    AREA
      REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENT 

     

    THIS
      AREA REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENT (the
      "Agreement") is made as of this _____ day of ___________, 20____ between Planet
      Beach Franchising Corporation, a Louisiana corporation with an address at 5161
      Taravella Road, Marrero, Louisiana 70072 ("Planet Beach") and
      ___________________________________________ (“Area Representative").

     

    BACKGROUND
      

     

    A.
      Contemporaneous with the execution of this Agreement, you and Planet Beach
      have
      entered into a Single Unit Franchise Agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) for
      the right to establish and operate a single Planet Beach Tanning Spa (the “Your
      Spa”) and paid the Initial Franchise Fee. 

     

    B.
      Through the expenditure of money, time and effort, Planet Beach has developed
      a
      distinct and proprietary method business format for the operation of tanning
      spas (the “System”), the distinguishing characteristics of which include
      proprietary operating procedures and standards and specifications for products
      and services, as amended from time to time in Planet Beach’s sole discretion.

     

    C.
      The
      System is identified by proprietary trademarks, service marks, trade dress,
      logos and other indicia of origin including, without limitation, the trade
      name
      and service mark “Planet Beach Tanning Salon” (the “Proprietary Marks”).

     

    D.
      Planet
      Beach offers franchises to qualified individuals for the right to use the System
      and Proprietary Marks at a single approved location (the “Spa”). 

     

    E.
      Planet
      Beach continues to develop, expand, use, control and add to the Proprietary
      Marks and System for the benefit and exclusive use of itself and its franchisees
      in order to identify for the public the source of products and services marketed
      thereunder and to represent the System's high standards of quality and service;
      

     

    F.
      You
      have applied to Planet Beach for the non-exclusive right to serve as an
      independent representative of Planet Beach and to coordinate the development
      of
      the territory defined in the Data Sheet ("Territory") granted hereunder,
      including recruiting franchisees to operate Spas under Planet Beach's System
      and
      Proprietary Marks, as well as to provide continuing operational and supervisory
      assistance and otherwise administer the System within the Territory as specified
      herein; and 

     

    G.
      You
      acknowledge that you have read this Agreement and Planet Beach's Uniform
      Franchise Offering Circular, and that you have been given an opportunity to
      obtain clarification of any provision that you did not understand. You also
      understand and agree that the terms and conditions in this Agreement are
      necessary to maintain Planet Beach's high standards of quality and service,
      and
      the uniformity of those standards at all Planet Beach Tanning Spas.

    AGREEMENT
      

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for
      other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
      is
      hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, mutually
      agree as follows: 

     

    1.

      to recruit prospective franchisees in the Territory described in the Data Sheet
      (the “Territory”) and provide certain services to franchisees (as provided
      below) in the Territory in strict accordance with the System and under the
      Proprietary Marks. Each Spa sold in the Territory shall operate according to
      the
      terms of an individual Single Unit Franchise Agreement ("Franchise Agreement"),

      time
      to time by Planet Beach

      of
      distribution for selling its products including, but not limited to, tanning

    2 RELATIONSHIP
      OF THE PARTIES 

    

    12.1.
      Independent
      Contractor.
      The
      appointment of Area Representative pursuant to this Agreement does not make
      him
      an agent, partner, legal representative or employee of Planet Beach and the
      parties expressly agree that Area Representative is an independent contractor.
      Area Representative does not have the right to bind Planet Beach, to transact
      any business or make any promises or representations on behalf of Planet Beach,
      except as herein expressly provided. Area Representative will at all times
      represent himself only as an independent contractor who has been appointed
      and
      licensed as an Area Representative. Neither this Agreement nor the relationship
      between the parties hereto constitutes a partnership or a joint venture between
      Area Representative and Planet Beach. It is understood, acknowledged and agreed
      by the parties hereto that they do not intend to create by this Area
      Representative Agreement any type of franchise relationship. The relationship
      that exists between the parties is one of contracting for the services of Area
      Representative as an independent representative for franchise sales and support
      and this Area Representative Agreement is strictly a method to develop a program
      to sell and coordinate services for Planet Beach Spas and is not a master
      franchise, subfranchise, area development agreement, or any other type of
      franchise relationship of any kind or nature. If any state regulatory agency
      deems Area Representative to be a subfranchisee, Planet Beach shall assume
      responsibility for all necessary franchise registration filings in behalf of
      Area Representative and shall assume all costs for such necessary filing with
      appropriate state agencies. 

     

    12.2.
      Area
      Representative as a Franchisee.
      Subject
      to any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the relationship
      of Planet Beach and Area Representative with respect to the ownership and

      bankruptcy petition which is not dismissed within one year after filing;

    
      
        
        

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    15.1.2.
      If the Area Representative fails to comply with the Mandatory Development
      Schedule set forth in Paragraph 4 herein within the 1st
      calendar
      year as an Area Representative, Planet Beach , in Planet Beach’s sole
      discretion, remarket and resell your territory. If the Area Representative

      franchisees provide a written petition to Planet Beach that the Area
      Representative is not substantially providing the franchise support as outlined

      direct control, Planet Beach will immediately give written notice of such
      substantial noncompliance. Upon receipt of notice of non-compliance and
      franchisee petition the Area Representative will have 180 days or such time
      as
      is reasonable to cure such defaults

      events of default and grounds for termination described in this Paragraph 15

      between Planet Beach and the Area Representative. 

     

    15.3.
      Upon termination of this Agreement, the Area Representative will not have
      further rights to receive any portion of any remuneration described in Paragraph
      10 above, and Planet Beach will have complete and exclusive rights to the
      franchise and royalty fees collected from each Spa within the Territory.

     

    15.4.
      In
      the event that Planet Beach must expend legal fees in order to get a Spa within
      your Territory compliant, you will reimburse Planet Beach for 50% of said legal
      fees directly out of your share of royalty fees from said non-compliant Spa.

      right
      or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Planet Beach is exclusive of
      any
      other right or remedy provided or permitted by law or equity. 

     

    2 TRANSFERABILITY
      

    

    16.1.
      Planet Beach has the right to assign this Agreement, and all of its rights
      and
      privileges hereunder, to any person, firm, corporation or other entity provided
      that, with respect to any assignment resulting in the subsequent performance
      by
      the assignee of the functions of Planet Beach: (i)
      the
      assignee shall, at the time of such assignment, be financially responsible
      and
      economically capable of performing the obligations of Planet Beach hereunder,
      and (ii) the assignee shall expressly assume and agree to perform such
      obligations. 

     

    Specifically,
      and without limitation to the foregoing, Area Representative expressly affirms
      and agrees that Planet Beach may sell its assets, its Proprietary Marks, or
      its
      System outright to a third party; may go public; may engage in a private
      placement of some or all of its securities; may merge, acquire other
      corporations, or be acquired by another corporation; may undertake a
      refinancing, recapitalization, leveraged buy out or other economic or financial
      restructuring; and, with regard to any or all of the above sales, assignments
      and dispositions, Area Representative expressly and specifically waives any
      claims, demands or damages arising from or related to the loss of said
      Proprietary Marks (or any variation thereof) and/or the loss of association
      with
      or identification of “Planet Beach Franchising Corp.” as Planet Beach hereunder.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Nothing
      contained in this Agreement requires Planet Beach to remain in the Tanning
      Spa
      business or to offer the same products and services, whether or not bearing
      Planet Beach's Proprietary Marks, in the event that Planet Beach exercises
      its
      rights hereunder to assign its rights in this Agreement. 

     

    16.2.
      Area Representative understands and acknowledges that the rights and duties
      set
      forth in this Area Representative Agreement are personal to the Area
      Representative and are granted in reliance upon the individual or collective
      character, skill, aptitude and business and financial capacity of Area
      Representative or its principals. Area Representative has represented to Planet
      Beach that Area Representative is entering into this Area Representative
      Agreement with the intention of complying with its terms and conditions and
      not
      for the purpose of resale of its rights and obligations hereunder. 

     

    16.3.
      In
      the event that the Area Representative desires to sell its interest, right
      or
      license under this Agreement, it must submit to Planet Beach, in writing, the
      terms and conditions of any proposed sale or transfer, including the name or
      names of person or entity desiring to purchase such interest, rights or license
      of the Area Representative. Planet Beach will have 30 days from the date of
      the
      receipt of any notice of a bona fide offer to sell, to purchase the interest
      of
      the Area Representative upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in
      the
      offer to sell to the bona fide offeree. The right of first refusal granted
      hereunder to Planet Beach may be exercised in connection with any offer to
      sell
      which may be made by the Area Representative during the entire term of this
      Agreement and any renewal thereof. In the event that Planet Beach elects not
      to
      purchase the interest, rights and licenses granted to the Area Representative,
      then the remaining provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall apply. 

     

    16.4.
      Neither Area Representative nor any partner or shareholder thereof may, without
      Planet Beach's prior written consent, directly or indirectly sell, assign,
      transfer, convey, give away, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber any interest
      in this Agreement without the prior written consent of Planet Beach.

     

    16.5.
      Planet Beach will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to the transfer
      of any interest in the Area Representative; provided, however, that prior to
      the
      time of the transfer, Planet Beach may, in its sole discretion require that:
      

     

    16.5.1.
      The transferee demonstrate to Planet Beach's satisfaction that it meets Planet
      Beach's requirements that existed under the original Agreement and have the
      adequate financial resources and capital to manage the Territory; and transferee
      must submit to Planet Beach an application in the form prescribed by Planet
      Beach; 

     

    16.5.2.
      At transferee's expense and upon such other terms and conditions as Planet
      Beach
      may reasonably require, transferee or transferee's manager must complete any
      training course then in effect for Area Representatives; 

     

    16.5.3.
      Except in the case of a transfer to a corporation formed solely for the
      convenience of ownership, a transfer fee of 10% of Planet Beach’s then-current
      Area Representative fee shall be paid to Planet Beach from Area Representative;
      

     

    16.5.4.
      Area Representative's execution of a general release, in a form prescribed
      by
      Planet Beach, of all claims against Planet Beach, it affiliates and its
      officers, directors, agents, and employees. Notwithstanding such release, Area
      Representative shall remain obligated under those provisions of this Agreement
      that expressly extend beyond the term hereof; and 

     

    16.5.5.
      Transferee's execution of Planet Beach's then-current area representative
      agreement. 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        19

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    16.6.
      Planet Beach shall have the irrevocable first right and option to purchase
      your
      business on the same terms and conditions as any bona fide purchaser. If you
      receive an acceptable bona fide offer from a third party to purchase the
      Territory or any or all of your assets, you shall provide Planet Beach with
      a
      copy of the written purchase offer, which offer shall contain all of the terms
      of the proposed sale and the identity of the proposed purchaser. At Planet
      Beach’s request, the proposed purchaser shall promptly complete and submit to
      Planet Beach a franchise application and any other information Planet Beach
      deems necessary, in its discretion, to evaluate the proposed transferee. Planet
      Beach may exercise this right of first refusal by notifying you of Planet
      Beach's decision to do so in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt
      of
      all items required above. Silence on Planet Beach's part shall constitute
      rejection. If Planet Beach fails to exercise this option, all provisions
      relating to assignment of this Agreement remain in full force and effect. The
      election by Planet Beach not to exercise Planet Beach's option as to any offer
      shall not affect Planet Beach's right of first refusal as to any subsequent
      offer. Any sale or attempted sale without first giving Planet Beach the right
      of
      first refusal shall be void and of no force or effect. 

     

    16.7.
      In
      the event of the death or permanent incapacity of the Area Representative,
      the
      spouse or personal representative of Area Representative may, on request in
      writing to Planet Beach made within 90 days of such death or permanent
      incapacity, continue to act as Area Representative under this Agreement for
      a
      period of 1 year from the date of such request is received by Planet Beach
      to
      the expiration of the aforesaid 1 year period. Said spouse or personal
      representative must file with Planet Beach an application for an Area
      Representative Agreement. Said spouse or personal representative may, in the
      alternative, offer for sale the Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions
      of this section, including Planet Beach's right of first refusal contained
      in
      paragraph 16.6. 

     

    If
      application is made to Planet Beach for an Area Representative Agreement, Planet
      Beach agrees to authorize the person designated in such application to become
      an
      Area Representative under this Agreement for the balance of the term hereof
      provided that such person substantially meets Planet Beach's qualifications
      to
      become an Area Representative under the terms of this Agreement, successfully
      completes all training required under this Agreement, and this Agreement is
      not
      in default. No transfer fee will be required upon transfer of this Agreement
      to
      the surviving spouse, heirs, beneficiaries or devisee of Area Representative.
      Except as provided in this Agreement, if the representative fails to take the
      steps stated above shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. 

     

    17.
      RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UPON TERMINATION 

     

    17.1.
      Area Representative agrees that after the termination of this agreement, for
      any
      reason, it shall:

      or indicates a connection or association with Planet Beach or its affiliates
      and
      franchisees; 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        20

      materials, forms, invoices and other materials containing any Proprietary Marks

      right
      to use any telephone numbers and any regular, classified or other telephone
      directory listings associated with any Proprietary Marks and authorize transfer
      of same to or at the direction of Planet Beach. Area Representative agrees
      to
      execute updated letters of direction to telephone companies and telephone
      directory listing agencies directing termination and/or transfer of Area
      Representative's right to use telephone numbers associated with the Proprietary

      Area
      Representative acknowledges that as between Planet Beach and Area
      Representative, Planet Beach has the sole right to and interest in all telephone
      numbers and directory listing associated with any Proprietary Marks. Area
      Representative authorizes Planet Beach, and hereby appoints Planet Beach and

      officer of Planet Beach as its attorney in fact, to direct the appropriate
      telephone company and all listing agencies to transfer same to Planet Beach
      or
      at is direction, should Area Representative fail or refuse to do so, and the
      appropriate telephone company and all listing agencies may accept such direction
      of this Agreement or Area Representative's letter of direction held by Planet
      Beach as conclusive of the exclusive rights of Planet Beach in such telephone
      number and directory listings and its authority to direct their transfer; and
      

     

    17.1.6.
      Furnish to Planet Beach, within 30 days after the effective date of termination
      or expiration, evidence satisfactory to Planet Beach of Area Representative's
      compliance with the foregoing obligations.

      is operating one or more franchises pursuant to the terms of individual
      franchise agreements entered into with Planet Beach, then all of the rights
      and
      obligations under such individual franchise agreements will be applicable;
      however, to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between any individual
      franchise agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of individual Franchise
      Agreement will govern. 

     

    1 All
      obligations of Area Representative which expressly or by their nature service
      the expiration or termination of this Agreement will continue in full force
      and
      effect subsequent to and notwithstanding its expiration or termination and
      until
      they are satisfied in full or by their nature expire.

      AND MODIFICATIONS 

    

    Planet
      Beach may modify this Agreement only upon the execution of a written agreement
      by Planet Beach and Area Representative. Planet Beach reserves and will have
      the
      sole right to make changes in the Manual, the System and the Proprietary Marks
      at any time and without prior notice to Area Representative. Area Representative
      must promptly alter any signs, products, business materials or related items,
      at

    Area
      Representative understands and agrees that due to changes in competitive
      circumstances, presently unforeseen changes in the needs of customers, and/or
      presently unforeseen technological innovations, Planet Beach's System must
      not
      remain static, in order that it best serve the interests of Planet Beach, Area
      Representative and the System. Accordingly, Area Representative expressly
      understands and agrees that Planet Beach may from time to time change the
      components of the System, including but not limited to, altering the programs,

      adding to, deleting from or modifying those programs, products and services
      which the Spa is authorized to offer; and changing, improving or modifying
      the

      Representative expressly agrees to abide by any such modifications, changes,
      additions, deletions and alterations.

      notify you as to whether Planet Beach or its affiliates elects to exercise
      its
      option to submit such claim or dispute to mediation. You may not commence any
      action against Planet Beach or its affiliates with respect to any such claim
      or
      dispute in any court unless Planet Beach fails to exercise its option to submit
      such claim or dispute to mediation, or such mediation proceedings have been
      terminated either: (i) as the result of a written declaration of the mediator(s)
      that further mediation efforts are not worthwhile; or (ii) as a result of a
      written declaration by Planet Beach. The parties shall each bear their own
      costs
      of mediation and shall share equally the filing fee imposed by NFMP and the
      mediator’s fees. Planet Beach’s rights to mediation, as set forth herein, may be
      specifically enforced by Planet Beach.

