Such payment of monies shall include the use by Merchant's customers of any Payment Device (as defined herein) to purchase Merchant's products and/or services that are processed by Merchants' card processor anytime during which the Amount Sold is outstanding (“Credit Card Receivables”, ACH Receivables and Credit Card Receivables are hereafter collectively or independently referred to as “Future Receivables”).

Merchant agrees to remit to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Daily Percentage of the Future Receivables specified above until the Amount Sold has been forwarded to Purchaser. Purchaser purchases the Future Receivables free and clear of all claims, liens or encumbrances of any kind whatsoever. Merchant agrees that this Agreement applies to Merchant's entire right, title and interest in the Future Receivables up to the Amount Sold. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Amount Sold has been delivered to Purchaser subject to the terms of this Agreement. Merchant and Purchaser agree that this sale and purchase is final and Merchant has no right to repurchase or resell the Future Receivables or any portion thereof. Merchant, any individual signing this agreement and Purchaser (each individually referred to herein as “Party” and collectively referred to herein as “Parties”) agree that the Purchase Price paid to Merchant is the price paid to purchase Merchant's Future Receivables and that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is a purchase and sale of the Future Receivables. The Parties hereby agree that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not a loan, a forbearance of money lent or any similar loan or lending transaction. Merchant understands, agrees and represents that this transaction is made for business or commercial purposes only. |
2. | Remittance of Amount Sold. The Merchant hereby agrees to deliver the Amount Sold to the Purchaser as (i) the Expected Daily Remittance (based on a Specified Percentage) of Future Receivables by debiting, via ACH transaction, Merchant’s bank account (a “Direct Debit”). Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall choose whether to receive the Amount Sold from the Merchant either by Direct Split or Direct Debit, (ii) as a Specified Percentage of daily amount of Credit Card Receivables directly from Merchant’s card processor (“Credit Card Split”) or (iii) daily amount of Future Receivables directly through a Lockbox arrangement “Lockbox”); or Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to Merchant, change the method by which it will accept the remittance of the Amount Sold, and provide the Merchant with updated remittance instructions. The following details each remittance type: |
a. | If Purchaser chooses to receive the remittance of the Amount Sold via a Direct Debit as the Expected Daily Remittance (based on a Specified Percentage) then Merchant agrees as follows: |
1. | Bank Account. Merchant shall deposit all of Merchant’s Future Receivables into a bank account approved by Purchaser (the “Account”). |
2. | Automated Clearinghouse for Expected Daily Remittance. The Merchant hereby authorizes Purchaser and its agents to initiate Automated Clearinghouse (“ACH”) payments equal to the Expected Daily Remittance of all deposits made into the Account each business day until the Purchaser has received Future Receivables equal to the Amount Sold. |
3. | Merchant to Maintain the Account. Merchant understands that it is responsible for ensuring that the Expected Daily Amount to be debited by Purchaser remains in the Account and will be held responsible for any fees incurred by Purchaser resulting from a rejected ACH attempt or an Event of Default (as defined herein). |
4. | Overdraft or Rejected Transactions the Responsibility of Merchant. The Purchaser is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from Purchaser ACH debiting the Expected Daily Remittance Amount. |
5. | Agreed Changes to the Expected Daily Remittance Amount. Unless mutually agreed, in writing, and only based on a documented change in the Merchant’s Future Receivables, Purchaser will continue to pull the Expected Daily Remittance amount. However, if Merchant provides written evidence, in the form of a complete set of invoices (or its equivalent), or natural events that have changed or impaired the Merchant’s ability to generate Future Receivables, and only with ongoing electronic surveillance, the Purchaser will agree to adjust the amount of the Expected Daily Remittance. It is the Merchant’s responsibility to communicate this at least one week in advance of a requested change and to cooperate with the Purchaser in good faith. |
6. | ACH authorization. The Merchant shall provide all necessary ACH authorizations to the Purchaser as set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement. |
Page: 3 Deal Application ID : 21988
