What qualifications must the general contractor have to supervise the construction of a Cinnaholic bakery?

if your franchise agreement is terminated.

You must employ a qualified general contractor, who is reputable and experienced building units of similar retail concepts, to supervise, delegate and/or perform (i) the construction and development of the Bakery, (ii) the completion of all improvements, (iii) the outfitting of the Bakery with furnishings, fixtures and equipment, and (iv) all other services that are designated by us to be performed by the general contractor in connection with constructing the Bakery (the "General Contractor"). We may designate a single approved General Contractor or furnish you with a list of approved General Contractors for you to employ in the construction of the Bakery. You must hire a General Contractor prior to hiring the Architectural Firm (defined below).

We have designated Tom Tedrow Architects as a required supplier of design services and/or architecture services (an "Architectural Firm") to supply these services to CINNAHOLIC® franchise system. At our option, we may authorize the General Contractor to select a different architectural firm to assist in developing the Bakery. You must hire the Architectural Firm to furnish to us, for our written approval, a proposed preliminary site and construction plans and specifications (which plans and specifications must be adopted from the prototype plans provided by us) for CINNAHOLIC® Bakery which, if accepted, must not be modified, altered or changed without our prior written consent. You must sign any agreements required to obtain the services of the Architectural Firm and pay for all services provided by the Architectural Firm.

We will have the option of approving or denying a request from you to use a General Contractor and/or Architectural Firm submitted by you to develop and construct your Bakery. In connection with any request, you and the proposed General Contractor and/or Architectural Firm must submit all information and data as we may require to consider the request. We reserve the right to charge you a reasonable fee in connection with evaluating a request to use a proposed General Contractor and/or Architectural Firm. We may deny a request for any reason, including our determination to limit the number of approved General Contractors and/or Architectural Firms.

You must also adhere to our standards and specifications for the construction and design of the Bakery, which will include requirements for the interior and exterior layout, signage, fixtures, and trade dress including the color scheme. You may purchase these items from any supplier that meets our standards and specifications, unless we designate an approved supplier for an item. In which case, you must purchase the item from the approved supplier.
