Exhibit 10.7
PURCHASE ORDER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE ORDER PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into this 15th day of April, 2014 by and between MidCap Credit LLC d/b/a Brookridge Funding, a Texas limited liability company, with its place of business located at 00 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 ("Funder") and SDJ Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business located at 0000 X Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000 (the "Client").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Client is engaged primarily in the high performance storage device business (the "Inventory") and may sell and deliver such merchandise to its customers on a credit basis; and
WHEREAS, Client desires to obtain funds for operation of its business through the sale of Purchase Orders issued by purchasers of Inventory (each a "Customer") acceptable to Funder; and
WHEREAS, Funder is willing to purchase from Client, from time to time, purchase orders issued by Customers to Client ("Purchase Orders") subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and conditions set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale of Purchase Orders. Client shall, from time to time, at Client's option, sell, transfer and assign all of its right, title and interest in and to Accepted Purchase Orders (as that term is defined in Section 2 below) to Funder, together with all moneys due or which may become due upon such Accepted Purchase Orders. Accepted Purchase Orders shall be identified by separate and subsequent written assignments to Funder of such Accepted Purchase Orders on a form to be provided to Client by Funder; however, in the absence of such separate written assignment, this Agreement shall be deemed to evidence the assignment of such Accepted Purchase Orders sold. Additionally, to the extent that any Letters of Credit ("Letters of Credit") have been issued in conjunction with any Accepted Purchase Order and/or there has been a Performance Bond or other form of performance guaranty ("Performance Guaranties") issued by, or on behalf of, the applicable seller of the Inventory with respect to any Accepted Purchase Order then any such Letters of Credit and/or Performance Guaranties shall be identified by separate and subsequent written assignments to Funder of such Letters of Credit and/or Performance Guaranties.
2. Approval. Client shall submit the original of each Purchase Order, and such other documents in a form satisfactory to Funder as may be required by Funder (collectively, the "Support Documents"; which shall include, without limitation, any applicable Letters of Credit and/or Performance Guaranties and any other documents which support the Purchase Order) to Funder for approval, which approval may be denied by Funder in its sole discretion, with or without cause. Funder shall advise Client of its acceptance of a submitted Purchase Order and the Support Documents (collectively, an "Accepted Purchase Order") or rejection of a submitted Purchase Order within a reasonable time following receipt of the items set out in the first sentence of this Section.
3. Purchase Price. Upon receipt of a complete Accepted Purchase Order and all assignments and other documentation related thereto required by Funder in its sole discretion (all in form and substance satisfactory to Funder), Funder agrees to purchase Accepted Purchase Orders from Client at a price not in excess of the cost of the applicable Inventory (the "Purchase Price") whereby in such event Funder will provide the purchase money which may take the form of a letter of credit for such Inventory.
4. Fees and Collection.
a. Client acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for all bank fees related to funding. Client will not be responsible for any other third party fees unless mutually agreed upon in advance.
b. Client has entered into a MFC Account Assignment and Security Agreement with Marquette Commercial Finance, Inc. ("Marquette"), dated November 13, 2013 (the "Marquette Agreement"). Upon shipment or delivery of the items specified in an Accepted Purchase Order, an invoice will be generated by Client (each, an "Invoice") which will become the sole property of Funder until such time as all sums due to Funder pursuant to this Agreement are paid in full. All proceeds received with respect to an Accepted Purchase Order and/or the Invoice resulting therefrom are to be applied first to pay Funder's Fees, then to repay Funder for the Purchase Price of all of the then outstanding Accepted Purchase Orders, with any remainder being remitted to Client. The Funder's Fees shall be two percent (2.0%) of the Purchase Price for the first twenty (20) days from the date of any applicable purchase and an additional one percent (1.0%) per 10-day increment thereafter.
5. Minimum Fees. It is expressly understood and agreed that Funder's Fees (a) shall be no less than one thousand ($1,000) per transaction; and (2) in the aggregate shall total not less than twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) per year during the life of this Agreement. Client will pay to Funder any shortfall upon the anniversary of this Agreement.
