SUPPLY
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of March
20, 2009 by and between PERF-GO GREEN, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Client”) and STAR FUNDING,
INC., a New York corporation (“Supplier”)
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS,
Client engages in the business of development, marketing and selling of
eco-friendly, non-toxic, food contact compliant, biodegradable plastic products,
including without limitation bags, batteries, drop cloths, and other “green”
products (the “Goods”), and
WHEREAS,
Supplier is willing, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set
forth, to supply such Goods to Client or provide financial accommodations to
Client to enable it to purchase such Goods;
NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained
herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
§
1. Accommodations
Offered by Supplier.
(a) On
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Supplier may from time
to time, at Client’s request but at Supplier’s sole discretion, take any one or
more of the following actions (each, an “Accommodation”):
(i) arrange
to purchase Goods from such vendors as Client may recommend that are
satisfactory to Supplier (the “Sellers”) and supply such
Goods to Client against payment by Client on an open account basis;
(ii) cause
one or more financial institutions (“Issuers”) to issue letters of
credit (“Supplier
Letters of Credit”) for its account in
favor of one or more Sellers to support Supplier’s or Client’s payment
obligations for Goods purchased from such Sellers;
(iii)
make advances to Client in such amounts and on such terms as Supplier may
determine in its sole discretion, for the purpose of financing Client’s
acquisition of Goods and payment of the related Transaction Costs (as defined
below); or
(iv)
arrange to purchase from one or more financial institutions designated by Client
(“Document
Lenders”) documents covering
Goods ordered by Client (“Documents”) and sell such
Documents and the Goods they cover to Client against payment by Client on an
open account basis;
provided, however,
that unless Supplier expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Client shall not
request that Supplier provide any Accommodations if, after giving effect thereto
(x) the sum (without duplication) of (A) the total amount of Expenses and
Transaction Costs then outstanding, plus (B) the
aggregate unpaid amount of Supplier’s obligations, whether absolute or
contingent, under or in respect of any Supplier Letters of Credit, plus (C) the
aggregate amount paid by Supplier for Documents at Client’s request for which
Client has not reimbursed Supplier, plus (D) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all advances and other financial
accommodations made by Supplier to or for the benefit of Client under this
Agreement (such sum herein called the “Supplier
Exposure”) would exceed
$5,000,000.00 in the aggregate at any one time outstanding (which amount
Supplier may increase from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion,
based on factors which include, without limitation, the Client’s needs and
financial condition, the structure of the Transaction at issue, and the
performance of the Collateral).
(b) Client
intends to sell Goods supplied or financed by Supplier to Client’s customers
(“Customers”) pursuant to
written orders from the Customers (“Customer
Orders”).
§
2. Procedure for
Requesting Accommodations.
(a) Transaction
Requests. If Client proposes to request that Supplier arrange to supply
or finance the purchase of any Goods or a portion of the purchase price of any
Goods, Client shall: (i) notify Supplier of the proposed transaction (the “Transaction”) in writing; and
(ii) furnish to Supplier: (A) a copy of the purchase order(s) proposed to be
entered into by and between the Seller and Supplier or Client for the purchase
of the Goods (the “Supplier
Order(s)”) (B) copies of the
corresponding Customer Orders that Client proposes to fill using the Goods (all
of which shall be duly executed by Customers, shall be subject to confirmation
by Supplier and shall allow for partial shipment and/or fulfillment if the Goods
necessary to fill them are to be provided by more than one Seller), accompanied
by such assignments (the “Assignments”) as Supplier may
require and remittance in full of all deposits made by Customers in connection
with such Customer Orders, if any; (C) copies of any letters of credit that
support Customer Orders (“Customer
Letters of Credit”), which letters of