b. | If Purchaser chooses to accept the remittance of the Specified Percentage of the Amount Sold through Credit Card Split, Merchant will enter into an agreement with a card processor (“Processor”) acceptable to Purchaser, and authorize Processor to pay the Specified Percentage directly to Purchaser until Purchaser receives the total Amount Sold. Merchant acknowledges that Processor will be acting on behalf of Purchaser to collect the Specified Percentage. Merchant irrevocably grants Processor the right to hold the Specified Percentage and to pay Purchaser directly (at, before or after the time Processor credits or remits to Merchant the balance of the Amount Sold not sold by Merchant to Purchaser) until Purchaser receives the entire Amount Sold. Processor may provide Purchaser with all information Purchaser deems pertinent. Merchant agrees to hold Purchaser harmless for the Processor’s actions or omissions. |
c. | If Purchaser chooses to accept the remittance through a Lockbox, Purchaser is authorized by Merchant to receive remittance to a specified bank account (“Lockbox”) directly from the Merchant's Processor as well as Merchant’s invoiced customers (the “Merchant’s Counterparties”). This Authorization shall continue until the Purchaser has received an amount equal to the Purchased Amount, plus any additional remittance required. Merchant further authorizes the Merchant’s Counterparties to provide to the Purchaser and its agents all information necessary to Purchaser to determine the amount to be paid to the Merchant and initiate such ACH payments to the Specified Account. Upon receipt of each ACH transfer into the Lockbox, Purchase will retain the Specified Percentage as well as the required minimum balance for the Lockbox (the “Required Minimum Balance”). Purchaser will ACH transfer the difference between the received funds and the retained funds plus the minimum balance into the Account. |
3. | Electronic Surveillance of Account. Merchant will provide Purchaser with ongoing anonymous electronic surveillance on a daily basis for the entire period during which this Agreement is in effect. Any change to Merchant’s bank account, access code, or permissions from its bank must be remedied immediately. Merchant must provide Purchaser all required access codes and allow Purchaser to electronically monitor the Account (e.g., using the anonymous Yodlee link provided by the Purchaser to the Merchant). This access both ensures that the Merchant is depositing its Future Receivables into the Account and provides written evidence to enable the Purchaser to be able to make adjustments to the Expected Remittance Amount, if necessary. If the electronic access to Merchant’s Account is temporarily disabled for any reason, Merchant will, as soon as possible, work with the Purchaser to re-establish the link between the Account and the Purchaser. Any change to Merchants’ Account, access codes or permission from the bank to access the Account or receive ACH transactions from the Account must be remedied immediately. The failure by the Merchant to comply with this Section 3 shall constitute a breach/Event of Default of this Agreement. |
4. | Timing, Method of Payment, Processing Trial. Merchant and Purchaser agree that Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to Merchant only at a time, and through a method, acceptable to Purchaser and at Purchaser's sole discretion. Merchant and Purchaser also agree that Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may refuse to pay the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to Merchant and cancel this Agreement at any time prior to the Purchase Price being paid. Prior to paying the Purchase Price, to the extent that the Purchaser chooses to receive its Amount Sold pursuant to a Direct Split, as described above, Purchaser may conduct a site inspection and shall conduct a processing trial (the “Processing Trial”) to determine whether the Daily Percentage will be correctly processed and/or reported by Merchant's card processor or bank to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser determines to conduct a Processing Trial, Merchant acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser will make its final decision, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether to purchase the Future Receivables after completion of the Processing Trial. If Purchaser conducts a Processing Trial and determines not to purchase the Future Receivables, any receivables remitted to Purchaser during the Processing Trial shall be returned to Merchant. |
5. | Waiver. There shall be effected no waiver by failure on the part of Purchaser to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Purchaser of any right under this Agreement preclude any other future exercise of any right. The remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or equity. |
