STATE COVER PAGE


(for California, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin)

Your state may have a franchise law that requires a franchisor to register or file with a state franchise
administrator before offering or selling in your state. REGISTRATION OF A FRANCHISE BY A STATE DOES NOT
MEAN THAT THE STATE RECOMMENDS THE FRANCHISE OR HAS VERIFIED THE INFORMATION IN THIS DISCLOSURE
DOCUMENT.

Call the state franchise administrator listed in Exhibit Q for information about the franchisor, or about franchising
in your state.

MANY FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO RENEW UNCONDITIONALLY AFTER THE INITIAL TERM
EXPIRES. YOU MAY HAVE TO SIGN A NEW AGREEMENT WITH DIFFERENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN ORDER TO
CONTINUE TO OPERATE YOUR BUSINESS. BEFORE YOU BUY, CONSIDER WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE TO RENEW
YOUR FRANCHISE, IF ANY, AND WHAT TERMS YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ACCEPT IN ORDER TO RENEW.

Please consider the following RISK FACTORS before you buy this franchise:

1. THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT REQUIRES YOU TO SUE US ONLY IN THE STATE WHERE WE HAVE OUR PRINCIPAL
PLACE OF BUSINESS AT THE TIME YOU BRING THE LAWSUIT, WHICH IS CURRENTLY NEW JERSEY. OUT‐OF‐
STATE LITIGATION MAY FORCE YOU TO ACCEPT A LESS FAVORABLE SETTLEMENT FOR DISPUTES. IT MAY ALSO
COST YOU MORE TO SUE US IN OUR STATE THAN IN YOUR HOME STATE.

2. THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT STATES THAT DELAWARE LAW GOVERNS THE AGREEMENT, AND THIS LAW MAY
NOT PROVIDE THE SAME PROTECTIONS AND BENEFITS AS LOCAL LAW. YOU MAY WANT TO COMPARE THESE
LAWS.

3. THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT REQUIRES THAT YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

4. YOU MUST AGREE IN THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT THAT ALL CLAIMS AND COUNTERCLAIMS BY YOU OR ANY
OF YOUR AFFILIATES AGAINST US OR OUR AFFILIATES MUST BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE EARLIER OF THE
EXPIRATION OF ONE YEAR AFTER THE ACT, TRANSACTION, OR OCCURRENCE UPON WHICH THE CLAIM OR
COUNTERCLAIM IS BASED OR ONE YEAR AFTER THE AGREEMENT EXPIRES OR IS TERMINATED.

5. THERE MAY BE OTHER RISKS CONCERNING THIS FRANCHISE.

We use the services of one or more FRANCHISE BROKERS or referral sources to assist us in selling our franchise. A
franchise broker or referral source represents us, not you. We pay this person a fee for selling our franchise or
referring you to us. You should be sure to do your own investigation of the franchise.

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 1

Item 1. The Franchisor, and any Parents, Predecessors, and Affiliates


The franchisor is Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. and we refer to it in this disclosure document as
“Huntington”, “Franchisor”, “we”, “us”, and “our”. We refer to a person who buys a franchise from us
as “you” and we refer to any of your owners as a “Franchisee Member”.
We are a Delaware corporation and do business as “Huntington Learning Center®”. We are owned by
Rare Holdings, Inc., which does not offer franchises in any line of businesses. We and our parent have
principal businesses address at 496 Kinderkamack Road, Oradell, New Jersey 07649. We have no other
parents or affiliates required to be disclosed in this Item 1.
We offer you a franchise to establish and operate a franchised Huntington Learning Center® (“Center” or
“Franchised Business”) under the Franchise Agreement, and have done so since February 1985. The
Franchise Agreement is in Exhibit A. (Unless otherwise indicated, all exhibits are attached to this
Franchise Disclosure Document.) Although we do not own or operate Huntington Learning Centers®,
Huntington Learning Corporation has operated Huntington Learning Centers® since March 1981 and its
predecessor, Northern New Jersey Learning Center, Inc., operated learning centers beginning in 1977.
As of December 31, 2011, Huntington Learning Corporation operated 30 Huntington Learning Centers®
in the New York metropolitan area. See Item 20 for the states in which it operated.
Our affiliate, Huntington Redevelopment, Inc. (“Huntington Redevelopment”), has its principal business
address at 496 Kinderkamack Road, Oradell, NJ 07649. Huntington Redevelopment occasionally
acquires franchised Centers from franchisees whose franchise agreements expire or terminate. It then
operates them with the intention of selling their assets to prospective or existing franchisees. As of
December 2011, it operated no Centers. Huntington Redevelopment does not offer or sell franchises
and is not an affiliate for purposes of this Item 1.
We offer a separate franchise for supplemental educational services under the No Child Left Behind Act
of 2001, as amended. These franchises are offered in a separate franchise disclosure document and are
not offered in this Franchise Disclosure Document. You will not acquire any rights to offer these services
under the Franchise Agreement we describe in this Franchise Disclosure Document. We have offered
franchises only in the lines of business described above.
See Exhibit Q for our agents for service of process and their principal business addresses.

Huntington Services; Huntington Learning Center®; Your Tutoring Solution


“Huntington Services” are those services and products we describe in our confidential operating manual
(the “Operating Manual”) or that we authorize in writing. They currently consist of Learning Center
Services, Exam Preparation Services, and Subject Tutoring Services. Learning Center Service is tutoring
in reading, phonics, study skills, mathematics, and related areas. Exam Preparation Service is tutoring to
prepare students for state and standardized entrance examinations, principally the SAT and ACT. We
offer three Exam Prep programs to prep for the SAT and ACT: Premier, 28‐hour, and 10‐hour programs.
“SAT” and “ACT” mean standardized college admissions tests SAT I and ACT Assessment, created by
College Board, Inc. and ACT, Inc., respectively. “Subject Tutoring Services” means tutoring in math and
science subjects and other subjects we may designate from time to time, principally to students in junior
high school, high school, and college; and does not include Learning Center Service or Exam Prep
Service.
A “Huntington Learning Center®” or “Franchised Business” is a business that offers Huntington Services

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 2

under the Huntington Learning Center® and related marks (the “Marks”) and the Huntington Learning
Center® system (the “System”) to customers in person at its premises. The System is the instructional
format and operating system designed to provide uniform, high quality instruction in a personal and
professional manner on which we have expended time, effort, and money to develop. We identify the
System by the Marks.
Through December 2011, we offered only Learning Center Services and Premier Exam Prep Services,
both of which use a “diagnostic‐prescriptive” approach. In January 2012, we expanded our offering to
include Subject Tutoring and Exam Prep 28‐ and 10‐hour programs, which use a “direct enroll”
approach. Our diagnostic‐prescriptive approach consists of an academic evaluation and an initial
conference to discuss results and review our prescribed instructional program; after the conference, we
begin tutoring. Our direct enroll approach consists of scheduling either the first tutoring session for our
10‐ and 28‐hour Exam Prep programs or a Subject Tutoring consultation. To communicate our
expanded offerings and approaches to customers, we began rebranding the company in January 2012 by
advertising under the name, “Huntington, Your Tutoring Solution” and your advertising and your signs
will reflect this change.

Standard and Expanded Franchises


The Standard Franchise offers you significantly lower start‐up costs than the Expanded Franchise. The
Standard Franchise’s initial franchise fee is lower than an Expanded Franchise’s initial franchise fee
($7,000 vs. $43,000); its royalty rate is higher (9.5% vs. 8%); it has a higher monthly minimum Continuing
Royalty obligation ($1,900 vs. $1,600); it has a higher annual Software Maintenance Fee ($5,250 vs.
$4,250); and it requires a smaller space (typically 1,200‐1,400 vs. 1,600‐2,000 square feet). You may
operate Standard and Expanded Franchises in a space larger than described above, but not a smaller
space. See Items 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11. In all other respects, all contractual rights and obligations apply
equally to both. All franchises licensed through December 2010 are considered Expanded Franchises
and are typically approximately 2,000 square feet in size.

Turn Key Program


Our optional “Turn Key Program” provides additional support to franchisees during the pre‐opening
phase. Under the Turn Key Program, we or our vendors will build out your premises and buy and install
all furniture, curricula, phones, computers, and computer networks. We will retain and manage all
architects, contractors, and other vendors in connection with its construction. You identify and acquire
the premises with our approval, sign the lease, approve the other premises‐related plans, recruit and
hire all staff, and perform all other aspects related to opening a Center not itemized as being done by us.
See Items 5, 7, 8, and 11.
We currently make the Turn Key Program available only to those who acquire a franchise in the
following counties: Fairfield county in Connecticut; Pike county in Pennsylvania; the New Jersey
counties of Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Morris, Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Union, Somerset,
Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean; and the New York counties of Ulster, Sullivan, Orange, Dutchess,
Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, Bronx, New York, Kings, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk, and Richmond.

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 3

Development Agreement
We grant rights to develop Franchised Businesses in a specified development area under a Development
Agreement. If we offer you a Development Agreement, you and we determine the number of centers
under it. You sign a separate franchise agreement for each franchised business you establish under the
Development Agreement. The Development Agreement is in Exhibit B.

Market; Competition; Online Tutoring


Generally, you will sell Huntington Services to parents of school‐aged children and provide these
services to their children. The market for these services is developing and is seasonal. Typically,
demand for Learning Center Service is highest when schools issue report cards; demand for Exam
Preparation Service is highest in advance of administration of the exam, especially the ACT and SAT; and
demand for Subject Tutoring Services is highest in the beginning of the school year and in mid‐year.
The economic and demographic factors that exist at and about your Franchised Business’s location likely
will not remain constant. Other franchised businesses, including those we develop in the future, may
affect your Franchised Business’s sales. You will compete with other for‐profit and not‐for‐profit
businesses that offer the same or similar types of services that you do, including tutoring centers,
learning centers, exam preparation centers, schools, colleges, as well as individuals, companies,
organizations, school districts, churches, and charities. These businesses may be associated with
national or regional chains, whether or not franchised, and may be local, single business locations. Your
competition will offer various delivery methods, including on‐site, in‐home, and online. You will
compete with other businesses that feature services different from those in a Huntington Learning
Center®. The market for our services is characterized by increasing competition. We are sometimes
considered part of the education industry, an industry recognized by various investment banks.
We are currently testing online tutoring (“eTutoring”) at corporate Centers and in selected markets.
eTutoring is not part of the franchise rights we offer you under this Franchise Disclosure Document. We
have made no decision about implementing eTutoring. It we implement it, we are not obligated to offer
it to you. If we do offer it to you, we would do so through a separate agreement, which may have costs,
terms, and conditions substantially different from those in the Franchise Agreement and you would not
have any obligation to sign any agreement for eTutoring.

Regulations
The federal and state governments and others regulate your business. These laws include the Americans
with Disabilities Act, Fair Labor Standards Acts, and state laws. They govern matters like minimum
wage, overtime, working conditions, health, sanitation, smoking, safety, terrorism, fire, discrimination,
employment, sexual harassment, citizenship or immigration status, tax, and environment.
States and local governments and their agencies may regulate your Franchised Business’s premises and
operation, your instructional curricula and materials, the individuals who provide and manage
instruction, and your administrative procedures. For example, your state or municipality may require a
fire exit or panic bars on exit doors, separate male and female bathrooms, water fountains, sprinklers,
alarm systems, or that your staff possess specific certification, like that of reading specialist. Most states
regulate teachers. Most states require a background check for those who work with children. Some
states regulate Huntington Services. Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and possibly other states regulate
Huntington Services under laws governing nursery schools. Many municipalities classify the Franchised

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 4

Business as a school for zoning purposes. If you become accredited by an accrediting body, you will be
regulated by it. These regulations may increase your cost to improve and operate the Franchised
Business.
We require you and your staff to be fluent in reading, writing, and speaking the English language.

Item 3. Litigation
Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. v. the Association of Remedial Educators Franchisee Trust, American
Arbitration Association, Case No. 13‐199‐12302‐02. On September 10, 2001, we and the Association of
Remedial Educators Franchisee Trust ("ARE Trust") signed an Initial Settlement Agreement whereby the
ARE Trust consented to the dismissal of an involuntary petition filed against us under Chapter 7 of the
US bankruptcy code. The ARE Trust was a group that represented some franchisees. Under the Initial
Settlement Agreement, we and the ARE Trust retained an accounting firm to audit our advertising fund
("Ad Fund") for the audit period of January 1, 1995 through September 30, 2001. The firm's draft report
presented as conclusions various scenarios under which it opined we would owe money to the Fund.
On September 26, 2002, we filed a Demand for Arbitration against the ARE Trust requesting, among
other things, the arbitrator to decide if we owed the Ad Fund any money and that the ARE Trust violated

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 6

the Initial Settlement Agreement by failing to negotiate in good faith. On February 28, 2003, we
amended our Demand, in which we contested the report’s conclusions and asked the arbitrator to
allocate the expenses of the audit and the arbitration action; and to enforce our agreement with the
ARE Trust not to disseminate the report.
On February 28, 2003, the ARE Trust filed a Response and Counterclaims to our original Demand. In its
Response, the ARE Trust denied violating the Settlement Agreement or failing to negotiate in good faith
with us; it claimed we failed to (a) make required contributions to the Ad Fund for company‐owned
learning centers during the audit period or made unauthorized use of Ad Fund monies, (b) provide
information and records to the accounting firm, and (c) buy advertising with the monies allegedly owed
to the Ad Fund or to distribute those monies to ARE Trust members so they could buy their own
advertising. It claimed we violated the Initial Settlement Agreement by failing to negotiate in good faith
with it. The ARE Trust requested (1) dismissal of the causes of action we brought against it, (2) an order
directing us to submit to the accounting firm the materials it claims have not been produced, (3) a
determination about any money we owed to the Ad Fund for the audit period, (4) an order directing us
to pay monies allegedly owed to the Ad Fund, with interest, (5) damages in an amount to be
determined, but which it claimed is in excess of $20,000,000, for the Ad Fund’s loss of use of the monies
we allegedly owed to it, (6) a determination that the audit expenses be allocated to us, we failed to
negotiate in good faith and an award of damages for that alleged failure, and the ARE Trust’s attorneys’
costs of this action be allocated to us. On March 26, 2003, the ARE Trust filed an Amended Response
and Counterclaims that it claimed addressed our Amended Demand for Arbitration.
On April 11, 2003, we filed a Verified Petition in the Supreme Court of the State of New York
(Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. v. The Association of Remedial Educators Franchisee Trust, S. Ct. of
the State of New York, Index No. 601148/03) requesting, among other things, that the Court
permanently stay the arbitration of the damages claim as being beyond the scope of the arbitration
clause in the Initial Settlement Agreement. On May 14, 2003 the ARE Trust filed an Opposition to our
Verified Petition. On July 29, 2003, the Court issued a Memorandum Decision that granted our request
for a stay of the arbitration of the counterclaim to the extent that it sought damages representing the
diminished revenues of ARE Trust members, because the consolidated claims for which the ARE Trust
sought arbitration went beyond the scope of the arbitration clauses contained in the Initial Settlement
Agreement.
On January 18, 2005, the parties settled all disputes between them by entering into the Final Settlement
Agreement, under which the parties agreed we complied fully with the Initial Settlement Agreement;
and neither party admitted any liability. We paid the Ad Fund $1,050,000. We received full general
releases from the ARE Trust, the Association of Remedial Educators and all its members (except Peter
and Marsha Hanson, Futuredge LLC, and Altaf Kagalwalla). We released the ARE Trust from all claims
relating to the Initial Settlement Agreement. All arbitrations and lawsuits between us, the ARE Trust, and
Mark Schulman, among other parties, were dismissed.
Mark Schulman v. Huntington Learning Centers, Inc., American Arbitration Association, Case No. 13‐114‐
00236‐01. On approximately March 12, 2001, Mr. Schulman, our former franchisee, filed a Demand for
Arbitration against us. He contended we breached his franchise agreement and the implied covenant of
good faith and fair dealing, and an alleged fiduciary duty by spending over 10% of the Ad Fund on
administrative costs and overhead related to our administration of it; and spending its monies on
activities other than those approved under his franchise agreement. He sought unspecified damages and

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012

attorney fees. Under the above Final Settlement Agreement, the parties withdrew this arbitration; and
he signed a general release in our favor.
Raymond E. Warrick, Jr. v. Huntington Learning Centers, Inc., U.S. District Court for the S.D. of Ohio, Case
No. C‐1‐03‐527. On July 24, 2003, plaintiff Robert E. Warrick, Jr., our franchisee, filed a Complaint
against us, claiming we had made fraudulent statements or misrepresentations that induced him to
purchase his two franchised centers, which had been operating as company‐owned units. Mr. Warrick
alleged, among other things, that we misrepresented their profitability, the level of training of their
staff, and the amount of advertising he would need to engage in to successfully promote them. He
sought compensatory damages in an amount to be determined, court costs and attorneys’ fees, and
punitive damages. In response to his Complaint, we (1) on August 7, 2003, filed in federal court in New
York a Petition to Compel Mediation/Arbitration of the dispute (Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. v.
Raymond E. Warrick, Jr., et al., U.S. District Court for the S.D. of New York, Case No. 03‐CV‐5923) and (2)
on August 14, 2003, filed a Motion to Stay or Dismiss plaintiff’s Ohio case. On October 29, 2003, the
parties settled the case and all disputes between them by entering into a settlement agreement and
filing a Stipulation and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice and Without Costs in the District Courts. Under
the settlement agreement, the parties agreed that his two franchised centers would be transferred to a
purchaser approved by us, he would dismiss the Complaint, with prejudice; he would pay us $17,655
upon signing of the Settlement Agreement for our out‐of‐pocket expenses; he would pay us $6,000 for
legal fees incurred by us with respect to the transfer of the two franchised centers; he agreed to release
us and our affiliates from claims arising out of or related to the two franchised centers; and we agreed
to release him and his assigns from claims arising out of or relating to the two franchised centers. The
Stipulation and Order of Dismissal was filed on October 29, 2003.
Christopher Tozzo and Glenchrist Educational LLC v. Huntington Learning Centers, Inc., Huntington
Redevelopment, Inc., Raymond J. Huntington, Eileen C. Huntington, and Russell Miller, Case no. 2: 11‐cv‐

Item 5. Initial Fees


Standard Franchise. When you sign the Franchise Agreement for a Standard Franchise, you pay us the
following initial fees: (a) Initial Franchise Fee of $7,000; (b) $1,500 Software License Fee; (c) pro‐rata
portion of the first year’s Software Maintenance Fee, computed as the product of $5,750 and the
number of full months in the first year divided by 12; (d) $500 Phone Number License Fee; (e) Call
Center License Agreement’s $500 Set‐up Fee; and (f) Conference Services License Agreement’s $500 Set‐
up Fee.
Expanded Franchise. When you sign the Franchise Agreement for an Expanded Franchise, you pay us
the following initial fees: (a) Initial Franchise Fee of $43,000; (b) $14,000 Software License Fee; (c) pro‐
rata portion of the first year’s Software Maintenance Fee, computed as the product of $4,250 and the
number of full months in the first year divided by 12; (d) $500 Phone Number License Fee; (e) Call

the annual LCOS Software Maintenance fee, and the space requirements. Your and our duties and
obligations under the Franchise Agreement of a Standard and an Expanded Franchise will otherwise be
the same, but we reserve the right to treat such franchises differently to the extent permitted under the

veteran honorably discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces within three years of the Agreement Date or
if you are an active duty member of the U.S. Armed Forces on the Agreement Date, we will reduce the

If you are renewing our franchise agreement and pay a renewal franchise fee, we will waive the
Franchise Agreement’s Initial Franchise Fee and the requirement to sign the Call Center and Conference
Services License Agreements. If you renew and sign the Call Center and Conference Services License
Agreements, we waive their Set‐up Fees, but do not provide any free Call Center or Conference Services.
If you buy an existing franchise, we may require you pay us a non‐refundable Initial Franchise Fee of up
to $17,000 under some franchise agreements. If you buy an existing franchised business from us or an
affiliate, we may waive or reduce the Initial Franchise Fee, the Call Center Set‐up Fee, and the
Conference Services Set‐up Fee. See Items 1, 6, and 7.
You pay us a non‐refundable development fee of $10,000 per franchised business when you sign the
Development Agreement. If you are in full compliance with it, we will credit your development fee
towards the initial franchise fee payable under each franchise agreement you sign under it.
You must buy certain computer items (hardware and software) from us. As of the date of this disclosure
document, these items cost approximately $6,600 (including setup labor, shipping, and NJ tax). Price
will vary over time, based on manufactures’ pricing. See Item 11. You may buy other items from us, like
printers, appointment books, file folders, pens, pencils, curricula, student workbooks, posters, and other
assorted items. No payment made to us for any item is refundable.
If you sign the optional Turn Key Agreement, you must pay us an initial payment of 20% of the project’s
projected cost. The projected cost is about $63,800‐$151,500 for a Standard Center and $94,300‐
$267,150 for an Expanded Center. These amounts cover curricula; furniture, equipment, computers;
start‐up supplies; architect; real estate and improvements; exterior signs; and center graphics. See Item

Expanded Center. We will give you periodic cost accountings; and you will reimburse us for our out‐of‐
pocket costs every three weeks. Upon completion, you pay us a management fee, which we deduct
from your initial payment. This fee is equal to 10% of the total cost; and we estimate it will be about
$6,380‐$15,150 for a Standard Center or $9,400‐$26,700 for an Expanded Center.

The above tables estimate your initial investment for Standard and Expanded Franchises as of the date
of this Franchise Disclosure Document. Actual costs will vary for each franchisee and each location,
depending upon many factors. All fees and payments exclude sales tax and are non‐refundable, unless
otherwise stated or permitted by the payee. See the notes below. Before you sign a Franchise
Agreement, please read this Franchise Disclosure Document and all its exhibits. Please review carefully
all figures in this Franchise Disclosure Document, including those in these tables, with a business advisor.

2 Development Fee. You pay us a development fee of $10,000 per franchise when you sign the
Development Agreement. If you are in compliance, we will credit it to the initial franchise fee payable
under each franchise agreement you sign under it. The Standard Franchise estimates are based on no
development agreement. The Expanded Franchise low and high estimates are based on 0 or 1 franchises.
3 Turn Key Management Fee. This is an optional program that provides additional support to franchisees

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 16

during the pre‐opening phase. See Item 5 above.
4 Travel. For transportation and lodging for one person attending our initial training program. You may

$13,100, within 15 months of the Agreement Date. Typically non‐refundable. See Item 8.

