Schedule, an exemplar of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by this
reference as Exhibit "A", executed by SELLER, setting forth the transaction
amount, which is defined as the total gross face amount of all invoice(s)
included in each transaction, the consideration (hereafter 'ADVANCE') paid by

following percentage of each BULK, less sales tax, so long as SELLER is not in

inadequate AFC shall have the right to deduct said amount(s) from any other
billing rights purchased by AFC from SELLER to demand payment of any other
accounts receivable of SELLER, whether or not purchased by AFC, and/or demand
reimbursement from SELLER.

greater than the net discount and advance) regarding each BULK, providing SELLER
is not in default or breach of this agreement.

becomes necessary for AFC to utilize an attorney to enforce its rights against
SELLER, SELLER agrees that such attorneys' fees shall be borne by SELLER. AFC
further agrees, subject to the foregoing, that upon collection of each
transaction amount, regarding each specific BULK, in a total sum equivalent to

rebates) when said excess sums are recieved by AFC.
