(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)

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.
