Supplier shall thereupon be immediately deemed to have offered to sell to PCF, for the Purchase Price, the applicable Participation Percentage of all of the Available Receivables represented by the available earnings and the approved payables so created.

Without limitation, Supplier acknowledges and agrees that the sale of a Purchased Receivable is complete and effective upon the initial Advance for such Purchased Receivable being made available to the Supplier’s Payability Account.

3.7 No (credit) Recourse for financial inability to pay. Supplier sells, assigns, transfers, conveys, and delivers each Purchased Receivable and PCF buys each Purchased Receivable from Supplier under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement without recourse, meaning that PCF accepts only the Credit Risk that PCF cannot collect the Purchased Receivable from the Marketplace obligated thereon or the Designated ACH Debit Bank Account, as applicable, solely because the Marketplace obligated thereon suffers a Credit Event; i.e., is financially unable to pay thereon.
3.8 Full Recourse for all other events. Without limitation of Section 3.7, if: (i) any representation or warranty made by Supplier to PCF with respect to any Purchased Receivable is false or incorrect as of the Funding Date of such Purchased Receivable, (ii) after the Funding Date, the outstanding principal balance of a Purchased Receivable is (a) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or returned Goods or Services, any discount, credit or any adjustment or otherwise, for any reason, by Supplier, or (b) reduced or cancelled as a result of a set-off in respect of any claim by any person or entity (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), (iii) any Purchased Receivable is not collected by PCF in full as a result of a Dispute, or (iv) if any Purchased Receivable is otherwise not collectible by PCF in full other than due solely to Credit Risk assumed by PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement, then PCF shall no longer have any Credit Risk thereon and PCF shall have full recourse to Supplier thereon, including, without limitation, under Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of these Terms. You agree to notify us, in writing, immediately upon becoming aware of a Dispute and to give us full details thereof.

Upon each Batch being closed, upon PCF’s collection (or deemed collection) from the Marketplace or the Designated ACH Debit Bank Account, as applicable, of all Purchased Receivables in a particular Batch after the close of the given month, or PCF’s charge-back to Supplier or otherwise crediting the Purchased Receivables in the Batch (“Batch Closure”), PCF will, on the subsequent Purchase Date after Batch Closure, make a balance payment to Supplier (each a “Balance Payment”) in the same manner as the initial Advance is paid under Section 3.5 above, i.e., to the Supplier’s designated bank account or to the Supplier’s Payability Account, in which event the Supplier may deposit the Balance Payment either to a pre-funded MasterCard or directly to Supplier’s bank account through the Payability System. Such Balance Payment shall be equal to (i) the Purchase Price payable by PCF in respect of the Purchased Receivables in the Batch, minus (ii) PCF’s prior Advances on Purchased Receivables included within the Batch, minus (iii) unpaid Chargebacks, Indemnity Obligations and any other indebtedness due by Supplier to PCF, including bank and transfer fees as detailed in the Funding Particulars. For this purpose, it is agreed that PCF shall be “deemed” to have collected each Purchased Receivable in the Batch not yet collected upon the earlier of (but in any event not before the maturity date when the Purchased Receivable is due to be paid by the respective Marketplace obligated thereon): (a) the bankruptcy of the Marketplace obligated thereon or (b) 150 days from maturity of the Purchased Receivable, provided that, in the case of both (a) and (b), the Purchased Receivable is not subject to any Dispute and is not otherwise outside PCF’s assumed Credit Risk.

Supplier represents that it has supplied such information to Payability Operations on or prior to the date thereof and that Supplier will hereafter keep such information up-to-date. PCF is not responsible for delays in the electronic transfer of funds.
3.11 Approval to Fund. Delivery of the Electronic Earnings Data from a Marketplace to the Payability API together with any Update Adjustments thereto shall be deemed to constitute an irrevocable approval from Supplier for PCF to purchase and fund, in PCF’s discretion, each Available Receivable. Supplier represents to PCF that each such Available Receivable is payable without defense, offset, recoupment or counterclaim by the respective Marketplace obligated thereon.
