None of Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate or subsidiary of any of the foregoing intends to treat the Loan or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as being a "reportable transaction" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). If Borrower, or any other party determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof in writing. If Borrower so notifies Lender, Borrower acknowledges that Lender may treat the Loan as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and Lender will maintain the lists and other records, including the identity of the applicable party to the Loan as required by such Regulation.

 

6.13        Taxes .

 

(a)           Borrower’s Obligation for Payment of Taxes . Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes when due and payable, except where contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.

  20  

 

 

(b)           Contest of Taxes . Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes, provided that (i) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the applicable Taxes from Borrower and from the Collateral or Borrower shall have paid all of the applicable Taxes under protest, (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, and (iii) neither the Collateral nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost so long as the contest is being pursued.

 

(c)           Effect of Change in Law . If at any time any law is enacted which deducts from the value of real property, for taxation purposes, any lien thereon, or changes in any way the laws now in force for the taxation of Debts secured thereby, or the manner of collection of any such taxes so as to affect any interest of Lender hereunder then Borrower shall pay such tax if it may lawfully do so. If Borrower is not permitted by Applicable Law to pay such tax, or if Borrower is not permitted by Applicable Law to immediately reimburse Lender for any such payment, then the Indebtedness, at the option of Lender, upon not less than the lesser of (i) ninety (90) days written notice, or (ii) such shorter period as may be required to ensure compliance by Lender with Applicable Law, shall become due and payable.

 

6.14        Insurance Coverage . For so long as the Security Instrument is in effect, Borrower shall continuously maintain insurance in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(a)          At its own cost, Borrower shall obtain and maintain at all times during the term of the Loan hazard (property) insurance on the Collateral (each a “ Policy ” or “ Policies ”) and Lender shall be identified in each Policy as a “Lender Loss Payable” or “Loss Payee” specifically described as follows: “Fifth Third Bank, its successors and/or assigns as their respective interests may appear”. Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence of all such insurance required hereunder.

 

(b)          The Policies to be obtained and maintained by Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement shall be issued by responsible insurance carriers with a Best’s rating of no less than A/VII, licensed to do business in the State of Florida , who are acceptable to Lender and shall be in such form and with such endorsements, waivers and deductibles as Lender shall designate or approve. Without limitation on the foregoing:

 

(i)          All Policies shall name Borrower as the insured, and shall name Lender as a loss payee, in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, attached to such Policy or Policies whenever applicable, and providing, among other matters, that all Insurance Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) shall be paid to Lender).

 

  21  

 

 

(ii)         All Policies shall contain: (1) the agreement of the insurer to give Lender at least thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to cancellation or expiration of or change in such Policies, or any of them; (2) a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender and, if available Borrower; (3) an agreement that such Policies are primary and non-contributing with any insurance that may be carried by Lender; (4) a statement that the insurance shall not be invalidated should any insured waive in writing prior to a loss any or all right of recovery against any party for loss accruing to the property described in the Policy; and (5) if obtainable, a provision that no act or omission of Borrower shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance carrier to pay the amount of any loss sustained. As of the date hereof, and subject to any changes in such requirements which Lender may, in its discretion, make from time to time pursuant to its rights under this Section 6.14 , each Policy of property insurance hereunder shall contain a lender’s loss payable endorsement, lender clause, or other non-contributory clause of similar form and substance acceptable to Lender in favor of Lender.

 

(c)          Concurrently herewith, Borrower shall deliver to Lender original Policies or certificates evidencing the insurance required hereunder. Borrower shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance (or shall cause the procurement and payment) from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Borrower shall deliver to Lender such original renewal Policies or certificates at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any existing Policy.

 

(d)          Borrower, for itself, and on behalf of its insurers, hereby releases and waives any right to recover against Lender on any liability for: damages for injury to or death of persons; any loss or damage to property; any other direct or indirect loss or damage caused by fire or other risks, which loss or damage is or would be covered by the insurance required to be carried hereunder by Borrower, or is otherwise insured; or claims arising by reason of any of the foregoing, except to the extent caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

 

(e)          Lender shall not, by reason of accepting, rejecting, obtaining or failing to obtain insurance, incur any liability for (i) the existence, non-existence, form, amount or legal sufficiency thereof, (ii) the solvency or insolvency of any insurer, or (iii) the payment of losses. All insurance required hereunder or carried by Borrower shall be procured at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. Borrower shall deliver to Lender receipts satisfactory to Lender evidencing full prepayment of the Premiums therefor. In the event of foreclosure on, or other transfer of title in lieu of foreclosure of, the Collateral, all of Borrower’s interest in and to any and all Policies in force shall pass to Lender, or the transferee or purchaser as the case may be, and Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to assign in Borrower’s name to such purchaser or transferee all such Policies, which may be amended or rewritten to show the interest of such purchaser or transferee.

