2. Sale; Purchase Price; Billing.

 

2.1 Assignment and Sale.

 

2.1.1 Seller agrees to offer for sale to FSW all of its Accounts and FSW may purchase, at FSW’s offices in Phoenix, Arizona, those Accounts as are acceptable to FSW, in its sole and absolute discretion. FSW shall have no obligation to purchase any Account from Seller which it does not approve and accept. FSW reserves the right to reject an Account regardless of whether FSW may have purchased the Accounts of a particular Customer in the past.

 

2.1.2 Accounts shall be offered by Seller to FSW through the Online Reporting Service or upon forms as may be provided by FSW, accompanied by original or copies of invoices therefor (as FSW may request), together with satisfactory evidence of shipping or proof of delivery or performance of services, and other documents as FSW may from time to time require. FSW may elect not to deem an Account an Eligible Account until Seller furnishes all requested supporting documentation for such Account.

 

2.1.3 Upon acceptance in writing of the purchase and assignment of an Account by a duly authorized agent of FSW, which acceptance may be indicated through the Online Reporting Service, said assignment shall vest full, absolute and irrevocable title and ownership to said Account in FSW, as the sole and absolute owner thereof, together with the Proceeds thereof and Seller’s title to the goods represented thereby. As the full and sole owner of the Account, FSW shall be entitled to all of the ownership, title, rights, or guarantees which Seller possessed with respect thereto and with respect to the goods represented thereby, including without limitation, the right to stoppage in transit, reclamation or replevin of the goods, the right to the goods which may be rejected, returned, or reconsigned and in and to any new Account created through the resale or exchange of those goods, the right to file in the name of Seller or FSW materialmen’s liens and claims under any payment bond, and the right to contact Customers at any time for the purpose of verifying any information relating to any Account in the name of Seller or FSW, without notice to or further consent of Seller. Seller shall have no right or power to modify, change or alter the terms, price or other conditions of any Account, without first obtaining the prior written approval of FSW.

 

2.1.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, FSW may elect to only purchase Accounts of either Seller, so long as, before and after that purchase, the unpaid balance of the Accounts does not exceed, before and after that purchase, the Maximum Amount; notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a commitment by FSW to purchase any amount of Accounts from Seller. FSW shall have a first priority security interest in all Accounts not purchased by FSW and such Accounts shall be paid directly to FSW pursuant to Section 2.1.6.

 

2.1.5 It is specifically understood and agreed that notwithstanding the foregoing, FSW shall not as a result of purchasing those Accounts, either expressly or impliedly, be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation which Seller may now or at any time hereafter have to its Customers, and each Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold FSW harmless from any and all liability with respect thereto.

 

2.1.6 Each Customer of an Account may be notified in writing that its Account has been sold and assigned to FSW and that all payments on said Account shall be made only to FSW. Such Notification shall be done in a manner as FSW shall reasonably prescribe from time to time.

 

2.1.7 The Parties intend that the sale of the Accounts hereunder be deemed to be a true sale and not a financing arrangement and that the Accounts will not be the property of Seller’s bankruptcy estate, in the event of Seller’s bankruptcy.

2.2 Advances; Purchase Price; Available Funds.

 

2.2.1 FSW, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, may make Advances via ACH or wire transfer in such amounts as Seller may request and FSW may approve in FSW’s sole and absolute discretion, up to the collective Advance Percentage of the Net Face Amount of the Eligible Accounts, provided that at no time shall FSW be obligated to have outstanding Advances exceeding the Maximum Eligible Advances. Seller may at any time submit a Borrowing Base Certificate requesting that FSW pay and advance to Seller an Advance not to exceed the Maximum Eligible Advances, and FSW may, in its sole discretion, make such Advances, subject to the conditions and limitations herein, by wire transfer to Seller’s account designated to FSW. Advances may be made within two (2) Business Days for all Eligible Accounts. In the event of an Overadvance (i) Seller agrees to immediately pay such Overadvance directly to FSW; and (ii) FSW shall have the right to charge the Overadvance Fee in its sole discretion. All terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such Overadvance.

 

2.2.2 The purchase price for the Accounts will be the Net Face Amount thereof less any amounts owed to FSW, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At the time that the Account is purchased, which shall be in FSW’s sole discretion, FSW may make funds available for each Account in an amount equal to the Advance Percentage set forth in this Agreement.

 

2.2.3 At such time as there are Available Funds, FSW may release such Available Funds to Seller upon submission of a Borrowing Base Certificate at the sole discretion of FSW. An Account may be deemed to be paid after the expiration of three (3) Business Days after the remittance is received by FSW, or a longer period as is necessary to allow for clearance of the remittance by FSW’s bank.

