COMMERCIAL FINANCING AGREEMENT
 
7.  Cross-Col lateral ization. If a "Default" (as defined in this Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, Porter Capital shall have the right, which may be exercised in its sole and absolute discretion at any time and from time to time during the continuance of such Default, to apply all amounts collected with respect to Accounts Receivable as follows, before any payment from such collections shall be made to the Company: (i) against the un-reimbursed balance of the Purchase Price made by Porter Capital to the Company with respect to Purchased Receivables; (ii) to the payment of all fees accrued with respect to the Accounts Receivable purchased by Porter Capital from the Company, whether or not such fees have become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) to the payment of any and all other liabilities and obligations of the Company to Porter Capital pursuant to this Agreement, the "Security Agreement" and any other agreement entered into between Porter Capital and the Company concurrently herewith (the "Transaction Documents"). For purposes of this paragraph, "Company" shall mean and include each person named as the Company in the preamble of this Agreement and any shareholder, parent, subsidiary, controlling person or other affiliate.
8.  Over-Advances. While it is anticipated that the Reserve Account will carry a positive balance most if not all the time, Porter Capital may, as part of this Commercial Financing Agreement and to ease the Company's short-term cash-flow problems, permit the Company to carry an Over-Advance balance on its Reserve Account. An Over-Advance is defined as a negative balance in the Reserve Account. Upon the establishment of each such Over-Advance amount, Porter Capital, in its sole judgment, shall have the right to charge the Company a one-time processing and administrative fee of up to four percent of each such amount so established as an Over-Advance. Porter Capital may withhold from the Accounts Receivable or the sums it normally advances such sums as it deems necessary to satisfy any Over-Advance or negative balance in the Reserve Account. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Porter Capital may terminate the Over-Advance facility at any time without notice to the Company as it deems fit. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Over-Advance balance at the rate of two percent per month.
9.  Collection of Accounts Receivable.
9.1 The Company will instruct all of its Customers obligated with respect to its Accounts Receivable to mail or deliver payments on such Accounts Receivable directly to Porter Capital at its address set forth in the preamble of this Agreement or to such other address that Porter Capital may specify in a written notice to the Company. Each invoice shall bear the following instructions prominently displayed in large bold type:
“This invoice has been assigned to Porter Capital Corporation for the account of LUMEA, INC., a Nevada corporation, known or trading as LUMEA STAFFING OF CA, INC., a Nevada corporation, LUMEA STAFFING, INC.., a Nevada corporation, and LUMEA STAFFING OF IL, INC., an Illinois corporation, and must be paid to c/o Porter Capital Corporation, P. O. Box 12105, Birmingham, AL 35202.”
Such instructions shall not be rescinded or modified without Porter Capital's prior written consent. If, despite such instructions, the Company shall receive any payments with respect to any Accounts Receivable purchased by Porter Capital, it shall receive such payments in trust for the benefit of Porter Capital, shall segregate such payments from its other funds, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Porter Capital, in the same form as so received with all necessary endorsements, all such payments received as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two business days after the receipt thereof by the Company. If the Company fails to turn over to Porter Capital any checks or other form of payment received by it, or in the event the Company deposits any such checks or payments into its own account, the Company must deliver to Porter Capital either the payment in the identical form received or the cash equivalent of the amount of the Misdirected Payment within two (2) business days. If the Company fails to deliver such value within said two (2) business days or if the Company shall present any invoice to Porter Capital for an advance against which merchandise has not been shipped, services have not been rendered or work performed (an “Invalid Invoice”), this shall be an event of default of this contract, and in addition, as the exact costs to Porter Capital of such actions by the Company are difficult if not impossible to calculate, the Company shall pay to Porter Capital the entire invoice amount at once plus liquidated damages equal to twenty-five percent of the amount so deposited or the Invalid Invoice amount submitted to Porter Capital.

