Specifically, the table provided in Item 8 lists 'Transfer' as an obligation and indicates that it is covered in Section IX of the Development Agreement (DA). This means that if a franchisee who has signed a Development Agreement wants to transfer their rights or obligations under that agreement, they would need to refer to Section IX for the specific requirements and procedures.
It is important for prospective Bojangles franchisees to carefully review Section IX of the Development Agreement to understand the conditions under which a transfer is permitted, any restrictions that may apply, and the process for obtaining the franchisor's approval. This knowledge is crucial for franchisees planning for future business transitions or changes in ownership.
