1. Platinum Plus Financial Corporation Program Details

PLATINUM PLUS FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Platinum Plus Financial Corporation is the vehicle that the Globalink Network has constructed to provide for our member-to-member financial guarantee program. 

Purpose of Platinum Plus

The purpose of the Platinum Plus Program is to amass a pool of funds from which member companies may be compensated for money lost in the handling of a transaction for or with another member company that has become insolvent or has declared bankruptcy or otherwise disbanded. 

Platinum Plus will not pay to settle disputes between companies who remain in business except in extreme cases determined by the board of directors to be appropriate for consideration.  Such disputes must have been brought to the attention of Bill Siemens for resolution at least 60 days prior and must clearly indicate the intractability of one of the parties.  If such a claim is approved for payment, the claimant must sign over the debt to Platinum Plus for collection.

Compensation Limitation

The amount of compensation would be limited to US$20,000 per participating company from losses caused by one participating company, up to a maximum aggregate claim of 80 percent of the fund balance to be divided proportionately among the claimants.  As the fund builds and a history of experience is developed, the $20,000-per-company limit could be raised if the shareholders decide so at a future International Meeting.  Members could also vote to set a cap for the fund, after which time original members would no longer pay.  New members would pay for the number of years equal to that for which the founding members paid.

Controlling Authority

The Platinum Plus fund will be overseen by the Globalink Advisory Committee acting in the capacity of the initial Platinum Plus Financial Corp. Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors will also approve or reject claims against the fund by a simple majority vote, the results of which will be available to all parties involved.  All member companies must purchase one irrevocable share of Platinum Plus Financial Corp. at the price of US$1.00 and sign a stock purchase agreement which also states that they will agree to the decisions of the Board of Directors and hold harmless its individual members or Platinum Plus Financial Corp. itself, for the final determination.  In case of claim rejection, the member company will remain free to pursue any other means of collection at its disposal, and the decision of the board of directors should not be construed as having any legal bearing on the collection process.

Immediate notification of the Globalink membership will be given regarding any participating company against which claims are paid, and we will use all available means to recoup the money for the fund.

Corporate Structure

Platinum Plus Financial Corp. has been set up as a non-dividend-paying Texas Corporation owned equally by the participating companies, with the members of the Globalink Advisory Committee serving as the Board of Directors and Bill Siemens as the day-to-day administrator.  A shareholders’ meeting will be held at the October 2003 International Meeting, at which time the directors will be elected and retained for their specific terms by popular vote. 

Globalink will make no profit from the activities of the corporation and contributes its administrative services at no charge.

Cost and Eligibility Guidelines

The annual per-company contribution to the fund will be $500.  There will be no refund in the case of a member departing the Globalink Network for any reason.  All members of the Globalink Network, in good standing, will be eligible for full available coverage once they have paid the annual fee and have been a member of Globalink for at least three months. 

Fund Payout Restrictions

Checks will be written against the fund balance by the administrators only for: 

1. Loss compensation as described above
   
2. Collection expenses incurred by the program administrators with prior approval of the board of directors
   
3. Income taxes payable by the corporation. Under the Federal and State rules governing the incorporation of Platinum Plus, all funds collected will be considered revenues taxable after expenses as income at the corporate rate.  The alternatives of setting up an insurance corporation or offshore corporation are deemed to be equally as costly, of dubious legality, and far more time consuming.  Viable tax-saving alternatives to the initial setup of Platinum Plus may certainly be considered by the board of directors and the WCA-member owners at any time.
   
4. Any professional fees and other out-of-pocket expense such as may be incurred by Globalink in the setup and operation of the corporation.
   
Globalink will provide an accounting of any disbursements from the fund to the elected corporate treasurer on a monthly basis.

Fund Administration

Funds will be deposited in an interest-bearing account or board of directors-approved investment whose transactions will be open to the members of the board and any other Globalink, Platinum Plus Member Company desiring to see them. 

Disbanding of the Fund         

If the fund is ever disbanded for any reason and monies remain in the fund, they shall be paid out to all currently participating contributors on a pro rata basis.

  1. MEMBER TO MEMBER PROGRAM

Platinum Plus and Purchaser agree as follows concerning the Platinum Plus Member-to-Member Program (“Program”):

2.1. Purchaser has read the Platinum Plus outline of the Program and understands the terms, conditions, and limitations of the Program and agrees to abide by them, as they are amended form time to time by Platinum Plus. ______ (Initials)

2.2. In particular, Purchaser understands that the Program’s compensation claim limit is $20,000 per member including all of it’s branch offices enrolled in The Globalink Network to a maximum of 80 percent of the balance of the amount in the Program for the aggregate claim, and the total claim paid to all claimants may be pro-rated to a lesser amount per each member if 80 percent of the fund balance in the Program is insufficient to cover the entire sum of all valid claims.

2.3. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless all agents, officers, owners and board members of Platinum Plus for all decisions made pursuant to the evaluation of a claim involving the Program and for all other actions or inactions taken by them.  Purchaser also agrees to hold Platinum Plus harmless in the event of errors or omissions in the execution of its business.

2.4. Purchaser understands that its share of ownership of Platinum Plus and any contributions made will revert to Platinum Plus in the event Purchaser’s membership is discontinued in The Globalink Network or for any other reason at Platinum Plus’s sole discretion.

2.5. Purchaser will pay the annual contribution to the Program (US$500) within fifteen (fifteen) days after receipt of an n invoice. If the annual contribution is not received from the Purchaser by the 30th day after the invoice is issued, the Purchaser’s eligibility in the program is suspended until said funds are received by Platinum Plus Financial Corporation.

2.6. Purchaser will present all disputes with other members of Platinum Plus to The Globalink Network, Inc. management for resolution within 90 days of the conception of the dispute prior to asking for compensation from the Program.
