Subject to paragraphs 4.02 and 4.03 hereof, the Franchised Business shall only be operated from the Original Locations, Subdivision Sales Offices, Satellite Offices and Administrative Offices listed in Exhibit “B” and any amendments hereto (including the address and telephone number for each Original Location, Subdivision Sales Office and Satellite Office) and any Additional Locations and Additional Offices.

4.02 Permission to Close or Relocate

If Franchisee desires to close or relocate one or more but not all of its Locations, or if Franchisee desires to relocate a Subdivision Sales Office, Satellite Office, or Administrative Office, it must first request and obtain Franchisor’s consent. The following procedures set forth the means for Franchisee to apply for Franchisor’s consent:

(a) Not less than 30 days prior to the desired date of closing or relocation (unless prior notice is impractical because of a required closing or relocation in which event notice shall be made as soon as possible), Franchisee must make a written request for consent to close or relocate, describing the reasons for the closing or relocation and providing details respecting any proposed new location as shall be specified in the Operations Manual.

(b) Within 21 days after receiving Franchisee’s request, Franchisor shall either approve or disapprove in writing such closure or relocation in its sole discretion. If Franchisor does not approve the request within 21 days, the request shall be deemed not approved. In the event of disapproval of a relocation, Franchisee may request an alternative proposed new location pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 4.02.

If Franchisor consents to the closing of a Location and Franchisee is thereafter permitted to open an Additional Location, then Franchisor shall waive the Additional Location Fee otherwise required under paragraph 5.01 hereof; provided that the Franchise Fee or Additional Location Fee for the closed Location had not been waived and had been paid in full by Franchisee.

4.03 Additional Locations and Additional Satellite Offices

If Franchisor, in its sole discretion, determines that there is an appropriate opportunity for Franchisee to open Additional Locations or Additional Satellite Offices at a place or places adjacent to or reasonably proximate to the Locations, Subdivision Sales Offices and Satellite Offices then being operated by Franchisee, Franchisor may, but is not obligated to, grant to Franchisee the right to open one or more Additional Locations or Additional Satellite Offices, provided Franchisee shall not then, or at any time thereafter prior to the opening of such Additional Locations or Additional Satellite Offices, be in default of any of its obligations arising pursuant to this Agreement.

If Franchisee desires to open an Additional Location or Additional Satellite Office, it shall first submit to Franchisor a written request for approval of each proposed Additional Location or Additional Satellite Office, containing such information as shall be specified in the Operations Manual. Within 30 days after receiving such request, Franchisor shall approve or disapprove such Additional Location or Additional Satellite Office. If Franchisor does not approve the request within 30 days, the Additional Location or Additional Satellite Office shall be deemed not approved. If Franchisor

-8-

approves, upon Franchisee’s payment of the required fee (if any) specified in paragraph 5.0l(b) below, said Additional Location or Additional Satellite Office shall be effective as of the date approved by Franchisor for Franchisee to commence the Franchised Business at such Additional Location or Additional Satellite Office.

If Franchisee wishes to ascertain current information as to whether there may be an appropriate opportunity for a particular Additional Location or Additional Satellite Office, Franchisee shall submit an inquiry to Franchisor in writing. The response to such inquiry shall set forth Franchisor1 s views as of the date of the response, but is subject to change and shall not be construed as granting approval of an Additional Location or Additional Satellite Office or as authorizing any action by the inquiring Franchisee.

Franchisee acknowledges that Franchisor and Franchisee have not had any discussion regarding possible Additional Locations or Additional Offices or opportunities to open Additional Locations or Additional Offices except as set forth in writing in the Statement of Prospective Franchisee signed by Franchisee in connection with this Agreement.

(b) The Continuing Royalty payable during the First and succeeding Anniversary Years shall be adjusted when certain thresholds (“Thresholds”) are met. The Continuing Royalty percentages will apply only to the Gross Revenues between the two Thresholds set forth next to each percentage in the above Schedule. By way of example only, if Franchisee’s Gross Revenues during an Anniversary Year were $2,000,000 according to the Schedule, Franchisee would pay 6.00% on the first $1,500,000 of Gross Revenues (or $90,000), and 5.25% on the remaining $500,000 of Gross Revenues (or $26,250), for a total Continuing Royalty of $116,250.

