Is Engineering For Kids franchisee required to establish an EFK Center Location?

We offer Engineering For Kids Businesses under our "Learning Center Based Business" format. Each site must meet our standards and specifications (each a "Third Party Site"). Third Party Sites may include facilities, such as community centers and parks and recreation centers, where the operator rents a portion of the facility for specific schedule of days or time slots, or other facilities, such as afterschool care centers and schools, at which the operator conducts Programs on a scheduled basis as an independent service provider. In addition to receiving a license from us to operate at Third Parties Sites, the operator establishes an instruction facility and office at a location that will serve as the operator's permanent base of operations, will be devoted entirely to the operation of an Engineering For Kids Business, and will bear exterior "Engineering For Kids" signage (a "EFK Center Location"). A franchisee may not establish an EFK Center Location unless the franchisee obtains our approval and completes the EFK Center Location Addendum to the Franchise Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated in this disclosure document, the term "Authorized Location" will refer to Third Party Sites and EFK Center Locations. Engineering For Kids Businesses may also offer and provide Programs and sell Authorized Products at the homes (or other facilities) of their customers (or persons who are referred by customers) Programs at Authorized Locations, so long as we have approved those Programs and Authorized Products for sale and use at children's parties, holiday and other celebratory events conducted outside of the Authorized Location(s) ("Special Events Services").
