Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Clearday, Inc. (“Clearday” or the “Company”) entered into certain financing agreements to refinance certain of its existing indebtedness at its residential facility operating facilities on more favorable terms to repay outstanding debt and provide working capital for Clearday’s innovative care businesses. Clearday is negotiating the refinancing of some of its other debt including its mortgage on its Naples, Florida residential care facility.

 

The innovate care businesses include the development and deployment of robots in our residential care facilities as part of our Clearday Direct program. The Mitra robot and robotic applications are developed through our previously reported joint venture with Invento Research Inc. The Mitra robot has several use cases or applications that enable superior care to older Americans in their home environment and in our residential care facilities. We intend to provide the Mitra robot, through Clearday Direct, to residents at our residential care facilities, and charge additional amounts for such services, that may also include rooms that have innovative therapies such as Clearday Restore and premium furnishings. A digital stream of an example of a resident’s experience with the Mitra robot is available at our website at https://myclearday.com/robotics/. Clearday intends to continue its deployment of the Mitra robot with additional use cases or applications in its residential care facilities and to third parties.

 

MCA Naples, LLC and MCA Naples Operating Company, LLC as an additional party (“MCA”), each a subsidiary of Clearday, Inc., entered into a financing agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) on February 28, 2022 with CFG Marchant Solutions, LLC (“Financing Party 1”), to refinance its existing debt with the Financing Party 1 and obtain additional financing on more favorable terms. The financing under the Purchase Agreement funded on February 28, 2022 and provided aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $450,000, of which approximately $73,130 was used to repay existing indebtedness and approximately $9,000 paid transaction related fees. The debt that was refinanced had an original balance of $385,000 and a balance of $275,000 as of September 30, 2021, as previously reported on the Company’s quarterly report as of such date. The refinanced debt terms provide better weekly repayment amounts, 2.22% of the total debt balance compared with 3.12%, and a better advanced amount of 77% of the total debt balance compared with 71%.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement with the Financing Party 1 MCA sold to Financing Party 1 a specified percentage of its future receipts (as defined by the Purchase Agreement), which includes the future resident revenues in the Naples, Florida residential care facility owned by MCA, equal to $585,000 for $450,000 (or an advance rate of 77%), less origination and other fees of approximately $9,000. MCA agrees to repay this amount in 45 equal weekly installments, subject to the right of the Financing Party 1 to change the daily amount to more closely reflect the actual future receipts of MCA. The Financing Party 1 has specified customary collection procedures for the collection and remittance of the weekly payable amount including direct payments from a specified authorized bank account. The Purchase Agreement provides that the sale of the future receipts shall be construed and treated for all purposes as a true and complete sale and includes customary provisions granting a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in accounts and the proceeds. The Purchase Agreement also provides customary provisions including representations, warranties and covenants, indemnification, arbitration and the exercise of remedies upon a breach or default; and provides the Financing Party 1 with a Right of First Refusal for a two year term to purchase any additional future receipts of MCA or its affiliates that guaranteed the obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

 

The obligations of MCA under the Purchase Agreement are irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guaranteed by certain affiliates of MCA as additional parties to the Purchase Agreement: Memory Care American, LLC, MCA Management Company, Inc., MCA Naples Operating Company, LLC and MCA Naples Holdings, LLC; and by a Personal Guaranty of Performance by an officer of Clearday, which provides customary provisions, including representations, warranties and covenants.

 

The foregoing descriptions of Purchase Agreement and the related Personal Guaranty of Performance are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Memory Care At Good Shepherd, LLC (“MCGS”), a Clearday subsidiary, entered into an Agreement of Sale of Future Receivables (“Sale Agreement”) on March 4, 2022 with Libertas Funding LLC (Financing Party 2”) to refinance its existing debt with Financing Party 2 and obtain additional financing on more favorable terms. The financing under the Sale Agreement funded on March 4, 2022 and provided aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $450,000, of which approximately $152,078 was used to repay existing indebtedness and approximately $9,000 paid transaction related fees. The debt that was refinanced had an original balance of $737,000 and a balance of $488,408 as of September 30, 2021, as previously reported on the Company’s quarterly report as of such date. The refinanced debt terms provide a better discount factor of 1.31 compared with 1.34 , which is a better advanced amount of 76.3% of the total debt balance compared with 74.6%.

 

Under the Sale Agreement with the Financing Party 2 MCGS sold to Financing Party 2 a specified percentage of its future receipts (as defined by the Sale Agreement), which includes the future resident revenues in the Little Rock, Arkansas residential care facility owned by MCGS, equal to $589,500 for $450,000 (or an advance rate of 76.3%), less origination and other fees of approximately $9,000. MCGS agrees to repay this amount in approximately 50 equal weekly installments. The Financing Party 2 has specified customary collection procedures for the collection and remittance of the weekly payable amount including direct payments from a specified authorized bank account. The Sale Agreement provides that the sale of the future receipts shall be construed and treated for all purposes as a true and complete sale and includes customary provisions granting a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in accounts and the proceeds. The Sale Agreement also provides customary provisions including representations, warranties and covenants, indemnification, arbitration and the exercise of remedies upon a breach or default.

 

 
 

 

MCGS has the right to repay the obligations under the Sale Agreement during the initial 5 months that the obligations are outstanding, with a discount to the total financing amount based on the month of the repayment, beginning at 9.16%, and decreasing by 1.53% per month .

 

The obligations of MCGS under the Sale Agreement are irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guaranteed by the CEO of Clearday. The provisions for such guaranty include customary provisions, including representations, warranties and covenants.

 

The foregoing descriptions of Sale Agreement and the related guaranty are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

1. Sale of Future Receipts. Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, in consideration of the Purchase Price as specified in the Schedule of Purchased Receipts, the Amount Sold, by delivering the Purchased Percentage of the proceeds of each future sale made by Seller (“Future Receipts”), including amounts due from Seller’s credit card processor (hereafter “Processor”). “Future Receipts” includes all payments made by cash, check, ACH or other electronic transfer, credit card, debit card, bank card, charge card or other form of monetary payment in the ordinary course of Seller’s business.

2.Collection of Future Receipts; Collection Authorization; Collection Frequency. Buyer will be entitled to collect on a daily basis the cash attributable to the Daily Amount of the Future Receipts as specified in the Schedule of Purchased Receipts. Buyer agrees to accept the remittance of the Daily Amount in one of the following methods: (a) directly from the Processor; (b) by debiting the Seller’s bank account; or (c) by debiting a deposit account established by Seller that is approved by Buyer. Buyer may decide in its sole discretion which of the three methods it will accept for the remittance of the Daily Amount and will notify Seller in advance which method of remittances Buyer selects from time to time. Seller authorizes Buyer to select the method on a daily basis, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion. Seller understands that this authorization is a fundamental condition to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement. Buyer and Seller agree that collection frequency of the Daily Amount shall be on a weekly basis, with each weekly collection to equal 5 times the Daily Amount (representing a 5 business day week) provided, however, that upon any breach or default of this Agreement by Seller, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole option and without prior notice, may change the collection frequency to daily collection of the Daily Amount, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies Buyer may have under this Agreement, at law, or in equity.