3.12 Approved Currency. The Approved Currency shall be used for all transactions under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement and these Terms. The Parties agree that Payability Operations and/or PCF shall, as needed, convert all invoices, purchases, indebtedness, fees, costs and payments which are in currencies other than the Approved Currency to the Approved Currency, except as otherwise provided herein. The Parties further agree that, in the event that the Supplier wishes to be paid in a currency other than the Approved Currency and PCF specifically agrees to the same, in a written document signed by an authorized representative of PCF, Payability Operations and/or PCF may, in their discretion, convert all invoices, purchases, indebtedness, fees, costs and payments to the requested currency.

3.13 True Sale of Receivables/Security Agreement. Each transfer, sale and assignment of Purchased Receivables and other Conveyed Property to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement shall constitute an absolute and irrevocable sale of such Purchased Receivables and the related Conveyed Property to PCF in a true sale and provide PCF with all right, title and interest in, and the full benefits of ownership of, the Purchased Receivables, together with all other Conveyed Property related thereto. Supplier relinquishes all right, title, interest and control over the Purchased Receivables and such Conveyed Property upon the sale of the Purchased Receivables to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement. Supplier represents and warrants to PCF that PCF shall hold a first-priority security interest in all Purchased Receivables and other Conveyed Property, as buyer and owner thereof. The Supplier Early Payment Agreement is acknowledged to be a Security Agreement and, without limitation thereof, it is agreed that PCF shall take a first priority security interest thereunder under the UCC, as the buyer and owner, of all the Purchased Receivables and the other Conveyed Property sold to PCF hereunder, to the extent the Purchased Receivables are not later charged-back, in whole or in part..
3.14 Character of Advances. Advances made by PCF to Supplier under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement shall be treated as a non-interest bearing partial pre-payments of PCF’s contractual Purchase Price of the subject Purchased Receivables and not as loans by PCF to Supplier, subject to Section 3.15.
3.15 Recharacterization. It is not the intention of Supplier or PCF that the conveyance of the Purchased Receivables and the other Conveyed Property by Supplier to PCF hereunder be deemed to be a grant of a security interest in the Purchased Receivables and such Conveyed Property related thereto by Supplier to PCF as collateral security to secure a debt or other obligation of Supplier to PC; rather, as aforesaid, the Parties both intend that PCF shall hold a security and ownership interest in the Purchased Receivables and the other Conveyed Property, both those sold on the date hereof and those later conveyed, as the buyer and owner thereof, in a true-sale. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the Parties, any Purchased Receivable(s) are determined to be the property of Supplier or its bankruptcy estate, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction final beyond appeal, then without derogation of the Parties’ intention that the sale of Purchased Receivables by Supplier to PCF hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof: (i) the transfers and conveyances by Supplier provided for this under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by Supplier to PCF and its assigns as lender, of a security interest in and to all of Supplier’s right, title and interest in, to and under the all Receivables owing by the respective Marketplaces to the Supplier and in the proceeds thereof, both now existing and later arising, as collateral security to secure: (1) the rights of PCF hereunder, and (2) a loan by PCF to Supplier in the amount of the Advances, and (3) all other indebtedness and Obligations owed by Supplier to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement. Supplier and PCF shall each take such actions as may be necessary so that the security and ownership interests granted to PCF herein shall at all times be a perfected security interest of first priority in favor of PCF under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Supplier Early Payment Agreement.
3.16 Review and Suspension of Payments by Marketplace. Marketplaces who have Marketplace Agreements with PCF may, from time to time, request that PCF delay or prevent Funding any Receivables owed to Supplier for the applicable Funding Periods (a “Payment Suspension Request”). It is understood that PCF will use reasonable efforts to avoid purchasing any Receivables upon receiving a Payment Suspension Request. After a Payment Suspension Request, PCF agrees to work with the subject Marketplace to resolve such payment dispute and issue payments, if any, as promptly as reasonably possible. Supplier consents to Marketplaces sending Payment Suspension Requests to PCF.
