I authorize the procurement of an investigative consumer report, a general background search and an investigation in accordance with anti-terrorism legislation, such as the USA Patriot Act and Executive Order 13224 enacted by the US Government (collectively referred to as "Investigations"). I understand that these Investigations may reveal information about my background, character, general reputation, mode of living, association with other individuals or entities, creditworthiness, litigation history and job performance. I understand that, upon written request, within a reasonable period of time, I am entitled to additional information concerning the nature and scope of these Investigations. I hereby release a representative of the Franchisor, a credit bureau, security consultant or other investigative service provider selected by the Franchisor, its officers, agents, employees, and/or servants from any liability arising from the preparation of these Investigations.

This authorization for release of information includes but is not limited to matters of opinion relating to my character, ability, reputation, association with others and past performance. I authorize all persons, schools, companies, corporations, credit bureaus, law enforcement agencies or other investigative service providers to release such information without restriction or qualification to a representative of the Franchisor, a credit bureau, security consultant or other investigative service provider selected by the Franchisor and any of its officers, agents, employees and/or servants.