    20.4.
      Arbitration.
      All
      disputes and claims relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered
      into between the parties, the rights and obligations of the parties, or any
      other claims or causes of action relating to the making, interpretation, or
      performance of either party under this Agreement, shall be settled by
      arbitration in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana in accordance with the Federal
      Arbitration Act and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
      Association ("AAA"). Any arbitration proceeding, or any claim in arbitration
      (including any defense and any claim of setoff or recoupment), must be brought
      or asserted before the expiration of the earlier of (1) the time period for
      bringing an action under any applicable state or federal statute of limitation;
      (2) 1 year after the date upon which a party discovered or should have
      discovered, the facts giving rise to an alleged claim; or (3) 2 years after
      the
      first act or omission giving rise to an alleged claim. Claims of Planet Beach
      attributable to the underreporting of sales and claims of the parties for
      indemnification shall be subject only to the applicable state or federal statute
      of limitation. 

     

    The
      right
      and duty of the parties to this Agreement to resolve any disputes by arbitration
      shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, as amended. The following
      shall supplement and, in the event of a conflict, shall govern any arbitration:
      If the claim is for less than $35,000 than the matter shall be heard before
      a
      single arbitrator. If the claim, or a counterclaim, is for $35,000 or more,
      the
      matter may be heard before a panel of three (3) arbitrators if both parties
      agree and each party shall appoint its own arbitrator, and the appointed
      arbitrators shall appoint a “neutral” arbitrator from the AAA’s list of
      arbitrators. If the parties do not agree the matter shall be heard before a
      single arbitrator. Arbitrability will be decided by the arbitrator. Neither
      party shall pursue class claims and/or consolidate the arbitration with any
      other proceeding to which the franchisor is a party. Each party must bear its
      own costs of arbitration including the fee for their respective arbitrator;
      provided, however, that the neutral or the single arbitrator's fee shall be
      shared equally by Planet Beach and you. 

     

    The
      arbitrator's award shall include all fees, costs and attorneys' fees for the
      prevailing party. The arbitrators shall have no authority to amend or modify
      the
      terms of the Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no issue
      of
      fact or law shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any
      arbitration, except to the extent such issue may have been determined in another
      proceeding between the parties. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator shall
      be submitted for confirmation to the United States District for the Eastern
      District of Louisiana and, if confirmed, may be subsequently entered in any
      court having competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive
      any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

     

    20.5.
      Third
      Party Beneficiaries.
      Planet
      Beach’s officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and/or affiliates
      are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and the mediation and
      arbitration provisions contained herein, each having authority to specifically
      enforce the right to mediate and arbitrate claims asserted against such
      person(s) by you. 

     

    20.6.
      Injunctive
      Relief.
      Nothing
      contained in this Agreement herein shall prevent the parties from applying
      to or
      obtaining from any court having jurisdiction, without bond, a writ of
      attachment, temporary injunction, preliminary injunction and/or other emergency
      relief available to safeguard and protect the parties’ interest prior to the
      filing of any arbitration proceeding or pending the trial or handing down of
      a
      decision or award pursuant to any arbitration proceeding conducted hereunder.

    20.7.
      Jurisdiction and Venue. With respect to any proceeding not subject to
      arbitration, the parties agree that any action at law or in equity instituted
      against either party to this Agreement shall be commenced only in the 24th
      Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, Louisiana or the United
      States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana at Planet Beach’s
      discretion. 

     

    20.8.
      Jury
      Trial Waiver.
      With
      respect to any proceeding not subject to arbitration, the parties hereby agree
      to waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim, whether at
      law
      or equity, regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver shall apply to
      any
      matter whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises out of or is related
      in any way to this Agreement, the performance of either party, and/or your
      purchase from Planet Beach of the franchise and/or any goods or services.

     

    20.9.
      Waiver
      of Punitive Damages.
      You
      waive to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to or claim for any
      punitive, exemplary, incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages
      (including, without limitation, lost profits) which you may have against Planet
      Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns, arising out of any cause
      whatsoever (whether such cause be based in contract, negligence, strict
      liability, other tort or otherwise) and agree that in the event of a dispute,
      recovery shall be limited to actual damages. If any other term of this Agreement
      is found or determined to be unconscionable or unenforceable for any reason,
      the
      foregoing provisions shall continue in full force and effect, including, without
      limitation, the waiver of any right to claim any consequential damages.

     

    20.10.
      Attorneys’
      Fees.
      If
      either party institutes any judicial or arbitration proceeding to enforce any
      monetary or non-monetary obligations or interpret the terms of this Agreement
      and Planet Beach prevails in the action or proceeding, you shall be liable
      to
      Planet Beach for all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in
      connection with such proceeding. 

     

    20.11.
      Nonwaiver.
      Planet
      Beach’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this
      Agreement shall not be a waiver of Planet Beach's right to do so, any law,
      custom, usage or rule to the contrary notwithstanding. Delay or omission by
      Planet Beach respecting any breach or default shall not affect Planet Beach's
      rights respecting any subsequent breaches or defaults. All rights and remedies
      granted in this Agreement shall be cumulative. Planet Beach's election to
      exercise any remedy available by law or contract shall not be deemed a waiver
      or
      preclude exercise of any other remedy. 

     

    1 Class
      Action Waiver. You hereby agree to waive any class action proceeding or
      counterclaim against Planet Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns,
      whether at law or equity, regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver
      shall apply to any matter whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises
      out
      of or is related in any way to this Agreement, the performance of either party,
      and/or your purchase from Planet Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns
      of
      the franchise and/or any goods or services.

    21.1.
      Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties concerning the
      area
      representative's opportunity; no promises, inducements or representations not
      contained in this Agreement have been made, nor shall any be of any force or
      effect, or binding on the parties. Modifications of this Agreement must be
      in
      writing and signed by both parties. Planet Beach reserves the right to change
      Planet Beach's policies, procedures, standards, specifications or manuals at
      Planet Beach's discretion.

    21.2.
      Survival.
      Any
      provisions of this Agreement which may be reasonably interpreted to impose
      any
      obligation after termination or expiration hereof shall survive such termination
      or expiration and be binding upon the parties. 

     

    21.3.
      Severability.
      The
      parties agree that if any provisions of this Agreement may be construed in
      two
      ways, one of which would render the provision illegal or otherwise voidable
      or
      unenforceable and the other which would render it valid and enforceable, such
      provision shall have the meaning, which renders it valid and enforceable. The
      language of all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to
      fair meaning and not strictly construed against either party. The provisions
      of
      this Agreement are severable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and
      enforced as if all completely invalid or unenforceable provisions were not
      contained herein, and partially valid and enforceable provisions shall be
      enforced to the extent that they are valid and enforceable. If any material
      provision of this Agreement shall be stricken or declared invalid, the parties
      agree to negotiate mutually acceptable substitute provisions. In the event
      that
      the parties are unable to agree upon such provisions, Planet Beach reserves
      the
      right to terminate this Agreement. 

     

    21.4.
      Construction. The terms "Area Representative" and "you" shall be construed
      to
      refer to the male or female gender in all cases where the Area Representative
      is
      an individual, masculine or feminine modifiers and pronouns notwithstanding.
      The
      term "Area Representative" and "you" include all persons or entities identified
      as “area representative” in the Data Sheet. The term “principals” shall include
      your general and limited partners, if you are a partnership, your officers,
      directors and shareholders, if you are a corporation, and your members and
      managers, if you are a limited liability company. The paragraph captions are
      inserted only for convenience and reference, and are not intended to define,
      limit or describe the scope, intent or language of this Agreement or any
      provisions hereof. 

     

    21.5.
      Binding
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their heirs, executors, personal
      representatives, successors and assigns. All area representative signatories
      to
      this Agreement and all partners of a partnership area representative, all
      officers, directors and shareholders of a corporate area representative, and
      all
      members and managers of a limited liability company area representative, shall
      be jointly and severally liable for the performance of all terms, covenants
      and
      conditions hereof. 

     

    22.
       PERSONAL
      GUARANTY OF SHAREHOLDERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS AND MANAGERS 

    

    You
      acknowledge that all partners in a limited partnership, shareholders in a
      corporate Area Representative, or members and managers in a limited liability
      company Area Representative are obligated to execute a Guaranty Agreement
      whereunder each agrees to personally abide by all of the terms and conditions
      of
      this Agreement, and guarantees to Planet Beach your performance of this
      Agreement and your financial obligations. Unless all such partners,
      shareholders, or members and managers execute such Guaranty Agreement
      concurrently herewith, this Agreement shall, at Planet Beach's option, become
      null and void and confer no rights upon you nor any partner, shareholder, member
      or manager. All guarantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the
      performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof. If you are
      an
      individual(s), or subsequent to execution hereof, you assign this Agreement
      to
      an individual(s), such individual's spouse hereby personally and unconditionally
      guarantees without notice, demand or presentment the payment of all of your
      monetary obligations under this Agreement as if each were an original party
      to
      this Agreement in his or her individual capacity. All such spouses further
      agree
      to be bound by the restrictions upon your activities upon transfer, termination
      or expiration of this Agreement as if each were an original party to this
      Agreement in his or her individual capacity. All such spouses shall execute
      the
      Guaranty Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C to this Agreement.

      other than as expressly set forth herein. 

     

    23.2.
      Acknowledgements.
      The
      success of the business venture contemplated to be undertaken by Area
      Representative by virtue of this Agreement is speculative and depends, to a
      large extent, upon the ability of the Area Representative as an independent
      businessman, and its active participation in the daily affairs of the business
      as well as other factors. Planet Beach does not make any representations or
      warranty, express or implied, as to the potential success of the business
      venture contemplated hereby. 

     

    Area
      Representative acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement after making
      an independent investigation of Planet Beach's operations and not upon any
      representation as to gross revenues, volume, potential earnings or profits
      which
      Area Representative in particular might be expected to realize, nor has anyone
      made any other representation which is not expressly set forth herein, to induce
      Area Representative to accept this license and execute this agreement.

     

    Area
      Representative represents that it has read this Agreement in its entirety and
      that it has been given the opportunity to clarify any provisions that it did
      not

      and
      obligations of this Agreement and agrees to be bound thereby.

      GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WERE MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF PLANET BEACH,

      JUDGMENTS, THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES, MARKET CONDITIONS AND VARIABLE
      FACTORS BEYOND THE CONTROL OR INFLUENCE OF PLANET BEACH. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND
      THAT SOME AREA REPRESENTATIVES ARE MORE, OR LESS, SUCCESSFUL THAN OTHER AREA
      REPRESENTATIVES AND THAT PLANET BEACH HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS THAT YOU
      WILL
      DO AS WELL AS ANY OTHER AREA REPRESENTATIVES.

    PLANET
      BEACH FRANCHISING CORPORATION SINGLE UNIT FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

     

    THIS
      FRANCHISE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the Effective Date set
      forth
      on the Data Sheet of this Agreement between Planet Beach Franchising
      Corporation, a Louisiana corporation with an address at 5161 Taravella Road,
      Marrero, Louisiana 70072 ("Planet Beach"), and the Franchisee identified in
      the
      Data Sheet ("you"). The information contained in the Data Sheet is incorporated
      into this Agreement. 

     

    BACKGROUND
      

     

    A.
      Through the expenditure of money, time and effort, Planet Beach has developed
      a
      distinct and proprietary method business format for the operation of tanning
      spas (the “System”), the distinguishing characteristics of which include
      proprietary operating procedures and standards and specifications for products
      and services, as amended from time to time in Planet Beach’s sole discretion.

     

    B.
      The
      System is identified by proprietary trademarks, service marks, trade dress,
      logos and other indicia of origin including, without limitation, the trade
      name
      and service mark “Planet Beach Tanning Spa” (the "Proprietary Marks”).

     

    C.
      Planet
      Beach offers franchises to qualified individuals for the right to use the System
      and Proprietary Marks at a single approved location (the “Spa”). 

     

    D.
      You
      have applied to Planet Beach for the right to operate a Spa pursuant to the
      terms of this Agreement, and Planet Beach has approved your application in
      reliance upon all of the representations made in your application, including
      those concerning your financial resources, your business experience and
      interests, and the manner in which the franchise will be owned and operated.
      

     

    E.
      You
      acknowledge that you have read this Agreement and Planet Beach's Uniform
      Franchise Offering Circular, and that you have been given an opportunity to
      obtain clarification of any provision that you did not understand. You also
      understand and agree that the terms and conditions in this Agreement are
      necessary to maintain Planet Beach's high standards of quality and service,
      and
      the uniformity of those standards at all Planet Beach Tanning Spas.

     

    AGREEMENT
      

     

    NOW
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for
      other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
      is
      hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, mutually
      agree as follows: 

     

    1.
      FRANCHISE GRANT 

     

    Planet
      Beach grants to you, and you hereby accept, a nonexclusive franchise to
      establish and operate one Spa pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. This
      Agreement does not give you the right to establish additional Spas.

     

    2.
      LOCATION 

     

    2.1.
      Approved
      Location.
      You
      shall operate your Spa only from the Approved Location identified in, or (if
      the
      parties have not agreed upon a location at the time this Agreement is signed)
      to
      be identified, in the Data Sheet. You may not offer or sell any products or
      services offered by the Spa at or from any location other than the Approved
      Location. You may not conduct any other business from the Approved Location.
      

    
      
        
        

      

      
        32

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    2.2.
      Site
      Selection. If you do not execute a Preliminary Deposit Agreement, then you
      must
      obtain a site for the Spa within 120 days from the Effective Date set forth
      on
      the Data Sheet (“Site Selection Period”) either by (i) entering into a lease or
      sublease with the owner of a site or the prime tenant having possession of
      a
      site which is mutually acceptable to you and Planet Beach; or (ii) purchasing
      real estate which is mutually acceptable to you and Planet Beach. Prior to
      the
      expiration of the Site Selection Period, upon your written request, Planet
      Beach, in Planet Beach’s sole and absolute discretion, may elect to extend the
      Site Selection Period. Upon location of a proposed site, you must provide Planet
      Beach such site information as Planet Beach may reasonably request to evaluate
      the proposed site for compliance with Planet Beach’s then-current site selection
      criteria. Planet Beach will notify you of its acceptance or rejection of the
      proposed site within 30 days after receiving all requested information. Planet
      Beach’s acceptance of a site does not constitute any representation or guarantee
      concerning the site’s viability or success. You are solely responsible for
      selecting a site for the operation of your Spa. 

     

    2.3.
      Lease.
      If you
      do not execute a Preliminary Deposit Agreement, then the following must occur:
      If you elect to lease premises for your Spa, you must submit a copy of your
      proposed lease for Planet Beach’s approval prior to execution. Planet Beach will
      notify you of its approval or disapproval within 30 days from its receipt of
      the
      proposed lease. Planet Beach has the right to condition its approval of the
      lease on, among other things, the landlord’s execution of the Rider to Lease
      attached as Exhibit D to this Agreement. Your lease must provide that all signs
      erected at or installed upon the leased premises shall be deemed not to be
      fixtures, shall not become a part of the leased premises, and may be removed
      upon expiration or termination of this Agreement. You must obtain a waiver
      of
      any lien or right of lien on signs to secure payment for any obligation due
      to
      the landlord under the lease. You must deliver an executed copy of the lease
      to
      Planet Beach within 15 days after the execution of the lease. Planet Beach's
      acceptance of the lease terms does not constitute an expression of Planet
      Beach's opinion regarding the terms of the lease or the viability of the
      location. 

     

    1 Relocation.
      Planet
      Beach will permit you to relocate your Spa to a new approved location within
      the
      Territory, at your expense, if you lose the right to possess the premises
      through no fault of your own, or if the Spa is destroyed by vandalism, fire
      or
      act of God. Planet Beach will approve the new site if it meets Planet Beach’s
      site selection criteria. You have no right to relocate the Spa without Planet
      Beach's prior written consent. 

     

    2 TERRITORY
      

    

    3.1.
      Territory.
      During
      the term of this Agreement, so long as you are in substantial compliance with
      the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Planet Beach will not establish
      or
      locate, or grant any third party the right to establish or locate, another
      Planet Beach Tanning Spa using the System and Proprietary Marks within the
      Territory identified, or to be identified, in the Data Sheet, except as set
      forth in paragraph 3.2 below. This Agreement does not grant you any other
      territorial rights. 

