Notwithstanding the foregoing, Inventory Advances will not exceed fifty percent (50%) of Eligible Accounts at any time.
Crestmark in its sole discretion may raise or lower any percentage advance rate with respect to the Advance Formula.
Eligible Accounts are accounts that arise in the ordinary course of business, are represented by an invoice, are presently due, are free from any dispute, are not from any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower, and are acceptable to Crestmark in its sole discretion. Excluded from Eligible Accounts are accounts that: (i) are more than 90 days from invoice date; (ii) with the exception of account debtors from Canada, are from a foreign account debtor; (iii) are from an account debtor on a xxxx and hold, guaranteed sale, C.O.D. sale, return sale of any kind, sale on approval, consignment or other conditional sale; (iv) are for tooling; (v) are contra accounts or are from an account debtor who is owed money by Borrower; or (vi) are in excess of twenty percent (20%) cross aging by dollar amount. Notwithstanding the aforementioned (ii), foreign account debtors (not to include Canada) will be considered eligible in Crestmark’s sole discretion but will be at all times limited to twenty percent (20%) of total domestic Eligible Accounts (to include Canada).
Eligible Inventory means and includes that Inventory (other than packaging materials, chemicals, additives, promotional items, labels and supplies) which Crestmark, in its sole credit judgment, deems to be Eligible Inventory. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Inventory shall be Eligible Inventory unless:
(a) | it is finished goods or raw materials that is not specific to end users; |
(b) | at all times it strictly complies with all of Borrower's promises, warranties and representations to Crestmark; |
(c) | it is in good, new and salable condition; |
(d) | it is not slow moving, obsolete or unmerchantable, in Crestmark’s sole and absolute discretion; |
(e) | it meets all standards imposed by any governmental agency or authority or any insurer; |
(f) | it is at all times subject to Crestmark’s duly perfected, first priority security interest and there exists no other lien or encumbrance other than as permitted hereunder; and |
(g) | it is in Borrower’s possession and control situated at the Xxxxxxxxxx, PA location only. |
Eligible Inventory shall not include Inventory that:
(a) | is in the hands of any third party, including a warehouseman, finisher, consignee, etc, unless Crestmark shall have received a warehouseman’s waiver or a third party processor’s waiver from such warehouseman, finisher, consignee, etc.; |
(b) | is subject to any license or other agreement that limits, conditions, or restricts Borrower’s or Crestmark’s right to sell or otherwise dispose of such Inventory; |
(c) | is related to the XcelaSAN product; |
(d) | is not of a type that Crestmark, in its commercially reasonable discretion, has determined is not Eligible Inventory; or |
(e) | is not in Borrower’s possession based upon consignment, guaranteed sale, or other terms by reason of which the payment by Borrower may be conditional. |
2 |
In order for Advances to be made against Inventory, Crestmark must be named as Lender Loss Payee on all insurance policies covering Inventory.
Crestmark will determine in its sole discretion whether any Collateral is eligible for an Advance, but no Collateral will be considered eligible unless the requirements set forth above are met. Regardless of whether any Collateral is eligible, it is still part of the Collateral securing the Obligations.
Prior to any request for an Advance Borrower must furnish to Crestmark invoices, credit memos, purchase orders, evidence of delivery, proof of shipment, timesheets or any other documents Crestmark requests, in its sole discretion, with respect to the Accounts that Borrower is tendering to Crestmark to support the Advance (“Account Documents”). Crestmark will endeavor to provide the requested Advance by the end of the next business day following the date it receives the request as long as the complete package of information for the request has been received by Crestmark by 3:00 p.m. Central Time on the date of the request for the Advance. All requests for funding will be subject to Crestmark’s then standard fees for electronic funds transfer, wire transfers and check services.
Each time an Advance is made, the amount of the Obligations will be increased by the amount of the Advance and once applied to a specific invoice, Crestmark will credit the Loan Account with the net amount actually received. On the date a collection is applied to a specific invoice Borrower will receive immediate credit on such funds in determining availability for Advances. For clarification purposes only, Clearance Days have been waived.
When Crestmark receives a payment from an Account Debtor, it will attempt to apply it against the appropriate Account Debtor and invoice according to the Account Debtor’s remittance advice. If it is not clear which Account Debtor or invoice the payment is to be applied against, Crestmark may contact Borrower or the payor for assistance.
4. FEES AND EXPENSES. The following fees will be paid by Borrower:
These Fees are in addition to the Fees set forth in the Note or elsewhere in the Agreement.
Misdirected Payment Fee: Borrower will pay Crestmark a misdirected payment fee in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the amount of any payment where said payment has been received by Borrower and not delivered in kind or the proceeds paid by Borrower to Crestmark within two (2) business days for any payment from a domestic account debtor (including those in Canada) or within five (5) business days for any payment from a foreign account debtor (outside the United States and Canada).

Borrower shall not be responsible for the Exit Fee if it provides Crestmark with sixty (60) days written notice of its intent to terminate if Borrower in good faith believes that Crestmark has not made advances to Borrower when it is not in Default of its obligation under the Agreement or has not deemed acceptable a material amount of accounts that are not otherwise excluded from Eligible Accounts pursuant to paragraph 2 of the Schedule to the Agreement. After the first anniversary date hereof, the Exit Fee will be waived so long as (i.) Borrower provides Crestmark with thirty (30) days prior written notice of Borrower’s intent to terminate the Agreement or (ii.) if Borrower is able to obtain a line of credit with a competitive bid from another lender and Crestmark is given thirty (30) days from its receipt of the actual competitive bid to match its terms and conditions and Crestmark is not able to match the competitive bid.
