We only consider offering franchises to individuals who have completed: (i) at least 6 months of regular classes held at a Dahn Yoga Center or Body and Brain Center; (ii) the Shim Sung workshop provided by BBYHC; (iii) the Qualified Instructor Training provided by BBYHC; and (iv) Health Coaching Training provided by our designated vocational school (currently the Institute of Brain Education).
Description of Franchised Business
Under your Body & Brain home-based franchise (referred to in this Disclosure Document as your “Business”), you will serve as a health coach and/or yoga instructor that provides holistic health and natural healing programs to individuals and small groups. You will utilize integrative lifestyle coaching to help people develop a healthy lifestyle using certain tools, such as counseling, exercise, media content and related products. You will utilize the Solar Body Method, which is a systemized training method that strengthens the body’s natural healing capacity.
Body & Brain home-based franchises offer coaching, online courses, private classes, outreach classes, worksite wellness classes and workshop registrations. Franchisees also have the option, but not the obligation, to sell certain approved products, including books, CDs, DVDs, subscriptions to online programs (including changeyourenergy.com and life particle television) and various devices that assist with the health and healing programs.
The franchise offered under this Disclosure Document is a home-based opportunity. You will not operate from a commercial office or retail space. Instead, you will conduct your Business at your clients’ homes and business locations (i.e., “on-site”). You may also utilize temporary space where you may offer classes, such as space made available to you at a church or community center. You may not establish a dedicated retail space or utilize any signage at any location where you conduct your Business.
As part of your Business, you will also have the opportunity to receive referral fees if you refer your clients to certain of our affiliated companies (including BBYHC) and they participate in a workshop, retreat, or other program offered by the affiliated company. These affiliated companies may include companies under common ownership with us or third parties operating under a license granted by us or one of our affiliates. In order to take advantage of these referral programs, you must sign the Referral Agreement that is attached to this Disclosure Document as EXHIBIT "F".
We will grant you a license to use certain trademarks, service marks, logos, trade dress and trade names, including the service marks “Body & Brain” (collectively, the “Marks”) in the operation of your Business. You must sign a franchise agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) and conduct your Business in accordance with the terms of the Franchise Agreement. The form of Franchise Agreement is attached to this Disclosure Document as EXHIBIT "C". Before you attend training, you must sign either the Franchise Agreement or the form of Training Agreement that is attached to this Disclosure Document as EXHIBIT "D" (the “Training Agreement”). Under the terms of the Training Agreement, you will have a period of 180 days after successfully completing training to sign the Franchise Agreement. If you do not sign the Franchise Agreement within that period of time, we will have no further obligation to grant you a franchise.
We have developed a unique system (the “System”) for Body & Brain home-based franchises. Distinctive characteristics of the System include logo, trade secrets, concept, proprietary programs and products, confidential operations manuals, marketing techniques and strategies, Solar Body Method of systemized training, coaching system (including specially developed media content and merchandise) and operating system.

business using the Marks, the System, the Body & Brain name, as well as the support, guidance and other
methods and materials provided or developed by us.
Market and Competition
The primary target market for Body & Brain home-based franchise customers includes individuals who want to develop their brain potential and create a healthier lifestyle. The alternative health industry is large, well developed, and highly competitive. A Body & Brain franchisee competes primarily with other businesses that provide healing and relaxation services, for instance life coaching, massage therapy, physical therapy and Yoga, as well as businesses that provide alternative medicine, for instance acupuncture, chiropractic services, homeopathy, herbs and energy therapies. Some of these businesses operate through franchises.
Laws and Regulations
There are no laws or regulations that are specific to this industry. However, in certain states, “health clubs” are subject to special laws and regulations and some of these laws may apply to your Business if it is deemed to be a health club. Among other things, these laws and regulations may impose requirements relating to the consumer contracts that your members will sign. The federal Truth in Lending Act may also require you to provide certain disclosures in these consumer contracts to the extent that you offer financing. You must hire an attorney to review the form of membership agreement and other consumer contracts that you use to ensure they comply with the laws of your state. You must comply with all federal and state licensing and other regulatory requirements for the operation of your Business. There may be other local, state and/or federal laws or regulations pertaining to your Business with which you must comply.

ITEM 3 LITIGATION
The People of the State of Illinois v. Body and Brain Center, LLC (Case No. 09CH925)
On October 22, 2009, the Attorney General of the State of Illinois filed a Complaint against us in the Circuit Court of the Seventh Judicial Circuit in Sangamon County, Illinois. The Complaint alleged that we violated the franchise fee deferral condition imposed by the State of Illinois because our parent, BBYHC, accepted franchise fees from Illinois franchisees before they opened their businesses. Without admitting any liability, we entered into a Final Judgment and Consent Decree to settle these claims. The Final Judgment and Consent Decree, which was filed with the Court simultaneously with the Complaint on October 22, 2009, required us to pay $15,000 to the State of Illinois for penalties and costs. The Final Judgment and Consent Decree also prohibited us (and our parent companies, affiliates and other related parties) from collecting franchise fees from Illinois franchisees before opening as long as the franchise offering remains subject to deferral by the State of Illinois.
Other than the 1 action listed above, no litigation is required to be disclosed in this Item.
ITEM 4 BANKRUPTCY
No bankruptcies are required to be disclosed in this Item.
ITEM 5 INITIAL FEES
Initial Training Fee
You must pay us an initial training fee of $10,000 before attending our initial franchise training program. Specifically, the training fee is due at the time you sign the Franchise Agreement (or Training Agreement, if applicable). You must pay us a separate $10,000 initial training fee for each person that attends initial training (we do not anticipate that any Body & Brain home-based franchisees will have more than 1 owner or will employ a manager during the initial phase of developing their business). The initial training fee is uniformly imposed on all Body & Brain home-based franchisees. We will refund the entire training fee if you notify us that you wish to cancel the franchise before you begin training. The initial training fee is not refundable under any other circumstances.
If you fail to successfully complete our initial training program, you must retake training and pay us a retraining fee of $400 for each instance where you must retake training. The retraining fee, which is due prior to attending the retraining session, is uniformly imposed and nonrefundable.
Shim Sung Workshop
Before you apply for the franchise, you must attend the Shim Sung workshop provided by BBYHC. You must pay BBYHC a fee ranging from $250 to $400 to attend the Shim Sung workshop. This fee is payable at the time you sign up for the Shim Sung workshop. The fee for the Shim Sung worship is uniform. The entire fee is refundable if you notify BBYHC that you will not attend the training program

Without admitting any liability, we entered into a Final Judgment and Consent Decree to settle these claims. The Final Judgment and Consent Decree, which was filed with the Court simultaneously with the Complaint on October 22, 2009, required us to pay $15,000 to the State of Illinois for penalties and costs. The Final Judgment and Consent Decree also prohibited us (and our parent companies, affiliates and other related parties) from collecting franchise fees from Illinois franchisees before opening as long as the franchise offering remains subject to deferral by the State of Illinois.
Other than the 1 action listed above, no litigation is required to be disclosed in this Item.
ITEM 4 BANKRUPTCY
No bankruptcies are required to be disclosed in this Item.
ITEM 5 INITIAL FEES
Initial Training Fee
You must pay us an initial training fee of $10,000 before attending our initial franchise training program. Specifically, the training fee is due at the time you sign the Franchise Agreement (or Training Agreement, if applicable). You must pay us a separate $10,000 initial training fee for each person that attends initial training (we do not anticipate that any Body & Brain home-based franchisees will have more than 1 owner or will employ a manager during the initial phase of developing their business). The initial training fee is uniformly imposed on all Body & Brain home-based franchisees. We will refund the entire training fee if you notify us that you wish to cancel the franchise before you begin training. The initial training fee is not refundable under any other circumstances.
If you fail to successfully complete our initial training program, you must retake training and pay us a retraining fee of $400 for each instance where you must retake training. The retraining fee, which is due prior to attending the retraining session, is uniformly imposed and nonrefundable.
Shim Sung Workshop
Before you apply for the franchise, you must attend the Shim Sung workshop provided by BBYHC. You must pay BBYHC a fee ranging from $250 to $400 to attend the Shim Sung workshop. This fee is payable at the time you sign up for the Shim Sung workshop. The fee for the Shim Sung worship is uniform. The entire fee is refundable if you notify BBYHC that you will not attend the training program
     {WS018017v1 }

     before training begins. However, if you provide this notice within 30 days of training, BBYHC may retain
an administrative fee of up to $50.
Qualified Instructor Training
Before you apply for the franchise, all Owners must complete the Qualified Instructor Training program provided by BBYHC. You must pay BBYHC a fee of $3,900 to attend the training. This fee is payable at the time you sign up for the training. The Qualified Instructor Training fee is uniform. The entire fee is refundable if you notify BBYHC that you will not attend the training program before training begins. However, if you provide this notice within 30 days of training, BBYHC may retain an administrative fee of up to $50.
We do not charge an initial franchise fee.
ITEM 6 OTHER FEES

