You are solely responsible for the financial risks and rewards related to the location. We also have the right, but not the obligation, to review and to approve or disapprove any lease for the Restaurant premises. You and the landlord must execute the Conditional Assignment of Lease form attached as Exhibit H to this disclosure document. You must construct and equip your Restaurant in accordance with our then-current approved design, specifications, and standards.
