NOTE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Most of the matters discussed within this report include forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.

 

On November 6, 2018, Limecom, Inc. (“Limecom” or “Seller”) , a wholly owned subsidiary of Cuentas Inc. (“CUEN”, “Cuentas” or the “Company”) finalized a Factoring Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AEC YIELD CAPITAL, LLC (“AEC” or “Purchaser”).

 

AEC agreed to purchase Accounts (as defined herein) from Limecom, in AEC’s sole and absolute discretion, at a purchase price equal to the gross face value of Accounts, less AEC’s Factoring Commission, as described in Section 2 of the Agreement, less returns, credits, allowances, deductions, ‘finance points’ or other like charges and discounts; and less all other sums charged or chargeable to Limecom’s Accounts (the “Purchase Price”).

 

All of Limecom’s accounts receivable, related mechanics liens and contract rights which are presently or at any time hereafter assigned by Seller, and accepted by AEC, are collectively referred to as (the “Accounts”). Limecom agreed to sell, transfer and assign all of it’s right, title and interest in and to those specific accounts receivable and related rights owing to Seller by Account Debtors as set forth on the assignment documents provided to AEC (the “Assignments”) together with all rights of action and mechanics or other liens accrued or to accrue thereon, including without limitation, full power to collect, sue for, compromise, assign or in any other manner enforce collection thereof in AEC’s name or otherwise. All Accounts purchased by AEC will be insured on a collection basis with Euler Hermes North America Insurance Company.

 

In connection with AEC’s purchase of the Accounts from Limecom, the Agreement provides that AEC will charge a factoring commission (the “Factoring Commission”) which is deducted from the face value of each Account upon collection. The Factoring Commission will be computed based upon the number of days an Account is outstanding from the date of such invoice issuance and shall be as follows: (i) 1.19% of the face value of each invoice purchased under the facility (each, a “Purchased Account”) (Basic Discount) computed on the Face Amount (ii) After the 20th day from the date of invoice issuance, 0.59% per 10 days or any part thereof that an invoice remains outstanding, through the 90th day computed on the Face Amount.

 

Upon AEC’s receipt and acceptance of each Assignment, AEC shall pay to Seller an amount corresponding to the category into which such Account shall fall, as follows (in each case net of any advances received by Seller from any party including Purchaser):

 

Eligible final, fully-verified receivables: 90% of the Purchase Price – if such purchase is made within the first 90 days hereunder, or 87.5% if such purchase is made thereafter. The foregoing includes final invoices featuring weekly billing and 53-day payment terms.

 

Eligible earned but not yet billed receivables (usage confirmed and verified by Purchaser to its satisfaction): 50% of the Purchase Price (net of other advances received by Seller from any party including Purchaser)

 

1

 

 

All of the advance rates are computed as a percentage of the net face value (as described above) of the Accounts therein described (the “Advance”) on an ongoing basis. The maximum outstanding balance of Seller to AEC shall initially be Four Million ($4,000,000) Dollars (the “Initial Maximum Advance”), it being agreed that Seller may request increases in the Initial Maximum Advance of up to One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars each 90 days after the commencement date hereunder, up to an advance of not greater than Eight Million ($8,000,000) Dollars. Each requested increase above the Initial Maximum Advance shall be subject to AEC’s approval.

 

Additional terms of the Agreement provide that AEC will hold in reserve the difference between the Purchase Price and the Advance (the “Reserve”) and, provided there are no outstanding chargebacks or disputes, will pay to Seller, the Reserve, less any sums due AEC hereunder, in not more than one (1) business day from the date on which the Accounts have been collected in full in good funds, or have been charged back and/or deemed collected by AEC due to an Account debtor’s insolvency. Limecom and the Company have agreed to pledge all of their assets to secure all payments due to AEC. Additionally, Limecom, Messrs. Orlando Taddeo International CEO of Limecom, and Daniel Contreras, CFO of Limecom, have executed Validity Guarantees personally as well as Releases in favor of AEC. Further, Messrs. Taddeo Contreras, and Limecom provided Confessions of Judgment in favor of AEC to be held in escrow by AEC.

 

This Agreement will remain in effect for thirty-six (36) months from its effective date and will be automatically extended for successive periods of one (1) year unless either party provides written notice of cancellation at least one-hundred fifty (150) days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term; provided, however, AEC may cancel this Agreement at any time upon sixty (60) days’ notice to Seller.

