To prevent any interruption of the Franchised Business that may cause harm to the Franchised Business and the Punch King Fitness system and lessen their value, we may step in to operate the Franchised Business when we deem necessary. Reasons may include our determination that you: are incapable of operating the franchise; are absent or incapacitated because of illness or death; have failed to pay when due any taxes or assessments against the franchise or property used in connection with the franchise; have failed to pay when due any liens or encumbrances of every kind placed upon or against your business property; or we decide that operational problems require us to operate the franchise for a time.
All Revenue derived from our operation of the Franchised Business will be for your account. We may pay all expenses, debts, and liabilities incurred during our operation of the Franchised Business from that Revenue. We will keep account of all Revenue generated by the operation of the Franchised Business, less the business's expenses, including reasonable compensation and expenses for us and our representatives.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Punch King Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Punch King Fitness steps in to operate a franchised business, all revenue generated during that period will be for the franchisee's account. However, Punch King Fitness can use this revenue to cover all expenses, debts, and liabilities incurred during their operation of the business.
Punch King Fitness will maintain an accounting of all revenue generated from the business's operation, deducting the business's expenses. This includes reasonable compensation and expenses for Punch King Fitness and its representatives.
This arrangement ensures that while Punch King Fitness manages the business, the franchisee ultimately benefits from the revenue generated, albeit after the deduction of operational costs and compensation for Punch King Fitness's involvement. This could occur if the franchisee is unable to operate the franchise, due to reasons such as being incapable, absent, incapacitated, or failing to meet financial obligations related to the business.
