ANNEX A – STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Standard Terms and Conditions are incorporated in and form a part of the Receivables Purchase Agreement between the Client identified in the Term Sheet and WFC Fund LLC, as Factor.

Article 1

SALE AND PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES

1.1

Sale and Purchase.

(a) Client agrees to assign and sell to Factor, as absolute owner, all of Client’s right, title, and interest in (i) all of its present and future Receivables, (ii) all books and records relating the Receivables, (iii) all deposits or other security for the obligation of any person relating to the Receivables, (iv) all goods relating to the Receivables, including goods returned by a Customer, (v) all rights against third parties with respect to the Receivables, and (vi) all proceeds of the foregoing.

(b) Factor may purchase such Receivables from Client as Factor determines are Eligible Receivables so long as, at any time, the total outstanding Face Amount of all Purchased Receivables does not exceed the Facility Limit. Factor may decline to purchase any Receivable.

(c) Upon Factor’s acceptance of a Receivable for assignment and sale, the Receivable will be deemed sold by Client and purchased by Factor, as absolute owner, without further action or documentation.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 1.4 of this Agreement, all purchases of Eligible Receivables will be without recourse to Client. Upon purchase of an Eligible Receivable, Factor assumes the Credit Risk for such Eligible Receivable but not the risk of non-payment for any other reason.

1.2

Purchase Price. Factor shall pay for each Receivable purchased from Client the Purchase Price as follows:

(a) On the Purchase Date, Factor shall pay to Client, by crediting the Client Account, an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Receivable multiplied by the Advance Rate.

(b) After collection of the Receivable by Factor, Factor shall pay to Client, by crediting the Client Account, the unpaid balance of the Purchase Price minus any Collection Charges and any fees or expenses owed to Factor.

1.3 Reserve. Factor shall be entitled to withhold a Reserve from the payment of any amount owed to Client, and may revise the Reserve at any time and from time to time if Factor deems it necessary to do so in order to protect Factor’s interests. Factor may charge against the Reserve any amount for which Client may be obligated to Factor at any time, whether under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise, including the payment of any Repurchase Price, any adjustments due, all Obligations and any attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements due. Client recognizes that the Reserve represents bookkeeping entries only and not cash funds. With respect to the balance in the Reserve, Factor is authorized to withhold, without giving prior notice to Client, such payments and credits otherwise due to Client under the terms of this Agreement for reasonably anticipated claims or to adequately satisfy reasonably anticipated obligations Client may owe Factor.

1.4

Disputes and Repurchase.

(a) Client shall immediately notify Factor in writing of any dispute between Client and a Customer concerning a Purchased Receivable. Factor may settle any Dispute with a Customer though Factor has no obligation to do so. Any settlement will not relieve Client of any Obligation (including the obligation to pay the Repurchase Price) under this Agreement.

(b) If a Dispute occurs with respect to a Purchased Receivable, then Client shall immediately repurchase the Purchased Receivable from Factor by paying the Repurchase Price to Factor.

(c) If a Purchased Receivable remains unpaid beyond the Maximum Term for any reason other than Credit Risk, then Client shall immediately repurchase the Purchased Receivable from Factor by paying the Repurchase Price to Factor.

(d) In addition and without limiting Sections 1.4(b) or 1.4(c), upon Factor’s demand, Client shall immediately repurchase a Purchased Receivable by paying the Repurchase Price to Factor if (i) Client fails to timely deliver to Factor an assignment schedule for the Eligible Receivable together with copies of the assigned invoices and such other information or documents as reasonably requested by Factor, (ii) any representation or warranty made by Client with respect to the Eligible Receivable is untrue, incorrect, or misleading at any time, (iii) any agreement made by Client under this Agreement with respect to the Eligible Receivable is breached, (iv) Client is required to repurchase the Eligible Receivable under this Agreement, or (iv) Client terminates this Agreement.

Article 2

COLLECTIONS AND PAYMENTS

2.1

Collections.

(a) Factor hereby appoints Client as Factor’s agent for the purpose of collecting the Receivables and Client hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform all necessary and appropriate commercial collection activities in arranging the timely payment of amounts due under a Receivable with reasonable care and diligence. Client shall instruct all Customers to make payments on Receivables to Client at the address or bank account specified by Factor. Client shall not grant or approve any credit, discount, allowance, negotiated term or deduction with respect to any account without Factor’s prior written consent.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or as otherwise determined by Factor at any time, Factor may notify all Customers of the assignment of the Eligible Receivables and instruct the Customer to make payments directly to Factor and terminate Client’s authority to collect the Receivables Following such termination of Client’s authority to collect the Receivables:

(1) Factor will have the exclusive right to collect any and all Receivables (whether or not purchased by Factor) and receive payments on the Receivables. Client shall not attempt to collect or interfere in any manner with the collection of any Receivables. Client shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Factor in collection of the Receivables.

