This Agreement does not grant to you the right or license to operate the Restaurant or to offer or sell any products or services described under this Agreement at or from any other location.

1.3 Relocation

If you are unable to continue the operation of the Restaurant at the Accepted Location because of the occurrence of a force majeure event (as described in Section 17.1.3(e)), then you may request our approval to relocate the Restaurant to another location in the Designated Territory, as that term is defined below, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any other relocation outside the Designated Territory or a relocation of the Restaurant not caused by force majeure shall also be subject to our prior approval and we reserve the right to withhold approval of any proposed relocation outside of the Designated Territory, in our sole discretion. If we elect to grant you the right to relocate the Restaurant, then you shall comply with the site selection and construction procedures set forth in Article 2. If the Restaurant will be relocated outside the Designated Territory, then you agree to pay us a relocation fee equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-current initial franchise fee. We shall issue a revised Attachment 1, in accordance with Section 1.2, to reflect the new address of the Accepted Location.

1.4 Designated Territory

Upon the execution of this Agreement or the determination of an Accepted Location, whichever occurs later, you will be assigned a designated geographical area (the "Designated Territory") that will be described in Attachment 1 hereto. You understand and acknowledge that if your Accepted Location is a Non-Traditional Site (as described in Section 1.5 below), you will not receive a Designated Territory. You further understand and acknowledge that the Designated Territory is not exclusive to you, and we may choose to exercise the rights reserved to us in Section 1.5 below.

controlling or under common control with such other entity) and us, we shall not establish or authorize any other person or entity, other than you, to establish a bb.q Chicken Franchised Business in the Designated Territory during the term of this Agreement and any extensions hereof, so long as you are not in default under this Agreement or this Agreement has not been terminated.

You further agree and acknowledge that the license granted hereby is only of one (1) Restaurant, only at the Accepted Location, or one (1) Food Truck, and only from within the boundaries of the Designated Territory. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, we reserve the right to open, operate or franchise bb.q Chicken outlets around, bordering, and adjacent to the Designated Territory.
