No offer of a franchise by us to you will be binding on us, and no franchise will be granted by us to you, until both: (a) all conditions precedent to its offer and acceptance have been fully satisfied by you and us; and (b) we have delivered to you a fully executed area development agreement ("ADA") signed by our President or Chief Executive Officer. Any action you take, or expenditures you make prior to your receipt of a fully executed ADA (and our notification to you that all conditions precedent to its execution have been met), are at your own risk.