 

a.Directly from Processor. If Buyer agrees to accept the remittance of the Daily Amount directly from the Processor, Seller agrees to enter into an agreement with Processor that authorizes Processor to deliver the Daily Amount directly to Buyer rather than to Seller. This authorization shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional. Seller hereby irrevocably grants Processor the right to hold the Daily Amount and remit to Buyer directly (at, before or after the time Processor credits or remits to Seller the balance of the Future Receipts not sold by Seller to Buyer). Seller acknowledges and agrees that Processor may provide Buyer with Seller’s Payment Device processing history, including without limitation Seller’s chargeback experience and any communications about Seller received by Processor from a card processing system. Seller acknowledges that Buyer does not have any power or authority to control the Processor’s actions with respect to the authorization, clearing, settlement and other processing of transactions and that Buyer is not responsible for the Processor’s actions. Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless for the Processor’s actions or omissions. Before 5:00 P.M. EST of the day following each day that Seller conducts business, Seller shall cause Processor or Processor’s agent to deliver to Buyer, in a format acceptable to Buyer, a record from Processor reflecting the total gross dollar amount of the preceding day’s debit and credit card transactions processed by Seller, irrespective of whether such amount consists of sales, taxes or other amounts collected by Seller from its customers (hereafter “Daily Batch Amount”). In the event that Seller is unable to procure Processor’s compliance in a timely manner or as otherwise required under this section, within two (2) business days’ written notice from Buyer to Seller of the same, Seller shall, at its sole expense, terminate its relationship with Processor and exclusively engage the services of an alternative credit card processor that Buyer approves in writing, which credit card processor shall thereafter be referred to and included within the meaning of “Processor” herein.

 

b.Debiting Seller’s Bank Account. If Buyer agrees to accept the remittance of the Daily Amount by debiting the Seller’s bank account, Seller irrevocably authorizes Buyer or its designated successor or assignee to withdraw the Daily Amount by initiating a debit via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system or any other electronic means, or any other means deemed appropriate to debit entries to Seller’s account at the bank that Seller may designate to Buyer, from time to time (hereafter “Bank Account”) or by means of a split funds or lock box arrangement with a Processor or other third party. Seller agrees to take such action, including the execution of agreements with third parties, as Buyer may require to obtain the Daily Amount by means of the methods described above. In the event that Buyer withdraws erroneously from the Bank Account, Seller authorizes Buyer to credit the Bank Account for the amount erroneously withdrawn. Buyer shall not be required to credit the Bank Account for amounts withdrawn related to credit card transactions which are subsequently reversed for any reason. Buyer, in its sole discretion, may elect to offset any such amount from collections from Future Receipts.

 

c.Debiting an Approved Account. If Buyer agrees to accept the remittance of the Daily Amount by debiting a Bank Account established by Seller that is approved by Buyer (“Approved Account”), Seller agrees to complete all necessary forms to establish the Approved Account. Seller acknowledges and agrees that any funds deposited into the Approved Account by Seller’s card processor will remain in the Approved Account until the Daily Amount is withdrawn by Buyer and then the remaining funds, minus any amount required to maintain the minimum balance for the Approved Account, will be forwarded to Seller’s Bank Account. If the Approved Account requires a minimum account balance, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, fund the required minimum balance for the Approved Account out of the Seller shall pay all fees and charges allowable under this Agreement together with all of the fees and charges set forth on the Fee Structure Addendum, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference immediately upon assessment. Buyer is not required to provide notice to Seller prior to the assessment of any of the fees and charges set forth in this Agreement or any of the fees and charges set forth in the Fee Structure Addendum. In addition, Buyer may upon prior notice to Seller change any of the fees or charges under this Agreement and/or under the Fee Structure Addendum.

 

3.Power of Attorney. Seller irrevocably appoints Buyer as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to Seller from any bank or Processor, or in the case of an occurrence of an event of Default under Section 13 hereof, to Buyer under this Agreement, including without limitation (i) to obtain and adjust insurance; (ii) to collect monies due or to become due under or in respect of any of the Amount Sold; (iii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, notes, drafts, instruments, documents or chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or clause (ii) above; (iii) to sign Seller’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, or assignment directing customers or account debtors to make payment directly to Buyer; (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding that Buyer may deem necessary for the collection of any of the undelivered Amount Sold, or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to payment of the Amount Sold. In connection therewith, all costs, expenses and fees, including legal fees, shall be payable by and from Seller and Buyer is authorized to use Seller’s funds to pay for same; and (v) Buyer shall have the right, without waiving any of its rights and remedies and without notice to Seller or any Owner/Guarantor, to notify any credit card processor of the sale of Future Receipts and redirect the remittance of daily settlements to an account of Buyer’s choosing in order to settle all obligations due to Buyer under this Agreement.

4.Seller’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Seller represents, warrants and covenants the following as of this date, and at all times during the course of this Agreement:

 

a.Seller is a business that regularly accepts payments by credit cards as a means by which its customers pay Seller for amounts due whether for goods sold, services rendered or in satisfaction of other amounts owed.

 

b.Seller shall not take any action to discourage the use of credit and/or debit cards which are settled though Processor or to permit any event to occur which could have an adverse effect on the use, acceptance or authorization of credit and or debit cards for the purchase of Seller’s services and products.

 

c.Seller shall conduct its business consistent with past practice and shall use the Purchase Price, whether the funding of such Purchase Price occurs contemporaneous with the execution of this Agreement or anytime time thereafter, solely for business purposes and none will be used for personal, household or consumer purposes.

 

d.Any and all credit card processing terminals and/or point of sale systems shall be approved by Buyer and programmed to process only through a Buyer-approved Processor.

 

e.Seller shall not change the Approved Account or credit card processor through which the major credit cards are settled from Processor to another credit card processor, cease or change its payment instruction or other arrangements with Processor or to permit any event to occur that could cause a diversion of any of Seller’s credit and/or debit card transactions to another processor without Buyer’s prior written consent. In the event that Seller changes its Buyer-approved Processor without Buyer’s written consent, Seller shall, in addition to paying any other damages suffered by Buyer, pay to Buyer the Blocked Account Fee set forth in the Fee Structure Addendum as liquidated damages, as it will be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the resulting damages suffered by Buyer.

 

f.Within two (2) business days of its receipt of the notice described in Section 2a. of this Agreement hereinabove, Seller shall at its sole expense, terminate its relationship with Processor and exclusively engage the services of an alternative credit card processor that Buyer approves in writing and enter into any Seller credit card processing agreement as the alternative credit card processor may require.