6. | Authorization to File Notice of Sale and Security Interest. Merchant hereby authorizes Purchaser to file one or more financing statement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to evidence -and perfect the sale of the Future Receivables and any continuation statements or amendments thereto. The UCC financing statement shall state that the sale of the Future Receivables is intended to be a sale and not an assignment for security. |
7. | Power of Attorney. Merchant irrevocably appoints Purchaser 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 Purchaser from any third party, or any breach by Merchant set forth in Section 10 or any other section of this Agreement or the occurrence of an event of default as described and defined in this Agreement, 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 Collateral; to receive, endorse and collect any checks, notes, drafts, instruments, documents or chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above; (iv) to sign Merchant’s name on any invoice, xxxx of lading or assignment directing customers or account debtors to make payment directly to Purchaser; and (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding which Purchaser may deem necessary for the collection of any of the unpaid Amount Sold, or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to the payment of the Amount Sold. |

8. | Refunds and Purchaser's Risk. Purchaser does NOT CHARGE ANY ORIGINATION OR BROKER FEES. If Merchant is charged such a fee, it is not being charged by Purchaser or an agent of Purchaser. Additionally, because this is not a loan, Purchaser does not charge any interest, finance charges, points, late fees or similar fees (except as permitted by applicable law in connection with civil judgments). Purchaser is purchasing the Future Receivables at a discount. Because the transaction evidenced by this Agreement is not a loan, there are no specific scheduled payments and no repayment term. If Merchant's business slows down and Merchant's Future Receivables decrease or if Merchant closes its business or ceases to process Payment Devices and Merchant has not violated any of the representations, warranties and covenants provided in paragraph 10 below, there shall be no default or breach of this Agreement. Purchaser is purchasing the Future Receivables and Purchaser assumes the risk that Merchant's business may fail or be adversely affected by conditions outside the control of Merchant provided Merchant has not breached a representation, warranty or covenant set forth in paragraph 10 below. A returned item refund of $35.00 will be assessed if, for any reason, (a) a check, draft or similar instrument issued by the Merchant or an individual that signs this Agreement is not honored or cannot be processed; or (b) an electronic debit is returned unpaid or cannot be processed. Merchant and any individual that signs this Agreement authorize Purchaser to resubmit returned payments in its discretion. At Purchaser's option, Purchaser will assess this fee the first time a payment is not honored or paid, even if it is later honored or paid following resubmission. Any check, draft or similar instrument may be collected electronically if returned for insufficient or uncollected funds. Additionally, a blocked account refund of $100.00 will be assessed as described above as well as a breach refund of $2,500.00 in the event that the Merchant violates the terms of this agreement, which violation remains uncured for more than 5 days. These refund will be paid in order to reimburse the Purchaser for the costs that it incurs in connection with returned items, blocked accounts and breaches, respectively. |
9. | Right to Cancel. Merchant may cancel this transaction at any time prior to midnight of the fifth business day after Purchaser forwards the Purchase Price to Merchant. In order to cancel the transaction, Merchant must provide notice to the Purchaser and return the full Purchase Price to Purchaser within five days of receipt of the Purchase Price. |
10. | Merchant's Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

Additionally, if any of the representations above are not true as of the date hereof, this would also constitute a breach of this Agreement. |
TO THE EXTENT THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE MERCHANT THAT IS FALSE OR MISLEADING, MERCHANT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE IN BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT AND PURCHASER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ANY REMEDIES UNDER LAW. ANY MISREPRESENTATION MADE BY MERCHANT OR OWNER OR ANY REPRESENTATIVES OF MERCHANT OR OWNER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT MAY CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE CAUSE OF ACTION FOR FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION.

