A Protected Territory with more than 7,500 but fewer than or equal to 15,000 total businesses is classified as a Personal Class 2 Territory.

A Protected Territory with more than 15,000 but fewer than or equal to 22,500 total businesses is classified as a Master Licensee Class 1 Territory.

A Protected Territory with more than 22,500 but fewer than or equal to 30,000 total businesses is classified as a Master Licensee Class 2 Territory.

No Protected Territory will be permitted with more than 30,000 total businesses.

If You have either a Master Licensee Class 1 or Master Licensee Class 2 Territory, You may (and TAB recommends that You) engage independent Contract Facilitators to both facilitate TAB Boards and to provide private coaching services for TAB Members ("Contract Facilitator"), during such time that You or Your Managing Party are facilitating a minimum of one TAB Board per month and providing monthly private coaching services for the TAB Members of that TAB Board.

In addition, if You have a Personal Class 2 Territory or a Personal Class 1 Territory, where according to Our guidelines, there is no contiguous territory available to make Your territory a Master Licensee Class 1 Territory, You will be eligible to elect to obtain the right to license independent Contract Facilitator(s) in Your Protected Territory.

Any use of Contract Facilitators, however, must strictly follow TAB's guidelines, as described in the Confidential Manual, to avoid any possibility that the Franchisee/Contract Facilitator relationship could be deemed a sub-franchise or business opportunity relationship - which is strictly prohibited by TAB.

Members may also purchase other services from You, including, without limitation, SBL System services and products, as well as other consulting related services and products, at fees or prices determined by You, unless stated otherwise in this Offering Circular. (See Item 16)

TAB may pay a referral fee to You, any of Your Facilitators or an unaffiliated third party who refer a prospect who purchases a TAB franchise. These referring parties are not permitted to participate in any sales activity or promotional efforts in order to refer prospects. The program may not be available in all states, and TAB has the right to discontinue the referral program at any time. TAB utilizes brokers which are described in Item 2.

TAB, or an Affiliate of TAB is currently planning to expand in certain foreign countries. If so, You and Your Facilitators may be eligible to assist in finding leads and providing training to foreign franchisees, in return for a commission, if the franchise sale is completed. TAB or its Affiliate has the sole right to establish eligibility requirements for participation in this program and reserves the right to discontinue the program at any time. You are not obligated to participate in the program and have no assurance that You will be allowed to participate.

Other franchise owners of TAB may operate under different forms of agreements and, consequently, TAB's obligations and rights with respect to its various franchise owners may differ materially in certain circumstances. In particular, those who have been previously engaged by TAB as a Corporate Contract Facilitator or who have completed Corporate Contract Facilitator training prior to November 30, 2003, may operate under different terms and/or forms of agreements.

We do not guarantee that advertising expenditures from the Franchise Marketing Account benefit You or any other Franchisee directly or on a pro rata basis. TAB undertakes no obligation to ensure that Franchise Marketing Account expenditures in or affecting any geographic area are proportionate or equivalent to the contributions of franchisees operating in that geographic area or that any TAB franchisee will benefit directly or in proportion to its contribution to the Franchise Marketing Account from the development of advertising and marketing materials or the placement of advertising. We assume no other direct or indirect liability or obligation to You for collecting amounts due to any advertising account or for maintaining, directing, or administering any advertising account. We have used in-house personnel in the past to create written press releases, audio and direct mail advertising, and promotions, and We intend to continue this practice in the future. If We create advertising materials in-house, We may reimburse ourselves from the Franchise Marketing Account for administrative costs, salaries, and overhead expenses related to the creation of such materials.

You may create Your own advertising materials; however, all Your advertising must be in media of a type and a format that We approve and must conform to the standards and requirements We specify. You may not use any advertising or promotional plans or materials until You receive Our written approval. We will approve or disapprove of Your advertising within 10 business days of the date We receive it. You may not post any advertisements on the Internet or use any of Our Trademarks as part of a domain name, on the World Wide Web, or anywhere on the Internet, without Our approval.

