(f) Repayment . Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender combined principal and interest, in an amount that will fully pay the Loan in full on or before the Maturity Date. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, its agents and affiliates and their respective successors and assigns to debit the Designated Accounts specified in Exhibit D, by ACH transfer for the amount of such loan payment if the payment is not received within 5 (five) days of the Maturity Date.

(j) Maximum Interest . Borrower and Lender intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 2(j) shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 2(j) , even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section 2(j) , the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (ii) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts, during the full term of the Obligations. In no event shall Borrower or any other Person be obligated to pay, or Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (i) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of non-usurious interest permitted under the laws of the State of California or the applicable laws (if any) of the U.S. or of any other applicable state, or (ii) total interest in excess of the amount which Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Obligations at the Maximum Rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “ Stated Rate ”) stipulated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Maximum Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Maximum Rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the Maximum Rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Maximum Rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate. None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 2(j) , or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Maximum Rate. If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Maximum Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the outstanding principal balance of Borrower’s obligations to Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

SECTION 9 Remedies .

 

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may without notice or demand declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder to be forthwith due and payable ( provided that , upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 8(e) or (f) , such acceleration shall be automatic), whereupon all unpaid principal of the Loans, all such accrued interest and all such other amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and non-payment, notice of default, notice of acceleration or intention to accelerate, or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and exercise any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, the UCC and other applicable law.

 

(b) For the purpose of enabling Lender to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 9 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, Borrower hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable, non-exclusive and assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to Borrower) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property Collateral, while balances are owed to Lender.

 

(c) Lender shall not have any obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Lender has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them, and Lender may release, modify or waive any Collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Lender’s rights against Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Lender to pursue any third Person for any of the Obligations. Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

 

(d) The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of the Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied first , to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of Lender and Manager in exercising or enforcing its rights hereunder and in collecting or attempting to collect any of the Collateral, and to the payment of all other costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) reimbursable by Borrower under the Loan Documents and indemnification obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents; and second , to the payment of the Obligations. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to Borrower or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law. Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral.

 

20 of 36    

 

 

(e) If Borrower shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done either in the name of Lender or in the name and on behalf of Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender so to act.

 

(f) To the extent that Lender may not have already done so, Lender may send appropriate notifications to Borrower’s Registered Debtors under Sections 9-406(a) and 9-703(a) of the UCC, instructing or reinstructing such Registered Debtors to make all of their Invoice Payments to Lender at the Lockbox Account address, and not to pay Borrower directly.

 

(g) Lender may then proceed to collect all Receivables from the Debtors. In this respect, Borrower agrees that Lender may compromise, settle, extend, or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any Registered Debtor Receivable or indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby, or release all or any part of said indebtedness, without affecting the liability of Borrower to Lender. To that end, Borrower irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution, to take any and all such actions and any and all other actions permitted hereby, either in Borrower’s name or in Lender’s name.

 

(h) Lender shall have the right, at any time before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to apply any and all amounts that Lender may then or thereafter owe to Borrower, as well as to apply any funds belonging to Borrower that are in Lender’s possession or under Lender’s control (including Borrower funds then and thereafter on deposit in the Lockbox Account), to the payment and satisfaction, whole or in part, of Borrower’s obligations to Lender.

 

(i) Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency that results should the proceeds of the Borrower Collateral not be sufficient to fully pay and satisfy Borrower’s then obligations in favor of Lender.

 

(j) Except as may be prohibited by Applicable Law, all of Lender’s Enforcement Rights, whether provided under this Agreement, or available under Applicable Law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, specifically and without limitation, nothing under this Agreement shall obligate Lender to pursue Enforcement Rights against the Borrower Collateral before filing a collection action against Borrower to collect any and all amounts then owed to Lender.

 

21 of 36    

 

 

(k) Lender shall have the right t o file suit or commence arbitration against Borrower to enforce payment of all amounts then or thereafter owed by Borrower, including unpaid Collection Expenses; and

 

(l) Lender shall have the right to file suit against or to otherwise enforce payment against each obligated Debtor to collect payment of the Debtor’s Invoice Payment Obligations and to exercise whatever additional Enforcement Rights that may be available under Applicable Law.

 

(m) Borrower shall be responsible for payment of, and shall reimburse Lender for Lender’s Collection Expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, court cost and out-of-pocket expenses (including third-party collection agency fees) that may be incurred in attempting to collect and in collecting amounts due by Borrower and by Borrower’s Debtors.

 

(n) Following the occurrence of, and so long as an Event of Default continues to exist, Borrower shall at Lender’s reasonable request meet with a Lender representative at the Borrower’s main office from time-to-time to review Borrower’s billings and collections, financial documents and business activities. Borrower further recognizes and agrees failure of Borrower to comply with this Section 16(h) shall result in irreparable harm to Lender to obtain judicially ordered injunctive relief against Borrower as provided under Applicable Law.