     NOTES:
     
- 
       (1)  All fees are imposed by and are payable to us other than the Software License Fee, which is paid
to BBYHC. All fees are non-refundable and uniformly imposed on Body & Brain home-based
franchisees. You must sign an ACH Authorization Form (attached to the Franchise Agreement as
Attachment "B"), permitting us to electronically debit your designated bank account for payment
of all fees payable to us as well as any amounts that you owe to us or our affiliates for the
purchase of goods or services. You must deposit all revenues derived from the operation of your
Business into the bank account and ensure that there are sufficient funds available for withdrawal
before each due date. You must pay us all taxes that are imposed upon us or that we are required
to collect and pay by reason of the furnishing of products, intangible property (including
trademarks) or services to you.
 
- 
       (2)  “Program Sales” means all gross sums that you receive from all services that you sell (including
private class fees, outreach class fees, worksite class fees and referral fees). “Program Sales” do
not include (i) revenues from product sales, (ii) amounts refunded to customers or (iii) sales and
use taxes. Any amounts that are included in Program Sales for 1 reporting period but are
subsequently refunded will be deducted from your Program Sales for the next reporting period.
You must provide us with reports of your Program Sales as well as your product sales. You must
record all sales information on the same day that the sale takes place.
 
- 
       (3)  We may, but need not, offer periodic additional training programs. These programs are optional,
but if you choose to attend, we may charge you the additional training fee. Upon your request, we
may provide additional training that you request. We are not required to provide this training, but
if we agree to do so, you must pay us the additional training fee. You are also responsible for all
food, lodging and travel costs associated with additional training. If we travel to you to provide
the training, you must reimburse us for all food, lodging and travel expenses that we incur.
 
     {WS018017v1 }
    
     (FDD - 2015 Home-Based Minnesota)
    
     Page 6
    
- 
       (4)  You will pay us the $10,000 initial training fee disclosed in Item 5 for each person who attends
our initial training program. If you add a new owner or hire a manager after opening, you must
pay us the $10,000 initial training fee to train that person. If that person fails training on the initial
attempt, you must pay us the $400 retraining fee for each subsequent attempt. We expect that
most franchisees will not have multiple owners and will not hire a manager.
 
- 
       (5)  We have established and maintain an advertising fund for marketing, advertising and promotional
materials, public and consumer relations, publicity, and other programs that we may deem
necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion. You will have no voting rights pertaining to the
administration of the advertising fund, the creation and placement of the marketing materials or
the amount of the advertising fund fee.
 
- 
       (6)  We may establish regional advertising cooperatives for purposes of pooling advertising funds to
be used in discrete regions. We will collect the cooperative advertising fees and remit these fees
to the applicable advertising cooperative (unless we administer the advertising cooperative
ourselves). The amount of the cooperative advertising fee may be adjusted (or temporarily
suspended) upon the majority vote of all franchisees within the advertising cooperative. Any
Body & Brain home-based franchise that we operate will have the same voting power as third
party franchisees. If we own the majority of Body & Brain home-based franchises within an
advertising cooperative, we will not increase the cooperative advertising fee without the consent
of a majority of all third-party franchisees within the advertising cooperative. All cooperative
advertising fees will be uniformly imposed on all franchisees within the advertising cooperative,
including any Body & Brain home-based franchise that we operate.
 
- 
       (7)  We may hold periodic national conferences. These conferences are mandatory, unless you cannot
attend due to circumstances beyond your control. We may also waive the attendance requirement
in our sole discretion. We may charge you the national conference fee if you attend. These
conferences will likely be held in Arizona or New York, although we can select any location
within the continental United States. In addition to the fee, you are responsible for all food,
lodging and travel costs that you incur in attending a national conference. We may also conduct
national conferences by telephone or a web-based conference.
 
- 
       (8)  You must utilize BBYHC’s proprietary web-based operations software, BRMNet. You will sign
the Software Service Agreement attached to this Disclosure Document as EXHIBIT "G". You
must pay BBYHC a software fee of $50 per month for use of this software (the fee includes
technical support, updates and upgrades to the software). We reserve the right to change the
software that you must use at any time. If we require that you use software that is licensed from
us, we may require that you sign a software license agreement with us and we may charge you
commercially reasonable initial and ongoing licensing fees. Alternatively, we may enter into
other software license agreements with the licensors of the software and then sublicense the
software to you. If this occurs, we may charge you for all amounts that we must pay to the
licensor(s) based on your use of the software.
 
- 
       (9)  The audit fee must be paid only if (i) we find, after an audit, that you have understated any
amount due to us by at least 3% for any monthly period or (ii) the examination or audit is
required due to your failure to furnish required information or reports to us in a timely manner or
record sales properly. In addition to the audit fee, you must pay us all past due amounts, together
with any applicable late fee.
 
- 
       (10)  The transfer fee is only paid if you transfer or sell your franchise. We will not charge you the
transfer fee if you transfer the franchise to an entity that you control. The transferee must also pay
 
     {WS018017v1 }
    
     (FDD - 2015 Home-Based Minnesota)
    
     Page 7
    
     us $10,000 to provide initial training, unless the transferee has previously completed our
franchise training program.
     
    
- 
       (11)  We may impose a fine only if (i) you do not comply with our standards and you fail to correct the
noncompliance within the required corrective period or (ii) you receive a customer complaint and
fail to follow our complaint resolution process. All fines will be deposited into the advertising
fund.
 
- 
       (12)  We may charge the late fee on all overdue amounts under the Franchise Agreement. If the
Franchise Agreement does not specify a due date, interest begins to accrue 10 days after billing. If
there are sufficient funds in your designated checking account to cover all amounts due us as
these amounts become due and you provide us with reports of Program Sales and record sales on
a timely basis, you will not be charged a late fee.

     NOTES:
     
- 
       (1)  We do not offer direct or indirect financing to franchisees for any of these items. We will refund
the entire training fee if you notify us that you wish to cancel the franchise before you begin
training. No other fees payable to us are refundable. BBYHC will refund the training fee for Shim
Sung Workshop and Qualified Instructor Training if you notify BBYHC you will not attend
before training begins. However, if you provide this notice within 30 days of training, BBYHC
may retain an administrative fee of up to $50. In addition, the fee for Health Coaching Training
is refundable in part if you cancel training before completing 50% of training (in which case the
fee is refunded in proportion to the percentage of training completed). We are unaware of any
other fees payable to third party suppliers that are refundable.
 
- 
       (2)  You must pay all travel, food and lodging costs associated with attending the franchise training
program as well as the Shim Workshop, Qualified Instructor Training and Health Coaching
Training.
 
- 
       (3)  You have the option of purchasing approved inventory items for resale.
 
- 
       (4)  We recommend, but do not require, that you form a corporation or limited liability company to
act as franchisee under the Franchise Agreement and to operate your Business.
 
- 
       (5)  This estimates your expenses during the first 3 months of operation. These expenses include
monthly software fees (paid to us or BBYHC), advertising costs, utilities, postal costs, additional
inventory and office supplies, gas cost, and other miscellaneous expenses.
 
