For Bojangles, if a capitalized term is not defined in the addendum to the Development Agreement, where can its meaning be found?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, specifically within the context of the Development Agreement and its addenda, any capitalized terms not explicitly defined in the addendum itself will derive their meaning from the original Development Agreement. This is a standard clause to ensure that the core agreement remains the primary source of definitions and interpretations.

For a prospective Bojangles developer, this means that understanding the Development Agreement is crucial. When reviewing the addendum, any unfamiliar capitalized terms should be cross-referenced with the definitions provided in the Development Agreement. This ensures clarity and avoids potential misunderstandings regarding obligations, rights, and responsibilities.

This clause also reinforces that the addendum serves as a modification, not a replacement, of the original agreement. Except for the specific modifications outlined in the addendum, all other terms and conditions of the Development Agreement remain in full effect. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the Development Agreement is essential for any developer to fully grasp their contractual obligations with Bojangles.
