Prior to the Repurchase Transactions, each of the sellers were regional developers for the Company pursuant to regional developer agreements and guarantees entered into by the Company, the applicable seller and the applicable guarantor. Under its regional developer program, the Company sells each regional developer the rights to open a minimum number of clinics in a defined territory. The regional developers in turn help the Company to identify and qualify potential new franchisees in that territory and assist the Company in providing field training, clinic openings and ongoing support. In return, the Company shares part of the initial franchise fee and pays the regional developer 3% of the 7% ongoing royalties the Company collects from the franchisees in their protected territory.
