Licensee will have the burden of establishing that Licensor failed to exercise reasonable business judgment, and neither the fact that Licensor benefited economically from an action nor the existence of other “reasonable” or “commercially reasonable” alternatives will, by themselves, imply such a failure.

Reasonable Business Judgment.

If Franchisor’s action or exercise of discretion is unrelated to the System (e.g., is related to a requested approval with respect to the Hotel), as described above, Reasonable Business Judgment means that Franchisor has a business basis and has not acted in bad faith. Franchisee will have the burden of establishing that Franchisor failed to exercise Reasonable Business Judgment, and neither the fact that Franchisor benefited economically from an action nor the existence of other “reasonable” alternatives will, by themselves, establish such failure. To the extent that any implied covenant, such as the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or civil law duty of good faith is applied to this Agreement, Franchisor and Franchisee intend that Franchisor will not have violated such covenant or duty if Franchisor has exercised Reasonable Business Judgment.

Reasonable Business Judgment. HOA acknowledges and agrees that it will, and Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that HOA may, use Reasonable Business Judgment in the exercise of HOA’s rights, discharge of its obligations, and exercise of its discretion, and in all circumstances where HOA is required to give its consent, unless this Agreement expressly provides some other standard. “Reasonable Business Judgment” shall mean that HOA’s determinations or choices will prevail, even if other alternatives are also reasonable or arguably preferable, if HOA intends to benefit, or is acting in a way that could benefit, the Hooters System (by, for example, enhancing the value of the Proprietary Marks, increasing franchisee or guest satisfaction, or increasing HOA’s financial strength). Franchisee agrees to this concept of Reasonable Business Judgment in acknowledgment of the fact that HOA should have at least as much discretion in administering the Hooters System as a corporate board of directors has in directing a corporation and because the long-term interests of the Hooters System, all franchisees and owners of franchised businesses in the Hooters System, and HOA and its owners, taken together, require that HOA have the latitude to exercise Reasonable Business Judgment. HOA shall not be required to consider a Franchisee’s particular economic or other circumstances or to slight HOA’s own economic or other business interests when HOA exercises its Reasonable Business Judgment. Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) HOA has a legitimate interest in seeking to maximize the return to its equityholders; and (ii) the fact that HOA or its affiliates benefit economically from an action will not be relevant to showing that HOA did not exercise Reasonable Business Judgment. Neither Franchisee nor any third party (including without limitation any third party acting as a trier of fact or law) shall substitute Franchisee’s, his, her, or its judgment for HOA’s Reasonable Business Judgment. In a given situation, Franchisee shall have the burden of establishing, by clear and convincing proof, that HOA failed to exercise Reasonable Business Judgment.
