We estimate the cost of purchasing a basic computer and any software you may use to operate your Regional Developer Business to range from $0 to $2,000, depending on whether you already have a computer and a printer. In addition to the cost of purchasing a computer and printer, you must also pay the monthly cost of: (i) maintaining high-speed internet access at your site (estimated to cost between $50 to $200 per month, or $600 to $2,400 per year, depending on the internet service provider); and (ii) accessing our virtual private network (estimated to cost $50 per month, or $600 per year). You must purchase and utilize FranConnect, which is our current contact management system for managing franchise leads to operate your Regional Developer Business. FranConnect is a web-based contact management system for new franchise leads, project management system for opening clinics, and provides operational administration support to help you in your Regional Developer role. It is also an internal communication tool where corporate and franchisees can speak. FranConnect fee is $75 per month ($900 per year) plus an additional $25 per month ($300 per year) for each additional license. We currently require that you pay the FranConnect fee to us as part of our technology fee. We remit these amounts to FranConnect. You have the option, but not the obligation, to use our recommended territory mapping software by Magnify. You may use this software to map out franchise territories in your development territory. If you choose to use this software, you must pay us an annual fee of $800 per year, which will be added to your technology fee. We remit all of this fee to the third-party licensor of the software. In exchange for this fee, the software licensor will provide all required maintenance, support and updates. 28 Except as disclosed above, (i) neither we nor any other party has any obligation to provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades or updates to your computer system; and (ii) we are not aware of any optional or required maintenance, updating, upgrading or support contracts relating to your computer system. Your computer system will collect and store data regarding the prospective and current franchisees in your Development Area, including franchise leads, franchisee contact information and operational data relating to the franchisees in your Development Area. You will enter this information into your computer system through FranConnect. We will have independent unlimited access to all data that you enter into FranConnect and there are no contractual limits imposed on our access. We will not have independent unlimited access to any other data you enter into or store on your computer system, although we may access this data as part of an inspection. We may change the computer system you must use from time to time, including hardware, software, Apps and other related technology. There are no limitations on the cost or frequency of these changes. We and/or our affiliate may develop proprietary software, technology or other components of the technology systems that we require Regional Developers to utilize. If this occurs you agree to pay us (or our affiliate) commercially reasonable licensing, support and maintenance fees. We also reserve the right to enter into master agreements with third-party suppliers relating to any components of the technology systems and then charge you for all amounts that we must pay to these suppliers based upon your use of the software, technology, equipment, or services provided by the suppliers. The “technology fee” includes all amounts that you must pay us or our affiliates relating to the Technology Systems, including amounts paid for proprietary items and amounts that we collect from you and remit to third-party suppliers based on your use of their systems, software, technology or services. The amount of the technology fee may change based upon changes to the Technology Systems or the prices charged by third-party suppliers with whom we enter into master agreements. The technology fee does not include any amounts that you directly pay to third party suppliers for any component of the Technology Systems. Our current “technology fee” includes the following fees: (i) the monthly fee for access to our virtual private network ($50 per month): (ii) the monthly licensing fee paid to FranConnect for your contact management system ($75 per month plus additional $25 per month per additional license); and (iii) the annual licensing fee for our recommended Magnify mapping software ($800 per year), if you choose to utilize this software. Periodic Review Inspections You must operate your Regional Developer franchise in accordance with the RDA and the Manual for RDs. We reserve the right to conduct period reviews or inspections of your Regional Developer Business operations to ensure that you are in compliance with your RDA, Manual for RDs, and our other written directives and standards. We may terminate your RDA if you do not operate your business in compliance with the RDA or the Manual for RDs. 29 ITEM 12 TERRITORY Your Development Territory Your RDA grants you an exclusive Development Area that generally will be defined by state or county boundaries, or fixed geographical boundaries such as rivers, streets or highways. There is no specific minimum or maximum size of geographic area that we will grant you as your Development Area. In determining the size of the Development Area, we will consider many factors including, but not limited to, the demographics within that geographic area, your capacity and ability to recruit and provide services within that geographic area, and the number of Location Franchises we believe can operate within the geographic area. We identify the Development Area, Development Schedule, and Development Fee before you sign the RDA. You may not operate your location franchise under the terms of your RDA at any location outside the Development Area and may not relocate your location franchise outside of your RDA business without our prior written consent. You may not operate your Regional Developer Business outside of your Development Area without our approval, which we may withhold in our sole discretion.You are not permitted to market or sell through alternative channels of distribution (such as the Internet, catalog sales, telemarketing or other direct marketing), either within or outside of your territory, without our prior written approval. If you are in compliance with your RDA, then we and our affiliates will not operate, establish, grant, or operate in your Development Area another Regional Developer Business offering Location Franchises, or any Location Franchises not required to be developed under your RDA. We will not modify your Development Area during the term of your RDA. If you intend to renew or transfer the RDA, and the then-current demographics of your Development Area have changed, then we may reduce the size of your Development Area on renewal or transfer. If we reduce the Development Area, we will give you or your transferee the option (as applicable) to develop the original Development Area. Reserved Rights Although we cannot operate, or allow others to operate, a Regional Developer Business within your Development Territory, we do reserve the following rights: (a) We expressly reserve the right to establish and operate, or grant others the right to establish and operate, Clinics that are located within Non-Traditional Sites that are located anywhere, including within your Development Area. A “Non-Traditional Site” means any site or channel that generates customer traffic flow that is independent from the general customer traffic flow of the surrounding area, including on or within the confines or premises of military bases, shopping malls or centers, stadiums, major industrial or office complexes, parking lots or structures, mobile vehicles, airports, hotels, resorts, school campuses, train stations, travel plazas, toll roads, casinos, hospitals, theme parks, and sports or entertainment venues. A “Non-Traditional Site” also includes the establishment and operation of a Clinic within a pre-existing business that does not operate under the Marks. For example, Clinics established within an urgent care center, retail store, or medical spa would qualify as Non- Traditional Sites. (b) We expressly reserve the right to grant Location Franchises and/or Regional Developer Business rights to others as follows: (i) in our sole and absolute discretion with regard to the Marks, outside of your Development Area, (ii) in our sole and absolute discretion with regard to products or services unrelated to the Marks, inside of your Development Area. (c) We expressly reserve the engage in an Acquisition, including acquisitions that involve competitive businesses located within your Development Area. An “Acquisition” means either (i) a competitive or

30 non-competitive company, franchise system, network or chain directly or indirectly acquiring us, whether in whole or in part, including by asset or stock purchase, change of control, merger, affiliation or otherwise or (ii) us directly or indirectly acquiring another competitive or non-competitive company, franchise system, network or chain, whether in whole or in part, including by asset or stock purchase, change of control, merger, affiliation or otherwise. If we convert such business(es) to operate under the Marks, then for so long as such business(es) operate under the Marks within your Development Area: (i) you must provide support services to such business(es) and you will receive from us fifty percent (50%) of any royalties that we actually collect from such converted business(es); and (ii) any such converted business(es) shall count toward your Minimum Development Obligation. Minimum Development Obligations You must develop and operate a minimum of 1 Location Franchise and recruit Franchisees to develop and operate Location Franchises within your Development Area according to a Development Schedule. You must remain in compliance with all signed franchise agreements for Location Franchises you own to retain your protected Development Area rights. If you do not comply with the Development Schedule, or if any of your Location Franchises are terminated for any reason, we will have the right to terminate your RDA. Right to Acquire Additional Territories or Franchises You have no options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional geographic area to increase your territory size under the RDA or acquire additional Regional Developer franchises. Restrictions on Your Sales and Marketing Activities We may give you the opportunity to participate in the sale of other services through other distribution channels or to Franchisees in your Development Area. However, you may not participate in other services or areas of distribution without our prior approval. You may solicit prospective Franchisees residing outside your Development Area but interested in opening a franchise within your exclusive Development Area without having to pay any special compensation to us or any other Regional Developer. Likewise, Regional Developer outlets owned by us, our affiliates (if applicable), or other Regional Developers may solicit prospective Franchisees residing in your Development Area but interested in opening a franchise in another Development Area without having to pay you any special compensation. You may not solicit prospective Franchisees for a Location Franchise located outside of your exclusive Development Area. We will forward to you any leads or referrals that we receive for prospective Franchisees interested in purchasing a Location Franchise in your Development Area, and you will be entitled to the compensation referred to in Item 1 and Item 11 only if these prospective Franchisees purchase a Location Franchise in your Development Area. Competitive Businesses Under Different Marks Currently, neither we nor any affiliate of ours intends to operate or franchise another business under a different trademark that sells products or services similar to the products or services offered by our Regional Developers. However, we reserve the right to do so in the future. 31 Item 13 TRADEMARKS The Company grants you the right and license to use the Marks and the System solely in connection with your Franchised Business. You may use our trademarks “The Joint®”, “The Joint Chiropractic®, “The Joint… the chiropractic place®” and design and such other Marks as are designated in writing by the Company for your use. In addition, you may use them only in the manner authorized and permitted by the Company and you may not directly or indirectly contest the Company’s ownership of or rights in the Marks. We have applied for registration of the following Marks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) on the Principal Register.

The logo is part of the Company’s Marks. With respect to the Marks, there are currently no effective material determinations of the USPTO, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, or any state trademark administrator or court, or any pending infringement, opposition, or cancellation proceeding. We reserve the right to change the Marks you must use at any time. If this happens, you must comply with the change at your expense within a reasonable time after we notify you of the change. The Company will indemnify against or reimburse for expenses you incur in defending claims of infringement or unfair competition arising out of your use of the Marks. You are required to notify the Company immediately when you become aware of the use, or claim of right to, a Mark identical or confusingly similar to our Marks. If litigation involving the Marks is instituted or threatened against you, you must notify the Company promptly and cooperate fully with the Company in defending or settling the litigation. The Company, at its option, may defend and control the defense of any proceeding relating to any Marks. The Company has no actual knowledge of either superior prior rights or infringing uses that could materially affect a Franchisee’s use of the Marks in any state.

