If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, there is an event of default by Customer including, but not limited to, a Federal Tax Lien filed against and attaching to the property of Customer or any of its principals, and the tax lien is satisfied to allow continued funding pursuant to this Agreement, until such time as such event of default is cured, SYSTRAN shall increase all of Customers’ Service Fee(s) by no less than *** discount fee on the face of The Xxxx(s).

Exhibit A
To Factoring Agreement Dated February 8, 2007
The terms used in this Exhibit A have the same definitions as those used in the Factoring Agreement. In case of conflict of definition, the definitions in this Exhibit “A” shall prevail.
All fees referred to below shall collectively be referred to as “Service Fees.”
Funds Employed:
Customer will pay a fee at an annual rate equal to *** per annum of all funds employed to purchase Bills (the “Prime Plus Fee”). “Prime” means the greater of: (i) the Prime Rate or (ii) ***. The Prime Plus Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in each month. Funds employed shall be calculated by SYSTRAN on a daily basis based upon bills unpaid and outstanding, less the Deposit. A change in the Prime Plus Fee due to a Prime Rate change will be effective upon the date of the change (subject to any maximum or minimum limitation on fees specified by applicable law), which will be indicated on the settlement statement. “Prime Rate” means the prime commercial rate of interest per annum as announced from time to time by the Wall Street Journal as the prevailing “Prime Rate,” from time to time in effect. If the Prime Rate is reflected as a range, then the Prime Rate as defined herein shall be the highest amount in said range. SYSTRAN shall have the right, from time to time, to designate any other reference source as the reference for determining the Prime Rate under this Agreement.
Managed Account:
A managed account shall also be created for all Bills that SYSTRAN does not purchase and all Bills which Customer does not factor (the “Managed Account”). The Deposit on the Managed Account is ***.
The above Service Fees may be deducted from Customers’ funding pursuant to the Factoring Agreement or SYSTRAN may xxxx Customer.

Customer and SYSTRAN agree to modify Section 20, “EXPENSES,” by adding a new Paragraph 20.6 to the Agreement as follows:
One or more employees or agents of SYSTRAN may perform field examinations of the books, records and other assets of Customer. SYSTRAN may perform such field examinations every 120 days (3 times each year), unless Customer shall default under the terms of the Factoring Agreement. After a default, no limit shall apply to the number of field examinations that SYSTRAN may perform. Customer shall pay to SYSTRAN a field examination fee (the “Field Examination Fee”) at the standard rate established by SYSTRAN from time to time (which standard rate is currently in an amount equal to *** for each day spent by each such employee or agent in performing and/or summarizing the results of such examination, including all necessary travel time) plus all “out of pocket” expenses. Each Field Examination Fee shall be payable by Customer to SYSTRAN, in whole or in part, as appropriate, on the date(s) on which such field examination was performed.
The remainder of Section 20 shall remain as originally written.
Customer and Systran agree to modify Section 21, “JURISDICTION AND VENUE”, by adding language as follows:
