9. Authorization to Lender.

9.1.

9.1.6. Advise third parties that any notification to Borrower’s Account Debtors will interfere with Lender’s collection rights;

9.1.7. Accept, endorse and deposit on behalf of Borrower any checks tendered by an Account Debtor “in full payment” of its obligation to Borrower. Borrower shall not assert against Lender any claim arising therefrom, irrespective of whether such action by Lender effects an accord and satisfaction of Borrower's claims, under §3-311 of the UCC, or otherwise; and

11. Electronic Transactions Authorization. The Parties agree that all business between one another shall be conducted by electronic means and adopt the provisions of the California Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) as set forth in California Civil Code, Division 3, Part 2, Title 2.5, Sections 1633.1 – 1633.17, inclusive, and shall specifically include documents executed by DocuSign.

In furtherance of the above, the Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to regard the Borrower’s printed name or electronic approval for any document, agreement, assignment schedules or invoices as the equivalent of a manual signature by one of the Borrower's authorized officers or agents. The Borrower’s failure to promptly deliver to Lender any schedule, report, statement, writing or other information (“Record”) required by this Agreement or any document related hereto shall not affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit Lender’s security interests in the Collateral. Lender may rely upon, and assume the authenticity of, any such electronic approval, and any material applicable to such approval as the duly confirmed, authorized and approved signature of the Borrower by the person approving same, shall constitute an “authenticated” record for all purposes (including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code) and shall satisfy the requirements of any applicable statute of frauds. Borrower is not required to agree to conduct business pursuant to the UETA and the Advances being granted in furtherance of this Agreement are not conditioned upon Borrower agreeing to conduct business in accordance with the UETA. Borrower may terminate this Electronic Transactions Authorization by providing Lender with not less than ten (10) days’ written notice as provided in Section 35.1, below. Thereafter, Borrower shall incur and be responsible to pay Lender a “Manual Reporting Fee” for any Record when manually submitted by Borrower to Lender or for any statement or report delivered manually by Lender to Borrower.

Each and every Financed Account sold and assigned to Lender shall, on the date the assignment is made and thereafter, comply with all of the following representations and warranties: (a) each Financed Account represents an undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the Account Debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the rendition of services in the ordinary course of Borrower's business; (b) each Financed Account is owned by Borrower free and clear of any and all deductions, disputes, liens, security interests and encumbrances; (c) the Account Debtor has received and accepted the goods sold and services rendered which created the Financed Account and the invoice therefor and will pay the same without any dispute; (d) no Account Debtor on any Financed Account is a shareholder or partner owning more than ten percent (10%) of Borrower’s equity interests, director, or agent of Borrower, or is a person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Borrower, or is engaged in a Restricted Industry; (e) no Financed Account is owed by an Account Debtor to whom Borrower is or may become liable in connection with goods sold or services rendered by the Account Debtor to Borrower or any other transaction or dealing between the Account Debtor and Borrower; and (f) each Financed Account arises from a contractual agreement that is governed by the law of a state of the United States of America or such other jurisdiction as approved by Lender in writing.

This Section 15 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

16. Disclaimer of Liability. In no event will Lender be liable to Borrower for any lost profits, lost savings or other consequential, incidental, punitive or special damages resulting from or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions or relationships contemplated hereby or Lender's performance or failure to perform hereunder, even if Lender has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

