II.          Purchase Price, etc.

 

A.          The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for each Receivable purchased by AGR will be paid in the following two components: (i) an initial cash amount (the "Advance Amount") equal to the percentage (the "Advance Rate") as set forth from time to time in each Assignment multiplied by the net face amount of each Purchased Receivable less all discounts (calculated on shortest terms), credits and allowances of any nature at any time issued, owed or claimed by Debtors (the "Gross Amount"); and (ii) a Reserve (as hereinafter defined) in all amounts collected with respect to such Receivable in excess of the Break-even Point (as hereinafter defined) with respect thereto.

 

The Advance Rate shall be up to 85%.

 

B.          The Reserve will be any amounts collected in excess of the Break-even Point and will be determined separately for each Receivable purchased from the Client, in accordance with the applicable Assignment, except as set forth in Section II(C).

 

 
 

 

C.          The "Break-even Point" with respect to a Receivable will be an amount equal to the Advance Amount plus the Initial Fee (as defined below) applicable thereto and any other charges, costs, and fees agreed to by Client and AGR (the "Other Fees");provided however, that after the Client has ceased selling Receivables to AGR or AGR has ceased purchasing Receivables from the Client, unless such event has been caused by the Credit Limit set forth in Section I(D), AGR shall have the right at any time thereafter to combine all Receivables and treat such Receivables as a single combined Receivable, at which time the Break-even Point will become the total Advance Amount plus the total Initial Fees and Other Fees for such combined Receivables.

 

D.          As of any date of determination, the "Aggregate Advance Exposure" will be an amount equal to the aggregate of the Advance Amounts of all Receivables which have not yet reached the Break-even Point, less any collections with respect to such Receivables.

 

E.          The Client shall pay to AGR an initial fee (the "Initial Fee") equal to the Gross Amount of the Purchased Receivables included in each Schedule multiplied by the applicable percentage set forth in the Grid below opposite the applicable Gross Amount of such Purchased Receivables in such Schedule, provided that:

 

(a)if in any week, only one Schedule shall be purchased by AGR, the Gross Amount of the Purchased Receivables included therein shall determine the applicable percentage below; and
(b)if in any week, more than one Schedule shall be purchased by AGR, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)no change in any Initial Fee previously calculated during such week for other Schedules shall occur when any additional Schedule or Schedules is purchased by AGR; and
(ii)if any additional Schedule or Schedules is purchased by AGR, upon each such purchase, the Gross Amount of Purchased Receivables in such Schedule shall be added to the Gross Amount in other Schedules previously purchased in the same week, and the sum of such Gross Amounts shall be used to determine the applicable Initial Fee under the Grid below for purposes of such Schedule only.

 

Such Initial Fee may be deducted from the collections on Receivables and retained by AGR but shall be fully earned and non-refundable upon purchase by AGR of such Schedule:

 

Percentage Weekly Volume
   
1.40% Up to $49,999
   
1.20% $50,000 to $99,999
   
1.10% $100,000 and above

 

 

The percentages set forth above in this paragraph E for calculation of the Initial Fee shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as calculated by AGR (such calculation to be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) in the event that the Prime Rate (as defined below) shall increase above 3.25% per annum.

 

F.          The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price has been calculated to take into account any services provided by the Client with respect to Purchased Receivables, and no other amount with respect to the providing of services for any Schedule shall be payable to the Client.

 

 
 

 

G.          The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Advance Rate and percentage used for caleulating the Initial Fee may be changed from time to time in the sole discretion of AGR. Without limiting the foregoing, at any time Client is an Impaired Client, the percentage for calculating the Initial Fee shall automatically increased to 1.75% and the daily percentage finance charge referred to in IIH shall be automatically increased to .058%, in each case without notice to or consent of Client.

 

H.          In the event that any Purchased Receivable shall not be paid within thirty (30) days after the date of payment of the initial Advance Amount with respect to such Receivable, the Client shall pay to AGR a daily percentage finance charge equal to the Percentage, set forth below opposite the Initial Fee which applied to the Receivable, subject to adjustment from time to time as calculated by AGR (such calculation to be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) in the event that the prime rate of interest established from time to time by Sovereign Bank shall increase above 3.25% per annum, on the unpaid amount of such Purchased Receivable for the period from and including the thirtieth (30th) day after such date of payment until the earlier of the payment thereof and the date the Break-even Point is reached with respect to the Receivables which included such Purchased Receivables. The Percentages shall be as follows:

 

Percentage Initial Fee
   
.0467% 1.40%
.0400% 1.20%
.0367% 1.10%

 

Ill.            Certain Procedures.