13 Conference Service Set‐up Fee. We provide Conference Services at no cost through your first 2nd full
month of operation. See Items 5 and 6.
14 Architect. An architect designs the premises and its signs. Landlords and municipalities may impose
requirements, like obtaining architectural or other drawings showing structural, electrical, heating, and
air conditioning. They may impose requirements on the individual who develops these drawings; for
example, a municipality may require these drawings be sealed by an architect. Typically non‐refundable.
15 Security fees. Typically, you give your landlord and utility companies refundable deposits. If you obtain
any licenses or permits, you may have to pay related fees, which, typically, are not refundable.
16 Real estate. You negotiate leasehold improvement costs with your landlord, when you negotiate the
lease. If the landlord pays for them, you likely will reduce your initial costs, but your monthly rent likely
will be higher. Cost depends on many factors, like premise size and condition. We compute costs at $10‐
$35 and $10‐$45 per square foot for Standard and Expanded Centers, respectively. Your costs may be
higher. Typically, you pay as incurred. Rent depends on many factors, like location, size, condition, and
utilities; and ranges from $15 to $40 per square foot per year or more; rents may be more in high density
or urban areas. Our Standard Franchise estimate assumes you rent between 1,200 and 1,400 usable
square feet; and our Expanded Franchise estimate assumes you rent between 1,600 and 2,000 usable
square feet. Larger facilities may cost more. Typically, rent is not refundable. See Items 1 and 11.

choosing. Landlords and municipalities may impose sign requirements. Typically non‐refundable.

specified vendor. Custom graphics may cost more. Includes installation costs. Typically non‐refundable.
See Item 8.
19 Professional fees. You need an attorney, accountant, and other consultants. Typically non‐refundable.
20 Insurance. Estimate for first 3 months of operation. You may have to pay the entire annual premium
initially. Your expense may be more. Typically non‐refundable. Minimums are in Exhibit R.
21 Additional funds. This amount estimates your initial start‐up expenses for a 3‐month period, which you
pay to others. It includes recruitment expense; Phone Number Monthly Access Fees; expenses related to
training one staff member; supplies; cleaning services and supplies; additional funds of $20,000; and
miscellaneous expenses, like equipment leasing, repairs and maintenance, postage, and credit card fees.
It also includes advertising expenses based on our minimums. This amount does not include any estimate
of any other expense, including rent; utilities; part‐ or full‐time payroll (including any amount you may
pay yourself); payroll taxes; employee benefits; White Pages or Yellow Pages advertising; Internet
advertising; any financing expense; Continuing Royalty; Ad Fund contributions; or any other expense that
you or others may consider vital or necessary during this 3‐month period or any longer start‐up phase
that you may experience. This amount does not include any amount for the Call Center or Conference
Service, since we do not charge you through your second full month of operation; thereafter, you may
terminate these services at any time. You should expect to spend at least an additional $750 and $370
per month for Call Center and Conference Services, respectively, if you use these services. See above in
the footnotes to this table for an estimate of rent. Typically, during your first 3 months, you will hire,
train, and employ at least one full‐time person. These figures are estimates and we cannot guarantee
that you will not have additional expenses starting and operating the Center. Your costs will depend on
many factors, including, for example, your management skill, experience, and business acumen; local
economic conditions; the local market for your services; prevailing wage rates; competition; the sales
level your reach during the start‐up period and afterwards; whether you perform services personally; and
your adherence to our methods and procedures. Merely following our methods and procedures will not
guarantee that you will not need additional funds in excess of those described in this item or that your
start‐up phase will be limited to three months. The time period of 3 months is not a representation of
when you should expect to break even, if ever. The working capital recommendation is not a
representation of the amount you will need; you may need substantially more working capital. We relied
on our predecessor’s experience to determine the amounts you will need for additional funds; it has been
operating Huntington Learning Centers® at times and places as listed in Item 1. Typically, these amounts
are non‐refundable.

for the required items. The items to be purchased are described in the IT Startup Package Purchase
Order in Exhibit T. See also Item 11. You must buy some products, including graphics and educational
materials, which in some cases may be proprietary to us, from designated vendors (which may include
us or our affiliates) for use or sale at the Franchised Business. We also reserve the right also to require
you to purchase any other approved products solely from us or an affiliate, which may include non‐
proprietary products.
If you sign a Turn Key Agreement with us, we will select all of the vendors, contractors, architects, and
other suppliers used to construct your Center. See Items 5 and 11.
If we furnish you advertising and promotional materials, we may charge you a fee for their cost of
preparation and production, but we have not done so and have no current plans to do so.
Except as described in this disclosure document, you may buy your furniture, equipment, and supplies
from any vendor, if you comply with our standards. We formulate and modify our standards by
evaluating vendors’ products and services. If you want us to approve your use of any product or service
that is not in the Operating Manual, you must give us the information and samples we request, which
we review according to our standards. We will notify you when we receive this information and these
samples and when we approve or disapprove the submitted product or service. We complete our
review within 120 days after we receive this information and these samples. You must not use any
product or service we do not approve in writing. We do not make available our standards for vendor
approval. We do not issue specifications and standards for goods and services. We revoke approval of a
good or service, if it no longer complies with our standards. We do not charge you any fee for you to
secure approval to buy from alternative suppliers.
We do not provide any material benefits to any franchisee based on his use of designated or approved
sources.

LCOS Software; Phone Number


We have developed proprietary software (“Learning Center Operations System”, “LCOS”, and
“Software”) to assist you with managing the business. LCOS performs administrative functions at the
Franchised Business, including collection of information about inquirers and students, and generates
reports about schedules, finances, and billing, as well as our math, phonics, SAT, and ACT programs.
Students can enroll for Subject Tutoring and Exam Prep 10‐ and 28‐hour programs using LCOS
technology via our web portal. You advertise your services using a toll‐free number, 800.CAN.LEARN
(800.226.5327, the “Phone Number”). We are the only approved supplier for LCOS and the Phone
Number.
You must license from us use of LCOS and use of the Phone Number, and pay us one‐time LCOS and
Phone Number license fees. You must pay us annual LCOS maintenance fees, and monthly phone
number access fees.

Call Center; Conference Services


We have developed and operate a call center (the “Call Center”) that handles calls with prospective
students; and a conference services (“Conference Services”) department that offers you advice in
various aspects of the business. Both the Call Center and Conference Services conduct all services in
English. You must license the services of the Conferences Services Department and Call Center under
the under the Conference Services License Agreement and Call Center License Agreement in Exhibits C
and D, respectively. Except for initial fees, you do not have to pay any fees in connection with Call
Center and Conference Services through your Franchised Business’s 2nd full month of operation. We are
the only approved supplier for these services.

Premises Lease
You must lease a location that meets our specifications, which we describe in Item 11 and the Operating
Manual. You must not rent on a month‐to‐month basis. Before you sign any lease, we must approve
your proposed location. In addition to standard commercial lease terms, your landlord may impose
other requirements, such as requiring you and your spouse sign or guarantee the lease for the
Franchised Business individually, or that you have a minimum net worth.
Within 10 days after you sign any lease, you must give us a copy of it, together with a signed Conditional
Assignment of Lease and Lessor’s Consent and Agreement (the “Conditional Assignment”). Our current
Conditional Assignment is attached to the Franchise Agreement as an exhibit. The Conditional
Assignment will amend your lease and include some restrictive terms, including the following: For
collateral purposes only, you conditionally assign and transfer to us your interest as tenant in your lease.
Except as specified in the Conditional Assignment, we will have no obligation under the lease, unless we
take possession of the premises under the lease’s terms and assume your obligations. If you default
under the lease, Franchise Agreement, or any document securing the Franchise Agreement, we may
take possession of the premises, expel you from it, and, in this case, you will have no further rights
under the lease. You can not surrender, terminate, amend, or modify the lease without our written
consent. Throughout the Franchise Agreement’s term and any renewal, you must exercise all your lease
options to extend its term, unless we otherwise agree in writing. If we do not otherwise agree in writing
and you fail to extend or renew your lease, you appoint us as your attorney‐in‐fact to extend or renew
your lease. Your landlord (a) agrees to notify us, if you fail to cure any default under the lease; (b)

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 20

agrees we may cure your defaults under the lease, if any; (c) consents to the lease’s conditional
assignment; (d) agrees that, if we take possession of the premises and confirms that we are a tenant
under the lease, then the landlord will recognize us as the tenant, if we cure your defaults, if any, under
the lease; and (e) agrees we may assign the lease to any other person, firm, or corporation who agrees
to assume the tenant’s obligations under the lease and who is reasonably acceptable to the landlord.
See Item 11.

Insurance
Throughout the term of the Franchise Agreement, you must maintain an insurance policy, with the
requirements and minimums specified in Exhibit R, insuring you, us, and our officers, directors, partners,
agents, and employees against any demand or claim about personal injury, death, or property damage,
or any loss, liability, or expense in connection with the Franchised Business. We may change these
requirements and minimums. If you do not maintain this insurance, we may obtain it for you and you
must pay us our cost, plus a fee for procuring this insurance. See Items 6 and 7.

Teachers
In operating your Franchised Business, you depend on the availability of individuals willing to teach for
little more than minimum hourly wage, with minimal or no benefits, and who mostly teach on a part‐
time basis. These individuals are employees, not independent contractors; they often remain in your
employ for less than a year. You are responsible to hire, train, and supervise them and, to a great
degree, your success will depend upon your ability to do so. If, for any reason, you are unable to hire
and retain an adequate number of teachers, or if you must pay them a higher rate of pay or provide
them with more benefits, your business expenses could increase substantially.
Revenue or Benefits from Sale or Lease of Products and Services
Based on our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011, our total revenues were
$14,945,226. The 2011 revenues that we or our affiliates derived from purchases or leases of products
or services from our franchisees were $4,015,472, which was 27.0% of our 2011 revenue. The 2011
revenues that we or our affiliates derived from purchases or leases of products or services from School
Services franchisees were $284,360, which was 2.0% of our 2011 revenue. We or our affiliates derived
revenue or other material consideration from purchases or leases that franchisees must make.
Some vendors pay us a percentage of the payment you make to them; and make donations and
contributions towards our annual and other meetings in the form of goods, services, and sponsorship of
certain events, as described in the following table. Also listed in the table are other fees paid to us by
franchisees. Entries in the table are for Huntington Center Services and for School Services.

You must buy graphics for the Franchised Business’s walls and windows using a vendor we specify. If we
give you any advertising or promotional materials, we may charge you a fee for preparing and producing
them. We may derive revenue from these fees. As of the date of this disclosure document, we do not
charge this fee.
Some vendors permit us to pay after they deliver the service or product, but may require you to make
payment beforehand.
We negotiate purchase arrangements with suppliers, including price terms, for the benefit of
franchisees. We do not have any purchasing or distribution cooperatives.
We estimate the cost of products and services you buy or lease from us or our affiliates will represent
less than 5% of the cost of your initial total purchases or leases for establishing the Franchised Business,
excluding initial franchise and license fees you pay us. We estimate the cost of products you will buy
from us or our affiliates after you open the Franchised Business will represent less than 5% of your
overall purchases in operating it.
Except as described in this Item 8, no vendor makes any payment or rebate to us or any of our affiliates,
because of transactions with franchisees. Our officers own an interest in us and Huntington Learning
Corporation.
Item 9. Franchisee's Obligations
This table lists your principal obligations under the Franchise Agreement and other agreements. It will

Item 10. Financing


Except as disclosed in this Item 10, we do not offer direct or indirect financing, and we do not guarantee
your note, lease, or obligation.
If you wish to secure financing from the Small Business Association, it requires you execute the franchise
agreement as a corporation, partnership, or other legal entity; and that you execute all our required
agreements and amendments.
We may offer you financing, including for purchase of the assets of a franchised business purchased
from us or our affiliates. If you meet our credit standards and otherwise qualify for financing (which we
will determine), we may offer you financing for up to 30% of the purchase price of the assets of the
Franchised Business (the “Loan”). We will not finance the initial franchise fee or your start‐up costs. We
will determine the amount of the financing offered.
If we offer you financing and you accept it, you must sign the following: (a) Negotiable Promissory Note
(“Note”); (b) Confession of Judgment and Warrant of Attorney (attached to the Note as Exhibit A); (c)
ACH Automatic Withdrawal Authorization form (attached to the Note as Exhibit B); (d) General Release;
and (e) Security Agreement. The Note, Security Agreement, and General Release are in Exhibits F, G,
and I, respectively.
You must pay the UCC filing fee of $200 in connection with the Note and Security Agreement.
You must pay the Loan in equal monthly installments for a number of months that you and we
determine. We determine the Loan’s interest rate. (Note ‐ Paragraph 1) On January 1, 2011, the
interest rate was 14%. If you default on the Note, the annual interest rate rises to the lesser of 18% and
maximum permissible rate during the default. You may prepay all or any part of the Loan at any time
without any prepayment penalty at any time. Any prepayment of principal will not change the amount
of the remaining monthly installments until the Loan is completely paid. (Note ‐ Paragraph 5)
If you sign the Note, you waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and
notice of acceleration of maturity of the Note, if you fail to make any payment under the Note when due
or upon any other default of the Note. You waive the right to interpose any self defense, set‐off, or
counterclaim of any kind in any litigation arising out of the Note. You waive the right to a trial by jury.
(Note ‐ Paragraph 9)
We may assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer any interest in all or any part of the Note without notice to
you. (Note ‐ Paragraph 13) If we transfer to a third party, you may lose all defenses against us because
of the transfer. It is not our present practice or intent to assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer any
financing arrangements we have with franchisees, but we reserve the right to do so.

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 24

Upon any default under the Note, we may require you, at our option, to pay the whole unpaid amount
of the Loan immediately. (Note ‐ Paragraph 2) You must pay us all expenses we incur to enforce our
rights under the Note. (Note ‐ Paragraph 8) Under the Security Agreement, you grant us a security
interest in all of your franchise agreements and related agreements, the Center, and the assets of the
Center (the “Collateral”). If you default under the Note, we may repossess, sell at public or private
auction, or otherwise realize upon any part of, or all of, the Collateral; and, under the Confession of
Judgment and Warrant of Attorney, you authorize any attorney or clerk of any court to appear on our
behalf to enter a judgment against you in our favor for all amounts due on the Note, plus all our
attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses. (Note ‐ Exhibit A)
We do not sign written arrangements with lenders to offer financing to our franchisees.

Item 11. Franchisor's Assistance, Advertising, Computer Systems, and Training


Except as listed below, we are not required to provide you with any assistance.
Our pre‐opening obligations to you
Before you open the Franchised Business, we provide you with the following assistance:
• We will lend you one copy of the Operating Manual. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 5) You may
view it at our headquarters before you sign the receipt in Exhibit V. See Item 14.
• We will provide you with design specifications for a prototypical franchised business for adaptation
by you. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 5) We provide you with the names of approved
suppliers. We do not deliver or install any item in the Franchised Business, except for the technology
specified in the Startup Package Purchase Order in Exhibit T of the FDD, and the LCOS software.
• We will provide you with a list of products and services required for use at the Franchised Business,
including educational materials and any required or suggested suppliers for the System. (Franchise
Agreement ‐ Paragraph 5)
• We will offer you and your staff an initial training program. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraphs 5
and 7)
• We will approve your site for the Franchised Business. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 4) We will
approve your proposed site within 30 days of our receipt of all information necessary to review it.
(Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 4)
• We will license you our Phone Number. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 2)
• We will license you our LCOS software. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 2)
• If you sign a Turn Key Agreement, we will arrange for construction of the Franchised Business’s
premises, including selecting an architect, purchasing and installing all equipment, and obtaining all
necessary insurance, permits, and inspections required for construction of the premises (Turn Key
Agreement ‐ Paragraph 5.1).
• We provide you with Call Center services for no monthly fee through your 2nd full month of
operation. (Call Center License Agreement ‐ Paragraph 3.1)

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 25

• We provide you with Conference Services for no monthly fee through your 2nd full month of
operation. (Conference Service License Agreement ‐ Paragraph 3.1)

and other equipment and standards. (Call Center License Agreement ‐ Paragraph 3) You may view
it at our headquarters before you sign the receipt in Exhibit V.
• We will lend you the Conference Service Standards, which is a written description of the related
technical and other equipment and standards. (Conference Service License Agreement ‐ Paragraph
3) You may view it at our headquarters before you sign the receipt in Exhibit V.
• If you sign a Development Agreement, we will give you advice about location selection guidelines.
(Development Agreement ‐ Paragraph 6)
Site Selection
You select your Franchised Business’s location and we approve it. Typical locations are on ground floors
in suburban areas in retail locations, although some older facilities are in professional office buildings.
For Franchised Businesses established under Standard and Expanded Franchises, we recommend
approximately 1,200‐1,400 and 1,600‐2,000 square feet of usable floor space, respectively. You may
open a Center in larger, but not smaller, space.
Construction of the Premises
If you sign a Turn Key Agreement, we will select an architect to develop a preliminary plan, which may or
may not include drawings that conforms the Franchised Business’s premises to our requirements. The
preliminary plan will identify the required construction and services and include all labor, materials,
equipment, and services to be provided by us to fulfill our obligations under the Turn Key Agreement.
We or our vendors will construct the Franchised Business’s premises, including (a) obtaining insurance
for the work; (b) obtaining inspections and building and sign permits; (c) building the premises; (c)
selecting phone, Internet, and other providers; (e) buying and installing all equipment; (f) storing and
transporting materials and equipment, as necessary; and (g) providing you and estimated date by which
the work will be complete.
Time to open a Franchised Business
Franchisees typically open their franchised business within 6‐9 months after they sign a franchise
agreement. Your time period depends on many factors, including your ability to select a location; to
obtain and negotiate a lease; to obtain financing or building permits; to design and construct the
Franchised Business’s premises; to comply with zoning and local ordinances; to deal with weather
conditions, shortages, strikes, and unexpected events; to obtain inventory and equipment; and to deal
with delayed delivery and installation of equipment, fixtures, and signs.
Before you sign the Franchise Agreement, we urge you to meet and speak with our franchisees,
including those in your Advertising Cooperative Association.
If you sign a Turn Key Agreement, the date of opening will be affected by the amount of time it takes us
to complete the design and construction of the Franchised Business’s premises and to obtain equipment
and fixtures and install them in the Franchised Business’s premises.
You must identify a location for the Franchised Business, obtain our approval for this location, and open
it within 270 days after the Franchise Agreement date. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 4) You may

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 26

request an extension of this 270‐day period; and, if we grant it, you must sign our general release, to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law. The duration of any extension will be 90 days or less.
Our continuing obligations to you
During your operation of the Franchised Business, we provide you with the following assistance:
• We will provide you with modifications, additions, and deletions to the Operating Manual.
(Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 5)
• We will provide you with advice about the operation of the Franchised Business and delivery of the
Huntington Services. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 5)
• We will offer to sell you materials owned by or licensed to us. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 5)

• We will provide you with modifications, additions, and deletions to the Call Center Standards. (Call
Center License Agreement ‐ Paragraph 3)
• We will provide you with modifications, additions, and deletions to the Conference Service
Standards. (Conference Service License Agreement ‐ Paragraph 3)
If you receive a notice for a default that cannot be cured or fail to cure a default after notice within the
required time period, we have the right to limit some services or benefits provided or required to be
provided to you under the Franchise Agreement, temporarily or permanently, including those listed in
this Item 11. We may reinstate any of these services or benefits at any time and you must accept them.
If we limit any services or benefits as described in this paragraph, you still must pay all fees required
under the Franchise Agreement, including any fees associated with services or benefits we limit. You
have no right to a refund of any fees paid in advance for those services.
Primary Franchisee Member
We refer to your owners as “Franchisee Members”. You must designate a Franchisee Member with at
least a 20% ownership interest in you to be your Primary Franchisee Member. Your Primary Franchisee
Member must be a natural person; he or she is the person who we contact about the Franchise
Agreement and the Franchised Business. You must notify us if you designate another person as your
Primary Franchisee Member.
Advertising Programs for Franchised Businesses
You may use any advertising or promotional item, providing we approve it in advance. We have no
obligation to conduct advertising in any local, regional, or national media. We do not have a franchisee
advertising council that advises us on advertising policies. In addition to the required and suggested
amounts in Item 6, we strongly suggest you undertake a program of school and merchant visits to
generate inquiries in your Franchised Business.

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 27

We have created Advertising Cooperative Associations (each a “Cooperative”) and you must become a
member of a Cooperative and begin contributing when you open your Franchised Business. We
determine each Cooperative's membership. As of the date of this disclosure document, we base your
membership on the area of dominant influence (“ADI”) in which the Franchised Business is located. An
ADI is the geographic area surrounding a city in which the broadcasting stations based in that city
account for a greater share of the listening or viewing households than do broadcasting stations based
in other nearby cities. The Cooperative must operate in accordance with its bylaws. These bylaws are
available for your review from us. Cooperatives do not have to prepare annual or periodic financial
statements. You should contact your Cooperative for copies of its minutes and to determine its level of
activity and contributions, if any. We can change, dissolve, or merge any Cooperative. The amount you
must contribute to the Cooperative is determined by a majority vote of its members, except to the
extent provided otherwise by the applicable Cooperative’s bylaws.
We have created an advertising fund (the “Ad Fund”) to pay the expenses of promoting and enhancing
the value, general public recognition, and acceptance of the Marks. All franchisees must participate in
the Ad Fund and must contribute 2% of their Gross Revenue to it. Centers owned by our affiliates and
predecessor contribute to the Ad Fund on the same basis as franchisees, although not required to do so.
A separate corporation, Huntington Advertising Fund, Inc., administers the Ad Fund. Its bylaws are in
Exhibit K. It engages an independent accountant to audit the Ad Fund each year and makes its financial
statements available for review by franchisees. The Ad Fund does not have to spend any of its monies in
the geographic or market area in which the Franchised Business is located or in any manner
proportionate or equivalent to your contributions. We have used both an in‐house advertising
department and an outside advertising agency to create and place advertising. Huntington Advertising
Fund, Inc. may accumulate any monies in the Ad Fund that are not spent in the year in which they
accrue. We use a minimal amount of the Ad Fund's monies (less than one‐tenth of one percent) to
solicit new franchise sales.
During 2011, the Ad Fund spent 44% of its expenditures on media placement, 49.4% on production, and
6.6% on administrative expenses.
Advertising Programs for Franchised Businesses in New York Advertising Cooperative Association
If you are a new franchisee that must become a member in the New York Advertising Cooperative
Association (“NYACA”), then the Franchised Business’s NYACA Cooperative Advertising Fee (the “NYACA
Fee”) will be $3,000 per month during its first 8 months of operation; $4,500 per month during its next 8
months of operation; $6,000 per month during its next 8 months of operation; and, beginning with its
25th month of operation, the then‐standard NYACA Fee, which likely will be substantially greater than
$6,000 per month. In 2012, the NYACA Fee will be approximately $8,500 per month. Those who are
renewing their franchise or acquiring a franchise through transfer must pay the standard NYACA Fee
from when they first begin operation. See Item 6 for NYACA’s geographic description and Exhibit K for
its bylaws. We have, or our affiliate has, controlling voting power in NYACA. Except as described in this
paragraph, there is no limit on the NYACA Fee. The 2012 NYACA marketing plan consists of the
following:
• TV coverage and internet search engine marketing
In addition to NYACA contributions, we encourage additional direct mailings; print advertising in local
and regional newspapers and lifestyle magazines; local radio; and local advertising efforts, such as team

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 28

and club sponsorships, local merchant partnerships, school newspaper ads, and school and merchant
visits.
Computer Systems
Our LCOS software supports administrative functions at the Franchised Business, including collection of
information about inquirers and students, creation of individualized prescriptions for students,
scheduling of teachers and students, tracking of attendance and accounts receivable, and reporting on
multiple aspects of center operation for students in a variety of programs.
If you are opening a new Franchised Business or acquiring a Franchised Business not already equipped
with hardware and software meeting the minimum technology specifications described in the Operating
Manual, you must buy all required hardware and software from us and pay for it concurrently when you
sign the Franchise Agreement. As described more fully in the IT Startup Package Purchase Order in
Exhibit T, the required hardware consists of a PC, Laptop, Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax, High‐Speed
LaserJet Printer, together with Firewall, Battery Backup, and Network Cables, initial equipment
consumables (e.g. toner) and warranties. Required software consists of Microsoft Office Professional
(Word, Excel, and Outlook), Virus and Spyware Protection, Accounting Application, Remote Connectivity
Application, and Sybase Licensing Fees (for all computers running our LCOS software). As of the date of
this Franchise Disclosure Document, we charge approximately $6,600 for the items you must buy from
us. This amount includes setup labor, shipping, and New Jersey tax. It will vary based on manufacturers’
pricing. We set up the equipment and software at our headquarters and ship it to you. You assemble it
at your site. You use the laptop computer during initial training. See the Training Programs section
below in this Item 11.
We configure the hardware and software as part of the startup package price and, for a seven‐day
period after you receive it, we provide free technical support for them. Subsequently, the manufacturer
provides technical support, except for our LCOS software, your Outlook connection to our email
(Exchange) server, and our other online applications. We support these items (our LCOS software,
Outlook, and our online applications) at no additional charge to you, aside from the Software
Maintenance Fee.
You must install and maintain an Internet connection fast enough to meet the standards described in
the Operating Manual (Franchise Agreement – Paragraphs 8, 11) We do not help you obtain your
internet connection. Typically, installation for internet connectivity, center wiring, and computer setup
costs $500 ‐ $2,000, but may be higher with more complex environments, such as adding optional
additional networked computers. The recommended networking plan for the Franchised Business is
found in the Operating Manual. If we cannot support our LCOS software or communicate with it using
an Internet connection, we may charge you our related material, support, handling, email, and
communication costs. If we cannot communicate with LCOS using an Internet connection, we may
terminate your use of it. (Franchise Agreement ‐ Paragraph 8)
We give you two email addresses, one for the Primary Franchise Member (typically you) and one for the
Franchised Business. When you use these email addresses, you use them with Microsoft Outlook for the
desktop and not with Outlook Express. You use these email addresses for all your business in connection
with the Franchised Business, including email communication between you and us, and your staff and
us. You may not use them for any other purpose. All email messages sent via any email address in
connection with the Franchised Business must use our required signature.

