ITEM 1 THE FRANCHISOR, AND ANY PARENT, PREDECESSORS, AND AFFILIATES The Franchisor To simplify the language in this Franchise Disclosure Document, the words "we," "us," "our" and "InXpress" refer to InXpress, LLC., the franchisor of this business. The words "you" and "your" refer to the person to whom we grant a franchise, whether you are an individual, a corporation, limited liability company or other business entity. If you are a corporation, limited liability company or other business entity, certain provisions of our Franchise Agreement also apply to your owners and will be noted. We were organized as Allfreight Solutions, LLC. in the State of Utah on January 18, 2006 for the sole purpose of offering the Franchised Business. We changed our name to InXpress, LLC. effective April 1, 2006. Our principal business address is 9815 South Monroe Street, Suite 206, Sandy, UT 84070, and we do business only under the name InXpress, LLC. Our Business Activities InXpress offers franchises for the sale and promotion of international, airfreight, express truck, and other transportation services offered by one or more domestic and international carrier companies under the trademark InXpress in the United States and Canada. Specifically, we allow you to promote, advertise, solicit, establish, maintain and service customer accounts and provide them discount transportation services under the terms of contracts between us and various international, airfreight, express truck, and other transportation services ("Carriers"). We began offering franchises for this business in May 2006 in the United States and in March 2013 in Canada. Franchisees will be licensed to use the marks, business methods and techniques licensed by us. We will conduct a credit review as part of our approval process in granting franchises. We have unique methods for identifying, qualifying and closing sales to prospective customers needing this service. The rights to use these methods will be granted to you. A major benefit of the InXpress System is that we invoice your customers, pay your vendors and Carriers, including us, from amounts we collect from customers on your behalf, identify vendors and Carriers who can fill your customers' needs, provide you with reports, and perform certain other bookkeeping and record keeping functions on your behalf. You may operate your Franchised Business from home or you may purchase or lease a commercial establishment for the business. The location from which you operate your Franchised Business will be referred to in this document as "Premises." We do not offer and have not previously offered franchises in any other line of business under our current name and we are not engaged in any other line of business. We do not currently own or operate a business of the type being franchised, but our affiliates own and operate other businesses similar to the Franchised Businesses in the United Kingdom, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, France and Netherlands. 1
Our Predecessors and Affiliates We do not have any predecessors or parent entities but we do have two affiliates ("Affiliates"). One Affiliate, InXpress Ltd, developed and currently conducts a similar business and offers franchises for this business only in the United Kingdom.

Market and Competition The market for the services you sell is well developed and consists of persons, businesses, and organizations in need of international, airfreight, express truck, and other transportation services. The transportation industry is becoming very competitive. You will compete with national, regional and local businesses, including agents, representatives and salespersons employed or otherwise paid by carrier companies, discount air carrier service promotional companies, including those under contract with us, that sell similar or competitive services at a discount within your locale, and other franchise systems in the same business. Some may offer discounts as great as or greater than those offered through us. The discount rates offered through us may not always be available. You will also face normal business risks that could have an adverse affect on your Franchised Business. These include industry developments, such as pricing policies of competitors, interruptions in transportations, and supply and demand. Another risk factor is our dependence on key personnel, the loss of whom could have an adverse affect on us. Our ability to fulfill our obligations under our Franchise Agreement depends in part on our present and future financial condition. Litigation risks also exist, which may not be foreseeable. Industry Specific Regulations Some states and federal agencies have laws regulating one or more of the services offered by the Franchised Businesses. You should consult with your attorney and investigate whether these laws will apply to the Franchised Business or its employees and you should investigate whether there are other laws or regulations in your state that are specific to the services offered by the Franchised Businesses and that will apply to your Franchised Business or its employees. The laws, rules, and regulations that apply to businesses in general will affect you. In addition, your state may have specific laws or regulations concerning the operation, pricing, packaging, transportation, shipment, taxation, or other aspects of the transportation promotion and sales industries. Also, the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Maritime Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration, have various laws and regulations regarding obtaining licenses and/or insurance if you sell, offer or arrange ground, ocean or air 2
freight. You should consult with your attorney and local, state; and federal government agencies before buying your Franchised Business, to determine all applicable legal requirements and compliance costs and to consider their effects upon you. It is your responsibility, on an ongoing basis, to investigate and satisfy all local, state, and federal laws, since they vary from place to place and can change over time.