 

The Company agreed to pay ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management Inc. (“Think”), a 2.5% fee on the initial $4 million factoring limit, equal to $100,000 in 4 installments for acting as a financial advisor to the Company with respect to the Agreement. Think will be paid additional fees of 3% of any increase in the facility size above the $4,000,000 facility up to the $8,000,000 total amount of the factoring facility. Think will also receive a warrant, valid for 5 years, entitling it to purchase a number of shares equal to 3.5% of the maximum facility size. The warrant shall have an exercise price equal to the five (5) day volume weighted average price of common shares on the date of closing, or if the Company is not publicly traded, equal to the per share price paid by investors in the Company’s most recent equity investment round prior to the execution of the Agreement. The shares underlying the warrant shall entitle the holder to one-time “piggyback” registration rights (unless Rule 144 is then available). The warrant may be exchanged without the payment of any additional consideration for the Company’s stock based upon the values of the warrant and the stock at the time of the exchange.

 

In the event that Seller wishes to terminate the Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term, as renewed or otherwise, then in addition to paying AEC all other obligations due under this Agreement, Seller shall also pay AEC an early termination fee equal to the greater of (i) the Monthly Minimum Volume multiplied by the number of calendar months (or part thereof) remaining from the termination date until the end of the then existing Term, or (ii) the average monthly total volume purchased by AEC during the six (6) calendar months (or part thereof if less than six (6) calendar months has elapsed from the effective date of the facility through the termination date) immediately preceding the termination date, multiplied by the number of calendar months (or part thereof) remaining from the termination date until the end of the then existing Term, multiplied by the average number of days outstanding (rounded to the next highest month) multiplied by the greater of the average Factoring Commission over the prior 90 days or the Factoring Commission due hereunder for an invoice paid by its obligor in 30 days.

 

Limecom will continue its Factoring Agreement with VoIP Capital International (“VoIP”) on a limited basis for certain specific account debtors until all advances due to VoIP have been paid. On Oct. 17, 2018 a Payment Letter was signed between Limecom et al and VoIP Capital International. Effective Oct. 31, 2018 Limecom has established a new Insurance Policy with Euler.

AEC Yield Capital LLC
One Metrotech Center – North, Third Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201
 
Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”)
 
1. ASSIGNMENT. AEC YIELD CAPITAL, LLC (“AEC” or “Purchaser”) hereby buys and Limecom, Inc. , a Florida corporation, (“Seller”), hereby sells, transfers and assigns all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to those specific accounts receivable and related rights owing to Seller by Account Debtors as set forth on the assignment forms provided by AEC (the “Assignments”) together with all rights of action and mechanics or other liens accrued or to accrue thereon, including without limitation, full power to collect, sue for, compromise, assign or in any other manner enforce collection thereof in AEC’s name or otherwise. All of Seller’s accounts receivable, related mechanics liens and contract rights which are presently or at any time hereafter assigned by Seller, and accepted by AEC, are collectively referred to as (the “Accounts”). All capitalized terms not herein defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (the “UCC”). The Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with Purchaser’s ownership and shall not claim any ownership in any Purchased Account. The Seller shall indicate in its records that ownership interest in any Purchased Account is held by the Purchaser. In addition, the Seller shall respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of a Purchased Account by stating that it is no longer the owner of such Purchased Account and that
ownership of such Purchased Account is held by the Purchaser

2. PURCHASE PRICE; FACTORING COMMISSION. AEC shall purchase the Accounts from Seller, in AEC’s sole and absolute discretion, at a purchase price equal to the gross face value of Accounts, less AEC’s Factoring Commission, as described in this Section 2, returns, credits, allowances, deductions, ‘finance points’ or other like charges and discounts; and less all other sums charged or chargeable to Seller’s Accounts (the “Purchase Price”). In connection with AEC’s purchase of the Accounts from Seller, AEC shall charge a factoring commission (the “Factoring Commission”) which is deducted from the face value of each Account upon collection. The Factoring Commission will be computed based upon the number of days an Account is outstanding from the date of such invoice issuance and shall be as follows:
 
i.
1.19% of the face value of each invoice purchased under the facility (each, a “Purchased Account”) (Basic Discount) computed on the Face Amount
ii.
After the 20th day from the date of invoice issuance, 0.59% per 10 days or any part thereof that an invoice remains outstanding, through the 90th day computed on the Face Amount.
 
In all instances the Factoring Commission shall be subject to adjustment in order to take the Minimum Monthly Fees into account. Minimum Monthly Fee is any amount by which the aggregate dollar amount of the factoring discount earned in each month hereunder is less than the Minimum Monthly Commission, which Minimum Monthly Fee shall accrue and be paid by Seller on the first Business Day of the following the last day of each calendar month hereunder. “Minimum Monthly Commission” is the aggregate dollar amount of the factoring discount which the Purchaser would have earned if the Purchaser had Purchased Accounts with an aggregate Face Amount of $3,500,000.00 during each month hereunder, such that a Factoring Commission, equal to the greater of the average Factoring Commission over the prior 90 days or the Factoring Commission due hereunder for an invoice paid by its obligor in 30 days, will be applied to the difference between the actual factored amount of Purchased Accounts in the given month and the minimum volume hereunder for each month.
 
