Answer from 2025 FDD Document

EXIT has developed a plan designed to enable independently owned real estate brokerage offices to benefit from brand name identification and to enable these offices to compete more effectively in the real estate industry (the "EXIT System"). The EXIT System is identified by means of certain trade names, service marks, trademarks, logos, and commercial symbols (the "Marks"), including the marks "EXIT Realty" and "EXIT", which provide recognition of the EXIT System to the customers and clients of the EXIT Franchisees. The EXIT System also includes the production of advertising and commercials for use in print and electronic media, training programs for Subfranchisors and Franchisees, Manuals, a program for the referral of real estate listings and real estate buyers and other procedures and systems to assist in the operation and management of a real estate office. The EXIT System includes programs for the establishment of national advertising and promotional campaigns as well. EXIT Realty Upper Midwest will provide certain specified support and services to all Franchisees in their assigned geographical territory.

EXIT will continue to improve and further develop the EXIT System, and through EXIT Realty Upper Midwest will provide new information and techniques to you through confidential Training Manuals (the "Manuals"). Any real estate brokerage office that joins the EXIT System is referred to in this Disclosure Document as a "Franchisee." Franchisees offer real estate brokerage services to the general public as independently owned and operated entities utilizing the EXIT Trademarks together with a pre-selected "Trade Style" name in conjunction with the unique system and formula of EXIT. The Franchise Agreement is executed between EXIT Realty Upper Midwest (the Subfranchisor) and you (the Franchisee).
