Agreement by us, we will be released from all obligations and liabilities arising or accruing in connection<br />

with this Agreement after the date of such transfer or assignment.<br />

B. Conditions to Your Transfer or Assignment. This Agreement, and your rights and<br />

obligations under it, are and will remain personal to you. As used in this Agreement, the term "Transfer"<br />

will mean any sale, lease, assignment, gift, pledge, mortgage or any other encumbrance, transfer by<br />

bankruptcy, transfer by your disability or death or by judicial order, merger, consolidation, share<br />

exchange, transfer by operation of law or otherwise, whether direct or indirect, voluntary or involuntary,<br />

of this Agreement or any interest in it, or any rights or obligations arising under it, or of any material<br />

portion of your assets used to operate your Anytime Fitness Center, or of any interest in you, or if you are<br />

a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, a transfer, pledge, assignment, or<br />

other disposition of direct or indirect control of fifty percent (50%) or more of any interest in your entity.<br />

In addition, if there are two (2) individuals signing this Agreement as Franchisee, and one (1) ofthose<br />

individuals is no longer involved in the ownership of your Anytime Fitness Center, the withdrawal of that<br />

person will be considered a "Transfer." A "Transfer" will also be deemed to occur when there are more<br />

than two (2) people listed as the Franchisee and there is a change in the ownership of your Anytime<br />

Fitness Center such that less than a majority of the original signators continue to have a majority interest<br />

in the equity of the business. You (and your shareholders, partners and members) will not directly or<br />

indirectly make a Transfer without our prior written consent and any transfer shall be subject to our right<br />

of first refusal, as set forth in Section 19 below. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, we will<br />

not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition our consent to a Transfer, subject to all of the following<br />

conditions being satisfied:<br />

1. you are in full compliance with this Agreement, you have no uncured defaults,<br />

and all your debts and financial obligations to us and our affiliates are current;<br />

2. you provide us with all information we may require concerning the proposed<br />

transaction (including a copy of the purchase agreement and all related documents), and the proposed<br />

transferee;<br />

3. we are satisfied that the proposed transferee (and if the proposed transferee is an<br />

entity, all holders of any interest in such entity) meets all of the requirements for our new franchisees,<br />

including, but not limited to, good reputation and character, business experience, and financial strength,<br />

credit rating and liquidity, and that the sale price is not excessive;<br />

4. you sign a written agreement in a form satisfactory to us in which you and your<br />

investors covenant to observe all applicable post-term obligations and covenants contained in this<br />

Agreement and release us and our affiliates from any claims you may have against us, or any further<br />

obligations we may have to you;<br />

5. the proposed transferee enters into a new franchise agreement with us, on the<br />

terms we then generally offer to new franchisees (including fees payable and size of territory); provided,<br />

however, that no new initial franchise fee will be required to be paid, and further provided that the term of<br />

that franchise agreement, unless otherwise agreed, will be the remaining term of your franchise<br />

agreement;<br />

6. the proposed transferee agrees in writing to perform such maintenance,<br />

remodeling and re-equipping of your Anytime Fitness Center that we determine necessary to bring your<br />

Anytime Fitness Center in compliance with our then-current standards;<br />
