1.  Purpose of Agreement. Company desires to obtain short-term financing by selling, transferring, setting over and assigning to Porter Capital certain accounts receivable and invoices held by Company in return for making a Line of Credit available to Company.

 

2.  Definitions.

 

2.1  "Account Receivable" shall mean any right to payment from Customers for goods sold, or leased, and deliv­ered, or services rendered, which is not evidenced by an instrument or chattel paper.

 

 

3.  Tender of Accounts Receivable; Invoices.

 

 

4.   Assignment.  Those Accounts Receivable which Porter Capital elects to purchase from the Company shall be listed in an "Invoice Delivery Schedule" (such form, together with any schedules and attachments thereto is hereinafter r­eferred to as an "Invoice Schedule"), executed by the Company and accepted by Porter Capital f­rom time to time throughout the term of this Agreement.  Upon acceptance by Porter Capital of an Invoice S­chedule, the Company shall have been deemed to have sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to Porter Capital, and Porter Capital shall be deemed to have purchased and received from the Company, all right, title, and interest of the Company in and to the Accounts Receivable listed on the Invoice Schedule, subject to Porter Capital’s obligations under section 5.2 hereof as to the application of proceeds collected on such Accounts Receivables. Upon the assignment of an Account Receivable, Porter Capital shall have all of the rights of an unpaid seller of any goods, the sale of which gives rise to each Account Receivable, including the right of stoppage in transit, reclamation and replevin.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or Porter Capital fails to include in any Invoice Schedule a particular Account Receivable tendered by the Company to Porter Capital, but Porter Capital nonetheless includes such Account Receivable in the Available Advance Amount, then Porter Capital shall be presumed conclusively to have purchased, and the Company shall be presumed conclusively to have sold, such Account Receivable pursuant to this Agreement, and such Account Receivable shall be governed by the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the Company's representations and warranties to Porter Capital) of this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that Porter Capital is not assuming any of the responsibilities or obligations of Company under such Accounts Receivable but that it is simply taking an assignment of the right to be paid on such Accounts Receivable which Company has fulfilled in the ordinary course of its business operations.  It is also understood and agreed that Porter Capital will have no obligation whatsoever to buy any Accounts Receivable from the Company at any time.

 

The sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of Accounts Receivable by the Company to Porter Capital is without recourse such that the Company shall have no liability with respect to the payment of such Accounts Receivable to Porter Capital or any other party, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to release, compromise, modify or waive the Company’s obligation to pay the Obligations under this Agreement.

 

5.  Purchase Price, Allocation of Collections.

 

 

 

 

6.  Collection of Accounts Receivable.   Commencing on the date of this Agreement, Porter Capital shall administer the collection of all Accounts Receivable originated by the Company and shall forward an Aged Accounts Receivable Schedule to the Company weekly.   Porter Capital shall have the right of endorsement on all payments received in connection with each Account Receivable and the Company hereby appoints Porter Capital the attorney-in-fact and agent of the Company for this purpose, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.   Porter Capital shall have no liability to the Company for any mistake in the application of any payment received by it with respect to any Account Receivable, so long as it acts in good faith without gross negligence.

 

7.  Cross-Collateralization.  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, subject to the terms of the intercreditor agreement between Porter Capital and Avnet, Inc., 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 Obligations; (ii) to the payment of all fees accrued hereunder, 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 “Mortgage”, 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 amount of the outstanding Obligations shall be less than the Available  Advance Amount, 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.  An Over-Advance is defined as the amount the Obligations are in excess of the current Available Advance Amount.  Upon the establishment of each such Over-Advance amount at the Company’s request, or upon the establishment of an Over-Advance amount due to a reduction of the Available Advance Amount and the continuance of such Over-Advance for a period of five days, Porter Capital, in its sole judgment, shall have the right to charge the Company a one-time processing and administrative fee of up to three percent of each such amount so established as an Over-Advance.   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.  Additional interest shall accrue on the outstanding Over-Advance balance at the rate of two percent per month. In the event that Porter Capital terminates the Over-Advance or does not consent to the Over-Advance in the first instance, the  Company shall immediately make a payment to Porter Capital in the amount necessary to eliminate the Over-Advance.