We require You to conduct, during the first 18 months after Your Start of Business Operations, or until You elect to begin paying an Opportunity Fee in lieu of the Royalty Fee, whichever is earlier, periodic required Mass Marketing Campaigns in Your Protected Territory.

Although not required for or satisfying the Required Marketing requirements, Franchisees may advertise locally as well. If You choose to advertise locally, You may purchase local advertising separately through local marketing and media sources within Your Protected Territory. You are not required to participate in any local or regional advertising cooperatives.

There are Franchisees that, as of this date, have Franchise Agreements that require a monthly advertising contribution that is different than the formula required by Your Franchise Agreement.

Computers And Other Electronic Systems

You must own or lease a laptop computer with CD ROM bay for use in Your Business. Currently, We do not require You to obtain any specific brand of computer system, however, Your computer must have a Pentium processor (IV or higher) and at least 1 GB RAM. We recommend that You have high speed Internet access because otherwise the website performance may be affected. TAB is under no obligation to provide You with any ongoing service related to Your hardware package. TAB reserves the right to require You, at Your expense and in the time frame determined by TAB to update, upgrade or change the hardware and/or software You use in Your Business to conform to new standards or specifications. As technology improves, You will be required to upgrade Your equipment or purchase new equipment. No contractual limit exists on the frequency or cost of this obligation.

You are required to have Windows XP Pro (or Windows 2000 SP2) or higher as Your operating system and MS Office - which include Word, PowerPoint and Excel (Version 2000 or higher). This is not proprietary software of Ours but rather an off-the-shelf program (shrink-wrap). TAB is not under any obligation to maintain or upgrade these programs.

You must maintain current information about such things as the status and responses to marketing campaigns of prospects for Membership served by Your Business in a database application compatible

You also must complete First Year Advanced Training during the first 12 months after Your Start of Business Operations. First Year Advanced Training consists of mandatory monthly group conference calls of up to two hours on topics of particular interest to new Facilitators, to be scheduled in advance and conducted by TAB. You will also be provided additional telephonic training and strategizing by the TAB corporate marketing department.

You will also be responsible for participating in a minimum of 90 minutes of business coaching per month for the first four full months and a minimum of 60 minutes per month for the next eight full months after You complete the Initial Training Program ("First Year Business Coaching"). TAB will designate a Business Coach and You and Your Business Coach will coordinate the details of Your First Year Business Coaching. Your Business Coach will be paid either directly by You or You must pay TAB depending on the Business Coach for his/her time involved in conducting the First Year Business Coaching. First Year Business Coaching services will be charged by Business Coach at the then current rate, which is currently $100 per hour, whether the services are provided in person, by telephone, email or fax. You are also responsible for all applicable telephone or other communication expenses incidental to the First Year Business Coaching. If You elect to pay an Opportunity Fee in lieu of a Royalty, Your obligations to pay for First Year Business Coaching will cease at such time as You begin paying the Opportunity Fee. However, You may elect to continue using and paying a Business Coach after election of the Opportunity Fee, subject to Business Coach availability.

We will send TMD(s) for up to two separate trips of approximately five days each to Your Protected Territory during phase one of Your Kick-Off Campaign. You are required to use TMD(s) during the first four weeks during which You have TAB Group Information Meetings, subject to TAB availability of TMD(s). The TMD(s) will provide field support in addition to being the primary presenter of Group Information Meetings and the lead party conducting the Membership interviews during the trips.

If You use Contract Facilitators to facilitate TAB Boards in Your Protected Territory, Your Contract Facilitators may not facilitate a TAB Board until they have satisfactorily completed the required training for Contract Facilitators. The training required to become a Contract Facilitator may, in TAB's sole judgment, be less than the entire Initial Training Program. If You choose to use Contract Facilitators, You must pay Us the then current fee for their training, however, they can pay their travel and accommodation expenses directly to third party providers. For Your Contract Facilitator to be eligible to attend the Initial Training Program, You must submit the fully executed then current Contract Facilitator Agreement and payment for the Initial Training Program prior to Your Contract Facilitator's scheduled training month. See Item 6 above. The training for Contract Facilitators is subject to class availability.

