EXHIBIT 10.16
MASTER PURCHASE ORDER ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made on the 13th day of September, 2002, by and between
TRANSCAP TRADE FINANCE, an Illinois general partnership (the "CONTRACTOR") and
NOTIFY TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a California corporation (the "MANUFACTURER"), as
follows:
BACKGROUND OF AGREEMENT:
A. The parties have signed an agreement in principle to enter into a
purchase order assignment program under which the Manufacturer will
assign customer purchase orders to the Contractor and request the
Contractor to purchase the required materials to fulfill such purchase
orders; the Contractor will retain the Manufacturer to manufacture,
process and ship ordered goods; and fees will be paid to the
Manufacturer for its services upon payment to the Contractor for the
goods.
B. The parties desire to enter into a formal agreement to set forth the
terms and provisions of the purchase order assignment program.
THEREFORE, in consideration of the services to be performed, the
payments to be made, and the obligations to be assumed as set forth in this
Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. In this Agreement, the following frequently used
terms are defined as set forth in this paragraph 1:
(a) The "CERTIFICATE" means the Purchase Order Package
Certificate required to be delivered with each request for assignment of a
purchase order. The form of Certificate is attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof.
(b) With respect to each purchase order submitted for
assignment hereunder, the Certificate will define the "PRODUCT" (the end product
to be delivered to the customer), the "CUSTOMER" (the business entity which
issues the purchase order), the "MATERIALS" (the materials required to produce
the Product), the "PREMISES" (Manufacturer's facility or such independent
warehouse as may be required by the Contractor where the Materials will be
delivered and Products will be produced), the "P.O. PRICE" (the purchase price
to be paid by the Customer for the Products), the "P.O. DELIVERY DATE" (the date
on which Products are to be delivered to the Customer as set forth in the
Certificate), and the "MATERIALS DELIVERY DATE" (the date on which the Materials
are to be delivered to the Manufacturer as set forth in the Certificate). In
those instances in which the Manufacturer is primarily engaged in the
warehousing and distribution business, Materials and Products may refer to the
same goods.
(c) A purchase order delivered to the Manufacturer in the ordinary
course of its business is as a "P.O." A P.O. which meets all of the requirements
of paragraph 3 below is deemed to be unconditionally accepted by Contractor and
is referred to as an "ACCEPTED P.O." The date on which the Contractor delivers
notice of acceptance of the assignment of the P.O. is referred to as the
"ACCEPTANCE DATE". When an Accepted P.O. is made null and void pursuant to this
Agreement, it is referred to as a "CANCELED P.O." Under certain circumstances,
when a P.O. is not assignable to the Contractor, the Contractor will accept an
assignment of the proceeds of the P.O. In such cases, the terms P.O. and
Accepted P.O. will mean the proceeds of such P.O. or Accepted P.O. as the case
may be.
(d) A financial institution engaged in the practice of lending
sums to the Manufacturer secured at least in part by Manufacturer's accounts
receivable is referred to as the "ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE LENDER". The existing
Accounts Receivable Lender involved in this transaction (if any) is identified
on Addendum I attached hereto. A "SENIOR LENDER" is any financial institution
(including the Accounts Receivable Lender) which is engaged in lending sums to
