Franchisee. A “franchisee” is a retailer or distributor who is authorized or permitted, under a franchise, to use a trademark in connection with the sale, consignment, or distribution of motor fuel.
Franchisee in the conduct of the Franchised Business, shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and shall timely obtain any and all permits, certificates, or licenses necessary for the full and proper conduct of the businesses operated under this Agreement, including, without limitation, licenses to do business, trade name registrations, sales tax permits and fire clearances.
Franchisee. Verizon Pennsylvania LLC, and its lawful and permitted successors, assigns, and transferees.
Franchisee in consideration of the benefits and privileges provided to it by this Agreement, agrees to operate the Restaurant and perform as required hereunder for the full term of this Agreement.
Franchisee shall deliver to Franchisor (Attention: Insurance Department), a certificate of insurance (or certified copy of such insurance policy if requested by Franchisor) evidencing the coverages required herein and setting forth deductibles and the amount thereof, if any. Renewal certificates of insurance (or certified copies of such insurance policy if requested by Franchisor) shall be delivered to Franchisor not less than ten (10) days prior to their respective inception dates.
Franchisee shall obtain all food and beverage products, equipments, signs, interior and exterior decor items, fixtures, furnishings, supplies, and other products and materials required for the operation of or sold at the Restaurant solely from suppliers (including manufacturers, distributors and other sources) who demonstrate, to Franchisor's continuing reasonable satisfaction, the ability to meet Franchisor's then-current standards and specifications for such items; who possess adequate quality controls and capacity to supply Franchisee's needs promptly and reliably; and who have been approved in writing by Franchisor and not thereafter disapproved. The Manuals contain a list of approved suppliers. If Franchisee desires to purchase any items from an unapproved supplier, Franchisee shall submit to Franchisor a written request for such approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or shall request the supplier itself to do so. Franchisor shall have the right to inspect the supplier's facilities, and to require that samples from the supplier be delivered, at Franchisor's option, either to Franchisor or to an independent, certified laboratory designated by Franchisor for testing. Franchisee or the supplier shall pay the costs of any such test. Franchisor shall notify Franchisee in writing within forty-five (45) days of receiving any such request whether it disapproves the supplier. Failure by Franchisor to so notify Franchisee within that period shall be deemed to constitute Franchisor's approval of such supplier. Franchisor reserves the right, at its option, to reinspect the facilities and retest products of any such approved supplier at any time and to revoke its approval upon the supplier's failure to continue to meet any of Franchisor's criteria. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplier of goods having any trademark, trade name, service xxxx, logo or symbol owned by Franchisor shall not be approved to supply Franchisee such goods until such supplier has entered a written agreement with Franchisor regarding the production, use and sale of such goods.
Franchisee shall maintain, at all times during the term of this Agreement, at Franchisee's expense, the premises of the Franchised Unit and all fixtures, furnishings, signs, systems and equipment (hereinafter "improvements") thereon or therein, in conformity with Franchisor's high standards and public image and to make such additions, alterations, repairs, and replacements thereto (but no others, without Franchisor's prior written consent) as may be required by Franchisor, including but not limited to the following:
A. To keep the Franchised Unit in the highest degree of sanitation and repair, including, without limitation, such periodic repainting, repairs or replacement of impaired equipment, and replacement of obsolete signs, as Franchisor may reasonably direct;
B. To meet and maintain the highest governmental standards and ratings applicable to the operation of the Franchised Business;
C. At its sole cost and expense, to complete a full reimaging, renovation, refurbishment and modernization of the Franchised Unit, within the time frame required by Franchisor, including the building design, parking lot, landscaping, equipment, signs, interior and exterior decor items, fixtures, furnishings, trade dress, color scheme, presentation of trademarks and service marks, supplies and other products and materials, to meet Franchisor's then-current standards, specifications and design criteria for SBC Retail Units, including without limitation, such structural changes, remodeling and redecoration and such modifications to existing improvements as may be necessary to do so (hereinafter, a "Franchised Unit Renovation"). Franchisee shall not be required to perform a Franchised Unit Renovation if there are less than three (3) years remaining on the term of this Agreement, and/or the lease for the premises occupied by the Franchised Unit. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Franchisee's other obligations, during the term of this Agreement, to operate the Franchised Unit in accordance with Franchisor's standards and specifications for the SBC System, including, but not limited to, the obligations set forth in this Section X.
Franchisee s obligation to maintain the insurance hereunder shall not relieve Franchisee of its obligations under Section XXI.
Franchisee. The other party to this AGREEMENT.