17. Default.

17.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one of more of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder: (a) Borrower fails to pay or perform any Obligation as and when due; (b) there shall be commenced by or against Borrower or any guarantor of the Obligations any voluntary or involuntary case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or appointment of a receiver or custodian for any of its assets, or Borrower makes or sends notice of a bulk transfer; (c) Borrower or any guarantor of the Obligations shall become insolvent in that its debts are greater than the fair value of its assets, or is generally not paying its debts as they become due or is left with unreasonably small capital; (d) any lien, garnishment, attachment, execution or the like is issued against or attaches to the Borrower, the Financed Accounts, or the Collateral; (e) Borrower shall breach any covenant, agreement, warranty, or representation set forth herein; (f) Borrower delivers any document, financial statement, schedule or report to Lender which is false or incorrect in any material respect; (g) Lender, at any time, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, deems itself insecure with respect to the prospect of repayment or performance of the Obligations; (h) Borrower defaults under any other agreement for indebtedness if the effect of such default is to enable the holder of such indebtedness to make demand for payment prior to the maturity thereof and such default continues beyond any applicable grace or cure period; (i) Borrower or any of its senior management is criminally indicted or convicted of a felony offense under any state or federal law; (j) A Change of Control occurs; (k) Lender fails to have a perfected first priority security interest in any of the Collateral; (l) Borrower suspends or ceases operation of all or a material portion of its business, (m) there shall be issued or filed against Borrower or any guarantor of the Obligations an order, writ or judgment adversely affecting the Borrower, such guarantor or the Collateral that is not vacated, stayed, bonded or satisfied within thirty (30) days after such issuance or filing; (n) any present or future guarantor of the Obligations revokes, terminates or fails to perform any of the terms of any guaranty, endorsement or other agreement of such party in favor of Lender or any affiliate of Lender or shall notify Lender of its intention to rescind, modify, terminate or revoke any guaranty of the Obligations, or any such guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect for any reason whatever; or (o) there is a material adverse change in Borrowers or Guarantors business, prospects or financial condition.

 

 

 

17.2. No Waiver by Lender. LENDER’S FAILURE TO CHARGE OR ACCRUE INTEREST OR FEES AT ANY “DEFAULT” OR “PAST DUE” RATE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER BY LENDER OF ITS RIGHT TO DO SO RETROACTIVELY TO THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT.

The failure of Lender at any time or times hereafter to require Borrower strictly to comply with any of the provisions, warranties, terms or conditions of this Agreement or any other present or future instrument or agreement between Borrower and Lender shall not waive or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand and receive strict compliance therewith and with any other provision warranty, term and condition; and any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type. None of the provisions, warranties, terms or conditions of this Agreement or other instrument or agreement now or hereafter executed by Borrower and delivered to Lender shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Lender or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written waiver signed by an officer of Lender and delivered to Borrower.

17.3 Waiver of Notice by Borrower. Borrower waives any and all notices or demands which Borrower might be entitled to receive with respect to this Agreement, or any other agreement by virtue of any applicable law. Borrower hereby waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, Account, general intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by Lender on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by Lender unless expressly required by this Agreement. Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do pursuant to this Agreement and agrees that Lender shall not be liable for the safekeeping of the Collateral or any loss or damage thereto, or diminution in value thereof, from any cause whatsoever, any act or omission of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agent or other person, or any act of commission or any omission by Lender or its officers, employees, agents, or attorneys, or any of its or their errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or of law.

   

18. Remedies.

18.1 Generally. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, Lender, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower) may do any one or more of the following: (a) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, and any other document or agreement; (b) Accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable, and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligation as well as charging the Default Rate on the Obligations above and in addition to any applicable rate hereunder; (c) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found, and for that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes Lender without judicial process to enter onto any of the Borrower's premises without hindrance to search for, take possession of, keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral and remain on such premises or cause a custodian to remain thereon in exclusive control thereof without charge for so long as Lender deems necessary in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, however, that should Lender seek to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by Court process or through a receiver, Borrower hereby irrevocable waives: (i) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession thereof; and (iii) any requirement that Lender retain possession of and not dispose of any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (d) Require Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place or places to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Lender may deem advisable; (e) Place a receiver in exclusive control of Borrower’s business and/or any or all of the Collateral, in order to assist Lender in enforcing its rights and remedies; (f) Sell, reclaim, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral in its condition at the time Lender obtains possession or after further manufacturing, processing or repair; at any one or more public and/or private sale(s) (including execution sales); in lots or in bulk; for cash, exchange for other property or on credit; and to adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Lender shall have the right to conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge for such time or times as Lender deems fit, or on Lender's premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Lender may directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at any such public disposition and, if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is defective as to title or physical condition at the time of sale; (g) Demand payment of, and collect any Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, Supporting Obligations and General Intangibles comprising part or all of the Collateral; or (h) Demand and receive possession of any of Borrower's federal and state income tax returns and the books, records and accounts utilized in the preparation thereof or referring thereto. Any and all legal fees, expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Lender with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations and shall be due on demand.

