Document has been involved as a debtor in proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code required to be disclosed in this
ITEM.
INITIAL FEES
Upon signing the Franchise Agreement, you must pay to us an Initial Franchise Fee of $25,000. The Initial
Franchise Fee for an LA Boxing Franchise is based on a designated location. You will be assigned a protected territory
based upon either population density or a 5-mile radius of the location of your LA Boxing Franchise. Your protected
territory will have a population base of approximately 100,000 people.
3
The purposes for which the Initial Franchise Fee will be used are to provide the initial site location assistance,
training and the other initial services provided by us to you, and for working capital. The Initial Franchise Fee is payable to
us in full upon signing of the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement. The Initial Franchise Fee is fully earned and non-
refundable upon signing the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement, except as provided below.
The Initial Franchise Fee must be refunded, without interest, to you if: (i) we do not accept you at its home office
within 30 days from the date you sign the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement; (ii) any Trainee required to attend Initial
Training fails to complete satisfactorily training as we determine, and we elect to terminate the LA Boxing Franchise
Agreement; or (iii) you fail to obtain an approved site for the LA Boxing Franchise within 6 months from the Agreement
Date and we elect to terminate the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement. In the case of (i) above, we must refund the entire
Initial Franchise Fee. In the case of (ii) or (iii) above, we are entitled to retain an amount from the Initial Franchise Fee
equal to our out-of-pocket costs and standard fees for training and other assistance provided to you (for example, site
selection and lease negotiation assistance) and the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement terminates. The Initial Franchise Fee
is uniform as to all Franchisees currently purchasing an LA Boxing Franchise.
OPENING INVENTORY
The typical for-sale items held in opening inventory are boxing gloves, protective gear, and LA Boxing wearing
apparel in the amount of $10,000.
TRAINING FEES
We will provide, at no extra charge to you, Initial Training and training materials for up to 5 Trainees. You must
pay for all expenses of the Trainees in attending Initial Training including all travel, lodging and meal expenses. You must
pay all expenses incurred to have your additional employees, independent contractors or agents attend Initial Training,
including reasonable training fees (currently $500 per day per person.). We will make available to you pre-opening, on-site
training by an opening supervisor. You must pay for all travel, meals and lodging costs for your attendees. Any training
fee paid is not refundable under any circumstance. See ITEM 11, TRAINING for additional information on training.
The following is a detailed description of other recurring or isolated fees or payments that you must pay to us or
that we impose or collect for a third party. All payments are non-refundable.
UNIFORMITY
The expenses in this ITEM are uniform for persons currently offered a Franchise.
All required monthly payments must be submitted to us by the 5th day of each month. All other amounts owed to
us are due as specified above. If no time is specified, these payments are due upon receipt of our invoice. At our option,
your payments to us must be effectuated by a Payment System by the use of pre-authorized transfers from your operating
account through the use of special checks or electronic funds transfer that we will process at the time any payment is due
including the Royalty Fee and the Advertising Contributions.
ADVERTISING COOPERATIVES
Advertising cooperatives have not been established at this time. Once formed, company-owned units will have
the same voting power as franchise units.
The following is our best estimate of your initial investment to open 1 LA Boxing Franchise. The estimate
presented covers the period before the opening of your LA Boxing Franchise and for the initial phase of your LA Boxing
Franchise estimated to be 3 months. Our estimates do not provide for your cash requirements to cover operating losses
after the initial phase or personal living expenses. You must have additional sums available, whether in cash or through
unsecured credit lines, or have other assets that you can liquidate, or that you can borrow against, to cover your personal
living expenses and any operating losses after the initial phase of your LA Boxing Franchise. We urge you to retain the
services of an experienced accountant or financial advisor in order to develop a business plan and financial projections for
your LA Boxing Franchise.
Your actual investment will vary depending upon local conditions peculiar to your geographic area or market, for
example, real estate demand, availability and occupancy rates. Additional variables that will impact your initial
investment are: size of your facility; age of the structure; length of your lease or other instrument granting you the right of
occupancy to the Premises; if your space is to be built out by the developer with no initial out-of-pocket cost to you; lease
arrangements; location in the market; costs of demolishing existing leasehold improvements; construction costs; other
6
variable expenses and whether you currently hold a lease of an acceptable location. We do not expect you to purchase real
estate or construct the building containing your LA Boxing Franchise.
The following chart contains a summary of your initial investment. Unless otherwise indicated, payments are
generally not refundable.

1 Initial Franchise Fee
See ITEM 5 INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE for a description of the Initial Franchise Fee.
2 Misc. Supplies
The supplies include housekeeping, janitorial disinfectants and other miscellaneous supplies.
The cost is $500.
3 Inventory
The inventory does not fluctuate as a function of seasonal sales. The typical for-sale items held
in opening inventory are boxing gloves, protective gear, and LA Boxing wearing apparel in the amount
of $10,000.
4 Insurance
As discussed in ITEM 8 and Section 9.1 of the Franchise Agreement, you must carry certain
specified insurance. The method and timing of payments is a matter to be resolved between you and
your insurer. Because the selection of the carrier, size of the Premises, location of the Premises, value of
the leasehold improvements, amount of inventory, amount of wages and other related conditions will
vary, it is difficult to estimate the ultimate cost to you. Therefore, we can only estimate the total cost
with the caution that you should obtain quotes from carriers of choice before proceeding. Our best
7
estimate is approximately $4,200 to $6,000 per year, paid at the rate of $350 to $500 per month, for
insurance coverage.
5 Graphics
We will specify the signs and graphics and only those we approve will be used. Signs and
graphics will be maintained in a condition acceptable to us at all times. You, at your own expense, must
prepare, construct and erect the signs and graphics in accordance with approval from governmental
authority and the landlord. The costs of fabricating and installing approved signs and graphics can vary
depending upon local market conditions but are estimated to cost approximately $12,000. These costs
are paid to suppliers, when incurred, before beginning business and are usually not refundable.
6 Office Equipment
Office equipment consists of a PC computer and printer and Point of Sale system
amounting to $3,500. You can expect initial cash outlays to be lower if the items can be leased rather
than purchased. These costs are paid to suppliers, when incurred, before beginning business and are
usually not refundable.
7 Rent
We expect that you will lease rather than own real estate and construct a building. Lease costs
will vary based upon variances in: (i) size in square feet to be leased; (ii) cost per square foot; and (iii)
common area maintenance costs. These variances are determined by location, the length of the lease,
the age of the leased property, local market conditions, the size of the Premises and the bargaining
power of the developer or property management company. We assume that the landlord will require
first and last months' rent and a security deposit equal to one months' rent. We estimate this will be
$18,000 to $20,000.