 

(o) Unless Lender otherwise agrees, all enforcement actions against Borrower shall be brought in a court in California, or in arbitration as provided in Section 13 (n) of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 10 Certain Waivers . Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations; (ii) any right to require Lender (A) to proceed against any Person, (B) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations, (C) to pursue any remedy in Lender’s power, or (D) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor, notice of acceleration, or notice of intent to accelerate in connection with any of the Collateral; and (iii) all claims, damages, and demands against Lender arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral.

 

SECTION 11 Expenses . Borrower agrees to pay on demand all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of Lender and Manager in connection with any Event of Default, any enforcement or attempted enforcement of, and the protection or preservation of any rights under, any Loan Document and any out-of-court workout or other refinancing or restructuring or in any bankruptcy case, including, without limitation, any and all losses, costs, and expenses sustained by Lender or Manager as a result of any failure of Borrower to perform or observe its obligations contained in any Loan Document.

SECTION 12 Indemnification . Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender, Manager, their agents and affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, attorneys, accountants, trustees and advisors (collectively, the “ Indemnitees ”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent such liabilities, losses, damages, claims and expenses result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable court of competent jurisdiction. BORROWER AND LENDER EXPRESSLY INTEND THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL COVER, AND THAT BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST, COSTS, EXPENSES AND LOSSES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNITEE.

 

SECTION 13 Miscellaneous Terms .

 

(a) Amendment . No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

(b) Notices . All notices and other communications to Borrower may be given by email to Borrower’s registered email address provided to Lender or posted to the Platform and each such notice or other communication shall be deemed effective and received upon transmission.

If applicable law requires that Lender give Borrower notice by other means, such notice shall be sent by overnight courier service or by certified or registered mail, postage pre-paid, to the address provided by Borrower to Lender and shall be deemed received, in the case of overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after delivery to such service, and in the case of mailing, on the third day after mailing (or, if such day is a day on which deliveries of mail are not made, on the next succeeding day on which deliveries of mail are made).

The rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to Lender or Manager.

 

(f) Limitation on Liability; Waiver . Neither party shall be liable for any lost profits or special, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages and Borrower hereby waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

(g) Payments Set Aside . To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Lender, or Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

 

(h) Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE.

 

(n) Arbitration:

 

The Parties agree to mediate prior to arbitration.

 

(i) Compulsory Binding Arbitration: The Parties agree that any Party may elect to arbitrate and require any other Party to arbitrate any claim brought by or against or involving the rights of any Party.

(ii) Limitations If any Party elects to arbitrate a claim, no Party shall have the right to (i) have a court or jury decide the claim, (ii) engage in pre-arbitration discovery to the same extent that the Party would have the right to do in court, (iii) participate in a class action in court or in arbitration, either as a class representative or a class member; or (iv) join or consolidate the claim with claims of any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to exercise Enforcement Rights against a Borrower by filing suit before a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise, and nothing under this Agreement shall in any way impair or otherwise affect the Enforcement Rights available to Lender following an Event of Default.

(iii) Election to Arbitrate: To commence arbitration, the electing Party must give written notice to the other Party of an election to arbitrate. This notice may be given within ninety (90) days after a lawsuit has been filed, and may be given in papers or motions in the lawsuit. If an arbitration election notice is given, the claim shall be resolved by arbitration under this section 13 (n) and the American Arbitration Association rules for large, complex commercial disputes then in effect.

26 of 36    

 

 

(vi) Mandatory Application of California Law; Arbitrator Authority

 

a). Consistent with the choice of law provisions of section 13 (k) above, the arbitrator shall apply substantive California law (and Federal law to the extent applicable) to all substantive issues presented in arbitration. The arbitrator shall further apply all applicable statutes of limitation (prescription and preemption principles in California) and applicable privilege rules, as well as rules of procedure and evidence consistent with the FAA, the Arbitration Administrator’s rules and the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

b). The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all remedies available in an individual lawsuit including awards of compensatory and statutory (but not punitive or exemplary) damages, declaratory, and injunctive and other equitable relief.

c). Upon the request of any Party, the arbitrator shall provide written findings of fact and conclusions of law explaining the basis of the award.

(vii) Injunctive Relief Outside of Arbitration

a). In the event any Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations under this, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Party ( i.e ., the Party to which the obligation is owed). Therefore, the Party, if the Party so requests, shall be entitled to apply for temporary and permanent injunctive relief as may be granted by the court without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

b). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, a Party may seek to obtain injunctive relief before a court of law with any claim for monetary damages remaining subject to elective mandatory arbitration under section 13 (n).

 

(o) Any waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be a waiver of any other breach. Failure or delay by either party to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such term or condition. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect.

 

(p) Client Key Principal Personal Liability for Diversion of Funds and Other Limited Acts:

 

(i). Borrower agrees that Client Key Principals shall be personally liable for losses sustained by Lender as a consequence of (i) any Diversion of funds that are not immediately repaid to Lender, or (ii) acts of fraud by Borrower or by any Client Key Principal, or (iii) any attempt by Borrower or by a Client Key Principal to in any way interfere with Lender’s collection of Purchased Receivables from an Debtor, or to interfere with Payplant security rights under this Agreement.