 

(f)          Approval by the Lender of any Policies shall not be deemed a representation by the Lender as to the adequacy of coverage of such Policies or the solvency of the insurer.

 

6.15        Casualty Loss; Proceeds of Insurance .

 

(a)          The Borrower will give the Lender prompt written notice of any material loss or damage to the Collateral, or any part thereof, by fire or other casualty.

(b)          In case of loss or damage covered by any one of the Policies in excess of $500,000.00 (the “ Insurance Threshold ”), the Lender is hereby authorized to settle and adjust any claim under such Policies (and after the entry of a decree of foreclosure, or a sale or transfer pursuant thereto or in lieu thereof, the decree creditor or such purchaser or transferee, as the case may be, are hereby authorized to settle and adjust any claim under such Policies) upon consultation with, but without requiring the consent of, the Borrower; and the Lender shall, and is hereby authorized to, collect and receipt for any and all proceeds payable under such Policies in connection with any such loss (collectively, the “ Insurance Proceeds ”). Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence effective if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment (i) of 100% of all such losses (if such loss exceeds the Insurance Threshold) directly to Lender alone, and (ii) of 100% of all such losses (if such loss is less than or equal to the Insurance Threshold) directly to Borrower alone, and in no case to Borrower and Lender jointly. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in the adjustment and collection of any such Insurance Proceeds (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) shall be so much additional Indebtedness, and shall be reimbursed to the Lender upon demand or may be paid and deducted by the Lender from such Insurance Proceeds prior to any other application thereof. Lender shall not be responsible for any failure to collect any Insurance Proceeds due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure, other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

 

(c)          Net Insurance Proceeds received by the Lender under the provisions of this Agreement or any instrument supplemental hereto or thereto shall be applied by the Lender at its option as and for a prepayment on each Note, without a prepayment fee (whether or not the same is then due or otherwise adequately secured), or shall be disbursed for repair or replacement of such Collateral (“ Restoration ”), in which event the Lender shall not be obligated to supervise Restoration work nor shall the amount so released or used be deemed a payment of the indebtedness evidenced by both Notes. If Lender elects to permit the use of Insurance Proceeds to restore such Collateral it may do all necessary acts to accomplish that purpose, including advancing additional funds and all such additional funds shall constitute part of the Debt. If Lender elects to make the Insurance Proceeds available to Borrower for the purpose of effecting the Restoration, or, following an Event of Default, elects to restore such Collateral, any excess of Insurance Proceeds above the amount necessary to complete the Restoration shall be applied as and for a prepayment on the Notes, without a prepayment fee or premium. No interest shall be payable to Borrower upon Insurance Proceeds held by Lender.

 

(d)          So long as any Indebtedness shall be outstanding and unpaid, and whether or not Insurance Proceeds are available or sufficient therefor, the Borrower shall promptly commence and complete, or cause to be commenced and completed, with all reasonable diligence, the Restoration of the Collateral as nearly as possible to the same value, condition and character which existed immediately prior to such loss or damage in accordance with the Restoration plans and in compliance with all legal requirements. Any Restoration shall be effected in accordance with procedures to be first submitted to and approved by the Lender in accordance with Section 6.17 hereof. The Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration to the extent Insurance Proceeds are not made available or are insufficient.

 

  23  

 

 

6.16        Depository Relationship . Borrower shall establish its primary operating and depository accounts with Lender on or before the Effective Date.

 

6.17        Disbursement of Insurance Proceeds and Awards .

(b)          Subject to Section 6.17(c) hereinbelow, the Lender may elect to apply the Net Proceeds to prepayment of the Indebtedness, whether then due or not. If the Debt is not prepaid in full, then the Net Proceeds shall be applied to the installments of principal and interest in the inverse order of maturity.

 

(c)          All Net Proceeds which are not applied to the payment of the Debt shall be applied to fund the payment of the costs, fees and expenses incurred for the Restoration of the Collateral as required in this Agreement.

 

(d)          Any surplus which may remain out of such Net Proceeds after payment of all costs, fees and expenses of such Restoration shall be applied to prepayment of the Debt, without the payment of a prepayment fee or prepayment premium.

 

7.            Other Negative Covenants . While any obligation of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents remains outstanding, the following provisions shall apply, except to the extent that Lender otherwise consents in writing:

7.2          Installation of Collateral . Borrower shall not install in, or use in connection with, the Collateral, any personal property which any Person other than Lender has the right to remove or repossess under any circumstances, or on which any Person other than Lender has a lien.

