Exhibit 10.5
AGREEMENT FOR WHOLESALE
FINANCING
(Security Agreement)
(ILOC Collateral)
This
AGREEMENT FOR WHOLESALE FINANCING (as amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, this
“Agreement”) is hereby made this 30th day of June,
2004, by and between IBM Credit LLC , a Delaware limited
liability company with a place of business at North Castle Drive,
Armonk, NY 10504 (“IBM Credit”), and Info Tech USA,
Inc. , formerly known as Information Products Center, Inc.,
(“IPC”) duly organized under the laws of the State of
New Jersey with its principal place of business at 7 Kingsbridge
Road, Fairfield, NJ 07004 (“Customer”). This Agreement
amends and restates all prior financing agreements (all such
agreements, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Prior Financing
Agreement.”)
Pursuant to the
terms of Section 17 of this Agreement, Customer warrants and
represents that the obligations owed to IBM Credit by Customer
under the Prior Financing Agreement will remain in full force and
effect,
In
the course of Customer’s business, Customer acquires products
and wants IBM Credit to finance Customer’s purchase of such
products under the following terms and conditions:
1. IBM Credit may
in its sole discretion from time to time decide the amount of
credit IBM Credit extends to Customer, notwithstanding any prior
course of conduct between IBM Credit and Customer. IBM Credit may
combine all of its advances to make one debt owed by
Customer.
2. Customer
agrees and understands that provided: (i) Customer’s
financing agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. dated
June 29, 2004 (“Wells Fargo Financing Agreement”)
remains in effect and (ii) no default or event of default exists
under this Agreement, in the sole discretion of IBM Credit, IBM
Credit will advance funds under the terms of this Agreement up to
the full amount available under the terms of the Letter of Credit
(at the time of the Customer’s request for an advance), as
more specifically described in Section 4, hereunder. Customer
agrees that any decision to finance products will not be binding on
IBM Credit until such time as the funds are actually advanced by
IBM Credit.
3. In the course
of Customer’s operations, Customer intends to purchase from
persons approved in writing by IBM Credit for the purpose of this
Agreement (the “Authorized Suppliers”) computer
hardware and software products manufactured or distributed by or
bearing any trademark or trade name of such Authorized Suppliers
(the “Approved Inventory”). When IBM Credit advances
funds, IBM Credit may send Customer a Statement of Transaction or
other statement. If IBM Credit does, Customer will have
acknowledged the indebtedness to be an account stated and Customer
will have agreed to the terms set forth on such statement unless
Customer notifies IBM Credit in writing of any question or
objection within seven (7) days after such statement is mailed to
Customer.
4. To secure
payment of all of Customer’s current and future indebtedness
to IBM Credit whether under this Agreement, any guaranty or surety
agreement that Customer executes, or any other agreement between
Customer and IBM Credit, whether direct or contingent, Customer
hereby agrees to cause an institution acceptable to IBM Credit to
issue in IBM Credit’s favor an Irrevocable Letter of Credit
in a form acceptable to IBM Credit (“Letter of Credit”)
in the amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00) bearing
an effective date as of the date of this Agreement and expiring no
earlier than twelve (12) months from the date hereof. At least
sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit or
any subsequent Letter of Credit, Customer will renew and extend
such Letter of Credit for a term of twelve (12) months or longer,
or will have a new Letter of Credit issued to IBM Credit for a term
of twelve (12) months or longer and in an amount, form and from an
institution acceptable to IBM Credit.

5. Customer
represents that its business is conducted as a __ SOLE
PROPRIETORSHIP, __ PARTNERSHIP, __ JOINT VENTURE, XXX CORPORATION,
__ COOPERATIVE, ___ LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (check applicable
term). Customer agrees to notify IBM Credit immediately of any
change in identity, name, form of ownership or management, and of
any additions or discontinuances of other business
locations.
6. Customer will
execute any and all documents IBM Credit may request to confirm or
perfect IBM Credit’s title or interest in the Letter of
Credit. Customer will pay all taxes, license fees, assessments and
charges when due. Customer warrants and represents that it is not
in default in the payment of any principal, interest or other
charges relating to any indebtedness owed to any third party for
any reason whatsoever, and no event has occurred under the terms or
provisions of any agreement, document, promissory note or other
instrument, which with or without the passage of time and/or the
giving of notice constitutes or would constitute an event of
default thereunder. Each financial statement that Customer submits
to IBM Credit, is and will be correct and will accurately represent
Customer’s financial condition. Customer further acknowledges
IBM Credit’s reliance on the truthfulness and accuracy of
each and every financial statement that Customer submits to IBM
Credit in its extension of various financial accommodations to
Customer.
