owner, in accordance with the procedure detailed herein, all of Seller's right,
title and interest in and to Seller's Accounts; provided at no time shall the
maximum aggregate amount paid by FGI for Accounts purchased from Seller
outstanding on FGl's books exceed the Facility Amount.

shall be submitted to FGI on a Schedule of Accounts listing each Account
separately. The Schedule of Accounts shall be in the form attached hereto as

Seller shall also deliver to FGI one copy of a sales contract, purchase order,
and invoice for each Account together with evidence of shipment, furnishing
and/or delivery of the Goods or rendition of service(s).
5
(c) Any and
all Purchased Accounts shall be purchased on either a Credit Approved or with
Full
Recourse basis, as determined by FGI in its sole and absolute discretion. In the
absence of written Credit Approval, the Purchased Accounts shall be purchased at
Full Recourse. If Goods are shipped or services are provided based on a verbal
approval, it is Seller's responsibility to ensure that such approval is received
in writing in a timely manner. Credit Approval(s) may be withdrawn, either
orally or in writing, in FGI's sole and absolute discretion at any time if, in
FGI's opinion, an Account Debtor's credit standing or ability to perform with
respect to the applicable Account becomes impaired before actual delivery of
Goods or rendering of services. Credit Approval(s) shall be limited to the
specific terms and amounts indicated, and, notwithstanding any information
subsequently provided to Seller by FGI, such Credit Approval(s) are
automatically rescinded and withdrawn if the terms of sale vary from the terms
approved by FGI, or if the terms of sale are changed by Seller without FGI's
written Credit Approval on the new terms, or if the Purchased Account is not
assigned to FGI within ten (10) days from the date of the invoice, or if the
amount of outstanding Accounts of an Account Debtor exceed the maximum Credit
Approval amount for the Account Debtor as determined by FGI from time to time.
Seller further acknowledges that if Seller ships Goods or provides services to
an Account Debtor who has outstanding Accounts from Seller, and such Account
Debtor's credit line and/or outstanding Credit Approval(s) have been withdrawn
by FGI, and the Accounts created thereby, whether or not they are sold and
assigned to FGI, exceed 10% of the amount Accounts purchased from Seller
outstanding on FGI's books, that any Credit Approvals applying to those
Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI's books are automatically deemed cancelled
and all outstanding Purchased Accounts from that Account Debtor are with Full
Recourse.
(d) With
regard to sales without Credit Approval or deemed without Credit Approval,
Seller agrees that any payments or credits applying to any Account owing by such
Account Debtor will be applied: first, to any
Credit-Approved Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI's books, if any; second, to any Full
Recourse Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI's books; and, third, to any
Accounts outstanding on Seller's books. This order of payment applies regardless
of the respective dates the sales occurred and regardless of any notations on
payment items.
(e) If FGI
fails to collect a Purchased Account within ninety (90) days of its maturity
for
which
Credit Approval has been given, FGI shall pay to Seller the Net Invoice Amount
of such Purchased Account within a reasonable time period, subject to the terms
and provisions stated herein. At the sole discretion of FGI, Seller may have the
option to repurchase any such Purchased Account for which Credit Approval has
been granted. Any Purchased Account for progress payments, work-in-process,
freight, samples or miscellaneous sales (including, without limitation, the sale
of Goods and/or in quantities not regularly sold by Seller) is always assigned
to FGI at Full Recourse, notwithstanding any written Credit Approval from
FGI.
(f) FGI shall
have no liability of any kind for declining or refusing to give, or
for
withdrawing,
revoking, or modifying, any Credit Approval pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, or for exercising or failing to exercise any rights or remedies FGI
may have under this Agreement or otherwise. In the event FGI declines to give
Credit Approval on any order received by Seller from an Account Debtor and in
advising Seller of such decline FGI furnishes Seller with information as to the
credit standing of the Account Debtor, such inforn1ation shall be deemed to have
been requested of FGI by Seller and FGI's advice containing such information is
recognized as a privileged communication. Seller agrees that such information
shall not be given to Seller's customers or to Seller's sales representative(s).
If necessary, Seller shall merely advise its customer(s) that credit has been
declined on the Account and that any questions should be directed to FGI. Each
Full Recourse Account(s) assigned to and purchased by FGI is with full recourse
to Seller and at Seller's sole credit risk. FGI shall have the right to charge
back to Seller's Reserve Account the amount of such Full Recourse Accounts at
any time and from time to time either before or after their maturity. Seller
agrees to pay FGI upon demand the full amount thereof, together with all
expenses incurred by FGI up to the date of such payment, including reasonable
attorney's fees in attempting to collect or enforce such payment or payment of
such Account(s). FGI's Credit Approval shall only begin after the first 15% of
all Purchased Accounts relating to each Account Debtor. For purposes of
determining FGI's Credit Approval hereunder, the Purchased Account(s) balance
due FGI
6
from any
given Account Debtor shall be calculated as the aggregate amount owed by that
Account Debtor less any credits to which such Account Debtor may be entitled,
