8. YOUR DUTIES

You must fulfill all of your pre-opening obligations and open your franchised Bonchon Business to the general public no later than 300 days (or 210 days, if you will be operating a Remote Kitchen Restaurant) following the Effective Date or on or before the Scheduled Opening Date specified in Exhibit A, whichever is earlier (the "Scheduled Opening Date").

You will not be allowed to open your Bonchon Restaurant without our written approval, which we will not unreasonably withhold. In order to obtain our approval to open, you must: obtain all required state, local and other required government certifications, permits and licenses (including, if you will sell liquor, a liquor license), furnish to us copies of all such required permits and licenses; furnish to us copies of all insurance policies required under this Agreement; attend and successfully complete our Initial Training Program or Partner Training Program (as applicable) to our satisfaction (as provided in this Agreement); pay us or our affiliates any amounts due through the date that you request our approval to open; not be in default under any agreement with us or any affiliate of ours; not be in default under, but instead be current with, all contracts or agreements with your principal vendors, suppliers and other business creditors (including the lessor or sublessor of your Restaurant Location, us and our affiliates); and, otherwise comply in all respects with the pre-opening obligations set forth in this Agreement and/or our Manuals or other written notices we may furnish to you. In addition, before you may open your Restaurant, you must meet minimum stated staffing requirements at least five days prior to the start of training and pass a pre-opening inspection that we will conduct prior to the on-site opening training and assistance that we provide upon the opening of your Restaurant.

You must submit to us a request to open your Restaurant. Once we receive your request, we will notify you in writing whether or not the Restaurant meets our standards and specifications. If we approve your request to open your Restaurant, our acceptance is not a representation or warranty, express or implied, that the Restaurant/ complies with any engineering, licensing, environmental, labor, health, building, fire, sanitation, occupational, landlord's, insurance, safety, tax, governmental, or other statutes, rules, regulations, requirements, or recommendations nor a waiver of our right to require continuing compliance with our requirements, standards, or policies.

8.02 Manner of Operation

Your franchised Business and the Bonchon Restaurant it operates must comply at all times with every provision of this Agreement, the Bonchon System, the Manuals and any Supplements to the Manuals. You may not use the Bonchon System or the Proprietary Marks for the benefit of any business other than the franchised Business. You may not conduct (or permit anyone else to conduct) any business at your Bonchon Restaurant other than the franchised Business embraced by this Agreement without first obtaining our written consent, which we may withhold for any reason or no reason.