 

7.3          Removal of Collateral . Borrower shall not cause or permit the removal from the Premises (as defined in the Security Instrument) any items of Collateral, other than sales in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, unless: (a)  no Event of Default has occurred, and (b) Borrower promptly substitutes other items of equal or greater value, all of which items shall be free of liens (other than liens in favor of Lender or such other Person as Lender shall permit in writing) and shall be subject to the lien of the Security Instrument, and executes and delivers to Lender all documents required by Lender in connection with the attachment of such liens to such items. Borrower shall keep records of each such removal and shall make such records available to Lender upon written request from time to time.

  29  

 

 

(ii)         any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees, with respect to the operation of the Collateral, or the condition, use, possession, conduct or management of work done in or about, or from the planning, design, acquisition or any part thereof; and

Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party may only employ separate counsel at the expense of the Borrower if in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party a conflict of interest exists by reason of common representation or if all parties commonly represented do not agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding any transfer of the Collateral to another owner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower shall remain obligated to indemnify each Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section if such subsequent owner fails to indemnify any party entitled to be indemnified hereunder, unless such Indemnified Party has consented to such transfer and to the assignment of the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

3.              Payment Terms .

 

C.           Commencing on the first day of July, 2016 and on the first day of each successive month thereafter (subject to earlier prepayment as provided in Section 8 hereof), until the Loan has been fully paid and satisfied in cash, Borrower shall make payments to Lender of interest and principal of Twenty-Seven Thousand Three Hundred Sixteen and 92/100 Dollars $27,316.92).

6.              Maximum Interest Rate .

In determining whether or not interest of any kind payable hereunder exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread such payment so that the interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law; provided that if the amount of interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess. Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate.

An Event of Default under this Note shall also be deemed an Event of Default under the other Loan Documents.

 

D.           If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the option, without demand or notice, other than specified herein or in the other Loan Documents, to declare the unpaid principal of this Note, together with all accrued interest, prepayment premium, if any, and other sums secured by the Security Agreement, or other Loan Documents, at once due and payable to the extent permitted by law, to foreclose the Security Agreement and the other liens or security interests securing the payment of this Note, and to exercise any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity under the Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

E.           The remedies of Lender, as provided herein or in the Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of omission or commission of Lender, including specifically any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of the same, such waiver or release to be effected only through a written document executed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.

 

9.              Costs and Attorneys’ Fees . If any Event of Default under this Note shall occur, or if Lender incurs any expenses or costs in connection with the protection or realization of any collateral, whether or not suit is filed thereon or on any instrument granting a security interest in said collateral, Borrower promises to pay all costs of collection of every kind, including but not limited to all appraisal costs, reasonable attorneys fees, court costs, and expenses of every kind, incurred by Lender in connection with such collection or the protection or enforcement of any or all of the security for this Note, whether or not any lawsuit is filed with respect thereto.

 

 

 

 

10.            Waiver . Borrower, and each surety and endorser hereon waives grace, notice, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of default, protest, demand, presentment for payment and diligence in the collection of this Note, and in the filing of suit hereon, and agrees that his or its liability and the liability of his or its heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns for the payment hereof shall not be affected or impaired by any release or change in the security or by any increase, modification, renewal or extension of the indebtedness or its mode and time of payment. It is specifically agreed by the undersigned that the Lender shall have the right at all times to decline to make any such release or change in any security given to secure the payment hereof and to decline to make any such increase, modification, renewal or extension of the indebtedness or its mode and time of payment.

 

11.            Notices . All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be delivered in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

12.            Application of Payments . All payments on account of the indebtedness evidencing the Note shall first be applied to late charges and costs and fees incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights hereunder or under the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, second to accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance, and third to reduce unpaid principal inverse chronological order of maturity. Any payments and other amounts owing under this Note shall be made at Lender’s address above unless otherwise designated by Lender in writing.

D.           All payments under this Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payment; provided that a check will be deemed sufficient payment so long as it clears when presented for payment. Each payment of principal or interest under this Note shall be paid not later than 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the date due therefor and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Lender on the following Business Day. If any payment of principal, interest or any other amount due under this Note shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest on such principal.

All amounts payable under this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be paid by Borrower without offset or other reduction.

C.            “Default” shall mean when used in reference to this Note or any other document, or in reference to any provision or obligation under this Note or any other document, the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this Note or such other document, as the case may be.

(c)          If any Interest Period begins on a Business Day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, then the Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month ending at the end of such Interest Period.