Pg 1 of 20

3. ADVANCE. Upon AEC’s receipt and acceptance of each Assignment, AEC shall pay to Seller an amount corresponding to the category into which such Account shall fall, as follows (in each case net of any advances received by Seller from any party including Purchaser):
 
•          Eligible final, fully-verified receivables: 90% of the Purchase Price – if such purchase is made within the first 90 days hereunder, or 87.5% if such purchase is made thereafter. The foregoing include final invoices featuring weekly billing and 53-day payment terms.
 
•          Eligible earned but not yet billed receivables (usage confirmed and verified by Purchaser to its satisfaction): 50% of the Purchase Price (net of other advances received by Seller from any party including Purchaser)
 
All of the foregoing advance rates are computed as a percentage of the net face value (as described above) of the Accounts therein described (the “Advance”) on an ongoing basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum outstanding balance of Seller to AEC shall initially be Four million ($4,000,000) Dollars (the “Maximum Advance”), it being agreed that Seller may request increases in the Maximum Advance of up to $1,000,000 each 90 days after the commencement date hereunder, up to a Maximum Advance of not greater than $8,000,000. Each requested increase to the Maximum Advance shall be subject to AEC’s approval. Advance rates referred to herein are contingent upon, among other things, dilution of Accounts remaining below 1.5%, provision by each Account Debtor, with respect to each Account, a satisfactory estoppel & no-offset letter and sufficient Credit Insurance. Eligible invoices and Accounts shall exclude, among other things, invoices that are 90 days or more past their date of issuance, Accounts from obligors whose invoices, in the aggregate, include 25% or more of invoices that are 90 days’ past issuance date, non credit-insured obligations and such other categories of ineligible invoices as AEC may determine.
 
4. RESERVE . AEC will hold in reserve the difference between the Purchase Price and the Advance (the “Reserve”) and, provided there are no outstanding chargebacks or disputes, will pay to Seller, the Reserve, less any sums due AEC hereunder, in not more than one (1) Business Day from the date on which the Accounts have been collected in full in good funds, or have been charged back and/or deemed collected by AEC due to an Account Debtor’s Insolvency (as defined in Section 6). For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Business Day”, shall mean any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which national banks are authorized or required to be closed. For all purposes under this Agreement, Clearance Days (defined as 2 banking days) will be added to the date on which Purchaser receives any payment.
 
5. WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATION AND COVENANTS. As an inducement for AEC’s entering into this Agreement and with full knowledge that the truth and accuracy of the warranties, representations and covenants in this Agreement are being relied upon by AEC, instead of the delay of a complete credit investigation, Seller warrants, represents and covenants that:

For purposes of the foregoing, Insolvency shall be deemed to have occurred, or an Account Debtor or other Person, including, without limitation, Seller and Guarantor, only when: (a) a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding for the relief of an Account Debtor under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 shall have been instituted in a United States Bankruptcy Court; (b) a receiver is appointed for the whole or any part of the property of an Account Debtor; (c) an Account Debtor’s assets shall have been sold under a writ of execution or attachments, or a writ of execution shall have been returned unsatisfied; (d) an Account Debtor shall have absconded; or (e) an Account Debtor’s assets shall have been sold under levy by any taxing authority or by a landlord.

Seller, at its sole cost and expense, agrees to procure and maintain, during the life of this Agreement, Credit Insurance covering any Accounts of Seller. The policy must contain a minimum coverage limit totaling the aggregate of the Maximum Advance. Seller will name AEC as a Third-Party Beneficiary of said policy and will provide AEC with a Certificate of Insurance upon demand by AEC and concurrently with the issuance of the policy and any subsequent renewal or reissuance. All insurance policies must be written by a reputable insurance company acceptable to Purchaser or with a current Best’s Insurance Guide Rating of A- and Class VII or better, and authorized to do business in the New York and Florida. The fact that insurance is obtained by Seller will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability or responsibilities of Seller pursuant to any other terms or provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing credit insurance requirement, AEC shall endeavor to include required limits on Account Debtors it its own policy, at Seller’s expense. Upon such inclusion, Seller shall no longer be required to maintain credit insurance until such time as AEC shall notify Seller to the contrary.