and is not to be construed to mean individual invoices owed by that Account
Debtor.
Section
3. Purchase
Price and Fees.
(a) The
purchase price that FGI shall pay to Seller for each Purchased Account shall
equal
the Net
Invoice Amount thereof less FGI's fees, as specified below. No discount, credit,
allowance or deduction with respect to any Purchased Account, unless shown on
the face of an invoice, shall be granted or approved by Seller to any Account
Debtor without FGI's prior written consent.
(b) The
purchase price (as computed above), less (i) any Required Reserve Amount or
credit
balance
that FGI, in FGI's sole and absolute discretion, determines to hold, (ii) moneys
remitted, paid, or otherwise advanced by FGI to or on behalf of Seller
(including any amounts which FGI reasonably determines that Seller may be
obligated to pay in the future), and (iii) any other charges provided for by
this Agreement, shall be payable by FGI to Seller on the Date of
Collection.
(c) FGI shall
be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion, to withhold the Required
Reserve Amount, and may increase or decrease the Required Reserve Amount or
Reserve Percentage at any time and from time to time if FGI deems it necessary
to do so in order to protect FGI's interests. In no event shall Seller permit a
Reserve Shortfall to occur. FGI may charge against the Reserve Account any
amount for which Seller may be obligated to FGI at any time, whether under the
terms of this Agreement, or otherwise, including but not limited to the
repayment of any over advance, any damages suffered by FGI as a result of
Seller's breach of any provision of Section 4 hereof (whether intentional or
unintentional), any adjustments due and any attorneys' fees, costs and
disbursements due. Seller recognizes that the Reserve Account may, in FGI's sole
discretion, represent bookkeeping entries only and not cash funds. It is further
agreed that with respect to the balance in the Reserve Account, FGI is
authorized to withhold, without giving prior notice to Seller, such payments and
credits otherwise due to Seller under the terms of this Agreement for reasonably
anticipated claims or to adequately satisfy reasonably anticipated obligation(s)
Seller may owe FG!. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or, in the event
Seller shall cease selling Accounts to FGI, FGI shall be under no obligation to
pay the amount maintained in the Reserve Account until all Accounts listed on
all Schedules of Accounts have been collected or FGI has determined, in its sole
and absolute discretion, that it will make no further efforts to collect any
Accounts and all sums due FGI hereunder have been paid.
(d) In FGI's
sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
FGI may from time to time advance to Seller against the purchase price of
Purchased Accounts purchased by FGI hereunder, sums up to 80% of the aggregate
purchase price of Purchased Accounts outstanding at the time any such advance is
made, less: (i) any such Purchased Accounts that are in dispute; (ii) any such
Purchased Accounts that are not credit approved; (iii); any such Purchased
Accounts aged nintey (90) days or more past invoice date; and (iv) any fees,
actual or estimated, that are chargeable to the Reserve Account. Any advance
shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in
subsection ( e) below from the date such advance is made until the date FGI
would otherwise be obligated hereunder to pay the purchase price of the
Purchased Account(s) against which such advance was made.
(e) Interest
upon the daily total outstanding balance of any Purchased Account shall be
charged to Seller's Reserve Account at a rate greater of 7.00% per annum or
3.00% above the rate of interest designated by FGI as its selected "Prime Rate"
or "Base Rate', as the case may be (which as of the date hereof is based upon
the Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section which is subject to change) on the
net daily balance of all outstanding Purchased Accounts. In the event that the
Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a Prime Rate, then the Prime Rate shall be
the average of the three largest U.S. money center commercial banks, as
determined by FG!. All such interest shall be computed for the actual number of
days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360)
days. Any adjustment in FGI's interest rate, whether downward or upward will
become effective on the day in which the prime rate of interest is decreased or
increased. If during any month, a net credit balance (i.e., the reserve or
credit balance exceeds outstanding Accounts), then Seller agrees to credit FGI's
reserve account as of the last day of each month with interest at a rate equal
to 3.00% above the Prime Rate,
7
(f) Seller
shall unconditionally pay and FGI shall be entitled to receive a one time
non-refundable facility fee in an amount equal $40,000 payable in immediately
available funds upon signing of the Agreement.
(g) Seller
shall unconditionally pay and FGI shall be entitled to receive a non-refundable
monthly collateral management fee equal to 0.87% of the average monthly balance
of Purchased Accounts; with such fee charged monthly to Seller's Reserve Account
or if funds are not available therein, payable by Seller on demand.
(h) The
minimum monthly net funds employed during each contract year hereof shall be
$1,500,00; any deficiency will be subject to a Deficiency
Assessment.
(i) IT IS THE
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT AS TO ALL PURCHASED ACCOUNTS, THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL CONSTITUTE A TRUE PURCHASE AND SALE OF
ACCOUNT(S) UNDER § 9-318 OF THE UCC AND AS SUCH, THE SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LEGAL
OR EQUITABLE INTEREST IN THE ACCOUNTS SOLD. NEVERTHELESS, IN THE EVENT ALL OR
ANY PORTION OF THIS TRANSACTION IS CHARACTERIZED AS A LOAN, THE PARTIES HERETO
INTEND TO CONTRACT IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE USURY LAW FROM TIME TO
TIME IN EFFECT. IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF SUCH PARTIES STIPULATE AND AGREE THAT
NONE OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EVER BE
CONSTRUED TO CREATE A CONTRACT TO PAY, FOR THE USE, FORBEARANCE OR DETENTION OF
MONEY, INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM RATE (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) FROM TIME
TO TIME IN EFFECT. NEITHER SELLER, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER
PERSON HEREAFTER BECOMING LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE ADVANCES, SHALL EVER BE
LIABLE FOR ANY OBLIGATION THAT MAY BE CHARACTERIZED AS UNEARNED INTEREST HEREON
OR SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY OBLIGATION THAT MA Y BE CHARACTERIZED AS
INTEREST THEREON IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE LAWFULLY CHARGED
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT, AND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION SHALL CONTROL OVER ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH MAY BE
IN CONFLICT THEREWITH. IF ANY INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATION OWED BY SELLER
HEREUNDER IS DETERMINED TO BE IN EXCESS OF THE LEGAL MAXIMUM, OR FGI SHALL
OTHERWISE COLLECT MONEYS WHICH ARE DETERMINED TO CONSTITUTE INTEREST WHICH WOULD
OTHERWISE INCREASE THE INTEREST ON ALL OR ANY PART OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS TO AN
AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THAT PERMITTED TO BE CHARGED BY APPLICABLE LAW THEN IN
EFFECT, THEN ALL SUCH SUMS DETERMINED TO CONSTITUTE INTEREST IN EXCESS OF SUCH
LEGAL LIMIT SHALL, WITHOUT PENALTY, BE PROMPTLY APPLIED TO REDUCE THE THEN
OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OR, AT FGI'S OPTION, RETURNED TO SELLER OR THE OTHER
PAYOR THEREOF UPON SUCH DETERMINATION. IF AT ANY TIME THE RATE AT WHICH INTEREST
IS PAYABLE HEREUNDER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM RATE, THE AMOUNT OUTSTANDING HEREIJNDER
SHALL CEASE BEARING INTEREST UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF INTEREST
ACCRUED HEREUNDER EQUALS (BUT DOES NOT EXCEED) THE MAXIMUM RATE APPLICABLE
HERETO. AS USED IN THIS SECTION, THE TERM "APPLICABLE LAW" MEANS THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK OR, IF DIFFERENT, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR TERRITORY IN WHICH
THE SELLER RESIDES, WHICHEVER LAW ALLOWS THE GREATER RATE OF INTEREST, AS SUCH
LAWS NOW EXIST OR MAY BE CHANGED OR AMENDED OR COME INTO EFFECT IN THE FUTURE
AND THE TERM "MAXIMUM RATE" MEANS THE MAXIMUM NON USURIOUS RATE OF INTEREST THAT
FGI IS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO CONTRACT FOR, TAKE, CHARGE OR RECEIVE
WITH RESPECT TO THE ADVANCES.
8
(j) Upon
FGI's acceptance of each Purchased Account, FGI shall be the sole owner and
holder of such Purchased Account. Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and
assigns to FGI all of its right, title and interest in and to each Purchased
Account effective at the time of acceptance thereof by FGI. Seller agrees to
execute and deliver to each Account Debtor obligated under an Account and/or a
Purchased Account such written notice of sale of the Purchased Account as FGI
may request in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 or in such
form as required by FGI.
(k) FGI shall
provide Seller online access via a secured website to information on the
Purchased Accounts and a reconciliation of the relationship relating to billing,
collection and account maintenance such as aging, posting, error resolution and
mailing of statements in the ordinary course of FGI's business. All of the
foregoing shall be in a format and in such detail, as FGI, in its sole and
absolute discretion, deems appropriate. Furthermore, FGI's books and records
shall be admissible in evidence without objection as prima facie evidence of the
status of the Purchased and non-purchased Accounts and Reserve Account between
FGI and Seller. Each statement, report, or accounting rendered or issued by FGI
to Seller, if any, and all online information shall be deemed conclusively
accurate and binding on Seller unless within fifteen (15) days after the date of
issuance or posting Seller notifies FGI to the contrary by registered or
certified mail, setting forth with specificity the reasons why Seller believes
such statement, report, or accounting is inaccurate, as well as what Seller
believes to be correct amount(s) therefore. FGI's failure to provide or Seller's
failure to receive such online access shall not relieve Seller of Seller's
obligations under this Agreement or the responsibility of Seller to request such
statement and Seller's failure to do so shall nonetheless bind Seller to
whatever FGl's records would have reported.
Section
4. Seller's Representations and
Covenants. Seller, as well as each of Seller's principals, represent,
warrant and covenant, jointly and severally, to FGI that:
(a) Seller is
either a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other
form of registered Person, is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and is qualified and authorized
to do business and is in good standing in all states in which such qualification
and good standing are necessary or desirable.
(b) The
execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement does not and
will not constitute a violation of any applicable law, violation of Seller's
articles of incorporation, articles of organization, bylaws, operating
agreement, partnership agreement or other organizational documents and does not
and will not constitute any material breach of any other document, agreement or
instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound.
(c) Seller
has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement,
and has taken all proper and necessary action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and other documents, instruments and