 

A.          AGR will transmit by wire or, if requested by Client, by check the Advance Amount of the Purchase Price for each Purchased Receivable on the next business day following the business day of AGR's receipt of the Assignment covering such Receivable executed by the Client or, if such Assignment is received after 1:00 p.m., on the second business day thereafter (a "Purchase Date"). All bank charges, wire and other transfer charges are for the account of the Client and payable on demand by AGR.

 

B.           Upon such payment, the Client will have sold to AGR all of the Client's right, title and interest in such Purchased Receivables and other Transferred Property and in any proceeds thereof, and AGR will be the sole and absolute owner thereof and will own all of the Client's rights and remedies represented by such Purchased Receivables (including, without limitation, rights to direct or indirect payment from the respective Debtors on such Purchased Receivables), and AGR will have obtained all of the Client's rights under all supporting obligations, guarantees, assignments and securities with respect to each Purchased Receivable.

 

C.           The Client irrevocably authorizes AGR to file all required Uniform Commercial Code releases or financing statements in favor of AGR.

 

IV.           Collection and Servicing of Purchased Receivables.

 

A.           Prior to the sale of any Receivable hereunder, AGR shall establish an account for all of Client's Receivables (the "Lockbox Account") which may include other deposits of AGR, at Bank of New York or at such other bank as AGR may determine (the "Lockbox Bank"), and shall enter into an agreement relating thereto in form and substance satisfactory to AGR and the Lockbox Bank. The Lockbox Account shall be an account in the name of AGR or its designee, and shall be the sole and exclusive property of AGR and its designee. The Client shall be responsible for all charges in connection with the Lockbox Account which relate to Receivables including, without limitation, wire and other transfer charges and all such charges shall be payable upon demand by AGR.

 

B.           In the event that the Client directly receives any payments in respect of Purchased Receivables, the Client shall within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof (i) deposit in the Lockbox Account all such payments on Purchased Receivables and (ii) send to AGR or its designee all remittance

advices accompanying such payments or, if no such remittance advice accompanied any such payment, notice of the amount so received.

 

 
 

 

C.          Upon AGR's receipt of a remittance advice from the Lockbox Bank confirming that it has received payments on Receivables purchased, funds will be posted by AGR (the "Application of Payments"), to the specific Receivable paid provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Finance Charge, such funds will be deemed to be posted on the second succeeding business day. Such funds wm be retained by AGR until the Break-even Point with respect to such Receivable is reached. Thereafter, such amounts shall be payable to Client as the Reserve promptly after receipt thereof (subject, in each case, to permitted offsets under this Agreement) on each Friday or if such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day (each a "Settlement Date").

 

D.          On each Settlement Date, AGR will deliver to the Client reports (the “Settlement Reports") substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Each Settlement Report will set forth AGR's Application of Payments with respect to each Receivable paid together with a list of Ineligible Receivables (as defined in Section VI below). Such Settlement Report may also list those Receivables with respect to which AGR has been unable to make a determination as to their continuing eligibility (the "Outstanding Receivables"). In the event that Client has not disputed the Application of Payments contained in any Settlement Report within thirty (30) business days after its receipt by Client, then all such undisputed Application of Payments shall be deemed final.

 

E.           The Client shall be responsible for servicing and collection of Purchased Receivables subject to the terms and conditions of a Servicing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof by and between the Client, as primary servicer (the "Primary Servicer''), and AGR.

V.           Misdirected Payments; Erroneous Payments.

 

A.           If a Debtor shall make payment of a Purchased Receivable to the Client or to a person or location other than as provided in the invoice therefor ("Misdirected Payments"), the Client (at its own cost and expense) shall promptly take all necessary steps to effect collection of such Misdirected Payment from any other party claiming an interest therein or having possession thereof and (i) hold such payment in trust for AGR, (ii) segregate such payment and not deposit such payment in the Client's own account, nor commingle such payment with the Client's own funds or other assets and (iii) deliver such payment no later than the close of business on the day of receipt to the Lockbox Account.