 

g.Each fact in any financial record, statement, books and records or other documents Seller has shown to Buyer, either before or after the execution of this Agreement, was true and accurate and no information has since come to Seller’s attention to materially affect same.

 

h.Seller has not entered into any other agreement for the sale of Future Receipts and/or cash advance agreement except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, shall not enter into any other future receipts and/or cash advance agreement, and has not accepted and shall not accept any other cash advance absent Buyer’s advance written consent.

 

i.Seller has not entered into any financing or factoring agreement, except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, and Seller shall not enter into any financing or factoring agreement absent Buyers advance written consent.

 

j.Seller has not granted a security interest in any of its Future Receipts to any third party except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, and Seller shall not grant a security interest in any of its Future Receipts absent Buyer’s advance written consent.

 

k.Seller shall not sell, dispose, convey or otherwise transfer its business or assets without the express prior written consent of Buyer and the assumption of all of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement by the purchaser or transferee of the business or assets pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

 

l.Seller shall furnish Buyer with the bank statements for its Bank Account and any and all other accounts to which proceeds from Seller’s sales are deposited within seven (7) days of any such request by Buyer.

 

m.Seller shall unconditionally ensure that the cash Seller receives from Processor attributable to the Daily Amount based on the collections of the Future Receipts is immediately thereafter available to Buyer for collection via ACH, Split Funds, Lock Box or any other means deemed appropriate from Seller’s Bank Account. In the event that Seller’s Bank Account does not have adequate funds available to cover the Daily Amount to be delivered to Buyer, Seller must provide timely advance notice to Buyer. If any attempted ACH debit is rejected because the account is considered to have Non-Sufficient Funds (hereafter “NSF”) then Buyer will assess the NSF Fee set forth in the Fee Structure Addendum per each occurrence, to be automatically debited from Seller’s Bank Account.

 

  _______________ ______________
CFG Merchant Solutions, LLCPage | 3Seller’s Initials Seller’s Initials

o.The Bank Account is established and used for business purposes only and not for personal, family, or household purposes.

q.Seller shall not close the Approved Account or change the bank account into which Processor deposits the Future Receipts to another account without Buyer’s prior written consent. In the event that Seller changes its Bank Account without Buyer’s prior written consent, Seller shall, in addition to paying any other damages suffered by Buyer, pay to Buyer the Blocked Account Fee as liquidated damages, as it will be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the resulting damages suffered by Buyer.

 

r.There are no pending lawsuits and/or claims against Seller.

 

s.Seller shall not conduct its businesses under any name other than as disclosed to Buyer, or change any of its places of business, or change the type of business it conducts without Buyer’s prior written consent; and Seller represents that the information it furnished Buyer in this Agreement and preceding application, including, without limitation, Seller’s processing statements, is true and accurate in all respects and fairly represents the financial condition, result of operations and cash flows of Seller at such dates, and since the dates therein, there has been no material adverse change in the business or its prospects or in the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of Seller.

 

t.Seller is not presently intending to file bankruptcy in the foreseeable future.

 

u.The person who signed this Agreement on behalf of Seller was authorized by Seller to sign this Agreement on behalf of Seller. Seller understands that: (i) the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants of Seller are a fundamental condition to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement; (ii) Buyer is relying on these representations, warranties and covenants of Seller in entering into this Agreement; and (iii) Buyer would not make any payment of any Purchase Price to Seller hereunder if any of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants were not accurate, including, without limitation, that the proceeds are or were to be used for anything other than for business purposes of the Seller in the ordinary course of Seller’s business.

 

v.Seller shall not take any action to block Buyer’s viewing access to the Bank Account. Seller must provide updated login information for the Bank Account within 24 hours of the change.

 

5.No Agency Relationship Created. Unless otherwise disclosed, Buyer is an entirely separate and independent entity from the Processor and the irrespective agents. Buyer does not have any power or authority or control over Processor’s actions with respect to the processing of Seller’s credit card transactions. Neither Processor or Buyer are the agent for the other, neither is authorized to waive or alter any term or condition of this Agreement and their representations shall in no way affect Seller’s or Buyer’s rights and obligations set forth herein.

 

6.Exclusive Use of Approved Processor. Seller understands that services of Processor are the exclusive means by which Seller may process its credit card transactions. The Processor must enter into an agreement with Buyer detailing Buyer’s priority rights to the Future Receipts. If applicable, Buyer hereby approves to act as Processor for Buyer’s benefit.

 

7.Nonrecourse Sale of Future Receipts; No Right to Repurchase; and Non-Consumer Transaction. Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price paid by Buyer in exchange for the dollar figure listed as the Amount Sold of Future Receipts as set forth in the Schedule of Purchased Receipts is for the purchase and sale of the Amount Sold of Future Receipts, is a true sale of receipts and is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as, a loan or an assignment for security from Buyer to the Seller. If the Amount Sold is never remitted because Seller’s business went bankrupt or otherwise ceased operations in the ordinary course of business, and Seller has not breached this Agreement, Seller would not owe anything to Buyer and would not be in breach of or default under this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that it has no right to repurchase the Amount Sold of Future Receipts from Buyer. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that none of the parties to or guarantor of this Agreement is a “consumer” with respect to this Agreement and underlying transaction, and neither this Agreement nor any guarantee thereof shall be construed as a consumer transaction.

 

8.Seller May Request Changes to the Daily Amount (IMPORTANT PROTECTION FOR SELLER): The initial Daily Amount is intended to represent the specified Purchased Percentage of Seller’s daily Future Receipts. For as long as no Event of Default has occurred, once each calendar month, Seller may request that Buyer adjust the Daily Amount to more closely reflect the Seller’s actual Future Receipts times the specified Purchased Percentage. Seller agrees to provide Buyer any information requested by Buyer to assist in this reconciliation. Upon reasonable verification of such information, Buyer shall adjust the Daily Amount on a going-forward basis to more closely reflect the Seller’s actual Future Receipts times the specified Purchased Percentage. Buyer will give Seller notice five business days prior to any such adjustment. After each adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph, the new dollar amount shall be deemed the Daily Amount until any subsequent adjustment.

 

  _______________ ______________
CFG Merchant Solutions, LLCPage | 4Seller’s Initials Seller’s Initials

 

 

9.Buyer May Request Changes to the Daily Amount. Any time after 90 days following an adjustment requested by the Seller, Buyer may require Seller to provide information to evaluate whether the Daily Amount should again be adjusted to more closely reflect the Seller’s actual Future Receipts times the Specified Percentage. Failure to provide such information within five (5) business days will give Buyer the right to adjust the new dollar amount to the initial Daily Amount. Seller must provide requested information, including bank statements, to Buyer in any format Buyer reasonably requests.

 

10.Right of First Refusal. Seller grants Buyer the option of first refusal to purchase any pool of additional Future Receipts that Seller may wish to sell for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, however, nothing herein shall obligate either party to sell or purchase additional pools of Future Receipts.

