with fixed monthly payments. They will typically require two payments to be made at the<br />
beginning of the lease, but they may require an additional down payment at the beginning of the<br />
lease term, depending on credit approval and quality of credit. Interest rates currently range from<br />
10% to 12% per year. The amount of the monthly payment will depend on the amount financed<br />
and the length and type of program term. At the end of the lease, you can purchase the equipment<br />
for $1. Gaia also offers a "Preferred Performance Program" that provides for lower interest rates<br />
for successful Anytime Fitness franchisees that have been in business for more than two years,<br />
subject again to credit approval and credit quality. Gaia typically does not require you to pledge<br />
any other assets to secure the lease, but you must provide a personal guaranty.<br />
You have the right to prepay your obligations to Gaia at any time, but if you do prepay, you must<br />
pay all amounts due, plus an early termination payment. You will be in default under Gaia's<br />
lease documents if you fail to pay any amounts owed when due or you breach any of the<br />
provisions of their lease agreement. If you commit a payment default, you must pay a late charge<br />
of 1 112% per month or, ifless, the maximum charge allowed by law. If you default, Gaia may<br />
retake possession of the equipment and terminate your lease. They also have the right to<br />
accelerate the lease and require that you pay the remaining balance of the lease (discounted at 6%<br />
per annum). You must also pay the cost of repossession and Gaia's reasonable attorneys' fees<br />
and actual court costs. You waive all special, incidental or consequential damages against Gaia<br />
(Lease Agreement - Sections 17 and 20), and the right to notice and a judicial hearing prior to<br />
Gaia's repossession ofthe equipment in the event of default (Lease Agreement - Section 29). A<br />

do not otherwise qualifY for Life Fitness's standard financing, Life Fitness will consider offering<br />
financing to you under a separate agreement we have with them. This financing is, however, still<br />
subject to credit approval. Under this arrangement, they may offer lease financing for cardio and<br />
strength fitness equipment (at least 90% of which must be Life Fitness or Hammer Strength<br />
equipment). The average financing is between $100,000 and $125,000. Life Fitness offers<br />
standard fixed payments, ranging from 36 months to 48 months. They typically require two<br />
advance payments at the beginning of the lease term, but may require up to 30% down at the<br />
beginning of the lease term, depending on credit approval and quality. You will own the<br />
equipment at the end ofthe scheduled payments. Interest rates currently range from 15% to 20%<br />
per annum, depending on the strength ofthe credit and credit availability. The amount of the<br />
monthly payment will depend on the amount financed, the interest rate, and the length and type of<br />
program term. Life Fitness typically will not require you to pledge any other assets to secure the<br />
lease, but you must personally guarantee the lease. Life Fitness will also retain a security interest<br />
in the equipment that is financed. We do not guarantee your obligations to Life Fitness, but we<br />
do have an agreement with them under which Life Fitness has the right to assign your interest in<br />
your lease to us in exchange for our payment of the obligations. In consideration for that<br />
agreement, Life Fitness pays us a fee of 4% per year of your outstanding obligations.<br />
