3. PURCHASE: GENERAL TERMS.
3.1 Purchasing Fee.

3.3 Approval. PURCHASER reserves the right not to purchase an Account unless such Account is first submitted to PURCHASER by CLIENT for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding, PURCHASER is not obligated to buy any Account from CLIENT.
3.4 Sole Property. Upon the purchase of an Account by PURCHASER, all payments on said Account shall be the sole property of PURCHASER. Any interference by CLIENT with this payment may result in civil and/or criminal liability.
3.5 Additional Fees/Discounts and Reserve Program. PURCHASER will fund to CLIENT seventy-five percent (75.0%) of the face value of each Account. The Reserve will be deducted by PURCHASER from the Accounts at the time of purchase. Additional fees/discounts may be taken by PURCHASER from the Reserve as described in (A) through (E) below. PURCHASER retains the right in its sole absolute discretion, and in respect of which PURCHASER shall have no Liability, to revise said Reserve from time to time if in PURCHASERS judgment it is necessary to protect CLIENT with regard to any obligations owing by CLIENT to PURCHASER, or to protect PURCHASER against possible returns, claims or defenses of CLIENTS Customers or any other contingencies.
(A) CLIENT shall pay PURCHASER an additional fee based on the daily balance of outstanding Liabilities multiplied by the Base Rate. The fee shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and a 360-day year. The Base Index in effect shall be determined by PURCHASER on a daily basis, with adjustments to such BASE INDEX to be made on the same date as any change in the Base Index is determined by PURCHASER, which index shall be used in computing the Base Fee which is payable until the next announced change in the Base Index. Such fee will be calculated monthly and charged against CLIENTS Reserve.
For the purpose of computing fees hereunder payments shall be applied by PURCHASER on account of the Liabilities three (3) business days after same have been deposited into PURCHASERS operating bank account, and no such item received by PURCHASER shall constitute payment to PURCHASER unless such item is actually collected by the bank at which PURCHASER maintains its operating account and such collection is credited to PURCHASERS account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all such items of payment shall, solely for the purpose of determining the occurrence of an Event of Default, be deemed received upon actual receipt by PURCHASER, unless the same is subsequently dishonored for any reason whatsoever. All payments made by or on behalf of and all credits due any CLIENT may be applied and reapplied in whole or in part to any of the Liabilities to the extent and in the manner PURCHASER deems advisable.
(B) The net balance of Reserve funds shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.2. The Reserve releases will be made available by PURCHASER to CLIENT each business day. Reserve releases are made only on Accounts that are paid by Customers or Accounts that are charged back, repurchased or otherwise settled by CLIENT in full. Reserve releases are subject to the computer closing date for that period which is usually several days prior to the stated release dates.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, in the event CLIENT shall cease selling Accounts to PURCHASER, PURCHASER shall not pay the amount in the Reserve to CLIENT until all Accounts have been collected or PURCHASER has determined, in its sole and commercially reasonable discretion, that it will make no further efforts to collect any Accounts and all sums due PURCHASER hereunder have been paid.
(C) CLIENT agrees to pay PURCHASER a facility fee of three-quarters of one percent (.75%) of the Purchasing Limit. The facility fee shall be charged against the CLIENTS Reserve at closing and at the beginning of year two (2) and, upon renewal, each subsequent year thereafter.
(D) During the term of this Agreement, CLIENT shall pay to PURCHASER an audit fee of Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00) each day an examination is in progress, plus all of PURCHASERS actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing field examinations. The audit fee shall be charged against the CLIENTS Reserve.
(E) During the term of this Agreement, CLIENT agrees to adopt, utilize, and abide by any available internet reporting systems provided for its use by PURCHASER. CLIENT shall have ninety (90) days following notification by PURCHASER that an internet reporting system is in place to make any necessary adjustments to its systems and to begin providing all reports and collateral information to PURCHASER via such internet systems proscribed by PURCHASER. If CLIENT fails to report as required within the initial ninety (90) day period or at any time thereafter, CLIENT agrees to pay to PURCHASER a monthly fee of Three Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($300.00). Said fee shall be charged against CLIENTS Reserve.
3.6 CLIENT agrees that the total of the net average outstanding balance of Advances for the month shall not be less than Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00). If the net average outstanding Advance balance for the month is below Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00), then the CLIENT will pay a fee calculated as follows: Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00) minus actual average Advance balance multiplied by one-quarter of one percent (.25%).
Purchasing Agreement-Page No. 2. | PUR.BIN 10\00 |
This fee will be calculated monthly and charged against CLIENTS reserve account on the first day of the month following execution hereof and on the same day of each month and every succeeding month thereafter during the term hereof and at maturity.
