FOR BUSINESS FUNDING NOW

This independent sales organization agreement (this "ISO Agreement"), is made and executed on this (the "Execution Date"), between BUSINESS FUNDING NOW / www.BusinessFundingNow.com including its affiliates and assigns (collectively, "DTA") and the independent sales organization, (the "ISO").

WHEREAS, the ISO has completed and submitted to DTA for review and approval, a truthful and correct ISO application (the "ISOA"), the veracity of which DTA is relying upon in its determination to execute this ISO Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the ISO is in the business of marketing products similar to the Business/Personal Funding or Lines of Credit to merchants, and in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions outlined in this ISO Agreement, the ISO is entering this ISO Agreement so that it has the capability of offering the Funding and/or Credit to its clientele.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the DTA and the ISO (each individually a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), intending to be legally bound agree as follows.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR; TAXES AND FEES. Each Party will act as an independent contractor of the other Party and will not be considered or deemed to be an agent, employee, partner or joint venture partner of the other Party. Each Party will have no authority to contract for or to bind the other Party in any manner (including with respect to any MSA) and will not represent itself as an agent or employee of the other Party. Each Party bears full responsibility (and the other Party will have no liability whatsoever) for any and all federal and state taxes, employment taxes, FICA and FUTA, unemployment insurance taxes, business expenses, or any other required taxes, assessments, or other fees arising in connection with such Party's business or its performance under this ISO Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may agree to share in certain expenses associated with marketing the Business/Personal Funding or Lines of Credit. For the purposes of this ISO Agreement, the term affiliate shall mean, with respect to a specified Party, any Party that directly or indirectly through one or more of its intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with, the specified Party (an "Affiliate").

TERM AND TERMINATION. The term of this ISO Agreement shall begin on the Execution Date and will continue for an initial term of one (1) year unless otherwise terminated by either party upon five (5) days of written notice (the "Initial Term"). After the Initial Term, this ISO Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms unless otherwise terminated by either party upon ninety (5) days written notice (the "Extended Term" and, together with the Initial Term, the "Term"). This ISO Agreement may be terminated immediately by DTA, in its sole discretion, upon breach by the ISO of any of its obligations herein or in the event that DTA determines that the ISO has caused any detriment to the business of DTA or any of its affiliates, other programs, officers, employees or Merchants.

NEW PRODUCT MARKETING. DTA retains the right to market existing, add-on, or any newly developed products to Referrals and the ISO shall be reasonably compensated for any Funding that occurs in connection therewith ("Alternative Funding"). The Commission to the ISO to be paid in the event of an Alternative Funding shall be determined by DTA at its sole discretion.

NON-INTERFERENCE/NON-COMPETE. During the Term and for a period of two (2) years subsequent to the expiration of the Term (the "Expiration Date"), the ISO shall not, nor shall it permit, any subsidiary, affiliate, or successor in interest or any of their respective officers, employees, agents or nominees to: (i) interfere, in any manner whatsoever, either directly or indirectly by any arrangement whatsoever, with any business relationship of DTA with any party (each a "DTA Client"); (ii) cause or attempt to cause any DTA Client to terminate its relationship with DTA or encourage such entity to utilize the services of any entity other than DTA, or interfere or impede DTA in securing any Renewal; (iii) provide any sort of funding to a DTA Client; or (iv) develop internally any products or services that compete with DTA. In the event that any court shall hold that the time, territory, or any other provision of this Section constitutes an unreasonable restriction against the ISO, the ISO hereby agrees that the provisions hereof shall not be rendered void but shall apply as to such time, territory and to such other extent that such court may judicially determine constitutes a reasonable restriction in the circumstances involved. The Parties each request that any such court make a determination of what would constitute a reasonable restriction under the circumstances involved and reform this ISO Agreement accordingly.

NON-SOLICITATION. Until the Expiration Date, the ISO will not, nor will it permit any of its affiliates to, hire any of the current officers or employees or agents of DTA (an "Employee") or any of its affiliates, so long as the Employee is employed or retained by such Party or its affiliates, without the prior written consent of such Party.

Each Party acknowledges that it may directly or indirectly disclose Confidential Information to one another in the course of negotiation of and performance of this ISO Agreement. All such Confidential Information disclosed hereunder shall remain the sole property of the disclosing Party (or other third parties), and the receiving Party shall have no interest in, or rights with respect thereto, except as set forth herein. Each Party agrees to treat such Confidential Information with the same degree of care and security as it treats its most confidential information. Each party may disclose such Confidential Information to employees and agents who require such knowledge to perform services under this ISO Agreement.

Any remedies hereunder shall be in addition to any other remedies available to DTA in law or in equity.

INDEMNIFICATION. During the Term each Party (the "Indemnifying Party") will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party, its officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), in respect of any losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, "Damages") incurred or suffered by any of the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims instituted by any third party ("Third Party Claim") resulting from (a) any fraud or material misrepresentation of the Indemnifying Party contained in this ISO Agreement, or (b) any material breach by the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations, covenants or other agreements pursuant to this ISO Agreement. In connection with any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iii) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedent adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party, (iv) no conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently. In the event any of the conditions above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 13. In any event, the Indemnified Party may retain a separate co-counsel at its cost and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS ISO AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS ISO AGREEMENT UNDER ANY THEORY OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY AMOUNTS OWED TO ESE BY ANY MERCHANT SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE TWO PRECEDING SENTENCES. THE PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN

NON-CIRCUMVENTION. Client and Consultant expressly agree that this Agreement constitutes a binding contract.

I agree to the Agent Compensation Schedule.

The Agent Compensation Schedule sets out the terms of payment of compensation under the Independent Sales Organization Agreement to which this schedule is attached (the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy between the terms of this Schedule and the Agreement, the Agreement shall prevail. In the event a merchant enters into default within 30 days of being funded, BUSINESS FUNDING NOW. has the right to claw back the commission paid together with any withheld fees charged by either BUSINESS FUNDING NOW or Agent. An event of default is classified as a merchant stopping payment with their bank or missed payments of 3 consecutive or 7 non-consecutive days. BUSINESS FUNDING NOW reserves the right to exercise the clawback at any time after an event via ACH withdrawal or Stop payment on any already paid commissions. If the protected clawback is denied by Agent, BUSINESS FUNDING NOW. may offset it by deducting commissions owed to Agent. Agent hereby authorizes DTA to (i) debit the account maintained by the agent for the amount of such deficiency and/or (ii) claw back any commissions which have been paid.

Compensation is subject to change when changes are made by BUSINESS FUNDING NOW to the Program. Changes to the Program may be made by BUSINESS FUNDING NOW at any time and at BUSINESS FUNDING NOW's sole and absolute discretion while no change will be effective with respect to Agent until BUSINESS FUNDING NOW provides Agent with a notice of such change.

Agent shall be paid its one-time lump sum compensation in respect of a Merchant within 5 business days after BUSINESS FUNDING NOW is paid to the Merchant (provided that Merchant is not in default under the applicable Merchant Agreement). Initialed by: BUSINESS FUNDING NOW