Franchisee shall deposit the Continuing Royalty into the Depository Checking Account immediately when payable under this subparagraph or the following subparagraph hereof. Franchisee’s Continuing Royalty shall be paid to Franchisor regardless of the type of consideration received by Franchisee. In circumstances involving non-cash Gross Revenues, the method and timing of payment of Continuing Royalty may be varied in Franchisor’s sole discretion and said non-cash Gross Revenues will be valued at its then fair market value (in the case of a promissory note, its then fair market value shall be equal to the stated face value of the note). Franchisor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the Continuing Royalty rate.

(f) Notwithstanding the preceding subparagraph, at Franchisee’s option, said Continuing Royalty shall not be immediately payable on Gross Revenues not yet received by Franchisee, if payment of all or a portion of the commission earned is deferred pursuant to a written agreement; in which case the Continuing Royalty shall be payable upon the actual receipt directly or indirectly of said commission, or portion thereof; by the Franchisee. For purposes of calculating Continuing Royalty Thresholds (subparagraphs 5.02(a) and (b) hereof), deferred commissions shall be included in Gross Revenues only upon receipt.

For purposes of this subparagraph, a listing agreement shall not be deemed to be a “binding written agreement”.

(h) For each Anniversary Year following the First Anniversary Year, Franchisee’s minimum Continuing Royalty will be equal to Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000). If Franchisee fails to pay the minimum Continuing Royalty in any Anniversary Year, Franchisor shall, following the end of such Anniversary Year, notify Franchisee of the amount by which Franchisee has failed to meet the minimum Continuing Royalty. Franchisee shall pay to Franchisor such amount within 30 days after receipt by Franchisee of such notice.

(c) On a national basis, Franchisor may impose an additional assessment upon all of its franchisees for special designated advertising or promotional activities (so long as such assessment is not in substance merely an increase in the general Advertising Fee referred to in paragraph 5.03(a) hereof), if franchisees owning two-thirds of all of its franchised Locations agree to such additional assessment by affirmative vote.

(d) In its sole discretion, Franchisor shall have the right to reduce the per Location Advertising Fee set forth in subparagraph 5.03(a) above and upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice, to restore said per Location Advertising Fee to an amount that shall not exceed the per Location Advertising Fee specified in subparagraph 5.03(a) above, as adjusted in accordance with the Consumer Price Index.

-24-

Franchisee is in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any other agreement, arrangement or understanding with Franchisor.

(g) Other Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to Franchisor’s right of first refusal provided in paragraph 10.03 hereof, Franchisee or an Equity Holder may effect any Transfer of a direct or indirect interest in this Agreement, in the Franchised Business or in the economic benefits derived therefrom, or any equity interest in Franchisee, not permitted by the preceding subparagraphs (b) through (e), only after written notice to Franchisor and only with Franchisor’s written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Franchisor shall exercise its good faith business judgment in determining whether to give or withhold its consent to a Transfer under this paragraph 10.02(g). Such exercise of good faith business judgment shall include Franchisor’s consideration of certain skills and qualifications of the prospective transferee that are of business concern to Franchisor, including without limitation, the following: experience in real estate brokerage, financial and operational skills and qualifications, economic resources, reputation and character of such prospective transferees; the ability of such prospective transferee(s) to fully and faithfully conduct the Franchised Business as contemplated by this Agreement; and the effect that the Transfer and the prospective transferees will have or may reasonably be expected to have on the reputation or business operations of the Franchised Business, the Network, the System, or Franchisor, its parent or any of its affiliates.

(h) Equity Interest Defined. An “equity interest” in an entity shall mean any stock or partnership interest, membership interest or other direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest in such entity (whether partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust or otherwise), or in the economic benefits derived therefrom, and if the holder of such equity interest is not a natural person, “equity interest” shall also include any stock or partnership interest, membership interest or other direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest in, or in the economic benefits derived from, such holder. “Equity interest” in Franchisee shall also include any direct or indirect interest in this Agreement, in the Franchised Business or in the economic benefits derived therefrom or in the assets of the Franchised Business if such assets are Transferred in connection with a Transfer of a substantial portion of such assets. “Equity Holder” shall mean any holder of an equity interest or other ownership interest in Franchisee and shall not include Franchisee itself.

