Only substantive rights are taken into account. A right is substantive if its holder can actually exercise it, judged by barriers such as financial penalties, exercise prices that deter use, narrow exercise windows, missing mechanisms, lack of information, operational obstacles or legal constraints, and by whether several parties must agree. A right usually needs to be exercisable when relevant decisions are made, though a right exercisable later can still be substantive if it can be used before the decisions take effect. Rights of other parties, including removal rights, may stop an investor having power. Protective rights apply to fundamental changes or exceptional circumstances (such as lender covenants, minority approval of capital expenditure beyond the ordinary course, or seizure on default) and neither give nor prevent power. A franchise agreement's rights for the franchisor are generally protective, so the franchisee's own decision-makers usually hold power.
