SALE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
I. GENERAL TERMS
1.1 Sale of Receipts. Seller and Purchaser intend that the transfer of the interest in the Receipts from Seller to Purchaser constitutes a forward sale, and not a loan, for all legal, practical and business purposes. Seller agrees that the Purchase Price equals the fair market value of the Receipts being purchased as of the date sold that are expected to come into existence in the future in the ordinary course of the operation of Seller’s business. Title to, responsibility for and risk of loss of the interest in the Receipts shall pass from the Seller to the Purchaser upon execution of this Agreement with respect to the Purchased Amount. In addition:
(a) as further set forth in the Security Agreement, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Receipts, which security interest shall secure the payment of the Purchase Price and all other obligations of Seller under this Agreement. Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser to file any financing statements deemed necessary by Purchaser to perfect or maintain Purchaser’s interest in the Receipts;
(b) the parties acknowledge that the delivery of the Purchase Price is not a payment in whole or in part for the use or forbearance of money, but rather delivery of the bargained for payment of the purchase price to Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein;
(c) the Parties agree and acknowledge that there is no stated or unstated interest factor in this Agreement, and no interest will be paid;
(d) in the event that a court ignores the intent of the parties that the Transaction Documents be treated as a forward purchase of Receipts, and further determines that the arrangement creates a loan or other indebtedness rather than a completed forward sale of Receipts, and further determines that under that court-determined arrangement that the PURCHASER has charged or received “interest,” and further determines that the amount of interest is in excess of the highest applicable rate, the imputed rate so determined shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and Purchaser shall promptly refund to Seller as liquidated damages any amount received by Purchaser in excess of such maximum lawful rate, it being intended that Seller not pay or contract to pay, and that Seller not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest on indebtedness in excess of that which may be paid by Seller under applicable law.
1.2 Term of Agreement. The Purchase Agreement shall have an indefinite term. The Purchase Agreement shall commence with Purchaser’s delivery of the funds constituting the Purchase Price and shall run until such time as Purchaser receives sufficient receipts to equal the value of the Purchased Amount and thus fulfill the delivery of the future receivable purchased and all of Seller’s other obligations to Purchaser are fully satisfied. The Purchase Agreement and the provisions of this Section 1.2 are applicable to any renewals and additional agreements executed by the parties that constitute Forward Purchase Agreements and/or purchase of future receivables.
1.3 Authorization to Debit. Seller shall establish an account with a financial institution acceptable to Purchaser that will be designated to collect the Receipts
generated by Seller. Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser and/or its agents to obtain any amounts due pursuant to the Transaction Documents by ACH debit of the account designated, or of any other Seller account, as provided pursuant to the Transaction Documents. This authorization shall be irrevocable without the written consent of Purchaser. Seller shall provide Purchaser and/or its agents with all of the information and authorizations necessary for verifying Sellers’s receivables, Receipts and deposits.
