1.5.            Financial Condition. Merchant and Guarantor(s) (as hereinafter defined) authorize Purchaser and its agents to investigate their financial responsibility and history and will provide to Purchaser any bank or financial statements, tax returns, and other relevant information, as Purchaser deems necessary in its sole and absolute discretion prior to or at any time after execution of this Agreement.

Purchaser is authorized to update such information and financial profiles from time to time as it deems appropriate.

 

1.6.            Transactional History; Card Processor. Merchant authorizes all of their banks and brokers to provide Purchaser with Merchant’s banking, brokerage and/or processing history, including, but not limited to, credit card processing, to determine qualification or continuation in this program.

If Merchant has entered into a payment card processing agreement before the date of this Agreement, Merchant may request that Purchaser review such agreement and any other information it deems pertinent for approval of the existing payment card processor in the sole and absolute discretion of Purchaser.

 

 

 

 

1.7.            Indemnification. Merchant and Guarantor(s) jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Processor, its officers, directors and shareholders against all losses, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Processor resulting from (a) claims asserted by Purchaser for monies owed to Purchaser from Merchant and (b) actions taken by Processor in reliance upon information or instructions provided by Purchaser.

In the event these claims are nonetheless raised, Merchant and Guarantor(s) will be jointly and severally liable for all of Purchaser’s legal fees and expenses resulting therefrom.

 

1.9.            Reliance on Terms. Sections 1.1, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.5 of this Agreement are agreed to for the benefit of Merchant, Purchaser and Processor, and notwithstanding the fact that Processor is not a party of this Agreement, Processor may rely upon their terms and raise them as a defense in any action.

 

1.10.          Sale of Future Receipts. Merchant is selling a portion of a Future Receipts to Purchaser at a discount, nor borrowing money from Purchaser. Merchant agrees that the Purchase Price is in exchange for the Future Receipts pursuant to this Agreement, and that it equals the fair market value of such Future Receipts. There is no interest rate or payment schedule and not time period during which the Purchase Amount must be collected by Purchaser. Merchant going bankrupt or going out of business, in and of itself, does not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Purchaser is entering into this Agreement knowing the risks that Merchant’s business may slow down or fail, and Purchaser assumes these risks based on Merchant’s representations, warranties and covenant in this Agreement, which are designed to give Purchaser a reasonable and fair opportunity to receive the benefit of its bargain. Merchant and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price under this Agreement is in exchange for the Purchased Amount and that such Purchase Price is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as a loan or otherwise borrowing money from Purchaser to Merchant. Merchant agrees that the Purchase Price is in exchange for the Future Receipts purchased pursuant to this Agreement and further that the Future Receipts equal the fair market value of such Future Receipts.

Payments made to Purchaser in respect to the full amount of the Future Receipts shall be conditioned upon Merchant’s sale of products and services and the payment therefore by Merchant’s customers in the manner provided in Section 1.1. In no event shall the aggregate of all amounts or any portion thereof be deemed as interest hereunder and in no event, if is found to be interest despite the parties hereto specifically that it is NOT interest – it shall be found that no sum charged or collected hereunder shall exceed the highest rate permissible at law. In the event that a court nonetheless determines that Purchaser has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest rate allowed by law, then the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and Purchaser shall promptly refund to Merchant any interest received by Purchaser in excess of the maximum lawful rate, it being intended that Merchant not pay or contract to pay, and that Purchaser not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Merchant under applicable law. As a result, Merchant knowingly and willingly waives the defense of usury in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement.

 

1.11.          Power of Attorney. Merchant irrevocably appoints Purchaser as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to Purchaser from Processor, or in the case of a violation by Merchant of Section 1.12 or the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 4 hereof, from Merchant, under this Agreement, including without limitation: (i) to obtain and adjust insurance; (ii) to collect monies due or to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (iii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, notes, drafts, instruments, documents or chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or clause (ii) above; (iv) to sign Merchant’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, or assignment directing customers or account debtors to make payment directly to Purchaser; and (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding which Purchaser may deem necessary for the collection of any of the unpaid Purchased Amount from the Collateral, or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to payment of the Purchased Amount.

This is not a guaranty of payment by customers, but is a guaranty of full, adequate and good faith due diligence investigation and credit check of customers before extending credit to them and continuing no less frequently than monthly so long as sums are still due and owing.

