In the context of the Bojangles addendum, when is the addendum entered into relative to the Renewal Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Bojangles Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the Bojangles Renewal Franchise Agreement is entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Renewal Franchise Agreement. This means that the addendum and the renewal agreement are signed and become effective at the same time.

For franchisees in certain states like Rhode Island, New York, and North Dakota, Bojangles requires specific addenda to their Renewal Franchise Agreements. These addenda address state-specific legal requirements and ensure compliance with local franchise laws. For example, the Rhode Island addendum addresses the Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act, while the North Dakota addendum addresses issues such as restrictive covenants and arbitration proceedings.

The addendum forms an integral part of the Renewal Franchise Agreement, with its provisions incorporated directly into the agreement. Any capitalized terms not defined in the addendum will have the same meaning as in the Renewal Franchise Agreement. Except where explicitly modified by the addendum, the original Renewal Franchise Agreement remains in full effect.

Bojangles allows the addendum to be executed in multiple counterparts, which, when combined, form a single agreement. Furthermore, the document allows for the delivery of executed signature pages via electronic transmission, including electronic signature platforms or scanned PDF documents, which is considered as effective as delivering a manually executed counterpart.
