If we award you a franchise, you must sign the form of franchise agreement attached to this Disclosure Document as EXHIBIT "C" (the "Franchise Agreement"). We refer to the franchised business you purchase as your "Business" or your "Restaurant". The Franchise Agreement grants you a license to use certain service marks, trademarks, trade names and logos, including the trademarks CHOP5 Salad Kitchen® and "CHOP5® (collectively, the "Marks"). The Marks also include our distinctive trade dress used to identify a Restaurant or the products it sells. The Franchise Agreement also grants you a license to use our system that was developed for the operation of a Restaurant (the "System"). Our confidential Brand Standards Manual (the "Manual") describes the operational aspects of a Restaurant. You will operate your Restaurant as an independent business using the Marks, the System, the information in the Manual, and the support, guidance and other methods and materials we provide.
Area Development Rights
If you satisfy our criteria for multi-unit developers, we may (but need not) offer you the right to sign the form of Area Development Agreement attached to this Disclosure Document as EXHIBIT "D" (the "ADA"). The ADA grants you the right and obligation to develop, open and operate multiple Restaurants within a defined "development territory" according to a predetermined "development schedule". You must develop, open and operate all of the Restaurants identified in the development schedule. We only grant area development rights to franchisees who commit to develop, open and operate a minimum of 2 Restaurants. You sign a separate
franchise agreement for each Restaurant you develop under the ADA. Each franchise agreement will be our then-current form of franchise agreement, which may differ from the current Franchise Agreement attached to this Disclosure Document (except the royalty fee will not exceed 6% of Gross Sales).
Market and Competition
The target market for CHOP5 Salad Kitchen customers includes health-conscious members of the general public between the ages of 24 and 49. Sales are not seasonal, although Restaurants located in areas subject to harsh winter conditions may experience a reduction in sales during the winter months.