     

    3.2.
      Reservation
      of Rights.
      Planet
      Beach retains the right, among others, to: (i) establish and grant others the
      right to establish Planet Beach Tanning Spas outside the Territory; and (ii)
      use
      the Proprietary Marks in alternative forms of distribution for selling its
      products including, but not limited to, tanning beds, lotions and other
      products. Such forms of distribution include, without limitation, offering
      Planet Beach products within health clubs, beauty salons, spas, stores,
      boutiques and other locations, as well as through fixed stores, the internet
      and
      mail order sales.

      new product or service or to acquire items from a new supplier, such approval
      will be only for the specific product, service or supplier for which approval

      You
      must participate in all marketing programs required by Planet Beach in writing
      or contained in the Operations Manual. You may place or display at your Spa

      and marketing materials as Planet Beach approves in writing from time to time.
      You must submit to Planet Beach, at least 10 days prior to your use, samples
      of
      all sales promotional and marketing materials you desire to use for approval.
      Planet Beach's failure to approve or disapprove the materials within 10 days
      of
      receipt will be deemed a disapproval. You may not use any marketing or
      promotional materials for which Planet Beach has not given its prior written
      approval. 

     

    15.2.
      Territorial
      Marketing Restriction.
      You are
      not permitted to solicit customers and/or market outside your Territory, except
      to the extent that you have received Planet Beach's prior written authorization,
      which Planet Beach will not unreasonably withhold. Planet Beach may condition
      its authorization upon your agreement to offer System franchisees who are
      operating Spas in contiguous territories the opportunity to participate in,
      and
      share the expense of, such solicitation and/or marketing. You may not market
      your Spa or any products or services offered by the Spa via the Internet without
      Planet Beach’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Planet
      Beach’s sole discretion. 

     

    15.3.
      Marketing
      Fund.
      Planet
      Beach has established a national marketing fund ("National Fund") and may,
      in
      its discretion, establish local marketing cooperatives for the common benefit
      of
      Planet Beach's franchisees. 

     

    15..3.1
      National
      Fund.
      Planet
      Beach requires you to participate in and contribute monthly to the National
      Fund
      a minimum of 1%, not to exceed 2%, of your Gross Sales ("Monthly Marketing
      Fee"). The Monthly Marketing Fee shall be paid, through the AUTODRAFT system
      on
      the 5th day of each month. In the event that any payments are due on a national
      holiday, payment will be due on the first business day following such holiday.
      Planet Beach will use National Fund contributions, in its sole discretion,
      to
      develop, produce and distribute national, regional and/or local marketing and
      to
      create marketing materials and public relations, which promote, in Planet
      Beach's sole judgment, the products and services offered by Planet Beach Tanning
      Spas. Planet Beach has the sole right to determine contributions and
      expenditures from the National Fund and sole authority to determine, without
      limitation, the selection of the marketing materials and programs; provided,
      however, that Planet Beach will make a good faith effort to expend National
      Fund
      contributions in the general best interests of the System. Nevertheless, you
      acknowledge that not all Planet Beach franchisees will benefit directly or
      on a
      pro rata basis from such expenditures. While Planet Beach does not anticipate
      that any part of the National Fund contributions will be used for marketing
      which is principally a solicitation for franchisees, Planet Beach reserves
      the
      right to include a notation in any advertisement indicating "Franchises
      Available" or “For Franchise Information Call.” Planet Beach has the right to
      reimburse itself from the National Fund contributions for such reasonable costs
      and overhead, if any, as Planet Beach may incur in activities reasonably related
      to the direction and implementation of the National Fund. At your request,
      Planet Beach will provide you with an unaudited accounting of National Fund
      expenditures on an annual basis.

    15.3.2.
      Local
      Cooperatives.
      Planet
      Beach has the right, in our discretion, to designate any geographical area
      for
      purposes of establishing a regional marketing and promotional cooperative
      (“Cooperative”), and to determine whether you must participate in a Cooperative.
      If a Cooperative has been established applicable to the Spa at the time you
      begin operating under this Agreement, you must immediately become a member
      of
      such Cooperative. If a Cooperative applicable to the Spa is established at
      any
      later time during the term of this Agreement, you must become a member of such
      Cooperative no later than 30 days after the date on which the Cooperative begins
      operation. Planet Beach has the right to change, combine or dissolve
      cooperatives. If the Spa is within the territory of more than one Cooperative,
      you are required to be a member of only one such Cooperative. The following
      provisions will apply to each Cooperative: 

     

    
      	 	
              a)
                

            	
              Each
                Cooperative will be organized and governed in a form and manner,
                and will
                commence operation on a date, approved in advance by Planet Beach;
                

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              b)
                

            	
              Each
                Cooperative will be organized for the exclusive purpose of administering
                regional marketing programs and developing, subject to our approval,
                standardized marketing materials for use by the members in local

       INSURANCE
      

    

    You
      must
      obtain and maintain at your sole expense at all times during the term of this
      Agreement such insurance coverage, as Planet Beach from time to time shall
      specify, including but not limited to, comprehensive general liability
      insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, unemployment insurance and any other
      insurance coverage required by law. Each policy shall be written by an insurance
      company acceptable to Planet Beach, and shall name Planet Beach and its
      officers, directors, agents, attorneys, employees and affiliates as additional
      insured parties. You shall promptly deliver to Planet Beach original
      certificates evidencing that all insurance required by Planet Beach is in full
      force and effect prior to opening the Spa for business. You shall deliver to
      Planet Beach each year renewal certificates. All policies must provide that
      the
      policy may not be cancelled, terminated, modified or reduced in terms of
      coverage, without 30 days prior written notice to Planet Beach. If you fail
      to
      obtain or maintain the required insurance, Planet Beach has the right, but
      is
      not obligated, to obtain and maintain such insurance coverage on your behalf
      and
      to charge you for such coverage, together with a service fee which shall not
      exceed 25% of the insurance premium. There is no assurance that minimum
      insurance requirements will be adequate to satisfy your needs.

      You must deliver to Planet Beach within 20 days of the end of each fiscal

      You
      must submit your monthly Spa financial reports in a manner specified by Planet
      Beach, including accurate amounts for all Spa operational expenses. Failure

      Application
      of Payments.
      Planet
      Beach has the right to apply all payments as it deems appropriate in its
      discretion, regardless of the purpose for which such payment is designated;
      provided, however, Planet Beach shall not apply payment to any indebtedness
      that
      you have identified in writing as a disputed charge.

      Interest.
      You
      must pay all bills, fees, charges and other obligations to Planet Beach in
      strict accordance with the applicable payment and credit terms. Any amount
      not
      paid when due, will bear interest from the due date at the rate of 18% per
      annum, or the maximum allowed by law, whichever rate shall be less. Interest
      will be compounded monthly. The payment of such interest or other amounts due
      shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other rights available to
      Planet Beach. 

     

    1 Audits.
      Planet
      Beach or its designee may inspect or conduct an audit of your accounts, business
      and financial books and records, local marketing records, tax returns and other
      records during regular business hours. If the audit discloses an understatement
      of Gross Receipts for any period or periods, you must immediately pay to Planet
      Beach all Royalty Fees and any other sums due under this Agreement, plus
      interest on these monies at the rate set forth in this Agreement. If any audit
      reveals that you have underreported any amounts by more than 2% in any period
      or
      periods, or if you fail to timely submit complete, accurate and legible reports,
      then in addition to paying all monies due, you shall reimburse Planet Beach
      for
      the cost of the audit, including the charges of any independent certified public
      accountant, attorneys' fees, other legal costs and the travel expenses, room,
      board and compensation of Planet Beach's employees. 

     

    2 INSPECTIONS
      

    

    Planet
      Beach has the right at any time during regular business hours, and without
      prior
      notice, to conduct a reasonable inspection of the Spa. Any such inspection
      will
      be at Planet Beach’s expense, unless Planet Beach is required to make any
      additional inspections in connection with your failure to comply with this
      Agreement. In such event, Planet Beach has the right to charge you for the
      costs
      of making the additional inspections, including without limitation travel
      expenses, room and board and compensation of employees. You must promptly remedy
      at your sole expense any deficiency found during any inspection.

      23.4.
        Death
        or Disability.
        In the
        event of your death, disability or incapacitation (or the death, disability
        or
        incapacitation of your principals or personal guarantors if you are a
        partnership, corporation or limited liability company), your legal
        representative (or your principal's or guarantor's respective legal
        representative, as applicable) shall have the right to continue the operation
        of
        the Spa under this Agreement, without payment of a transfer fee, if: (i)
        within
        90 days from the date of death, disability or incapacitation (the "90 day
        period"), such person has obtained Planet Beach's prior written approval;
        and
        (ii) such person successfully completes Planet Beach's required training
        programs (which Planet Beach will provide at its then-current tuition rate).
        Such assignment by operation of law will not be deemed in violation of this
        Agreement, provided such heirs or legatees accept the conditions imposed
        by this
        Agreement and are acceptable to Planet Beach. 

       

      23.5.
        Right
        of First Refusal.
        Planet
        Beach shall have the irrevocable first right and option to purchase your
        business on the same terms and conditions as any bona fide purchaser who
        wishes
        to become a Planet Beach franchisee. If you receive an acceptable bona fide
        offer from a third party to purchase the Spa or any or all of the Spa’s assets,
        you shall provide Planet Beach with a copy of the written purchase offer,
        which
        offer shall contain all of the terms of the proposed sale and the identity
        of
        the proposed purchaser. At Planet Beach’s request, the proposed purchaser shall
        promptly complete and submit to Planet Beach a franchise application and
        any
        other information Planet Beach deems necessary, in its discretion, to evaluate
        the proposed transferee. Planet Beach may exercise this right of first refusal
        by notifying you of Planet Beach's decision to do so in writing within 30
        days
        after receipt of all items required above. Silence on Planet Beach's part
        shall
        constitute rejection. If Planet Beach fails to exercise this option, all
        provisions relating to assignment of this Agreement remain in full force
        and
        effect. The election by Planet Beach not to exercise Planet Beach's option
        as to
        any offer shall not affect Planet Beach's right of first refusal as to any
        subsequent offer. Any sale or attempted sale without first giving Planet
        Beach
        the right of first refusal shall be void and of no force or effect.

       

      23.6.

        If you are the owner of more than 25% of another Planet Beach Tanning Spa
        franchise or corporate or limited liability company franchisee, then any
        breach

                  Planet Beach, within 30 days after the effective date of termination
                  or
                  expiration, evidence satisfactory to Planet Beach of your compliance
                  with
                  the foregoing obligations; and 

              

      

       

      
        	
              	25.1.11.	
                Comply
                  with all provisions of this Agreement that by their nature survive
                  the
                  termination or expiration of this Agreement.

              

      

       

      25.2.
        Security
        Interest in Personal Property.
        Planet
        Beach shall have a security interest in any equipment, supplies and other
        personal property on the site, if Planet Beach has not received all funds
        due
        and owing from you and if Planet Beach is entitled by law to possession and
        a
        lien against such property. 

       

      25.3.
        Option
        to Purchase Personal Property.
        Planet
        Beach, its affiliate or its assignee also has the option, but is not obligated,
        to purchase any personal property used in connection with operation of your
        Spa
        by providing you written notice of its election within 30 days after termination
        or expiration of this Agreement and paying you the book value for such personal
        property within 30 days of such notice. For purposes of this paragraph, “book
        value” means the amount you actually paid for the personal property less
        depreciation (calculated by using the straight-line depreciation method on
        a 10
        year depreciation schedule irrespective of the depreciation method or schedule
        you use for accounting purposes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
        that Planet Beach exercises its right to purchase any personal property that
        is
        subject to a lease or finance agreement, the purchase price of such personal
        property shall equal the amount of your remaining obligations under the lease
        or
        finance agreement, as applicable. In the event that the amounts due are in
        excess of book value, then the purchase price shall be equal to the lesser
        of
        the amount due under the lease or finance agreement or book value. Planet Beach
        shall be entitled to offset the purchase price by the amount of money owed
        by
        you to Planet Beach for any payments necessary to acquire clear title to
        property or for any other debt. If Planet Beach exercises its option to
        purchase, pending the closing of such purchase, Planet Beach has the right
        to
        appoint a manager to maintain operation of the Spa, or Planet Beach may require
        that you close the Spa during such period without removing any assets. You
        are
        required to maintain in force all insurance policies required under this
        Agreement until the date of such closing.

        CHOICE OF LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

       

      26.1.
        Governing
        Law.
        This
        Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Louisiana and
        shall
        be construed according to the laws of Louisiana without regard to its conflict
        of laws, LCC Arts. 3515 et seq., and any amendments and/or revisions thereto.
        

       

      26.2.
        Internal
        Dispute Resolution.
        You
        must first bring any claim or dispute between you and Planet Beach to Planet
        Beach's Director of Franchise Relations. If your territory has an Area
        Representative, you must first bring any such claim or dispute to the Area
        Representative prior to bringing it before the Director of Franchise Relations.
        If Planet Beach's Director of Franchise Relations is unable to resolve the
        dispute, the dispute shall be referred to Planet Beach's Ombudsman. You must
        exhaust these internal dispute resolution procedures before you may bring
        your
        dispute before a third-party. 

       

      26.3.
        Mediation.
        At
        Planet Beach's option, all claims or disputes between you and Planet Beach
        or
        its affiliates arising out of, or in any way relating to, this Agreement,
        or any
        of the parties' respective rights and obligations arising out of this agreement,
        shall be submitted first to mediation, in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana under
        the
        auspices of the National Franchise Mediation Program ("NFMP"), in accordance
        with the NFMP's Commercial Mediation Rules then in effect. Before commencing
        any
        legal action against Planet Beach or its affiliates with respect to any such
        claim or dispute, you must submit a notice to Planet Beach, which specifies,
        in
        detail, the precise nature and grounds of such claim or dispute. Planet Beach
        will have a period of 30 days following receipt of such notice within which
        to
        notify you as to whether Planet Beach or its affiliates elects to exercise
        its
        option to submit such claim or dispute to mediation. You may not commence
        any
        action against Planet Beach or its affiliates with respect to any such claim
        or
        dispute in any court unless Planet Beach fails to exercise its option to
        submit
        such claim or dispute to mediation, or such mediation proceedings have been
        terminated either: (i) as the result of a written declaration of the mediator(s)
        that further mediation efforts are not worthwhile; or (ii) as a result of
        a
        written declaration by Planet Beach. The parties shall each bear their own
        costs
        of mediation and shall share equally the filing fee imposed by NFMP and the
        mediator’s fees. Planet Beach’s rights to mediation, as set forth herein, may be
        specifically enforced by Planet Beach. 

       

      26.4.
        Arbitration.
        All
        disputes and claims relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered
        into between the parties, the rights and obligations of the parties, or any
        other claims or causes of action relating to the making, interpretation,
        or
        performance of either party under this Agreement, shall be settled by
        arbitration in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana in accordance with the Federal
        Arbitration Act and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
        Association ("AAA"). Any arbitration proceeding, or any claim in arbitration
        (including any defense and any claim of setoff or recoupment), must be brought
        or asserted before the expiration of the earlier of (1) the time period for
        bringing an action under any applicable state or federal statute of limitation;
        (2) 1 year after the date upon which a party discovered or should have
        discovered, the facts giving rise to an alleged claim; or (3) 2 years after
        the
        first act or omission giving rise to an alleged claim. Claims of Planet Beach
        attributable to the underreporting of sales and claims of the parties for
        indemnification shall be subject only to the applicable state or federal
        statute
        of limitation.

      The
        right
        and duty of the parties to this Agreement to resolve any disputes by arbitration
        shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, as amended. The following
        shall supplement and, in the event of a conflict, shall govern any arbitration:
        If the claim is for less than $35,000 than the matter shall be heard before
        a
        single arbitrator. If the claim, or a counterclaim, is for $35,000 or more,
        the
        matter may be heard before a panel of three (3) arbitrators if both parties
        agree and each party shall appoint its own arbitrator, and the appointed
        arbitrators shall appoint a “neutral” arbitrator from the AAA’s list of
        arbitrators. If the parties do not agree the matter shall be heard before
        a
        single arbitrator. Arbitrability will be decided by the arbitrator. Neither
        party shall pursue class claims and/or consolidate the arbitration with any
        other proceeding to which the franchisor is a party. Each party must bear
        its
        own costs of arbitration including the fee for their respective arbitrator;
        provided, however, that the neutral or the single arbitrator's fee shall
        be
        shared equally by Planet Beach and you. 