credit (if any) must be issued or confirmed by domestic banks acceptable to
Supplier, must be payable in U.S. Dollars at the New York counters of such
domestic banks, and must be in form, substance and amount satisfactory to
Supplier, together with evidence satisfactory to Supplier that such letters of
credit have been amended as requested by Supplier in its sole discretion and
have been transferred or assigned to Supplier, (D) a budget itemizing all costs
related to such request (“Transaction
Costs”)
(including but not limited to: the invoice price of the Goods; shipping costs;
freight costs; handling costs, insurance costs; customs and duties; taxes,
storage charges; packaging costs; additional overhead costs and expenses;
royalty payments, if any; and any other costs that may be incurred in connection
with the sale of the Goods) and setting forth the estimated time to deliver the
Goods to the Customer and the sale price of the Goods; (E) a specific
description of each freight forwarder, shipping company, customs broker,
warehouse and other person or entity that will provide services relating to the
shipping or storage of the Goods (each of which shall be satisfactory to
Supplier in its sole discretion and shall be referred to as a “Logistics
Company”), together with a
description of the shipping and storage arrangements in detail satisfactory to
Supplier (the “Delivery
Arrangements”) and triparty
agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Supplier (“Triparty
Agreements”), duly executed by
each Logistics Company, (F) all
documents specified on Exhibit “A” annexed hereto and incorporated herein by
reference (other than documents that have been waived by Supplier), and (0) such
other documents as Supplier may require in its sole discretion (all of the
foregoing documents herein collectively called the “Transaction
Documents”). Supplier shall in
no event consider supplying or financing the acquisition of Goods in a
Transaction that (i) requires Supplier or Client to make any payment to a Seller
(whether directly, under a letter of credit or otherwise) before the Goods are
finished and ready for shipment or (ii) would give rise to a CR Receivable (as
such term is defined in the Factoring Agreement, as hereinafter defined).
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Spectrum Bags, Incorporated is
hereby deemed to be an approved Logistics Company.
(b) Supplier’s
Discretion. Client agrees that Supplier is not and shall not be obligated
to purchase or finance Goods or take any other action requested by Client
pursuant to this Section, and acknowledges that Supplier may reject any such
request for any reason (or no reason) in its sole discretion.
(c) Accounts.
Client shall provide such documents and take such action as Supplier may require
from time to time to ensure that Client has the unconditional and irrevocable
right to assign each Customer Order and the related Account (as hereinafter
defined), including the right to receive all payments in connection therewith,
to Supplier. Client hereby grants to Supplier the right and authorizes Supplier
(but agrees that Supplier shall have no obligation) to ship all Goods supplied
or financed by it directly to the Customer, invoice the sale of the Goods to the
Customer and assign the Accounts arising therefrom to Supplier, either in its
capacity as Supplier hereunder or in its capacity as factor (in such capacity,
the “Factor”) under the
Factoring Agreement of even date herewith between Client and Factor (as it may
be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Factoring
Agreement”), on behalf of
Client and in Client’s name. Client further agrees that such Accounts may be
reassigned by any assignee. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Accounts”
shall mean and include all accounts and all other obligations of Customers
arising out of the sale and delivery of Goods pursuant to a Customer Order. All
Accounts related to the Goods (and all invoices and other instruments and
documents relating to such Accounts) shall (i) except as otherwise provided in
the Factoring Agreement, state that all payments in respect of the Accounts are
to be made directly to Supplier (in accordance with instructions to be provided
by Supplier to Client and printed, stamped or otherwise indicated on the related
invoices), and (ii) if Supplier so requires, be covered by one or more policies
in form and substance, and in amounts, that are satisfactory to Supplier, issued
by insurance companies that are acceptable to Supplier.
