RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Company is engaged in the pharmaceutical business and sells and delivers merchandise to customers on trade credit that generates accounts receivable;

 

WHEREAS, Company wishes to sell certain of its accounts receivable to obtain operating capital for its business and for other purposes; and

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser is willing to purchase certain of Company's accounts receivable according to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.       Purchase and Sale of Accounts Receivable.

 

(a)                 Company agrees to assign and sell to Purchaser as absolute owner (i) certain of its present and future Accounts Receivable (as defined in Section 1(b)), (ii) upon Purchaser's election all of Company's interest in the goods represented by the Accounts Receivable, including goods that may be returned by Company's customers ("Customers"), and (iii) all of its rights against third parties with respect to the Accounts Receivable. Purchaser agrees to purchase certain of the Accounts Receivable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The assignment and sale of the Accounts Receivable shall be further evidenced by an Assignment Agreement to be executed in connection with this Agreement.

 

(b)                "Accounts Receivable" means certain "accounts" (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the State of New York ("UCC")), contract rights, documents, notes, drafts, and other obligations owed to or owned by Company arising from the sale of goods or the rendering of services by Company in connection with the Accounts Receivable, all general intangibles, rights, warranties, indemnities, insurance benefits, and all other rights relating to these obligations, all proceeds of these obligations, all guaranties for these obligations, and, upon Purchaser's election, all goods represented by these obligations. The initial Accounts Receivable that are the subject of this Agreement are described on attached Exhibit A. The Customer with respect to the Accounts Receivables that are described on attached Exhibit A is Cardinal Health 105, Inc.

 

(c)                 "Future Accounts Receivable" means those accounts that may in the future be purchased by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Future Accounts Receivable that Purchaser agrees to purchase will be subject to the comparable terms and provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as Purchaser's purchase of the Accounts Receivable. If Purchaser notifies Company in writing that a purchase is approved with respect to Future Accounts Receivable, the related Future Accounts Receivable shall constitute an "Approved Receivable".

 

 

 

 

(d)               "Company Accounts" means all "accounts" of the Company.

 

(e)                "Maturity Date" means, with respect to any Accounts Receivable, the date on which such Accounts Receivable becomes due and payable as set forth in the applicable invoice.

 

2.       Dispute and Company Indemnity.

 

(a)                Upon the occurrence of any Dispute, upon Purchaser's election, the applicable Accounts Receivable shall automatically revert to Company. "Dispute" means any dispute, deduction, defense, claim, or counterclaim of any kind by a Customer against Company relating to goods or services giving rise to an Account Receivable.

 

(b)                Company acknowledges that Purchaser has not made, and does not make, any form of warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with the sale of goods, products or services related to any of the Accounts Receivable. Under no circumstances will Purchaser have any form of liability in any way associated with the goods, products and/or services rendered in connection with the Accounts Receivable.

 

(c)                Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, and Purchaser's respective officers, directors, employees, members, managers, representatives and agents (each, an "Indemnitee") in respect of any and all actions, suits, claims, agreements, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in all trial, appellate, bankruptcy and post-judgment proceedings), executions and demands whatsoever, whether same be liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or fixed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, whether same be at law or in equity, and whether or not well-founded in fact or in law, which any Indemnitee may be subjected to, incur or pay by reason of this Agreement or any matters pertaining to any of the Accounts Receivable (collectively, "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, Company shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

3.       Sales Giving Rise to Accounts Receivable.

 

(a)                Company shall provide Purchaser with a copy of each invoice and all other documentation with Customers that pertain to the Accounts Receivable.

 

(b)                Company shall provide each applicable Customer with written notice satisfactory to Purchaser that the Accounts Receivable have been sold and assigned to Purchaser and is payable to the DACA Account, as hereinafter defined.

 

(c)                If any Accounts Receivable are paid to Company, Company shall hold such remittances as Purchaser's property and shall immediately deliver them to Purchaser in the form in which they were received. Purchaser shall have the right to endorse Company's name on all such remittances.

 

(d)                Company shall maintain at its office complete and accurate records of all sales to Customers, including copies of invoices and shipping receipts. Such records shall reflect the sale of Accounts Receivable to Purchaser and Purchaser's ownership of Accounts Receivable. Such records shall be available for Purchaser's inspection on reasonable request.

4.       Purchaser's Payment for Accounts Receivable; True Up; Overage.

 

(a)       The "Purchase Price" for the Accounts Receivable is $1,032,000, which amount is derived by adding the gross amount of invoices 167 to 176, as reflected on attached Exhibit A, and multiplying such amount by 0.375 (i.e., providing for a 62.5% discount in the face value of such Accounts Receivable).

 

(b)       The Purchase Price for Future Accounts Receivable shall be calculated in the same manner as the Purchase Price described in Section 4(a) above.

