time of purchase.
5.2 Reserve

lateral ization. If a "Default" (as defined in this Agreement) shall have
occurred and be continuing, Xxxxxx Capital shall have the right, which may be
exercised in its sole and absolute discretion at any time and from time to time
during the continuance of such Default, to apply all amounts collected with
respect to Accounts Receivable as follows, before any payment from such
collections shall be made to the Company: (i) against the un-reimbursed balance
of the Purchase Price made by Xxxxxx Capital to the Company with respect to
Purchased Receivables; (ii) to the payment of all fees accrued with respect to
the Accounts Receivable purchased by Xxxxxx Capital from the Company, whether or
not such fees have become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement; and (iii) to the payment of any and all other liabilities and
obligations of the Company to Xxxxxx Capital pursuant to this Agreement, the
"Security Agreement" and any other agreement entered into between Xxxxxx Capital
and the Company concurrently herewith (the "Transaction Documents"). For
purposes of this paragraph,
"Company" shall mean and include each person named as the Company in the
preamble of this Agreement and any shareholder, parent, subsidiary, controlling
person or other affiliate.
8. Over-Advances.
While it is anticipated that the Reserve Account will carry a positive balance
most if not all the time, Xxxxxx Capital may, as part of this Commercial
Financing Agreement and to ease the Company's short-term cash-flow problems,
permit the Company to carry an Over-Advance balance on its Reserve Account. An
Over-Advance is defined as a negative balance in the Reserve Account. Upon the
establishment of each such Over-Advance amount, Xxxxxx Capital, in its sole
judgment, shall have the right to charge the Company a one-time processing and
administrative fee of up to four percent of each such amount so established as
an Over-Advance. Xxxxxx Capital may withhold from the Accounts Receivable or the
sums it normally advances such sums as it deems necessary to satisfy any
Over-Advance or negative balance in the Reserve Account. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Xxxxxx Capital may terminate the
Over-Advance facility at any time without notice to the Company as it deems fit.
Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Over-Advance balance at the rate of two
percent per month.
9. Collection
of Accounts Receivable.
9.1 The Company
will instruct all of its Customers obligated with respect to its Accounts
Receivable to mail or deliver payments on such Accounts Receivable directly to
Xxxxxx Capital at its address set forth in the preamble of this Agreement or to
such other address that Xxxxxx Capital may specify in a written notice to the
Company. Each invoice shall bear the following instructions prominently
displayed in large bold type:
“This invoice has
been assigned to Xxxxxx Capital Corporation for the account of LUMEA,
INC., a Nevada corporation, known or trading as LUMEA
STAFFING OF CA, INC., a Nevada corporation, LUMEA
STAFFING, INC..,
a Nevada corporation, and LUMEA
STAFFING OF IL, INC., an Illinois corporation, and must be paid to c/o
Porter Capital Corporation, P. O. Xxx 00000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.”
Such instructions
shall not be rescinded or modified without Xxxxxx Capital's prior written
consent. If, despite such instructions, the Company shall receive any payments
with respect to any Accounts Receivable purchased by Xxxxxx Capital, it shall
receive such payments in trust for the benefit of Xxxxxx Capital, shall
segregate such payments from its other funds, and shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Xxxxxx Capital, in the same form as so received with all necessary
endorsements, all such payments received as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than two business days after the receipt thereof by the Company. If the
Company fails to turn over to Xxxxxx Capital any checks or other form of payment
received by it, or in the event the Company deposits any such checks or payments
into its own account, the Company must deliver to Xxxxxx Capital either the
payment in the identical form received or the cash equivalent of the amount of
the Misdirected Payment within two (2) business days. If the Company fails to
deliver such value within said two (2) business days or if the Company shall
present any invoice to Xxxxxx Capital for an advance against which merchandise
has not been shipped, services have not been rendered or work performed (an
“Invalid Invoice”), this shall be an event of default of this contract, and in
addition, as the exact costs to Xxxxxx Capital of such actions by the Company
are difficult if not impossible to calculate, the Company shall pay to Xxxxxx
Capital the entire invoice amount at once plus liquidated damages equal to
twenty-five percent of the amount so deposited or the Invalid Invoice amount
submitted to Xxxxxx Capital.
