This Repurchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of May 18, 2016 among Twin Vee Powercats, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TVP”), Twin Vee Catamarans, Inc, a Florida corporation (“TVC” and together with TVP, individually and collectively, the “Company”) and Northpoint Commercial Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Northpoint Commercial Finance”).
The Company sells various goods (“Goods”) to retail dealers or wholesale distributors (in either case “Dealers”) who frequently desire to finance or refinance such purchases.
Northpoint Commercial Finance and its affiliates (individually and collectively, “Northpoint”) are in the business of financing and refinancing inventory. As used in this Repurchase Agreement, affiliates of Northpoint Commercial Finance include any party that, directly or indirectly, (i) controls Northpoint Commercial Finance, (ii) is controlled by Northpoint Commercial Finance, or (iii) is under common control with Northpoint Commercial Finance.
In consideration of Northpoint financing the acquisition of Goods by a Dealer and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Northpoint Commercial Finance agree as follows:
1. Invoice Representations and Warranties. When a Dealer orders Goods from the Company and requests that Northpoint finance the acquisition of such Goods, the Company shall deliver to Northpoint an invoice identifying such Goods (the “Invoice”) and the cost thereof to the purchasing Dealer including any freight charges (the “Invoice Cost”). By delivery of such Invoice to Northpoint, the Company shall represent and warrant to Northpoint that:
(a) | The Company has good title to such Goods and will, upon payment by Northpoint of the Net Invoice Cost (as hereinafter defined) therefor, transfer title to such Goods to such Dealer free and clear of liens, claims, and encumbrances; | |
(b) | Such Goods are current models, are in unused condition and are free of defects; | |
(c) | The Invoice Cost of such Goods does not exceed the standard wholesale price of such Goods and is not intended to misrepresent the true cost of such Goods to such Dealer; | |
(d) | Such Goods were ordered by such Dealer from the Company (the “Order”) the Order was accepted by the Company and such Dealer requested that Northpoint finance its acquisition of such Goods as evidenced by the issuance of an approval number by Northpoint that has not been prior revoked and is no more than thirty (30) days old; | |
(e) | Such Goods conform in all respects to the Order and were not shipped to such Dealer prior to Northpoint’s approval of such Invoice for payment; | |
(f) | The Goods will be promptly shipped to such Dealer, | |
(g) | The Invoice complies with all applicable federal, state and local laws; and | |
(h) | The sale of the Goods pursuant to the Order is a bona fide new sale of the Goods, and the Goods have not been previously sold or financed by another lender. |
For each and every Invoice that the Company breaches any of these representations or warranties, the Company shall upon written demand by Northpoint reimburse to Northpoint the Invoice Cost of such Invoice within fourteen (14) days. Any such demand for payment by Northpoint is not a repurchase request under Section 3 of this Agreement, thus Northpoint does not need to have possession of any Goods to make such a demand for payment, the time limitation on the Company’s obligation to repurchase in Section 3 of this Agreement shall not apply to such a demand for payment, and Section 3 of this Agreement shall not otherwise apply to such a demand for payment.
2. Northpoint Payment Obligations. Northpoint shall not be bound to finance any particular Goods. Northpoint shall be obligated to pay the Invoice Cost, less any discount applicable to Northpoint from time to time (the “Net Invoice Cost”), only for Invoices for which Northpoint has issued an approval number that has not been prior revoked and is not more than thirty (30) days old. Northpoint will pay the Net Invoice Cost within ten (10) business days of Northpoint’s receipt of the Invoice.

3. Repurchase Obligations. Should Northpoint at any lime repossess or otherwise come into possession of any Goods financed by Northpoint for any Dealer ), on or before seven hundred thirty (730) days following the date of the Invoice for such Goods (the “Repurchase Period”), the Company shall repurchase such Goods from Northpoint upon the following terms and conditions;
(a) | The Company shall repurchase such Goods from Northpoint within fourteen (14) days upon receipt of notice from Northpoint that such Goods are in Northpoint’s possession (the “Repurchase Notice”), wherever located and in whatever condition, without any express or implied warranties including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Northpoint shall have no obligation to deliver any item of Goods to any particular location in order to demand the Repurchase Price. | |
(b) | The repurchase price for such Goods (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be equal to: (i) the Invoice Cost for such Goods minus the Credit for such Goods, plus (ii) the accrued interest, fees, and charges owing to Northpoint by the applicable Dealer with respect to such Goods, plus (iii) all reasonable expenses incurred by Northpoint in connection with the repossession and/or storage of such Goods (including legal fees), minus (iv) amounts incurred by the Company, if any, to restore such Goods to the reasonable equivalent of unused condition (excluding normal wear and tear incident to display or demonstration). | |
(c) | The “Credit” means for any item of Goods an amount determined by the length of time from the date of the Invoice for such item of Goods to the date of the Repurchase Notice. The Credit shall be computed as follows: |
0 days through 450 days 0% of amount of the Invoice Cost for such item of Goods 451 days through 540 days - 5% of amount of the Invoice Cost for such item of Goods 541 days through 730 days - 10% of amount of the Invoice Cost for such item of Goods
(d) | The Repurchase Price shall be determined as of the date that the Company pays to Northpoint the Repurchase Price in full. | |

The Credit shall also be automatically adjusted by suspending the time period used to determine the amount of the Credit in the same manner as the suspension of the Repurchase Period. |
4. Failure to Pay. If either party fails to make a payment due under this Agreement within fifteen (15) days from the due date, then the other party shall be entitled to interest on such payment from the due date at LIBOR (as such rate may change from time to time) plus ten percent (10.0%) calculated on the outstanding average daily balance. “LIBOR” means a variable rate adjusted monthly that for any calendar month is equal to the highest interest rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) published on the website lutp://xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx0/xxxxxx/XXX0X’TD156N# during such calendar month as the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate for United States dollar deposits (or, if such page shall cease to be publicly available or, if the information/description contained on such page, in Northpoint’s reasonable judgment, shall cease to accurately reflect such London Interbank Offered Rate, then such rate as reported by any publicly available recognized source of similar market data selected by Northpoint that, in Northpoint’s reasonable judgment, accurately reflects such London Interbank Offered Rate). Interest shall be calculated based upon a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed in such calendar month.