 

11.Updated Credit Reports. Seller and each of the Owners signing below authorize Buyer, its agents and representatives and any credit reporting agency engaged by Buyer, to (i) investigate any references given or any other statements or data obtained from or about Seller or any of its Owners for the purpose of this Agreement, (ii) obtain consumer and business credit reports on the Seller and any of its Owners, and (iii) to contact personal and business references provided by the Seller in the Application, at any time now or for so long as Seller and/or Owners continue to have any obligation owed to Buyer as a consequence of this Agreement or for Buyer’s ability to determine Seller’s eligibility to enter into any future agreement with Buyer.

 

12.Electronic Transactions Authorization. The parties agree that all business between one another shall be conducted by electronic means and adopt the provisions of the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (“ESRA”) as set forth in N.Y. STT. Law. Section 301 through §309 inclusive. Each document that is subject to or provided in furtherance of this Agreement, all documents provided in furtherance thereof, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time that a party has sent to the other by electronic means or the Seller has clicked to approve to adopt this Agreement shall be intended as and constitute an original and deemed to contain a valid signature for all purposes acknowledging and consenting to the terms of the agreement applicable thereto. In furtherance of the above, Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to regard the Seller’s printed name or electronic approval for any document, agreement, assignment schedules or invoices as the equivalent of a manual signature by one of Seller’s authorized officers or agents. Buyer may rely upon, and assume the authenticity of, any such electronic approval, and any material applicable to such approval as the duly confirmed, authorized and approved signature of the Seller by the person approving same, shall constitute an “authenticated” record for all purposes (including, without limitation, the UCC) and shall satisfy the requirements of any applicable statute of frauds. Seller is not required to agree to conduct business pursuant to ESRA and the purchase of Future Receipts in furtherance of this Agreement is not conditioned upon Seller agreeing to conduct business in accordance with the ESRA. Seller has the option to request paper copies of any electronic records upon written request to Buyer. Seller may terminate this Electronic Transactions Authorization by providing Buyer with not less than ten (10) days written notice in conformity with this Agreement.

 

13.Default. A “Default” under this Agreement shall include, but not be limited to, any of the following events: (a) Seller intentionally interferes with Buyer’s right to collect the Specified Percentage or Daily Amount; (b) the breach by Seller of any covenants, terms or conditions contained in this Agreement; (c) any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement or Seller’s application for this Agreement is incorrect, false or misleading; and (d) Seller fails to provide timely notice to Buyer such that, in any given calendar month, four or more attempts by Buyer to debit the Bank Account are rejected.

 

14.Remedies. In the event of a Default, Buyer shall be entitled to all remedies available at law and equity. The Specified Percentage shall equal 100%. In addition to all other remedies, Buyer is entitled under the Agreement and by operation of law or equity, in the event of Seller’s Default, the full uncollected Amount Sold plus all fees and charges (including legal fees) due under this Agreement will become due and payable in full immediately and Buyer may: (a) enforce the provisions of the personal guaranty of performance; (b) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and remedies by arbitration or lawsuit; or (c) automatically debit Seller’s Bank Account all money due to Buyer without notice to Seller. Neither failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of any other right. The remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or equity and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

15.Default Fee. Upon the occurrence of any payment Default hereunder, Buyer shall be entitled to charge and Seller shall pay the Default Fee set forth on the Fee Structure Addendum as liquidated damages to cover the increased costs associated with administering the Default.

 

16.Acknowledgment of Security Interest and Security Agreement. The sale of Future Receipts by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement are “accounts”, “general intangibles”, or “payment intangibles” as those terms are defined in the UCC and such sale shall constitute and shall be construed and treated for all purposes as a true and complete sale, conveying good title to the Future Receipts free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from Seller to Buyer. To the extent the Future Receipts are “accounts” or “payment intangibles” then (i) the sale of the Future Receipts creates a security interest as defined in the UCC, (ii) this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under the UCC, and (iii) Buyer has all the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such Future Receipts. Seller further agrees that, with or without an event of Default, Buyer may notify account debtors, or other persons obligated on the Future Receipts, of Seller’s sale of the Future Receipts and may instruct them to make payment or otherwise render performance to or for the benefit of Buyer.

 

17. UCC-1 Financing Statements. Seller authorizes Buyer to file one or more UCC-1 forms consistent with the UCC in order to give notice that the Amount Sold is the sole property of Buyer. The UCC filing may state that such sale is intended to be a sale and not an assignment for security and may state that the Seller is prohibited from obtaining any financing that impairs the value of the Future Receipts or Buyer’s right to collect same. Seller authorizes Buyer to debit the Account for all costs incurred by Buyer associated with the filing, amendment or termination of any UCC filings.

In no case will the Indemnitees be liable for any claims asserted against them based on any theory of law or equity for lost profits, revenues, or business opportunities; exemplary, special or consequential damages, each of which is hereby expressly waived by Seller. However, in the event that any Indemnitee shall be found liable, damages shall not, under any circumstances, exceed the Amount Sold pertaining to the Schedule(s) of Purchased Receipts for which the underlying claim(s) arise(s). The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

This Additional Seller Addendum to Purchase Agreement (“Addendum”) is entered into by and among the above referenced Parties and amends that certain Purchase Agreement between Buyer and Original Seller dated 2/28/2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

Each Additional Seller desires to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to agree to all of the terms of the Purchase Agreement, so that they will all fully apply to such Additional Seller to the same extent as if the Additional Seller had executed the Purchase Agreement itself. Therefore, each of the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Each Additional Seller is fully bound by all of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties and covenants of the Agreement. The Purchase Agreement is fully incorporated into this Addendum by reference, and binds and inures to the benefit of each of the Parties hereto, and all of their heirs, successors and assigns, the same as if such Additional Seller had signed the Purchase Agreement. All references to “Seller” in the Purchase Agreement mean individually, collectively and interchangeably the Original Seller and each Additional Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the initial Daily Amount established in the Purchase Agreement is based on the average monthly sales of the Original Seller only. By signing this Addendum and adding the Additional Sellers to the Purchase Agreement, the Parties do not intend to re-calculate the Daily Amount by including the average monthly sales of the Additional Sellers. The Parties therefore agree that the Daily Amount shall remain the same following the execution of this Addendum, subject to the Parties’ right request changes to the Daily Amount as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2. Each Additional Seller agrees to and enters into the Purchase Agreement as a Seller and hereby joins in the sale of its Future Receipts and agrees to deliver the Amount Sold to Buyer on the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The obligation of each Seller to deliver the entire Amount Sold is joint and several. Any default by a Seller under the Purchase Agreement shall constitute a default of every Seller under the Purchase Agreement. Each Seller hereby guarantees the prompt performance of the obligations of the other Sellers under the Purchase Agreement. Buyer may file suit against, or otherwise seek to collect receipt of the Amount Sold from any Seller without the necessity of Buyer first seeking to collect payment from the any other Seller or other party that may be liable for the obligations created by the Purchase Agreement.