Typically, you obtain a maintenance contract to cover the annual cost of any optional maintenance,
updating, or support contracts. Typically, the annual hardware maintenance contract costs 20‐30% of
the purchase price. Typically, you should replace hardware and software every two‐three years.
Typically, hands‐on technical support from third parties to assist with computer network setup,
operating system, and software support costs about $110 per hour. After you install your hardware and
software, you should incur about 35 hours per year of such hourly technical support not covered by a
maintenance contract. Other than as described in this section, neither we nor any affiliate of ours or
third party have any obligation to provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or updates.
If we pay any amount for you to any vendor to install, maintain, or improve our LCOS software, you
must pay us this amount. You must pay us any fee we pay on your behalf, including any fee we pay on
your behalf to any provider of software, software‐related services or equipment, email services, or
computer‐related services or equipment. These amounts are non‐refundable and we may earn revenue
from them.
If we update our LCOS software, you must download and install the update within ten calendar days. If
we upgrade our software, computer, and hardware standards, you must buy and install these upgrades
(Franchise Agreement – Paragraphs 4, 8). There are no contractual limitations on the frequency or costs
of these upgrades.
We own and will have independent access to the information that will be generated or stored in your
computer system associated with our LCOS software, and there are no contractual limitations on our
right to access or use this information. To provide us with this access, you must maintain an internet
connection and permit replication functionality of our LCOS software solution to replicate LCOS data to
our computers.
Training Programs
We offer initial training and advanced training, which, in 2012, consists of regional meetings, local
trainings, and small group training. We conduct substantially all initial training at our Training Center,
which is located in our headquarters in Oradell, NJ, or in corporate Centers in the NYACA area. (See
Item 6 for NYACA’s geographical description.) We do not maintain physically separate offices or training
facilities for Huntington Learning Corporation or any other affiliate. Beverly Collins supervises the
training program and has been with Huntington since 1981. Ms. Collins length of experience in the field
has been over 20 years.
We will host our 2012 convention on October 17‐19, 2012 in Orlando, FL. See Item 6.
We conduct advanced training at locations throughout the country and occasionally at our Training
Center. In March 2012, we conducted four regional meetings, one each in Los Angeles, Chicago,
Baltimore, and Miami. We conduct local trainings three or four times per year on a seasonal basis. We
conduct each local training program in each of approximately five major cities. We conduct small group
training throughout the year either by conference call or in‐person at Centers in various locations. We
also offer online training; and you participate in it at your location.
In our initial training program, we employ volumes of written material, classroom and computer‐based
learning, on‐the‐job training, phone conferences, roll playing, online training, and verification with
respect to all materials. On‐the‐job training consists of performing or observing instructional and
management functions at one or more Centers in the NYACA area. You and your staff must be fluent in
reading, writing, and speaking English, since we conduct all training and operations in English. You

software applications, like Internet Explorer, QuickBooks, and Microsoft’s Word, Excel, Outlook, and
SharePoint, all of which we use in training and operations. You must become proficient in our
applications, including our LCOS software. If you are opening a new franchised business, you and your
Primary Franchisee Member and any Manager must attend our initial training program no later than 150
days after you sign the Franchise Agreement and before you open your Franchised Business. Your full‐
time staff members must attend our initial training within 90 days of hire. You may request a 30‐day

you open the Franchised Business. As described in the next table, FIT consists of 80 hours of classroom
training over 12 days in our Training Center, 40 hours of on‐the‐job training over four days at NYACA‐

We bear the cost of maintaining our Training Center, including the overhead cost of training, staff

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 31

We occasionally offer optional advanced training that is in addition to regional meetings, local trainings,
and small group training. We typically conduct it on a one‐on‐one or small group basis, usually at our
Training Center or in corporate Centers in the NYACA area. In these cases, we may charge you a fee to
cover our costs of providing this training and its related materials.
Your obligations regarding the topics discussed in this Item 11 are the same, whether you acquire a
Standard or an Expanded Franchise.

Item 12. Territory


You operate the Franchised Business at location within either an Exclusive Area or a Territory. If you do
not have a location when you sign the Franchise Agreement, you select your location and we approve it.
Exclusive Area: An “Exclusive Area” consists of a geographic area within a radius from your Approved
Location. You and we determine the Exclusive Area. Typically, it is a circular geographic area with radius
up to three miles around the Approved Location. Typically, we exclude metropolitan areas and low‐
income areas from it. The radius may be zero, if, for example, your Approved Location is in or near a
metropolitan area, a densely populated area, or a low‐income area, as we determine. We can not
reduce or eliminate your Exclusive Area, except upon renewal or Transfer.
Territory: A “Territory” is delineated by geographical areas or political or physical boundaries.
Previously, some franchisees were granted a Territory instead of an Exclusive Area. Although we no
longer grant Territories, we permit those with a Territory to renew or transfer it, if the renewing or
transferring franchisee signs a Territory Amendment. If you have a Territory, you must conduct all your
advertising solely in it or in media that claim circulation in it. “Media” includes, for example,
newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and direct mail. You may not visit any person or organization,
including schools, employers, and government agencies, located outside your Territory on behalf of your
Franchised Business, without our written consent.
Option for additional franchises: If you sign a Development Agreement, we grant you the development
rights to sign a certain number of additional franchise agreements according to a certain schedule (the
“Development Schedule”) to establish additional franchised businesses within a certain geographic area
(the “Development Area”). The Development Area typically has a ¼ to 2 mile radius. After you
establish these centers or your Development Agreement terminates, we may establish or license
franchised businesses in the Development Area. To exercise your Development Agreement option, you
must not be in receipt of an uncured default notice and each of your franchised businesses must have a
monthly average of $30,000 during the three months before you exercise it.
Minimum requirements: The continuation of the Exclusive Area’s or Territory’s territorial exclusivity
does not depend on achieving any sales volume, market penetration, or other contingency, except as
follows: Your Gross Revenue must be at least $300,000 during every 12‐month period after the fifth
anniversary of the Franchise Agreement date. If you are a transferee, your Gross Revenue must be at
least $300,000 during every 12‐month period after the first anniversary of the Franchise Agreement
date. If you are renewing a franchise agreement, your Gross Revenue must be at least $300,000 during
every 12‐month period after the Franchise Agreement date. If you do not meet this requirement, we
can terminate the Franchise Agreement.
The continuation of your right to sign a franchise agreement under the Development Agreement does

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 32

not depend on achieving any sales volume, market penetration, or other contingency, except as follows:
Each Huntington Learning Center® operating under any franchise agreement signed by you or your
affiliate must have obtained gross revenue of at least an average of $30,000 per month during the three
full months before signing any additional franchise agreement.
Relocation Policy: Our current relocation policy is as follows: You may relocate only within your
Exclusive Area. You may not relocate to within ¼ mile of your Exclusive Area’s boundary. If you have a
territory, you may relocate only within the territory’s population or geographic center, as we determine.
We can refuse the relocation, if (a) your relocation does not comply with our then‐current relocation
policy; (b) you wish to relocate within three years of a previous relocation, or (c) you are in material
default of an agreement with us. We may make exceptions to this policy from time to time.
Our rights outside your Exclusive Area: Outside your Exclusive Area or Territory, we and our franchisees
and affiliates can offer any products and services of any kind (including Huntington Services) under the
Marks or other marks; and establish other businesses and systems using marks for any products and
services, including Huntington Services, and grant licenses, without providing any rights to you. In
addition, we and our licensees can operate Centers or other businesses offering Huntington Services or
other products or services under the Marks or any other marks, at any location outside the Exclusive
Area or Territory, regardless of their proximity to your Franchised Business.
Restrictions on you for soliciting or accepting orders from customers outside your Exclusive Area: You
must service customers only at the Franchised Business’s premises. You may solicit and accept
customers from both inside and outside your Exclusive Area. You may not solicit customers from within
the territory of any other franchisee operating under our franchise agreement in which we granted a
territory (unless otherwise permitted by us in writing). If you sign a Territory Amendment, you may
solicit customers only from within your Territory.
Restrictions on us for soliciting or accepting orders from consumers inside the Exclusive Area: Neither
we nor our franchisees or affiliates will operate a Center within your Exclusive Area or Territory during
the term of the Franchise Agreement; and within the Development Area during the term of the
Development Agreement. We and our franchisees and affiliates may solicit and accept customers from
within your Exclusive Area (or Territory) and Development Area. We and franchisees and affiliates may
use other channels of distribution, like the Internet, telemarketing, or direct marketing sales, to make
sales within the Exclusive Area (or Territory) and Development Area using our Marks or other
trademarks and service marks. We pay no compensation for soliciting or accepting customers from
within the Exclusive Area (or Territory) or Development Area. We may acquire or affiliate with any
educational or other business, including one that offers products or services the same as or similar to
Huntington Services under the System or using the Marks or any other system or trademarks or service
marks.
Our other rights. We and our affiliates retain the rights, among others, in our and their sole and
absolute discretion:

(a) To establish or operate, and license others to establish or operate, businesses the same as, similar
to, or different from the Franchised Business offering Huntington Services or other products or

Item 18. Public Figures


We do not use any public figure to promote our franchise.

Item 19. Financial Performance Representations


The FTC’s Franchise Rule permits a franchisor to provide information about the actual or potential
financial performance of its franchised or corporate‐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.
This Item 19 presents 2011 financial performance about franchised and corporate‐owned Huntington
Learning Centers®.
Franchise Centers. In 2011, the average annual sales of the 234 franchised Centers in operation for the
entire year were $417,393. Of these, 98 or 42% achieved sales greater than the average.
Corporate‐owned Centers. In 2011, the average annual sales of the 30 corporate‐owned Centers in
operation for the entire year were $913,450. Of these, 13 or 43% achieved sales greater than the
average.
CAUTIONARY NOTES: Not all Huntington Learning Centers® achieved these average sales. There is no
assurance you will do as well. If you rely upon our figures, you must accept the risk of not doing as well.
Sales likely will be lower for newer franchisees.
Your individual financial results may, and likely will, differ from the result stated above. Many factors
influence the revenue at a Huntington Learning Center®, including the way the manager operates the
business, the number of inquiries, conversion of these inquiries to enrolled students, program duration,
and tuition rates, as well as factors outside the business, like foot and car traffic, road structure, and
demographic factors, including the number of school‐age children located near the Center. Operation of
the Center may be affected by factors like the curriculum used in the schools attended by students in
the area, and the length of the school day and the length of the school year. The presence of direct and
indirect competitors, including other Huntington Learning Centers®, may affect your revenue. Factors

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 50

that determine expenses at a Center include debt service; the number of teachers and other staff hired
and their length of employment; the amount of compensation you pay yourself, as well as staff; and the
benefits offered. Other factors include premises rent and marketing expenditures. Many franchisees
spend substantially more on marketing than required under the Franchise Agreement. In addition, your
Advertising Cooperative Association can require money for cooperative advertising.
Franchised Centers differ from each other in many important ways, including their market area and
geographic location and the number of children and population contained thereabout and the economic
and financial circumstances of this population. Centers also differ from each other in their physical,
marketing, employee, and manager's characteristics and in many other factors that may or may not exist
or be similar to the factors that exist in any other location or geographic area or market area that you or
any prospective franchisee may consider. Actual sales, expenses, profits, and earnings vary from one
Center to another by significant amounts, and we cannot and do not estimate or forecast the sales,
expenses, profits, or earnings that you may achieve.
You should conduct an independent investigation of the costs and expenses you will incur in operating
the Franchised Business. Current franchisees and former franchisees listed in Exhibits M and N,
respectively, may be a source of this information. You should consult with financial, business and legal
advisors about this Item 19.
Written substantiation for the financial performance representation will be made available to the
prospective franchisee upon reasonable request.
We do not authorize anyone, including our officers or sales personnel, to furnish you with any oral or
written information about actual or potential sales, expenses, profits, or earnings of Huntington
Learning Centers®, other than the information in this Item 19.
If you receive any oral or written information about actual or potential sales, expenses, profits, or
earnings of Huntington Learning Centers®, other than the specific information contained in this Item
19, please notify the Chairman of Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. immediately in writing.
How we calculated average actual sales
Franchised and corporate‐owned Huntington Learning Centers® in operation all of 2011 reported the
gross revenues ("sales") in this item. We compiled the data for franchised Centers from the monthly
income statements our franchisees submitted to us, which they prepare according to a standardized
method described in the Operating Manual. We believe these statements are accurate as to sales,
because each franchisee must pay us Continuing Royalty and Advertising Fees that are calculated as a
percentage of sales. We have not audited nor in any other manner substantiated the truthfulness,
accuracy, or completeness of any information supplied by our franchisees. We compiled the data for
corporate‐owned Centers according to a standardized method described in the Operating Manual.
In 2011, Huntington Learning Corporation operated Centers in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.
The following table lists the states in which franchised Centers operated during 2011:

and software; and (d) to maintain the foregoing in good condition and in excellent repair. You
agree we have right, from time to time, to modify, add to, or delete from, such standards for
any reason, including to conform to the building design, trade dress, color schemes, and
presentation of the Marks in a manner consistent with the then‐current image for a Premises.
You acknowledge that you may have to make substantial expenditures for this maintenance,
refurbishment, modification, and upgrading. You agree that we are not obligated to purchase
or buy back anything you may lease, acquire, purchase, or license in connection with the
Franchised Business, whether or not you leased, acquired, purchased, or licensed any such
thing at our direction.
4.6.2 During the Term, we will not require you to make a Major Upgrade more than once every 3

required to make such Major Upgrade, if you provide to us written non‐revocable notice, in
the form and manner we require, within 30 days of our notice of the required Major Upgrade
that you conclusively and unconditionally waive your right to renew this Agreement. Any
dispute regarding Major Upgrades, including whether any upgrade is a Major Upgrade or the
definition or interpretation of a Major Upgrade, shall be resolved by us, in our sole discretion.

and us or any of our affiliates. We have the sole and absolute right to resolve any dispute
about this relocation policy, including any dispute about definition or interpretation.
4.7.2 Upon relocation of your Premises, your Exclusive Area shall not change; and the new,
approved location shall be deemed to be your Approved Location and shall be subject to all
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you relocate your Premises, then you shall
conform it to our then‐current standards, as provided in this Paragraph 4. If your Premises is
not relocated to the new, approved location within 180 days after you receive our written
approval, our approval shall be withdrawn automatically, without notice to you. You agree to
pay us promptly upon demand all our out‐of‐pocket costs and expenses, including all

with any request by you to relocate your Premises and in connection with any relocation of it.
In connection with any relocation of your Premises, you and each of your Franchisee Members
and Guarantors shall execute the Release, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law,
when you notify us of your intent to relocate your Premises and upon its relocation. You
agree your compliance with each requirement in this Paragraph 4.7 is a material condition to

absolute discretion, we may make exceptions to this policy. You have no right to request that
we make any exception to this policy.

fees and interest as described in this Paragraph 6.6. Entitlement to such late fee and interest shall be
in addition to any other remedies we may have under this Agreement or at law or in equity. This

or notice all amounts due and payable to us and our affiliates under this Agreement and for products or
services purchased by you from us or our affiliates; and any monies advanced by us or our affiliates to

other financial institution account we specify, at the times and with the frequency we designate, by

as we may specify from time to time, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, and you
agree to comply fully and timely with such requirement. For each Designated Account in which you
conduct business at any time during the Term, you agree to execute an ACH Automatic Withdrawal
Authorization and to keep it effective throughout the Term; and you authorize us to withdraw monies
from each Designated Account in the amounts and at the times provided in this Agreement and any
other agreement between you and us. The version of the ACH Automatic Withdrawal Authorization
current as of the Agreement Date is in Exhibit L. You agree: (a) to deposit all monies received in

ACH Automatic Withdrawal Authorization in our favor for such bank or financial institution. You
consent to our directly transacting business with each bank and financial institution with which you
have a Designated Account to effectuate fully the terms of each ACH Automatic Withdrawal
Authorization. You shall furnish us, our bank, or other financial institution, and any other recipient of
payment with such information and authorizations as may be necessary to permit such persons to
make withdrawals by electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, or auto‐draft arrangement. You shall
bear all expenses, if any, associated with such authorizations and payments.

inconsistent with such policies. You will take such actions as are necessary to ensure that all your
employees conform to the requirements of this Paragraph 8.6. You, and not we, are responsible to
perform under this Paragraph 8.6. No advice or training program that we conduct, supply,
recommend, or approve shall reduce in any way your sole responsibility under this Paragraph 8.6,

calendar month after the date you open your Franchised Business, as we determine, and (b)
the 15th full calendar month after the Agreement Date, you shall pay a minimum Advertising
Fee of $400 per month; provided, however, if you are renewing or assuming an existing

if, in each of the prior 12 months you have paid the Advertising Fee in excess of this minimum

minimum. Each Advertising Fee payment shall be made by electronic payment, or, solely with
our written consent, by separate check, made payable to us or our designee, or as required in
the Manual or otherwise by us in writing. Any such electronic payment that we or our
designee do not receive on or before the 15th day of the month will be deemed overdue. Any
Advertising Fee paid by non‐electronic payment shall be paid by the 10th day of each month;
and any non‐electronic payment that we or our designee do not receive on or before the 15th
day of that month shall be deemed overdue if not postmarked by the 10th day of the month.

hereby become a member of, Huntington Advertising Fund, Inc. and you agree to comply with

contributions to the Advertising Fund and earnings thereon on market research, and on
development, production, and placement of marketing programs and materials, in any media,
in any geographic or market area, and to meet all costs of administering, directing, preparing,
placing, and paying for promotions, public relations, market research, advertising, and related
activities, including the cost of preparing and conducting television, radio, electronic media
(including email, the Internet, and Networking Media Sites), direct mail, magazine, and

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 27

Huntington franchise agreement in which a territory has been granted (unless otherwise permitted by
us in writing), or (b) as otherwise restricted herein.

13 INSURANCE

13.1 Minimum Insurance. Before you begin any operations under this Agreement and continually during
the Term, you agree to secure and to maintain in full force and effect, at your sole expense, an
insurance policy or policies insuring you, us, and your and our respective present and past officers,
directors, partners, agents, and employees against any demand or claim with respect to personal
injury, death, or property damage, or any loss, liability, or expense whatsoever arising or occurring
upon, or in connection with, the Franchised Business. Such an insurance policy or policies shall comply
with the minimum insurance described in the Manual or our then‐current insurance requirements
form; provided, however, we have the right to modify, add to, increase, or delete from, such insurance
requirements from time to time in writing. We do not represent that such insurance will insure you
against any insurable risk. Your obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance policy or policies in the
amounts required in this Agreement, the Manual, or otherwise in writing by us from time to time shall
not be limited in any way by reason of any insurance that we may maintain, nor shall your performance
of that obligation relieve you of any liability under the indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 19.5
below.

13.2 Requirements. If you fail to obtain or maintain such minimum insurance required in Paragraph 13.1
above, we have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain, through companies or agents of our own
choosing and on your behalf, such minimum insurance; and, upon our written demand, you shall pay us
immediately the cost of such minimum insurance and our out‐of‐pocket costs in connection with our so
acting. All insurance policies and all certificates of insurance covering your Franchised Business shall
name us as an additional insured and shall provide that we be given at least 10 days written notice of
any termination, amendment, cancellation, or modification of such policies. You shall provide us and, if
we require, our designee with certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance (a) no later than 10
days before you begin operating your Franchised Business; (b) after any modification of, addition to, or
deletion from, such insurance; (c) within 60 days after the end of each calendar year; (d) upon renewal
of such insurance; (e) 30 days before such insurance’s expiration date; and (f) immediately upon our
written request. You agree that failure to obtain such minimum insurance required in Paragraph 13.1
above is a material breach of this Agreement; and failure to name us as an additional insured as
required in this Paragraph 13.2 is a material breach of this Agreement.

14 TRANSFER OF INTEREST

in consideration of, your or your Franchisee Members’ skills, qualifications, and representations and
the trust and confidence we repose in you or your Franchisee Members. Neither you nor any of your
Franchisee Members may Transfer any interest in the Franchisee, this Agreement, or any of the assets
of your business, without first obtaining our written approval and complying fully with the terms of this
Paragraph 14. Neither you nor any of your Franchisee Members may Transfer any interest in the
Franchisee, this Agreement, or any of the assets of your business to (a) a trust; or (b) any person who is
at that time or was within one year before the Transfer Date, employed by us or any of our affiliates.
Any purported Transfer not having our prior, written consent shall be null and void and shall constitute
a material breach of this Agreement, for which we may immediately terminate, without opportunity to
cure. You agree that, if you have notified us of a proposed Transferee, we shall have the right to give
such proposed Transferee all information and records in our possession on you and your Franchised
Business, including financial and operating information and records; and you shall indemnify us against
any claim by the proposed Transferee pursuant to such information and records.

14.2 Conditions for Your Transfer. You shall give us written notice of any proposed Transfer at least 30 days
before the Transfer Date, together with full payment of the Transfer Fee required under Paragraph

of the proposed Transferee and the price and terms of the Transfer and a copy of the proposed sales
contract with all its attachments, if any; (b) a complete and accurate description of the ownership
interest proposed for Transfer using our then‐current franchisee ownership description form; (c) any

We shall have 30 days from receipt of such notice and the Transfer Fee, and receipt of all information
and documentation requested by us under this Paragraph 14.2 to approve or disapprove the Transfer
or exercise our right of first refusal as described in Paragraph 14.4 below. If we do not approve the
Transfer within such 30‐day period, then the Transfer is not approved. Any such approval shall be in
writing and shall be effective for 30 days. If the Transfer is not completed within 30 days of your receipt
of our written approval, such approval shall be deemed withdrawn without notice. We may, in our sole
and absolute discretion, require any or all of the following as conditions of our approval of any
Transfer, each of which is a material condition to the Transfer:

14.2.1 The proposed Transferee (if a partnership, its managing general partner or partners; if a
limited liability company, its members or managers; or, if a corporation, its principal officers,
shareholders, and directors) is approved as a franchisee under our standards then in effect,
including requirements about (a) financial condition, (b) character, (c) managerial
commitment, (d) fluency in reading, writing, and speaking the English language, and (e) other
conditions and standards that we may then be applying to new franchisees;

14.2.2 The consideration or payment terms offered by a proposed Transferee are not excessive or
unreasonable, based on your Gross Revenue or the gross revenue of other franchised
businesses, in our reasonable business judgment;

14.2.3 The proposed Transferee shall have completed our initial training program for new
franchisees; or shall have agreed, in writing, to complete such training within a time period
satisfactory to us;

14.2.4 At our option, the proposed Transferee shall have assumed in writing for our benefit all your
obligations under this Agreement or, unless we exempt in writing, the proposed Transferee
shall execute our then‐current franchise agreement, which may include no or a smaller
exclusive area (as solely we determine), higher fees, and other and different fees, and terms
and obligations significantly different from, in addition to, and less favorable than granted to
you in this Agreement; except its term shall be for the unexpired Term, and the Transferee
shall pay us continuing royalty and advertising fees at the highest rate contained in our then‐
current franchise agreement. Your franchise’s designation as a Standard or an Expanded
Franchise survives transfer. The Transferee shall pay us an initial franchise fee of $17,000 in
connection with the purchase of the transferor’s franchised business;

14.2.5 If the proposed Transferee or any of its affiliates has executed a franchise agreement with us,
then (1) neither the proposed Transferee nor any of its affiliates shall be in default of any such
franchise agreement; and (2) all of the proposed Transferee’s and its affiliates’ obligations to
us and our affiliates (including monetary obligations) shall be fully satisfied at, or before, the
Transfer Date;

14.2.6 You shall not be in default of this Agreement; and neither you nor any of your affiliates shall
be in default under any agreement between you or any of your affiliates and us or any of our
affiliates. All obligations of you and all your affiliates to us and our affiliates (including
monetary obligations), whether arising under (a) this Agreement; (b) any agreement between
you or any of your affiliates and us or any of our affiliates; (c) or otherwise, shall be fully
satisfied at, or before, the Transfer Date;

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 29

telecommunications equipment, computer equipment, audio and video equipment, and


related software), computer and other software, and leasehold improvements. If, in our sole
opinion, your Franchised Business does not comply fully with our then‐current standards and
specifications, then we have the absolute right to require you conform your Franchised
Business fully to such standards and specifications, before we approve the Transfer; and you
shall indemnify us against any claim, including any claim by the Transferee in connection with
any such decision to require your full compliance with such standards and specifications. You
agree to pay us promptly upon demand all our fees, costs, and expenses related to any review
we may conduct of the drawings and specifications of the Premises. Our approval of the
Transfer shall not relate to your obligations with respect to any federal, state, and local laws,
codes, and regulations including the applicable provisions of the ADA regarding the
construction, design, and operation of the Premises, which shall be your sole responsibility.
You acknowledge you may have to make substantial expenditures for such upgrading;

14.2.8 Before or at the time the Transfer becomes effective, you, your Guarantors, the proposed
Transferee, and we shall execute our then‐current consent to transfer agreement, which
agreement shall contain a Release;

14.2.9 When you notify us of your intent to Transfer and as of the Transfer Date, you and each of
your Franchisee Members and Guarantors shall execute the Release, to the extent not

any reason to execute the Release, the Transfer shall be deemed ineffective, void, and of no
force or effect;

14.2.10 You shall remain liable for all your obligations under this Agreement before the Transfer Date
and all provisions of this Agreement that, by their nature, survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement (including Paragraphs 10, 16, and 16.4hereof), and, at your sole
cost, you shall execute promptly all instruments we request to evidence such liability. You and
all Guarantors understand, acknowledge, and agree that the Guarantors will be secondarily
liable for the Transferee’s performance under its franchise agreement; provided, however,
that this secondary liability will cease on the earlier of: (a) the end of the term of the
Transferee’s franchise agreement; or (b) one year after the Transfer. You and the Guarantors
understand, acknowledge, and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall release you or them
from any of your or their obligations under the Franchise Agreement or the Transferee’s
obligations under its franchise agreement, or the obligations of the Transferee’s Franchisee
members under the guarantee agreement executed by such members.

