1.  Initial Franchise Fee:  $68,000

• Nurse Next Door charges a non-recurring initial franchise fee of $68,000 for each unit franchise (the “Initial Franchise Fee”). It reserves the right to increase or decrease the Initial Franchise Fee for any particular territory based upon factors it deems appropriate, including demographics, or to achieve market penetration in certain markets.

• If you are purchasing two or more territories concurrently, Nurse Next Door offers a $5,000 discount off the Initial Franchise Fee for additional territories. Nurse Next Door also offers a 10% service member discount for military servicemen and women.

• The Initial Franchise Fee is payable at the time of execution of the Franchise Agreement. The Initial Franchise Fee is deemed to be fully earned and is non-refundable in whole or in part (except as provided below) upon execution of the Franchise Agreement.

• Nurse Next Door also provides a “New Market Incentive,” which entitles a franchisee to a $10,000 discount on an initial territory provided they purchase a territory in a Metro Service Area without an existing operational Nurse Next Door franchise.

• Nurse Next Door may terminate the Franchise Agreement if you fail to:  (i) complete its Franchise Opener “Countdown to Launch” and the Foundations Training Program within 12 weeks following the date of the Franchise Agreement, or at such other date that Nurse Next Door and you may agree in writing, and (ii) open your Franchised Business within 30 days of the completion of Nurse Next Door’s Franchise Opener “Countdown to Launch” and the Foundations Training Program, provided that you have obtained all certificates or licenses required to operate the Franchised Business (the Start Date).

• In the event that Nurse Next Door elects to exercise this option to terminate the Franchise Agreement, it will not refund any portion of the Initial Franchise Fee.

• If, in Nurse Next Door’s reasonable opinion, your participation in its Franchise Opener “Countdown to Launch” and the Foundations Training Program discloses an inability on your part to adequately manage and operate the Franchised Business, then it may terminate the Franchise Agreement.

• If it elects to do so for this reason, within 7 days after the effective date of termination, Nurse Next Door will refund your Initial Franchise Fee, less reasonable costs, including without limitation, costs for expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with the granting of the franchise under the Franchise Agreement, the negotiation and execution of the Franchise Agreement and any other agreement, and the cost of Franchise Opener “Countdown to Launch” and the Foundations Training Program.

2.  Deposit:  $5,000

• Prior to signing a Franchise Agreement, you are required to pay $2,500, or $500 if you qualify for Nurse Next Door’s Frontline to Franchisee program (the “Deposit”) to attend a Virtual Final Interview Day with several members of Nurse Next Door’s Operations and Leadership Team. Payment of the Deposit holds a particular territory open for you.

• If a particular territory has not been identified in the Deposit Agreement, you will have a period of time, not to exceed 6 months, during which a territory may be mutually agreed upon.

• The Deposit is refundable for a period of 30 days after the date of the Deposit Agreement, less Nurse Next Door’s costs. However, Nurse Next Door has the discretion to retain the entire Deposit if you have not cooperated with it or if there are other circumstances reasonably justifying retention.

• If you do not sign a Franchise Agreement with Nurse Next Door and pay the balance of the Initial Franchise Fee and the entire Start-up Technology Fee within 30 days after the date of the Deposit Agreement, the Deposit will be non-refundable.

• However, Nurse Next Door may refund the Deposit to you, less its costs, in certain circumstances. For example, if a territory is not mutually agreed upon within the time period specified in the Deposit Agreement and you have been reasonable and cooperative throughout the process of identifying a territory, or if Nurse Next Door withdraws its approval prior to your signing a Franchise Agreement.

• Nurse Next Door’s costs may include those reasonably incurred by it for meeting with you; for a review of your prospective territory; for obtaining demographic profiles; expenses related to travel, meals, and lodging; and reasonable legal fees and disbursements.

• If a Franchise Agreement and all other relevant documents are signed by you and Nurse Next Door, the entire Deposit will be applied as payment toward the Initial Franchise Fee.

• In certain circumstances, where Nurse Next Door does not reserve a date for a Virtual Final Interview Day, it may require you to pay a deposit of $5,000 to hold a particular territory open for you.

3.  Technology Start-up Fee:  $8,000

• Nurse Next Door charges an initial start-up technology fee of $8,000 to purchase initial software licenses and other costs relevant to start-up (the “Technology Start-up Fee”).

• If your participation in Nurse Next Door’s Franchise Opener “Countdown to Launch” and the Foundations Training Program demonstrates, in Nurse Next Door’s reasonable opinion, an inability to adequately manage and operate the Franchised Business and Nurse Next Door terminates your Franchise Agreement, then it will refund the Technology Start-up Fee less its reasonable costs (as described above under Initial Franchise Fee).
