7.2. Payment. The License Fee for each Restaurant shall he paid in monthly installments in
arrears by electronic funds transfer of immediately available funds based on the Gross Sales of each

financial publication selected by the Franchisor in its reasonable discretion listing such exchange rate).
The Franchisee will be responsible for costs and expenses of wire transfer or other form of electronic
funds transfer and all costs and expenses of currency applicable to all amounts payable to the Franchisor