7. CHARGE-BACK. In the event that any Account is not paid within 90 days of invoice date for any reason whatsoever (other than as a result of an Account Debtor’s Insolvency), including, without limitation, any alleged defense, counterclaim, offset, dispute or other claim (real or merely asserted) whether arising from or relating to the sale of goods or rendition of services or arising from or relating to any other transaction or occurrence, then in any such event AEC shall have the right to chargeback such Account to Seller. No chargeback shall be deemed a reassignment to Seller of the Account involved. Seller acknowledges that all amounts chargeable to Seller’s account under this Agreement shall be payable by Seller on demand. Upon satisfaction of a chargeback of an Account, and provided there are no other outstanding chargebacks or defaults at such time, AEC shall assign all of its title, rights and interests in and to such Account to Seller, and Seller shall have the right to collect any amount due under such Account. In addition, Seller has the right at any time to repurchase an Account by payment to AEC in the form of either cash or replacement invoices acceptable to AEC. The foregoing notwithstanding, with respect to Chargebacks caused solely by an Account Debtor’s dispute, so long as the dispute involves an amount of less than $50,000, Seller shall have 3 days to resolve such dispute provided that Seller is pursuing such resolution in good faith.
 
Pg  8 of 20

8. NOTICE OF DISPUTE. Seller must immediately notify AEC of any disputes between any Account Debtor and Seller.

9. SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTE. AEC may, at its option, settle any dispute with any Account Debtor. Such settlement does not relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, with respect to Chargebacks caused solely by an Account Debtor’s dispute, so long as the dispute involves an amount of less than $50,000, Seller shall have 3 days to resolve such dispute so long as Seller is pursuing such resolution in good faith.

10. SOLE PROPERTY. Once AEC has purchased the Accounts, the payment from Account Debtors relative to the Accounts is the sole property of AEC. Any interference by Seller with this payment will result in civil liability.

11. SECURITY INTEREST; VALIDITY GUARANTY.
 
(a)
As a further inducement for AEC to enter into this Agreement, and as security for the prompt performance, observance and payment of all obligations owing by Seller to AEC, Seller hereby grants to AEC a continuing security interest in and lien upon the following (herein collectively referred to as the “Collateral”): all personal property and Fixtures in which Seller has an interest, now or hereafter existing or acquired, and wheresoever located, tangible or intangible, including, but not limited to, all present or hereafter existing or acquired Accounts, tools, Goods (including, without limitation, all Equipment), Inventory, raw materials, components, packaging, furniture, receivables, security agreements, mechanics liens, notes, bills, acceptances, Instruments, Deposit Accounts, Letter of Credit Rights, installment paper, Chattel Paper, Documents, certificates of deposit, tax refunds, insurance proceeds, Investment Property, Commercial Tort Claims, conditional sale or lease contracts, cash or cash equivalents, chattel mortgages or deeds of trust, General Intangibles, all intellectual property including, without limitation, patents, trademarks and copyrights (and applications for all of the foregoing), contract rights, and all other hypothecation, and promise or duty to pay money, now or hereafter owned or acquired by Seller (including, without limitation, all rights of Seller as an unpaid vendor), and all products, proceeds and collections thereof, all guarantees and other security therefor, and all right, title and interest of Seller in any returned, repossessed, rejected or unshipped goods, together with all of Seller’s books of accounts, ledger cards and records, all vehicles, all computer programs, software and systems owned or operated in connection therewith, all of the above accruing present and future advances and all proceeds, products, returns, add-ons, accessions, replacements and substitutions of and to pay any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of proceeds, and all property of Seller at any time in Purchaser’s possession.
 
(b)
As additional security for Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, Daniel Contreras and Orlando Taddeo (the “Guarantors”) shall execute and deliver a Validity Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) pursuant to which each shall guaranty all representations and warranties given by the Seller hereunder and in the other Transactions Documents, and the accuracy, truth and completeness of all such representations and warranties, and they shall also guaranty against the Seller’s bad acts, as set forth in the Guaranty.
 
Pg  9 of 20

12. FINANCING STATEMENTS. Seller will, at its expense perform all acts and execute all documents requested by AEC at any time to evidence, perfect, maintain and enforce AEC’s security interest and other rights in the Collateral and the priority thereof. Seller authorizes Purchaser to file any UCC financing statements, including continuations thereof, and other actions to perfect, protect, continue or terminate the Purchaser’s security interest in the Collateral, in each case whether or not suit is brought, including but not limited to the defense of any Avoidance Claims (as defined in Section 5(ff)) or the defense of Purchaser’s lien priority.
 