3.7 Required Forms. When CLIENT offers a schedule of Accounts to PURCHASER for sale, PURCHASER shall receive an original invoice and a copy thereof, a copy of the bill of lading, shipping document or proof of delivery, and contract, purchase order, and/or a purchase order number which corresponds with said invoice(s), as appropriate to the business of CLIENT.
3.8 Repurchase of Accounts. CLIENT will repurchase from PURCHASER any and all Accounts not paid within ninety (90) days from date of invoice* at One Hundred Percent (100%) face value in one of the following manners or combination thereof at PURCHASERS option: (1) By submitting new Accounts, (2) By deducting said amount from the Reserve release due CLIENT, or (3) By requesting payment from CLIENT.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
1. The undersigned, PROLONG INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, having offices at 6 Thomas, Irvine, California 92618 (hereinafter called Guarantor) for value received, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and to induce FIRST CAPITAL CORPORATION which does business in California as FC Commercial Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation, having offices at 3520 NW 58th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73112 (hereinafter called Purchaser), at its option, at any time or from time to time, to extend trade credit, with or without security, to or for the account of PROLONG SUPER LUBRICANTS, INC., (hereinafter called Client), and at the special insistence and request of Purchaser, Guarantor hereby jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment at maturity and the prompt performance when due of the following (hereinafter called the Liabilities): All indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of any kind of Client to Purchaser.
2. This guaranty is an absolute, complete and continuing one, and no notice of the Liabilities, of any extension of credit or of any financial accommodation already or hereafter contracted by or extended to Client need be given to Guarantor. Client and Purchaser may amend, modify, supplement, rearrange, extend for any period and/or renew from time to time, any Liabilities without notice to the Guarantor and in such event Guarantor will remain fully bound hereunder on such Liabilities. Guarantor hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of protest and dishonor on any and all forms of the Liabilities, and also notice of acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement, acceptance on the part of Purchaser being conclusively presumed by its request for this Guaranty Agreement and delivery of the same to it.
3. This guaranty shall remain effective until this Guaranty Agreement has been expressly terminated. Such termination shall be applicable only to transactions having their inception after the effective date of termination and shall not affect any rights or liabilities arising out of transactions having their inception prior to such date even if subsequent to such termination the Liabilities are modified, renewed, compromised, extended, or otherwise amended. This guaranty shall not apply to any Liabilities created after receipt by Purchaser of written notice of its termination as to future transactions.
4. Guarantor waives any right to require Purchaser to (a) proceed against Client, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Client, (c) have Client joined with Guarantor in any suit arising out of this Guaranty Agreement and/or any of the Liabilities, or (d) pursue any other remedy in Purchasers power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability, lack of corporate authority or power, or other defense of Client or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities, other than satisfaction of the Liabilities, and shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Client or any other guarantor be found not liable thereon for any reason. Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Purchaser now has or may hereafter have against Client.
5. If Guarantor fails to pay the Liabilities after notice by Purchaser of Clients failure to pay any Liabilities at maturity or upon demand, and if Purchaser obtains the services of an attorney for collection of amounts owing by Guarantor hereunder, or if suit is filed to enforce this Guaranty Agreement, or if proceedings are had in any bankruptcy, probate, receivership or other judicial proceedings for the establishment or collection of any amount owing by Guarantor hereunder, or if any amount owing by Guarantor hereunder is collected through such proceedings, Guarantor agrees to pay to Purchaser at Purchasers offices Purchasers reasonable attorneys fees.
6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty Agreement, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights Guarantor may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of the Purchaser) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from the Client, any other guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any Liabilities of the Client to the Purchaser, for any disbursement made by the Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement or otherwise.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT - Page 1 | Rev. 3/97 |
7. This Guaranty Agreement is and shall be in every particular available to the successors and assigns of Purchaser and is and shall always be fully binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor herein, notwithstanding that some or all of the Liabilities, the repayment of which this Guaranty Agreement applies, may be actually accrued or incurred by the Client after any bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization or other event affecting either Guarantor herein.
8. Any notice or demand to Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement may be given and shall conclusively be deemed and considered to have been given and received upon the deposit thereof, in writing, duly stamped and addressed to either Guarantor at the address of either Guarantor appearing on the records of Purchaser, in the U. S. mail, but actual notice, however given or received, shall always be effective.
9. Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of the Client and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Liabilities.
10. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS EXECUTED, DELIVERED AND PERFORMED WITHIN SUCH STATE, AND GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY CERTIFIED MAIL DIRECTED TO GUARANTOR AT HIS ADDRESS AS IT APPEARS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS, CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, POSTAGE PREPAID. GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE COURT. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT PURCHASERS RIGHT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT PURCHASERS RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST GUARANTOR OR HIS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
12. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (1) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (2) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