 

2.2.4 Each Seller shall pay the Collateral Monitoring Fee, which may be deducted by FSW from Advances or Available Funds.

 

2.2.5 All Advances and Available Funds remitted by FSW shall be by ACH or wire transfer, and which may be reduced by any amounts due to FSW from Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Failure to reduce outstanding amounts owed to FSW shall not relieve Seller from its liability to pay FSW for fees associated with such outstanding balance or the Accounts.

 

2.2.6 Advances and Available Funds may be held by FSW and may be applied to any Obligations of each Seller to FSW at the sole discretion of FSW, including but not limited to FSW’s Costs, the Collateral Monitor Fee, the Net Face Amount of any Eligible Account to be charged back by Seller, adjustments, short payments, or discounts made or allowed on any Eligible Account, or sums or Obligations owing from Seller to FSW, whether arising out of this Agreement or otherwise. FSW, in its sole discretion, may take any reasonable action with respect to this subsection 2.2.6 as applicable to any Seller hereunder.

 

2.2.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, FSW shall have no obligation to disburse any Advances or Available Funds to Seller until the time as all Obligations of Seller to FSW, arising out of this Agreement or otherwise, have been fully paid and satisfied and Seller has otherwise cured any Events of Default or Incipient Defaults.

 

2.2.8 The Daily Balance Fee will be calculated daily and will be charged to Seller’s account on the last day of each calendar month. Any publicly announced decrease or increase in the Base Rate will result in an adjustment on the next Business Day, provided, however, that in the event the Base Rate is lower than the Minimum Base Rate, the Minimum Base Rate shall be assessed. After the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as the Event of Default continues, all the Obligations will, at FSW’s option, with or without the notice to Seller, be assessed a rate per annum equal to the Daily Balance Default Rate.

 

2.2.9 In no event will the total amount of any fees or other charges to be paid by Seller to FSW that could be characterized as interest exceed the amount of interest or other charges permitted by applicable Law and in the event excess interest or charges are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been paid by Seller to FSW, the excess amount will be applied as a credit against the outstanding Obligations and Seller will not have any action against FSW or any damages arising out of the payment or collection of those excess interest or charges if so applied or the excess amounts are refunded to Seller.

3. Recourse of Eligible Accounts.

 

3.1 Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that all Accounts purchased by FSW, including but not limited to Eligible Accounts, will be with full recourse to Seller. FSW may require Seller to pay to FSW the then unpaid Net Face Amount, together with any unpaid fees relating thereto, for an Eligible Account in the event such Account is no longer deemed an Eligible Account in the sole discretion of FSW, including but not limited to Accounts that are or that become:

 

3.1.1 subject to a Customer Dispute. FSW is under no obligation to determine whether a Customer Dispute is bona fide. Seller acknowledges and agrees that any returned goods shall be and remain the property of FSW until such time as FSW has been paid in full on such Account. FSW shall have the right, in its discretion, to dispose of any returned or rejected goods at a price and upon commercially reasonable terms available to FSW under the circumstances, in the sole opinion of FSW and as required by applicable Law and the full value of such sale and disposition proceeds will be credited to the Obligations;

 

3.1.2 do not conform to the warranties and representations set forth in this Agreement;

 

3.1.3 owed by a Customer who, in FSW’s commercially reasonable credit judgment, has become insolvent or has defaulted on its obligations to Seller or any of its other creditors; or

 

3.1.4 unpaid beyond the Late Payment Date.

 

3.2 The payment to FSW for an Account that is no longer deemed to be an Eligible Account as set forth in the foregoing Section 3.1 may be accomplished in any one of the following manner or combination thereof, at FSW’s option:

 

3.2.1 deducting the Net Face Amount of the Eligible Account from Advances and/or Available Funds;

 

3.2.2 deducting the Net Face Amount of the Eligible Account from any other funds which come into the possession of FSW and which would otherwise be paid to Seller;

 

3.2.3 debiting the Net Face Amount of the Eligible Account against any deposit account of Seller, pursuant to Section 13.1; or

 

3.2.4 payment from Seller, which shall be paid within one (1) Business Day following demand by FSW.

 

3.3 If an Account that is no longer an Eligible Account, or any payment is charged back to Seller after the collection date, Seller will pay FSW the Daily Balance Default Rate from the date of the chargeback of such or payment until Seller has paid FSW in full for the Obligations related to that Account.