13. HOLD IN TRUST. Seller will hold in trust and safekeeping, as the property of AEC and immediately turn over to AEC, the identical check or other form of payment received by Seller if payment on the Accounts comes into Seller’s possession. Should Seller come into possession of a check comprising payments owing to both Seller and AEC, Seller shall turnover said check to AEC. In the event a payment belonging to AEC is improperly deposited into Seller’s bank account, AEC reserves the right to impose liquidated damages upon Seller of up to 20% of the amount of any payment so improperly deposited except that no such damages will be imposed in the event that such check or payment was mistakenly received by Seller and such payment is deposited into AEC’s account within 3 Business Days of its receipt.

14. ACH AUTHORIZATION. In order to satisfy any of Seller’s obligations hereunder, Seller authorizes Purchaser to initiate electronic debit or credit entries through the ACH system to any deposit account maintained by Seller, and Seller grants Purchaser electronic access to such accounts. Upon Purchaser’s request, Seller shall promptly execute and deliver any agreements and other documents that are required by a bank or are otherwise necessary in connection herewith (each an, “ACH Agreement”). Seller hereby further grants Purchaser access to all bank statements and other information relating to Seller’s deposit accounts.

15. BOOK ENTRY. Seller will immediately, upon the sale of the Accounts, make the proper entry on its books and records disclosing the absolute sale of the Accounts to AEC.
 
16. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following events will constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

Upon any increase, within the first 12 months hereunder, of the Maximum Advance, Seller shall pay Purchaser a Structuring Fee equal to 1% of such increase.

For your insured receivables to be covered under your Policy:

 

a. You must exercise reasonable care and prudence as if you were not insured, and

 

b. You must take all practicable measures (including those reasonably requested by us) to prevent or reduce any loss and to maximize Recoveries, including but not limited to:

 

i. Protecting and not waiving any rights against your Buyers and any third parties including enforcing any guarantee or security and filing your receivable against the Insolvent Buyer within the legal time frame;

5.2 Reporting a State of Default

 

Each month you need to report to us on our online information system or in writing any Buyer in a State of Default. The State of Default report is due no later than 15 days after the end of the calendar month in which the State of Default occurs. Failure to provide us with a complete and accurate State of Default report within the timeframe required will result in coverage being automatically terminated on all goods and services Supplied to the Buyer after the due date of the first State of Default report to have included the Buyer.

i. The receivables causing the State of Default are paid within the above period; or
ii. You have already filed a Claim and Collection form.

 

  Page 20 /30

EULER HERMES NORTH AMERICA INSURANCE COMPANY

 

 

EH Corporate Advantage Policy

General Terms and Conditions

 

 

b. Where the State of Default is due to a receivable remaining overdue beyond the Maximum Extension Period and the total amount overdue beyond the Maximum Extension Period is within the applicable reporting threshold specified in the Special Terms you do not need to report it. If your Buyer then subsequently becomes Insolvent you will need to report it.

 

5.3 Postponing the Due Date

 

You may postpone the Due Date of your insured receivable without our prior written agreement unless:

 

a. The period by which the Due Date is to be postponed exceeds the Maximum Extension Period; or

 

b. Your Buyer is in a State of Default.

 

6. Your Insured Sales, calculation and payment of premium

 

6.1 Your Insured Sales

 

Your sales volume is the amount used to calculate the premium. It is the total invoice value of all goods and services Supplied by you to covered Buyers during the Policy Period.

 

a. To calculate your Insured Sales, you may deduct from your total sales volume the value of:
i. Receivables which are entirely excluded from cover by section 4.1 of your Policy;

ii. Supplies to a Buyer which are not insured because we have issued a nil Permitted Limit or Supplies made after we have withdrawn a Permitted Limit; and
iii . VAT (or similar sales taxes).

   

b. You may not deduct the value of:

 

i. Credit notes you have issued, or rebates you have granted (including retrospective volume rebates, loyalty rebates and early settlement rebates), or
ii. Receivables where you are not entitled to a Claim Payment because of your failure to comply with the terms and conditions of your Policy.

 

6.2 Declaration and calculation of premium

 

For your insured receivables to remain covered under your Policy, you need to declare your total sales volume on our online information system or in writing within the timeframe specified in the Special Terms. For each Declaration Period, your sales should be broken down between Insured Sales and uninsured sales and your Insured Sales should be broken down Annually between Domestic and Export sales, where applicable.

 

By multiplying your Insured Sales by the applicable Premium Rate(s) specified in the Special Terms, we will calculate and invoice the premium you will need to pay us (and insurance taxes as required by applicable legislation) in line with the terms of payment specified in the Special Terms.