14.2.11 You shall have first offered to sell such interest to us, if required under Paragraph 14.4 below;

14.2.12 If the proposed assignment is to a Legal Entity formed solely for convenience of your
ownership, the Transferee Legal Entity shall assume and agree to be bound by, and to perform
all the terms of, this Agreement, and, during the Term, shall never be in any business other
than operation of your Franchised Business;

14.2.13 Except as described in Paragraph 14.5 below, you shall pay us a Transfer Fee of the greater of
(a) $15,000 or (b) 35% of our then‐current, maximum non‐discounted initial franchise fee

for any Transfer within 90 days of the Agreement Date to a Legal Entity formed solely for the
convenience of ownership; and shall be $1,000 for any Transfer of a non‐controlling interest
(as determined by us) (a) to an existing Franchisee Member; (b) to a full‐time staff member (as
defined in the Manual or in writing by us from time to time) of your Franchised Business; or (c)
from a Franchisee Member to that Franchisee Member’s spouse or natural or adopted
children. The Transfer Fee is the same for both Standard and Expanded Franchises. You shall
pay all broker fees in connection with any Transfer, including any broker fees due to our
exercise of our right of first refusal under Paragraph 14.4 below. For any Transfer hereunder,

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 30

you shall pay us all our costs and expenses associated with the Transfer (including attorneys’,
accountants’, consultants’ and brokers’ fees, costs, and expenses). The Transfer Fee shall be
deemed fully earned by us and is not refundable, if the Transfer is completed. If we
disapprove the Transfer or if we approve the Transfer and the Transfer is not completed as
described in this Paragraph 14, 25% of the Transfer Fee shall be earned in full by us and not
refundable and the balance shall be refunded, or, at our option, credited to any amount owed
by you or any of your affiliates to us or any of our affiliates. For any Transfer to a full‐time
staff member other than a Franchisee Member, the transferor and Transferee shall provide, in
language we approve in writing before the Transfer Date, that any interest Transferred to such
staff member shall be Transferred back to the transferor or you within 30 days after the staff
member ceases to be a full‐time employee at the Franchised Business. Such staff member
shall have been working for you for at least one year on a full‐time basis before the Transfer.
Such Transfer back to the transferor or you shall be subject to the provisions of this Paragraph
14. You shall notify us in writing within 5 days after such staff member ceases to be a full‐time
employee at the Franchised Business.

14.3 No Encumbrance. Neither you nor any of your affiliates shall pledge, mortgage, give as a security for
an obligation, or otherwise encumber any interest in (a) the Franchisee, (b) this Agreement, (c) the
Franchised Business, (d) any assets of the Franchised Business, or (e) any agreement between you or
any of your affiliates and us or any of our affiliates, without our prior written consent and we have the
absolute right to refuse our consent for any or no reason. We have the right to require, as a condition
of our consent, that, if you or any of your affiliates default under any documents related to the pledge,
mortgage, security interest, or encumbrance, we shall have the right and option, but not the obligation,
to be substituted as obligor to the secured party and to cure any such default; and, if we exercise such
option, any acceleration of indebtedness due to default by you or any of your affiliates shall be void.
Before the effective date of the encumbrance, you shall pay us all of our related out‐of‐pocket fees,
costs, and expenses, including attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses. In
connection therewith, all Franchisee Members and Guarantors shall execute the Release, to the extent
not prohibited by applicable law.

14.4 Right of First Refusal. If you as Franchisee, any Franchisee Member, or any party owning any of the
interest in, or asset of, your Franchised Business, desire to accept any offer from any party to purchase
such interest or asset or to make any Transfer under this Paragraph 14, the provisions of this Paragraph
14.4 shall apply, unless such Transfer (a) is within 90 days of the execution of this Agreement to a Legal
Entity formed by you for the convenience of ownership; (b) is made pursuant to Paragraph 14.5 below;
or (c) is a Transfer of a non‐controlling interest in the Franchisee, as we reasonably determine: (1) to an
existing Franchisee Member; (2) to a full‐time staff member (as defined in the Manual or otherwise in
writing by us from time to time) of your Franchised Business; or (3) from a Franchisee Member to that
Franchisee Member’s spouse, natural or adopted children. Such staff member shall have been working
for you for at least one year on a full‐time basis before the Transfer. You agree: (a) you shall notify us
of the proposed Transfer and provide us with such information and documentation as we require,
including that required in this Paragraph 14; (b) we shall have the option, exercisable within 30 days
after our receipt of all such written notification and required information and documentation, to send
written notice to the seller that we intend to purchase the seller’s interest or asset on the same terms
and conditions offered to the proposed Transferee; (c) if we elect to purchase the seller’s interest or
asset, you shall indemnify us against any claim by the proposed Transferee pursuant to such exercise.
Closing on such purchase shall occur within 30 days from the date of notice to the seller of our election
to purchase, or at such later date when our conditions to closing are satisfied or when we agree to
waive such conditions upon our exercise of our right of first refusal; (d) if we elect not to purchase the
seller’s interest or asset, any change thereafter in the terms of the offer from a proposed Transferee
shall constitute a new offer subject to the same rights of first refusal by us as in the case of the
proposed Transferee’s initial offer. Our failure to exercise the option afforded by this Paragraph 14.4
shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of this Agreement, including all of the requirements of
this Paragraph 14, with respect to any other proposed Transfer; and (e) if the consideration, terms, or
conditions offered by a proposed Transferee are such that we, in our sole determination, may not be

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 31

required or able to furnish the same consideration, terms, or conditions, then we may purchase the
interest proposed to be sold for its equivalent in cash. If you and we cannot agree within 30 days on
the reasonable equivalent in cash of the consideration, terms, or conditions offered by the third party,
then we shall designate an independent appraiser, and the appraiser’s determination of the
appropriate consideration shall be binding. You and we shall bear the expense of the appraisal equally.

14.5 Incapacity. Upon the Incapacity of any person with an interest in this Agreement, in you, or in all or

person shall promptly notify us and shall Transfer such interest to a third party we approve (a) before
the Expiration Date or (b) within 240 days after such Incapacity, whichever occurs first. During the
period between such Incapacity and such Transfer, such executor, administrator or personal

constitute a default under this Agreement for which we may terminate this Agreement immediately
upon written notice to you or to such person’s heirs or beneficiaries or to such person’s executor,
administrator, or personal representative. In the case of Transfer by will or intestate inheritance, if the
heirs or beneficiaries of any such person are unable to meet the conditions in this Paragraph 14, the
executor, administrator, or personal representative of the decedent shall still Transfer the decedent’s
interest to another party approved by us (a) before the Expiration Date or (b) within 240 days after
such Incapacity, whichever occurs first, which disposition shall be subject to all the terms and
conditions for Transfers contained in this Agreement. If the interest is not so Transferred or assigned
(a) before the Expiration Date or (b) within 240 days after such Incapacity, whichever occurs first, we
may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to you. The date of a person’s
Incapacity shall be determined in writing by such person’s physician; and you or such person’s
executor, administrator, or representative shall obtain such determination and deliver it to us
immediately upon the occurrence of the Incapacity. For all Transfers under this Paragraph 14.5, you
shall pay us a non‐refundable Transfer Fee of $1,000, plus all our related out‐of‐pocket costs and
expenses, including attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses.

14.6 Offerings. You may not be publicly held, except with our prior written consent, which we may withhold
in our sole and absolute discretion for any or no reason. All materials required for any offering of
partnership interests, membership interests, or securities in you by federal or state law shall first be
submitted to us by the offeror for review before filing with any government agency; and any materials
to be used in any exempt offering shall be submitted to us for review before their use. No offering will
imply, by use of the Marks or otherwise, that we are participating in an underwriting, issuance, or
offering of securities of either you or us; and our review of any offering will be limited solely to the
subject of the relationship between you and us. You and the other participants in the offering shall
indemnify fully the Franchisor Entities in connection with the offering. For each proposed offering, you
shall pay us a non‐refundable fee of $50,000 plus all our related out‐of‐pocket costs, including
attorneys’, accountants’, consultants’, and investment bankers’ fees, costs, and expenses, in addition

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 39

16.1.9 You shall comply with each and all of the provisions in this Paragraph 0 at your sole expense.
You agree that time is of the essence in your complying with each and all of the provisions of
this Paragraph 0. You agree to pay us promptly upon demand all costs and expenses we incur
under this Paragraph 0, including attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and
expenses.

16.2 Option to Purchase upon Termination or Non‐renewal. Upon termination or non‐renewal of the
Agreement for any reason, we shall have the option, to be exercised within 60 days after such
termination or non‐renewal, to purchase from you any or all of the equipment, signs, furnishings,
fixtures, curricula, and inventory related to the Franchised Business’s operation that we designate in
writing at a price you and we determine. If you and we cannot agree on the price of any such item
within a reasonable time (not to exceed 30 days from the date we notify you of the exercise of our
option under this Paragraph 16.2), we have the right to select an appraiser to conduct an appraisal of
the disputed items at your expense, and the appraiser’s determination shall be binding. The appraiser
shall be an independent company or individual certified or accredited as an appraiser. If we elect to
exercise any option to purchase under this Paragraph 16.2, we shall have the right to set off all
amounts due from you and the cost of the appraisal against any payment therefor.

16.3 Liquidated Damages upon Termination Due to Your Default. If this Agreement is terminated before
the end of its Term due to your default hereunder, then, in addition to the amounts set forth in
Paragraph 16.1.1 above, you shall promptly pay us a lump sum payment (as damages and not as a
penalty) for breaching this Agreement in an amount equal to: (a) the average monthly Continuing
Royalty under Paragraph 6.4 above and Advertising Fee under Paragraph 12.2 above payable by you
over the 12‐month period immediately preceding the date of termination (or such shorter time period
if the Franchised Business has been open less than 12 months); (b) multiplied by the lesser of (1) 36
months or (2) the number of months then remaining in the Term. You acknowledge that a precise
calculation of the full extent of the damages we will incur upon termination of this Agreement as a
result of your default is difficult to determine and that this lump sum payment is reasonable in light of
the damages we will incur for your premature termination of this Agreement. This lump sum payment
will be in lieu of any damages we may incur as a result of your default, but it shall be in addition to all
amounts provided in Paragraph 16.1.1 above and any attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees
and other costs and expenses to which we are entitled under this Agreement, including Paragraph 19.6
below. Your payment of this lump sum shall not affect in any way our right to obtain appropriate
injunctive relief and remedies to enforce this Paragraph 16 and the covenants set forth in Paragraph 10
and 17 hereof.

16.4 Additional Obligation upon Termination Due to Your Default. If this Agreement is terminated for any
default by you, then, in addition to the payments described in Paragraph 16.3 above, you shall pay us
all damages and costs and expenses, including all attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs,
and expenses and litigation costs, related to the termination that we incur; and all costs and expenses
and any damages we suffer shall be a lien in our favor against the assets owned by you (including the
personal property, furniture, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, signs, fixtures, and inventory you own)
and on the Premises at the time of this default. Such payment and lien shall be in addition to any other
relief available under this Agreement or at law or in equity.

16.5 Survival of Obligations. The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve you of any of
your obligations to us existing at the time of such expiration or termination, or terminate your
obligations that, by their nature, survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. The
expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to our rights against you. We
have no obligation to inform you of your obligations or of the termination of any of your rights under
this Agreement.

17 COVENANTS

17.1 Representations. You agree that you and each Franchisee Member will receive certain valuable
information about Huntington Services and the Franchised Business, including our development and
operation and the System, and that this information would not have been given to you or them,
without your execution of this Agreement; that this information has been developed by us over a
number of years at great effort and expense and includes marketing techniques, operational
procedures, business practices, and management methods not generally known; that none of these
marketing techniques, operational procedures, business practices, or management methods was
known to you or any Franchisee Member before your execution of this Agreement and all will be of
significant competitive advantage to you and them; and that all of these marketing techniques,
operational procedures, business practices, and management methods constitute valuable
information, all of which are our trade secrets. You agree we offer a unique and highly distinguishable
way of doing business. After conducting a thorough independent investigation of us and our franchised
businesses and speaking with our franchisees before the Agreement Date, you acknowledge and agree
that you and all your Franchisee Members had limited or no experience in the business franchised
hereunder and that such experience, if any, was not comparable to that provided under the System;
and it would take considerable time and effort for you or your Franchisee Members to develop
knowledge and experience in the business franchised hereunder comparable to that provided under
the System. You agree that gaining access to the marketing techniques, operational procedures,
business practices, and management methods used in your Franchised Business is your primary reason
for your execution of this Agreement and that the training in the Franchised Business operation and the
knowledge that will be imparted to you and your Franchisee Members are essential to the Franchised
Business operation and would not be so imparted, except for execution of this Agreement. You agree
that you and all your Franchisee Members have earned a livelihood before entering into this
Agreement and have the skills to do so in the future, if the non‐competition provisions in this
Paragraph 17 shall be enforced against you or them. You agree it is reasonable to impose the non‐
competition provisions in this Paragraph 17 upon you and your Franchisee Members, notwithstanding
the presence or absence of any franchised businesses in the area, market, or state in which your
Franchised Business is located. You agree that all representations in this Paragraph 17 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement, regardless of the cause for such expiration or termination.

17.2 In‐Term Covenant against Competition. Except as otherwise approved in writing by us, you covenant
and agree that, during the Term, you and the Franchisee Members shall not, either directly or
indirectly, for yourself, or through, on behalf of, or in conjunction with any person or entity:

17.2.1 Divert or attempt to divert any present or prospective business or customer of any of our
franchised or other businesses to any competitor, by direct or indirect inducement or
otherwise, or do or perform, directly or indirectly, any other act injurious or prejudicial to the
goodwill associated with the Marks or the System;

17.2.2 Employ or seek to employ any person who is at the date you employ or seek to employ such
person, or was within one year before such date, employed by us or any of our affiliates or by
any of our other franchisees, or otherwise directly or indirectly induce such person to leave his
or her employment; or

17.2.3 Own, maintain, advise, invest in, operate, engage in, be employed by, be a consultant to, loan
money to, provide any assistance to, be a franchisee of, or have any interest in (as owner,
guarantor, or otherwise) any business (a) that is the same as, or similar to, the business
franchised hereunder; (b) that offers tutoring in reading, phonics, study skills, mathematics, or
related areas; (c) that offers courses or tutoring to prepare for state or standardized entrance
examinations, including the SAT and ACT; (d) that offers courses or tutoring in any academic
subject; or (e) that offers educational services or products the same as or similar to those
offered in a franchised business.

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 41

17.3 Post‐Term Covenant against Competition. Except as we otherwise approve in writing, you shall not,
for a continuous uninterrupted period of 2 years commencing upon (a) any Transfer having the effect
of (1) transferring this Agreement, (2) changing control of you, or (3) changing the ownership of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Franchised Business, (b) termination or expiration of this
Agreement (regardless of the cause for termination or expiration), or (c) a final order of a duly
authorized court of competent jurisdiction (after all appeals have been taken) with respect to any of
the foregoing or with respect to enforcement of this Paragraph 17.3, either directly or indirectly, for
yourself, or through, on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any person or entity:

17.3.1 Divert or attempt to divert any present or prospective business or customer of any of our
franchised or other businesses to any competitor, by direct or indirect inducement or
otherwise, or do or perform, directly or indirectly, any other act injurious or prejudicial to the
goodwill associated with the Marks or the System;

17.3.2 Employ or seek to employ any person who is at the date you employ or seek to employ such
person, or was within one year before such date, employed by us or any of our affiliates or by
any of our other franchisees, or otherwise directly or indirectly induce such person to leave his
or her employment; or

17.3.3 Own, maintain, advise, invest in, operate, engage in, be employed by, be a consultant to, loan

franchised hereunder; (b) that offers tutoring in reading, phonics, study skills, mathematics, or
related areas; (c) that offers courses or tutoring to prepare for standardized entrance exams,

owned by us or any of our affiliates or that is franchised by us that is the same as or similar to
the Franchised Business.

17.4 Exception. Paragraph 17.3 above shall not apply to your ownership of a less than 5% beneficial interest
in the outstanding equity securities of any corporation which has securities registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

17.5 Modification. We have the right, but not the obligation, during the Term or afterwards, to reduce the
scope of any covenant in this Paragraph 17 or any portion of any covenant in this Paragraph 17,
without your consent, effective immediately upon receipt by you of written notice; and you shall
comply immediately with any covenant as so modified, which shall be fully enforceable without regard
to any other provision of this Paragraph 17.

17.6 No Defense. You agree that the existence of any claim you or any of your affiliates may have against us
or any of our affiliates, whether or not arising from this Agreement, shall not constitute a defense to
our enforcement of the covenants in this Paragraph 17.

17.7 Individuals’ Covenants. You shall obtain and furnish to us an executed Confidentiality and Non‐
Competition Agreement, the current version of which is in Exhibit C of this Agreement, from your
spouse, the Franchisee Members, the spouses of the Franchisee Members, your Manager, the spouses
of the Guarantors, and any employees having access to any of our confidential information.

17.8 Costs and Expenses. You agree to pay us promptly upon demand all costs and expenses, including
attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses, incurred by us in connection with,
or related to, enforcement of this Paragraph 17.

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 42

18 PERMITS, TAXES, AND INDEBTEDNESS

18.1 Your Compliance with, and Representations Regarding, Applicable Laws and Regulations. At all times
during the Term, you agree that you, your Premises, your Franchised Business, your provision of
Huntington Services, and your teachers, staff, and curricula shall comply fully at your sole expense with
all applicable federal, state, municipal, and local laws, rules, ordinances, codes, building codes, zoning
classifications, permits, clearances, and regulations, including those (a) concerning the ADA and similar
rules governing public accommodations and commercial facilities for persons with disabilities, (b)
concerning health, sanitation, building, utility, and sign permits, and certificates of occupancy; (c) any
construction or renovation of your Premises, and (d) all aspects of the conduct of your Franchised
Business. Without limiting the foregoing, you represent and agree to the following:

18.1.1 You have investigated and ascertained all such federal, state, municipal, and local laws, rules,
ordinances, codes, building codes, zoning classifications, permits, clearances, and regulations;
and you shall obtain and pay for all insurance, licenses, and permits required by them,
including those for construction, design, operation, occupancy, insurance (including worker’s
compensation insurance), health, sanitation, building, utility, signage, education, exam
preparation, labor, employment, teaching, tutoring, teacher certification, learning center
operation, tutoring operation, and test administration; and shall make timely filings of all
insurance, tax, and other required returns and of all documents and reports required by them;
and shall pay when due all taxes and insurance amounts levied or assessed by them and on,
and related to, this Agreement and your Franchised Business.

18.1.2 You may contest any law, rule, ordinance, code, building code, zoning classification, permit,
clearance, and regulation in accordance with applicable legal procedures, but you shall never
permit a tax sale or seizure by levy or execution or similar writ or warrant, or attachment by
your creditor of you, this Agreement, the Franchised Business, or any assets of your
Franchised Business.

18.1.3 We will have no liability for any sales, use, service, occupation, employment related, excise,
gross receipts, income, property or other taxes, whether levied upon you or the Franchised
Business, in connection with the business you conduct (except any taxes we are required by
law to collect from you with respect to purchases from us). Payment of all such taxes is your
sole responsibility. You will pay all state and local taxes, including sales, use, service,
occupation, employment related, excise, gross receipts, income, property or other taxes, that
may be imposed on us as a result of our receipt or accrual of the initial franchise fee, royalty
fees, advertising fees, and all other fees that are referenced in this Agreement, whether
assessed against you through withholding or other means or whether paid by us directly,
unless the tax is credited against income tax otherwise payable by us. In such event, you will
pay to us (or to the appropriate governmental authority) such additional amounts as are
necessary to provide us, after taking such taxes into account (including any additional taxes
imposed on such additional amounts), with the same amounts that we would have received or
accrued had such withholding or other payment, whether by you or by us, not been required.

18.1.4 At no time are we obligated to inform you of any federal, state, municipal, or local law, rule,
ordinance, code, building code, zoning classification, permit, clearance, regulation, insurance,
or tax. We are not responsible for your compliance with any laws or regulations applicable to
the Franchised Business, including those in this Paragraph 18.1.

18.2 Notification of Actions. You shall notify us immediately in writing of the commencement of any action,
suit, or proceeding, and of the issuance of any order, writ, injunction, award, or decree of any court,
agency, or other governmental instrumentality, that may adversely affect the operation or financial
condition of the Franchised Business.

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 43

19 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AND INDEMNIFICATION

19.1 Relationship. In all matters pertaining to this Agreement and your Franchised Business, you are, and
shall be deemed, an independent party. The Franchisor Entities shall have no fiduciary obligation to
you. You are not, and shall not be deemed, an agent, legal representative, joint venturer, partner, or
employee of any Franchisor Entity for any purpose whatsoever. No Franchisor Entity is liable for the
debts, obligations, or Acts of you, your affiliates, or the Franchisee Members. You, your affiliates, and
the Franchisee Members have no right in any oral or written agreement, lease, or other document to
bind, obligate, or grant any rights against any Franchisor Entity in any way or for any reason; and you
shall not represent that you or they have any right to do so. You shall conduct all your obligations in
your own name and not in our name or the name of any of our affiliates. You acknowledge and agree
that our usual business is the offering and selling rights to others to operate Huntington Franchised
Businesses using the Marks and System, developing enhancements to the System and providing
assistance to Huntington franchisees and, accordingly, our usual business is different from your usual
business of operating a retail Franchised Business.

19.2 Control. Except as provided in this Agreement, we have no right to control, or have access to, your
funds, or control the expenditure of your funds, or exercise any dominion or control over your
Franchised Business. None of your customers, employees, agents, or vendors are, or shall be deemed,
our customers, employees, agents, or vendors, and we shall have no control over, or any responsibility
for, any of your customers, employees, agents, or vendors, and you shall communicate this to them.

19.3 Our Business. You acknowledge and agree that we are not in the business of offering or selling the
same products and services as you, but rather that our business is to license the Marks, authorize the
use of the System, and provide the training, advice, and support set forth in this Agreement.

19.4 Required Statements. You shall indicate your independent ownership of your Franchised Business in
all public records and on all stationery and checks. You shall place the words “Independently Owned
and Operated,” or other words as we direct in writing from time to time, in your Premises, on all
stationery, business cards, brochures, literature, advertisements, promotional material, signs, and all
materials and items using or displaying to the public any of the Marks.

