For example, assuming the Purchase Price is $450,000 (net of the original 20% Discount and the 5% Collection Fee), and assuming that the Original Balance was $600,000, and assuming $400,000 of the total Original Balance of the Receivables was outstanding for 25 days before it was collected and received by Buyer, and the balance of the Original Balance in the amount of $200,000 was outstanding for 120 days before it was collected and received by Buyer, then:

 

$400,000 x 18.5% = $74,000

$200,000 x  14% = $28,000

Total Rebate: $102,000 less offsets and claims for other amounts owed, if any, as described below.

 

The Rebate shall be determined by Buyer and paid to Seller within 5 days after the earlier of (a) Buyer has received Collections equal to 100% of the Original Balance of Receivables, or (b) Buyer receives Collections from Receivables equal to the sum of the following: $438,444.38 plus the Collection Fee of $29,229.62 plus the Net Discount then due and applicable as of the date in question plus Legal Fees. In the case of subparagraph (b) in the preceding sentence, the Rebate would not be paid in cash but would be payable solely in the form of an assignment by Buyer of the uncollected Receivables to Seller without recourse. For example, the Rebate would be due and payable, in the form of uncollected Receivables, by the 65th day after the Closing if Buyer received from Collections of Receivables on the 60th day after the Closing Date: (i)  $438,444.38; plus (ii) the Collection Fee; plus (iii) $17,537.78 (i.e. 3% times the Original Balance of the Receivables) based on the Net Discount that applies if the Receivables are outstanding for 51 to 60 days since the Closing Date; plus (iv) Legal Fees. The amount of the applicable Rebate, if any, shall be reduced by the amount of the accrued unpaid interest, if any, and all costs and expenses and indemnification obligations owed by Seller under the terms of this Agreement.  Upon payment in full of all amounts owed to Buyer under this Agreement, Buyer shall assign the remaining uncollected Receivables, if any, to Seller without recourse and on an as is basis and without any warranties and representations.

 

(c)           If for any reason and to the extent Buyer does not receive Collections equal to 100% of the Original Balance by the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date, upon written demand by Buyer (the “Buy Back Notice”), which demand made be made by Buyer at any time on or after such 120 day period, Seller agrees to purchase the applicable  remaining uncollected Receivables (the “Sold Back Receivables”) from Buyer upon demand and in accordance with the following: (1) the purchase price for such Sold Back Receivables shall equal (1) the Outstanding Balance of the Sold Back Receivables, less the original 20% Discount, and plus the Net Discount that would have applied if the Sold Back Receivables were collected on the Sold Back Closing Date,  plus accrued interest at the Default Rate on such purchase price amount accruing commencing on the 120th day after the Closing Date (2) the closing (“Sold Back Closing Date”) of the purchase by Seller of the Sold Back Receivables shall occur by no later than 5 days after Buyer sends the Buy Back Notice to Seller; (3) the purchase price shall be paid by Seller without offset or deduction and in good funds at the Sold Back Closing Date by wire transfer to Buyer’s designated account; (4) Upon receipt by Buyer of the purchase price in good funds as described above in this paragraph, Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller such documents as are reasonably necessary to terminate Buyer’s security interest in such Sold Back Receivables and to transfer, assign and sell the Sold Back Receivables and Related Security, without recourse, to

Seller, and without any warranties or representations, express or implied, except that Buyer shall warrant that such Sold Back Receivables have not been liened or encumbered or assigned by Buyer except as provided for in this Agreement.