 

3. The Original Seller has received the Purchase Price on behalf of itself and the Additional Sellers. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Sellers in such amount as they may agree upon, but each shall have an undivided interest in the entire Purchase Price. Each Additional Seller is an affiliate that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with, the Original Seller. The Additional Sellers agree that joining in the sale of the Amount Sold by signing this Addendum is in the mutually beneficial interest of all Sellers.

 

4. The Parties acknowledge that each Additional Seller may maintain separate bank accounts and each Additional Seller will take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to enable Buyer to debit such Additional Seller’s Approved Account. Each Seller agrees that Buyer may debit any or all Approved Accounts in such amounts as Buyer determines in its discretion until Buyer receives the Daily Amount. Buyer shall not be required to debit each Approved Account in any specific amount or order to obtain the Daily Amount and may, for example, debit the Approved Account of any single Seller in an amount equal to the entire Daily Amount.

5. Any notice to an Additional Seller in connection with the Purchase Agreement or this Addendum may be given to such the Original Seller on behalf of such Additional Seller in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

By their signatures below the Parties agree to be bound by this Addendum.

PRIMARY TERMS

 

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

 

In this Agreement, you are selling to us a specified amount of future payments your customers make for your goods and services, as further defined below (“Future Receipts”). We agree to buy from you (and you agree to sell to us) the amount of Future Receipts shown below (the “Amount Sold”) in exchange for the “Purchase Price” shown below. In order to deliver to us the Amount Sold, you assign to us the share of your Future Receipts (“Specified Percentage”) shown below, every week /day from the date we deliver the Purchase Price until we have received the entire Amount Sold and all fees or other amounts due under this Agreement (the “Completion Amount”).

 

We are buying Future Receipts from you, not loaning you money. You are not required to pay interest on the Purchase Price and this Agreement has no term or required payment amounts that are not subject to change based on your future revenue. Instead, your obligation is to deliver to us the Specified Percentage of your Future Receipts as they are generated in the ordinary course of your business. This means that your obligation to us aligns with your cash flow. When your Future Receipts decline because business is slow, you will be able to deliver Future Receipts to us more slowly.

 

By purchasing Future Receipts from you, we assume risks such as not obtaining the Future Receipts we bought as quickly as we anticipated, or not receiving all of them if you go out of business. However, you are not allowed to engage in “bad acts” that unfairly prevent us from receiving what we paid for. For example, unless you cease operations, you are not allowed to change the bank account in which we collect our Weekly Delivery Amounts (see below) without our approval, block our ability to collect our Weekly Delivery Amounts, sell your Future Receipts to another funding company (stacking) or close your business and start up another similar business right away. Additionally, you are representing that the information that you provided us is accurate in all material respects and that you have not omitted providing us with information that is material to your business. The details on this are below.

  I. SALE OF FUTURE RECEIPTS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE:

 

1. Sale of Future Receipts; Not a Loan. In exchange for the Purchase Price, Merchant hereby sells, assigns, transfers and conveys (hereinafter, the “Sale”) to Purchaser all of Merchant’s right, title and interest in and to the Specified Percentage of its Future Receipts until the Completion Amount is delivered to Purchaser. This Sale is made without recourse against Merchant and Guarantor except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. By virtue of this Agreement, Merchant transfers to Purchaser full and complete ownership of the Amount Sold and Merchant retains no legal or equitable interest therein. Merchant and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price is payment for the assignment and sale of the Amount Sold and that this transaction is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as, a loan from Purchaser to Merchant. Furthermore, Purchaser’s ability to collect the Amount Sold is contingent on the continued operation of Merchant’s business, and the timing of deliveries of the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts will depend on how quickly Merchant’s business generates Future Receipts.Merchant and Guarantor expressly agree not to take the position that this transaction is a loan, and they expressly waive any and all claims and defenses based on that position in any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, including without limitation claims or defenses of usury.

 

2. Payment of Purchase Price.

 

  a. Subject to the satisfactory completion of Purchaser’s due diligence (in its discretion), Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price minus the Origination Fee to Merchant promptly after the date of this Agreement, subject to Section 2(b) below.
  b. If Merchant previously sold Future Receipts to Purchaser but has not yet remitted the full Completion Amount pursuant to the prior transaction, Merchant hereby requests to repurchase the undelivered balance of the Amount Sold from that transaction and directs Purchaser to deduct the repurchase price from the Purchase Price and apply it to complete the prior transaction. Similarly, if Merchant previously obtained a loan from Purchaser and has a balance due on such loan, Merchant hereby instructs Purchaser to deduct the balance due on the prior loan from the Purchase Price and apply it to pay off the prior loan. In the event that the agreement for the prior sale of Future Receipts does not permit repurchase of any portion of the amount sold, such agreement is hereby amended to permit repurchase on the same terms as set forth in this Agreement.

  II. DELIVERY OF AMOUNT SOLD:

 

3. Method of Delivery of Amount Sold. Purchaser offers three methods by which Merchant may deliver the Specified Percentage of its Future Receipts to Purchaser: weekly ACH debits by Purchaser from Merchant’s bank account, weekly remittances from Merchant’s payment card processor, and a lockbox arrangement. Each of these methods is described below. The method to be used initially is specified on the first page of this Agreement. The method of delivery may be changed by written agreement between Purchaser and Merchant.

 

  a. Direct Debit Method.
    Under the Direct Debit Method, Merchant agrees to deposit all Future Receipts into one (and only one) bank account which shall be preapproved by Purchaser (the “Approved Bank Account”). Merchant shall execute an ACH Authorization allowing Purchaser to debit directly from the Approved Bank Account each week the weekly Delivery Amount via ACH debit, as specified below.
  b. Payment Card Split Method.
    Under the Payment Card Split Method, Merchant shall exclusively use a single Approved Card Processor (defined below) to process all payments made by credit, debit, and other payment cards for Merchant’s goods and services. Merchant shall instruct such Approved Card Processor to remit weekly to Purchaser the Specified Percentage of the Future Receipts for that week, and to remit the balance (less any fees charged by the Approved Card Processor) to Merchant.
  c. Lockbox Method.
    Under the Lockbox Method, Merchant agrees to deposit all Future Receipts into a special bank account established jointly by Purchaser and Merchant in accordance with a lockbox arrangement among Merchant, Purchaser and a banking institution chosen by Purchaser (the “Lockbox Account”), and Purchaser shall debit each week the weekly Delivery Amount from the Lockbox Account.

 

4. Direct Debit Method and Lockbox Method Provisions. The following terms apply if either the Direct Debit Method or the Lockbox Method is used, unless otherwise specified herein.

 

  a. Weekly Delivery Amount. Purchaser and Merchant agree that, for efficiency purposes, Merchant may deliver the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts each week by remitting the Weekly Delivery Amount, which Purchaser has calculated to be roughly equivalent to the Specified Percentage of Merchant’s historical revenue each week. Purchaser, Merchant, and Guarantor acknowledge that Merchant’s a ctual Future Receipts may vary each week or from Merchant’s historical revenue, but they agree that the Weekly Delivery Amount is a fair and reasonable estimate of the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts. The Weekly Delivery Amount may be adjusted as set forth in Section 11. Merchant also has the right to reconcile any difference between the Weekly Delivery Amounts received in a given four-week period and the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts actually generated during that four-week period, as set forth in Sections 10 and 11.

 

At any time during the term of this Agreement, Purchaser may change the method by which it will accept the Weekly Delivery by providing Merchant with written instructions of a new method of delivery of Weekly Delivery to Purchaser.

 

5. Timing of Weekly Deliveries. Merchant hereby authorizes Purchaser to debit the Weekly Delivery Amount from the Approved Bank Account or the Lockbox Account, as applicable, via ACH or electronic checks once each week on the same day of the week as the Commencement Date. If a debit is scheduled to occur on a bank holiday, the debit shall be made on the following Business Day. Debits of the Weekly Delivery Amount shall commence on a date selected by Purchaser which shall be no later than 15 days following the Commencement Date. Weekly deliveries shall continue until Purchaser has received the Completion Amount, unless Merchant files for bankruptcy and/or goes out of business in the ordinary course, without first committing a Bad Act (as defined below). In the event that the final weekly delivery results in Purchaser receiving more than Amount Sold (not including fees), Purchaser shall refund any amount in excess of the Amount Sold (not including fees) within 5 business days of the final weekly delivery.

 

6. Approved Bank Account. If the Direct Debit Method is used, and for the purpose of allowing Purchaser to debit any fees due under this Agreement if the Payment Card Split Method is used, Merchant designates the bank account below as the Approved Bank Account, subject to approval by Purchaser. Merchant agrees to designate a different bank account acceptable to Purchaser if Purchaser does not approve the account designated below. In the event the Approved Bank Account becomes unavailable or Purchaser requests that a different bank account be used for any reason (such as difficulties debiting the Weekly Delivery Amount from such bank account), Merchant shall arrange for another Approved Bank Account immediately, and in no event later than five calendar days after the prior account becomes unavailable or Purchaser requests the designation of a new Approved Bank Account. If any weekly delivery (or multiple weekly deliveries) required under the Direct Debit Method does not occur due to a change in the Approved Bank Account, Purchaser may debit the missed weekly deliveries together with the next weekly delivery. Account Number: 1110251152 Routing Number: 062006505

 

7. Lockbox Account.If the Lockbox Method is used, Merchant hereby authorizes Purchaser to initiate a lockbox arrangement and to instruct Merchant’s Approved Card Processor and Merchant’s invoiced customers/clients/vendees to deposit all sums due to Merchant from each of those parties directly to the Lockbox Account. If required, Merchant shall enter into a lockbox agreement with Purchaser and the banking institution chosen by Purchaser, and complete any additional paperwork, for the purpose of establishing the Lockbox Account.

 

8. Third Party Appointment and Authorization. By signing below, Merchant acknowledges that Purchaser may, at any time, at Purchaser’s sole discretion, and without prior notice, appoint a third party, which may be an affiliate of Purchaser, including, without limitation, Kinetic Direct Funding, LLC (such third party being the “Servicing Agent”) to perform any or all of the actions authorized by the ACH Authorization and the Agreement. Merchant further agrees and acknowledges that Servicing Agent shall have all of the same rights, responsibilities, and authorizations granted to Purchaser by the ACH Authorization and the Agreement. For purposes of clarity, any Servicing Agent may perform any and all activities to service the Agreement, including the collection of Future Receipts (as set forth above) and fees, as if it was the Purchaser.

 

9. Fees Associated with Weekly Deliveries. It shall be Merchant’s exclusive responsibility to pay to its banking institution and/or Purchaser’s banking institution directly (or to compensate Purchaser if it is charged) all fees, charges and expenses incurred by either Merchant or Purchaser due to rejected electronic checks or ACH debit attempts, overdrafts or rejections by Merchant’s banking institution of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10. Merchant’s Right to Reconciliation of Weekly Deliveries.

 

  a. Merchant shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion but subject to the provisions of Section 11 below, to request retroactive reconciliation of any difference between the Weekly Delivery Amounts received by Purchaser through the four weekly deliveries immediately preceding the day when such request for reconciliation is received by Purchaser (each such four-week period, a “Reconciliation Month”) and the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts actually generated during that Reconciliation Month.
  b. Purchaser will perform each timely requested reconciliation (each, a “Reconciliation”) within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the Merchant’s request for reconciliation by either crediting or debiting the difference back to or from the Approved Bank Account or the Lockbox Account, as applicable, so that the total amount debited by Purchaser from the Approved Bank Account or the Lockbox Account (as applicable) during the Reconciliation Month at issue is equal to the Specified Percentage of the Future Receipts that Merchant actually collected during the Reconciliation Month at issue.

 

III.Request for Reconciliation Procedure.

 

11. Merchant’s Right for Reconciliation of Weekly Deliveries.

 

  a. It shall be Merchant’s sole responsibility and right hereunder to initiate Reconciliation of Merchant’s actual Future Receipts during any Reconciliation Month by sending a request for reconciliation to Purchaser.
  b. Any such request for Reconciliation of Merchant’s Weekly receipts for a specific Reconciliation Month shall be in writing, shall include a copy of Merchant’s bank statement(s) and credit card processing statement(s) for the Reconciliation Month at issue, and must be received by Purchaser via email at customer.service@libertasfunding.com within five (5) Business Days after the last day of the Reconciliation Month at issue (time being of the essence). Any request for Reconciliation received after this deadline will not be honored.
  c. Merchant shall have the right to request Reconciliation as many times during the term of this Agreement as it deems proper, and Purchaser shall comply with such request, provided that:

 

  i. Each such request is made in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.
  ii. If a request for Reconciliation is timely made after Purchaser has received the Completion Amount, and the Reconciliation results in part of the Completion Amount being refunded to Merchant, then Purchaser shall continue to receive weekly deliveries until it receives the Completion Amount.
  iii. If Purchaser becomes aware that it has received funds that it is not entitled to, then Purchaser shall return those funds to the Merchant without request by the Merchant for reconciliation as set forth above.

 

d.Unless Purchaser has received the Completion Amount, Purchaser is entitled to continue receiving weekly deliveries whether or not Merchant has made a request for Reconciliation. Merchant agrees not to take any action to interfere with weekly deliveries based on the pendency of a request for Reconciliation.