 

B.           The Client agrees to pay, on demand, a finance charge on any Misdirected Payment received by the Client that is not deposited in the Lockbox Account within 48 hours after receipt by the Client during the period from the Client's receipt thereof until such payment is deposited at a rate per day equal to .058 percent, but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (the "Interest Rate"). Charges made under this Section V(B) shall be in addition to, and not in substitution to, any other fees and charges under this agreement.

 

C.          If AGR shall receive any payment from any Debtor of any receivable or claim not included as a Purchased Receivable ("Erroneous Payment"), AGR shall, upon identification of such Erroneous Payment by Client, and confirmation by AGR (at the sole cost and expense of Client) that such is an Erroneous Payment, use its best efforts to promptly take all necessary steps to deliver or remit funds equal to the amount of such Erroneous Payment to Client on the next Settlement Date.

 

D.           The Client will cooperate with AGR and its agents in the identification of sums deposited into the Lockbox Account, which cooperation shall continue until all Purchased Receivables sold hereunder have been collected. In the event any sums deposited into the Lockbox Account cannot be identified to the satisfaction of AGR, such sum shall be posted to the appropriate Purchased Receivable as determined by AGR in its sole discretion.

 

 
 

 

VI.           Ineligible and Defaulted Receivables.

 

A.           If a breach of any of the representations or warranties contained herein relating to a Purchased Receivable (each, an "Ineligible Receivable'1shall be discovered at any time prior to the date the Break even Point is reached with respect to such Purchased Receivable, the Client shall cure such breach in accordance with this Section VI. If any Purchased Receivable shall not be paid in full within 90 days following its original invoice date, such Purchased Receivable shall be treated as a Defaulted Receivable hereunder.

 

B.          The Client shall, on the next Settlement Date after discovery of an Ineligible or Defaulted Receivable or in the absence of a Settlement Date, promptly upon demand, repurchase any Ineligible or Defaulted Receivable (a "Repurchased Receivable") from AGR at a repurchase price (the "Repurchase Price") equal to (i) the Break-even Point determined for such Repurchased Receivable, less (ii) any amount collected by AGR with respect to such Ineligible or Defaulted Receivable (which amount AGR shall retain), plus (iii) interest equal to the Interest Rate on such difference of (i) minus (ii) for each day from the earlier of either the Settlement Date that payment of the Repurchase Price is due or the date the Repurchase Price is demanded to but excluding the date the Repurchase Price is paid. The Break-even Point for any such Repurchased Receivable shall be the Advance Amount for such Repurchased Receivable plus the Initial Fee with respect thereto.

 

C.          Upon payment of the Repurchase Price, AGR shall be deemed to have resold the Ineligible or Defautted Receivable, including any Transferred Property with respect thereto, to the Client without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, and shall have no further obligation to the Client with respect to such Repurchased Receivable, but such resale shall not affect or impair any security interest therein held by AGR or AGR's rights under Section II(H). AGR shall take such actions as may be reasonably required to reassign an Ineligible or Defaulted Receivable to the Client. In addition to all other rights and remedies available to AGR at law or in equity, AGR may offset against any amounts it owes the Client under this Agreement any amounts due AGR with respect to Repurchased Receivables.

 

D.          If after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Repurchase Price for any Repurchased Receivable, AGR is compelled to surrender such payment to any person or entity because such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible set-off, or for any other reason caused by or related to the Client, the Client shall be liable to AGR for, and shall indemnify and hold AGR harmless for, the amount of such payment surrendered and any damages resulting therefrom.

AGR FUNDING, INC.

 

GUARANTEE

 

In order to induce AGR Funding, Inc. {which, together with its successors, endorsees and assigns, is hereinafter called "AGR") to purchase accounts receivable and other obligations from, and make such advances, loans or extensions of credit, directly or indirectly, to TOWNSEND CAREERS. LLC {hereinafter, whether one or more, called the "Custome ') and to grant to the Customer such renewals, extensions, forbearances, releases of collateral or other relinquishments of rights as AGR may deem advisable, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned (hereinafter, whether one or more, called the "Guaranto ') who if more than one, shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder, hereby unconditionally guarantees to AGR the due and punctual payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, in accordance with the terms thereof, ofthe principal of and interest on and all other sums payable with respect to any and every obligation or liability of the Customer to AGR, whether now existing or hereafter incurred, whether originally contracted with AGR or with another and transferred to AGR or otherwise acquired by AGR, whether contracted by the Customer alone or jointly with others, and whether absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured, matured or unmatured (such obligations and liabilities of the Customer being hereinafter collectively called the "Liabilities").

