d below) until you open or until the Franchise Agreement (or, in our discretion, Extreme Art Rider) is terminated.
3. FEES.
3.1 INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE. When you sign this Franchise Agreement, you will pay us a nonrecurring, nonrefundable initial franchise fee in the amount as set forth in Attachment A ("Initial Franchise Fee"). If you purchase a Standard Franchise, you will not be required to pay a separate Initial Franchise Fee when you sign the Extreme Art Rider (all other fees will apply). The Initial Franchise Fee is uniform, earned by us when paid, and is not refundable. The Initial Franchise Fee is in consideration of all of our pre-opening assistance that we provide to allow you to open your Franchised Businesses and our loss of deferred opportunity to enter into this Franchise Agreement with others, and it also offsets some of our expenses for franchisee recruitment.
3.2 ROYALTY FEE.
- 3.2.1 You agree to pay us a recurring royalty fee ("Royalty") for each calendar month (or other accounting period that we may designate from time to time). The amount of the Royalty will be equal to the greater of: (i) eight percent (8%) of your Gross Sales from all of your Extreme Art Studio Businesses for the previous calendar month (or other accounting period we designate); or (ii) $500 per month for each Extreme Art Studio Business you operate under this Franchise Agreement ("Minimum Royalty"). The Minimum Royalty shall begin being charged by us 6 months after you open your first Extreme Art Studio Business under this Franchise Agreement and immediately upon opening each subsequent Extreme Art Studio Business under a Standard Franchise (if applicable).
- 3.2.2 For purposes of this Franchise Agreement, "Gross Sales" means all revenue that you receive from operating the Franchised Business (including any modules), including, but not limited to, all amounts or other consideration that you receive, directly or indirectly, at or away
from the Extreme Art Studio Business, and in the form of cash, check, credit and debit card, barter exchange, trade credit, or other credit transactions, and including all proceeds from any business interruption insurance. For example, Gross Sales includes, without limitation, the following:
- (a) all monies you receive from customers, including, but not limited to, monies received from the sale of products and services;
- (b) the amount of gift card redemptions;
- (c) the proceeds of any business loss or interruption insurance or similar insurance; and
- (d) any other revenue you derive.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may need to execute several agreements and addenda depending on the scope of their franchise. When signing the initial Franchise Agreement, the franchisee will pay an Initial Franchise Fee as outlined in Attachment A. If a franchisee purchases a Standard Franchise (Multi-2 or Multi-3), they must sign a Multi-Franchise Addendum, which is included as Exhibit H in the FDD.
Prior to opening the second and each subsequent Extreme Art Studio Business under a Standard Franchise, the franchisee and Extreme Art Studio will execute the then-current form of the Extreme Art Rider, which is included as Attachment E to the Franchise Agreement. Additionally, once Extreme Art Studio approves a location for the studio, they will complete Attachment B-1 or the then-current form of Attachment E-1 to specify the address of that location.
Furthermore, if the ownership of the franchise changes such that the Operating Owner no longer owns at least 51% of the business, the franchisee must provide a revised Attachment C. Finally, if a franchisee seeks a successor franchise, they and their owners must execute the form of franchise agreement and any ancillary agreements that Extreme Art Studio then customarily uses in granting franchises.
