AGREEMENT IN RESPECT OF SALE AND TRANSFER

Exhibit 10.16

IN DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL UNDER UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE

THIS AGREEMENT IN RESPECT OF SALE AND TRANSFER IN DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL UNDER UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December [__], 2004 (the “Effective Date”) by and between XXXXX FARGO FOOTHILL, INC., a California corporation (formerly, Foothill Capital Corporation and hereinafter called “Secured Party”) and KELTIC FINANCIAL PARTNERS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Buyer”), joined as provided herein by EQUINOX BUSINESS CREDIT CORPORATION, a New Jersey corporation (“Debtor”) and, as follows.

RECITALS

This Agreement is made and executed in the following circumstances.

A. Debtor is in the business of originating, funding and servicing loans to borrowers (“Obligors”) in the ordinary course of business. On the Effective Date, Debtor is owner and holder of each of the Loans (defined below) and the Loan Documents (defined below), respectively.

B. Debtor and Secured Party previously entered into the certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 19, 2001 (as amended, the “Loan and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms thereof, at the request of Debtor, Secured Party from time to time has made loans and otherwise extended credit to Debtor for the purpose, among other things, of providing financing to Debtor for funding the Loans. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, and to secure payment and performance of all of Debtor’s obligations thereunder, Debtor granted to Secured Party a first priority, perfected, continuing security interest in, among other property of Debtor, all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in all Loans, together with the Loan Documents and the Obligor Collateral, including, but not limited to, all instruments and promissory notes, drafts, chattel paper, letters of credit, letter of credit rights, general intangibles, documents and records and supporting obligations evidencing or relating to the Loans, and all proceeds thereof, including without limitation, cash proceeds (collectively, the “Related Collateral”).

C. Pursuant to the express terms of the Loan and Security Agreement:

(i) on December 19, 2004 (the “Maturity Date”), all obligations and indebtedness owing by Debtor to Secured Party thereunder immediately become due and payable without notice or demand or further action by Secured Party; and

(ii) on and after the Maturity Date, Secured Party has no obligation to make loans or extend credit to Debtor.

D. Secured Party has previously notified Debtor that:

(i) Secured Party will not agree to extend the term for financing, or otherwise extend credit to Debtor, under the Loan and Security Agreement beyond the Maturity Date; and

(ii) In the event all obligations and indebtedness owing by Debtor to Secured Party under the Loan and Security Agreement are not timely paid in full on or before the Maturity Date, Secured Party intends to exercise any and all remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement and applicable law.

E. In connection with the recitals set forth in clauses (C) and (D) preceding:

(i) Debtor has made diligent inquiry and used its best efforts to obtain alternative financing to replace the financing provided by the Loan and Security Agreement and to refinance and pay all of Debtor’s obligations and indebtedness thereunder. Debtor has concluded, in its business judgment, that Debtor is unable to obtain any such financing;

(ii) Debtor is not able to obtain additional cash contributions from its sole shareholder; and

(iii) On and after the Maturity Date, Debtor has no source for cash needed to meet its obligations to provide financing to Obligors on the Loans or to continue servicing the Loans.

F. In connection with the recitals set forth in clause (E) preceding, Debtor has made diligent inquiry and used its best efforts to identify prospective buyers with whom Debtor could negotiate terms for selling the Loans and use the proceeds thereof to pay all obligations and indebtedness owing by Debtor to Secured Party under the Loan and Security Agreement. Notwithstanding its best efforts, Debtor has been unable to consummate a sale of the Loans and has concluded, in its business judgment, that it will be unable to do so prior to the Maturity Date.

G. In connection with the recitals set forth in clauses (E) and (F) preceding, Debtor has determined, in its business judgment, and has notified Secured Party that:

(i) Debtor is, and on and after the Maturity Date will be, unable to repay all indebtedness owing by Debtor under the Loan and Security Agreement or otherwise perform its obligations thereunder, and that therefore, Debtor cannot and will not perform its obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement; and

(ii) Debtor will be unable, on and after the Maturity Date, to meet its obligations to Obligors to provide financing to Obligors on the Loans, or to continue servicing the Loans.

H. Debtor’s notification to Secured Party described in clause (G)(i) preceding constituted a total breach by anticipatory repudiation by Debtor of its obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement which constituted a default of the Loan and Security Agreement for purposes of Article 9 of the UCC (defined below), and, pursuant to Section 9-609 of the UCC,

Secured Party therefore has the right to take possession of and sell or otherwise dispose of the Loans and Related Collateral by private sale pursuant to the UCC.

