Gentlemen:
We hereby request that you act as our sole factor, effective as of the date of
your acceptance hereof, upon the terms and conditions set forth below:*
*THIS AGREEMENT AMENDS AND RESTATES IN ITS ENTIRETY THE PRIOR FACTORING
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES (THE "PRIOR FACTORING AGREEMENT") EFFECTIVE AS OF
JULY 1, 1995 (THE "AMENDMENT DATE"). RECEIVABLES ASSIGNED TO YOU PRIOR TO THE
AMENDMENT DATE SHALL CONTINUE TO BE GOVERNED BY THE PRIOR FACTORING AGREEMENT,
AND RECEIVABLES ASSIGNED TO YOU ON OR AFTER THE AMENDMENT DATE SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY THIS AGREEMENT.
1.A. We agree that we will do all our business through you as our sole
factor and hereby assign and sell to you as absolute owner all Receivables. As
used herein, the term "Receivables" shall mean and include all accounts*, and
all other obligations of customers of ours arising out of the sale and delivery
of goods by us or the rendition of services by us, whether now existing or
hereafter created. We represent and warrant that each and every Receivable now
or hereafter assigned to you will be a bona fide and existing obligation of a
customer of ours, owned by and owing to us, arising our of the sale and delivery
of goods by us or the rendition by us of services as aforesaid, free and clear
of any and all deductions, Disputes (as defined in paragraph 8. below), liens,
security interests and encumbrances.
B. You agree to (i) purchase and hereby do purchase, without recourse
to us except as set forth hereinafter, all Receivables approved by you in
accordance with paragraph 2. below and which are promptly assigned to you, and
(ii) assume the risk of non-payment on such Receivables, which non-payment is
due solely to the financial inability of our customer, whose credit standing you
will have approved in advance in accordance with paragraph 2. below, to make
payment in accordance with the terms of the invoice provided the customer has,
prior to the expiration of the payment terms of the invoice, and thereafter
received and finally accepted the merchandise or services giving rise to such
Receivables without any Dispute.
C. Receivables not covered by the provisions of paragraph 1.B. above,
in whole or in part, shall be assigned to, and purchased by you with full
recourse to us in the event of non-payment thereof or in the event of a Dispute.
D. In addition, we hereby sell, assign and transfer to you all of our
right, title and interest in and to the merchandise the sale of which resulted
in creation of Receivables and in all such merchandise that may be returned by
customers and all causes of action and rights in connection therewith which we
now have or may hereafter acquire including our rights of reclamation, replevin
and stoppage in transit and as an unpaid vendor of merchandise or services as a
lienor. We hereby agree upon your instruction to promptly take any and all
action necessary for you to enforce your rights of reclamation, replevin and
stoppage in transit and in the event of our failure to do so, you shall be
authorized to exercise any such right in our name or in any manner you deem
appropriate. Any merchandise so recovered shall be treated as returned
merchandise, and shall be set aside, marked with your name and held for your
account. We shall notify you promptly of all such returned merchandise.
2. No purchase of any Receivable by you shall be deemed to be made
pursuant to paragraph 1.B. above unless the sale of merchandise or rendition of
services by us resulting in such Receivable shall have been made with your prior
written approval of the amount and terms of such sale or rendition of services
and the credit standing of our customer, and you shall have the right to
withdraw such approval at any time before actual delivery of such merchandise or
rendition of such services. You shall not be liable in any manner or respect for
refusing to accept or approve any Receivable or the credit standing of any
customer of ours or for withdrawing any approval as provided in the preceding
sentence.
3. On the face of all bills and invoices for all Receivables assigned
to and purchased by you hereunder shall be placed the following legend: "This
Receivable is assigned to, owned by and payable only to: REPUBLIC CORP. AT X.X.
XXX 0000, X0000, XXXXXXXXXXXX, XX. 00000 OR DEPT. 49941, XXX XXXXXXX, XX. 00000,
whichever is nearer. Any objection to this invoice must be reported to Republic
Factors Corp. at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000.
4.A. The "Purchase Price of Receivables" shall be the net amount of
Receivables less the amount of your commission described in paragraph 6. below.
