In the Aerus Lease Rider, what document is it attached to and made a part of?

According to the 2025 Aerus Franchise Disclosure Document, the Lease Rider is attached to and made a part of the Lease Agreement. The Lease Agreement is dated as of the date of the lease and is between the tenant and the landlord, becoming effective on the effective date.

The Lease Rider is required as a condition for Aerus's consent to the lease. The franchisee, as the tenant, must ensure the Lease Rider is executed and integrated into the lease agreement. This requirement protects Aerus's interests by ensuring certain conditions are met regarding the use of the premises and the franchised business.

Specifically, the Lease Rider ensures that the premises are used for operating an Aerus business, offering cleaning, purification, and health improvement products and services under the Aerus trademarks. It also allows Aerus to become the tenant under the lease and to assign or sublet the premises to another franchisee or affiliate, subject to the lease terms. The Lease Rider also stipulates that the lease cannot be assigned, renewed, extended, or canceled without Aerus's prior written consent, and that the lease cannot be modified in a way that materially affects the requirements without Aerus's consent.

The Lease Rider also establishes Aerus as a third-party beneficiary of the lease, granting Aerus the right to enforce the provisions of the Lease Rider. The terms of the Lease Rider supersede any conflicting terms in the Lease. This ensures Aerus has control over the location and operation of the franchise, even though they are not a direct party to the original lease agreement between the franchisee and the landlord.