I. Time is of the essence, in that:

(i) Prior to the Maturity Date, Debtor’s inability to assure Obligors on the Loans that, on and after the Maturity Date, Debtor will be able to provide financing to Obligors on the Loans is likely to cause material deterioration in the value of the Related Collateral;

(ii) Debtor’s inability to provide financing to Obligors on the Loans, or continue servicing the Loans, on and after the Maturity Date is certain to cause material deterioration in the value of the Loans and Related Collateral, as well as expose Debtor to a material risk of liability for claims by Obligors; and

(iii) The orderly transfer of servicing of the Loans from Debtor to another servicing agent involves transition execution which, if deferred until on or after the Maturity Date, could cause an interruption in servicing of the Loans or otherwise impair the ability to effectively service the Loans on and after the Maturity Date, which would cause material deterioration in the value of the Loans and Related Collateral.

J. Debtor has referred Buyer to Secured Party as a prospective buyer of the Loans and Related Collateral, with whom Debtor has had previous negotiations but with respect to whom Debtor was not able to meet required conditions in order to consummate a sale on or prior to the Maturity Date.

K. Buyer desires to purchase, and Secured Party is willing to transfer and sell to Buyer, all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in and to the Loans and Related Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

L. Debtor has determined, in its business judgment, that disposition by Secured Party of the Loans and Related Collateral to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will prevent diminution of value of the Loans and Related Collateral and maximize the amount of proceeds recoverable in respect thereof, and is in the best interest of Debtor, its creditors and its shareholder.

NOW THEREFORE, for value received, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby is acknowledged, and in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein, Debtor and Secured Party hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 2. DISPOSITION AND RELATED PROVISIONS

1.1 Debtor’s Acknowledgement of Default and Secured Party’s Rights. Debtor acknowledges that its notification to Secured Party described in clause (G)(i) of the Recitals to this Agreement was a total breach by anticipatory repudiation of Debtor’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement, which constituted a default of the Loan and Security Agreement for purposes of Article 9 of the UCC.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Secured Party hereby sells, transfers and conveys to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases, all of Debtor’s right, title, interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets, together with all payments and rights to payment thereunder, and all security interests, liens and other rights of Debtor thereunder or in connection therewith.

SECTION 3. PURCHASE PRICE

Section 3.1 Purchase Price.

(a) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) shall equal the amount of (i) the outstanding principal loan balance due under the Loan Documents as of the close of business on the Closing Date, plus (ii) the unpaid accrued interest and prorated fees relating to the Loans as of the close of business on the Closing Date, plus (iii) the Deposit, less the sum of (w) the Loss Adjustment, (x) the Purchase Price Adjustment, (y) prorated prepaid fees, and (z) credits due to Obligors of each Loan, including, but not limited to: deposits, customer cash, and all set-offs due to any Obligor under a Loan.

(b) At the Closing, the Buyer shall pay, on account of the Purchase Price, an amount equal to (i) the amount provided by Section 3.1(a) estimated on and as of the Closing Date, the computation of which is set forth on Schedule 3.1(b) (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), less (ii) the Hold Back Amount.

Section 3.2 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Not less than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date (the “Purchase Price Adjustment Date”), the Buyer shall deliver to Secured Party and Debtor:

(i) an updated calculation of the Purchase Price which shall list the Loans together with the outstanding principal balance due under the Loan Documents as of the close of business on the Closing Date;

(ii) a statement setting forth the aggregate interest accrued but unpaid with respect to each of the Loans as of the close of business on the Closing Date;

(iii) a statement setting forth all credits due Obligors with respect to each of the Loans, including, but not limited to: deposits; special credit reserves, customer cash and credit reserves on Records of Debtor, and all set-offs due to any Obligor under a Loan; and

(v) a statement setting forth the difference (positive or negative) between the Estimated Purchase Price and the Purchase Price as of the Closing Date, recalculated on the Purchase Price Adjustment Date.

(b) In the event that the Purchase Price calculated on the Purchase Price Adjustment Date is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, the Buyer shall pay the amount of such shortfall to the party entitled to payment thereof (as provided by Section 7). In the event that the Purchase Price calculated on the Purchase Price Adjustment Date is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, the Debtor shall pay the amount of such deficiency to the Buyer or if not paid as herein provided, Buyer shall set off the amount of such deficiency against any future payments Buyer owes hereunder. Any payment from the Debtor or the Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be made no later than ten (10) Business Days following (i) the date of the Buyer’s receipt of the documents described in Section 3.2(a) (collectively, the “Closing Date Documents”) or (ii) in the event that the Secured Party or Debtor delivers a Notice of Disagreement to the Buyer pursuant to Section 3.2(c), the date of final resolution of all Disputed Matters in accordance with Section 3.2(c). Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer, together with interest calculated on the amount of the required payment at the Federal Funds Rate from the Closing Date to (but not including) the date on which such amount is paid in full.