As used herein "net amount" of Receivables shall mean the gross amount of said
Receivables less returns, discounts (based upon shortest or longest payment
terms, as you may elect), credits or allowances of any nature at any time
issued, owing, claimed by customers, granted or outstanding.
B. Discounts to customers, at your option, may be calculated on any
of the stated terms. The Purchase Price of Receivables shall be payable to us on
the Collection Date. For the purpose hereof, the term "Collection Date" shall
mean the earlier of (a) 7 business days after receipt by you of payment of the
Receivables or (b) 120 days after the due date of the Receivable in question,
provided that no Dispute has been raised with respect to such Receivable, and
provided that such Receivable has been credit approved by you, ("Deems Paid
Provision"). Moreover, Receivables created under paragraph 1.C. shall not be
subject to the Deems Paid Provision.
C. You may, in your sole discretion, make advances to us from time to
time at our request. In your sole discretion you shall withhold a reserve
against the Purchase Price of Receivables, and you may revise such reserve from
time to time, as a protection to you against all possible returns, claims,
allowances, expenses, indebtedness owing by us to you or any other
contingencies.
D. As security for any and all "Obligations" (as defined below), you
shall be entitled to hold and we hereby grant to you a continuing general lien
upon, security interest in and to, and right of set off on or against any of the
following (collectively, the "Collateral"): All Receivables whether or not
specifically assigned to you and all of our reserves and all of our present and
future instruments, documents, contract rights, notes, bills, chattel paper, all
other forms of obligations owing to us, all general intangibles (including
without limitation all tax refunds, proceeds of insurance, bank and other
deposit accounts, trade names, trademarks, trade secrets, customer lists, and
all other licenses, rights, privileges and franchises), all balances, sums and
other property at any time to our credit or in your possession or in the
possession of any of your Affiliates (as defined in paragraph 11. below),
together with all merchandise the sale of which resulted in the creation of
Receivables and in all such merchandise that may be returned by customers and
all books and records relating to any of the foregoing. We represent and warrant
to you that we now have, and shall at all times continue to have, good and
marketable title to all of the Collateral, free and clear of any and all liens,
security interests and encumbrances. As used herein, the term "Obligations"
means and includes all loans, advances, indebtedness, liabilities, debit
balances, covenants and duties and all other obligations of whatever kind or
nature at any time or from time to time owing by us to you or any of your
Affiliates, whether fixed or contingent, no matter how or when arising and
whether under this or any other agreement or otherwise and including all
obligations for purchases made by us from any other concern factored by you. You
shall have the right and are hereby irrevocably authorized to charge to our
account the amounts of any and all Obligations and, upon the demand of any of
your Affiliates or clients, to pay over to such Affiliate or clients any amounts
owing to them by us. We shall execute and deliver to you all financing
statements and other documents and instruments that you may request to perfect,
protect or establish your security interest hereunder and we authorize you to
execute and file any financing statements covering such security interest
without our signature or, if you so elect, signed in our name by you, and you
are hereby irrevocably appointed our attorney-in-fact to do so. You shall be
entitled to charge our account with all costs and expenses incurred by you in
connection with the preparation, execution, administration and enforcement of
this Agreement, or to enforce any of the Obligations, or in the prosecution or
defense of any action, involving you or us, concerning any matter growing out of
or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Receivables or other Collateral
or any Obligation whatsoever including, without limitation, all reasonable fees
and expenses of your attorneys, and all fees and costs in connection with public
record searches and filings, accounting fees, investigation fees, periodic field
examination fees and expenses and all other costs and expenses with respect
thereto, whether or not a legal action is commenced by or against us, and if
such action is commenced, whether or not judgment is obtained. Moreover, you
shall similarly be entitled to such attorneys' fees in the event of any state
court insolvency proceeding or federal bankruptcy proceeding. Recourse to
security or any Collateral shall not at any time be required and we shall at all
times remain liable for the repayment on demand to you of all loans and advances
to or for our account and of all other Obligations at any time or from time to
time owing to you or any of your Affiliates.