11. | Specified Percentage. Purchaser agrees to accept the remittance of the Specified Percentage in one of the following ways: (i) directly from Merchant's card processor; (ii) by debiting the Merchant's bank account; or (iii) by debiting a deposit account established by Merchant that is approved by Purchaser. Purchaser may decide in its sole discretion which of the three methods it will accept for the remittance of the Specified Percentage and will notify Merchant prior to delivering the Purchase Price to Merchant. |
If Purchaser agrees to accept the remittance of the Specified Percentage directly from the Merchant's card processor, Merchant agrees to enter into an agreement with a card processor acceptable to Purchaser (“Processor”) that authorizes Processor to pay the Specified Percentage directly to Purchaser rather than to Merchant until the Amount Sold has been forwarded by Processor to Purchaser. This authorization shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional. Merchant hereby irrevocably grants Processor the right to hold the Specified Percentage and to pay Purchaser directly (at, before or after the time Processor credits or remits to Merchant the balance of the Future Receivables not sold by Merchant to Purchaser) until the entire Amount Sold has been forwarded to Purchaser. Merchant authorizes Purchaser to act as Merchant's agent for purposes of accessing and retrieving transaction history information regarding Merchant from Processor and any additional card processors Merchant may utilize during the term of this Agreement. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that Processor may provide Purchaser with Merchant's Payment Device processing history, including without limitation Merchant's chargeback experience and any communications about Merchant received by Processor from a card processing system.
Merchant acknowledges that Purchaser does not have any power or authority to control the Processor's actions with respect to the authorization, clearing, settlement and other processing of transactions and that Purchaser is not responsible for the Processor's actions. Merchant agrees to hold Purchaser harmless for the Processor's actions or omissions.
If Purchaser agrees to accept the remittance of the Specified Percentage by debiting the Merchant's bank account, Merchant irrevocably authorizes Purchaser or its designated successor or assignee to withdraw the Specified Percentage by initiating a debit via the Automatic Clearing House (ACH) system to the Merchants' bank account (as listed in Merchant's application) or such other bank account that Merchant maintains (“Bank Account”). Merchant agrees to complete and execute a written ACH authorization (the “ACH Authorization) permitting Purchaser to debit the Bank Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any such ACH Authorization is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser withdraws an incorrect amount from Merchant's Bank Account, Merchant authorizes Purchaser to credit the Bank Account for the appropriate amount. Merchant and each Guarantor also authorize Purchaser to act as an agent for purposes of accessing and retrieving account activity and account balance information from any bank accounts of Merchant or Guarantor(s).
If Purchaser agrees to accept the remittance of the Specified Percentage by debiting a deposit account established by Merchant that is approved by Purchaser (“Approved Account”), Merchant agrees to complete all necessary forms to establish the Approved Account. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that any funds deposited into the Approved Account by Merchant's card processor will remain in the Approved Account until the Specified Percentage is withdrawn by Purchaser and then the remaining funds, minus any amount required to maintain the minimum balance for the Approved Account, will be forwarded to Merchant's Bank Account. If the Approved Account requires a minimum account balance, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, fund the required minimum balance for the Approved Account out of the Purchase Price.
12. | Telephone Monitoring, Recording and Contacts. Purchaser may choose to monitor and/or record telephone calls with Merchant and its owners, employees or agents. These calls are monitored and/or recorded solely for evaluation by supervisors, training, monitoring for compliance purposes, collections, and quality control. By signing this Agreement, Merchant agrees that any call between Purchaser and Merchant or a representative of Merchant may be monitored and/or recorded for these purposes. Merchant further agrees that: (i) it has an established business relationship with Purchaser and may be contacted from time to time regarding transactions with Purchaser by telephone, text message or email; (ii) such contacts are not considered unsolicited or inconvenient; and (iii) any such contact may be made using any wireless, mobile cellular or other number Merchant or its representative gave Purchaser, using any e-mail address Merchant or its representative gave Purchaser, or using an automated dialing and announcing or similar device, unless prohibited by law. This authorization is binding upon Merchant upon signing this Agreement and shall not be deemed withdrawn or revoked should Purchaser determine not to purchase the Future Receivables from Merchant. |
13. | Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be binding upon Merchant as well as its successors, assigns, related companies and Affiliated Entity (as defined below) as well as any company or person (or group of persons working together) that purchases substantially all of the Merchant’s assets or a majority of its voting interests and/or control over the Merchant. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser, its successors and assigns. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the Parties, and no representations, agreements, or understandings of any kind, either written or oral, shall be binding upon the parties unless expressly contained herein. This Agreement is a complete and exhaustive statement of the terms of the parties' agreement, which may not be explained or supplemented by evidence of consistent or inconsistent additional terms or contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement.