       

      The
        arbitrator's award shall include all fees, costs and attorneys' fees for
        the
        prevailing party. The arbitrators shall have no authority to amend or modify
        the
        terms of the Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no issue
        of
        fact or law shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any
        arbitration, except to the extent such issue may have been determined in
        another
        proceeding between the parties. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator
        shall
        be submitted for confirmation to the United States District for the Eastern
        District of Louisiana and, if confirmed, may be subsequently entered in any
        court having competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive
        any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

       

      26.5.

        attachment, temporary injunction, preliminary injunction and/or other emergency
        relief available to safeguard and protect the parties’ interest prior to the
        filing of any arbitration proceeding or pending the trial or handing down
        of a
        decision or award pursuant to any arbitration proceeding conducted hereunder.
        

       

      26.7.

        arbitration, the parties agree that any action at law or in equity instituted
        against either party to this Agreement shall be commenced only in the 24th

        Jury
        Trial Waiver.
        With
        respect to any proceeding not subject to arbitration, the parties hereby
        agree
        to waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim, whether
        at law
        or equity, regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver shall apply
        to any
        matter whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises out of or is related
        in any way to this Agreement, the performance of either party, and/or your
        purchase from Planet Beach of the franchise and/or any goods or services.
        

       

      26.9.
        Waiver
        of Punitive Damages.
        You
        waive to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to or claim for any
        punitive, exemplary, incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages
        (including, without limitation, lost profits) which you may have against
        Planet
        Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns, arising out of any cause
        whatsoever (whether such cause be based in contract, negligence, strict
        liability, other tort or otherwise) and agree that in the event of a dispute,
        recovery shall be limited to actual damages. If any other term of this Agreement
        is found or determined to be unconscionable or unenforceable for any reason,
        the
        foregoing provisions shall continue in full force and effect, including,
        without
        limitation, the waiver of any right to claim any consequential damages.

       

      26.10.
        Class Action Waiver. You hereby agree to waive any class action proceeding
        or
        counterclaim against Planet Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns,
        whether at law or equity, regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver
        shall apply to any matter whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises
        out
        of or is related in any way to this Agreement, the performance of either
        party,
        and/or your purchase from Planet Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns
        of
        the franchise and/or any goods or services. 

       

      26.11.
        Attorneys’
        Fees.
        If
        either party institutes any judicial or arbitration proceeding to enforce
        any
        monetary or non-monetary obligations or interpret the terms of this Agreement
        and Planet Beach prevails in the action or proceeding, you shall be liable
        to
        Planet Beach for all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in
        connection with such proceeding. 

       

      1 Nonwaiver.
        Planet
        Beach’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this
        Agreement shall not be a waiver of Planet Beach's right to do so, any law,
        custom, usage or rule to the contrary notwithstanding. Delay or omission
        by
        Planet Beach respecting any breach or default shall not affect Planet Beach's
        rights respecting any subsequent breaches or defaults. All rights and remedies
        granted in this Agreement shall be cumulative. Planet Beach's election to
        exercise any remedy available by law or contract shall not be deemed a waiver
        or
        preclude exercise of any other remedy.

      27.1.
        Entire
        Agreement.
        This
        Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties concerning the
        franchisee's franchise; no promises, inducements or representations not
        contained in this Agreement have been made, nor shall any be of any force
        or
        effect, or binding on the parties. Modifications of this Agreement must be
        in
        writing and signed by both parties. Planet Beach reserves the right to change
        Planet Beach's policies, procedures, standards, specifications or manuals
        at
        Planet Beach's discretion. 

       

      27.2.
        Survival.
        Any
        provisions of this Agreement which may be reasonably interpreted to impose
        any
        obligation after termination or expiration hereof shall survive such termination
        or expiration and be binding upon the parties.

      27.3.
        Severability.
        The
        parties agree that if any provisions of this Agreement may be construed in
        two
        ways, one of which would render the provision illegal or otherwise voidable
        or
        unenforceable and the other which would render it valid and enforceable,
        such
        provision shall have the meaning, which renders it valid and enforceable.
        The
        language of all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according
        to
        fair meaning and not strictly construed against either party. The provisions
        of
        this Agreement are severable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and
        enforced as if all completely invalid or unenforceable provisions were not
        contained herein, and partially valid and enforceable provisions shall be
        enforced to the extent that they are valid and enforceable. If any material
        provision of this Agreement shall be stricken or declared invalid, the parties
        agree to negotiate mutually acceptable substitute provisions. In the event
        that
        the parties are unable to agree upon such provisions, Planet Beach reserves
        the
        right to terminate this Agreement. 

       

      27.4.
        Construction. The terms "franchisee" and "you" shall be construed to refer
        to
        the male or female gender in all cases where the franchisee is an individual,
        masculine or feminine modifiers and pronouns notwithstanding. The term
        "Franchisee" and "you" include all persons or entities identified as
“franchisee” in the Data Sheet. The term “principals” shall include your general
        and limited partners, if you are a partnership, your officers, directors
        and
        shareholders, if you are a corporation, and your members and managers, if
        you
        are a limited liability company. The paragraph captions are inserted only
        for
        convenience and reference, and are not intended to define, limit or describe
        the
        scope, intent or language of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

       

      27.5.
        Binding
        Agreement.
        This
        Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their heirs, executors, personal
        representatives, successors and assigns. All franchisee signatories to this
        Agreement and all partners of a partnership franchisee, all officers, directors
        and shareholders of a corporate franchisee, and all members and managers
        of a

        for
        the performance of all terms, covenants and conditions hereof.

        corporate franchisee, or members and managers in a limited liability company
        franchisee are obligated to execute a Guaranty Agreement in which each agrees
        to
        personally abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
        guarantees to Planet Beach your performance of this Agreement and your financial
        obligations. Unless all such partners, shareholders, or members and managers
        execute such Guaranty Agreement concurrently herewith, this Agreement shall,
        at
        Planet Beach's option, become null and void and confer no rights upon you
        nor
        any partner, shareholder, member or manager. All guarantors shall be jointly
        and
        severally liable for the performance of all of the terms, covenants and
        conditions hereof. If you are an individual(s), or subsequent to execution
        hereof, you assign this Agreement to an individual(s), such individual's
        spouse
        hereby personally and unconditionally guarantees without notice, demand or
        presentment the payment of all of your monetary obligations under this Agreement
        as if each were an original party to this Agreement in his or her individual
        capacity. All such spouses further agree to be bound by the restrictions
        upon
        your activities upon transfer, termination or expiration of this Agreement
        as if
        each were an original party to this Agreement in his or her individual capacity.
        All such spouses shall execute the Guaranty Agreement in the form attached
        as
        Exhibit C to this Agreement.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENT
        BY GUARANTOR 

       

      WHEREAS,
        a Guaranty Agreement dated ____ ______, is being entered into between Planet
        Beach Franchising Corporation and ______ 

      ______
        (“Guarantor”), whereunder Guarantor has guaranteed the obligations of a
        corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company franchisee to
        Planet
        Beach Franchising Corporation, or is the spouse of an individual franchisee
        of
        Planet Beach Franchising Corporation, and 

       

      WHEREAS,
        Planet Beach Franchising Corporation and Guarantor desire to clarify the
        relationship between them. 

       

      NOW,
        THEREFORE, Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has conducted an independent
        investigation of the Planet Beach Franchising Corporation franchise program
        and
        recognizes that the business venture contemplated by the franchisee involves
        business risk and success will be largely dependent upon the ability of the
        franchisee, Guarantor and other persons with an interest in the franchise
        as
        independent business persons. Planet Beach Franchising Corporation expressly
        disclaims the making of, and Guarantor acknowledges not receiving, any guaranty
        or warranty, express or implied, nor any representation as to the potential
        volume, profits or success of the business venture contemplated by the Franchise
        Agreement. Guarantor further represents that Guarantor is not a party to
        any
        agreement which might interfere with the performance required of persons
        with an
        interest in the franchise under the Planet Beach Franchising Corporation's
        Single Unit Franchise Agreement, and that entering into such agreement shall
        not
        in any way interfere with or constitute a breach of any prior existing contract
        to which Guarantor is a party.

      RIDER
        TO LEASE 

       

      THIS
        RIDER TO LEASE made this ____ day of ___________________20___, by and between
        __________________________________________________________, with principle
        offices at____________________________________________________ (hereinafter
        “Landlord”): and _______________________________________________, with principle
        offices at ____________________________________________________ (hereinafter
        “Tenant”); and Planet Beach Franchising Corporation, a Louisiana Corporation,
        with its principal address at 5161 Taravella Road, Marrero, Louisiana 70072
        (hereinafter “Franchisor”). 

       

      This
        Rider supplements and forms a part of that certain lease between Landlord
        and
        Tenant, dated ______________________________, 20____, (the “Lease”) for leased
        premises located at ________________________________________________________
        (the “Premises”). This Rider is entered into in connection with Franchisor’s
        grant of a franchise to Tenant to operate a franchised business at the Premises.
        It is intended to provide Franchisor the opportunity to preserve the Premises
        as
        a tanning Spa operated under Franchisor’s brand in the event of any termination
        of the lease or any franchise agreement between Franchisor and Tenant, and
        to
        assure Landlord that, if Franchisor exercises the option to assume the Lease
        as
        provided in this Rider to Lease, any defaults of Tenant under the Lease will
        be
        cured by Franchisor before it takes possession of the Premises. Landlord
        agrees
        that Franchisor will have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the Lease
        of the Premises attached hereto as Exhibit A, on the terms, covenants and
        conditions hereinafter set forth. 

       

      I.
        DEFAULT BY TENANT UNDER THE LEASE 

       

      1.0
        Landlord will send Franchisor copies of all notices of default it gives to
        Tenant at the same time it gives such notices to Tenant. If Tenant fails
        to cure
        any default within the period specified in the Lease, Landlord will promptly
        give written notice to Franchisor, specifying the default Tenant has failed
        to
        cure. Franchisor will have the right and option to assume the Lease by giving
        written notice to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date
        of
        receipt of Landlord’s notice that Tenant has failed to cure a default under the
        Lease. 

       

      1.1
        Landlord will deliver possession of the Premises to Franchisor promptly after
        Landlord receives Franchisor’s written notice exercising its option to assume
        the Lease. Franchisor, upon taking possession of the Premises, will cure
        the
        defaults specified by Landlord and will execute and deliver to Landlord an
        assumption of the Tenant’s rights and obligations under the Lease. 

       

      1.2
        Franchisor will not be required to cure defaults and/or begin paying rent
        until
        Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Franchisor. If it becomes
        necessary for Landlord to pursue legal action in order to evict Tenant and
        deliver possession of the Premises to Franchisor, Franchisor will, upon written
        request by Landlord, pay into an escrow account with Landlord’s attorney, such
        amounts as are necessary to cure Tenant’s defaults. If Landlord is unable to
        deliver possession of the Premises to Franchisor within nine (9) months after
        the date of Franchisor’s exercise of its option to assume the Lease, Franchisor
        will have the right, at any time until Landlord delivers possession of the
        Premises, to rescind the option exercise, by written notice to Landlord,
        whereupon all amounts in escrow shall be returned to Franchisor.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          65

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      II.
        TENANT’S FAILURE TO EXTEND TO LEASE TERM. 

       

      2.0
        If
        the Lease contains the term renewal or extension right(s) and if Tenant allows
        the term to expire without exercising said right(s), Landlord will give
        Franchisor written notice thereof, and Franchisor will have the right and
        option
        to exercise the Tenant’s renewal or extension right(s) on the same terms and
        conditions as are contained in the Lease by giving written notice to Landlord
        within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s notice. If Franchisor exercises
        such right(s) Landlord and Franchisor will promptly execute a lease assumption
        agreement that will provide for Franchisor’s assumption of the Lease effective
        at the commencement of the extension or renewal term. 

       

      III.
        TERMINATION OF A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. 

       

      3.0
        Franchisor will have the right and option to assume the Lease if any franchise
        agreement between Franchisor and Tenant is terminated for any reason during
        the
        term of the Lease. If any franchise agreement between Franchisor and Tenant
        is
        terminated and Franchisor desires to assume the Lease it may give written
        notice
        to Landlord requesting that Landlord specify any existing defaults by Tenant
        under the Lease. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, Landlord
        will give Franchisor written notice specifying any existing defaults by Tenant
        under the Lease. 

       

      3.1
        If
        any franchise agreement between Franchisor and Tenant is terminated, Tenant
        shall, within ten (10) days after written demand by Franchisor, assign all
        of
        its right, title and interest in the Lease to Franchisor. If Tenant fails
        to do
        so, Tenant hereby designates Franchisor as its agent to execute any and all
        documents, agreements and to take all action that may be necessary or desirable
        to effectuate the assignment of the Lease and the relinquishment of any and
        all
        of Tenant’s right there under. Landlord consents to such assignment, subject to
        Franchisor executing as assumption of the Lease in form reasonably satisfactory
        to Landlord and curing all defaults of Tenant under the Lease before taking
        possession of the Premises. Tenant further agrees to promptly and peaceably
        vacate the Premises and to remove its personal property at the written request
        of Franchisor. Any property not so removed by Tenant within ten (10) days
        following receipt of such written request shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant.
        

       

      3.2
        Tenant agrees that termination of any franchise agreement for the Premises
        shall, at the option of Landlord, be a default under the Lease. 

       

      IV.
        ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS 

       

      4.0
        Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all of its obligation under the
        Lease, notwithstanding any assignment of the Lease to Franchisor. Franchisor
        shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all amounts it pays to Landlord
        to cure
        Tenant’s defaults under the Lease, including interest and reasonable collection
        costs. 

       

      4.1
        Prior
        to taking possession of the Premises pursuant to its rights under this Rider
        to
        Lease, Franchisor will cure the defaults specified by Landlord and execute
        and
        deliver to Landlord an assumption of the Tenants right and obligation under
        the
        Lease. Franchisor corporation will pay, perform and be bound by all of the
        duties and obligations of the Lease applicable to Tenant, except that Franchisor
        may elect not to assume or be bound by the terms of any amendment to the
        Lease
        executed by Tenant without obtaining Franchisor’s prior written approval, which
        shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

      
        
          
          

        

        
          66

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      4.2
        After
        Franchisor assumes Tenant’s interest in the Lease, Franchisor will not be
        subject to any provision of the Lease that requires the Tenant to continuously
        operate a business in the Premises during any period that the business in
        the
        Premises is closed for remolding or while the Franchisor is seeking to obtain
        and train a new franchisee to operate a franchised business in the Premises.
        

       

      4.3
        After
        Franchisor assumes Tenant’s interests in the Lease, Franchisor may, without
        Landlord’s consent, sublet the Premises to a franchisee of Franchisor provided
        the Franchisor remains primarily liable under the Lease. 

       

      4.4
        After
        Franchisor assumes Tenant’s interest in the Lease, Franchisor may, assign this
        Lease so long as Franchisor remains liable for the payment of rent and the
        performance of Tenant’s duties and obligations under the Lease. Franchisor may
        also, with the prior written consent of Landlord, assign without recourse
        its
        rights under the Lease. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
        to
        an assignment to a franchisee of Franchisor who meets Franchisor’s financial
        qualification requirements. Upon receipt by Landlord of an assumption agreement
        in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord pursuant to which such franchisee
        agrees to assume the Lease and to observe the terms, conditions and agreements
        on the part of Tenant to be performed under the Lease, Franchisor shall be
        released from all liability as tenant under the Lease accruing after the
        date of
        the effective date of the assignment. 

       

      4.5
        If
        the Lease or Franchise Agreement for the Premises is terminated and Franchisor
        does not exercise its option to assume the Lease, Tenant agrees, upon written
        demand by Franchisor, to promptly remove signs, décor and other items which
        Franchisor reasonably requests be removed as being distinctive and indicative
        of
        Franchisor’s trademarks and trade dress. Franchisor may enter upon the Premises
        without being guilty of trespass or tort to effect such de-identification
        if
        Tenant fails to do so within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand
        from
        Franchisor. Tenant shall pay Franchisor for its reasonable cost and expenses
        in
        effecting de-identification. Franchisor shall defend, indemnify and hold
        Landlord harmless from and against any claims arising from Franchisor’s
        de-identification of the Premises. 

       

      4.6
        BY
        EXECUTING THIS RIDER TO THE LEASE, FRANCHISOR DOES NOT HEREBY ASSUME ANY
        LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES OR ANY OBLIGATION AS TENANT UNDER
        THE
        LEASE, UNLESS AND UNTIL FRANCHISOR EXPRESSLY ASSUMES SUCH LIABILITY AND/OR
        OBLIGATION, AS HEREINABOVE DESCRIBED. 

