INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT


THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between, Management Revenue Group LLC, at:
“635 Buyers Rd. Suite 5 Collegeville, PA 19426”, hereinafter referred to as "MRG or MRG LLC)",
and, “___________________________”, address: ____________________________________________,
hereinafter referred to as "Representative". (Number, Street, City, State and Zip)

WHEREAS MRG LLC is engaged in the marketing and sale of H. Pylori Multiplex PCR Testing services
on behalf of Tzam Diagnostics LLC; and Representative desires to be engaged to acquire accounts on
behalf of MRG LLC in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1. MRG LLC hereby appoints “____________________________” as a Field Consultant to work one or


more Territories for MRG LLC on behalf of Tzam Diagnostics LLC, understanding that while they are an
Independent Contractor, they are NOT authorized to represent MRG LLC outside their assigned territory
and they are NOT a direct representative of TZAM Diagnostics LLC. TZAM Diagnostics LLC has
established Distributor relationships with EXCLUSIVE areas that no other Distributor or their
representatives may cross into to work. Failure to follow these conditions will result in termination.
2. Representative shall devote such time, energy and skill on a regular and consistent basis as is
necessary to promote and sell Company's services in the specified one or more Territories during the term
of this Agreement. Representative shall direct their efforts at generating business by IN PERSON efforts
from gastrointestinal laboratories, surgery centers and endoscopic laboratories. This is not a
telemarketing, mass communications or e-mail based position; it is a field based opportunity. The
aforementioned customers are intended only to be examples of the nature and type of market to which
MRG LLC desires that its services be offered and should not be construed as a limitation upon the
contracts within the designated Territory that can be made by the Representative under this Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing, Representative shall assist MRG LLC and shall perform any and all other acts
required or requested in connection with MRG LLC's business and the services offered, including, but not
limited to, advisory services to enhance marketing and promotion of LRG LLC's products and processes
as may be requested from time to time by MRG LLC. Representative shall periodically, or at any time
upon MRG LLC's request, submit appropriate documentation of any and all sales and promotional efforts
performed and to be performed for MRG LLC pursuant to this Agreement; provided however that
Representative shall not produce or distribute written material promoting or describing MRG LLC's
services, or those of any of its clients without the prior written consent of the President of MRG LLC.

3. Representative shall be entitled to compensation as set forth in Attachment A.


The compensation rate set forth above shall commence as of the date of the formal assignment of the one
or more Territories from MRG LLC; provided, however that no compensation will be due and payable to
Representative until 7 days after receipt of payment by MRG LLC from its customer under the contract
procured by all Representatives for any underlying invoice. Any and all commissions payable to
Representative under this Agreement shall terminate on the first day of the full month after termination of
this Agreement and except as may be set forth below; MRG LLC shall then be discharged and released of
any further obligation to pay any additional compensation to Representative under this Agreement.

• If at the end of the 1st year of this agreement the Representative has achieved an average weekly

following the end of this initial agreement, the Representative may be removed by the Company

producing a minimum of 20 (twenty) new tests per week and they have not already reached an
average weekly production of 100 (one hundred) tests per week, the relationship between the
Representative and the Company may be terminated at the discretion of MRG LLC with no
additional compensation will be due the Representative under this specific agreement.

of the secrets, methods or systems used by MRG LLC in any facet of their business process. All customer
