agreement, we will reasonably allocate the fixed amount among the businesses performing such services.
Continuation of Your Territory Rights. In order to retain the right to operate the Franchise Business in the Territory you must meet the performance standards in the Franchise Agreement. The configuration of your Territory will not change except by mutual agreement of you and us. By signing our standard Franchise Agreement, you do not receive any options, rights of first refusal or similar rights to acquire additional franchises.
We may approve relocation of your office for the Franchise Business within the Territory after you provide us with all required information concerning the proposed site to which you want to relocate. Our approval of the relocation of your office will be based primarily on lease terms, suitability of the location for activities of the business, zoning, parking, and general neighborhood. We will provide our decision of the acceptability of any proposed relocation office site you submit within 20 days of receipt of all required information concerning the proposed site.
Minimum Performance. Your rights in and to your Territory and the Franchise Agreement are dependent upon your meeting minimum standards of performance during the term of the Franchise Agreement. You must attain or exceed the requirements for Gross Revenue contained in the Franchise Agreement (Article 4.3). You must attain or exceed each minimum requirement (the "Requirement") for Gross Revenue identified below for each respective specified
period. Upon your first failure to attain the required Requirement, you may cure the failure by paying any Royalty Fee and Advertising Fund contribution owed to us. Upon your second failure to attain the specified Requirement, then we may terminate the Franchise Agreement or otherwise we may elect to render all or any portion of the Territory as non-exclusive.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, maintaining your territorial rights depends on meeting specific performance standards outlined in the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, you must meet the Gross Revenue requirements detailed in Article 4.3 of the agreement. Failing to meet these minimum standards can jeopardize your exclusive territory rights.
The FDD specifies minimum Gross Revenue Requirements. There is no minimum total Gross Revenue Requirement for the initial 365 days. However, for the subsequent 365-day period, you must achieve a minimum total Gross Revenue of $150,000. For each remaining consecutive 365-day period, the minimum total Gross Revenue Requirement increases to $250,000.
If you fail to meet the Gross Revenue Requirement for the first time, you have the option to cure this failure by paying any outstanding Royalty Fees and Advertising Fund contributions owed to All County. However, if you fail to meet the specified Requirement a second time, All County has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement or may choose to render all or a portion of your territory as non-exclusive, meaning your territory is no longer protected.