8 Grand Opening
We feel strongly that a you should enter the market in an aggressive way to minimize early
lack of awareness of the LA Boxing Franchise among large numbers of potential customers in the
Exclusive Territory. Grand opening promotional activities vary greatly based upon the nature of the
events you elect and the local rates for services selected, for example, printing and advertising. We
believe that $7,500 is sufficient to create awareness using a multi-media advertising program.
9a and 9b Leasehold Improvements and Architects Fee
The cost of leasehold improvements for your LA Boxing Franchise
will vary as a function of size, condition and location of the Premises, price differences among
contractors, local wage rates and material costs, other local conditions and the nature of your leasehold
improvements. The previous tenant or landlord may have installed leasehold improvements that are
very compatible, thereby reducing costs. We estimate that leasehold improvements vary from $19,000
to $24,000. All leasehold improvements are directly related to conforming the Premises to our current
standards for layout, traffic flow and other specifications. Also, included in the total amount is the cost
of wall mirrors estimated to cost you $5,000. Architectural services are estimated to cost you an
additional $5,000. These costs are paid to suppliers, when incurred, before beginning business and are
usually not refundable.
10 a, 10b and 10c Equipment
You must purchase certain equipment including boxing ring, heavy punching bags,
bag cage, retail counters and speed bags. Our estimate is $32,000 paid in lump sum. Leased
Equipment includes cardio and strength machines and free weights costing $50,000 that can be leased
for $1,800 to $2,500/mo. Web based camera system cost is $11,200 and can be leased for $350 to $400
per month. These costs are paid to suppliers, when incurred, before beginning business and are usually
not refundable.
11 Utilities
You must incur certain deposits with local utilities, for example, electric, telephone, gas, water,
etc. These will vary depending on the policies of the local utilities but are estimated to be $750.
12 Licenses
Local, municipal, county and state regulations vary on what licenses and permits are required to
operate a LA Boxing Franchise. Classification of various types of fitness centers by local governments
can cause the cost of licenses to vary. The total cost is approximately $2,000 to $3,000. These fees are
paid to governmental authorities, when incurred, before beginning business and are usually not
refundable.
13 Legal
While you must sign the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement individually, you may decide to hold
the franchise interest in a corporation or other entity and will transfer the LA Boxing Franchise
Agreement to a corporation or other entity formed before beginning operations. Regardless of the
ownership of the LA Boxing Franchise, you must comply with the fictitious, assumed, or trade name
statutes of the state in which the LA Boxing Franchise will be located. We estimate that the attorneys'
fees, publication fees, filing fees and other costs will total $1,500 to $2,000 for incorporation,
compliance with your state's fictitious or assumed name statute and review of this Franchise Disclosure
Document, depending on the scope of legal services rendered. These fees may vary from state to state
depending on each state's laws and the prevailing rate of attorneys' fees. These costs are paid to
attorneys, newspapers and governmental agencies, are not refundable and usually incurred before
8
beginning business.
14 TL&M
You must pay for all out-of-pocket expenses, workers' compensation insurance and all employee
compensation along with federal and state taxes for the Trainees. We assume no responsibility for your
human resource-related liabilities or costs during Initial Training. You must bring no fewer than 3
people (owner, instructor and salesperson), of whom at least one must be the operating partner. The
typical costs of training that you must bear are the transportation, lodging, compensation and meals. The
estimate is for items that are non-discretionary in nature. Generally these costs will vary widely as a
function of the distance traveled, accommodations selected, restaurants selected, the distance between
the hotel and the training center and the transportation selected. Using different lifestyles, distances and
compensation assumptions, the estimates are from $3,500 to $5,000.
15 Working Capital
You must have adequate working capital before beginning operation of a LA Boxing
Franchise. Working capital should be sufficient to keep the LA Boxing Franchise in operation for 3
months and capable of covering the excess of expenses over cash flow from the gym covering
independent contractor fees, employee salaries and taxes, inventory replenishment, insurance premiums,
rent, utilities and other normal expenses that are associated with the day-to-day business operation of
the Franchise. You must be able to meet operating expenses from pre-opening, including hiring and
training expenses, until the LA Boxing Franchise develops sufficient cash flow to cover all costs. The
estimate for working capital is $35,000. This figure does not include any payments to you during the
start-up period. You must have sufficient personal resources to cover your living expenses during this
period. In the area of working capital, you must fill out a personal/family cash flow budget and
determine if there is sufficient revenue on the personal level to provide for your family through the start-
up period. Clearly, working capital requirements will be a function of your decisions regarding nearly
every aspect of your LA Boxing Franchise, for example, how many independent contractors you engage,
the size of the payroll, rent, utilities, size of the operation and many other expenses that you decide to
incur. We do not guarantee that you will not have greater start-up expenses than these estimates,
or that you will not need more operating funds than these estimates. We do not imply or
guarantee that you will “break even” by any particular time.
16 Miscellaneous
Although the estimated start-up expenses are our best estimate, it is possible that you will
exceed these figures and it would be advisable to have additional working capital available. You must
have an additional $3,000 in reserve cash.
We relied on our management staff’s 16 years of experience as owners and operators of seven 7 boxing and
fitness gyms in Southern California and Georgia, utilizing the LA Boxing name and trademark, to compile these estimates.
You must review these figures carefully with a business advisor before making any decisions to purchase an LA Boxing
Franchise.
FINANCING
As described in ITEM 10, neither we nor our agents offer any financing arrangements to you.
You must purchase or lease the following goods, services, supplies, equipment or inventory for the establishment
of your LA Boxing Franchise from us or from suppliers approved by us or under our specifications.
LA BOXING PRODUCTS
We have developed certain LA Boxing Products for use in the System. You must purchase from us or from an
approved source we designate and license, all of your supplies of the LA Boxing Products, all in accordance with our
requirements then in effect. All LA Boxing Products sold by or through us to you must be sold under the terms we or the
manufacturer of the LA Boxing Products states in writing. EXCEPT AS WE STATE IN WRITING AND SIGN, WE
DO NOT MAKE ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THESE PRIVATE LABEL PRODUCTS,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
9
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. OUR EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY WARRANTIES EXTENDED AS
PROVIDED IN THE LA BOXING FRANCHISE AGREEMENT IS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT OUR
OPTION, ANY OF THE PRIVATE LABEL PRODUCTS WE SOLD TO YOU THAT ARE NOT IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THIS WARRANTY, IF ANY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL OUR LIABILITY
EXCEED THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE YOU PAID FOR ANY PRIVATE LABEL
PRODUCTS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS WARRANTY, IF ANY, WHICH MAY BE EXTENDED AS
PROVIDED IN THE LA BOXING FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY
PARTY, INCLUDING YOU AND YOUR CUSTOMERS, FOR ANY TORT DAMAGES OR INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, GENERAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR
ANTICIPATED PROFITS AND LOSS OF GOOD WILL, FROM THE USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE
PRIVATE LABEL PRODUCTS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
The cost of inventory and equipment purchased in accordance with our specifications will represent
approximately 50% of your total purchases in connection with the establishment of your business, and less than 5% of your
total purchases in the operation of your business.
