(the "Territory") under the terms of our
Regional Master Franchise Agreement (the "Regional Master Franchise Agreement"), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B. As a Regional Master
Franchisee, you must sell unit franchises ("Unit Franchises") in your Territory and provide
your unit franchisees ("Unit Franchisees") with support services for the
Unit Franchisees'' operation of their JAN-PRO Unit Franchise businesses. You
will also establish commercial, industrial and institutional cleaning accounts
for customers of these services ("Janitorial Customers") in your Territory to sell to
your Unit Franchisees. You must prepare and use a separate Disclosure Document
for the sale of Unit Franchises to prospective Unit Franchisees in your
Territory and comply with all laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises.
You will provide Unit Franchisees with customer accounts, and assist Unit
Franchisees within your Territory, including on-site assistance, periodic and