 

An example of the calculation of the purchase price for Sold Back Receivables that Seller will be required to pay as described above in paragraph 1.2(c) above is as follows:

 

If the Sold Back Closing Date is 145 days from the Closing Date and assuming the Outstanding Balance of the Sold Back Receivables is $100,000 as of the Sold Back Closing Date, then the purchase price would be:

 

 

 

150/10 x .5% = 7.5% x $100,000 = $7500 (Net Discount)

 

 

 

80% x $100,000 = $80,000 (original purchase price net of Discount))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$87,500  (total purchase price to be paid by Seller)

 

 

Section 1.3  Other Buy Back Rights. If on any day:

 

(a)       the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable purchased is:

 

(i)                                     reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or  returned goods or services, any discount or any adjustment or

(ii)                                  otherwise by the Seller (other than to reflect cash Collections on account of such Receivable), or

(iii)                               reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or

 

(b)                     any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1(i), (l), (p), (q), (r),(s) or (t) hereof is not true when made or deemed made with respect to any Receivable, or

 

(c)                      It is determined by Buyer in its sole discretion that any portion of the Receivables cannot be collected for any reason, including, without limitation, the inability or the unwillingness of the Obligor to pay the amount owed with respect to the  Receivable in question

 

then, in each such event, the Buyer may elect by written notice to Seller, at any time thereafter, with respect to the Receivable in question,  to cause Seller to purchase from Buyer within 5 days of written demand such Receivable for cash equal to:  the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable in question, less the original 20% Discount, and plus the Net Discount that would have applied if the Receivable in question were collected on the date that the sale back of such Receivable occurs.  An example of the calculation of the purchase price as described in the preceding sentence is provided in Section 1.2(c) above except that the closing date would be the date that is 5 days after written demand from Buyer. Buyer shall, at the time of payment from Seller of the purchase price in good funds, execute such documents as reasonably necessary to assign back to Seller the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable in question without recourse and in its as —is condition, and otherwise without any warranties or representations, express or implied except that Buyer has not liened or encumbered or assigned such returned Receivables except as provided for in this Agreement.

In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If Seller fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, Seller agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Rate in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

The Seller shall permit the Buyer during such Seller’s normal business hours, at the expense of the Seller, to inspect and copy all such collection Records and other books and records regarding the Receivables and the Contracts solely for purposes of administering and collecting the Receivables hereunder. In order to facilitate such administration, collection and servicing of such Receivables, the Seller hereby grants to each of the Buyer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by the Seller to account for such Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by the Seller or is owned by others and used by the Seller under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, the Seller hereby agrees that upon the request of the Buyer, the Seller will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 1.6  Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the-parties expressed in Section 1.1(c), any sale by an Seller to the Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Receivables by the Seller hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables of the Seller which exist as of the date hereof, together with all Related Security with respect thereto, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables purchased from such Seller together with any Purchase Interest applicable thereto and all other obligations of the Seller hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Upon the occurrence of a Event of Default, the Buyer shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor upon default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

Section 1.7 Security Agreement for Seller’s Obligations

 

(a)           Security Interest in the Collateral.  To secure the prompt payment and performance to the Buyer of the Obligations, the Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants to the Buyer for its benefit a continuing security interest in and to all of the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located.  The Seller shall xxxx its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect the Buyer’s security interest and shall cause its financial statements to reflect such security interest. Such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof, in each case, to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or, in the case of Collateral consisting of instruments, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities, to the extent that Buyer  takes possession of such Collateral. Seller acknowledges that Buyer may place a “hold” on any deposit account pledged as Collateral to secure the Obligations. Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, Buyer’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.  Further, Buyer agrees that any security interest or Lien held in favor of Buyer with respect to assets of Seller in connection with and/or as security for the repayment of  any other amounts or obligations owed by Seller to Buyer under any other agreements shall also secured the obligations of Seller under this Agreement, and Seller agrees to execute such further documents as are reasonably necessary to further evidence such security interest of Buyer, and that notwithstanding any prior agreement between Seller and Buyer to the contrary, Buyer’s security interest in Seller’s assets shall not terminate until all obligations owed to Buyer by Seller under this Agreement or any other agreements are fully satisfied.

