NOTICE OF TERMINATION
Dear Elien Blickman:
‘This isin reference to that certain franchise agreement, dated December 16, 2005 (the
“Agreement'), signed by The Zig Zag Restaurant Grou
Agreement, and govering the ownership and operation
7001
C, the Franchisee as defined in the
‘Quiznos Sub restaurant located at
N Route 308 Ste 105, Coopersburg, PA 18036 {the ‘Restaurant")
Despite several recent warnings regarding the consequences of not ‘following the reguited
speatications for the preparation of the Prime Rib Cheesesteak sandwich, an audit of your
Restaurant on September 22, 2006 revealed that you are cisregarding the specifications for this
sendwich in @ substantial and material way. Specticaly, afier purchasing a small Prime Rib
Cheeseteak sandwich and weighing the meat, it was determined thai you were using only 4.00
‘ounces of prime rib in preparing the sandwich. Your faiure to comply with the required
specications is a clear vioiafon of secon 13.4 of the Agreement and 2 vanety of other provisions
in which you agreed to operate your Restaurant in accordance with system specications
ln addition, | would call your attention to the following provisions of the Agreement:
Section 11.1(2) provides that the Franchisee will not “detract from or adversely reflect upon
the name and reputation of Franchisor and the goodwill associated with the QUIZNO'S.
name and Marks." Failure to compiy with @ specification for a core menu item, particularly
one that is the subject of 2 current national marketing campaign, certainly detracts ‘rom
‘and adversely reflects upon Quiznos.
= Section 11.1(b) provides that the “Franchisee will conduct itself and operate its Restaurant
in compliance with al! applicable laws ... and in such a manner so as to promote good
public image...." One of the outcomes of your failure to comply with the required
specification for an advertised product is that you are engaged in false and misleading
adverising. This is both a violation of applicable laws and an act which clearly does not
promote 2 good public image.

* Section 18.2 provides that “Franchisor shall have the right, atts option, to terminate this
‘Agreement and all rights granted to Franchisee, witnout affording Franchisee eny
‘opportunity to cure any default if Franchisees “engages in conduct that, in the sole
judgment of Franchisor, materially impairs the goodwill associated with the Marks." It is
‘our judgment that your failure to comply with product and system specifications in such a
significant and material way, as outined above, certainly impairs the goodwill associated
with the Quiznos brand and trademarks
In ight ofthe foregoing, in ight of the substantial way in which you have deviated from the required
specications, and in ight ofthe damage that your actons are causing to the Quiznos brand and to
all of your fellow Quiznos franchise owners, alin complete disregard of recent written warnings, we