If any of the provisions of this Agreement are determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining provisions shall not be affected in any manner. All Parties hereby acknowledge having the full power and authority to enter into and perform the obligations under this Agreement. Merchant and Guarantor(s) agree to execute such further and additional documents, instruments, and writings as may be necessary, proper, required, desirable, or convenient for the purpose of fully effectuating the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

14. | Governing Law This Agreement, all transactions it contemplates, the entire relationship between the Parties, and all Claims (as defined in paragraph 15 below), whether such Claims are based in tort, contract or arise under statute or in equity, including all Claims involving an Affiliated Entity of Purchaser, shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with: (i) the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would require the application of any other law; and (ii) federal law for the limited purpose of the Arbitration Agreement (paragraph 17 below). Affiliated Entity means and includes: (i) any entity or person that has owned or controlled Purchaser or any entity that has been owned or controlled by Purchaser; (ii) any predecessor or successor entities of Purchaser; (iii) any entity or person who at any time owns or holds an equity or security interest in the Future Receivables and the interest was granted by Purchaser; and (iv) all officers, directors, owners and employees of Purchaser, its parent company or any Affiliated Entity; and (v) any parent companies of any Affiliated Entity and their subsidiaries. |
15. | Disputes Any claim, dispute or controversy between any of the Parties or between any of the Parties and an Affiliated Entity arising from or relating in any way to the relationship between the Parties, including any relationship with an Affiliated Entity, whether such claims are based in tort, contract, or arise under statute or in equity (referred to herein as “Claim” or “Claims”), shall be resolved only as provided in this Agreement. Claim includes but is not limited to: any disputes regarding or relating to this Agreement or the application provided in connection with this transaction; any solicitation or advertising materials; any activities relating to the maintenance or servicing of the transaction; any disputes arising from any collection activity related to a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement; any disputes concerning the processing or collection of Future Receivables; any disputes regarding information obtained by Purchaser from, or reported by Purchaser to, Merchant, credit bureaus or others; and any disputes resulting from or relating to, in any way, any previous relationship, agreement or contract between the Parties or Merchant and an Affiliated Entity including but not limited to an agreement under which Merchant sold Future Receivables to Purchaser or an Affiliated Entity. The Parties hereby agree that this provision amends and supersedes any provision in a previous agreement entered into between the Parties or between Merchant and an Affiliated Entity regardless of whether the previous agreement has been satisfied, terminated or is in default. Accordingly, any Claims between the Parties or made against or by an Affiliated Entity shall no longer be governed by the dispute resolution provisions contained in a previous agreement but shall be governed by paragraphs 14 through 19 of this Agreement; provided, however, that any changes this provision makes to previous agreements between the Parties or made against or by an Affiliated Entity shall not apply in any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding commenced before the date of this Agreement. |
16. | Litigation. If a Claim is filed in court, the Claim must be filed in the State of New York and the Parties hereby agree that the exclusive venue for all Claims filed in court shall be in the State of New York. No court action may be brought in any other state or jurisdiction except as necessary to enforce a valid security interest or enforce a judgment entered in New York. The Parties hereby waive any claim against or objection to the in personam jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York. |
NO CLAIM FILED IN COURT WILL BE HEARD BY A JURY AND ANY CLAIM WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. NO COURT MAY ORDER, PERMIT OR CERTIFY A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL LITIGATION OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. NO COURT MAY ORDER OR PERMIT A JOINDER OF PARTIES, UNLESS BOTH MERCHANT AND PURCHASER CONSENT TO SUCH JOINDER IN WRITING.
