBLIC FIGURES

We do not use any public figure to promote our Franchise.

19. EARNINGS CLAIMS

We do not provide or authorize any representations, express or implied, or any other


information, regarding potential sales, costs, earnings or other results of your
Pinkberry Franchised Business.

Even though our Affiliate has operated a Pinkberry Store for 2 years, we would not be
able to predict what results we might achieve, and we certainly have no way of
knowing what results you will achieve. How well you might do depends almost
entirely on factors outside our control, including your general business ability, your
resources, how closely you follow our System, your location, competition and how
good a businessperson you are. We do not authorize any sales, cost or income
projections, or estimates of any kind to you, nor should you rely on any projections or
estimates of any type from anyone.

We do not authorize our employees, salespersons or anyone else to make any claims
or statements regarding prospects or chances of success, actual or potential sales, costs,
earnings, income or profits of, or other financial matters regarding any Pinkberry
Franchise. We are not able to predict gross revenues, expenses, profit or other results
for franchised or Company-Owned Pinkberry Stores and do not, and will not, review
or comment on your proposed budget, business plan or otherwise.

Pinkberry Franchising Company - UFOC - 6/2006

30

If, at any time, you believe that any claim(s) or statement(s) regarding prospects or
chances of success, actual or potential sales, costs, earnings, income or profits of, or
other financial matters regarding, any Pinkberry Store have been made to you, you
must provide a written statement regarding the same next to your signature on the
Franchise Agreement. If any such claim or statement has been made to vou, it was not
authorized, and is inherently unreliable. You agree that vou will not and do not rely
upon any such claim, statement, information, promise. representation and/or warranty
and further agree that we are not bound by it. If vou do rely upon any unauthorized
claim or statement information, promise, representation and/or warranty
notwithstanding this instruction, vou do so at your own risk.

Before signing any binding documents or making any investment, you should make
your own independent investigation regarding the possible purchase of a Pinkberry
Store Franchise. This investigation should include speaking with current and past
Pinkberry Store Franchisees (if any); although you understand that any of these
Franchisees would have relatively short term experience with the Pinkberry Store
Franchise. You should also speak with independent advisors, such as an attorney
and/or accountant, to assist your determination of the suitability of your possible
investment in a Pinkberry Store Franchise.

20.

LIST OF OUTLETS

or involuntarily ceased to do business under our franchise agreement, and no
franchisee has failed to communicate with us within ten weeks prior to the application
date. In the interest of providing you with appropriate data, we have provided similar