5.A. Interest on all sums advanced and charged to us or to or for our
account shall be calculated on the daily balance of all monies remitted, paid or
otherwise advanced to us by you or for our account including all fees and
commissions net of all payments received by you from us including the Purchase
Price of Receivables purchased by you hereunder and which is credited to our
account on the Collection Date.
B. All interest charges to our account shall be at 2-1/2% above the
reference rate of Republic National Bank of New York ("Republic Reference
Rate"), computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days
elapsed and charged to our account at the end of each month. The term "Republic
Reference Rate" shall mean the lending rate announced by Republic National Bank
of New York from time to time as its reference rate. The interest rate in effect
during each calendar month shall be based on the Republic Reference Rate in
effect on the last business day of the preceding calendar month.
C. You will send us a monthly statement of account after the end of
each month. Unless you receive our written exceptions to any monthly accounting
rendered by you within thirty (30) days after such accounting is rendered, such
monthly accounting shall constitute an account stated and be deemed accepted by
us and shall be conclusive and binding upon us.
D. If funds remain with you past the Collection Date which creates a
balance in our favor in our account with you ("Matured Funds"), you shall pay us
interest on such Matured Funds at a rate per annum equal to 3% below the
Republic Reference Rate.
6.A. As compensation for your services as factor hereunder, we agree
to pay to you a factoring commission equal to 1-1/2% of the amount of each xxxx
or invoice less discounts granted to the customer. Your factoring commission as
so calculated shall be charged to our account as of the fifteenth day of the
month in which the Receivable was created.
B. Commissions payable to you hereunder are based upon our usual and
regular terms which do not exceed ninety (90) days. On all Receivables on which
additional terms or dating are granted, your commissions thereon shall be
increased at the rate of twenty-five percent (25%) of the basic commission rate
for each additional thirty (30) days or fraction thereof by which our regular
terms are increased. No such increase in terms or dating, however, shall be
granted without your prior written approval. A minimum factoring commission on
each invoice shall be $4.50. In addition to the foregoing, we shall pay to you
an annual minimum factoring commission for each consecutive twelve month period
hereafter (each such period is hereinafter called the "Contract Year"), in the
amount of $25,000.00 (the "Minimum Factoring Commission"), irrespective of the
actual aggregate face amount of bills or invoices factored by us in each
Contract Year pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each month you shall
charge our account with the greater of (i) $2,083.33 ("Minimum Monthly
Commission"), or (ii) the amount of the factoring commission at the rate
provided for herein based upon the actual aggregate face amount of all bills or
invoices, less discounts, factored by you in each such month (the "Contract
Commission"). If at the end of any Contract Year the aggregate factoring
commissions actually charged to our account for that Contract Year (the "Charged
Commissions") is greater than the Minimum Factoring Commission, and in any month
we were charged the Minimum Monthly Commission rather than the Contract
Commission for that month, then you will refund to us the amount by which the
Minimum Monthly Commission in that month exceeded the Contract Commission, but
in no event, taking into account all such refunds, will the aggregate factoring
commissions for the Contract Year be reduced below the Minimum Factoring
Commission. The refund shall be made by credit to our account. We will issue
credits only with your prior written approval and credits may be claimed only by
the customer. Such credits shall be issued only for full invoice amounts.
7. We will provide you with an assignment and schedule of Receivables
sold and assigned to you in form satisfactory to you. All invoices shall be
mailed by us to our customers at our sole expense. We will give you copies of
all invoices, together with such proof of shipment or delivery as you may from
time to time require. The issuance of or any billing by us of such invoices,
shall constitute an assignment thereof to you for the Receivables represented
thereby, whether or not we execute any other specific instrument of assignment.
8. We hereby further warrant to you that the customer in each instance
has received and will accept the merchandise sold or the services rendered and
the invoice therefor, and will pay the same as and when due without any Dispute.