(i) Computing Equity Interests. In computing the percentages of equity interests in Franchisee, limited partners will not be distinguished from general partners in the case of partnerships, and Franchisor’s judgment will be final if there is any question of the definition of “equity interest” or as to the computation of relative equity interests, the principal considerations being: (i) direct and indirect power to exercise control over the affairs of Franchisee; (ii) direct and indirect right to share in Franchisee’s profits; and (iii) amounts directly or indirectly exposed to risk in Franchisee’s business. Equity interests may be Transferred only if the Transfer is registered or exempt from registration under federal securities laws. If Franchisee is a partnership or corporation, Franchisee represents that the equity interests in Franchisee are directly and (if applicable) indirectly owned as shown on Exhibit D attached hereto.

(j) Registration of Proposed Transfer. If a proposed Transfer of an equity interest in Franchisee requires registration under any federal or state securities law, Franchisee shall: (i) request Franchisor1S consent at least 45 days before the proposed effective date of the registration; (ii) accompany such requests with one payment of a non-refundable fee of $10,000; (iii) reimburse Franchisor for expenses incurred by Franchisor in connection with review of materials concerning the proposed registration, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and travel expenses; and (iv) agree, and all participants in the proposed offering subject to registration shall agree, to fully indemnify Franchisor in connection with the registration in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to Franchisor; furnish Franchisor all information requested by Franchisor; avoid any implication of Franchisor’s participating in or endorsing the offering, and use Franchisor’s service marks and trademarks only as directed by Franchisor.

(k) Transfer and Processing Fees. In the event of a Transfer of a ten percent (10%) or greater equity interest in Franchisee, or that would result in a change in Control of Franchisee, Franchisee shall pay to Franchisor a non-refundable transfer and processing fee of $1,000. Such transfer and processing fees are payable simultaneously with such Transfer.

(l) Assumption of Obligations. Prior to any Transfer by Franchisee or an Equity Holder of an equity interest in Franchisee permitted hereunder, if the transferor thereof is a party to any agreement or understanding with Franchisor, including, without limitation, a guarantee of Franchisee’s obligations hereunder, such transferor shall give Franchisor 30 days’ prior written notice of the Transfer (except under paragraph 10.02(e) hereof) and (i) shall cause the transferee to enter into an equivalent agreement or understanding with Franchisor prior to such Transfer in form and substance satisfactory to

.25

Franchisor; and (ii) in any event, shall cause the transferee and each Equity Holder of such transferee to expressly assume in writing for the benefit of Franchisor all of the respective obligations of Franchisee and its Equity Holders under this Agreement. No such Transfer shall be effective unless and until such transferee and each Equity Holder of such transferee complies fu1ly with the terms of this paragraph, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

(m) Conditions Precedent to Transfer. Franchisor may impose certain conditions precedent to its required consent to a Transfer pursuant to this Article X including, without limitation, the following:

(i) that the proposed transferee (or the principal Equity Holders thereof) present themselves for a personal interview at Franchisor1S corporate office, or such other location designated by Franchisor, at such date and time reasonably requested by Franchisor, without expense to Franchisor and prior to such Transfer;

(ii) Franchisee shall have complied fully as of the date of any such Transfer with all of its obligations to Franchisor, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding with Franchisor; and

(iii) the transferee of Franchisee agrees that all of Franchisor’s training and orientation programs then required by Franchisor shall be satisfactorily completed by transferee’s necessary personnel within 30 days after the effective date of such Transfer, and such transferee agrees to pay for all of its expenses incurred in connection therewith, including travel, hotel and meal expenses.

(iv) concurrent with the Transfer, transferee of Franchise shall enter into a new Franchise Agreement on the terms of Franchisor’s then current standard form of Franchise Agreement for the then current initial franchise term.

(n) No Waiver. Franchisee acknowledges (i) that any consent granted or withheld by Franchisor under this Article X shall not serve to waive Franchisor’s right to grant or withhold consents thereafter, and (ii) that Franchisor may consider the effect (cumulative or otherwise) of prior transfers in determining whether to grant or withhold its consent to any Transfer.

(o) Notice. If a Transfer occurs that is permitted without Franchisor’s prior written consent pursuant to this paragraph 10.02, Franchisee and the transferor shall give Franchisor notice of such Transfer within ten days after such Transfer and shall provide all related information reasonably requested by Franchisor.

