As a Team Member, I agree to not highlight or link NPRs service on my website(s) without prior notification and permission.

27. I understand that I am not permitted to distort or modify any links or redirection addresses that originate through NPR or its websites or pages, and that I am not permitted to use ANY links that do not begin with nopurchaserequired.biz/.. in relationship to NPR business or its callers. I further acknowledge the following:

Identity and Other Compliance Regulations You must turn in all of the following documentation without exception. Failure to do so with 60 days of hire will result in immediate termination of your contract. Also, you will not receive any commissions after 30 days until said documents are filed and your status is cleared. Completed Application Form (on-line) Signed NPR Independent Contractors Agreement (online) IP verification Registration (through website) Copy of Current State Drivers License or State issued ID Copy of Secondary ID (Social Security card, Voters Registration Card, Passport, birth certificate, etc) Proof of Residence (at least one utility bill, statement, etc. with a date on it at least in the same month of submission) List of other residence in location where work will be performed (over 16) W9 3 character references (no more than 1 family member)

Please note: Copies of credit cards, library cards and employment badges are not valid forms of id. Employment badges with a picture may be accepted on a case-by-case exception basis, if and only if necessary, when accompanied by a letter from your corporate office with your name, social security number, date of birth included in the letter. All information will be verified. Felony Clause: Due to the nature of our work, there are certain positions and/or duties that we cannot hire someone with a Felony background for. However, we do have a Second Chance program that may allow you employment. Therefore, under strictest of probation, certain exceptions will be made. There are no set guidelines for the exception, it is done on a case by case basis, and depends on many factors including the Lords leading through prayer. However, concealed or erroneous information will lead to an automatic termination of agreement. 28. Additionally, I understand and will comply with the following: Your website and NPR Gmail address that is created is considered the property of NPR and to be used ONLY for NPR purposes. NPR will ALWAYS have password access to said entities. You must complete the registration and turn it the information required. Failure to do so will result in termination of this agreement Should you leave NPR, your registration information will be relinquished back to you for your private use. Your weekly report should mirror your daily dispositions and include any registered callers, callers that are not ready to be submitted and the ones you have already turned in. This is not only for statistical purposes, but to make sure that we all on the same page. It is also a productivity tracker, and will be taken into consideration during reviews. Failure to comply with the protocol outlined in the manual can result in less commission or termination of contract. You MUST complete a disposition form for EACH caller or lead. Failure to do so can result in loss commissions. Repeated neglect can result in contract termination. You must Skype when you are starting work. You must do the same when you call it a day ie. Finish working for the day. You must also follow all proper Skype status protocols

-3Copyright 2009 No Purchase Required, Inc.

Being dormant (not working, calling, etc.) for more than one (1) hour means that you are not working and you must sign out of Skype (be invisible) completely. You may sign back in should you begin working again. You will have a Contract Review every 3-6 months. This is where we discuss your performance, strengths, areas marked for improvement and see how we can make you even better. Your commission may be modified (increased or decreased) at that time. You will be notified in the review. You cannot for any reason whatsoever duplicate anything that is giving to you from our company. You may not copy/paste from our website for personal use other than advertisementswhich should be previewed anyway. Failure to have marketing materials approved could result in loss commission, fees, and/or termination of your contract. You are required to follow-up with your customers every 48-72 hours (for applicable jobs). If you do not wish to do so, you must tell us at the time you submit the lead. This will result in a commission reduction of 10% or $10.00 (whichever is greater) of your total commission, but you will not be expected to keep up with the client on a regular basis, nor will you be seen as out-of-compliance. [This is primarily for Business to Business positions, Invoice Factoring and some Fulfillment and Primary Debt Management Specialists) NPR has the right to refuse a lead without explanation though, in truth, we will usually have a very detailed one that is given to you at the time of rejection for training purposes. We do NOT accept third party broker leads unless you have it in writing that he has agreed to be compensated out of your commission. If he is paid by the client he must waive this commission because it may interfere with the negotiated points of the deal. When at all possible, it will be negotiated to keep his original commission in the contract but all funds must come through NPR first. Do NOT negotiate a commission with a third party unless it is coming out of your own commission. We will NOT raise your commission to compensate a third party without prior authorization. Any arrangements negotiated without prior permission or approval that involves funds above and beyond your commission percentage will not be honored. If you agree to pay an amount to a third party that is larger than it should be, but still within your commission limit the third party will be paid FIRST. Third parties are required to fill out a contract and W9 form. We will not be held responsible for leads that are not turned in correctly, paperwork that is filled out incorrectly and not corrected, and for customer calls that we have specifically asked you to make.

I acknowledge and agree to each and all terms and conditions above. I understand that this contract is considered valid and binding upon my typing my name, email address, address, phone number, last 4 digits of my social and IP address in the form below. The address bar should read: http://www.nopurchaserequired.biz/independent-contractors-agreement.html This is the ONLY valid site for contract agreement.