3.17 Non-Purchased Receivables. To the extent that PCF does not purchase all Available Receivables on any Funding Date, PCF shall not be obligated to make any payment against the Non-Purchased Receivables in question unless and until PCF subsequently actually receives full and final payment in good funds on such Non-Purchased Receivables, in which event the funds received on account of such Non-Purchased Receivables are to be disbursed pursuant to Section 5 below.
3.18 Payment by Marketplace to PCF. Supplier agrees to immediately modify, or allow Payability Operations to modify, its existing payment information with the various Marketplaces to cause PCF to be paid directly for the Purchased Receivables through each Marketplace’s electronic payment systems. Without limitation, Supplier agrees to immediately grant, or allow Payability Operations to grant to itself authorization, permission, and access for PCF and Payability Operations to Supplier’s Login Credentials within the respective Marketplace’s system, by providing a login, password, role access, and any other access sufficient to ensure that PCF is paid electronically for the Purchased Receivables and Supplier also agrees that PCF and Payability Operations may monitor and ensure that such access or payment information is not changed or altered in any way.
3.19 Direction to Marketplaces. Supplier directs and instructs each Marketplace to remit payment for all Receivables owed by such Marketplace to Supplier (both on Purchased Receivables and on Non-Purchased Receivables) directly to PCF. Supplier further authorizes PCF to deal directly with the respective Marketplaces, in the place of Supplier, both regarding all Purchased Receivables and all other Conveyed Property, as PCF’s sole property, together with, after any Default under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement, the Non-Purchased Receivables, to the fullest extent allowable by law and in accordance with, and in furtherance of, Section 17 hereof, as well as any Purchased Receivables charged back by PCF to Supplier, in which PCF shall retain a security interest thereon, as, at that point, lender as to such accounts charged-back. Each Marketplace shall be entitled to rely upon the Supplier Early Payment Agreement which PCF may send to it, in PCF’s discretion, in sending payments directly to PCF and may enforce these Terms against Supplier as applicable and plead them as a defense to any action brought by Supplier regarding such payments. Each Marketplace is an intended beneficiary of this Section 3.19.
4.1 Reserve. PCF shall, on the date of its initial funding to Supplier with respect to any Purchased Receivables, withhold and credit to an unallocated non-interest bearing bookkeeping account on PCF’s books and records an amount equal to the difference between the Purchase Price for the subject Purchased Receivables and PCF’s (lesser) initial Advance against the same, and PCF may also, in its discretion, establish other set-asides, reductions or reserves from time to time in connection with the accommodations offered by PCF to Supplier under this Agreement (all of the foregoing, net of the various other debits and credits to the Supplier’s account with PCF over time arising from transactions under this Agreement being, collectively, the “Reserve”), provided, however, that in no event shall PCF set up any reserves for, nor charge reserves of any kind for or with, losses of PCF arising from Credit Risk assumed by PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement or for PCF’s costs to collect Receivables purchased at PCF’s Credit Risk and not charged-back. The Reserve held by PCF shall, among other things, serve as collateral security for Chargebacks and other indebtedness and Obligations due by Supplier to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement, but shall not secure PCF’s assumed Credit Risk. Supplier grants to PCF the right to set-off any indebtedness owed by Supplier to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement or under any associated agreement against amounts owed by PCF to Supplier including, without limitation, the Reserve, but, again, such debt in no event shall include credit losses of PCF arising from Credit Risk assumed by PCF under this Agreement nor the costs of PCF to collect Purchased Receivables not charged-back.
