(7) We require you have an automated external defibrillator. This equipment will generally cost between<br />
$1,000 and $1,400. In some areas, you may be required to have additional first aid supplies, and our high<br />
estimate covers the cost of these supplies.<br />
(8) This amount includes lease security deposit, utility costs, permits, and licensing fees.<br />
(9) Some franchisees, particularly people who sign Area Development Agreements to control an entire<br />
market, will spend more than $6,000 per center for grand opening advertising because they believe they<br />
will receive a return on that investment.<br />
(10) You will need to purchase and maintain in effect at all times during the term of the Franchise<br />
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance, naming us as an additional insured on the face of each<br />
policy. You must have and maintain general liability insurance with complete operations coverage, broad<br />
form contractual liability coverage, property damage all with current minimum limits of $1 ,000,000 per<br />
person and $1,000,000 per occurrence, $3,000,000 in the aggregate, and other insurance in the types and<br />
amounts as we may require or as required by law. The insurance policy must be written by a carrier who<br />
has a minimum rating acceptable to us. Our insurance estimate assumes that you will personally operate<br />
your Anytime Fitness center and have no employees. Therefore, the estimates do not include premiums<br />
for worker's compensation insurance, employer's liability insurance or automobile liability insurance.<br />
Your insurance costs may be substantially higher if you have to buy employer's liability insurance,<br />
automobile liability insurance, or any other insurance required by your landlord. Before you make a<br />
decision to purchase the franchise, you should confirm that insurance is available for a fitness center of<br />
the type you intend to operate, given that you will not staffthe premises all ofthe time.<br />
(11) This estimates your initial start up expenses during the initial 3 months. This amount does not<br />
include the cost of obtaining a bond for your business. If you choose to sell prepaid memberships, under<br />
some state laws, you must obtain a bond to secure your obligations to pre-paid members. Because the<br />
requirements vary by state, and may depend on your net worth, we cannot estimate the amount you will<br />
need to obtain a bond, or the assets you may need to collateralize that bond.<br />
(12) These figures are estimates and we cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses<br />
starting the business. We recommend that you have additional funds available to you to fund your<br />
business. Your costs will depend on factors such as: how much the business is staffed, your sales and<br />
management skills, experience and business acumen; local economic conditions; the local market for your<br />
services; competition; the ability to obtain favorable real estate and equipment rates. These costs do not<br />
include any payroll or owners draw amounts and assumes you will work full-time at your Anytime<br />
Fitness center.<br />
(13) These figures are estimates based on our experience in setting up Anytime Fitness centers in the last<br />
2 years. Your actual expenses of establishing and operating this business could vary significantly from<br />
these estimates. It is possible to significantly exceed costs in any of the areas above. Some states have<br />
laws that require staffing or operational requirements that will significantly increase the amounts you will<br />
have to spend to open and operate your Anytime Fitness center. If your state requires you to have<br />
someone on the premises full-time or additional equipment on the premises, these costs may increase by<br />
$5,000 or more a month. You should review these figures carefully with a business and a legal advisor<br />
before making any decision to purchase the franchise. We do not offer financing for any part ofthe initial<br />
investment. The availability and terms of financing will depend on factors like the availability of<br />
financing generally, your credit worthiness, your relationship with local banks, your experience in the<br />
fitness industry, and any additional collateral you may offer to a lender to secure the loan. Our estimates<br />
do not include any finance charges, interest or debt service obligations.<br />