 

2.15.          Payment Methods. Merchant is a business that regularly accepts payments from credit cards, debit cards, bank cards, gift cards, and charge cards as a means by which its customers pay Merchant for amounts due whether for goods sold, services rendered, or in satisfaction of other amounts owed. Furthermore, Merchant shall not take any action to discourage the use of credit cards, debit cards, bank cards, gift cards, and charge cards which are settled though Processor or to permit any event to occur which could have an adverse effect on the use, acceptance, or authorization of credit cards, debit cards, bank cards, gift cards, and charge cards for the purchase of Merchant’s services and products. Any and all payment processing terminals and/or point of sale systems shall be approved by Purchaser and programmed to process only through Processor.

Merchant hereby agrees that, until Purchaser has received the Purchase Amount, Purchaser shall have the right to perform ongoing read-only electronic monitoring of transactions occurring in the approved Account and Merchant's account with the Processor. Merchant agrees to provide Purchaser all required online access codes for the Account. If Purchaser's electronic (online) access to Merchant's Account or is disabled for any reason, Merchant shall immediately and diligently undertake all steps required of it to restore Purchaser's access to both accounts.

 

2.17.          Accounting Records and Tax Returns. Merchant shall treat receipt of the Purchase Amount and delivery of the Specified Percentage of Future Receipts in a manner consistent with its nature as a true sale of Future Receipts in its accounting records and tax returns and further agrees that Purchaser is entitled to audit Merchant's accounting records upon reasonable notice in order to verify compliance. Merchant hereby waives any rights of privacy, confidentiality, or taxpayer privilege in any litigation or arbitration arising out of this Agreement in which Merchant asserts that this transaction is anything other than a sale of future receipts.

 

2.18.          No Other Assignment or Sale of Receivables. Merchant has not entered into any other agreement for the sale of Future Receivables and/or cash advance agreements except as disclosed to Purchaser in writing prior to the execution of this Agreement. Merchant has not and shall not enter into any other agreement for the sale of Future Receivables and/or cash advance agreements without Purchaser’s advance written consent, which may be withheld, denied, and/or conditioned in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Merchant has not accepted and shall not accept any cash advances absent Purchaser’s advance written consent, which may be withheld, denied, and/or conditioned in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Merchant has not entered into any financing or factoring agreement, except as disclosed to Purchaser in writing prior to the execution of this Agreement. Merchant shall not enter into any financing or factoring agreement without Purchaser’s advance written consent, which may be withheld, denied, and/or conditioned in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that this is not a loan and agrees that it will not enter into any agreement with a third party that offers debt restructuring, debt settlement, debt management, debt balance reduction, creditor reduction, creditor negotiation, financial mitigation, or other similar services, as they are not applicable to this Agreement.

 

2.19.          Insufficient Funds. In the event that Merchant’s Bank Account does not have adequate funds available to cover the Daily Retrieval to be delivered to Purchaser, Merchant must provide advance written notice to Purchaser. If any attempted ACH debit is rejected because the account is considered to have Non-Sufficient Funds (hereafter “NSF”) then Purchaser will assess the NSF Fee set forth in the Fee Structure Addendum per each occurrence, to be automatically debited from Merchant’s Bank Account.

 

2.20.          Ongoing ACH Authorization. Merchant shall not attempt to revoke its ACH authorization to Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or otherwise take any measure to interfere with Purchaser’s ability to collect the Daily Retrieval or any other monies that Purchaser is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement.

 

2.21.          Maintenance of Accounts; Access. Merchant shall not close Merchant’s Bank Account or the Approved Account (or change the bank account into which Processor deposits the Future Receivables) to another account without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which may be withheld, denied, and/or conditioned in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event that Merchant changes Merchant’s Bank Account or the Approved Account without Purchaser’s prior written consent, Merchant shall, in addition to paying any other damages suffered by Purchaser, pay to Purchaser the Blocked Account Fee as liquidated damages, as it will be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the resulting damages suffered by Purchaser. Merchant shall not take any action to block Purchaser’s access Merchant’s Account.

