Changes to Approved Suppliers. If you want to propose a new supplier of Restaurant Materials or Operating Assets, you must submit to us sufficient written information about the proposed new supplier to enable us to approve or reject either the supplier or the particular items. If we have not responded within 30 days of our receipt of the information, then the application will be deemed rejected by us. We may consider in providing such approval not just the quality standards of the products or services, but their delivery capabilities, financing terms and ability to service our franchise System as a whole. We may terminate or withhold approval of any Restaurant Materials or Operating Assets, or any supplier of such items, that does not meet our quality standards by giving you written notice. If we do so, you must immediately stop purchasing from such supplier or using such Restaurant Materials or Operating Assets in your EVOS® Restaurant until we notify you that such supplier or such Restaurant Materials or Operating Assets meet our quality standards. At our request, you must submit to us sufficient information about a proposed supplier and samples of the proposed Restaurant Materials or Operating Assets for our examination so that we can determine whether they meet our quality standards. We also must have the right to require our representatives to be permitted to inspect the proposed supplier’s facilities at your expense. We may charge a fee for evaluating alternative suppliers of $250 per day for personnel time plus laboratory fees, professional fees and travel and living expenses as well as any other fees we pay to third parties in furtherance of the evaluation.