18.2 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by Lender from the disposition of or collection of any of the Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in such manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrower shall remain liable to Lender therefor. In the event that, as a result of the disposition of any of the Collateral, Lender directly or indirectly enters into a credit transaction with any third party, Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole discretion, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of such credit transaction or deferring the reduction thereof until the actual receipt by Lender of cash therefor from such third party.

18.3 Online Access. Upon an Event of Default, all of Borrower’s rights and access to any online internet services that Lender makes available to Borrower shall be provisional pending Borrower’s curing of all such Events of Default. During such period of time, Lender may limit or terminate Borrower’s access to online services. Borrower acknowledges that the information Lender makes available to Borrower through online internet access, both before and after an Event of Default, constitutes and satisfies any duty to respond to a request for accounting or request regarding a statement of account that is referenced in the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of California.

 

 

 

18.4 Standards of Commercial Reasonableness. After an Event of Default, the parties acknowledge that it shall be presumed commercially reasonable and Lender shall have no duty to undertake to collect any Account, including those in which Lender receives information from an Account Debtor that a dispute exists. Furthermore, in the event Lender undertakes to collect or enforce an obligation of an Account Debtor or any other person obligated on the Collateral and ascertains that the possibility of collection is outweighed by the likely costs and expenses that will be incurred, Lender may at any such time cease any further collection efforts and such action shall be considered commercially reasonable. Before Borrower may, under any circumstances, seek to hold Lender responsible for taking any commercially unreasonable action, Borrower shall first notify Lender in writing, of all of the reasons why Borrower believes Lender has acted in any commercially unreasonable manner and advise Lender of the action that Borrower believes Lender should take.

18.5 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall have all other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in California and under any and all other applicable laws and in any other instrument or agreement now or hereafter entered into between Lender and Borrower and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by Lender of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Lender from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Lender to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

 

19. Account Stated. Lender shall regularly make available to Borrower electronically a statement setting forth the transactions arising hereunder. Each statement shall be considered correct and binding upon Borrower as an account stated, except to the extent that Lender receives, within sixty (60) days after making such statement available, written notice from Borrower of any specific exceptions by Borrower to that statement, and then it shall be binding against Borrower as to any items to which it has not objected.

 

20. Amendment and Waiver. 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 Lender may have, nor shall any waiver by Lender hereunder be deemed a waiver of any default or breach subsequently occurring. Lender’s rights and remedies herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any rights or remedies that Lender would otherwise have.

 

21. Termination; Effective Date.

21.1. Subject to the Early Termination Fee, this Agreement will be effective on the date it is signed by Borrower and accepted by Lender (“Effective Date”), shall continue for the Term (such first Term being referred to as the “Initial Term”), and shall be automatically extended for successive Terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless Borrower shall provide 60 days prior written notice to Lender of its intention to terminate at the end of any Initial Term or Renewal Term whereupon this Agreement shall terminate on the date set forth in said notice upon successful repayment of all outstanding Obligations.

21.2. Lender may terminate this Agreement and demand immediate payment of all outstanding Obligations at any time and for any reason.

   

22. No Lien Termination without Release. In recognition of the Lender's right to have its legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Borrower, Lender shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of Lender's liens on the Collateral unless and until Complete Termination has occurred. Borrower understands and agrees that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under §9-513 of the UCC.

 

23. Conflict. Unless otherwise expressly stated in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower, if a conflict exists between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of such other agreement with Lender, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

 

24. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

25. Enforcement. This Agreement and all agreements relating to the subject matter hereof is the product of negotiation and preparation by and among each party and its respective attorneys and shall be construed accordingly.

 

26. Relationship of Parties. The relationship of the parties hereto shall be that of Borrower and Lender, and Lender shall not be a fiduciary of the Borrower, although Borrower may be a fiduciary of the Lender.