(c) Upon receipt of the Closing Date Documents, the Secured Party or Debtor, as the case may be, shall be afforded, at the Secured Party’s or Debtor’s expense, full access to the Records of Debtor related to the Purchased Assets, any work papers prepared by the Buyer and any officers, employees or other representatives of the Buyer that participated in the determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price. The Secured Party or Debtor, as the case may be, shall, not more than ten (10) Business Days following Buyer’s delivery of its calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price, have the right to notify the Buyer in writing that it disagrees with the Adjusted Purchase Price (the “Notice of Disagreement”), specifying to the extent practicable, in reasonable detail, the items as to which disagreement exists (the “Disputed Matters”). If the Secured Party or Debtor, as the case may be, fails to deliver a Notice of Disagreement within said time, it shall be deemed to have concurred with the Adjusted Purchase Price. If a Notice of Disagreement shall be delivered by the Secured Party or Debtor, as the case may be, then the Buyer and the Secured Party or Debtor, as the case may be, shall negotiate in good faith to resolve in writing any Disputed Matters. All Disputed Matters as to which written agreement has not been reached within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Notice of Disagreement from the Secured Party or Debtor, as the case may be, shall be submitted to and reviewed by an independent accounting firm (other than the accountants of the Buyer and the accountants of the Debtor and Secured Party, as applicable) mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Secured Party or Debtor, as the case may be (the “Reviewer”) under procedures to be agreed upon by such parties. The Reviewer shall consider only the Disputed Matters and shall act promptly to resolve all Disputed Matters, and its decision with respect thereto shall be final and binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses of the Reviewer in connection with its review and determination of any Disputed Matters shall be borne equally by the Buyer and the Debtor. Secured Party shall have

no liability for (i) any amounts due on account of the Adjusted Purchase Price or (ii) the fees and expenses of the Reviewer.

Section 3.3 Hold Back Amount.

(a) The Hold Back Amount shall be deducted from the amount of the Purchase Price paid on the Closing Date, as provided by Section 3.1(b). The Hold Back Amount shall be adjusted (the “Adjusted Hold Back”) (a) on January 31, 2006, to an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the highest outstanding principal balance of each Loan in the Portfolio on which no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Documents) shall have occurred and been declared at that time (including outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit) during the three months preceding January 31, 2006 plus one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and unpaid fees, expenses and charges due on any Loans in the Portfolio on which an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Documents) shall have occurred and been declared at that time, and (b) July 31, 2006 and on January 31 and July 31 of each year thereafter, an amount (not to exceed the Hold Back Amount) equal to seven percent (7%) of the highest outstanding principal balance of each Loan remaining in the Portfolio at the time of calculation on which no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Documents) (including outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit) during the three months preceding January 31 of such year plus one hundred percent (100%) of unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and unpaid fees, expenses and charges due on any Loans on which an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Documents) shall have occurred and been declared at that time. The Buyer shall pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(d).

(b) The Hold Back Amount is intended to fully compensate Buyer for each Loss recorded by Buyer on Buyer’s books and records with respect to a Loan in the Portfolio. With respect to each Loss, the Hold Back Amount shall be immediately, automatically and permanently debited by the amount of such Loss (the “Hold Back Reduction”) and the Hold Back Reduction shall be credited to Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, if a $50,000 Loss occurs with regard to a Loan, the Hold Back Amount shall be reduced by $50,000 and credited to Buyer to make Buyer whole. Upon crediting the Loss to Buyer, the Buyer’s records shall reflect that the Hold Back Amount has been permanently reduced by such amount for all purposes. In the event that a Loss, which previously resulted in a Hold Back Reduction, is subsequently recovered, Buyer’s records shall reflect that the Hold Back Amount has been restored by the amount of the recovery of such Loss at the time the recovery is actually received by Buyer, less the interest, fees, late charges and expenses (including legal fees) due to or incurred by Buyer with respect to such Loss or to effectuate such recovery. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood that the Secured Party and Buyer have agreed upon the Loss Adjustment to reduce (although not eliminate) uncertainty regarding the Purchase Price and therefore, (i) Secured Party or the Debtor, as the case may be, shall not be charged with any Hold Back Reduction until Buyer has suffered a Loss or Losses which, in the aggregate, exceed the Loss Adjustment and (ii) in the event Buyer does not experience a Loss or Losses which, in the aggregate, exceed the Loss Adjustment, then Secured Party or the Debtor, as the case may be, shall not be entitled and shall not be refunded any unused portion of the Loss Adjustment.

