Avalon has purchased said receivables, acting for its own account and has advanced the necessary funds to purchase said accounts, pursuant to the Avalon Schedule of Accounts, which has been entered into concurrently with this Assignment.

Proceeds from the payment of any or all of said accounts receivable shall be paid to Avalon with payment applied to principal and discounts earned on the accounts purchased by Avalon for itself, or on behalf of its investor(s), with the balance, if any, to be rebated to SELLER.

SELLER shall and does assign, sell and transfer all of its rights, title and interest in all of the Accounts Receivable sold and assigned to PURCHASER, as evidenced by the issuance and execution by SELLER of FORM UCC-1, Financing Statement, which represents a security interest in said Accounts Receivable; further concurrent with the execution of this Assignment, Avalon shall have the right to issue a FORM UCC-3, Statement of Continuation, Partial Release and Assignment, which represents the Assignment of said security interest to its investor(s) and/or creditors, whenever applicable.

SELLER [ASSIGNOR] hereby acknowledges and agrees that Avalon's agreement to purchase its Accounts Receivable and transfer funds therefore is specifically dependent upon Assignor's agreements, promises and commitments, as follows:

To not, in any way or under any circumstances, convert the proceeds of the Accounts Receivable sold and assigned pursuant to the Avalon Schedule of Accounts referenced hereinabove, and the Accounts Receivable sold and assigned hereby, to its own use or any other use;

To immediately forward to Avalon, i.e. ASSIGNEE, any and all payments from Account Debtors or agents of said Debtors, taking no deductions there from, when such payments come into Seller's possession.

It is understood that any willful action on the part of SELLER which is not in full compliance with the "Avalon ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE PURCHASE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT," entered into by and between SELLER and PURCHASER, and the Schedule of Accounts to which this ASSIGNMENT applies, shall be deemed by SELLER and PURCHASER to be fraud in the inducement of said Agreements.

Moreover, SELLER hereby further agrees that any acts specified herein which would constitute such fraud in the inducement would make any resulting debt owed by SELLER to PURCHASER non-dischargeable in any Bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to 11 UCC SS523.

SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE FOLLOWING:

1. A copy of this Assignment shall serve as notice to DEBTOR(s) obligated to pay the Account(s) Receivable set forth herein, that payment of said Account(s) must (and can only) be fulfilled by making payment directly to Avalon (with the payment instrument being made jointly payable to both SELLER and Avalon), mailed or delivered to:

2. All original checks, drafts, notes, letters of credit, acceptances and other proceeds of the Accounts, received by the Seller, will be held in trust for you and will immediately be forwarded to you upon receipt, in kind, in accordance with the terms of the Agreements.

3. None of the Accounts are or will be the subject of any offsets, defenses or counterclaims of any nature whatsoever and Seller will not in any way impede or interfere with the normal collection and payment of the Accounts.

7. Seller will promptly report to you all disputes, rejections, returns and resales of Sold Goods and all credits allowed by the Seller upon all Accounts.

Michael J. Sullivan Communications 4830 Sorento Road

Sacramento, CA 95835

Dear Michael J. Sullivan,

Avalon Funding Corporation ("Avalon") hereby proposes to enter into an agreement to provide accounts receivable finance to Michael J. Sullivan Communications ("Seller"). This letter is not meant to be, nor shall it be construed as, an attempt to define all the terms and conditions pertaining to the proposed accounts receivable purchase line, which terms and conditions would be contained in a separate Accounts Receivable Purchase & Security Agreement ("Agreement") which would be executed by the parties hereto.

The following is a summary of the key business points proposed:

Amount of Line:

$350,000.00

Advance Rate:

Accounts Receivable advances not to exceed 80% of the eligible gross receivables less than 60 days from date of invoice.

Rate:

Fees for factoring are calculated by discounting the face amount (invoice amount) of each invoice. These charges are calculated from the date Avalon advances funds on an invoice to the date Avalon receives payment on the invoice. The fees would be as follows:

Invoices collected within 1-30 days of Avalon's purchase = 3.5% (of the invoice amount).

Invoices collected after 30 days will be charged an additional .001166 each day thereafter until the invoice is paid in full. This fee applies to factored accounts receivable only.

Maintenance Fee:

An additional maintenance fee of .0035 of the invoice amount will be added to the above factoring fee. This fee covers the additional expenses associated with services accounts and progress billings. Including, but not limited to, 24/7 real time access to your daily/monthly account funding activity, free D&B Credit Reports, special handling requirements associated with your invoice verification, postage, etc.


1 \|	P a g e

Covenants:

Customary, including but not limited to the following:

a)	Facility shall be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted to any other obligations Seller may have now or in the future with Avalon, its subsidiaries or affiliates; and

b)	Proof of services rendered shall accompany all accounts receivable provided by Seller to Avalon.

Guarantors:

Avalon will NOT require a personal guarantee; however we will require a Validity Guarantee. This guarantee will not permit Avalon to pierce the corporate vale unless Avalon suffers a direct loss associated with the intentional misrepresentation of facts or by fraud of the client.

Collateral:

Avalon shall have a UCC-1 first priority security interest in assets of the Seller's business.

Application Fee:

A non-refundable processing and due diligence fee of $750 will be charged to cover expenses associated with the, D&B Credit Report, title reports, personal credit, notary fees, recording and filing fees, corporate searches, UCC searches express mail, etc.

Term:

12 months.

Early Term. Fee:

If the agreement is terminated by Seller, Seller shall pay Avalon a termination fee of N/A of the total credit line per month for the remaining Term.

Remittance:

Seller shall direct the factored customers to remit all payments to a lockbox designated by Avalon. All unfactored payments received by Avalon shall be forwarded to Seller the day after the funds have cleared the bank.

Reserve:

Invoice reserves are eligible for release two business days after the check has been received by Avalon (unless disclosed otherwise by Avalon). Reserves are released to the Seller at no charge each Friday. Should Seller request available reserves to be release prior to the coming Friday, a $25 dollar fee (wire fee) will be applied to each reserve wire.

Verification:

Standard Avalon verification of invoices. Some invoices may require the account debtor (your customer) to sign a written approval and acceptance of the product and pricing prior to funding by Avalon. See "Exhibit B"


2 \|	P a g e

This letter is for discussion purposes only and does not represent a commitment of any nature by Avalon to provide financing. It is provided to you solely for the purpose described herein, and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by any other party without Avalon's prior written consent. This proposal shall expire one week from the date of issuance.

If the terms and conditions described above are acceptable, please so indicate by signing below and returning the signed proposal to Avalon.
