RECITALS
WHEREAS, Provider is engaged in the business of providing one or more medical or other procedures,
services, or products (collectively or individually, "Provider Services"); and
WHEREAS, Provider desires to supply Provider's clients (collectively, "Clients" or, individually, a
"Client") with access to loans and other financing options (collectively, "Loans" or, individually, a
"Loan") to be used to facilitate payment for one or more of the Provider Services; and
WHEREAS, Provider desires to enter into a business relationship with LLS, whereby Provider will
purchase a non-exclusive, revocable "Software License" to use LLS's "Software" (as such terms are
hereinafter defined), thereby allowing Provider's Clients to apply for Loans through independent third
party credit unions or other financial institutions (collectively, "Financial Institutions" or, individually, a
"Financial Institution"),
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Recitals: The foregoing Recitals are incorporated by this reference.
2. Term: The initial term (the "Initial Term") of this Agreement shall be for a period of three (3)
months commencing upon the date of this Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term or any
Renewal Term (as such term is hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall automatically renew for an
additional one (1) year term (individually, a "Renewal Term" or, collectively, the "Renewal Terms")
unless either Party notifies the other, in writing, of such Party's intent to terminate this Agreement at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the applicable Renewal Term. The
Initial Term and all Renewal Terms are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Term."
3. LLS Services: LLS hereby agrees to perform the following services (individually or collectively,
the "LLS Services") during the Term:
a. Software: Subject to the terms of the Software License, LLS shall permit Provider to
utilize a certain internet based software package, known commercially as
'lifestylels.net' (the "Software"), which Software is to be used in connection with
facilitating the processing of loan applications (collectively, "Loan Applications" or,
individually, a "Loan Application") from Provider's Clients to Financial Institutions.
The Software shall be the only means through which Provider shall be entitled to cause
Loan Applications to be submitted to Financial Institutions under this Agreement.
Consequently and among things, Provider agrees not to facilitate Clients submitting
Loan Applications to Financial Institutions by direct submission, by facsimile
transmission, or by or through any other means. The use of the Software shall be
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
b. Training: LLS shall supply Provider with one or more copies of the Software, and will
additionally provide reasonable training in the Software's use to the management and
staff of Provider.
c. Access And Support; Updates: LLS shall use its good faith efforts: (i) to provide
access to the Software through the internet or other web-based means, (ii) to maintain
access to the Software for Provider, (iii) to provide all necessary support for user
identification access and shall administer all passwords and user IDs, and (iv) to carry
out any applicable updates or patches to the software online during non-operating
hours. Such updates are part of the system and are included in the pricing exhibit
attached hereto. Provided that it has used its good faith efforts as described herein, LLS
shall not be liable for any inability to provide access to the Software, any failure to
maintain access to the Software, any failure to provide support, or any like or similar
matters, and shall further not be responsible for any damages, liabilities, claims,
lawsuits, or causes of actions arising as a consequence of such matters.
4. Lending Decisions Made By Financial Institution, Not By LLS; Clients' Rights To Pursue
Alternate Financing: Provider expressly acknowledges and agrees that all lending decisions and
determinations with respect to possible Loans shall be made at the sole and absolute discretion of the
applicable Financial Institutions. Consequently, LLS is not providing, and cannot provide, any
assurances that any particular Client, or any Clients at all, will qualify for any Loan with any Financial
Institution. Further, a Financial Institution's acceptance of a Loan Application from a Client does not
bind the Client to use or accept funding from such Financial Institution and does not entitle Provider to
receive any payment from such Financial Institution.
5. Arrangement of Loans: Provider will act as Financial Institution's agent for the purpose of
receiving loan and membership requests and documenting loan advances as specified in this Agreement
and authorized by Financial Institution. Provider's authority is limited to documenting Loans for
Financial Institution members according to the terms prescribed by Financial Institution. Provider shall
not process any Loans without prior approval from the applicable Financial Institution.
6. Software License: LLS hereby grants, to Provider, a non-exclusive license (the "Software
License") to utilize the Software in Provider's offices for the sole purpose of facilitating efforts of
Provider's Clients to apply for Loans. The Software License shall be deemed to be automatically
revoked and terminated upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
7. Restricted Rights to Use of Software: Only individuals authorized by Provider may access and
use the Software. Provider shall provide sufficient safeguards to prevent the unauthorized use of the
Software, including advising all employees, agents, and representatives that the Software is not to be
copied or revealed to anyone other than authorized employees of Provider. Provider shall change its
password if any employee who had such knowledge is terminated.
8. One Time Set-Up Fee: In connection with LLS creating Provider's account and providing the
Software, associated training, and other services related to setting up Provider's account, Provider shall
pay to LLS the "Initial Set-up Fee" set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
9. Pricing: In addition to the One Time Set-Up Fee, Provider shall pay for the continuing use of the
Software and the LLS Services as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, as it may be amended from
time to time. Provider hereby authorizes the Financial Institutions to deliver the LLS Payment directly to LLS upon distribution of a Loan's proceeds to Provider.