- 
       (6)  These figures are estimates based on the past experience of our parent companies and franchisees
in operating their Dahn Yoga Centers and Body & Brain Centers. Because we have not
previously operated or franchised the Body & Brain home-based franchise, these are merely
rough estimates of the costs you may incur. You may have additional expenses starting your
Business. Your costs will depend on a variety of factors, including how closely you follow our
 
     {WS018017v1 }
    
     (FDD - 2015 Home-Based Minnesota)
    
     Page 9
    
     methods and procedures as well as your management skills, experience and knowledge. We
strongly recommend that you have independent estimates on all of your start up and continuing
operation costs for your Business.
ITEM 8 RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Source Restricted Purchases and Leases – Generally
We require that you purchase or lease certain “source restricted” goods and services for the development and ongoing operation of your Business. By “source restricted,” we mean that the good or service must meet our specifications and/or must be purchased from an approved or designated supplier (in some cases, an exclusive designated supplier, which may be us or an affiliate). Our specifications and list of approved and designated suppliers are contained in the Manual. We will notify you within 30 days of any changes to our specifications or list of approved or designated suppliers. We may notify you of these changes in various ways, including written or electronic correspondence, verbal or telephonic notification, amendments or updates to the Manual, bulletins, or other means of communication.
Supplier Criteria
Our criteria for evaluating a supplier include standards for quality, delivery, performance, design, appearance and price of the product or service as well as the dependability, reputation and financial viability of the supplier. Upon your request, we will provide you with any objective specifications pertaining to our evaluation of a supplier, although certain important subjective criteria (e.g., product appearance, design, functionality, etc.) are important to our evaluation but cannot be described in writing.
If you want to purchase or lease a source restricted item from a non-approved supplier, you must send us a written request for approval and submit any additional information that we request. We may require that you send us samples from the supplier for testing. We may also require that we be allowed to inspect the supplier’s facilities. We will notify you of our approval or disapproval within 60 days after we receive your request for approval plus all additional information and samples that we require. We may, at our option, re-inspect the facilities and products of any approved supplier and revoke our approval if the supplier fails to meet any of our then-current criteria.
Current Source Restricted Items
As described below in more detail, we require that you purchase the following source restricted goods and services for use in the development and ongoing operation of your Business: all inventory, marketing materials, computer system, training, music and insurance policies. We estimate that between 85% and 95% of the total purchases that will be required to establish and operate your Business will consist of source restricted goods or services.
Inventory
You are not required to purchase any inventory for resale although you have the option to do so. All inventory that you purchase must meet our standards and specifications and must be purchased only from designated or approved suppliers.
Marketing Materials
All of your marketing materials must comply with our standards and requirements. We must approve all of your marketing materials before you use them. You may purchase marketing materials from any

     supplier of your choosing.
Computer System
Your computer system (including software and hardware) must meet our standards and specifications. You may purchase your computer from any supplier of your choosing. You must also utilize the web- based point of sale system that we specify (currently, BRMNet Software), which you will license from our affiliate BBYHC.
Training
In addition to the required training provided by us and our affiliates, you must also attend and complete Health Coaching Training, which is currently conducted by the Institute of Brain Education (we may change the designated vocational school).
Music
You may only play the music that we authorize from time to time relating to the operation of your Business.
Insurance
You must obtain the insurance coverage that we require from time to time (whether in the Franchise Agreement or in the Manual). You must purchase these policies from a carrier with an A.M. Best’s rating of A or better. The required coverage currently includes professional liability insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate (with a maximum deductible of $1,000 per claim); and any other limits and coverage that we periodically require in Manual. The required coverage and policies are subject to change. All insurance policies must: (i) name us (and our members, officers, directors, and employees) as additional insureds; (ii) contain a waiver by the insurance carrier of all subrogation rights against us; and (iii) provide that we receive 10 days’ prior written notice of the termination, expiration, cancellation or modification of the policy. These are just our minimum insurance requirements and you may wish to purchase additional coverage.
Purchase Agreements
At this time, we do not negotiate purchase agreements with suppliers. However, we may in the future try to establish relationships with suppliers to enable our affiliates and franchisees to purchase certain items at discounted prices. If we succeed, you will be able to purchase these items at the discounted prices that we negotiate (less any rebates or other consideration paid to us). Alternatively, we reserve the right to purchase the items in bulk and resell them to you at our cost plus a reasonable markup (your total cost to purchase the items from us will not exceed your total cost to purchase the items directly from the supplier without the benefit of our group purchasing power). There are no purchasing cooperatives, although we reserve the right to establish one or more purchasing cooperatives in the future. You do not receive any material benefits for using designated or approved suppliers other than having access to any discounted pricing that we negotiate.
Franchisor & Affiliate Revenues from Source Restricted Purchases
Although we are not currently an approved or designated supplier for any source restricted items, we reserve the right to designate ourselves as an approved or designated supplier in the future, in which case we may generate revenues from these purchases. We may receive rebates, payments or other material

     Training Program (Section 4 and Training Agreement)
Overview
We will provide you with an initial training program that will last approximately 8 days. All of your owners and manager must successfully complete the initial training program to our satisfaction. We expect that most franchisees will not have multiple owners and will not hire managers. You are not required to attend or complete training within any minimum period of time after signing the Franchise Agreement or prior to opening. However, you cannot begin operating your Business until you have successfully completed training (you must open your Business within 180 days after signing the Franchise Agreement).
The initial training program will likely take place at a resort in Sedona, Arizona (currently Sedona Mago Retreat Center) or Ellenville, New York (currently Honor’s Haven Resort & Spa). Currently, we intend to offer the initial training program at least 4 times per year.
Training Topics

Training Agreement
If you choose to attend training prior to signing the Franchise Agreement, you must sign the Training Agreement, the form of which is attached to this Disclosure Document as EXHIBIT "D". In that case, you must pay us the $10,000 initial training fee when you sign the Training Agreement (prior to training).
Supplemental Training Programs
As further discussed in Item 5, each Owner is also required to attend the Shim Sung Workshop and Qualified Instructor Training provided by BBYHC as well as Health Coaching Training which currently is provided by the Institute of Brain Education.

The Qualified Instructor Training usually takes place in Arizona or New York. Health Coaching Training currently takes place in Sedona, Arizona. You must complete these training programs before you apply for the franchise.
Ongoing Training
To maintain the uniformity and high standard of goods and services provided by Body & Brain franchisees or to modify these goods or services, we may, but need not, offer periodic additional training programs for franchisees.

Supplemental Training Programs
As further discussed in Item 5, each Owner is also required to attend the Shim Sung Workshop and Qualified Instructor Training provided by BBYHC as well as Health Coaching Training which currently is provided by the Institute of Brain Education. The Shim Sung Workshop is held from time to time in numerous cities across the country. Usually, the training facility is located near a Body & Brain Center. The Qualified Instructor Training usually takes place in Arizona or New York. Health Coaching Training currently takes place in Sedona, Arizona. You must complete these training programs before you apply for the franchise.
Ongoing Training
To maintain the uniformity and high standard of goods and services provided by Body & Brain franchisees or to modify these goods or services, we may, but need not, offer periodic additional training programs for franchisees.

