3.1 Purchases of Accounts. CLIENT shall from time to time sell, transfer and assign all of its Accounts to PURCHASER and said Accounts shall be identified by separate and subsequent written assignments on a form to be provided to CLIENT by PURCHASER. CLIENT agrees to offer and PURCHASER agrees to buy Accounts from CLIENT at a discount of three quarters of one percent (0.75%) (“Purchasing Fee”) from the face value of each Account for every thirty (30) days an Account is outstanding. The Purchasing Fee shall be calculated from the date of purchase by PURCHASER allowing for three (3) business days for collection.

3.2 Approval. PURCHASER reserves the right not to purchase an Account unless such Account is first submitted to PURCHASER by CLIENT for approval. PURCHASER is not obligated to buy any Account from CLIENT.

3.3 Sole Property. Upon the purchase of an Account by PURCHASER, the Account and all payments on said Account shall be the sole property of PURCHASER. Any interference by CLIENT with this payment may result in civil and/or criminal liability.

3.4 Advances. PURCHASER may, in its sole discretion, fund to CLIENT up to eighty five percent (85%) of the gross invoice amount of domestic Accounts (i) with respect to which less than 90 days have elapsed since the date of original invoice, (ii) but not including all Accounts owed by a Customer if the aggregate outstanding dollar amount of such Accounts not considered as eligible under clause (i) above is equal to or greater than 25%, and (iii) and not including all Accounts owed by a Customer if the amount of returns, allowances, credit losses, discounts and other offsets of such Accounts on an historic basis is greater than 4%. Invoices shall be supported by purchase orders and delivery receipts to be eligible for advances. PURCHASER will purchase Accounts on a full dominion, full notification basis and will be handled through a bank lockbox account controlled by PURCHASER. Maximum selling terms shall not exceed net sixty (60) days.

3.5 Reserve. PURCHASER may reserve and withhold an amount in a reserve account equal to Fifteen percent (15%) of the gross invoice amount of all Accounts purchased (“Reserve”). The Reserve will be deducted by PURCHASER from the Accounts at the time of purchase. Said Reserve may be held by PURCHASER and applied by PURCHASER against charge-backs or any Obligations of CLIENT to PURCHASER. In Purchaser’s sole discretion and assuming no Event of Default exists, the Reserve releases will be made available by PURCHASER to CLIENT each business day. Reserve releases are made only on Accounts that are paid by Customers or Accounts that are charged back, repurchased or otherwise settled by CLIENT in full. Reserve is not due and payable to CLIENT until any and all potential Obligations owing by CLIENT to PURCHASER or any reasonably anticipated claims are fully paid and satisfied. CLIENT grants to PURCHASER a security interest in this Reserve, which secures all Obligations. PURCHASER retains the right in its sole and absolute discretion, and in respect of which PURCHASER shall have no liability, to revise said Reserve from time to time if in PURCHASER’S judgment it is necessary to protect PURCHASER with regard to any Obligations owing by CLIENT to PURCHASER, or to protect PURCHASER against possible returns, claims or defenses of CLIENT’S Customers or any other contingencies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, in the event CLIENT shall cease selling Accounts to PURCHASER, PURCHASER shall not pay the amount in the Reserve to Client until all Accounts have been collected or PURCHASER has determined, in its sole discretion, that it will make no further efforts to collect any Accounts and all Obligations due PURCHASER hereunder have been paid.

The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”: (a) CLIENT shall receive payment on any Account and fail to deliver said payment to PURCHASER; (b) CLIENT or any person that is a guarantor of CLIENT shall fail to pay any Obligations to PURCHASER when due and payable; (c) CLIENT shall breach any term, provision, covenant, warranty or representation under this Agreement, or under any other agreements or contracts between CLIENT and PURCHASER or obligation of CLIENT to PURCHASER; (d) the appointment of any receiver or trustee of all or a substantial portion of the assets of CLIENT; (e) CLIENT shall become insolvent or unable to pay debts as they mature, shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall voluntarily file under any bankruptcy or similar law; (f) any involuntary petition in bankruptcy shall be filed against CLIENT and not be dismissed or stayed within 60 days; (g) any levies of attachment, executions, tax assessments or similar process shall be issued against the Collateral and shall not be released within 10 days thereof; (h) any financial statements, profit and loss statements, borrowing certificates or schedules, or other statements furnished by CLIENT to PURCHASER prove false or incorrect in any material respect; (i) CLIENT shall refuse to provide any financial statements, profit and loss statements, borrowing certificates or schedules, or other statements required by PURCHASER; (j) any guarantor of the liabilities and Obligations shall be in default under any agreements to which it is a party, or demand is made on any such guarantor under the terms of any guaranty to which guarantor is a party; or (k) there shall occur any change in the ownership or control of CLIENT (where “control” is the power to direct the operation and/or management of CLIENT through direct or indirect ownership of voting or membership shares or otherwise).

12.2 Remedies. Upon a Default, Purchaser may, without demand or notice to Client, exercise all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, under the UCC or otherwise, including without limitation, terminating this Agreement and declaring all Obligations immediately due and payable provided, however, if the Event of Default is described under clauses (e) or (f) of Section 12.1, such termination and acceleration shall automatically occur without any notice, demand or presentment of any kind. Without notice to or demand upon Client or any other Person, Purchaser may make such payments and do such acts as Purchaser considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, PURCHASER shall have (a) the right to open mail to CLIENT, (b) collect any and all amounts due CLIENT from Customers, (c) The right to (i) enter upon the premises of CLIENT, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help and without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving CLIENT notice and opportunity for a hearing on the validity of PURCHASER’S claim, or any other place or places where the Collateral is located and kept, and remove the Collateral there from to the premises of PURCHASER or any agent of PURCHASER, for such time as PURCHASER may desire, in order to effectively collect or liquidate the Collateral, and/or (ii) require CLIENT to assemble the Collateral and make it available to PURCHASER at a place to be designated by PURCHASER, in its sole discretion; (d) The right to (i) demand payment of the Accounts; (ii) enforce payment of the Accounts, by legal proceedings or otherwise; (iii) exercise all the CLIENT’S rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts; (iv) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Accounts; (v) settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect the Accounts; (vi) if permitted by applicable law, sell or assign the Accounts; (vii) discharge and release the Accounts; (viii) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds; (ix) prepare, file and sign CLIENT’S name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor; (x) prepare, file and sign CLIENT’S name on any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of lien or similar document in connection with the Accounts; (xi) do all acts and things necessary, in PURCHASER’S sole discretion, to fulfill CLIENT’S Obligations under this Agreement; (xii) endorse the name of CLIENT upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to the Accounts and inventory; (xiii) use CLIENT’S stationery and sign the name of CLIENT to verifications of the Accounts and notices thereof to Account Debtors; (xiv) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Accounts and inventory to which CLIENT has access; (xv) require CLIENT to repurchase the uncollected Accounts; (xvi) cease purchasing Accounts from CLIENT; and (xvii) reduce the advance rate on eligible Accounts; (e) The right to (i) sell or to otherwise dispose of all or any Collateral in its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as PURCHASER, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable; (ii) adjourn such sales from time to time, with or without notice; (iii) conduct such sales on CLIENT’S premises or elsewhere and use CLIENT’S premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as PURCHASER may see fit; (iv) use, in connection with any assembly or disposition of the Collateral, without charge, CLIENT’S labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any

property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral used by CLIENT and PURCHASER may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations. The proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied first to the reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by PURCHASER for collection and for acquisition, completion, protection, removal, storage, sale and delivery of the Collateral and second to Obligations owed PURCHASER by CLIENT. If any deficiency shall arise, CLIENT shall remain liable to PURCHASER therefore.

13.4 Successors and Assigns; Participation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the PURCHASER may, without consent of the CLIENT, grant a security interest in, sell or assign, grant or sell participations in or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and Obligations hereunder to one or more persons. Client may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Purchaser. This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties to it.

13.5 Cumulative Rights. All rights, remedies and powers granted to PURCHASER in this Agreement, or in any note or other agreement given by CLIENT to PURCHASER, are cumulative and may be exercised from time to time as to all or any part of the pledged Collateral as PURCHASER in its discretion may determine.

13.6 Written Waiver. PURCHASER may not waive its rights and remedies unless the waiver is in writing and signed by PURCHASER. A waiver by PURCHASER of a right or remedy under this Agreement on one occasion is not a waiver of the right or remedy on any subsequent occasion.