6. Recourse. Funder shall be entitled to immediate and full recourse against and repayment by Client and to demand payment with respect to any Accepted Purchase Orders for the full Purchase Price, Funder's Fees and all other sums due thereon, if one of the following events occurs:
a. An Accepted Purchase Order is not filled and/or invoiced to a Customer within sixty (60) days following payment of the Purchase Price, regardless of the reason.
b. A Credit Problem, as defined as a Customer's inability to pay debts as they become due because of insolvency, the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, the quitting of business and the like, regardless of the validity of any such problem.
c. A Credit Dispute, as defined as a claim by any Customer against Client, of any kind whatsoever the reduces the amount collectable from Customer, arising from any kind of disagreement between Customer and Client, valid or invalid, at any time, both before and/or after signing of this Agreement, regardless of the validity of any such dispute.
d. Client breaches any warranty, representation or promise in this Agreement, or when any representation or warranty made by Client is untrue.
e. Client contributes to or aggravates in any manner the Credit Problems of a Customer.
f. A Customer alleges a claim of loss or offset of any kind against Client or Funder, regardless of the validity of any such claim or offset.
g. A mistaken, incorrect and/or erroneous Purchase Order is submitted by Client to Funder.
h. Any circumstance arises which, in the Funder's commercially reasonable judgment, may delay, prevent or threaten to delay or prevent payment of the Accepted Purchase Order in full to Funder.
i. Any fraud shall have been committed by Client.
2
j. The Purchase Price, Funder's fees and all other sums due with respect to an Accepted Purchase Order are not paid to Funder within ninety (90) days of the applicable purchase date, whether by a Customer invoiced for such Accepted Purchase Order or otherwise, regardless of the reason.
7. Remedies. Within three business days following Funder's demand for payment, Client will pay Funder the Purchase Price, Funder's fees and all other sums due with respect to any Accepted Purchase Order with respect to which any one or more of the events set out in Paragraph 6 above has occurred, regardless of the validity of any such event. If Funder does not receive full payment therefore within the time provided herein, Funder shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided for under this Agreement and by law, the right to:
a. Withdraw from and off-set such amount to any sums, monies or other properties then or thereafter, in Funder's possession or in transit and any future Purchase Prices coming due the Client, and to charge-back or sell back the Accepted Purchase Order to the Client.
b. Except as to any accounts purchased by Marquette, in Funder's sole discretion, at any time, to notify any account debtor/customer of Client to make payments directly to Funder, irrespective of whether such account has been purchased by Funder.
c. Exercise any and all remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise at law.
8. Notice of Dispute. At the time Funder purchases an Accepted Purchase Order, no defense, offset, or counterclaim shall exist with respect thereto. Client shall provide written notice to Funder within twenty-four hours of Client obtaining any knowledge from any source of any dispute, disagreement or irregularity of any kind between the Client and a Customer. Funder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to settle any dispute with respect to such Accepted Purchase Order or any account directly with any Customer; however, any such settlement shall not relieve Client from responsibility for full payment of such Accepted Purchase Order.
9. Property of Funder. Upon Funder's purchase of an Accepted Purchase Order, in the event Marquette fails to purchase the invoice generated therefrom (a "BF Account") any and all payments from that Customer as to that Accepted Purchase Order are hereby assigned by Client to Funder and are the sole property of Funder and Client agrees not to interfere with payment thereof by the Customer; however, should Client pay any such Accepted Purchase Order in full to Funder, or should any such Accepted Purchase Order be charged back or sold back to Client by Funder, and Funder shall have received full payment therefore, then title thereto shall revert to the Client.
10. Payments Received by Client. Client warrants and represents that at the time Funder purchases an Accepted Purchase Order, no payment will have been made by the Customer named therein, either to or for the benefit of the Client, with respect to such Accepted Purchase Order. In the event that Client receives a payment which is the property of Funder, Client shall be deemed to have received same in trust for Funder, and Client shall immediately turn over such payment to Funder. In the event that Client receives a payment which is comprised of moneys belonging partially to Client and partially to Funder, Client shall immediately turn over said payment, in its original form, duly endorsed over, to Funder, and Funder shall, upon clearance by Funder's bank of the payment instrument, forward a check to Client for Client's portion of the payment.