34 ITEM 14 PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION Patents Rights The Company owns no rights in or to any patents or patent applications that are material to the franchise. Copyrights The Company claims a copyright and treats the information in the Manuals as confidential trade secrets, but you are permitted to use the material as part of your Regional Developer Business. You must promptly tell us when you learn about unauthorized use of our copyright. We are not obligated to act, but will respond to this information as we deem appropriate. We have the exclusive right to control any proceeding or litigation alleging the unauthorized use of our copyrights. We have no obligation to: (i) indemnify you for any expenses or damages arising from any proceeding or litigation involving our copyrights; or (ii) participate in your defense if you are a party to an administrative or judicial proceeding involving our copyrights. At any time we may change our copyrighted items and you must comply with these changes at your expense within a reasonable time after notice from us. There are no infringements that are known by us at this time. Confidential Operations Manuals Under the RDA, you must operate the Regional Developer Business in accordance with the standards, methods, policies, and procedures specified in the Manual for RDs. You will be loaned a copy of the Manual for RDs and Manual for Locations for the term of the RDA, when you have completed the initial training program to our satisfaction. You must operate your Regional Developer franchise strictly in accordance with the Manual for RDs, as it may be revised by the Company from time to time. You must at all times, treat the Manuals and the information in them, as well as any other materials created for or approved by use for the operation of your Regional Developer Business, as confidential, as required by the RDA. You must use all reasonable efforts to maintain this information as secret and confidential. You must not copy, duplicate, record or otherwise make them available to any unauthorized person. The Manuals will remain our sole property and must be returned in the event that you cease to be a Regional Developer franchise owner. We may from time to time revise the contents of the Manual for RDs and Manual for Locations, and you must comply with each new or changed provision in the Manual for RDs. You must ensure that our Manuals are kept current at all times. In the event of any dispute as to the contents of the Manual for RDs, the terms of the master copies maintained by us at Company’s home office will be controlling. Confidential Information The Regional Developer requires you to maintain all Confidential Information of the Company as confidential both during and after the term of the Agreement. “Confidential Information” includes all information, data, techniques and know-how designated or treated by the Company as confidential and includes the Manuals. You may not at any time disclose, copy or use any Confidential Information except as specifically authorized by the Company. Under the Agreement, you agree that all information, data, techniques and know-how developed or assembled by you or your employees or agents during the term of the RDA and relating to the System will be deemed a part of the Confidential Information protected under the RDA. See Item 15 below concerning your obligation to obtain confidentiality and non-competition agreements from persons involved in the Regional Developer Business. 35 ITEM 15 OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTUAL OPERATION OF THE FRANCHISED BUSINESS Each of the individuals who hold an ownership interest in the Regional Developer Business (“Owner(s)”) must personally participate in the direct operation of the Regional Developer Business. If as an Owner you do not personally participate in the direct operation of your Regional Developer Business on a full-time basis, then you are obligated to have a fully trained Manager operate the franchise. While we do not require that your Manager have an equity interest in the franchise, we believe that only a person with an equity interest can adequately ensure that our standards of quality and competence are maintained. The RDA requires that the Owner(s) of the Regional Developer Business be directly involved in the day-to-day operations and utilize your best efforts to promote and enhance the performance of the Regional Developer Business. While in most cases an Owner(s) will seek additional assistance for the labor-intensive portions of the business, we have built our reputation on Owner(s) participation and believe it is crucial for continued success. Any Manager you employ at the launching of your franchise operations must complete the initial management- training course required by the Company. All subsequent Managers must be trained fully according to our standards by either the Regional Developer or the Company. However, the Company may charge a fee for this additional training unless the Manager attends one of our regularly scheduled training sessions. Each Owner(s) must personally guarantee all of the obligations of the Regional Developer Business under the RDA. (See Exhibit 4 to the RDA - Owner’s Guaranty and Assumption of Obligations) At the Company’s request, you must obtain and deliver executed covenants of confidentiality and non-competition from any Owner(s), any persons who have or may have access to training and other confidential information under the System. The covenants must be in a form satisfactory to us, and must provide that we are a third party beneficiary of, and have the independent right to enforce the covenants. 36 ITEM 16 RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT THE FRANCHISEE MAY SELL You must operate the Regional Developer Business in strict conformity with all prescribed methods, procedures, policies, standards, and specifications of the System, as set forth in the Manual for RDs and in other writings by the Company from time to time. You must use your Regional Developer franchise sales office only for the operation of the Regional Developer Business and may not operate any other business at or from such office without the express prior written consent of the Company. The Company requires you to offer and sell only those goods and services that the Company has approved. The Company maintains a written list of approved goods and services in its Manual for RDs, which the Company may change from time to time. You must offer all goods and services that the company designates as required for all franchises. In addition, the Company may require you to comply with other requirements (such as state or local licenses, training, marketing, insurance) before the Company will allow you to offer certain optional services. We reserve the right to designate additional required or optional services in the future and to withdraw any of our previous approvals. In that case, you must comply with the new requirements. There are no express limitations on our right to designate additional or operational services; however, such services will be reasonably related to our franchise system or model. We do not currently have any restrictions or conditions that limit access to customers to whom you may sell goods or services. 37 ITEM 17 RENEWAL, TERMINATION, TRANSFER AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION This table lists important provisions of the Regional Developer Agreement.

REGIONAL DEVELOPER AGREEMENT THIS REGIONAL DEVELOPER AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this day of , 202_______, (the “Effective Date”), by and between THE JOINT CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), and ______________________________________ corporation/limited liability company/partnership (Circle One) (“Regional Developer”), with reference to the following facts: A. We and our affiliates have designed and developed valuable and proprietary formats and systems for the development and operation of businesses operating single unit franchises at a specific location (“Location Franchise(s)” or “Franchise(s)”). Location Franchises offer affordable, convenient and accessible chiropractic care to the general public through licensed chiropractors. B. We have developed and use, promote and license certain trademarks, service marks and other commercial symbols in operating our Location Franchises, including “The Joint®”, “The Joint® Chiropractic”, “The Joint…The chiropractic place®”, and we may create, use and license other trademarks, service marks and commercial symbols for use in operating our franchises (collectively, the “Marks”). C. We offer prospects persons or entities the right to own and operate a Location Franchise offering the products and services we authorize (and only the products and services we authorize) and using our business formats, methods, systems, procedures, signs, designs and layouts, standards, specifications and Marks, all of which we may improve, further develop and otherwise modify from time to time (collectively, the “System”). D. We seek a Regional Developer who will open and operate, or solicit and assist the owners of Location Franchises (referred to as a “Franchisee(s)”) in opening and operating numerous Location Franchises within a specified geographic area described in Exhibit 1 (the “Development Area”). E. Regional Developer desires to establish a business (a “Regional Developer Business”) under which it will solicit, qualify, train and assist Franchisees to build and operate Location Franchises within the Development Area, and we desire to grant to Regional Developer the right to operate the Regional Developer Business in accordance with the terms and upon the conditions contained in this Agreement. WHEREFORE, IT IS AGREED 1. GRANT OF RIGHTS. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we hereby grant to Regional Developer, and Regional Developer hereby accepts, the rights during the Term to solicit, screen, qualify for final approval by us, train and assist Franchisees to open and operate, Location Franchises in the Development Area. 2. REGIONAL DEVELOPER’S DEVELOPMENT OBLIGATION. 2.1 Minimum Development Obligation and Development Schedule. Regional Developer shall solicit, screen, qualify, train and assist Franchisees to construct, equip, open and operate, within the Development Area, the total number of Location Franchises set forth in Exhibit 2 (the “Minimum Development Obligation”), in the manner and within each of the time periods specified therein (the “Development Schedule”). You must do so in accordance with the following:

2 (a) You shall market the Location Franchises within the Development Area in accordance with all applicable laws (including without limitation all franchise laws pursuant to any Federal Trade Commission regulation and any registration states’ laws). You may not use any advertising material which has not been either provided by us or approved by us in writing prior to its publication. Neither you nor any of your employees or representatives shall solicit prospective Franchisees until we have registered our current Franchise Disclosure Document (“FDD”) in applicable jurisdictions and have provided you with the requisite documents or at any time when we notify you that its registration is not then in effect or its documents are not then in compliance with applicable laws. If your activities pursuant to this Agreement require the preparation, amendment, registration, or filing of information or any disclosure or other documents, all requisite franchise disclosure documents, ancillary documents, and registration applications shall be prepared and filed by us or our designee, and registration secured, before you may solicit prospective Franchisees. At your cost, you shall: (1) promptly provide all information we reasonably require to prepare all requisite disclosure documents and ancillary documents for the offering of franchises throughout your Development Area; and (2) execute all documents we require for the purpose of registering us and you to offer franchises throughout the Development Area. You agree to review all information pertaining to you prepared to comply with legal requirements for selling franchises in the Development and verify its accuracy if we so request. You acknowledge that we and our affiliates and designees shall not be liable to you for any errors, omissions, or delays which occur in the preparation of such materials. You shall be responsible for advertising, recruiting, screening, and interviewing prospective Franchisees within the Development Area. You shall provide prospective Franchisees with written information regarding a Location Franchise approved by us or communicate information regarding Location Franchises via the telephone, face-to-face meetings, or visits with other Location Franchises within the Development Area. You shall submit each qualified prospective Franchisee to us for approval. You further agree that all prospective Franchisees submitted to us by you shall be individuals who are of good character, have adequate financial resources, and meet our criteria for Franchisees. (b) Throughout the Term, you shall use your commercially-reasonable efforts to develop the Development Area. (c) Subject to the possible suspension of the Minimum Development Obligation as set forth in Section 2.1(g)(iii) of this Agreement, you shall be responsible for satisfying the Minimum Development Obligation in connection with the Development Schedule that is set forth in Exhibit 2. For purposes of this Agreement, “Minimum Development Obligation” shall mean: your requirements to achieve that number of Sales by the deadlines set forth in the Development Schedule (Exhibit 2) both with regard to (1) the minimum number of completed Sales that must be achieved each year of this Agreement, by the annual anniversary dates measured from the Effective Date of this Agreement; and (2) the cumulative minimum number of Location Franchises that must be opened and operating within your Development Area by the annual anniversary dates measured from the Effective Date of this Agreement. “Cumulative” means the net sum of (a) Franchisees in your Development Area that became Sales in a previous year, (b) plus the Sales in your Development Area that took place in the applicable current year, (c) minus the number of Franchisees in your Development Area that were closed (due to non renewal of Franchise Agreement, abandonment, etc.) in the applicable current year. The number of Sales and deadlines shall be negotiated in good faith and mutually agreed upon by the parties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Sale” or Sales” means: that moment when: (1) the Initial Franchise Fee has been collected, and (2) a copy of the Franchise Agreement has been executed. Only newly constructed Location Franchises qualify as a completed Sale. (d) For each proposed Franchisee, you shall submit to us a report which shall include a completed written application by such proposed Franchisee together with such additional information and comments, as specified by us and on forms provided by us. 3 (e) We may approve or disapprove each Franchisee candidate proposed by you, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Our good faith disapproval of any such candidate shall not excuse you from failing to meet the Minimum Development Obligation. (f) If you are not in compliance with the Minimum Development Obligation, it is understood and agreed that we retain the right (either directly or through our designees) but not the obligation, throughout the Term, to market, negotiate, and sell franchises for Franchisees within the Development Area. (g) Relief from sales responsibilities: (i) We may from time to time, as mutually agreed upon by the parties, relieve you from the duty to sell Location Franchises in the Development Area. If we do so, we (or our designee) will exercise commercially-reasonable efforts to sell such Location Franchises within the Development Area. However, neither we nor our designees make any promise or warranty that it will sell any number of Location Franchises within the Development Area during this relief period, including any number lesser or greater than the Minimum Development Obligation. (ii) With regard to the “commercially-reasonable efforts “obligation in Section 2.1(g)(i) above, it is understood that we (either directly or through our designee) will be responsible for all sales duties (prospective Franchisee calls, presentations, follow-up and closings), and your franchise sales duties will be limited to reasonable support of, and cooperation with, us and (as applicable) our designees. (iii) For so long as we relieve you of the franchise sales responsibilities in your Development Area and you perform the required support and cooperation duties, you shall be fully relieved of the Minimum Development Obligation. However, if we later decide to relinquish and re-delegate back to you such franchise sales responsibilities in your Development Area, then you will be required, for the remainder of the Term, to satisfy the remainder of the Minimum Development Obligation. We will proportionately reduce the non- achieved portion of the Minimum Development Obligation for the time period that we handled sales from the total of your Minimum Development Obligation. (iv) During any relief period, we shall pay to you a reduced commission of 20% of the Initial Franchise Fee we collect. (h) If the opening of any Location Franchise within the Development Area is delayed on account of an act of God, war, riot, natural disaster or fire which is beyond your reasonable control or if we are unable to provide you a registered Franchise Disclosure Document (as applicable, a “Delaying Event”), then the date by which you must have the required number of Location Franchises open and operating will be extended for the time which we consider, in our business judgment following consultation with you, necessary to remedy the effects of the Delaying Event. If a Location Franchise within the Development Area is destroyed or damaged such that the Location Franchise cannot continue to operate, such destroyed or damaged Location Franchise shall continue to count toward satisfaction of the Minimum Development Obligation (during the period until such Location Franchise reopens at the same location or at a substitute location acceptable to us) but only if you or such Franchisee, as applicable, shall repair and restore such Location Franchise to our Then-Current standards and specifications within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the occurrence of such destruction or damage, subject to a further extension of time as a result of any Delaying Events.

We will have the right during such sixty (60) day period to request documentation related to the offer, including without limitation financial and legal information related to the purchase of the interest. The thirty (30) day period shall be extended in the event you fail to provide us with the requested documentation.

If we exercise our right of first refusal, the Seller agrees that, for two (2) years beginning on the closing date, the Seller and members of its immediate family will be bound by the non-competition covenant contained in Section 12.2 below. If we do not exercise our right of first refusal, the Seller may complete the sale to the proposed buyer on the original offer’s terms, subject to our approval of the transfer as provided above. If the Seller does not complete the sale to the proposed buyer within sixty (60) days after we notify the Seller that we do not intend to exercise our right of first refusal, or if there is a material change in the terms of the sale (which the Seller must let us know promptly), we will have an additional right of first refusal during the sixty (60) day period following either the expiration of the sixty (60) day period or receipt of Notice of the material change(s) in the sale’s terms, either on the terms originally offered or the modified terms, at our option. 11.7 Ownership Structure.

NON-COMPETITION. 12.1 In Term – Exclusive Relationship. Franchisor has entered into this Agreement with Regional Developer on the condition that, except as Franchisor shall approve in writing, Regional Developer will deal exclusively with Franchisor insofar as any business defined below as a Competitive Business. Franchisor acknowledges that Regional Developer may perform similar service for other franchise systems or engage in unrelated business activities, however, without violating the terms of this Agreement. If the Regional Developer is engaged in any other business activities, Regional Developer shall disclose such business activities to Franchisor in writing prior to signing this Agreement. 24 Regional Developer acknowledges and agrees that Franchisor would be unable to protect its Confidential Information and would be unable to encourage a free exchange of ideas and information among Regional Developers and Franchisor if Regional Developers were permitted to hold an interest in any Competitive Business. Regional Developer therefore agrees that, after the Effective Date of this Agreement, without the prior written approval of Franchisor, which approval may be withheld by Franchisor in Franchisor’s sole and absolute discretion, neither Regional Developer, Regional Developer’s shareholders, members or partners who participate in the management of Regional Developer, nor Regional Developer’s spouse, and, if applicable, the Operating Principal shall: (a) have any direct or indirect interest as a disclosed or beneficial owner in a “Competitive Business”, which shall be defined as a business operating or granting franchises or licenses to others to operate any business other than those licenses by franchisor; (b) perform services as a director, officer, manager, employee, consultant, representative, agent or otherwise for a Competitive Business, wherever located or operating; (c) divert or attempt to divert any business related to, or any customer or account of, the Regional Developer Business, Franchisor’s business or any other Regional Developer’s or Franchisees’ Business, by direct inducement or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Regional Developer shall not be prohibited from owning securities in a Competitive Business if such securities are listed on a stock exchange or traded on the over-the-counter market and represent five percent (5%) or less of that class of securities issued and outstanding; (ii) Regional Developer will not be deemed to be operating a Competitive Business, as that term is defined above, if the Regional Developer operates a The Joint Location Franchise under an approved Franchise Agreement. 12.2 Post-Term. For a eighteen (18) month period following the assignment, expiration or termination of this Agreement, for any reason, neither Regional Developer, any Owner, nor any member of Regional Developer’s or an Owner’s immediate family will have any direct or indirect interest (e.g., through a spouse) as a disclosed or beneficial owner, investor, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant, representative or agent, or in any other capacity, in any Competitive Business located or operating: (a) within the Development Area; (b) within the development area of any of our other regional developers, (c) within twenty-five (25) miles of any Location Franchise or Regional Developer franchise or in operation or development on the date of assignment, expiration or termination; or (d) within any unsold development areas. The term “Competitive Business” means any business in which you perform the franchise development/sales, training and/or operational support responsibilities for a pain management franchise or license brand, or if you currently have an independent chiropractic clinic that uses a non-insurance based/membership model. 13. TERMINATION. 13.1 Termination by You. You may terminate this Agreement due to a material default of our obligations hereunder, which default is not cured by us within sixty (60) days after our receipt of prompt written Notice by you to us detailing the alleged default with specificity.

(xviii) If you do not strictly comply with the Minimum Development Obligation at any time during the term of this Agreement (except during such time when we shall have relieved you of your sales responsibilities in accordance with Section 2.1(g)), then it shall be your sole responsibility to incorporate within your annual business plan (required under Section 6.11(b)) an action plan for curing your default of the Minimum Development Obligation. Your failure to fully cure a default of the Minimum Development Obligation within six (6) months of such default shall cause an immediate termination of this Agreement, without any further opportunity to cure.