COMMERCIAL FINANCING AGREEMENT
 
9.2 Porter Capital shall have the full power and authority to collect each Account Receivable, through legal action or otherwise, and may, in its sole discretion, settle, compromise, or assign (in whole or in part) the claim for any of the Accounts Receivable, or otherwise exercise any other right now existing or hereafter arising with respect to any of the Accounts Receivable, if such action will facilitate collection. The amount of any reduction resulting from any such settlement, compromise, assignment or other collection action shall reduce the balance otherwise due to the Company hereunder.

9.3 Should Company receive and deposit or otherwise convert into cash any payment from any account debtor when such payment was due Porter Capital, and because the damage to Porter Capital cannot be quantified, the Company may be held liable to Porter Capital as liquidated damages for three times the amount of such converted payment or five thousand dollars, whichever is the larger amount (the “Misdirected Payment Fee”). The enforcement or non-enforcement of these damages shall not be considered a waiver of any remedy or default, nor shall it be construed a precedent for future discretionary actions available to Porter Capital.
9.4 If Porter Capital shall agree that certain Account Debtors' invoices be eligible for financing between the thirty-first and sixtieth days beyond their net-thirty due date (i. e., during the period from sixty to ninety days after their origination date), then these invoices shall be deemed "Special Risk," and a further charge of one and one-half percent for each fifteen-day period in which each of these invoices is outstanding will be collected by Porter Capital, but ninety days after the origination date these Special Risk invoices shall be deemed a Customer Dispute and shall be charged back to the Company's account.

The covenants of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.  Term.

11.3 The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the remedies of Porter Capital for a breach of such representations, warranties and/or covenants, shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and such termination shall not effect the rights of Porter Capital to enforce its remedies under the Transaction Documents against the Company or against any collateral after a default by the Company. Upon termination, the Company shall remain fully responsible to Porter Capital for any Purchased Receivables purchased prior to such termination. Additionally, Porter Capital shall maintain its security interest in the Property (as hereinafter defined) of the Company until all of its Obligations (as hereinafter defined) to Porter Capital have been paid in full.

Invoices unpaid after ninety days from any Customer without a Credit Problem shall be deemed to be the subject of a Customer Dispute.

PERFORMANCE COVENANT & WAIVER
 
WHEREAS, LUMEA, INC., a Nevada corporation, known or trading as LUMEA STAFFING OF CA, INC., a Nevada corporation, LUMEA STAFFING, INC.., a Nevada corporation, and LUMEA STAFFING OF IL, INC., an Illinois corporation, with a primary business location at 7430 E. Butherus Dr., Suite D, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 with additional business locations as reflected on attached Exhibit “I” (jointly, individually, severally and collectively hereinafter referred to as “the "Company"), has entered into a commercial financing agreement and other related documents dated as of the date hereof with PORTER CAPITAL CORPORATION, an Alabama corporation with an office for the transaction of business at 292 Madison Avenue, NY, NY, 10017; 38 Grove Street – Building C, Ridgefield, CT 06877; and 2112 First Ave. North, Birmingham, Alabama 35203, (hereinafter respectively referred to as the "Commercial Financing Agreement" and "Porter Capital"), wherein Porter Capital has agreed to purchase, at a discount, certain accounts receivable and/or invoices of the Company under certain terms and conditions; and
WHEREAS, Porter Capital is willing to purchase the accounts receivable and/or invoices from the Company only if the undersigned executes and delivers this Performance Covenant and Waiver (also referred to herein as the "Guaranty") guarantying payment to Porter Capital of any of the Obligations of the Company (as defined herein) which may become due and payable in the manner hereinafter provided.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten ($10.00) Dollars, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Porter Capital to enter into the Commercial Financing Agreement, the undersigned covenants and agrees with Porter Capital as follows:
1. Guaranty of Obligations - - The undersigned, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee to Porter Capital full payment and prompt and faithful performance by the Company of all of its present and future indebtedness and obligations to Porter Capital. The words "indebtedness" and "obligations" are used herein in their most comprehensive sense and include any and all advances, debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company heretofore including without limitation attorneys' fees, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether the Company may be liable individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations or otherwise become unenforceable. Said indebtedness and obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be collectively referred to herein as "Obligations."
2. Default - Any one or more of the following shall be a default hereunder:
 