 

3.4 Subject to the terms of this agreement, each Seller agrees that FSW, in its sole discretion, may use or employ any of the foregoing acts, options or remedies set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 in connection with any Account purchased under this factoring facility from either Seller in order to satisfy the Obligations owed by either Seller to FSW.

 

4. Security Interest in Collateral.

 

4.1 In order to secure the obligations of Seller hereunder, each Seller hereby grants FSW a security interest in all Collateral, now owned or hereafter acquired by Seller, as an additional inducement to FSW to enter into this Agreement. FSW shall have a first priority security interest in all Collateral, provided, however, that FSW agrees that it will accept a second junior lien position in all right, title, claim, legal or equitable interest in or arising out of equipment and machinery owned, leased or used by Seller in the ordinary course and operation of its business and FSW will promptly execute any and all documents necessary for recordation for such subordinated position, which shall be in the sole discretion of FSW.

 

Page 4 of 19

 

 

4.2 Seller authorizes FSW at any time and from time to time to file any financing statements and amendments thereto that it deems appropriate to perfect its security interest in the Collateral Such financing statement may, at the sole discretion of FSW, (a) describe the Collateral as “all assets of Seller, excluding certain Accounts owed by government agencies” or words of similar effect; (b) include a statement that Seller has agreed not to assign its Accounts to any other party; and/or (c) include a statement that any grant of a subsequent security interest may constitute a tortious interference with FSW’s rights under this Agreement.

 

4.3 In the event any principal of either Seller including, but not limited to equity owners, managers, officers or directors, and their respective employees and agents (collectively with Seller, the “Seller Parties”) during the term of this Agreement or while Seller remains liable to FSW for any Obligations, directly or indirectly, including acting by, through or in conjunction with any other person, cause to be formed a new entity or otherwise become associated with any new or existing entity, whether corporate, partnership, limited liability company or otherwise in a business similar to or competitive with that of Seller (a “New Entity”), such New Entity shall be deemed to have jointly and severally with Seller expressly assumed the Obligations due FSW under this Agreement. Seller and New Entity shall notify FSW of the formation of the New Entity within one (1) Business Day of formation. With respect to any such New Entity, Seller shall be deemed to have been granted FSW an irrevocable power of attorney with authority to file an initial UCC-1 financing statement with the New Entity as Debtor and to have the UCC-1 financing statement filed with any and all appropriate secretaries of state or other UCC filing offices. FSW shall be held harmless by Seller and the Seller Parties and be relieved of any liability as a result of FSW’s authentication and filing of any such financing statement or the resulting perfection of its ownership or security interests in such New Entity’s assets. The Seller Parties shall, and shall cause the New Entity, to execute and deliver to FSW agreements substantially identical to this Agreement and all other agreements between Seller and FSW or its affiliates, within five (5) Business Days following FSW’s request to do so. FSW shall have the right to notify the Customers of the New Entity of FSW’s rights, including without limitation, FSW’s right to collect all Accounts, and to notify any creditor of the New Entity that FSW has such rights in the New Entity’s assets. Nothing in this Section shall authorize or excuse the formation by any of the foregoing of a New Entity or to otherwise divert or attempt to divert accounts, assets, income or business away from Seller or FSW. Notwithstanding the above, the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.3 remain subject to any covenants contained in Section 8 below, including, but not limited to, any requirements that Seller receive FSW’s consent and approval prior to any merger, sale or other similar transaction as specified in Section 8.9 of the Seller’s business or assets.

 

5. Collection of Accounts.

 

5.1 All remittances, including cash, checks and other Proceeds arising from the Accounts shall be the sole and exclusive property of FSW. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have any right to, or interest in, or power or authority to deposit or in any way deal with the Proceeds of any Account. Upon receiving any inquiry from a Customer relating to payment of an Account, Seller shall inform the Customer to make payment directly to FSW.

 

5.2 If for any reason any Seller should receive any payment or other Proceeds with respect to an Account, Seller agrees to hold that payment or Proceeds in trust for FSW separate and apart from any property of Seller and shall deliver the same to FSW on the same or next Business Day, in the form received without negotiation, together with any voucher or memoranda. If any payment received by Seller with respect to an Account is cashed, deposited or negotiated by Seller, it is understood by Seller that the action shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and may subject Seller to civil liability. Notwithstanding that the action constitutes an Event of Default under this Agreement, Seller shall immediately be obligated to pay said sum to FSW, plus an amount equal to 10% of said sum, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages to compensate FSW for additional administrative and collection expenses resulting from that action. In addition to all other remedies, FSW shall have the right to debit those amounts against any deposit account of Seller, pursuant to Section 13.1.

