THIS PURCHASE ORDER PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this 11th day of January, 2007 by and between Crossroads Financial, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, with its place of business located at 0000 XX Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (“Crossroads") and Gamma Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its place of business located at 2225 Angel Fire, Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000(“Client”)
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Client is engaged primarily in the purchase and sale of nutritional supplements that it sells to customers on a credit basis; and
WHEREAS, Client desires to obtain funds for operation of its business through the sale of Purchase Orders acceptable to Crossroads; and
WHEREAS, Crossroads is willing to purchase Accepted Purchase Orders, as that term is defined hereinafter, from Client according to the terms set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and conditions set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale of Purchase Orders; Maximum Facility Amount. Client shall from time to time, at Client’s option, sell, transfer and assign all of its right, title and interest in and to Accepted Purchase Orders to Crossroads, together with all inventory described therein and monies due or which may become due upon such Accepted Purchase Orders (as defined below). Accepted Purchase Orders shall be identified by separate and subsequent written assignments on a form to be provided to Client by Crossroads, however, in the absence of such separate written assignment, this Agreement shall be deemed to evidence the assignment of such Accepted Purchase Orders sold.
The initial maximum facility amount shall be up to Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00) (“Maximum Facility Amount”). In this regard, Crossroads shall not be obligated to advance, employ and/or fund more than the Maximum Facility Amount at any given time during the term of this Agreement in connection with any Accepted Purchase Orders.
2. Approval. Client shall submit Accepted Purchase Orders to Crossroads for approval, which approval may be denied by Crossroads in its sole discretion, with or without cause.
3. Purchase Price. Crossroads agrees to purchase Accepted Purchase Orders from Client at a price not in excess of the cost of inventory (the “Purchase Price”) whereby in such event Crossroads will provide the purchase money for such inventory. The acceptance and the providing of the Purchase Price by Crossroads will result in the creation of Accepted Purchase Orders. In connection with Crossroads’ approval process for all orders from domestic suppliers which require that Crossroads make a cash payment to the supplier prior to shipment of the goods which are the subject of the Purchase Order, Client shall provide to Crossroads a letter agreement from each supplier of the goods which will include an unconditional irrevocable agreement by the supplier to ship the goods in accordance with the instructions of Crossroads, including, a date before which the goods must be shipped, and an agreement from the supplier that they will ship the goods which are the subject of the Purchase Order regardless of who the end user is, and without any setoffs, counterclaims, or any other claims against Client. In connection with
international suppliers or domestic suppliers who require letters of credit, the letters of credit will contain such terms as Crossroads may require from time to time.
4. Account Receivable Factoring Relationship; Fees and Collection; Facility Fee. Client has entered into an accounts receivable purchase agreement with Marquette Commercial Finance, Inc. (the “Factor”) dated on or before the date hereof (the “Factor Agreement”). While Crossroads continues to have transaction exposure relating to Accepted Purchase Orders funded by Crossroads, all of Client’s accounts receivable owing from the account debtors under Accepted Purchase Orders funded by Crossroads shall be factored by the Client under the Factor Agreement, and all accounts receivable and Invoices shall meet all of the requirements imposed under the Factor Agreement. Upon shipment of the items specified in an Accepted Purchase Order, an invoice will be generated by Client that may be purchased by Factor under terms of the Factor Agreement (each an "Invoice"). All proceeds thereof and all other amounts at any time payable by Factor to Client shall be paid by Factor directly to Crossroads pursuant to Client’s direction. If any such Invoice is not purchased by Factor, it shall become the property of Crossroads. All proceeds of each Invoice, whether purchased by the Factor or not, are to be applied first to pay Crossroads’ fees, then to repay Crossroads for the Purchase Price of all outstanding Purchase Orders that exist at such time. Crossroads’ fees (“Fee”) shall be equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate amount of the Invoices for the sale by the Client of the goods purchased under the Purchase Order (the “Sales Price”) for up to thirty (30) days from the date Crossroads advances the Purchase Price. After the first thirty (30) days of any given transaction, for every additional ten (10) day period or portion thereof for which a financing facility is provided, there will be an additional charge of one percent (1%) of the aggregate Sales Prices. It is agreed that notwithstanding the aggregate Sales Price of goods sold by Client on a monthly basis, the Client shall pay a Fee per month on a minimum volume of $375,000.00, regardless of whether a lesser amount is actually sold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after Crossroads has purchased $3,000,000.00 or more in Accepted Purchase Orders, and so long as there is no Event of Default hereunder, then the Fee shall be reduced to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the Sales Price for up to thirty (30) days from the date Crossroads advances the Purchase Price, and after the first thirty (30) days of any given transaction, for every additional fifteen (15) day period or portion thereof for which a financing facility is provided, there will be an additional charge of one and one-quarter of one percent (1.25%) of the aggregate Sales Prices.
In addition to the Fee charged by Crossroads, Client acknowledges and agrees that Client shall be obligated to pay Crossroads a facility fee of $15,000.00 (2% of the Maximum Facility Amount) payable at the time that the Factor makes its first payment to Crossroads, and on the anniversary of the date of this Agreement if renewed as provided below (“Facility Fee”).
5. Submission of Purchase Orders. When submitting Purchase Orders for possible purchase by Crossroads, Client shall forward to Crossroads the original and one copy of each such Purchase Order, and such other documents in a form satisfactory to Crossroads as may be required by Crossroads. All Purchase Orders shall be credit-approved in writing according to the terms of the Factor Agreement. All information contained on Purchase Orders shall be verified by Crossroads to ensure, to Crossroads’ satisfaction, that the information contained in each respective Purchase Order is reasonable and feasible (in terms of manufacturing capability, price, and delivery date), which verification may include, without limitation, direct confirmation from the end customer/user and/or vendor. Under no circumstances will Crossroads be facilitating the purchase of inventory by the Client which is not immediately being sold by Client under the terms of a Purchase Order.
6. Accepted Purchase Orders; Quality Inspection; Warehousing. Crossroads shall advise Client, in writing, of its acceptance (an “Accepted Purchase Order”) or rejection of a submitted complete Purchase Order (with all necessary attachments) within two (2) business days following receipt of the items set out in the preceding paragraph. Crossroads may arrange, in Crossroads’ sole and absolute discretion, for an independent pre-shipment quality inspection of the goods before Client ships them to the customer/end-buyer. Client shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with such
inspection, and shall have the right to pre-approve the cost of such inspections. Crossroads will consider waiving the pre-shipment quality inspection by a third party retained by Crossroads if (i) the customer/end-buyer nominates an independent inspector of equivalent status, or (ii) the end-buyer takes responsibility for inspecting (and accepting in writing) the Client’s goods and/or merchandise.
To the extent that goods and/or merchandise need to be warehoused prior to shipment to the customer/end-buyer, Crossroads will require that the goods and/or merchandise financed by Crossroads be warehoused in a Crossroads-approved public warehouse facility. Client shall secure, in writing, Crossroads’ approval of any public warehouse facility before storing the goods and/or merchandise therein. Crossroads will require that a tri-party agreement be entered into with the public warehouse owner prior to storage being effectuated. In the tri-party agreement, the owner of the warehouse facility must acknowledge Crossroads’ ownership, control, and priority first lien position Crossroads has with respect to the goods and/or merchandise it finances and that are to be stored in the said facility.
7. Recourse. Crossroads shall be entitled to immediate and full recourse against and repayment by Client and to demand payment with respect to any Accepted Purchase Orders for the full Purchase Price, if one of the following events occurs:
a. An Accepted Purchase Order is not filled and invoiced to a customer within thirty (30) days following payment of the Purchase Price regardless of the reason.
b. A credit problem, as defined as a customer’s inability to pay debts as they become due because of insolvency, the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, the termination of business and the like, regardless of the validity of any such problem.

