Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”)

 

1. ASSIGNMENT. PRESTIGE CAPITAL CORPORATION (“Prestige”) hereby buys and ADEX CORPORATION (“Seller”) hereby sells, transfers and assigns all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to those specific accounts receivable owing to Seller as set forth on the assignment forms provided by Prestige (the “Assignments”) together with all rights of action accrued or to accrue thereon, including without limitation, full power to collect, sue for, compromise, assign or in any other manner enforce collection thereof in Prestige’s name or otherwise. All of Seller’s accounts receivable and contract rights which are presently or at any time hereafter assigned by Seller, and accepted by Prestige, are collectively referred to as (the “Account(s)”).

 

2. ADVANCE. Upon Prestige’s receipt and acceptance of each Assignment, Prestige shall pay to Seller EIGHTY percent (80%) of the face value of the Accounts and unbilled yet earned Accounts therein described (the “Down Payment”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum outstanding balance of Seller to Prestige shall be $5,000,000 (“Maximum Advance”).

 

3. RESERVE. Prestige will hold in reserve the difference between the Purchase Price (hereinafter defined) and the Down Payment (the “Reserve”) and provided there are no outstanding chargebacks or disputes, will pay to Seller, the Reserve, less any sums due Prestige hereunder, three (3) business days from the date on which the Accounts have been collected in good funds, charged back and/or deemed collected by Prestige due to an account debtor’s insolvency. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Purchase Price” shall mean the net face value of Accounts, less; Prestige’s discount fee described in paragraph 4 below, returns, credits, allowances and discounts; and less all other sums charged or chargeable to Seller’s Accounts.

 

4. DISCOUNT. Prestige’s purchase of the Accounts from Seller shall be at a discount fee which is deducted from the face value of each Account upon collection. The discount fee, which shall be based on the number of days an Account is outstanding from the date of the Down Payment, shall be as follows: If paid within 30 days a discount fee of 1.80%; if paid within 40 days a discount fee of 2.40%; if paid within 50 days a discount fee of 3.00%; if paid within 60 days a discount fee of 3.60%; if paid within 70 days a discount fee of 4.20%; if paid within 80 days a discount fee of 4.80%; if paid within 90 days a discount fee of 5.40%; if paid within 100 days a discount fee of 6.00% and an additional 1.5% for each 10 day period thereafter until the Account is paid in full.

 

5. WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATION AND COVENANTS. As an inducement for Prestige’s entering into this Agreement and with full knowledge that the truth and accuracy of the warranties, representations and covenants in this Agreement are being relied upon by Prestige, instead of the delay of a complete credit investigation, Seller warrants, represents and covenants that:

 

(a)Seller is properly licensed and authorized to operate the business of telecom staffing;

 

(b)Seller is the sole and absolute owner of the Accounts and has the full legal right to make said sale, assignment and transfer;

 

(c)The correct amount of each Account will be set forth on the Assignments;

 

(d)Each Account is an accurate and undisputed statement of indebtedness from an account debtor for a sum certain, without offset or counterclaim and which is due and payable in ninety days or less;

 

(e)Each Account is an accurate statement of a bona fide sale, delivery and acceptance of merchandise or performance of service by Seller to an account debtor;

 

(f)Seller does not own, control or exercise dominion in any way whatsoever, over the business of any account debtor;

 

(g)All financial records, statements, books or other documents shown to Prestige by Seller at any time either before or after the signing of this Agreement are true and accurate;

 

(h)Seller will not under any circumstance or in any manner whatsoever, interfere with any of Prestige’s rights under this Agreement;

 

(i)Seller has not and will not, at any time, permit any lien, security interest or encumbrance to be created upon any of its accounts receivable (except for a UCC filed by Eustis Cable, LTD, against Seller’s AT&T receivables) and/or its inventory without the prior written consent of Prestige;

 

(j)Seller will not change or modify the terms of the Accounts with any account debtor unless Prestige first consents, in writing;

  

 

 

 

(k)Seller will notify Prestige, in writing, in advance of: any change in Seller’s place of business; Seller having or acquiring more than one place of business; any change in Seller’s chief executive office; and/or any change in the office or offices where Seller’s books and records concerning accounts receivable are kept;

