Pre-Opening Obligations

We will provide the following pre-opening assistance:

1. We will provide guidance to you in locating and developing the Franchised Restaurant as we deem appropriate. (Franchise Agreement, Sections 3.02 and 3.03);

If you have suggested a location for the Franchised Restaurant which we approve before or concurrently with the execution of the Franchise Agreement, the location will be identified in the Franchise Agreement. If we and you have not agreed upon an approved location for the Franchised Restaurant before signing the Franchise Agreement, then you must select a site for the Franchised Restaurant within the geographic area we designate ("Designated Area"). You must, within 180 days after the date of the Franchise Agreement, locate and submit for our approval a site acceptable to us within the Designated Area for the Franchised Restaurant. We will approve or disapprove each site that you propose according to our general criteria for selection of a Checkers Restaurant or Rally's Restaurant site. The site must meet our criteria for demographic characteristics; traffic patterns; parking; character of neighborhood; competition from, proximity to, and nature of other businesses; size; appearance; and other physical and commercial characteristics. We will use reasonable efforts to help analyze your market area, to help determine site feasibility, and to assist in designating the location, although we will not conduct site selection activities for you. We will provide you with our standard site selection criteria and on-site evaluations of sites, as we deem appropriate. If you enter into a Development Agreement with us, you must select sites within your specified Development Area and we will approve them in accordance with our then current criteria for selection of a Checkers Restaurant or Rally's Restaurant site.

Before you acquire, by lease or purchase, any site for your Restaurant, you must submit a franchise site package to us in the form, content and substance as we then require. We will review each site package and determine whether to accept or reject the site after considering factors we deem appropriate, including the general location and neighborhood, demographic information, traffic patterns, access, visibility, location of other restaurants and food establishments, and size, configuration, appearance and other physical characteristics of the site. We will use reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove the proposed site within 30 days after receiving your written proposal. Upon our approval of a site, we will insert the address into Exhibit B of the Franchise Agreement, and it will be the Premises. Within 60 days after our approval of a site for the Premises, you agree to deliver a copy of the fully signed lease, sublease or purchase contract and the franchise addendum to lease agreement. In some cases, we may sublease the Premises to you, but we do not typically do so.

You must apply for all requisite government approvals and permits to develop the Premises within 60 days after you sign the proposed lease, sublease or purchase agreement. You must complete construction or installation of the Franchised Restaurant within 180 days from receipt of all government approvals and permits. You must open the Franchised Restaurant within 14 days after the date construction or installation is completed, or, for those Restaurants that received training support from us, within 19 days after the date construction or installation is completed.

If, after expending good faith best efforts (as we determine in our sole judgment), you are unable to comply with the time periods required to either locate or secure a site for your Franchised Restaurant, or you are unable to obtain all required approvals and permits or timely complete construction of the Restaurant, then we may grant you a one-time extension in our sole discretion. If we grant you an extension, you must pay the extension fee as described in Item 6. If you are unable to locate or secure a site we approve for your Franchised Restaurant, we may terminate the Franchise Agreement.
