Pre–opening Obligations

Before you open your Franchised Business:

• 1. We will furnish you with our standard site selection guidelines, including our minimum standards for Third Party Sites. (Section 4.1 of Franchise Agreement) We will furnish you with our standard site selection guidelines, including our minimum standards for an EFK Center Location. (Section 2.1 of the EFK Learning Center Location Addendum) Unless otherwise noted, the term "Authorized Location" applies to both the Third Party Sites that you secure in accordance with our standards and procedures and (if applicable to your business) to the location that we approve to serve as your EFK Center Location.
• 1. We will furnish you with the general design plans and a basic layout to use at the Authorized Locations. To the extent necessary, you must prepare each Authorized Location for operation as an Engineering For Kids Business at your own expense. To the extent that we establish specifications, or designate suppliers for particular services, products, supplies, materials and equipment that you use in the operation of the Franchised Business or resell through your Franchised Business, we will provide this information to you via the Manual. (Sections 4.3 and 6.3 of Franchise Agreement)
• 1. We will review your proposals for an EFK Center Location and (if we deem advisable) conduct on-site evaluations in response to your request for our approval of a proposed EFK Center Location. (Section 2.3 of the EFK Learning Center Location Addendum). You are responsible for finding your own site (see below in this Item under "Site Approval Process").
• 1. We will provide you with: (a) our general plans, specifications and layouts for an EFK Learning Center Location, including requirements for dimensions, design, image, interior

layout, décor, operating assets, and color scheme, that you must incorporate into your Learning Center Location, and (b) our specifications for equipment, furnishings, fixtures, and signage that you must incorporate into your Learning Center Location. (Section 5.1 of the EFK Learning Center Location Addendum). We will not help you in constructing, remodeling, or decorating the premises otherwise. These plans are in addition to the standard site selection guidelines for Third Party Sites (which will also provide as described in paragraph (1) above for your activities at Third Party Sites).

• 1. Before you begin operating, you (or the Operating Principal, if you are a corporation or other entity), and a manager of the Franchised Business (if you will have an additional manager) (the "Designated Employees") must all attend and successfully complete our initial training program at our headquarters or another location that we specify. (Additional information about training can be found below in this Item 11 under "Training.") We will be responsible for the cost of instruction and materials, subject to the terms stated in the Franchise Agreement. (Franchise Agreement, Section 5)
• 1. We will allow you access, for the duration of the Franchise Agreement, to our "Brand Excellence Manual" (which is more fully described in Item 14 below), which will include the instruction materials for the Programs. (Franchise Agreement, Section 11) A copy of the current table of contents to the Manual is in Exhibit F. As of the date of this disclosure document, the Manual contains 23 pages.
• 1. We will advise you in connection with the Initial Marketing Campaign that you will conduct. (Franchise Agreement, Section 9.8)

We are not required by the Franchise Agreement to furnish any other service or assistance to you before the opening of your Franchised Business.

Our Obligations After You Begin Operating

During the operation of your Franchised Business.

• 1. We may conduct, as we deem advisable, periodic inspections of the Franchised Business, and may evaluate the services rendered and products sold by your Franchised Business. (Franchise Agreement, Section 6.10)
• 1. We will offer you additional mandatory or optional training programs, if we determine them to be appropriate. We may charge a reasonable training fee for additional training programs, whether mandatory or optional. (Franchise Agreement, Section 5.2)
• 1. We will make available to you information about new developments, techniques, and improvements in the areas of operations, management, and marketing, to the same extent as we make the information available to other Engineering For Kids Business franchisees in good standing.
