Besides the modifications in the addendum, what is the status of the original Bojangles Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Bojangles Franchise Disclosure Document, the addenda to the franchise agreements state that, except as expressly modified by the addendum, the original franchise agreement remains unmodified and in full force and effect. This applies to the Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement for franchisees in New York, and the Bojangles Renewal Franchise Agreement for franchisees in Rhode Island.

For franchisees in Minnesota, the addendum forms an integral part of, and is incorporated into, the Express Franchise Agreement. This means that the provisions of the addendum are considered part of the original agreement, and both documents should be read together. The addendum modifies specific sections of the Express Franchise Agreement, such as Sections VII.B. and XV.B.(3)(c), by adding sentences that provide additional protections and compliance with Minnesota statutes.

Similarly, for franchisees in North Dakota, the addendum forms an integral part of, and is incorporated into, the Franchise Agreement. This indicates that the addendum's provisions are integrated into the original agreement, and both documents should be considered together. The addendum addresses specific concerns raised by the North Dakota Securities Commissioner regarding restrictive covenants, arbitration proceedings, forum restrictions, liquidated damages, applicable laws, and waiver of trial by jury.