(c) Buyer shall pay to the party entitled to payment in accordance with the provisions of Section 7, on account of the Hold Back Amount, a sum calculated by multiplying

an amount that is eighty-five percent (85%) of the Portfolio Yield for the period for which the calculation is being made by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Hold Back Amount, as adjusted from time to time, and the denominator of which is the total average unpaid principal balance due on the Portfolio for the month in which the calculation is made (the “Yield Share”). However, in the event that, in any month, the Portfolio Yield actually received by Buyer shall be less than the amount Buyer is contractually entitled to receive in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, no payment of the Yield Share shall be paid until all of the Buyer Payments (as defined below) owed to Buyer shall have been actually received by Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, if in any month a Loan in the Portfolio shall be in default of payment of principal, interest, fees, late charges or expenses, including legal fees due to Buyer (“Buyer Payments”) with regard to one or more Loans or if Buyer shall, based upon its then existing policies, place one or more Loans on non-accrual status on Buyer’s books and records, the amount of the Portfolio Yield otherwise due as herein provided shall be withheld and paid to Buyer until such time as Buyer shall have been paid, in full, all Buyer Payments due to Buyer. For example, if an Obligor defaults on payment of $3,000 in Buyer Payments, then, (a) out of the Yield Share, Buyer shall be paid $3,000 and (b) until Buyer has been paid all Buyer Payments in full, no payment on account of the Yield Share shall be paid.

(d) Buyer shall:

(i) on or prior to the 10th day of each month, provide the party entitled to payment in accordance with the provisions of Section 7, with (y) a statement of the Portfolio Yield with respect to each Loan and (z) the Adjusted Hold Back Amount; and

(ii) on or prior to the 10th day of February and August of each year, pay or otherwise account to each party then entitled to any payments pursuant to Section 7: (y) the Yield Share; and (z) the adjustment to the Hold Back Amount, if any, calculated pursuant to Section 3.3(b); provided, however, Buyer shall, subject to Section 3.3(c), pay only the net amount of (A) the Yield Share and (B) the Hold Back Amount due for each such period based upon the Portfolio taken as a whole.

(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to Buyer’s rights under Section 3.3(b) or otherwise provide by law, any payment payable hereunder shall be subject to the Buyer’s right to set off all amounts owed by Buyer to Secured Party or Debtor hereunder, as the case may be, including, but not limited to, the amounts owing by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 14.

(f) In the event that Buyer shall hold all or any portion of the Hold Back Amount during a time after which no Loans remain in the Portfolio, then from that date until the date upon which the Adjusted Hold Back Amount is paid in full, Buyer shall pay to the party entitled to payment thereof (as provided by Section 7) interest on the Adjusted Hold Back Amount at the rate of LIBOR plus two percent (2%) per annum. Buyer shall pay such party the interest due hereunder in accordance with, and at the same times as set forth in, Section 3.3(d)(ii).

Section 3.4 Deferred Purchase Price. Within thirty (30) days of each anniversary date of the Calculation Date (as defined below), for a period of three (3) years, Buyer shall advise

each party then entitled to payments pursuant to Section 7 of the Portfolio Yield for the immediately preceding year and deliver to such party or parties a statement setting forth the calculation of the Portfolio Yield (the “Calculation”). “Calculation Date” shall mean the anniversary date of the last day of the first full month following the date on which the Closing occurs. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.3(c) and 3.3(e), on the 31^st day after the Calculation Date of each year following the period for which the Calculation is made, Buyer shall pay the party entitled to payment pursuant to Section 7, the following percentage of the Portfolio Yield (the “Premium” or “Premiums”):

(a) for the 1^st anniversary date - three percent (3%),

(b) for the 2^nd anniversary date - two percent (2%),

After the 3rd anniversary date, no further Premium payments shall be due under this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Form of Payment. All payments required to be made under this Agreement shall be made in federal or other immediately available funds by wire transfer in United States dollars to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Secured Party, Laurus, Debtor or the Buyer, as the case may be.

