What documentation is a Burger King lessee required to sign to effectuate the provisions of Section 16.6?

According to Burger King's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a third party needs to enter the premises for remediation of hazardous substances, the lessee (franchisee) must notify the lessor (Burger King). Burger King then decides whether to honor the request and sets the conditions. If Burger King agrees to the remediation, the franchisee must cooperate, provided the third party complies with Section 16.4(b) and any other reasonable conditions from the franchisee. To put the provisions of Section 16.6 into effect, the franchisee must sign any documentation reasonably required by Burger King and/or the third party involved in the remediation.

This means that as a Burger King franchisee, you may be required to sign documents related to environmental remediation if a third party needs to address hazardous substances on the property. The specific documents will depend on the situation and the requirements of Burger King and the third party conducting the remediation. This could include agreements, consents, or other legal forms necessary to allow the remediation to proceed.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that environmental issues can arise and may require their cooperation and signature on legal documents. Franchisees should carefully review any such documents and seek legal advice if needed to ensure they understand their obligations and rights in such situations. This clause ensures that Burger King can address environmental concerns effectively while involving the franchisee in the process.
