NOTES

(1) Unless otherwise noted, all fees are imposed by and payable to us, are non-refundable and are uniformly imposed on our franchisees who receive this disclosure document. During fiscal year 2014, however, in limited circumstances, certain franchisees paid fees that varied from those identified in this table. Specifically, we accepted a reduced GB renewal fee from one franchisee.

(2) The royalty fee is 4% of Gross Sales. However, if you purchase the Franchised Restaurant from us, we may charge a higher royalty fee, up to 6% of Gross Sales. We will advise you of the applicable royalty before you purchase the Franchised Restaurant.

On occasion, we may consider reducing the royalty fee to fit a particular concern, taking into account a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, where a franchisee agrees to develop a significant number of Franchised Restaurants, a franchisee agrees to significantly accelerate his historical development patterns, a franchisee agrees to develop Franchised Restaurants in a new territory, a franchisee agrees to develop Dual Concept Restaurants or convert existing Carl's Jr. Restaurants to Dual Concept Restaurants, or a franchisee proposes to develop unique sites. If we agree to a reduction in the royalty fee, the reduction likely would be between 1% and 4% of the Gross Sales of the Franchised Restaurant for up to the first 3 years of operation of the Franchised Restaurant. During fiscal year 2014, a number of franchisees continued to pay a reduced royalty under a previously offered incentive program.

In addition, if the Franchise Agreement is terminated following your default, you must pay us the net present value of the royalty fee that you would have paid during the balance of the initial term ofthe Franchise Agreement but for the termination (calculated based on the average weekly royalty fee that you owed for the prior 52 weeks multiplied by the number of weeks remaining in the initial term).

YOUR ESTIMATED INITIAL INVESTMENT TO CONVERT AN EXISTING CARL'S JR. RESTAURANT TO A DUAL CONCEPT RESTAURANT

If you currently operate a Carl's Jr. Restaurant, the following table estimates your initial investment to convert your existing Carl's Jr. Restaurant to a Dual Concept Restaurant. These costs do not include any additional improvements required by CJR to upgrade your Carl's Jr. Restaurant. Since the Dual Concept Restaurant will be operated at the same location as your Carl's Jr. Restaurant, there will be no additional costs to obtain real property.

NOTES

(1) The table reflects a low-high range of costs for each of the major costs categories of the initial investment.

(2) Costs paid to CJR (other than the Commitment Fee and the Training Fees, which are described in Item 5) are not refundable. Whether any costs paid to third parties are refundable will vary based on the practice in the area where your Franchised Restaurant is located.

(3) The amount of the Initial Franchise Fee and Opening Training Support Fee and the manner in which those fees are paid are explained in detail in Item 5.

(4) We expect that you will buy or lease unimproved property and construct the Franchised Restaurant. Typically, 32,000 to 44,000 square feet of land is needed for the Franchised Restaurant and adjacent parking facilities. Local building codes may require that the Franchised Restaurant be placed on a larger lot. The cost of commercial land, whether you lease or buy, may vary considerably depending upon the location and conditions affecting the market for commercial property. The purchase of unimproved property of the size required may range from $650,000 to $1,100,000 or more. The rent for unimproved property may range from $4,000 to $15,000 or more per month or approximately 10% per year of the fair market or agreed upon land value. You may be required to pay the first and last months' lease payment upon signing your lease agreement.

Lease payments made by you to third party lessors may vary greatly depending on the property size, type of transaction and location. Lease agreements for the land may include the following expenses: taxes, insurance, maintenance, fixed rent (with escalations), percentage rent and other charges related to the operation of the Franchised Restaurant.

(5) These figures are for a free-standing building and do include site preparation for the building only. HVAC installation only is included in the building cost. These figures do not include the extra cost for the addition of a cash window in conjunction with a single or double drive through lane which would add from $65,000 to $115,000 in costs.

(6) Site costs include all required work to provide fill and compaction, curb cuts, parking lot curbs and gutters, sidewalks, drive thru lanes, landscaping and irrigation, site electrical and lighting, grease interceptor and utility runs. See Note 7 with respect to off-site costs.

(7) You should check with the relevant regulatory agencies to identify costs for required building permits, impact fees, taxes, bonds, licenses and other fees, which can vary dramatically depending on the location. There may also be off site costs,, such as intersection improvements or street widening that where required have a major impact on costs.

(8) You must purchase certain items of furniture, fixtures, equipment, including point of sale equipment, and smallwares. All items purchased through HED, as discussed in Item 8, must be paid in full. You may be able to lease from or finance through a third party a portion of these purchases, but you

(tO) In addition to anyTrainingFees^^ttem 5), you must pay the costs of transportation, lodging and food for yourselfand your employees during training. The amount ofthese expenses will depend on the distanceyoumust travel, type ofaccommodations,thenumher of your employees attending training and their wages.

