12.3.2. a Non-Notified Payor, Seller shall mark the same with instructions to make payments on the Account evidenced by such Invoice to the Bank Account, or, in the case of Invoices submitted on a Vendor Portal, Seller shall enter, or cause to be entered, in the Vendor Portal the Bank Account as the deposit account for payment on Seller’s Accounts.

 

 

 

12.4. Seller shall instruct all Non-Notified Payors to make payments on all Accounts to the Bank Account and, thereafter, Seller shall not change such instructions without Purchaser’s written consent.

 

12.5. Seller shall pay when due all payroll and other taxes, and shall provide proof thereof to Purchaser in such form as Purchaser shall reasonably require.

 

12.6. Seller shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any lien upon or with respect to any assets which the Purchaser purchases or in which Purchaser now or hereafter holds a security interest except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld so long as the subordinate secured party and Purchaser enter into a consent agreement acceptable to Purchaser.

 

12.7. Notwithstanding Seller’s obligation to pay the Misdirected Payment Fee, Seller shall pay to a Deposit Account designated by Purchaser or Purchaser’s assignee on the next banking day following the date of receipt by Seller (other than payments made to the Bank Account by a Non-Notified Payor) the amount of:

Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its successors and assigns from any loss arising out of the assertion of any Avoidance Claim other than such claims that relate to Purchased Accounts that are owed by an Account Debtor which was Insolvent at the time the subject payment was received by Purchaser, and shall pay to Purchaser on demand the amount thereof.

 

12.9.2. Seller shall notify Purchaser within two Business Days of it becoming aware of the assertion of an Avoidance Claim.

 

12.9.3. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

12.10. In the event that Purchaser sends a Notice of Assignment to a Notified Payor obligated with respect to any Account pursuant to Section 10.1.6.

12.11. Seller agrees that a violation of Section 12.10. or Section 12.4. will put the value of the Collateral at risk and will cause irreparable harm to Purchaser and, therefore, Purchaser shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent such violation without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy and Purchaser will be entitled to any proceeds of Accounts received by Seller as a result of such violation.

 

12.12. Seller shall ensure that Purchaser at all times has a list of all of Seller’s Deposit Accounts. Upon Purchaser’s request, Seller shall cause Purchaser to have control of any such Deposit Account (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC).

12.17. Seller shall, and shall cause its employees and officers to comply with all state laws requiring any proceeds, funds, or payments received by Seller from Jobs be used to first pay Seller’s subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, suppliers and vendors. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is relying on such compliance when it receives any proceeds of Accounts or makes any payment to or for the benefit of Seller hereunder.

 

12.18. Upon Purchaser’s request, Seller shall obtain, or cooperate with Purchaser to enable Purchaser to obtain, partial or final lien releases from Seller’s subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, suppliers and/or vendors with respect to any Job.

 

13. Account Disputes.

 

13.1. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly of and, if requested by Purchaser, will settle all disputes concerning any Purchased Account, at Seller’s sole cost and expense. Purchaser may, but is not required to, attempt to settle, compromise, or litigate (collectively, “Resolve”) the dispute upon such terms, as Purchaser in its sole discretion deem advisable, for Seller’s account and risk and at Seller’s sole expense. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default Purchaser may Resolve such issues with respect to any Account of Seller.

 

 

 

14. Representation and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants that:

14.4.2. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, unconditionally owed and will be paid to Purchaser without defenses, disputes, offsets, counterclaims, or rights of return or cancellation, other than Accounts owed by an Account Debtor which became Insolvent after the date on which Seller delivered the goods or rendered the services that created such Accounts.

 

14.4.3. Not sales to any Affiliate of Seller.

 

14.4.4. “Arm’s length” transactions.

17.3. Effect of Default.

 

17.3.1. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default:

 

(a) Purchaser may immediately terminate this Agreement, at which time all Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without notice (provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under clauses (d), (e) or (f) of Section 17.1.1. , the Obligations shall automatically become due and payable without notice);

19. Amendment and Waiver.

 

19.1. Only a writing signed by all parties hereto may amend this Agreement. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder shall impair any such right that Purchaser may have, nor shall any waiver by Purchaser hereunder be deemed a waiver of any default or breach subsequently occurring.

20.3. A notice of termination or notice of non-renewal shall not be effective unless all Obligations have been paid to Purchaser on or before the termination date set forth therein.

 

20.4. Any attempted termination of this Agreement other than as set forth herein shall be ineffective, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such attempted termination was not made.

 

21. No Lien Termination without Complete Termination.

 

21.1. In recognition of the Purchaser’s right to have its attorneys’ fees and other expenses and indemnification claims incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Seller, Purchaser shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of Purchaser’s liens on the Collateral unless and until Complete Termination has occurred. Seller understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under §9-513 of the UCC.

 

22. Conflict.

 

22.1. Unless otherwise expressly stated in any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller, if a conflict exists between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of such other agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

 

23. Severability.

(a) Arising out the automatic stay,

 

(b) Seeking dismissal or conversion of the bankruptcy proceeding, or

25.2.

It shall be presumed (subject to rebuttal only by the introduction of competent evidence to the contrary) that the amount recoverable is the amount billed to the prevailing Party by its counsel and that such amount will be reasonable if based on the billing rates charged to the prevailing party by its counsel in similar matters.

 

25.3. In the event that Seller asserts a claim against Purchaser hereunder, it shall do so in writing prior to and as a condition of the commencement of any litigation by Seller, setting forth the specific amount of Seller’s claim against Purchaser (the “Damage Claim”).

29. Venue; Jurisdiction.

 

29.1. Any suit, action or proceeding arising hereunder, or the interpretation, performance or breach hereof, including an action in tort, shall, if Purchaser so elects, be instituted in any court sitting in the state of New York (the “Acceptable Forums”).