Advertising Fund (Sections 8.1)
We have established and administer an advertising fund. We administer a single advertising fund for Body & Brain home-based franchisees and Body & Brain Center franchisees. The advertising fund will be used for local, regional or national marketing, advertising, sales promotion and promotional materials, public and consumer relations, publicity, website development, search engine optimization and any other programs that we deem necessary or appropriate. Currently, we intend to use the advertising fund to further develop the publicly accessible Body & Brain website to promote the brand and Body & Brain Centers and Body & Brain home-based franchises. The advertising fund may also be used to pay for the creation of marketing materials that our franchisees may use for local marketing purposes.
Advertising fund fees will be kept in a separate account and revenues received will be accounted for separately from our other funds and will not be used to defray any of our general operating expenses, except for such reasonable salaries, administrative costs and overhead as we may incur in activities reasonably related to the administration or direction of the advertising fund and its local, regional or national advertising programs (which may include, without limitation: conducting market research, preparing and conducting television, radio, magazine, billboard, Internet, newspaper, digital advertising and other media programs and activities and employing advertising agencies to assist therewith, collecting and accounting for contributions to the advertising fund, and paying for the preparation and distribution of marketing materials and financial accountings of the advertising fund). None of the advertising fund fees will be used for advertisements principally directed at selling additional franchises. All funds deposited into the advertising fund that are not used in the fiscal year in which they accrue will be utilized in the following fiscal year. Any surplus of funds in the advertising fund may be invested and we may lend money to the advertising fund if there is a deficit. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we spent the advertising fund fees in the following manner: 26.1% for production; 0% for media placement; 9.5% for administrative expenses; and 64.4% for other purposes (bodynbrain.com website renewal and maintenance, monthly subscription to newsletters provided by BBYHC).
You must pay us an advertising fund fee equal to 0.5% of your Program Sales (defined in Item 6). We will deposit into the advertising fund all: (i) advertising fund fees paid by you and other franchisees (unless we allocate the fees to an advertising cooperative); (ii) fines paid by you and other franchisees; (iii) rebates or other payments we receive from suppliers based on franchisee purchases; and (iv) Online Payment Proceeds (defined below under Local Advertising). The amount of Online Payment Proceeds we collect for sessions you conduct will be credited against your advertising fund fee. Any company-owned Body & Brain Center or Body & Brain home-based franchise will contribute to the advertising fund on the same basis as our Body & Brain home-based franchisees (0.5% of Program Sales). However, if we modify the amount or timing of the contributions that must be made to the advertising fund, any company-owned Body & Brain Center or Body & Brain home-based franchise that is established or acquired after the modification may contribute to the advertising fund utilizing the modified amount or timing. Except as stated in this paragraph, we have no obligation to expend our own funds or resources for any marketing activities in your area.

     Our administration of the advertising fund is intended to maximize general public recognition and
patronage of the Body & Brain System for the benefit of us and all Body & Brain franchisees and we will
use our best efforts to apportion advertising to obtain the greatest benefit for all franchisees. We will
direct and have complete control and discretion over all advertising programs, including the creative
concepts, materials, endorsements and media used for the programs, and the placement and allocation of
the programs. We anticipate that the advertising will primarily consist of Internet ads and brochures. We
assume no direct or indirect liability or obligation to you with respect to the maintenance, direction or
administration of the advertising fund. The advertising fund will not be a trust and we will have no
fiduciary obligations with respect to our administration of the advertising fund. An unaudited financial
accounting of the operations of the advertising fund will be prepared annually and made available to you
upon request.
Local Advertising (Section 8.3 & 8.5)
We do not require that you spend any minimum amount on local advertising. We will provide you with standardized marketing plans and advertising, promotional and marketing materials. Alternatively, we may enter into relationships with approved or designated suppliers who will create advertising or marketing materials that must be purchased and utilized by Body & Brain franchisees. You will also have an opportunity to create advertising for your own use, provided we approve it in advance. You may not use any advertising materials that have not been approved by us. You must submit to us any advertising materials prepared by you and we will have 5 business days to review and either approve or reject the materials. If we fail to respond within the 5 day period, the materials are deemed approved. We may later disapprove of materials that we previously approved.
We began administering an online payment program in 2013. Under the program, potential customers can purchase and pay for Introductory Class sessions (introductory one-on-one sessions) and Trial Class sessions (introductory group class) offered by franchisees through our website. By participating, you agree that: (i) we will list you on our website as a Body and Brain home-based franchise that is participating in the Online Payment Program; (ii) we will allow new potential customers of yours to purchase an Introductory Class session or Trial Class session through our website by electronic payment; and (iii) we may offer a discount for online payment, provided that the minimum required payment will be equal to or exceed 50% of our then-current suggested retail pricing for Introductory Class sessions or Trial Class sessions, as applicable. The payments we collect are referred to as “Online Payment Proceeds”. We will deposit all Online Payment Proceeds that we collect from this program into the advertising fund and all Online Payment Proceeds for sessions that you conduct will be credited towards your advertising fund fee.
You are not allowed to develop or maintain your own website. We will list your information on our website. You are permitted to engage in online advertising as long as we approve the content of the advertisement and means of communication in advance. You also may advertise through approved social media sites. At all times you must comply with any social media policy that we develop.
You agree to participate in all coupon deals that we specify, such as Groupon. You agree that we may enter into agreements with these companies on behalf of you and other franchisees and we have the right to collect the funds generated through the program and distribute them to franchisees based on where the services are redeemed. You also agree to participate in all discount and referral programs that we specify, such as Beneplace. In these arrangements, a third party refers potential customers to franchisees and the customers receive a discounted rate. Under these programs, you may be required to pay commissions to the party referring the customers to you and you must honor the discounted rate that we negotiate.
All proceeds from coupon deals or discount and referral programs will be credited towards your

     obligation to pay royalty fees. To the extent these proceeds for a given month exceed your required
royalty fee for that month, the excess amount will be carried forward and applied against your required
royalty fee in the subsequent month. If your Franchise Agreement expires and, as of the expiration date,
the amount of the proceeds exceeds the total credits you have received for your required royalty fees, the
excess amounts will be refunded to you within 30 days after the expiration of the Franchise Agreement.
We will notify you of all coupon or discount and referral transactions pertaining to your Business in a
timely manner.
Advertising Cooperatives (Section 8.4)
We may, but need not, form one or more advertising cooperatives for the benefit of all Body & Brain home-based franchisees located within a particular region. If you operate within a region subject to an advertising cooperative (determined by whether your home office is located in the cooperative area), you must pay the cooperative advertising fee, which will not exceed 0.5% of Program Sales. We have the right to allocate any portion of the advertising fund fees to an advertising cooperative. We also have the right to determine the composition of all geographic territories and market areas for the implementation of each advertising cooperative. Generally, the boundaries of an advertising cooperative will coincide with a city’s metropolitan area.
If we implement an advertising cooperative in a particular region, we have the right to establish an advertising council to self-administer the cooperative or we can administer the cooperative ourselves. You must participate in the council according to the council’s rules and procedures and you must abide by the council’s decisions. Advertising cooperatives are not required to operate from written governing documents. Advertising cooperatives will prepare annual or periodic financial statements. These financial statements will be made available to franchisees within the advertising cooperative upon request. We reserve the right to form, change, merge or dissolve advertising cooperatives in our discretion.
Advisory Council (Section 10)
We may create an Advisory Council to provide us with suggestions to improve the System, including matters such as marketing, operations and new product or service suggestions. We would consider all suggestions from the advisory council in good faith, but we would not be bound by any such suggestions. The Advisory Council would be established and operated according to rules and regulations we periodically approve, including procedures governing the selection of representatives of the Advisory Council to communicate with us on matters raised by the Advisory Council. You would have the right to be a member of the Advisory Council as long as you are not in default under the Franchise Agreement and you do not act in a disruptive, abusive or counterproductive manner, as determined by us in our discretion. As a member, you would be entitled to all voting rights and privileges granted to other members of the Advisory Council. We would not have any members on the Advisory Council. Each member would be granted one vote on all matters on which members would be authorized to vote. If established, we may require that the Advisory Council for Body & Brain home-based franchisees be separate and distinct from the Advisory Council for Body & Brain Center franchisees. We would reserve the power to form, change or dissolve the Advisory Council in our discretion.
Computer System (Section 9.5)
You must purchase a computer system that meets our standards and specifications. Your computer system must include a computer with the most current version of MS Windows XP or Vista 7 or 8, Microsoft Office Suite (which must include Excel, Word and PowerPoint), high speed internet connection, printer/copy machine and webcam. Your computer system may also include an optional usb magnetic/barcode reader and thermal receipt printer. You must also purchase a web-based point of sale