17. | ARBITRATION Any Party may elect to resolve any Claim by neutral, binding arbitration. An election to arbitrate a Claim may be made by any Party instead of filing an action in court or in response to a claim, counterclaim or cross claim filed in court by any Party. If a Party requests arbitration, all Claims (including counterclaims and cross claims) any Party may have against any other Party or Affiliated Entity, whether such Claims are deemed to be compulsory or permissive in law, shall be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to this paragraph 17 (referred to herein as the “Arbitration Agreement”). The failure to bring such a Claim is a waiver of, and bars, the bringing of such a Claim in any subsequent arbitration or court action. Any arbitration hearing that requires the attendance of the Parties shall take place in the federal judicial district in the State of New York. The Party initiating the arbitration proceeding may select from the following arbitration administrators, which will apply the appropriate rules for commercial disputes in effect at the time the Claim is filed with the arbitration organization (“Arbitration Rules”): the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), JAMS or any other organization the Parties agree to in writing. If neither AAA nor JAMS is able or willing to serve as the arbitration administrator and the Parties are unable to agree on a replacement administrator or arbitrator(s), then a court of competent jurisdiction will appoint an administrator or arbitrator(s). For information on arbitration fees and costs, a copy of the Arbitration Rules, or to file a claim contact AAA at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000, xxx.xxx.xxx (phone 0-000-000-0000) or JAMS at 000 Xxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxx 00, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx (phone 0-000-000-0000). In the event of a conflict between the Arbitration Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement shall govern. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction and may be enforced by any court having jurisdiction over that judgment. If a Party elects arbitration and the other Party refuses to arbitrate, the Party electing arbitration may seek a court order enforcing this Arbitration Agreement. In that event, the court shall determine any issues regarding enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, including the validity and effect of the class action waiver (set forth below), but all other issues shall be decided by the arbitrator. All statutes of limitation that otherwise would apply to an action brought in court will apply in arbitration.
NO CLAIM SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION WILL BE HEARD BY A JURY AND ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. NO ARBITRATOR MAY ORDER, PERMIT OR CERTIFY A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL LITIGATION OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION. NO ARBITRATOR MAY ORDER OR PERMIT A JOINDER OF PARTIES, UNLESS BOTH MERCHANT AND PURCHASER CONSENT TO SUCH JOINDER IN WRITING. |

18. | Remedies In the event Merchant breaches, any of the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to the representations, warranties and covenants made in paragraph 9, Purchaser shall be entitled to all remedies available under law. In any action for damages, Purchaser shall be entitled to damages equal to the Amount Sold less the amount received by Purchaser. Merchant and the individuals signing this Agreement hereby agree that Purchaser may electronically debit from any of Merchant's or the individual signatory's bank accounts via ACH or otherwise all or any portion of the Amount Sold or may instruct Merchant's processor to forward to Purchaser all or any portion of the Amount Sold outstanding if Merchant breaches this Agreement. In addition to any other remedies provided Purchaser under this Agreement, in the event that Merchant changes or permits the change of the Processor accepted by Purchaser, utilizes the services of an additional card processor or changes the Account, Purchaser shall have the right, without waiving any of its other rights or remedies and without notice to Merchant or Guarantor(s), to notify the new or additional card processor or the bank where the new Account is located, as the case may be, of the sale of the Amount Sold of Future Receivables hereunder and to direct such new or additional processor or bank to make payment to Purchaser of all or any portion of the amounts received or held by such card processor or bank for or on behalf of Merchant to pay any amounts Purchaser is entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement. Merchant hereby grants to Purchaser an irrevocable power of attorney and hereby appoints Purchaser and its designees as Merchant's attorney-in- fact to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to direct such new or additional card processor to make payment to Purchaser as contemplated by this paragraph. |
