provided for in the Agreement; or (b) for each month from the date of termination of the
Agreement through
the end of the term provided in t¡-ie Agreement, the actual average royalty fee paid but not less than the minimum royalty fee for any months that the Store
was operational prior to the termination of the Agreement." The amount owed to
BPWCP is $235,000.00. This sum shall be immediately due and payable. You shall
also be held answerable for all other damages due BPWCP under the Agreements and
applicable law.

and the remedies and relief available to, francrusors and franchisees under that title. The Deparent published ths
su in the Federal Register on Augut 30,1978.43 F.R. 38743 (1978).
In 1994 the Congress enacted the Petroleum Marketig Practices Act Amendments to affin and clarfy certain key provisions of the 1978 statute. Among the key issues addressed in the 1994 amendments are: (1) ternation or
nonrenewal of franchised dealers by their franchisors for purposes of conversion to "company" operation; (2)
applicatioD. of state law; (3) the rights and obligations of franchisors and franchisees in thd-parr lease situatioD.; and (4) waiver of rights limitations. See H.R. REP, NO. 737, 103rd Cong., 2nd Sess. '2 (1994), reprinted in 1994

has an option to continue the lease or to purchase the premises but does rrot wish to do so, the franchisor must offer to assign the option to the franchisee; (3) make clear that no franchisor may require, as a condition of entering or renewig a francruse agreement, that a franchisee waive ,any rights UDder the Petro leum Marketing Practices Act, .any
other Federal law, or any state law; and
(4) reconfir the limted scope o.fFederal preemptiorr under the Act. Id.
The suury wruch follows reflects key changes to the statute resuJting from the 1994 amendments. The Act
. requires francrusors to give copies of this summry statement to their franchisees when enterig into an agreement to termate the franchise or not to renew the franchise relationship, and when giving nonfication of termation or nonrenewal. This sumry does not purort to interpret the Act, as amended, or to create new legal rignlS.
ll adctrion to the sum of the provisions of Title 1, a more detailed descnption of the defintions contaIned in
the Act and of the legal remedies available to franchisees is also included in this notice, following the summry
statement.
Sum of Legal RigbT. of Motor Fuel Franchisees
11 -is a sum of thefrançhise proiection provisions of the Federal Petroleum Marketing Pracoces Act, as
amended in 1994 (the Act), 15 U.s c. §§ 2801.2806. This sum must be given to you, as a person holding a
franchie for the sale, consignent or distrbution of gasolie or diesel motor fuel, in commecrion wwth any
temmtion or nonrenewal of your frao.chise by your franchising company (referred to in this sumry as your
supplier)-
You should read, this summar¡ carefully, and refer to the Act if necessar.¡, .to detemue whether a proposed
tennaoon or nonrenewal of your franchise is lawf, and what legal remedies are available to you if ;.ou th the
proposed ter.ation or failure to renew is not la-.l. In addition, if you t\ your supplier has failed to comply
with the Act, you may wish to cODSult an attorney in order to enforce your legal rights.
The franchise protection provisions of the Act apply to a varety of franchise agreements. The term "franchise" is broadly defied as a license to use a motor fuel trademak which is o\\'Ded or controlled by a refier, and ii includes seconda argeroenT. such as leases of real propert and motor fuel supply agreements which have existed of a trademark. Thus, if you have lost the contiuously since May ,15, 1973, regardless of a subsequent withdrawal
use of a trademark previously grted by your supplier but have contiued to receive motor fuel supplies though'a
contiuation of a supply agreement with your supplier, you are protected under the Act. -
ADy issue aring under your Eranchise which is notgovemed by ths Act win be governed by the law of the State in which the pricipal place of business of your franchise is located.
Although a State may specify the tenn and conditions UDder which' your franchise may be transferred upon the
death of the franchisee, it may not require a payment to you (the franchiee) for the goodwill of a frncn¡se upon'
termtion or nonrenewal.
The Act is intended to protect you, whether you are a distrbutor or a retailer, from arbitrar or discriminatory
temation or nonrenewal of your franchie agreement. To accomplish this, the Acl first lists the reasons for which termtion or nonrenewal is permtted. Any notice of termnation or nonrenewaJ must state the precise reason, as listed in the Act, for which the parcular temmation or nonrenewal is being made. These reasons are described below under the headings "Reasons for Ternnation" and "Reasons for Nonrenewal."
The Act also requires your supplier to give you a wrtten notice of termatton or intention not to renew the
franchie with certain tie periods. These requireroenT. are sunarized below under the headig "Notice
ReqwremenlS for Temmatlon or Nonrenewal."
The Act also provides certain special reqwreroents with regard to tral and interim franchise agreemenlS, which are
described below under the heading "Trial and Interi
FraDchises."