 

5.3 Any remittance made by a Customer, including remittances representing C.O.D. sales, may be applied by FSW in its sole discretion, unless specifically designated as being in payment of a particular Account purchased by FSW.

5.4 To facilitate the collection of the Accounts, each Seller does hereby make, constitute and appoint FSW, any agents designated by FSW, as its attorney-in-fact with full power to receive, take, accept, endorse, and deposit in the name of FSW or Seller any check, note, draft, money order or other evidence of payment which may come into the possession of FSW pertaining to any Account; receive and open all mail addressed to Seller pertaining to the Accounts, with copies of said mail promptly provided to Seller upon receipt; demand, collect, receive, receipt for, give releases for, or compromise or settle the payment of or prosecute, or defend any action or proceeding pertaining to the Accounts in its own name or in the name of Seller; sign Seller’s name on any notice of assignment, materialman’s lien or waiver thereof, or on any other instrument or document with respect to those Accounts; prepare and sign Seller’s name and file a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document with respect to any Customer and do all acts and things necessary to facilitate the collection of those Accounts. The authority granted FSW shall be coupled with an interest and remain in full force and effect until all Accounts are paid in full or all Obligations of Seller to FSW have been fully paid and satisfied. In this regard, however, FSW shall have no obligation to engage in any collection or other action with respect to the collection of any Account, nor shall it have any direct or indirect liability to Seller for its actions undertaken or not undertaken in connection herewith. All fees and expenses of any attorney or collection agency employed by FSW or on its behalf to collect any Account with respect to which FSW has or which is otherwise subject to a notice of a dispute, claim, offset, defense or counterclaim by the Customer shall be charged to Seller and shall be paid by Seller, as part of its Obligations.

 

5.5 Each Seller agrees to cooperate, at Seller’s expense, with FSW in making a good faith, commercially reasonable effort to assist FSW in collecting the Accounts.

 

5.6 Each Seller authorizes FSW to accept, endorse and deposit on behalf of Seller, any check tendered by customer “in full payment” of its obligation to Seller. Seller releases FSW from any claim which Seller may now or hereafter have arising out of FSW’s endorsement and deposit of any check issued by a Customer stating that the check is in full payment of an Account, but issued for less than the full amount which may have been owed and FSW agrees that any amounts actually received by FSW for such Account will be credited to the Obligations owed on such Account. Seller shall not assert against FSW any claim arising therefrom, irrespective of whether that action by FSW is an accord and satisfaction of Seller’s claim under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise.

 

5.7 Each Seller shall notify FSW immediately in the event of a Customer Dispute and in the event that the goods represented by any Account are returned to Seller for any reason, Seller shall, subject to FSW’s prior approval, promptly adjust and settle the same at its expense and advise FSW of any such adjustment. Seller shall, on demand, pay over to FSW the amount of any such adjustment on said Account; in the alternative, FSW may offset against any such sums as may be due to Seller the amount of that adjustment or the full unpaid balance thereon. Seller shall pay any and all expenses and attorneys’ fees and disbursements that FSW may incur in connection with a Customer Dispute. Until said Account is paid in full by Seller, it is understood and agreed that all returned or rejected goods shall be and remain the property of FSW. FSW shall have the right to dispose of any returned or rejected goods at a price and upon terms reasonably available to FSW under the circumstances, in the sole opinion of FSW, and in accordance with applicable Law and FSW agrees that any amounts actually received by FSW for such Account will be credited to the Obligations owed on such Account.

 

6. Conditions to all Purchases.

 

6.1 Any purchase of Accounts by FSW, including the initial purchase, is subject to the following conditions:

 

6.1.1 No event shall have occurred and be continuing, which would with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default; and

 

6.1.2 The Seller shall have delivered to FSW on or prior to each date of purchase, in form and substance satisfactory to FSW, complete information with respect to each Account together with additional information as may reasonably be requested by FSW; and

 

6.1.3 There shall be no material adverse change in the financial position or business prospects of the Seller or Customers, as compared to that existing on the date hereof.