The transaction(s) governed by this Agreement involves interstate commerce and the Parties agree that arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq.) and the Arbitration Rules and not by any state law concerning arbitration. The arbitrator will be required to follow relevant law and applicable judicial precedent to arrive at a decision and shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court. The cost of any arbitration proceeding shall be divided as follows: (i) if a Party other than Purchaser or an Affiliated Entity initiates arbitration and the damages claimed are less than $25,000 or Purchaser or an Affiliated Entity initiate arbitration, Purchaser shall pay all arbitration fees and costs; (ii) if anyone other than Purchaser or an Affiliated Entity initiates arbitration and the damages claimed are $25,000 or more, the parties to the arbitration shall split the fees and costs for arbitration equally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party other than Purchaser believes the applicable cost of arbitration may be too burdensome, that Party may seek a waiver of costs under the applicable Arbitration Rules. If such a request is made but denied by the arbitration organization, Purchaser will consider a written request to either advance or pay all or part of the costs. If arbitration is elected, each Party shall be responsible for its own attorney, witness and consulting fees provided the prevailing Party may seek reimbursement of attorney fees and arbitration costs if they prevail as provided in paragraph 16 below. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the rest shall remain enforceable. If the waiver of class action rights is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement shall be unenforceable.
19. | Attorney's Fees and Costs. In the event Merchant defaults, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Merchant and Guarantors all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees and third party collection costs, including all such costs and fees incurred in the event of a bankruptcy filing by Merchant or Guarantors. |
20. | Reporting: By signing this Agreement you authorize Purchaser to obtain a credit report and any background report on the Merchant deemed necessary by Purchaser and any individual that signs this Agreement for purposes of deciding whether to approve the purchase of the Amount Sold or for any update, renewal, or for evaluating the qualification of Merchant for other products of Purchaser or Affiliated Entities and for any other lawful purpose. The report Purchaser obtains may include, but is not limited to, the business' or individuals' credit history or similar characteristics, employment and education verifications, social security verification, criminal and civil history, Department of Motor Vehicle records, any other public records, and any other information Purchaser deems relevant. The reports will be used by Purchaser to determine if it will proceed with the Purchase of the Future Receivables from Merchant and shall not be used for any other purposes. |
21. | INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY OF GUARANTOR(S) FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. By signing this Agreement on behalf of Merchant AND ON THEIR OWN BEHALF (each such signer a Guarantor), the Guarantors (defined as the Owners that have signed below) hereby assume and, jointly and severally, guarantee those obligations of the Merchant arising under this Agreement as set forth above and in Appendix B below.

APPENDIX A
ACH Authorization Agreement
This Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Collections (ACH Debits) is part of (and incorporated by reference into) the Future Receivables Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”). Merchant should keep this important legal document for Merchant’s records. This authorization agreement (the ACH Authorization) is entered into pursuant to the Future Receivables Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated 8/4/2017 between the undersigned Merchant and Libertas Funding LLC (the “Purchaser”). Terms used and not defined herein will have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.
The individual signing this ACH Authorization on behalf of Merchant certifies to Purchaser that he or she is a duly authorized check signer on the financial institution account identified below, that he or she is authorized to enter into this ACH Authorization on behalf of the Merchant, and that the Merchant will be bound by all the terms of this ACH Authorization.
This authorization shall remain in effect until the sooner of (a) such time that Purchaser has received the Purchased Amount under the Agreement, or (b) Purchaser permits Merchant to revoke this ACH Authorization, as evidenced in writing to Merchant.
The undersigned Merchant hereby authorizes Purchaser to initiate debit or credit entries from and to Merchants Account at the bank specified below. Merchant and Purchaser agree to be bound by the applicable rules set forth by the National Automated Clearinghouse Association.