 

(ii). Borrower and each Client Key Principal agrees that Payplant may file suit against Client Key Principals along with Client for any of the reasons mentioned in (i) above, before a Court in California, as provided in Section 13 .

 

(iii). As a result of Borrower signing this agreement, each Client Key Principal shall conclusively be deemed to have accepted Client Key Principal potential personal liability to Lender (limited to the circumstances described in (i) above), and to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of California courts and to the waiver of trial by jury provisions of Sections 13 (k) and 13 (m) above.

 

27 of 36    

 

 

(q) Requirement That All Registered Debtor Invoice Payments Be Paid into the Lender Controlled Lockbox Account

 

(i). Borrower agrees that Lender may instruct each and every one of Borrower’s Registered Debtors to pay all Invoice Payments under Receivables initially due to Borrower into a designated Lockbox Account maintained and controlled by Lender, and further instructing the Debtor not to pay Borrower directly. Borrower further agrees to re-notify Debtors at Lender’s request should Lender’s Lockbox Account details change in the future.

 

THIS REQUIRMENT APPLIES TO PAYMENT OF ALL INVOICES DUE FROM REGISTERED DEBTORS TO BORROWER, AND IS NOT LIMITED TO INVOICE PAYMENTS DUE UNDER RECEIVABLES SOLD ON THE PLATFORM. ALL REGISTERED DEBTOR INVOICE PAYMENTS, INCLUDING INVOICE PAYMENTS UNDER BORROWER’S OTHER RECEIVABLES NOT SOLD OVER THE PLATFORM, ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID INTO THE LENDER CONTROLLED LOCKBOX ACCOUNT WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

 

(ii). Borrower agrees that Lender may re-notify the Registered Debtor as Lender may deem to be necessary, making it clear to the Debtor that the Debtor is required to make all Invoice Payments otherwise due to Borrower into the Lockbox Account.

 

(iii). Borrower shall further include appropriate written instructions on each Invoice sent to a Registered Debtor instructing the Debtor to make its Invoice Payments into the Lender controlled Lockbox Account, with Borrower removing any contrary written instructions to pay Borrower directly.

 

(iv). Once a Registered Debtor is instructed to make Invoice Payments into the Lender controlled Lockbox Account, Borrower shall have no right whatsoever to counter-instruct the Debtor to pay Borrower directly or to pay an Affiliate of Borrower or some other third Person.

 

(v). Once a Registered Debtor is instructed to make Invoice Payments into the Lender controlled Lockbox Account, Borrower shall have no right whatsoever to receive Invoice Payments from the Debtor. To the extent that Borrower receives any Invoice Payment from a Registered Debtor, whether due to Debtor error or otherwise, Borrower shall notify Lender of such occurrence within two (2) Business Days and turn such payment over to Lender in the form received within three (3) Business Days, transferring funds within 3 business days, and if received via check, without depositing the check into a Borrower deposit account. In the interim, and at all times while Borrower may possess or have control over amounts received from Registered Debtors, Borrower shall hold such funds “in trust” for and on behalf of Lender, with Borrower having full fiduciary duties and obligations to segregate and safeguard such funds.

 

(vi). Borrower agrees to pay Lender a Misdirected Payment Fee in the amount equal to 1% of each Invoice Payment that a Registered Debtor pays to Borrower, or to an Affiliate of Borrower, if after the Registered Debtor receives notice from Lender or Borrower to make its Invoice Payments into the Lender controlled Lockbox Account, and Borrower does not forward such misdirected payment to Payplant by no later than three (3) Business Days following receipt.

 

28 of 36    

 

 

(vii). Borrower recognizes, confirms and agrees that Lender have or will have a perfected UCC Security Interest in all of Borrower’s Purchased Receivables sold on the Platform, and that any failure on the part of Borrower to comply with the requirements of Sections 13 (q) (iv) and (v) above shall constitute a Diversion of funds due to Lender and an act of civil conversion under Applicable Law, giving rise to an Event of Default under Section 8 of this Agreement.

 

(r) Lender Authorized to Indorse Borrower’s Name on All Instruments Deposited into the Lockbox Account: Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to indorse Borrower’s name on all checks, drafts and instruments deposited into the Lockbox Account for Borrower’s account. Borrower forever waives any claim that Borrower may now or in the future have against Lender based on wrongful or unauthorized endorsement of Borrower’s name on any check, draft or instrument deposited into the Lockbox Account.

 

(s) Notification :

 

(i) Borrower agrees that Lender may, at any time, and at Lender’s sole election, notify all or selected Registered Debtors of the fact that their Invoice Payment Obligations have been or may be sold on the Platform, or otherwise encumbered in favor of Lender, and Lender shall have the further right to instruct or reinstruct such Registered Debtors to make their respective Invoice Payments directly to Payplant at the Lockbox Account address.

 

(ii) All such notifications shall be made pursuant to Sections 9-406(a) and 9-607(a) of the UCC.

 

(iii) Once Lender notifies a Registered Debtor to make its Invoice Payments directly to Lender, Borrower shall have no right to counter-instruct the Debtor to make its Invoice Payments to Borrower, or to an Affiliate of Borrower, or to any other third person.
