NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

  1. GRANT AND ACCEPTANCE OF FRANCHISE. Company hereby grants to Franchisee, and Franchisee hereby accepts from Company, a nonexclusive right, license and franchise to establish and operate a B-Bop's Restaurant (the "Franchise") at the following location only:

Street and Number
City, State and Zip

(the "Franchise Premises"), and to use only in connection therewith the Licensed System and Licensed Marks, together with such other confidential and valuable information and trade secrets as may now or hereafter exist and constitute a portion of the Licensed System, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Franchisee agrees to establish, maintain, operate and promote the Franchise in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and with Company's standards, policies and procedures as prescribed from time to time by Company in the confidential operations manual provided by Company (the "Operations Manual"). Franchisee may not directly or indirectly subfranchise, sublicense or in any other manner authorize any other person to own or operate a B-Bop's Restaurant or to utilize in any manner all or any portion of the Licensed System or the Licensed Marks. Franchisee acknowledges that the rights granted hereunder are limited to operation of a B-Bop's Restaurant on the Franchise Premises exclusively and that Franchisee shall have no right to operate a B-Bop's Restaurant at any other location, whether on a permanent or temporary basis.

    1. TERM. The term of this Agreement and of the nonexclusive right, license and franchise granted hereunder shall commence upon the effective date of this Agreement and shall continue until the fifteenth (15th) anniversary thereof, or until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof, whichever shall first occur (hereinafter the "Term"). Franchisee agrees to operate the Franchise on a continual basis throughout the Term, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any renewal of the Franchise shall be governed by Section 18 of this Agreement.

Where Franchisee has exhibited due diligence in complying with this Section 4, Company may, in its sole discretion, consent to an extension of the eight (8) month time period specified herein. Company shall not unreasonably withhold its consent when the delay results from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Franchisee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee acknowledges the benefits of the company's information, experience, advice, and guidance and agrees to several obligations to protect the confidential information provided. The franchisee must operate the B Bops Restaurant according to the standards, policies, and procedures that B Bops prescribes, as detailed in the confidential operations manual. The franchisee is not allowed to subfranchise or authorize anyone else to operate a B Bops Restaurant using the Licensed System or Licensed Marks. The franchisee's rights are limited to operating the restaurant at the specified Franchise Premises.

B Bops requires that the franchisee keep the disclosed confidential information private and use it only for operating their B Bops franchise. The franchisee cannot share this information with anyone, make unauthorized copies of written confidential materials, or use the information in any other business. The franchisee must also implement any procedures B Bops prescribes to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, including requiring managerial employees to sign non-disclosure and non-compete agreements. These confidentiality obligations remain even after the franchise agreement ends.

During the term of the agreement, the franchisee (including its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees, and agents) cannot be involved in any business that is the same as or substantially similar to a B Bops Restaurant, except for other B Bops Restaurants they own under a franchise agreement with the company. This ensures that the franchisee's focus remains on the B Bops franchise and prevents them from using the franchisor's confidential information and systems to compete with the B Bops brand.