19.5 Your Responsibility for Your Acts; Indemnification of Us; Defense of Claims. You agree you are
responsible for (a) all losses, damages, and liabilities to all your customers, employees, agents, and
vendors and to all others, all damage to property, and all physical and mental injury and illness and
death of persons arising out of, or in connection with, your Acts; (b) your compliance with all federal,
state, and local laws, statutes, codes, rules, regulations, and standards, including the ADA, applicable to
you and the Franchised Business, and (c) all fraudulent acts and practices committed by you, your staff,
agents, suppliers, and vendors in connection with all consumer transactions in, and related to, the
Franchised Business. You agree we are, in no regard, a supplier in any consumer transaction conducted
by you, your staff, agents, suppliers, or vendors. For all time, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless
the Franchisor Entities from and against all claims; demands; losses; obligations; costs; attorneys’,
accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses; court costs; expenses; liabilities; debts; and
damages of every kind and nature resulting or arising, directly or indirectly, and whether occasioned by
your neglect, omission, willful act, or otherwise from (a) your Acts, (b) the conduct of your Franchised
Business, (c) any violation of any federal, state, or local laws, statute, code, rule, regulation, or standard
by you, your Franchised Business, and your employees and agents, and (d) claims by any federal, state,
or local governmental agency, bureau, or board and by any person, vendor, landlord, or other
individual or entity in connection with your Franchised Business. You shall advise us immediately if a
notice is received that a claim has been or may be filed with respect to a matter covered by this
Agreement, and you shall assume immediately the defense thereof at your sole cost and expense. At
your sole expense, we will endeavor to cooperate with you and your counsel in the defense and
settlement, if any, of all such claims. In any event, we will have the right, through counsel of our
choice, to control any matter to the extent it could directly or indirectly in any way or at any time affect
any Franchisor Affiliate or any of their successors or assigns or any of their employees or agents. We

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 44

may defend, settle, arbitrate, and litigate such action in any manner we deem appropriate and you
shall, immediately upon written demand, pay us all costs, including attorneys’, accountants’, and
consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses, and litigation costs, we incur in effecting such defense, in
addition to any sum we may pay by reason of any settlement or judgment against any Franchisor Entity
or any other party. You agree this Paragraph 19.5 shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement.

19.6 Costs and Expenses. You agree to pay us promptly upon demand any fees we or become obligated to
pay on your behalf, including any fee we pay or become obligated to pay to any third party on your
behalf (a) for software programs developed, maintained, and licensed by others; and to any vendor or
third‐party provider of software, software‐related services or equipment, email services, or computer‐
related services or equipment; and (b) to install, maintain, change, or improve the Phone Number in
the manner required by us or by such third‐party. You agree to pay to us and all other parties promptly
upon demand all fees related to your use of the Software and Phone Number. For all time, you agree
to pay us promptly upon demand all expenses, including attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’
fees, costs, and expenses and litigation and court costs, incurred by us, our affiliates, and our and their
successors and assigns (1) to issue any notice to remedy any default by you under this Agreement; (2)
to issue any notice to remedy any default by you or any of your affiliates under any other agreement
between you and any of your affiliates and us and any of our affiliates; (3) to enforce any rights under
this Agreement or under any other agreement between you and any of your affiliates and us and any of
our affiliates; (4) to effect termination of this Agreement; (5) to effect termination of any other
agreement between you and any of your affiliates and us and any of our affiliates; (6) to collect any
amounts due under this Agreement; and (7) to collect any amounts due under any other agreement
between you and any of your affiliates and us and any of our affiliates.

20 APPROVALS AND WAIVERS

written request to us for such approval or consent, and you shall obtain such approval or consent in

our consent to your requests in our sole and absolute discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, you
agree we have the absolute right to refuse to grant any approval or consent permitted or required in

upon or refused to be acted upon or that which is approved or disapproved or that which is consented
to or refused consent, or about any appropriateness, legality, profitability, or success related thereto.
Any failure by us to respond to your request in a timely manner or within any time period required or
permitted in this Agreement is not, and shall not be construed as, a default under this Agreement.
None of our acts, refusals to act, approvals, disapprovals, consents, or refusals of consent is, or shall be
deemed, a guarantee, warranty, or representation that you, your staff, your Franchised Business, or
any aspect of your business complies with, or meets, any local, municipal, state, federal, or other laws
or regulations related to the offering of Huntington Services or otherwise.

20.3 Binding Effect. Upon your and our execution, this Agreement shall bind, and inure to the benefit of,
you and us and your and our permitted heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors, and

our continual review, and we retain the right to revoke such waiver at any time, effective upon delivery
to you of written notice of revocation.

20.5 Right to Disclose; Right to Obtain Credit Report. You agree we have the right, without any
compensation to you, to use, disclose, and disseminate to any party (whether or not such party is our
franchisee) (a) a copy of this Agreement and any other agreement between you or any of your affiliates
and us or any of our affiliates; and (b) any report or information you are required or permitted to
furnish to us under this Agreement or the Manual or that we obtain from any other party regarding you
or the Franchised Business for any purpose. Such other parties include federal and state governmental
agencies, prospective and existing franchisees, vendors, financial institutions, advertising cooperative
associations, our affiliates, and Huntington Advertising Fund, Inc. Such information includes your

phone numbers, financial information, operating information, results of inspections, and business
records. You agree that we have the right from time to time to obtain a credit report of you and each
of your Franchisee Members.

20.6 Use of Name, Image, Voice. You and each Franchisee Member hereby consent to the use by us and
our affiliates of your and each Franchisee Member's names, images, and voices, and any written or
spoken statements by you, your full‐ and part‐time staff, and Franchisee Members for all time for any
business purpose, as we determine in our sole discretion. Such consent shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement and the death or incapacity of you, such staff, and any Franchisee
Member. You shall allow us and our representatives and agents to take photographs, videos, or any
electronic record of the Franchised Business; and to interview you, your employees, students, and
parents; and you agree to cooperate fully in such activities. We have no obligation to obtain your prior
authorization in connection with such photographs, videos, electronic records, interviews, or other
materials. We have no obligation to compensate you in any manner in connection with any such
photograph, video, electronic record, interview, or other material, and you waive all rights to any such
compensation. We shall have the exclusive right to use any such photograph, video, electronic record,

20.7 Rights and Remedies. Our rights and remedies in this Agreement are in addition to any other rights
and remedies that may be granted by law. Our rights under this Agreement are cumulative. Our
failure to exercise any right under this Agreement or the acceptance of any payment or report from
you shall not constitute a waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement for any preceding or
succeeding breach, or a waiver by us of our right, at any time afterwards, to require exact and strict
compliance with this Agreement. No exercise or enforcement by us of any right or remedy under this
Agreement shall preclude the exercise or enforcement by us of any other right or remedy under this
Agreement or that we are entitled by law to enforce. Our failure to terminate this Agreement under its
terms is not, and shall not be construed to be, a waiver of, and does not affect, our absolute right to
terminate this Agreement under its terms. You agree our enforcement of, or failure to enforce, any
term of any franchise or other agreement with any of our franchisees shall not waive or inhibit our
right to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between you and any of your
affiliates and us and any of our affiliates. You agree that our course of conduct or action with respect to
you or any of our other franchisees shall in no way be a defense to our enforcement of this Agreement.

20.8 Your Responsibility to Perform; Delay in Our Performance. You agree that, if you are required under
this Agreement or law or regulation to perform any action, you shall do so promptly and within the
time period and in the manner required by this Agreement or by law or regulation, or, if permitted or
required under this Agreement or law or regulation, within the time period and in the manner we
direct in writing; and you shall so perform at your sole cost and expense. Unless required to the
contrary under this Agreement or by law or regulation, we are not obligated to notify you of any

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 46

requirement or time period to so perform, or to pay any costs or expenses related thereto. Any notice
we give of any requirement or time period to perform that is not required under this Agreement or law
or regulation shall not impose on us any future obligation to provide any such or similar notice. You
agree that any delays in our performance of our duties under this Agreement not due to our fault or
not under our reasonable control, including fire, flood, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, boycotts,
strikes, acts of God, governmental acts or orders, and civil disorders, shall not be deemed a default
under this Agreement; and you agree to extend the period of time within which we are obligated to so
perform for the period of such delay or such other period of time as we require in writing.

20.9 No Right to Withhold Release. Unless permitted by law, you agree you shall have no right to withhold
or delay providing to us any Release required or permitted under this Agreement on any grounds,
including due to (a) any claim or counter‐claim by you or any of your affiliates under this Agreement or
any other agreement between you or any of your affiliates and us or any of our affiliates; or (b) our
delay in demanding you provide any Release required or permitted under this Agreement. Whenever
you are required to execute a Release upon your exercising a right under this Agreement, you agree
that such requirement is a material condition to your execution of such right.

21 NOTICES

23 ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement and all its exhibits constitute the entire agreement between you and us with reference to its
subject matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, understandings,
representations, and agreements, oral or written, about this Agreement’s subject matter. Our obligations to
you are confined exclusively to this Agreement. Any right granted to you by us as to the subject matter hereof
is described solely in, and limited to, this Agreement. Except for those specifically permitted by this
Agreement to be made unilaterally by us or you hereunder, no amendment, change, or variance from this
Agreement shall be binding on either party, unless mutually agreed to by the parties and executed in writing
by your authorized officers or agents and by one of our corporate officers. Nothing in this Agreement or in
any related agreement between you and us is intended to disclaim the representations in our Franchise
Disclosure Document.

24 APPLICABLE LAW; FORUM; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

24.1 Applicable Law; Forum. You and we agree: (a) This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, except for such state’s conflict‐of‐law rules. The
New Jersey Franchise Practices Act shall not apply to this Agreement. (b) Except as otherwise provided
herein, any action, whether or not arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, whenever and
wherever incurred, whether vested or contingent, whether in law or in equity, whether directly,
representatively, derivatively, or in any other capacity, brought by you or any Franchisee Member
against us shall be brought in the judicial district in which we have, at the time of commencement of
such action, our principal place of business. We shall have the right to commence an action against you
in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we hereby waive all objections to personal jurisdiction
or venue for the purpose of carrying out the purposes of this Paragraph 24.1. Nothing in this Paragraph
24.1 shall be deemed to prevent any party to such action from removing the action from state court to
federal court. This Agreement is made in New Jersey and is to be performed in part through services
rendered to you in New Jersey. (c) This Paragraph 24.1 governs any dispute under any prior or other
agreement between you or any of your affiliates and us or any of our affiliates, and that such provision
shall supersede and govern any contrary obligation in any such agreement for either such party
thereunder to participate in any mediation or arbitration or both in connection with filing an action or
claim under such agreement, which such contrary obligation shall be null and void and of no force or
effect. All such prior and other agreements shall be governed by this Paragraph 24.1.

24.2 Claims against Us. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, you have no right to make

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 48

any claim or counterclaim against us during the Term in any manner other than the manner described
in this Paragraph 24.2. If, during the Term, you have any claim against any Franchisor Entity, including
any claim related to renewal or Transfer hereunder, any claim that we failed to meet any obligation
under this Agreement, defaulted under this Agreement, or did not perform under this Agreement, then
you shall notify us in writing of this claim. This written notice shall describe the claim, provide an
opportunity to cure, describe the manner in which you request we cure, and provide a Cure Period
within which we may cure such alleged default of at least 60 days. Your written notice shall be
delivered to us in the manner described in this Paragraph 24.2. If your notice is not in writing, and does
not (1) describe the claim, (2) provide an opportunity to cure, (3) describe the manner in which you
request that we cure, and (4) provide a Cure Period of at least 60 days, then your notice shall be
deemed to be deficient, not a claim upon which we are required to act, not an actionable claim, not
grounds for your seeking any remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, and not grounds for your
termination of this Agreement. If you do not file a legal action for such claim, as described in this
Paragraph 24.2, within 30 days after the expiration of the Cure Period, then you shall have evidenced
conclusively that you have no claim against any Franchisor Entity; and you shall have evidenced
conclusively that any claim you may have had is not a claim upon which we are required to act, is not
an actionable claim, is not grounds for your seeking any remedy under this Agreement or otherwise,
and is not grounds for termination by you of this Agreement; and you shall be deemed to have agreed
to have waived any right you may have had to initiate any future claim against us for the same cause.

24.3 Waiver of Certain Rights. You waive the right to: (a) enforce any oral agreement, promise, warranty
or representation not in this Agreement; (b) amend, modify, or suspend any provision of this
Agreement; (c) stay the effectiveness of any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any other
agreement between you or any of your affiliates and us or any of our affiliates or any pending
expiration or termination thereof; and (d) seek damages against us because we insisted upon execution
of a Release or refused our consent or approval under this Agreement. Neither you nor we shall seek
to litigate as a representative of, or on behalf of, any other person, class, or entity any dispute,
controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the rights and
obligations of the parties, the sale of the franchise, or other claims or causes of action relating to the
performance of either party to this Agreement. No action or proceeding under this Agreement shall
add as a party, by consolidation, joinder, or in any other manner, any person or party other than you
and us and any person in privity with, or claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of, you or us,
unless both you and we consent in writing; and we have the absolute right to refuse such consent.

24.4 LIMITATION ON CLAIMS. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS BY YOU AGAINST US ARISING OUT
OF, OR RELATING TO, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THE MAKING OF, INTERPRETATION OF, OR
PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE COMMENCED BY YOU, UNLESS BROUGHT
BEFORE THE EARLIER OF (1) THE EXPIRATION OF ONE YEAR AFTER THE ACT, TRANSACTION, OR
OCCURRENCE UPON WHICH SUCH CLAIM IS BASED; OR (2) ONE YEAR AFTER THIS AGREEMENT EXPIRES
OR IS TERMINATED FOR ANY REASON. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM OR ACTION NOT BROUGHT BY
YOU WITHIN THE PERIODS REQUIRED UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH 24.4 SHALL FOREVER BE BARRED AS A
CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, DEFENSE, OR SET OFF.

24.5 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ABOUT ANY AND ALL ISSUES THAT ARISE OUT OF,
CONCERN, OR RELATE TO, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED IN THIS
AGREEMENT, YOUR OR OUR PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE, DURING THE
TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT AND AFTERWARDS. YOU AND WE MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART
OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF YOUR AND OUR
CONSENT TO THE WAIVER OF A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE
HAD FULL AND ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH, AND BE ADVISED BY, COUNSEL OF YOUR
OWN CHOOSING ABOUT THE TRANSACTION GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND SPECIFICALLY
ABOUT THE TERMS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 24.5, WHICH CONCERNS THE WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY BY YOU AND US. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT YOUR REPRESENTATIONS SHALL SURVIVE THE
EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 49

24.6 Limitation on Remedies. Except as required to the contrary under the indemnification provisions of
Paragraph 19.5 above or by law, during the Term and afterwards, you waive to the fullest extent
permitted by law any right to, or claim for, any punitive, speculative, exemplary, incidental, indirect,
special, or consequential damages against each Franchisor Entity and their employees and agents
arising out of any cause whatsoever that arises out of, concerns, or relates to, the making of,
interpretation of, or performance under, directly or indirectly, this Agreement, whether such cause is
based in contract, negligence, strict liability, other tort, or otherwise, including your claim or
counterclaim that we unreasonably gave, withheld, or delayed our consent or approval to anything.

24.7 No Exclusive Remedy. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to you or us by this Agreement
is intended to be, nor shall be deemed, exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law or
equity provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy.

24.8 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, we have the right to
seek specific performance of any of your obligations under this Agreement or injunctive relief against
any conduct that will cause us loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement without the need to show monetary damages and without
posting a bond. Such conduct includes any use by you relating to the Marks, the System, the Manual,
or our trade secrets and any violation by you of Paragraphs 9, 10, 16, or 17 hereof. An application for
such a remedy shall not be deemed an election or a waiver of any other remedy under this Agreement
or at law or in equity. We may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Agreement with any court
as written evidence of your consent to the issuance of injunctive relief.

24.9 Costs and Fees. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, in any judicial or administrative
action, order, or proceeding hereunder involving you and us during the Term or thereafter, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its out‐of‐pocket costs and expenses, including all court
costs and attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses.

25 SEVERABILITY AND CONSTRUCTION

25.1 Severability. Each article, paragraph, subparagraph, term, condition, and covenant of this Agreement
and all portions of them shall be considered severable. If, for any reason, any portion of this
Agreement is determined to be unconscionable or unenforceable or invalid, contrary to, or in conflict
with, any applicable present or future law, rule, or regulation in a final unappealed ruling issued by any
court, agency, or tribunal with valid jurisdiction in an action or proceeding to which we are a party, that
ruling shall not impair the operation of, or have any other effect upon, any other portion of this
Agreement, all of which shall remain binding on you and us and shall continue to be given full force and
effect. Any invalid portion shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement as of the date on which
the ruling becomes final, if you are a party to this action or proceeding, or on your receipt of notice of
non‐enforcement from us. You agree to be bound by any promise or covenant imposing the maximum
duty permitted by law that is subsumed within the terms of any provision hereof, as though it were
separately articulated in, and made a part of, this Agreement, that may result from striking from any of
the provisions hereof any portion or portions that a court or agency having valid jurisdiction may hold
to be unreasonable and unenforceable in an unappealed final decision to which we are a party, or from
reducing the scope of any promise or covenant to the extent required to comply with such a court or
agency order.

25.2 Survival. Any provision or covenant in this Agreement that expressly or by its nature imposes
obligations beyond the expiration, termination, or assignment of this Agreement (regardless of cause
for termination), shall survive such expiration, termination, or assignment, including Paragraphs 10 and
17 hereof.

25.3 Construction. Article, paragraph, and subparagraph captions are for convenience only and are not part
of this Agreement and do not define, limit, or construe their contents. Words of any gender shall

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 50

include masculine, feminine, and neuter usages and, where the context requires, words in the singular
or plural shall include the other. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be construed simply
according to its fair and plain meaning and not strictly for or against you or us. If any provision of this
Agreement is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the
other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning that
renders it valid. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original. The attachments and exhibits referenced herein shall be construed with and as an
integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The word,
“or”, is not exclusive.

execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the undertakings contemplated

resolution you have or will adopt, Franchisee Members, or your board of directors or

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 52

locate the Premises. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we or our affiliates may establish
or franchise businesses the same as or similar to the Franchised Business at any location,
whether or not such locations were, now are, or will be identified in a market development
plan or elsewhere. We or our affiliates are not obligated in any way to establish or franchise
any businesses the same as or similar to the Franchised Business identified now or in the
future in any market development plan. Any existing or future franchised business may
compete with the Franchised Business. Any market development plans and any demographic
or similar information you may have received from us do not constitute any representation by
us as to the viability or likelihood of success of any location for a franchised business and do
not guarantee that the Premises will or should be located at any specific site or in any area
described in them. No market development plan is predictive of any potential business
success, revenue, or profits for the Franchised Business. You have not relied in any way on
any market development plans or other demographic or similar material we provided to you in
your decision to enter into this Agreement or into any other agreement with us.

26.1.11 Our approval of the Approved Location, Exclusive Area, and Site Selection Area does not
constitute an assurance, representation, or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to the
suitability of the Approved Location, Exclusive Area, or Site Selection Area for the Premises or
for any franchised business or purpose. Our approval of the Approved Location, Exclusive
Area, Site Selection Area, Premises, and any reduced Exclusive Area, indicates only that we
believe the Approved Location, Exclusive Area, Site Selection Area, Premises, and any reduced
Exclusive Area comply with minimum criteria we established solely for our purposes as of the
time of the evaluation. You and we acknowledge and agree that (a) application of such criteria
will not be predictive of potential business, success, or Gross Revenue for your Franchised
Business or for your Approved Location, Exclusive Area, any reduced Exclusive Area, Site
Selection Area, or Premises; (b) after our approval of the Approved Location, Exclusive Area,
any reduced Exclusive Area, and Site Selection Area, demographic or economic factors, such as
competition from other similar businesses, including other businesses now or hereinafter
established by us or our franchisees, included in or excluded from our criteria could change,
thereby altering the potential business, success, or Gross Revenue of the Franchised Business
and of the Approved Location, Exclusive Area, Site Selection Area, Premises and any reduced
Exclusive Area; and (c) such factors are unpredictable and are completely beyond our
knowledge and control. The process of locating and negotiating the Premises purchase, lease,
or sublease, securing financing, recruiting, and hiring staff, and constructing and opening the
Premises takes a substantial period of time and involves risks and expenses. You agree that
we make no assurance that you will be successful in any of these activities.

26.1.12 The business franchised under this Agreement and the activities required hereunder involve
risks that make your success largely and principally dependent on your and your Franchisee
Members’ abilities and services and on any persons you employ. Any average, minimum,
maximum, range, estimate, or other amount cited in this Agreement, our Franchise Disclosure
Document, or any agreement between you or any of your affiliates and us and any of our
affiliates is not a representation, estimation, or projection of your Gross Revenue, earning
potential, or any expenses you may incur in connection with the Franchised Business. Such
averages, minimums, maximums, ranges, estimates, and other amounts include the minimum
Continuing Royalty in Paragraph 6.4 above, the minimum Advertising Fee in Paragraph 12.2
above, the minimum Gross Revenue in Paragraph 4.8 above, the minimum revenue
requirement in connection with the Renewal Franchise Fee in Paragraph 3.1 above, the
minimum advertising requirement in Paragraph 12.1 above, the opening advertising
requirement in Paragraph 12.1 above, and the financial performance representation in Item
19 of our Franchise Disclosure Document. You agree that you may incur substantially greater
expense in your operation of the Franchised Business than any such minimum expenses.
Other businesses that we operate or franchise now or in the future may affect significantly
your business, success, Gross Revenue, operations, and staff. Under no circumstance shall we
be responsible or be obligated to reimburse or compensate you in any way for any failure of

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

In consideration of, and in order to induce Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. (the “Franchisor”, “Huntington”,
“we”, “us”, and “our”) to execute the Franchise Agreement (the “Agreement”), each of the undersigned (the
“Guarantors”) personally, unconditionally, and irrevocably, jointly and severally, accept and agree that they shall
be bound by, and perform according to, each and all of the provisions, covenants, and conditions of the Agreement
executed between the Franchisor and the (in the following space, enter the Franchisee’s name) _______________
a Franchisee (as defined in the Agreement), for the operation of a Huntington Learning Center®. Unless specifically
stated otherwise, the terms used in this Guarantee shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement. Each
Guarantor personally, unconditionally, and irrevocably, jointly and severally, accepts and agrees as follows:
1. Upon demand by the Franchisor, each Guarantor will immediately make each payment required of the
Franchisee under the Agreement to the Franchisor, customers, vendors, landlords, and any other individual or
Legal Entity to whom the Franchisee owes any payment. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to require
the Franchisor to: (a) proceed against the Franchisee for any payment required under the Agreement; (b)
proceed against or exhaust any security from the Franchisee; or (c) pursue or exhaust any remedy, including
any legal or equitable relief, against the Franchisee. Without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor under
this Guarantee, the Franchisor may, without notice to any Guarantor, extend, modify, or release any
indebtedness or obligation of the Franchisee, or settle, adjust, or compromise any claims against the
Franchisee. We have the right to require, in the Manual or otherwise in writing, that each Guarantor make any
payment required under the Agreement and this Guarantee directly to it, its affiliates, or to a bank or such
other financial institution account specified by the Franchisor, at the times and with the frequency designated
by the Franchisor, by electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, pre‐authorized auto‐draft arrangement, or
such other means as the Franchisor may specify from time to time, notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Agreement, and each Guarantor agrees to comply with such requirement. Each Guarantor shall furnish
the Franchisor, our bank, or other financial institution, and any other recipient of payment with such
information and authorizations as may be necessary to permit such persons to make withdrawals by electronic
funds transfer, on‐line banking, or auto‐draft arrangement. Each Guarantor shall bear all expenses, if any,
associated with such authorizations and payments. In addition, each Guarantor understands, acknowledges,
and agrees that each of the undersigned will be secondarily liable for any Transferee’s performance under its
franchise agreement; provided, however, that this secondary liability will cease on the later of: (a) the end of
the term of the Transferee’s franchise agreement; or (b) three (3) years after the Transfer. Each Guarantor
understands, acknowledges, and agrees that nothing contained in this Guarantee shall release him, her, or it
of or from any of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Agreement or the Transferee’s obligations under its
franchise agreement, or the obligations of Transferee’s Franchisee Members under the guarantee agreement
executed by such members.
2. Each Guarantor waives notice of amendment of the Agreement and notice of demand for payment by the
Franchisee, and agrees to be bound by any and all such amendments and changes to the Agreement.
3. Each Guarantor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Franchisor harmless against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and
expenses, costs of investigation, and court costs expenses) resulting from, consisting of, or arising out of or in
connection with any failure by the Franchisee to perform any obligation of the Franchisee under the
Agreement, any amendment thereto, or any other agreement executed by the Franchisee referred to therein.
4. Term. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the termination or expiration of all obligations
arising under the Agreement and/or this Guarantee Agreement. All covenants that by their terms continue in
force after the expiration or termination of the Agreement shall remain in force according to their terms.
Upon the death of an individual Guarantor, the estate of such Guarantor shall be bound by this Guarantee, but
only for defaults and obligations hereunder existing at the time of death; and the obligations of the other
Guarantors will continue in full force and effect.
5. Confidential Information. For all time, each Guarantor agrees he shall not communicate, divulge, or use for
the benefit of any other person, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, or other
entity, any confidential information, knowledge, or know‐how concerning the methods of operation of the
Franchised Business (including the Manual, Software, and Phone Number) or any student, parent, or guardian

