Any modifications to the Project Manual require B Bops's consent, and the person making the modifications must assign their rights to the modified Project Manual back to B Bops.
Furthermore, under the Development Agreement, prospective franchisees do not have the right to review or use the Project Manual until a franchise agreement is executed.
