PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT/SECURITY AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.40

Amegy Bank National Association

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT/SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT/ SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made by and among AMEGY BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Purchaser”) and XXXXXXXX.XXX, INC. also dba VIEWCAST CORPORATION and OSPREY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and VIDEOWARE, INC. (whether one or more, “Seller”).

WHEREAS, Seller desires from time to time to sell accounts receivable and other rights to Purchaser, thereby engaging in account purchase transactions as set forth in Sections 306.001(1) and 306.103 of the Texas Finance Code; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into an agreement which will control their course of dealing with respect to the purchase and sale of such accounts receivable and other rights;

NOW, THEREFORE, Purchaser and Seller do hereby agree, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, as follows:

Section 1. Purchase and Sale of Accounts Receivable and other Rights.

Seller hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby purchases and receives from Seller free and clear of any liens or Disputes (as defined below), all rights, title and interests of Seller in the accounts receivable and other forms of rights to payment described on Schedule “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof (the specific accounts receivable and rights to payment described on Schedule “A” being herein called the “Receivables”). Seller represents and warrants that true and correct copies of the invoices for the Receivables are attached to Schedule “A”. Future purchases and sales of accounts receivable and other rights will be based on the completion and execution of additional schedules in form similar to Schedule “A”. Upon execution by both Purchaser and Seller (or any one of Seller, if more than one) of such a schedule, the accounts receivable or other rights described therein shall become Receivables subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement. Any amounts advanced by Purchaser pursuant to any future purchase and sale of accounts receivable and other items will be deemed to be a future advance by Purchaser, and the corresponding obligations of the Seller with respect to such accounts receivable and other rights shall be deemed to be an obligation covered by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the creation of a security interest herein, as defined below, Purchaser shall not be a fiduciary of Seller, and the relationship of the parties hereto shall be that of Purchaser and Seller of accounts, and not that of lender and borrower.

Section 2. Charge-Back; Repurchase Obligation.

Purchaser shall have the right to charge back any Receivable to Seller and Seller shall have the obligation to repurchase such Receivable (“Charge-Back”), if (a) the Receivable is not paid to Purchaser within 90 days from date of purchase by Purchaser, or (b) any Dispute arises with respect to such Receivable, or (c) Seller or Purchaser discovers or determines that any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or in any document executed in connection with this Agreement (the “Purchase Documents”) is false or misleading, or (d) Seller breaches any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any Purchase Document or is otherwise in default hereof. “Dispute,” as used herein, means any dispute, deduction, claim, offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind pertaining to the Receivable or to the goods or services giving rise thereto asserted by the party obligated thereon, regardless of the final outcome or merit thereof. Upon Charge-Back of any Receivable, Seller shall pay to Purchaser on demand an amount equal to the Gross Amount of the Receivable (the face amount of the Receivable), less rebate of Discount, if any, less any payments made on such invoice to Purchaser. Purchaser may, in its discretion, in addition to the right of setoff which is hereby retained, subtract all or any portion of such amount from any refund, rebate or other obligation owed by Purchaser to Seller, subtract such amount from the Purchase Price for the next Receivable sold, or otherwise charge Seller for such amount. Upon Purchaser’s receipt of the amount required by this Section, in collected funds, ownership of the Receivable shall re-vest in Seller, subject to Purchaser’s security interest and rights of recoupment and/or setoff.

Section 3. Invoices; Collection; Power of Attorney.

If requested by Purchaser, Purchaser shall mail all invoices to Seller’s customers in each instance relating to any Receivable and any other accounts receivable of Seller, and Seller shall provide the original invoice and one copy to Purchaser ready for mailing to the customers. All invoices relating to any Receivable and any other accounts receivable of Seller shall plainly state on their face in language acceptable to Purchaser that the amounts payable thereunder are to be paid to a post office box owned and controlled by Purchaser, to be provided by Purchaser. If requested by Purchaser, Seller agrees to furnish the original purchase order or other similar documents from Seller’s customer, evidence of shipment of the related merchandise or performance of services rendered and a written assignment of any Receivable, all in a form satisfactory to Purchaser. If requested by Purchaser, all invoices relating to Receivables and any other accounts receivable shall plainly state on their faces in language acceptable to Purchaser that the amounts payable thereunder have been assigned to and are payable directly to Purchaser. If payment is made to Seller under any circumstance, such payment shall be held in trust by Seller for Purchaser and shall not be negotiated or commingled in any way with the Seller’s funds. Within one Business Day after receipt thereof, Seller shall deliver any such payments to Purchaser in the original form as received by Seller, endorsed as required by Purchaser. Purchaser is hereby irrevocably authorized to open, cash, endorse and otherwise collect all