1.3 Financial Condition. Seller and Guarantor(s) authorize Purchaser to investigate their financial responsibility and history, and will provide to Purchaser any bank or financial statements, tax returns, or any other documentation, as Purchaser deems necessary prior to or at any time after execution of the Transaction Documents. A photocopy of this authorization will be deemed as acceptable for release of any necessary information. Seller and Guarantor(s) authorize and consent to Purchaser updating their credit and financial profile from time to time in the future, as Purchase deems appropriate, including by obtaining investigative, consumer, and personal or business credit reports. This provision shall survive, in its entirety, the delivery of the Receipts purchased and the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
5 |
1.4. Financial Information and Credit Reporting. Seller and Guarantor authorize Purchaser to obtain business and personal credit bureau and consumer reports at any time and from time to time for purposes of deciding whether to purchase Receipts from Seller, for any requested loan or for any update, renewal, extension of credit or other lawful purpose. Upon Seller’s or Guarantor’s request, Purchaser will advise Seller or Guarantor if Purchaser obtained a credit report and Purchaser will give Seller or Guarantor the credit bureau’s name and address. Seller and Guarantor agree to submit current financial information, update any credit application, or both, at any time promptly upon Purchaser’s request. Purchaser may report Purchaser’s experiences with Seller and Guarantor to third parties as permitted by law. Seller and Guarantor also agree that Purchaser may release information to comply with governmental reporting or legal process that Purchaser believes may be required, whether or not such is in fact required, or when necessary or helpful in completing a transaction, or when investigating a loss or potential loss, and/or seeking recovery for such loss. This provision shall survive, in its entirety, the delivery of the Receipts purchased and the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
1.5 Transactional History. Seller and Guarantor authorize Purchaser to act as Seller’s and Guarantor’s agent, respectively, for purposes of accessing and retrieving transaction history information regarding Seller and/or Guarantor from Seller’s and Guarantor’s financial institutions, banks, banking accounts, and/or credit card processing accounts. Seller and Guarantor authorize their respective financial institutions to provide Purchaser with Seller’s and Guarantor’s transaction history, and any and all information regarding Seller’s and Guarantor’s accounts, balances, or transfers, for any purpose, including for purposes of collection. This provision shall survive, in its entirety, the delivery of the Receipts purchased and the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

In no event will Purchaser, its officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, affiliates, agents or representatives be liable for any claims asserted by Seller under any legal theory for lost profits, lost revenues, lost business opportunities, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, each of which is waived by Seller and Guarantor(s).

4.2 Purchaser acting as Agent. Purchaser has entered into the Transaction Documents as agent (in such capacity, “Agent”) for itself and one or more third parties as “co-investors” or “co-purchasers” (each a “Principal”). Agent and each Principal have elected to treat the transaction consummated under the Transaction Documents(the “Transaction”) as a single transaction on behalf of separate Principals, and Agent hereby certifies that the portion of the Transaction allocable to the account of each of the Principals (the “Portion”) for which it is acting (to the extent that any such Transaction is allocable to the account of more than one Principal) is set forth in one or more addenda to the Transaction Documents, which may be provided to Seller upon request.
All references to “Purchaser” “Seller” or “Guarantor,” as the case may be, in the Transaction Documents shall be subject to the provisions of this section and shall be construed to reflect that (i) each Principal shall have, in connection with the Transaction entered into by the Agent on its behalf, all of the rights, responsibilities, privileges and obligations of a “Purchaser” directly entering into such Transaction with the other parties under each of the Transaction Documents and (ii) Agent’s Principals have designated Agent (acting directly or through the Authorized Subservicing Agent) as their sole agents for performance of Purchaser’s obligations to Seller and for receipt of performance by Seller of its obligations to Purchaser in connection with the Transaction (including, among other things, as Agent for each Principal in connection with transfers of cash or other property and as agent for giving and receiving all notices under the Transaction Documents). Both Agent and its Principals shall be deemed “parties” to the Transaction Documents and all references to a “party” or “either party” in any Transaction Document shall be deemed revised accordingly.