ASSIGNMENT OF MONIES DUE
UNDER FACTORING AGREEMENT
This Agreement made on July 21, 2000, by and among TRANSCAP TRADE
FINANCE ("Transcap"), MAJESCO SALES, INC. ("Client"), and XXXXXXXXX & XXXXXXXXX,
INC. ("Factor"), as follows:
WHEREAS, Client and Factor have entered into a certain Factoring
Agreement dated April 1989 (the "Factoring Agreement"), pursuant to which Client
from time to time assigns certain of its accounts receivables to Factor pursuant
to written account schedules ("Account Schedules") in the form and upon the
terms described in the Factoring Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Client and Transcap have entered into a Master Purchase Order
Assignment dated July 21, 2000 (as may be amended, restated or otherwise
modified from time to time, the "Transcap Agreement") pursuant to which Client
will from time to time assign purchase orders received from certain of its
customers to Transcap and Transcap will purchase the goods specified in the
assigned purchase orders (a "Transcap Transaction"); and
WHEREAS, the sale of goods to customers in a Transcap Transaction will
give rise to receivables ("Transcap Receivables"), which Transcap and Client
desire that Client sell and assign to Factor under the Factoring Agreement; and
WHEREAS, at the time that the Transcap Receivables are sold and
assigned by Client to Factor and accepted by Factor, Client will be the sole
owner of the Transcap Receivables; and
WHEREAS, at the time that the Transcap Receivables are sold and
assigned by Client to Factor and accepted by Factor, Transcap is relying on
Factor's internal policies and procedures with respect to the collection of the
Transcap Receivables sold and assigned by Client to Factor;
WHEREAS, Client desires to assign to Transcap all monies due under the
Factoring Agreement arising from the sale of the Transcap Receivables; and
WHEREAS, Transcap and Factor wish to memorialize their agreement
concerning the relative seniority of their liens in certain assets of Client,
including the Transcap Receivables;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good an valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Factoring Agreement,
Factor shall establish two accounts for Client: account #5850 ("#1 Account") and
account #5854 (#2 Account").
2. So long as this Agreement is in effect, all Account Schedules will
require two signatures, one by a representative of client and one by a
representative of Transcap. Factor shall have no responsibility to check or
otherwise verify the authenticity of the signators or the signatures.
3. (a) Client will sell and assign all Transcap Receivables to Factor
on a separate Account Schedule which contains only Transcap Receivables. Client
represents to Factor that all Transcap Receivables appearing or referred to on
an Account Schedule are owned solely by Client. Upon receipt and acceptance of
an Account Schedule which pertains to Transcap Receivables, Factor shall
determine whether it will remit the collected proceeds pertaining thereto to
Transcap pursuant to Section 4(a) below, or whether it will lend upon such
Transcap Receivables pursuant to Section 4(b) below. All Transcap Receivables
which Factor determines it will lend upon pursuant to Section 4(b) below, as
well as all other Client receivables, shall be credited by Factor to the #1
Account. All Transcap Receivables for which Factor will remit the collected
proceeds to Transcap pursuant to Section 4(a) below will be credited by Factor
to the #2 Account.
(b) Factor acknowledges that Transcap is relying upon Factor for the
collection of all Transcap Receivables credited by Factor to the #2 Account.
Factor shall use and follow, with respect to the collection of accounts
receivable credited by Factor to the #2 Account all of Factor's customary
internal policies and procedures which Factor uses and employs in connection
with accounts receivable of Client sold and assigned to Factor by Client
pursuant to the Factoring Agreement whether credited by Factor to the #1 Account
or the #2 Account. In the event Factor fails to follow any of its customary
internal policies and procedures which it uses and employs in connection with
accounts receivables, and such failure results (i) in any monies in the #2
Account being paid by Factor to Client in breach of this Agreement, or (ii) in
any account debtor remitting to Client the amount due on any invoice issued with
respect to an account receivable sold and assigned by Client to Factor, Factor
shall nevertheless pay to Transcap all amounts which otherwise should have been
paid by Factor to Transcap. Factor shall, in accordance with the Factoring
Agreement, determine whether or not to credit approve accounts receivable sold
and assigned by Client in accordance with the Factoring Agreement whether such
accounts receivable are to be credited to the #1 Account or the #2 Account.