 

(b)           Perfection of Security Interest.  The Seller shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Buyer may request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of the Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral or to enable the Buyer to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) delivering to the Buyer, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as the Buyer may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as the Buyer may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credits and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, (ii) entering into warehousing, lockbox and other custodial arrangements satisfactory to the Buyer, and (iii) executing and delivering financing statements, instruments of pledge, mortgages, hypothecs notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of the Buyer’s security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law.  The Buyer is hereby authorized to file financing statements without the signature of Seller in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law.  All charges, expenses and fees the Buyer may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any taxes relating thereto, shall, at Buyer’s request, be charged to Seller’s Account and added to the Obligations, or, at the Buyer’s option, shall be paid to the Buyer immediately upon demand. Buyer agrees to execute and deliver to Seller from time to time such subordination agreements as Seller may request and as are necessary to give to other Buyers which finance equipment for Seller a first priority security interest in the equipment financed so long as the Liens and the indebtedness incurred with respect to such equipment financing are permitted under this Agreement.  Within 21 days after demand, Seller shall cause execution and delivery of control agreements with Seller’s deposit accounts in forms reasonably acceptable to Buyer, subject to delays if caused by such banks, and take such other action as is necessary to perfect Buyer’s first lien security interest in Seller’s deposit accounts with all of its banks (collectively “Control Account Perfection”), and, upon request by Buyer, Seller further agrees to obtain Control Account Perfection within 21 days after any new deposit accounts are established with any of its banks from time to time. Seller’s failure to obtain the Control Account Perfection within 21 days

 

6

 

after the Closing and, with respect to new deposit accounts that are subsequently established, within 21 days after such account or accounts are established, shall in either event constitute an Event of Default except to the extent delays are caused by or due to the acts or delay of the applicable banks. Within 14 days of the Closing, , Seller shall file all necessary filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, in forms reasonably acceptable to Buyer, to evidence and effectuate Buyer’s first lien security interest in the Seller’s registered Patents and registered Trademarks.

 

(c)           Preservation of Collateral.  During the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer may at any time take such steps as the Buyer deems necessary to protect its interest in and to preserve the Collateral and shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any of Seller’s owned or leased property.  The Seller shall cooperate fully with all of the Buyer’s efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as the Buyer may direct.  All of the Buyer’s expenses of preserving the Collateral shall, at Buyer’s request, be charged to Seller, bear interest at the Default Rate and be added to the Obligations.

 

(d)           Ownership of Collateral.  With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to the Buyer’s security interest:  (a) the Seller shall be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first priority security interest in each and every item of the Collateral to the Buyer; (b) each document and agreement executed by the Seller or delivered to the Buyer in connection with this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects; and (c) all signatures and endorsements of the Seller that appear on such documents and agreements shall be genuine and the Seller shall have full capacity to execute same.

 

(e)           Defense of Buyers’ Interests.  Until (a) payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and (b) termination of this Agreement, the Buyer’s interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect.  During such period the Seller shall not, without the Buyer’s prior written consent, pledge, sell, assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way, any part of the Collateral.  The Seller shall defend the Buyer’s interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever.  At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Buyer shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including without limitation, labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials.  If the Buyer exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, the Seller shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to the Buyer at a place reasonably convenient to the Buyer.  In addition, with respect to all Collateral, the Buyer shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law.  The Seller shall, and the Buyer may, at its option, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, documents or instruments in which the Buyer holds a security interest to deliver same to the Buyer and/or subject to the Buyer’s order and if they shall come into any Seller’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by Seller in trust as the Buyer’s trustee, and  Seller will immediately deliver them to the Buyer in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

 

(f)            Books and Records.  The  Seller shall keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions of or in relation to its business and affairs, and set up on its books accruals with respect to all taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims.  All determinations pursuant to this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by, GAAP consistently applied in the opinion of such independent public accountant as shall then be regularly engaged by the Seller.

