Subject to the terms and conditions of the MDA, Bojangles’ and Bojangles’® franchisees that enter into a participation agreement with McLane will be obligated to purchase from McLane, and McLane will be obligated to purchase from Bojangles’ approved suppliers and resell and distribute to Bojangles’ and each participating franchisee, substantially all of the food, packaging, beverages, and other supplies used or sold in each participating restaurant in accordance with the terms of the MDA and any applicable participation agreement.