10.03 Right of First Refusal

(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10.02 hereof, the right of Franchisee and Equity Holders to Transfer any equity interest in Franchisee or any direct or indirect interest in this Agreement, the Franchised Business or the economic benefits derived therefrom, or in the assets of the Franchised Business if the Transfer of such assets is made in connection with a Transfer of a substantial portion of such assets, as permitted in paragraph 10.02 hereof, shall be subject to Franchisor’s right of first refusal with respect thereto if such Transfer (i) is in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of such equity interest in any single transaction or (ii) effects a change in Control of Franchisee, unless the transferee is one of the Designated Equity Holders (identified in part 7 of Exhibit D hereto). Franchisor’s said right of first refusal may be exercised in the following manner:

(b) Franchisee or such Equity Holder shall serve upon Franchisor a written notice setting forth (i) all of the terms and conditions of any offer or agreement relating to a proposed Transfer by such person, or all terms and conditions of any proposed Transfer arising out of, or resulting from, any judicial proceeding, arbitration or other quasi-judicial proceeding, and (ii) all available information concerning the proposed transferee of such person.

(c) Within thirty business days after Franchisor1 S receipt of such notice (or if it shall request additional information, within thirty business days after receipt of such additional information), Franchisor shall notify the proposed transferor of one of the following:

(i) Franchisor shall exercise its right of first refusal as provided herein; or

(ii) Franchisor grants its consent to such Transfer to the proposed transferee as stated in the notice; or

.26

(iii) Franchisor shall not exercise its right of first refusal and does not consent to such Transfer.

(d) If Franchisor shall elect to exercise its right of first refusal, it shall purchase the equity interests or assets proposed to be Transferred on the same terms and conditions as set forth in such offer or agreement, or in the case of a proposed Transfer pursuant to a judicial proceeding, arbitration or quasi-judicial proceeding, on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the written notice set forth in subparagraph (b) above. If Franchisor shall elect not to exercise its right of first refusal and shall consent to such Transfer, the proposed transferor shall for a period of 90 days be free to so Transfer to such proposed transferee upon the terms and conditions specified in said notice. If, however, said terms shall be materially changed, or if said 90-day period shall have expired, Franchisor shall again have such right of first refusal with respect thereto and the proposed transferor shall again be required to comply with paragraph 10.03(a) above.

(e) Franchisor’s right of first refusal as contained herein shall in no way modify or diminish Franchisor’s right to withhold its consent to Transfer under paragraph 10.02 hereof.

10.04 Transfer of Premises

In the event of a Transfer by Franchisee of this Agreement or the Franchised Business, if legally permissible, Franchisee shall also Transfer all of its rights under any lease(s) for its Locations or any other property necessary for the operation of the Franchised Business to the same transferee of Franchisee.

XII.

COMMUNICATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Franchisor and Franchisee have entered into a long-term franchise relationship that gives rise to an obligation, subject to and consistent with the terms of this Agreement, to endeavor to make the relationship succeed, in light of the overall best interests of the Network and/or System, as contemplated by this Agreement. To that end, Franchisor and Franchisee acknowledge that they need to attempt to resolve disagreements and/or disputes before such disagreements and/or disputes negatively impact the relationship. Good faith communications between Franchisor and Franchisee are an important aspect of that obligation. The provisions in this Article XII are intended to facilitate such communication and the prompt resolution of any disagreements or disputes between the parties. To the extent any element or aspect of this Article XII is found, under applicable law, to be unenforceable in any way, it shall not be deemed void but, if possible, shall be enforced to the fullest lawful extent and all other provisions of this Article XII shall remain in full force and effect.

12.01 Availability of Alternative Dispute Resolution

Except for the disputes described in paragraph 12.02 of this Agreement and except as otherwise specifically modified by this Article XII, any dispute between Franchisor and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Franchisee and any of its Affiliates, on the other, arising out of, relating to or referencing this Agreement or its breach in any way, including without limitation, any claim sounding in tort arising out of the relationship created by this Agreement, and any claim that this Agreement or any other of its parts is invalid, illegal or otherwise voidable or void, is subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in paragraphs 12.03 and 12.04 of this Agreement.

“Affiliates”, as used in this Article XII, includes without limitation all shareholders, members, partners, owners, direct and indirect parents and subsidiaries, all affiliates thereof, and all officers, directors, employees, managers and agents of the foregoing, acting in the course of conducting business activities related to Franchisor or Franchisee, as the case may be.