GENERAL CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS. 15.1 Relationship of Regional Developer to Company. It is expressly agreed that the parties intend by this Agreement to establish between us and Regional Developer the relationship of franchisor and franchisee. Except as expressly provided herein, it is further agreed that Regional Developer has no authority to create or assume in our name or on our behalf, any obligation, express or implied, or to act or purport to act as agent or representative on our behalf for any purpose whatsoever. In no event shall either party be deemed to be fiduciaries of the other. Neither we nor Regional Developer is the employer, employee, agent, partner or co-venturer of or with the other, each being independent contractors. Regional Developer agrees that it will not hold himself out as the agent, employee, partner or co-venturer of ours, or as having any of the aforesaid authority. All Employees hired by or working for Regional Developer shall be the employees of Regional Developer and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed employees of us or subject to our control. 15.2 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Regional Developer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and to reimburse any one or more of the Indemnified Parties for any and all claims, obligations and damages directly or indirectly arising out of: (1) the Regional Developer Business conducted by Regional Developer pursuant to this Agreement, (2) Regional Developer’s breach of this Agreement, or (3) Regional Developer’s non-compliance or alleged non- compliance with any law, ordinance, rule or regulation. For purposes of this indemnification, “claims” include all obligations, damages (actual, consequential, punitive or otherwise) and costs that any Indemnified Party reasonably incurs in defending any claim against it, including, without limitation, reasonable accountants’, arbitrators’, attorneys’ and expert witness’ fees, costs of investigation and proof of facts, court costs, travel and living expenses and other expenses of litigation, arbitration or alternative dispute resolution, regardless of whether litigation or alternative dispute resolution is commenced. Each Indemnified Party may defend and control the defense of any claim against it which is subject to this indemnification at Regional Developer’s expense, and Regional Developer may not settle any claim or take any other remedial, corrective or other actions relating to any claim without our consent. This indemnity will continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding this Agreement’s expiration or termination. An Indemnified Party need not seek recovery from an insurer or other third party, or 29 otherwise mitigate its losses and expenses, in order to maintain and recover fully a claim against Regional Developer. Regional Developer agrees that a failure to pursue a recovery or mitigate a loss will not reduce or alter the amounts that an Indemnified Party may recover from Regional Developer. 15.3 Waiver and Delay. Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, no waiver by us of any breach or series of breaches or defaults in performance by the Regional Developer, and no failure, refusal or neglect of or by us to exercise any right, power or option given to us under this Agreement or under any other agreement between us and Regional Developer, whether entered into before, after or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement (and whether or not related to this Agreement) or to insist upon strict compliance with or performance of the Regional Developer’s obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between us and Regional Developer, whether entered into before, after or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement (and whether or not related to this Agreement), shall constitute a novation, or a waiver of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any subsequent breach thereof or a waiver of our right at any time thereafter to require exact and strict compliance with the provisions thereof. 15.4 Survival of Covenants. The covenants contained in this Agreement which, by their terms, require performance by the parties after the expiration or termination of this Agreement or ancillary agreements, shall be enforceable notwithstanding said expiration or other termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. 15.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of us and Regional Developer. 15.6 Joint and Several Liability. If either party consists of more than one person or entity, or a combination thereof, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or entity to the other under this Agreement are joint and several. 15.7 Governing Law. Except to the extent governed by the United States Trademark Act of 1946 (Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1051 et seq.), this Agreement and the Regional Developer franchise will be governed by the internal laws of the State of Arizona (without reference to its choice of law and conflict of law rules), except that the provisions of any Arizona law relating to the offer and sale of business opportunities or franchises or governing the relationship of a franchisor and its franchisees will not apply unless their jurisdictional requirements are met independently without reference to this Paragraph. You agree that we may institute any action against you arising out of or relating to this Agreement (which is not required to be mediated hereunder or as to which mediation is waived) in any state or federal court of general jurisdiction in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection you may have to either the jurisdiction or venue of such court. 15.8 Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 14 and the provisions below, Regional Developer and its owners agree that all actions arising under this Agreement or otherwise as a result of the relationship between Regional Developer and us must be commenced in the State of Arizona, and in the state or federal court of general jurisdiction closest to where our principal business address then is located, and Regional Developer (and its Owners) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of those courts and waives any objection Regional Developer (or its owners) might have with either the jurisdiction of or venue in those courts. Nonetheless, Regional Developer and any of its Owners agree that we may enforce this Agreement and any arbitration orders and awards in the courts of the state or states in which Regional Developer or its Owners are domiciled. 15.9 Waiver of Punitive Damages and Jury Trial. Except for Regional Developer’s obligation to indemnify us under Section 15.2 above and except where authorized by federal statute, we and Regional Developer and its Owners waive to the fullest extent permitted by law any right to or claim for any punitive or exemplary damages against the other and agree that, in the event of a dispute between us and Regional Developer, the party making a claim will be limited to equitable relief and to recovery of any actual damages it sustains.

Any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or our relationship with Regional Developer, except for claims for indemnification under Section 15.2 above, will be barred unless a judicial proceeding is commenced within one (1) year from the date on which the party asserting the claim knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claims. 15.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits incorporated in the Agreement contain all of the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement with reference to the subject matter of this Agreement. No other agreements, and all prior agreements, understanding and representations are merged in this Agreement and superseded by this Agreement. Each party represents to the other that there are no contemporaneous agreements or understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not contained in this Agreement. This Agreement cannot be modified or changed except by written instrument signed by all of the parties to this Agreement, provided that we may modify or amend the Manuals at any time without notice to, or approval of, Regional Developer or any other person. Nothing in this Agreement shall have the effect of disclaiming any of the information in the Franchise Disclosure Document or its attachments or addenda. 15.12 Title for Convenience. Article and Section titles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. 15.13 Gender. All terms used in any one number or gender shall extend to mean and include any other number and gender as the facts, context or sense of this Agreement or any section or paragraph hereof may require. 15.14 Severability.

If any covenant which restricts competitive activity is deemed unenforceable by virtue of its scope in terms of area, business activity prohibited, and/or length of time, but would be enforceable if modified, we and Regional Developer agree that the covenant will be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in the jurisdiction whose law determines the covenant’s validity. If any applicable and binding law or rule of any jurisdiction requires more notice than this Agreement requires of this Agreement’s termination or of our refusal to enter into a successor agreement, or if, under any applicable and binding law or rule of any jurisdiction, any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable or unlawful, the notice and/or other action required by the law or rule will be substituted for the comparable provisions of this Agreement, and we may modify the invalid or unenforceable provisions to the extent required to be valid and enforceable or delete the unlawful provision in its entirety. Regional Developer agrees to be bound by any promise or covenant imposing the maximum duty the law permits which is subsumed within any provision of this Agreement, as though it were separately articulated in and made a part of this Agreement. 15.15 Fees and Expenses. Should any party to this Agreement commence any action or proceeding for the purpose of enforcing, or preventing the breach of, any provision of this Agreement, whether by arbitration, judicial or quasi-judicial action or otherwise, or for damages for any alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, or for a declaration of such party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, then the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the losing party for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees for the services rendered to such prevailing party. 15.16 Notices.

California Business and Professions Code Sections 20000 through 20043 provide rights to the franchisee concerning termination or non-renewal of a franchise. If the Regional Developer Agreement contains a provision that is inconsistent with the law, the law will control. 2. The Regional Developer Agreement provides for termination upon bankruptcy. This provision may not be enforceable under federal bankruptcy law (11 U.S.C.A. Sec. 101 et seq.). 3. The Regional Developer Agreement contains a covenant not to compete, which extends beyond the termination of the franchise. This provision may not be enforceable under California law. 4. The Regional Developer Agreement requires mediation. The mediation will occur in Maricopa County, State of Arizona. Prospective franchisees are encouraged to consult private legal counsel to determine the applicability of California and federal laws (such as Business and Professions Code Section 20040.5, Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281, and the Federal Arbitration Act) to any provisions of a Regional Developer Agreement restricting venue to a forum outside the State of California. 5. The Agreement requires the application of laws of Arizona. This requirement may be unenforceable under California law. 6. You must sign a general release if you renew or transfer your franchise. California Corporations Code 31512 voids a waiver of your rights under the Franchise Investment Law (California Corporations Code 31000 through 31516). Business and Professions Code 20010 voids a waiver of your rights under the Franchise Relations Act (Business and Professions Code 20000 through 20043).

This provision may not be enforceable under federal bankruptcy law. (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.). 4.

In conformance with Section 41 of the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act, any condition, stipulation or provision purporting to bind any person acquiring any franchise to waive compliance with the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act or any other law of Illinois is void. 5.

Any provision in the Agreement that would require you, as part of the Agreement or as a condition of the sale, renewal or assignment of the franchise, to assent to a release which would relieve any person from liability imposed under the provisions of the Maryland Franchise Law is void if that the provision violates this law. The provision in the Regional Developer Agreement which provides for termination upon bankruptcy of the franchisee may not be enforceable under federal bankruptcy law (11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq.) 3. Any provision in the Agreement which operates to waive your right to file a lawsuit alleging a cause of action arising under the Maryland Franchise Law in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Maryland is void if that the provision violates this law. Claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Law may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in Maryland, within 3 years after the grant of the franchise. 4. Based upon the franchisor's financial condition, the Maryland Securities Commissioner has required a financial assurance. Therefore, all initial fees and payments owed by franchisees shall be deferred until the franchisor completes its pre-opening obligations under the Regional Developer Agreement. 5.

