You will submit to us, at least fifteen (15) days prior to publication or use, samples of all sales, promotional, and advertising materials you desire to use, including but not limited to print, sales brochures, print, radio and television advertising and signs. Presently, for print and electronic advertising (non-video or audio) we require you to submit a “master” or “camera ready” artwork with specifications and/or separate samples of the media upon which it will be printed. Within fifteen (15) days of our receipt of any request, we will attempt to notify you in writing of our approval or disapproval of the request, but if we fail to provide such notice, the request will be deemed disapproved. When two or more of our franchisees operate within a marketing area, we may at our sole discretion form a local marketing cooperative in which all franchise owners in the area must participate. The purpose of a local marketing cooperative is to provide more cost-effective marketing programs to its participants. By majority vote of its members with each member receiving one vote, the local marketing cooperative will approve the contributions to and programs run by the cooperative. Each local marketing cooperative will be autonomous, administer its own funds and operate under the rules and procedures for local marketing cooperatives contained in our Operations Manual. When applicable, we may collect regional cooperative marketing fees from franchise owners. All local advertising must be in media we approve in advance and must be conducted in a dignified manner conforming to standards and requirements that we specify. You may not use any advertising or promotional plans or materials unless and until you have received written approval from us as provided in Article 2 of the Franchise Agreement. You may not maintain any business profile on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube or any other social media and/or networking site without our prior written approval.

Advertising Cooperatives As of the date of this disclosure document, local or regional advertising cooperatives have not been established (“Co-op”). You must participate in any advertising Co-op for the region in which your Licensed Business is located. We will notify you in writing if you must join a regional advertising cooperative for your area and the amount of your advertising cooperative contributions. We determine the area of each advertising cooperative. Each advertising cooperative must adopt written governing documents as provided in the Manual. A copy of the governing documents (if one has been established) is available upon request. At all meetings of cooperative advertising regions, each participating franchisee is entitled to one vote per Licensed Business that franchisee operates in the cooperative region. Your minimum contributions to the advertising cooperative will be determined by the cooperative, except that there will not be an assessment of more than 4% of gross revenues unless all franchisees in the area agree. We or our affiliate, as applicable, will contribute to the advertising cooperative for each of our company- or affiliate-owned agencies located in the cooperative region on the same basis as franchisees. At this time, the advertising cooperative is not required to prepare quarterly and annual financial statements prepared by an independent CPA and be made available to all franchisees in that advertising cooperative. Contributions to a Co-op will reduce franchisees’ expenditures for local marketing. Contributions to a Co-op will not reduce national marketing fee. ABS Franchise Services Inc FDD 2026 A1 21 Affiliate or Franchisor-owned outlets will not contribute to marketing cooperatives and will have no voting power over fees imposed by franchisee cooperatives.

Your opening inventory of marketing collateral consists of numerous items including, but not limited to, brochures, business cards, branded notepads, client handbooks, branded pens, branded tablecloth for events, interior core values sign, presentation folders, etc. Note I: Start-up Digital Marketing Package Your start-up digital marketing package includes the creation and management of social media, social media posting, Google Ads management, and optimized local SEO for your website for your first 6 months in business. Note J: Additional Funds Additional funds are defined as those that will be required for you to run your business for a "reasonable period." In this industry an acceptable "reasonable initial period" is 3 months. Additional Funds are used to pay such expenses as wages, lease payments, rent, marketing, insurance, utilities, etc. These funds do not include a salary and/or draw for owners. These funds do not include any amounts payable to us for enhanced support services fees. The additional funds required will vary by your area; how much you follow our methods and procedures; your management skills, experience and business acumen; the relative effectiveness of your staff; local economic conditions; the local market for your products and services; the prevailing wage rate; competition; and the sales level reached during the initial period. You must provide security deposits for utilities and rent (and possibly for other items). We cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses in starting an Agency. Additional operating expenses will be incurred in connection with the ongoing operation of your Agency. In compiling these estimates, we rely on the experience of the more than 25 years of experience of our founder and affiliate in the home care industry in Southern California. These amounts are the minimum recommended levels to cover your operating expenses for 3 months.

