What is the relationship between the Browns Chicken equipment restrictions in Item 8 and the assistance Brown provides before opening, as described in Item 11?

[Item 8: RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES]

Item 8 RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

You are not obligated to purchase or lease any product or service from Brown or from any designated source except as provided herein.

Equipment, Fixtures, Furniture and Signs.

Brown will provide you with a list of approved brands, types and/or models of equipment, fixtures, furniture and signs required for the Store. You must use in the operation of the Store only those brands, types and/or models of equipment for the preparation, dispensing, storage, display and delivery of food and beverages, cash registers, fax machine, computers, cameras, remote access, and other equipment, fixtures, furniture and signs that Brown has approved as meeting its specifications and standards. Our current approved supplier of video gaming equipment is Aceel Entertainment, of Burr Ridge, Illinois. Brown's specifications and standards may include minimum standards for design, appearance, function, performance, serviceability and warranties. Except for the POS System (see Item 11), you may purchase or lease approved brands, types and/or models of equipment, fixtures, furniture and signs from any source. Brown has in the past, and may in the future, sell at a reduced fee or lease, used equipment to Franchisees. Brown's ability to lease or sell such equipment is subject to the availability of such used equipment packages. If you propose to purchase or lease any brand, type and/or model of equipment, fixture, furniture or sign not then approved by Brown, you must first notify Brown in writing, and must submit to Brown upon its request sufficient specifications, photographs, drawings and/or other information or samples for a determination by Brown of whether such brand, type and/or model of equipment, fixture, furniture or sign meets its specifications and standards. Brown shall notify you within a reasonable time whether it approves such brand, type and/or model of equipment, fixture, furniture or sign. The time in which Brown will approve or disapprove the proposed brand, type and/or model of equipment, fixture, furniture or sign will be between 2 to 6 months, depending on the specific proposed equipment, fixture, furniture, sign or supplier, the speed with which the supplier responds to Brown's requests, and other factors.
