| and | |
| ("Applicant") is entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Preliminary Agreement. | |

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardees's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an addendum to the Hardees Restaurant Franchise Agreement is executed simultaneously with the franchise agreement under specific conditions related to the franchisee's location or residency, or where the franchise sale occurred. For California, the addendum is executed if (A) the offer or sale of the franchise was made in California, (B) the franchisee is a resident of California, and/or (C) the restaurant will be located or operated in California. A similar addendum exists for South Dakota, with the same conditions applied to that state.
For Illinois, an addendum to the Preliminary Agreement is executed because the offer of the franchise to the applicant was made in the State of Illinois. This addendum specifies that Illinois law governs the agreement, and any provision designating jurisdiction or venue outside of Illinois is void. It also outlines the statute of limitations for causes of action under the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act.
For Minnesota, an addendum to the Development Agreement is executed if (A) the offer or sale of a franchise to the Developer was made in the State of Minnesota, (B) the Developer is a resident of the State of Minnesota, and/or (C) part or all of the Development Territory is located in the State of Minnesota. This addendum defers initial fees and payments until the franchisor completes its pre-opening obligations or the first franchise under the development agreement opens. It also ensures that the Developer is not required to assent to a release that would relieve any person from liability imposed by Minnesota Statute.
For Washington, an addendum to the Franchise Disclosure Document, Franchise Agreement, Development Agreement, and all related agreements is required if (a) the offer to sell a franchise is accepted in Washington; (b) the purchaser of the franchise is a resident of Washington; and/or (c) the franchised business that is the subject of the sale is to be located or operated, wholly or partly, in Washington. This addendum ensures that the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act prevail in case of conflict of laws and that the Franchisee Bill of Rights (RCW 19.100.180) may supersede provisions in the franchise agreement concerning the relationship between the franchisor and franchisee, including termination and renewal.