7. Warranties, Representations and Covenants.

 

As an inducement for FSW to enter into this Agreement and to Purchase Accounts from Seller, and with full knowledge that the truth and accuracy of these warranties, representations and covenants are being relied upon by FSW, regardless of any credit investigation, diligence or knowledge of FSW, each Seller warrants, represents and covenants as follows, which warranties, representations and covenants shall be deemed to be made at the time each Account is purchased by FSW:

 

7.1 If Seller is a corporation or a limited liability company, it is duly organized under the laws of the state set forth in this Agreement, and is and at all times hereinafter will be in good standing under the laws of that state and is duly qualified and in good standing in every other state in which it is required to be registered or licensed.

 

7.2 The Seller has full power and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, any assignment and any other documents related thereto to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

 

7.3 The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or conflict with, any contract, the organization documents of the Seller, any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator or Law applicable to the Seller.

 

7.4 This Agreement, each assignment and all other instruments and documentation being delivered hereunder has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms;

 

7.5 Seller is presently doing business only under the company and Trade Names set forth in this Agreement.

 

7.6 The place of business of Seller, or if Seller has more than one place of business, the location of its chief executive office, is at the location set forth in this Agreement and will not be moved therefrom, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to FSW.

 

7.7 All records of Seller pertaining to the Accounts are maintained electronically and shall be made accessible at Seller’s address set forth in this Agreement and said access availability will not be materially modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to FSW.

 

7.8 Seller is solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature.

 

7.9 Seller is the true and lawful owner of the Accounts and the Collateral.

 

7.10 All financial statements, applications and information delivered to FSW or financial records or Seller’s Books which may be shown to FSW at any time shall be true and correct in all material respects and kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and there has been no adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the business since the date thereof.

 

7.11 There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened or contemplated, before any court, administrative agency, arbitrator, governmental body or other tribunal, except as may be specifically disclosed in writing to FSW, relating to: (i) the Accounts; (ii) Seller; or (iii) to Seller’s knowledge, the Customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the ability of the Seller to perform hereunder or FSW’s ability to collect the Accounts or realize upon the Collateral. If any of the foregoing arises, Seller shall immediately notify FSW in writing with respect thereto. Without limitation thereof, Seller has not, within the past 180 days, contemplated or approved a bankruptcy filing with Seller as debtor, or a filing under comparable state law proceedings, including but not limited to an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a composition among creditors, nor has the Seller been threatened with any such action by its creditors on an involuntary basis. During that period, Seller has not consulted with bankruptcy or insolvency counsel with respect thereto.

8.1 Each Seller shall keep proper and accurate books, correspondence, records and papers pertaining to all Accounts and the Collateral and make proper entries in its books reflecting the sale of the Accounts hereunder to FSW. From time to time as reasonably requested by FSW, at the sole expense of Seller, FSW or its designee shall have access, during reasonable business hours, if prior to an Event of Default, and at any time on or after an Event of Default, to all premises where Collateral is located for the purposes of inspecting (and removing, if after the occurrence of an Event of Default) any of the Collateral, including copies of Seller’s Books, and Seller shall permit FSW or its designee to make copies or extracts therefrom as FSW may request.

Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes all accountants and third parties to disclose and deliver to FSW at Seller’s expense all financial information, books and records, work papers, management reports and other information in their possession relating to Seller.

 

8.2 Seller shall furnish to FSW within five (5) Business Days of a request by FSW for information relating to the Accounts, the Collateral, Seller and its financial condition, or any other matter related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as FSW may request from time to time in a commercially reasonable manner.

Seller shall not create, permit or suffer to exist any lien, claim or right in, to or on the Accounts other than the interest of FSW.

All insurance policies shall name FSW as the exclusive loss payee, shall provide that proceeds payable thereunder shall be payable directly to FSW unless written authority to the contrary is obtained from FSW, and shall also provide that no act or default of Seller or any other person shall affect the right of FSW to recover thereunder.

Seller shall provide FSW with the original or a certificate of each policy of insurance which shall contain a provision requiring the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to FSW in the event of cancellation or termination of the policy for any reason whatsoever. If Seller fails to provide or pay for any insurance required pursuant to this Section 8.7, FSW is authorized (but not obligated) to procure the same at Seller’s expense. Seller agrees to deliver to FSW, promptly as rendered, true and correct copies of all reports made to all insurance companies.

Seller hereby waives any legal rights it has with respect to data privacy to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

 

11.3.4 Seller acknowledges that any and all of the copyright, trademarks, trade names, patents and other intellectual property rights subsisting in or used in connection with the Online Reporting Service, including all documentation and manuals relating thereto, are, and shall remain, the sole property of the FSW. Seller shall not, during or at any time after the expiry or termination of its use of the Online Reporting Service, in any way question or dispute the ownership by FSW thereof. In consideration of this Agreement and until all Obligations have been paid in full to FSW, Seller hereby grants to FSW a royalty-free, nontransferable, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use the intellectual property, including but not limited to names and tradenames of Seller, as FSW deems reasonably necessary in its sole discretion to collect the Accounts, protect and enforce FSW’s rights in the Collateral and to obtain payment in full of the Obligations.”

Seller hereby agrees that it shall use the same solely in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and that it shall not, at any time during or after expiry or termination of this Agreement, disclose the same, whether directly or indirectly, to any third party or use it in connection with any purpose other than the Transactions.

 

11.3.8 The Parties shall be responsible for restricting access to passwords and systems relating to the Online Reporting Service and shall only provide passwords and access to the Online Reporting System to those individuals on an as needed basis. Upon learning of any breach of security or suspected breach of security to the Online Reporting System, each Party shall report the incident immediately to the other Party. Seller agrees to implement and follow authentication procedures and protocols requested by FSW. The Parties shall be solely responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality of its authentication codes and passwords, and each Party assumes all responsibility for any transactions undertaken in that Party’s name through the use of those authentication codes, passwords or using that Party’s electronic signature.

During that period of time, FSW may limit or terminate Seller’s access to online services. Seller acknowledges that the information FSW makes available to Seller through online internet access, both before and after an Event of Default, constitutes and satisfies any duty to respond to a request for accounting or request regarding a statement of account that is referenced in the UCC.

 

12. Term of this Agreement, Minimum Monthly Fees. This Agreement shall be in effect for the Original Term and shall automatically renew for consecutive like periods (each a “Renewal Term”) unless terminated by either Party giving the other written notice not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Original Term or any Renewal Term, which written notice shall clearly state its intention to terminate at the end of the current term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller obtains a non-factoring credit facility, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with thirty (30) days written notice to FSW, and Seller shall not be liable for any termination fees for such banking facility termination. FSW may terminate this Agreement at any time after an Event of Default. As consideration for FSW making the necessary financial accommodations, Seller agrees to pay FSW each calendar month during the Original Term and for each Renewal Term an amount equal to the Minimum Monthly Fee. In the event of a Minimum Monthly Shortfall, Seller agrees to pay the Minimum Monthly Shortfall within 15 days immediately following the last day of the month in which the Minimum Monthly Shortfall occurred. If the aggregate amount of the Collateral Monitoring Fee and the Daily Balance Fee paid by Seller to FSW in any calendar month is greater than the Minimum Monthly Fee, then no Minimum Monthly Shortfall Fee will be owed by Seller to FSW for such calendar month. If Seller terminates this Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the Original Term, or any subsequent Renewal Term, or if the FSW terminates this Agreement at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Seller shall remain obligated to pay the total of the Minimum Monthly Fee for the time remaining for the Original Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, in additional to all other fees that are due and owing.

 

No termination of this Agreement shall affect the liabilities and obligations of Seller or the rights, powers and remedies of FSW under this Agreement, or the security interest granted to FSW hereunder until all Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied.

Unless alternate arrangements are made acceptable to FSW, in its sole discretion, Seller shall cause all remittances by Client and any obligors on the Eligible Accounts to be remitted to a bank lockbox established by FSW, subject to terms and conditions as are deemed appropriate by FSW and the financial institution, which shall remain in effect so long as any Obligations remain unpaid to FSW. FSW is also hereby authorized by Seller to initiate electronic debit or credit entries through the ACH system to any deposit account maintained by Seller wherever located. Seller shall execute all forms, agreements or authorizations required in connection with these authorizations, which agreement and authorizations are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

 

13.2 Disposal of Papers. Seller authorizes FSW, in its sole discretion, to dispose of any documents, schedules, invoices or other papers delivered to FSW at any time after six months after they are delivered to FSW, unless Seller requests, in writing, the return of the same, which shall be made at Seller’s expense.

13.19 Arbitration. Except for “Core Proceedings” under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or as noted below in the next paragraph of this Section 13.19, the Parties agree to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them, whether in tort, contract or otherwise (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents) arising out of or relating to in any way (i) this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, certificate or document entered into between the Parties, or any dispute, claim or controversy between them related to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the arbitration requirement does not limit the right of FSW to (i) foreclose against any Collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to Collateral or proceeds of Collateral permitted to FSW, such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before, during or after the pendency or any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of either Party to submit any dispute to arbitration, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in this paragraph.

 

Any arbitration proceeding will be before a single arbitrator selected according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney who has practiced in the area of commercial law for a minimum of ten (10) years. The arbitrator will determine whether an issue is arbitrable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

 

In any arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication.

