If the License Agreement is terminated, the agreement states that all sublicenses granted by us to our franchisees will continue in full force and effect until the expiration or termination of the applicable franchise agreement. We and BR Consulting may amend the License Agreement at any time. Except for the License Agreement, no agreements limit our right to use or sublicense the use of the Marks.
We grant you the right to operate a franchise under the name "Body & Brain" shown on the cover page of this Disclosure Document and identify yourself as a Body & Brain franchisee. By trademark, we mean trade names, trademarks, service marks, and logotypes used to identify your Business or the products or services that you sell. We may change the trademarks you must use from time to time (including by discontinuing use of the Marks listed in this Item 13) and you must comply with any such change at your expense.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are granted a limited license to use the DAHN YOGA mark for advertising their Dahn Yoga classes. The registration number for the DAHN YOGA mark is 3,141,495, and it was registered with the USPTO on September 12, 2006. BR Consulting owns the DAHN YOGA mark and has granted Body Brain Center the right to sublicense it to franchisees through a Second Amended and Restated License Agreement.
This agreement renews annually unless terminated, and BR Consulting can only terminate it if Body Brain Center declares bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or defaults on the agreement without curing the default. Body Brain Center is obligated to pay a portion of initial franchise fees and royalty fees to BR Consulting. Importantly, if the License Agreement is terminated, the sublicenses granted to franchisees will remain in effect until the franchise agreement expires or is terminated.
Body Brain Center retains the right to modify the trademarks franchisees use, including discontinuing the use of the DAHN YOGA mark. Franchisees must adhere to Body Brain Center's rules for using the marks and must notify Body Brain Center of any infringement or challenges to the marks. While Body Brain Center will take action as it deems appropriate, it is not obligated to protect the franchisee's right to use the marks or defend against infringement claims. Franchisees cannot contest BR Consulting's right to the marks.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that Body Brain Center can change the required trademarks, and the franchisee must comply at their own expense. They should also confirm the current status of the License Agreement between Body Brain Center and BR Consulting and understand the potential implications of its termination or amendment.