4. (a) To secure Client's obligations and indebtedness now or hereafter
owing to Transcap, Client hereby assigns to Transcap all of Client's rights,
title and interest in and to all monies now or hereafter remitted or otherwise
due to Client by Factor pursuant to the Factoring Agreement under #2 Account.
Client and Transcap acknowledge and agree that Factor will remit monies to
Transcap at Transcap's request on the #2 Account only when, as and to the extent
that proceeds of Transcap Receivables are paid and deposited in the #2 Account.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section
4(a) above, Factor, in it sole discretion, may lend money to Client based upon
the Transcap Receivable(s). Upon receipt by Transcap of a wire transfer within
five (5) business days of the date of the Account Schedule assigning a Transcap
Receivable which has been executed by Client and Transcap, in an amount equal to
the cost of the goods purchased or financed pursuant to a Transcap Transaction,
and the interest, fees, commissions, expenses and other amounts owing to
Transcap by Client (collectively, the "Designated Amount"), which Designated
Amount shall be communicated in writing by Transcap to Factor, Transcap will
without any further action subordinate its lien on the assets set forth in
Sections 9(b)(i)-(iii) below which pertain solely to the Transcap Receivables
reflected on such Account Schedule.
2
(c) Client hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Transcap to
ask, demand, receive, receipt, and give acquittance for any and all monies
assigned pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b). Factor agrees to pay such monies to
Transcap, and Client hereby authorizes Factor to recognize Transcap's claims to
rights hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by
Transcap or the validity or the amount of the obligations or the existence of
any default or the application to be made by Transcap of any monies paid to
Transcap.
5. Client hereby authorizes and directs Factor to remit all monies
otherwise advanced, remitted or payable to Client pursuant to the Factoring
Agreement under the #2 Account to Transcap by wire transfer pursuant to the wire
instructions attached hereto. Payment when so made and credited by Factor shall
constitute full payment of said monies to Client and Factor shall be without
further obligation to Client or Transcap therefor.
6. Factor shall, after the end of each month, send Transcap a copy of
its monthly statements for #1 Account and #2 Account rendered to Client,
provided that Factor shall have no liability to Transcap for negligently or
inadvertently failing to furnish such copies. Transcap acknowledges that all
such monthly statements and information contained therein are generated and
created solely for Factor's own use. Factor makes no representations or
warranties whatsoever as to the accuracy of such monthly statements and the
information contained therein or the validity of any collateral or the financial
condition of Client. In addition, Factor shall have no obligation or liability
to Client or Transcap to monitor or verify that all Transcap Receivables are in
fact assigned by Client pursuant to a separate Account Schedule or that the #2
Account contains only Transcap Receivables. To the extent that Transcap relies
on any information contained in the monthly statements, Transcap acknowledges
and agrees that it does so at its own risk.
7. Client and Transcap acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver or modification of any of Factor's rights under the
Factoring Agreement, including, but not limited to, Factor's right to deduct
from or to set off against monies otherwise advanced, remitted or due to Client
under the Factoring Agreement, or to reserve for, any and all indebtedness owing
from Client to Factor under the Factoring Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Factor agrees that during the term of this Agreement, unless
consented to by Transcap, Factor shall not deduct from or set off against any
moneys payable under the Factoring Agreement on account of the #2 Account any
liability or obligation of Client under the Factoring Agreement arising from or
in relation the #1 Account or any other obligation owed by Client to Factor
unrelated to the Transcap Receivable proceeds deposited into the #2 Account.
8. Clients and Transcap understand and acknowledge that Factor's
agreement to advance funds under the Factoring Agreement and to transmit such
funds to Transcap as set forth above is an accommodation by Factor to Client and
that, except as set forth in this Agreement, Factor shall not, in any way, be
liable to Client or Transcap if, through inadvertence, error or any other reason
the remittances to Transcap are not in the proper amount or percentage. It is
further understood and agreed that Factor is under no obligation to make any
advances under the Factoring Agreement, whether due to Client's failure to be
"in-formula" or lack of collections or any reason whatsoever and to the extent
Client or Transcap rely on such advances being made, each does so at its own
risk.