 

In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted at the arbitrator’s discretion and will be governed by the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall award costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2.2 Inventory Loan Funding. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Inventory Loans will be made in amounts not to exceed the amount calculated in accordance with the Borrowing Base as set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate. In calculating the Borrowing Base, only Eligible Inventory shall be used. The eligibility of Inventory shall be determined by FSW in its reasonable commercial discretion. On any Business Day when the Borrower desires that FSW make an Inventory Loan, Borrower shall provide to FSW a notice for the requested Inventory Loan (a Notice of Borrowing). Each Notice of Borrowing required pursuant to this section shall be given in writing and shall be given no later than 11a.m. PST, on the day such Inventory Loan is to be made, and shall be signed by an officer of the Borrower or any employee who has been designated by an authorized person having the authority to deliver a Notice of Borrowing, and, in any event, shall include: (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) on which the Inventory Loan is to be made; (ii) the principal amount of the Inventory Loan; and (iii) the documentation set forth in Section 6.5(a).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Inventory Loan may be made by FSW in good faith reliance upon a telephonic or electronic mail request under this Agreement, provided, however, that FSW shall have the right to request that the Borrower confirm such telephonic or electronic mail request for an Inventory Loan in writing.

After the principal amount of any part of the Inventory Loans shall have become due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration after the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, as compensation to FSW for the increased cost of administering the Inventory Loan, the Inventory Loan will bear interest at the Default Interest Rate, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Interest Rate which is in effect.

 

2.4. Payments. On the Interest Payment Date, Borrower shall make each of the monthly payments of (i) Interest; (ii) the Service Fee; and (iii) the Collateral Monitoring Fee. The outstanding principal amount, all accrued and unpaid Interest and any other Obligations due and owing under this Agreement shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, if not declared due and payable on an earlier date in accordance with the terms hereof.

All payments and other sums received hereunder shall be taken and applied by FSW, at FSW’s option, (i) first, to the payment of any costs and expenses of FSW payable hereunder (other than principal, Interest and the Collateral Monitoring Fee); (ii) second, to Interest due hereunder; (iii) third, to Service Fee due hereinunder; (iv) forth, to the Collateral Monitoring Fee due hereunder; (v) fifth, to the outstanding principal amount; and (vi) sixth, to any outstanding amounts due under any of the Financing Documents.

 

2.5 Maximum Inventory Loan Amount Paydown; Prepayments.

Borrower may from time to time, prepay all or part of the outstanding principal balance of the Inventory Loan, provided, however, that in the event of a payoff of the Inventory Loan or the termination of this Agreement for any reason at any time prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay the Prepayment Fee as required hereunder. The Prepayment Fee shall be waived in the event Borrower obtains a conventional loan facility from a FDIC insured bank, which loan facility is not a factoring facility or an asset based lending facility. The Prepayment Fee shall be in addition to any other fees due to FSW hereunder.

 

2.6 Usury. In the event the Interest Rate or the Default Interest Rate are finally determined to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable usury or similar laws, its application will be suspended and there will be charged instead the maximum rate of interest permitted by such laws. Any interest which has been collected by FSW in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable usury or similar laws prior to the suspension of such interest rates shall be applied to the principal balance of the Inventory Loan.

 

2.7 Inventory Loan Amounts. FSW shall make appropriate debits and credits to the loan account of Borrower corresponding to each Inventory Loan to reflect prepayments, payments by and other disbursements for the account of Borrower, the Interest and any fees and costs provided for herein.

2.8 Inventory Loan Fee. Borrower shall pay the Inventory Loan Fee at the time of the first Inventory Loan hereunder, and thereafter on an annual basis on each anniversary of the Effective Date. Borrower shall pay the Inventory Loan Amendment Fee upon any amendment to this Agreement that increases the Maximum Inventory Loan Amount, which shall be due on the day such amendment is signed by the Borrower. The Inventory Loan Fee and Inventory Loan Amendment Fee shall be fully earned on the due date and shall be nonrefundable.

 

2.9 Late Fee. Borrower shall pay to FSW the Late Fee for each payment of principal, fees or Interest or any other amount due hereunder which is not paid within ten (10) business days of its due date, or for any payment made which is not good funds, provided that collection of said Late Fee shall not be deemed a waiver by FSW of any of its rights under this Agreement or any other instrument given to secure the Obligations. The Borrower and FSW hereby agree that said fee is a fair and reasonable charge for the late payment and shall not be deemed a penalty. Additionally, FSW may exercise any and all other rights and remedies FSW has pursuant to this Agreement. The Late Fee shall be in addition to all other fees due to FSW.