the Manufacturer from time to time secured by liens on some or all of the
Manufacturer's assets. Each existing Senior Lender involved in this transaction
(if any) is also identified on Addendum I.
(e) The inventory of Products produced for satisfaction of a P.O.
is referred to as the "P.O. INVENTORY"; the invoice rendered upon delivery of
Products pursuant to a P.O. is referred to as the "P.O. INVOICE"; and payments
received on account of P.O. Invoices (whether paid by the Customer, the Accounts
Receivable Lender, the Manufacturer, or any other party) are referred to as the
"P.O. PROCEEDS".
(f) The Manufacturer may repurchase an Accepted P.O. pursuant to
paragraph 8(b) below. In the absence of such repurchase, an Accepted P.O.
becomes a "DELINQUENT P.O." if the P.O. Price is not paid to the Contractor by
the earliest of (i) the due date for payment of the P.O. Invoice, (ii)
seventy-five (75) days following the Funding Date if Contractor issues its
letter of credit or purchase order, (iii) thirty (30) days following the Funding
Date if Contractor advances funds by other than issuing its letter of credit or
purchase order, or (iv) the date on which the Accepted P.O. is canceled.
(g) If a lock box collection procedure is established pursuant to
this Agreement, the term "LOCK BOX" refers to the Contractor's lock box account;
and the term "LOCK BOX BANK" means the bank at which the Contractor establishes
the Lock Box and so notifies Manufacturer in writing. The Lock Box and Lock Box
Bank involved in this transaction (if any) are identified on Addendum II
attached hereto.
(h) The "FUNDING DATE" is the date on which the Contractor makes
its first Materials purchase in connection with an Accepted P.O. or issues its
letter of credit or purchase order or otherwise advances funds to or for the
benefit of or on account of an Accepted P.O., whichever is earlier. The
"CLEARANCE DATE" is the date on which the Contractor (or the Lock Box Bank) has
received full payment of the P.O. Price in connection with an Accepted P.O. in
fully collected funds.
(i) The Manufacturer will perform its obligations in accordance
with the "MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS" which are set forth on Exhibit "B"
attached hereto and will be paid a "MANUFACTURER'S FEE" computed in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph 7(c) below. The Manufacturer's obligations are
secured by a "SECURITY AGREEMENT" described in paragraph 10 below.
-2-
(j) The Contractor will be paid a "COMMITMENT FEE" (computed and
paid pursuant to paragraph 6 below), the "CONTRACTOR'S DEAL FEES" (computed and
paid pursuant to paragraph 7 below), and "CONTRACTOR'S EXPENSES" (computed and
paid pursuant to paragraph 9 below). For purposes of computing the waiver of
portions of the Commitment Fee, the term "PRODUCT VOLUME" means the aggregate of
(a) the face amounts of all letters of credit issued by Contractor plus (b) the
aggregate amount of funds advanced by Contractor by other than issuing its
letters of credit, in connection with an Accepted P.O. for which a P.O. Invoice
is issued on or before the date on which payment of the Commitment Fee is due,
and "MINIMUM VOLUME" means Product Volume which equals or exceeds $2,250,000.
(k) The "SECURITY DEPOSIT" (as defined in paragraph 3(b)(i)) and
the "ADDITIONAL SECURITY DEPOSIT" (as defined in paragraph 3(b)(i)) will be
maintained in accordance with paragraph 10.1.
2. SUBMISSION OF P.O.'S FOR ASSIGNMENT. Subject to the terms of
this Agreement, the Manufacturer may request that the Contractor accept an
assignment of each P.O. submitted to and accepted by Manufacturer and make
Material purchases to fulfill the P.O. Each such request shall be made pursuant
to a completed and signed Certificate delivered to the Contractor.