9. (a) Except as provided in Section 9(b) below, the security interest
and lien of Factor in the Factor Collateral (as hereinafter defined) is and
shall remain superior and prior in right to any security interest or lien of
Transcap and, subject to Section 9(b), Transcap hereby subordinates in favor of
Factor all right, title and interest that Transcap may now have or hereafter
acquires in and on any such assets or property which constitute Factor
Collateral. "Factor Collateral" means all of Client's inventory, accounts,
contract rights, and general intangibles (whether or not specifically assigned
to Factor), now existing and hereafter arising, and the proceeds thereof, and
security and guarantees therefor, and the goods and property represented
thereby, and all books and records relating to the foregoing, and all sums of
money at any time to Client's credit with Factor, and all Client's present and
future claims against Factor under or in connection with the Factoring
Agreement, and any of Client's property at any time in Factor's possession, but
specifically excluding the items set forth in Sections 9(b)(i), (ii), (iii),
(iv), and (v) below, and any and all present and future credit balances and
reserves held by Factor for the Client's account in connection therewith.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(a), the security
interest and lien of Transcap in the Transcap Primary Collateral (as hereinafter
defined) is and shall remain superior and prior in right to any security
interest or lien of Factor in such property. Factor hereby subordinates in favor
of Transcap all right, title and interest that Factor may now have or hereafter
acquire in the following property now owned or hereafter acquired by Client
(hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Transcap Primary Collateral"):
(i) inventory of raw materials, work-in-process, finished
goods, and goods in transit which are clearly identifiable to purchase
orders purchased by Transcap in a Transcap Transaction ("Transcap
Inventory");
(ii) the documents of title in the possession of Transcap or
its agents related to Transcap Inventory;
(iii) the contract rights of Client to supply Transcap
Inventory to customers pursuant to purchase orders purchased by
Transcap in a Transcap Transaction, to the extent such contract rights
are not yet earned by performance (i.e., shipment to such customer of
goods covered by such purchase orders); and
(iv) the proceeds of the #2 Account.
Until Client's obligations to Transcap are paid in full (including any
post-petition interest owned to Transcap by Client's estate), Factor shall not,
without Transcap's prior written consent, assert or seek to enforce, by legal
proceedings or otherwise, any security interest or other rights that it may now
have or hereafter acquire with respect to the Transcap Primary Collateral or
receive or retain any payments from the proceeds thereof. The provisions
described in this Section 9(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and shall remain in full force and effect until all obligations and indebtedness
owing by Client to Transcap are paid to Transcap in full.
(c) On a monthly basis, Transcap shall identify the Transcap
Transactions to which this Agreement supplies by means of one or more addenda
hereto in the form of the Purchase Order Package Certificate attached as Exhibit
A to the Transcap Agreement.
4
(d) With respect to all purchase orders and invoices rendered
in connection with the inventory of finished goods described in Section 9(b)(i)
above, Transcap hereby sells and assigns to Client all of its right, title, and
interest in and to all such purchase orders and invoices upon the shipment of
such inventories to customers of Client and acceptance of the Account Schedules
by Factor.
10. Client agrees that, from and after the date on which Transcap gives
notice to Factor that Transcap has declared Client to be in default, all monies
due Client by Factor under the #1 Account shall be payable to Transcap, and
Client hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Transcap to ask, demand,
receive, receipt, and give acquittance for any and all monies hereby assigned.
Factor agrees to pay such monies to Transcap, and Client hereby authorizes
Factor to recognize Transcap's claims to rights hereunder without investigating
the reason for any action taken by Transcap or the validity or the amount of the
obligations or the existence of any default or the application to be made by
Transcap of any of the monies paid to Transcap.