 

(c)       The "Threshold Price" with respect to the Accounts Receivable evidenced by invoices 167 to 176 is $1,182,000 (which is a rounded number derived by multiplying the gross amount by 0.0545 and adding the result to the Purchase Price). The term "Shortfall" shall mean the amount equal to the Threshold Price minus amounts received by Purchaser for the Accounts Receivable. For example, if Purchaser receives $1,082,000 in connection with the Accounts Receivable by the Maturity Date, the Shortfall would be $100,000. In the event Purchaser does not receive the Threshold Price for all Accounts Receivable on or before the Maturity Date (which for the Accounts Receivable evidenced by invoices 167 to 176 shall be July 10, 2020), Company, upon Purchaser's election, will be obligated to either:

 

(i)                 pay the Shortfall to Purchaser within 30 days after Purchaser's written election; or

 

(ii)               assign and transfer to Purchaser "Shortfall Accounts" which shall mean Approved Receivables in an amount equal to the face amount of such Approved Receivables multiplied by 0.375, plus an amount equal to 25% of the Shortfall. For example, if the Shortfall is $100,000, Company, upon Purchaser's election, will assign to Purchaser Approved Receivables in the amount of $291,667 (i.e., Approved Receivables with a face amount of $266,667, plus $25,000). Under this example, any Overage as detailed in Section (d) below would equal any amount received on the Accounts Receivable and the Approved Receivables in excess of $125,000; or

 

(iii)             reach an agreement with Company to purchase Approved Receivables for a purchase price in the manner as calculated in accordance with Section 4(a) above, minus an amount equal to the Shortfall multiplied by 1.25. For example, if Purchaser and Company agree upon Acceptable Receivables with a face amount of $1,000,000, then Purchaser would pay to Company the sum of $275,000 as the purchase price for such Approved Receivables (calculated as follows: $1,000,000 multiplied by 0.375, resulting in an amount equal to $375,000, minus $125,000, resulting in an amount equal to $250,000). In the event the parties reach an agreement as detailed in this subsection (iii), the parties will amend this Agreement to address the purchase of Approved Receivables, which would provide for, among other provisions, that Purchaser's receipt of any Approved Receivables would be applied first to any Shortfall plus the 25% margin as described herein, then towards the Threshold Amount established for the new Approved Receivables in the manner as calculated in this Agreement.

 

(d)       In the event Purchaser receives more than the Threshold Price from collection on the Accounts Receivable, then Purchaser will return any such excess overage amount ("Overage") to Company within 5 days after Purchaser's receipt thereof. In the event Company collects such Accounts Receivable on behalf of Purchaser, then Company will be entitled to retain any such overage amount.

5.       Transaction Fee. Company agrees to pay to Purchaser $25,000 as a transaction fee, a portion of which may be applied by Purchaser for the fees and costs of preparation of this Agreement and documents executed in connection herewith and other transaction costs related to this Agreement. Company agrees that Purchaser may deduct this transaction fee from the Purchase Price to be paid to Company. Purchaser shall also have the right to charge additional transaction fees in connection with any True Up and any other Approved Receivable, not to exceed $5,000 per incident.

 

6.       Collection and Servicing.

 

(a)                Purchaser hereby appoints Company to be its agent and servicer for monitoring and collecting the Accounts Receivable subject to the terms of this Agreement. Company shall perform its duties in a commercially reasonable manner and agrees that Company will not commence any legal action with respect to such servicing and collection efforts and shall not terminate, discharge, discount or write off any Accounts Receivable without Purchaser's prior written consent.

 

(b)                In connection with this Agreement, Purchaser and Company intend on executing and delivering a certain Deposit Account Control Agreement with Western Alliance Bank and to create a deposit account in connection therewith (the "DACA Account"). Purchaser will instruct the Customers to coordinate payments directly to the DACA Account. Company acknowledges that the indemnification set forth in Section 2(c) of this Agreement will cover any actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses that Purchaser may incur in connection with such Deposit Account Control Agreement. Company will use its best efforts to provide a fully executed Deposit Account Control Agreement and open the DACA Account on or before May 20, 2020.

 

7.       Company's Account; Monthly Statements; Reserves. Purchaser shall maintain on its books and records a record of Purchaser's transactions with Company and its Customers under this Agreement ("Company's Records"). Company's Records shall include, without limitation:

 

(a)                the amount of Accounts Receivable assigned to Purchaser and the outstanding balance thereof on an invoice-by-invoice basis;

 

(b)                a record of Customer activity in respect of Accounts Receivable and Company Accounts, including aging of unpaid Accounts Receivable, payment history, Disputes, returns, and discounts and allowances claimed by, and granted to, Customers;

(c)                all other credits and debits under this Agreement; and

 

(d)                such other Company Records pertaining to the Accounts Receivable and/or Future Accounts Receivable as reasonably requested by Purchaser.