RECITALS WHEREAS, you and we are parties to that certain Regional Developer Agreement dated ____________, 201__ (the “RDA”) that has been signed concurrently with the signing of this Addendum; WHEREAS, the New York Franchise laws and regulations (the “New York Franchise Law”) apply to the franchise relationship between you and us because one or more of the following apply: (i) you are a resident of New York and the franchises that you will establish pursuant to the RDA will be located or operated in New York; or (ii) any of the offering or sales activity relating to the RDA originated in or was directed to New York; WHEREAS, the New York Franchise Law imposes certain requirements and limitations on franchise agreements that are subject to the New York Franchise Law and these requirements and limitations are set forth in this Addendum; and WHEREAS, you and we agree to amend the RDA to comply with the New York Franchise Law. NOW, THEREFORE, you and we agree that the RDA shall be amended in accordance with the terms of this Addendum. 1. Amendments to RDA. The RDA is hereby amended to incorporate the following provisions: (a) We will not require that you prospectively assent to a release, assignment, novation, waiver, or estoppel that purports to relieve any person from liability imposed by the New York Franchise Law. (b) We will not place any condition, stipulation, or provision in the RDA that requires you to waive compliance with any provision of the New York Franchise Law. (c) Any provision in the RDA that limits the time period in which you may assert a legal claim against us under the New York Franchise Law is amended to provide for a three (3) year statute of limitations for purposes of bringing a claim arising under the New York Franchise Law. (d) Notwithstanding the transfer provision in the Franchise Agreement, we will not assign the Franchise Agreement except to an assignee who, in our good faith judgment, is willing and able to assume our obligations under the Franchise Agreement. 2. Miscellaneous. (a) Modification. This Addendum and the RDA when executed constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein. Any and all prior agreements and understandings between the parties and relating to the subject matter contained in this Addendum and the RDA, whether written or verbal, other than as contained within the executed Addendum and RDA, are void and have no force and effect. In order to be binding between the parties, any subsequent modifications must be in writing signed by the parties. (b) Effect on Agreement. Except as specifically modified or supplemented by this Addendum, all terms, conditions, covenants and agreements set forth in the RDA shall remain in full force and effect. This Addendum shall not apply unless the jurisdictional requirements of the New York Franchise Law are met independently and without reference to this Addendum. (c) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the executed RDA and this Addendum, this Addendum shall prevail. (d) Counterparts. This Addendum may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same document.

FRANCHISOR The Joint Corp., a Delaware corporation By: Name: Title: ______________________________________ [Date] FRANCHISEE [Signature][Print Name] ______________________________________ [Date] NORTH DAKOTA ADDENDUM TO REGIONAL DEVELOPER AGREEMENT 1. The Regional Developer Agreement contains a provision requiring a general release as a condition of renewal or transfer of the franchise. Such release is subject to and will exclude claims arising under the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law. 2. The Regional Developer Agreement will be amended to state that mediation involving a franchise purchased in North Dakota must be held in a location mutually agreed on prior to the mediation, or if the parties cannot agree on a location, at a location to be determined by the mediator. 3. The Regional Developer Agreement is amended to add that covenants not to compete on termination or expiration of a Regional Developer Agreement are generally not enforceable in the State of North Dakota except in limited circumstances provided by North Dakota law. 4. The Regional Developer Agreement is amended to add that any claim or right arising under the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law may be brought in the appropriate state or federal court in North Dakota, subject to the mediation provision of the Agreement. 5. The Regional Developer Agreement is amended to state that, in the event of a conflict of law, to the extent required by the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law, North Dakota law will prevail. 6. The Regional Developer Agreement requires the franchisee to waive a trial by jury, as well as exemplary and punitive damages. These requirements are not enforceable in North Dakota pursuant to Section 51- 19-09 of the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law, and are therefore not part of the Regional Developer Agreement. 7. The Regional Developer Agreement requirement that the franchise consent to a limitation of claims period of one year is not consistent with North Dakota law. The limitation of claims period under the Regional Developer Agreement shall therefore be governed by North Dakota law. 8. Each provision of this Addendum will be effective only to the extent, with respect to such provision, that the jurisdictional requirements of the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law, N.D. Cent. Code §§ 51-19-01 through 51-19-17, are met independently without reference to this Addendum. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed, sealed, and delivered this North Dakota Addendum to the Regional Developer Agreement on the same day as the Regional Developer Agreement was executed.

The Regional Developer Agreement contains a provision requiring a general release as a condition of renewal and transfer of the franchise. Such release will exclude claims arising under the Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act. 2. This Agreement requires that it be governed by Arizona law. To the extent that such law conflicts with Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act, it is void under Sec. 19-28.1-14. 3. The Regional Developer Agreement is amended by the addition of the following, which will be considered an integral part of this Agreement: “§ 19-28.1-14 of the Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act provides that “A provision in an Regional Developer Agreement restricting jurisdiction or venue to a forum outside this state or requiring the application of the laws of another state is void with respect to a claim otherwise enforceable under this Act.” 4. Each provision of this Addendum will be effective only to the extent, with respect to such provision, that the jurisdictional requirements of Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act, §§ 19- 28-1.1 through 19- 28.1-34, are met independently without reference to this Addendum. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed, sealed, and delivered this Rhode Island Addendum to the Regional Developer Agreement on the same date as the Regional Developer Agreement was executed.

Transfer fees are collectable to the extent that they reflect the franchisor’s reasonable estimated or actual costs in effecting a transfer. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed, sealed, and delivered this Washington Addendum to the Regional Developer Agreement on the same date as the Regional Developer Agreement was executed.

EXHIBIT F STATE-SPECIFIC DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE SECTION 31125 REQUIRES THAT THE FRANCHISOR GIVE THE FRANCHISEE A DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF CORPORATIONS PRIOR TO A SOLICITATION OF A PROPOSED MATERIAL MODIFICATION OF AN EXISTING FRANCHISE. THE CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE INVESTMENT LAW REQUIRES THAT A COPY OF ALL PROPOSED AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE SALE OF THE FRANCHISE BE DELIVERED TOGETHER WITH THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT. Neither we nor any person or franchise broker identified in Item 2 is subject to any currently effective order of any national securities association or national securities exchange, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C.A. 78a et seq., suspending or expelling such persons from membership in that association or exchange. Item 5 of the Disclosure Document is modified to include the following paragraph: We apply the initial Regional Developer fee to our general operating revenues, which we use, among other purposes, to cover the costs of marketing to prospective Regional Developer franchisees, training new Regional Developer franchisees and assisting new Regional Developer franchisees in opening their businesses. The California Business and Professions Code Sections 20000 through 20043 provide rights to you concerning termination and non-renewal of a franchise. If the Regional Developer Agreement contains a provision that in inconsistent with the law, the law will control. We may not terminate your Regional Developer franchise except for good cause, and we must give you a notice of default and a reasonable opportunity to cure the defects (except for certain defects specified in the statute, for which no opportunity to cure is required by law). The statute also requires that we give you notice of any intention not to renew your Regional Developer franchise at least 180 days before expiration of the Regional Developer Agreement. You must sign a general release if you renew or transfer your Regional Developer franchise. California Corporations Code 31512 voids a waiver of your rights under the Franchise Investment Law (California Corporations Code 31000 through 31516). Business and Professions Code 20010 voids a waiver of your rights under the Franchise Relations Act (Business and Professions Code 20000 through 20043). The Regional Developer Agreement contains a covenant not to compete, which extends beyond the termination of your Regional Developer franchise. This provision may not be enforceable under California law. THE REGIONAL DEVELOPER AGREEMENT REQUIRES APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ARIZONA. THIS PROVISION MAY NOT BE ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW. To the extent permitted by law, you and we waive any right to or claim for any punitive or exemplary damages against each other and agree that in the event of a dispute between us, each will be limited to the recovery of actual damages only (except in limited circumstances). Each party further waives trial by jury and, to the extent permitted by law, all claims arising out of or relating to the Regional Developer Agreement must be brought within one year from the date on which you or we knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to such claims (except for claims relating to nonpayment or underpayment of amounts you owe us). The Regional Developer Agreement requires binding arbitration. The arbitration will occur at the office of the American Arbitration Office closest to our principal executive offices. Prospective franchisees

are encouraged to consult private legal counsel to determine the applicability of California and federal laws (such as Business and Professions Code Section 20040.5, Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281, and the Federal Arbitration Act) to any provisions of a franchise agreement restricting venue to a forum outside the State of California.