 

9.  Collection of Accounts Receivable.

 

 

 

 

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 three (3) 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 three (3) business days.  If the Company fails to deliver such value within said three (3) 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.

 

 

 

 

10.  Payment of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnification.  The Company will (a) pay or reimburse Porter Capital for all of Porter Capital's out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to Porter Capital, (b) pay or reimburse Porter Capital for all costs and expenses actually incurred by Porter Capital and paid by Porter Capital in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Transaction Documents, and the verification of the Accounts Receivable and the credit worthiness of the Customers, including without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel to Porter Capital; (c) pay, indemnify, and hold Porter Capital harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying any stamp, excise, and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Transaction Documents; (d) pay for monthly statements at $0.73 each plus all postage expended by Porter Capital to mail invoices and otherwise collect the accounts; (e) pay the fees and interest set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part thereof; (f) pay for field examinations at the rate of eight hundred fifty dollars per person per day plus expenses; (g) pay, indemnify and hold Porter Capital harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, potential losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether threatened, pending or determined (including attorney's fees and court costs now or hereafter arising from this Agreement or any activities of the Company (referred to as the "indemnified liabilities"); provided that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to Porter Capital with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Porter Capital.  The covenants of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(d)  Porter Capital shall not be liable to the Company or Accommodation Company for any agents' or brokers' fees incurred in connection with the sale of the Collateral.

 

7.  Uniform Commercial Code.  The UCC of the State of Alabama shall govern the rights, duties and remedies of the parties and any provisions herein declared invalid under any law shall not invalidate any other provisions of this Agreement.  The Company and Accommodation Company hereby authorizes Porter Capital or its agents or assigns to sign and execute on the Company's or Accommodation Company’s  behalf any and all necessary UCC-1 forms to perfect the Security Agreement interest herein above granted to Porter Capital.

 

8.  No Offsets.  The Company and Accommodation Company covenant and warrant that it is now the owner of the Collateral and that there are no defenses or offsets to this Agreement or to the Performance Covenant which it secures.

11.  Reimbursement - The Company and Accommodation Company agree that, with or without notice or demand, it will reimburse Porter Capital, for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Porter Capital in connection with the collection of the Obligations or any portion thereof or in any action or proceeding brought by Porter Capital to enforce the obligations of the Company and Accommodation Company under this Agreement.    Porter Capital shall have the right but not the obligation to examine the Company's and Accommodation Company’s books and records at any time during reasonable business hours once per quarter, the expense of such field examination to be charged against the Company.  In the event of a default under this agreement, Porter Capital shall have the right to examine the Company's and Accommodation Company’s books once a  month and the Company and Accommodation Company shall pay for this expense.

 

12.  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.

 

13.  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 Company or the Accommodation Company shall be deemed to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Company or the Accommodation Company, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that the Company or Accommodation Company 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 Company's or Accommodation Company’s obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any other person, party or entity.

 

14.  Non-Waiver - No delay on the part of Porter Capital in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement 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 Company or Accommodation Company shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of the Company or Accommodation Company or the right of Porter Capital to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

15.  Further Modification - This Agreement may only be modified, amended, changed or terminated by an agreement in writing signed by Porter Capital and the Company and Accommodation Company.  No waiver of any term, covenant or provision of this Agreement 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.

 

16.  Unconditional Agreement - The Company and Accommodation Company acknowledge that this Agreement and the Company's and Accommodation Company’s obligations under this Agreement 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 Agreement and the obligations of the Company and Accommodation Company under this Agreement or the obligations of any other person or party relating to this Agreement or the obligations of the Company and Accommodation Company thereunder or otherwise with respect to the Obligations.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of Porter Capital, the Company and the Accommodation Company, and the Company and Accommodation Company 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 Agreement or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, Company or Accommodation Company) relating to this Agreement or the obligations of the Company or Accommodation Company 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 Company or Accommodation Company under this Agreement.  The Company and Accommodation Company acknowledges that no oral or other agreements, understand­ings, representa­tions or warranties exist with respect to the obligations of the Company or Accommodation Company under this Agreement, except those specifically set forth in this Agreement.