checks and other forms of payment tendered in payment of each Receivable and in payment of any other accounts receivable, in the name of and as attorney-in-fact for Seller, and to direct Seller’s customers to make payment to a different name and/or location. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest.

Section 4. Recoupment Rights of Purchaser.

Regardless of whether Seller is in default under this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right at all times, in its discretion, to recoup all or any designated portion of the Obligations (hereinafter defined) or any other amounts which Seller may owe to Purchaser in such a manner as Purchaser may determine, at any time and without notice to Seller from:

(a) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or other sums at any time credited by or owing from Purchaser to Seller; and/or

(b) all or any portion of such amount from any refund, rebate or other obligation owed by Purchaser to Seller.

The rights and remedies of Purchaser hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, to the rights of setoff) which Purchaser may have.

Furthermore, in order to satisfy any of the Obligations hereunder, Purchaser is hereby authorized by Seller to initiate electronic debit or credit entries through the ACH system to any deposit account maintained by Seller wherever located.

Section 5. Transfer of Related Interests.

In addition to the Receivables, Seller hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Purchaser all other rights and interests (but not obligations) now or hereafter existing in connection with the Receivables, including, but not limited to liens, security interests and guarantees securing payment of the Receivables, Seller’s interest in returned goods arising with respect to the Receivables, and other rights and remedies of Seller related to the Receivables such as rights of stoppage in transit, replevin, reclamation and lawsuits to collect the Receivables. If any Receivable is ever represented by a promissory note or other written evidence of obligation, Seller shall deliver the same to Purchaser duly endorsed by Seller to Purchaser.

Section 6. Further Assurances.

Seller agrees to execute and deliver to Purchaser such notices of assignment and other documents as Purchaser may request to further document the sale and assignment of Receivables hereunder.

Section 7. No Obligation to Purchase Further Receivables.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller specifically acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has the right to approve or reject future accounts receivable or other items of any kind proposed for sale under this Agreement IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, and no course of conduct shall establish any commitment to purchase future accounts receivable or other items of any kind.

Section 8. Terms – Seller’s Customers.

Except as may otherwise be agreed to from time to time, the terms of all Receivables shall not exceed thirty (30) days. Seller shall not modify or vary the terms of sale, terms of payment, or location of payment set forth in the invoice relating to any Receivable without Purchaser’s written consent.

Section 9. Purchase Price; Discount.

The Purchase Price (herein so called) for the Receivables shall be the Gross Amount of the Invoice minus the Discount. The “Gross Amount of the Invoice” shall mean the total invoice amount, including any miscellaneous charges such as sales taxes and delivery charges, less any early payment or special discounts offered to Seller’s customer. “Discount” means 15% of the Gross Amount of the Invoice. The Purchase Price for any Receivable shall be paid only after execution by Seller and acceptance by Purchaser of a Schedule “A” covering such Receivable. The Discount shall be deemed fully earned upon purchase of each Receivable in consideration of the overall manpower, effort and expense associated with Purchaser’s performance hereunder, which Seller acknowledges is fair and reasonable consideration for the Discount. Furthermore, Seller agrees to pay Purchaser a minimum monthly discount fee of two hundred fifty dollars and no cents ($250.00), beginning the first full month after entering into this Purchase and Sale Agreement / Security Agreement and funding occurs, as well as a minimum invoice fee of $N/A. If, however, funding does not occur within 60 calendar days of execution of the Agreement, the minimum monthly discount fee will nonetheless be paid by Seller and collected by Purchaser for each month thereafter, as long as the Agreement is in force, and regardless of whether or not funding occurs in any given month.

Section 10. Rebate of Discount.

