(c) Any and all Purchased Accounts shall be purchased on either a Credit Approved or with Full Recourse basis. In the absence of written Credit Approval, the Purchased Accounts shall be purchased at Full Recourse. If Goods are shipped or services are provided based on a verbal approval, it is Seller’s responsibility to ensure that such approval is received in writing in a timely manner. Credit Approval(s) may be withdrawn, either orally or in writing, in FGI’s discretion at any time if, in FGI’s opinion, a Customer’s credit standing becomes impaired before actual delivery of Goods or rendering of services. Credit Approval(s) shall be limited to the specific terms and amounts indicated, and, notwithstanding any information subsequently provided to Seller by FGI, such Credit Approval(s) are automatically rescinded and withdrawn if the terms of sale vary from the terms approved by FGI, or if the terms of sale are changed by Seller without FGI’s written Credit Approval on the new terms, or if the Purchased Account is not assigned to FGI within ten (10) days from the date of the invoice. Seller further acknowledges that if Seller ships Goods or provides services to a customer who has outstanding Accounts from Seller, and such customer’s credit line and/or outstanding Credit Approval(s) have been withdrawn by FGI, and the Accounts created thereby, whether or not they are sold and assigned to FGI, exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount outstanding on FGI’s books, that any Credit Approvals applying to those Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI’s books are cancelled and all outstanding Purchased Accounts from that customer are with Full Recourse.
(d) With regard to sales without Credit Approval or in excess of any Credit Approvals to any given Customer, Seller agrees that any payments or credits applying to any Account owing by such Customer will be applied: first, to any Credit-Approved Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI’s books; second, to any Full Recourse Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI’s books; and, third, to any Accounts outstanding on Seller’s books. This order of payment applies regardless of the respective dates the sales occurred and regardless of any notations on payment items.
(e) If FGI fails to collect a Purchased Account within ninety (90) days of its maturity for which Credit Approval has been given, FGI shall pay to Seller the Net Invoice Amount of such Purchased Account less fees, within a reasonable time period, subject to the terms and provisions stated herein. Any Purchased Account for freight, samples or miscellaneous sales (including, without limitation, the sale of Goods and/or in quantities not regularly sold by Seller) is always assigned to FGI at Full Recourse, notwithstanding any written Credit Approval from FGI.
(f) FGI shall have no liability of any kind for declining or refusing to give, or for withdrawing, revoking, or modifying, any Credit Approval pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or for exercising or failing to exercise any rights or remedies FGI may have under this Agreement or otherwise. In the event FGI declines to give Credit Approval on any order received by Seller from a Customer and in advising Seller of such decline FGI furnishes Seller with information as to the credit standing of the Customer, such information shall be deemed to have been requested of FGI by Seller and FGI’s advice containing such information is recognized as a privileged communication. Seller agrees that such information shall not be given to Seller’s Customer or to Seller’s sales representative(s). If necessary, Seller shall merely advise its Customer(s) that credit has been declined on the account and that any questions should be directed to FGI. Each Full Recourse Account(s) assigned to and purchased by FGI is with full recourse to Seller and at Seller’s sole credit risk. FGI shall have the right to charge back to Seller’s Reserve Account the amount of such Full Recourse Receivables at any time and from time to time either before or after their maturity. Seller agrees to pay FGI upon demand the full amount thereof, together with all expenses incurred by FGI up to the date of such payment, including reasonable attorney’s fees in attempting to collect or enforce such payment or payment of such Account(s). FGI’s Credit Approval shall only begin after the first fifteen percent (15%) of all Purchased Accounts relating to each Account Debtor. For purposes of determining FGI’s Credit Approval hereunder, the Purchased Account(s) balance due FGI from any given customer shall be calculated as the aggregate amount owed by that Customer less any credits to which such Customer may be entitled, and is not to be construed to mean individual invoices owed by that customer.