 

The term "Collateral" as hereinafter used shall mean the collateral listed in any schedule appended hereto and any funds, guarantees, agreements, goods, accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, chattelpaper, documents, instruments, or any other thing in which AGR is given a security interest pursuant to this Guarantee, or other property or rights or interests of any nature whatsoever, or the proceeds thereof, which may have been, are, or hereafter may be assigned, transferred or delivered to AGR or in which AGR is given a security interest directly or indirectly by or on behalf of the Customer or the Guarantor or any other person or which may now or hereafter be held by any person, as trustee or otherwise, as security, whether immediate or underlying, for the performance of this Guarantee or the payment of the Liabilities or any of them or any security therefor. The Guarantor hereby agrees to take any and all steps necessary to preserve AGR's rights in the Collateralagainst any other parties, and AGR is not obligated to take any such steps or action. Without limiting the generality ofthe foregoing, AGR shall not be obligated to take any action in connection with any conversion, call, redemption, retirement or any other event relating to any of the Collateral unless the Guarantor gives notice to AGR that such action shall be taken not more than thirty (30) days prior to the time such action may first be taken and not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the time during which such action may be taken.

 

The Guarantor hereby grants to AGR full power, without notice to the Guarantor,and, if there is more than one Guarantor liable hereunder, without in any way affecting the joint and several obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, to deal in any manner with the Customer, the Liabilities, the Collateral and with any Guarantor hereunder, and any other guarantor of the Liabilities including, without limitation, the powers: (a) to modify or otherwise change any terms of all or any part of the Liabilities and/or the Collateral, to grant any extension or renewal thereof and any other indulgence with respect thereto, and to effect any release, subordination, compromise or settlement with respect to the Customer, the Liabilities, the Collateral, and the obligation of any one or more ofthe Guarantors; (b) to enter into any agreement of forbearance with respect to all or any part of the Collateral, or with respect to the Liabilities of the Customer or the obligations of any Guarantor, or to change the terms of any such agreement; (c) to forbear from calling for additionalcollateralto secure any of the Liabilities or to secure any obligation comprised in the Collateral; and (d) to consent to the substitution, exchange, or release of all or any part of the Collateral, whether or not the collateral, if any, received by AGR upon such substitution, exchange, or release shall be of the same or of a different character or value than the collateral surrendered by AGR. ·

 

The Guarantor waives any notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee, or of the creation, renewal or accrual of any of the Liabilities, present or future, or of the reliance of AGR upon this Guarantee. The Liabilities shall conclusively be presumed to have been created, contracted for, incurred or suffered to exist in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Customer and AGR shall likewise be presumed to be in reliance upon this Guarantee. The Guarantor waives protest, presentment, demand for payment, notice of default or non-payment, and notice of dishonor to or upon the Guarantor, the Customer, or any other party liable for any of the Liabilities. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, and the rights of AGR in the Collateral, shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected,nor shall the Guarantor have any rights againstAGR by reason of the fact that AGR fails to preserve any rights in the Collateralor take any action whatsoever in regard to the Collateral or that any of the Collateral may be in default at the time of acceptance thereof by AGR or later; nor by reason of the fact that a valid lien in any of the Collateral may not be conveyed to, or created in favor of AGR; nor by reason of the fact that any of the Collateralmay be subject to equities or defenses or claims in favor of others or may be invalid or defective in any way; nor by reason of the fact that any of the Liabilities may be invalid or unenforceable against the Customer or any obligor thereon for any reason whatsoever; nor by reason of the fact that the value of the Collateral, if any, or the financial condition ofthe Customer, or of any obligor on the Liabilities or any obligation included in the Collateral may not have been correctly estimated or was thereafter changed; nor by reason of any deterioration, waste, or loss by fire, theft, or otherwise of any of the Collateral; nor by reason of the release, in whole or in part, with or without consideration of the Collateral or any of it

 

 
 

 

In case the Customer shall fail to pay all or any part of the Liabilities when due, the Guarantor immediately will pay to AGR the amount due and unpaid by the Customer under such Liabilities, in like manner as if such amount constituted the direct and primary obligation of the Guarantor. AGR shall be entitled to exercise any rights and remedies it may have under this Guarantee without being obligated to resort first to the Collateral or to any other security or to any other remedy or remedies to enforce payment or collection of the Liabilities, and may pursue all or any of its remedies at one or at different times. AGR is hereby given a continuing lien and security interest for the additional security of this Guarantee as well as of any other obligation or liability (present or future, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured) of the Guarantor to AGR, upon all property and securities now or hereafter given to or left in the possession or custody of AGR for any purpose (including property left in safekeeping), by or for the account of the Guarantor, and also upon any deposits with or any credit or claim of any Guarantor against AGR existing from time to time.

 

In the event that AGR shall receive any payments on account of any of the Liabilities, whether directly or indirectly, and it shall subsequently be determined that such payments were for any reason improper, or a claim shall be made against AGR that the same were improper, and AGR either voluntarily or pursuant to court order shall return the same, the Guarantor shall be liable, with the same effect as if the said payments had never been paid to, or received by, AGR, for the amount of such repaid or returned payments, notwithstanding the fact that such repaid or returned payments may theretofore have been credited on account of the Liabilities or any of them.

 

The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives for the benefit of the Customer and AGR, and agrees that it will not exercise, any rights which it may have or acquire by way of subrogation under this Guarantee, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of AGR and shall forthwith be paid to AGR to be credited and applied upon the Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with their terms.

 

Upon default by the Customer with respect to the Liabilities or by the Guarantor with respect to the obligations or liabilities of either of the Customer or Guarantor to AGR, AGR may sell or dispose of the whole or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale with or without any previous demand for performance to the Guarantor or the Customer. Any legal requirement of notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be deemed satisfied by the giving of five days' prior written notice to the Customer or the Guarantor which shall also be deemed reasonable notice. If the Collateralis perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, AGR shall not be required to give notice to the Customer or the Guarantor of public or private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral. AGR may retain from the proceeds of any such sale all costs and charges incurred by it in the said taking and sale or other disposalincluding but not limited to attorneys' fees. If a deficit should remain after any such sale or other disposal, the Guarantor will pay the same promptly upon demand to AGR. AGR or its agent may bid and/or purchase free from any right or equity of redemption at any such public or private sale.

 

The Guarantor agrees to pay all expenses incurred by AGR (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) in connection with enforcement of this Guarantee.

 

No delay on the part of AGR in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partialexerciseof any power or right hereunder or the failure to exercise the same in any instance preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right; nor shall AGR be liable for exercising or failing to exercise any such power or right;the rights and remedies hereunder expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which AGR or any one on whose behalf it has acted or shall act as herein provided, or its or his or their transferees, may or will otherwise have. In addition to all rights and remedies granted herein, AGR shall have all of the rights of a Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code of New York.

 

 
 

 

All payments hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction for, any present or future withholding or other taxes or duties, including stamp duties, or other charges of any nature imposed on such payments by or on behalf of any government or any political subdivision or agency thereof or therein. If any such taxes, duties or charges are so levied or imposed on any such payment, the Guarantor will make additional payments in such amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by AGR, after deduction for or on account of all such taxes, duties or charges, will be equal to the amount provided for herein. The Guarantor shall furnish promptly to AGR official receipts evidencing the payment of any such taxes, duties or charges paid by the Guarantor.

 

The term "AGR" as used throughout this instrument shall be deemed to include AGR, all of its branches and departments,and any individual, partnership or corporation acting as its nominee or agenand any corporate subsidiary the majority of the voting stock of which is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by AGR. The term "Customer" as used throughout this instrument shall include the individual or individuals, association, partnership, or corporation named herein as the Customer, and (a) any successor, individualor individuals, association, partnership or corporation to which all or substantially all ofthe business or assets of the Customer shall have been transferred, (b) in the case of a Customer which is a partnership, any new partnership which shall have been created by reason of the admission of any new partner or partners therein or the dissolution of the existing partnership by the death,resignation or other withdrawal of any partner, and (c) in the case of a Customer which is a corporation, any other corporation into or with which the Customer shall have been merged, consolidated, reorganized, purchased or absorbed.

 

This Guarantee shall,without further reference, pass to and may be relied on and enforced by any successor or assignee of AGR, and any transferee or subsequent holder of any of the Liabilities,.and the Customer and/or the Guarantor will not assert any claims it may have against AGR against any such assignee, successor, transferee, or any other subsequent holder.