 

(l)Seller will immediately notify Prestige of any proposed or actual change of the Seller’s and/or any account debtor’s identity, legal entity or corporate structure;

 

(m)A notification letter from Seller and/or all invoices will state on their face that the Accounts represented thereby have been assigned to Prestige and are to be paid directly to Prestige; and

 

(n)No Account shall be on a bill-and-hold, guaranteed sale, sale-and-return, sale on approval, consignment or any other repurchase or return basis;

 

The warranties, representations and covenants contained in this paragraph 5 shall be continuous and be deemed to be renewed each time Seller assigns Accounts to Prestige. Notwithstanding the provisions contained in paragraph 6 of this Agreement, Prestige shall have recourse against the Seller in the event that any of the warranties, representations and covenants set forth in this paragraph 5 are breached.

 

6. NO RECOURSE. Prestige shall have no recourse against Seller if payments are not received solely due to the “Insolvency” of an account debtor within 100 days of invoice date. For purposes of the foregoing, Insolvency shall be deemed to have occurred only when: (a) a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding for the relief of an account debtor under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 shall have been instituted in a United States Bankruptcy Court; (b) a receiver is appointed for the whole or any part of the property of an account debtor; (c) an account debtor’s assets shall have been sold under a writ of execution or attachments, or a writ of execution shall have been returned unsatisfied; (d) an account debtor shall have absconded; or (e) an account debtor’s assets shall have been sold under levy by any taxing authority or by a landlord.

 

7. CHARGE-BACK. In the event that any Account is not paid within 100 days of invoice date for any reason whatsoever (other than as a result of an account debtor’s Insolvency), including, without limitation, any alleged defense, counterclaim, offset, dispute or other claim (real or merely asserted) whether arising from or relating to the sale of goods or rendition of services or arising from or relating to any other transaction or occurrence, then in any such event Prestige shall have the right to chargeback such Account to Seller. No chargeback shall be deemed a reassignment to Seller of the Account involved. Seller acknowledges that all amounts chargeable to Seller’s account under this Agreement shall be payable by Seller on demand.

 

8. NOTICE OF DISPUTE. Seller must immediately notify Prestige of any disputes between any account debtor and Seller.

 

9. SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTE. Prestige may, at its option, settle any dispute with any account debtor. Such settlement does not relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

10. SOLE PROPERTY. Once Prestige has purchased the Accounts, the payment from account debtors relative to the Accounts is the sole property of Prestige. Any interference by Seller with this payment will result in civil and/or criminal liability.

 

11. SECURITY INTEREST. As a further inducement for Prestige to enter into this Agreement, and as security for the prompt performance, observance and payment of all obligations owing by Seller to Prestige, Seller hereby grants to Prestige a continuing security interest in and lien upon the following (herein collectively referred to as the “Collateral”): all accounts, inventory, machinery and equipment, instruments, documents, chattel paper and general intangibles (as such terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code), whether now owned or hereafter created or acquired by Seller, wherever located, and all replacements and substitutions therefore, accessions thereto, and products and proceeds thereof, and all property of Seller at any time in Prestige’s possession.

 

12. FINANCING STATEMENTS. Seller will, at its expense perform all acts and execute all documents requested by Prestige at any time to evidence, perfect, maintain and enforce Prestige’s security interest and other rights in the Collateral and the priority thereof.

 

13. HOLD IN TRUST. Seller will hold in trust and safekeeping, as the property of Prestige and immediately turn over to Prestige, the identical check or other form of payment received by Seller if payment on the Accounts comes into Seller’s possession. Should Seller come into possession of a check comprising payments owing to both Seller and Prestige, Seller shall turnover said check to Prestige. In the event a payment belonging to Prestige is improperly deposited into Seller’s bank account, Prestige reserves the right to impose liquidated damages upon Seller of up to 12% of the amount of any payment so improperly deposited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Prestige agrees to waive the aforementioned penalty on no more than three occasions provided that on such occasions Seller remits, in full, the improperly deposited funds to Prestige within 2 business days of receipt.

 

14. FINANCIAL RECORDS. Seller will furnish to Prestige financial statements and such other information as is, from time to time, requested by Prestige.
