If the Authorized Location is not known at the time this Agreement is signed, you must acquire an acceptable site for the Aira Fitness Business premises no later than ninety (90) days from the Effective Date of this Agreement, at which time you authorize us to insert the Authorized Location on the Summary Page. You must identify a site for the Aira Fitness Business that meets our site selection criteria and that is located within the Preliminary Designated Area identified in the Summary Page (see Section 5.A). You may not use the Aira Fitness Business premises or Authorized Location for any purpose other than the operation of an Aira Fitness Business during the term of this Agreement.

If a Preliminary Designated Area isspecified on the Summary Page, we will not grant anyone else the right to develop or operate an Aira Fitness Business in the Preliminary Designated Area for ninety (90) days from the Effective Date of this Agreement. Once the Authorized Location has been identified, you hereby authorize us to define in Attachment A a "Designated Area" around the Authorized Location; provided that such Designated Area will be substantially the same as the Preliminary Designated Area in terms of size, shape and/or demographics. If the Authorized Location is not within the Preliminary Designated Area, the Designated Area will be defined by us based on our current criteria for size, demographics and topographical features. Once defined in Attachment A, your Designated Area will remain constant throughout the initial term of this Agreement (unless you relocate the Aira Fitness Business and upon renewal or transfer). During the term of this Agreement and provided you are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, neither we nor our affiliates will develop or operate, or grant to anyone else the right to develop or operate an Aira Fitness Business that is physically located in the Designated Area (other than at Special Sites, as described in Section 2.D).

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Aira Fitness business must be operated at the location identified on the Summary Page, referred to as the "Authorized Location." If the Authorized Location is not yet known when the Franchise Agreement is signed, the franchisee has 90 days from the agreement's effective date to secure an acceptable site. Once secured, the franchisee authorizes Aira Fitness to insert the Authorized Location on the Summary Page. The selected site must meet Aira Fitness's site selection criteria and be within the Preliminary Designated Area, which is also identified on the Summary Page.
The franchisee is restricted from using the Aira Fitness Business premises for any purpose other than operating the Aira Fitness Business during the term of the agreement. The Preliminary Designated Area is the initial location where the franchisee intends to find a site. For 90 days from the agreement's effective date, Aira Fitness will not grant anyone else the right to develop or operate an Aira Fitness Business in this area. After the Authorized Location is identified, Aira Fitness will define a Designated Area around it, typically similar in size, shape, and demographics to the Preliminary Designated Area. If the Authorized Location falls outside the Preliminary Designated Area, Aira Fitness will define the Designated Area based on its current criteria for size, demographics, and topographical features.
Once defined, the Designated Area remains constant throughout the initial term of the agreement, unless the franchisee relocates or upon renewal or transfer. During the agreement term, provided the franchisee is in compliance, Aira Fitness and its affiliates will not develop, operate, or grant others the right to operate an Aira Fitness Business within the Designated Area, except at Special Sites. The franchisee cannot relocate without Aira Fitness's prior written consent. If relocation is necessary due to unforeseen circumstances like condemnation or lease expiration (not due to the franchisee's breach), Aira Fitness will allow relocation to a suitable site within the Designated Area, provided the new business opens within 60 days and does not infringe on other franchisees' rights.