(a)
any default in the payment or performance of any instrument (including without limitation the Commercial Financing Agreement), or of the Obligations hereby guaranteed; or
 
(b)
any warranty, representation, statement, or report made or delivered to Porter Capital by or on behalf of the Company, or the undersigned, being incorrect, false, untrue, or misleading when given in any material respect whatever; or
 
(c)
a dissolution of the Company or the transfer, hypothecation, or liquidation of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or
 
(d)
the sale, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or alienation of any shareholder's interest in the Company.
In the event of any of the foregoing, the Obligations hereby guaranteed shall become, for the purpose of this Agreement, due and payable by the undersigned forthwith without demand or notice.
3. Presumption of Default - In the event that Porter Capital shall have purchased an Account Receivable from the Company which shall not have been paid in full when due at a time when the Customer to which such Account Receivable was billed (1) has not become unable to pay its debts because of financial problems or insolvency or both, (2) has not had the appointment of any receiver or trustee for all or a substantial portion of its assets, (3) has not filed a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (4) has not had filed against it an involuntary or voluntary Bankruptcy proceeding, then the failure of the Customer to pay such Account Receivable shall be presumed to be the result of the Company's breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation in the Commercial Financing Agreement with respect to the Account Receivable to which it relates.
 
27

 
Performance Covenant
 
4.  Authority of Officers - Porter Capital shall not be required to inquire into the powers of the Company or the officers, directors, agents, acting or purporting to act in its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be deemed to be guaranteed hereunder.
5.  Repurchase of Invoices - Porter Capital agrees that it generally will refrain from making credit inquiries of the Company's customers prior to its purchase of Accounts. Porter Capital shall rely on the Company to determine a customer's credit-worthiness when presenting an Account of the Company for purchase and sale. Furthermore, Porter Capital agrees to generally refrain from contacting the customers of the Company from whom it is buying Accounts, unless there is a breach or default under this Agreement or the Commercial Financing Agreement. It is acknowledged by the undersigned that as a result of Porter Capital's refraining from making credit inquiries, Porter Capital may be purchasing Accounts of the Company which fail to meet Porter Capital's normal underwriting requirements. As such, the undersigned agree(s) to purchase and Porter Capital agrees to sell any Account purchased by Porter Capital from the Company which has not been paid in full within 90 days from the date an invoice is mailed by Porter Capital to the account debtor/customer of Company and which cannot be charged back to the Company under the provisions of the Credit Financing Agreement. The purchase price for any Accounts sold by Porter Capital to the undersigned shall be the amount advanced by Porter Capital plus the discount fee charged by Porter Capital. The undersigned shall pay such purchase price for any sold Accounts to Porter Capital within three (3) days after oral or written demand by Porter Capital that an Account has been sold to the undersigned under the terms of this Agreement and that payment is due thereon.
6.  Rights are Independent - The Obligations of the undersigned are independent of the obligations of the Company under the Commercial Financing Agreement, and separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by Porter Capital against the undersigned whether or not the Company is joined in any such action or actions.
7.  Partnership or Association - If the Company is a partnership or other association, this Agreement shall be extended to and include, in addition to the undersigned, the person or persons for the time being and from time to time carrying on the business now conducted by the Company, notwithstanding any change or changes in the name, structure, and/or membership of the Company.
8.  Financial Condition of Company - The undersigned represent to Porter Capital that they are now and will be completely familiar with the business, operation, and overall economic condition of the Company and they hereby waive and relinquish any duty on the part of Porter Capital to disclose any matter, fact, or thing relating to the business, operation, or financial condition of the Company now known or hereafter known by Porter Capital.
9.  Guarantor's Direct Benefit - The undersigned hereby represent and warranty that it is in their direct economic interest to assist the Company because of the undersigned's position(s) in and/or economic relation(s) with the Company.
10.  Joint and Several Liability - All of the obligations of the undersigned (if more than one) hereunder shall be joint and several.
11.  Application of Payments - All moneys available to Porter Capital for application in payment or reduction of the Obligations may be applied by Porter Capital in such manner and in such amounts and at such time or times and in such order, priority and proportions as Porter Capital may see fit to the payment or reduction of such portion of the Obligations as Porter Capital may elect.
12.  Modifications and Extensions - The undersigned hereby consents that from time to time, before or after any default by Company, with notice to or assent from the undersigned, any security at any time held by or available to Porter Capital for any obligation of Company for all or any portion of the Obligations, may be exchanged, surrendered or released and any obligation of Company, may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived or released in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived, and may extend further credit in any manner whatsoever to Company, and generally deal with Company or any such security as Porter Capital may see fit; and the undersigned shall remain bound under this Guaranty notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver, inaction, extension of further credit or other dealings.
13.  Waiver of Notice - The undersigned hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance of this Performance Covenant and Waiver and Guaranty and notice of the making any advance by Porter Capital to Company under the Commercial Financing Agreement; (b) presentment and demand for payment of the Obligations or any portion thereof; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or default to the undersigned or to any other person or party with respect to the Obligations or any portion thereof; (d) all notices to which the undersigned might otherwise be entitled provided notice is given to the Company if required pursuant to the terms of the Commercial Financing Agreement and; (e) any demand for payment under this Guaranty.
28

