PART II
PURCHASE ORDER FINANCING

5.  As a simplification, to operate its business, except where Wholesale Rx has already secured favorable pricing for smaller volume orders, Wholesale Rx secures purchase orders for various drugs from its customers.  These purchase orders are aggregated, to maximize the volume of each separate drug ordered, in order to secure favorable pricing for such drug from its manufacturers and/or distributors.  Wholesale Rx requires financing in order to pay for the purchased inventory.  As the purchased inventory is shipped to the ordering customer(s), WholesaleRx receives credit card payment for the shipped drugs (including freight and other costs).

(f) All financing under this Part II shall be repaid to ScripsAmerica by the twenty-fourth (24th) calendar day after the advance of funds by the third party financing source, so as to permit ScripsAmerica to repay the third party financing source within the 30 day limit.  WholesaleRx, in its discretion, can repay any advances at any time without prepayment penalty.  Interest shall be calculated and paid in ten (10) calendar day groupings, not on a daily basis.  Funds repaid within the first ten days, regardless of payment before the entire ten days, shall bear interest at the rate of .006 or .6%; i.e., .006 of the loan.  Funds repaid within the second ten days, regardless of payment before the entire ten days, shall bear interest at the rate of .012 or 1.2%; i.e., .012 of the loan.  Funds repaid within the next ten days, regardless of payment before the entire ten days, shall bear interest at the rate of .018 or 1.8%; i.e., .018 of the loan.  Time is of the essence in repayment and funds not repaid within the twenty-four (24) day limit period shall be delinquent.  The interest rate (based upon ten day groups) under this Part II shall increase by .001 per period.