4.2 Chargebacks and Adjustments for Marketplace Credits. In the event that any Marketplace does not, whether in whole or in part, pay a Purchased Receivable for any reason other than, solely, Credit Risk assumed by PCF hereunder, which reason may include, without limitation, non-payment by reason of a Dispute or in the event that Supplier breaches any representation or warranty to PCF with respect to a Purchased Receivable or because of the payment of a Purchased Receivable by Marketplace to any person other than PCF, PCF may, in its discretion, chargeback to Supplier the subject Receivable (a “Chargeback”), thereby creating indebtedness of Supplier to PCF included in the Obligations, equal to the full uncollected amount of the Purchased Receivable so charged-back plus PCF’s associated fees and charges thereon, and the subject Receivable shall then become a Non-Purchased Receivable and the credit risk thereon shall then be that of Supplier. A Chargeback shall not release PCF’s security interest, now as lender, in the subject Receivable so charged back until the Chargeback is fully paid and satisfied.
Supplier shall, without limitation of Section 4.3 below, be responsible to pay PCF for the amount of any credit taken by a Marketplace against any Purchased Receivable by reason of a back charge, set-off, reduction, recoupment or similar adjustment asserted or effected by the Marketplace on the basis of (i) any claim of defective, rejected, returned merchandise or poor quality of Goods or Services, any cash discount or adjustment taken by the Supplier, (ii) any other disputes or claims with respect to the quality, dollar amounts or quantity of the Purchased Receivables, or their terms or price, or otherwise concerning the Supplier’s delivery of Goods or Services giving rise to the subject Receivables; or (iii) any other claim by the Marketplace against the Supplier (whether out of the same or an unrelated transaction), within two (2) Business Days of such event occurring, and if Supplier fails to do so such unpaid credit shall be included in the Obligations and immediately due and payable by Supplier to PCF, provided further that PCF may also, in its discretion, chargeback the entire Purchased Receivable in question to Supplier (in such event such Supplier shall thereupon repurchase it for the price stated in the preceding paragraph of this Section 4.2 above).
4.3 PCF’s Further Indemnity Rights. Supplier agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless PCF and its successors, assigns, directors, officers, members, agents, attorneys and employees from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses of any kind, including attorney’s fees, caused by or arising from (i) all Disputes or claims by Marketplace or any other person claiming an interest in the Purchased Receivables in which PCF acquires an ownership interest under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement or with respect to any Non-Purchased Receivables pledged to PCF as collateral security, (ii) any breach of Supplier’s representation and warranties, duties or covenants under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement; (iii) any claims against PCF by any federal, state, or local official or authority, or any other person, seeking the turnover by PCF of monies collected by PCF from any Marketplace on Non-Purchased Receivables, and (iv) all collection expenses and legal fees incurred by PCF with respect to any of the foregoing, or otherwise arising from PCF’s administration or enforcement of the Supplier Early Payment Agreement and PCF’s rights hereunder, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees, collection agent fees and other internal costs incurred in preparing, issuing and managing any notice of assignment and subsequent coordination with a Marketplace resulting from diversion of Supplier revenue in an Account maintained with the germane Marketplace; provided, however, for clarity, that this indemnity shall in no event extend to credit losses incurred by PCF arising solely from Credit Risk assumed by PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement or to or for the costs of PCF to collect Purchased Receivables not charged back. PCF may also charge Supplier for any payment received by PCF on a Non-Purchased Receivable if PCF has to subsequently disgorge the subject payment to a third-party by reason of any breach of any Supplier representation, warranty, duty or covenant, or by reason of such payment being a voidable preference under the Bankruptcy Code. Supplier’s liabilities to PCF under this Section 4.3 (“Indemnity Obligations”) and that of any other person responsible for the Obligations under this Section, such as guarantors, shall constitute part of the Obligations and shall continue notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement.
4.4 Recovery by PCF of Indebtedness due from Supplier arising from Chargebacks, Indemnity Obligations and Otherwise; Set-off and Recoupment rights.
(a) PCF may, in its discretion, recover Chargebacks and Obligations, including Indemnity Obligations, from amounts held by PCF in the Reserve, by PCF making debits to the Reserve prior to making any final payments to the Supplier on the Purchased Receivables in any Batch, and PCF may also set-off and/or recoup against any other property of Supplier in the hands of PCF.
