BINDING LETTER OF INTENT

This Binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") is made by and between Pazoo, Inc., or its designee and/or assignee ("Pazoo") and MA and Associates, LLC ("MA," and together with Pazoo, each a "Party" and collectively the "Parties") and sets forth the general terms and conditions of the Parties agreement for Pazoo to acquire 40% of the Membership interest of MA(the "Proposed Transaction"). This letter contains the binding provisions of understanding between Pazoo and MA.  This Letter of Intent is intended to, and does, impose legal obligations on both Parties to proceed with the Proposed Transaction, subject to the conditions set forth herein.

The Proposed Transaction requires additional documentation and approvals, including the preparation and approval of one or more final agreements (the "Final Agreements") setting forth the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction in further detail. Before the Final Agreements are reached, we would like to confirm that we share an understanding of the principal terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction, and that all Parties are willing to proceed in mutual good faith to work toward preparation of the Final Agreements and a closing consistent with the terms stated herein.