       

      4.7
        All
        notices hereunder shall be delivered by certified mail to the addresses
        described in the Lease or to such other address as any party hereto may,
        by
        written notice instruct that notices be given. In the case of Franchisor,
        notices should be sent to: Director of Real Estate, 5161 Taravella Road,
        Marrero, Louisiana, 70072, until further notice.

      CONFIDENTIALITY
        AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 

      (for
        trained employees, shareholders, officers, directors, general partners, members
        and managers of Franchisee) 

       

      In
        consideration of my being a ________________________ of
        _______________________________ (the “Franchisee”), and other good and valuable
        consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, I hereby
        acknowledge and agree that: 

       

      1.
        _________________________, doing business as ____________________ (the
“Franchisee”), has acquired the right and franchise from Planet Beach
        Franchising Corporation (the “Company”) to establish and operate a Planet Beach
        Tanning Spa (the “Spa” or “Franchised Business”) and the right to use in the
        operation of the Company’s trade names, service marks, trademarks, logos,
        emblems, and indicia of origin (the “Proprietary Marks”) and the Company’s
        unique and distinctive format and system relating to the establishment and
        operation of Planet Beach Tanning Spas (the “System’), as they may be changed,
        improved and further developed from time to time in the Company’s sole
        discretion, only at the following authorized and approved location (the
“Approved Location”): 

       

      2.
        The
        Company possesses certain proprietary and confidential information relating
        to
        the operation of the System, which includes certain proprietary methods,
        techniques, formats, specifications, systems, procedures, methods of business
        practices and management, sales and promotional techniques and knowledge
        of, and
        experience in, the operation of the Franchised Business (the “Confidential
        Information”). 

       

      3.
        Any
        and all information, knowledge, know-how, and techniques that the company
        specifically designates as confidential shall be deemed to be Confidential
        Information for purposes of this Agreement. 

       

      4.
        As
        _____________________ of the Franchisee, the Company and Franchisee will
        disclose the Confidential Information to me in furnishing to me the training
        program and subsequent ongoing training, the company’s Operations Manual (the
“Manual”) and other general assistance during the term of this Agreement.

       

      5.
        I will
        not acquire any interest in the Confidential Information, other than the
        right
        to utilize it in the operation of the Franchised Business during the term
        hereof, and the use of duplication of the Confidential Information for any
        use
        outside the System would constitute an unfair method of competition.

       

      6.
        The
        confidential Information is proprietary, involves trade secrets of the Company,
        and is disclosed to me solely on the condition that I agree, that I shall
        hold
        in strict confidence all Confidential Information and all other Information
        designated by the Company as confidential. Unless the Company otherwise agrees
        in writing, I will disclose and/or use the Confidential Information only
        in
        connection with my duties as _______________________ of the Franchisee, and
        will
        continue not to disclose any such information even after I cease to be in
        that
        position and will not use any such information even after I cease to be in
        that
        position unless I can demonstrate that such information has become generally
        known or easily accessible other than by the breach of an obligation of
        Franchisee under the Franchise Agreement. 

       

      7.
        Except
        as otherwise approved in writing by the Company, I shall not, while in my
        position with the Franchise and for a continuous uninterrupted period commencing
        upon the cessation or termination of my position with Franchisee, regardless
        of
        the cause for termination, and continuing for 2 years thereafter, either
        directly or indirectly, for myself, or through, on behalf of, or in conjunction
        with any person, persons, partnership, or corporation, own, maintain, operate,
        engage in, act as a consultant for, perform services for, or have any interest
        in any retail business selling any product or products which are the same
        as, or
        substantially similar to, any of the products or services offered by a Planet
        Beach Tanning Spa, except at a Planet Beach Tanning Spa, which is or is intended
        to be, located within: 

      
        
          
          

        

        
          69

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      7.1
        the
        Franchisee's Territory as defined in the Franchise Agreement; 

       

      7.2
        10
        miles of Franchisee’s Territory; or 

       

      7.3
        10
        miles of any Planet Beach Tanning Spa operating under the System and the
        Proprietary Marks. 

       

      This
        restriction does not apply to my ownership of less than 5% beneficial interest
        in the outstanding securities of any publicly-held corporation. 

       

      1. I
        agree
        that each of the foregoing covenant shall be constructed as independent of
        any
        other covenant or provision of this Agreement. If all or any portion of a
        covenant in this Agreement is held unreasonable or unenforceable by a court
        or
        agency having valid jurisdiction in an unappealed final decision to which
        the
        Company is a party, I expressly agree to be bound by any lesser covenant
        subsumed within the terms of such covenant that imposes the maximum duty
        by law,
        as if the resulting covenant were separately stated in and made part of this
        Agreement. 

       

      2. I
        understand and acknowledge that the Company shall have the right, in its
        sole
        discretion to reduce the scope of any covenant set forth in this Agreement,
        or
        any portion thereof, without my consent, effective immediately upon receipt
        by
        me of written notice thereof; and I agree to comply forthwith with any covenant
        as so modified. 

       

      3. The
        Company is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce it,
        solely
        and/or jointly with the Franchisee. I am aware that my violation of this
        Agreement will cause the Company and the Franchisee irreparable harm; therefore,
        I acknowledge and agree that the Franchisee and/or the Company may apply
        for the
        issuance of an injunction preventing me from violating this Agreement, and
        I
        agree to pay the Franchisee and the Company all the costs it/they incur(s),
        including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, if this Agreement
        is
        enforced against me. Due to the importance of this Agreement to the Franchisee
        and the Company, any claim I have against the Franchisee or the Company is
        separate matter and does not entitle me to violate, or justify any violation
        of
        this Agreement. 

       

      4. This
        Agreement shall be constructed under the laws of the State of Louisiana without
        regard to its conflict of laws, LCC Arts. 3515 et seq., and any amendments
        and/or revisions thereto. The only way this Agreement can be changed is in
        writing signed by both the Franchisee and me.

      Background
        

       

      A.
        Contemporaneous with the execution of this Agreement, you and Planet Beach
        have
        entered into a Single Unit Franchise Agreement (the "First Franchise Agreement")
        for the right to establish and operate a single Planet Beach Tanning Spa
        (the
        "First Spa") and paid the Initial Franchise Fee. 

       

      B.
        Planet
        Beach offers qualified franchisees the right and option to open and operate
        2, 4
        or 9 additional Planet Beach Tanning Spas (the "Additional Spas") during
        the
        term of the option period (defined below) and otherwise upon the terms and
        conditions of this Agreement. 

       

      C.
        You
        wish to purchase an option to establish and operate __ Additional Spas under
        the
        terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

       

      NOW,
        THEREFORE,

        valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
        acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

        In
        consideration of your payment to Planet Beach of a $_______ option fee (the
        "Option Fee"), which is due and payable upon your execution of this Agreement,
        Planet Beach grants you the right and option to establish and operate __
        Additional Spas under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Option
        Fee is deemed fully earned upon payment and is nonrefundable. 

       

      2. Eligibility.

        must purchase this Option when you execute the First Franchise Agreement.
        

       

      3. Option
        Period.
        You may
        not execute a lease for any Additional Spa prior to exercising your option

        the
        expiration of the option period in which you purchased. If you fail to meet
        the
        option period listed above you no longer have an option for those additional
        Spas for which you do not have opened and operating, unless you request in
        writing an extension which will be approved at Planet Beach’s sole discretion.

       

      4. Exercise
        of Option.
        In
        order to exercise your option for each Additional Spa you must satisfy
all

        the
        following conditions, upon the exercise of each option: 

      

      4.1.

        with its own Data Sheet and Approved Location and Territory Addendum, but
        without the provision of a Grand Opening Specialist, the Term of which will
        coincide with the balance of the remaining Term under the First Franchise
        Agreement;

      4.2.

        There has been no change in the effective control of you (by way of change
        in
        share ownership, membership or partnership interest, or otherwise) without
        Planet Beach’s written consent; and

      10.
        Mediation.
        At
        Planet
        Beach's option, all claims or disputes between you and Planet Beach or its
        affiliates arising out of, or in any way relating to, this Agreement, or
        any of
        the parties' respective rights and obligations arising out of this agreement,
        shall be submitted first to mediation, in the Parish of Jefferson, Louisiana,
        under the auspices of the National Franchise Mediation Program ("NFMP"),
        in
        accordance with the NFMP's Commercial Mediation Rules then in effect. Before
        commencing any legal action against Planet Beach or its affiliates with respect
        to any such claim or dispute, you must submit a notice to Planet Beach, which
        specifies, in detail, the precise nature and grounds of such claim or dispute.
        Planet Beach will have a period of 30 days following receipt of such notice
        within which to notify you as to whether Planet Beach or its affiliates elects
        to exercise its option to submit such claim or dispute to mediation. You
        may not
        commence any action against Planet Beach or its affiliates with respect to
        any
        such claim or dispute in any court unless Planet Beach fails to exercise
        its
        option to submit such claim or dispute to mediation, or such mediation
        proceedings have been terminated either: (i) as the result of a written
        declaration of the mediator(s) that further mediation efforts are not
        worthwhile; or (ii) as a result of a written declaration by Planet Beach.
        The
        parties shall each bear their own costs of mediation and shall share equally
        the
        filing fee imposed by NFMP and the mediator’s fees. Planet Beach’s rights to
        mediation, as set forth herein, may be specifically enforced by Planet Beach.

      11.
        Arbitration.
        All
        disputes and claims relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered
        into between the parties, the rights and obligations of the parties, or any
        other claims or causes of action relating to the making, interpretation,
        or
        performance of either party under this Agreement, shall be settled by
        arbitration in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana in accordance with the Federal
        Arbitration Act and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
        Association ("AAA"). The right and duty of the parties to this Agreement
        to
        resolve any disputes by arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration
        Act, as amended. The following shall supplement and, in the event of a conflict,
        shall govern any arbitration: If the claim is for less than $35,000 than
        the
        matter shall be heard before a single arbitrator. If the claim, or a
        counterclaim, is for $35,000 or more, the matter may be heard before a panel
        of
        three (3) arbitrators if both parties agree and each party shall appoint
        its own
        arbitrator, and the appointed arbitrators shall appoint a “neutral” arbitrator
        from the AAA’s list of arbitrators. If the parties do not agree the matter shall
        be heard before a single arbitrator. Arbitrability will be decided by the
        arbitrator. Neither party shall pursue class claims and/or consolidate the
        arbitration with any other proceeding to which the franchisor is a party.
        Each
        party must bear its own costs of arbitration including the fee for their
        respective arbitrator; provided, however, that the neutral or the single
        arbitrator's fee shall be shared equally by Planet Beach and you. The
        arbitrator's award shall include all fees, costs and attorneys' fees for
        the
        prevailing party. The arbitrators shall have no authority to amend or modify
        the
        terms of the Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no issue
        of
        fact or law shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any
        arbitration, except to the extent such issue may have been determined in
        another
        proceeding between the parties. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator
        shall
        be submitted for confirmation to the United States District for the Eastern
        District of Louisiana and, if confirmed, may be subsequently entered in any
        court having competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive
        any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

       

      12.
        Third
        Party Beneficiaries. Planet
        Beach’s officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and/or affiliates
        are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and the mediation
        and
        arbitration provisions contained herein, each having authority to specifically
        enforce the right to mediate and arbitrate claims asserted against such
        person(s) by you. 

       

      13.
        Injunctive
        Relief. Nothing
        contained in this Agreement herein shall prevent the parties from applying
        to or
        obtaining from any court having jurisdiction, without bond, a writ of
        attachment, temporary injunction, preliminary injunction and/or other emergency
        relief available to safeguard and protect the parties’ interest prior to the
        filing of any arbitration proceeding or pending the trial or handing down
        of a
        decision or award pursuant to any arbitration proceeding conducted hereunder.
        

       

      14.
        Jurisdiction
        and Venue. With
        respect to any proceeding not subject to arbitration, the parties agree that
        any
        action at law or in equity instituted against either party to this Agreement
        shall be commenced only in the 24th Judicial District for the Parish of
        Jefferson, Louisiana or the United States District Court for the Eastern
        District of Louisiana at Planet Beach’s discretion. 

       

      15.
        Jury
        Trial Waiver. With
        respect to any proceeding not subject to arbitration, the parties hereby
        agree
        to waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim, whether
        at law
        or equity, regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver shall apply
        to any
        matter whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises out of or is related
        in any way to this Agreement, the performance of either party, and/or your
        purchase from Planet Beach of the franchise, option and/or any goods or
        services. 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          78

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      16.
        Waiver
        of Punitive Damages. You
        waive
        to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to or claim for any punitive,
        exemplary, incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages (including,
        without limitation, lost profits) which you may have against Planet Beach,
        its
        affiliates, successors or assigns, arising out of any cause whatsoever (whether
        such cause be based in contract, negligence, strict liability, other tort
        or
        otherwise) and agree that in the event of a dispute, recovery shall be limited
        to actual damages. If any other term of this Agreement is found or determined
        to
        be unconscionable or unenforceable for any reason, the foregoing provisions
        shall continue in full force and effect, including, without limitation, the
        waiver of any right to claim any consequential damages. 

       

      17.
        Class
        Action Waiver. You
        hereby agree to waive any class action proceeding or counterclaim against
        Planet
        Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns, whether at law or equity,
        regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver shall apply to any matter
        whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises out of or is related in
        any
        way to this Agreement, the performance of either party, and/or your purchase
        from Planet Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns of the franchise
        and/or
        any goods or services. 

       

      18.
        Attorneys’
        Fees. If
        either
        party institutes any judicial or arbitration proceeding to enforce any monetary
        or non-monetary obligation or interpret the terms of this Agreement and Planet
        Beach prevails in the action or proceeding, you shall be liable to Planet
        Beach
        for all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with
        such proceeding. 

       

      19.
        Nonwaiver.
        Planet
        Beach’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this
        Agreement shall not be a waiver of Planet Beach's right to do so, any law,
        custom, usage or rule to the contrary notwithstanding. Delay or omission
        by
        Planet Beach respecting any breach or default shall not affect Planet Beach's
        rights respecting any subsequent breaches or defaults. All rights and remedies
        granted in this Agreement shall be cumulative. Planet Beach's election to
        exercise any remedy available by law or contract shall not be deemed a waiver
        or
        preclude exercise of any other remedy. 

       

      20.
        Severability.
        The
        parties agree that if any provisions of this Agreement may be construed in
        two
        ways, one of which would render the provision illegal or otherwise voidable
        or
        unenforceable and the other which would render it valid and enforceable,
        such
        provision shall have the meaning, which renders it valid and enforceable.
        The
        language of all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according
        to
        fair meaning and not strictly construed against either party. The provisions
        of
        this Agreement are severable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and
        enforced as if all completely invalid or unenforceable provisions were not
        contained herein, and partially valid and enforceable provisions shall be
        enforced to the extent that they are valid and enforceable. If any material
        provision of this Agreement shall be stricken or declared invalid, the parties
        agree to negotiate mutually acceptable substitute provisions. In the event
        that
        the parties are unable to agree upon such provisions, Planet Beach reserves
        the
        right to terminate this Agreement. 

       

      21.
        Construction
        of Language. Any
        term
        defined in the First Franchise Agreement which is not defined in this Agreement
        will be ascribed the meaning given to it in the First Franchise Agreement.
        The
        language of this Agreement will be construed according to its fair meaning,
        and
        not strictly for or against either party. All words in this Agreement refer
        to
        whatever number or gender the context requires. If more than one party or
        person
        is referred to as you, their obligations and liabilities must be joint and
        several. Headings are for reference purposes and do not control interpretation.

      22.
        Successors.
        References to "Planet Beach" or "you" include the respective parties'
        successors, assigns or transferees, subject to the limitations of Paragraph
        5 of
        this Agreement. 

       

      23.
        Additional
        Documentation. You
        must
        from time to time, subsequent to the date first set forth above, at Planet
        Beach’s request and without further consideration, execute and deliver such
        other documentation or agreement and take such other action as Planet Beach
        may
        reasonably require in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated in
        this
        Agreement. In the event that you fail to comply with the provisions of this
        Section, you hereby appoint Planet Beach as your attorney-in-fact to execute
        any
        and all documents on your behalf, reasonably necessary to effectuate the
        transactions contemplated herein. 

       

      24.
        No
        Right to Offset. You
        may
        not withhold all or any part of any payment to Planet Beach or any of its
        affiliates on the grounds of the alleged nonperformance of Planet Beach or
        any
        of its affiliates or as an offset against any amount Planet Beach or any
        of its
        affiliates may owe or allegedly owe you under this Agreement or any related
        agreements. 

