The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of ten (10) years from the date of execution, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. If FRANCHISEE is in full compliance with the terms of this Agreement, FRANCHISEE shall have the right to renew for two additional terms of ten (10) years, provided that FRANCHISEE is not in default under this Agreement at the time of renewal and agrees to execute the most current franchise agreement being utilized by ATFC. The most current franchise agreement may contain significantly different terms than this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ATFC may, in its discretion, refuse to renew the Franchise if FRANCHISEE has been notified of defaults (even if subsequently cured) under this Agreement more than three (3) times during the initial term or more than three (3) times during any renewal term, even if FRANCHISEE is not in default at the time of such renewal. FRANCHISEE agrees to give ATFC not less than six (6) or more than eighteen (18) months written notice of an election to renew the franchise, prior to the end of the initial term or the renewal term. Failure to give such notice shall be an election not to renew the franchise. FRANCHISEE shall also pay ATFC a renewal fee of 25% of the then current Franchise Fee, remodel the Agency to current standards and execute a general release, to the extent permitted by applicable law, of any and all claims against ATFC and its affiliates and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns arising under or from this Agreement and any related agreement between the parties or under any applicable law, rule or regulation.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial term of the franchise agreement is 10 years from the date of execution. This means a franchisee will operate under the terms of the agreement for that duration unless the agreement is terminated earlier according to its provisions.
All Team offers the possibility of renewal for franchisees who are in full compliance with the agreement. A franchisee can renew for two additional terms of 10 years each, provided they are not in default at the time of renewal and agree to sign the most current franchise agreement. The new agreement may contain significantly different terms. All Team may refuse renewal if the franchisee has been notified of defaults more than three times during the initial or any renewal term, even if those defaults were subsequently corrected and the franchisee is not in default at the time of renewal.
To renew the All Team franchise, the franchisee must provide written notice to All Team not less than six months, or more than eighteen months, before the end of the current term. Failure to provide this notice constitutes an election not to renew. Additionally, the franchisee must pay a renewal fee equal to 25% of the then-current franchise fee, remodel the agency to meet current standards, and execute a general release of claims against All Team.