 

6.3 Minimum premium

 

A minimum premium as specified in the Special Terms is due for each Policy Period. Insurance taxes on minimum premium will be calculated using the average tax rate on the premium invoiced for the relevant Policy Period.

 

If we terminate your Policy, the minimum premium for the Policy Period then in force will become immediately due, calculated pro rata to the time that the Policy was on risk If you terminate the Policy, no pro rata will apply.

 

6.4 Failure to declare your sales or to pay premium

 

a. In the event that:

 

i. You do not pay your premium or minimum premium in full when due;
ii. You do not send us your sales declaration on time and in line with section 6.2; or
iii. You do not send us within 30 days of us asking you to do so any document or information we may reasonably request to assess your sales declaration:

 

we will send you a Notice asking you to remedy all applicable failures.

 

b. If you do not remedy such failures, we may send you a Notice terminating the Policy. We will then have no liability for insured receivables relating to goods or services Supplied after the date that we send this termination Notice. You will remain liable to pay us the minimum premium due under the Policy as if it had not been terminated.

 

7. Your Permitted limits

 

7.1 Setting your Permitted Limits

 

a. For the Policy to cover your insured receivables due from a Buyer, you need to request and obtain from us or the Risk Service Provider a Permitted Limit on that Buyer using our online information system or in writing.

 

  Page 21 /30

EULER HERMES NORTH AMERICA INSURANCE COMPANY

 

 

EH Corporate Advantage Policy

General Terms and Conditions

 

 

b. We may issue a temporary Permitted Limit. The valid Permitted Limit for the period of time specified in our temporary Permitted Limit will be the sum of the temporary Permitted Limit and any pre-existnig Permitted Limit for that Buyer.

 

c. If we have issued a Permitted Limit containing specific conditions, to be entitled to any Claim Payment for the Buyer concerned you must have met all those conditions in full.

 

d. If you grant credit on payment terms more favorable to your Buyer than the Maximum Terms of Payment specified in the Special Terms, for your receivables to be covered under the Policy, this needs be agreed by us on our Permitted Limit.

 

e. You are responsible for ensuring that the Buyer named in our Permitted Limit is the same legal entity to which you invoice the goods or services Supplied.

 

7.2 Start and continuation of Permitted Limits

 

a. Unless stated otherwise in our Endorsement, Permitted Limits and Permitted Limit increases take effect on the first day of the month of the date of the request but in no event shall they be effective prior to the start date of the Policy.

 

b. Regardless of the Policy Period, and unless we have issued a temporary Permitted Limit, no more than one Permitted Limit may be in effect for a Buyer at any time and successive Permitted Limits on a Buyer are not cumulative.

 

7.3 Amendments to your Permitted Limits and country cover

 

a. You may apply for an increase, a decrease or a cancellation of a Permitted Limit. Any cancellation or decrease will take effect for goods or services Supplied on and after the date of your request.

 

b. We may at any time withdraw, reduce or modify a Permitted Limit by issuing a Permitted Limit Endorsement. Any such withdrawal, reduction or modification will take effect for goods or services Supplied on and after the date of our Endorsement.

 

This effective date will be delayed by 30 days provided that:

 

i. Your Buyer is not in a State of Default;

ii. The Policy has not terminated; and

iii This period does not exceed the expiration date where it is a temporary Permitted Limit, in which case the expiration date will prevail.

 

If the Buyer enters into a State of Default or the Policy is terminated after the date we issue our Permitted Limit, the withdrawal, reduction or modification will become immediately effective.

 

c. Your cover for goods or services Supplied after the effective date of the reduction will be the amount of the reduced Permitted Limit less any amounts outstanding from the Buyer.

 

d. Your cover for goods or services Supplied after the expiration of a temporary Permitted Limit will be the amount of the pre-existing Permitted Limit issued by us less any amounts outstanding from the Buyer.

 

e. We may at any time in writing modify your cover on a specific country for all Buyers domiciled in that country. Such modification will take effect 5 days after the date of the Endorsement.

 

f. If we withdraw a Permitted Limit or if we believe there is some other reason, we may require you to immediately file a Claim and Collection form. In the event we exercise this right under the Policy, you will not be responsible for any collection fees on amounts collected. Failure to comply with our request will result in no Claim Payment being due to you for said Buyer.

 

7.4 Amendment of cover when your Buyer enters and exits a State of Default

 

a. Cover is automatically withdrawn for receivables relating to goods or services Supplied at any time after the date on which a Buyer meets the criteria defined in a, c, d, or e of the State of Default definition.

 

b. Where we have not cancelled, withdrawn, reduced, or modified the Permitted Limit for the Buyer and no event of loss has occurred, cover on that Buyer will be reinstated retroactively when the State of Default has been resolved.