COMPUTERS AND TECHNOLOGY To operate your business, you will need to use certain computer equipment and software. You may select any computer hardware that meets or exceeds our current minimum requirements. You are responsible to maintain and repair your hardware and to update or upgrade your software. We may recommend or require additional hardware. We may require you to purchase specified equipment and software and/or portable hand-held devices. Currently, you must obtain 1-3 windows-based desktop or laptop computers (or one for each office employee) and 17” (minimum) flat screen monitors with built in speakers and web cams (for video meetings). You will also need a printer; a digital camera; a minimum of one smart phone mobile device with email capability for use by the on-call staffer and/or marketing coordinator; an external hard drive; QuickBooks Plus online edition or newer software (single user/triple user version); antivirus software (i.e. Norton, Windows Defender, etc.); VOIP (voice over internet protocol) phone number. You will also need a high-speed internet connection which you can get from your local phone or cable company. We do not provide any support for computer hardware and we (nor any affiliate or third party) and we have no obligation to provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades or updates. We estimate that the cost of the systems will range from $1,600 to $8,850. At this time, we cannot estimate the annual cost of any optional maintenance, updating, upgrading or support contracts. We do require such contracts, except as otherwise noted. As scheduling, report preparation and processing software and office management programs become more sophisticated, you may need to upgrade or supplement hardware and related items. You must upgrade your computers, printers, other peripherals, software, and purchase any additional equipment we specify to accommodate our software, or to improve the overall effectiveness and competitiveness of your business. Presently, we estimate the annual cost to upgrade your computers, printers, other peripherals, software and other equipment not to exceed $2,000 per year. There are no contractual limits on the frequency and cost of your obligation to maintain, upgrade and update the computer systems in conformance with our directives. The SwyftOps Software provides a web-based system for customer relations management, scheduling, referral marketing, client marketing, billing and payroll. A monthly service fee based on either scheduled monthly hours or number of active clients is required and is directly payable to SwyftOps (currently averages between approximately $100 to $700+ per month). These fees may increase from time to time, but usually not more than 10% per year, compounded. New releases and upgrades may be provided from time to time at an additional cost, but we are not required to provide new releases or upgrades. ABS Franchise Services Inc FDD 2026 A1 23 Via the SwyftOps software, we have independent access to the information and data generated described above. There are no contractual limitations on our rights to access the information and data. You are obligated by the Franchise Agreement to install and use any upgrades and updates that we may designate as mandatory. There are no limits on the frequency or cost of such upgrades or updates. We currently require High Speed Internet connection that is always on. We require you to have a static IP address—it is required for the security system. We recommend that you obtain your internet access from a major supplier. We have no contractual obligation to provide support for Microsoft software, Adobe software, Intuit software, or other 3rd party vendors of required software programs. You may be able to obtain support from your computer hardware manufacturer or directly from Microsoft. We cannot estimate the cost of updates and upgrades and there is no limit to the frequency with which you may require them or the amount of the cost. Those factors are determined by Microsoft pricing and service policies. The contact information for the applicable vendors can be found in the Operations Manual. Currently, ABS uses Microsoft Office 365 for email, file storage, Teams and other applications. All franchise locations must use our Microsoft Office 365 platform. Currently, we pay the subscription fees for franchise locations for key and appropriate staff members. We reserve the right to change this current offering at any time. Although we require you to have computers with a network interface card that will run the required software, we do not impose additional technical requirements at this time except that your computers must be less than one year old at the time you begin using it in the Licensed Business. We may, in the future, impose additional requirements on new or replacement computer hardware. Based upon current market prices, you should be able to obtain an adequate new computer for less than $1,000 including: monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices. The required computer hardware and software will assist you in running your business as well as gathering, analyzing and reporting data and service results. The required computer hardware and software will also collect and make available to you and to us extensive information about your business, including purchases, customer data, inventory, receipts, cost of goods, profitability and expenses, including payroll and employee expense and scheduling. Under the Franchise Agreement, we have unlimited independent access to the information for any proper purpose. Unless otherwise required by law, we will not provide the information to any other person except in summary or statistical formats—and with your identifying information removed.