 

G.           “ Interest Rate ” shall mean the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period.

 

H.           “ LIBOR Rate ” shall mean, for the Interest Period applicable thereto in accordance with this Note, the rate of interest (rounded upwards to the next 1/8th of one percent (1%) and adjusted by Lender for reserves if Lender is required to maintain reserves with respect to the Loan (or portion thereof)) fixed by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor thereto, or replacement thereof, as approved by Lender each an “ Alternate LIBOR Source ”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London, England time (or at the relevant time established by an Alternate LIBOR Source or by Lender), two Business Days prior to the commencement of the requested Interest Period, relating to quotations for the one month London Interbank Offered Rate, as selected by Borrower in accordance with this Note, on U.S. Dollar deposits, as displayed by Bloomberg LP (or any successor thereto, or replacement thereof, as approved by Lender, each an “ Approved Bloomberg Successor ”), all as determined by Lender in accordance with this Note and Lender’s loan systems and procedures periodically in effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the LIBOR Rate be less than 0% as of any date (the “LIBOR Rate Minimum”); provided that, at any time during which a Rate Management Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with Lender is then in effect with respect to all or a portion of the obligations of Borrower under this Note (the “ Obligations ”), the LIBOR Rate Minimum shall be disregarded and no longer of any force and effect with respect to such portion of the Obligations subject to such Rate Management Agreement. Each determination by Lender of the LIBOR Rate shall be final, binding and conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

 

 

 

3.              Computation of Interest . Moneys deposited by Lender in an escrow shall be deemed to have been disbursed as of, and shall bear interest from, the date of deposit in escrow.

Eastern Time, and if payment is received after such time, payment of principal on this Note shall include interest to and including the day of payment.

 

4.              Payment Terms . The Loan shall be due and payable, and Borrower hereby promises to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to Lender, together with all accrued interest thereon then remaining unpaid and all other unpaid amounts, charges, fees and expenses outstanding under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, on the Maturity Date.

 

5.              Late Payments; Default Rate; Fees . If any payment is not paid within ten (10) days of when due under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a late payment fee of five percent (5%) of the payment amount with a minimum fee of $20.00. After an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a fixed charge of $25.00, or Borrower agrees that Lender may, without notice, increase the Interest Rate by five percentage points (5.00%) (the “ Default Rate ”) for the period of time the default is continuing. Lender may impose a non-sufficient funds fee for any check that is presented for payment that is returned for any reason.

 

6.              Rounding and Rate Management Agreement . At any time during which a Rate Management Agreement is then in effect with respect to this Note, the provisions contained in this Note which round up the Interest Rate to the nearest 1/8 th shall be disregarded and no longer of any force and effect, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note.

 

7.              Maximum Interest Rate . Notwithstanding any provisions of this Note or any instrument securing payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to the contrary, it is the intent of Borrower and Lender that Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest on principal of the indebtedness, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law; and if under any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and in the event Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excess interest shall be deemed a permitted partial prepayment of principal without penalty or premium and treated hereunder as such; and if the principal of the indebtedness evidenced hereby is paid in full, any remaining excess funds shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not interest of any kind payable hereunder exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread such payment so that the interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law; provided that if the amount of interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess. Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate.

 

 

 

 

8.              Revolving Loan . Provided that no Default or Event of Default under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, any portion of the principal balance of this Note which is repaid may be reborrowed by Borrower prior to the Maturity Date.  There shall be no prepayment penalty or premium.

 

9.             Default and Remedies .

 

A.           An “ Event of Default ” shall occur under this Note upon the occurrence of (a) the failure of Borrower to make any principal or interest payment owing hereunder on the date which is five (5) days after the date when due, (b) the failure by Borrower to pay any other amount payable to Lender under this Note within five (5) days after the date when any such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, (c) a breach by Borrower of any of the covenants, agreements, representations, warranties or other provisions hereof, which is not cured within the grace or cure period, if any, applicable thereto, or (d)  the occurrence of any Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents. An Event of Default under this Note shall also be deemed an Event of Default under the other Loan Documents.

 

B.           If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the option, without demand or notice, other than specified herein or in the other Loan Documents, to declare the unpaid principal of this Note, together with all accrued interest, prepayment premium, if any, and other sums secured by the Security Agreement, or other Loan Documents, at once due and payable to the extent permitted by law, to foreclose the Security Agreement and the other liens or security interests securing the payment of this Note, and to exercise any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity under the Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

C.           The remedies of Lender, as provided herein or in the Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of omission or commission of Lender, including specifically any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of the same, such waiver or release to be effected only through a written document executed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.

 

 

 

 

10.            Costs and Attorneys’ Fees . If any Event of Default under this Note shall occur, or if Lender incurs any expenses or costs in connection with the protection or realization of any collateral, whether or not suit is filed thereon or on any instrument granting a security interest in said collateral, Borrower promises to pay all costs of collection of every kind, including but not limited to all appraisal costs, reasonable attorneys fees, court costs, and expenses of every kind, incurred by Lender in connection with such collection or the protection or enforcement of any or all of the security for this Note, whether or not any lawsuit is filed with respect thereto.

