TRADEMARKS

Focus CFO grants Franchisees the non-exclusive right to provide CFO Services under the name "Focus CFO" and use the following marks:

You may also use any other current or future trade name, trademark, service mark or logo ("Marks") that we designate for your use, including the logo on the front of this Disclosure Document, to identify yourself as a Franchisee and in connection with providing the Focus CFO services. The Marks are either owned by Focus CFO or The CFO Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Focus CFO Holdings, LLC and licensed to be used by Focus CFO and our Franchisees. The identified trademark was registered on the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") principal register on August 31, 2012 as Number 85/718,505. We have filed the necessary affidavits and renewal applications for the trademarks as required by the USPTO.

We know of no effective material determinations of the USPTO, Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the trademark administrator or any state trademark administrator or any court, state or federal, involving or regarding our use of the Marks. We know of no pending infringement opposition or cancellation proceeding. We know of no pending material federal or state court litigation, regarding our use or ownership of the Marks. There are no agreements currently in effect that significantly limit our rights to use or license the use of the Marks in any manner material to the franchise. We know of no infringing or prior superior uses that could materially affect the use of the Marks in any state.

You must follow our rules when you use these Marks. You cannot use a name or mark as part of a corporate name or with modifying words, designs or symbols except for those which Focus CFO licenses to you. You may not use Focus CFO's registered name in connection with the sale of unauthorized products or services or in a manner not authorized in writing by Focus CFO.

You must notify Focus CFO immediately when you learn about an infringement of or challenge to your use of our trademark. Focus CFO will take the action we think appropriate. Focus CFO will defend any action brought against you to the extent that it is based on a claim that the trademark infringes upon the rights of a third party, valid and enforceable in the jurisdiction where the trademark is used, provided you notify us promptly in writing of any such claim. We have sole control of the defense and all negotiations for the settlement or compromise of such claim, and you shall cooperate with us in the defense or settlement of any claim. Focus CFO shall have no obligation to you for any claim of infringement based on a trademark that has been modified by a party other than Focus CFO, your use of the trademark with non-Focus CFO products or services, or your use of the trademark in a manner otherwise prohibited by the Franchise Agreement.

You must modify or discontinue the use of a trademark if Focus CFO modifies or discontinues it. We will have no liability or obligation, and you will have no right to compensation or otherwise, because of any discontinuation, modification or change. You must not directly or indirectly contest our right to our trademarks, trade secrets or business techniques that are part of our business.