       

      25.
        State
        Law Applies. If
        any
        provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to its provisions
        for
        transfer, renewal, termination, notice of termination, or cure rights, is
        inconsistent with any valid law or regulation of the state in which your
        Spa is
        located, then the valid law or regulation of that state applicable to the
        franchised business will supersede any provision of this Agreement that is
        less
        favorable to you. 

       

      26.
        Entire
        Agreement.
        This
        Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties concerning the
        purchase and operation of additional Spas; no promises, inducements or
        representations (other than those in the Offering Circular) not contained
        in
        this Agreement have been made, nor shall any be of any force or effect, or
        binding on the parties. Modifications of this Agreement must be in writing
        and
        signed by both parties. Planet Beach reserves the right to change Planet
        Beach's
        policies, procedures, standards, specifications or manuals at Planet Beach's
        discretion. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Additional
        Franchise Agreement(s), the terms, conditions and intent of this Agreement
        shall
        control.

        THEREFORE, Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has conducted an independent
        investigation of the Planet Beach Franchising Corporation area representative
        program and recognizes that the business venture contemplated by the area
        representative involves business risk and success will be largely dependent
        upon
        the ability of the area representative, Guarantor and other persons with
        an
        interest in the area representative opportunity as independent business persons.
        Planet Beach Franchising Corporation expressly disclaims the making of, and
        Guarantor acknowledges not receiving, any guaranty or warranty, express or
        implied, nor any representation as to the potential volume, profits or success
        of the business venture contemplated by the Area Representative Agreement.
        Guarantor further represents that Guarantor is not a party to any agreement
        which might interfere with the performance required of persons with an interest
        in the area representative opportunity under the Planet Beach Franchising
        Corporation's Area Representative Agreement, and that entering into such
        agreement shall not in any way interfere with or constitute a breach of any
        prior existing contract to which Guarantor is a party.

      1.
        _________________________, doing business as ____________________ (the “Area
        Representative”), has acquired the right from Planet Beach Franchising
        Corporation (the “Company”) to recruit and support prospective franchisees
        (“Area Representative Opportunity”) and the right to use in the operation of the
        Company’s trade names, service marks, trademarks, logos, emblems, and indicia of
        origin (the “Proprietary Marks”) and the Company’s unique and distinctive format
        and system relating to the establishment and operation of Planet Beach Tanning
        Spas (the “System’), as they may be changed, improved and further developed from
        time to time in the Company’s sole discretion, only at the following authorized
        and approved territory (the “Approved Territory”): 

       

      2.
        The
        Company possesses certain proprietary and confidential information relating
        to
        the operation of the System, which includes certain proprietary methods,
        techniques, formats, specifications, systems, procedures, methods of business
        practices and management, sales and promotional techniques and knowledge
        of, and
        experience in, the operation of the Franchised Business (the “Confidential
        Information”). 

       

      3.
        Any
        and all information, knowledge, know-how, and techniques that the company
        specifically designates as confidential shall be deemed to be Confidential
        Information for purposes of this Agreement. 

       

      4.
        As
        _____________________ of the Area Representative, the Company and Area
        Representative will disclose the Confidential Information to me in furnishing
        to
        me the training program and subsequent ongoing training, the company’s
        Operations Manual (the “Manual”) and other general assistance during the term of
        this Agreement. 

       

      5.
        I will
        not acquire any interest in the Confidential Information, other than the
        right
        to utilize it in the operation of the Area Representative Opportunity during
        the
        term hereof, and the use of duplication of the Confidential Information for
        any
        use outside the System would constitute an unfair method of competition.
        

       

      6.
        The
        confidential Information is proprietary, involves trade secrets of the Company,
        and is disclosed to me solely on the condition that I agree, that I shall
        hold
        in strict confidence all Confidential Information and all other Information
        designated by the Company as confidential. Unless the Company otherwise agrees
        in writing, I will disclose and/or use the Confidential Information only
        in
        connection with my duties as _______________________ of the Area Representative,
        and will continue not to disclose any such information even after I cease
        to be
        in that position and will not use any such information even after I cease
        to be
        in that position unless I can demonstrate that such information has become
        generally known or easily accessible other than by the breach of an obligation
        of Area Representative under the Area Representative Agreement. 

       

      7.
        Except
        as otherwise approved in writing by the Company, I shall not, while in my
        position with the Area Representative and for a continuous uninterrupted
        period
        commencing upon the cessation or termination of my position with Area
        Representative, regardless of the cause for termination, and continuing for
        2
        years thereafter, either directly or indirectly, for myself, or through,
        on
        behalf of, or in conjunction with any person, persons, partnership, or
        corporation, own, maintain, operate, engage in, act as a consultant for,
        perform
        services for, or have any interest in any retail business selling any product
        or
        products which are the same as, or substantially similar to, any of the products
        or services offered by a Planet Beach Tanning Spa, except at a Planet Beach
        Tanning Spa, which is or is intended to be, located within: 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          86

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      7.1
        the
        Area Representative 's Territory as defined in the Area Representative
        Agreement; 

       

      7.2
        10
        miles of Area Representative’s Territory; or 

       

      7.3
        10
        miles of any Planet Beach Tanning Spa operating under the System and the
        Proprietary Marks. 

       

      This
        restriction does not apply to my ownership of less than 5% beneficial interest
        in the outstanding securities of any publicly-held corporation. 

       

      1. I
        agree
        that each of the foregoing covenant shall be constructed as independent of
        any
        other covenant or provision of this Agreement. If all or any portion of a
        covenant in this Agreement is held unreasonable or unenforceable by a court
        or
        agency having valid jurisdiction in an unappealed final decision to which
        the
        Company is a party, I expressly agree to be bound by any lesser covenant
        subsumed within the terms of such covenant that imposes the maximum duty
        by law,
        as if the resulting covenant were separately stated in and made part of this
        Agreement. 

       

      2. I
        understand and acknowledge that the Company shall have the right, in its
        sole
        discretion to reduce the scope of any covenant set forth in this Agreement,
        or
        any portion thereof, without my consent, effective immediately upon receipt
        by
        me of written notice thereof; and I agree to comply forthwith with any covenant
        as so modified. 

       

      3. The
        Company is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce it,
        solely
        and/or jointly with the Area Representative. I am aware that my violation
        of
        this Agreement will cause the Company and the Area Representative irreparable
        harm; therefore, I acknowledge and agree that the Franchisee and/or the Company
        may apply for the issuance of an injunction preventing me from violating
        this
        Agreement, and I agree to remit the Area Representative and the Company all
        the
        costs it/they incur(s), including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses,
        if this Agreement is enforced against me. Due to the importance of this
        Agreement to the Area Representative and the Company, any claim I have against
        the Area Representative or the Company is separate matter and does not entitle
        me to violate, or justify any violation of this Agreement. 

       

      4. This
        Agreement shall be constructed under the laws of the State of Louisiana without
        regard to its conflict of laws, LCC Arts. 3515 et seq., and any amendments
        and/or revisions
        thereto. The only way this Agreement can be changed is in writing signed
        by both
        the Franchisee and me.

    PLANET
      BEACH FRANCHISING CORPORATION SINGLE UNIT FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

     

    THIS
      FRANCHISE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the Effective Date set
      forth
      on the Data Sheet of this Agreement between Planet Beach Franchising
      Corporation, a Louisiana corporation with an address at 5161 Taravella Road,
      Marrero, Louisiana 70072 ("Planet Beach"), and the Franchisee identified in
      the
      Data Sheet ("you"). The information contained in the Data Sheet is incorporated
      into this Agreement. 

     

    BACKGROUND
      

     

    A.
      Through the expenditure of money, time and effort, Planet Beach has developed
      a
      distinct and proprietary method business format for the operation of tanning
      spas (the “System”), the distinguishing characteristics of which include
      proprietary operating procedures and standards and specifications for products
      and services, as amended from time to time in Planet Beach’s sole discretion.

     

    B.
      The
      System is identified by proprietary trademarks, service marks, trade dress,
      logos and other indicia of origin including, without limitation, the trade
      name
      and service mark “Planet Beach Tanning Spa” (the "Proprietary Marks”).

     

    C.
      Planet
      Beach offers franchises to qualified individuals for the right to use the System
      and Proprietary Marks at a single approved location (the “Spa”). 

     

    D.
      You
      have applied to Planet Beach for the right to operate a Spa pursuant to the
      terms of this Agreement, and Planet Beach has approved your application in
      reliance upon all of the representations made in your application, including
      those concerning your financial resources, your business experience and
      interests, and the manner in which the franchise will be owned and operated.
      

     

    E.
      You
      acknowledge that you have read this Agreement and Planet Beach's Uniform
      Franchise Offering Circular, and that you have been given an opportunity to
      obtain clarification of any provision that you did not understand. You also
      understand and agree that the terms and conditions in this Agreement are
      necessary to maintain Planet Beach's high standards of quality and service,
      and
      the uniformity of those standards at all Planet Beach Tanning Spas.

     

    AGREEMENT
      

     

    NOW
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for
      other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
      is
      hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, mutually
      agree as follows: 

     

    1.
      FRANCHISE GRANT 

     

    Planet
      Beach grants to you, and you hereby accept, a nonexclusive franchise to
      establish and operate one Spa pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. This
      Agreement does not give you the right to establish additional Spas.

     

    2.
      LOCATION 

     

    2.1.
      Approved
      Location.
      You
      shall operate your Spa only from the Approved Location identified in, or (if
      the
      parties have not agreed upon a location at the time this Agreement is signed)
      to
      be identified, in the Data Sheet. You may not offer or sell any products or
      services offered by the Spa at or from any location other than the Approved
      Location. You may not conduct any other business from the Approved Location.
      

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2.2.
      Site
      Selection. If you do not execute a Preliminary Deposit Agreement, then you
      must
      obtain a site for the Spa within 120 days from the Effective Date set forth
      on
      the Data Sheet (“Site Selection Period”) either by (i) entering into a lease or
      sublease with the owner of a site or the prime tenant having possession of
      a
      site which is mutually acceptable to you and Planet Beach; or (ii) purchasing
      real estate which is mutually acceptable to you and Planet Beach. Prior to
      the
      expiration of the Site Selection Period, upon your written request, Planet
      Beach, in Planet Beach’s sole and absolute discretion, may elect to extend the
      Site Selection Period. Upon location of a proposed site, you must provide Planet
      Beach such site information as Planet Beach may reasonably request to evaluate
      the proposed site for compliance with Planet Beach’s then-current site selection
      criteria. Planet Beach will notify you of its acceptance or rejection of the
      proposed site within 30 days after receiving all requested information. Planet
      Beach’s acceptance of a site does not constitute any representation or guarantee
      concerning the site’s viability or success. You are solely responsible for
      selecting a site for the operation of your Spa. 

     

    2.3.
      Lease.
      If you
      do not execute a Preliminary Deposit Agreement, then the following must occur:
      If you elect to lease premises for your Spa, you must submit a copy of your
      proposed lease for Planet Beach’s approval prior to execution. Planet Beach will
      notify you of its approval or disapproval within 30 days from its receipt of
      the
      proposed lease. Planet Beach has the right to condition its approval of the
      lease on, among other things, the landlord’s execution of the Rider to Lease
      attached as Exhibit D to this Agreement. Your lease must provide that all signs
      erected at or installed upon the leased premises shall be deemed not to be
      fixtures, shall not become a part of the leased premises, and may be removed
      upon expiration or termination of this Agreement. You must obtain a waiver
      of
      any lien or right of lien on signs to secure payment for any obligation due
      to
      the landlord under the lease. You must deliver an executed copy of the lease
      to
      Planet Beach within 15 days after the execution of the lease. Planet Beach's
      acceptance of the lease terms does not constitute an expression of Planet
      Beach's opinion regarding the terms of the lease or the viability of the
      location. 

     

    1 Relocation.
      Planet
      Beach will permit you to relocate your Spa to a new approved location within
      the
      Territory, at your expense, if you lose the right to possess the premises
      through no fault of your own, or if the Spa is destroyed by vandalism, fire
      or
      act of God. Planet Beach will approve the new site if it meets Planet Beach’s
      site selection criteria. You have no right to relocate the Spa without Planet
      Beach's prior written consent. 

     

    2 TERRITORY
      

    

    3.1.
      Territory.
      During
      the term of this Agreement, so long as you are in substantial compliance with
      the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Planet Beach will not establish
      or
      locate, or grant any third party the right to establish or locate, another
      Planet Beach Tanning Spa using the System and Proprietary Marks within the
      Territory identified, or to be identified, in the Data Sheet, except as set
      forth in paragraph 3.2 below. This Agreement does not grant you any other
      territorial rights. 

     

    3.2.
      Reservation
      of Rights.
      Planet
      Beach retains the right, among others, to: (i) establish and grant others the
      right to establish Planet Beach Tanning Spas outside the Territory; and (ii)
      use
      the Proprietary Marks in alternative forms of distribution for selling its
      products including, but not limited to, tanning beds, lotions and other
      products. Such forms of distribution include, without limitation, offering
      Planet Beach products within health clubs, beauty salons, spas, stores,
      boutiques and other locations, as well as through fixed stores, the internet
      and
      mail order sales.

              You

      MARKETING 

     

    15.1.
      Generally.
      You
      must participate in all marketing programs required by Planet Beach in writing
      or contained in the Operations Manual. You may place or display at your Spa
      (interior and exterior) only the signs, emblems, lettering, logos and displays
      and marketing materials as Planet Beach approves in writing from time to time.
      You must submit to Planet Beach, at least 10 days prior to your use, samples
      of
      all sales promotional and marketing materials you desire to use for approval.
      Planet Beach's failure to approve or disapprove the materials within 10 days
      of
      receipt will be deemed a disapproval. You may not use any marketing or
      promotional materials for which Planet Beach has not given its prior written
      approval. 

     

    15.2.
      Territorial
      Marketing Restriction.
      You are
      not permitted to solicit customers and/or market outside your Territory, except
      to the extent that you have received Planet Beach's prior written authorization,
      which Planet Beach will not unreasonably withhold. Planet Beach may condition
      its authorization upon your agreement to offer System franchisees who are
      operating Spas in contiguous territories the opportunity to participate in,
      and
      share the expense of, such solicitation and/or marketing. You may not market
      your Spa or any products or services offered by the Spa via the Internet without
      Planet Beach’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Planet
      Beach’s sole discretion. 

     

    15.3.
      Marketing
      Fund.
      Planet
      Beach has established a national marketing fund ("National Fund") and may,
      in
      its discretion, establish local marketing cooperatives for the common benefit
      of
      Planet Beach's franchisees. 

     

    15..3.1
      National
      Fund.
      Planet
      Beach requires you to participate in and contribute monthly to the National
      Fund
      a minimum of 1%, not to exceed 2%, of your Gross Sales ("Monthly Marketing
      Fee"). The Monthly Marketing Fee shall be paid, through the AUTODRAFT system
      on
      the 5th day of each month. In the event that any payments are due on a national
      holiday, payment will be due on the first business day following such holiday.
      Planet Beach will use National Fund contributions, in its sole discretion,
      to
      develop, produce and distribute national, regional and/or local marketing and
      to
      create marketing materials and public relations, which promote, in Planet
      Beach's sole judgment, the products and services offered by Planet Beach Tanning
      Spas. Planet Beach has the sole right to determine contributions and
      expenditures from the National Fund and sole authority to determine, without
      limitation, the selection of the marketing materials and programs; provided,
      however, that Planet Beach will make a good faith effort to expend National
      Fund
      contributions in the general best interests of the System. Nevertheless, you
      acknowledge that not all Planet Beach franchisees will benefit directly or
      on a
      pro rata basis from such expenditures. While Planet Beach does not anticipate
      that any part of the National Fund contributions will be used for marketing
      which is principally a solicitation for franchisees, Planet Beach reserves
      the
      right to include a notation in any advertisement indicating "Franchises
      Available" or “For Franchise Information Call.” Planet Beach has the right to
      reimburse itself from the National Fund contributions for such reasonable costs
      and overhead, if any, as Planet Beach may incur in activities reasonably related
      to the direction and implementation of the National Fund. At your request,
      Planet Beach will provide you with an unaudited accounting of National Fund
      expenditures on an annual basis. 

