We offer, and award, to qualified applicants, a Unit Franchise to operate a Store at a specified retail location approved by us using the "Cartridge World" name and design. Please see Exhibit A for a copy of the current form of Cartridge World Direct Unit Franchise Agreement. Capitalized terms that are-not defined in this Disclosure Document have the meanings that are given in the Direct Unit Franchise Agreement. The Cartridge World System is characterized by certain trademarks and logos, operating systems, training and marketing concepts, the Operations Manuals, distinctive color schemes and other elements, and includes methods for marketing and operating retail stores in the business of refilling printer inkjet cartridges, remanufacturing laser cartridges and selling toners, hardware, software and related printer consumables (the "System"). We franchise Stores, which are retail stores located at street fronts, malls, and other retail and business establishments, which provide products and services related to refilling of printer (and other) cartridges, including refilling of inkjet cartridges; remanufacturing of laser cartridges; sales of toner, computer hardware (including printers) and software, ancillary products and services; and such additional products and services as we may specify from time to time (collectively, "Products and Services"). Stores that are full-service retail establishments that can process cartridge refills and remanufacturing are referred to as ''Traditional Stores," and Stores that are retail service-only locations (without refilling/remanufacturing capability) are referred to as "Finished Goods Stores" or "Satellite Stores." You will only be qualified to apply for a Satellite Store if you already own a Traditional Store. If you are granted the right to operate a Satellite Store, you will sign a separate Direct Unit Franchise Agreement for that Satellite Store. You do not need to own a Traditional Store to apply for a Finished Goods Store, and you will sign a Direct Unit Franchise Agreement if you are granted the right to operate a Finished Goods Store. References in this Disclosure Document to a Store will include Traditional Stores, Finished Goods Stores and Satellite Stores unless otherwise specified. We and CWNA can also employ and/or allow others to use the Cartridge World System in other venues, such as kiosks in retail outlets or other distribution opportunities, as well as with national account ("Special Account") programs, with CWNA's prior approval.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: N.A Maximum: N.A
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: N.A Maximum: N.A
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