(d) Related
Costs and Expenses. If all the Transaction Documents relating to a
contemplated Transaction are in form and substance acceptable to Supplier in its
sole discretion, Client may request Supplier to provide an Accommodation and
Supplier may, in its sole discretion, do so if it is satisfied with all other
matters relating to such Transaction. At Supplier’s option, Supplier in its sole
discretion may pay any Transaction Costs relating to such Transaction. Any
amounts paid by Supplier in respect of the purchase price of the Goods,
Transaction Costs and any and all other charges or expenses including, but not
limited to any and all filing fees, costs of collection, legal fees, royalty
payments and any and all other expenses, charges and fees incurred by Supplier
to protect its title or interest in and to the Goods, any and all charges,
commissions,
fees, costs and expenses provided for in this Agreement and in any of the other
Supplier Documents (as defined below) shall be paid to Supplier by Client upon
demand.
(e) No
Assumption of Obligations. Client confirms and acknowledges that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any
other document, Supplier has not assumed and will not assume or be or become
liable for any of the obligations of Client to any Customer, Seller, Logistics
Company or other person or entity, under any Transaction Document or otherwise,
and Client shall remain fully liable for the performance of all such
obligations. The assignment herein of the Customer Orders is executed only as
security for the obligations of Client to Supplier; the execution and delivery
of this Agreement shall not subject Supplier to, or in any way affect or modify
the liability of Client under, any Customer Orders.
(f) Title to
Goods. Client
acknowledges and agrees that Supplier shall hold good and marketable title to
all Goods purchased by Supplier from a Seller at Client’s request or covered by
Documents purchased by Supplier from a Document Lender at Client’s request, free
and clear of any liens, encumbrances, claims and adverse interests of Client or
any person or entity claiming through Client, other than as contemplated by that
certain Subordination Agreement of even date herewith between Client, PERF
Go-Green Holdings, Inc., Supplier, and certain third party lenders (as may be
amended or modified from time to time, the “Subordination
Agreement”) and Client hereby
expressly waives and releases, and expressly agrees that it will not assert, or
permit any other person or entity to assert, any such liens, encumbrances,
claims or adverse interests.
(g) Delivery
Arrangements. No Goods shall be shipped unless Supplier is satisfied with
the Delivery Arrangements and approves them in writing. Unless Supplier
otherwise directs in its sole discretion, the Delivery Arrangements shall
provide that all Goods purchased or financed hereunder shall be handled by
Logistics Companies that are acceptable to Supplier in its sole discretion and
have executed and delivered Triparty Agreements and shall be shipped (at
Supplier’s option in its sole discretion) directly to Client, Customer,
Supplier, or a warehouse that is acceptable to Supplier. Supplier shall have no
obligation to use, and Client shall not use, any Logistics Company that has not
been approved in writing by Supplier.

(h)

Shipping Location and
Charges.
|
(i) Supplier
retains the right at any and all times to ship Goods purchased or financed by it
hereunder to any location designated by Supplier, and Client hereby agrees to
accept the Goods at such location. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Supplier may ship the Goods directly to the Customer in Client’s name
or its own name.
(ii) Client
shall pay all shipping charges related to the Transactions. At Supplier’s
option, Client shall pay the shipping charges by: (a) prepaying such charges and
providing evidence of same to Supplier; or (b) paying to Supplier, upon the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and on Supplier’s demand from time to
time thereafter, an amount sufficient in Supplier’s judgment to cover shipping
charges relating to a request by Client for Goods, to be held in escrow by
Supplier for payment against the shipping invoices; or (c) paying Supplier upon
Supplier’s demand.
(i) Invoices. Client shall issue, at
Supplier’s request and at Supplier’s option as Supplier’s agent, invoices
pursuant to the Customer Orders in such form as Supplier may in its sole
discretion direct.