As an inducement for Seller to sell only invoices from which prompt payment can be expected, Purchaser will remit a rebate of part of the Discount as follows:

If the Receivable is paid within 15 days of purchase by Purchaser, a rebate of 14.80% of the Gross Amount of the Invoice LESS a Variable Discount Amount (“Variable Discount Amount”) will be remitted to Seller; If the Receivable is paid within 30 days of purchase by Purchaser, a rebate of 14.60% of the Gross Amount of the Invoice LESS a Variable Discount Amount (“Variable Discount Amount”) will be remitted to Seller; If the Receivable is paid within 45 days of purchase by Purchaser, a rebate of 14.40% of the Gross Amount of the Invoice LESS a Variable Discount Amount (“Variable Discount Amount”) will be remitted to Seller;

If the Receivable is paid within 60 days of purchase by Purchaser, a rebate of 14.20% of the Gross Amount of the Invoice LESS a Variable Discount Amount (“Variable Discount Amount”) will be remitted to Seller; If the Receivable is paid within 75 days of purchase by Purchaser, a rebate of 14.00% of the Gross Amount of the Invoice LESS a Variable Discount Amount (“Variable Discount Amount”) will be remitted to Seller; If the Receivable is paid within 90 days of purchase by Purchaser, a rebate of 13.80% of the Gross Amount of the Invoice LESS a Variable Discount Amount (“Variable Discount Amount”) will be remitted to Seller; If the Receivable is paid within 120 days of purchase by Purchaser, a rebate of 8.80% of the Gross Amount of the Invoice LESS a Variable Discount Amount (“Variable Discount Amount”) will be remitted to Seller.

The Variable Discount Amount shall be computed as Amegy Bank National Association, Prime Rate (the “Index”) plus 1.50% multiplied by The Purchase Price of the Receivable divided by 360 multiplied by the number of collection days. Being a general reference index, the Index is subject to change from time to time as Amegy Bank National Association may deem appropriate. The Index change will not occur more often than each day. The Index currently is 8.25%. Therefore, the initial Variable Discount Amount shall be computed as 9.75% multiplied by The Purchase Price of the Receivable divided by 360 multiplied by the number of collection days for such Receivable. The Index has a floor and at no time shall it be less than 8.25% for the purposes of this agreement. The Variable Discount Amount is subject to change, with prior notice by telephone or facsimile notice from Purchaser to Seller. This amount shall in no way be interpreted or construed as interest but only as a guideline to the Variable Discount Amount charged.

Section 11. Security Interest.

For the purpose of securing Purchaser in the payment of the Obligations (hereinafter defined), Seller hereby grants a lien and security interest to Purchaser in all assets of any kind or type, now owned or hereafter acquired by Seller (the “Collateral”), including but not limited to the following:

(a) All now owned or hereafter acquired accounts and accounts receivable, including but not limited to contracts, notes, drafts, acceptances, instruments, chattel paper, documents, money, deposit accounts, payment intangibles, commercial tort claims, and returned or repossessed goods arising from or relating to any such accounts or accounts receivable and other rights arising from or by virtue of, or from the voluntary or involuntary sale or other disposition of, or collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or proceeds payable by virtue of warranty or other claims against any other person or entity with respect to all or any part of the property heretofore described, proceeds of inventory, and proceeds and products of any of the foregoing in any form.

Terms used in clause (a) above have the meanings assigned in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Texas (the “UCC”). Purchaser shall have all the rights and remedies provided to a secured party under the UCC. Seller and Purchaser agree that to the extent Purchaser exercises or is deemed to exercise its rights under this Agreement as a secured party, Purchaser shall account for the proceeds of the accounts receivable and Receivables, deal with the disposition of the accounts receivable and Receivables, and permit Seller to redeem the accounts receivable and Receivables in the same manner provided for elsewhere in this Agreement. Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations regarding collection and/or disposition of Receivables and accounts receivable and other rights which are described in this Agreement shall fulfill Purchaser’s duties and obligations as a secured party pursuant to Sections 9.601 through 9.604 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code. Purchaser shall not be deemed to accept the accounts receivable and Receivables in discharge of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser unless Purchaser sends Seller express written notice of Purchaser’s intent to do so.

