Each Digital Ad Receivable will be accompanied by documentation supporting and evidencing the Digital Ad Receivable in form and content reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Buyer in its sole discretion may choose which Digital Ad Receivables offered by Seller to purchase or may choose to purchase none of the Digital Ad Receivables offered by Seller.

2. Cash Reserve Account. Buyer will hold a Cash Reserve Account for Seller that will include amounts received by Buyer from the Payor of the Purchased Digital Ad Receivables that are in excess of the sum of the Advance Amount and the accumulated Factoring Fees, up to the Required Cash Reserve Amount. In addition, Buyer shall add to the Cash Reserve Account any amounts received by Buyer from Seller’s receivables not purchased by Buyer. Buyer shall pay Seller any amount of excess in the Cash Reserve Account over the Required Cash Reserve Amount on a weekly basis. Buyer may charge the Cash Reserve Account with any Obligation.

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to regard Seller’s printed name or electronic approval for anything necessary to the consummation of this Agreement as the equivalent of a manual signature by the Seller’s authorized officers or agents. Buyer 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 Seller by the person approving the same, will constitute an “authenticated” record for all purposes, and shall satisfy the requirement of any applicable statute of frauds.

19. Waiver of Notice. BUYER'S FAILURE TO CHARGE OR ACCRUE FEES DUE HEREUNDER WILL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER BY BUYER OF ITS CLAIM TO SUCH FEES. The failure of Buyer at any time, during or after the Term, to require Seller 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 Seller and Buyer does not waive or diminish any right of Buyer to later demand and receive strict compliance with this Agreement and any other agreements, and with any other provision warranty, term and condition. Additionally, any waiver of any default will not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent to such default 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 later executed by Seller and delivered to Buyer will be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Buyer or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written waiver signed by an officer of Buyer and delivered to Seller. Seller hereby agrees that Buyer will not be liable for the safekeeping of the Collateral or any loss, damage, or reduction in value of Collateral, including any act of commission or any omission by Buyer or its officers, employees, agents, or attorneys, or any of its or their errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or of law, unless such loss, damage or reduction in value is the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer.

20. Rights with Respect to Collateral. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter while it is continuing, Buyer, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller) may do any one or more of the following: (a) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found (i.e. web hosting provider), and for that purpose Seller authorizes Buyer without judicial process to enter onto any of the Seller's premises without hindrance to search for, take possession of, keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral, provided, however, that should Buyer seek to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by Court process or through a receiver, Seller irrevocable waives: (i) any bond and any surety or security relating to Collateral 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 the Collateral; and (iii) any requirement that Buyer retain possession of and not dispose of any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (b) Require Seller to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Buyer at a place or places to be designated by Buyer which is reasonably convenient to Buyer and Seller, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Buyer may deem advisable; (c) Sell, reclaim, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral in its condition at the time Buyer obtains possession, and to adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Buyer 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 will not relieve Seller of any liability Seller may have if any Collateral is defective as to title or physical condition at the time of sale; or (d) Demand payment of, and collect any Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, Supporting Obligations and General Intangibles comprising part or all of the Collateral. Any and all attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Buyer with respect to the foregoing will be added to and become part of the Obligations and will be due on demand.

21. Online Access. Seller will provide Buyer with access to the Online Portals of all Payors of Purchased Digital Advertising Receivables to have Online Portals. Seller acknowledges that the information Buyer makes available to Seller through online internet access constitutes and satisfies any duty to respond to a request for accounting or request regarding a statement of account that is referenced in the UCC.

22. Standards of Commercial Reasonableness. After an Event of Default, the Parties acknowledge that it will be presumed commercially reasonable and Buyer shall have no duty to undertake to collect any Digital Ad Receivable, including those in which Buyer receives information from an Account Debtor that a dispute exists. Furthermore, in the event Buyer 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, Buyer may at any such time cease any further collection efforts and such action will be considered commercially reasonable. Before Seller may, under any circumstances, seek to hold Buyer responsible for taking any commercially unreasonable action, Seller shall first notify

Proprietary & Confidential

Buyer in writing, of all of the reasons why Seller believes Buyer has acted in any commercially unreasonable manner and advise Buyer of the action that Seller believes Buyer should take.

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

24. Amendment and Waiver. Only a writing signed by the Parties may amend this Agreement. No failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will impair any such right that Buyer may have, nor will any waiver by Buyer be deemed a waiver of any default or breach subsequently occurring. Buyer’s rights and remedies are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any rights or remedies that Buyer would otherwise have.

25. Termination; Effective Date. This Agreement will be effective on the date it is signed by the Parties, will continue for the Term, and will be automatically extended for successive Terms unless Seller provides a Termination Notice to Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended termination date, at which point this Agreement will terminate on the date set forth in said notice (“Early Termination Date”). No termination hereunder will be effective unless all Obligations have been paid to Buyer in full. Buyer may terminate this Agreement and demand immediate payment of all outstanding Obligations at any time and for any reason.In the event of termination (i) by Seller or (ii) by Buyer as a result of an Event of Default by Seller, Seller, in addition to all other Obligations then due, shall immediately pay to Buyer the Early Termination Fee.

26. No Lien Termination without Release. Notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Seller, Buyer will not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of Buyer'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.

27. Conflict. Unless otherwise expressly stated in any other agreement between Buyer and Seller, if a conflict exists between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of such other agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will control.

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

29. Savings Clause. Notwithstanding that the Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are sales of Digital Ad Receivables and not loans, if any court or forum recharacterizes the transactions contemplated under this Agreement as loan transactions and any fees and expenses provided for hereunder are recharacterized as interest, then at no time will Seller be obligated or required to pay the amount of any such recharacterized fees or expenses that if paid could subject Buyer to either civil or criminal liability as a result of the recharacterized fees and expenses causing Seller to contract or agree to pay an interest rate that is greater than maximum rate permitted by law. In all events, however, Seller shall pay and Buyer shall be entitled to receive the maximum amount of all the fees and expenses due pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the receipt of those fees and expenses would not subject Buyer to either civil or criminal liability.
