NOTICE RE ORAL
ARGUMENT

JAN-PRO FRANCHISING
INTERNATIONAL, INC,

Plaintiffs’ agreements with their respective regional master franchisees do not set aside

18

any rights on behalf of Jan-Pro Franchising International, Inc., incorporate-by-reference the

19

regional master franchisees’ agreements with Jan-Pro, or otherwise indicate that Jan-Pro is a

20

third-party beneficiary of those agreements. Plaintiffs’ assertions that Jan-Pro maintains a right

21

of control over them all cite to the regional master franchisee’s agreements with Jan-Pro (to

22

which our plaintiffs are not parties) with Jan-Pro or excerpt portions of their agreements with

23

the regional master franchisees in which “Jan-Pro” is defined as the regional master franchisee,

24

not as our defendant. Neither side directly addresses this discrepancy or how it bears on our

25

case in their briefs. Both sides shall please be prepared to address it at oral argument.