NOTICE — Pursuant to an agreement between debtor and secured party, debtor has agreed not to grant a security interest in the collateral, described herein and in any future commercial tort claims to any other secured party. Accordingly, the acceptance of any such security interest, except as authorized by secured party in writing, by anyone other than the above secured party is likely to constitute the tortious interference with secured party’s rights.

In the event that any entity is granted a security interest in debtor’s accounts and accounts receivable, including but not limited to contracts, notes, drafts, acceptances, instruments, chattel paper, documents, money, deposit accounts, payment intangibles, commercial tort claims, and returned or repossessed goods arising from or relating to any such accounts or accounts receivable and other rights contrary to the above security interest, the secured party asserts a claim to any proceeds thereof received by such entity.

Seller authorizes the Purchaser at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that:

(a) indicate the Collateral as all assets of the Seller or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, or as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail;

(b) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether the Seller is an organization, the type of organization, and any organization identification number issued to the Seller and, (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates;

(c) contain a notification that the Seller has granted a negative pledge to the Purchaser, and that any subsequent lienholder or potential secured party may be tortiously interfering with Purchaser’s rights; and

(d) advises third parties that any notification of Seller’s account debtors will interfere with Purchaser’s collection rights.

In recognition of the Purchaser’s right to have its attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Seller, Purchaser shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of Purchaser’s liens on the Collateral unless and until Seller has executed and delivered to Purchaser a general release in a form acceptable to Purchaser and substantially similar to that Release attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit “A”. Seller understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under Section 9.513 of the UCC.

Seller shall maintain insurance on the Collateral and all other insurable property owned or leased by Seller in the manner, to the extent and against at least such risks (in any event, including but not limited to fire and business interruption insurance) as usually maintained by owners of similar businesses and properties in similar geographic areas. All such insurance shall be in amounts and form and with insurance companies acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion. Seller shall furnish to Purchaser: (a) upon written request, any and all information concerning such insurance carried; (b) as requested by Purchaser, loss payable endorsements (or their equivalent) in favor of Purchaser. All policies of insurance shall provide for not less than thirty (30) day’s prior written cancellation notice to Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the creation of a security interest herein, Purchaser shall not be a fiduciary of Seller. The relationship of the parties hereto is that of Purchaser and Seller of accounts, and not that of lender and borrower.

Section 12. Creation and Enforcement of Payment “Obligations”.

In the event that Purchaser determines in its sole discretion to Charge-Back any Receivable(s) in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, the amount of the Charge-Back, together with any costs incurred by Purchaser described in Section 34 of this Agreement, shall be an obligation secured by the Security Interest contained in Section 11 of this Agreement. All of the obligations described in this Section, as well as any other obligation of Seller to Purchaser whether created heretofore, herewith or hereafter, are defined for purposes of this Agreement as Seller’s “Obligations”.

In the event of a Default under Section 13 of this Agreement the Obligations will bear interest in accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement. Proceeds of disposition of the Collateral shall be applied to pay the Obligations in the order specified in Texas Business and Commerce Code Section 9.615.

Section 13. Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” shall be deemed to exist under this Agreement in the event of any of the following:

(a) any of the events specified in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 2 occur, regardless of whether Purchaser has exercised any right to recoup or Charge-Back in connection with such event, or in the event Purchaser in good xxxxx xxxxx itself insecure;

(b) Purchaser either does not have on hand or believes in good faith that Purchaser will not have on hand sufficient funds of Seller to fully satisfy Seller’s Obligations;

(c) Dissolution, cessation or termination of Seller’s business, or should Seller’s business be placed in receivership or bankruptcy;

(d) The loss, sale, levy, destruction, attachment, seizure or other encumbrance of the Collateral should take place; or

(e) Seller defaults in the payment or performance of any other agreement now or hereafter entered into with Purchaser.

The occurrence of any Event of Default under this Agreement shall be a “Default” which entitles Purchaser to exercise any applicable rights and remedies under:

(a) any security interest granted to Purchaser to secure payment and performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder; and

(b) all other applicable sections of this Agreement or any document executed in connection herewith.

Section 14. Purchaser’s Remedies upon Seller’s Default.