ANY COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE CONTENT OF THIS WEBSITE MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL PROTECTION & INNOVATION at https://dfpi.ca.gov/. REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF HAWAII THESE FRANCHISES WILL BE/HAVE BEEN FILED UNDER THE FRANCHISE INVESTMENT LAW OF THE STATE OF HAWAII. FILING DOES NOT CONSTITUTE APPROVAL, RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT BY THE DIRECTOR OF COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS OR A FINDING BY THE DIRECTOR OF COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED HEREIN IS TRUE, COMPLETE AND NOT MISLEADING. THE FRANCHISE INVESTMENT LAW MAKES IT UNLAWFUL TO OFFER OR SELL ANY FRANCHISE IN THIS STATE WITHOUT FIRST PROVIDING TO THE PROSPECTIVE FRANCHISEE, OR SUBFRANCHISOR, AT LEAST SEVEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXECUTION BY THE PROSPECTIVE FRANCHISEE OF ANY BINDING FRANCHISE OR OTHER AGREEMENT, OR AT LEAST SEVEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE PAYMENT OF ANY CONSIDERATION BY THE FRANCHISEE, OR SUBFRANCHISOR, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, A COPY OF THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT, TOGETHER WITH A COPY OF ALL PROPOSED AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE SALE OF THE FRANCHISE. THIS DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT CONTAINS A SUMMARY ONLY OF CERTAIN MATERIAL PROVISIONS OF THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. THE CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT SHOULD BE REFERRED TO FOR A STATEMENT OF ALL RIGHTS, CONDITIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS OF BOTH THE FRANCHISOR AND THE FRANCHISEE. Item 20 of this Disclosure Document will be amended by the addition of the following paragraph: This franchise offering is or will be effective in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin. No states have refused, by order or otherwise, to register these franchises. No states have revoked or suspended the right to offer these franchises. The proposed registration of these franchises has not been involuntarily withdrawn in any state. REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS Item 5 of this disclosure document is amended to add the following language at the end of the section: Fee Deferral All fees referenced in the Franchise Agreement and Regional Developer Agreement are subject to deferral pursuant to order of the Illinois Attorney General’s Office based upon their review of our financial condition as reflected in our financial statements. Accordingly, you will pay no fees to us until we have completed all of our material pre-opening responsibilities to you and you commence operating the first franchised business. Item 17 of this disclosure document is supplemented by the addition of the following paragraphs at the end of the chart: State Law The conditions under which you can be terminated and your rights on non-renewal may be affected by Illinois law, 815 ILCS 705/19 and 705/20. The Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act will govern any Regional Developer Agreement if it applies to a subfranchise located in Illinois. Any condition in the Regional Developer Agreement that designates jurisdiction or venue in a forum outside of Illinois is void with respect to any cause of action that otherwise is enforceable in Illinois, provided that the Regional Developer Agreement may provide for arbitration in a forum outside of Illinois. In conformance with Section 41 of the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act, any condition, stipulation or provision purporting to bind any person acquiring any franchise to waive compliance with the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act or any other law of Illinois is void. REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF INDIANA The Regional Developer Agreement contains a covenant not to compete that extends beyond the termination of your Regional Developer franchise. This provision may not be enforceable under Indiana law. Indiana law makes unilateral termination of your Regional Developer franchise unlawful unless there is a material violation of the Regional Developer Agreement and the termination is not done in bad faith. If Indiana law requires the Regional Developer Agreement and all related documents to be governed by Indiana law, then nothing in the Regional Developer Agreement or related documents referring to Arizona law will abrogate or reduce any of your rights as provided for under Indiana law. Indiana law prohibits a prospective general release of claims subject to the Indiana Deceptive Franchise Practices Law. Although the Regional Developer Agreement requires mediation to be held at the office of the American Arbitration Association closest to our principal executive offices, mediation held pursuant to the Regional Developer Agreement must take place in Indiana if you so request. If you choose Indiana, we have the right to select the location in Indiana. REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF MARYLAND A franchisee located within the state of Maryland shall not be required to assent to any release, estoppel or waiver of liability as a condition of purchasing a franchise which would act as a release, estoppel or waiver of any liability incurred under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. The provisions in the Regional Developer Agreement relating to the general release that is required as a condition of renewal, sale and assignment/transfer shall not apply to any liability under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. Lawsuits by either you or us may take place in Maryland for claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. Any limitation of claims provision(s) in the Regional Developer Agreement shall not act to reduce the 3-year statute of limitations afforded to you for bringing a claim under the Law. Any claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Law must be brought within 3 years after the grant of the franchise to you. Item 5 of this disclosure document is amended to add the following language at the end of the section: Fee Deferral Based upon the franchisor's financial condition, the Maryland Securities Commissioner has required a financial assurance. Therefore, all initial fees and payments owed by franchisees shall be deferred until the franchisor completes its pre-opening obligations under the Regional Developer Agreement. REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF MINNESOTA We will protect your right to use the Marks and/or indemnify you from any loss, costs or expenses arising out of any claim, suit or demand regarding the use of the Marks. Minn. Rule 2860.4400D prohibits us from requiring you to assent to a general release. Any release you sign as a condition of renewal or transfer will not apply to any claims you may have under the Minnesota Franchise Law. With respect to franchises governed by Minnesota law, we will comply with Minn. Stat. Sec. 80C. 14, subds, 3, 4 and 5 which require, except in certain specified cases, that you be given 90 days’ notice of termination (with 60 days to cure) and 180 days’ notice for nonrenewal of the Regional Developer Agreement. Minn. Stat. § 80C.17, Subd. 5, states that no civil action pertaining to a violation of a franchise rule or statute can be commenced more than three years after the cause of action accrues Minn. Stat. Sec. 80C.21 and Minn. Rule 2860.4400J prohibit us from requiring litigation to be conducted outside Minnesota. In addition, nothing in this Disclosure Document or the Regional Developer Agreement can abrogate or reduce any of your rights as provided for in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 80C, or your rights to any procedure, forum, or remedies provided for by the laws of the jurisdiction. Minn. Rule Part 2860.4400J prohibits us from requiring you to waive your rights to a jury trial or waive your rights to any procedure, forum, or remedies provided for by the laws of the jurisdiction, or consenting to liquidated damages, termination penalties or judgment notes. REQUIRED BY STATE OF NEW JERSEY Liquidated damages are void if unreasonable under the totality of the circumstances, including whether a statute governs the relationship and concerns liquidated damages clauses; and the common practice in the industry. REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF NEW YORK 1. The following information is added to the cover page of the Franchise Disclosure Document: INFORMATION COMPARING FRANCHISORS IS AVAILABLE. CALL THE STATE ADMINISTRATORS LISTED IN EXHIBIT A OR YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR SOURCES OF INFORMATION. REGISTRATION OF THIS FRANCHISE BY NEW YORK STATE DOES NOT MEAN THAT NEW YORK STATE RECOMMENDS IT OR HAS VERIFIED THE INFORMATION IN THIS FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT. IF YOU LEARN THAT ANYTHING IN THE FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT IS UNTRUE, CONTACT THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF LAW, BUREAU OF INVESTOR PROTECTION AND SECURITIES, 120 BROADWAY, 23RD FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10271. THE FRANCHISOR MAY, IF IT CHOOSES, NEGOTIATE WITH YOU ABOUT ITEMS COVERED IN THE FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT. HOWEVER, THE FRANCHISOR CANNOT USE THE NEGOTIATING PROCESS TO PREVAIL UPON A PROSPECTIVE FRANCHISEE TO ACCEPT TERMS WHICH ARE LESS FAVORABLE THAN THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT. 2. The following is added at the end of Item 3: Except as provided above, with regard to the franchisor, its predecessor, a person identified in Item 2, or an affiliate offering franchises under the franchisor’s principal trademark: A. No such party has an administrative, criminal or civil action pending against that person alleging: a felony, a violation of a franchise, antitrust, or securities law, fraud, embezzlement, fraudulent conversion, misappropriation of property, unfair or deceptive practices, or comparable civil or misdemeanor allegations. B. No such party has pending actions, other than routine litigation incidental to the business, which are significant in the context of the number of franchisees and the size, nature or financial condition of the franchise system or its business operations. C. No such party has been convicted of a felony or pleaded nolo contendere to a felony charge or, within the 10 year period immediately preceding the application for registration, has been convicted of or pleaded nolo contendere to a misdemeanor charge or has been the subject of a civil action alleging: violation of a franchise, antifraud, or securities law; fraud; embezzlement; fraudulent conversion or misappropriation of property; or unfair or deceptive practices or comparable allegations. D. No such party is subject to a currently effective injunctive or restrictive order or decree relating to the franchise, or under a Federal, State, or Canadian franchise, securities, antitrust, trade regulation or trade practice law, resulting from a concluded or pending action or proceeding brought by a public agency; or is subject to any currently effective order of any national securities association or national securities exchange, as defined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, suspending or expelling such person from membership in such association or exchange; or is subject to a currently effective injunctive or restrictive order relating to any other business activity as a result of an action brought by a public agency or department, including, without limitation, actions affecting a license as a real estate broker or sales agent.

3. The following is added to the end of Item 4: Neither the franchisor, its affiliate, its predecessor, officers, or general partner during the 10-year period immediately before the date of the offering circular: (a) filed as debtor (or had filed against it) a petition to start an action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (b) obtained a discharge of its debts under the bankruptcy code; or (c) was a principal officer of a company or a general partner in a partnership that either filed as a debtor (or had filed against it) a petition to start an action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or that obtained a discharge of its debts under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code during or within 1 year after that officer or general partner of the franchisor held this position in the company or partnership. 4. The following is added to the end of Item 5: The initial franchise fee constitutes part of our general operating funds and will be used as such in our discretion. 5. The following is added to the end of the “Summary” sections of Item 17(c), titled “Requirements for franchisee to renew or extend,” and Item 17(m), entitled “Conditions for franchisor approval of transfer”: However, to the extent required by applicable law, all rights you enjoy and any causes of action arising in your favor from the provisions of Article 33 of the General Business Law of the State of New York and the regulations issued thereunder shall remain in force; it being the intent of this proviso that the non-waiver provisions of General Business Law Sections 687.4 and 687.5 be satisfied. 6. The following language replaces the “Summary” section of Item 17(d), titled “Termination by franchisee”: You may terminate the agreement on any grounds available by law. 7. The following is added to the end of the “Summary” section of Item 17(j), titled “Assignment of contract by franchisor”: However, no assignment will be made except to an assignee who in good faith and judgment of the franchisor, is willing and financially able to assume the franchisor’s obligations under the Franchise Agreement. 8. The following is added to the end of the “Summary” sections of Item 17(v), titled “Choice of forum”, and Item 17(w), titled “Choice of law”: The foregoing choice of law should not be considered a waiver of any right conferred upon the franchisor or upon the franchisee by Article 33 of the General Business Law of the State of New York. REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA The Regional Developer Agreement contains a covenant not to compete which extends beyond the termination of your Regional Developer franchise. This provision may not be enforceable under North Dakota law. Although the Regional Developer Agreement provides that the place of mediation will be located at the office of the American Arbitration Association closest to our principal executive offices, we agree that the place of mediation will be a location that is in close proximity to the site of your Regional Developer Business. The Regional Developer Agreement requires that you consent to the jurisdiction of a court in close proximity to our principal executive offices. This provision may not be enforceable under North Dakota law because North Dakota law precludes you from consenting to jurisdiction of any court outside of North Dakota. Although the Regional Developer Agreement provides that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, we agree that the laws of the State of North Dakota will govern the construction and interpretation of the Regional Developer Agreement. A contractual requirement that you sign a general release may be unenforceable under the laws of North Dakota. Although the Regional Developer Agreement requires the franchisee to consent to a waiver of trial by jury, the Commissioner has determined that a requirement requiring the waiver of a trial by jury to be unfair, unjust and inequitable within the intent of Section 51-19-09 of the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law. This provision is not enforceable in North Dakota. Although the Regional Developer Agreement requires the franchisee to consent to a waiver of exemplary and punitive damages, the Commissioner had determined these types of provisions to be unfair, unjust and inequitable within the intent of Section 51-19-09 of the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law. This provision is not enforceable in North Dakota. Although the Regional Developer Agreement requires the franchisee to consent to a limitation of claims period within one year, the Commissioner had determined this to be unfair, unjust and inequitable within the intent of Section 51-19-09 of the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law. The limitation of claims period is therefore governed by North Dakota law. To the extent any provision of the Regional Developer Agreement requires you to consent to a waiver of exemplary or punitive damages, the provision will be deemed null and void. REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND Even though our Regional Developer Agreement says the laws of Arizona apply, § 19-28.1-14 of the Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act provides that “A provision in a franchise agreement restricting jurisdiction or venue to a forum outside this state or requiring the application of the laws of another state is void with respect to a claim otherwise enforceable under this Act.” REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF WASHINGTON The state of Washington has a statute, RCW 19.100.180 which may supersede the Regional Developer Agreement in your relationship with the franchisor including the areas of termination and renewal of your franchise. There may also be court decisions which may supersede the Regional Developer Agreement in your relationship with the franchisor including the areas of termination and renewal of your franchise. In any mediation involving a franchise purchased in Washington, the mediation site shall be either in the state of Washington, or in a place mutually agreed upon at the time of the mediation, or as determined by the mediator. In the event of a conflict of laws, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, Chapter 19.100 RCW shall prevail. A release or waiver of rights executed by a franchisee shall not include rights under the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act except when executed pursuant to a negotiated settlement after the agreement is in effect and where the parties are represented by independent counsel. Provisions such as those which unreasonably restrict or limit the statute of limitations period for claims under the Act, rights or remedies under the Act such as a right to a jury trial may not be enforceable. Transfer fees are collectable to the extent that they reflect the franchisor’s reasonable estimated or actual costs in effecting a transfer. These requirements must be included in an addendum to the Regional Developer Agreement you sign for the State of Washington. The undersigned does hereby acknowledge receipt of this addendum.

Now, therefore, in consideration of their mutual promises and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows: Agreement: 1. Definitions Capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including the preceding “Background” section) which are not expressly defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such term(s) that they have in the RDA. 2. Purchase and Sale (a) As of the closing date, Seller shall sell and TJC shall purchase RDA on the terms set forth herein, and the “Bill of Sale and Assignment” at Exhibit A hereto. The Parties agree that, with the exception of the survival of certain terms of the RDA as provided below in this Agreement (the “Surviving Terms”), upon the sale and purchase of the RDA, the RDA shall be terminated, effective as of the date of closing of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement; and with the exception of the Parties’ respective rights, duties and obligations under the Surviving Terms, all of the Parties respective rights, duties and obligations under the RDA shall be thereby terminated. (b) The closing date (“Closing”) of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall take place no later than _______________________. (c) All liabilities and obligations of Seller of any kind, including but not limited to, Seller’s (1) contractual obligations; (2) accounts payable accrued and debts incurred prior to the Closing; (3) obligations and liabilities with respect to employee relationships, whether current, fixed or contingent; (4) liability for violation of any laws, rules, regulations, permits, approvals or orders; and (5) taxes and related obligations not assumed by TJC remain the responsibility of Seller. (d) Each of the Parties will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller will pay personal property, business excise, sales and other similar taxes properly accruable with respect to the income resulting from ownership of the RDA for any period up to and including the Closing. TJC will be responsible for all such expenses accruing after the Closing. 147 3. Payment (a) [IF APPLICABLE]Section 4 of the RDA provides that the “formula for repurchasing the Development Area and these rights will be as follows: (a) $29,000 for each Franchise that is opened under to this Agreement; plus (b) $7,250 for each Franchise that is unopened under this Agreement.” As of the Effective Date, nine (9) Franchises have been opened under the RDA, and one (1) Franchise is unopened under the RDA. The “Purchase Price” therefore for TJC to repurchase the Development Area and the rights therein, is _____________________________________________ Dollars and No/100 ($____________). (b) At the Closing of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, TJC shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price in the amount of ______________________________________ Dollars and No/100 ($______________) in immediately available funds by a wire transfer to the bank account designated by Seller. Seller agrees to provide such wire information to TJC no less than five (5) days prior to the Closing. The wire information is as follows: ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________. (c) Following the Closing and remittance of the Purchase Price to the Seller, the RDA (and any addenda) and all of the rights thereto, shall automatically inure and transfer to TJC. 4. Surviving Terms (a) Notwithstanding the sale and termination of the RDA, the following provisions of the RDA shall survive and continue in effect in accordance with their terms: (1) Subsection (c) (uncaptioned) of Section 5.2 (“Regional Developer Manual”); (2) Section 12.2 (“Post-Term”) of Section 12 (“Non-Competition”); (3) Section 13.2 (“Rights and Obligations Upon Termination or Expiration”); and (4) for purposes of resolving any disputes under this Agreement, Section 14 (“Mediation and Arbitration”). (b) In addition, as many of the remaining provisions of the RDA shall survive and continue in effect as may be necessary for (and solely for the purpose of) interpreting the Surviving Terms. (c) Guarantor personally guarantees the performance by Seller of all of the Surviving Terms of the RDA. 5. Representations and Warranties Seller and Guarantor hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to TJC as follows: (a) Organization. Seller and Guarantor have full power and authority to conduct their business as it is now being conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. (b) Authority.

All other actions (including all action required by state law) necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement, and the other documents, instruments and agreements necessary or appropriate to carry out the transactions herein contemplated, have been taken by Seller. 148 Upon the execution of this Agreement and the other documents and instruments contemplated hereby by Seller and Guarantor, this Agreement and such other documents and instruments will be the valid and legally binding obligations of Seller and Guarantor, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). (c) No Consent or Approval Required. No authorization, consent, approval or other order of, declaration to or filing with any governmental body or authority is required for the consummation by Seller and Guarantor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (d) Compliance with Laws. To the best of Seller’s and Guarantor’s knowledge, neither Seller nor Guarantor is in violation of any of the terms, conditions or representations of the RDA, nor are they or any of them subject to any liability in respect of, any federal, state, county, township, city or municipal laws, codes, regulations or ordinances (including without limitation those relating to environmental protection, health, hazardous or toxic substances, fire or safety hazards, occupational safety, labor laws, employment discrimination, subdivision, building or zoning) with respect to the conduct of the Subject Franchise, nor has Seller or Guarantor received any notices of investigation or violation pertaining to any such matters. To the best of Seller’s and Guarantor’s knowledge, Seller and Guarantor have, and all professional employees or agents of Seller and Guarantor have, all licenses, franchises, permits, authorizations or approvals from all governmental or regulatory authorities required for the conduct of the Subject Franchise and neither Seller nor the professional employees or agents of Seller and Guarantor have violated any such license, franchise, permit, authorization or approval or any terms or conditions thereof. (e) Litigation.

(f) Financial Statements. Seller has delivered to TJC the financial statements for the RDA as of and for the calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements fairly present and will fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the Subject Franchise as of and for the periods presented. (g) Claims. Neither Seller, Guarantor, nor any other person who holds or has ever held a direct or indirect interest in the RDA has any claim, demand, or cause of action for damages of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, against TJC or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, successors and assigns by reason of any event, occurrence or omission arising under, or relating to, the RDA. (h) Pre-Closing Operations. Until such time as the Subject Franchise has been transferred and assigned to TJC, Seller and the Guarantor shall continue to operate the RDA in a commercially reasonable manner (including without limitation, engaging in the sale of any products or packages at discounted amounts, or other revenue “stuffing” activities), consistent with the respective franchise agreement, and neither the Seller nor Guarantor shall take any actions or operate the Subject Franchise in such a way as to cause or precipitate any diminution in their prospective, post-closing sales or any material shift in their prospective, post-closing revenue streams. (i) Due Diligence Request. Seller and Guarantor agree and acknowledge that TJC delivered the Due Diligence Request. Seller further warrants, represents and covenants that it has disclosed all material disclosures, documentation and information responsive to the Due Diligence Request. (j) Personal Guarantee. As an inducement and as a condition of TJC to enter into this Agreement, 149 ___________________________ agrees individually, and as the sole shareholder of _________________, to jointly and severally personally guarantee Seller’s and Guarantor’s performance, representations, covenants, and obligations under this Agreement. TJC hereby represents and warrants to each of Seller and Guarantor as follows: (a) Organization.