OTHER ITEMS
You must also purchase a boxing ring with professional size and structure specifications, boxing equipment
infrastructure to accommodate heavy-bag installations, and service providers to properly install all purchased equipment
from us.
To help retain the uniform and high standards necessary to retain and enhance the good will of the System and
your acceptance in your market, we provide specifications and/or required suppliers for the purchase or lease of certain
items. Specifications may include standards for enhancing the System's image and minimum standards for safety,
appearance and other factors. We design and modify specifications based upon the uniform and high standards necessary to
retain and enhance the good will of the System. Specifications are issued to you in the Manuals or otherwise in writing.
The categories for these purchases or leases are as follows:
We will loan to you a sample set of our standard recommended floor plan for you to conform to the Premises.
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
We will loan to you specifications of our requirements for design, decoration, layout, equipment, furniture,
fixtures and signs for your LA Boxing Franchise. These items may be purchased from any approved supplier.
We will loan to you specifications for LA Boxing uniforms for your employees that you must purchase directly
from our approved suppliers.
INSURANCE
You must obtain and maintain insurance, at your expense, as we require, in addition to any other insurance that
must be required by applicable law, your landlord, lender or otherwise. The policies must be written by an insurance
company reasonably satisfactory to us with a Best rating of "B" or better, and include the risks, amount of coverage and
deductibles as stated in the Manuals and Section 9.1 of the Franchise Agreement.
The cost of insurance purchased in accordance with our specifications will represent approximately 2% of your
total purchases in connection with the establishment of your business, and 2% of your total purchases in the operation of
your business. These percentages do not include worker’s compensation insurance that will vary with the payroll amount
and category of employees.
ADVERTISING
You must submit to us, for our approval, all materials to be used for Local Advertising, unless they have been
approved before or they consist only of materials we have provided. All materials containing Proprietary Marks must
10
comply with the specifications stated in the Manual and in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Franchise Agreement.
You must purchase or lease equipment, supplies, inventory, advertising materials, construction services and other
products and services used for the operation of your LA Boxing Franchise only from authorized manufacturers, contractors
and other suppliers who demonstrate, to our continuing reasonable satisfaction: (i) the ability to meet our reasonable
standards and specifications for the items; (ii) possess adequate quality controls and capacity to supply your needs
promptly and reliably; and (iii) have been approved in writing by us and not later disapproved. We may approve a single
supplier for any brand and may approve a supplier only as to certain brand or brands. In approving suppliers for the
System, we may take into consideration the price and quality of the products or services and the reliability of the supplier
and other factors. We may concentrate purchases with one or more suppliers to obtain the lowest prices and/or the best
advertising support and/or services for any group of LA Boxing Franchisees or Company Units within the Chain.
Approval of a supplier may be conditioned on requirements for the frequency of delivery, standards of service, including
prompt attention to complaints, and concentration of purchases, as stated above, and may be temporary, pending our
additional evaluation of the supplier. If we later disapprove a supplier, we will notify you in writing of the disapproval.
You must cease purchasing from that supplier within a reasonable time after your receipt of our notice of disapproval.
We provide material benefits to you based on your use of designated or approved sources through negotiated
purchase arrangements with suppliers for your benefit and the benefit of the other franchisees.
Of your total purchases and leases that must conform to our specifications, we estimate that 50% will be
purchased from us, in connection with the establishment of your franchised business. Of your total purchases and leases
that must conform to our specifications, we estimate that 10% will be purchased from us.
APPROVAL OF NEW SUPPLIERS
If you propose to purchase or lease any equipment, supplies, inventory, advertising materials, construction
services or other products or services from an unapproved supplier, you must submit to us a written request for approval, or
request the supplier to do so itself. We have the right to require, as a condition of its approval that our representatives be
permitted to inspect the supplier's facilities, and that samples from the supplier be delivered, at our option, either to us or to
an independent, certified laboratory we designate for testing. We will not be liable for damage to any sample that may
result from the testing process. You must pay a charge not to exceed the reasonable cost of the inspection and the actual
cost of the testing. You must also, as a condition to its approval, that the supplier present satisfactory evidence of
insurance, for example, product liability insurance, protecting us and you from all claims from the use of the item within
the System. We will give approval or disapproval in writing and delivered to you by regular mail within 10 days after all
testing and the above conditions have been completed. We reserve the right, at our option, to reinspect the facilities and
products of any approved supplier and continue to sample the products at the supplier's expense and to revoke approval
upon the supplier's failure to continue to meet our standards and specifications. You will receive notification of approval or
disapproval of a supplier within 7 days after we have investigated and inspected the supplier. Our criteria for supplier
approval are available to you.
Neither we, nor any of our affiliates receive payments, rebates or other consideration from approved suppliers.
We reserve the right to be compensated by a supplier for creating or maintaining a relationship or arrangement with
approved or recommended suppliers in the future.
There are currently no purchasing or distribution cooperatives that you must join or in which you may participate.
We do not discriminate among our Franchisees based upon a particular Franchisee's use of an approved supplier.

provide you through us or our Designee with the following assistance and services as long as you are not in default under
your LA Boxing Franchise Agreement:
(a) Site Selection Assistance. We must approve the proposed site for your Premises in writing before
beginning any construction of improvements. We will supply to you our site selection criteria. We will also provide an on-
site evaluation in response to your request for site selection assistance and approval. However, we will not provide on-site
evaluation for any proposed site before receipt of the materials required in the Manuals. We will not unreasonably
withhold approval of any site that meets our standards for demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking, the
predominant character of the neighborhood, competition from other businesses providing similar services within the area,
the proximity to other businesses, the nature of other businesses in proximity to the site and other commercial
characteristics, the size, appearance and other physical characteristics of the site, and any other factors that we consider
relevant in approving or disapproving a site. We will review site approval submissions on a first-in basis. If we do not
approve the selected site, you have 30 days to submit a new site within the Reserved Area for our written approval. WE
DO NOT REPRESENT THAT WE HAVE ANY SPECIAL EXPERTISE IN SELECTING SITES. OUR
APPROVAL OF A SITE IS NOT A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE LA BOXING
FRANCHISE WILL BE PROFITABLE OR THAT YOUR SALES WILL ATTAIN ANY PREDETERMINED
LEVELS. APPROVAL IS INTENDED ONLY TO INDICATE THAT THE PROPOSED SITE MEETS OUR
MINIMUM CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING SITES. OUR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF A
PROPOSED SITE DOES NOT IMPOSE ANY LIABILITY ON US. (Section 2.1 of the Franchise Agreement).

