A. Area. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ATFC hereby grants to FRANCHISEE the right and license to use the Systems and Marks in connection with the operation of one Agency in the Area described in Exhibit I ("Area") under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Subject to Section II.C (National/Regional Accounts), ATFC agrees that during the term of this Agreement, so long as FRANCHISEE is not in default under this Agreement, ATFC shall not operate or license or franchise any other person or entity the right to operate an ATFC agency in the Area. The Agency shall be operated by FRANCHISEE at office which must be located within the limits or boundaries of the Area. FRANCHISEE has the right to select the site of the office for the Agency, subject to the prior written consent of ATFC. FRANCHISEE shall not open or close any office nor change the location of any office within the Area without first securing written consent of ATFC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in ATFC's sole opinion, the Area is too large to service through only 1 office, ATFC may require FRANCHISEE to open additional offices all within the limits or boundaries of the Area. In such event, the number of offices which need to be established in the Area and the timing of establishing these offices will be described in Exhibit I.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Team Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit I of the franchise agreement outlines the specific area granted to the franchisee for operating their agency. This exhibit defines the geographic boundaries within which the franchisee has the right to use All Team's systems and marks, subject to the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement.
The FDD specifies that All Team will not operate or license any other entity to operate an All Team agency within the franchisee's designated area, as long as the franchisee remains in compliance with the agreement. The franchisee is responsible for selecting the office site within the defined area, but this selection is subject to All Team's prior written consent. This ensures that the location aligns with All Team's brand standards and market strategy.
All Team retains the right to require the franchisee to open additional offices within the area if they deem the initial territory too large to service adequately with a single location. The specifics regarding the number of additional offices and the timeline for their establishment would also be detailed in Exhibit I. This provision allows All Team to optimize market penetration and service levels within the franchisee's territory.