In the event Seller is in Default, Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy available under applicable law, but not the obligation, in Purchaser’s own name, or in the name of Seller, to take any one or more of the following actions, simultaneously or in such sequence as Purchaser shall determine in Purchaser’s sole discretion:

	(a)		exercise all recoupment or setoff rights which Purchaser may have under this Agreement or under applicable law;

	(b)		require Seller to repurchase, for cash or cash equivalent, all or any part of the Receivables sold to Purchaser under this Agreement for the Purchase Price plus the Discount less: (1) any applicable rebates and (2) any payments or collections received on any Receivable;

	(c)		exercise all the rights of a “Financing Agency” who has purchased the Receivables under UCC Section 2.506;

	(d)		proceed, without additional notice to Seller, to foreclose under the Security Agreement and to exercise all other legal and equitable remedies against any Guarantor or other person who may be liable with Seller;

	(e)		exercise all other rights and remedies available to Purchaser.

Purchaser may use the Power of Attorney described in Section 3 of this Agreement in order to exercise any of the remedies described in this Section, which are cumulative and not exclusive.

Section 15. Interest on Obligations.

All Obligations of Seller to Purchaser which become due and unpaid upon Seller’s Default pursuant to Sections 13 and 14 of this Agreement shall bear interest at the rate of 16% (Sixteen per cent) per annum. Interest will accrue on unpaid Obligations during the period beginning on the tenth day following the date on which Purchaser makes demand on Seller to repurchase the Receivable(s) and ending on the date the Obligations are fully satisfied.

Section 16. Verification of Receivables and Accounts; Collection by Purchaser

Purchaser is authorized, but not obligated, to collect, xxx for and give releases for all monies due on all Receivables. Purchaser is authorized to contact Seller’s account debtors at any time for purposes of verification or collection of each Receivable and any of Seller’s other accounts receivable. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to the maximum extent possible to provide information necessary for Purchaser to accomplish this verification or collection. Upon request by Purchaser, Seller shall provide all information requested by Purchaser pertaining to Receivables and other accounts receivable of Seller, including but not limited to copies of invoices, account balances, and names and addresses of account parties. Before or after Default hereunder, as to both Receivables and other accounts receivable of Seller, Purchaser is authorized to forward statements and invoices directly to account debtors, and to direct that payment be made to Purchaser or any other address designated. Seller agrees to furnish Purchaser, upon request, any and all papers, documents or records of whatever nature related directly or indirectly to any Receivable and any other account receivable of Seller, and to cooperate generally in all matters related to the collection of Receivables. In the event any merchandise represented by a Receivable shall be returned to or repossessed by Seller, such merchandise shall be held by Seller in trust for Purchaser, separate and apart from the Seller’s own property, and subject to Purchaser’s directions and control.

Section 19. Other Accounts Receivable.

At the request of Purchaser, Seller shall agree to direct its customers or otherwise cause payments relating to all other accounts receivable (whether purchased hereunder or not) to be directed to Purchaser for processing. Purchaser shall have the right to facilitate this processing by taking all actions necessary to cause all of Seller’s Receivables and any other accounts receivable to be directed to Purchaser and Purchaser may use that Special Power of Attorney described in Section 3 for that purpose. Purchaser may, from time to time, with or without notice, subtract from any such collections any charges or Obligations as defined in this Agreement.

Section 20. Reports.

Purchaser shall prepare and send to Seller by mail or by telephone facsimile or by other means of delivery periodic reports of Purchases & Advances (herein so called) detailing the Receivables purchased.

By similar means, periodic Collection Reports (herein so called) shall be sent to Seller at the discretion of Purchaser detailing for a specific period Receivables collected or charged back and other accounts receivable collected, other debits and credits called for in this Agreement, Discounts charged, rebate of Discounts and, in general, the balance of any amounts owed to or from Seller.

Section 21. Resolution of Disputes; No Assumption of Liability by Purchaser.

Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser of the assertion by any account debtor of any Dispute. Seller shall settle, at its own expense, all Disputes, subject to Purchaser’s approval, but Purchaser shall have the right, in its discretion, to settle any Dispute directly with the account debtor involved upon such terms as Purchaser may deem advisable and at Seller’s expense without waiving Purchaser’s right to Charge-Back any Receivable or to declare a Default, and any deficiency resulting from such settlement shall be the responsibility of Seller.