OR WARRANTY THAT THE LA BOXING FRANCHISE WILL BE PROFITABLE OR THAT YOUR SALES

secrets. The Manuals must, at all times, be kept in a secure area within the Premises. You must strictly limit access to the
Confidential Information to your employees, to the extent they have a "need to know" in order to perform their jobs. You
must report the theft, loss or destruction of the Manuals, or any portion of the Manuals, immediately to us. Upon the theft,
loss or destruction of any Manuals, we will loan you a replacement copy at a fee of $250 for each Manual. A partial loss or
failure to update any Manual is considered a complete loss. You must not at any time, without our written consent, copy,

ADVERTISING PROGRAMS
LOCAL ADVERTISING
You must spend during each month during the Term, beginning on the Opening Date, at least $5,000 per month
for Local Advertising. [Subsection 7.1(a) of the Franchise Agreement.]
Any Web Site is deemed Local Advertising under the Franchise Agreement and is subject to, among other things,
our prior written consent. Before establishing a Web Site, you must submit to us a sample of the Web Site format and
information in the form and manner that we reasonably require. In addition to any other applicable requirements, you must
comply with our standards and specifications for Web Sites as set forth in the Manuals. You must establish your Web Site
as part of any Web Site that we establish and/or establish electronic links to any Web Site we establish. If you propose any
material revision to your Web Site or any information contained in your Web Site, you must submit each revision to us for
our prior written approval. (Section 7.3 of the Franchise Agreement.)
We have the right, in our discretion, to establish a regional advertising cooperative in any Territory. You must
immediately upon our request become a member of the Cooperative for the Territory where some or all of your Exclusive
Territory is located. Your LA Boxing Franchise will not be required to be a member of more than one Cooperative. You
15
must contribute to the Cooperative the amount the Cooperative determines and that amount will be credited against your
obligation for Local Advertising; provided, however, you will not be required to contribute to any Cooperative in excess of
2% of your monthly Gross Revenues. We will determine who is responsible for the administration of each Cooperative.
Cooperatives are not required to but are expected to operate from written documents. Upon the establishment of your
Cooperative, you will be provided a copy of any written document governing the Cooperative. The Cooperative will
determine whether and when financial statements of the Cooperatives' activities will be prepared; however, we have the
right to inspect the financial records of any Cooperative. We also have the right to change, dissolve or merge any
Cooperatives. Each Cooperative will render quarterly reports to us of its advertising expenditures. We do not receive any
portion of the contributions to the Cooperative. (Section 7.2 of the Franchise Agreement.)
(a) If we institute an Advertising Contribution requirement, we will create a special fund called the "LA
Boxing Marketing Fund" (the "Marketing Fund"), into which the Advertising Contributions are deposited, and is for the
benefit of all Franchise Units and Company Units who contribute to the Marketing Fund.
(b) The Marketing Fund will be administered by the Marketing Fund Committee (the “MFC”). You and
the other Franchisees will elect or appoint 2 members and we will appoint 2 members to the MFC to serve for a one-year
term corresponding to the calendar year. The 4-member MFC will by a majority vote determine the selection and
placement of national and regional advertising. Each MFC member has one vote. If the MFC is deadlocked, our President
will decide. The Marketing Fund is maintained and operated by the MFC as a fiduciary to you and used to meet the costs
of conducting regional and/or national advertising and promotional activities on a regional or national scale (including the
cost of advertising campaigns, test marketing, marketing surveys, public relations activities and marketing materials) we
deem beneficial to the System. We are authorized to charge the Marketing Fund fees at reasonable market rates for
advertising, marketing or promotional services actually provided by us, in lieu of engaging third party agencies to provide
these services.
(c) All expenditures are at the sole discretion of the MFC. The MFC may spend in any calendar year more
or less than the total Advertising Contributions to the Marketing Fund in that year. The MFC may borrow from us or other
lenders on behalf of the Marketing Fund to cover deficits of the Marketing Fund or cause the Marketing Fund to invest any
surplus for future use by the Marketing Fund.
(d) You must authorize us to act as your sole agent to enter into contracts with parties offering promotion,
discount or other programs whereby you would receive rebates or marketing allowances ("Rebates")
from handling items offered for sale by the parties. All Rebates will be paid to us and we will
contribute them to the Marketing Fund. You must assign all of your right, title and interest in all
Rebates to us, and authorize us to furnish any proof of purchase evidence as may be required in
accordance with the contracts. All rebates received by us from our Company-units will also be
contributed to the Marketing Fund.
(e) The MFC will retain our independent certified public accountants to prepare an annual audit of the
Marketing Fund, at the expense of the Marketing Fund, and send a copy of the audit report to you and all other Franchisees
within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year.
If we institute an Advertising Contribution, you must pay a continuing monthly Advertising Contribution of 2%
of monthly Gross Revenues. [Subsection 3.1(c) of the Franchise Agreement.]. Except as expressly provided in ARTICLE
7 of your Franchise Agreement, we assume no other direct or indirect liability or obligation to you for the maintenance,
direction or administration of the Marketing Fund.
We maintain the right to both initiate and terminate the collection and disbursement of the Advertising
Contributions and the Marketing Fund. Upon any termination, we will disburse the remaining funds for the purposes
authorized under your Franchise Agreement. (Section 7.7 of the Franchise Agreement.)
The advertising funded by the Marketing Fund is generally placed, based on the decisions of the MFC, in
national markets and generally involves television, radio, periodicals and newspapers. Most marketing materials will be
prepared by a national or regional advertising agency.
The MFC is not required to spend any of your contributions to the Marketing Fund in your Protected Territory.
[Subsection 7.6(b) of the Franchise Agreement.]
16
MISCELLANEOUS
Company Units are required to contribute to the Marketing Fund and any Cooperative on the same basis as you.
(Section 7.8 of the Franchise Agreement.]
We do not receive payment for providing goods or services to the Marketing Fund and Regional Cooperative
Advertising Funds.
Any monies not spent by either the Marketing Fund or any Regional Cooperative Advertising Fund in any
particular year are carried over to fund advertising expenses in the next year.
There may be additional advertising requirements contained in your Premises lease. The extent of these
advertising requirements may be subject to negotiation; consequently, the extent of any advertising obligation, if any, may
be unknown to us.
See ITEMS 6, 8 and 9 for additional information on the LA Boxing advertising programs.