 

7

 

(g)           Compliance with Laws.  The Seller shall comply with all acts, rules, regulations and orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of the Seller’s business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller.  The Seller may, however, contest or dispute any acts, rules, regulations, orders and directions of those bodies or officials in any reasonable manner, provided that any related Lien is inchoate or stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer to protect the Buyer’s Lien on or security interest in the Collateral.  The assets of the Seller at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the assets of the Seller so that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(h)           Inspection of Premises.  At all reasonable times the Buyer shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from the Seller’s books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of the Seller’s business.  The Buyer and its agents may enter upon any of the Seller Parties’ premises at any time during business hours and at any other reasonable time, and from time to time, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto and the operation of such Seller’s business.

 

(i)            Insurance.  The Seller shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral.  At the Seller’s own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers acceptable to the Buyer, the Seller shall keep all its insurable properties and properties in which each Seller has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Seller’s including, without limitation, business interruption insurance.  If the Seller fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, the Buyer may, if it so elects, obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of the Seller, and charge Seller’s Account therefor and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations.  All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such amounts as are reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any casualty policy to the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under any such policy shall, at the option of Buyer, be payable to Buyer to be applied on account of the Obligations.

 

(j)            Payment of Taxes.  The Seller will pay, when due, (or, if contested as set forth below, provide for payment of) all Taxes, assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon the Seller or any of the Collateral.  If any tax by any Governmental Body is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between the Seller and the Buyer and the Buyer may be required to withhold or pay, or if any Taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in the Buyer’s opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, the Buyer may, without notice to the Seller, pay the Taxes, assessments or other Charges and the Seller hereby indemnifies and holds the Buyer harmless in respect thereof.  The Buyer will not pay any taxes, assessments or Charges to the extent that the Seller has contested or disputed those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest, administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding provided that any related tax lien is stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer to protect the Buyer’s security interest in or Lien on the Collateral.  The amount of any payment by the Buyer under this Section shall be charged to Sellers’ Account and added to the Obligations and, until the Seller shall furnish the Buyer with an indemnity therefor (or supply the Buyer with evidence satisfactory to the Buyer that due provision for the payment thereof has been

 

8

 

made), the Buyer may hold without interest any balance standing to the Seller’s credit and the Buyer shall retain its security interest in any and all Collateral held by the Buyer.

 

(k)           Accounts.

 

i.              Nature of Accounts.  Each of the Accounts shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by Seller as of the date each Account is created.  Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the Seller’s standard terms of sale.

 

ii.             Locations of Seller.  The Seller’s chief executive office is located at 0000 X. Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx. Anaheim, California.  Until written notice is given to the Buyer by the Seller of any other office at which Seller keeps its records pertaining to Accounts, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

 

iii.            Notification of Assignment of Accounts.  At any time following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default past any applicable cure period, the Buyer shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and the Buyer’s security interest in, the Accounts to any and all customers or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral.  Thereafter, the Buyer shall have the sole right to collect the Accounts, take possession of the Collateral, or both.  The Buyer’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to Seller’s Account and added to the Obligations.

 

iv.            Power of Buyer to Act on Seller’s Behalf.  At any time following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default past any applicable cure period, the Buyer shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of the Buyer or Seller any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Accounts, and the Seller hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed.  At any time following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Seller hereby constitutes the Buyer or its designee as the Seller Parties’ attorney with power (i) to endorse  Seller’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (ii) to sign Seller’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Accounts, drafts against customers, assignments and verifications of Accounts; (iii) to send verifications of Accounts to any customer; (iv) to demand payment of the Accounts; (v) to enforce payment of the Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise; (vi) to exercise all of the Seller’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts and any other Collateral; (vii) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Accounts; (viii) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts; (ix) to prepare, file and sign any Seller’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any customer; (x) to prepare, file and sign Seller’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Accounts; (xi) to transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into the name of Buyer; and (xii) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement.  All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid.  The Buyer shall have the right at any time following the occurrence

(v)           Buyer shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Buyer to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

 

(b) Buyer’s Discretion.  The Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies the Buyer may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of the Buyer’s rights hereunder.

 

(c) Setoff.  In addition to any other rights which the Buyer may have under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Buyer shall have a right to apply any Seller’s property held by the Buyer to reduce the Obligations.

 

(d) Rights and Remedies not Exclusive.  The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not

 

20

 

preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, the Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy).

AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of November 27, 2002, is by and among Odetics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and Technology Lending Partners, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Buyer”). This Agreement is intended to amend and modify the terms of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Original Agreement”) dated October 18, 2002 among Seller and Buyer as described herein. Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I of  the Original Agreement.

 

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

 

A. The parties hereto intend to amend the Original Agreement to provide for an additional purchase of specific accounts receivables (the “Receivables”), which are listed in Schedule I attached hereto, and that all transfers of such Receivables hereunder, be true sales to the Buyer by the Seller of the Receivables originated by it, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables, and the Seller and the Buyer do not intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as loans from the Buyer to the Seller. Reference to “Receivables” in this Agreement shall mean the accounts receivable that are described in Schedule I attached hereto

 

B. The parties intend that the purchase of the Receivables herein shall be governed by all of  the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement except as specifically provided for herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.  Purchase of Receivables.

 

(a) Effective on the Closing Date, in consideration for the purchase price to be paid to the Seller and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer does hereby purchase from the Seller, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the Closing Date, the Buyer shall acquire all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables, together with all of the Seller’s rights in and to all Related Security relating thereto. The Buyer shall be obligated to pay the purchase price for the Receivables purchased hereunder from the Seller in accordance with Section 2 herein.

 

(b) On each Monthly Reporting Date, the Buyer shall submit a report to Seller which reflects the details of the Collections relating to the Receivables received since the Closing Date.

2


 

provides the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by the Seller. The sale of Receivables hereunder by the Seller is made with recourse to Seller as described herein, and this sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Seller or any Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and /or other Related Security or any other obligations of the Seller. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the purchase of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, the Seller agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1 (e)(ii) of the Original Agreement, xxxx its master data processing records relating to the Receivables originated by it with a legend properly evidencing that the Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to appropriately disclose in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to the Buyer. Upon the request of the Buyer, the Seller will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate perfect and maintain the perfection of the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by such Seller and the Related Security with respect thereto, or as the Buyer may reasonably request.

AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of January 7, 2003, is by and among Odetics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and Technology Lending Partners, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Buyer”). This Agreement is intended to amend and modify the terms of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Original Agreement”) dated October 18, 2002 among Seller and Buyer as described herein. Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I of the Original Agreement.

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

 

A.The parties hereto intend to amend the Original Agreement to provide for an additional purchase of specific accounts receivables (the “Receivables”), which are listed in Schedule I attached hereto, and that all transfers of such Receivables hereunder, be true sales to the Buyer by the Seller of the Receivables originated by it, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables, and the Seller and the Buyer do not intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as loans from the Buyer to the Seller. Reference to “Receivables” in this Agreement shall mean the accounts receivable that are described in Schedule I attached hereto

 

B. The parties intend that the purchase of the Receivables herein shall be governed by all of the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement except as specifically provided for herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a) Effective on the Closing Date, in consideration for the purchase price to be paid to the Seller and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer does hereby purchase from the Seller, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the Closing Date, the Buyer shall acquire all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables, together with all of the Seller’s rights in and to all Related Security relating thereto. The Buyer shall be obligated to pay the purchase price for the Receivables purchased hereunder from the Seller in accordance with Section 2 herein.

2

 

provides the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by the Seller. The sale of Receivables hereunder by the Seller is made with recourse to Seller as described herein, and this sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Seller or any Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and /or other Related Security or any other obligations of the Seller. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the purchase of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, the Seller agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1 (e)(ii) of the Original Agreement, xxxx its master data processing records relating to the Receivables originated by it with a legend properly evidencing that the Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to appropriately disclose in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to the Buyer. Upon the request of the Buyer, the Seller will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate perfect and maintain the perfection of the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by such Seller and the Related Security with respect thereto, or as the Buyer may reasonably request.

 

2.  Payment for the Purchase.
