Government Guaranteed Loan Exchange™, Small Business Loan Exchange™, and ScoreEdge™ User Agreement This agreement ("Agreement") between Edgeware Analytics, Inc. ("Edgeware," "Our," or "We") and You ("User," "Lender," "Your," or "You") provides for the use of the Government Guaranteed Loan Exchange ("GovGex"), the Small Business Loan Exchange ("LX") (collectively: "The Exchanges"), and the ScoreEdge Small Business Credit Score ("ScoreEdge"). All Your uses of The Exchanges and ScoreEdge are subject to the terms of this User Agreement. Edgeware reserves the right to terminate Your access to The Exchanges and ScoreEdge and to modify the products without notice. ScoreEdge is a predictive model; developed and owned by Edgeware, which evaluates the likelihood a prospective small business loan ("Deal") will perform as committed based on information available at loan application time. LX is an internet-based system, developed and owned by Edgeware, which allows Users ("Posters") with Deals they do not intend to fund to make such Deals available, on a commission or referral-fee basis, to other Users ("Browsers") who seek to potentially fund such Deals. GovGex is an internet-based system, developed and owned by Edgeware, which allows Users ("Sellers") who own government guaranteed loans to make available the government guaranteed portion ("GGP") of those loans to other Users ("Buyers") who seek to potentially acquire such GGPs. Each Deal and GGP Posted to the Exchanges may, at our discretion, generate a ScoreEdge score or other analysis. User Acknowledgements 1.
