We may add to, delete from or modify the services, products, equipment, programs and other items which you can and must offer from your Family Sports Pub and may otherwise modify the System in any way we so determine in our sole discretion. You must abide by any such additions, deletions and modifications. There are no limits on our rights to make these changes.
Such modifications may obligate you to invest additional capital into your Family Sports Pub (“Capital Modifications”) and/or cause you to incur higher operating costs.
You are obligated to comply with all modifications to System Standards, including Capital Modifications, within the time period we specify.
We agree to give you up to 90 days to comply with Capital Modifications we require.
However, if a Capital Modification requires an expenditure of more than $20,000 we agree to give you up to 180 days from the date such request is made to comply with such Capital Modification.
In no event will we require you to spend in any 12-month period in excess of 25% of the total high-end Item 7 expenditure estimates set forth in this Disclosure Document for "Equipment," "Furniture, Fixtures & Millwork," "Audio and Video Equipment," "Leasehold Improvements," and "Signage", combined, from our Franchise Disclosure Document during the term of this Agreement in connection with Capital Modifications.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, we reserve the right to require you to make any Capital Modifications in order to re-image your Family Sports Pub when at least 75% of the Beef 'O' Brady's System has already adopted such new re-image.