binding obligation of Seller enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms.
(d) Immediately
prior to the execution and at the time of delivery of each Schedule of Account,

interest in any of its Accounts to anyone other than FGI. There are no financing
statements now on file in any public office covering any Collateral of Seller of
any kind, real or personal, in which Seller is named in or has signed as the
debtor, except the financing statement or statements filed or to be filed in
respect of this Agreement or those statements now on file specifically listed on

filing of any financing statement in favor of any other Person, except FGI,

performance of service by Seller to or for an Account Debtor. The terms for
payment of Purchased Accounts are no greater than sixty (60) days from date of
invoice and the payment of such Purchased Accounts is not contingent upon the
fulfillment by Seller of any further performance of any nature whatsoever. Each
Account Debtor's business is solvent to the best of Seller's
knowledge.
(g) There are
and shall be no set-offs, allowances, discounts, deductions, counterclaims, or
disputes with respect to any Purchased Account, either at the time it is
accepted by FGI for FGI or prior to the date it is to be paid. Seller shall

which is subject to a Dispute. Seller shall accept no returns and shall grant no
allowance or credit to any Account Debtor without the prior written consent of
FG!. On the first business day of each calendar week, Seller shall provide to
FGI for each Account Debtor who is indebted on a Purchased Account that has been
purchased, a weekly report in a form and substance satisfactory to FGT itemizing
