STATE SPECIFIC ADDENDUM<br />

AS<br />

REQUIRED BY<br />

THE CALIFORNIA <strong>FRANCHISE</strong> INVESTMENT LAW<br />

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Anytime Fitness, LLC Franchise<br />

Disclosure Document, the following provisions shall supersede and apply to all Anytime Fitness<br />

franchises offered and sold in the state of California:<br />

The California Addendum is only applicable if you are a resident of California or if your<br />

business will be located in California.<br />

1. THE CALIFORNIA <strong>FRANCHISE</strong> INVESTMENT LAW REQUIRES THAT A<br />

COPY OF ALL PROPOSED AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE SALE OF THE<br />

<strong>FRANCHISE</strong> BE DELIVERED TOGETHER WITH THE <strong>FRANCHISE</strong> <strong>DISCLOSURE</strong><br />

<strong>DOCUMENT</strong>.<br />

2. Item 3 of the Franchise Disclosure Document is supplemented by the additional<br />

paragraph.<br />

"Neither Anytime Fitness nor any person described in Item 2 of the<br />

FDD is subject to any currently effective order of any national<br />

securities association or national securities exchange, as defined in<br />

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C.A. 78a et seq.<br />

suspending or expelling such persons from membership in such<br />

association or exchange."<br />

3. Item 17 ofthe FDD is amended by the insertion of the following:<br />

"The California Franchise Relations Act (Business and Professions Code Section 20000<br />

through 20043), provides franchisees with additional rights concerning termination and nonrenewal<br />

of the Franchise Agreement and certain provisions of the Franchise Agreement relating<br />

to termination and non-renewal may be superseded by the Act. There may also be court<br />

decisions which may supersede the Franchise Agreement and your relationship with us,<br />

including the areas of termination and renewal of your franchise. If the Franchise Agreement is<br />

inconsistent with the law, the law will control.<br />

The Franchise Agreement requires franchisee to execute a general release of claims upon<br />

renewal or transfer of the Franchise Agreement. California Corporations Code Section 31512<br />

provides that any condition, stipulation or provision purporting to bind any person acquiring any<br />

franchise to waive compliance with any provision of that law or any rule or order thereunder is<br />

void. Section 31512 voids a waiver of your rights under the Franchise Investment Law<br />

(California Corporations Code Section 20010 voids a waiver of your rights under the Franchise<br />

Relations Act (Business and Professions Code Sections 20000 20043)."<br />

4. The Franchise Agreement and Area Development Agreement require application<br />

of the laws and forum of Minnesota. This provision may not be enforceable under California<br />

law.<br />