Merchant represents and warrants that it has no current plans to close its business either temporarily (for renovations, repairs or any other purpose), or permanently. Merchant agrees that, until Purchaser receives the Purchase Amount, Merchant will not voluntarily close its business on a permanent or temporary basis for renovations, repairs, or any other purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merchant shall have the right to close its business temporarily if such closing is necessitated by a requirement to conduct renovations or repairs imposed upon Merchant's business by legal authorities having jurisdiction over Merchant's business (such as from a health department or fire department) or if such closing is necessitated by circumstances outside Merchant's reasonable control. Prior to any such temporary closure of its business, Merchant shall provide Purchaser ten (10) business days' advance notice, or as much notice as reasonably possible under the circumstances.

 

2.24.          Taxes. Merchant has paid, and will continue to pay, all necessary local, state, and federal taxes and fees, including, without limitation, income, employment, sales and use taxes, imposed upon Merchant's business by law, and will maintain workers compensation insurance required by applicable governmental authorities.

1. SECURITY INTEREST.

 

a. Security. To secure Merchant’s payment and performance obligations to Nebula Asset Holdings LLC, a New York limited liability company pursuant to that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Future Receivables executed by and between the above-named Merchant and Purchaser (the “Agreement”), as security for the prompt and complete performance of any and all obligations, covenants, and agreements of Merchant under the Agreement, now or hereafter arising from, out of, or relating to the Agreement, whether direct, indirect, contingent or otherwise (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Merchant Obligations"), Merchant hereby grants to Purchaser a security interest in all assets now owned, or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation: (a) all accounts, including without limitation, all deposit accounts, accounts-receivable, and other receivables, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments, and inventory, as those terms are defined by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”), now or hereafter owned or acquired by Merchant; and (b) all proceeds, as that term is defined by Article 9 of the UCC (“a” and “b” collectively, the “Collateral”). Merchant understands that Purchaser has the right to take delivery of the Future Receipts purchased as they are generated in the ordinary course of business. The Security Interest granted in this section is being given solely for the purpose of ensuring that Merchant does not take any action to deprives Purchaser of that right. This Security Interest does not mean that Purchaser has made a loan to Merchant, does not create a debt, and does not make Merchant a debtor or Purchaser a creditor.

 

b. Further Assurances. Merchant and Guarantor(s) each agrees to execute any documents or take any action in connection with this Security Agreement and Guaranty as Purchaser deems necessary or reasonable to perfect or maintain Purchaser’s first priority security interest in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the execution of any account control agreements. Merchant and Guarantor each hereby authorizes Purchaser to file any financing statements deemed necessary or desirable by Purchaser to perfect or maintain Purchaser’s security interest, which financing statement may contain notification that Merchant and Guarantor(s) each have granted a negative pledge to Purchaser with respect to the Collateral, and that any subsequent lienor may be tortuously interfering with Purchaser’s rights. Merchant and Guarantor(s) shall each be liable for, and Purchaser may charge and collect any and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, which may be incurred by Purchaser in protecting, preserving and/or enforcing Purchaser’s security interests and rights. Merchant and Guarantor each acknowledge that Purchaser may use another legal name and/or d/b/a when designating the secured party when Purchaser files the above-referenced financing statement(s).

 

c. Financing Statements. Merchant authorizes Purchaser to file one or more UCC-1 forms consistent with the UCC to give notice that the Amount Sold is the sole property of Purchaser. The UCC filing may state that such sale is intended to be a sale and not an assignment for security and may state that Merchant is prohibited from obtaining any financing that impairs the value of the Amount Sold or Purchaser's ability to collect same. Merchant authorizes Purchaser to debit the Bank, for all costs incurred by Purchaser associated with the filing, amendment or termination of any UCC filings.

 

d. Negative Pledge. Merchant and Guarantor(s) each agrees not to create, incur, assume, or permit to exist, directly or indirectly, any lien on or with respect to any of the Collateral.

 

e. Acknowledgement of Security Interest. The Future Receipts sold by Merchant to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are "accounts" or "payment intangibles" as those terms are defined in the UCC in effect in the state in which Merchant is located. Such Sale shall constitute and shall be construed and treated for all purposes as a true and complete sale, conveying good title to the Future Receipts free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from Merchant to Purchaser. To the extent the Future Receipts are "accounts" or "payment intangibles" then (i) the sale of the Future Receipts creates a security interest as defined in the UCC; (ii) this Agreement constitutes a "security agreement" under the UCC; and (iii) Purchaser has all the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such Future Receipts. Merchant further agrees that, with or without an Event of Default, Purchaser may notify account debtors, or other persons obligated on the Future Receipts, on holding the Future Receipts of Merchant's sale of the Future Receipts and may instruct them to make payment or otherwise render performance to or for the benefit of Purchaser.

