Is there a specific geographic area granted in the Churchs Chicken Development Agreement?

The Development Agreement grants you a specific Development Area in which to establish and operate Restaurants under the System at specific locations to be designated in separate Franchise Agreements. You select the site of your Restaurant subject to our acceptance of the site. You must submit for our acceptance a Site Acceptance Request, in the form that we require, for the proposed site of each Restaurant you develop. We will evaluate each proposed site, and within 60 days after receipt of your complete proposal, we will send you written notice of our acceptance or non-acceptance of the site. We consider the following factors, among others, in evaluating the proposed site: demographic characteristics (such as the number of households in the neighborhood, average income and family size); traffic patterns; proximity to existing restaurants, including existing Restaurants, and the size, asset type, and condition of the proposed premises. Our acceptance of a proposed site is good for 90 days, during which time you must provide us with satisfactory evidence (such as a deed or signed lease) that you have the right to occupy the site. Our acceptance of a site is not our representation or promise that a Restaurant at that site will achieve a certain sales volume or level of profitability. Similarly, our acceptance of one or more sites and our nonacceptance of other sites is not our representation or promise that a site we accept will have a higher sales volume or be more profitable than a site we do not accept. Our acceptance only indicates our willingness to be represented by you at that site. If you lease or sublease the premises, we have the right to review and approve the lease or sublease, and you must use our form of Addendum to Lease Agreement attached as Exhibit R.