COMPUTER SYSTEMS
(a) Before the Opening Date you must procure and install at your LA Boxing Franchise a personal
computer.
(b) The Computer System consists of the following hardware or compatible equivalent components:
• Microsoft Windows
• Microsoft Office
• QuickBooks
• Internet Service Provider software
• Business e-mail account
(d) You must install and maintain, at your own expense, an E-mail link with us and all other LA Boxing
Franchisees. Reasonable minimum hardware and software standards for these connections will be set by us and may be
periodically revised, and you will have reasonable time to upgrade when standards change. Standards will include current
uniform communications software in use by the System; word processing and spreadsheet software that is either the same
as that in use at our office or capable of reading and converting files created by our office; and a computer capable of
running the software and containing reasonable minimums for memory and data storage and a modem connected via
network links to our System. You must pay for all normal communications charges from the networks making connection
to our System, for example, phone bills or bills from an on-line service. Information important to the Chain will be sent to
your computer address electronically. In order to stay informed on developments affecting the System and your LA Boxing
Franchise, you must check your electronic mailbox for system communications on a regular basis.
(e) As new computer systems are designed to accommodate a certain maximum amount of data and
terminals, and that, as limits are achieved, and/or as technology and/or software is developed in the future, you must add
memory, ports and other accessories and/or peripheral equipment and/or additional, new or substitute software to the
original computer system you purchased. At a certain point in time it will become necessary for you to replace or upgrade
the entire computer system with a larger system capable of assuming and discharging all of those computer-related tasks
and functions as we specify. Computer designs and functions change periodically and we may be required to make
17
substantial modifications to our computer specifications, or to require installation of entirely different systems, during the
Term. To ensure full operational efficiency and communication capability between our computers and your computers, you
must keep the computer system in good maintenance and repair and to install all additions, changes, modifications,
substitutions and/or replacements to your computer hardware, software, telephone and power lines and other computer-
related facilities as we direct on those dates and within those times we specify, in our sole discretion, in the Manuals or
otherwise on a System-wide basis subject to the Capital Expenditure Limitation in Section 4.21. Upon termination or

OPERATIONS MANUAL
After you have signed your LA Boxing Franchise Agreement and shortly before Initial Training we will
loan you a copy of our LA Boxing Manuals. Our Manuals contain proprietary information and you must keep this
information confidential as described in ITEM 14. The current Operations Manual, as of April 1, 2004 is divided into the
following subjects:

Table of Contents
B PROCESSING………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….55
You must select the site. If a site for your LA Boxing Franchise has not been selected on the Agreement Date,
you must complete the acquisition or lease arrangements for your Premises located in the Reserved Area, at your expense
within 30 days after the Agreement Date, after obtaining our written approval under Section 2.1. If a site has not been
approved within 3 months of the Agreement Date, we may terminate this Agreement and refund the Initial Franchise Fee to
you without interest, less our out-of-pocket costs and our standard fees and expenses for the assistance we have provided
under this Agreement including site location assistance, and our fees for any training (currently, $500 per person per day).
We must approve any lease of the Premises. You must deliver a copy of the proposed lease to us at least 15 days before it
is to be signed by you. (Section 4.1 of the Franchise Agreement].
We will supply to you our site selection criteria. We will not unreasonably withhold approval of any site that
meets our standards for demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking, the predominant character of the
neighborhood, competition from other businesses providing similar services within the area, the proximity to other
businesses, the nature of other businesses in proximity to the site and other commercial characteristics, the size, appearance
and other physical characteristics of the site, and any other factors that we consider relevant in approving or disapproving a
site. We will review site approval submissions on a first-received basis. If we do not approve the selected site, you have
30 days to submit a new site within the Reserved Area for our written approval. WE DO NOT REPRESENT THAT
WE HAVE ANY SPECIAL EXPERTISE IN SELECTING SITES. OUR APPROVAL OF A SITE IS NOT A
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE LA BOXING FRANCHISE WILL BE PROFITABLE OR
THAT YOUR SALES WILL ATTAIN ANY PREDETERMINED LEVELS. APPROVAL IS INTENDED ONLY
TO INDICATE THAT THE PROPOSED SITE MEETS OUR MINIMUM CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING
SITES. OUR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF A PROPOSED SITE DOES NOT IMPOSE ANY
LIABILITY ON US. (Section 2.1 of the Franchise Agreement.)
TIME BETWEEN SIGNING OF FRANCHISE AGREEMENT [FIRST PAYMENT TO LA BOXING] AND THE OPENING OF THE LA BOXING
FRANCHISE
The typical length of time between the signing of the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement and the opening of the LA
Boxing Franchise can vary from 2 to 4 months. The factors that affect this time frame usually include: the time needed to
acquire a site for your LA Boxing Franchise (depends in part on selecting a satisfactory site, arranging financing, local
18
ordinance compliance issues, hiring employees, and other operational issues, etc.) and the time when you receive and
complete satisfactorily Initial Training.
TRAINING PROGRAM
We will provide you with 3 Business Days of Initial Training for up to 5 Trainees at our training facilities in Santa Ana,
California. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, at least 1 Trainee must be the Franchise Owner. If you will not be active
in the day-to-day activities of your LA Boxing Franchise, you may designate another person as your Manager who will be
active in the day-to-day activities of your LA Boxing Franchise to be another Trainee. We must approve all Trainees.
Initial Training includes instruction in owner-operator responsibilities, instructor training, equipment, membership sales,
administration, operations, product sales and marketing, and franchisor relations. Training programs may differ in content
and length for Franchise Owners or employees depending upon their responsibilities at the LA Boxing Franchise. We will
provide, at our expense, (as Initial Training is included in the Initial Franchise Fee), instructors, facilities, equipment,
training materials, manuals and technical training tools for Initial Training. You must pay for all expenses of the Trainees
in attending Initial Training including all travel, lodging and meal expenses. You must pay all expenses incurred to have
your additional employees or agents attend Initial Training, including reasonable training fees (currently $500 per day per
person.) [Subsection 2.7(a) of the Franchise Agreement.]
There is no additional fee involved for Initial Training. However, you must pay for you and your employees'
travel, food and lodging expenses. Training classes are held every 8 weeks.
Initial Training will occur 2 to 4 weeks after the Franchise Agreement is signed or 2 to 4 weeks before the
opening of your LA Boxing Franchise.

FAILURE TO COMPLETE INITIAL TRAINING
If any Trainee fails to satisfactorily complete Initial Training, as reasonably determined by us, we may: (i) at your
expense and direction, retrain the Trainee or train another Trainee; or (ii) elect to terminate this Agreement and refund the
Initial Franchise Fee and other fees collected under this Agreement to you without interest, less our out-of-pocket costs and
our standard fees for the training provided (currently $500 per day per person). [Subsection 2.7(b) of the Franchise
Agreement.]