12.02 Disputes Not Subject To Alternative Dispute Resolution

The following disputes are not subject to the procedures stated in paragraphs 12.03 and 12.04 of this Agreement:

(b) Any disputes relating to (i) Franchisee’s use of the Service Marks, or any other xxxx in which Franchisor or any of its affiliates has an interest; (ii) acts that otherwise violate Franchisee’s obligations under Article VII of this agreement; or (iii) conduct that is alleged to otherwise infringe the intellectual property rights of Franchisor or any of its affiliates;

-30-

(d) Any dispute for which Franchisor is entitled to terminate this Agreement without prior notice under the provisions of paragraph 11.02 of this Agreement;

(e) Any dispute in any way relating to the scope, application or enforceability of this Article XII; and

(f) Any dispute, other than those enumerated above, in which any injunctive relief is sought, but only to the extent of proceedings for such relief, as further provided in paragraph 12.06 hereof.

12.03 Written Notice of Unresolved Disputes -- “Notification of Dispute” Procedure

Except as provided in paragraph 12.02 above, all disputes shall be brought to the attention of Franchisor and Franchisee by delivering a written notice headed “Notification of Dispute.” Delivery of such notice shall be made within 60 days of the date on which facts respecting the dispute first come to Franchisor’s or Franchisee’s attention. A notice of default under Article XI of this Agreement may precede the Notification of Dispute and, in such cases, the Notification of Dispute may be sent at such time as it appears that the default has not been satisfactorily corrected. The Notification of Dispute shall specify, to the fullest extent possible, the party’s version of facts surrounding the dispute, the amount of damages and/or the nature of any other relief such party claims. The party (or parties as the case may be) receiving a Notification of Dispute shall respond within 30 business days after receipt thereof, in accordance with paragraph 14.07 of this Agreement, stating its version of the facts and, if applicable, its position as to the relief sought by the party initiating the dispute procedure; provided, however, that if the dispute has been the subject of a default notice given under Article XI hereof, the Franchisee shall respond to the notice under this paragraph 12.03 within ten business days.

If upon receipt of a Notification of Dispute and responses under this paragraph 12.03, the dispute (or any part thereof) is not resolved, the parties initiating the Notification of Dispute shall so indicate in writing within five business days or the dispute shall be deemed to be resolved as set forth in the response to the Notification of Dispute. If the dispute is not resolved, the parties shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the dispute outlined in the Notification of Dispute and responses.

All notices, requests and responses to be delivered to Franchisor or Franchisee under this Article XII shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph 14.07 of this Agreement.

12.04 Option to Mediate Dispute

In the event a dispute outlined in a Notification of Dispute has not been resolved within 15 days after receipt of the last writing called for by paragraph 12.03 above, either party may initiate a mediation procedure in accordance with this paragraph 12.04 within five days thereafter by making a written request for mediation. Such mediation will be conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) according to its procedures. If JAMS is unable to act in the matter, mediation shall be conducted under the auspices of any other mediation service mutually agreed to by the parties according to the mediator’s procedures. The scope of such mediation and the authority of the mediator to act with respect to the dispute is defined by the specific provisions of this Article XII and any mediator will be required to execute an acknowledgment of applicability of the provisions of this Article XII in any proceeding under this Agreement.

The object of any mediation subject to this paragraph 12.04 is to assist the parties in reaching a mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute. Such mediation shall, in all circumstances, be consistent with the rights and obligations created by this Agreement and shall not be premised on the derogation or diminution of those rights or disregard of those rights. The mediation process shall begin promptly and shall be concluded within ten business days of the day the request for mediation is made, unless the parties mutually otherwise agree. Any and all discussions, negotiations, findings or other statements by the mediator and/or the parties made in connection with the mediation shall be privileged and confidential and shall not be admissible into evidence in any litigation.

