Request to Approve Supplier. In the event the Franchisee desires to purchase or use products, services, supplies or materials from suppliers other than those previously approved by the Franchisor, the Franchisee shall, prior to purchasing from or otherwise utilizing any supplier give the Franchisor a written request to approve the supplier. In the event the Franchisor rejects the Franchisee's requested new supplier, the Franchisor must, within 60 days of the receipt of the Franchisee's request to approve the supplier notify the Franchisee in writing of its rejection. The Franchisor may continue from time to time to inspect any suppliers' facilities and products to assure compliance with the Franchisor's standards and specifications. Permission for such inspection shall be a condition of the continued approval of such supplier. The Franchisor may at its sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever, elect to withhold approval of the supplier; however, in order to make such determination, the Franchisor may require that samples from a proposed new supplier be delivered to the Franchisor for testing prior to approval and use. A charge not to exceed the actual cost of the test may be made by the Franchisor and shall be paid by the Franchisee.