(j) Supplier
Letters of Credit. Client hereby agrees to reimburse Supplier immediately
upon demand for any payment (including without limitation in respect of
reimbursement, fees and charges) made or required to be made by Supplier to an
Issuer in respect of a Supplier Letter of Credit issued by it. The obligation of
Client to reimburse Supplier for payments under or in respect of Supplier
Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid under
all circumstances including without limitation any of the following
circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Supplier Letter
of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
which Client or Supplier may have at any time against a beneficiary or any
transferee of any Supplier Letter of Credit (or any person or entity for whom
any such transferee may be acting), or any other person or entity; (iii) any
draft or other document presented under any Supplier Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the
applicable Issuer under any Supplier Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the tenns of
such Supplier Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business,
operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects
of Client; (vi) any breach of this Agreement or any related instrument or
document by any party thereto; or (vii) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. As between Client
and Supplier, Client assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse
of any Supplier Letters of Credit by the respective beneficiaries of such
Supplier Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, Supplier shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by
any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such
Supplier Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any such Supplier Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which
may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the
beneficiary of any such Supplier Letter of Credit to comply fully with any
conditions required in order to draw upon such Supplier Letter of Credit; (iv)
errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be
in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make
a drawing under any such Supplier Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof~
(vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Supplier Letter of
Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Supplier Letter of Credit; or
(viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Supplier, and
none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of
Supplier’s rights or powers hereunder.
§ 3. Inspection
of Goods. Supplier, in its sole discretion, may arrange for a
pre-shipment inspection of the Goods by an inspection company of its choice, or
require Client to cause the Goods to be inspected by an independent quality
control agency chosen by Client and approved by Supplier before Supplier pays
for such Goods or for the Documents that cover such Goods or makes an
advance or permits a drawing under a Supplier Letter of Credit that allows
Client to pay for such Goods or related Documents. Supplier may consider waiving
the requirement of an independent pre-shipment inspection of Goods by a third
party if the Customer with respect to such Goods (i) nominates an independent
inspector satisfactory to Supplier, in its sole discretion, or (ii) takes
responsibility in writing for inspecting such Goods. A representative of
Supplier or any individual designated by Supplier shall have access to inspect
all Goods purchased or financed by Supplier hereunder at any and all times until
they are delivered to Customer. Client shall pay all costs and fees incurred by
Supplier in connection with the inspection and examination of such Goods
immediately upon demand by Supplier.
§
4. Purchase Price,
Fees and Charges.
(a) Purchase
Price. In the event that Client requests that Supplier supply Goods to
it, Client shall purchase such Goods from Supplier for a purchase price (the
“Purchase
Price”)
equal to the sum (without duplication) of (i) the total amount paid or to be
paid by Supplier to Seller for the Goods, or the total amount paid or to be paid
by Supplier to a Document Lender for Documents covering the Goods, plus (ii) the
aggregate amount of Supplier’s obligations, whether absolute or contingent,
under or in respect of any related Supplier Letters of Credit, plus (iii) all
related Transaction Costs, bank fees and charges and inspection costs, plus (iv)
all other amounts advanced by Supplier to Client or to a third party for
Client’s benefit, plus (v) all other charges, costs, fees and expenses provided
for in this Agreement (the sum of the amounts specified in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii), (iv), and (v) above being herein referred to as the “Expenses”), plus (vi) the
Margin. For this purpose, the term “Margin”
means with respect to each request by Client for Supplier to supply or finance
Goods under this Agreement, an amount equal to 2.0% of the total amount of
Expenses relating to such Goods for each 30-day period (or portion thereof),
commencing on the earliest Supplier Acquisition Date (as defined below) with
respect to such Goods and continuing until the date on which all Accounts in
respect of such Customer Invoice have been factored and funded in full under the
Factoring Agreement or otherwise paid in full in cash. The term “Supplier
Acquisition Date”
means, with respect to any Goods, the date on which Supplier first incurs
an obligation (whether absolute or contingent) to purchase such Goods or any
exposure with respect to such purchase (whether by placing a purchase order, by
issuing or causing the issuance of a letter of credit, by making an advance, or
for any other reason). The Purchase Price, and all other obligations of Client
to Supplier, shall be paid by Client to Supplier immediately upon
demand.
