EXHIBIT A

Trademark Usage Guidelines

These guidelines are intended to assist INSTRUCTOR in understanding the general

trademark privileges and requirements under U.S (International) trademark law. The

trademarks and services marks of BB/BBL (“Marks”) are the property of BOOTYBARRE and must be used only in connection with BB/BBL classes.

If the Marks are misused, BB/BBL could lose its right to have the trademarks exclusively

identify its goods and services. The following rules should therefore be followed when

referring to the Marks in news articles, photo captions, advertising, literature, promotional

material, signs and correspondence.

In order to preserve BB/BBL’s valuable Marks, it’s necessary to adhere to the following simple

rules:

(a) A proper trademark notice must be used after each trademark at least once, preferably the first time the trademark appears, on all labels and in all advertisements, promotional material, publications and other literature. The symbol®, indicating the trademark has been registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, must be used for all registered trademarks.

(b) It’s important to distinguish the trademark from other words in typed and printed material. This should be done by all letters written as “bootybarre and bbarreless” or the trademark logo not your personal version of the brands.

(c) The trademark should at all times stand apart. It should never be abbreviated, should not be used as a possessive, in the plural, in a descriptive sense or as a verb or noun.

(d) The trademark should never be used or combined with other words or another trademark. Elements of the trademark should never be used alone or combined with other words or another trademark.

(e) The Marks should be used only when referring to the BB/BBL and products or services. BB/BBL has the right, from time to time, to request and receive samples of any and all written or promotional materials not supplied by BB/BBL to insure that quality standards are being met and to assure the proper use of the Marks.

(f) All materials bearing the Marks must contain the equivalent of the following language displayed prominently on or in connection with the materials: bootybarre®/bbarreless® is a registered trademark and is used with its permission”.

Use by Others

The Marks must be protected against misuse and infringement by others. If an improper or unauthorized third party uses it, that use may result in a dilution of a trademark’s strength and its loss of identification with BB/BBL. Ultimately, it may cause a mark to lose its trademark significance. It is therefore extremely important to BB/BBL to police its Marks in the marketplace. Immediate notice to BB of what you consider might be unauthorized use of the Marks is therefore imperative.
