In
consideration of the payment of the purchase price specified below
(the “Purchase Price”), Purchase will purchase from
Merchant, and Merchant will sell to Purchase, the percentage
specified below (the “Specified Percentage”) of each of
Merchant’s future accounts and contract rights arising from
or relating to the payment of the gross amount of monies from the
use of Merchant’s customers of credit cards or debit cards
for the purchase of Merchant’s goods or services at each of
Merchant’s locations (“Future Receivables”) until
the amount specified below (“Purchased Amount”) has

Price, Merchant shall enter into a credit card processing agreement
with a credit card processor approved by Purchaser (the

entered into for business or commercial purposes and that the funds
from the Purchase Price will not be used for personal, family or
household purposes.

At the time of
entering into this Agreement, Merchant shall elect Option 1 –
The Control Account Option or Option 2 – The Processor Split
Option. Such election shall be made by Merchant by
initialing the appropriate statement set forth on the signature
page hereto. Provided that merchant is not in default
under the terms of this Agreement, Merchant may change its election
at any time during the term of this Agreement by giving Purchaser
no less than 30 days prior written notice specifying its desire to
change from one option to the other. Purchaser can
accept or reject such notice to change Merchant’s election in
Purchaser’s sole discretion.
Option 1
– The Control Account Option (the following Section A1 shall only apply if
The Control Option is elected)
A1. Processing and Control
Account
A1.1. Prior to the payment of the
Purchase Price, Merchant agrees to enter into an agreement or
agreements with Processor acceptable to Purchaser to obtain credit
and debit card processing services (whether one or more, the
“Processor Agreement”). In additional,
Merchant agrees that it shall deliver to the Processor written
irrevocable instructions to pay all credit card settlements due and
owing to Merchant under the Processor Agreement directly to the
Control Account (as hereinafter defined) until the full amount of
the Purchased Amount has been paid to Purchaser (the “Control
Account Instruction”). Merchant understands that
the Control Account Instruction shall be irrevocable, absolute and
unconditional until such time as Purchaser has received the total
Purchased Amount set forth herein, and any other amounts
due. Prior to the payment of the Purchase Price,
Purchaser shall receive evidence, in form and substance acceptable
to Purchaser that the Control Account Instruction has been
delivered to Processor. Merchant further acknowledges
and agrees that Processor will be acting on behalf of Purchaser to
collect the Amount of Future Credit Card Receipts to be
Purchased. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that
Processor may provide Purchaser with Merchant’s credit card,
debit card and any other payment card processing history, including
without limitation Merchant’s chargeback experience and any
communications about Merchant received by Processor from a card
processing system, as well as any other information Purchaser deems
pertinent to this Agreement, including, without limitation the
foregoing information as it relates to Merchant’s principal
and affiliates. In the event that the Processor refuses
to honor a request by Purchaser for such credit card sales history
then, upon request of Purchaser to Merchant, merchant shall
immediately obtain the credit sales history from the Processor and
deliver the information to Purchaser within five (5) business days
on Purchaser’s request. Merchant understands that
Purchaser does not have any power or authority to control
Processor’s actions with respect to the authorization,
clearing, settlement and other processing of card
transactions. Purchaser is not responsible for
Processor’s actions, and Merchant agrees to hold Purchaser
harmless for Processor’s actions or omissions.
A1.2. Upon
execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and Merchant, Purchaser,
on behalf of Merchant, will establish an account (the
“Control Account”). In connection therewith,
Purchaser, Merchant and the bank (the “Control Account
Bank”) will enter into a Deposit Account Control Agreement
(the “Account Control Agreement”), which, among other
things will provide that (i) Purchaser has a security interest in
the Control Account and (ii) the Specified Percentage of all
amounts deposited therein will be distributed directly to
Purchaser, with the balance distributed to Merchant, until such
time as Purchaser receives the total Purchased Amount, and any
other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement. The
Merchant understands and agrees that the Control Account shall be
the sole depository for Merchant’s credit card settlements
until Purchaser receives payment in full of the Purchased Amount,
and any other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however, that Purchaser shall have the right to change
Control Account
Bank or location of the Control Account from time-to-time, at its
sole discretion, upon providing advance written notice to Merchant
and the Processor. Merchant agrees to cooperate fully with
Purchaser and Control Account Bank, now and as may be required from
time to time, in executing and delivering any and all documents
