Explanatory
Notes
Note 1: General. The low and high ranges in
the table are based on the cost of construction of a one-bay automatic car wash
facility utilizing a "build-to-suit" developer. It is anticipalejjJhat
the one-bav Automatic Car Wash Facility will be the most commonly
developed Facility.
S702S-042Q/LEGAL14074Q34.I 57025-0420/LEGAL 14136594.1
Note 2: Initial Franchise
Fee. The
amount shown for the low and high range reflects the development of a one bay
Automatic Car Wash facility. Lfj^QU-purchase a second-Olisubseauent
franchise to operate a,.MONKEY SHINE Facility., the initial franchise
fee is, 60% of the then, current initial franchise fee. We may
change or discontinue our current policy of discounting initial
franchise fees for second and subsequent franchises at anv time. See Item 5.
Note 3: Lease, Real Estate and Improvements. The most common arrangement
utilized by franchisees is to secure a "build-to-suit" lease. In this
type of a lease, the landlord pays some or all of the lease improvement costs.
Your rent is based in part on those costs. If property is owned by a third
party and leased to you, we estimate the rent for the first month to be in a
range of $2,500 to $6,000 for a one-bay Automatic Car Wash Facility and the
security deposit is usually equal to one or two month''s rent. The chart shows
one month''s rent and a security deposit equal to one month''s rent. The
estimated costs to purchase a site for a single bay Automatic Car Wash Facility
ranges from $100,000 to $200,000 for land and $100,000 to $250,000 for the
building. You need a site of approximately 5,000 square feet, but smaller sites
may be acceptable. The one bay
Automatic Car Wash building is approximately 42 feet by 24 feet and contains
approximately 1,010 square feet. Preferred sites are located on major streets
or within high volume shopping areas. Acceptable levels of vehicle traffic,
population size and demographics of an area may vary from location to location.
You must negotiate your lease of, or financing for the purchase of, the real
estate and the construction or conversion of a building to a MONKEY SHINE
Facility designed to our specifications.
Note 4: Automatic Car Wash Equipment and Installation. Assuming you can establish
creditworthiness acceptable to third parties, financing through third parties
may be available. In most cases, financing will be secured through a
traditional financing source. Terms of payment are generally 25% - 50% deposit
due when the sales contract is signed, with the remaining funds due 10 days
prior to shipment of the equipment. In some cases there may be a 10% holdback
until the car wash equipment is started up. These terms may vary based on the
distributor and the manufacturer. Certain of these costs may vary due to
fluctuations in the price of steel or the type of car wash equipment you choose
for your facility. A breakdown of these estimated costs is as follows:

graphic standards and be approved in writing by MSF in advance of production.
The estimated cost in the table may increase due to zoning or installation
factors.
Note 9: Computer Hardware and Software. The estimated initial investment
includes costs related to the purchase of computer hardware and software. MSF
reserves the right to require that you purchase hardware and software which has
been developed for use in the operations of MONKEY SHINE Facilities from a
vendor approved by MSF, MSF or its affiliates.
Note 10: Pre-Paid Expenses. This estimated amount
includes utility deposits, fees for city, state and local business licenses, a
25% deposit of the first year''s insurance premiums for liability, replacement
property and other prepaid expenses.
Note 11: Additional Funds. This amount includes
estimated operating expenses you should expect to incur during the first three
months of operations. It includes payroll costs (but not a draw or salary for
you), taxes, utilities, advertising, rent, accounting and other professional
fees, and other operational expenses that are not covered by sales revenue. You
may have additional expenses starting your business. Your costs depend on
several factors, including how much you follow our methods and procedures, your
management skills, experience and business acumen, local economic conditions,
the local market for our services, the prevailing wage rate, competition and
the sales level reached during the initial period. This is only an estimate and
there is no guarantee that the amounts specified will be adequate or that
additional investment will not be necessary during the first three months of
operations or