3
9.2 Xxxxxx Capital
shall have the full power and authority to collect each Account Receivable,
through legal action or otherwise, and may, in its sole discretion, settle,
compromise, or assign (in whole or in part) the claim for any of the Accounts
Receivable, or otherwise exercise any other right now existing or hereafter
arising with respect to any of the Accounts Receivable, if such action will
facilitate collection. The amount of any reduction resulting from any such
settlement, compromise, assignment or other collection action shall reduce the
balance otherwise due to the Company hereunder. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that Xxxxxx Capital shall have the sole and exclusive right to commence
legal action to collect any Account Receivable. To allow an interval for checks
to clear the federal banking system, Xxxxxx Capital shall have the right to
extend constructive receipt of payments that Xxxxxx Capital receives on behalf
of the Company by three business days for in state checks received and by five
business days for out of state checks received.
9.3 Should Company
receive and deposit or otherwise convert into cash any payment from any account
debtor when such payment was due Xxxxxx Capital, and because the damage to
Xxxxxx Capital cannot be quantified, the Company may be held liable to Xxxxxx
Capital as liquidated damages for three times the amount of such converted
payment or five thousand dollars, whichever is the larger amount (the
“Misdirected Payment Fee”). The enforcement or non-enforcement of these damages
shall not be considered a waiver of any remedy or default, nor shall it be
construed a precedent for future discretionary actions available to Xxxxxx
Capital.
9.4 If Xxxxxx
Capital shall agree that certain Account Debtors' invoices be eligible for
financing between the thirty-first and sixtieth days beyond their net-thirty due
date (i. e., during the period from sixty to ninety days after their origination
date), then these invoices shall be deemed "Special Risk," and a further charge
of one and one-half percent
for each fifteen-day period in which each of these invoices is outstanding will
be collected by Xxxxxx Capital, but ninety days after the origination date these
Special Risk invoices shall be deemed a Customer Dispute and shall be charged
back to the Company's account.
10. Payment
of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnification. The Company will (a) pay or
reimburse Xxxxxx Capital for all of Xxxxxx Capital's out-of-pocket costs and

PERFORMANCE
COVENANT & WAIVER
WHEREAS,
LUMEA, INC., a Nevada corporation, known or trading as LUMEA
STAFFING OF CA, INC., a Nevada corporation, LUMEA
STAFFING, INC.., a Nevada corporation, and LUMEA
STAFFING OF IL, INC., an Illinois corporation, with a primary business

business locations as reflected on attached Exhibit “I” (jointly, individually,
severally and collectively hereinafter referred to as “the "Company"), has
entered into a commercial financing agreement and other related documents dated
as of the date hereof with XXXXXX
CAPITAL CORPORATION, an Alabama corporation with an office for the
transaction of business at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX, XX, 00000; 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx –
Xxxxxxxx X, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000; and 0000 Xxxxx Xxx. Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx
00000, (hereinafter respectively referred to as the "Commercial Financing
Agreement" and "Xxxxxx Capital"), wherein Xxxxxx Capital has agreed to purchase,
at a discount, certain accounts receivable and/or invoices of the Company under
certain terms and conditions; and
WHEREAS,
Xxxxxx Capital is willing to purchase the accounts receivable and/or
invoices from the Company only if the undersigned executes and delivers this
Performance Covenant and Waiver (also referred to herein as the "Guaranty")
guarantying payment to Xxxxxx Capital of any of the Obligations of the Company
(as defined herein) which may become due and payable in the manner hereinafter
provided.
NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten ($10.00) Dollars, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in
order to induce Xxxxxx Capital to enter into the Commercial Financing Agreement,
the undersigned covenants and agrees with Xxxxxx Capital as
follows:
1. Guaranty
of Obligations
- The undersigned, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee
to Xxxxxx Capital full payment and prompt and faithful performance by the
Company of all of its present and future indebtedness and obligations to Xxxxxx
Capital. The words "indebtedness" and "obligations" are used herein in their
most comprehensive sense and include any and all advances, debts, obligations,
and liabilities of the Company heretofore including without limitation
attorneys' fees, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or
unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether the Company may be liable
individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery may be or hereafter
become barred by any statute of limitations or otherwise become unenforceable.
Said indebtedness and obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be collectively
referred to herein as "Obligations."
2. Default - Any one or more of
the following shall be a default hereunder:
|
(a)
|
any default
in the payment or performance of any instrument (including without
limitation the Commercial Financing Agreement), or of the Obligations
hereby guaranteed; or
|
|
(b)
|
any warranty,
representation, statement, or report made or delivered to Xxxxxx Capital
by or on behalf of the Company, or the undersigned, being incorrect,
false, untrue, or misleading when given in any material respect whatever;
or
|
|
(c)
|
a dissolution
of the Company or the transfer, hypothecation, or liquidation of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets;
or
|
|
(d)
|
the sale,
transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or alienation of any shareholder's
interest in the Company.
|
In the event of any
of the foregoing, the Obligations hereby guaranteed shall become, for the
purpose of this Agreement, due and payable by the undersigned forthwith without
demand or notice.
3. Presumption
of Default -
In the event that Xxxxxx Capital shall have purchased an Account
Receivable from the Company which shall not have been paid in full when due at a
time when the Customer to which such Account Receivable was billed (1) has not
become unable to pay its debts because of financial problems or insolvency or
both, (2) has not had the appointment of any receiver or trustee for all or a
substantial portion of its assets, (3) has not filed a general assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or (4) has not had filed against it an involuntary or
voluntary Bankruptcy proceeding, then the failure of the Customer to pay such
Account Receivable shall be presumed to be the result of the Company's breach of
a representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation in the Commercial Financing
Agreement with respect to the Account Receivable to which it
relates.
27
Performance
Covenant
4. Authority
of Officers - Xxxxxx Capital shall not be required to inquire into the
powers of the Company or the officers, directors, agents, acting or purporting
to act in its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the
professed exercise of such powers shall be deemed to be guaranteed
hereunder.
5. Repurchase
of Invoices - Xxxxxx Capital agrees that it generally will refrain from
making credit inquiries of the Company's customers prior to its purchase of
Accounts. Xxxxxx Capital shall rely on the Company to determine a customer's
credit-worthiness when presenting an Account of the Company for purchase and
sale. Furthermore, Xxxxxx Capital agrees to generally refrain from contacting
the customers of the Company from whom it is buying Accounts, unless there is a
breach or default under this Agreement or the Commercial Financing Agreement. It
is acknowledged by the undersigned that as a result of Xxxxxx Capital's
refraining from making credit inquiries, Xxxxxx Capital may be purchasing
Accounts of the Company which fail to meet Xxxxxx Capital's normal underwriting
requirements. As such, the undersigned agree(s) to purchase and Xxxxxx Capital
agrees to sell any Account purchased by Xxxxxx Capital from the Company which
has not been paid in full within 90 days from the date an invoice is mailed by
Xxxxxx Capital to the account debtor/customer of Company and which cannot be
charged back to the Company under the provisions of the Credit Financing
Agreement. The purchase price for any Accounts sold by Xxxxxx Capital to the
undersigned shall be the amount advanced by Xxxxxx Capital plus the discount fee
charged by Xxxxxx Capital. The undersigned shall pay such purchase price for any
sold Accounts to Xxxxxx Capital within three (3) days after oral or written
demand by Xxxxxx Capital that an Account has been sold to the undersigned under
the terms of this Agreement and that payment is due
thereon.
6. Rights
are Independent - The Obligations of the undersigned are independent of
the obligations of the Company under the Commercial Financing Agreement, and
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by Xxxxxx Capital
against the undersigned whether or not the Company is joined in any such action
or actions.