At any time after any Event of Default has occurred, FSW may, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived) and, notwithstanding the provisions contained in any other document or instrument executed or to be executed by Borrower to FSW hereunder or contained in any other agreement, take any one or more of the following actions:

 

7.2.1 Acceleration. FSW may declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

If FSW seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by court process, Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a receiver may be appointed by a court for such purpose without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations. FSW shall have the right to remain on Borrower’s premises or cause a custodian to remain thereon in exclusive control of such premises without charge for as long as FSW deems necessary in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement. If FSW seeks possession of any or all of the Collateral by court process, Borrower irrevocably waives (i) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident or condition to such possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession; and (iii) any requirement that FSW retain possession of and not dispose of such Collateral until after trial or final judgment.

 

7.2.5 Preparation of Collateral. FSW may complete processing, manufacturing or repair all or any part of the Collateral prior to a disposition and, for such purpose and for the purpose of removal, FSW shall have the right to use Borrower’s premises, vehicles, equipment and all other property without charge.

7.2.6 Foreclose on Collateral. FSW may sell or dispose of the Collateral at public or private sale, in one or more sales, as a unit or in parcels, at wholesale or retail, and at such time and place and on such terms as FSW may determine. FSW may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public sale and, if permitted under applicable law, any private sale.

7.2.8 Time of Sale. Without limiting the generality of this Section 7, FSW shall conclusively be deemed to have made a commercially reasonable disposition of any or all of the Collateral if (a) FSW holds a public or private sale of such Collateral at least ten (10) days after notice is given to Borrower of the date fixed for any public sale or the date on or after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made by FSW; (b) with respect to any public sale, the sale is held at least ten (10) days after notice is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which such Collateral is located; and (c) respect to any public disposition, the sale is held any time between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the county in which such Collateral is located at any place designated by FSW.

7.2.11 Judicial Foreclosure. FSW may reduce its claims for breach of any of the Obligations to judgment and foreclose or otherwise enforce its security interest in any or all of the Collateral by any available judicial procedure. If FSW has reduced its claims for breach of any of the obligations to judgment, the Lien of any levy which may be made on any or all of the Collateral by virtue of any execution based upon such judgment shall relate back to the date of FSW’s perfection of its security interest in such Collateral. A judicial sale pursuant to such execution shall constitute a foreclosure of FSW’s security interest by judicial procedure, and FSW may purchase at such sale and thereafter hold the Collateral free of all rights of Borrower therein.

 

7.2.12 Discharge Claims. FSW may discharge claims, demands, Liens, security interests, encumbrances and taxes affecting any or all of the Collateral and take such other actions as FSW determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and FSW’s security interest therein. FSW, without releasing Borrower or any other party from any of the Obligations, may perform any of the Obligations in such manner and to such extent as FSW determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and FSW’s security interest therein.

 

7.2.13 Credit or Consignment Sales. In the event that, as a result of the disposition of any of the Collateral, FSW directly or indirectly enters into a credit transaction with any third party, FSW shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole discretion, of either reducing Borrower’s obligation the principal amount of such credit transaction or deferring the reduction thereof until receipt by FSW of cash therefore from the third party. If FSW sells any of the Collateral in a Consignment Sale, FSW shall not reduce Borrower’s obligation until it’s receipt of cash or good funds from the third party.

 

7.2.14 Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral by FSW shall be applied in the sole discretion of FSW, including but not limited to the following order of priority.

 

(i) First, to all liabilities, Obligations, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by FSW in exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of retaking, holding, and selling any or all of the Collateral and the costs and expenses of enforcing and collecting upon any or all of the Accounts;

 

(b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order and amounts as FSW may determine in its discretion;

 

(c) Third, to (i) the satisfaction of indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest in the Collateral if written demand therefore is received by FSW before distribution of any such proceeds; and (ii) to the satisfaction of any subordinate attachment lien or execution lien pursuant applicable law if notice of the levy of attachment or execution is received by FSW before distribution of any such proceeds. If requested by FSW, the holder of a subordinate security interest in the Collateral shall furnish FSW with proof of its interest in the Collateral acceptable to FSW, and unless such holder does so, FSW shall have no obligation to comply with such holder’s demand; and

 

(d) Fourth, the surplus, if any, shall be paid pursuant to the UCC.