(b) Letter of
Credit Fees. In the event that Supplier obtains a Supplier Letter of
Credit, Client shall pay to Supplier (i) a fee equal to 0.25% of the face amount
of such Supplier Letter of Credit, payable (A) on the first day of each 90-day
period (or portion thereof) that such Supplier Letter of Credit is outstanding
and (B) on any date on which such Supplier Letter of Credit is renewed, extended
or cancelled, (ii) a fee equal to 0.25% of the face amount of each draft
presented under such Supplier Letter of Credit, payable on the date such draft
is presented to the Issuer thereof, and (iii) any additional fees, charges,
costs, expenses or other amounts charged by the Issuer thereof
(c) Maximum
Amount. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein,
if a court of competent jurisdiction should deem any portion of the Purchase
Price or any commissions,
costs, fees or charges provided for in this Agreement to be interest and such
interest is deemed by such court to be in excess of the maximum contract rate
permitted by the applicable usury law, the provisions of this subsection (c)
shall govern and control and neither Client nor any Guarantor (as hereinafter
defined) shall be liable to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that
it is in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by law, any such excess
which may have been received by Supplier shall be either applied against the
then unpaid obligations of Client to Supplier (other than any such obligations
that are deemed to be excessive interest as aforesaid) or at Supplier’s option
refunded to Client, and any portion of the Purchase Price or any commissions,
costs, fees or charges deemed to be interest by such court shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum interest rate allowed by law.
(d) Shortfall.
Client hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, in the event that the aggregate
principal amount of all advances Factor expects to make under the Factoring
Agreement on accounts receivable arising from the sale of Goods supplied or
financed by Supplier in a particular Transaction is less than the total
anticipated Supplier Exposure for such Transaction (the amount by which it is
less, herein called the “Shortfall”), Client shall
remit to Supplier immediately upon demand and as a condition to Supplier’s
providing the Accommodation requested by Client in connection with such
Transaction, cash collateral in an amount equal to or exceeding the Shortfall.
Client further agrees that Supplier may, at its option, charge the amount of the
Shortfall to Client’s account with the Factor.
§ 5. Sale of
Goods. Client
shall deliver Goods to each Customer in accordance with (i) its customary
business practice; (ii) the terms and conditions of the relevant Customer Order;
(iii) the terms and conditions of any Triparty Agreement; (iv) the terms and
conditions of the Factoring Agreement; and (v) the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. In the event that Supplier delivers or arranges for the delivery of
Goods directly to a Customer, then simultaneously with such delivery Supplier
shall, under the following terms and conditions, sell such Goods to Client to
allow Client to deliver the Goods pursuant to the Customer Order.
(a) Accounts.
Client represents and warrants with respect to all Accounts that (A) each such
Account will: (i) cover a bona fide sale and delivery of merchandise usually
dealt in or sold by Client or the rendition of services to customers in the
ordinary course of Client’s business; (ii) cover merchandise or services which
have been received and will be accepted by the respective Customer without
dispute or claim of any kind or nature; (iii) not represent a consignment,
“guaranteed return” or other type of conditional sale; (iv) be for a liquidated
amount maturing as stated iii the respective invoice covering said sale and
Client’s assignment thereof to Supplier; (v) be absolutely enforceable against
the respective Customer free and clear of any condition, offset, deduction,
counterclaim, lien or encumbrance except in favor of the Factor; and (B) at the
time of assignment of each such Account Client shall not be aware of anything
detrimental to the relevant Customer’s credit. Client hereby represents that it
will not re-date any sale or invoice without Supplier’s prior written
approval.
(b) Supplier
Payments. Except as otherwise provided in the Factoring Agreement, Client
will cause each Customer to pay all amounts generated from all Accounts directly
to Supplier. Any payment to which Supplier is entitled with respect to any sale
of Goods is herein referred to as a “Supplier
Payment”.
(c) Supplier’s
Property. Except
as otherwise provided in the Factoring Agreement or the Subordination
Agreement, all Accounts shall remain the sole property of Supplier unless and
until all Supplier Payments have been paid in full to Supplier.