 

8.       Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. Company represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and as of the date of assignment and sale of each Approved Receivable to Purchaser, and covenants to Purchaser that:

 

(a)                All Accounts Receivable are, and as of the time of assignment and sale to Purchaser, will be (i) bona fide obligations of Customers arising out of the sale of goods or the rendering of services in the ordinary course of busines*Lmsii, (ii) owned by Company, and (iii) without any Dispute.

(b)                Company is, and will remain during the term of this Agreement, (i) duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and (ii) duly authorized to carry on its business, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Company's execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement does not and will not breach any other agreement to which it is a party, and does not require the consent of any third party, other than Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. who is required to release its security interest in the Accounts Receivable. Company is now solvent, and will remain solvent at all times during the term of this Agreement. Company shall not change the general character of its business as conducted on the date hereof.

 

(c)                Company shall promptly notify Purchaser of any Dispute. Company shall, upon providing Purchaser with at least 10 days' prior written notice, settle all Disputes at its own expense, including attorneys' fees and costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not settle any such Dispute that might otherwise have an adverse impact on Purchaser or on collection of the full amount of the Accounts Receivable without Purchaser's prior written consent. If any Dispute is not settled by Company within 60 days after maturity of the invoice, or within any shorter period specified by Purchaser, Purchaser in its sole discretion may pursue collection and/or litigate such Dispute, or may settle or compromise such Dispute in Company's name and for Company's account on such terms as Purchaser deems reasonable.

 

(d)                Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(b), the Accounts Receivable are not subject to any prior assignment, claim, defense, counterclaim, right of setoff, discount, lien or security interest, and Company will not make any further sale or assignment thereof or create any security interest or lien therein, nor permit its rights therein to be reached by attachment, levy, garnishment or other judicial process. Company acknowledges that it has no right to, and shall not, assign, factor, sell, pledge, encumber, or convey all or any part of the Accounts Receivable, or any interest therein.

 

(e)                Other than what has been publicly disclosed, there is no material litigation involving Company or pending against Company, or to the knowledge of Company threatened, before any court or governmental authority, agency or arbitration authority which would jeopardize the Company or the Accounts Receivable. To the knowledge of Company, there is no material litigation involving or pending against any of the Customers before any court or governmental authority, agency or arbitration authority which would jeopardize or impair Purchaser's ability to receive payment in full with respect to the Accounts Receivable. Company has no knowledge of any events, occurrences or developments, that, have, or after the passage of time could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, any material adverse effect or impact upon Company, or any of the Customers, or that might otherwise jeopardize or impair Purchaser's ability to receive payment in full in connection with the Accounts Receivable.

 

(f)                 Company will at all times keep accurate and complete records and accounts concerning all Accounts Receivable and Company Accounts, and will submit to Purchaser, in form normally maintained by Company as of the date hereof, at such times as Purchaser may require, reconciliations of Accounts Receivable which set forth the total amount due with respect to the Accounts Receivable. Company shall deliver to Purchaser at Purchaser's request, no later than the 15th day of each month during the term of this Agreement, a detailed aging of the Accounts Receivable. Company has maintained, and will continue to maintain, its books and records in accordance with commercially reasonable business practices.

 

(g)                Purchaser, or any of its agents, shall have the right to call at Company's place or places of business at intervals to be determined by Purchaser, and without hindrance or delay upon reasonable prior notice, to inspect, audit, check and make extracts from the books, records, journals, orders, receipts, correspondence and other data relating to the Company Accounts and the Accounts Receivable.

(h)             No notice of the bankruptcy, insolvency or financial embarrassment of any Customer of the Accounts Receivable has been received (upon Company's receipt of any such notice, it will immediately give Purchaser written advice thereof).

 

(i)               Company shall defend the title to the Accounts Receivable against all persons and against all claims and demands whatsoever and shall keep the Accounts Receivable free and clear of any and all liens, claims, charges, rights of setoff, encumbrances, taxes and assessments. Company shall not have the right to terminate, discharge, discount or write off any Accounts Receivable without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

 

(j)               Company shall not take any action in connection with the Accounts Receivable which would impair the value of the interest or rights of Purchaser thereunder or which would impair the interest or rights of Purchaser arising as the result of this Agreement.

(1)       Except to the extent permitted under Section 12(j), any public filing, release or announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall require Purchaser's prior written consent.

 

(m)       From time to time, at Company's expense, Company will, subject to existing law, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, conveyances and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Purchaser may request, in order to perfect and protect the sale, transfers and assignment of the Accounts Receivable or to enable Purchaser to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Accounts Receivable. Company shall fully cooperate in correcting any errors or omissions in this Agreement, and any other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, if deemed necessary or desirable by Purchaser.