We will make available to you pre-opening, on-site training for a Business Day by our Opening Supervisor, in
most instances to be conducted at your LA Boxing Franchise shortly before the Opening Date. The on-site training
program involves a review of required equipment, systems and operations. The Opening Supervisor will also observe
boxing and fitness training classes and oversee the operation. We will pay the expenses of the Opening Supervisor.
(Section 2.10 of the Franchise Agreement.)
We may provide refresher training programs, seminars, or advanced management training for you and your
employees at our principal training facility in Santa Ana, California, and must be attended by you or your Manager.
Training is not required more often than once a year. However, if you receive an unsatisfactory inspection report from us
and fail to promptly remedy the deficiencies, your Manager and designated employees must attend refresher training as
soon as reasonably possible. You must pay for all expenses associated with these programs including the then prevailing
standard training fee we charge for these programs and all travel, meals and lodging costs of your attendees. [Subsection
2.11(i) of the Franchise Agreement.]
If we have permitted the Manager to be an individual other than you, and the Manager fails to satisfy his or her
obligations under Subsection 4.9(b) of the Franchise Agreement due to death, disability, termination of employment or for
any other reason, you must satisfy these obligations until you designate a new Manager of your LA Boxing Franchise
acceptable to us who has successfully completed Initial Training. You must pay for the expenses associated with Initial
Training, including the then prevailing standard training fee we charge for Initial Training (currently $500 per day per
person). [Subsection 4.9(c) of the Franchise Agreement.]
EXPERIENCE OF INSTRUCTOR
Mr. Anthony Geisler, our President, is responsible for all aspects of training. The Initial Training program will be
conducted by members of the training staff who have significant work experience in the boxing and fitness business,
physical education coaching, and professional boxing experience ranging from 3 to 12 years in businesses of the type we
are offering you. See ITEM 2 for Mr. Geisler’s and other staff biographies and training experience.
ITEM 12 - TERRITORY
EXCLUSIVE TERRITORY
Your Exclusive Territory is defined in Sections 1.3 and 19.1 of the Franchise Agreement and further
delineated in Exhibit A. The written boundaries of your Territory will be defined by an approximate 5-mile radius
from the location described on the cover page or, if none is stated, the Premises will be designated by you and
approved by us and delineated in Exhibit A. During the Term, if you are not in default, we agree not to open a
Company-Owned Unit or franchise another LA Boxing Franchise within your Exclusive Territory. You will be
assigned a protected territory based upon either a population base of approximately 100,000 population density, or
a 5-mile radius from the location described in Exhibit A of the Franchise Agreement. However, we reserve for
ourselves the rights stated in Section 5.7, which are superior to your rights under this Agreement, and the right to
sole determination as to the location, size and delineation of your Territory.
22
Subject to the above, we may open and operate Company Units and grant LA Boxing Franchises to other LA
Boxing Franchisees or engage any other method of distribution, in our complete discretion, wherever we determine,
including in close proximity to the Premises, and regardless of whether the additional unit or units have an adverse impact
on your Franchise Business.
You must operate your LA Boxing Franchise only at the location within your Exclusive Territory described on the
cover page, or, if none is stated, the Premises must be designated by you and approved by us and set forth in Exhibit A,
after you select a site in accordance with Section 4.1. The location cannot be changed without our prior written consent
and compliance with our relocation procedures. You must not solicit business outside your Exclusive Territory through the
use of an 800 number, catalog, direct mail, Internet Web Site or other advertising or solicitation method without our prior
written consent.
The license of the Intellectual Property granted to you has limited exclusivity and that, in addition to our right to
use and grant others the right to use the Intellectual Property inside and outside the Exclusive Territory, all rights not
expressly granted in this Agreement to you, concerning the Intellectual Property or other matters, are expressly reserved for
us, including the right to sell LA Boxing Products and services authorized for the LA Boxing Franchise using our
trademarks through dissimilar channels of distribution including National Accounts and under any terms that LA Boxing
deems appropriate within or outside the Exclusive Territory, without offering or providing you the right to participate.
If we acquire a Competitive Business and units of the Competitive Business encroach upon your Exclusive
Territory, we will have 1 year from the date of acquisition of the Competitive Business to sell or consolidate the
encroaching units without being in default under this Agreement.
We will not compensate you for any sales made within your Exclusive Territory.
We do not have any present intentions to sell similar products and services using either the Proprietary Marks or
other trademarks through dissimilar channels of distribution or through a different franchised system.
The grant of your LA Boxing Franchise is expressly conditioned upon your successful penetration of the market in
the Exclusive Territory. You must promote actively and aggressively the products and services of your LA Boxing
Franchise within the Exclusive Territory. You must maintain minimum Gross Revenues every calendar year during the
Term of at least 80% of the "designated average" of Gross Revenues of all franchisees within the System, including you,
except during the first calendar year (partial or full) of the Term, when no performance standard is in effect. The
"designated average" is the average Gross Revenues of all Franchisees within the System during each calendar year of the
Term, without taking into consideration those franchisees that are in the top and bottom 20th percentile of Gross Revenues
during this period. Your failure to maintain the minimum performance standard is a material breach of this Agreement.
THIS MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD IS NOT A FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
REPRESENTATION (SEE ITEM 19) AND DOES NOT INFER THAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE GROSS
REVENUES OF ANY PARTICULAR LEVEL.
ITEM 13 - TRADEMARKS
Sections 2.12 and 5.2 of the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement grant to you the right to use the Proprietary
Property we designate only in the manner we authorize and permit and only for the operation of your LA Boxing Franchise.
We derive our right to use and to license others to use the trademark “LA Boxing” from a trademark assignment
agreement with LA Boxing Aliso Viejo, Inc. dated March 29, 2004. The following trademarks are registered on the
principal register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”):
23
The Franchise Agreement grants you the right to operate your business under the name LA Boxing and under any
other proprietary marks currently used or that we may use in the future in the operation of your LA Boxing Franchise.
LA Boxing has used the Proprietary Marks and has acquired common law rights in the Proprietary Marks as a
result of this use.
PROCEEDINGS
There are no currently effective material determinations of the USPTO, Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the
Trademark Administrator of any state or any court. There are no currently pending infringement, opposition or cancellation
proceedings. There is no currently pending material litigation involving the Proprietary Marks. There are no decided
infringement, cancellation or opposition proceedings where we unsuccessfully fought to prevent registration of a trademark
in order to protect the Proprietary Marks we sublicense.
AGREEMENTS
There are no other agreements currently in effect that limit our rights to use or license the use to you of the
Proprietary Mark and other Proprietary Property in any manner material to you.
