What is the definition of 'Premises' in the context of the Cicis Lease Rider?

According to the 2025 Cicis Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Premises" refers to the specific location leased by the franchisee for operating a Cicis restaurant. The Lease Rider, which is Attachment C to the Franchise Agreement, specifies that the Premises is located at a designated address and is part of the lease agreement between the landlord and the franchisee. This rider is incorporated into and becomes a part of the lease.

The Cicis Lease Rider outlines several conditions and stipulations regarding the use and maintenance of the Premises. It states that the Premises can only be used for operating a Cicis restaurant, including ancillary services like carry-out, curbside pickup, video games, and vending machines. The franchisee cannot operate another Cicis restaurant at a different location without the landlord's approval.

Cicis retains certain rights regarding the Premises, even after the lease or franchise agreement terminates. Cicis, its personnel, or agents can enter the Premises for up to 30 days after termination to de-identify it as a Cicis restaurant. This includes removing signs, decor, and materials displaying Cicis's logos and marks. This ensures that the brand's image is protected and that the location does not continue to represent itself as a Cicis restaurant after the agreement ends. The Lease Rider also includes stipulations about the landlord's responsibilities, such as maintaining the shopping center and assisting the tenant in obtaining necessary permits for operating the business at the Leased Premises.