7. Partnership
or Association - If the Company is a partnership or other association,
this Agreement shall be extended to and include, in addition to the undersigned,
the person or persons for the time being and from time to time carrying on the
business now conducted by the Company, notwithstanding any change or changes in
the name, structure, and/or membership of the
Company.
8. Financial
Condition of Company - The undersigned represent to Xxxxxx Capital that
they are now and will be completely familiar with the business, operation, and
overall economic condition of the Company and they hereby waive and relinquish
any duty on the part of Xxxxxx Capital to disclose any matter, fact, or thing
relating to the business, operation, or financial condition of the Company now
known or hereafter known by Xxxxxx Capital.
9. Guarantor's
Direct Benefit - The undersigned hereby represent and warranty that it is
in their direct economic interest to assist the Company because of the
undersigned's position(s) in and/or economic relation(s) with the
Company.
10. Joint
and Several Liability - All of the obligations of the undersigned (if
more than one) hereunder shall be joint and several.
11. Application
of Payments - All moneys available to Xxxxxx Capital for application in
payment or reduction of the Obligations may be applied by Xxxxxx Capital in such
manner and in such amounts and at such time or times and in such order, priority
and proportions as Xxxxxx Capital may see fit to the payment or reduction of
such portion of the Obligations as Xxxxxx Capital may
elect.
12. Modifications
and Extensions - The undersigned hereby consents that from time to time,
before or after any default by Company, with notice to or assent from the
undersigned, any security at any time held by or available to Xxxxxx Capital for
any obligation of Company for all or any portion of the Obligations, may be
exchanged, surrendered or released and any obligation of Company, may be
changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived
or released in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived, and
may extend further credit in any manner whatsoever to Company, and generally
deal with Company or any such security as Xxxxxx Capital may see fit; and the
undersigned shall remain bound under this Guaranty notwithstanding any such
exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension,
continuance, compromise, waiver, inaction, extension of further credit or other
dealings.
13. Waiver
of Notice - The undersigned hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance of
this Performance Covenant and Waiver and Guaranty and notice of the making any
advance by Xxxxxx Capital to Company under the Commercial Financing Agreement;
(b) presentment and demand for payment of the Obligations or any portion thereof; (c)
protest and notice of dishonor or default to the undersigned or to any other
person or party with respect to the Obligations or any portion thereof; (d) all
notices to which the undersigned might otherwise be entitled provided notice is
given to the Company if required pursuant to the terms of the Commercial
Financing Agreement and; (e) any demand for payment under this
Guaranty.
28
Performance
Covenant
14. Guaranty
of Payment - This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and the
undersigned further waives any right to require that any action be brought
against Company or any other person or party or to require that resort be had to
any security.
15. Successors
and Assigns - Each reference herein to Xxxxxx Capital shall be deemed to
include its successors and assigns, in whose favor the provisions of this
Guaranty shall also inure. Each reference herein to the undersigned shall be
deemed to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the undersigned, all of whom shall be bound by the
provisions of this Guaranty, provided, however, that the undersigned shall in no
event or under any circumstance have the right, without obtaining the prior
written consent of Xxxxxx Capital, to assign or transfer the undersigned's
obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, to any
other person, party or entity.
16. Non-Waiver
- No delay on the part of Xxxxxx Capital in exercising any right or remedy under
this Guaranty or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver in whole
or in part of any such right or remedy. No notice to or demand on the
undersigned shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of the undersigned
or the right of the Xxxxxx Capital to take further action without notice or
demand as provided in this Guaranty.
17. Further
Modification - This Performance Covenant and Waiver may only be modified,
amended, changed or terminated by an agreement in writing signed by Xxxxxx
Capital and the undersigned. No waiver of any term, covenant or provision of
this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing by Xxxxxx Capital and
if so given by Xxxxxx Capital shall only be effective in the specific instance
in which given.