Seller authorizes Purchaser to accept, indorse and deposit on behalf of Seller any checks tendered by an account debtor “in full payment” of its obligation to Seller. Seller shall not assert against Purchaser any claim arising therefrom, irrespective of whether such action by Purchaser effects an accord and satisfaction of Seller’s claims, under Section 3.311 of the UCC, or otherwise.

Seller specifically acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is not assuming any liability or obligation of any kind to Seller’s customers or in any way relating to the Receivables or any of Seller’s other accounts receivable.

Section 22. SELLER’S INDEMNITY OF PURCHASER. Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its officers, servants, employees, agents, attorneys, principals, directors, affiliates, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses (as hereinafter defined) that any Indemnified Party may suffer, pay or incur as a result of, arising from or connected with any Claim (as hereinafter defined) threatened or asserted against any Indemnified Party, by any person or entity.

For purposes hereof, “Claims” shall mean all, claims, demands, lawsuits, causes of action, choses in action and other legal and administrative actions and proceedings of whatever nature or kind threatened, brought, threatened or asserted against any Indemnified Party whether by reason or in consequence of direct action, counterclaim, cross-claim, third party claim, intervention, interpleader, or otherwise, even if groundless, false, meritless or fraudulent, and whether or not caused directly or indirectly, by any error, omission, act or negligence of any Indemnified Party so long as the claim, lawsuit, cause of action, chose in action or other legal action or proceeding is alleged or determined, directly or indirectly, to arise out of, result from, relate to, or be based upon, in whole or in part: (i) the obligations, duties, responsibilities, activities, acts or omissions of any person or entity, including any Indemnified Party, in connection with this Agreement or any Purchase Document; (ii) any relationship between any Indemnified Party and Seller (or any predecessor or successor-in-interest to Seller); or (iii) any matter whatsoever relating to any of the Receivables, including, without limitation, the use, ownership, sale, conversion, disposition, or collection of all or any portion of the Receivables (including compliance with laws).

For purposes hereof, “Losses” shall mean any losses, costs, damages, expenses, judgments, liabilities, obligations and penalties of whatever nature or kind, including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’ and other professional fees; litigation expenses and court costs and expenses; amounts paid in settlement; amounts paid to discharge judgments, penalties, fines and amounts payable to or incurred by any Indemnified Party to any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of or relating to one or more Claims.

In the event that Seller fails or refuses to defend any Indemnified Party as required herein, or Seller fails or refuses to engage independent counsel to defend any Indemnified Party to avoid any possible conflict of interest that results from joint representation of Seller and any Indemnified Party by the same counsel, then, in such event, Indemnified Party, at its option, may engage counsel to defend Indemnified Party and Seller consents, covenants and agrees to bear and pay all such legal fees and related costs just as though Seller had incurred the same for its own account.

Section 23. Books and Records.

Seller agrees to permit Purchaser access to all books and records of the Seller during normal business hours.

Section 24. Taxes.

All taxes and governmental charges imposed with respect to the sales of the goods related to the Receivables shall be charged to Seller.

Section 25. Termination.

Seller and Purchaser recognize that future purchases of Receivables are to be made only with mutual consent, through joint execution of a supplemental Schedule “A”. Accordingly, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time as it relates to future Receivables. As to Receivables at any time purchased, however, Seller may terminate this Agreement only upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Purchaser, and subject to the following terms: Purchaser shall not be obligated to release its security interest and execute releases of UCC filings until twenty (20) Business Days (hereinafter defined) after all Receivables have been paid to Purchaser in full. At such time, Purchaser shall also release to Seller the balance, if any, owed to Seller as derived from all debits and credits made in connection with this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not terminate any of Seller’s other liabilities or obligations hereunder, including but not limited to any obligations that may arise under Seller’s indemnification obligation described above. Should Seller fail to give Purchaser the requisite thirty (30) days written notice prior to termination as provided for herein, Seller shall pay to Purchaser a termination fee equal to the sum of (a) the average minimum monthly discount fee collected over the previous calendar quarter, plus (b) the average minimum monthly invoice fee collected over the previous calendar quarter. As used in this Agreement, the term “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks are not authorized or required to close in Houston, Texas.

