Without affecting Seller’s obligation to repay to Purchaser the amount of each Overadvance, if an Overadvance is not paid (and is still continuing) within three (3) Business Days after such demand by Purchaser, without limiting Purchaser’s right to declare an Event of Default, Seller shall pay Purchaser a fee (the “Overadvance Fee”) in an amount of $500.00 per each occurrence of an Overadvance, plus interest on such Overadvance at the Default Rate.

2.2.3 Collateral Monitoring Fee. To compensate Purchaser for overhead and other costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser related to monitoring any future Overadvance and Eligible Inventory and the general administration of the financing facility evidenced hereby, commencing after the initial Advance under this Rider, Seller shall pay a collateral monitoring fee (“Collateral Monitoring Fee”) equal to 0.17% per month of the average Eligible Inventory balance, calculated daily and payable and charged against the Reserve Account monthly.

Each determination by Purchaser of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
2.2.5 Payment Location. All payments to Purchaser shall be payable at Purchaser’s address set forth in the Agreement or at such other place or places as Purchaser from time to time may designate, by notice in writing, to Seller.
2.2.6 Payment. Unless there is an Event of Default, Overadvance, or termination, Seller’s repayment of Advances shall be payable from Purchaser’s collection of Accounts in respect of which a Purchased Account Debtor is obligated, including those Accounts arising from Seller’s sale of the Eligible Inventory to its customers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Purchaser shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to require payment of all fees and expenses, due under this Rider upon demand, or, on the first day of each month (for any interest accruing during the immediately preceding month), and all such fees, expenses, and interest may be automatically deducted from the Reserve Account. Upon an Event of Default, Overadvance, or termination of the Rider or the Agreement by any Party, the balance of the Advances and all Obligations shall be payable by Seller to Purchaser upon demand by Purchaser

All such payments and all such items of payment with respect to Purchased Accounts shall be the sole and exclusive property of Purchaser immediately upon the earlier of the receipt of such items by Purchaser or the receipt of such items by Seller or guarantor. All payments made by or on behalf of and all credits due Seller in respect of Purchased Accounts may be applied and reapplied in whole or in part to any of the Obligations to the extent and in the manner Purchaser deems advisable.
2.2.8 Application of Payments and Collections. Seller irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and collections at any time or times hereafter received by Purchaser from or on behalf of Seller, and Seller does hereby irrevocably agree that Purchaser shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time or times hereafter by Purchaser or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Purchaser may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Purchaser upon any of its books and records.
2.3 Advances without Documentation. Each Advance made to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to this Rider may or may not (at Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion) be evidenced by notes or other instruments issued or made by Purchaser to Seller. Where such Advances are not so evidenced, such Advances shall be evidenced solely by entries upon Purchaser’s books and records.

All evidences of Advances made by Purchaser to Seller under this Rider shall constitute one indebtedness and be deemed included in the Obligations of Seller to Purchaser under this Rider and shall constitute one such general obligation secured by Purchaser’s security interest in all of the Collateral and by all other security interests, liens, claims and encumbrances heretofore, now, or at any time or times hereafter granted by Seller to Purchaser. Seller agrees that all of the rights of Purchaser set forth in this Rider shall apply to any modification of or supplement to this Rider.
2.5 Mandatory Prepayments. If, at any time during the term of the Rider, the total unpaid Advances shall exceed the lower of cost or market value of the Eligible Inventory (as defined in section 2.7 below) Seller shall immediately pay an amount equal to such excess within two (2) days of receiving notice from Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the sole discretion to determine the cost and market value of the Eligible Inventory based upon its third-party appraisals of such Eligible Inventory, which may be obtained at any time at the discretion of Purchaser; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Seller shall only be responsible to pay for two such appraisals in any 12 month period..

The methodology used to value Eligible Inventory for all purposes under this Rider (except Section 2.5) and the Agreement shall be the net orderly liquidation value as determined by Purchaser based upon third party appraisals of the Eligible Inventory, which may be obtained at any time at the discretion of Purchaser; provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Seller shall only be responsible to pay for one such appraisal in any 12 month period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the following shall be deemed to be Eligible Inventory:

5.2.4 All Invoices giving rise to Accounts covering the sale of Inventory shall be offered to Purchaser for purchase as Purchased Accounts in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the proceeds of any such Purchased Account, if collected by Seller, are to be remitted to Purchaser in accordance with, pursuant to and under the constraints imposed by the Agreement. Cash sales of Inventory or sales in which a lien upon or security interest in the Inventory is retained shall only be made by Seller upon Purchaser’s prior written approval.
5.2.5 Unless Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, requires otherwise, all Inventory is and shall remain stored on Seller’s Inventory locations as identified in Schedule A unless it is Inventory in transit.

5.2.6 No Inventory is or may at any time be subject to any lien or security interest whatsoever, except for the security interest granted to Purchaser, any lien permitted under the Agreement, or is a lien or security interest that is contractually waived or subordinated to the security interest of Purchaser in a manner, form, and substance satisfactory to Purchaser.
5.2.7 Seller shall promptly pay when due all taxes, assessments, and any other form of claim that may be levied or assessed in respect to or upon the Inventory.

Such endorsement or an independent instrument furnished to Purchaser, shall provide that the insurance companies will give Purchaser at least thirty days prior written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered or canceled and that no act or default of Seller or any other person shall affect the right of Purchaser to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage. Seller hereby agrees to direct all insurers under such policies of insurance to pay all proceeds payable with respect to the Inventory to Purchaser to satisfy any outstanding Obligations of Seller under this Rider.