(d) Turnover
of Payments; Deficiency. Any amount received by Client in connection with
the sale of Goods shall be immediately turned over to Supplier in the form
received and paid directly to Supplier. Client shall not factor, assign or grant
any security interest in any accounts receivable to any person or entity other
than Star Funding, Inc., except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Security
Agreement of even date herewith between the Client and Supplier) unless (i)
Client shall have obtained the prior written consent of Supplier and (ii) Client
shall have delivered to Supplier an intercreditor agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Supplier, duly executed by Client and such person or
entity. Client hereby expressly grants Supplier the right to set off any amount
owed by Client to Supplier against any amount otherwise due Client under this
Agreement or otherwise, and Client shall remain liable to Supplier at all times
for any deficiency with respect thereto. If for any reason Supplier does not
receive an amount in connection with the sale of Goods sufficient to reimburse
or pay Supplier in full for all amounts owing under this Agreement or any other
Supplier Document, Client shall pay to Supplier on demand the amount of any
deficiency.
(e) Sale to
Customer. Provided all of the foregoing terms and conditions are
satisfied with respect to any shipment of Goods and Client provides Supplier
with (i) a copy of the invoice to Customer acceptable to Supplier in its sole
discretion, (ii) proof of assignment of the Accounts to Supplier (or Factor, if
the Accounts are being factored under the Factoring Agreement) satisfactory to
Supplier in its sole discretion, (iii) receipt of the shipping documents
evidencing the shipment of the Goods to the Customer satisfactory to Supplier in
its sole discretion, (iv) if required by Supplier in its sole discretion, an
inspection certification by Customer’s representative stating that the Goods
meet the specifications of the Customer Order, and (v) any and all other
documents Supplier in its sole discretion may request, Supplier shall
simultaneously therewith sell the Goods to Client. In order to ensure Client’s
compliance with this Section a representative of Supplier may be present when
the Goods are shipped to the Customer.
§ 6. Application
of Payments. All payments received by Supplier with respect to any
Transaction will be applied by Supplier to the payment in full of Client’s
obligations to it hereunder in such order and manner as it may determine in its
sole discretion. So long as no Event of Default (as defined below) shall have
occurred and be continuing, any amounts remaining after such payment in full
shall be remitted to Client or as required by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
§ 7. Custody
of Goods and Security Interest.
(a) Custody. At all times
during which a Logistics Company has possession of or control over Goods and
until such Goods are sold to Client pursuant to §5, Client shall cause the
Logistics Company to (i) hold such Goods as the bailee and agent of Supplier;
(ii) segregate such Goods from any other goods owned by Client or any other
person; (iii) clearly and conspicuously xxxx or otherwise identif5r such Goods
as owned by Supplier; (iv) issue warehouse receipts and other documents, in form
and substance satisfactory to Supplier, showing Supplier’s ownership of such
Goods; and (v) exercise prudent care in holding such Goods. Client shall remain
solely liable for all
warehousing, processing and manufacturing charges and shall provide Supplier
with proof of payment of such charges within three (3) days before the date
payment is due. Client shall also (A) procure and maintain, at its own expense,
adequate insurance covering such Goods, naming Supplier as additional insured
and loss payee and (B) maintain a perpetual inventory of such Goods, which shall
be subject to examination and verification by Supplier at any time.

assign its rights and interests under Customer Orders to Supplier and Factor,
all consents required in connection with the assignment of its rights and
interests thereunder and the execution, delivery and performance of the Supply
Agreement, the Factoring Agreement and all other Supplier Documents have been
obtained, and such assignment, execution, deliver and performance does not
constitute a breach or violation of, or a default under, any contract or
agreement between Client and any of its Customers. Client has not assigned,
pledged or encumbered any of its rights or interests under any Customer Order
submitted to Supplier hereunder or any contract under which such order is
issued, except to Factor pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, to Supplier
pursuant hereto, and to any third party to the extent contemplated by the