 

12. Adjustment of Weekly Delivery Amount.

 

  a. If a Reconciliation is performed that results in a refund to the Merchant of at least 20% of the aggregate Weekly Delivery Amounts received by Purchaser during the applicable Reconciliation Month, Merchant shall have the option to request, subject to the requirements of Section 13 below, modification (“Adjustment”) of the Weekly Delivery Amount on a going-forward basis. Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion may allow a temporary Adjustment upon Merchant’s proof of circumstances warranting such Adjustment, such as a natural disaster requiring temporary closure of Merchant’s business. After an Adjustment is granted, the adjusted Weekly Delivery Amount shall replace and supersede the amount of the Weekly Delivery Amount set forth in the preamble of this Agreement and future weekly deliveries shall be made in the adjusted amount. All Adjustments made in accordance with this section or other sections of this Agreement, shall be effective for one-month, after which time, the Merchant must provide Purchaser with its bank statements each month to allow Purchaser to re-evaluate the Merchant’s information to determine whether a continued Adjustment is warranted.
  b. The Adjustment of the Weekly Delivery Amount shall be performed by Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the Merchant’s request for Adjustment.

 

13. Request for Adjustment Procedure.

  b. A request for Adjustment (an “Adjustment Request”) shall be in writing, shall include copies of: (i) Merchant’s three (3) consecutive bank statements for the Approved Bank Account or Lockbox Account, as applicable, immediately preceding the date of Purchaser’s receipt of the Adjustment Request; (ii) Merchant’s three (3) consecutive payment card processing statements immediately preceding the date of Purchaser’s receipt of the Adjustment Request; and/or (iii) Merchant’s bank statements and payment card processing statements previously provided by Merchant to Purchaser when applying to sell Future Receipts to Purchaser, or when applying for the most recent Adjustment that was made, if applicable. The Adjustment Request shall be sent by email to Purchaser at customer.service@libertasfunding.com within five (5) Business Days after the date that is the later of the last day for which activity is shown on the latest bank statement enclosed with the Adjustment Request and the last day for which activity is shown on the latest card processing statement enclosed with the Adjustment Request (time being of the essence). Any Adjustment Request received after this deadline will not be honored.

IV.Payment Card Split Method Provisions. The following terms (see Sections 14-16) apply if the Payment Cared Split Method is used, unless otherwise specified herein.

 

14. Approved Card Processor. Merchant agrees to enter into a payment card processing agreement with a payment card processor approved by Purchaser (the “Approved Card Processor”) in order to obtain card processing services for credit cards, charge cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, or other payment cards used to purchase Merchant’s goods and/or services. If Merchant has entered into a payment card processing agreement before the date of this Agreement, Merchant may request that Purchaser review such agreement and any other information it deems pertinent for approval of the existing payment card processor in the sole and absolute discretion of Purchaser. Merchant agrees to process all of its payment card transactions through the Approved Card Processor, and not to switch to a different payment card processor or use an additional payment card processor without Purchaser’s express written consent. If Purchaser permits Merchant to use a different payment card processor, the new processor shall become the Approved Card Processor. In the event the Approved Card Processor becomes unavailable or Purchaser requests that a different payment card processor be used for any reason (such as the Approved Card Processor failing to timely deliver the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts to Purchaser on a consistent basis), Merchant shall arrange for another Approved Card Processor immediately, and in no event later than five calendar days after the Approved Card Processor becomes unavailable or Purchaser requests the designation of a new Approved Card Processor.

 

15. Processing Arrangement. Merchant hereby authorizes and directs the Approved Card Processor, and any other processor, acquirer, service provider, or financial institution taking custody of, holding, possessing, or issuing payment instructions with respect to Future Receipts (together, the “Receipts Custodians”) to deliver the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts on each Business Day (the “Weekly Amount”) to Purchaser rather than Merchant until Purchaser has received the Completion Amount, or, in the event that Purchaser declares the entire Completion Amount to be deliverable based on a breach of this Agreement, to deliver this amount. On days when banks are not open, the Specified Percentage will be delivered to Purchaser on the next banking day. For example, the Specified Percentage for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be delivered on the following Monday (or Tuesday if Monday is a bank holiday). Merchant acknowledges that the Approved Card Processor will be acting on behalf of Purchaser to collect the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts. Merchant agrees that the Future Receipts sold under this Agreement are Purchaser’s property. Purchaser shall have no obligation to refund or return the Amount Sold or any portion thereof to Merchant in the event that the Approved Card Processor or any other Receipts Custodian initiates a refund, credit, reversal, or chargeback of a transaction subject to this Agreement, as such adjustments typically are netted against future card volume. Merchant agrees that when a Receipts Custodian takes custody of, holds, possesses, or issues payment instructions with respect to Future Receipts, it does so in trust for Purchaser. If there has not been a default, a Receipts Custodian will not deliver any particular day’s Weekly Amount to us if that Weekly Amount has already been delivered to us by another Receipts Custodian. Merchant agrees that it does not have the right to revoke or otherwise seek to override the authorization and direction set forth in this section and that this authorization may only be revoked by Purchaser. You agree that a Receipts Custodian may rely on any instructions issued by us with respect to the delivery of the Future Receipts, including an instruction to deliver all Future Receipts to us in the event we declare the Completion Amount to be deliverable based on a breach of this Agreement.

Merchant has a continuing, affirmative obligation to advise Purchaser of any material adverse change in its financial condition, operation, or ownership. Purchaser may request statements at any time during the term of this Agreement and Merchant shall provide them to Purchaser within Five (5) Business Days. Merchant’s failure to do so is a material breach of this Agreement.
  c. Read Only Access to the Approved Bank Account and Approved Card Account. Merchant hereby agrees that, until Purchaser has received the Completion Amount, Purchaser shall have the right to perform ongoing read-only electronic monitoring of transactions occurring in the Approved Bank Account and Merchant’s account with the Approved Card Processor (the “Approved Card Account”).

  f. Authorization. Merchant represents and warrants that it has all requisite power to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder; entering into this Agreement will not result in breach or violation of, or default under, any agreement or instrument by which Merchant is bound or any statute, rule, regulation, order, or other law to which Merchant is subject, nor require the obtaining of any consent, approval, permit or license from any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Merchant. All organizational and other proceedings required to be taken by Merchant to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been taken.

Merchant agrees that, until Purchaser receives the Completion Amount, Merchant will not voluntarily close its business on a permanent or temporary basis for renovations, repairs, or any other purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merchant shall have the right to close its business temporarily if such closing is necessitated by a requirement to conduct renovations or repairs imposed upon Merchant’s business by legal authorities having jurisdiction over Merchant’s business (such as from a health department or fire department) or if such closing is necessitated by circumstances outside Merchant’s reasonable control. Prior to any such temporary closure of its business, Merchant shall provide Purchaser ten (10) Business Days’ advance notice, or as much notice as reasonably possible under the circumstances.

