Item 10 FINANCING
Our Financing
Neither we nor any agent or
affiliate offers direct or indirect financing to you, guarantees any of your
notes, leases or obligations, or has any practice or intent to sell, assign or
discount to a 3rd party all or part of any of your financing
arrangements.
We do not know whether you
will be able to obtain financing for all or part of your investment and, if so,
the terms of the financing. We do not receive direct or indirect payments for
placing financing.
ADQ Financing
ADQ does not offer direct or
indirect financing to you. You must obtain necessary financing through 3rd
parties. Neither ADQ nor its affiliates finance any part of the initial
franchise Fee. Neither ADQ nor its affiliates will offer site acquisition,
equipment or leasehold financing services to you for the establishment of your
sublicensed business.
ADQ
periodically arranges with 3rd party finance companies or banks to
make financing programs available to you. These arrangements ordinarily involve
no more than arranging to put you in contact with sources of financing. There
is no assurance that financing will be offered in any particular instance. If
financing is offered, the financial institution independently establishes the
amount, terms, interest rate and duration. Neither ADQ nor any of its
affiliates receive any payments in exchange for these referrals or the
placement of any financing. It is solely your responsibility to locate and
obtain, on whatever terms you can arrange, any required financing.