INFRINGING USES
There are no infringing uses or superior prior rights actually known to us that could materially affect your use of
the Proprietary Mark. However, our registration of the Proprietary Mark does not prohibit others from using the
Proprietary Mark or confusingly similar variations of the Proprietary Mark who may have established prior rights to the
use of the Proprietary Mark, or confusingly similar variations of the Proprietary Mark, in the territories where neither we
nor our Franchisees have operated or advertised under the Proprietary Mark and that are not within the natural zone of
expansion for future Franchised or Company Units, provided others do so in good faith and without actual knowledge of
our existence or our Franchisees' use of the Proprietary Mark. We would therefore be unable to prohibit the use of the
Proprietary Mark by others who had prior use of the Proprietary Mark or confusingly similar variations of the Proprietary
Mark at the time we first used them. If others establish prior rights to the Proprietary Mark in certain territories, we may
be restricted in our ability to use the Proprietary Mark when expanding into those territories.
Your rights to use the Proprietary Mark are derived solely from your Franchise Agreement and are limited to the
operation of your LA Boxing Franchise under your Franchise Agreement and all applicable standards, specifications, and
operating procedures we require during the Term. Any unauthorized use of the Proprietary Property including the
Proprietary Mark is a breach of your Franchise Agreement and an infringement of our rights in and to the Proprietary
Mark. Your use of the Proprietary Property and any goodwill established by your use inures to our exclusive benefit. The
LA Boxing Franchise Agreement does not confer any goodwill or other interest in the Proprietary Property to you, other
than the right to operate an LA Boxing Franchise in compliance with the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement. All provisions
of the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement applicable to the Proprietary Mark apply to any other trademarks, service marks,
commercial symbols, designs, artwork, and logos that we may adopt, use, authorize and sublicense to you to use during the
Term.
You must use the Proprietary Mark as the sole trade identification of your LA Boxing Franchise, and must
identify your LA Boxing Franchise in the form we require as the independent owner of the LA Boxing Franchise. You
must use all Proprietary Marks and other commercial symbols that we may sublicense in full compliance with rules we
enact. You must not use, and are prohibited from using any Proprietary Mark (including any future commercial marks we
license) in the sale of any unauthorized product or service or in any manner we have not explicitly authorized. You cannot
use the Proprietary Mark as, or part of, your corporate or partnership name. You must follow our instructions in complying
with any fictitious, trade or assumed name statutes for the LA Boxing trade name. You must not use the Proprietary
Property as security for any obligation or indebtedness. Without our prior written approval, you must not use the
Proprietary Mark as part of any e-mail address, Web Site, domain name or any other electronic media (including use with
any prefix, suffix or other modifying words, term designs, or symbols), or in any other manner connected with a Web Site,
advertisements on a Web Site, or other similar electronic media.
Upon any claim of infringement, unfair competition or other challenge to your right to use any Proprietary
Property, or if you become aware of any use of or claims to any Proprietary Property by persons other than us or our
Franchisees, you must notify promptly (within 7 days) us in writing. You must not communicate with anyone except us
24
and our counsel in any infringement, challenge or claim except under judicial process. We have sole discretion as to
whether we take any action in any infringement, challenge or claim, and the sole right to control any litigation or other
proceeding involving any infringement, challenge or claim of any Proprietary Property. You must sign all instruments and
documents, render all assistance, and do all acts that our attorneys deem necessary or advisable in order to protect and
maintain our interest in any litigation or proceeding involving the Proprietary Property or otherwise to protect and maintain
our interests in the Proprietary Property.
YOUR INDEMNIFICATION BY US
We indemnify you against and will reimburse you for all damages for which you are held liable in any proceeding
involving your use of any Proprietary Property in accordance with the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement, provided that you:
(a) have timely notified us of the claim; (b) have otherwise complied with the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement; (c) allow
us sole control of the defense and settlement of any claim; and (d) cooperate fully with us and our counsel in the defense of
the action.
MODIFICATION
If we deem it advisable, in our sole discretion, to modify or discontinue the use of the Proprietary Mark and/or
use one or more additional or substitute names or marks, including due to the rejection of any pending registration or
revocation or cancellation of any existing registration of the Proprietary Mark or the rights of senior users, you must do so
at your sole expense within 30 days of our request. We are liable solely to reimburse you for your reasonable direct
expenses in modifying or discontinuing the use of a Proprietary Mark and substituting a different Proprietary Mark (these
expenses may not include any of your expenditures to promote a modified or substitute Proprietary Mark).
PATENTS
We do not own any rights in any patents material to the LA Boxing Franchise.
COPYRIGHTS
We claim all common law copyrights covering various materials used in our business and the operation of
Company Units and Franchises, including advertising and promotional literature and the Manuals. We do not license our
copyrights in these materials to you under the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement.
There are no agreements currently in effect that significantly limit our rights to use or license the use to you of the
copyrights in any manner material to you.
The copyrights have not been registered in the United States Copyright Office but may be at our sole discretion.
There are currently no effective determinations of the United States Copyright Office or any court regarding any of
our copyrights, nor are there any currently effective agreements between us and third parties pertaining to our copyrights
that will or may significantly limit your use of our copyrighted materials. Upon any infringement of or challenge to your
use of any copyrighted work, you must immediately notify us. We have sole discretion to take any action as we deem
appropriate.
If we deem it advisable to modify or discontinue use of any copyrighted work and/or use one or more new or
derivative copyrighted work, you must do so and our sole obligation in this event is to reimburse you for your tangible
costs (for example, changing equipment) of complying with this obligation.
We are required by the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement to defend you against any infringement, unfair
competition or other claim respecting your use of any copyrighted work. We are obligated to indemnify you against, and to
reimburse you for, all damages that you are held liable in any proceeding from the use of any patent or copyrighted work
and of all costs you reasonably incur in the defense of any claim, provided that you have notified us of the claim as
described in ITEM 13 and have used the copyrighted work in accordance with the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement.
Under the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement, you must not contest, directly or indirectly, our ownership, title, right
or interest in its copyrights, trade secrets, methods, procedures or any other intellectual property right that are part of our
business or contest our sole right to register, use or license others to use the copyrights, trade secrets, methods, or any other
25
intellectual property right procedures.
There are no infringing uses actually known to us that could materially affect your use of the copyrights in this
state or any other state where your LA Boxing Franchise is to be located.