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

information of the type described in Paragraph 8.7 of the Agreement that may be communicated to any
Guarantor of which such Guarantor may be apprised by virtue of such Guarantor’s operation under the
Agreement or Guarantee. All information, knowledge, know‐how, techniques, and other data that the
Franchisor designates as confidential shall be deemed confidential for purposes of the Agreement and this
Guarantee. If any Guarantor becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Manual or any
confidential information or trade secret of the Franchisor, such Guarantor shall notify the Franchisor
immediately in writing, and the Franchisor shall have the sole and absolute right to take any actions it
determines.
6. Covenants. Each Guarantor agrees that he will receive certain valuable information about the Franchised
Business, including its development and operation and the System, and that this information would not have
been given to any Guarantor, without the undersigned execution of this Guarantee.
6.1. In‐Term Covenant against Competition. Except as otherwise approved in writing by the Franchisor, each
Guarantor covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Guarantee, he shall not, either directly or
indirectly, for himself, or through, on behalf of, or in conjunction with any person or entity: (a) Divert or
attempt to divert any present or prospective business or customer of any Huntington Learning Center® to

changing the ownership of all or substantially all of the assets of the Franchised Business, (b) termination
or expiration of this Agreement (regardless of the cause for termination or expiration), or (c) a final order
of a duly authorized court of competent jurisdiction (after all appeals have been taken) with respect to
any of the foregoing or with respect to enforcement of this Paragraph 6, either directly or indirectly, for
any Guarantor, or through, on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any person or entity: (1) divert or attempt
to divert any present or prospective business or customer of any Huntington Learning Center® to any
competitor, by direct or indirect inducement or otherwise, or do or perform, directly or indirectly, any
other act injurious or prejudicial to the goodwill associated with the Marks or the System; (2) employ or
seek to employ any person who is at that time, or was within one year prior to such date, employed by

employment; or (3) own, maintain, advise, invest in, operate, engage in, be employed by, be a consultant

(ii) that offers tutoring in reading, phonics, study skills, mathematics, or related areas; (iii) that offers

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

any portion of any covenant in this Paragraph 6, without the consent of the Franchisee or any Guarantor,
effective immediately upon receipt by the Franchisee or any Guarantor of written notice; and each
Guarantor shall comply immediately with any covenant as so modified, which shall be fully enforceable
without regard to any other provision of this Paragraph 6. The existence of any claim the Franchisee or
any Guarantor may have against the Franchisor, whether or not arising from the Agreement or this
Guarantee, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Franchisor of the covenants in this
Paragraph 6. Each Guarantor agrees to pay to the Franchisor all costs and expenses, including attorneys’,
accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses, incurred by the Franchisor in connection with, or
related to, enforcement of this Paragraph 6.
6.4. Paragraph 6.2(3) above shall not apply to any Guarantor’s ownership of a less than 5% beneficial interest
in the outstanding equity securities of any corporation which has securities registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
7. Applicable Law; Forum. This Guarantee shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the
state of Delaware, except for such state’s conflict‐of‐law rules. Each Guarantor agrees that the New Jersey
Franchise Practices Act shall not apply to this Guarantee. Except as otherwise provided in this Guarantee, any
action, whether or not arising out of, or relating to, the Agreement or this Guarantee, whenever and wherever
incurred, whether vested or contingent, whether in law or in equity, whether directly, representatively,
derivatively, or in any other capacity, brought by any Guarantor against the Franchisor shall be brought in the
judicial district in which the Franchisor has, at the time of commencement of such action, its principal place of
business. We shall have the right to commence an action against any Guarantor in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Each Guarantor hereby waives all objections to personal jurisdiction or venue for the purpose of
carrying out the purposes of this Guarantee, and each Guarantor agrees that nothing in this Guarantee shall
be deemed to prevent any party to such action from removing the action from state court to federal court.
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guarantee is made in New Jersey and is to be performed in
part through services rendered to the Franchisee in New Jersey.
8. Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor waives the right: to enforce any oral agreement, promise, representation, or
warranty not in this Guarantee; to amend, modify, or suspend any provision of the Agreement or this
Guarantee; to stay the effectiveness of any expiration or termination of the Agreement or this Guarantee or
any other agreement between any Guarantor and the Franchisor or any of its affiliates or any pending
expiration or termination thereof; and to seek damages against the Franchisor because the Franchisor insisted
upon the execution of a general release. No Guarantor shall seek to litigate as a representative of, or on
behalf of, any other person, class, or entity any dispute, controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or
relating to, the Agreement or this Guarantee, the rights and obligations of the parties, the sale of the
franchise, or other claims or causes of action relating to the performance of any party to the Agreement or
this Guarantee. No action or proceeding under this Guarantee shall add as a party, by consolidation, joinder,
or in any other manner, any person or party other than the Guarantor and the Franchisor and any person in
privity with, or claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of, the Guarantor or the Franchisor, unless both
Guarantor and the Franchisor consent in writing. We have the absolute right to refuse such consent.
9. Limitation on Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims by any Guarantor against the Franchisor
arising out of, or relating to, directly or indirectly, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under the
Agreement or this Guarantee may not be commenced by any Guarantor, unless brought before the earlier of
(1) the expiration of one year after the act, transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based; or (2)
one year after the Agreement or this Guarantee expires or is terminated for any reason. Each Guarantor
agrees that any claim or action not brought by any Guarantor within the periods required under this
Guarantee shall forever be barred as a claim, counterclaim, defense, or set off.
10. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES TO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ABOUT ANY AND ALL ISSUES THAT ARISE OUT OF, CONCERN,
OR RELATE TO, THE AGREEMENT OR THIS GUARANTEE, ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED IN THE
AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE, EACH GUARANTOR’S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS GUARANTEE, OR
OTHERWISE, DURING THE TERM OF THIS GUARANTEE AND AFTERWARDS. EACH GUARANTOR AND THE

HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTERS, INC. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT EXHIBIT A, Page 4

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

FRANCHISOR MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS GUARANTEE WITH ANY COURT AS
WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF EACH GUARANTOR’S AND OUR CONSENT TO THE WAIVER OF A TRIAL BY JURY. EACH
GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT HE HAS HAD FULL AND ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO
CONSULT WITH, AND BE ADVISED BY, COUNSEL OF HIS OWN CHOOSING ABOUT THE TRANSACTION
GOVERNED BY THE AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE TERMS OF THIS
GUARANTEE, WHICH CONCERNS THE WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY BY EACH GUARANTOR AND THE
FRANCHISOR. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT HIS REPRESENTATIONS SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR
TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTEE.
11. Limitation on Remedies. During the term of this Guarantee and afterwards, each Guarantor waives to the
fullest extent permitted by law any right to, or claim for, any punitive, speculative, exemplary, incidental,
indirect, special, or consequential damages against the Franchisor and all of its affiliates and each of their past
and present stockholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents arising out of any cause whatsoever that
arises out of, concerns, or relates to, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under, directly or
indirectly, the Agreement and this Guarantee, whether such cause is based in contract, negligence, strict
liability, other tort, or otherwise, including any Guarantor’s claim or counterclaim that the Franchisor
unreasonably gave, withheld, or delayed its consent or approval to anything.
12. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee, the Franchisor has the right to
seek specific performance of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee or injunctive relief against any
conduct that will cause it loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or threatened
breach of this Guarantee, without the need to show monetary damages and without posting a bond. Such
conduct includes any use by any Guarantor relating to the Marks, the System, the Manual, or our trade
secrets. An application for such a remedy shall not be deemed an election or a waiver of any other remedy
under this Guarantee or at law or in equity. The Franchisor may file an original counterpart or a copy of this
Guarantee with any court as written evidence of the undersigned’s consent to the issuance of injunctive relief.
13. Costs and fees. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, in any judicial or administrative action,
order, or proceeding hereunder involving any Guarantor and the Franchisor during the term of this Guarantee
or thereafter, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its out‐of‐pocket costs and expenses, including
all court costs and attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses.
14. Miscellaneous. Each article, paragraph, subparagraph, term, condition, and covenant of this Guarantee and all
portions of them shall be considered severable. If, for any reason, any portion of this Guarantee is determined
to be unconscionable or unenforceable or invalid, contrary to, or in conflict with, any applicable present or
future law, rule, or regulation in a final unappealed ruling issued by any court, agency, or tribunal with valid
jurisdiction in an action or proceeding to which the Franchisor is a party, that ruling shall not impair the
operation of, or have any other effect upon, any other portion of this Guarantee, all of which shall remain
binding on each Guarantor and the Franchisor and shall continue to be given full force and effect. Any invalid
portion shall be deemed not to be a part of this Guarantee as of the date on which the ruling becomes final, if
any Guarantor is a party to this action or proceeding, or on such Guarantor’s receipt of notice of non‐
enforcement from the Franchisor. Each Guarantor agrees to be bound by any promise or covenant imposing
the maximum duty permitted by law that is subsumed within the terms of any provision hereof, as though it
were separately articulated in, and made a part of, this Guarantee, that may result from striking from any of
the provisions hereof any portion or portions that a court or agency having valid jurisdiction may hold to be
unreasonable and unenforceable in an unappealed final decision to which the Franchisor is a party, or from
reducing the scope of any promise or covenant to the extent required to comply with such a court or agency
order. Any defined term used in this Guarantee shall have the same meaning as defined in the Agreement.
Article, paragraph, and subparagraph captions are for convenience only and are not part of this Guarantee and
do not define, limit, or construe their contents. Words of any gender shall include masculine, feminine, and
neuter usages and, where the context requires, words in the singular or plural shall include the other. The
language in all parts of this Guarantee shall be construed simply according to its fair and plain meaning and
not strictly for or against any Guarantor or the Franchisor. If any provision of this Guarantee is capable of two
constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the
provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning that renders it valid. This Guarantee may be

EXHIBIT C
GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

In consideration of, and in order to induce Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. (the "Franchisor") to execute the
Development Agreement (the "Agreement"), each of the undersigned (the “Guarantors”) personally,
unconditionally, and irrevocably, jointly and severally, accept and agree that they shall be bound by, and perform
according to, each and all of the provisions, covenants, and conditions of the Agreement executed between the
Franchisor and ________________________________________________________________________________,
the Developer (as defined in the Agreement). Unless specifically stated otherwise, the terms used in this
Guarantee shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement. Each Guarantor personally, unconditionally, and
irrevocably, jointly and severally, accepts and agrees as follows:

1. Upon demand by the Franchisor, each Guarantor will immediately make each payment required of the
Developer under the Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to require the Franchisor to: (a)
proceed against the Developer for any payment required under the Agreement; (b) proceed against or exhaust
any security from the Developer; or (c) pursue or exhaust any remedy, including any legal or equitable relief,
against the Developer. Without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee, the
Franchisor may, without notice to any Guarantor, extend, modify, or release any indebtedness or obligation of
the Developer, or settle, adjust, or compromise any claims against the Developer. The Franchisor has the right
to require, in the Manual or otherwise in writing, that each Guarantor make any payment required under the
Agreement and this Guarantee directly to it, its affiliates, or to a bank or such other financial institution
account specified by the Franchisor, at the times and with the frequency designated by the Franchisor, by
electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, pre‐authorized auto‐draft arrangement, or such other means as the
Franchisor may specify from time to time, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, and each
Guarantor agrees to comply with such requirement. Each Guarantor shall furnish the Franchisor, the
Franchisor’s bank, or other financial institution, and any other recipient of payment with such information and
authorizations as may be necessary to permit such persons to make withdrawals by electronic funds transfer,
on‐line banking, or auto‐draft arrangement. Each Guarantor shall bear all expenses, if any, associated with
such authorizations and payments.

2. Each Guarantor waives notice of amendment of the Agreement and notice of demand for payment by the
Developer, and agrees to be bound by any and all such amendments and changes to the Agreement.

3. Each Guarantor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Franchisor harmless against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and
expenses, costs of investigation, and court costs expenses) resulting from, consisting of, or arising out of or in
connection with any failure by the Developer to perform any obligation of the Developer under the
Agreement, any amendment thereto, or any other agreement executed by the Developer referred to therein.

4. Term. This Guarantee shall terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement, except that all
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor that arose from events that occurred on or before the effective
date of such termination shall remain in full force and effect until satisfied or discharged by each Guarantor,
and all covenants that by their terms continue in force after the expiration or termination of the Agreement
shall remain in force according to their terms. Upon the death of an individual Guarantor, the estate of such
Guarantor shall be bound by this Guarantee, but only for defaults and obligations hereunder existing at the
time of death; and the obligations of the other Guarantors will continue in full force and effect.

5. Confidential Information. For all time, each Guarantor agrees he shall not communicate, divulge, or use for
the benefit of any other person, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, or other
entity, any confidential information, knowledge, or know‐how concerning the methods of operation of the
Franchised Business (including the Manual, Software, and Phone Number, as such terms are defined in the
Franchise Agreement) that may be communicated to any Guarantor of which such Guarantor may be apprised

EXHIBIT C
GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

by virtue of such Guarantor’s operation under the Agreement or Guarantee. All information, knowledge,
know‐how, techniques, and other data that the Franchisor designates as confidential shall be deemed
confidential for purposes of the Agreement and this Guarantee. If any Guarantor becomes aware of any
unauthorized disclosure or use of the Manual or any confidential information or trade secret of the Franchisor,
such Guarantor shall notify the Franchisor immediately in writing, and the Franchisor shall have the sole and
absolute right to take any actions it determines.

6. Applicable Law; Forum. This Guarantee shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the
state of Delaware, except for such state’s conflict‐of‐law rules. Each Guarantor agrees that the New Jersey
Franchise Practices Act shall not apply to this Guarantee. Except as otherwise provided in this Guarantee, any
action, whether or not arising out of, or relating to, the Agreement or this Guarantee, whenever and wherever
incurred, whether vested or contingent, whether in law or in equity, whether directly, representatively,
derivatively, or in any other capacity, brought by any Guarantor against the Franchisor shall be brought in the
judicial district in which the Franchisor has, at the time of commencement of such action, its principal place of
business. The Franchisor shall have the right to commence an action against any Guarantor in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Each Guarantor hereby waives all objections to personal jurisdiction or venue for the
purpose of carrying out the purposes of this Guarantee, and each Guarantor agrees that nothing in this
Guarantee shall be deemed to prevent any party to such action from removing the action from state court to
federal court. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guarantee is made in New Jersey and is to
be performed in part through services rendered to the Developer in New Jersey.

7. Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor waives the right: to enforce any oral agreement, promise, representation, or
warranty not in this Guarantee; to amend, modify, or suspend any provision of the Agreement or this
Guarantee; to stay the effectiveness of any expiration or termination of the Agreement or this Guarantee or
any other agreement between any Guarantor and the Franchisor or any of its affiliates or any pending
expiration or termination thereof; and to seek damages against the Franchisor because the Franchisor insisted
upon the execution of a general release. No Guarantor shall seek to litigate as a representative of, or on
behalf of, any other person, class, or entity any dispute, controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or
relating to, the Agreement or this Guarantee, the rights and obligations of the parties, the sale of the
franchise, or other claims or causes of action relating to the performance of any party to the Agreement or
this Guarantee. No action or proceeding under this Guarantee shall add as a party, by consolidation, joinder,
or in any other manner, any person or party other than the Guarantor and the Franchisor and any person in
privity with, or claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of, the Guarantor or the Franchisor, unless both
Guarantor and the Franchisor consent in writing. The Franchisor has the absolute right to refuse such consent.

8. Limitation on Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims by any Guarantor against the Franchisor
arising out of, or relating to, directly or indirectly, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under the
Agreement or this Guarantee may not be commenced by any Guarantor, unless brought before the earlier of
(1) the expiration of one year after the act, transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based; or (2)
one year after the Agreement or this Guarantee expires or is terminated for any reason. Each Guarantor
agrees that any claim or action not brought by any Guarantor within the periods required under this
Guarantee shall forever be barred as a claim, counterclaim, defense, or set off.

9. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES TO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ABOUT ANY AND ALL ISSUES THAT ARISE OUT OF, CONCERN,
OR RELATE TO, THE AGREEMENT OR THIS GUARANTEE, ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED IN THE
AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE, EACH GUARANTOR’S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS GUARANTEE, OR
OTHERWISE, DURING THE TERM OF THIS GUARANTEE AND AFTERWARDS. EACH GUARANTOR AND THE
FRANCHISOR MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS GUARANTEE WITH ANY COURT AS

EXHIBIT C
GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF EACH GUARANTOR’S AND THE FRANCHISOR’S CONSENT TO THE WAIVER OF A TRIAL
BY JURY. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT HE HAS HAD FULL AND ADEQUATE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH, AND BE ADVISED BY, COUNSEL OF HIS OWN CHOOSING ABOUT THE
TRANSACTION GOVERNED BY THE AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE TERMS
OF THIS GUARANTEE, WHICH CONCERNS THE WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY BY EACH GUARANTOR AND
THE FRANCHISOR. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT HIS REPRESENTATIONS SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION
OR TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTEE.

10. Limitation on Remedies. During the term of this Guarantee and afterwards, each Guarantor waives to the
fullest extent permitted by law any right to, or claim for, any punitive, speculative, exemplary, incidental,
indirect, special, or consequential damages against the Franchisor and all of its affiliates and each of their past
and present stockholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents arising out of any cause whatsoever that
arises out of, concerns, or relates to, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under, directly or
indirectly, the Agreement and this Guarantee, whether such cause is based in contract, negligence, strict
liability, other tort, or otherwise, including any Guarantor’s claim or counterclaim that the Franchisor
unreasonably gave, withheld, or delayed its consent or approval to anything.

11. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee, the Franchisor has the right to
seek specific performance of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee or injunctive relief against any
conduct that will cause it loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or threatened
breach of this Guarantee, without the need to show monetary damages and without posting a bond. Such
conduct includes any use by any Guarantor relating to the Marks, the System, the Manual, or the Franchisor’s
trade secrets. An application for such a remedy shall not be deemed an election or a waiver of any other
remedy under this Guarantee or at law or in equity. The Franchisor may file an original counterpart or a copy
of this Guarantee with any court as written evidence of the undersigned’s consent to the issuance of
injunctive relief.

12. Costs and fees. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, in any judicial or administrative action,
order, or proceeding hereunder involving any Guarantor and the Franchisor during the term of this Guarantee
or thereafter, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its out‐of‐pocket costs and expenses, including
all court costs and attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses.

13. Notices. All notices to any Guarantor and the Franchisor during the term of this Guarantee and afterwards
shall be in writing and shall be sent to the other party by registered or certified mail, postage fully prepaid,
return receipt requested, or sent by other means that affords the sender evidence of delivery, attempted
delivery, or rejected delivery, addressed to such party’s address for notices as identified in the Agreement, or
at any other address that any Guarantor or the Franchisor designates in writing, provided, however, that no
notices shall be sent hereunder by email or by telefax and no Guarantor shall designate any address that is a
post office box. Notices shall be deemed delivered and received on the earliest of actual receipt; 5 business
days after placement in the U.S. mail; or one business day after mailing, if placed in the U.S. mail or a courier
service for next business day delivery. If no address is entered for the Guarantors below, the Franchisor may
send all notices to all Guarantors to the Franchisee’s address for notice.

14. Signatories sign as individuals. Each signatory to this Guarantee executes it as an individual and not in any
capacity as an officer, director, shareholder, or member of the Franchisee or of any other entity. Any title any
signatory afixes hereunder is non‐binding and is of no effect under this Guarantee.

make any claim or counterclaim against us during the term of this Agreement in any manner other than the
manner described in this Paragraph 10. If, during the term of this Agreement, you have any claim against us or
any of our affiliates or our or their present or past directors, stockholders, officers, employees, or agents,
including any claim related to Transfer hereunder, any claim that we failed to meet any obligation under this
Agreement, defaulted under this Agreement, or did not perform under this Agreement, then you shall notify
us in writing of this claim. This written notice shall describe the claim, provide an opportunity to cure,
describe the manner in which you request that we cure, and provide a period (the “Cure Period”) within which
we may cure such alleged default of at least 60 days. Your written notice shall be delivered to us in the
manner described in Paragraph 28 below. If your notice is not in writing, and does not (1) describe the claim,
(2) provide an opportunity to cure, (3) describe the manner in which you request that we cure, and (4) provide
a Cure Period of at least 60 days, then your notice shall be deemed to be (a) deficient, (b) not a claim upon

this Agreement or otherwise, and (e) not grounds for your termination of this Agreement. If you do not file a
legal action for such claim, as described in Paragraph 9 above within 30 days after the expiration of the Cure
Period, then you shall have evidenced conclusively that you have no claim against us and our affiliates and our
and their respective present and past directors, stockholders, officers, employees, and agents; and you shall
have evidenced conclusively that any claim you may have had is not a claim upon which we are required to
act, is not an actionable claim, is not grounds for your seeking any remedy under this Agreement or otherwise,

not in this Agreement; to amend, modify, or suspend any provision of this Agreement; to stay the
effectiveness of any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any other agreement between you and us
or any pending expiration or termination thereof; and to seek damages against us because we insisted upon
the execution of a general release or refused its consent or approval under this Agreement. Neither you nor
we shall seek to litigate as a representative of, or on behalf of, any other person, class, or entity any dispute,
controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the
parties, the sale of the franchise, or other claims or causes of action relating to the performance of either
party to this Agreement. No action or proceeding under this Agreement shall add as a party, by consolidation,
joinder, or in any other manner, any person or party other than you and us and any person in privity with, or
claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of, you or us, unless both you and we consent in writing. We
have the absolute right to refuse such consent.
12. Limitation on Claims. You and we agree that any and all claims by you against us arising out of, or relating to,
directly or indirectly, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under this Agreement may not be
commenced by you, unless brought before the earlier of (1) the expiration of one year after the act,
transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based; or (2) one year after this Agreement expires or is
terminated for any reason. You agree that any claim or action not brought by you within the periods required
under this Paragraph 12 shall forever be barred as a claim, counterclaim, defense, or set off.
13. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND THE FRANCHISOR AGREE TO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ABOUT ANY AND ALL ISSUES THAT ARISE OUT OF, CONCERN,
OR RELATE TO, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR
PERFORMANCE OR OUR PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE, DURING THE TERM OF
THIS AGREEMENT AND AFTERWARDS. YOU AND WE MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF

AND BE BY, COUNSEL OF YOUR OWN CHOOSING ABOUT THE TRANSACTION GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT
AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE TERMS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 13 WHICH CONCERNS THE WAIVER OF RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY BY YOU AND US. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT YOUR REPRESENTATIONS SHALL SURVIVE THE
EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

extent permitted by law any right to, or claim for, any punitive, speculative, exemplary, incidental, indirect,

specific performance of any of your obligations under this Agreement or injunctive relief against any conduct
that will cause us loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement without the need to show monetary damages and without posting a bond. An application for
such a remedy shall not be deemed an election or a waiver of any other remedy. We may file an original
counterpart or a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of your consent to the issuance of
injunctive relief.
17. Fees and Costs. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, in any judicial or administrative action,

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 1

In consideration of, and in order to induce Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. (the "Franchisor") to execute the
Conference Service License Agreement (the "Agreement"), each of the undersigned (the “Guarantors”) personally,
unconditionally, and irrevocably, jointly and severally, accept and agree that they shall be bound by, and perform
according to, each and all of the provisions, covenants, and conditions of the Agreement executed between the
Franchisor and NameZee, the Franchisee (as defined in the Agreement), for the use of the Coaching Center. Unless
specifically stated otherwise, the terms used in this Guarantee shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement.
Each Guarantor personally, unconditionally, and irrevocably, jointly and severally, accepts and agrees as follows:
1. Upon demand by the Franchisor, each Guarantor will immediately make each payment required of the
Franchisee under the Agreement to the Franchisor, customers, vendors, and any other individual or Legal
Entity to whom the Franchisee owes any payment. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to require the
Franchisor to: (a) proceed against the Franchisee for any payment required under the Agreement; (b) proceed
against or exhaust any security from the Franchisee; or (c) pursue or exhaust any remedy, including any legal
or equitable relief, against the Franchisee. Without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor under this
Guarantee, the Franchisor may, without notice to any Guarantor, extend, modify, or release any indebtedness
or obligation of the Franchisee, or settle, adjust, or compromise any claims against the Franchisee. The
Franchisor has the right to require, in the Manual or otherwise in writing, that each Guarantor make any
payment required under the Agreement and this Guarantee directly to it, its affiliates, or to a bank or such
other financial institution account specified by the Franchisor, at the times and with the frequency designated
by the Franchisor, by electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, pre‐authorized auto‐draft arrangement, or
such other means as the Franchisor may specify from time to time, notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Agreement, and each Guarantor agrees to comply with such requirement. Each Guarantor shall furnish
the Franchisor, the Franchisor’s bank, or other financial institution, and any other recipient of payment with
such information and authorizations as may be necessary to permit such persons to make withdrawals by
electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, or auto‐draft arrangement. Each Guarantor shall bear all expenses,
if any, associated with such authorizations and payments.
2. Each Guarantor waives notice of amendment of the Agreement and notice of demand for payment by the
Franchisee, and agrees to be bound by any and all such amendments and changes to the Agreement.
3. Each Guarantor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Franchisor harmless against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and
expenses, costs of investigation, and court costs expenses) resulting from, consisting of, or arising out of or in
connection with any failure by the Franchisee to perform any obligation of the Franchisee under the
Agreement, any amendment thereto, or any other agreement executed by the Franchisee referred to therein.
In each instance, the words “include”, “included”, and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the
words, “without limitation”.
4. Term. This Guarantee shall terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement, except that all
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor that arose from events that occurred on or before the effective
date of such termination shall remain in full force and effect until satisfied or discharged by each Guarantor,
and all covenants that by their terms continue in force after the expiration or termination of the Agreement
shall remain in force according to their terms. Upon the death of an individual Guarantor, the estate of such
Guarantor shall be bound by this Guarantee, but only for defaults and obligations hereunder existing at the
time of death; and the obligations of the other Guarantors will continue in full force and effect.
5. Confidential Information. For all time, each Guarantor agrees he shall not communicate, divulge, or use for

Guarantee; to stay the effectiveness of any expiration or termination of the Agreement or this Guarantee or

upon the execution of a general release. No Guarantor shall seek to litigate as a representative of, or on
behalf of, any other person, class, or entity any dispute, controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or
relating to, the Agreement or this Guarantee, the rights and obligations of the parties, the sale of the

or in any other manner, any person or party other than the Guarantor and the Franchisor and any person in
privity with, or claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of, the Guarantor or the Franchisor, unless both
Guarantor and the Franchisor consent in writing. The Franchisor has the absolute right to refuse such consent.

