Transfer by Franchisee. (1) The rights and duties set forth in this Agreement are personal to Franchisee and Franchisee Principal Owners. Franchisor granted Franchisee rights under this Agreement in reliance on Franchisee Principal Owners’ business skill, financial status and personal character. Franchisor has legitimate reasons to evaluate the qualifications of any potential new owner. Franchisor has the right to analyze the terms of the proposed purchase contract with Franchisee. Franchisor will investigate any potential owner’s qualifications, including whether sufficient financial resources are available to operate the Business and hear the burden of the purchase terms. Therefore, Franchisee and Franchisee Principal Owners acknowledge and agree that Franchisors contact with any potential owner is for the purpose of protecting Franchisors business interests and the integrity of the Program, and does not constitute improper or unlawful conduct and/or tortuous interference with Franchisee contractual or business relationships.
(2) No one may sell, assign, transfer, convey, pledge, mortgage, encumber, or give away, any direct or indirect Ownership Interest except as provided for in this Agreement. If any such action occurs by operation of law or otherwise that is not in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the transaction shall be null and void and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
