  2. Referral Partner, by virtue of its professional contacts, experience in the industry, or other specialized qualifications, desires to form a referral relationship with Glorius, whereby Referral Partner refers potential mortgage lenders (“Potential Lenders”) and/or non-consumer mortgage borrowers (“Potential Borrowers) to Glorius for the possible funding of loan requests submitted through the Glorius Platform.
  3. Glorius is agreeable to engaging the services of Referral Partner to refer Potential Lenders and/or Potential Borrowers to Glorius subject to the terms and conditions as detailed in this agreement.
  4. This Agreement is intended to set forth the terms and conditions of the referral relationship between Glorius and Referral Partner and the terms and conditions that will govern the referral of Potential Lenders and/or Potential Borrowers by Referral Partner to Glorius.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, Glorius and Referral Partner agree as follows:

  1. General Provisions. Upon the Parties execution of this Agreement, Referral Partner shall from time to time refer Potential Lenders and/or Potential Borrowers to Glorius, subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Glorius reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject or decline to enter into the Agreement with any Potential Lenders and/or Potential Borrowers or any other person or entity, for any reason.
  2. Referral Process. Glorius will deliver to Referral Partner a personalized link (the “Referral Link”) for distribution to Potential Lenders and/or Potential Borrowers. The Referral Link will direct Potential Lenders and/or Borrowers to Glorius’ website (the “Glorius Website”) where they will have the opportunity to register as a lender (“Glorius Lender”) or borrower (“Glorius Borrower”) user of the Glorius Platform. Each Potential Lender that becomes a Glorius Lender after arriving at the Glorius Website through the Referral Link shall be referred herein as a “Lender Referral.” Each Potential Borrower that becomes a Glorius borrower after arriving at the Glorius Website through the referral Link shall be referred herein as a “Borrower Referral.”
  3. Registration. Following any such referral by Referral Partner of a Potential Lender or a Potential Borrower to the Glorius Website, Glorius shall be free to accept or reject the registration of the Potential Lender or Potential Borrower in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event that Glorius accepts the registration of a Potential Lender or a Potential Borrower, Referral Partner shall have no further involvement in the Potential Lender’s or Potential Borrower’s relationship and dealings with Glorius. Glorius shall have no liability to Referral Partner for any failure by Glorius to accept the registration of any Potential Lender or Potential Borrower. Referral Partner shall not represent to any Potential Lender or Potential Borrower that Glorius has approved or will approve any registration. Glorius may terminate a relationship with any lender or borrower so approved at any time, in its sole discretion, with no obligation to Referral Partner, other than the payment of any applicable Referral Fees earned by and owing to Referral Partner up to the date of termination.
  4. Terms of the Agreement. This Agreement begins on the Effective Date, and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Section 6, continues for a period of two years (the “Term”). Thereafter, subject to Section 6, the Term shall be extended automatically for consecutive terms of 12 months (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either Party provides written notice of its decision not to renew at least thirty (30) days before the end of the initial Term or Renewal Term.
  5. Compensation. During the Term, Glorius shall pay to Referral Partner a referral fee (“Referral Fee”) for each Lender or Borrower Referral that completes a mortgage loan closing on the Glorius Platform (“Glorius Loan”). The Referral Fee payable to Referral Partner shall be based on a percentage of the aggregate volume of closed Glorius Loans completed by Lender and/or Borrower Referrals referred by Referral Partner during a one (1) month period (the “Compensation Period”) (the first such period commencing on the date of the first of the month in the same month the Glorius loan is closed), in accordance with the Referral Fee schedule as set forth in Exhibit A. The Referral Fee shall be paid in U.S. Dollars on the tenth calendar day of the following month for each Compensation Period. Glorius will not pay a Referral Fee to Referral Partner for any Lender Referral or Borrower Referral that registers as a Glorius Lender or a Glorius Borrower but does not close a Glorius Loan. Referral Partner shall only be paid a Referral Fee by Glorius for Glorius Loans closed by Lender Referrals and/or Borrower Referrals referred by Referral Partner. Glorius will not pay Referral Fees to Referral Partner for Glorius Loans closed by Referral Partner [outside of Glorius’ website].
  6. Termination. Each Party reserves the right to terminate this Agreement: (i) immediately and without notice in the event that the other Party breaches any provision of this Agreement or any other related agreement; (ii) upon providing the other Party with at least thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement, for any or no reason; (iii) upon a determination that the other Party is subject to a judgment in a civil or criminal proceeding that materially adversely affects the Party’s ability to perform under this Agreement; or (iv) upon the determination that the act, omission, or written or oral statement of the other Party has materially adversely affected the reputation, goodwill, rights, licenses or franchises of the other Party. Termination of this Agreement will not affect any other right or remedy at law or in equity of either Party. In the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Glorius shall pay to Referral Partner all compensation accrued through the date of termination in accordance with Section 5.