 

27. Legal Fees. Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender on demand for:

27.1. The actual amount of all costs and expenses, including legal fees (including costs of internal counsel), which Lender has incurred or may incur in;

27.1.1. Negotiating, preparing, or administering this Agreement and any documents prepared in connection herewith or in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and whether or not arising out of a dispute which does not involve Lender;

27.1.2. Protecting, preserving or enforcing any lien, security or other right granted by Borrower to Lender or arising under applicable law, whether or not suit is brought, including but not limited to the defense of any Avoidance Claims or the defense of Lender’s lien priority;

27.1.3. The actual costs, including photocopying (which, if performed by Lender's employees, shall be at the rate of $.10/page), travel, and legal fees and expenses incurred in complying with any subpoena or other legal process in any way relating to Borrower. and

27.1.4. The actual amount of all costs and expenses, including legal fees, which Lender may incur in enforcing this Agreement and any documents prepared in connection herewith, or in connection with any federal or state insolvency proceeding commenced by or against Borrower, including but not limited to those (a) arising out the automatic stay, (b) seeking dismissal or conversion of the bankruptcy proceeding, (c) opposing confirmation of Borrower's plan thereunder, or (d) validating Lender’s security interest or lien priority with respect to the Collateral.

27.2. This Section 27 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

28. Entire Agreement. No promises of any kind have been made by Lender or any third party to induce Borrower to execute this Agreement. No course of dealing, course of performance or trade usage, and no parole evidence of any nature, shall be used to supplement or modify any terms of this Agreement.

 

29. Choice of Law. This Agreement and all transactions contemplated hereunder and/or evidenced hereby shall be governed by, construed under, and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Chosen State.

 

 

 

30. Jury Trial Waiver. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY), THE OBLIGATIONS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE PARTIES ACTIONS IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE PARTIES EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH WAIVER IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF THE RIGHTS AND BENEFITS WAIVED HEREBY, AND WITH THE BENEFIT OF ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOOSING. THE PARTIES EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS.

IN THE EVENT THAT ANY PARTY HERETO ELECTS TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED SOLELY THROUGH A JUDICIAL REFEREE AS PROVIDED IN CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 638 THROUGH 645.1. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE TO THE APPOINTMENT OF JAMS AS THE REFEREE APPOINTMENT TO CONDUCT THE TRIAL AND SUCH RELATED PROCEEDINGS. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE FILING OF ANY PRE-TRIAL MOTION OR ANY PRE-TRIAL PROVISIONAL REMEDY SHALL NOT OPERATE AS A WAIVER OF EACH PARTY’S RIGHT TO TRIAL SOLELY THROUGH A JUDICIAL REFEREE. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE JUDICIAL REFEREE WILL LIKELY CHARGE FEES AND COSTS OVER AND ABOVE THOSE NORMALLY CHARGED BY A COURT. THE PARTIES AGREE TO INITIALLY EVENLY SPLIT THE FEES AND COSTS OF SUCH REFEREE BETWEEN THE PARTIES, SUBJECT TO SUCH FURTHER RULINGS BY THE REFEREE.

 

31. Venue; Jurisdiction. Any suit, action or proceeding arising hereunder, or the interpretation, performance or breach hereof, shall, if Lender so elects, be instituted in any court sitting in the Chosen State, in the city in which Lender’s chief executive office is located, or if none, any court sitting in the Chosen State (the “Acceptable Forums”). Borrower agrees that the Acceptable Forums are convenient to it, and submits to the jurisdiction of the Acceptable Forums and waives any and all objections to jurisdiction or venue. Should such proceeding be initiated in any other forum, Borrower waives any right to oppose any motion or application made by Lender to transfer such proceeding to an Acceptable Forum.

 

32. Service of Process. Borrower agrees that Lender may effect service of process upon Borrower by regular mail at the address set forth herein or at such other address as may be reflected in the records of Lender, or at the option of Lender by service upon Borrower’s agent for the service of process.

 

33. Assignment. Lender may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder. Upon such assignment, Borrower shall be deemed to have attorned to such assignee and shall owe the same obligations to such assignee and shall accept performance hereunder by such assignee as if such assignee were Lender.

 

34. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if all signatures were upon the same instrument.