 
Performance Covenant
 
14.  Guaranty of Payment - This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and the undersigned further waives any right to require that any action be brought against Company or any other person or party or to require that resort be had to any security.
15.  Successors and Assigns - Each reference herein to Porter Capital shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns, in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty shall also inure. Each reference herein to the undersigned shall be deemed to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty, provided, however, that the undersigned shall in no event or under any circumstance have the right, without obtaining the prior written consent of Porter Capital, to assign or transfer the undersigned's obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, to any other person, party or entity.
16.  Non-Waiver - - No delay on the part of Porter Capital in exercising any right or remedy under this Guaranty or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver in whole or in part of any such right or remedy. No notice to or demand on the undersigned shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of the undersigned or the right of the Porter Capital to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Guaranty.
17.  Further Modification - This Performance Covenant and Waiver may only be modified, amended, changed or terminated by an agreement in writing signed by Porter Capital and the undersigned. No waiver of any term, covenant or provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing by Porter Capital and if so given by Porter Capital shall only be effective in the specific instance in which given.
18.  Unconditional Guaranty - The undersigned acknowledges that this Performance Covenant and Guaranty and the undersigned's obligations under this Guaranty are and shall at all times continue to be absolute and unconditional in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty and the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, the Company) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of the undersigned thereunder or otherwise with respect to the Obligations. This Performance Covenant and Waiver sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of Porter Capital and the undersigned, and the undersigned absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any defense, set-off, counterclaim or cross claim of any nature whatsoever with respect this Guaranty or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, the Company) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of the undersigned hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Obligations in any action or proceeding brought by Porter Capital to collect the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty. The undersigned acknowledges that no oral or other agreements, understandings, representations or warranties exist with respect to the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty, except those specifically set forth in this Guaranty.
19.  No Jury Trial - The undersigned hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and Porter Capital by its acceptance of this Guaranty irrevocably and unconditionally waives, any and all right to trial by jury in any action, suit or counterclaim arising in connection with, out of or otherwise relating to this Guaranty.
20.  No Subrogation - Notwithstanding any payments made by the undersigned pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty, the undersigned shall have no right of subrogation in and to the Commercial Financing Agreement or any other security held by or available to Porter Capital for the Obligations or the payment thereof until the Obligations have been paid in full to Porter Capital.
21.  Governing Law - This Guaranty is, and shall be deemed to be, a contract entered into under and pursuant to the laws of the State of Alabama and shall be in all respects governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama. No defense given or allowed by the laws of any other state or country shall be interposed in any action or proceeding hereon unless such defense is also given or allowed by the laws of the State of Alabama. If a law, which applies to this Agreement and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the fees charged by Porter Capital to the undersigned or other charges collected or to be collected in connection with this Agreement or the Commercial Financing Agreement exceed the permitted limits under any applicable law or statute, then: (i) any such charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (ii) any sums already collected from the undersigned which exceeded permitted limits will be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of any sum owed by the Company.
29

