espect to your Anytime Fitness Center and any other aspect of the relationship between us, and cannot be<br />

amended except by a written agreement signed by each of us.<br />

F. Approvals. Wherever our consent or approval is required in this Agreement, unless the<br />

provision specifically indicates otherwise, we have the right to withhold our approval in our discretion,<br />

for any reason, or for no reason. When the terms of this Agreement specifically require that we not<br />

unreasonably withhold our approval or consent, if you are in default or breach under this Agreement, any<br />

withholding of our approval or consent will be considered reasonable. Our approvals and consents will<br />

not be effective unless given in writing.<br />

G. Interpretation. It is the desire and intent of you and us that the provisions of this<br />

Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent possible under the applicable laws and public policies.<br />

Therefore, if any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court or arbitrator to be invalid or<br />

unenforceable, that determination will apply only to the operation of that provision in the particular<br />

proceeding in which the determination is made. We and you agree that if any provision of this<br />

Agreement is capable of two (2) constructions, one of which would render the provision illegal or<br />

otherwise voidable or unenforceable and the other of which would render the provision valid and<br />

enforceable, the provision will have the meaning that renders it valid and enforceable. The language of<br />

all provisions of this Agreement will be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly<br />

against you or us.<br />

H. Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 19.H, neither of us will be deemed<br />

to have waived any obligation of the other, or to have agreed to any modification ofthis Agreement,<br />

unless we have done so in writing, and the writing is signed by the person giving the waiver or agreeing<br />

to the modification. However, you agree that you will give us immediate written notice of any claimed<br />

breach or violation ofthis Agreement as soon as possible after you have knowledge, or determine, or are<br />

of the opinion, that there has been a breach or violation by us of this Agreement. If you fail to give<br />

written notice to us of any claimed breach or violation of this Agreement within one (1) year from the<br />

date you have knowledge, determine, are ofthe opinion, or become aware of facts and circumstances<br />

reasonably indicating, that you may have a claim against us or against any of our affiliates under any state<br />

law, federal law, or common law, then the breach or violation will be considered to have been condoned,<br />

approved and waived by you, and you will be barred from beginning any legal, arbitration, or other action<br />

against us or against our affiliates, or from instituting any counterclaim against us or our affiliates, for the<br />

breach or violation, or from using the alleged breach or violation as a defense to any action we may<br />

maintain against you.<br />

I. Time. Time is of the essence to this Agreement.<br />

1. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which will be<br />

considered an original.<br />

K. Entire Agreement. The preambles are a part ofthis Agreement. This Agreement,<br />

together with its exhibits, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the entire<br />

subject matter ofthis Agreement and embody and supersede all prior agreements and negotiations with<br />

respect to this subject matter. The headings of the Sections hereof are for convenience only and do not<br />

define, limit or construe the contents of such Sections. The term "you" as used herein is applicable to one<br />

or more persons, a corporation, a partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, and the<br />

singular usage includes the plural and the masculine and neuter usages include the other and the feminine.<br />

If more than one person executes this Agreement for you, then your obligations are joint and several.<br />
