1. Scope of Agreement
1.1 Subject to the terms hereof, Company hereby engages Referral Party, and Referral Party hereby accepts

efforts to only present the Company with Qualified Veterinary Candidates.
1.3 Company will have five (5) business days from receipt of the name, contact information and other
information requested by the Company with respect to any prospective Qualified Veterinary Candidate that the Referral
Party intends to introduce to the Company to determine whether the Company has already been provided with an
introduction or possible introduction to such prospective Qualified Veterinary Candidate through its own efforts or by
some other source (each an “Existing Prospective Candidate”), in which case the Company will provide the Referral
Party with reasonable evidence demonstrating that such prospective Qualified Veterinary Candidate is, in fact, an
Existing Prospective Candidate, and accordingly, the Referral Party will not be entitled to a Success Fee with respect to
such Existing Prospective Candidate and the Referral Party will not interact with such Existing Prospective Candidate on
behalf of the Company unless the Company specifically requests in writing that the Referral Party interact with such
Existing Prospective Candidate on behalf of the Company, in which case, the Referral Party may be entitled to a fee with

request of the Company, the Referral Party will cease interacting on behalf of the Company with a Qualified Veterinary
Candidate.

relationship with any Qualified Veterinary Candidate even after an Introduction Request, in which case the Referral Party
understands and agrees that the Referral Party will have no claim against the Company with respect to such non-pursuit or
abandonment of the pursuit of such Qualified Veterinary Candidate.
1.6 Referral Party shall only use the approved materials provided by Company to market and promote
Company to targeted Qualified Veterinary Candidates in connection with the Agreement. Referral Party will not alter,
modify, dilute or misuse any materials provided by Company.

determined by the Company.
2.3 No Success Fee will be paid to the Referral Party with respect to an Existing Prospective Candidate or

the date on which the Referral Party first presents such Qualified Veterinary Candidate to the Company.
2.4 The Company will pay any earned Success Fee to the Referral Party within thirty (30) days after such
Success Fee is earned.

discretion, engage any other person or company to identify, introduce, solicit, or otherwise assist with recruiting potential
Company Affiliates anywhere.
4. Confidentiality Agreement. The Referral Party acknowledges that the Referral Party is bound by and
