o this Agreement.
-
- SITE SELECTION. Developer acknowledges that Developer shall be responsible to select and secure a site acceptable to Company for the location of each Unit to be developed
pursuant to this Agreement. Developer agrees to submit a written report to Company of each proposed site for a Unit in the Trade Area, containing such information or material as Company may reasonably request. Company shall review the submitted materials, conduct such other investigation of the proposed site it determines may be necessary to properly evaluate the same and, in its sole discretion, either approve or reject such site by written notice to Developer within thirty (30) days after receipt of such materials, but such approval is not to be unreasonably withheld. If the proposed site is approved, the Company will also advise you, within the same thirty (30) day period, whether or not you will be required to include indoor seating in the construction and operation of the B-Bop's Restaurant. Developer agrees that Developer will not enter into any binding agreement with respect to lease or purchase of a proposed site prior to receiving Company's written approval of such site. Developer acknowledges and agrees that approval of a proposed site by Company does not constitute a representation or warranty by Company that such site, with or without indoor seating, will prove to be a successful location for the Unit, and Developer assumes all risks associated with establishing the Unit at such location.

- EXECUTION OF UNIT FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. Upon approval of a proposed site, Company shall grant Developer the right and license to own and operate a B-Bop's Restaurant at such site, provided that Developer is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of all Unit Franchise Agreements between the parties. Subject to the foregoing, Company shall forward to Developer a Unit Franchise Agreement to be executed with respect to the approved site. The Unit Franchise Agreement shall be the standard form of franchise agreement being utilized by Company to grant franchises at the time of development of each Unit.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after receiving approval for a proposed site, the Developer must take the necessary steps to acquire the site. This can be done through purchase, lease, or sublease. The Developer must also obtain the rights to construct and operate a B Bops unit on the site.
Once the site is secured, the Developer is expected to begin construction of the unit as soon as possible. This construction should align with the terms outlined in the Unit Franchise Agreement. However, the Development Schedule specified in the Multiple-Unit Development Agreement takes precedence over any conflicting terms in the Unit Franchise Agreement regarding construction and opening timelines.
Prior to entering into any binding agreement for the lease or purchase of a site, the Developer must receive written approval from B Bops. It is the Developer's responsibility to select and secure a site that is acceptable to B Bops for each unit to be developed. The FDD also states that B Bops' approval of a site does not guarantee the success of the location, and the Developer assumes all risks associated with establishing the unit at that location.