     system and use the software that we specify (currently the web-based operations software, BRMNet).
Your computer system will be used for accounting, tracking sales and managing and storing information
about your members. We will have independent access to the data entered into BRMNet, although we will
not have independent access to any other information generated or stored on your computer system.
We estimate that the cost of your Computer System will range from $1,100 to $2,700. You must maintain the computer system and other equipment in good working order at your cost. During the term of your franchise, you may be required to change, upgrade or update your computer system to conform to our then-current specifications. There are no contractual limitations on the frequency or cost of these changes, updates or upgrades.
You must pay our parent, BBYHC, a monthly fee of $50 per month ($600 per year) for use of BRMNet. In exchange for this fee, BBYHC will provide all ongoing maintenance, support, upgrades and updates for the associated software. Most new computers come with a limited warranty where the manufacturer is obligated to provide certain ongoing services, such as support and repairs, for a limited period of time. Except as otherwise disclosed above: (i) neither we nor any other party has any obligation to provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades or updates to your computer system; and (ii) we are not aware of any optional or required maintenance, updating, upgrading or support contracts relating to your computer system.
If we develop any proprietary software (or we license software from a licensor and then sublicense the software to you), you must enter into a software license agreement with us that will govern the terms according to which you may use the software. If we do so, we may require that you pay us commercially reasonable initial and ongoing license fees.
Opening Requirements (Section 6)
You may not begin operating your Business until you have successfully completed the initial training program to our satisfaction. We anticipate that a typical Body & Brain home-based franchisee will begin operating their business within 90 to 180 days after signing the Franchise Agreement (or Training Agreement, if applicable). The primary factors affecting this time are completion of training and obtaining the required insurance and business licenses. Unless we agree to the contrary, you must begin operating your Business within 180 days after you sign the Franchise Agreement. Your failure to open within the 180-day period (or any approved extension period) constitutes an event of default under your Franchise Agreement.
ITEM 12 TERRITORY
Business Location
The franchise offered under this Disclosure Document is a home-based business. You will provide Body & Brain products and services “on-site” at the customer’s location (such as a home or office). You may also offer Body & Brain products from “temporary space” such as a church or community center. However, you may not operate from a dedicated retail space. You do not need our approval of the location of your home office or any other site where you offer Body & Brain products and services. However, you must: (i) notify us of your home office address (and any changes); and (ii) only operate within the state in which your home office is located (unless we authorize you in writing to operate outside of your state). There are no restrictions on your right to relocate your Business, except you may not relocate to another state without our approval. We would approve the relocation as long as we are authorized to offer and sell franchises in that state, or if the relocation would not trigger the new state’s franchise registration or disclosure laws.

     No Exclusive Territory
You will not receive an exclusive territory. You may face competition from other franchisees, from outlets that we own, or from other channels of distribution or competitive brands that we control.
There are no restrictions on our ability to solicit customers or sell competitive or identical goods or services in your area. We may solicit customers and sell competitive or identical goods or services through alternative channels of distribution, including under the Marks or under any other trademark. Examples of alternative channels of distribution include sales over the Internet, catalog sales, telemarketing and other direct marketing. We are not required to pay you any compensation if we sell any competitive or identical goods or services to customers located in your area.
Restrictions on Your Sales and Marketing Activities
You are not granted a territory or restricted to operating your Business within any defined geographic area (other than the state in which your home office is located). You cannot develop or maintain your own website. You are permitted to engage in online advertising as long as we approve the content of the advertisement and means of communication in advance. You also may advertise through approved social media sites. At all times you must comply with any social media policy that we develop. You can market and sell through any other channel of distribution (other than through a website, as we exclusively control the marketing and sale of Body & Brain products and services through a website). You cannot solicit, or sell products or services to, any person who is a current member of another franchisee or company-owned franchised business without the consent of the owner of the business with whom the person is a member. There are no other restrictions on your right to solicit customers, whether from inside or outside of your market area.
Additional Territories
You are not granted any options, rights of first refusal or similar rights to acquire additional territories or franchises. However, you have the option to upgrade from a Body & Brain home-based franchise to a Body & Brain Center franchisee if: (i) you have substantially complied with the terms of your Franchise Agreement; (ii) you pay the then-current upgrade fee for a Body & Brain Center franchise ($5,000 to convert to a Body & Brain Center 2 and $10,000 to convert to a Body & Brain Center 3); (iii) you complete the Leadership Training program that we specify; and (iv) you sign our then current form of franchise agreement for a Body & Brain Center franchise.
Competitive Businesses Under Different Marks
We also offer franchises for Body & Brain Centers, including Body & Brain Center 2 (for centers that are 400 square feet or less) and Body & Brain Center 3 (for centers more than 400 square feet). Body & Brain Centers operate under the same Marks and offer similar services. However, they also offer special trainings and group class memberships that Body & Brain home-based franchisees cannot offer. Body & Brain Centers can only offer products and services from a dedicated location that is branded with Body & Brain signage. There are both company-owned and franchised Body & Brain Centers. Body & Brain Centers may solicit and sell to customers located in your area. We do not anticipate any conflicts between Body & Brain home-based franchisees and Body & Brain Center franchisees regarding franchise support or territories. However, Body & Brain home-based franchisees may not solicit or sell to members of a Body & Brain Center or members of another Body & Brain home-based franchisee. Similarly, Body & Brain Center franchisees may not divert customers from other franchisees, including Body & Brain home- based franchisees. We would mediate any dispute in order to promote the best interests of the customers and the Body & Brain brand as a whole.
    
You will not receive an exclusive territory. You may face competition from other franchisees, from outlets that we own, or from other channels of distribution or competitive brands that we control.
There are no restrictions on our ability to solicit customers or sell competitive or identical goods or services in your area. We may solicit customers and sell competitive or identical goods or services through alternative channels of distribution, including under the Marks or under any other trademark. Examples of alternative channels of distribution include sales over the Internet, catalog sales, telemarketing and other direct marketing. We are not required to pay you any compensation if we sell any competitive or identical goods or services to customers located in your area.
Restrictions on Your Sales and Marketing Activities
You are not granted a territory or restricted to operating your Business within any defined geographic area (other than the state in which your home office is located). You cannot develop or maintain your own website. You are permitted to engage in online advertising as long as we approve the content of the advertisement and means of communication in advance. You also may advertise through approved social media sites. At all times you must comply with any social media policy that we develop. You can market and sell through any other channel of distribution (other than through a website, as we exclusively control the marketing and sale of Body & Brain products and services through a website). You cannot solicit, or sell products or services to, any person who is a current member of another franchisee or company-owned franchised business without the consent of the owner of the business with whom the person is a member. There are no other restrictions on your right to solicit customers, whether from inside or outside of your market area.
Additional Territories
You are not granted any options, rights of first refusal or similar rights to acquire additional territories or franchises. However, you have the option to upgrade from a Body & Brain home-based franchise to a Body & Brain Center franchisee if: (i) you have substantially complied with the terms of your Franchise Agreement; (ii) you pay the then-current upgrade fee for a Body & Brain Center franchise ($5,000 to convert to a Body & Brain Center 2 and $10,000 to convert to a Body & Brain Center 3); (iii) you complete the Leadership Training program that we specify; and (iv) you sign our then current form of franchise agreement for a Body & Brain Center franchise.
Competitive Businesses Under Different Marks
We also offer franchises for Body & Brain Centers, including Body & Brain Center 2 (for centers that are 400 square feet or less) and Body & Brain Center 3 (for centers more than 400 square feet). Body & Brain Centers operate under the same Marks and offer similar services. However, they also offer special trainings and group class memberships that Body & Brain home-based franchisees cannot offer. Body & Brain Centers can only offer products and services from a dedicated location that is branded with Body & Brain signage. There are both company-owned and franchised Body & Brain Centers. Body & Brain Centers may solicit and sell to customers located in your area. We do not anticipate any conflicts between Body & Brain home-based franchisees and Body & Brain Center franchisees regarding franchise support or territories.

Similarly, Body & Brain Center franchisees may not divert customers from other franchisees, including Body & Brain home- based franchisees. We would mediate any dispute in order to promote the best interests of the customers and the Body & Brain brand as a whole.