As used herein, the term "Dispute" shall mean and include any dispute, claim,
offset, defense or counterclaim, regardless of whether the same is in an amount
greater than, equal to or less than the Receivables concerned, whether bona fide
or not, and regardless of whether the same, in part or in whole, relates to
unpaid Receivables or other Receivables, and whether or not such Dispute arises
by reason of an Act of God, civil strife, war, currency restrictions, foreign
political restrictions or regulations, or the like. We will notify you promptly
of, and, at our own cost and expense, including attorneys' fees, shall settle
all Disputes and will pay you promptly the amount of the Receivables affected
thereby. Any Dispute not settled by us by the sixtieth (60th) day next following
the maturity of the invoice affected thereby may, if you so elect, be settled,
compromised, adjusted or litigated by you directly with the customer or other
complainant for our account and risk and upon such terms and conditions as you
in your sole discretion deem advisable. You may also in your discretion take
possession of and sell or cause the sale of any returned or recovered
merchandise, at such prices, upon such terms and to such purchasers as you deem
proper (including, in the event of any public sale, yourself) and in any event
to charge the deficiency costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys' fees,
to us. In addition to all other rights to which you are entitled hereunder,
whenever there is any Dispute, or if any unapproved Receivable is unpaid at its
maturity, you may reduce the amount of our Receivables balance (and charge our
loan account if you have previously paid us the purchase price) by the amount of
the Receivables so affected or unpaid (as well as all other Receivables due and
owing from that customer) at any time (a "Chargeback"). Such Chargeback shall
not be deemed nor shall it constitute a reassignment to us of the Receivable
affected thereby, and title hereto and to the merchandise represented thereby
shall remain in you until you are fully reimbursed. Regardless of the date or
dates upon which you charge back the amount of any Receivable with respect to
which there is any Dispute, or the amount owing from a customer which has raised
any Dispute, we agree that immediately upon the occurrence of any such Dispute,
any obligation you may otherwise have had hereunder to bear the risk of loss
with respect to such Receivable shall cease and such obligation shall
immediately revert to and be assumed by us without any act upon your part to
effect the same.
9.A. If any remittances are made directly to us, we shall hold the
same in trust for you as your property and immediately deliver to you the
identical checks, monies or other forms of payment received, and you shall have
the right to endorse our name on any and all checks or other forms of
remittances received if such endorsement is necessary to effect collection. We
agree that we will hold at our offices and be fully responsible to you for any
and all shipping receipts evidencing delivery of goods regarding Receivables
factored by you. Such shipping evidences held by us shall be available for your
inspection and for delivery to you at your request at any time.
B. We further agree to make our records, files and books of account,
including, but not limited to, any and all invoices, shipping or transport
documents, ledgers, journals, checkbooks, correspondence, memoranda, copies of
correspondence and memoranda, microfilm, microfiche, computer programs and
records, source materials, tapes and discs (collectively "Documents"), available
to you on request and that you may visit our premises during normal business
hours to examine such Documents and to make copies or extracts thereof and to
conduct such examinations as you deem necessary.
10. Any state, city, local or federal sales or excise taxes on sales
of Receivables hereunder and any payroll taxes, state disability premiums,
premiums for xxxxxxx'x compensation insurance and unemployment taxes shall be
timely paid by us, but if you should make any payment of any thereof, we will
repay the same to you upon demand.
11. As used herein, an "Affiliate" shall mean and include any person,
firm or corporation controlling, controlled by or in common control with you
and/or any subsidiary or parent corporation of yours.
12. We hereby warrant our solvency and hereby agree that we are not
entitled to and shall not pledge your credit for any purpose whatsoever. This
Agreement is the complete agreement between the parties hereto and is entered
into for the benefit of said parties, their successors and assigns, and cannot
be changed, modified or terminated orally except that we shall not assign or
hypothecate our rights under this Agreement to any other person, firm,
corporation or entity without your prior written consent. No delay or failure on
your part in exercising any right, privilege or option hereunder shall operate
as a waiver of such or of any other right, privilege or option, and no waiver
whatever shall be valid unless in writing signed by you and then only to the
extent a waiver is therein set forth. This Agreement is made in the State of
California and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
said State.