(2) Factor shall make a good faith, commercially reasonable effort to collect the Purchased Receivables. The collection of Receivables in a commercially reasonable manner does not require Factor to commence any legal action, including the sending of an attorney’s demand letter, to collect any Receivable. Client hereby waives and releases any and all claims relating to or arising out of any act or omission by Factor in the collection of the Purchased Receivables.

(c) In the event a Customer makes payment to Client on a Purchased Receivable other than at the address or bank account specified by Factor, Client shall immediately deliver the payment to Factor in the form received. Any payments received by Client on Purchased Receivables shall be held in trust by Client for Factor.

(d) Upon Factor’s request, Client will cause all payments on all Receivables, whether or not Purchased Receivables, to be sent directly to such address as may be designated by Factor. Factor is authorized to receive and open all such payments and retain such amounts as are owing to Factor. Upon Factor’s request, Client will tender to Factor all payments received by Client from a Customer on Receivables created after Client begins offering any Receivables of that Customer to Factor for purchase. Upon such request being made, all such payments received by Client shall be the sole and exclusive property of Factor and shall be held in trust by Client for Factor. All such payments shall be applied on obligations of that Customer to Factor. In the event Factor receives any payment from a Customer on a Receivable which is not a Purchased Receivable, Factor may, subject to any rights of the Customer, apply such payment to any other Obligation of Client owing to Factor.

(e) Once Factor purchases a Receivable, any and all payments from the Customer on the Receivable are the sole property of Factor.

(f) If Factor receives payment on a Receivable that Factor did not purchase, so long as no Default Period exists, Factor will credit the payment to the Client Account.

2.2 Authorization by Client. Client hereby grants to Factor an irrevocable power of attorney authorizing and permitting Factor, at its option, without notice to Client to do any or all of the following: (a) endorse the name of Client on any checks or other evidences of payment whatsoever that may come into the possession of Factor regarding Accounts or Collateral, including checks received by Factor; (b) receive, open and dispose of any mail addressed to Client and put Factor’s address on any statements mailed to Customers; (c) pay, settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim, conditional waiver and release, or proceeding relating to Receivables or Collateral; (d) during a Default Period, notify in the name of the Client, the U.S. Post Office to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to Client to such address as Factor may designate, however, Factor shall turn over to Client all such mail not relating to Receivables or Collateral; (e) file any financing statement deemed necessary or appropriate by Factor to protect Factor’s interest in and to the Receivables or Collateral, or under any provision of this Agreement; (f) effect debits to any deposit account or other account that Client or Client’s principals who have executed a guaranty agreement maintain at any bank for any sums due to or from the Client under this Agreement; (g) during a Default Period, to prepare and mail all invoices relating to Receivables; and (h) to take all actions necessary and proper in order to carry out this Agreement. The authority granted to Factor herein is irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and all Obligations are fully satisfied.

2.3

Administration.

(a) Factor shall record all debits, credits, and other entries for all transactions between Client and Factor, including purchases of Eligible Receivables, Purchase Price payments, collections of Receivables, changes to the Reserve, and charges of discount, costs, fees, expenses, and other Obligations. Factor will make available to Client a website or other statement for Client to review the transactions. Each statement will be considered and binding on Client absent manifest error.

(b) Client shall, upon sale of any Receivables to Factor, make proper entries on its books and records disclosing the sale of those Receivables to Factor.

(c) Client unconditionally promises to pay to Factor all Obligations, as and when due, without deduction or setoff, regardless of any defense or counterclaim, in accordance with this Agreement. Client hereby irrevocably authorizes Factor, from time to time and without prior notice to Client, to charge all Obligations, including, without limitation, the amount of any Repurchase Price, all discount, costs, fees, expenses and other charges payable by Client hereunder or under any of the Related Agreements, to the Client Account maintained by Factor.

(d) Factor will credit the Client Account in the amount of the Proceeds of any Receivable three Business Days after Factor receives payment for such Receivable. So long as no Default Period exists, at Client’s written request, subject to Factor’s right to withhold Reserves, any credit balance in the Client Account shall be released to the Client. During a Default Period, Factor may hold any credit balance in the Client Account as a Reserve or as additional Collateral for the Obligations. Should the Client Account at any time have a deficit balance, Client shall immediately pay to Factor the amount of such deficit plus accrued interest thereon at the Default Rate.

2.4

Payments Generally.

(a) If any date on which a payment is due falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next Business Day, and fees shall continue to accrue during that time period.

(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Client under any Related Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, or, if required by Applicable Law, shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made Factor receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Client shall indemnify Factor, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (other than income and franchise taxes owing by Factor) payable or paid by Factor or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Factor and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Client shall timely pay all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a Lien under, or otherwise with respect to, any Related Agreement.

Article 3

FEES AND CHARGES

3.1 Invoice Fees. Client shall pay Factor a fee equal to the Invoice Fee Rate multiplied by the face amount of each Purchased Receivable (the “Invoice Fee”). The Invoice Fee shall be fully earned by Factor for the services of reconciling invoices and providing the Platform and payable monthly in arrears on the Payment Day of each calendar month.

3.2 Wire Fee. If Client elects to be paid by wire transfer, Factor will charge a fee in the amount of the Wire Transfer Fee indicated on the Term Sheet for each wire transfer.