 
Performance Covenant
 
22.  Jurisdiction - - All of the parties hereto agree to submit to personal jurisdiction and acknowledge they are doing business in the State of Alabama in any action or proceeding arising out of this Guaranty and, in furtherance of such agreement, they hereby agree and consent that without limiting other methods of obtaining jurisdiction, that personal jurisdiction in any such action or proceeding may be obtained within or without the jurisdiction of any court located in Alabama and that any process or notice or motion or other application to any such court in connection with any such action or proceeding may be served by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to or by personal service at their last known address whether such address be within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.
23.  Notices - - All notices, demands or requests (collectively, "Notice") made pursuant to, under or by virtue of this Guaranty must be in writing and sent to the party or parties to whom or to which such Notice is being sent, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, reputable overnight courier or delivered by hand with receipt acknowledged in writing to the addresses first hereinabove set forth. All notices (a) shall be deemed given when received in accordance herewith and (b) may be given either by a party or such party's attorneys.
24.  Severability - - In case any right of Porter Capital herein shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality and/or unenforceability shall not affect any other right granted hereby. When such interpretation is appropriate, any word denoting gender used herein shall include all persons, natural or artificial, and words used in the singular shall include the plural. The undersigned agree(s) that upon request from Porter Capital, it will, at its expense, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such additional instruments and further assurances and will do or cause to be done all such further acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to fully establish, confirm the intentions of this Agreement.

26.  Headings, Etc. - The headings, titles and captions of various paragraphs of this guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.

Exhibit “G”
MISDIRECTED PAYMENT
 
The Company and Edmond L. Lonergan and James C. Marshall (“CLIENT”) agrees to the following: Pursuant to the Commercial Finance Agreement of this date, CLIENT agrees that even though Porter Capital Corporation (“PCC”) and CLIENT shall use their joint best efforts to notify all customers/account debtors of CLIENT of the assignment by CLIENT to PCC of certain accounts, some payments may be sent directly to CLIENT which are the sole and exclusive property of PCC (i.e., payment on invoices financed by PCC). In such circumstances, CLIENT promises not to negotiate said check or other forms of payment, but to hold them in trust and safekeeping for the benefit of PCC and to turn over to PCC the exact form of payment received. That is, CLIENT agrees to turn over to PCC, immediately and in kind, any such check or other form of payment(s), which is the property of PCC. Further with respect thereto:
 
 
1.
CLIENT acknowledges that it has been notified by PCC of the potential civil or criminal liability or both for failure to fully comply herewith, that even the cashing, depositing and/or negotiation of any payment which is the property of PCC could result in civil and criminal liability or both and the penalties attendant thereto. Even if some employee of CLIENT negotiates such a check payment without CLIENT’s direct knowledge, CLIENT will be held liable for the acts of CLIENT’s employees, agents, and servants.
 
 
2.
CLIENT acknowledges that it has been notified by PCC that an indebtedness by CLIENT to PCC arising under circumstances as described herein above can constitute a debt which cannot be discharged in a Court of Bankruptcy, and that the conversion of check payments can be deemed an intentional act even though CLIENT did not specifically intend to take or convert said payments or damage PCC or both.
 
 
3.
CLIENT further acknowledges that it has been notified by PCC of handling procedures for any payments accepted via credit card for an outstanding invoice, shall be remitted to PCC the same day as credit card payment is accepted and CLIENT shall provide a copy of the receipt or bank transaction for said amount.
