For those who desire to operate multiple Family Sports Pubs, we offer an area development franchise program, under which you will: (i) obtain the right to develop a specified minimum number of Family Sports Pubs (the "Minimum Development Quota") within a defined geographic area (a "Development Area") over a specified period of time (the "Development Schedule"), and (ii) sign an Area Development Agreement committing yourself to developing multiple Family Sports Pubs (in an amount necessary to satisfy the Minimum Development Quota in accordance with the Development Schedule) under our then-current form of Franchise Agreement, which may have materially different terms than the Franchise Agreement included in this offering (see the Area Development Agreement in Exhibit G).

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beef O Bradys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the area development franchise program is designed for those who want to operate multiple Family Sports Pubs. As part of this program, the franchisee gains the right to develop a specific minimum number of Beef O Bradys restaurants, referred to as the "Minimum Development Quota."
The "Development Area" is defined as a specific geographic area within which the franchisee is authorized to develop these restaurants. The franchisee also agrees to a "Development Schedule," which is a timeline for meeting the Minimum Development Quota.
The Area Development Agreement commits the franchisee to developing the required number of Beef O Bradys restaurants according to the Development Schedule. The franchise agreement in the area development program may have terms that differ from the standard franchise agreement for a single unit.