Section 26. Waiver.

Any failure by Purchaser to exercise any of its rights hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser of such or any other rights, nor in any manner impair the subsequent exercise of the same or any other right, and any waiver by Purchaser of any Event of Default or Default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent Event of Default or Default.

Section 27. Choice of Law; Venue, Service of Process; Arbitration.

This Agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Texas, and shall be wholly performable in Xxxxxx County, Texas. Except as provided herein the following Arbitration Provision (“Arbitration Provision”), any action or proceeding against Seller under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Purchase Documents may be brought in any state or federal court in Xxxxxx County, Texas, and Seller hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such court as an inconvenient forum. Seller agrees that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its office specified in this Agreement, regardless of whether said notice is claimed or received by Seller. Except as provided in the Arbitration Provision, nothing herein or in any of the Purchase Documents shall affect the right of Purchaser to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Purchaser to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or with respect to any of its property in courts in other jurisdictions. Except as provided in the Arbitration Provision, any action or proceeding by Seller against Purchaser shall be brought only in a court located in Xxxxxx County, Texas.

Section 28. ARBITRATION PROVISION. The Seller and Purchaser agree that all disputes, claims and controversies arising from this document or any documents executed in connection herewith or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, upon request of any party. No act to take or dispose of any collateral securing the Obligations or covered by this instrument shall constitute a waiver of this arbitration provision or be prohibited by this arbitration provision. This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims or controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or exercise of any right concerning any collateral securing the Obligations or covered by this instrument, including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the collateral securing the Obligations or covered by this instrument, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 USC Section 91, Texas Finance Code Sections 35.009 and 36.005, or any other protection provided banks by the laws of Texas or the United States. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration provision. If the Federal Arbitration Act is inapplicable to any such claim or controversy for any reason, such arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the Texas General Arbitration Act and in accordance with this arbitration provision and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Section 29. Assignment; Successors and Assigns.

Purchaser may from time to time assign its rights under this Agreement, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of Purchaser under this Agreement, including its rights as a secured party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns; however, Seller may not assign its obligations or rights under this Agreement without the written consent of Purchaser.

Section 30. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to violate any applicable law, then the remaining portion of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 31. Headings, Construction.

The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not modify or affect the terms of this Agreement in any manner.

Section 34. Costs of Enforcement.

In the event of any default or breach by Seller under this Agreement, or any portion hereof, whether or not such enforcement becomes necessary by reason of a breach or default by Seller and/or in the event it becomes necessary for Purchaser to employ an attorney and incur other expenses to collect any Receivable or Obligation, Seller agrees to pay to Purchaser on demand, from time to time as such amounts are incurred by Purchaser, an amount or amounts equal to all fees, expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Purchaser including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The costs described in this section may become Obligations under Section 12 of this Agreement. Furthermore, Seller agrees to reimburse Purchaser on demand for the actual amount of all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Purchaser has incurred or may incur in:

(a) negotiating, preparing, or administering this Agreement and any documents prepared in connection herewith, all of which shall be paid contemporaneously with the execution hereof or upon demand;

(b) any way arising out of this Agreement;

(c) protecting, preserving or enforcing any lien, security interest or other right granted by Seller to Purchaser or arising under applicable law, whether or not suit is brought, including but not limited to the defense of any claims or Disputes; and

(d) complying with any subpoena or other legal process attendant to any litigation in which Seller is a party, including photocopying and travel expenses.

Section 35. Nature of Charges.

The Discounts, any additional Discounts, and commissions or other charges payable hereunder constitute consideration for Purchaser’s services provided hereunder in connection with making credit investigations, supervising the ledgering of accounts purchased, supervising the collection of the accounts purchased, assuming certain risks and other services provided by Purchaser hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the payment of interest for the use, forbearance, or detention of money (except with respect to the interest that may be charged by Purchaser under Section 15) ; however, should a court of competent jurisdiction rule that any part of Purchaser’s discounts, additional discounts, and factoring commissions or any other charges hereunder are in fact or in law to be treated as interest on funds advanced, in no event shall Seller be obligated to pay that interest at a rate in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law, and all agreements, conditions, or stipulations contained herein, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate, or compel Seller to pay a rate of interest exceeding the maximum rate of interest permitted by law shall be without binding force or effect at law or in equity to the extent only of the excess of interest over such maximum rate of interest permitted by law. Also in such event, Purchaser may “spread” all charges characterized as interest over the entire term of all transactions with Seller and may refund to Seller the excess of any payments made over the highest lawful rate. It is the intention of the parties hereto that in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement, this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other agreement, condition, or stipulation herein contained which is in conflict with same.