Section 6.2 of the Franchise Agreement prohibits you from copying the Manuals.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
The Manuals and other copyrighted materials made available to you contain confidential and proprietary
information and are our trade secrets. We possesses and will develop and acquire certain confidential and proprietary
information and trade secrets consisting of the following categories of information, methods, techniques, procedures and
knowledge we or our Franchisees develop (the "Confidential Information") including: (1) our methods, techniques,
equipment and installation, specifications, standards, policies, procedures, information, concepts, systems, and knowledge
of the experience in our development, operation and franchising; (2) our marketing and promotional programs for LA
Boxing; (3) knowledge of specifications for and knowledge of suppliers of certain materials, equipment, furniture and
fixtures for LA Boxing; and (4) knowledge of our customer lists, operating results and financial performance.
We will disclose to you all parts of the Confidential Information as are required for the operation of the LA
Boxing Franchise during Initial Training, in the Manuals, and in guidance and assistance furnished to you during the Term,
and you may learn additional Confidential Information during the Term. You must disclose the Confidential Information to
your employees only to the extent reasonably necessary. During and after the Term, you, your owners, independent
contractors, agents, and employees must: (i) not use the Confidential Information in any other business or capacity,
including any derivative or spin-off of the LA Boxing concept; (ii) maintain the absolute secrecy and confidentiality of the
Confidential Information during and after the Term; (iii) not make unauthorized copies of any portion of the Confidential
Information disclosed or recorded in written or other tangible form; and (iv) adopt and implement all procedures that we
prescribe to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of, or access to, the Confidential Information.
All persons, whom you permit to have access to the Manuals or any other Confidential Information, must first
sign our form of Confidentiality Agreement. Nothing contained in the LA Boxing Franchise Agreement will be construed
to prohibit you from using the Confidential Information in the operation of your LA Boxing Franchise under your Franchise
Agreement.
You are not our employee but are your own boss subject to our rights under your Franchise Agreement. We
encourage you to be active in the operation of your LA Boxing Franchise but we do not require any personal participation
on premises by you. We do not require any personal participation of any specific person affiliated with a corporate or
partnership Franchisee. Your LA Boxing Franchise is not a "passive" investment and you or your designated Manager
must provide day-to-day supervision of the operation of your LA Boxing business.
Unless we otherwise agree in writing, you must be 1 of the 3 Trainees. Any of the trainees may act as Manager.
The Manager must devote his or her best full-time efforts to the management and operation of your LA Boxing Franchise.
You may hire any Manager acceptable to us rather than be the Manager but this will increase the cost of operation of your
LA Boxing Franchise and may impair results. Any replacement or additional Managers that you hire must satisfactorily
complete Initial Training before managing your LA Boxing Franchise, unless we otherwise agree in writing. Your
Manager need not have any equity interest in your franchise. You must pay for the expenses of additional Initial Training,
including tuition, travel, lodging, meals and salary. Your Managers must sign our form of Noncompetition and
Confidentiality Agreement before you grant access to the Manuals or any other Confidential Information.
If the Franchise Agreement is signed by 2 or more individuals or by a business entity, you must designate in
writing an individual as the Manager upon signing this Agreement. We have the right to rely solely on instructions of the
Manager concerning the operation of the LA Boxing Franchise until we receive a duly signed written notice changing the
designated Manager. The Manager must devote his or her best full-time efforts to the management and operation of your
LA Boxing Franchise.
If we have permitted the Manager to be an individual other than the Franchise Owner, and the Manager fails to
satisfy his or her obligations provided in Subsection 4.9(b) of the Franchise Agreement due to death, disability, termination
of employment or for any other reason, the Franchise Owner must satisfy these obligations until you designate a new
26
Manager of your LA Boxing Franchise acceptable to us who has successfully completed Initial Training.
Neither you nor any designated Manager may act in the capacity of General Manager or Class Instructor
without our approval. You agree that you will only hire or retain General Managers and Class Instructors that
meet the criteria, skill levels, and standards set by us and the system-wide recommendations in the Manuals.
You must use your Premises only for the operation of your LA Boxing Franchise business. You must keep your
LA Boxing Franchise open for business and in normal operation for the minimum hours and days as we reasonably require
in the Manuals or otherwise in writing except as may be limited by local law or the landlord's rules and regulations.
You must sell or offer for sale only the products and services that meet our reasonable uniform standards of
quality and quantity; have been expressly approved for sale in the Manuals or otherwise in writing by us to consumers only
from your LA Boxing Franchise; not sell any items for redistribution or resale; sell or offer for sale all approved products
and services; refrain from any deviation from our standards and specifications for providing or selling the products and
services without our written consent; and discontinue selling and offering for sale any products and services that we
reasonably disapprove on a System-wide basis in writing at any time;
SALES RESTRICTIONS
You are not restricted in the customers to whom you may sell approved products or services, or the prices the
products are sold or services are rendered. You must not solicit business outside your Exclusive Territory through the use
of an 800 number, catalog, direct mail, Internet Web Site or other advertising or solicitation method without our prior
written consent.

We do not use any public figure to promote our LA Boxing Franchise, but reserve the right to do so in the future.
–or-
We do not furnish or authorize our salespersons to furnish any oral or written information concerning the actual or
potential sales, costs, income or profits of your LA Boxing Franchise. Actual results vary from LA Boxing Franchise to LA
31
Boxing Franchise. We cannot estimate the results of any particular LA Boxing Franchise.
We specifically instruct our sales personnel, agents, employees and officers that they are not permitted to make
any claims or statements as to the earnings, sales or profits, or prospects or chances of success, nor are they authorized to
represent or estimate dollar figures as to any Franchise Business or Company-Owned Unit.
The FTC’s Franchise Rule permits a franchisor to provide information about the actual or potential financial
performance of its franchised and/or franchisor-owned outlets, if there is a reasonable basis for the information, and if the
information is included in the disclosure document. Financial performance information that differs from that included in
Item 19 may be given only if: (1) a franchisor provides the actual records of an existing outlet you are considering buying;
or (2) a franchisor supplements the information provided in this Item 19, for example, by providing information about
possible performance at a particular location or under particular circumstances.
We do not make any representations about a franchisee’s future financial performance or the past financial
performance of company-owned or franchised outlets. We also do not authorize our employees or representatives to make
any such representations either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you
with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your
future income, you should report it to the franchisor’s management by contacting LA BOXING Franchise Corporation,
2915 Tech Center Drive, Santa Ana, CA, 92705, telephone (714) 668-0911, the Federal Trade Commission, and the
appropriate state regulatory agency.

in that association or exchange.
3. California Business and Professions Code Sections 20000 through 20043 provide rights to the
franchisee concerning termination or nonrenewal of a franchise. If the franchise agreement contains a provision

4. The franchise agreement provides for termination upon bankruptcy. This provision may not be
39
enforceable under federal bankruptcy law (11 U.S.C.A. Sec. 101 et seq.
5. The franchise agreement contains a covenant not to compete, which extends beyond the termination