     

    15.3.2.
      Local
      Cooperatives.
      Planet
      Beach has the right, in our discretion, to designate any geographical area
      for
      purposes of establishing a regional marketing and promotional cooperative
      (“Cooperative”), and to determine whether you must participate in a Cooperative.
      If a Planet
      Beach Franchising Corporation Single Unit Franchise Agreement 3/07 15
      Franchisee’s
      Initials Cooperative
      has been established applicable to the Spa at the time you begin operating
      under
      this Agreement, you must immediately become a member of such Cooperative. If
      a
      Cooperative applicable to the Spa is established at any later time during the
      term of this Agreement, you must become a member of such Cooperative no later
      than 30 days after the date on which the Cooperative begins operation. Planet
      Beach has the right to change, combine or dissolve cooperatives. If the Spa
      is
      within the territory of more than one Cooperative, you are required to be a
      member of only one such Cooperative. The following provisions will apply to
      each
      Cooperative:

                commence operation on a date, approved in advance by Planet Beach;

                standardized marketing materials for use by the members in local
                marketing;

              No
                promotional or advertising plans or materials may be used by a Cooperative
                or furnished to its members without our prior written approval. All
                such
                plans and materials shall be submitted to Planet Beach in accordance
                with
                the procedure set forth in Paragraph 15.1 hereof.

      Telephone
      Directory Advertising.
      At
      Planet Beach’s request, you must advertise your Spa in the local telephone
      directory or directories covering the area from which the Spa is likely to
      draw
      customers. Such advertising must be placed in accordance with size and content
      formulas provided by Planet Beach. The amount of payments for such directory
      advertising may be included to meet the marketing requirements set forth in
      paragraph 15.3, above. 

     

    16.
       INSURANCE
      

    

    You
      must
      obtain and maintain at your sole expense at all times during the term of this
      Agreement such insurance coverage, as Planet Beach from time to time shall
      specify, including but not limited to, comprehensive general liability
      insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, unemployment insurance and any other
      insurance coverage required by law. Each policy shall be written by an insurance
      company acceptable to Planet Beach, and shall name Planet Beach and its
      officers, directors, agents, attorneys, employees and affiliates as additional
      insured parties. You shall promptly deliver to Planet Beach original
      certificates evidencing that all insurance required by Planet Beach is in full
      force and effect prior to opening the Spa for business. You shall deliver to
      Planet Beach each year renewal certificates. All policies must provide that
      the
      policy may not be cancelled, terminated, modified or reduced in terms of
      coverage, without 30 days prior written notice to Planet Beach. If you fail
      to
      obtain or maintain the required insurance, Planet Beach has the right, but
      is
      not obligated, to obtain and maintain such insurance coverage on your behalf
      and
      to charge you for such coverage, together with a service fee which shall not
      exceed 25% of the insurance premium. There is no assurance that minimum
      insurance requirements will be adequate to satisfy your needs.

      Planet
      Beach has the right to apply all payments as it deems appropriate in its

      annum, or the maximum allowed by law, whichever rate shall be less. Interest
      will be compounded monthly. The payment of such interest or other amounts due

      of Gross Receipts for any period or periods, you must immediately pay to Planet
      Beach all Royalty Fees and any other sums due under this Agreement, plus
      interest on these monies at the rate set forth in this Agreement. If any audit
      reveals that you have underreported any amounts by more than 2% in any period
      or
      periods, or if you fail to timely submit complete, accurate and legible reports,
      then in addition to paying all monies due, you shall reimburse Planet Beach

      additional inspections in connection with your failure to comply with this
      Agreement. In such event, Planet Beach has the right to charge you for the
      costs
      of making the additional inspections, including without limitation travel
      expenses, room and board and compensation of employees. You must promptly remedy

      or
      incapacitation of your principals or personal guarantors if you are a
      partnership, corporation or limited liability company), your legal
      representative (or your principal's or guarantor's respective legal
      representative, as applicable) shall have the right to continue the operation
      of
      the Spa under this Agreement, without payment of a transfer fee, if: (i) within
      90 days from the date of death, disability or incapacitation (the "90 day
      period"), such person has obtained Planet Beach's prior written approval; and
      (ii) such person successfully completes Planet Beach's required training
      programs (which Planet Beach will provide at its then-current tuition rate).

      this
      Agreement and are acceptable to Planet Beach. 

     

    23.5.
      Right
      of First Refusal.
      Planet
      Beach shall have the irrevocable first right and option to purchase your
      business on the same terms and conditions as any bona fide purchaser who wishes
      to become a Planet Beach franchisee. If you receive an acceptable bona fide
      offer from a third party to purchase the Spa or any or all of the Spa’s assets,
      you shall provide Planet Beach with a copy of the written purchase offer, which
      offer shall contain all of the terms of the proposed sale and the identity
      of
      the proposed purchaser. At Planet Beach’s request, the proposed purchaser shall
      promptly complete and submit to Planet Beach a franchise application and any
      other information Planet Beach deems necessary, in its discretion, to evaluate
      the proposed transferee. Planet Beach may exercise this right of first refusal
      by notifying you of Planet Beach's decision to do so in writing within 30 days
      after receipt of all items required above. Silence on Planet Beach's part shall
      constitute rejection. If Planet Beach fails to exercise this option, all
      provisions relating to assignment of this Agreement remain in full force and
      effect. The election by Planet Beach not to exercise Planet Beach's option
      as to
      any offer shall not affect Planet Beach's right of first refusal as to any
      subsequent offer. Any sale or attempted sale without first giving Planet Beach
      the right of first refusal shall be void and of no force or effect.

                or
                expiration, evidence satisfactory to Planet Beach of your compliance
                with

            	25.1.11.	
              Comply
                with all provisions of this Agreement that by their nature survive
                the
                termination or expiration of this Agreement.

            

    

     

    25.2.
      Security
      Interest in Personal Property.
      Planet
      Beach shall have a security interest in any equipment, supplies and other
      personal property on the site, if Planet Beach has not received all funds due
      and owing from you and if Planet Beach is entitled by law to possession and
      a
      lien against such property. 

     

    25.3.
      Option
      to Purchase Personal Property.
      Planet
      Beach, its affiliate or its assignee also has the option, but is not obligated,
      to purchase any personal property used in connection with operation of your
      Spa
      by providing you written notice of its election within 30 days after termination
      or expiration of this Agreement and paying you the book value for such personal
      property within 30 days of such notice. For purposes of this paragraph, “book
      value” means the amount you actually paid for the personal property less
      depreciation (calculated by using the straight-line depreciation method on
      a 10
      year depreciation schedule irrespective of the depreciation method or schedule
      you use for accounting purposes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
      that Planet Beach exercises its right to purchase any personal property that
      is
      subject to a lease or finance agreement, the purchase price of such personal
      property shall equal the amount of your remaining obligations under the lease
      or
      finance agreement, as applicable. In the event that the amounts due are in
      excess of book value, then the purchase price shall be equal to the lesser
      of
      the amount due under the lease or finance agreement or book value. Planet Beach
      shall be entitled to offset the purchase price by the amount of money owed
      by
      you to Planet Beach for any payments necessary to acquire clear title to
      property or for any other debt. If Planet Beach exercises its option to
      purchase, pending the closing of such purchase, Planet Beach has the right
      to
      appoint a manager to maintain operation of the Spa, or Planet Beach may require
      that you close the Spa during such period without removing any assets. You
      are
      required to maintain in force all insurance policies required under this
      Agreement until the date of such closing.

      CHOICE OF LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

     

    26.1.
      Governing
      Law.
      This
      Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Louisiana and shall
      be construed according to the laws of Louisiana without regard to its conflict
      of laws, LCC Arts. 3515 et seq., and any amendments and/or revisions thereto.
      

     

    26.2.
      Internal
      Dispute Resolution.
      You
      must first bring any claim or dispute between you and Planet Beach to Planet
      Beach's Director of Franchise Relations. If your territory has an Area
      Representative, you must first bring any such claim or dispute to the Area
      Representative prior to bringing it before the Director of Franchise Relations.
      If Planet Beach's Director of Franchise Relations is unable to resolve the
      dispute, the dispute shall be referred to Planet Beach's Ombudsman. You must
      exhaust these internal dispute resolution procedures before you may bring your
      dispute before a third-party. 

     

    26.3.
      Mediation.
      At
      Planet Beach's option, all claims or disputes between you and Planet Beach
      or
      its affiliates arising out of, or in any way relating to, this Agreement, or
      any
      of the parties' respective rights and obligations arising out of this agreement,
      shall be submitted first to mediation, in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana under
      the
      auspices of the National Franchise Mediation Program ("NFMP"), in accordance
      with the NFMP's Commercial Mediation Rules then in effect. Before commencing
      any
      legal action against Planet Beach or its affiliates with respect to any such
      claim or dispute, you must submit a notice to Planet Beach, which specifies,
      in
      detail, the precise nature and grounds of such claim or dispute. Planet Beach
      will have a period of 30 days following receipt of such notice within which
      to
      notify you as to whether Planet Beach or its affiliates elects to exercise
      its
      option to submit such claim or dispute to mediation. You may not commence any
      action against Planet Beach or its affiliates with respect to any such claim
      or
      dispute in any court unless Planet Beach fails to exercise its option to submit
      such claim or dispute to mediation, or such mediation proceedings have been
      terminated either: (i) as the result of a written declaration of the mediator(s)
      that further mediation efforts are not worthwhile; or (ii) as a result of a
      written declaration by Planet Beach. The parties shall each bear their own
      costs
      of mediation and shall share equally the filing fee imposed by NFMP and the
      mediator’s fees. Planet Beach’s rights to mediation, as set forth herein, may be
      specifically enforced by Planet Beach. 

     

    26.4.
      Arbitration.
      All
      disputes and claims relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered
      into between the parties, the rights and obligations of the parties, or any
      other claims or causes of action relating to the making, interpretation, or
      performance of either party under this Agreement, shall be settled by
      arbitration in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana in accordance with the Federal
      Arbitration Act and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
      Association ("AAA"). Any arbitration proceeding, or any claim in arbitration
      (including any defense and any claim of setoff or recoupment), must be brought
      or asserted before the expiration of the earlier of (1) the time period for
      bringing an action under any applicable state or federal statute of limitation;
      (2) 1 year after the date upon which a party discovered or should have
      discovered, the facts giving rise to an alleged claim; or (3) 2 years after
      the
      first act or omission giving rise to an alleged claim. Claims of Planet Beach
      attributable to the underreporting of sales and claims of the parties for
      indemnification shall be subject only to the applicable state or federal statute
      of limitation.

    The
      right
      and duty of the parties to this Agreement to resolve any disputes by arbitration
      shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, as amended. The following
      shall supplement and, in the event of a conflict, shall govern any arbitration:
      If the claim is for less than $35,000 than the matter shall be heard before
      a
      single arbitrator. If the claim, or a counterclaim, is for $35,000 or more,
      the
      matter may be heard before a panel of three (3) arbitrators if both parties
      agree and each party shall appoint its own arbitrator, and the appointed
      arbitrators shall appoint a “neutral” arbitrator from the AAA’s list of
      arbitrators. If the parties do not agree the matter shall be heard before a
      single arbitrator. Arbitrability will be decided by the arbitrator. Neither
      party shall pursue class claims and/or consolidate the arbitration with any
      other proceeding to which the franchisor is a party. Each party must bear its
      own costs of arbitration including the fee for their respective arbitrator;
      provided, however, that the neutral or the single arbitrator's fee shall be
      shared equally by Planet Beach and you. 

     

    The
      arbitrator's award shall include all fees, costs and attorneys' fees for the
      prevailing party. The arbitrators shall have no authority to amend or modify
      the
      terms of the Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no issue
      of
      fact or law shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any
      arbitration, except to the extent such issue may have been determined in another
      proceeding between the parties. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator shall
      be submitted for confirmation to the United States District for the Eastern
      District of Louisiana and, if confirmed, may be subsequently entered in any
      court having competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive
      any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

     

    26.5.
      Third
      Party Beneficiaries.
      Planet
      Beach’s officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and/or affiliates
      are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and the mediation and
      arbitration provisions contained herein, each having authority to specifically
      enforce the right to mediate and arbitrate claims asserted against such
      person(s) by you. 

     

    26.6.
      Injunctive
      Relief.
      Nothing
      contained in this Agreement herein shall prevent the parties from applying
      to or
      obtaining from any court having jurisdiction, without bond, a writ of
      attachment, temporary injunction, preliminary injunction and/or other emergency
      relief available to safeguard and protect the parties’ interest prior to the
      filing of any arbitration proceeding or pending the trial or handing down of
      a
      decision or award pursuant to any arbitration proceeding conducted hereunder.
      

     

    26.7.
      Jurisdiction and Venue. With respect to any proceeding not subject to
      arbitration, the parties agree that any action at law or in equity instituted
      against either party to this Agreement shall be commenced only in the 24th
      Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, Louisiana or the United
      States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana at Planet Beach’s
      discretion. 

     

    26.8.
      Jury
      Trial Waiver.
      With
      respect to any proceeding not subject to arbitration, the parties hereby agree
      to waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim, whether at
      law
      or equity, regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver shall apply to
      any
      matter whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises out of or is related
      in any way to this Agreement, the performance of either party, and/or your
      purchase from Planet Beach of the franchise and/or any goods or services.

    26.9.
      Waiver
      of Punitive Damages.
      You
      waive to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to or claim for any
      punitive, exemplary, incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages
      (including, without limitation, lost profits) which you the parties may have
      against Planet Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns, arising out of
      any
      cause whatsoever (whether such cause be based in contract, negligence, strict
      liability, other tort or otherwise) and agree that in the event of a dispute,
      recovery shall be limited to actual damages. If any other term of this Agreement
      is found or determined to be unconscionable or unenforceable for any reason,
      the
      foregoing provisions shall continue in full force and effect, including, without
      limitation, the waiver of any right to claim any consequential damages.

     

    26.10.
      Class Action Waiver. You hereby agree to waive any class action proceeding
      or
      counterclaim against Planet Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns,
      whether at law or equity, regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver
      shall apply to any matter whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises
      out
      of or is related in any way to this Agreement, the performance of either party,
      and/or your purchase from Planet Beach, its affiliates, successors or assigns
      of
      the franchise and/or any goods or services. 

     

    26.11.
      Attorneys’
      Fees.
      If
      either party institutes any judicial or arbitration proceeding to enforce any
      monetary or non-monetary obligations or interpret the terms of this Agreement
      and Planet Beach prevails in the action or proceeding, you shall be liable
      to
      Planet Beach for all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in
      connection with such proceeding. 

     

    1 Nonwaiver.
      Planet
      Beach’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this
      Agreement shall not be a waiver of Planet Beach's right to do so, any law,
      custom, usage or rule to the contrary notwithstanding. Delay or omission by
      Planet Beach respecting any breach or default shall not affect Planet Beach's
      rights respecting any subsequent breaches or defaults. All rights and remedies
      granted in this Agreement shall be cumulative. Planet Beach's election to
      exercise any remedy available by law or contract shall not be deemed a waiver
      or
      preclude exercise of any other remedy. 

     

    2 CONSTRUCTION
      

    

    27.1.
      Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties concerning the
      franchisee's franchise; no promises, inducements or representations not
      contained in this Agreement have been made, nor shall any be of any force or
      effect, or binding on the parties. Modifications of this Agreement must be
      in
      writing and signed by both parties. Planet Beach reserves the right to change
      Planet Beach's policies, procedures, standards, specifications or manuals at
      Planet Beach's discretion. 

     

    27.2.
      Survival.
      Any
      provisions of this Agreement which may be reasonably interpreted to impose
      any
      obligation after termination or expiration hereof shall survive such termination
      or expiration and be binding upon the parties. 

     

    27.3.
      Severability.
      The
      parties agree that if any provisions of this Agreement may be construed in
      two
      ways, one of which would render the provision illegal or otherwise voidable
      or
      unenforceable and the other which would render it valid and enforceable, such
      provision shall have the meaning, which renders it valid and enforceable. The
      language of all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to
      fair meaning and not strictly construed against either party. The provisions
      of
      this Agreement are severable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and
      enforced as if all completely invalid or unenforceable provisions were not
      contained herein, and partially valid and enforceable provisions shall be
      enforced to the extent that they are valid and enforceable. If any material
      provision of this Agreement shall be stricken or declared invalid, the parties
      agree to negotiate mutually acceptable substitute provisions. In the event
      that
      the parties are unable to agree upon such provisions, Planet Beach reserves
      the
      right to terminate this Agreement.