In the event the dispute is not resolved by mutual agreement, the mediator shall request each party to submit, within ten business days or less, a proposed “Listing of Relevant Facts” that each party asserts are relevant to resolution of the dispute. Submissions shall be limited to assertions of fact without opinion, legal argument or ultimate conclusory assertions. Based on such submissions, the mediator shall prepare a final Listing of Relevant Facts including those facts

that appear to be related to the dispute and undisputed; those that appear to be relevant to the dispute but are the subject of factual disagreement; and those that (whether disputed or not) appear to be irrelevant to the dispute. The Listing of Relevant Facts prepared by the mediator shall also be limited to specific facts without opinion, legal argument or ultimate conclusory assertions and shall be delivered to all parties, in writing, within ten business days after the submission date referred to above. The mediator’s Listing of Relevant Facts shall be on an advisory basis and may not be admitted as evidence in any proceeding between the parties or used outside of the proceeding; provided, however, that either party may make reference to the Listing of Relevant Facts on an in camera basis in the course of pre-trial proceedings in a subsequent court proceeding between the parties involved in the dispute.

All mediation proceedings shall take place in Orange County, California, or if Franchisor so elects, in the county where the principal place of business of Franchisee is then located. The expenses of the mediation service shall be borne equally by Franchisor and Franchisee, and all other expenses relating to such mediation shall be borne by the party incurring them.

12.05 Business Judgment

The parties hereto recognize, and any mediator or judge is affirmatively advised, that certain provisions of this Agreement describe the right of Franchisor to take (or refrain from taking) certain actions in the exercise of its business judgment based on its assessment of the overall best interests of the Network and/or System. Where such discretion has been exercised, and is supported by the business judgment of Franchisor, neither a mediator nor a judge shall substitute his or her judgment for the judgment so exercised by Franchisor.

12.06 Court Proceedings

If the dispute is not subject to paragraphs 12.03 and 12.04 hereof or if after the conclusion of all procedures under those paragraphs including the delivery of any Listings of Relevant Facts by the mediator, the parties have been unable to resolve the dispute, either party may avail itself of the right to seek relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, California, and only in that location, in accordance with paragraph 12.07 specifically and in accordance with the provisions of this Article XII; provided, however, that if the procedures in paragraphs 12.03 and 12.04 of this Agreement have been employed, any such complaint shall be filed within 60 days following the conclusion of the mediation process and the mediator’s delivery of the Listing of Relevant Facts, which 60 day period shall constitute an agreed limitation as provided in paragraph 12.08 of this Agreement, and such complaint shall be limited to the cause(s) of action within the scope of the Notification of Dispute delivered in accordance with paragraph 12.03 of this Agreement.

In any such proceeding, any dispute that involves decisions expressly reserved herein for Franchisor’s business judgment or discretion shall not be set aside unless the Court finds that Franchisor has exercised its judgment or discretion without any reasonable business basis therefor, as provided in paragraph 12.05 hereof.

All disputes that involve adjudication in a court shall be governed by the provisions of paragraphs 12.07 and 12.08 of this Agreement. If, in an action commenced in a court pursuant to paragraph 12.02 of this Agreement, a party seeks temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, the court hearing the matter shall proceed to adjudicate the issues before it with respect to such relief and shall not delay the entry of any order with respect to such relief; provided, however, that except for matters fully determined in connection with proceedings for temporary or preliminary relief: the dispute resolution procedures set forth herein shall be used. If in an action commenced in court pursuant to paragraph 12.02, the opposing party shall raise a legally sufficient claim by way of defense, cross-claim or counterclaim that is otherwise subject to the dispute resolution provisions of this Article XII, the court hearing the matter shall proceed to adjudicate the issues before it; provided, however, that the court may elect to use the dispute resolution procedures set forth herein with respect to any such defense, counterclaim or cross-claim to the maximum extent feasible, so long as the use of all such dispute resolution procedures may be completed within 60 days from the date the matter is referred to the mediator for that purpose.

12.07 VENUE: SUBMISSION OF ISSUES TO COURT; LIMITATION OF DAMAGES

The parties acknowledge that Franchisor operates a nationwide franchise system, with franchisees located in numerous different states and in numerous counties and cities within such states. Accordingly, the parties hereby agree that in view of the fact that the books, records and business personnel of Franchisor are located, for the most part, in

.32

Orange County, California, and in order to minimize disruption or interference with operation of the franchise system as a whole, Franchisee and Franchisor agree as follows:

(a) ANY AND ALL COURT PROCEEDINGS ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY MANNER TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN FRANCHISOR AND ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, ON THE ONE HAND, AND FRANCHISEE AND ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, ON THE OTHER, ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR REFERENCING THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS BREACH IN ANY WAY, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN,. AND ONLY IN, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA (ORANGE COUNTY DIVISION—SANTA XXX). NO INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY (WHETHER NAMED OR OTHERWISE DESIGNATED) SHALL BE JOINED AS A PARTY TO SUCH PROCEEDINGS IF SUCH JOINDER HAS THE EFFECT OF DESTROYING FEDERAL COURT JURISDICTION UNLESS THAT INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY IS A NECESSARY PARTY TO THE PROCEEDING AS A MATTER OF LAW. WHERE THERE IS NO UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE DISPUTE, THE PROCEEDING MAY BE INITIATED IN, AND ONLY IN, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, OR IF THE JURISDICTIONAL LIMITS FOR THE SUPERIOR COURT ARE NOT MET, THEN THE PROCEEDING MAY BE INITIATED IN THE HARBOR MUNICIPAL COURT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY JUDICIAL DISTRICT, NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA.

EXHIBIT C

PRUDENTIAL REFERRAL SERVICES, INC.

BROKER TO BROKER REFERRAL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By signing below, Franchisee (“Broker” for purposes of this Exhibit) confirms that as of this date the referral service referred to in paragraph 9.01 of Broker’s Franchise Agreement with The Prudential Real Estate Affiliates, Inc. (“Prudential Real Estate”) is Prudential Referral Services, Inc. (“PRS”), and that the terms, conditions and general referral policies applicable to Franchisee as a participant in such referral service are as set forth below (for purposes of these Terms and Conditions, a “PRS Member” shall mean a real estate broker who has an executed Broker to Broker Referral Agreement or Broker to Broker Referral Terms and Conditions in effect with PRS):

1. Designation of Broker; Referral Service Area.

PRS hereby designates Broker to perform brokerage referral services and other obligations and duties pursuant to these Terms and Conditions within the Referral Service Area (hereinafter “RSA”), which PRS, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The RSA is NON-EXCLUSIVE. PRS may designate or may have designated additional real estate brokers to perform services in or around the RSA at any time and from time to time. PRS may at any time and from time to time require Broker to submit such information as PRS may reasonably require regarding Broker’s service within the RSA. PRS in its sole and absolute discretion (without any requirement of reasonableness whatsoever) may at any time and from time to time modify the Broker’s RSA. PRS retains sole discretion to determine which PRS Members it chooses to deal with in or around the RSA. In cases of direct dealings between PRS Members, such Members have the sole right to determine which other Members they will deal with in or around the RSA.

Without limiting in any way PRS’ absolute right to alter the RSA as set forth above, Broker acknowledges that from time to time its RSA may be reduced at such time as new members are added to the PRS network.

2. Responsibilities of Broker.

Broker agrees to the fol1owing specific terms and conditions:

a. To follow and observe the rules and regulations of PRS relating in any way to the Terms and Conditions and all matters hereunder, as announced in writing by PRS (the “PRS Policy Manual”). The PRS Policy Manual may be amended from time to time by PRS in its sole discretion upon 30 days’ written notice to Broker and other PRS Members.

b. To file such reports of referral activities and other matters related to performance under this contract as PRS may from time to time require under the PRS Policy Manual.

c. To maintain all real estate licenses and registrations necessary to operate in good standing in all jurisdictions in the RSA.

d. To maintain high standards of professional and business conduct.

e. To exercise its best efforts to generate referrals.

f. To provide all information required by PRS to be maintained in the PRS Directory (which will include a Broker profile, an RSA profile and an after hours telephone number), and to promptly advise PRS of all additions, changes, deletions and corrections in its operations as reflected in the PRS Directory.

3. Referral Guidelines.

The parties shall abide by the following general referral guidelines:

a. Broker shall use all reasonable efforts to send all outgoing referrals to a Prudential Real Estate affiliate (which term includes franchisees and company-owned offices, if any) or other PRS Member in the destination community, except as provided below. Any referral to an RSA shared by more than one Prudential Real Estate affiliate or other PRS Member shall be placed exclusively with one of those Prudential Real Estate affiliates or other Members. If there is no Prudential Real Estate affiliate or other PRS Member in the destination community, or if Broker’s customer requests that a non-PRS broker be utilized, Broker shall contact PRS for a broker recommendation and use reasonable efforts to place the outgoing referral with the recommended broker. If Broker’s customer specifically requests that a non-PRS broker be utilized in a designated community, then such a broker may be utilized.