     Our parent company and affiliates currently operate approximately 71 Dahn Yoga Centers in the United
States (66 operated by BBYHC and 5 operated by CGI, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Dahn World).
BBYHC’s principal business address is 3651 East Baseline Road, Suite 228, Gilbert, Arizona 85234.
CGI, Inc.’s principal business address is 111 Homans Ave., Closter, New Jersey 07624. None of the Dahn
Yoga Centers are franchises. In the past, Dahn Yoga Centers have not operated under the Body & Brain
Center Mark. Instead, they have operated under the mark “Dahn Yoga Center.” However, it is currently
anticipated that all Dahn Yoga Centers operated by our parent company and affiliates will rebrand to
Body & Brain Centers in 2015. Dahn Yoga Centers sell goods and services that are similar or identical to
the goods and services sold by Body & Brain franchisees, including physical exercise and meditation
training. They also offer products and services that are different from, but complementary to, the products
and services offered by Body & Brain Centers.

all printing costs). Alternatively, we may enter into relationships with third party suppliers who will
create the advertising or marketing materials for your purchase. We will provide reasonable marketing
consulting, guidance and support throughout the Term on an as needed basis.
8.3 Your Marketing Activities
(a) Generally. Although you are encouraged to engage in local advertising, you are not required to spend any minimum amount on local advertising to promote your Business. However, you must participate at your own expense in all advertising, promotional and marketing programs that we require. All advertisements and promotions that you create or use must be completely factual and conform to the highest standards of ethical advertising and comply with all federal, state and local laws. You must ensure that your advertisements and promotional materials do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any person.
(b) Approval of Advertising. We must approve all advertising and promotional materials that were not prepared or previously approved by us before you use them (including materials that we prepare or approve and you modify).

You may not use any advertising or promotional materials that we have disapproved (including materials that we previously approved).
(c) Online Advertising. You are not allowed to develop or maintain your own website. We will list your information on our website. You are permitted to engage in online advertising as long as we approve the content of the advertisement and means of communication in advance pursuant to Section 8.3(b).

You also agree to participate in all discount and referral programs that we specify, such as Beneplace. In these arrangements, a third party refers potential customers to franchisees and the customers receive a discounted rate. Under these programs, you may be required to pay commissions to the party referring the customers to you. All proceeds from coupon deals or discount and referral programs will be credited towards your obligation to pay royalty fees. To the extent such proceeds for a given month exceed your required royalty fee for that month, the excess amount will be carried forward and applied against your required royalty fee in the subsequent month. If this Agreement expires and, as of the expiration date, the amount of such proceeds exceeds the total credits you have received for your required royalty fees, the excess amounts will be refunded to you within 30 days after the expiration of this Agreement. We will notify you of all coupon or discount and referral transactions pertaining to your Business in a timely manner.
8.4 Advertising Cooperative. We have the right, but not the obligation, to create one or more advertising cooperatives for the purpose of creating and/or purchasing advertising programs for the benefit of all franchisees operating within a particular region.

(b) Approval of Advertising.

You may not use any advertising or promotional materials that we have disapproved (including materials that we previously approved).
(c) Online Advertising. You are not allowed to develop or maintain your own website. We will list your information on our website. You are permitted to engage in online advertising as long as we approve the content of the advertisement and means of communication in advance pursuant to Section 8.3(b).

To the extent such proceeds for a given month exceed your required royalty fee for that month, the excess amount will be carried forward and applied against your required royalty fee in the subsequent month. If this Agreement expires and, as of the expiration date, the amount of such proceeds exceeds the total credits you have received for your required royalty fees, the excess amounts will be refunded to you within 30 days after the expiration of this Agreement. We will notify you of all coupon or discount and referral transactions pertaining to your Business in a timely manner.
8.4 Advertising Cooperative. We have the right, but not the obligation, to create one or more advertising cooperatives for the purpose of creating and/or purchasing advertising programs for the benefit of all franchisees operating within a particular region. We have the right to: (i) allocate any portion of the advertising fund fee to the advertising cooperative; (ii) determine the composition of all geographic territories and market areas for each advertising cooperative; and (iii) require that you
     {WS018017v1 }4
    
     participate in any advertising cooperative if and when established by us. If we implement an advertising
cooperative, we may establish an advertising council to self-administer the advertising cooperative. You
must participate in the council according to the council’s rules and procedures and you must abide by the
council’s decisions. Alternatively, we may administer the advertising cooperative ourselves. We reserve
the right to form, change, merge or dissolve advertising cooperatives in our discretion. You must pay the
monthly cooperative advertising fee established by us or the council, as applicable, which will be due on
the fifth (5th) day of each month for the prior month’s operations. The initial cooperative advertising fee
shall be equal to 0.5% of Program Sales. Upon the majority vote of all franchisees within the advertising
cooperative, the amount of the cooperative advertising fee may be adjusted (or temporarily suspended) or
the cooperative advertising fee may be eliminated altogether. If we or an affiliate of ours operate a
majority of the Body & Brain home-based franchises within the advertising cooperative, we will increase
the cooperative advertising fee only with the consent of all franchisees within the advertising cooperative.
We will collect all cooperative advertising fees and pay them to the applicable advertising cooperative
unless we administer the advertising cooperative ourselves.

You agree that we will retain 100% of the electronic payments made by customers through our Online Payment Program (referred to as “Online Payment Proceeds”). All Online Payment Proceeds will be depositing into the advertising fund and will be utilized solely for Advertising Campaigns. All Online Payment Proceeds attributable to purchases of Introductory Class sessions and Trial Class sessions relating to your Business will be included in your reporting of Program Sales. All Online Payment Proceeds will be credited towards your obligation to contribute to the advertising fund. To the extent your Online Payment Proceeds for a given month exceed your required contribution to the advertising fund for that month, the excess amount will be carried forward and applied against your required contribution to the advertising fund in the subsequent month. If this Agreement expires and, as of the expiration date, the amount of your Online Payment Proceeds exceeds the total credits you have received for your required contributions to the advertising fund, the excess amounts will be refunded to you within 30 days after the expiration of this Agreement. We will notify you of all online payment transactions pertaining to your Business in a timely manner.

We will not impose a late fee for any amounts paid pursuant to Section 12.4 if, but only to the extent that, sufficient funds were available in your Account to be applied towards the payments at the time the payments became due and payable. However, we may impose a late fee for any amounts that we are unable to reasonably determine due to your failure to furnish us with a report required by Section 14.3 within the required period of time or record sales in a timely manner, in which case we may assess a late fee on the entire amount that was due and payable. You acknowledge that this Section 12.3 shall not constitute our agreement to accept the late payments after same are due, or a commitment by us to extend credit to or otherwise finance the operation of your Business.
12.4 Method of Payment. You must complete and send us an ACH Authorization Form allowing us to electronically debit a banking account that you designate (your “Account”) for: (i) all fees payable to us pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) any amounts that you owe to us or any of our affiliates for the purchase of goods or services.

In such event, we will collect all proceeds, deduct all fees owed to us and our affiliates, and promptly remit the balance to you.

13. BRAND PROTECTION COVENANTS.
13.1 Reason for Covenants. You acknowledge that our Intellectual Property and the training and assistance that we provide would not be acquired except through implementation of this Agreement. You also acknowledge that competition by you, the Owners or persons associated with you or the Owners (including family members) could seriously jeopardize the entire franchise system because you and the Owners have received an advantage through knowledge of our day-to-day operations and Know-how related to the System. Accordingly, you and the Owners agree to comply with the covenants described in this Section to protect our Intellectual Property and our franchise system.
13.2 Our Know-how. You and the Owners agree: (i) neither you nor any Owner will use the Know-how in any business or capacity other than the operation of your Business pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) you and the Owners will maintain the confidentiality of the Know-how at all times; (iii) neither you nor any Owner will make unauthorized copies of documents containing any Know-how; (iv) you and the Owners will take all reasonable steps that we require from time to time to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the Know-how; and (v) you and the Owners will stop using the Know- how immediately upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and any Owner who ceases to be an Owner before the expiration or termination of the franchise will stop using the Know-how immediately at the time he or she ceases to be an Owner.
13.3 Unfair Competition During Term. You and your Owners agree not to unfairly compete with us during the Term by engaging in any of the following activities (“Prohibited Activities”): (i) owning, operating or having any other interest (as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, manager, consultant, shareholder, creditor, representative or agent) in any Competitive Business, other than owning an interest of five percent (5%) or less in a publicly traded company that is a Competitive Business; (ii) diverting or attempting to divert any business from us (or one of our affiliates or franchisees); (iii) selling any Body & Brain products or services to any person who is a current member of another franchisee or company-owned Body & Brain outlet without the consent of the person with whom the person is a member; or (iv) inducing (a) any of our employees or managers (or those of our affiliates or franchisees) to leave their position or (b) any customer of ours (or of one of our affiliates or franchisees) to transfer their business to you or to any other person that is not then a franchisee of ours.
13.4 Unfair Competition After Term. During the Post-Term Restricted Period, you and your Owners agree not to engage in any Prohibited Activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and your Owners may have an interest in a Competitive Business during the Post-Term Restricted Period as long as the Competitive Business is not located within, and does not provide competitive goods or services to customers who are located within, the Restricted Territory. If you or an Owner engages in a Prohibited Activity during the Post-Term Restricted Period (other than having an interest in a Competitive Business that is permitted under this Section), then the Post-Term Restricted Period applicable to you or the non-compliant Owner, as applicable, shall be extended by the period of time during which you or the non-compliant Owner, as applicable, engaged in the Prohibited Activity.
13.5 Immediate Family Members. The Owners acknowledge that they could circumvent the purpose of Section 13 by disclosing Know-how to an immediate family member (i.e., spouse, parent, sibling, child, or grandchild). The Owners also acknowledge that it would be difficult for us to prove whether the Owners disclosed the Know-how to family members. Therefore, each Owner agrees that he or she will be presumed to have violated the terms of Section 13 if any member of his or her immediate family engages in any Prohibited Activities or uses or discloses the Know-how. However, the Owner may rebut this presumption by furnishing evidence conclusively showing that the Owner did not disclose the Know-how to the family member.

