In approving a location for the Franchised Restaurant, we consider the location, neighborhood, traffic patterns, visibility, parking facilities, size, lease, and zoning. If you do not locate and secure an acceptable site within the required time frames, you will be in default of your agreement with us for which we may terminate your agreement.