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any assignment, pledge and/or grant to Purchaser by the Seller or a Performance Guarantor of a security interest in and to any property and assets (including the Collateral and the Additional Collateral) pursuant to any of the applicable Transaction Documents to secure the payment and/or performance of any of their respective and/or joint obligations, shall be deemed to have been made to the Purchaser for and on behalf of itself and any other Principal. Purchaser hereby agrees to hold all Collateral and Additional Collateral hereafter delivered to it pursuant to the Transaction Documents, for itself and for the benefit of the Principals, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents. In its capacity, the Agent and Sub-Servicing Agent are each a “representative” of each of the Principals within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. In addition to the representations and warranties set forth in the Transaction Documents, Agent hereby makes the following representations and warranties, which shall continue during the term of any Transaction: Principal has duly authorized Agent to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents on its behalf, has the power to so authorize Agent and to enter into the Transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents and to perform the obligations of Purchaser, and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution and delivery by Agent and such performance by it. This provision shall survive, in its entirety, the delivery of the Receipts purchased and the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
4.3 Sub-Servicing Agent. Purchaser may contract with one or more general agents to service the Transaction Documents (the “Sub-Servicing Agent”) that will provide customer service, treasury, administrative, bookkeeping, reporting, collections, and support services, but not limited to, background checks, credit checks, general underwriting review, filing UCC-1 security interests and any other UCC documentation, for the Purchaser. Seller and Guarantor(s) acknowledge and agree that Xxxxxxxxx has granted Sub-Servicing Agent all rights and authority as its general agent to take any and all actions to enforce the Purchase Agreement, through legal actions in the name of the Purchaser or otherwise, and to assert and/or defend against any and all claims arising from or relating to the Purchase Agreement. Any and all authorizations and rights granted to Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are hereby granted to Sub-Servicing Agent, as servicer and general agent of Purchaser. In no event will the Sub-Servicing Agent be liable for any claims made against the Purchaser or under any legal theory for lost profits, lost revenues, lost business opportunity, exemplary, punitive, actual, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, each of which is waived by the Seller and Guarantor(s). This provision shall survive, in its entirety, the delivery of the Receipts purchased and the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
4.4 Notices. All notices, requests, consent, demands and other communications under the Transaction Documents and any addendum shall be delivered by ordinary mail to the respective parties at the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement and shall become effective upon delivery. The Parties hereto may also send such notices, requests, consent, demands and other communications via facsimile or electronic mail at such numbers and email addresses communicated by the parties hereto in writing or as reflected in the records of the Sub-Servicing Agent.

D/B/A KAPITUS AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO KAPITUS LLC AND KAPITUS SERVICING, INC. (COLLECTIVELY, “KAPITUS”), ON ONE HAND, AND PHARMACOLOGY UNIVERSITY FW, LLC/ XXXXX XXXXXXXX/ XXXXX XXXXXX, D/B/A PHARMACOLOGY UNIVERSITY AND XXXXX XXXXXXXX, (COLLECTIVELY, “YOU” OR “MERCHANT”) (EACH A “PARTY” AND TOGETHER WITH XXXXXXX, “THE PARTIES”) MAY BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION.
ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, HAVE A JURY TRIAL OR INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. IN ARBITRATION, DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN IN COURT. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (“FAA”), AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN THE BROADEST WAY THAT LAW WILL ALLOW.
I. | Covered Claims. |
a. | You or Kapitus may arbitrate any claim, dispute or controversy between the Parties arising out of and/or related to: (i) this Agreement; (ii) any other agreement between the Parties; and/or (iii) the relationship between the Parties, whether or not related to a contract between them (“Claims”). |
b. | If arbitration is chosen by any Party in accordance with Section III below, no Party will have the right to litigate the Claims in court or to have a jury trial on the Claims. |
c. | Except as stated below, all Claims are subject to arbitration, no matter what legal theory they are based on or what remedy (damages, or injunctive or declaratory relief) they seek, including Claims based on contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, Merchant’s or Kapitus’s negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions, or any other sources of law; Claims made as counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, interpleaders or otherwise; Claims made regarding past, present, or future conduct; and Claims made independently or with other claims. This also includes Claims made by or against anyone connected with Kapitus or Merchant or claiming through Kapitus or Merchant, or by someone making a claim through Kapitus or Merchant, such as a co-applicant, authorized user, employee, agent, representative or an affiliated/parent/subsidiary company. Threshold issues of whether any claim is arbitrable also are subject to arbitration in accordance with this Agreement. |
II. | Arbitration Limits. |
a. | Claims brought as part of a class action, private attorney general or other representative action can be arbitrated only on an individual basis. The arbitrator has no authority to arbitrate any claim on a class or representative basis and may award relief only on an individual basis. If arbitration is chosen by any Party, neither Xxxxxxxx nor Xxxxxxx may pursue a Claim as part of a class action or other representative action. |
b. | Claims of two or more persons may not be combined in the same arbitration. However, applicants, co-applicants, authorized users on a single account and/or related accounts, or corporate affiliates or entities under common ownership or control of a Party are deemed one person for purposes of this Agreement. |