11. The subordination and relative priorities of Factor and Transcap
under this Agreement shall apply regardless of the time or manner of perfection
of their respective security interests and are expressly conditioned upon the
non-avoidability of any security interest to which another interest is
subordinated. If any such security interest is avoidable for any reasons, then
the subordination granted in this Agreement with respect to the subject
collateral shall not be effective.
12. Client and Factor agree that, upon notice to Factor by Transcap
that Transcap has declared Client to be in default with respect to any Transcap
Transaction, all reports and notices delivered by Factor to Client shall also be
delivered by Factor, at Client's expense, to Transcap. Factor and Client further
agree that following the termination of the Factoring Agreement and the payment
in full of all obligations of Client to Factor thereunder, Factor will remit all
moneys due to Client to Transcap.
13. Client hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Transcap to
endorse any checks or other orders for the payment of money payable to Client.
Client agrees that it will, at all times hereafter at the request of Transcap,
make, do and execute all such further acts, agreements, assurances and other
documents and instruments as shall be reasonably required to enable Transcap to
receive all ILLEGIBLE due or to become due under or in connection with the
Factoring Agreement, according to the intent and purpose of this Agreement.
14. Client hereby authorizes Factor to recognize Transcap's claims to
rights hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by
Transcap or the validity or the amount of the obligations or the acceptance of
any default or the application to be made by Transcap of any of the amounts paid
to Transcap. Client shall indemnify and hold Factor harmless from and against
any and all claims, demands, causes of action, obligations, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses including attorney's fees that may be asserted
against or incurred by Factor with respect to or in any way arising from
Factor's compliance with any demand or direction of Transcap relating to payment
of monies due under the Factoring Agreement.
5
15. Client warrants and represents to Factor and Transcap that it has
not as the date hereof made, executed or delivered any other assignment of the
monies covered by this Agreement.
16. CLIENT, FACTOR AND TRANSCAP ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY
CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT RELATED
HERETO OR WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY WOULD
BE BASED UPON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE
THAT ANY COURT PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY SUCH CONTROVERSY WILL BE TRIED IN A
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
17. Factor shall not be obligated to make any payment to Transcap
hereunder, if any such payment is enjoined, restraining, or stayed by any court
or by any statute or governmental rule or regulation.
18. Transcap hereby acknowledges that Factor has made no
representations or warranties as to Client's financial condition, business
affairs, nor has Factor in any way induced Transcap to make, enter into
agreements with or make advances on behalf of Client. Furthermore, in so
requesting, authorizing and directing Factor to pay to Transcap monies due
Client under the Factoring Agreement, Client and Transcap acknowledge and agree
that Factor has no liability whatsoever to Client or Transcap with respect to
Client's obligations to Transcap whether now existing or hereunder arising and
Client and Transcap exonerate and agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and
hold Factor harmless from and against any liability for same. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed as effecting a joint venture, partnership or
participation between Factor and Transcap.
19. In the event any suit or action is initiated to enforce or
interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover from the other party such ILLEGIBLE as the court may
determine reasonable as attorneys' fees, at trial and in any applicable
proceeding, proceeding under the bankruptcy code or receivership, in addition to
all other sums provided by law.
20. This Agreement represents the complete understanding of the parties
and it cannot be modified, in whole or in part, accept by a writing executed by
all parties. This Agreement shall continue in effect until Factor receives
written article to the contrary from both Client and Transcap.
21. (a) Factor agrees to provide Transcap with a copy of any notice of
default pursuant to or termination of the Factoring Agreement which Factor sends
to Client; provided, however, that Factor shall have no liability to Transcap
for failing to furnish such copy provided such failure is not willful.
(b) Transcap agrees to provide Factor with a copy of any notice of
default pursuant to or termination of the Transcap Agreement which Transcap
sends to Client; provided, however, that Transcap shall have no liability to
Factor for failing to furnish such copy provided such failure is not willful.
6
22. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, admissible
into evidence. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telefacsimile shall also deliver a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement, but the failure to deliver a manually executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, through their duly authorized
officers, have executed this Assignment of Monies Due under Factoring Agreement
as of the date and year first above written.