TAB will produce, on an annual basis, an International Conference that You are required to attend. All fees related to the International Conference are listed in Item 6 above.

Confidential Manual

The Confidential Manual is confidential and remains Our property. You will operate Your Business in compliance with those operational systems, procedures, policies, methods and requirements found in the Confidential Manual and in any supplemental bulletins and notices, revisions, modifications, or amendments are all a part of the Confidential Manual.

You must treat the Confidential Manual, any other manuals or written materials provided by Us or for use in the operation of Your Business, and the information contained in them, as confidential, and must use all reasonable efforts to maintain this information as secret and confidential. You must not copy, duplicate, record, or otherwise reproduce these materials, in whole or in part, or otherwise make them available to any unauthorized person. The Confidential Manual will remain Our sole property and

("Royalty Fee Addendum"), attached to the Franchise Agreement as Exhibit IV. The terms of the Royalty Fee Addendum require, among other things, that You relinquish all of your rights to Your Protected Territory and relinquish all marketing rights.

You may only solicit potential Members for TAB Membership through forms of communication approved by TAB. We specify the manner in which You may advertise and We include those instructions in the Confidential Manual.

You may advertise consulting services that do not meet the definition of a "Competitive Activity" (as defined in Item 16) in publications of general circulation within or outside of Your Protected Territory, if the advertisement does not refer to or contain any of the Trademarks. You must receive prior approval from TAB and the advertising must be lawful and not violate any consumer protection laws.

TAB will review Your Protected Territory Classification annually and make necessary adjustments to Your Protected Territory Classification based upon the then current number of total businesses. An increase or reduction in the number of total businesses in Your Protected Territory will result in a change in Your Protected Territory Classification. A reduction in the Protected Territory Classification of Your Protected Territory will not, for any reason, result in a reduction of the Initial Franchise Fee You already paid to TAB, as the Initial Franchise Fee, once paid, is not refundable under any circumstances. If the Protected Territory Classification of Your Protected Territory is increased for any reason, You will pay to TAB the difference of the then current Initial Franchise Fee for the higher Protected Territory Classification and the Initial Franchise Fee You already paid to TAB. An increase or reduction in Your Protected Territory Classification will result in an appropriate adjustment to Your applicable Opportunity Fee.

If We notify You that Your Protected Territory Classification changes due to an increase in the total number of businesses in Your Protected Territory, You will have the option to maintain Your Protected Territory Classification by eliminating enough zip codes and/or postal codes necessary to maintain the Protected Territory Classification that You had prior to the review in question. You will not, however, be allowed to change Your Protected Territory Classification to one based upon a number of total businesses less than that which You had prior to the review in question. This limited option to maintain Your Protected Territory Classification is expressly conditioned upon the zip codes and/or postal codes being released by You from Your Protected Territory being contiguous and at least one of the remaining zip codes in Your Protected Territory connecting with some part of the border of Your current Protected Territory. The reduced size and configuration of Your Protected Territory will be subject to the approval of TAB, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If Your Protected Territory is changed by the elimination of zip codes, for any reason, a written amendment to Your Franchise Agreement, acknowledging the zip codes being retained and Your new Protected Territory Classification, will be drafted by TAB in the current form approved by TAB and forwarded to You via registered mail for Your signature.

TAB will not allow a Protected Territory with more than 30,000 total businesses. If, after a review of Your Protected Territory, it is found to have more than 30,000 total businesses, TAB may automatically reduce the size of Your Protected Territory, in its sole discretion, to a set of zip codes and/or postal codes containing as close as possible to, but not more than, 30,000 total businesses using the same criteria of the zip codes and/or postal codes being released by You from Your Protected Territory being contiguous and at least one of the remaining zip codes in Your Protected Territory connecting with some part of the border of Your current Protected Territory.

You have no option, right of first refusal, or similar contractual right to acquire additional franchises. In addition, You have no rights to increase the size of Your Protected Territory.

