The above pricing enables Alliance0ne to remit 100% of the principle amount assigned to Client, when collected.
(E.g., a general collection primary account of $100 would beassessed a fee of 30.50% or$30.50, fora total of $130.50
owing. Upon collecting $130.50, AllianceOne would retain $30.50 or .2357% of $130.50, and remit $100 dollars or
100% of the original amount assigned to Client.) Client directs Alliance0ne to perform the ministerial act of adding
the collection fee to the assigned amount on its computer at the time of placement. All accounts listed prior the
effective date of this letter agreement will remain at then -current rates.
Client will provide notice to account debtors prior to assignment to collection where required by RCW 19.16.500(2):

existence of the debt and (ii) that the debt may be assigned to a collection agency for collection if the debt is not
paid, and (b) at least thirty days have elapsed from the time notice was attempted."
