the amount shown on the books of Borrower and on any invoice, certificate, schedule or statement delivered to Lender is owing to Borrower and no partial payment has been received unless reflected in such submission;

(g)

the Receivable is not subject to any claim of reduction, counterclaim, setoff, recoupment, or other defense in law or in equity, or any claim for credits, allowances, or adjustments by the account debtor because of returned, inferior, or damaged goods or unsatisfactory services, or for any other reason;

(q)

the Receivable is not evidenced by chattel paper or instruments unless Lender has agreed in writing that it may be deemed eligible and all originals of such chattel paper or instruments have been endorsed and delivered to Lender;

Advance Procedure.

Each request for an advance of Loan proceeds shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by a borrowing base certificate, a receivables report and aging, and such other supporting documents and materials as Lender may require, all of which shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Each advance shall be accomplished by crediting the principal amount to a banking account of Borrower with Lender. In connection with advances of Loan proceeds, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to accept, rely upon, act upon, and comply with any oral or written instructions, requests, confirmations, and orders of any employee or representative of Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that the transmission between Borrower and Lender of any such instructions, requests, confirmations, and orders involves the possibility of errors, omissions, mistakes, and discrepancies and agree to adopt such internal measures and operational procedures to protect Borrower’s interests.

2.5.

Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender on or before the date of closing a non refundable and unconditional commitment fee of $15,000, which shall be the absolute property of Lender upon payment. The commitment fee shall not be considered to be a payment of any of Lender’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loan, and shall be paid independent of the amount of proceeds of the Loan ultimately advanced to Borrower, even if that amount is less than the stated principal amount of the Loan.

2.6.

Loan Account. Lender shall establish and maintain one or more accounts on the books of Lender evidencing the Liabilities, to which account or accounts: (a) each advance made by Lender shall be debited as of the date made; (b) each payment made by Borrower shall be credited as of the date payment is received by Lender; (c) all interest that accrues on the Loan shall be debited as it accrues; (d) all Expense Payments shall be debited as of the date paid by Lender; (e) all Liquidation Costs shall be debited as of the date incurred by Lender; and (f) all other fees, charges, interest, and expenses chargeable by Lender to Borrower under this Agreement of any other Loan Document shall be debited as of the date such charges, interest, and expenses are incurred. All credit entries to such accounts are conditional and shall be readjusted as of the date made if final payment is not received by Lender. The entries made by Lender to such accounts shall constitute prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Liabilities.

No Waiver, Etc. No failure or delay by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under this Agreement, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount.