 

 

 

 

f.  Termination of Pledge. Upon the performance by Merchant in full of the Merchant Obligations, the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge shall automatically terminate without any further act of either party being required, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Merchant. Upon any such termination, Purchaser will execute, acknowledge (where applicable) and deliver such satisfactions, releases and termination statements, as Merchant shall reasonably request.

 

g. Representations with Respect to Collateral. Merchant hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that: the execution, delivery and performance by Merchant of this Pledge, and the remedies in respect of the Collateral under this Pledge (i) have been duly authorized; (ii) do not require the approval of any governmental authority or other third party or require any action of, or filing with, any governmental authority or other third party to authorize same (other than the filing of the UCC-1s); (iii) do not and shall not (A) violate or result in the breach of any provision of law or regulation, any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority, or (B) violate, result in the breach of or constitute a default under or conflict with any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or any other instrument to which Merchant is a party or by which any of Merchant's assets (including, without limitation, the Collateral) are bound.

 

h. Attorney-in-fact. Merchant hereby authorizes Purchaser at any time to take any action and to execute any instrument, including without limitation to file one or more financing statements and/or continuation statements, to evidence and perfect the security interest created hereby and irrevocably appoints Purchaser as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Merchant and in the name of Merchant or otherwise, from time to time, in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, including without limitation (a) for the purpose of executing such statements in the name of and on behalf of Merchant, and thereafter filing any such financing and/or continuation statements and (b) to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to Merchant.

 

2. GUARANTY

 

a. Personal Guaranty of Performance. The undersigned Guarantor(s) hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Purchaser, the prompt, full and faithful performance of all of the representations, warranties, covenants made by Merchant in the Agreement and this Security Agreement and Guaranty, as each agreement may be renewed, amended, extended or otherwise modified (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor’s obligations are due (i) at the time of any breach by Merchant of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by Merchant in the Agreement and this Security Agreement and Guaranty, and (ii) at the time Merchant admits its inability to pay its debts, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Merchant seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of it or its debts.

 

b. Guarantor Waivers. In the event that Merchant fails to make a payment or perform any obligation when due under the Agreement or this Security Agreement and Guaranty, Purchaser may enforce its rights under this Security Agreement and Guaranty without first seeking to obtain payment from Merchant, any other guarantor, or any Collateral Purchaser may hold pursuant to this Agreement or any other guaranty. Guarantor understands that Purchaser will have a security interest in the Collateral upon execution of this Agreement. Additionally, Guarantor waives the right to require Purchaser to: (i) proceed first against Merchant; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security that Purchaser holds from Merchant; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in Purchaser’s power. Guarantor waives any defense by reason of any disability of Merchant, and waives any other defense based on the termination of Merchant's liability from any cause. Additionally, Guarantor shall have no right to subrogation. Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Purchaser now has or may hereafter have against Merchant, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Purchaser. Guarantor waives its right to enforce any remedies that Purchaser now has, or later may have, against Merchant. Guarantor waives any right to participate in any security now or later held by Purchaser. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and waives all notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional obligations. “Guarantor” as used in this Security Agreement and Guaranty include the heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor. If there is more than one Guarantor, "Guarantor" in this Agreement shall mean all Guarantors and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

c. Guarantor's Representations. Guarantor represents and warrants to Purchaser that: (i) Guarantor is an owner, officer, or manager of Merchant and will directly benefit from Purchaser and Merchant entering into the Agreement; and (ii) Guarantor understands and acknowledges that Purchaser is not willing to enter into the Agreement unless Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees prompt and complete performance of any and all liabilities, obligations, covenants or agreements of Merchant under this Agreement, now or hereafter arising from, out of or relating to this Agreement, whether direct, indirect, contingent or otherwise.