(b) In the event that, at any time, PCF is unable to recover any Chargebacks or Obligations, including Indemnity Obligations, from Supplier via charges by PCF to remaining credit balances in the Reserve under subparagraph (a) above, the Parties agree that PCF may, in PCF’s discretion, upon PCF later purchasing new Receivables arising from Supplier’s subsequent delivery of Goods and Services to the various Marketplaces, purchase such later arising Receivables without PCF making full, or any, cash Advances or other payments to Supplier of the Purchase Price thereon but, rather, with PCF first satisfying all remaining Chargebacks or Obligations still owing to PCF arising from prior purchases, by reduction of monies otherwise due Supplier by PCF attributable to such later Purchased Receivables. Supplier waives its right to dis-enroll from the Payability Program until all Obligations are paid in cash, in full.
(c) Without limitation of (a) and (b) above, in the event that PCF is unable to recover the full amount due on any Chargeback to or Obligations of Supplier to PCF, including Indemnity Obligations, from the Reserve or from Supplier’s future earnings, Supplier and PCF further agree that PCF may, in PCF’s discretion, debit the Supplier’s bank accounts to recover such Chargebacks or Obligations, to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law. Supplier grants PCF such rights and agrees to execute and deliver such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the same, including documents giving PCF ACH rights over such accounts.
(d) In the event that PCF is unable to recover the full indebtedness owed by Supplier to PCF arising from Chargebacks or Obligations, including Indemnity Obligations, by any of the foregoing methods, upon agreement of a Marketplace (and, any Marketplace which has a Marketplace Agreement with PCF shall be deemed to have given such consent), assign to such Marketplace some or all of PCF’s rights against Supplier attributable thereto (including PCF’s lien on any charged-back Receivables), the assignment by PCF to such Marketplace being without recourse (except as expressly provided for in this Agreement), representation or warranty by PCF, whereupon PCF will invoice such Marketplace for the remaining amounts owed by the Supplier and Marketplace shall succeed to the rights so assigned by PCF.
(e) Monies owing to PCF for Chargebacks, Indemnity Obligations and all other indebtedness of Supplier to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement are due on demand and shall bear interest at the Late Payment Rate as provided in Section 7.1 hereof.
7.1 Interest. Indebtedness and other Obligations owed by Supplier to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement shall, if not paid within two (2) Business Days of the date when due (such failure, a “Late Payment”), bear interest at the Late Payment Rate as set forth in these Terms. All indebtedness owed by Supplier to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement, is due on demand. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Supplier Early Payment Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in an order final beyond appeal, deem any Purchasing Commissions, costs, fees or other charges provided for in the Supplier Early Payment Agreement to be interest and such interest is deemed by such court to be in excess of the maximum contract rate permitted by applicable usury law, neither Supplier nor any Guarantor shall be liable to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by law, any such excess which may have been received by PCF shall either by applied against Supplier’s then unpaid monetary Obligations to PCF (other than any such obligations that are deemed to be excessive interest as aforesaid) or at PCF’s option refunded to Supplier, and any portion of any Purchasing Commissions (aka discount fees), costs, fees or charges deemed to be interest by such court shall be automatically reduced to the maximum interest rate allowed by law.
7.2 Purchasing Commissions. PCF shall receive Purchasing Commissions upon PCF’s purchase of the Purchased Receivables, at the rates set forth in the Payability System, as illustrated in Recital D above, subject, however, to a maximum cap on Purchasing Commissions of eight percent (8%.) Purchasing Commissions are earned and applied in full immediately upon PCF’s purchase of the subject Receivables.