Section 36. Equitable Subrogation.

To the extent that Purchaser advances proceeds under this Agreement to Seller that are used to pay any prior indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against, in, on or to the Receivables, then such proceeds shall have been advanced by Purchaser at Seller’s request; and Purchaser shall be fully subrogated to any and all rights, titles, interests, powers, equities, liens, encumbrances, and security interests (collectively “Liens”) owned or granted by any owner or holder of such Liens, irrespective of whether said Liens are released of record, or otherwise, and all of said Liens shall fully inure to the benefit of Purchaser.

Section 37. Facsimile.

Seller agrees that any executed facsimile (faxed) copy of documents received by Purchaser relating to this agreement, including but not limited to Schedules A, Invoices or Bills of Lading, shall be deemed to be of the same force and effect as the original, manually executed documents.

Section 38. Joint and Several Obligations.

If more than one party is executing this Agreement as Seller, each party agrees that its obligations hereunder are joint and several. Each party constituting Seller agrees each party constituting Seller warrants to Purchaser that (a) the value of the consideration received and to be received by it as a result of its liability on the obligations of each other Seller is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation it has hereunder, and (b) such liability and obligation may reasonably be expected to benefit it, directly or indirectly. Each party constituting Seller specifically agrees that execution by any one of them of any Schedule A, xxxx of sale, or other instrument executed in connection herewith shall be deemed the fully authorized act of each party constituting Seller, jointly and severally binding upon each.

Section 39. Obligations Absolute.

Seller and (if more than one party) each party constituting Seller agrees that its obligations shall not be released, diminished, impaired or affected by the occurrence of any one or more of the following events, all of which may occur without notice to or consent of any other Seller:

(a) Any release, partial release, subordination or loss of any security, guaranty or collateral at any time existing in connection with the obligations contained herein;

(b) The death, insolvency, bankruptcy, disability or incapacity of any Seller, any guarantor, or any other party now or hereafter obligated hereon;

(d) Any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Purchaser to take or prosecute any action for the collection of the obligations provided herein;

(e) The unenforceability for any reason of all or any part of the obligations contained herein against any Seller, guarantor or other party;

(f) The finding of any payment by any Seller to constitute a preference under bankruptcy or similar debtor relief law;

(g) Any release or partial release of liability of any Seller, guarantor or other party; or

(h) Any other action that might impair rights in the nature of contribution or subrogation that any Seller might otherwise have.

Section 40. Seller’s Waiver of Notice.

Seller hereby waives notice of nonpayment of any Receivables as well as all other notices, demands or presentations for payment under this Agreement. Seller further agrees that Purchaser may extend, modify or renew from time to time the payment of any Receivable without notice to or consent by Seller.

Section 41. Entire Agreement; Amendment.

This Agreement and the other instruments executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser in connection herewith represents and embodies the final, entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations and understandings, whether written or oral relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements between the parties hereto. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by Purchaser and Seller.

Section 42. Release of Liability.

Seller hereby releases and exculpates Purchaser, its officers, employees, attorneys and designees, from any liability arising from any acts under this Agreement or in furtherance thereof whether of omission or commission, and whether based upon any error of judgment or mistake of law or fact, except for willful misconduct. In no event will Purchaser have any liability to Seller for lost profits or other special or consequential damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller releases Purchaser from any claims which Seller may now or hereafter have arising out of Purchaser’s endorsement and deposit of checks issued by Seller’s customers stating that they were in full payment of an account, but issued for less than the full amount which may have been owed on the account.

Section 43. Conflict.

Unless otherwise expressly stated in any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller, if a conflict exists between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of such other agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