10. Exclusive Arrangement; Provider Utilization Prohibitions Relating To Credit Unions:
Provider agrees that the LLS Services shall be the sole and exclusive services through which Provider
refers, recommends, and facilitates Clients in seeking financing from credit unions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Provider shall not be required to refer, recommend, or facilitate the use of LLS Services with
respect to Clients that seek financing from banks.
Provider further agrees that, for a period of two (2) years from the date of the termination of this
Agreement for any reason, Provider shall be prohibited (the "Credit Union Financing Prohibition") from
utilizing any program, means, or methods that assist Clients in seeking financing from credit unions.
Amongst other things and without limitation, the Credit Union Financing Prohibition prohibits Provider
(1) from using any relationship developed through or because of the LLS Services, whether such
relationship is of a personal or business nature, to assist Clients in seeking financing from credit unions
and (2) from using any information obtained from or because of the LLS Services to assist Clients in
seeking financing from credit unions. The Credit Union Financing Prohibition does not apply to
programs, means, or methods which are intended to assist Clients in seeking financing from banks.
Any failure by Provider to comply with the Credit Union Financing Prohibition shall be deemed an
immediate and material breach of this Agreement and will entitle LLS to institute any and all necessary
action against Provider which LLS deems appropriate, including but not limited to seeking temporary
and permanent injunctive relief against Provider and any other persons or entities. Furthermore, both
LLS and Provider agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of
actual damages caused by material breach of the Credit Union Financing Prohibition. Therefore, the
Parties agree that, in the event that Provider violates the Credit Union Financing Prohibition, Provider
shall pay to LLC one hundred fifty dollars ($150) for each breach. The Parties further agree that this
liquidated damages provision represents reasonable compensation for the loss which would be incurred
by LLS due to any such breach. Nothing in this section is intended to limit LLS's right to obtain
injunctive and other relief as may be appropriate.
11. Non Disclosure/Confidentiality: The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Software and other
means and methods through which the LLS Services are provided and performed consist of and
comprise proprietary software, materials, documents, methods, information, matters, and the like
(collectively, "Proprietary Matters"), which are commercially valuable in their own right. The Parties
recognize that the continued value of such Proprietary Matters depends upon the preservation and
enforcement of the confidentiality of such Proprietary Matters, and that the disclosure of such
Proprietary Matters will cause immediate, material, and irreparable harm to LLS, its business and
operations. As a consequence, Provider covenants to take all steps and efforts necessary to keep the
Proprietary Matters confidential (the "Confidentiality Covenant"). Consistent with the foregoing,
Provider also agrees to strictly limit access, use, dissemination, disclosure, reproduction, and distribution
of the Proprietary Matters in accordance with the purposes set forth in this Agreement. Any failure by
Provider to keep the Proprietary Matters strictly confidential shall be deemed an immediate and material
breach of this Agreement and will entitle LLS to institute any and all necessary action against Provider
which LLS deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, seeking temporary and permanent
injunctive relief against Provider and any other persons or entities.
12. Data Security And System Integration: Provider understands that transmitting consumer
information that includes, but is not limited to, credit data, social security numbers, and other personal
information, as well as storage of such data outside of the Software, poses a security risk. Provider
agrees to take all precautions necessary to ensure that no sensitive data obtained from the Software is
transferred via an insecure method nor stored on an insecure computer, database, server, or any other
machine or equipment. Provider agrees that LLS shall not be responsible for problems or damages
relating to the integration and functioning of software, applications, and other third party systems.
13. Document Destruction: Upon the request of LLS or a Financial Institution, Provider will destroy,
by shredding or burning, any Loan documents in its possession, including without limitation original
signed agreements between Financial Institutions and Clients.
14. Late Charges: A late charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month will be added on
balances thirty (30) days past due.
15. Termination: This Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the following terms and
conditions:
a. Immediately and automatically upon the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal
Term, provided that either Party has notified the other, in writing, of such Party's intent
to terminate this Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial
Term or the applicable Renewal Term, in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement.
b. By LLS upon ten (10) days written notice to Provider after the occurrence of a breach
or default by Provider hereunder.
c. Immediately upon termination, all amounts due and owing by Provider to LLS will be
deducted and processed for payment to LLS.
The Confidentiality Covenant and the Credit Union Financing Prohibition shall survive any termination
of this Agreement.

whether the claim or defense is true or false or brought in good faith. The foregoing agreements to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless shall survive full payment of the Loan and termination of this
Agreement.

performance of each Loan made by a Financial Institution when and if Provider, without the applicable
Financial Institution's prior written consent, modifies the documents related to the Loan or makes any
