What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Best In Class Education Center FDD, operating a Satellite Office is dependent on having a main Best In Class Education Center. The Satellite Office Territory must be adjacent to the franchisee's Center Territory. The franchisor will not develop or operate another Best In Class Education Center or Satellite Office in the Satellite Office Territory during the addendum's term, except in cases of acquisitions. The franchisor also retains the right to sell competitive goods and services through alternative channels of distribution within the Satellite Office Territory.

The operation of a Best In Class Education Center Satellite Office is subject to the terms of the Franchise Agreement, with some exceptions. Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.3, 7, 12, 14.1, and parts of 21.1 of the Franchise Agreement do not apply to Satellite Offices. The franchisee must open the Satellite Office within 180 days of the Effective Date. The term of the Satellite Office Addendum is tied to the Franchise Agreement, expiring upon the Franchise Agreement's expiration, termination, or transfer.

The franchisee can terminate the Satellite Office Addendum by notifying the franchisor if the Satellite Office closes, which will not lead to the termination of the Franchise Agreement. The franchisor can terminate the addendum if the franchisee breaches obligations under the addendum or the Franchise Agreement and fails to cure the breach within the specified cure period, which is 30 days for any breach of the addendum. The franchisee must also acquire and utilize BCP-LMS at the Satellite Office, paying separate fees for setup, configuration, and monthly use, as well as a $100 monthly technology fee, which may increase to a maximum of $200 with 30 days' notice.