Section 3. Purchase Price and Commissions.
(a) The purchase price that FGI shall pay to Seller for each Purchased Account shall equal the Net Invoice Amount thereof less FGI’s service commission, as specified below. No discount, credit, allowance or deduction with respect to any Purchased Account, unless shown on the face of an invoice, shall be granted or approved by Seller to any Customer without FGI’s prior written consent.
(b) The purchase price (as computed above), less (i) any Required Reserve Amount or credit balance that FGI, in FGI’s sole discretion, determines to hold, (ii) moneys remitted, paid, or otherwise advanced by FGI to or on behalf of Seller (including any amounts which Seller may reasonably be obligated to pay in the future), and (iii) any other charges provided for by this Agreement, shall be payable by Seller to FGI on the Date of Collection.
(c) FGI shall be entitled to withhold a Required Reserve Amount, and may revise the Required Reserve Account or Reserve Percentage at any time and from time to time if FGI deems it necessary to do so in order to protect FGI’s interests. In no event shall Seller permit a Reserve Shortfall to occur. FGI may charge against the Required Reserve Account any amount for which Seller may be obligated to FGI at any time, whether under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise, including but not limited to the repayment of any over advance, any damages suffered by FGI as a result of Seller’s breach of any provision of Section 4 hereof (whether intentional or unintentional), any adjustments due and any attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements due. Seller recognizes that the Required Reserve Account represents bookkeeping entries only and not cash funds. It is further agreed that with respect to the balance in the Required Reserve Account, FGI is authorized to withhold, without giving prior notice to Seller, such payments and credits otherwise due to Seller under the terms of this Agreement for reasonably anticipated claims or to adequately satisfy reasonably anticipated obligation(s) Seller may owe FGI. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, in the event Seller shall cease selling Accounts to FGI, FGI shall be under no obligation to pay the amount in the Required Reserve Account until all Accounts listed on all Schedules of Accounts have been collected or FGI has determined, in its sole discretion, that it will make no further efforts to collect any Accounts and all sums due FGI hereunder have been paid.
(d) In FGI’s sole discretion, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, FGI may from time to time advance to Seller against the purchase price of Purchased Accounts purchased by FGI hereunder, sums up to eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate purchase price of Purchased Accounts outstanding at the time any such advance is made, less: (1) Any such Purchased Accounts that are in dispute; (2) any such Purchased Accounts that are not credit approved; and (3) any fees, actual or estimated, that are chargeable to the Reserve Account. Any advance shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in subsection (e) below from the date such advance is made until the date FGI would otherwise be obligated hereunder to pay the purchase price of the Purchased Account(s) against which such advance was made.
(e) Interest upon the daily net balance of any monies remitted, paid, advanced or otherwise charged to Seller’s or for Seller’s account before the payment date (including any advance made pursuant to subsection 2(d), and interest applicable to the charges or to the expenses referred to in this Agreement) shall be charged to Seller’s Reserve Account as of the last day of each month at a rate greater of eight percent (8%), per annum or three and one half percent (3.5%) above the rate of interest designated by FGI as its “Prime Rate” or “Base Rate’, as the case may be (which as of the date hereof is based upon the Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section which is subject to change) on the net daily balance of all outstanding Purchased Accounts. In the event that the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a Prime Rate, then the Prime Rate shall be the average of the three largest U.S. money center commercial banks, as determined by FGI. All such interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. Any adjustment in FGI’s interest rate, whether downward or upward will become effective on the first day of the month following the month in which the prime rate of interest is reduced or increased. If during any month, a net credit balance (i.e., the reserve or credit balance exceeds outstanding Receivables), then you agree to credit our reserve account as of the last day of each month with interest at a rate equal to two percent (2%) below the Prime Rate. All such interest, whether charged or credited to our reserve account, shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. Any adjustment in your interest rate, whether downward or upward, will become effective on the first day of the month following the month in which the prime rate of interest is reduced or increased.

