In addition, you must appoint two full-time managers of your Restaurant (each a "Manager"). All of your Managers must successfully complete our initial management training program (the "Management Training Program") to our satisfaction. We may, in our sole discretion, permit your Primary Contact to serve as a Manager for the Restaurant, provided that it is their full-time job, they otherwise qualify for the position, and they successfully complete the Management Training Program. If you and your affiliates operate four or more Restaurants, in addition to your Managers for each Restaurant that you operate, we may require you to appoint one or more Managers with the responsibility of supervising and supporting multiple Restaurants (each, a "Director of Operations").
