This Disclosure Document offers two basic types of franchises for Family Sports Pubs - unit franchises and area development franchises. For those who wish to operate a single Family Sports Pub, we offer a unit franchise program, under which you will: (i) obtain the right to operate Family Sports Pub using the System and the Mark and (ii) sign a Franchise Agreement committing yourself to operate one Family Sports Pub (see the Franchise Agreement in Exhibit H). 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).