(f) For FGI’s services hereunder, Seller shall pay and FGI shall be entitled to receive a service commission equal to one and eighty five hundredths of one percent (1.85%) of the gross invoice amount of each Purchased Account, which commission shall be due and payable to FGI on the date such Purchased Account arises for the initial thirty (30) day term, plus an additional fifteen (15) days. Thereafter, FGI shall be entitled to receive an additional fee of one half of one percent (0.5%) for each ten (10) day period after the initial forty five (45) days. Service commissions shall be chargeable to Seller’s Required Reserve Account. The minimum service commission on each invoice or credit memo shall be Five Dollars ($5.00). FGI shall be entitled to receive a surcharge equal to two percent (2%) of the gross invoice amount of all Accounts arising out of sales to any Chapter 11, Debtor-In-Possession. The minimum service commission on each invoice or credit memo shall be Five Dollars ($5.00).
(g) FGI’s commission is based upon Seller’s maximum selling terms of net thirty (30) days, and Seller will not grant additional dating to any customer without FGI’s prior written approval. If and when such extended terms or additional dating are given to Seller’s customers, FGI’s commission with respect to the Purchased Accounts represented thereby shall be increased by two percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days, or portion thereof, of extended or additional dating.
(h) The minimum aggregate service commissions payable under this Agreement for each contract year hereof shall be thirty five thousand dollars ($35,000). To the extent of any deficiency (after giving effect to commissions payable under the foregoing subsections), the difference between the minimum and the amount already charged shall be chargeable to Seller’s Required Reserve Account, or at FGI’s option, payable by Seller on FGI’s demand.
(i) IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT AS TO ALL PURCHASED ACCOUNTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL CONSTITUTE A TRUE PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACCOUNT(S) UNDER § 9-318 OF THE UCC AND AS SUCH, THE SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LEGAL OR EQUITABLE INTEREST IN THE ACCOUNTS SOLD. NEVERTHELESS, IN THE EVENT ANY PORTION OF THIS TRANSACTION IS CHARACTERIZED AS A LOAN, THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND TO CONTRACT IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE USURY LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT. IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF SUCH PARTIES STIPULATE AND AGREE THAT NONE OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EVER BE CONSTRUED TO CREATE A CONTRACT TO PAY, FOR THE USE, FORBEARANCE OR DETENTION OF MONEY, INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM RATE (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT. NEITHER SELLER, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON HEREAFTER BECOMING LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE ADVANCES, SHALL EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY OBLIGATION THAT MAY BE CHARACTERIZED AS UNEARNED INTEREST THEREON OR SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY OBLIGATION THAT MAY BE CHARACTERIZED AS INTEREST THEREON IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE LAWFULLY CHARGED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT, AND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL CONTROL OVER ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH MAY BE IN CONFLICT THEREWITH. IF ANY INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATION OWED BY SELLER HEREUNDER IS DETERMINED TO BE IN EXCESS OF THE LEGAL MAXIMUM, OR FGI SHALL OTHERWISE COLLECT MONEYS WHICH ARE DETERMINED TO CONSTITUTE INTEREST WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE INCREASE THE INTEREST ON ALL OR ANY PART OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS TO AN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THAT PERMITTED TO BE CHARGED BY APPLICABLE LAW THEN IN EFFECT, THEN ALL SUCH SUMS DETERMINED TO CONSTITUTE INTEREST IN EXCESS OF SUCH LEGAL LIMIT SHALL, WITHOUT PENALTY, BE PROMPTLY APPLIED TO REDUCE THE THEN OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OR, AT FGI’S OPTION, RETURNED TO SELLER OR THE OTHER PAYOR THEREOF UPON SUCH DETERMINATION. IF AT ANY TIME THE RATE AT WHICH INTEREST IS PAYABLE HEREUNDER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM RATE, THE AMOUNT OUTSTANDING HEREUNDER SHALL CEASE BEARING INTEREST UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF INTEREST ACCRUED HEREUNDER EQUALS (BUT DOES NOT EXCEED) THE MAXIMUM RATE APPLICABLE HERETO. AS USED IN THIS SECTION, THE TERM “APPLICABLE LAW” MEANS THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR, IF DIFFERENT, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR TERRITORY IN WHICH THE SELLER RESIDES, WHICHEVER LAW ALLOWS THE GREATER RATE OF INTEREST, AS SUCH LAWS NOW EXIST OR MAY BE CHANGED OR AMENDED OR COME INTO EFFECT IN THE FUTURE AND THE TERM “MAXIMUM RATE” MEANS THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS RATE OF INTEREST THAT FGI IS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO CONTRACT FOR, TAKE, CHARGE OR RECEIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE ADVANCES.

(j) Transfer. Upon FGI’s acceptance of each Purchased Account, FGI shall be the sole owner and holder of such Purchased Account. Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to FGI all of its right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Account effective at the time of acceptance thereof by FGI. Seller agrees to execute and deliver to each Account Debtor obligated under an Account and/or a Purchased Account such written notice of sale of the Purchased Account as FGI may request.
(k) Accounting Information. FGI shall provide Seller with information on the Purchased Accounts and a monthly reconciliation of the relationship relating to billing, collection and account maintenance such as aging, posting, error resolution and mailing of statements. All of the foregoing shall be in a format and in such detail, as FGI, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. FGI’s books and records shall be admissible in evidence without objection as prima facie evidence of the status of the Purchased and non-purchased Accounts and Required Reserve Account between FGI and Seller. Each statement, report, or accounting rendered or issued by FGI to Seller shall be deemed conclusively accurate and binding on Seller unless within fifteen (15) days after the date of issuance Seller notifies FGI to the contrary by registered or certified mail, setting forth with specificity the reasons why Seller believes such statement, report, or accounting is inaccurate, as well as what Seller believes to be correct amount(s) therefore. Seller’s failure to receive any monthly statement shall not relieve it of the responsibility to request such statement and Seller’s failure to do so shall nonetheless bind Seller to whatever FGI’s records would have reported.

