DISCLOSURE REGARDING BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION*

Gatti’s Pizza ("the Company") may obtain information about you for franchising purposes from the following consumer reporting agency ("Agency"), Accurate Public Records, P.O. Box 72185, Albany, GA 31708, Phone: (229) 869-5831, Fax: (229) 869-5831, or another outside organization. Agency's privacy policy can be found at Accuratepublicrecords.com.

Thus, you may be the subject of a "consumer report" and/or an "investigative consumer report" which may include information about your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and/or mode of living, and which can involve personal interviews with sources such as your neighbors, friends, or associates. These reports may be obtained at any time after receipt of your authorization and, if you are accepted, throughout your time as a franchisee. These reports may include, but are not limited to, checks regarding your criminal history, social security trace, employment and education references, driving history, professional licenses and credentials. Credit history will be requested only in accordance with applicable law. These reports may contain information regarding your use of social media, and other publicly accessible information. Social media includes, but is not limited to, social networking websites (i.e., Facebook and others), professional networking websites (i.e., LinkedIn and others), blogs, and other online media.

You have the right, upon written request made within a reasonable time after receipt of this notice, to ask the Company to disclose the nature and scope of any investigative consumer report. You also may request a copy of that report from the Company. If anyone other than Agency furnishes an investigative consumer report, Company will provide relevant contact information within five business days of your request. An "investigative consumer report" is a background report that includes information from personal interviews (except in California, where that term includes background reports with or without personal interviews). Please be advised that the nature and scope of the most common form of investigative consumer report obtained with regard to applicants for franchising is an investigation into your education and/or employment history conducted by Agency. The scope of this disclosure and authorization is all encompassing, however, allowing Company to obtain from any outside organization all manner of consumer reports and investigative consumer reports now and, if you are accepted, throughout your time as a franchisee to the extent permitted by law. As a result, you should carefully consider whether to exercise your right to request disclosure of the nature and scope of any investigative consumer report.

Minnesota applicants only: You have the right, upon written request to Agency, to receive a complete and accurate disclosure of the nature and scope of any consumer report. Agency must make this disclosure within five days of receipt of your request or of the Company's request for the report, whichever is later.

New York applicants only: You have the right to request whether Company requested a consumer report and, if so, Company will give you the name and address of the report's provider if other than Agency.
