In consideration of the development rights granted by Company hereunder, Developer agrees to pay Company by certified or cashier's check the development fee specified in Appendix III attached hereto upon execution of this Agreement. Such fee shall be deemed fully earned upon execution of this Agreement and shall not be refundable to Developer under any circumstances.

    1. 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.

    1. 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. Developer shall execute the Unit Franchise Agreement in accordance with Company's instructions within twenty (20) days of receipt thereof and return it, together with the initial franchise fee payable for the Unit (as specified in Appendix III), to Company. In the event Developer fails to return the Unit Franchise Agreement and the initial franchise fee to Company within such twenty (20) day period, Company's approval of the site shall be null and void and Developer shall have no rights with respect to such site. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of the Unit Franchise Agreement executed for the Unit developed pursuant to this Agreement shall govern and control the franchise relationship for each such Unit, except to the extent that such terms and conditions conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, in which event the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of each Unit Franchise Agreement executed pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration and termination of this Agreement.
    1. PROCUREMENT OF SITE AND CONSTRUCTION OF UNIT. Upon receipt of Company's approval of a proposed site, Developer shall immediately take the necessary steps to acquire the site (by purchase, lease or sublease) and obtain the rights to construct and operate a Unit on the site. As soon as practicable after procuring the site, Developer agrees to commence construction of the Unit in accordance with the terms of the Unit Franchise Agreement executed for such Unit, provided, however, that the Development Schedule imposed herein shall be in lieu of the terms of such Unit Franchise Agreement governing the time periods for construction and opening of the Unit.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Developer is granted the exclusive right to develop B Bops Restaurants in a specific geographic area, known as the "Trade Area," provided they adhere to a mutually agreed-upon "Development Schedule." The Developer is obligated to develop, construct, and open B Bops Restaurants within the Trade Area according to this schedule and the terms of the Development Agreement. The Developer must also develop, own, operate, maintain, and promote each B Bops Restaurant (referred to as a "Unit") in accordance with the terms and conditions of B Bops's standard franchise agreement, known as the "Unit Franchise Agreement," which the Developer must execute. B Bops agrees not to establish or license any third party to establish a B Bops Restaurant in the Trade Area while the Development Agreement is in effect.

Upon approval of a proposed site, B Bops grants the Developer the right to own and operate a B Bops Restaurant at that location, assuming the Developer complies with the Development Agreement and all Unit Franchise Agreements. B Bops will provide the Developer with a Unit Franchise Agreement for the approved site, which the Developer must execute and return with the initial franchise fee within twenty days. Failure to do so will void the site approval. The terms of the Unit Franchise Agreement will govern the franchise relationship for each Unit, except where they conflict with the Development Agreement, in which case the Development Agreement prevails. The Unit Franchise Agreements remain in effect even after the Development Agreement expires or terminates.

The Developer must submit a written report for each proposed site within the Trade Area, including any information B Bops reasonably requests. B Bops will review the materials and approve or reject the site within thirty days, and this approval will not be unreasonably withheld. The company will also advise if indoor seating is required. The Developer cannot enter into any binding agreement for the lease or purchase of a site before receiving written approval from B Bops. The Developer acknowledges that B Bops's approval does not guarantee the site's success, and the Developer assumes all risks associated with the location.

The Developer is prohibited from engaging in any business substantially similar to a B Bops Restaurant during the term of the agreement, except for Units owned under a Unit Franchise Agreement. For two years following the termination or expiration of the Development Agreement, the Developer is restricted from engaging in a similar business within the Trade Area or within a 20-mile radius of any B Bops Restaurant, unless they continue to operate a Unit under a Unit Franchise Agreement. A business is considered "substantially similar" if it serves any food items that are standard menu items at B Bops. The development rights are personal to the Developer, and the agreement cannot be transferred without B Bops's prior written approval. Upon termination or expiration of the agreement, the development rights become void, and the Developer must cease any further site development efforts. B Bops retains the right to establish or license others to establish B Bops Restaurants in the Trade Area, except as limited by any existing Unit Franchise Agreements.