General Terms and Conditions

 

 

C. Claims and Debt Collection

 

8. Making a claim under your Policy by filing a Claim and Collection form

 

8.1 To make a claim for unpaid insured receivables, you need to file a Claim and Collection form including all receivables owed to you by the relevant Buyer, whether insured or not or Disputed. You will give us, at our request, additional supporting documents when necessary to evidence your claim against your Buyer.

 

8.2 You must file your Claim and Collection form before the expiration of the earliest applicable Claim Filing Period:

 

a. Where your Buyer is Insolvent, whether or not your invoices are overdue, the Claim Filing Period expires 10 days after you learn of the Insolvency, or 90 days after the date of Insolvency, whichever is earlier.

 

b. For Protracted Default, the Claim Filing Period expires 90 days after the end of the Maximum Extension Period, or 180 days after the date of Supply, whichever is later.

 

c. If your Buyer becomes Insolvent during the Claim Filing Period for Protracted Default, you need to file your Claim and Collection form within the Claim Filing Period for Protracted Default or Insolvency, whichever is earlier.

 

9. Collection Authorization

 

When you file a Claim and Collection form with us against a Buyer, you authorize us, a Euler Hermes Group affiliate, or other third party appointed by us, to collect the receivables and to exercise all rights relating to the receivables, whether they are partly or fully insured, in line with the Debt Collection Services Endorsement. You must comply with the terms and conditions of the Debt Collection Services Endorsement and follow any instructions we may give you regarding collection action.

 

10. Recoveries

 

All Recoveries received from your Buyer or any third party will be shared between you and us as specified in this section and we will apply this allocation even if your Buyer or any third party suggests the Recoveries should be allocated differently. Any part of a Recovery which relates to VAT (or similar sales taxes) will be allocated to the VAT (or similar sales taxes) element of the outstanding receivables.

 

10.1 Recoveries before settlement of your Claim Payment

 

a. You need to inform us as soon as possible of any Recovery received by you or on your behalf by any third party.

 

b. Before the date we receive your Claim and Collection form, we will allocate all sums recovered to invoices owed by the Buyer in chronological order until all covered invoices have been paid in full.

 

c. After the date we receive your Claim and Collection form but before settlement of your Claim Payment we will share all sums we or you collect between you and us pro rata based on the ratio between the Insured Debt and the total indebtedness of the Buyer at the date we receive your Claim and Collection form. Your share of Recoveries will be allocated to the total outstanding receivables due from the Buyer which exceeds the Insured Debt, until this amount has been recovered in full. Our share will be used to reduce the Insured Debt.

 

1 0.2 Recoveries after settlement of your Claim Payment

 

a. In order for you to remain entitled to the Claim Payment received, you must inform us immediately of any Recovery received by you or any third party on your behalf and remit to us our share within 30 days of receipt of our payment request.

 

b. We will allocate all sums recovered between you and us pro-rata based on our respective interests in the total undisputed amount filed with us until we are fully reimbursed for the total Claim Payment and all related costs incurred by us. We will also share in all related costs as determined by us associated with the collection of the debt on a pro-rata basis. In determining our respective pro-rata interests, amounts retained by you through any each and every first loss amount and/or unirnsured percentage shall be included in the calculation, but amounts retained by you through the aggregate first loss shall be excluded from the calculation.

 

11. Claim Payment

 

We will calculate your Claim Payment in accordance with the steps set out below.

 

11.1 Calculation of your Insured debt

 

a. We will take the total amount of the receivables filed in the Claim and Collection form, from which we will deduct where applicable any Recoveries received before the date on which we received your Claim and Collection Form, in line with section 10.1.

 

  Page 23 /30

EULER HERMES NORTH AMERICA INSURANCE COMPANY

 

 

EH Corporate Advantage Policy

General Terms and Conditions

 

 

b. We will then deduct from the above calculation:

 

i. Receivables not covered under your Policy,
ii. Disputed receivables,
iii. The value of any enforceable guarantees or other security which you have not enforced, and
iv. The value of any rights of retention of title, when incorporated in your sales contract with your Buyer, which you have not made all reasonable efforts to enforce.

 

c. We will then deduct the value of any applicable VAT (or similar sales taxes) from the amount calculated above.

 

d. The resulting amount will be your Insured Debt unless it exceeds the applicable Permitted Limit, in which case, your Insured Debt will be the amount of the Permitted Limit.

 

11.2 Calculation of your Insured Loss

 

We will deduct from your Insured Debt the amount of our share of any Recoveries which are allocated to your Insured Debt in line with section 10.1. The resulting amount will be your Insured Loss.