7. Customer
agrees to immediately pay IBM Credit the full amount of the
principal balance owed IBM Credit, at or before the time payment is
required under the terms of Customer’s financing program with
IBM Credit. Regardless of the terms of any scheduled payment
program with IBM Credit, if IBM Credit determines that the current
outstanding indebtedness owed by Customer to IBM Credit exceeds the
value of the Letter of Credit in IBM Credit’s possession,
Customer agrees to immediately pay to IBM Credit an amount equal to
the difference between such outstanding indebtedness and the Letter
of Credit. Customer will make all payments to IBM Credit according
to the remit to instructions in the billing statement. Any checks
or other instruments delivered to IBM Credit to be applied against
Customer’s outstanding obligations will constitute
conditional payment until the funds represented by such instruments
are actually received by IBM Credit. IBM Credit may apply payments
to reduce finance charges first and then principal, irrespective of
Customer’s instructions. Further, IBM Credit may apply
principal payments to the oldest (earliest) invoice for the
Approved Inventory financed by IBM Credit, or to such Approved
Inventory which is sold, lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged, or
otherwise disposed of. If Customer signs any instrument for any
outstanding obligations, it will be evidence of Customer’s
obligation to pay and will not be payment. Any discount, rebate,
bonus, or credit for Approved Inventory granted to Customer by any
Authorized Supplier will not, in any way, reduce the obligations
Customer owes IBM Credit, until IBM Credit has received payment in
good funds, provided, however, that in the event any such discount,
rebate, bonus, or credit must be returned or disgorged or are
otherwise unavailable for application, then Customer’s
indebtedness will be reinstated as if such discount, rebate, bonus,
or credit had never been applied.
8. Customer will
pay IBM Credit finance charges on the total amount of credit
extended to Customer in the amount agreed to between Customer and
IBM Credit from time to time. The period of any financing will
begin on the invoice date for the Approved Inventory whether or not
IBM Credit advances payment on such date. This period will be
included in the calculation of the annual percentage rate of the
finance charges. Such finance charges may be applied by IBM Credit
to cover any amounts expended for IBM Credit’s: appraisal and
examination of the assets; maintenance of facilities for payment;
assistance in support of Customer’s retail sales; IBM
Credit’s commitments to Authorized Suppliers to finance
shipments of Approved Inventory to Customer; obtaining the Letter
of Credit and any renewals, extensions or new Letter of Credit;
expenses incurred in obtaining additional collateral or security;
and any costs and expenses incurred by IBM Credit arising out of
the financing IBM Credit extends to Customer. Customer also agrees
to pay IBM Credit additional charges which will include: late
payment fees at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 6.5%;
flat charges; charges for receiving NSF checks from Customer;
renewal charges; and any other charges agreed to by Customer and
IBM Credit from time to time. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Prime Rate” will mean the average of the rates of
interest announced by banks which IBM Credit uses in its normal
course of business of determining prime rate. Unless Customer
hereafter otherwise agrees in writing, the finance charges and
additional charges agreed upon will be IBM Credit’s
applicable finance charges and additional charges for the class of
Approved Inventory involved prevailing from time to time at IBM
Credit’s principal place of business, but in no event greater
than the
Page 2 of 8
highest rate
from time to time permitted by applicable law. If it is determined
that amounts received from Customer were in excess of such highest
rate, then the amount representing such excess will be considered
reductions to the outstanding principal of IBM Credit’s
advances to Customer. IBM Credit will send Customer, at monthly or
other intervals, a statement of all charges due on Customer’s
account with IBM Credit. Customer will have acknowledged the
charges due, as indicated on the statement, to be an account
stated, unless Customer objects in writing to IBM Credit within
seven (7) days after such statement is mailed to Customer. This
statement may be adjusted by IBM Credit at any time to conform to
applicable law and this Agreement. IBM Credit shall calculate any
free financing period utilizing a methodology that is consistent
with the methodologies used for similarly situated customers of IBM
Credit. The Customer understands that IBM Credit may not offer, may
change or may cease to offer a free financing period for the
Customer’s purchases of Approved Inventory. If any Authorized
Supplier fails to provide payment of a finance charge for Customer,
as agreed, Customer will be responsible for and pay to IBM Credit
all finance charges billed to Customer’s account.
9. Any one or
more of the following events shall constitute a default by Customer
under this Agreement: Customer breaches any of the terms,
warranties or representations contained in this Agreement or in any
other agreements between Customer and IBM Credit or between
Customer and any of IBM Credit’s affiliates; any guarantor or
surety of Customer’s indebtedness to IBM Credit under this
Agreement or any other agreements breaches any of the terms,
warranties or representations contained in any guaranty, surety
agree
