Upon expiration or termination of the Expense Reduction Analysts Franchise Agreement, is the franchisee entitled to any compensation from the franchisor in connection with any Assignable Client?

According to Expense Reduction Analysts' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee will not receive any compensation from the franchisor regarding any Assignable Client upon the expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement. However, the franchisee may receive compensation from Assigned Franchisees directly.

Upon the agreement's expiration, the franchisee must meet with Expense Reduction Analysts to discuss the transition of Assignable Clients and their corresponding Assignable Client Contract Sets at least 90 days prior. The franchisee is responsible for providing a list of potential Assigned Franchisees to whom they wish to assign each Assignable Client and its corresponding contract set. Expense Reduction Analysts will review the list and advise on any proposed franchisees unable to service a client due to lacking the right ERA Authorization Level or being located in an unsuitable area.

The franchisee is solely responsible for negotiating and entering into a Transition Agreement with an Assigned Franchisee for each Assignable Client and their contract set, provided Expense Reduction Analysts did not object to the franchisee. Once the Transition Agreement is signed, a copy must be provided to Expense Reduction Analysts. If an Assignable Client is assigned to an authorized Assigned Franchisee before the agreement expires, that franchisee is responsible for fulfilling obligations under the Assignable Client Contract Set and paying the Phase-Out Consideration agreed upon in the Transition Agreement. Expense Reduction Analysts bears no obligation or liability related to any Transition Agreement the franchisee executes.