Section 3.6 Post-Closing Remittances. If, after the Closing Date, the Secured Party, Laurus or Debtor shall receive any remittance of money or communication with respect to any Purchased Assets, it shall endorse or otherwise transfer or pay over such remittance to the Buyer and shall forward such remittance or communication, as applicable, to the Buyer within two (2) Business Days of receipt in the manner and/or to the account specified by the Buyer from time to time in writing. If, after closing, Buyer receives any payment relating to assets of the Debtor which are not a part of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall promptly deliver same to the party entitled to such payment(s) pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

Section 3.7 Letters of Credit. For each existing Letter of Credit previously issued by Secured Party or any affiliate of Secured Party with respect to a Loan and which remains outstanding on the Closing Date (“Existing LCs “), the Buyer shall, at the Buyer’s option, either (i) as of the Closing Date, deliver to Secured Party (A) one or more backup letters of credit issued to and for the benefit of Secured Party by a commercial bank acceptable to, and in form and substance satisfactory to, Secured Party, in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate undrawn and unreimbursed amount of all such Existing LCs, together with (B) a cash deposit in the amount equal to 3.0% of the aggregate amount of all such Existing LC’s, to be held by Secured Party and applied in reimbursement of costs, fees and expenses (“LC Charges”) from time to time charged or incurred by Secured Party or its affiliate associated with the Existing LCs, or any of them, or (ii) elect that any Letter of Credit remain outstanding in accordance with its terms; provided Buyer delivers to the issuer cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the undrawn and unreimbursed amount of such Letter of Credit, but in each instance only until the next scheduled expiration date applicable thereto. During any time that a Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, Secured Party shall (a) not consent or agree to amend same without the Buyer’s consent and (b) if applicable, assign same to Buyer. Buyer agrees to pay Secured Party,

on demand, the amount, if any, by which the aggregate LC Charges exceed the amount deposited by Buyer pursuant to clause (i)(B) preceding. As soon as is reasonably practicable after the expiry date of each undrawn Existing LC, Secured Party shall deliver to the Buyer (x) the amount of any cash collateral posted in accordance with clause (ii) above or (y) if the Buyer has elected the option set forth in clause (i) above, the unused portion of the LC Charges relative to the unused portion of the expired Existing LC then held by Secured Party and an accounting setting forth the application of such LC Charges.

3.8 Liquidation of Portfolio. Buyer agrees that, until the Portfolio has been paid in full or liquidated, it shall service the Loans in the same manner as it services all of its other loans and in accordance with its then existing credit policies and procedures. All payments of principal, interest and fees shall be calculated as set forth in Section 3.3 and distributed in accordance with Section 7. Because of draw downs on the Hold Back Amount or payment by the Obligors or both, there may come a time (the “Buyer Payment Date”) when payments made on account of the Loans shall effectively be entirely for the benefit of the party entitled to payments in accordance with Section 7. From and after that time, the Hold Back Amount may or may not have been entirely depleted. Recognizing that Buyer, at that time, would have no incentive to pursue collection of the remaining balance due on the Loans, it is agreed that on the Buyer Payment Date and during the continuance thereof, Buyer shall be paid a fee determined as follows:

For each day on which the average aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans within the Portfolio was equal to or less than the then applicable Hold Back Amount or Adjusted Hold Back, as the case may be, the amount of each payment to be made as set forth in Section 3.3(d)(ii) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the greater of (a) .00019178 multiplied by the average aggregate principal amount of the Loans within the Portfolio, and (b) $133.34 multiplied by the number of Loans outstanding within the Portfolio for each day in the period of determination.

3.9 Quarterly Report. At the request of Debtor or Secured Party, Buyer shall provide quarterly, a report setting forth the calculation by Buyer of all amounts due pursuant to Section 3.3(a), (b) and (c). At the request of Debtor or Secured Party and at Debtor’s sole cost and expense, Debtor or Secured Party, or its respective agents, servants or employees shall have the right, once in each calendar quarter, to examine the books and records of Buyer solely with respect to Loans and Buyer’s calculation of amounts due under Section 3.

SECTION 4. DELIVERABLES. Following satisfaction or waiver by the applicable party of each of the conditions precedent specified by Section 5, Secured Party shall promptly deliver to Buyer the Xxxx of Sale, executed by Secured Party, substantially in form as appears in Exhibit D, and Secured Party will promptly deliver or cause to be delivered (and in recognition and acknowledgement of Secured Party’s rights as secured party, Debtor agrees to deliver) to Buyer the original Loan Files. At Buyer’s request, Secured Party shall cause each such promissory note to be properly endorsed without recourse (and in recognition and acknowledgement of Secured Party’s rights as secured party, Debtor agrees to endorse each such promissory note) in favor of Buyer (and in the event Debtor does not do so promptly upon request, Debtor hereby authorizes

Secured Party to do so on its behalf) as follows: “Pay to the order of “Keltic Financial Partners LP.”