 

d. Guarantor's Other Agreements. Guarantor will not dispose, convey, sell or otherwise transfer, or cause Merchant to dispose, convey, sell or otherwise transfer, any material business assets of Merchant without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be withheld for any reason, until Purchaser has received the Purchase Amount. Guarantor shall pay to Purchaser upon demand all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred as the result of, or incidental to, or relating to, the enforcement or protection of Purchaser's rights against Merchant and Guarantor under the Agreement. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor's heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by the successors an assign of Purchaser. The obligation of Guarantor shall be unconditional and absolute, regardless of the unenforceability of any provision of any agreement between Merchant and Purchaser, or the existence of any defense, setoff or counterclaim, which Merchant may assert. Purchaser is hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder, to at any time renew or extend Merchant's obligations under the Agreement or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of the Agreement.

 

 

 

 

e. Acknowledgment of Purchase. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser to Merchant in exchange for the Amount Sold is adequate consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Amount and is not a loan or financial accommodation from Purchaser to Merchant. Guarantor specifically acknowledges Purchaser is not a lender, bank, or credit card processor, and that Purchaser has not offered any loans to Merchant. Guarantor waives any claims or defenses of usury in any action arising out of this Agreement.

b. Purchaser does not have to notify Guarantor of any of the following events, and Guarantor will not be released from its obligations under this Security Agreement and Guaranty if it is not notified of: (i) Merchant’s failure to pay timely any amount owed under the Agreement; (ii) any adverse change in Merchant’s financial condition or business; (iii) any sale or other disposition of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) Purchaser’s acceptance of this Security Agreement and Guaranty; and (v) any renewal, extension or other modification of the Agreement or Merchant’s other obligations to Purchaser. In addition, Purchaser may take any of the following actions without releasing Guarantor from any of its obligations under this Security Agreement and Guaranty: (i) renew, extend or otherwise modify the Agreement or any of the Merchant’s other obligations to Purchaser; (ii) release Merchant from its obligations to Purchaser; (iii) sell, release, impair, waive or otherwise fail to realize upon any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (iv) foreclose on any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations in a manner that impairs or precludes the right of Guarantor to obtain reimbursement for payment under this Security Agreement and Guaranty. Until the Merchant Amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest and Merchant’s other obligations to Purchaser under the Agreement and this Security Agreement and Guaranty are paid in full, Guarantor shall not seek reimbursement from Merchant or any other guarantor for any amounts paid by it under this Security Agreement and Guaranty. Guarantor permanently and irrevocably waives and shall not seek to exercise any of the following rights that it may have against Merchant, any other guarantor, or any collateral provided by Merchant or any other guarantor, for any amounts paid by it, or acts performed by it, under this Security Agreement and Guaranty: (i) subrogation; (ii) reimbursement; (iii) performance; (iv) indemnification; or (v) contribution. In the event that Purchaser must return any amount paid by Merchant or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations because that person has become subject to a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, Guarantor’s obligations under this Security Agreement and Guaranty shall include that amount.

 

4. SEVERABILITY. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction finds any provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Guarantor to be void or voidable, the parties agree that the court may reform such provision(s) to render the provision(s) enforceable ensuring that the restrictions and prohibitions contained in those provisions shall be effective to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law.

 

5. OPPORTUNITY FOR ATTORNEY REVIEW. The Merchant and Guarantor(s) acknowledge that, in executing this Security Agreement and Guaranty, each has been advised to seek the advice of independent legal counsel. Furthermore, Merchant and Guarantor(s) acknowledge and agree, that prior to executing this Security Agreement and Guaranty, have had the opportunity to seek the advice of independent legal counsel and have either obtained the advice of independent legal counsel or affirmatively chosen not to seek the advice of independent legal counsel, and have read and understood all of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement and Guaranty. This Security Agreement and Guaranty shall not be construed against any party by reason of the drafting or preparation hereof.

 

 

 

 

6. NO WAIVER. It is agreed that the delay or failure of Purchaser to insist in any one or more instances upon a strict performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or covenants of the Agreement or this Security Agreement and Guaranty or to exercise any right therein contained shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such or any other term, provision, covenant or right, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. Holder shall not be deemed by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is set forth in writing.

 

7. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. The obligations hereunder of the persons or entities constituting Guarantor under this Agreement are joint and several.

 

8. ATTORNEY’S FEES. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Security Agreement and Guaranty, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding (including attorneys' fees and costs on appeal), in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