III. | How Arbitration Works. |
a. | Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) according to this arbitration provision and the applicable AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect when the claim is filed (“AAA Rules”), except where those rules conflict with this arbitration provision. Merchant can obtain copies of the AAA Rules at the AAA’s website (xxx.xxx.xxx). Merchant or Xxxxxxx may choose to have a hearing, appear at any hearing by phone or other electronic means, and/or be represented by counsel. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary, any in-person hearing will be held in Arlington, Virginia. The arbitration shall be conducted and the award shall be rendered in English. |
b. | Arbitration may be requested any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit, unless discovery has fully and finally concluded, and/or a final judgment entered. Neither Merchant nor Xxxxxxx waives the right to arbitrate by filing or serving a complaint, answer, counterclaim, or motion in a lawsuit. To choose arbitration, a Party must file a motion to compel arbitration in a pending matter or commence arbitration by submitting the required AAA forms and requisite filing fees to the AAA. |
c. | The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator agreed to by the Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of the request for arbitration (unless an extended time period is agreed to by the Parties). In the event the Parties are unable to agree upon the selection of the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with this arbitration provision and the AAA Rules for appointing an arbitrator from the AAA National Roster. The selected arbitrator may limit discovery. The arbitrator shall not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure for discovery, but the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law and shall take reasonable steps to protect account information and other confidential information of any Party if requested to do so. Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the jurisdiction specified in any contract between the parties. If no jurisdiction is specified or if multiple jurisdictions are specified in various contracts among the Parties, the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall apply, without regard to any applicable principals of conflicts of law. |
d. | The arbitrator shall make any award in writing and, if requested by Xxxxxxxx or Kapitus, shall include a reasoned opinion for the award. An arbitration award shall decide the rights and obligations only of the parties named in the arbitration, and shall not have any bearing on any other person or dispute. |
e. | The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages, consequential damages, or other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages, except as required by statute or allowed under any agreement between the Parties. |
IV. | Paying for Arbitration Fees. |
a. | Arbitration fees will be allocated according to the applicable AAA Rules. All parties are responsible for their own attorney’s fees, expert fees and any other expenses unless the arbitrator awards such fees or expenses to Kapitus based on a contract between the parties or applicable law. |
b. | The Parties agree that failure or refusal of a Party to pay its required share of the deposits for arbitrator compensation or administrative charges shall constitute a waiver by that Party to present evidence or cross-examine witnesses. In such event, the other Party shall be required to present evidence and legal argument as the arbitrator(s) may require for the making of an award. Such waiver shall not allow for a default judgment against the non-paying Party in the absence of evidence presented as provided for above. |
21 |
V. | The Final Award. |
a. | Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and binding on the Parties, and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction, and any court where a Party or its assets is located (to which jurisdiction the Parties consent for the purposes of enforcing such award) unless a Party appeals such award in writing to the AAA within 30 days of notice of the award pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules. The arbitration appeal shall be determined by a panel of 3 arbitrators. The panel will consider all facts and legal issues anew based on the same evidence presented in the prior arbitration and will make decisions based on a majority vote. Arbitration fees for the arbitration appeal shall be allocated according to the applicable AAA Rules. An award by a panel on appeal is final. A final award is subject to judicial review as provided by applicable law. |
VI. | Miscellaneous. |
a. | Survival. This Agreement shall survive: (i) termination of the account or the relationship between Merchant and Kapitus; (ii) repayment of any amounts owed by Xxxxxxxx to Kapitus; (iii) the termination of any other agreement between Xxxxxxxx and Kapitus; (iv), the filing of any petition or institution of any proceeding by or against any Party under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Reform Act, Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other similar law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, or general affecting creditor’s rights or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, administrator or liquidator of or for any Party’s assets; (v) any sale, transfer and/or assignment of Xxxxxxxx’s account with Xxxxxxx, or amounts owed on Merchant’s account, to another person or entity; (vi) the closure, suspension, dissolution or termination of Merchant’s business; and (vi) the sale, transfer, and/or assignment of Merchant’s business, any interest therein that constitutes a change of control in such business, and/or substantially all of Merchant’s assets. |