(1) the expiration of one year after the act, transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based; or (2)
one year after the Agreement or this Guarantee expires or is terminated for any reason. Each Guarantor
agrees that any claim or action not brought by any Guarantor within the periods required under this
Guarantee shall forever be barred as a claim, counterclaim, defense, or set off.

PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ABOUT ANY AND ALL ISSUES THAT ARISE OUT OF, CONCERN,

OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH, AND BE ADVISED BY, COUNSEL OF HIS OWN CHOOSING ABOUT THE
TRANSACTION GOVERNED BY THE AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE TERMS
OF THIS GUARANTEE, WHICH CONCERNS THE WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY BY EACH GUARANTOR AND
THE FRANCHISOR. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT HIS REPRESENTATIONS SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION
OR TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTEE.
10. Limitation on Remedies. During the term of this Guarantee and afterwards, each Guarantor waives to the
fullest extent permitted by law any right to, or claim for, any punitive, speculative, exemplary, incidental,
indirect, special, or consequential damages against the Franchisor and all of its affiliates and each of their past
and present stockholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents arising out of any cause whatsoever that
arises out of, concerns, or relates to, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under, directly or
indirectly, the Agreement and this Guarantee, whether such cause is based in contract, negligence, strict
liability, other tort, or otherwise, including any Guarantor’s claim or counterclaim that the Franchisor
unreasonably gave, withheld, or delayed its consent or approval to anything.
11. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee, the Franchisor has the right to

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012

seek specific performance of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee or injunctive relief against any
conduct that will cause it loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or threatened
breach of this Guarantee, without the need to show monetary damages and without posting a bond. Such
conduct includes any use by any Guarantor relating to the Marks, the System, the Manual, or the Franchisor’s
trade secrets. An application for such a remedy shall not be deemed an election or a waiver of any other
remedy under this Guarantee or at law or in equity. The Franchisor may file an original counterpart or a copy
of this Guarantee with any court as written evidence of the undersigned’s consent to the issuance of
injunctive relief.
12. Costs and fees. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, in any judicial or administrative action,

licenses to others to use the Call Center upon other or different terms at any time and in any location. We

shall bear daily interest at the rate of 18% per annum, but no more than the highest rate permitted
by applicable law. You shall have no right to withhold any payment of any Monthly Use Fee, AE Fee,

hereunder or otherwise) and shall have no right to set‐off any amount due to us or our affiliates
against any monetary claim against us or our affiliates. We have the right to require, in the Call

directly to us, our affiliates, or to a bank or such other financial institution account we specify, at the
times and with the frequency we designate, by electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, pre‐
authorized auto‐draft arrangement, or such other means as we may specify from time to time,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, and you agree to comply fully and timely
with such requirement. You shall furnish us, our bank, or other financial institution, and any other

arrangement. You shall bear all expenses, if any, associated with such authorizations and payments.

expenses, fees, and charges, including, for example, telephone charges, not expressly included under
this Agreement. We are not obligated to purchase or buy back anything you may lease, acquire,
purchase, or license, whether or not you leased, acquired, purchased, or licensed any such thing at
our direction. You agree to reimburse us for any fees imposed on us or our affiliates by any third
party to process any payment you make to us under this Agreement. Such third party fees include
any fees imposed by a bank or credit card company to process any credit card payment you make to
us or our affiliates.

amended from time to time, and in no other way. The License may be used only by you and your

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 6

manner described in this Paragraph 13. If, during the term of this Agreement, you have any claim against us or
any of our affiliates or our or their present or past directors, stockholders, officers, employees, or agents,
including any claim that we failed to meet any obligation under this Agreement, defaulted under this
Agreement, or did not perform under this Agreement, then you shall notify us in writing of this claim. This
written notice shall describe the claim, provide an opportunity to cure, describe the manner in which you
request that we cure, and provide a Cure Period within which we may cure such alleged default of at least 60
days. Your written notice shall be delivered to us in the manner described in Paragraph 31 below. If your
notice is not in writing, and does not (1) describe the claim, (2) provide an opportunity to cure, (3) describe the
manner in which you request that we cure, and (4) provide a Cure Period of at least 60 days, then your notice
shall be deemed to be (a) deficient, (b) not a claim upon which we are required to act, (c) not an actionable
claim, (d) not grounds for your seeking any remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, and (e) not grounds
for your termination of this Agreement. If you do not file a legal action for such claim, as described in
Paragraph 12 above within 30 days after the expiration of the Cure Period, then you shall have evidenced
conclusively that you have no claim against us and our affiliates and our and their respective present and past
directors, stockholders, officers, employees, and agents; and you shall have evidenced conclusively that any
claim you may have had is not a claim upon which we are required to act, is not an actionable claim, is not
grounds for your seeking any remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, and is not grounds for termination
by you of this Agreement; and you shall be deemed to have agreed to have waived any right you may have
had to initiate any future claim against us for the same cause.
14. Waiver of Rights. You waive the right: to enforce any oral agreement, promise, representation, or warranty
not in this Agreement; to amend, modify, or suspend any provision of this Agreement; to stay the
effectiveness of any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any other agreement between you and us
or any pending expiration or termination thereof; and to seek damages against us because we insisted upon
the execution of a general release or refused its consent or approval under this Agreement. Neither you nor
we shall seek to litigate as a representative of, or on behalf of, any other person, class, or entity any dispute,
controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the
parties, the sale of the franchise, or other claims or causes of action relating to the performance of either
party to this Agreement. No action or proceeding under this Agreement shall add as a party, by consolidation,
joinder, or in any other manner, any person or party other than you and us and any person in privity with, or
claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of, you or us, unless both you and we consent in writing. We
have the absolute right to refuse such consent.
15. Limitation on Claims. You and we agree that any and all claims by you against us arising out of, or relating to,
directly or indirectly, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under this Agreement may not be
commenced by you, unless brought before the earlier of (1) the expiration of one year after the act,
transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based; or (2) one year after this Agreement expires or is

that will cause us loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement without the need to show monetary damages and without posting a bond. An application for

them. You shall advise us if a notice is received that a claim has been or may be filed with respect to a matter
covered by this Agreement, and you shall immediately assume the defense thereof at your sole cost and

Exhibit A. Guarantee

In consideration of, and in order to induce Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. ("Huntington”, "Franchisor", "we",
"us", and "our") to execute the Call Center License Agreement (the "Agreement"), each of the undersigned (the
“Guarantors”) personally, unconditionally, and irrevocably, jointly and severally, accept and agree that they shall
be bound by, and perform according to, each and all of the provisions, covenants, and conditions of the Agreement
executed between the Franchisor and NameZee, the Franchisee (as defined in the Agreement), for the use of the
Call Center. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the terms used in this Guarantee shall have the same meaning as
in the Agreement. Each Guarantor personally, unconditionally, and irrevocably, jointly and severally, accepts and
agrees as follows:
1. Upon Franchisor demand, each Guarantor will immediately make each payment required of the Franchisee
under the Agreement to the Franchisor, customers, vendors, and any other individual or Legal Entity to whom
the Franchisee owes any payment. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to require the Franchisor to: (a)
proceed against the Franchisee for any payment required under the Agreement; (b) proceed against or
exhaust any security from the Franchisee; or (c) pursue or exhaust any remedy, including any legal or
equitable relief, against the Franchisee. Without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor under this
Guarantee, the Franchisor may, without notice to any Guarantor, extend, modify, or release any indebtedness
or obligation of the Franchisee, or settle, adjust, or compromise any claims against the Franchisee. The
Franchisor has the right to require, in the Manual or otherwise in writing, that each Guarantor make any
payment required under the Agreement and this Guarantee directly to it, its affiliates, or to a bank or such
other financial institution account specified by the Franchisor, at the times and with the frequency designated
by the Franchisor, by electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, pre‐authorized auto‐draft arrangement, or
such other means as the Franchisor may specify from time to time, notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Agreement, and each Guarantor agrees to comply with such requirement. Each Guarantor shall furnish
the Franchisor, the Franchisor’s bank, or other financial institution, and any other recipient of payment with
such information and authorizations as may be necessary to permit such persons to make withdrawals by
electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, or auto‐draft arrangement. Each Guarantor shall bear all expenses,
if any, associated with such authorizations and payments.
2. Each Guarantor waives notice of amendment of the Agreement and notice of demand for payment by the
Franchisee, and agrees to be bound by any and all such amendments and changes to the Agreement.
3. Each Guarantor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Franchisor harmless against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’, accountants’, and consultants’ fees, costs, and
expenses, costs of investigation, and court costs expenses) resulting from, consisting of, or arising out of or in
connection with any failure by the Franchisee to perform any obligation of the Franchisee under the
Agreement, any amendment thereto, or any other agreement executed by the Franchisee referred to therein.
In each instance, the words “include”, “included”, and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the
words, “without limitation”.
4. Term. This Guarantee shall terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement, except that all
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor that arose from events that occurred on or before the effective
date of such termination shall remain in full force and effect until satisfied or discharged by each Guarantor,
and all covenants that by their terms continue in force after the expiration or termination of the Agreement
shall remain in force according to their terms. Upon the death of an individual Guarantor, the estate of such
Guarantor shall be bound by this Guarantee, but only for defaults and obligations hereunder existing at the
time of death; and the obligations of the other Guarantors will continue in full force and effect.
5. Confidential Information. For all time, each Guarantor agrees he shall not communicate, divulge, or use for
the benefit of any other person, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, or other
entity, any confidential information, knowledge, or know‐how concerning the methods of operation of the
Franchised Business (including the Call Center Standards) that may be communicated to any Guarantor of
which such Guarantor may be apprised by virtue of such Guarantor’s operation under the Agreement or
Guarantee. All information, knowledge, know‐how, techniques, and other data that the Franchisor designates
as confidential shall be deemed confidential for purposes of the Agreement and this Guarantee. If any

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 2

Exhibit A. Guarantee

Guarantor becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Call Center Standards or any
confidential information or trade secret of the Franchisor, such Guarantor shall notify the Franchisor
immediately in writing, and the Franchisor shall have the sole and absolute right to take any actions it
determines.
6. Applicable Law; Forum. This Guarantee shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the
state of Delaware, except for such state’s conflict‐of‐law rules. Each Guarantor agrees that the New Jersey
Franchise Practices Act shall not apply to this Guarantee. Except as otherwise provided in this Guarantee, any
action, whether or not arising out of, or relating to, the Agreement or this Guarantee, whenever and wherever
incurred, whether vested or contingent, whether in law or in equity, whether directly, representatively,
derivatively, or in any other capacity, brought by any Guarantor against the Franchisor shall be brought in the
judicial district in which the Franchisor has, at the time of commencement of such action, its principal place of
business. The Franchisor shall have the right to commence an action against any Guarantor in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Each Guarantor hereby waives all objections to personal jurisdiction or venue for the
purpose of carrying out the purposes of this Guarantee, and each Guarantor agrees that nothing in this
Guarantee shall be deemed to prevent any party to such action from removing the action from state court to
federal court. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guarantee is made in New Jersey and is to
be performed in part through services rendered to the Franchisee in New Jersey.
7. Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor waives the right: to enforce any oral agreement, promise, representation, or
warranty not in this Guarantee; to amend, modify, or suspend any provision of the Agreement or this
Guarantee; to stay the effectiveness of any expiration or termination of the Agreement or this Guarantee or
any other agreement between any Guarantor and the Franchisor or any of its affiliates or any pending
expiration or termination thereof; and to seek damages against the Franchisor because the Franchisor insisted
upon the execution of a general release. No Guarantor shall seek to litigate as a representative of, or on
behalf of, any other person, class, or entity any dispute, controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or
relating to, the Agreement or this Guarantee, the rights and obligations of the parties, the sale of the
franchise, or other claims or causes of action relating to the performance of any party to the Agreement or
this Guarantee. No action or proceeding under this Guarantee shall add as a party, by consolidation, joinder,
or in any other manner, any person or party other than the Guarantor and the Franchisor and any person in
privity with, or claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of, the Guarantor or the Franchisor, unless both
Guarantor and the Franchisor consent in writing. The Franchisor has the absolute right to refuse such consent.
8. Limitation on Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims by any Guarantor against the Franchisor
arising out of, or relating to, directly or indirectly, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under the
Agreement or this Guarantee may not be commenced by any Guarantor, unless brought before the earlier of
(1) the expiration of one year after the act, transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based; or (2)
one year after the Agreement or this Guarantee expires or is terminated for any reason. Each Guarantor
agrees that any claim or action not brought by any Guarantor within the periods required under this
Guarantee shall forever be barred as a claim, counterclaim, defense, or set off.
9. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES TO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ABOUT ANY AND ALL ISSUES THAT ARISE OUT OF, CONCERN,
OR RELATE TO, THE AGREEMENT OR THIS GUARANTEE, ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED IN THE
AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE, EACH GUARANTOR’S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS GUARANTEE, OR
OTHERWISE, DURING THE TERM OF THIS GUARANTEE AND AFTERWARDS. EACH GUARANTOR AND THE
FRANCHISOR MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS GUARANTEE WITH ANY COURT AS
WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF EACH GUARANTOR’S AND THE FRANCHISOR’S CONSENT TO THE WAIVER OF A TRIAL
BY JURY. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT HE HAS HAD FULL AND ADEQUATE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH, AND BE ADVISED BY, COUNSEL OF HIS OWN CHOOSING ABOUT THE
TRANSACTION GOVERNED BY THE AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE TERMS
OF THIS GUARANTEE, WHICH CONCERNS THE WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY BY EACH GUARANTOR AND
THE FRANCHISOR. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT HIS REPRESENTATIONS SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION
OR TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTEE.

Exhibit A. Guarantee

10. Limitation on Remedies. During the term of this Guarantee and afterwards, each Guarantor waives to the
fullest extent permitted by law any right to, or claim for, any punitive, speculative, exemplary, incidental,
indirect, special, or consequential damages against the Franchisor and all of its affiliates and each of their past
and present stockholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents arising out of any cause whatsoever that
arises out of, concerns, or relates to, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under, directly or
indirectly, the Agreement and this Guarantee, whether such cause is based in contract, negligence, strict
liability, other tort, or otherwise, including any Guarantor’s claim or counterclaim that the Franchisor
unreasonably gave, withheld, or delayed its consent or approval to anything.
11. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee, the Franchisor has the right to
seek specific performance of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee or injunctive relief against any
conduct that will cause it loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or threatened
breach of this Guarantee, without the need to show monetary damages and without posting a bond. Such
conduct includes any use by any Guarantor relating to the Marks, the System, the Manual, or the Franchisor’s
trade secrets. An application for such a remedy shall not be deemed an election or a waiver of any other
remedy under this Guarantee or at law or in equity. The Franchisor may file an original counterpart or a copy
of this Guarantee with any court as written evidence of the undersigned’s consent to the issuance of

(“Huntington”, “Franchisor”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a corporation incorporated in Delaware with principal business
address at 496 Kinderkamack Road, Oradell, New Jersey 07649 or its successors and assigns, and (in the following
space, enter the Franchisee’s name) ________________________________________________________________
you, the Franchisee, (in the following space, insert one of individual or partnership or corporation, or limited
liability company) _________________________ with your principal office located at (in the following space, enter
the Franchisee’s street address, town, and ZIP Code) __________________________________________________
in the state of (in the following space, enter the Franchisee’s state of incorporation or residence, as applicable)
___________. As used in this Amendment, "you” and "Franchisee", mean the individuals, corporation, partnership,
or limited liability company, jointly and severally, referenced as "Franchisee" in this paragraph of this Amendment.

Based upon the representations, warranties, and covenants in this Amendment and subject to this Amendment,
you and we agree as follows:

1. Franchise. You and we have entered into that certain franchise agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) dated
_____________________ regarding the operation of a Huntington Learning Center® (the “Franchised
Business”). The term of this Amendment begins on the Amendment Date and shall be for the unexpired term
of the Franchise Agreement, unless sooner terminated according to its terms or the terms of the Franchise
Agreement.

2. Grant. You are renewing, or are an assignee of, a franchise agreement with a territory. We grant you the
right to continue operating your Franchised Business within the geographic area described in Exhibit A to this
Amendment (the “Territory”), under the terms and conditions in the Franchise Agreement and this
Amendment. You and we agree as follows: to be bound by the Franchise Agreement and this Amendment;
you shall operate your Franchised Business only from a single location within the boundaries of the Territory;
if any portion of your Territory’s boundary can be interpreted in more than one way, then the interpretation
producing the smallest geographic area shall apply; we have not made, and do not make, any representation
or forecast about your Territory or the success or profitability of your Franchised Business in it. The name and
description of the Territory is attached to Exhibit A of this Amendment and made a part hereof.

3. Amendment. If you have executed this Amendment and have elected to include a Territory in the Franchise
Agreement, your Franchise Agreement shall be amended as described in this Paragraph 3 as follows:

3.1. Each reference to “Exclusive Area” in the Franchise Agreement shall be deemed to mean “Territory,”
except as otherwise amended in this Amendment.

3.2. Paragraph 1.2.23 of the Franchise Agreement is deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following
language: “1.2.23 Territory. “Territory” shall mean the geographic area selected by you and approved
by us within which you shall operate one Franchised Business, as described and defined by map or
written description in Exhibit A to the Territory Amendment executed by you and us on or about the
Agreement Date; if any portion of your Territory’s boundary can be interpreted in more than one way,
then the interpretation producing the smallest geographic area shall apply.”