Self-Serve Car Wash bays and Automatic Car Wash bays.
Note 2: Initial Franchise
Fee. The
initial franchise fee reflects a cost of $5,000 per bay for an Automatic and
Self-Serve car wash with a maximum initial franchise fee of $25,000._ If you
purchase_a second or subsequent franchise to operate a MONKEY SHINE Facility,
the initial franchise fee is 60% of the then current initial franchise fee. We
may_change or discontinue our current policy of discounting initial
franchise fees for second and subsequent franchises atam/Jims,
Note 3: Lease, Real Estate and
Improvements. The most common arrangement utilized by franchisees is to secure a
"build-to-suit" lease. In this type of a lease, the landlord pays
some or all of the lease improvement costs. Your rent is based in part on those
costs. If property is owned by a third party and leased to you, we estimate the
rent for the first month to be in a range of $6,000 to $12,000 six bay facility
and the security deposit is usually equal to one or two month''s rent. The chart
shows one month''s rent and a security deposit equal to one month''s rent. The
estimated costs to purchase a site for a MONKEY SHINE Facility typically ranges
from $200,000 to $400,000 for land and $375,000 to $525,000 for a five bay
Self-Serve and one bay Automatic Car Wash building. You need a site of
approximately 30,000 square feet depending on the site configuration, but smaller
sites maybe acceptable. The five bay Self-Serve and one bay Automatic Car Wash
building is approximately 42 feet by 112 feet and contains approximately 3,900
square feet. Your building must have drive-through capability. Preferred sites
are located on major streets or within high volume shopping areas. Acceptable
levels of vehicle traffic, population size and demographics of an area may vary
from location to location. You must negotiate your lease of, or financing for
the purchase of, the real estate and the construction or conversion of a
building to a MONKEY SHINE Facility designed to our specifications.
Note 4:
Car Wash
Equipment, Tools and Installation. Assuming you can establish creditworthiness acceptable
to third parties, financing through third parties maybe available. In most
cases, financing will be secured through a traditional financing source. Terms
of payment are generally: 25% - 50% deposit due when sales contact is signed,
remaining funds will be due 10 days prior to shipment of equipment. In some
cases there maybe a 10% holdback until car wash equipment is started up. These
terms may vary based on distributor and manufacture. Certain of these priced
may vary due to fluctuations if the price of steel or the type of car wash
equipment you choose for you facility. The estimated equipment range will be
affected based on the following factors:

57025-O420/LEGAL14136594.I
The region of the country
will effect the support equipment for each car wash facility. In cold weather
climates additional floor heat systems, heat and weep freeze protection and bay
doors will be needed to keep equipment from freezing up. In warm weather
climates the additional support equipment will not be needed.
Water quality and
municipalities will effect the equipment needed to support the car wash
facility. For example: the water quality will change the sizing of the water
softener or in some cases eliminate the need for the water softener.
Municipalities may require the use of water reclaim or water recycling systems
which will increase the cost of the equipment.
The size of the car wash
facility will affect the overall cost of the equipment. For example: if you
choose to build a larger MONKEY SHINE Facility, there will be additional costs
for upgrading the hot water heater, floor heat boiler, water softener and
spot-free systems.
The car wash equipment
includes: automatic car wash equipment, Self-Serve car wash equipment, all
related support equipment, (i.e., water softener, spot-free system, water
heater, floor heat boiler, air compressor, bay doors, heat & weep freeze
protection, water reclaim), vacuums, vending and credit card systems. The high
and low rages vary based on upgrades and features for the car wash equipment.
Note 5: Grand Opening. You should plan to spend and
minimum of $7,500 on your Grand Opening, not inclusive of labor, cost of goods
and discounts of special offers. The recommended Grand Opening celebrations
should last at least one week and can last for as long as a month.
Note 6: Initial Inventory. The range of inventory for
each car wash facility size includes: automatic and self-serve startup
chemicals, vending supplies, vacuum supplies and uniforms. These ranges reflect
the size of the car wash facility.
Note 7: Signs. All signs must meet our
graphic standards and be approved in writing by MSF in advance of production.
The estimated cost-in the table may-increase due to zoning or-installation
factors. �
Note 8: Computer Hardware and Software. The estimated initial
investment includes costs related to the purchase of computer hardware and
software. MSF reserve the right to require that you purchase hardware and
software from a vendor approved by MSF and which has been developed for use in
the operations of MONKEY SHINE Facilities.
Note 9: Pre-Paid Expenses. This estimated amount
includes utility deposits, fees for city, state and local business licenses, a
25% deposit of the first year''s insurance premiums for liability, replacement
property and other prepaid expenses.
Note 10: Additional Funds. This amount includes
estimated operating expenses you should expect to incur during the first three
months of operations. It includes payroll costs (but not a draw or salary for
you), taxes, utilities, advertising, rent, accounting and other professional
fees, and other operational expenses that are not covered by sales revenue. You
may have additional expenses starting your business. Your costs depend on
several factors, including how much you follow our methods and procedures, your
management skills, experience and business acumen, local economic conditions,
the local market for our services, the prevailing wage rate, competition and
the sales level reached during the initial period. This is only an estimate,
there is no guarantee that the amounts specified will be adequate or that
additional investment will not be necessary during the first three months of
operations of afterwards.

There is no assurance that
you will have reached "break-even" or any other financial level by
the end of the three months and you may need additional capital.
Note 11: Total Estimated
Initial Investment. MSF has Rathe rod compiled this
information from industry exports in compiling those
ostimatcfl.based op its experience aod_in format ion gathered from third-parties,.
Because the ranges in the charts are only estimates, it is possible both to
reduce and exceed the estimated range of costs listed in each item of the
chart. In certain major metropolitan areas, actual costs may substantially
exceed the high range estimates in the chart. You should review these figures
carefully with a business advisor before making any decision to purchase a
franchise. MSF offers financing directly or indirectly for any part of the
initial investment. The availability of financing generally, your
creditworthiness, collateral you may have and lending policies of financial
institutions. None of the fees and costs estimated in the chart, above
are refundable, except deposits paid to third parties may be refundable.
