What is the deadline for a Chesters franchisee to notify Chesters in writing regarding taxes incurred in operating the Restaurant?

According to Chesters' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must promptly pay all taxes incurred in operating their restaurant. Furthermore, the franchisee is obligated to notify Chesters in writing within 10 days after the commencement of any action, suit, or proceeding that may adversely affect the Restaurant's operation, financial condition, or the Chesters' Marks.

This means that if a franchisee faces any legal or administrative action related to unpaid taxes or tax disputes, they have a short window to inform Chesters about it. This notification requirement is crucial because such actions could potentially harm the Chesters brand or the financial stability of the franchise location.

By requiring prompt notification, Chesters aims to stay informed about potential issues that could impact their brand and provide support or take necessary actions to protect their interests. The franchisee's failure to comply with this notification requirement could lead to further complications or breaches of the franchise agreement.
