`2.```THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT A LOAN: PARKSIDE and each Seller (together the “Parties”) intend and agree that the purchase and sale of the Future Receivables by Seller is not, nor interpreted to be, a loan. There is no interest rate, or payment schedule and no time period during which the Purchase Amount must be collected by Parkside. Parkside is purchasing the Purchase Amount knowing the risks that Seller’s receivables may be substantially reduced, or that Seller’s business may fail in which Parkside will not receive any remittance from Seller. In such an event, Seller would not be in breach/default of this Agreement. Parkside assumes these risks based on the Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement that are designed to give Parkside a reasonable and fair opportunity to receive the benefit of the bargain. The Parties agree that the Purchase Price is the fair market value for said receivables. If a court determines that Parkside has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and Parkside shall promptly refund to seller any interest received by Parkside in excess of the maximum lawful rate, it being intended that Seller not pay or contract to pay and that Parkside not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in an manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Seller under applicable law. Seller knowingly and willingly waives the defense of usury in any action or proceeding.

`3.```Reconciliation: To ensure that Parkside has collected from Seller an amount that equals the Percentage Purchased, and as long as Seller has not breached this Agreement, any Seller may give written notice to Parkside requesting that Parkside conduct a reconciliation to adjust the daily amount to reflect the Seller’s actual past and expected future receivables. A reconciliation may also be requested by sending an e-mail to Parkside at Accounting@parksidefundinggroup.com. Seller shall provide Parkside with any financial documentation or information requested by Parkside for Parkside to verify the actual receivables and complete the reconciliation. Parkside will complete each reconciliation within five business days after receipt of a written request and accompanied by the documentation and information required for it. If after Parkside conducts the reconciliation, and it is determined by Parkside that Parkside received more funds from Seller than it was intitled to, Parkside shall remit the excess funds to Seller within three business days of completing the Reconciliation.

`4.```Authorized Bank Account: Seller shall deposit all of the Future Receivables into the single business banking account (the “Account”) acceptable to Parkside to obtain electronic fund transfer services and/or “ACH” payments. Seller must instruct Seller’s credit card processor, which must be approved by Parkside, (the “Processor”) to deposit all payment card receipts of Seller into the Account. Seller shall provide Parkside and/or its authorized agent with all of the information, authorizations, and passwords necessary to verify each Seller’s Receivables. Seller shall not change any of the passwords without prior written consent from Parkside. Seller authorizes Parkside to debit the Estimated Payment from the Account each business day/week/month by either electronic fund transfer services and/or “ACH” payments.

`5.```Insufficient Funds In Account: Seller understands that it is responsible for ensuring that the Estimated Payment amount is available in the Account each business day/week/month or advising Parkside prior to each daily/weekly/monthly withdrawal of a shortage of funds. Seller will be responsible for any fees incurred by Parkside as a result of a rejected electronic check or ACH debit attempt (if no prior notice was provided) and such rejection may be result in event of default as defined with Section D.

Parkside is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from Parkside’s debiting any amount authorized under the terms of the Agreement. Seller acknowledges that the foregoing ACH authorization is a fundamental condition to induce Parkside to accept the Agreement. As such, such authorization is intended to be irrevocable.

`6.```Fiduciary Duty of Seller: Each Seller agrees that it is a fiduciary for Parkside, and each Seller will hold its receivables in trust for Parkside in its capacity as a fiduciary for Parkside. Until the Purchased Amount has been received in full by Parkside, Seller’s receivables, up to the balance of the Purchased Amount, shall be the property of Parkside.

`7.```Information To Be Delivered To Parkside: Seller shall provide to Parkside any authorizations, bank or financial statements, tax returns, as Parkside deems necessary in its sole discretion prior to or any time after execution of this Agreement. Seller shall provide the requested documents within five (5) business days after request by Parkside. Seller authorizes all of its banks, brokers and credit card processors to provide Parkside with Seller’s banking, brokerage and/or processing history to determine qualification or continuation of the Agreement or for collections upon the event of Default. A photocopy of this authorization shall be deemed acceptable as an authorization for release of financial and credit information.