13.A. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until one
year from the date this Agreement is signed and accepted by you and from year to
year thereafter unless terminated by you or unless we notify you of our desire
to terminate this Agreement effective on its anniversary date in any year by
giving you at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice. You shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement at any time upon sixty days' prior written
notice. Termination shall be effective by the mailing by certified mail, return
receipt requested of a letter of notice addressed by either of us to the other
specifying the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may
terminate this Agreement without notice upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default. On termination for any reason, all Obligations shall, unless and to the
extent that you otherwise elect, become immediately due and payable without
notice or demand. Any of the following events shall constitute "Events of
Default" hereunder: we fail to pay or perform any Obligation owing to you or any
of your Affiliates when due or commit any breach of or default in the
performance of any agreement contained herein or in any instrument or document
delivered pursuant hereto or in any other agreement, instrument or document
under which we are obligated to you or any of your Affiliates; we as principal,
guarantor, surety or other party liable upon any Obligation make any false or
untrue representation to you or any of your Affiliates in connection with this
Agreement or any transaction relating hereto or in connection with any
Obligation; any partner (if we are a partnership) shall die or otherwise
withdraw from the partnership; any guarantor, surety or other party liable upon
any Obligation shall die; we (if a corporation) shall be dissolved or become a
party to any merger or consolidation without your prior written consent; if we
are a corporation, the persons who are in control of us shall change, or we
become insolvent or unable to meet our debts as they mature, or we file or have
filed against us a petition under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise seek a
rearrangement or restructuring of our indebtedness.
B. Notwithstanding any termination hereof, this Agreement shall
nevertheless continue in full force and effect as to, and be binding upon us,
after any termination, until we have fully paid, performed and satisfied all of
the Obligations, no matter how or when arising and whether under this or any
other agreement.
14. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, you shall have all of
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and
other applicable laws with respect to all Collateral, such rights and remedies
being in addition to all of your other rights and remedies provided for herein,
and further, you may, at any time or times, after the occurrence of any such
Event of Default, sell and deliver any and all other Collateral held by you or
for you at public or private sale, in one or more sales or parcels, at such
prices and upon such terms as you may deem best, and for cash or on credit or
for future delivery, without your assumption of any credit risk, and at public
or private sales, as you may deem appropriate. If reasonable notice of the time
and place of such sale is required under applicable law, such requirement shall
be met if any such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to our address shown on
the cover page hereof, or the last shown address in your records, at least five
(5) days before the time of the sale or disposition thereof. You may be the
purchaser at any sale, if it is public, free from any right of redemption, which
we also hereby expressly waive. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to
all costs and expenses of sale, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, and
then to the payment (in such order as you may elect) of all Obligations. You
will return any excess to us and we shall remain liable to you for any
deficiency. Your rights and remedies under this Agreement will be cumulative and
not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which you may otherwise have.
15. We agree to furnish you with balance sheets, statements of profit
and loss, financial statements and such other information regarding our business
affairs and financial conditions as you may from time to time require, and in
any event, a statement of our financial position for each fiscal year prepared
and certified by our regularly engaged Certified Public Accountant. All such
statements shall fairly present our financial condition as of the dates, and the
results of our operations for the periods, for which the same are furnished.
16. We agree that any claim or cause of action by us against you, or
any of your directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys,
based on, arising from or relating in any way to this Agreement, or any
supplement or amendment hereto, or any other present or future agreement between
us, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto
or thereto, or any other matter whatsoever shall be barred unless asserted by us
by the commencement of an action or proceeding in a court of competent
jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint within one year after the first act,
occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action, or any part
thereof, is based, and the service of a summons and complaint upon one of your
officers, within thirty (30) days thereafter. We agree that said one year period
is a reasonable and sufficient time for us to investigate and act upon such
claim or cause of action. Said one year period shall not be waived, tolled or
extended except by specific written consent by you. YOU AND WE EACH HERE WAIVE
THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING FROM, OR IN ANY WAY
RELATING TO: (I) THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY SUPPLEMENT HERETO; OR (II) ANY OTHER
PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US; OR (III) ANY
CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS BY YOU OR US OR ANY OF YOUR OR OUR RESPECTIVE
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS
AFFILIATED WITH YOU OR US; IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN
CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. As a material part of the consideration to you to
enter into this Agreement, we (1) agree that, at your option, all actions and
proceedings based upon, arising out of or relating in any way directly or
indirectly to this Agreement shall be litigated exclusively in courts located
within the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, California, (2) consent
to the jurisdiction of any such court and consent to the service of process in
any such action or proceeding by personal delivery, first-class mail, or any
other method permitted by law, and (3) waive any and all rights to transfer or
change the venue of any such action or proceeding to any court located outside
Los Angeles County, California. This Agreement and the other written documents
previously or now executed in connection herewith are the entire and only
agreements between us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all oral
representations, agreements and undertakings, previously or contemporaneously
made, which are not set forth herein or therein, are superseded hereby and
thereby. The provisions of this paragraph 16, shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.