As of the date of Merchant’s execution of this Agreement, Merchant is not insolvent, has not filed, and does not contemplate filing, any petition for bankruptcy protection under Title 11 of the United States Code, and there has been no involuntary bankruptcy petition brought or threatened against Merchant. Merchant represents that it has not consulted with a bankruptcy attorney on the issue of filing bankruptcy within the six-month period immediately preceding the date of this Agreement.

VI.PLEDGE OF SECURITY:

 

17. Acknowledgment of Security Interest and Security Agreement. The Future Receipts sold by Merchant to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are “accounts” or “payment intangibles” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the state in which Merchant is located (the “UCC”). Such Sale shall constitute and shall be construed and treated for all purposes as a true and complete sale, conveying good title to the Future Receipts free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from Merchant to Purchaser. To the extent the Future Receipts are “accounts” or “payment intangibles” then (i) the sale of the Future Receipts creates a security interest as defined in the UCC; (ii) this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under the UCC; and (iii) Purchaser has all the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such Future Receipts. Merchant further agrees that, with or without an Event of Default, Purchaser may notify account debtors, or other persons obligated on the Future Receipts, on holding the Future Receipts of Merchant’s sale of the Future Receipts and may instruct them to make payment or otherwise render performance to or for the benefit of Purchaser.

 

18. Financing Statements. Merchant authorizes Purchaser to file one or more UCC-1 forms consistent with the UCC to give notice that the Amount Sold is the sole property of Purchaser. The UCC filing may state that such sale is intended to be a sale and not an assignment for security and may state that Merchant is prohibited from obtaining any financing that impairs the value of the Amount Sold or Purchaser’s ability to collect same. Merchant authorizes Purchaser to debit the Approved Bank Account or Lockbox Account, as applicable, for all costs incurred by Purchaser associated with the filing, amendment or termination of any UCC filings.

 

19. Security. You understand that we have the right to take delivery of the Future Receipts we purchased as they are generated in the ordinary course of your business. The Security Interest granted in this section is being given solely for the purpose of ensuring that you do not take any action to deprive us of that right. This Security Interest does not mean that we have made a loan to you, does not create a debt, and does not make you a debtor or us a creditor. As security for the prompt and complete performance of any and all obligations, covenants, and agreements of Merchant under this Agreement, now or hereafter arising from, out of, or relating to this Agreement, whether direct, indirect, contingent or otherwise (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Merchant Obligations”), Merchant hereby pledges, assigns and hypothecates to Purchaser and grants to Purchaser a continuing, perfected and first priority lien upon and security interest in, to and under all of Merchant’s right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Collateral”), whether now existing or hereafter from time to time acquired:

 

  a. all accounts, including without limitation, all deposit accounts, accounts-receivable, and other receivables, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments, and inventory, as those terms are defined by Article 9 of the UCC, now or hereafter owned or acquired by Merchant; and
  b. all Merchant’s proceeds, as that term is defined by Article 9 of the UCC.

 

20. Termination of Pledge. Upon the performance by Merchant in full of the Merchant Obligations, the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge shall automatically terminate without any further act of either party being required, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Merchant. Upon any such termination, Purchaser will execute, acknowledge (where applicable) and deliver such satisfactions, releases and termination statements, as Merchant shall reasonably request.

 

21. Representations with Respect to Collateral. Merchant hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that: the execution, delivery and performance by Merchant of this Pledge, and the remedies in respect of the Collateral under this Pledge (i) have been duly authorized; (ii) do not require the approval of any governmental authority or other third party or require any action of, or filing with, any governmental authority or other third party to authorize same (other than the filing of the UCC-1s); (iii) do not and shall not (A) violate or result in the breach of any provision of law or regulation, any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority, or (B) violate, result in the breach of or constitute a default under or conflict with any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or any other instrument to which Merchant is a party or by which any of Merchant’s assets (including, without limitation, the Collateral) are bound.

 

22. Further Assurances. Upon the request of Purchaser, Merchant at its sole cost and expense, shall execute and deliver all such further UCC-1s, continuation statements, assurances and assignments of the Collateral, and consents with respect to the pledge of the Collateral and the execution of this Pledge, and shall execute and deliver such further instruments, agreements and other documents and do such further acts and things, as Purchaser may request in order to more fully effectuate the purposes of this Pledge and the assignment of the Collateral and obtain the full benefits of this Pledge and the rights and powers herein created.

 

23. Attorney-in-fact. Merchant hereby authorizes Purchaser at any time to take any action and to execute any instrument, including without limitation to file one or more financing statements and/or continuation statements, to evidence and perfect the security interest created hereby and irrevocably appoints Purchaser as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Merchant and in the name of Merchant or otherwise, from time to time, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, including without limitation (a) for the purpose of executing such statements in the name of and on behalf of Merchant, and thereafter filing any such financing and/or continuation statements and (b) to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to Merchant.

VII.EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES:

 

24. Events of Default by Merchant. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an ” Event of Default” by Merchant:

  b. Bad Acts. If you commit any of the following acts (“Bad Acts”) without our prior written consent before we receive the Completion Amount, you will be in default:

  xiii. you disconnect or interfere with the operation of Purchaser’s bank monitoring software; or
  xiv. you commit any act or omission specified in this Agreement to be a material breach. However, we will not consider any of these acts to be Bad Acts if they occur because you go out of business in the ordinary course. These Bad Acts are prohibited solely to protect our ability to collect the Amount Sold and receive the benefit of our bargain. They do not create any obligation for Merchant to deliver Future Receipts to Purchaser if they are simply not generated by Merchant’s business.

 

  c. Other Breaches. If you commit an act that is not a Bad Act but that otherwise violates a term or covenant in this Agreement (an “Other Breach”), you will be in default.

If you commit an Other Breach, you will be liable to us for all damages resulting from the Other Breach, including, but not limited to, our reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs incurred in any proceeding pursued against you to recover the amounts due us under this Agreement. You agree to pay us the amounts due or we may (d) withdraw such amounts from the Approved Bank Account or Lockbox Account, as applicable, or any other account into which you deposit Future Receipts, via ACH or electronic checks; (e) direct the Approved Card Processor, any other Receipts Custodian, and/or any other payment card processor you use in violation of this Agreement to deliver all of your Future Receipts to us until we have received the amount due; (f) enforce our rights as a secured creditor under the UCC including, without limitation, notifying any of your account debtor(s) of our security interest; (g) enforce Guarantor’s personal guaranty of performance provisions of this Agreement against the Guarantor(s) without first seeking recourse from Merchant; (h) commence a suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the specific performance of any covenant, agreement or other provision contained herein, or to enforce the discharge of Merch ant’s and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or any other legal or equitable right or remedy including without limitation Purchaser’s rights of a secured party under the UCC. All rights available to us are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies available to us in law or equity.
