3. OPERATOR'S DEVELOPMENT OBLIGATION

3.1 Development Obligation

• (a) Subject to Section 3.1(c), within each Development Period specified in Exhibit B, Applicant shall construct, equip, open and thereafter continue to operate at, and only at, Venues within the Development Area, not less than the cumulative number of Restaurants required by the Development Obligation for that Development Period.
• (b) Applicant acknowledges and agrees that it is Applicant's sole responsibility to locate a sufficient number of proposed sites within the Development Area and to submit to Franchisor for acceptance sufficiently in advance of the end of each Development Period to insure that the Development Obligation is met for the applicable Development Period. Without limiting the foregoing, Applicant acknowledges that this will likely require Applicant to locate a number of possible sites substantially in excess of the Development Obligation for the applicable Development Period. Franchisor may not accept, or may reject, certain of such sites, and Applicant may not be able to acquire or lease particular sites or negotiate acceptable lease terms. Applicant agrees that time is of the essence.
• (c) To the extent that at the end of any Development Period, Applicant shall have failed to construct, equip, open and commence operation of the cumulative number of Restaurants required by the end of that Development Period, then Applicant shall forfeit the right to develop that number of Restaurants which Applicant failed to construct, equip, and open (the "Unopened Restaurants"), and (i) Exhibit B shall automatically be deemed revised, without any action on the part of either party hereto, to reduce, by a number equal to the number of Unopened Restaurants, the cumulative number of Restaurants required at the end of each ensuing Development Period, as well as the total Development Obligation, and (ii) the portion of Applicant's Development Fee which is attributable to such Unopened Restaurant(s) shall be forfeited and the amount of the Development Fee remaining available as a credit pursuant to Section 5 shall be correspondingly adjusted and reduced.