There are no financing statements now on file in any public office covering any Collateral of Seller of any kind, real or personal, in which Seller is named in or has signed as the debtor, except the financing statement or statements filed or to be filed in respect of this Agreement or those statements now on file that have been disclosed in writing by Seller to FGI as reflected on the attached Schedule 4(e). Seller will not execute any financing statement in favor of any other Person, except FGI, during the Term of this agreement.

These rights may be exercised from time to time as to all or any part of the Purchased Accounts purchased hereunder or the Collateral as FGI in its discretion may determine. In the event that any part of this transaction between Seller and FGI is construed to be a loan from FGI to Seller, any advances or payments made as the Purchase Price for all Purchased Accounts shall be secured by the Purchased Accounts and the Collateral and FGI shall have all rights and remedies available to FGI in addition to its rights and remedies hereunder. FGI may not be held to have waived its rights and remedies unless the waiver is in writing and signed by FGI. A waiver by FGI of a right, remedy or default under this Agreement on one occasion is not a waiver of any right, remedy or default on any subsequent occasion. Any failure by FGI to exercise, or any delay by FGI of such right or any other right, nor in any manner impair the subsequent exercise by FGI of any of its rights.

Section 13. Term. The Original Term of this Agreement shall be from the date hereof until September 1, 2006, provided that this Agreement shall be extended automatically for an additional one (1) year for each succeeding year unless written notice of termination is given by one party hereto to the other party hereto at least sixty (60) days, but not more than ninety (90) days, prior to the end of the Original Term or any extension thereof. Any such notice of termination, however, and notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Seller, is conditioned on Seller’s delivery, to FGI, of a general release in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Seller understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under § 9-513 of the UCC. FGI shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of FGI’s liens on the Collateral unless and until Seller has executed and delivered to FGI said general release and Seller shall have no authority to do so without FGI’s express written consent. In the event prior to maturity this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Seller shall pay to FGI an early Termination Fee in the amount of thirty five thousand dollars ($35,000). Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect FGI’s security interest in the Collateral and FGI’s ownership of the Purchased Accounts, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective, until all transactions entered into and obligations incurred hereunder have been completed and satisfied in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and assuming no default by Seller in which event FGI may terminate without notice, FGI may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days notice in which event, Seller shall not be obligated to pay any Termination Fee.
Section 14. Attorney’s Fees.

Seller hereby authorizes FGI, at FGI’s sole discretion, to deduct such fees, costs and expenses from the Required Reserve Account or may make demand therefore. Notwithstanding the existence of any law, statute or rule, in any jurisdiction which may provide Seller with a right to attorney’s fees or costs, Seller hereby waives any and all rights to hereafter seek attorney’s fees or costs hereunder and Seller agrees that FGI exclusively shall be entitled to indemnification and recovery of any and all attorney’s fees or costs in respect to any litigation based hereon, arising out of, or related hereto, whether under, or in connection with, this and/or any agreement executed in conjunction herewith, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of either party.

The foregoing indemnification shall apply whether or not such indemnified claims are in any way or to any extent owed, in whole or in part, under any claim or theory of strict liability, or are caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of FGI.
Section 16. Severability. Each and every provision, condition, covenant and representation contained in this Agreement is, and shall be construed to be, a separate and independent covenant and agreement. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

All grants, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Seller may not delegate or assign any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of FGI. FGI reserves the right to assign its rights and obligations under this agreement in whole or in part to any person or entity.
Section 18. Governing Law: Submission to Process and Venue. This agreement shall be deemed a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to the rules thereof relating to conflicts of law. Seller hereby irrevocably submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, and agrees and consents that service of process may be made upon it in any legal proceeding relating to this agreement, the purchase of Accounts or any other relationship between FGI and Seller by any means allowed under state or federal law.

Upon the formation of any such entity, FGI shall be deemed to have been granted an irrevocable power of attorney with authority to execute, on behalf of the newly formed successor business, a new UCC-1 or UCC-3 financing statement and have it filed with the appropriate secretary of state or UCC filing office. FGI shall be held-harmless and be relieved of any liability statement or the resulting perfection of a lien in any of the successor entity’s assets.
