If, during the term of the Franchise Agreement, you wish to relocate your Restaurant, or if the Restaurant is damaged or destroyed and cannot be repaired within 60 days, you must submit to us in writing the materials we require to consider your request, including information concerning the proposed new location for the Restaurant. You must also meet certain other requirements, such as being in compliance with the Franchise Agreement, the location meets our then-current requirements for a Restaurant and is located within your Designated Territory, and you must sign our then-current form of Franchise Agreement. If we permit you to relocate inside the boundaries of your Designated Territory, you will not pay a new initial franchise fee when you sign the new Franchise Agreement, and we will not charge a relocation fee. If you request to relocate outside your Designated Territory, you will pay to us a relocation fee equal to 100% of the then-current initial franchise fee.