(tt) These costs include uniforms, office supplies and other prepaid expenses. This range also includes $6,000to$19,000 fortheinitial inventory of food and paper foraCarl'sJr Restaurant. These costs donot includeutility deposits, installation oftelephones,husinesslicensesorcleaningsupplies, which are not substantial.

As described in Item ft, CJR will reimburse you up to $5,000 for grand opening advertising expenditures that you make during tbe period from 30 days before the Franchised Restaurant opens until 90 days after opening. Tbose expenditures must be pre-approved by CJR and comply with tbe requirements in tbe Franchise Agreement for local advertising, and you must provide written proof to CJR of tbe advertising and tbe cost for that advertising no later thanl20 days after the Franchised Restaurant opens.

(t2) These figures are an estimate of your operating expenses for tbe initial3months of business.They include payroll, taxes, insurance, food, paper, supplies, utilities, licenses and permits, bank charges and repair and maintenance expenses. They do not include advertising or royalty payments made to us. These figures are estimates, and CJR cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses starting tbe business. Your costs will depend on factors suchas: the size of your Franchised Restaurant; how closely you follow CJR's methods and procedures; your management skill, experience and business acumen; financing costs; local economic conditions; the local market for restaurants;tbe prevailing wage rate;competition;and the sales level reached during thein^ period.

O^) This category includes food preparation equipment,Creen Burrito menu board extension, and Creen Burrito window signs.

(16) These figures include smallwares, uniforms and increased food waste.

(17) We are unable to estimate the additional funds you might need during the first 3 months of operation. Since you previously operated a Carl's Jr. Restaurant at the same location as the Franchised Restaurant, you are aware of the sales levels attained and the costs incurred prior to conversion.

You will, however, likely incur costs for business licenses^ utility deposits, insurances and, depending on tbe condition ofthe Restaurant and the equipment that you purchase, you may incur additionalcostsinconnectionwitb. among other things, repairs to theRestaurant. These costs will vary by city and by restaurant.

ITEM 10 FINANCING

We do not offer direct financing to our franchisees. We have, however, elected to participate in a non-exclusive national lending program ("Program") implemented by Franchise America Finance LLC ("FAF") in conjunction with The Bancorp Bank ("Bancorp"). Through the Program, Bancorp offers streamlined Small Business Administration ("SBA") financing to qualified franchisees for new restaurant development, remodels, conversions from Carl's Jr. Restaurants to Dual Concept Restaurants and purchases of existing Carl's Jr. Restaurants.

A sample copy ofthe Loan Documents typically used in conjunction with the Program is attached as Exhibit QT. These include a sample Security Agreement, U.S. Small Business Administration Note, Unconditional Guarantee, Mortgage and Deed of Trust.

Below is a summary of the loan terms offered by the Program. Your ability to obtain a loan will depend on a number of factors including current market conditions, your credit history and your personal financial condition. Bancorp will ultimately determine whether you qualify for a loan and the precise terms of any loan you receive. In order to make this indirect financing available to our franchisees, our predecessor paid Bancorp an initial Program Fee of $25,000 and, upon the closing of each loan, we will pay Bancorp an amount equal to 0.5% of each loan for new development.

The information presented is unaudited and was prepared using uniform accounting methods consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and on a basis consistent with those included in our annual audited consolidated financial statements. All Restaurants operated by us or our predecessor used the same accounting methods and system.

The information contained in this Item 19 should not be considered to be the actual or probable sales and expenses that you will realize. Your results will likely differ from the results contained in this Item 19. Performance varies from restaurant to restaurant and the information above cannot be used to make estimates related to future performance of any particular restaurant. Your performance will be significantly impacted by your personal business, marketing and management skills, your financial investment capabilities, and your willingness to work hard and follow the Carl's Jr. System and GB Dual Concept System (if applicable). Many factors that may significantly impact financial performance are unique to each restaurant, including location, physical size and layout, market penetration, local market conditions and other factors. Neither our predecessor nor us represent that you will attain these financial results. If you are purchasing the assets of existing company-operated Restaurants, you should not rely on the information set forth above, but should instead review the actual performance of the Restaurants being purchased.

Written substantiation of the financial performance information will be made available to you upon reasonable request. However, we will disclose the identity, revenue or other items of income or expense of any particular Restaurant operated by us only in connection with the sale of that Restaurant.

You are responsible for developing your own business plan for your Restaurant, including capital budgets, financial statements, projections and other elements appropriate to your particular circumstances. We encourage you to consult with your own accounting, business and legal advisors and to make necessary allowances for changes in financial results to income, expenses or both. You should conduct an independent investigation of the costs and expenses you will incur in operating your Restaurant. Franchisees or former franchisees listed in the disclosure document may be one source of this information.

Other than the preceding financial performance representation, we do not make any financial performance representations. We also do not_authorize our employees or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor's management by contacting William R. Werner, Senior Vice President, Legal, 100 N. Broadway, Suite 1200, St. Louis, MO 63102, (314) 259-6200, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