(c) No Consent or Approval Required. Except for the approval by TJC’s Board of Directors referenced above, no authorization, consent, approval or other order of, declaration to or filing with any governmental body or authority is required for the consummation by TJC of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Releases (a) Seller and Guarantor, for themselves and their and his heirs, legal representatives and assigns, each hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and waives all claims, demands, causes of action and damages of any kind whatever, whether known or unknown (collectively, “Claims”) that Seller or Guarantor now has or in the future may have against TJC, its officers, directors, agents, affiliates, attorneys, employees, successors and assigns, by reason of any event, occurrence or omission arising under or relating to the RDA, with the exception of Claims arising under this Agreement. (b) TJC, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and waives all Claims that TJC now has or in the future may have against Seller and Guarantor and it or his heirs, legal representatives and assigns by reason of any event, occurrence or omission arising under or relating to the RDA (provided that TJC has knowledge of any such claims as of the Effective Date), with the exception of Claims arising under this Agreement. (c) The foregoing releases shall not apply in the case of a claim for indemnification pursuant to

150 Paragraph 7 below. 7. No Assumption of Liabilities Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, TJC shall not assume any debts, liabilities or obligations of Seller, Guarantor or their shareholders, members, affiliates, officers, employees or agents of any nature, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, including, but not limited to, debts, liabilities or obligations with regard or in any way relating to any contracts (including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) employment agreements; (ii) stock transfer agreements; (iii) medical direction agreements; or (iv) any other documents related to the business, leases for real or personal property, trade payables, tax liabilities, disclosure obligations, product liabilities, liabilities to any regulatory authorities, liabilities relating to any claims, litigation or judgments, any pension, profit-sharing or other retirement plans, any medical, dental, hospitalization, life, disability or other benefit plans, any stock ownership, stock purchase, deferred compensation, performance share, bonus or other incentive plans, or any other similar plans, agreements, arrangements or understandings which Seller, Guarantor, or any of their affiliates, maintain, sponsor or are required to make contributions to, in which any employee of Seller or Guarantor participate or under which any such employee is entitled, by reason of such employment, to any benefits (collectively the (“Excluded Liabilities”). However, any liability for periods after Closing under any assigned lease for real property for a Subject Franchise shall not be an Excluded Liability. 8. Indemnification (a) Subject to the Sections below, Seller and the Guarantor agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify TJC against and hold TJC harmless from: (i) any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and cost of investigation (“Loss”) that TJC (or its directors, representatives, affiliates, employees, subsidiaries, and other related parties or individuals) may suffer or incur that is caused by, arises out of or relates to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty by Seller or Guarantor of this Agreement; (ii) any Loss that TJC may suffer or incur that is caused by, arises out of or relates to Seller’s or Guarantor’s breach of or failure to perform any of their covenants and obligations in this Agreement in any material respect; or (iii) any Loss that TJC may suffer or incur that is caused by, arises out of or relates to the assertion against TJC of an Excluded Liability. Claims asserted by TJC under subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above are hereinafter referred to as TJC’s “Indemnification Claim(s).” (b) The benefit of the indemnification obligations of Seller and the Guarantor under this Section shall extend to the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of TJC and its affiliates. 9. Indemnification of Seller and the Guarantor (a) Subject to the Sections herein, TJC agrees to indemnify Seller and the Guarantor against and hold each of them harmless from: (i) any Loss that Seller or the Guarantor may suffer or incur that is caused by, arises out of or relates to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty by TJC of this Agreement; (ii) any Loss that Seller or the Guarantor may suffer or incur that is caused by, arises out of or relates to TJC’s breach of or failure to perform any of its obligations in this Agreement in any material 151 respect; or (iii) any Loss that Seller or the Guarantor may suffer or incur that is caused by, arises out of or relates to TJC’s operation of the RDA after Closing.

Threshold and Cap (a) In respect of TJC’s assertion of an Indemnification Claim herein, TJC shall not be entitled to indemnification until the aggregate amount for which indemnification is sought exceeds $5,000.00. If this threshold is reached, TJC may assert an Indemnification Claim for the full amount of the claim (going back to the first dollar) and may assert any subsequent Indemnification Claim herein without regard to any threshold. Furthermore, no threshold or cap shall apply, however, in the case of any Loss caused by, arising out of or relating to any fraud or intentional misrepresentation. (b) In respect of Seller’s and/or a Guarantor’s assertion of an Indemnification Claim under these Sections, Seller and/or the Guarantor shall not be entitled to indemnification until the aggregate amount for which indemnification is sought collectively exceeds $5,000.00. The maximum aggregate amount for which Seller and/or the Guarantor may assert Indemnification Claims hereunder shall be the Purchase Price. No threshold shall apply, however, in the case of any Loss caused by, arising out of or relating to any fraud or intentional misrepresentation. 11. Survival (a) An Indemnification Claim herein may be asserted at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, with the exception that: (i) an Indemnification Claim in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties (“Taxes”) may be asserted at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation; and (ii) an Indemnification Claim in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties (“Authority”) may be asserted at any time without limit. (b) All other Indemnification Claims may be asserted at any time prior to ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation. 12. Notice of Indemnification Claim The indemnified party may assert an Indemnification Claim by giving written notice of the Indemnification Claim to the indemnifying party. The indemnified party’s notice shall provide reasonable detail of the facts giving rise to the Indemnification Claim and a statement of the indemnified party’s Loss or an estimate of the Loss that the indemnified party reasonably anticipates that it will suffer. The indemnified party may amend or supplement its Indemnification Claim at any time, and more than once, by written notice to the indemnifying party. 13. Resolution of Claims (a) If the indemnifying party does not object to an Indemnification Claim during the 30-day period 152 following receipt of the indemnified party’s notice of its Indemnification Claim, the indemnified party’s Indemnification Claim shall be considered undisputed, and the indemnified party shall be entitled to recover the actual amount of its indemnifiable loss from the indemnifying party, subject to the threshold, if any. (b) If the indemnifying party gives notice to the indemnified party within the 30-day objection period that the indemnifying party objects to the indemnified party’s Indemnification Claim, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall attempt in good faith to resolve their differences during the 30-day period following the indemnified party’s receipt of the indemnifying party’s notice of its objection. If they fail to resolve their disagreement during this 30-day period, either of them may unilaterally submit the disputed Indemnification Claim for non-binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Phoenix, Arizona in accordance with its rules for commercial arbitration in effect at the time, which shall be a condition precedent to seeking resolution of the disputed Indemnification Claim before any court of competent jurisdiction. The award of the arbitrator or panel of arbitrators may include attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party. The prevailing party may enforce the award of the arbitrator or panel of arbitrators in any court of competent jurisdiction. 14. Third Party Suits (a) Indemnified party shall promptly give notice to indemnifying party of any suit, demand, or claim by a third person against indemnified party, for which indemnified party is entitled to indemnification (a “Third Party Suit”), which may be given by notice of an Indemnification Claim in respect of the Third-Party Suit. Indemnified party’s failure or delay in giving this notice shall not relieve indemnifying party from its indemnification obligation under this Section in respect of the Third-Party Suit, except to the extent that indemnifying party suffers or incur a loss or is prejudiced by reason of indemnified party’s failure or delay. (b) Indemnified party shall control the defense of any Third-Party Suit. Indemnifying party shall be entitled to copies of all pleadings and, at its expense, may participate in, but not control, the defense and employ its own counsel. Indemnifying party shall in any event reasonably cooperate in the defense of the Third-Party Suit. (c) Indemnified party’s settlement of a Third-Party Suit shall also be binding on indemnifying party, in the same manner as if a final judgment in the amount of the settlement had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, if, as part of the settlement, indemnifying party receives a binding release providing that any liability of indemnifying party in respect of the Third-Party Suit is being satisfied as part of the settlement. Indemnified party shall give indemnifying party at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any proposed settlement, and during this thirty (30)-day period indemnifying party may reject the proposed settlement and instead assume the defense of the Third-Party Suit if: (i) the Third-Party Suit seeks only money damages and does not seek injunctive or other equitable relief against indemnified party; (ii) Indemnifying party unconditionally acknowledges in writing to indemnified party that indemnifying party is obligated to indemnify indemnified party in full in respect of the Third-Party Suit (except for any matters that are not subject to indemnification under this Agreement); (iii) the counsel chosen by indemnifying party to defend the Third-Party Suit is reasonably satisfactory to indemnified party; (iv) Indemnifying party furnishes indemnified party with security reasonably satisfactory to indemnified party to assure that indemnifying party have the financial resources to defend the Third-Party Suit and to satisfy their indemnification obligation in respect of the Third-Party Suit; (v) Indemnifying party actively and diligently defends the Third-Party Suit; and 153 (vi) Indemnifying party consults with indemnified party regarding the Third-Party Suit at indemnified party’s reasonable request. If indemnifying party assumes the defense of the Third-Party Suit, indemnified party shall be entitled to copies of all pleadings and, at its expense, may participate in, but not control, the defense and employ its own counsel. (d) Indemnifying party may settle a Third-Party Suit in which, indemnifying party controls the defense only if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the terms of settlement do not require any admission by indemnifying party or indemnified party, in respect of any matters subject to indemnification under this Agreement, that in indemnified party’s reasonable judgment would have an adverse effect on indemnified party; and (ii) as part of the settlement, indemnified party receives a binding release providing that any liability of indemnified party in respect of the Third-Party Suit is being satisfied as part of the settlement. (e) Indemnified party’s failure to defend a Third Party Suit shall not relieve indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations hereunder if indemnified party gives indemnifying party at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of indemnified party’s intention not to defend the Third Party Suit and affords indemnifying party the opportunity to assume the defense without having to satisfy the conditions in this Section for assuming the defense. 15. Confidentiality Seller and Guarantor acknowledge that both the existence of this Agreement and the provisions that it contains are confidential and each agrees that it or he will not directly or indirectly, by any means, disclose to any third party either the existence of this Agreement or the provisions that it contains without the prior written approval of TJC. Seller and Guarantor agree that if it or he violates this confidentiality obligation, then in addition to any other remedies that may be available to TJC, TJC shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order, and a preliminary and permanent injunction to prevent Seller’s or Guarantor’s continued violation, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security. 16. Non-Disparagement None of the Parties shall make any oral or written statement about any other party which is intended or reasonably likely to disparage the other party, or otherwise degrade the other party's reputation in the business or legal community or in the telecommunications industry. 17. Counterparts This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)), all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 18. Governing Law This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to conflicts-of-law principles or rules that would require this Agreement to be governed by the laws of a different state. 19. Dispute Resolution Seller and TJC shall attempt to settle any and all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement through good faith negotiation. If the matter is not resolved through good faith negotiation, such

154 disputes, controversies or claims may then be submitted to mediation. Any matter not being settled by negotiation or mediation, shall then proceed to binding arbitration. The Parties agree to use an established alternative dispute resolution organization based in Maricopa County, Arizona. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. 20. Binding Effect This Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