3.3. Paragraph 3.1.7 of the Franchise Agreement is deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following
language: “3.1.7 Before the Expiration Date, you execute the Renewal Agreement, which shall
supersede completely this Agreement and may contain terms, obligations, continuing royalty, advertising
fee, and other fees, costs, and expenses that are significantly different from, in addition to, or less
favorable to you than, those in this Agreement. The Renewal Agreement shall not require payment of an
initial franchise fee in addition to the Renewal Franchise Fee. Your franchise’s designation as a Standard
or an Expanded Franchise survives renewal. If you renew as described in this Paragraph 3.1, we shall
execute the Renewal Agreement and, after the Expiration Date, shall deliver one fully‐executed copy to
you.”

objections to personal jurisdiction or venue for the purpose of carrying out the purposes of this Paragraph 12,
and such parties agree that nothing in this Paragraph 12 shall be deemed to prevent any party to such action

is made in New Jersey and is to be performed in part through services rendered to you in New Jersey.
14. Claims against Us
14.1. Construction‐related Claims. If you have any claim against us or any of our affiliates or our or their
present or past directors, stockholders, officers, employees, or agents related to the Preliminary Plan;
building or sign permits or inspections in connection with the Preliminary Plan; build out of the
Premises; the Preliminary Schedule; any Change Request and any Change Order related to the
Preliminary Plan; any Unusual Conditions related to the Preliminary Plan, payment for any work
performed under the Preliminary Plan, as amended by any Change Orders and Unusual Conditions;
Substantial Completion; our determination of Substantial Completion; the date of Substantial
Completion; your and our future responsibilities related to Substantial Completion and the time
within which you and we will meet those responsibilities; the amount of Final Payment, and the Final
Payment Date, then you and we agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
you shall notify us in writing of this claim. You agree that (i) any and all such claims shall be brought
before the earlier of 30 days after the act, transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based
or 30 days after this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason; and (ii) any such claim not
brought by you within such time periods shall forever be barred as a claim, counterclaim, defense, or
set off. This written notice shall describe the claim, provide an opportunity to cure, describe the
manner in which you request that we cure, and provide a period within which you demand we cure
(the “Cure Period”) within which we may cure such alleged default of at least 60 days. Your written
notice shall be delivered to us in the manner described in Paragraph 31 above. If your notice is not in

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 8

writing, and does not (1) describe the claim, (2) provide an opportunity to cure, (3) describe the
manner in which you request that we cure, and (4) provide a Cure Period of at least 60 days, then
your notice shall be deemed to be (a) deficient, (b) not a claim upon which we are required to act, (c)
not an actionable claim, (d) not grounds for your seeking any remedy under this Agreement or
otherwise, and (e) not grounds for your termination of this Agreement. If we do not cure in a manner
satisfactory to you with the Cure Period, then your sole remedy is to submit such dispute to the
Architect for his determination. If you do not submit your dispute to the Architect within 30 days
after expiration of the Cure Period, then you shall have evidenced conclusively that you have no claim
against us and our affiliates and our and their respective present and past directors, stockholders,
officers, employees, and agents; and you shall have evidenced conclusively that any claim you may
have had is not a claim upon which we are required to act, is not an actionable claim, is not grounds
for your seeking any remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, and is not grounds for termination
by you of this Agreement; and you shall be deemed to have agreed to have waived any right you may
have had to initiate any future claim against us for the same cause. Upon your submission of your
dispute to the Architect in the manner required in this Paragraph 14.1, you and we agree to
cooperate with the Architect and provide him with such information and documents as he may
request at no charge to the other party; and that the Architect’s determination shall be conclusive
and binding on you and us.
14.2. Other claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except Paragraph 14.1 above,
you have no right to make any claim or counterclaim against us in any manner other than the manner
described in this Paragraph 14.2. If you have any claim against us or any of our affiliates or our or
their present or past directors, stockholders, officers, employees, or agents, including, without
limitation, any claim that we failed to meet any obligation under this Agreement, defaulted under this
Agreement, or did not perform under this Agreement, then you shall notify us in writing of this claim.
This written notice shall describe the claim, provide an opportunity to cure, describe the manner in
which you request that we cure, and provide a Cure Period within which we may cure such alleged
default of at least 60 days. Your written notice shall be delivered to us in the manner described in
Paragraph 31 above. If your notice is not in writing, and does not (1) describe the claim, (2) provide
an opportunity to cure, (3) describe the manner in which you request that we cure, and (4) provide a
Cure Period of at least 60 days, then your notice shall be deemed to be (a) deficient, (b) not a claim
upon which we are required to act, (c) not an actionable claim, (d) not grounds for your seeking any
remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, and (e) not grounds for your termination of this
Agreement. If you do not file a legal action for such claim, as described in Paragraph 12 above within
30 days after the expiration of the Cure Period, then you shall have evidenced conclusively that you
have no claim against us and our affiliates and our and their respective present and past directors,
stockholders, officers, employees, and agents; and you shall have evidenced conclusively that any
claim you may have had is not a claim upon which we are required to act, is not an actionable claim,
is not grounds for your seeking any remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, and is not grounds
for termination by you of this Agreement; and you shall be deemed to have agreed to have waived
any right you may have had to initiate any future claim against us for the same cause.
15. Waiver of Rights. You waive the right: to enforce any oral agreement, promise, representation, or warranty
not in this Agreement; to amend, modify, or suspend any provision of this Agreement; to stay the
effectiveness of any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any other agreement between you and us
or any pending expiration or termination thereof; and to seek damages against us because we refused our
consent or approval under this Agreement. Neither you nor we shall seek to litigate as a representative of, or
on behalf of, any other person, class, or entity any dispute, controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or
relating to, this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties, the sale of the franchise, or other claims
or causes of action relating to the performance of either party to this Agreement. No action or proceeding
under this Agreement shall add as a party, by consolidation, joinder, or in any other manner, any person or
party other than you and us and any person in privity with, or claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of,
you or us, unless both you and we consent in writing. We have the absolute right to refuse such consent.
16. Limitation on Claims. You and we agree that any and all claims by you against us arising out of, or relating to,

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012

directly or indirectly, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under this Agreement may not be
commenced by you, unless brought before the earlier of (1) the expiration of one year after the act,
transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based; or (2) one year after this Agreement expires or is
terminated for any reason. You agree that any claim or action not brought by you within the periods required
under this Paragraph 15 shall forever be barred as a claim, counterclaim, defense, or set off.
17. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING,
WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ABOUT ANY AND ALL ISSUES THAT ARISE OUT OF, CONCERN, OR RELATE TO,
THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR PERFORMANCE
OR OUR PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE, DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT
AND AFTERWARDS. YOU AND WE MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT
WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF YOUR AND OUR CONSENT TO THE WAIVER OF A TRIAL BY JURY.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE YOU HAVE HAD FULL OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH, AND BE ADVISED
BY, COUNSEL ABOUT THE TRANSACTION GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE
TERMS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 16, WHICH CONCERNS THE WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY BY YOU AND US.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT YOUR REPRESENTATIONS SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF
THIS AGREEMENT.
18. Limitation on Remedies. During the term of this Agreement and afterwards, you waive to the fullest extent
permitted by law any right to, or claim for, any punitive, speculative, exemplary, incidental, indirect, special, or
consequential damages against us and all of our affiliates and each of our and their past and present
stockholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents arising out of any cause whatsoever that arises out of,
concerns, or relates to, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under, directly or indirectly, this
Agreement, whether such cause is based in contract, negligence, strict liability, other tort, or otherwise,
including, but not limited to, your claim or counterclaim that we unreasonably gave, withheld, or delayed our
consent or approval to anything.
19. No Exclusive Remedy. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to you or us by this Agreement is
intended to be, nor shall be deemed, exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law or equity
provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy.
20. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, we have the right to seek
specific performance of any of your obligations under this Agreement or injunctive relief against any conduct
that will cause us loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement without the need to show monetary damages and without posting a bond. An application for
such a remedy shall not be deemed an election or a waiver of any other remedy. We may file an original
counterpart or a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of your consent to the issuance of
injunctive relief.
21. Fees and Costs. You agree to pay us or our designee all expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' and
accountants' fees and expenses and litigation and court costs, incurred by us, our affiliates, and our and their
successors and assigns (1) to issue any notice to remedy any default by you under this Agreement; (2) to issue
any notice to remedy any default by you or any of your affiliates under any other agreement between you and
any of your affiliates and us or any of our affiliates; (3) to enforce any rights under this Agreement or under

party shall be entitled to recover its damages, costs and expenses, including all court costs and attorneys' and
accountants' fees and expenses.

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Turn Key Agreement Page 1

Exhibit A. Guarantee

In consideration of, and in order to induce Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. (the "Franchisor") to execute the Turn
Key Agreement (the "Agreement"), each of the undersigned (the “Guarantors”) personally, unconditionally, and
irrevocably, jointly and severally, accept and agree that they shall be bound by, and perform according to, each
and all of the provisions, covenants, and conditions of the Agreement executed between the Franchisor and
NameZee, the Franchisee (as defined in the Agreement) for the Work (as defined in the Agreement). Unless
specifically stated otherwise, the terms used in this Guarantee shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement.
Each Guarantor personally, unconditionally, and irrevocably, jointly and severally, accepts and agrees as follows:
16. Upon demand by the Franchisor, each Guarantor will immediately make each payment required of the
Franchisee under the Agreement to the Franchisor, customers, vendors, and any other individual or Legal
Entity to whom the Franchisee owes any payment. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to require the
Franchisor to: (a) proceed against the Franchisee for any payment required under the Agreement; (b) proceed
against or exhaust any security from the Franchisee; or (c) pursue or exhaust any remedy, including any legal
or equitable relief, against the Franchisee. Without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor under this
Guarantee, the Franchisor may, without notice to any Guarantor, extend, modify, or release any indebtedness
or obligation of the Franchisee, or settle, adjust, or compromise any claims against the Franchisee. The
Franchisor has the right to require, in the Manual or otherwise in writing, that each Guarantor make any
payment required under the Agreement and this Guarantee directly to it, its affiliates, or to a bank or such
other financial institution account specified by the Franchisor, at the times and with the frequency designated
by the Franchisor, by electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, pre‐authorized auto‐draft arrangement, or
such other means as the Franchisor may specify from time to time, notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Agreement, and each Guarantor agrees to comply with such requirement. Each Guarantor shall furnish
the Franchisor, the Franchisor’s bank, or other financial institution, and any other recipient of payment with
such information and authorizations as may be necessary to permit such persons to make withdrawals by
electronic funds transfer, on‐line banking, or auto‐draft arrangement. Each Guarantor shall bear all expenses,
if any, associated with such authorizations and payments.
17. Each Guarantor waives notice of amendment of the Agreement and notice of demand for payment by the
Franchisee, and agrees to be bound by any and all such amendments and changes to the Agreement.
18. Each Guarantor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Franchisor harmless against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, and
consultants’ fees, costs, and expenses, costs of investigation, and court costs expenses) resulting from,
consisting of, or arising out of or in connection with any failure by the Franchisee to perform any obligation of
the Franchisee under the Agreement, any amendment thereto, or any other agreement executed by the
Franchisee referred to therein.
19. This Guarantee shall terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement, except that all
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor that arose from events that occurred on or before the effective
date of such termination shall remain in full force and effect until satisfied or discharged by each Guarantor,
and all covenants that by their terms continue in force after the expiration or termination of the Agreement
shall remain in force according to their terms. Upon the death of an individual Guarantor, the estate of such
Guarantor shall be bound by this Guarantee, but only for defaults and obligations hereunder existing at the
time of death; and the obligations of the other Guarantors will continue in full force and effect.
20. Applicable Law; Forum. This Guarantee shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the
state of Delaware, except for such state’s conflict‐of‐law rules. Except as otherwise provided in this
Guarantee, any action, whether or not arising out of, or relating to, the Agreement or this Guarantee,
whenever and wherever incurred, whether vested or contingent, whether in law or in equity, whether directly,
representatively, derivatively, or in any other capacity, brought by any Guarantor against the Franchisor shall
be brought in the judicial district in which the Franchisor has, at the time of commencement of such action, its
principal place of business. The Franchisor shall have the right to commence an action against any Guarantor
in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each Guarantor hereby waives all objections to personal jurisdiction or
venue for the purpose of carrying out the purposes of this Guarantee, and each Guarantor agrees that nothing

Exhibit A. Guarantee

in this Guarantee shall be deemed to prevent any party to such action from removing the action from state
court to federal court. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guarantee is made in New Jersey
and is to be performed in part through services rendered to the Franchisee in New Jersey.
21. Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor waives the right: to enforce any oral agreement, promise, representation, or
warranty not in this Guarantee; to amend, modify, or suspend any provision of the Agreement or this
Guarantee; to stay the effectiveness of any expiration or termination of the Agreement or this Guarantee or
any other agreement between any Guarantor and the Franchisor or any of its affiliates or any pending
expiration or termination thereof. No Guarantor shall seek to litigate as a representative of, or on behalf of,
any other person, class, or entity any dispute, controversy, or claim of any kind arising out of, or relating to,
the Agreement or this Guarantee, the rights and obligations of the parties, the sale of the franchise, or other
claims or causes of action relating to the performance of any party to the Agreement or this Guarantee. No
action or proceeding under this Guarantee shall add as a party, by consolidation, joinder, or in any other
manner, any person or party other than the Guarantor and the Franchisor and any person in privity with, or
claiming through, in the right of, or on behalf of, the Guarantor or the Franchisor, unless both Guarantor and
the Franchisor consent in writing. The Franchisor has the absolute right to refuse such consent.
22. Limitation on Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims by any Guarantor against the Franchisor
arising out of, or relating to, directly or indirectly, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under the
Agreement or this Guarantee may not be commenced by any Guarantor, unless brought before the earlier of
(1) the expiration of one year after the act, transaction, or occurrence upon which such claim is based; or (2)
one year after the Agreement or this Guarantee expires or is terminated for any reason. Each Guarantor
agrees that any claim or action not brought by any Guarantor within the periods required under this
Guarantee shall forever be barred as a claim, counterclaim, defense, or set off.
23. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES TO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ABOUT ANY AND ALL ISSUES THAT ARISE OUT OF, CONCERN,
OR RELATE TO, THE AGREEMENT OR THIS GUARANTEE, ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED IN THE
AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE, EACH GUARANTOR’S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS GUARANTEE, OR
OTHERWISE, DURING THE TERM OF THIS GUARANTEE AND AFTERWARDS. EACH GUARANTOR AND THE
FRANCHISOR MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS GUARANTEE WITH ANY COURT AS
WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF EACH GUARANTOR’S AND THE FRANCHISOR’S CONSENT TO THE WAIVER OF A TRIAL
BY JURY. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT HE HAS HAD FULL AND ADEQUATE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH, AND BE ADVISED BY, COUNSEL OF HIS OWN CHOOSING ABOUT THE
TRANSACTION GOVERNED BY THE AGREEMENT AND THIS GUARANTEE AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE TERMS
OF THIS GUARANTEE, WHICH CONCERNS THE WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY BY EACH GUARANTOR AND
THE FRANCHISOR. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT HIS REPRESENTATIONS SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION
OR TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTEE.
24. Limitation on Remedies. During the term of this Guarantee and afterwards, each Guarantor waives to the
fullest extent permitted by law any right to, or claim for, any punitive, speculative, exemplary, incidental,
indirect, special, or consequential damages against the Franchisor and all of its affiliates and each of their past
and present stockholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents arising out of any cause whatsoever that
arises out of, concerns, or relates to, the making of, interpretation of, or performance under, directly or
indirectly, the Agreement and this Guarantee, whether such cause is based in contract, negligence, strict
liability, other tort, or otherwise, including, without limitation, any Guarantor’s claim or counterclaim that the
Franchisor unreasonably gave, withheld, or delayed its consent or approval to anything.
25. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee, the Franchisor has the right to
seek specific performance of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee or injunctive relief against any
conduct that will cause it loss or damage, under customary equity rules, to prevent a breach or threatened

1. Summary of Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business
Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. (the "Company"), is a Delaware “S” Corporation which is affiliated with
companies having common ownership. The Company franchises remedial and enrichment instruction
centers throughout the United States, which offer reading, writing, mathematics, phonics, study skills and
other subjects to elementary and secondary school children and, to a limited extent, adults. Franchised
centers generally offer one on one instruction for standardized college entrance examinations. The initial
franchise and renewal periods are principally 10 years, and the franchise fee depends upon the terms of
the agreement.

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily from the following sources:

 Sales of Franchises and Franchise Options


Income from the sale of franchises and franchise options, which grant exclusive rights for a
limited period and geographic area to open additional centers, is recognized when the Company
has substantially performed all material services and obligations related to the sale, as required in
the franchise agreement. Fees for options are nonrefundable and are recognized as income
when received. Refundable deposits received for franchise purchases are deferred until the
Company has performed all material services and obligations related to the sale under the
franchise agreement. As of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company has recorded
deferred revenue of $0, $47,245 and $0, respectively, for franchise fees received for which the
Company has not completed its obligation under the agreement.

 Continuing Franchise Fees


Continuing franchise fees, which are required under the franchise agreement and are based upon
a percentage of gross revenue which is defined in the franchise agreement, are recorded as
revenue when earned. Advertising fees are collected and disbursed by other entities.

 Other Franchise Fees


Included in continuing franchise fees, are fees for additional services provided by the Company
that franchisees elect to participate in and for which they sign a separate agreement. Fees for
these services are recorded as revenue when earned. As of December 31, 2011, 2010 and
2009, the Company has recorded deferred revenue of $324,731, $596,944 and $887,833,
respectively, for other franchise fees received but not yet earned.

 Equipment and Materials


From time to time, the Company sells computer equipment and educational materials to
franchisees. Fees from the sale of these items are recorded as revenue when earned.

Income from the sale of franchises and franchise options for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010
and 2009 are as follows:
2011 2010 2009

Initial franchises $ 118,550 $ 303,000 $ 406,750


Franchise options 488,509 404,324 259,650

Totals $ 607,059 $ 707,324 $ 666,400

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

The total number of independently owned franchisees at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was 279,
284 and 316, respectively.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during this period. The
more significant estimates used by management relate to the valuation of accounts receivable, notes
receivable, and the useful lives assigned to property, plant and equipment. Accordingly, actual results as
determined at a later date could differ from these estimates.

Cash
Cash consists of non-interest bearing cash accounts in banks. These balances fluctuate during the year
and management monitors regularly the financial condition of the banking institution, along with their
balances in cash. Beginning December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing
transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the balance of the account, at all FDIC-insured
institutions.

Concentrations of Credit Risks


Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number
of franchisees who are dispersed throughout the United States. To reduce risk, the Company routinely
analyzes the financial strength of franchisees and, although collateral is not required, believes that the
Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses sufficient to cover its trade accounts and notes
receivable credit risk.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized, interest bearing franchisee obligations due under normal trade
terms generally requiring payment within 15 to 30 days from the invoice date. Every franchisee signs a
guarantee agreement. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the franchisee. Payments
of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the franchisee’s remittance
advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. Franchisee account balances with
invoices dated past the due date are typically considered delinquent and bear interest at various rates up
to 18% per annum.

Management individually reviews all delinquent accounts receivable balances that exceed their due date
and based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that
will not be collected. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance
that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.

At December 31, 2009, included in accounts receivable and continuing franchise fees was approximately
$1,109,000 of royalties due from terminated franchises. Such amounts represented the minimum
payments due, for the period from the franchises’ termination date through the end of the franchise
agreement. In 2010, after extensive collection efforts, the Company determined that remaining balances
of approximately $900,000 were uncollectible and were charged to bad debt expense.

Bad debt expense was $97,772, $1,936,821 and $1,234,812 for the years ended December 31, 2011,
2010, and 2009 respectively.

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

Furniture and Equipment


Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded over estimated useful lives of
three to five years using the straight-line method. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts
and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs
and improvements which do not significantly extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense
as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the net realizable value of long-lived assets, principally furniture and
equipment, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic
projections and anticipated future cash flows. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is
recognized whenever future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its
carrying value. The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of
the asset and its fair value. There were no impairment losses recorded in the years ended December 31,
2011, 2010 and 2009.

Due (To)/From Stockholders


Amounts due (to)/from stockholders represent unsecured, non-interest bearing cash advances that are
expected to be settled in the subsequent fiscal year

Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as an “S” corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code, as well as for all state income tax purposes. In lieu of federal corporate income taxes, the
stockholders are taxed individually on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is provided for in these financial statements.
Under New Jersey State “S” corporation provisions, the majority of income taxes are also the
responsibility of the individual stockholders. Corporate state income taxes which are the Company’s
responsibility are provided at statutory rates resulting in deminimus amounts.
The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company has no
open years prior to 2008. The Company adopted the accounting pronouncement relating to uncertain tax
positions as of January 1, 2009. The Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December
31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. There were no tax related interest or penalties included the financial
statements presented.
Advertising
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising costs charged to
operations amounted to $272,826, $179,347 and $349,192 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncement


In July 2010, FASB updated ASU 310 Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and
the Allowance for Credit Losses. This update is intended to provide additional information to assist
financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its
allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this Update affect all entities with financing receivables,
excluding short-term trade accounts receivable or receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or
fair value and enhance disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for
credit losses. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2011.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the 2010 financial statements in order to conform to the 2011
financial statement presentation. Certain reclassifications were made to the 2009 financial statements in
7
Huntington Learning Centers, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

order to conform to the 2011 and 2010 financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications did not
have an impact on the 2010 or 2009 statements of income and retained earnings.

2. Notes Receivable
The Company carries its notes receivable at the principal amount due reduced by a loan loss allowance.
The Company evaluates this loan loss allowance based on past payment history and credit worthiness of
the borrower and establishes a loan loss allowance when it determines that contractual payments of
interest and principal on the notes receivable will not be collected in accordance with terms of the note
agreement. These notes bear interest at various rates up to 10% per annum, generally are payable for
up to 36 months from the date of issuance and are collateralized by liens on equipment, vehicles, or real
estate. Information on these notes is as follows as of December 31:

2011 2010 2009

Recorded investment $ 381,984 $ 248,770 $ 859,462

Unpaid principal balance $ 476,794 $ 433,743 $ 1,044,436

Average recorded investment $ 315,377 $ 554,116 $ 543,998

Huntington Learning Centers, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

The Company performs certain services for the affiliate-owned centers at a fixed fee. Included in
continuing and other franchise fees are $635,592, $638,912 and $500,120 in 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, earned from such services.

Amounts due from or to affiliates are uncollateralized and non-interest bearing without specific due dates.

6. Litigation

The Company is a party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the conduct of its business. While the
ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the
overall effect of these lawsuits will not be material to the Company's financial position or results of
operations. At December 31, 2011, no amounts were accrued.

7. Commitments

The Company, along with an affiliated company, has guaranteed the mortgage debt of certain affiliated
partnerships, which are due in installments through 2016. The outstanding balance of the mortgage notes
was approximately $2,741,000 at December 31, 2011. The Company would be obligated to perform
under the guarantees if the affiliated partnerships and other affiliates failed to pay principal and interest
payments to the lenders when due. Including accrued interest, the maximum potential amount of future
(undiscounted) payments under the guarantees would be approximately $3,326,000 as of December 31,
2011. If the Company was required to honor the guarantees, it would be entitled to property owned by the
affiliated partnerships that collateralizes the loans. As of December 31, 2011, the affiliated partnerships
are current with their debt payments.

The Company is a co-borrower with certain affiliates on a $3,000,000 line of credit, payable upon demand
and expiring on May 31, 2012. Borrowings under this line of credit are collateralized by a security interest
in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The line of credit bears interest at adjusted “London
Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate plus 2.0% or the U.S. prime rate. The line of credit is subject to
certain financial reporting and other covenants. The Company is in the process of renewing the line of
credit. As of December 31, 2011, and March 12, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under the
line of credit and the Company did not use the line of credit in 2011 and 2010.

8. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date of March
12, 2012, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this
evaluation, the Company has determined that no subsequent events have occurred, which require
disclosure in or adjustments to the financial statements.

FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT
REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF MICHIGAN

NOTICE REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF MICHIGAN

The state of Michigan prohibits certain unfair provisions that are sometimes in franchise documents. If
any of the following provisions are in the franchise documents, the provision are void and cannot be
enforced against you.

Each of the following provisions is void and unenforceable if contained in any document relating to a
franchise:

(a) A prohibition on the right of a franchisee to join an association of franchisees.

(b) A requirement that a franchisee assent to a release, assignment, novation, waiver, or


estoppel which deprives a franchisee of rights and protections provided in this act. This
shall not preclude a franchisee, after entering into a franchise agreement, from settling
any and all claims.

(c) A provision that permits a franchisor to terminate a franchise agreement prior to the
expiration of its term except for good cause. Good cause shall include the failure of the
franchisee to comply with any lawful provision of the franchise agreement and to cure
such failure after being given written notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity,
which in no event need be more than 30 days, to cure such failure.

(d) A provision that permits a franchisor to refuse to renew a franchise without fairly
compensating the franchisee by repurchase or other means for the fair market value at
the time of expiration of the franchisee’s inventory, supplies, equipment, fixtures, and
furnishings. Personalized materials which have no value to the franchisor and inventory,
supplies, equipment, fixtures, and furnishings not reasonably required in the conduct of
the franchise business are not subject to compensation. This subsection applies only if:
(i) The term of the franchise is less than 5 years and (ii) the franchisee is prohibited by
the franchise or other agreement from continuing to conduct substantially the same
business under another trademark, service mark, trade name, logotype, advertising, or
other commercial symbol in the same area subsequent to the expiration of the
franchise, or the franchisee does not receive at least 6 months advance notice of
franchisor’s intent not to renew the franchise.

(e) A provision that permits the franchisor to refuse to renew a franchise on terms generally
available to other franchisees of the same class or type under similar circumstances.
This section does not require a renewal provision.

(f) A provision requiring that arbitration or litigation be conducted outside this state. This
shall not preclude the franchisee from entering into an agreement, at the time of
arbitration, to conduct arbitration at a location outside this state.

(g) A provision which permits a franchisor to refuse to permit a transfer of ownership of a


franchise, except for good cause. This subdivision does not prevent a franchisor from
exercising a right of first refusal to purchase the franchise. Good cause shall include, but

S:\Franchise\Contracts\HCS Franchise\FA\v2012a\HLC Franchise Disclosure Document v2012a.doc May 21, 2012


Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document Page 47

is not limited to:

(i) The failure of the proposed transferee to meet the franchisor’s then‐current
reasonable qualifications or standards.

(ii) The fact that the proposed transferee is a competitor of the franchisor or
subfranchisor.

(iii) The unwillingness of the proposed transferee to agree in writing to comply with
all lawful obligations.

(iv) The failure of the franchisee or proposed transferee to pay any sums owing to
the franchisor or to cure any default in the franchise agreement existing at the
time of the proposed transfer.

(h) A provision that requires the franchisee to resell to the franchisor items that are not
uniquely identified with the franchisor. This subdivision does not prohibit a provision
that grants to a franchisor a right of first refusal to purchase the assets of a franchise on
the same terms and conditions as a bona fide third party willing and able to purchase
those assets, nor does this subdivision prohibit a provision that grants the franchisor the
right to acquire the assets of a franchise for the market or appraised value of such assets
if the franchisee has breached the lawful provisions of the franchise agreement and has
failed to cure the breach in the manner provided in subdivision (c).

(i) A provision which permits the franchisor to directly or indirectly convey, assign, or
otherwise transfer its obligation to fulfill contractual obligations to the franchisee unless
provision has been made for providing the required contractual services.

The fact that there is a notice of this offering on file with the attorney general does not constitute
approval, recommendation, or endorsement by the attorney general.

Any questions regarding this Notice should be directed to the Michigan Department of Attorney
General, 670 Law Building, Lansing, Michigan 48913, (517) 373‐7117.
