Who is responsible for administering the advertising cooperatives for Hck Hot Chicken, including determining contribution amounts?

You may be required to participate in any local or regional advertising cooperative for HCK Hot Chicken Restaurants that is established. The area of each local and regional advertising cooperative will be defined by us, based on our assessment of the area. Franchisees in each cooperative will contribute an amount to the cooperative of up to two percent (2%) of monthly Gross Sales for each Restaurant that the franchisee owns that exists within the cooperative's area, which contribution may be applied toward the franchisee's Local Advertising Requirement. Each Restaurant that we or our affiliate owns that exists within the cooperative's area will contribute to the cooperative on the same basis as franchisees. Members of the cooperative will be responsible for administering the cooperative, including determining the amount of contributions from each member. We may require that each cooperative operate with governing documents, which will be available for review upon reasonable request from cooperative franchisees. Each cooperative must prepare annual unaudited financial statements,and such statements will be provided for review to each member of such cooperative. Cooperatives may not use advertising, marketing, or promotional plans or materials without our prior written consent. We reserve the right to form, change, dissolve, or merge any advertising cooperative formed in the future. If we elect to form such cooperatives, or if such cooperatives already exist near your territory, you will be required to participate in compliance with the provisions of the Brand Standards Manual, which we may periodically modify in our discretion.