18. Unconditional
Guaranty - The undersigned acknowledges that this Performance Covenant
and Guaranty and the undersigned's obligations under this Guaranty are and shall
at all times continue to be absolute and unconditional in all respects, and
shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements
or circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a
defense to this Guaranty and the obligations of the undersigned under this
Guaranty or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without
limitation, the Company) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of the
undersigned thereunder or otherwise with respect to the Obligations. This
Performance Covenant and Waiver sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of Xxxxxx Capital and the undersigned, and the undersigned
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert
any defense, set-off, counterclaim or cross claim of any nature whatsoever with
respect this Guaranty or the obligations of any other person or party
(including, without limitation, the Company) relating to this Guaranty or the
obligations of the undersigned hereunder or otherwise with respect to the
Obligations in any action or proceeding brought by Xxxxxx Capital to collect the
Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of the

waives, and Xxxxxx Capital by its acceptance of this Guaranty irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, any and all right to trial by jury in any action, suit
or counterclaim arising in connection with, out of or otherwise relating to this
Guaranty.
20. No
Subrogation - Notwithstanding any payments made by the undersigned
pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty, the undersigned shall have no right
of subrogation in and to the Commercial Financing Agreement or any other
security held by or available to Xxxxxx Capital for the Obligations or the
payment thereof until the Obligations have been paid in full to Xxxxxx
Capital.
21. Governing
Law - This Guaranty is, and shall be deemed to be, a contract entered
into under and pursuant to the laws of the State of Alabama and shall be in all
respects governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of Alabama. No defense given or allowed by the laws of any other
state or country shall be interposed in any action or proceeding hereon unless
such defense is also given or allowed by the laws of the State of Alabama. If a
law, which applies to this Agreement and which sets maximum loan charges, is
finally interpreted so that the fees charged by Xxxxxx Capital to the
undersigned or other charges collected or to be collected in connection with
this Agreement or the Commercial Financing Agreement exceed the permitted limits
under any applicable law or statute, then: (i) any such charge shall be reduced
by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (ii)
any sums already collected from the undersigned which exceeded permitted limits
will be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of any

MISDIRECTED
PAYMENT
The Company and
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (“CLIENT”) agrees to the following:
Pursuant to the Commercial Finance Agreement of this date, CLIENT agrees that
even though Xxxxxx Capital Corporation (“PCC”) and CLIENT shall use their joint
best efforts to notify all customers/account debtors of CLIENT of the assignment
by CLIENT to PCC of certain accounts, some payments may be sent directly to
CLIENT which are the sole and exclusive property of PCC (i.e., payment on
invoices financed by PCC). In such circumstances, CLIENT promises not to
negotiate said check or other forms of payment, but to hold them in trust and
safekeeping for the benefit of PCC and to turn over to PCC the exact form of
payment received. That is, CLIENT agrees to turn over to PCC, immediately and in
kind, any such check or other form of payment(s), which is the property of PCC.
Further with respect thereto:
|
1.
|
CLIENT
acknowledges that it has been notified by PCC of the potential civil or
criminal liability or both for failure to fully comply herewith, that even
the cashing, depositing and/or negotiation of any payment which is the
property of PCC could result in civil and criminal liability or both and
the penalties attendant thereto. Even if some employee of CLIENT
negotiates such a check payment without CLIENT’s direct knowledge, CLIENT
will be held liable for the acts of CLIENT’s employees, agents, and
servants.
|
|
2.
|
CLIENT
acknowledges that it has been notified by PCC that an indebtedness by
CLIENT to PCC arising under circumstances as described herein above can
constitute a debt which cannot be discharged in a Court of Bankruptcy, and
that the conversion of check payments can be deemed an intentional act
even though CLIENT did not specifically intend to take or convert said
payments or damage PCC or both.
|
|
3.
|
CLIENT
further acknowledges that it has been notified by PCC of handling
procedures for any payments accepted via credit card for an outstanding
invoice, shall be remitted to PCC the same day as credit card payment is
accepted and CLIENT shall provide a copy of the receipt or bank
transaction for said amount.