paragraph 3, Contractor agrees to accept or decline acceptance of the assignment
of a P.O. submitted to Contractor pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 2
above (in Contractor's absolute discretion) by delivery of written notice to
Manufacturer. Contractor will use its best efforts to deliver such acceptance by

of capital required to purchase Materials and deliver Products to a Customer in
connection with the P.O. minus the lesser of 58% of the P.O. Price or 90% of the
advance to be made by the Receivable Lender for such P.O. Price (the sum of (A)
and (B) being referred to herein as the "Security Deposit"), and shall deposit
with the Contractor (or, at Manufacturer's discretion, may deposit with the
applicable vendor of Materials) an amount equal to $4.00 per unit (such amount,
if deposited with Contractor, is referred to herein as the "Additional Security
Deposit");
(ii) Manufacturer shall have on deposit with
Contractor a Security Deposit and, if required, an Additional Security Deposit
as set forth in paragraph 10.1 hereof.
(iii) Upon the purchase of Materials
required for the P.O., or upon any other advance of funds in connection with the

(iv) An original, signed copy of the Certificate
shall have been delivered to the Contractor;
(v) All information contained on the Certificate
shall be verified by Contractor to ensure (to Contractor's satisfaction) that

P.O. is bona fide (which verification may include, without limitation, direct
confirmation from the Customer and any vendors); and
(vi) The Manufacturer shall have delivered to the
Contractor such additional information and documentation as the Contractor may
have from time to time requested.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this paragraph 3, the
Contractor's acceptance of the assignment of a P.O. shall be made null and void
and the P.O. shall be deemed a Canceled P.O. upon the occurrence of any one of
the following:
(i) The failure of the Contractor to obtain
accepted orders for Materials at prices and on other terms and conditions
acceptable to the Contractor within five (5) business days following the
Acceptance Date, and Contractor's notice to the Manufacturer thereof. Upon
delivery of such notice to Manufacturer, Contractor's rights and interests in
and to the P.O. will be terminated absolutely and Contractor shall have no
obligation whatsoever to Manufacturer with respect to such P.O.;
(ii) The failure of a vendor of Materials to
deliver Materials which conform to Contractor's specifications to the Premises
on or before the Material Delivery Date. Upon such failure of delivery,
Contractor shall have the right to require Manufacturer to purchase the
Materials from Contractor and shall assign to Manufacturer the right to receive
those Materials which have not then arrived at the Premises;
(iii) The cancellation of the P.O. prior to
delivery of Products to the Customer. Upon such cancellation, Manufacturer shall

meet each of the requirements of subparagraph (b) above unless otherwise waived
by the Contractor, and (iv) none of the events described in subparagraph (c)

conditions is satisfied in full, Contractor's acceptance of an assigned P.O.
shall be deemed conditional and subject to revocation at any time.
4. APPOINTMENT OF MANUFACTURER.
(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, with

Accepted P.O.) Contractor hereby appoints the Manufacturer as Contractor's
exclusive source for acceptance of Materials at the Premises, and for performing
or causing to be performed in accordance with the Manufacturer's Specifications

Materials from Contractor within three (3) days following Contractor's notice
for a purchase price equal to Contractor's costs for the Materials; or
(ii) If Manufacturer fails to make such
purchase of Materials, such Materials shall be sold by Contractor and the
proceeds thereof applied first to Contractor's costs for the Materials, and the
balance, if any, to Manufacturer.
5. PAYMENT AND RE-ASSIGNMENT.
(a) Upon delivery of Products to the Customer pursuant to an
Accepted P.O., Manufacturer shall issue a P.O. Invoice (and deliver any other
related documents required by the applicable P.O. for issuance of an invoice on
account of such P.O.) to the Customer for the full P.O. Price. Upon Contractor's
direction, the P.O. Invoice so issued shall be in the name of the Contractor and

pursuant to the terms of paragraph 8 below.
6. COMMITMENT FEE.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 6, Manufacturer
shall pay Contractor a Commitment Fee in consideration of Contractor's
commitment to reserve and have available sufficient funds to purchase Materials
or to otherwise advance funds in connection with a P.O. for Product Volume in
amounts equal to or exceeding the Minimum Volume as contemplated by this
Agreement. The Commitment Fee shall be in the sum of $61,875 and shall be paid
by Manufacturer on the earlier of twelve months following the date of this
Agreement or the date of termination of this Agreement. In the event the term of
this Agreement is renewed for one or more twelve month renewal terms, for each
such renewal, Manufacturer shall pay Contractor a Commitment Fee in the sum of
$61,875, which fee shall be paid by Manufacturer on the earlier of twelve months
following the date of the renewal of this Agreement or the date of termination
of this Agreement. The Commitment Fee for the initial term of this Agreement is
deemed by the parties to have been earned by the Contractor upon the signing of
this Agreement, as of which date the Contractor has reserved the requisite
funds. The Commitment Fee for each renewal term of this Agreement is deemed by
the parties to have been earned by the Contractor upon each renewal date of this
Agreement, as of which date the Contractor has reserved the requisite funds.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) above,
all or a portion of the Commitment Fee shall be waived in accordance with the
provisions of this subparagraph (b). If Product Volume for the initial term or
any renewal thereof as of the due date for payment of the Commitment Fee equals
or exceeds the Minimum Volume, the entire Commitment Fee shall be waived by the
Contractor. If Product Volume for the initial term or any renewal thereof as of
the due date for payment of the Commitment Fee does not equal or exceed the
Minimum Volume, Contractor shall waive that portion of the Commitment Fee equal
to the Commitment Fee multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Product Volume as of the due date for payment of the Commitment Fee, and the
denominator of which is the Minimum Volume.