 

11.            Waiver . Borrower, and each surety and endorser hereon waives grace, notice, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of default, protest, demand, presentment for payment and diligence in the collection of this Note, and in the filing of suit hereon, and agrees that his or its liability and the liability of his or its heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns for the payment hereof shall not be affected or impaired by any release or change in the security or by any increase, modification, renewal or extension of the indebtedness or its mode and time of payment. It is specifically agreed by the undersigned that the Lender shall have the right at all times to decline to make any such release or change in any security given to secure the payment hereof and to decline to make any such increase, modification, renewal or extension of the indebtedness or its mode and time of payment.

 

12.            Notices . All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be delivered in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

13.            Application of Payments . All payments on account of the indebtedness evidencing the Note shall first be applied to late charges and costs and fees incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights hereunder or under the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, second to accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance, and third to reduce unpaid principal inverse chronological order of maturity. Any payments and other amounts owing under this Note shall be made at Lender’s address above unless otherwise designated by Lender in writing.

 

14.            Miscellaneous .

 

A.           The headings of the paragraphs of this Note are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

 

B.           All payments under this Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payment; provided that a check will be deemed sufficient payment so long as it clears when presented for payment. Each payment of principal or interest under this Note shall be paid not later than 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the date due therefor and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Lender on the following Business Day. If any payment of principal, interest or any other amount due under this Note shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest on such principal. If an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, Lender is hereby authorized to charge any account of Borrower maintained with Lender for each payment of principal, interest and other amounts due under this Note, when each such payment becomes due. All amounts payable under this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be paid by Borrower without offset or other reduction.

 

 

 

 

C.           The obligations and liabilities under this Note of Borrower shall be binding upon and enforceable against Borrower and its heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Note shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Lender, its successors and assigns.

 

D.           If any provision of this Note or any payments pursuant to the terms hereof shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Note and any other payments hereunder shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Exhibit 10.4

 

Continuing Guaranty Agreement

 

THIS CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “ Guaranty ”) made as of June 2, 2016 by and between JETPAY CORPORATION , a Delaware corporation (“ Guarantor ”) and FIFTH THIRD BANK , an Ohio banking corporation (“ Lender ”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, Lender extended credit and financial accommodations to CSI ACQUISITION SUB ONE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Borrower ”), pursuant to that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith in the original principal amount $1,068,960.30 (the “ Note ”) and all agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with the foregoing or otherwise related thereto (together with any amendments, modifications, or restatements thereof, the “ Loan Documents ”); and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor is affiliated with Borrower and, as such, shall be benefited directly by the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, and has agreed to execute this Guaranty in order to induce Lender to enter into such transaction.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, Guarantor hereby guarantees, promises and undertakes as follows:

 

1.              GUARANTY .

 

(a)          Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due (whether at maturity by acceleration or otherwise) of all obligations of Borrower under the Note or any of the Loan Documents.

 

(b)          This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment, and not merely of collection, that shall remain in full force and effect until expressly terminated in writing by Lender, notwithstanding the fact that no Obligations may be outstanding from time to time. Such termination by Lender shall be applicable only to transactions having their inception after the effective date thereof, and shall not affect the enforceability of this Guaranty with regard to any Obligations arising out of transactions having their inception prior to such effective date, even if such Obligations shall have been modified, renewed, compromised, extended, otherwise amended or performed by Lender subsequent to such termination. In the absence of any termination of this Guaranty as provided above, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed discharged or satisfied until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, and no such payments or performance with regard to the Obligations is subject to any right on the part of any person whomsoever, including but not limited to any trustee in bankruptcy, to recover any of such payments; provided, however, that upon payment in full of the Obligations and the expiration of the recovery period set forth in this sentence, Lender agrees to deliver to Guarantor (upon Guarantor’s request) a written release and termination of this Guaranty. If any such payments are so set aside or settled without litigation, all of which is within Lender’s discretion, Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount Lender is required to repay, plus costs, interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses that Lender paid or incurred in connection therewith. A successor of Borrower, including Borrower in its capacity as debtor in a bankruptcy reorganization case, shall not be considered to be a different person than Borrower; and this Guaranty shall apply to all Obligations incurred by such successor.

 

 

 

 

(c)          Guarantor agrees that Guarantor is directly and primarily liable to Lender and that the Obligations hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrower and, moreover, that any payment by Borrower or Guarantor shall not reduce the liability of Guarantor to Lender under this Guaranty. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall survive discharge or compromise of any Obligation of Borrower in bankruptcy or otherwise. Lender shall not be required to prosecute or seek to enforce any remedies against Borrower on account of the Obligations, or to seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any collateral granted to Lender by Borrower or any other party on account of the Obligations, as a condition to payment or performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

(d)          Lender may, without notice or demand and without affecting its rights hereunder, from time to time: (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the amount of, the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, any or all of the Obligations, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) take and hold collateral for the payment of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and exchange, enforce, waive, and release any such collateral, and apply such collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender in its discretion may determine. Accordingly, Guarantor hereby waives notice of any and all of the foregoing.

 

(e)          Guarantor hereby waives all defenses, counterclaims and off-sets of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that may arise: (i) directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) from Lender’s impairment of any collateral, including the failure to record or perfect the Lender’s interest in the collateral, or (iii) by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender in the event such election may, in any manner, impair, affect, reduce, release, destroy or extinguish any right of contribution or reimbursement of Guarantor, or any other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against any other guarantor, or against any other person or any collateral.

 

(f)          Guarantor hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance or payment, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of default or nonpayment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations, and all other notices or formalities to which Guarantor may be entitled, and Guarantor hereby waives all suretyship defenses, including but not limited to all defenses set forth in the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code, as revised from time to time (the “ UCC ”) to the full extent such a waiver is permitted thereby.

 

  2  

 

 

(g)          Guarantor  hereby irrevocably subordinates to the rights and remedies of Lender for the payment and performance of such Obligations, all of Guarantor’s legal and equitable rights to recover from Borrower any sums paid by the Guarantor under the terms of this Guaranty, including without limitation all rights of subrogation and all other rights that would result in Guarantor being deemed a creditor of Borrower under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert in any manner against Lender any claim, defense, counterclaim and offset of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to Lender; provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to subordinate or impair Guarantor’s legal and equitable rights to recover any management fees owed by Borrower to Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert in any manner against Lender any claim, defense, counterclaim and offset of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower other than payment of the Obligations.

 

2.              REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS . Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty will not violate any provision of law or regulation applicable to Guarantor, or any writ or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, or any instrument or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor may be bound; this Guaranty is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of said Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and there is no action or proceeding before any court or governmental body agency now pending that may materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor.

 

3.              EVENTS OF DEFAULT . Any of the following occurrences shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Guaranty:

 

(a)          An Event of Default occurs under the terms of the Note or any other Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, as “Event of Default” shall be defined therein.

 

(b)          Guarantor shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition, or agreement under this Guaranty for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such breach, or any representation or warranty of Guarantor set forth in this Guaranty shall be materially inaccurate or misleading when made or delivered.

 

(c)          The monetary default by Guarantor under the terms of any indebtedness of Guarantor now or hereafter existing, which default has not been cured within any time period permitted pursuant to the terms, and conditions, of such indebtedness and which would impair Lender’s ability to exercise its rights under the Loan Documents.

 

  3  

 

 

(d)          The commencement by Guarantor of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; or the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of Guarantor in a case under any such law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Guarantor, or for any substantial part of Guarantor’s property, or ordering the wind-up or liquidation of Guarantor’s affairs; or the filing and pendency for thirty (30) days without dismissal of a petition initiating an involuntary case under any such bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or the making by Guarantor of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the failure of Guarantor generally, to pay Guarantor’s debts as such debts become due; or the taking of action by Guarantor in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

(e)          The revocation or attempted revocation of this Guaranty by Guarantor before the termination of this Guaranty in accordance with its terms, or the assignment or attempted assignment of this Guaranty by Guarantor.

 

4.              REMEDIES .

 

(a)          Whenever any Event of Default as defined herein shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender, in its sole discretion, may take any remedial action permitted by law or in equity or by the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, including demanding payment in full of all sums guaranteed hereby, plus any accrued interest or other reasonable, documented expenses.

 

(b)          If Lender should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the enforcement of this Guaranty, Guarantor, on demand therefor, shall reimburse the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees of such attorneys and such other expenses to the extent permitted by law.

 

(c)          No remedy set forth herein is exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient thereby, and a waiver on anyone occasion shall be limited to that particular occasion.

 

5.              FINANCIAL CONDITION OF BORROWER . Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances that a diligent inquiry would reveal and which would bear upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations. Guarantor hereby covenants that Guarantor shall continue to keep informed of such matters, and hereby waives Guarantor’s right, if any, to require Lender to disclose any present or future information concerning such matters.

 

6.              SUBORDINATION . All indebtedness and liability now or hereafter owing by Borrower to Guarantor is hereby postponed and subordinated to the Obligations owing to Lender; and such indebtedness and liability to Guarantor, if Lender so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the Obligations.