If Client fails to turn over to Funder any checks which are the property of Funder or other form of payment which is the property of Funder received by it or in the event the Client deposits any such checks into its own account, this shall be an event of default of this contract, and in addition the Client shall pay Funder the entire Invoice Amount related to such payment at once plus liquidated damages equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount so deposited. The parties agree to liquidate damages by reason of the fact that the damages that are to be expected as a result of such deposit are uncertain in amount and/or difficult to prove. The parties therefore intend to liquidate damages resulting from such deposit in advance and agree that the amount stipulated is reasonable as damages for the deposit by Client of such payments. Nothing herein shall serve to limit Funder's remedies for the continued wrongful retention by Client of Funder's property in the event that Client fails to immediately pay to Funder any monies received by it.

b. Client shall, upon request of Funder, furnish to Funder such further information, execute and deliver to Funder such documents and instruments (including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and shall do such other acts and things as Funder may at any time reasonably request relating to the perfection or protection of the security interest created by this Agreement or for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement.

13. Power of Attorney. In order to facilitate performance of this Agreement, Client irrevocably appoints Funder, or any person(s) designated by Funder, as its attorney in fact, which said appointment is coupled with an interest and shall remain in full force and effect until all Purchase Prices of Accepted Purchase Orders sold to Funder have been paid in full and all obligations of Client to Funder have been fully discharged, with full power to:

a. Declare any and all amounts due hereunder and any other indebtedness owing by Client to Funder to be immediately due and payable.
b. Enforce the security interest granted hereunder including to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Client preceding foreclosure or sale, and to apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the indebtedness. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Funder's right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the amount due the Funder under this Agreement by a substantial amount. Receiver may be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction upon ex parte application and without notice, notice being expressly waived.

16. Maximum Amount. It is specifically understood and agreed that Funder shall have no obligation hereunder to review, or otherwise purchase Purchase Orders, if at any time the aggregate total of all Accepted Purchase Orders purchased by Funder and not yet paid shall exceed the total sum one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000).
17. Confidentiality. Funder acknowledges that any knowledge or information relating to Client is valuable, proprietary and confidential in nature, and Funder agrees to use reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such information subject to the exercise by Funder of all of Funder's rights and remedies hereunder; provided however, that the following shall be excepted from the provisions of this Section: (i) any disclosures required by law or required to be made to any governmental agencies, or (ii) any disclosures to Funder's independent certified public accounting firm or to other persons or entities that may need to know for the purpose of its business or operations, or (iii) any disclosures of information that was in the public domain at the time of receipt or subsequently comes into the public domain (other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure), or (iv) disclosures of the type that are customary in the ordinary course of business.
18. Termination. Client hereby agrees that for a period of twelve months it may only sell its Purchase Orders to Funder under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, should it decide to sell any such Purchase Orders. Should Client sell or otherwise pledge its Purchase Orders with anyone other than Funder during this twelve month period, Funder will be entitled to liquidated damages of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000). The parties agree to liquidate damages in this manner because although Funder will suffer damages as a result of a breach by Client of this provision, such damages will be difficult if not impossible to quantify and the parties agree that the foregoing represents a reasonable approximation of the amount thereof. After that point this Agreement shall continue until terminated by thirty (30) days prior notice by either party; provided, however, that no such termination shall terminate or otherwise affect Client's obligations hereunder incurred or accrued prior to such termination. Following any termination, Client shall remain fully liable to Funder for any Purchase Orders purchased before such termination, and Funder will continue to hold a security interest in the Collateral until all existing indebtedness of Client to Funder has been paid in full or otherwise satisfied.
19. Indemnification. Client shall indemnify and hold Funder harmless against any and all liability, claim, demand, ill-will and damage arising from Funder collecting or attempting to collect any account or to liquidate any Inventory, provided that Funder has complied with all applicable laws in its collection efforts, and from the failure of Client to pay withholding taxes due and payable to any taxing authority; together with all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