Crossroads shall have the right, but not the obligation, to settle any dispute with respect to such Accepted Purchase Order or any Account not purchased by Factor directly with any customer; however, any such settlement shall not relieve Client from the responsibility of having to make full payment on such Accepted Purchase Order.
10. Property of Crossroads. Following Crossroads’ purchase of an Accepted Purchase Order, in the event Factor fails to purchase the invoice and account(s) receivable generated therefrom (a “CF Account”), any and all payments from that customer as to that CF Account are hereby automatically assigned by Client to Crossroads and are hereby the sole property of Crossroads. Client hereby agrees not to interfere with payment thereof by the customer; however, should Client pay any such CF Account in full to Crossroads, or should any such CF Account be charged back or sold back to Client by Crossroads, and Crossroads shall have received full payment therefore, then title thereto shall revert to the Client.

NEVERTHELESS, IN THE EVENT 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.

IF AT ANY TIME THE RATE AT WHICH INTEREST IS PAYABLE HEREUNDER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM RATE, THE AMOUNT OUTSTANDING HEREUNDER 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 FLORIDA OR, IF DIFFERENT, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR TERRITORY IN WHICH THE CLIENT 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 NONUSURIOUS RATE OF INTEREST THAT CROSSROADS IS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO CONTRACT FOR, TAKE, CHARGE OR RECEIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS.
19. Termination. Client hereby agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months it may only sell its Purchase Orders to Crossroads under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, should it decide to sell any such Purchase Orders (the “Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement shall renew for additional twelve (12) month periods unless either Client or Crossroads terminates the relationship by providing the other with thirty (30) days prior written notice; provided, however, that no such termination shall terminate or otherwise affect Client’s obligations hereunder incurred or accrued prior to such termination.
