What happens after Crisp & Green approves the site for my Franchised Restaurant?

Site Selection

You must operate the Franchised Restaurant at a location that meets our site selection requirements and that we have approved. If we have approved a site for your Franchised Restaurant at the time you

execute the Franchise Agreement, we will specify the site as the premises for your Franchised Restaurant in the Franchise Agreement at the time you sign the Franchise Agreement. In all other cases, the Franchise Agreement will describe a preliminary designated area and you will be responsible for identifying a site within the preliminary designated area that meets our approval. Upon our approval of the site, we will designate the site as the premises for your Franchised Restaurant in the Franchise Agreement. If you utilize a broker to identify a location, you will be responsible for any costs associated therewith. We will not unreasonably withhold our approval of a site that meets our then-current criteria for demographic characteristics; traffic patterns; parking; character of the neighborhood; competition from, proximity to, and nature of other businesses; other commercial characteristics; and the proposed site's size, appearance, and other physical characteristics.

We must approve of the lease, sublease, or purchase contract (which we refer to as the site acquisition document) for the premises of your Franchised Restaurant before you sign such document. If you lease the premises, the lease must contain the terms and provisions that are reasonably acceptable to us, and you and the landlord must execute the standard form of lease addendum (attached as Exhibit C to the Franchise Agreement). Within 10 days after our approval of the site acquisition document, you must send us the fully signed site acquisition document, together with the signed lease addendum, if applicable, for the premises. You may not relocate the Franchised Restaurant without our prior approval.

You are responsible for developing the Franchised Restaurant at your expense. It is your responsibility to prepare all required construction and remodeling plans and specifications to suit the Restaurant and to make sure that they comply with federal, state, or local laws and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and similar rules governing public accommodations for persons with disabilities, other applicable ordinances, building codes, permit requirements, and lease requirements and restrictions. You must submit all site surveys, construction and remodeling plans, and specifications to us for our approval before beginning build-out for the Franchised Restaurant and all revised or "as built" plans and specifications during construction and development. You must obtain a site survey from one of our approved vendors. We have a required architectural vendor who you must use for the creation of the architectural plans for your Franchised Restaurant.

You must open the Franchised Restaurant in compliance with our standards within nine months after the date of your Franchise Agreement. If you have signed an Area Development Agreement, you must open your first Franchised Restaurant in compliance with our standards within nine months after the date of your first Franchise Agreement and each of your subsequent Franchised Restaurants in compliance with our standards according to the opening deadlines set forth in the Area Development Agreement you will sign at the same time you sign your first Franchise Agreement.

Your obligation to complete construction of the Franchised Restaurant includes obtaining all required construction and occupancy licenses and permits, developing the premises (including all outdoor features and landscaping of the premises), installing all required fixtures, furnishings, equipment and signs, and doing all other things required by the Franchise Agreement or by practical necessity to have the Franchised Restaurant ready to open for business by the required opening date. You must give us at least 30 days' prior notice of the date on which you plan to open the Franchised Restaurant. You may not open the Franchised Restaurant for business until we have notified you that the Franchised Restaurant meets our requirements for opening, including payment in full of the initial franchise fee and all other amounts then owing to us, successful completion of Crisp Academy, and our receipt of your certificates of insurance.

We may, but are not obligated to, grant you extensions of any opening deadlines if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are expending good faith best efforts to complete site development and the opening process and pay a fee for the extension of up to $5,000.