The undersigned represents to you that certain Receivables are and will be

warrants and represents to you as follows:
Any and all Receivables heretofore or hereafter tendered to you by the
undersigned which are or may be billed in the name or names on the schedule
below, or designation of similar import, are owned exclusively by the
undersigned; and no other individual, partnership, corporation or other entity
whatsoever has or will have any right, title or interest in or with respect to

Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Factoring Agreement between us as the same may
be amended from time to time (the "Agreement"). All terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
We are pleased to confirm that we are prepared to factor sales made by
you to your customers in Canada.
Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Agreement, effective as of the date hereof, the Agreement is amended as follows:
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, we shall
purchase Receivables arising from your sales of goods or rendition of services
to customers in Canada ("Canadian Receivables").
The "Purchase Price of Canadian Receivables" shall be the net amount
of Canadian Receivables less the amount of our commission set forth in paragraph
4 below. The Purchase Price of Canadian Receivables purchased by us during any
month, less any monies advanced, remitted or otherwise paid by us for your
account, including any amounts which we may be obligated to pay in the future
and less any other charges to your account, shall be credited to your account as
and when the Canadian Receivables shall be deemed "Collected" as set forth
herein. A Canadian Receivable, as to which the credit standing of the customer
has been approved by us or our assignee, shall be deemed "Collected" upon the
earlier of (i) 120 days from the due date thereof, or (ii) seven (7) business
days after receipt by us of remittances from your customers in payment of
Canadian Receivables and only such on account payments specifically applicable
to specific Canadian Receivables and provided that prior to either such date
there is no Dispute as to such Canadian Receivables.
It is understood that we may assign any and all of the Canadian
Receivables purchased by us to other persons or entities to act on our behalf on
the performance of our services hereunder including, without limitation,
investigations and approvals and collection of Canadian Receivables and the
institution of legal or other proceedings necessary to effect collection thereof
and you hereby consent thereto in all respects. You shall execute such
instruments as we may from time to time require empowering our designees to act
in your name, and endorse your name on any and all checks, drafts or other forms
of remittance received in payment of Canadian Receivables purchased by us
hereunder.
On all Canadian Receivables which are assigned by us to other persons
or entities as provided in paragraph 3, you shall pay to us an additional
factoring commission of 1%. On all other Canadian Receivables, you shall pay to
us the regular factoring commission.
You shall assign the Canadian Receivables to us in separate assignment
schedules, clearly identified as such. You shall legend each of the Canadian
Receivables and every copy thereof to the effect that the same has been assigned
to us or to our assignee as we may direct and is payable in United States
dollars only.
We shall charge your account with all of our out-of-pocket costs
relative to the Canadian Receivables including, without limitation, cable and
wire transfer of funds, international telephone and telex communications, and
exchange rates and fees.
In the event remittances and payment of Canadian Receivables are
received by us or our assignee in other than United States dollars, we will
charge your account with any difference between the United States dollars owing
under such Canadian Receivables and United States dollars actually received upon
the exchange of the foreign currency, after deducting all costs and expenses
incurred in the making of the exchange.
Except as hereby specifically modified and amended, all of terms and
conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Kindly indicate your acceptance of the foregoing by signing and
returning the enclosed copy of this letter.

Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Factoring Agreement entered into between us as amended
from time to time (the "Agreement").
This will confirm that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