13.3 Unfair Competition During Term. You and your Owners agree not to unfairly compete with us during the Term by engaging in any of the following activities (“Prohibited Activities”): (i) owning, operating or having any other interest (as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, manager, consultant, shareholder, creditor, representative or agent) in any Competitive Business, other than owning an interest of five percent (5%) or less in a publicly traded company that is a Competitive Business; (ii) diverting or attempting to divert any business from us (or one of our affiliates or franchisees); (iii) selling any Body & Brain products or services to any person who is a current member of another franchisee or company-owned Body & Brain outlet without the consent of the person with whom the person is a member; or (iv) inducing (a) any of our employees or managers (or those of our affiliates or franchisees) to leave their position or (b) any customer of ours (or of one of our affiliates or franchisees) to transfer their business to you or to any other person that is not then a franchisee of ours.

we incur in enforcing a Brand Protection Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.

YOU AND THE OWNERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO CHALLENGE THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 13 AS BEING OVERLY BROAD, UNREASONABLE OR OTHERWISE UNENFORCEABLE.
13.8 Breach of Covenants. You and the Owners agree that failure to comply with the terms of this Section 13 will cause substantial and irreparable damage to us and/or other Body & Brain franchisees for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, you and the Owners agree that any violation of the terms of this Section 13 will entitle us to injunctive relief. We may apply for such injunctive relief, without bond, but upon due notice, in addition to such further and other relief as may be available at equity or law, and the sole remedy of yours, in the event of the entry of such injunction, will be the dissolution of such injunction, if warranted, upon hearing duly held (all claims for damages by reason of the wrongful issuance of any such injunction being expressly waived hereby). If a court requires the filing of a bond notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties agree that the amount of the bond shall not exceed $1,000. None of the remedies available to us under this Agreement are exclusive of any other, but may be combined with others under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, including injunctive relief, specific performance and recovery of monetary damages.

If you fail to maintain any required insurance coverage, we have the right to obtain the coverage on your behalf (which right shall be at our option and in addition to our other rights and remedies in this Agreement), and you must promptly sign all applications and other forms and instruments required to obtain the insurance and pay to us, on demand, all costs and premiums that we

     21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The parties agree to submit any claim, dispute or disagreement,
including any matter pertaining to the interpretation of this Agreement or issues relating to the offer and
sale of the franchise or the relationship between you and us or between you and any Indemnified Party (a
“Dispute”) to mediation before a mutually-agreeable mediator prior to arbitration. If the Dispute cannot
be resolved by mediation, the parties will submit the dispute to mandatory and binding arbitration
conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
party filing the arbitration must initially bear the cost of any arbitration fees or costs. The arbitrators will
not have authority to award exemplary or punitive damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Dispute
that involves an alleged breach of Section 13 or Section 16 of this Agreement will not be subject to
mediation or arbitration unless otherwise agreed to by both parties, and either party may immediately file
a lawsuit in accordance with this Section with respect to any alleged breach of Section 13 or Section 16.
All mediation, arbitration and litigation shall take place in the county in which we maintain our principal
place of business at the time the Dispute arises (currently, Maricopa County, Arizona) and the parties
irrevocably waive any objection to such venue. If we or you must enforce this Agreement in a judicial or
arbitration proceeding, the substantially prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement of its costs and
expenses, including reasonable accounting and legal fees. In addition, if you breach any term of this
Agreement or any other agreement with us or an affiliate of ours, you agree reimburse us for all
reasonable legal fees and other expenses we incur relating to such breach, regardless of whether the
breach is cured prior to the commencement of any dispute resolution proceedings. UNLESS
PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE (OTHER THAN FOR PAYMENT OF
MONIES OWED OR A VIOLATION OF SECTION 13 OR SECTION 16) MUST BE BROUGHT
BY FILING A WRITTEN DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION (OR IF PERMITTED, LITIGATION)
WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR FOLLOWING THE CONDUCT, ACT OR OTHER EVENT OR
OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR THE RIGHT TO ANY REMEDY WILL
BE DEEMED FOREVER WAIVED AND BARRED. WE AND YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE:
(i) TRIAL BY JURY; AND (ii) THE RIGHT TO ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ON A CLASS
ACTION BASIS, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER AT
LAW OR IN EQUITY, BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES.

     23. GENERAL PROVISIONS
    
     {WS018017v1 }16
    
     23.1 Governing Law. Except as governed by the United States Trademark Act of 1946
(Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1051, et seq.), this Agreement and the franchise relationship shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Arizona (without reference to its principles of conflicts of law), but
any law of the State of Arizona that regulates the offer and sale of franchises or business opportunities or
governs the relationship of a franchisor and its franchisee will not apply unless its jurisdictional
requirements are met independently without reference to this Section.
23.2 Relationship of the Parties. You understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement creates a fiduciary relationship between you and us or is intended to make either party a general or special agent, legal representative, subsidiary, joint venture, partner, employee or servant of the other for any purpose. During the Term, you must conspicuously identify yourself at your base of operations, and in all dealings with third parties, as a franchisee of ours and the independent owner of your Business. You agree to place such other notices of independent ownership on such forms, stationery, advertising, business cards and other materials as we may require from time to time. Neither we nor you are permitted to make any express or implied agreement, warranty or representation, or incur any debt, in the name of or on behalf of the other, or represent that our relationship is other than franchisor and franchisee. In addition, neither we nor you will be obligated by or have any liability under any agreements or representations made by the other that are not expressly authorized by this Agreement.
23.3 Severability and Substitution. Each section, subsection, term and provision of this Agreement, and any portion thereof, shall be considered severable. If any applicable and binding law imposes mandatory, non-waivable terms or conditions that conflict with a provision of this Agreement, the terms or conditions required by such law shall govern to the extent of the inconsistency and supersede the conflicting provision of this Agreement. If a court concludes that any promise or covenant in this Agreement is unreasonable and unenforceable: (i) the court may modify such promise or covenant to the minimum extent necessary to make such promise or covenant enforceable; or (ii) we may unilaterally modify such promise or covenant to the minimum extent necessary to make such promise or covenant enforceable.
23.4 Waivers. We and you may by written instrument unilaterally waive or reduce any obligation of or restriction upon the other. Any waiver granted by us shall be without prejudice to any other rights we may have. We and you shall not be deemed to have waived or impaired any right, power or option reserved by this Agreement (including the right to demand exact compliance with every term, condition and covenant in this Agreement or to declare any breach of this Agreement to be a default and to terminate the franchise before the expiration of its term) by virtue of: (i) any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) any failure, refusal or neglect of us or you to exercise any right under this Agreement or to insist upon exact compliance by the other with its obligations under this Agreement, including any mandatory specification, standard, or operating procedure; (iii) any waiver, forbearance, delay, failure or omission by us to exercise any right, power or option, whether of the same, similar or different nature, relating to other Body & Brain franchisees; or (iv) the acceptance by us of any payments due from you after breach of this Agreement.
23.5 Approvals. Whenever this Agreement requires our approval, you must make a timely written request for approval, and the approval must be in writing in order to bind us. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if we fail to approve any request for approval within the required period of time, we shall be deemed to have disapproved your request. If we deny approval and you seek legal redress for the denial, the only relief to which you may be entitled is to acquire our approval. You are not entitled to any other relief or damages for our denial of approval.
23.6 Force Majeure. Neither we nor you shall be liable for loss or damage or deemed to be in breach of this Agreement if our or your failure to perform our or your obligations results from any event of force majeure. Any delay resulting from an event of force majeure will extend performance accordingly or excuse performance, in whole or in part, as may be reasonable under the circumstances.