b. Broker agrees to use forms and procedures designated by PRS to process all Broker’s referrals in accordance with the PRS Policy Manual.

c. Broker shall initiate all referrals by telephone to the destination broker and enter the referral information in a software program approved by PRS if available. If accepted, the destination broker shall use reasonable efforts to keep the origination broker informed of the referral status thereafter, as may be required by the PRS Policy Manual.

d. Broker shall make reasonable efforts to send only qualified referrals in accordance with the PRS Policy Manual. A destination broker shall have 48 hours after contact from an origination broker to reject a referral. Such rejection shall be made in accordance with the PRS Policy Manual. If not rejected within 48 hours, the referral shall be deemed accepted. Referrals shall not be rejected unless the customer has previously been referred or acquired from another source and has been properly registered by the destination broker on such broker’s customer list, or the customer refuses the destination broker’s services. If a referral is rejected because the customer has previously been referred or acquired from another source, then the origination broker may not send such referral to another broker.

e. In the event that the RSA is covered by more than one PRS Member, there shall be a co-listing in the PRS Directory.

f. Primary responsibility for referral and relocation activity of Broker shall be performed by designated employees, who shall be available during norma1 business hours (and after hours at a telephone number listed in the PRS Directory) as required for the handling of incoming and outgoing referrals, in accordance with the PRS Policy Manual.

g. Broker shall abide by the referral fee structure hereinafter set forth.

h. Broker shall only be eligible to receive commercial real estate referrals if Broker has qualified for commercial real estate referrals in accordance with the PRS Policy Manual.

4. Compensation to PRS, Referral Fees and Traffic Generation.

a. Following the First Anniversary Year, Broker shall pay PRS an annual fee of Thirty-Five Dollars ($35.00) per full-time sales associate and full-time sales associate equivalent; provided that Broker’s minimum annual fee shall be Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00) and Broker’s maximum annual fee shall be Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500.00). This fee shall be payable quarterly pursuant to PRS invoice or the Broker may choose to pay the annual fee in advance with the first quarter invoice. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to its natural expiration date and Broker is in good standing at the time, PRS shall refund to Broker the appropriate pro-rata share of the annual fee previously paid to PRS.

b. PRS, Prudential Real Estate and their affiliated companies have created and are creating, and from time to time may terminate, certain programs to generate referral activity and specialized referral programs, including but not limited to, affinity relationships with various group (some of which may be or whose members may be located in Broker’s geographic area). Members of PRS are not guaranteed such referral; however, they are the preferred recipients of such referrals. Broker acknowledges and agrees that neither PRS, Prudential Real Estate nor their affiliated companies have any obligation to create such programs. The referral fee to be paid to PRS for any transaction from any such program shall be determined in FRS’s sole discretion at the time of the referral. However, the PRS member may decline the referral. If members do not accept any referral, PRS may offer that referral to non-members on terms no better than offered to the member.

c. Unless otherwise agreed at the time of referral, the origination broker shall be entitled to a referral fee only on the transaction referred, No referral fee shall be payable to the origination broker on account of additional sales or purchases by such referred customer.

d. Referral fees are due at the time of closing and PRS’s portion shall be forwarded by Broker directly and immediately in accordance with the PRS Policy Manual to PRS. On behalf of PRS, at Prudential Real Estate’s option, Prudential Real Estate may withdraw PRS’s portion of the referral fees payable hereunder directly from Broker’s “Depository Checking Account,” as defined in and in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph 9.04 of the Franchise Agreement.

e. Referral fees shall be earned on all referrals which result in irrevocable transfer of title within 18 months from the date of the referral.

b. Marketing efforts on behalf of a corporate client to market properties will not be deemed to be in competition with PRS, and marketing efforts on behalf of or to a corporate client for the purpose of obtaining listings or servicing home finding referrals will not be deemed to be in competition with PRS.

c. Nothing herein shall prohibit Broker from belonging to a trade association or subscribing to relocation training as long as the trade association or the source of training is not a competitor of PRS.

d. Broker is encouraged to solicit relocation business and to provide corporate calling services provided that neither the corporate caller nor Broker offers services independently as a substitute for services provided by PRS or RM and further provided that the calling does not conflict with existing contractual relationships between (i) PRS or RM and (ii) the corporation at the time the call is made.
