Training Network Partner Agreement

This Memorandum of Understanding ("Agreement") is entered into between 2Exclusive LLC-S d/b/a Elevate for Humanity Career & Technical Institute ("Program Owner" or "Elevate"), a workforce training provider operating under Indiana law, and the collaborating organization identified at the time of execution ("Collaborating Party").

For the purposes of clarity and legal precision, a "partnership" is defined as a business relationship in which two or more parties jointly own and operate a business enterprise, share governance authority, share profits and losses, and maintain equal or negotiated control over business operations, including pricing, staffing, branding, and strategic direction.

This Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, co-ownership arrangement, franchise relationship, or employment relationship between the parties. No party shall represent itself as a partner, co-owner, co-founder, or governing authority of the other in any public communication, grant application, funding proposal, or legal document.

All program ownership, curriculum, intellectual property, tuition structures, credential relationships, and operational systems remain the sole property and exclusive authority of Elevate for Humanity. The Collaborating Party participates solely in the role designated in Section 5 of this Agreement.

This Agreement establishes a collaborative training arrangement in which Elevate for Humanity serves as the Program Owner and Primary Training Provider. The Collaborating Party supports program delivery through facility hosting, program facilitation, or student referral as defined in Section 5.

Elevate retains sole authority over program design, curriculum, learning platforms, tuition structures, credential alignment, branding, compliance standards, and all student program policies. The Collaborating Party does not obtain ownership rights, licensing rights, governance authority, or decision-making authority over the training program or its operations through this Agreement.

Elevate for Humanity operates a Training Network Model in which Elevate serves as the sole Program Owner and Primary Training Provider. Authorized organizations participate as approved Training Network Sites for the purpose of delivering in-person or hybrid components of the program under Elevate's standardized delivery model.

Elevate retains sole authority to expand the training program into additional states and jurisdictions. Expansion into additional states or training regions may occur through the approval of new Program Hosts or delivery sites without requiring approval from existing collaborators.

Elevate operates as an eligible training provider under Indiana's INTraining / Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) system, administered by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD). The Collaborating Party does not hold ETPL status independently under this Agreement and may not represent itself as a training provider for Elevate programs without written authorization. All programs delivered under this Agreement must comply with federal nondiscrimination requirements under Title VI, Section 504, the ADA, and WIOA.

The Collaborating Party participates under one of the following tiers, as designated in Schedule A. Elevate reserves the right to reclassify a Collaborating Party's tier upon 30 days written notice if the party's actual contributions change.

Employers participating in work-based learning, job shadowing, internships, or hiring pipelines must comply with all applicable wage and labor laws. Employer participation does not create a training provider relationship or entitle the employer to program revenue.

• Option B — Work-Based Learning Stipend: Employer provides a stipend during the training period.
• Option C — Hire Upon Completion: Employer commits to hiring graduates upon credential completion under a separate employer agreement.

• Curriculum development and maintenance
• Marketing, recruitment, and student outreach
• Compliance, reporting, and ETPL administration
• Program administration and management

Elevate will provide a written cost reconciliation within 15 days of cohort completion. The Collaborating Party may request supporting documentation within 10 days of receipt.

All curriculum materials, instructional content, learning management systems, operational procedures, branding, credential alignments, and program methodologies used in Elevate programs constitute proprietary intellectual property owned exclusively by Elevate for Humanity.

Training Network Sites receive limited, non-transferable authorization to deliver program components solely for the purpose of supporting approved training cohorts under this Agreement. This authorization terminates automatically upon expiration or termination of this Agreement.

The Collaborating Party acquires no ownership interest, license, or right to replicate, sublicense, or independently operate any Elevate program.

The Collaborating Party acknowledges that the training model, curriculum, instructional materials, operational systems, credential alignments, and program structure used by Elevate constitute proprietary intellectual property.

The Collaborating Party agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years following termination, it will not directly or indirectly:

• Replicate, reproduce, or develop a substantially similar training program using the materials, systems, or methods provided through this collaboration
• Solicit or redirect enrolled trainees, instructors, credential partners, or participating employers into a competing program derived from the Elevate training model
• Use Elevate's program structure, curriculum framework, or credential relationships to apply independently for ETPL status or workforce funding for a competing program

All decisions regarding tuition pricing, curriculum content, credential partnerships, program policies, instructional standards, student eligibility, and training delivery methods remain under the exclusive authority of Elevate for Humanity.

The Collaborating Party may not modify program structure, tuition rates, curriculum materials, or credential requirements without written authorization from Elevate. Unauthorized modifications constitute grounds for immediate termination under Section 12.

All students enrolled in Elevate programs remain participants of the Elevate training program regardless of the training location where in-person components are delivered. Student records, enrollment data, and credential progress are maintained exclusively by Elevate.

Collaborating Parties do not obtain ownership rights over student enrollment, tuition structures, credential access, or post-program placement services. Student data shared with Collaborating Parties is governed by FERPA and requires written student consent. Attendance records must be submitted to Elevate within 48 hours of each session.

This Agreement is effective for one (1) year from execution and renews automatically for successive one-year terms unless either party provides 30 days written notice of non-renewal.

Elevate may terminate immediately upon written notice if the Collaborating Party:

• Fails to maintain required insurance coverage

• Represents itself as a partner, co-owner, or governing authority of Elevate
• Operates outside its designated tier without written authorization
• Modifies curriculum, tuition, or program structure without written authorization
• Fails to remit required documentation within specified timeframes

Either party may terminate for any other cause with 30 days written notice. Cohorts already in progress continue under this Agreement until completion.

Tier 1 Facility Hosts must carry:

• General liability (minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate)
• Facility/property insurance covering the training space
• Workers' compensation if facility staff are present during training

Proof of insurance must be provided before the first cohort and upon each annual renewal. Elevate must be named as additional insured on the Tier 1 facility policy.
