nter and décor for you to use in designing the layout for the Franchised Location. You are required to obtain our approval of your choice of colors and furniture. We will provide you a rough shoppe workflow layout and equipment schedule after you have entered into the letter of intent ("LOI") for your Franchised Location at or about the time you sign the lease, provided that you have entered into the Franchise Agreement prior to signing the lease and we are provided with sufficient information about the space to assist with creating a layout of the space. You must consult with us, and we must approve your shoppe layout, equipment layout, mechanical drawings, and construction documents, which cannot be changed without our prior written approval. You must, at your expense, construct, convert, design, decorate and furnish the Franchised Location in accordance with the final plans and specifications we have approved. You are required to prepare final architectural drawings for our approval based on our standards and specifications. We must approve the drawings prepared by your selected architect submitting to us the final drawings of the layout and proposed improvements to the Franchised Location for our review and approval before those materials are submitted for permitting and construction begins. The approval by us of drawings, layout, or other construction documents related to the Franchised Location does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement or guarantee by us of the suitability or profitability of the location, layout, or design of your Franchised Location. You cannot change the plans once we approve them, without our prior written approval. If you change the plans or the construction of your shoppe without our knowledge or prior written approval, we may require you to conform your shoppe to the approved plans before you can open the shoppe for business to the public. We may require you to use the services of a company that will supervise the buildout of your Bambū shoppe if, in our sole discretion, we determine that the architect or contractor that you intend to use has insufficient knowledge and experience to build a Bambū shoppe.

If you have already signed a lease or sublease, you have already purchased a location for your shoppe, or you are upfitting or adding a Bambū shoppe to a current restaurant location when you sign the Franchise Agreement, our execution of the Franchise Agreement does not imply that we approve of any particular location.