     {WS018017v1 }17
    
     23.7 Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon the parties to this Agreement and their
respective executors, administrators, heirs, assigns and successors in interest. Nothing in this Agreement
is intended, nor shall be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or legal entity not a
party to this Agreement; provided, however, that the additional insureds listed in Section 14.1 and the
Indemnified Parties are intended third party beneficiaries under this Agreement with respect to
Section 14.1 and Section 17, respectively.
23.8 Integration. THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY SECTION 9.2 AND SECTION 23.3, MAY NOT BE CHANGED EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN DOCUMENT SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES. The attachment(s) are part of this Agreement, which constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties, and there are no other oral or written understandings or agreements between us and you about the subject matter of this Agreement. As referenced above, all mandatory provisions of the Manual are part of this Agreement. Any representations not specifically contained in this Agreement made before entering into this Agreement do not survive after the signing of this Agreement. This provision is intended to define the nature and extent of the parties’ mutual contractual intent, there being no mutual intent to enter into contract relations, whether by agreement or by implication, other than as set forth above. The parties acknowledge that these limitations are intended to achieve the highest possible degree of certainty in the definition of the contract being formed, in recognition of the fact that uncertainty creates economic risks for both parties which, if not addressed as provided in this Agreement, would affect the economic terms of this bargain. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to disclaim any of the representations we made in the Franchise Disclosure Document. To the extent that any provision in the Minnesota Addendum attached to this Agreement is inconsistent with any provision in this Agreement, the provision in the Minnesota Addendum shall control.
23.9 Covenant of Good Faith. If applicable law implies a covenant of good faith and fair dealing in this Agreement, the parties agree that the covenant shall not imply any rights or obligations that are inconsistent with a fair construction of the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, if applicable law shall imply the covenant, you agree that: (i) this Agreement (and the relationship of the parties that is inherent in this Agreement) grants us the discretion to make decisions, take actions and/or refrain from taking actions not inconsistent with our explicit rights and obligations under this Agreement that may affect favorably or adversely your interests; (ii) we will use our judgment in exercising the discretion based on our assessment of our own interests and balancing those interests against the interests of our franchisees generally (including ourselves and our affiliates if applicable), and specifically without considering your individual interests or the individual interests of any other particular franchisee; (iii) we will have no liability to you for the exercise of our discretion in this manner, so long as the discretion is not exercised in bad faith; and (iv) in the absence of bad faith, no trier of fact in any arbitration or litigation shall substitute its judgment for our judgment so exercised.
23.10 Rights of Parties are Cumulative. The rights of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative and no exercise or enforcement by either party of any right or remedy under this Agreement will preclude any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or by law.
23.11 Survival. All provisions that expressly or by their nature survive the termination, expiration or Transfer of this Agreement (or the Transfer of an ownership interest in the franchise) shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding its termination, expiration or Transfer and until they are satisfied in full or by their nature expire, including, without limitations, Section 12, Section 13, Section 15, Section 17, Section 20, Section 21 and Section 23.
23.12 Construction. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not define, limit or construe the contents of the sections or subsections. All references to Sections refer to the Sections contained in this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All references to days in this Agreement refer to calendar days unless otherwise specified.

5.1 Know-how. We possess trade secrets and other proprietary know-how, including methods, techniques, specifications, procedures, marketing strategies, information comprising the System and the operations manual, as well as information pertaining to the development and operation of a Body & Brain home-based franchise (collectively, the “Know-how”). We may disclose certain Know-how to you during the training program. You understand and acknowledge that you will not acquire any interest in the Know-how other than the right to utilize it in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the Franchise Agreement in the development and operation of a Body & Brain home-based franchise. You acknowledge that the Know-how is proprietary and a trade secret of ours. The Know-how is disclosed to you solely on the condition that you agree, and you do agree, that you: (i) will not use the Know-how in any business or capacity other than the operation of a Body & Brain home-based franchise pursuant to the terms of a Franchise Agreement; (ii) will maintain the confidentiality of the Know-how and not disclose any of the Know-how to any person at any time; (iii) will not make unauthorized copies of any portion of the Know-how disclosed in written or electronic form; and (iv) will adopt and implement all reasonable procedures that we require to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of any of the Know-how.
5.2 Noncompetition. For a period of two (2) years after you complete the training program, you agree that you will not compete with us or other Body & Brain franchisees, whether directly or indirectly. For purposes of the preceding sentence, you will be deemed to compete with us if you acquire, develop, own, operate, maintain or have any interest (including as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, manager, consultant, shareholder, representative or agent) in any business that: (i) provides health coaching, brain based education, personal training, Yoga, Taichi or Qi-Gong; and (ii) is located within a 15 mile radius from any Body & Brain Center or Dahn Yoga center that is operating or under construction as of the date you sign this Agreement. This restrictive covenant does not preclude you from owning an interest of five percent (5%) or less in a competitive business that is a publicly traded company.
5.3 Nonsolicitation. For a period of two (2) years after you complete the training program, you may not, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce: (i) any employee of ours, any affiliate of ours or of any other Body & Brain franchisee to leave the employ of said party; (ii) any franchisee of ours to leave the Body & Brain system; or (iii) any customer of ours, any affiliate of ours or any other Body & Brain franchisee to transfer their business away from us, our affiliate or any other Body & Brain franchisee to you or any other person that is not then a Body & Brain franchisee.
5.4 Immediate Family Members. You acknowledge that you could circumvent the purpose of this Agreement by disclosing Know-how to an immediate family member (i.e., spouse, parents, siblings, children or grandchildren). You also acknowledge that it would be difficult for us to prove whether you disclosed the Know-how to the family member. Therefore, you acknowledge and agree that you will be presumed to have violated the terms of this Agreement if an immediate family member uses or discloses the Know-how or violates the noncompetition and/or nonsolicitation covenants above during any period of time during which you are subject to such noncompetition and/or nonsolicitation covenants.

{WS018017v1 } (FDD - 2015 Home-Based Minnesota) Page 2
     agree that we may apply for such injunctive relief, without bond, but upon due notice, in addition to such
further and other relief as may be available at equity or law, and the sole remedy of yours, in the event of
the entry of such injunction, will be the dissolution of such injunction, if warranted, upon hearing duly
held (all claims for damages by reason of the wrongful issuance of any such injunction being expressly
waived hereby). If a court requires the filing of a bond notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties
agree that the amount of the bond shall not exceed $1,000. The parties agree that each section of this
Agreement, including each subsection, is severable. In the event that any section or subsection of this
Agreement is unenforceable, it will not affect the enforceability of any other section or subsection and
each party to this Agreement stipulates and agrees that either (i) the court may impose terms that it deems
in its discretion will make the covenants reasonable in terms of their scope, duration and geographical
restraint or (ii) we may unilaterally reduce the scope of the covenants to the minimum extent necessary to
make them reasonable and enforceable in terms of scope, duration and geographic restraint. You
acknowledge and agree that you have sufficient resources and business experience and opportunities to
earn an adequate living while complying with the terms of these covenants. You waive any right to
challenge these covenants as being overly broad, unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable.