If any Purchased Receivable remains unpaid after its Due Date for any reason other than Credit Risk, Client shall pay to Factor a fee equal to the Face Amount of the Purchased Receivable multiplied by the Discount Rate, calculated for each day the Purchased Receivable remains unpaid after its Due Date (the “Late Collection Charge”).

3.4 Default Fee. During a Default Period or at any time following the Termination Date, as applicable, in Factor’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights or remedies, a Default Fee shall accrue on the daily net balance of outstanding Obligations at an annual rate equal to the 15% (the “Default Fee”) or any lesser rate that Factor may deem appropriate, starting on the day the Default Period begins through the last day of that Default Period.

3.5 Nonrecourse Sale of Receivables (THIS IS NOT A LOAN). Client is selling Receivables to Factor at a discount, not borrowing money from Factor. There is no interest rate and Factor is assuming the Credit Risk of the Receivables. Client shall not account for the transactions contemplated in this Agreement in any manner other than as a sale of Receivables. Client will not retain any interest in any Receivable sold hereunder and each sale of a Receivable shall be of all of Client’s right, title and interest in such sold Receivable.

SECURITY AGREEMENT

5.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure payment and performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, but not the Credit Risk of the Receivables, Client hereby grants to Factor a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, wherever located, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.

5.2

Perfection of Security Interest and Further Assurances.

(a) Client shall, from time to time, as may be required by Factor with respect to all Collateral, promptly take all actions as may be reasonably requested by Factor to perfect the Lien of Factor in the Collateral, including, with respect to all Collateral over which control may be obtained within the meaning of sections 8-106, 9- 104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC, section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and, as the case may be, section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as applicable, Client shall promptly take all actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Factor so that control of such Collateral is obtained and at all times held by Factor. All of the foregoing shall be at Client’s sole cost and expense.

(b) Client hereby irrevocably authorizes Factor at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment relating to the Collateral, including any financing or continuation statements or other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Lien granted by Client hereunder, without Client’s signature where permitted by law, including the filing of a financing statement describing the Collateral. Client agrees to provide all information required by Factor pursuant to this Section promptly to Factor upon request.

(c) Client agrees that at any time and from time to time, at Client’s expense, Client will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, obtain such agreements from third parties, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Factor may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any Lien granted hereby or to enable Factor to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any other agreement with respect to any Collateral.

5.3 Reasonable Care. Factor shall have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care. Factor shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Factor accords its own property, it being understood that Factor shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to any claims, the nature or sufficiency of any payment or performance by any party under or pursuant to any agreement relating to the Collateral or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Factor has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by Factor of any of its rights and remedies will relieve Client from the performance of any obligation on Client’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral.

5.4 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Factor and Liens hereunder, and all Obligations of Client hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Obligation or any related agreement or instrument; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Related Agreements, including any increase in the Obligations; (c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Obligations; (e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; (f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, Client against Factor; or (g) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Receivables or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Factor that might vary the risk of Client or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Client or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.

9.5 Sales of Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under Applicable Law, written notice mailed to Client at least 10 days prior to the date of such disposition will constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner shall be sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, Factor may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser as Factor in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any Credit Risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under Applicable Law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by Applicable Law, Factor may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Client waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Factor arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. Client hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, Factor or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither Factor nor any custodian shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto.

9.6 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Factor to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Client acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Factor (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Factor to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Client, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to decline to provide credit to any potential purchaser of the Collateral in connection with Factor’s disposition of the Collateral, (k) to disclaim disposition warranties, (l) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Factor against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Factor a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (m) to the extent deemed appropriate by Factor, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Factor in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Client acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Factor would satisfy Factor’s duties under the UCC in Factor’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Factor shall not be deemed to fail to satisfy such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Client or to impose any duties on Factor that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section.

Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding.

THIS IS CALLED THE “CLASS ACTION WAIVER.”

Arbitration will be conducted by and under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (www.adr.org), or any other arbitration organization you choose, subject to our approval. Client may obtain AAA rules by visiting the website.

Arbitrators will be attorneys or retired judges and must be selected pursuant to the applicable rules of the chosen arbitration organization. The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law and the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration hearing must be conducted in the federal district in which Client is located, or at some other location convenient to Client. Each party will be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law.

Client retains the right to sue on an individual basis in small claims court for a Dispute within that court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. Neither Client nor Factor waive the right to arbitrate by filing suit. Factor does not waive our right to arbitrate by seeking non-judicial recovery of any collateral securing this Agreement.

The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on all parties, subject to any right of appeal available under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any court within jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. This Arbitration Clause shall survive any termination, payoff or assignment of the Agreement. If any part of this Arbitration Clause, other than the class action waiver, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder is enforceable. If the class action waiver is deemed or found to be unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Clause will be unenforceable.

Client may opt out of this Arbitration Clause by doing so in writing to the following address and sent by registered mail, postmarked no later than 10 days from the date Client signs this Agreement: [address].
