[Item 8: RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES]

Right to Receive Compensation and Negotiated Prices

We may, when appropriate, negotiate purchase arrangements, including price terms, with designated and Approved Suppliers on behalf of the System. We may establish strategic alliances or preferred vendor programs with suppliers that are willing to supply some products, equipment, or services to some or all of the Studios in our System. If we do establish those types of alliances or programs, we may: (i) limit the number of Approved Suppliers with whom you may deal; (ii) designate sources that you must use for some or all products, equipment and services; and (iii) refuse to approve proposals from franchisees to add new suppliers if we believe that approval would not be in the best interests of the System.

We and/or our affiliates may receive payments or other compensation from Approved Suppliers or any other suppliers on account of these suppliers' dealings with us, you, or other Studios in the System, such as rebates, commissions or other forms of compensation, which may comprise of fixed payments and/or percentages of overall sales transactions. During the fiscal year 2024, we received $154,772 in allowances, rebates, or other consideration from vendors in connection with purchases by franchisees, which constituted 6.3% of our total revenue of $2,447,103 during the year, and our Predecessor received $594,663 in similar allowances, rebates, and other consideration. Additionally, Xponential received $6,837,252 in allowances, rebates, or other consideration from vendors in connection with purchases by franchisees of all Xponential Brands in the United States and Canada. We may use any amounts that we receive from suppliers for any purpose that we deem appropriate. We and/or our affiliates may negotiate supply contracts with our suppliers under which we are able to purchase products, equipment, supplies, services and other items at a price that will benefit us and our franchisees.

Franchisee must ensure that in connection with all dealings with all stakeholders in the value of the BFT brand and System (including, without limitation, with Franchisor, its affiliates, Franchisor and its affiliates' employees, other BFT franchisees, franchisees of Franchisor's affiliates, members and prospective Studio members of the BFT brand or any other brand in connection with Franchisor's affiliates, and suppliers and vendors), its and each of its owners' and employees' must act honestly and ethically in each instance.

It is the sole responsibility of Franchisee to hire, discipline, discharge and establish wages, hours, benefits, employment policies and other terms and conditions of employment for its employees and independent contractors. Franchisee is solely responsible for obtaining its own independent legal advice regarding the employment of employees and retention of independent contractors, and for complying with any and all Applicable Laws pertaining thereto.

As a Franchise owner, you are required to obtain and maintain, at your sole expense, the required insurance coverages as prescribed in your Franchise Agreement and/or our Learning Management System. We may amend, modify, supplement or otherwise change the coverages or policies required below upon thirty (30) days' written notice to you (or such a shorter period of time that we determine appropriate if a health/safety or infringementrelated issue) via the Learning Management System or otherwise. While the specifications and standards for such coverages may vary depending on the size of your Studio and/ or other factors, such as what is customary for businesses of your type in your area, as of the date of this Disclosure Document, we typically require the following coverages:

1. Commercial General Liability insurance covering your day-to-day business operations and premises liability exposures with limits not less than the following:

• E. Non-Approved Services, Products or Suppliers. If Franchisee proposes to offer for sale any products, classes or services other than then-current Approved Services and Approved Products, Franchisee shall first notify Franchisor in writing and submit sufficient information, specifications and samples concerning such product, classes and/or supplier and/or service for a determination by the Franchisor whether such product, classes or supplier of service complies with the Franchisor's specifications and standards and/or whether such supplier meets the Franchisor's approved supplier criteria. Franchisor reserves the right to charge Franchisee reasonable costs in connection with Franchisor's review, evaluation and approval of alternative suppliers. These charges may include reimbursement for travel, accommodations, meal expenses, and personnel wages. Franchisor may from time to time prescribe procedures for the submission of requests for approved products and/or suppliers or services and obligations that approved suppliers must assume (which may be incorporated in a written agreement to be executed by approved suppliers). Franchisor reserves the right to revoke its approval of a previously authorized supplier, product, class or service when Franchisor determines in its discretion that such supplier, product, class or service is not meeting the specifications and standards established by Franchisor.