 

11.3 Calculation of your Claim Payment

 

a. We will then calculate your Claim Payment by multiplying your Insured Loss by the insured percentage specified in the Special Terms, or any lower insured percentage specified in the applicable Permitted Limit Endorsement.

 

b. Such Claim Payment will be subject to the applicable Maximum Liability set out in section 12.

 

11.4 Making your Claim Payment

 

a. We will make your Claim Payment

i. If your Buyer is Insolvent, within 30 days from the date we receive your completed Claim and Collection form and any additional documents or information we may request. Information required by us to make a Claim Payment will include confirmation that the debt has been scheduled or allowed pursuant to a court order in an Insolvency, bankruptcy, or relief of debt proceedings, or

ii. If a Protracted Default has occurred, within 60 days from the expiration of the relevant Waiting Period and our receipt of any additional documents or information we may request.

 

b. If any part of your receivable was Disputed, we will recalculate your Claim Payment in line with section 11 when it is no longer Disputed. This will happen upon our receipt of evidence that the Buyer’s liability has been established by agreement in writing or by a final binding court judgment or arbitration award. We will make any additional Claim Payment due to you within 30 days from the date you provide us with such evidence. Final binding court judgment must be obtained in a jurisdiction in which the Buyer has a majority of its assets.

c. If you receive a Claim Payment from us to which you are not entitled under the Policy, you will repay it to us within 30 days of our written Notice or of you becoming aware that you are not entitled to it.

 

12. Maximum Liability

 

12.1 We will have no further liability to you for a Policy Period when the total amount of Claim Payments made for receivables relating to goods or services Supplied during that Policy Period first reaches the Maximum Liability specified in the Special Terms, even if the total value of your Permitted Limits exceeds the Maximum Liability. If our liability ceases because of the Maximum Liability being reached your obligations under the Policy are not affected.

 

If we terminate the Policy early in line with its terms, we will recalculate the Maximum Liability pro rata for the period when the Policy was on risk.

 

12.2 If the Maximum Liability is specified in the Special Terms as a multiplier, we will calculate the amount applicable for a Policy Period by applying at any time the multiplier specified in the Special Terms to the greater of your premium paid or the minimum premium, excluding insurance taxes.

 

  Page 24 /30

EULER HERMES NORTH AMERICA INSURANCE COMPANY

 

 

EH Corporate Advantage Policy

General Terms and Conditions

 

 

If we terminate the Policy early in line with its terms, we will recalculate the Maximum Liability based on the premium paid or the minimum premium pro-rated to the time the Policy was on risk, which ever is greater.

 

13. Subrogation

 

13.1 As soon as we make a Claim Payment, we become entitled to enforce all of your rights, claims, guarantees, security, collateral, causes of action and defenses against a Buyer (or other third parties) relating to all receivables included in the applicable Claim and Collection form (our Subrogation Rights). For each Claim Payment made, our Subrogation Rights will end once the Claim Payment amount has been fully repaid to us.

 

13.2 In order to receive a Claim Payment, you must assign to us all of your rights, claims, guarantees, security, collateral, causes of action and defenses against a Buyer or other third parties relating to all receivables filed in the Claim and Collection Form.

 

14. Shared risk

 

14.1 Unless otherwise endorsed to the Policy, you will remain solely responsible for any part of the insured receivables owed to you by a Buyer which does not qualify for a Claim Payment. You must not assign it wholly or in part to any third party (including but not limited to any financial institution), or insure it with any other insurer. If you fail to comply with the above, we will not be liable for any Claim Payment relating to these insured receivables even if you have not made a claim or received a claim payment under that policy or facility.

 

14.2 In addition, we will not be liable for your Claim Payment if the applicable insured receivables are insured or covered under any other insurance policy or facility even if you have not made a claim under that policy or facility.

 

15. Assignment of your Policy or of your Claim Payment

 

You may not assign the Policy to any third party. However, when endorsed to the Policy, you may assign to a third party the right to receive any Claim Payment.

 

D. General conditions

 

16. Your Application

 

16.1 You and we agree that your Application and any related supporting information provided by you or on your behalf form the basis of and are part of the Policy.

 

16.2 For your insured receivables to be and remain covered under the Policy, you warrant that the information in the above documents was complete, true and accurate when we issued the Policy and that you will immediately notify us of any material change to the information supplied or any other material facts that may affect the risks insured under the Policy. This does not limit your legal obligation to act with utmost good faith at all times.

 

17. Inspection of documents

 

17.1 At our request you will allow us or any of our representatives to inspect and take copies of any information, documents or records in your possession relating to your insured receivables and the Policy.
