Does Carls Jr. consider the franchisee's business skill when entering into the Franchise Agreement?

at the rights and duties set forth in this Agreement are personal to Franchisee and that CJR has entered into this Agreement in reliance on Franchisee's (and Franchisee's direct and indirect owners') business skill, financial capacity, personal character, experience and demonstrated or purported ability in developing and operating high quality foodservice operations. Accordingly, neither Franchisee nor any immediate or remote successor to any part of Franchisee's interest in this Agreement, nor any individual, partnership, corporation or other legal entity which directly or indirectly has an interest in Franchisee shall sell, assign, transfer, convey, give away, pledge, mortgage, or otherwise encumber any direct or indirect interest in Franchisee, this Agreement, the Franchise, the Franchised Restaurant, the assets of the Franchised Restaurant, the Franchised Location or any other assets pertaining to Franchisee's operations under this Agreement (collectively "Transfer") without the prior written consent of CJR, unless otherwise permitted by this Section.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any purported Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, not having the prior written consent of CJR shall be null and void and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, for which CJR may terminate this Agreement without providing Franchisee an opportunity to cure the breach.

• B. Franchisee shall advise CJR in writing of any proposed Transfer, submit (or cause the proposed transferee to submit) a franchise application for the proposed transferee, submit a copy of all contracts and all other agreements or proposals and submit all other information requested by CJR relating to the proposed Transfer. If CJR does not exercise its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 18.J., the decision as to whether or not to consent to a proposed Transfer shall be made by CJR in its sole discretion and shall include numerous factors deemed relevant by CJR. These factors may include, but will not be limited to, the following:
• (1) The proposed transferee (and if the proposed transferee is not a natural person, all persons that have any direct or indirect interest in the transferee as CJR may require) must demonstrate to CJR's satisfaction extensive experience in high quality restaurant operations of a character and complexity similar to Carl's Jr. Restaurants; must meet the managerial, operational, experience, quality, character and business standards for a franchisee promulgated by CJR from time to time; must possess a good character, business reputation and credit rating; must have an organization whose management culture is compatible with CJR's management culture; and must have adequate financial resources and working capital, as determined by CJR in its sole discretion, to meet Franchisee's obligations under this Agreement.
• (2) If the Transfer is a sale, the sales price shall not be so high, in CJR's reasonable judgment, as to jeopardize the ability of the transferee to develop, maintain, operate and promote the Franchised Restaurant and meet financial obligations to CJR, third party suppliers and creditors.