    27.4.
      Construction. The terms "franchisee" and "you" shall be construed to refer
      to
      the male or female gender in all cases where the franchisee is an individual,
      masculine or feminine modifiers and pronouns notwithstanding. The term
      "Franchisee" and "you" include all persons or entities identified as
“franchisee” in the Data Sheet. The term “principals” shall include your general
      and limited partners, if you are a partnership, your officers, directors and
      shareholders, if you are a corporation, and your members and managers, if you
      are a limited liability company. The paragraph captions are inserted only for
      convenience and reference, and are not intended to define, limit or describe

      Binding
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their heirs, executors, personal
      representatives, successors and assigns. All franchisee signatories to this
      Agreement and all partners of a partnership franchisee, all officers, directors
      and shareholders of a corporate franchisee, and all members and managers of
      a
      limited liability company franchisee, shall be jointly and severally liable
      for

    The
      undersigned, as a person with an interest in a Planet Beach Tanning Spa
      franchise, agrees to personally and unconditionally guarantee the obligations
      of
      Franchisee to Planet Beach Tanning Spa and shall personally be subject to and
      bound by all terms, conditions, restrictions and prohibitions contained in
      the

    ACKNOWLEDGMENT
      BY GUARANTOR 

     

    WHEREAS,
      a Guaranty Agreement dated ____ ______, is being entered into between Planet
      Beach Franchising Corporation and ____________
      (“Guarantor”), whereunder Guarantor has guaranteed the obligations of a
      corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company franchisee to Planet
      Beach Franchising Corporation, or is the spouse of an individual franchisee
      of
      Planet Beach Franchising Corporation, and 

     

    WHEREAS,
      Planet Beach Franchising Corporation and Guarantor desire to clarify the
      relationship between them. 

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has conducted an independent
      investigation of the Planet Beach Franchising Corporation franchise program
      and
      recognizes that the business venture contemplated by the franchisee involves
      business risk and success will be largely dependent upon the ability of the
      franchisee, Guarantor and other persons with an interest in the franchise as
      independent business persons. Planet Beach Franchising Corporation expressly
      disclaims the making of, and Guarantor acknowledges not receiving, any guaranty
      or warranty, express or implied, nor any representation as to the potential
      volume, profits or success of the business venture contemplated by the Franchise
      Agreement. Guarantor further represents that Guarantor is not a party to any
      agreement which might interfere with the performance required of persons with
      an
      interest in the franchise under the Planet Beach Franchising Corporation's
      Single Unit Franchise Agreement, and that entering into such agreement shall
      not
      in any way interfere with or constitute a breach of any prior existing contract
      to which Guarantor is a party.

    RIDER
      TO LEASE 

     

    THIS
      RIDER TO LEASE made this ____ day of ___________________20___, by and between
      __________________________________________________________, with principle
      offices at____________________________________________________ (hereinafter
      “Landlord”): and _______________________________________________, with principle
      offices at ____________________________________________________ (hereinafter
      “Tenant”); and Planet Beach Franchising Corporation, a Louisiana Corporation,
      with its principal address at 5161 Taravella Road, Marrero, Louisiana 70072
      (hereinafter “Franchisor”). 

     

    This
      Rider supplements and forms a part of that certain lease between Landlord and
      Tenant, dated ______________________________, 20____, (the “Lease”) for leased
      premises located at ________________________________________________________
      (the “Premises”). This Rider is entered into in connection with Franchisor’s
      grant of a franchise to Tenant to operate a franchised business at the Premises.
      It is intended to provide Franchisor the opportunity to preserve the Premises
      as
      a tanning Spa operated under Franchisor’s brand in the event of any termination
      of the lease or any franchise agreement between Franchisor and Tenant, and
      to
      assure Landlord that, if Franchisor exercises the option to assume the Lease
      as
      provided in this Rider to Lease, any defaults of Tenant under the Lease will
      be
      cured by Franchisor before it takes possession of the Premises. Landlord agrees
      that Franchisor will have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the
      Lease
      of the Premises attached hereto as Exhibit A, on the terms, covenants and
      conditions hereinafter set forth. 

    I.
      DEFAULT BY TENANT UNDER THE LEASE 

     

    1.0
      Landlord will send Franchisor copies of all notices of default it gives to
      Tenant at the same time it gives such notices to Tenant. If Tenant fails to
      cure
      any default within the period specified in the Lease, Landlord will promptly
      give written notice to Franchisor, specifying the default Tenant has failed
      to
      cure. Franchisor will have the right and option to assume the Lease by giving
      written notice to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date
      of
      receipt of Landlord’s notice that Tenant has failed to cure a default under the
      Lease. 

     

    1.1
      Landlord will deliver possession of the Premises to Franchisor promptly after
      Landlord receives Franchisor’s written notice exercising its option to assume
      the Lease. Franchisor, upon taking possession of the Premises, will cure the
      defaults specified by Landlord and will execute and deliver to Landlord an
      assumption of the Tenant’s rights and obligations under the Lease. 

     

    1.2
      Franchisor will not be required to cure defaults and/or begin paying rent until
      Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Franchisor. If it becomes
      necessary for Landlord to pursue legal action in order to evict Tenant and
      deliver possession of the Premises to Franchisor, Franchisor will, upon written
      request by Landlord, pay into an escrow account with Landlord’s attorney, such
      amounts as are necessary to cure Tenant’s defaults. If Landlord is unable to
      deliver possession of the Premises to Franchisor within nine (9) months after
      the date of Franchisor’s exercise of its option to assume the Lease, Franchisor
      will have the right, at any time until Landlord delivers possession of the
      Premises, to rescind the option exercise, by written notice to Landlord,
      whereupon all amounts in escrow shall be returned to Franchisor. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    II.
      TENANT’S FAILURE TO EXTEND TO LEASE TERM. 

     

    2.0
      If
      the Lease contains the term renewal or extension right(s) and if Tenant allows
      the term to expire without exercising said right(s), Landlord will give
      Franchisor written notice thereof, and Franchisor will have the right and option
      to exercise the Tenant’s renewal or extension right(s) on the same terms and
      conditions as are contained in the Lease by giving written notice to Landlord
      within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s notice. If Franchisor exercises
      such right(s) Landlord and Franchisor will promptly execute a lease assumption
      agreement that will provide for Franchisor’s assumption of the Lease effective
      at the commencement of the extension or renewal term. 

    III.
      TERMINATION OF A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. 

     

    3.0
      Franchisor will have the right and option to assume the Lease if any franchise
      agreement between Franchisor and Tenant is terminated for any reason during
      the
      term of the Lease. If any franchise agreement between Franchisor and Tenant
      is
      terminated and Franchisor desires to assume the Lease it may give written notice
      to Landlord requesting that Landlord specify any existing defaults by Tenant
      under the Lease. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, Landlord
      will give Franchisor written notice specifying any existing defaults by Tenant
      under the Lease. 

     

    3.1
      If
      any franchise agreement between Franchisor and Tenant is terminated, Tenant
      shall, within ten (10) days after written demand by Franchisor, assign all
      of
      its right, title and interest in the Lease to Franchisor. If Tenant fails to
      do
      so, Tenant hereby designates Franchisor as its agent to execute any and all
      documents, agreements and to take all action that may be necessary or desirable
      to effectuate the assignment of the Lease and the relinquishment of any and
      all
      of Tenant’s right there under. Landlord consents to such assignment, subject to
      Franchisor executing as assumption of the Lease in form reasonably satisfactory
      to Landlord and curing all defaults of Tenant under the Lease before taking
      possession of the Premises. Tenant further agrees to promptly and peaceably
      vacate the Premises and to remove its personal property at the written request
      of Franchisor. Any property not so removed by Tenant within ten (10) days
      following receipt of such written request shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant.
      

     

    3.2
      Tenant agrees that termination of any franchise agreement for the Premises
      shall, at the option of Landlord, be a default under the Lease.

    IV.
      ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS 

     

    4.0
      Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all of its obligation under the
      Lease, notwithstanding any assignment of the Lease to Franchisor. Franchisor
      shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all amounts it pays to Landlord to
      cure
      Tenant’s defaults under the Lease, including interest and reasonable collection
      costs. 

     

    4.1
      Prior
      to taking possession of the Premises pursuant to its rights under this Rider
      to
      Lease, Franchisor will cure the defaults specified by Landlord and execute
      and
      deliver to Landlord an assumption of the Tenants right and obligation under
      the
      Lease. Franchisor corporation will pay, perform and be bound by all of the
      duties and obligations of the Lease applicable to Tenant, except that Franchisor
      may elect not to assume or be bound by the terms of any amendment to the Lease
      executed by Tenant without obtaining Franchisor’s prior written approval, which
      shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        37

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    4.2
      After
      Franchisor assumes Tenant’s interest in the Lease, Franchisor will not be
      subject to any provision of the Lease that requires the Tenant to continuously
      operate a business in the Premises during any period that the business in the
      Premises is closed for remolding or while the Franchisor is seeking to obtain
      and train a new franchisee to operate a franchised business in the Premises.
      

     

    4.3
      After
      Franchisor assumes Tenant’s interests in the Lease, Franchisor may, without
      Landlord’s consent, sublet the Premises to a franchisee of Franchisor provided
      the Franchisor remains primarily liable under the Lease. 

     

    4.4
      After
      Franchisor assumes Tenant’s interest in the Lease, Franchisor may, assign this
      Lease so long as Franchisor remains liable for the payment of rent and the
      performance of Tenant’s duties and obligations under the Lease. Franchisor may
      also, with the prior written consent of Landlord, assign without recourse its
      rights under the Lease. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
      to
      an assignment to a franchisee of Franchisor who meets Franchisor’s financial
      qualification requirements. Upon receipt by Landlord of an assumption agreement
      in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord pursuant to which such franchisee
      agrees to assume the Lease and to observe the terms, conditions and agreements
      on the part of Tenant to be performed under the Lease, Franchisor shall be
      released from all liability as tenant under the Lease accruing after the date
      of
      the effective date of the assignment. 

     

    4.5
      If
      the Lease or Franchise Agreement for the Premises is terminated and Franchisor
      does not exercise its option to assume the Lease, Tenant agrees, upon written
      demand by Franchisor, to promptly remove signs, décor and other items which
      Franchisor reasonably requests be removed as being distinctive and indicative
      of
      Franchisor’s trademarks and trade dress. Franchisor may enter upon the Premises
      without being guilty of trespass or tort to effect such de-identification if
      Tenant fails to do so within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand
      from
      Franchisor. Tenant shall pay Franchisor for its reasonable cost and expenses
      in
      effecting de-identification. Franchisor shall defend, indemnify and hold
      Landlord harmless from and against any claims arising from Franchisor’s
      de-identification of the Premises.

      OBLIGATION, AS HEREINABOVE DESCRIBED. 

     

    4.7
      All
      notices hereunder shall be delivered by certified mail to the addresses
      described in the Lease or to such other address as any party hereto may, by
      written notice instruct that notices be given. In the case of Franchisor,
      notices should be sent to: Director of Real Estate, 5161 Taravella Road,
      Marrero, Louisiana, 70072, until further notice.

      BEACH FRANCHISING CORPORATION SINGLE UNIT FRANCHISE AGREEMENT 

     

    CONFIDENTIALITY
      AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 

    (for
      trained employees, shareholders, officers, directors, general partners, members
      and managers of Franchisee) 

     

    In
      consideration of my being a ________________________ of
      _______________________________ (the “Franchisee”), and other good and valuable
      consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, I hereby
      acknowledge and agree that: 

     

    1. _________________________,
      doing business as ____________________ (the “Franchisee”), has acquired the
      right and franchise from Planet Beach Franchising Corporation (the “Company”) to
      establish and operate a Planet Beach Tanning Spa (the “Spa” or “Franchised
      Business”) and the right to use in the operation of the Company’s trade names,
      service marks, trademarks, logos, emblems, and indicia of origin (the
“Proprietary Marks”) and the Company’s unique and distinctive format and system
      relating to the establishment and operation of Planet Beach Tanning Spas (the
      “System’), as they may be changed, improved and further developed from time to
      time in the Company’s sole discretion, only at the following authorized and
      approved location (the “Approved Location”): 

     

    2. The
      Company possesses certain proprietary and confidential information relating
      to
      the operation of the System, which includes certain proprietary methods,
      techniques, formats, specifications, systems, procedures, methods of business
      practices and management, sales and promotional techniques and knowledge of,
      and
      experience in, the operation of the Franchised Business (the “Confidential
      Information”). 

     

    3. Any
      and
      all information, knowledge, know-how, and techniques that the company
      specifically designates as confidential shall be deemed to be Confidential
      Information for purposes of this Agreement. 

     

    4. As
      _____________________ of the Franchisee, the Company and Franchisee will
      disclose the Confidential Information to me in furnishing to me the training
      program and subsequent ongoing training, the company’s Operations Manual (the
“Manual”) and other general assistance during the term of this Agreement.

     

    5. I
      will
      not acquire any interest in the Confidential Information, other than the right
      to utilize it in the operation of the Franchised Business during the term
      hereof, and the use of duplication of the Confidential Information for any
      use
      outside the System would constitute an unfair method of competition.

     

    6. The
      confidential Information is proprietary, involves trade secrets of the Company,
      and is disclosed to me solely on the condition that I agree, that I shall hold
      in strict confidence all Confidential Information and all other Information
      designated by the Company as confidential. Unless the Company otherwise agrees
      in writing, I will disclose and/or use the Confidential Information only in
      connection with my duties as _______________________ of the Franchisee, and
      will
      continue not to disclose any such information even after I cease to be in that
      position and will not use any such information even after I cease to be in
      that
      position unless I can demonstrate that such information has become generally
      known or easily accessible other than by the breach of an obligation of
      Franchisee under the Franchise Agreement. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        40

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    7.
      Except
      as otherwise approved in writing by the Company, I shall not, while in my
      position with the Franchise and for a continuous uninterrupted period commencing
      upon the cessation or termination of my position with Franchisee, regardless
      of
      the cause for termination, and continuing for 2 years thereafter, either
      directly or indirectly, for myself, or through, on behalf of, or in conjunction
      with any person, persons, partnership, or corporation, own, maintain, operate,
      engage in, act as a consultant for, perform services for, or have any interest
      in any retail business selling any product or products which are the same as,
      or
      substantially similar to, any of the products or services offered by a Planet
      Beach Tanning Spa, except at a Planet Beach Tanning Spa, which is or is intended
      to be, located within: 

     

    7.1
      the
      Franchisee's Territory as defined in the Franchise Agreement; 

     

    7.2
      10
      miles of Franchisee’s Territory; or 

     

    7.3
      10
      miles of any Planet Beach Tanning Spa operating under the System and the
      Proprietary Marks. 

     

    This
      restriction does not apply to my ownership of less than 5% beneficial interest
      in the outstanding securities of any publicly-held corporation. 

     

    1. I
      agree
      that each of the foregoing covenant shall be constructed as independent of
      any
      other covenant or provision of this Agreement. If all or any portion of a
      covenant in this Agreement is held unreasonable or unenforceable by a court
      or
      agency having valid jurisdiction in an unappealed final decision to which the
      Company is a party, I expressly agree to be bound by any lesser covenant
      subsumed within the terms of such covenant that imposes the maximum duty by
      law,
      as if the resulting covenant were separately stated in and made part of this
      Agreement. 

     

    2. I
      understand and acknowledge that the Company shall have the right, in its sole
      discretion to reduce the scope of any covenant set forth in this Agreement,
      or
      any portion thereof, without my consent, effective immediately upon receipt
      by
      me of written notice thereof; and I agree to comply forthwith with any covenant
      as so modified. 

     

    3. The
      Company is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce it, solely
      and/or jointly with the Franchisee. I am aware that my violation of this
      Agreement will cause the Company and the Franchisee irreparable harm; therefore,
      I acknowledge and agree that the Franchisee and/or the Company may apply for
      the
      issuance of an injunction preventing me from violating this Agreement, and
      I
      agree to pay the Franchisee and the Company all the costs it/they incur(s),
      including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, if this Agreement is
      enforced against me. Due to the importance of this Agreement to the Franchisee
      and the Company, any claim I have against the Franchisee or the Company is
      separate matter and does not entitle me to violate, or justify any violation
      of
      this Agreement. 

    

    11.
      This
      Agreement shall be constructed under the laws of the State of Louisiana without
      regard to its conflict of laws, LCC Arts. 3515 et seq., and any amendments
      and/or Planet
      Beach Franchising Corporation Single Unit Franchise Agreement 3/07 41
      Franchisee’s
      Initials revisions
      thereto. The only way this Agreement can be changed is in writing signed by
      both
      the Franchisee and me.