Continuing Guaranty Agreement

 

THIS CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “ Guaranty ”) made as of June 2, 2016 by and between JETPAY CORPORATION , a Delaware corporation (“ Guarantor ”) and FIFTH THIRD BANK , an Ohio banking corporation (“ Lender ”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, Lender extended credit and financial accommodations to CSI ACQUISITION SUB ONE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Borrower ”), pursuant to that certain Revolving Promissory Note of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $500,000.00 (the “ Revolving Note ”) and all agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with the foregoing or otherwise related thereto (together with any amendments, modifications, or restatements thereof, the “ Loan Documents ”); and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor is affiliated with Borrower and, as such, shall be benefited directly by the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, and has agreed to execute this Guaranty in order to induce Lender to enter into such transaction.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, Guarantor hereby guarantees, promises and undertakes as follows:

 

1.              GUARANTY .

 

(a)          Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due (whether at maturity by acceleration or otherwise) of all obligations of Borrower under the Note or any of the Loan Documents.

 

(b)          This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment, and not merely of collection, that shall remain in full force and effect until expressly terminated in writing by Lender, notwithstanding the fact that no Obligations may be outstanding from time to time. Such termination by Lender shall be applicable only to transactions having their inception after the effective date thereof, and shall not affect the enforceability of this Guaranty with regard to any Obligations arising out of transactions having their inception prior to such effective date, even if such Obligations shall have been modified, renewed, compromised, extended, otherwise amended or performed by Lender subsequent to such termination. In the absence of any termination of this Guaranty as provided above, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed discharged or satisfied until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, and no such payments or performance with regard to the Obligations is subject to any right on the part of any person whomsoever, including but not limited to any trustee in bankruptcy, to recover any of such payments; provided, however, that upon payment in full of the Obligations and the expiration of the recovery period set forth in this sentence, Lender agrees to deliver to Guarantor (upon Guarantor’s request) a written release and termination of this Guaranty. If any such payments are so set aside or settled without litigation, all of which is within Lender’s discretion, Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount Lender is required to repay, plus costs, interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses that Lender paid or incurred in connection therewith. A successor of Borrower, including Borrower in its capacity as debtor in a bankruptcy reorganization case, shall not be considered to be a different person than Borrower; and this Guaranty shall apply to all Obligations incurred by such successor.

 

 

 

 

(c)          Guarantor agrees that Guarantor is directly and primarily liable to Lender and that the Obligations hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrower and, moreover, that any payment by Borrower or Guarantor shall not reduce the liability of Guarantor to Lender under this Guaranty. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall survive discharge or compromise of any Obligation of Borrower in bankruptcy or otherwise. Lender shall not be required to prosecute or seek to enforce any remedies against Borrower on account of the Obligations, or to seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any collateral granted to Lender by Borrower or any other party on account of the Obligations, as a condition to payment or performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

(d)          Lender may, without notice or demand and without affecting its rights hereunder, from time to time: (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the amount of, the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, any or all of the Obligations, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) take and hold collateral for the payment of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and exchange, enforce, waive, and release any such collateral, and apply such collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender in its discretion may determine. Accordingly, Guarantor hereby waives notice of any and all of the foregoing.

 

(e)          Guarantor hereby waives all defenses, counterclaims and off-sets of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that may arise: (i) directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) from Lender’s impairment of any collateral, including the failure to record or perfect the Lender’s interest in the collateral, or (iii) by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender in the event such election may, in any manner, impair, affect, reduce, release, destroy or extinguish any right of contribution or reimbursement of Guarantor, or any other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against any other guarantor, or against any other person or any collateral.

 

(f)          Guarantor hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance or payment, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of default or nonpayment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations, and all other notices or formalities to which Guarantor may be entitled, and Guarantor hereby waives all suretyship defenses, including but not limited to all defenses set forth in the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code, as revised from time to time (the “ UCC ”) to the full extent such a waiver is permitted thereby.

 

  2  

 

 

(g)          Guarantor  hereby irrevocably subordinates to the rights and remedies of Lender for the payment and performance of such Obligations, all of Guarantor’s legal and equitable rights to recover from Borrower any sums paid by the Guarantor under the terms of this Guaranty, including without limitation all rights of subrogation and all other rights that would result in Guarantor being deemed a creditor of Borrower under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert in any manner against Lender any claim, defense, counterclaim and offset of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to Lender; provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to subordinate or impair Guarantor’s legal and equitable rights to recover any management fees owed by Borrower to Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert in any manner against Lender any claim, defense, counterclaim and offset of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower other than payment of the Obligations.

 

2.              REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS . Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty will not violate any provision of law or regulation applicable to Guarantor, or any writ or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, or any instrument or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor may be bound; this Guaranty is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of said Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and there is no action or proceeding before any court or governmental body agency now pending that may materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor.

 

3.              EVENTS OF DEFAULT . Any of the following occurrences shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Guaranty:

 

(a)          An Event of Default occurs under the terms of the Note or any other Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, as “Event of Default” shall be defined therein.