Furthermore, if any such ACH transactions should be returned for insufficient funds, Merchant authorizes Purchaser to reattempt to collect such amounts by ACH, and in any such case, collect a fee as specified in the Agreement.
Merchant further agrees that a breach of this ACH Authorization will constitute a breach of the Agreement.
Any capitalized term(s) that are not otherwise defined shall retain the same meaning set forth in the Future Receivables Sale Agreement.
DISBURSEMENT OF RECEIVABLES SALE PROCEEDS. By signing below, Merchant authorizes Purchaser to disburse the Purchase Price, less the amount of any applicable setup fee, by initiating an ACH credit, wire transfer, or similar means to the checking account indicated below (or a substitute checking account Merchant later identifies and is acceptable to Purchaser) (hereinafter referred to as the “Designated Checking Account”) in the disbursal amount set forth in the accompanying Future Receivables Sale Agreement.
COLLECTION OF FUNDS ARISING FROM FUTURE RECEIPTS. By signing below, Merchant authorizes Purchaser to collect amounts Purchaser is entitled to receive under the Agreement by initiating ACH Debits of the Specified Percentage of Merchant’s daily receivables to the Designated Checking Account each business day until Purchaser receives the Amount Sold. At the time of execution of the Future Receivables Sale Agreement, the Parties agree that the Purchased Percentage equates to the Dollar Amount of Purchased Percentage set forth in the Agreement, and that the Dollar Amount of Purchased Percentage shall be debited each business day. However, Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the Dollar Amount of Purchased Percentage may change and fluctuate so that it directly correlates to the fluctuation of the amount of Future Receivables generated by Merchant. Purchaser will debit Merchants Account in the amount set forth in the Agreement, as may be modified from time to time by agreement of the Parties. Purchaser acknowledges that no prior notification will be provided in advance of debits or credits authorized under the Agreement.
Merchant authorizes Purchaser to increase the amount of any scheduled ACH debit entry or assess multiple ACH debits for the amount of any previously scheduled payment(s) that was not paid because Merchant’s financial institution was not open or was not able to process ACH transactions. If a transaction is rejected by Merchant’s financial institution for any reason other than termination of this authorization, including without limitation insufficient funds, Merchant understands that Purchaser may, at its discretion, attempt to process the transaction again as permitted under the NACHA Rules. Merchant also authorizes Purchaser to initiate ACH entries to correct any erroneous payment transaction. Merchant understands that Merchant is responsible for ensuring that funds arising from Future Receivables of Merchant remain in the Designed Checking Account each day until Purchaser debits the amount to which it is entitled under the Future Receivables Sale Agreement. Merchant agrees to notify Purchaser promptly if there are any changes to the account and routing numbers of the Designated Checking Account. Purchaser is not responsible for any overdrafts, rejected transactions, or other fees that may result from credits or debits initiated under this Authorization Agreement. This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until Purchaser has remitted the full amount of the Amount Sold under the Agreement. The origination of ACH transactions to the Designated Checking Account must comply with, and both Merchant and Purchaser agree to be bound by, the provisions of applicable law and the NACHA Rules. If Merchant’s financial institution rejects Purchaser’s debits for any reason, Merchant is still responsible for making timely remittances of the Purchased Percentage to Purchaser each business day, pursuant to the Agreement.
BUSINESS PURPOSE ACCOUNT. By signing below, Merchant attests that the Designated Checking Account was established for business purposes and not primarily for personal, family or household purposes. The individual signing below on behalf of Merchant certifies that he/she is an authorized signer on the Designated Checking Account. Merchant will not dispute any ACH transaction initiated pursuant to this Authorization Agreement, provided the transaction corresponds to the terms of this Authorization Agreement. Merchant requests the financial institution that holds the Designated Checking Account to honor all ACH entries initiated in accordance with this Authorization Agreement.