Trademarks, or words that are confusingly similar to the TAB Trademarks or use the SBL System and SBL Mark ("Other Businesses"). The Other Businesses may be marketed and sold to anyone at any location within and outside of Your Protected Territory and may include, without limitation, business educational briefings, seminars/workshops, and business coaching/consulting services provided to business leaders and Other Businesses owned and/or licensed by DCS.

TAB, its Affiliates, and its licensees and franchisees may market Other Businesses to Your Members in Your Protected Territory by obtaining lists from other sources or through other methods of developing prospects. TAB, its Affiliates, and its licensees and franchisees will not be obligated to exclude Members or prospective Members in Your Protected Territory from lists obtained from other sources or through other methods of developing prospects.

There is no minimum sales quota.

You further acknowledges that TAB and its Affiliates have expended a great amount of effort and money in obtaining and developing the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, that TAB and its Affiliates have taken numerous precautions to guard the secrecy of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, and that it would be very costly for competitors to acquire or duplicate the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.

You will not at any time, publish, disclose, divulge, or in any manner communicate to any person, firm, corporation, association, partnership, or any other entity whatsoever or use, directly or indirectly, for its own benefit or for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity other than for the use of TAB or in the operation of Your Business, any of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. You further agree not to use, copy, or imitate or cause or permit any other party to use, copy, or imitate, directly or indirectly, (i) any of the Licensed Methods for any purpose without TAB's express permission; (ii) any confusingly similar method, format, procedure, technique, system, name, trade dress, mark, symbol, emblem, tagline, insignia, term, designation, design, diagram, promotional material, or course material of TAB or its Affiliates; or (iii) any facility or program of TAB or its Affiliates.

The term "Membership Information" means all aspects of the Licensed Methods that relate to TAB's methods for forming TAB Boards, providing SBL coaching and soliciting new Members, and to all written agreements with Members, membership lists, RMP lists, documents, correspondence, membership data, files, lists of renewal dates, rates, and literature of whatever form respecting TAB Boards, TAB Members, or TAB Member prospects with whom You discussed or have had an appointment to discuss any of the Licensed Methods, in the past, present, or future.

You acknowledge that TAB owns and controls the Membership Information, all of which constitutes Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of TAB, and You acknowledge that TAB has valuable rights in and to such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. You further acknowledge that You have not acquired any right, title, or interest in or to the Membership Information, except for the right to use the Membership Information in the operation of Your Business as it is governed by the Franchise Agreement.

We may develop certain service and product warranties and guarantees for Your clients that We deem to be essential elements of the successful operation of the Business. You will furnish all authorized warranties and guarantees to all clients of Your Business who qualify. You will also fully, accurately, and clearly inform Your clients about Our warranties and guarantees in accordance with Our policies and procedures.

You and/or Contract Facilitators licensed by You may offer and advertise within or outside Your Protected Territory, certain ancillary services or products approved by TAB, such as consulting services which are not the same as or similar in nature to those that form a part of the SBL System ("Ancillary Businesses(es)"), so long as: (i) You do not use the Trademarks, Copyrighted Material or the Licensed Methods; (ii) the Ancillary Business does not constitute a Competitive Activity, as defined below; and (iii) Ancillary Business would not, in TAB's sole opinion, compete with the Business and/or would not likely harm or disparage the goodwill associated with the Business and/or the Trademarks, Copyrighted Materials, or the Licensed Methods.

A "Competitive Activity" means services and products that are the same as, similar to, or competitive with the Licensed Methods. "Competitive Activity" also refers to: (1) facilitating groups of business leaders who run businesses that are not in the same business field, which group meetings are the same as or similar in nature to TAB Boards; and/or (2) providing regularly-scheduled private business coaching sessions or providing strategic planning services for business owners and/or their "Planning Teams" (designated participants for a company's planning and execution with the SBL System) that use exercises that are the same as or similar in nature to those exercises that are used in the SBL System.

TAB may, from time to time, offer You optional Supplemental Products and Services.