 

(b)          Guarantor shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition, or agreement under this Guaranty for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such breach, or any representation or warranty of Guarantor set forth in this Guaranty shall be materially inaccurate or misleading when made or delivered.

 

(c)          The monetary default by Guarantor under the terms of any indebtedness of Guarantor now or hereafter existing, which default has not been cured within any time period permitted pursuant to the terms, and conditions, of such indebtedness and which would impair Lender’s ability to exercise its rights under the Loan Documents.

 

  3  

 

 

(d)          The commencement by Guarantor of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; or the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of Guarantor in a case under any such law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Guarantor, or for any substantial part of Guarantor’s property, or ordering the wind-up or liquidation of Guarantor’s affairs; or the filing and pendency for thirty (30) days without dismissal of a petition initiating an involuntary case under any such bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or the making by Guarantor of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the failure of Guarantor generally, to pay Guarantor’s debts as such debts become due; or the taking of action by Guarantor in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

(e)          The revocation or attempted revocation of this Guaranty by Guarantor before the termination of this Guaranty in accordance with its terms, or the assignment or attempted assignment of this Guaranty by Guarantor.

 

4.              REMEDIES .

 

(a)          Whenever any Event of Default as defined herein shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender, in its sole discretion, may take any remedial action permitted by law or in equity or by the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, including demanding payment in full of all sums guaranteed hereby, plus any accrued interest or other reasonable, documented expenses.

 

(b)          If Lender should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the enforcement of this Guaranty, Guarantor, on demand therefor, shall reimburse the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees of such attorneys and such other expenses to the extent permitted by law.

 

(c)          No remedy set forth herein is exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient thereby, and a waiver on anyone occasion shall be limited to that particular occasion.

 

5.              FINANCIAL CONDITION OF BORROWER . Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances that a diligent inquiry would reveal and which would bear upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations. Guarantor hereby covenants that Guarantor shall continue to keep informed of such matters, and hereby waives Guarantor’s right, if any, to require Lender to disclose any present or future information concerning such matters.

 

6.              SUBORDINATION . All indebtedness and liability now or hereafter owing by Borrower to Guarantor is hereby postponed and subordinated to the Obligations owing to Lender; and such indebtedness and liability to Guarantor, if Lender so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the Obligations.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

 

JetPay Corporation Announces Completion of Acquisition of CollectorSolutions, Inc.

 

Berwyn, PA – June 3, 2016 – JetPay Corporation (“JetPay” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: “JTPY”), a leading provider of debit and credit card processing, payroll and human capital management, and prepaid card services, announced today that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of CollectorSolutions, Inc. (“CSI”), a Pensacola, Florida based debit and credit card processing company specializing in the government, utility, and non-profit sectors. The combined company would have generated pro-forma revenues of $58.6 million in 2015, a 35% increase over JetPay’s 2015 reported revenues of $43.3 million, and is expected to produce approximately $700 million of annual credit and debit card processing volume and approximately $4.50 billion of annual e-check processing volume to JetPay. The acquisition was funded by the issuance of shares of JetPay common stock and the absorption of debt and is expected to be immediately accretive.

 

CSI was founded in 1999 by Gene Valentino specifically to provide debit and credit card processing services to government agencies and utilities, and most recently has begun providing such services to nonprofit entities as an area of expertise. CSI delivers these high-quality products and services through a proprietary technology that both integrates well into the enterprise software of its customers and delivers superior “real-time” reporting that allows CSI’s customers to be highly responsive to their own customers and constituents.

 

Diane (Vogt) Faro, Chief Executive Officer of JetPay Corporation, stated, “We are excited about having Gene Valentino and his team at CSI join the JetPay family. CSI has been a major customer of JetPay, which has allowed us to appreciate his leadership and ability to grow an organization that provides valued and innovative solutions to his customers.” Ms. Faro further commented, “Government and utility payments are one of the fastest-growing segments in the payments’ arena, as more and more consumers select electronic delivery versus cash and checks. CSI will not only help us to expand our debit and credit card processing reach in these areas, but will also provide an excellent customer base and channel to offer our payroll and prepaid card services.”

 

“JetPay provides CSI the ability to offer enhanced service to our customers. The breadth of JetPay’s technologically advanced credit and debit card processing product line will bring our customers added value,” said Gene Valentino, Chief Executive Officer of CSI. “The ability of JetPay to quickly and effectively innovate its technology platform, along with its unparalleled uptime has not only increased the satisfaction rates with our current customers, but it has been critical in assisting us to land new business.” Mr. Valentino continued, “JetPay affords us the opportunity to not only expand our payments business, but also to provide additional services like payroll and human capital management, prepaid, and other services in a quality and easy-to-service manner. We are excited to be part of the JetPay team.”
