Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, III (Print Name); /s/ Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, III (Signature);
___________(Print Name);___________________________________(Signature);
| 1. | Delivery of Purchased Amount: Seller must deposit all Future Receipts into the single business banking account specified above, which may not be used for any personal, family or household purposes (the “Account”) and must instruct Seller’s credit card processor, which must be approved by Buyer (the “Processor”) to deposit all Payment Card receipts of Seller into the Account. Seller agrees not to change the Account or add an additional Account without the express written consent of Buyer. Seller authorizes Buyer to debit the Daily Amount from the Account each business day by either ACH or electronic check. Seller will provide Buyer with all required access codes and agrees not to change them without prior written consent from Buyer. Seller will provide an appropriate ACH authorization to Buyer. Seller understands that it is responsible for either ensuring that the Daily Amount is available in the Account each business day or advising Buyer prior to each daily withdrawal of a shortage of funds. Otherwise, Seller will be responsible for any fees incurred by Buyer resulting from a rejected electronic check or ACH debit attempt, as set forth on Appendix A. Buyer is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from Buyer’s debiting any amount authorized under the terms of this Agreement. Seller understands that the foregoing ACH authorization is a fundamental condition to induce Buyer to accept the Agreement. Consequently, such authorization is intended to be irrevocable. |
| 2. | Seller May Request Changes to the Daily Amount: The initial Daily Amount is intended to represent the Specified Percentage of Seller’s daily Future Receipts. For as long as no Event of Default has occurred, once each calendar month, Seller may request that Buyer adjust the Daily Amount to more closely reflect the Seller’s actual Future Receipts times the Specified Percentage. Seller agrees to provide Buyer any information requested by Buyer to assist in this reconciliation. No more often than once a month, Buyer may adjust the Daily Amount on a going-forward basis to more closely reflect the Seller’s actual Future Receipts times the Specified Percentage. Buyer will give Seller notice five business days prior to any such adjustment. After each adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph, the new dollar amount shall be deemed the Daily Amount until any subsequent adjustment. |
| 3. | Daily Amount Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Daily Amount shall equal 100% of all Future Receipts. |
| 4. | Sale of Future Receipts (THIS IS NOT A LOAN): Seller is selling a portion of a future revenue stream to Buyer at a discount, not borrowing money from Buyer. There is no interest rate or payment schedule and no time period during which the Purchased Amount must be collected by Buyer. If Future Receipts are remitted more slowly than Buyer may have anticipated or projected because Seller’s business has slowed down, or if the full Purchased Amount is never remitted because Seller’s business went bankrupt or otherwise ceased operations in the ordinary course of business, and Seller has not breached this Agreement, Seller would not owe anything to Buyer and would not be in breach of or default under this Agreement. Buyer is buying the Purchased Amount of Future Receipts knowing the risks that Seller’s business may slow down or fail, and Buyer assumes these risks based on Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement that are designed to give Buyer a reasonable and fair opportunity to receive the benefit of its bargain. By this Agreement, Seller transfers to Buyer full and complete ownership of the Purchased Amount of Future Receipts and Seller retains no legal or equitable interest therein. Seller agrees that it will treat Purchase Price and Purchased Amount in a manner consistent with a sale in its accounting records and tax returns. Seller agrees that Buyer is entitled to audit Seller’s accounting records upon reasonable Notice in order to verify compliance. Seller waives any rights of privacy, confidentiality or taxpayer privilege in any such litigation or arbitration in which Seller asserts that this transaction is anything other than a sale of future receipts. |
| 5. | Power of Attorney. Seller irrevocably appoints Buyer as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to Buyer from Seller, or in the case of a violation by Seller of this Agreement or the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 15 hereof by Seller, including without limitation (i) to obtain and adjust insurance; (ii) to collect monies due or to become due under or in respect of any of the Future Receipts; (iii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, notes, drafts, instruments, documents or chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or clause (ii) above; (iv) to sign Seller’s name on any invoice, xxxx of lading, or assignment directing customers or account debtors to direct payables to Buyer; (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding which Buyer may deem necessary for the collection of any of the remaining Purchased Amount of the Future Receipts, or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to delivery of the Purchased Amount; and/or (vi) to contact any Processor of Seller and to direct such Processor(s) to deliver directly to Buyer all or any portion of the amounts received by such Processor(s) and to provide any information regarding Seller requested by Buyer. Each Processor may rely on the previous sentence as written authorization of Seller to provide any information requested by Buyer. Each Processor is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed by Seller to follow any instruction of Buyer without inquiry as to Buyer’s right or authority to give such instructions. Seller acknowledges the terms of the preceding sentence and agrees not to (a) interfere with Buyer’s instructions or a Processor’s compliance with this Agreement or (b) request any modification thereto without Buyer’s prior written consent. |

| 8. | Authorization to Contact Current and Prior Banks: Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to contact any current or prior bank of the Seller in order to obtain whatever information it may require regarding Seller’s transactions with any such bank. Such information may include but is not limited to, information necessary to verify the amount of Future Receipts previously processed on behalf of Seller and any fees that may have been charged by the bank. In addition, Seller authorizes Buyer to contact any current or prior bank of the Seller for collections and in order to confirm that Seller is exclusively using the Account identified above, or any other account approved by Buyer, for the deposit of all business receipts. |
| 9. | Financial Information. Seller authorizes Buyer and its agents to investigate its financial responsibility and history, and will provide to Buyer any authorizations, bank or financial statements, tax returns, etc., as Buyer deems necessary in its sole discretion prior to or at any time after execution of this Agreement. A photocopy of this authorization will be deemed acceptable as an authorization for release of financial and credit information. Buyer is authorized to update such information and financial and credit profiles from time to time as it deems appropriate. Seller waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim for damages against Buyer or any of its affiliates relating to any investigation undertaken by or on behalf of Buyer as permitted by this Agreement or disclosure of information as permitted by this Agreement. |
| 10. | Transactional History. Seller authorizes all of its banks and brokers and Payment Card processors to provide Buyer with Seller’s banking, brokerage and/or processing history to determine qualification or continuation in this program, or for collections upon an Event of Default. |
| 11. | Publicity. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to use its name in listings of clients and in advertising and marketing materials. |

Buyer may request statements at any time during the performance of this Agreement and the Seller shall provide them to Buyer within five business days.

Seller agrees that until Buyer has received all of the Purchased Amount Seller will not voluntarily close its business on a temporarily basis for renovations, repairs, or any other purposes. This provision, however, does not prohibit Seller from closing its business temporarily if such closing is required to conduct renovations or repairs that are required by local ordinance or other legal order, such as from a health or fire inspector, or if otherwise forced to do so by circumstances outside of the control of Seller.