7.3 Collateral security/Security Agreement. Supplier hereby grants to PCF a security interest in all Supplier assets of every kind, nature and description, real, personal, tangible and intangible, including, without limitation, all Goods, Inventory, Equipment and accessions thereto, Instruments, Documents, Accounts (other than those sold to PCF herein in a true sale, in which Supplier also grants PCF a security interest, as buyer and owner of the Purchased Receivables and the other Conveyed Property), Chattel Paper, deposit accounts, contract rights (including in the Reserve) and rights to the payment of money, General Intangibles, and the products and proceeds of all of the foregoing (the “Pledged Collateral”), as collateral security for all Obligations and indebtedness owed by Supplier to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement. This Agreement shall serve as a security agreement under Article 9 of the UCC, including for this purpose. Supplier will defend the Collateral against any competing security interests or liens to those of PCF and agrees that PCF may file such UCC-1 financing statements and take such further steps as PCF requires to perfect its ownership and security interests in the Collateral.
7.4 Expense and Cost Reimbursements. Supplier shall pay to PCF all expense and cost reimbursements and other sums due and owing to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement as part of the Obligations. Without limitation thereof, Supplier shall pay to PCF all fees, costs and expenses incurred by PCF, including attorney’s fees, incurred by PCF in connection with the administration and enforcement of the Supplier Early Payment Agreement and any other documents or instruments executed or delivered in connection therewith as part of the Funding Facility, including these Terms, as well as costs or expenses of PCF to: search for and file UCC financing statements, evidence and protect PCF’s various ownership and lien interests received under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement (but, for clarity, there shall be no reimbursement of credit losses incurred by PCF arising from Credit Risk assumed by PCF hereunder nor for PCF’s costs to collect Purchased Receivables not charged back), liquidate any of the Pledged Collateral, eliminate or cure any lack of capacity created by Supplier’s acts that PCF may have in any state to enforce or collect payments due from any Marketplace, including Supplier’s failure to qualify as a foreign entity in any such state or Supplier’s failure to observe any laws or regulations applicable to Supplier or to its assets or the conduct of Supplier’s business, or otherwise incurred by PCF to enforce PCF’s rights under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement, any Marketplace Agreement, and to protect and to preserve PCF’s rights thereunder and hereunder, whether through judicial action, in prosecuting or defending actions arising from PCF’s relationship with Supplier under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement, including actions whereby any third-party asserts a competing interest in the Purchased Receivables, the Collateral, or otherwise. Supplier’s cost and expense reimbursement obligations under this Section 7.4 shall be part of the Obligations owed by Supplier to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement and shall survive the termination of the Supplier Early Payment Agreement.
7.5 Financing Statements. PCF and its successors and assigns are hereby authorized to file UCC-1 financing statements against Supplier (in the place of its residence or state of formation, or as may otherwise be required under the UCC) to reflect and/or perfect the liens and security interest, as owner of the Purchased Receivables, now or hereinafter granted to PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement, in both existing or after-acquired property, or as may otherwise be required in order for PCF to perfect the ownership, lien and other interests received by PCF under the Supplier Early Payment Agreement. In the event that any jurisdiction requires the Supplier’s signature on any such financing statement and/or other documents Supplier authorizes PCF to file such statements or documents on its behalf, as Supplier’s attorney-in-fact, with such power being irrevocable and coupled with an interest, until the Supplier Early Payment Agreement has terminated and all Obligations of Supplier to PCF thereunder have been satisfied in full.

(iii) Supplier agrees to provide to PCF all information required to establish that the above representations are true and correct, to advise PCF immediately in writing of any violation by Supplier of such laws, or any claim by any person that Supplier might violate such laws. Supplier agrees to cooperate with PCF in PCF’s duties under such laws and agrees that PCF may, if it appears that the aforesaid representations of Supplier in this Section 29 are not true, in whole or in part, to cooperate with PCF in remediating the same. Supplier agrees to provide, and further agrees that PCF may release to applicable legal authorities, any information with respect to Supplier and its shareholders, owners, partners, members, subsidiaries, affiliates, family members and relatives as may be required to establish compliance with the foregoing laws.
Supplier further agrees to deliver to PCF copies of Supplier’s driver’s license, documents establishing the identity of Supplier’s shareholders, partners, members or other owners, and all other documents and information required for PCF to comply with its duties under the laws aforesaid.