required to establish the Control Account in accordance with the
terms hereof. Any fees, costs, or expenses associated
with the Control Account shall be the responsibility of Merchant,
and Merchant hereby authorizes Control Account Bank to debit the
Control Account for such fees, costs or expenses. The
Merchant acknowledges and agrees that any debits resulting from
chargebacks or reversals, Processor fees or other sources that are
charged to the Control Account are the sole responsibility of
Merchant and Merchant hereby authorizes Control Account Bank to
transfer such debits through to Merchant’s bank accounts via
automated clearing house procedures.
A1.3. The Merchant agrees that, in
accordance with the Account Control Agreement, Control Account Bank
may rely upon the instruction of Purchaser, without any independent
verification of, or approval by, Merchant, in making distributions
from the Control Account.
A1.4. The Merchant understands and
agrees that (i) Purchaser, is not affiliated with Control Account
Bank, except with regard to its banking relationship; (ii) except
as normally associated with bank accounts, Purchaser
does not have the power or authority to control Control Account
Bank’s actions; (iii) Purchaser is not responsible for
Control Account Bank’s actions; and (iv) Merchant agrees to
release and hold harmless Purchaser for claims arising from, or
related to, Control Account Bank’s actions or
activities.
A1.5. When
Purchaser has received the entire Purchased Amount, and any other
amounts due pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide a
termination notice pursuant to the terms of the Account Control
Agreement instructing Control Account Bank to remit all future
Merchant credit card settlements directly to
Merchant. Within five (5) business days after Purchaser
provides notice to Merchant that the Purchased Amount, and any
other amounts due, has been received, Purchaser shall instruct the
Processor to redirect the credit settlements from the Control
Account to an account to be designated by Merchant and Merchant is
herby authorized to close the Control Account. Upon
providing notice to Merchant, Purchaser shall have no liability to
Merchant with regard to (i) redirection of the credit card
settlements, or (ii) closure of the Control Account in accordance
with this Agreement.
A1.6. Purchaser
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to produce a monthly
processing statement reflecting activity in the Control
Account.
A1.7. Merchant
agrees that Purchaser has the option in its sole and absolute
discretion to instruct Processor to conduct a processing trial (the
“Processing Trial”) to determine whether Future
Receivables will be correctly processed through Processor to the
Control Account. Purchaser agrees to make a
determination as to whether to purchase Future Receivables promptly
after the completion of the Processing Trial. If
Purchaser decides to purchase Future Receivables, then all of the
cash received by Purchaser in connection with the Processing Trial
prior to the payment of the Purchase Price shall be applied to
reduce the Purchased Amount. If Purchaser conducts a
Processing Trial, it shall not create an obligation on behalf of
Purchaser to purchase any Future Receivables, and Purchaser
expressly reserves the right to not purchase any Future Receivables
and not pay the Purchase Price to Merchant. If Purchaser
decides to not purchase Future Receivables and not pay the Purchase
Price, this Agreement shall have no further effect and Purchaser
shall, promptly after receipt from the Processor, direct Control
Account Bank to forward to Merchant any cash deposited into the
Control Account in connection with the Processing Trial.
A1.8. In case any “Event of
Default” (as defined below) shall occur, Merchant hereby
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 from Merchant, under this Agreement, including without
limitation: (i) to obtain and adjust insurance; (ii) to receive,
endorse and collect any checks, notes, drafts, instruments,
documents, or chattel paper in connection with clause (i); (iii) to
sign Merchant’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, or
assignment directing customers or account debtors to make payment
directly to Purchaser; (iv) to make withdrawals by Electronic Funds
Transfer (EFT) through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network
and/or Federal Reserve Wire System in the bank account of Merchant
in order to effect debits or credits to Purchaser pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement; and (v) to file any claims or take any
action or institute any proceeding that Purchaser may deem
necessary for the collection of any of the unpaid Purchased Amount,
or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to payment of the
Purchased Amount.
1.9. If the Processor, Merchant or
Control Account Bank remits more than the Purchased Amount to
Purchaser, Purchaser will forward the overpayment to Merchant
promptly after receipt of a written request from Merchant but in no
event later than six months after the full Purchased Amount has
been remitted.
Option 2
– The Processor Split Option (the following Section B1 shall only apply if
The Processor Split Option is elected)
B1.1. Merchant agrees to enter into
an agreement with Processor acceptable to Purchaser to obtain
credit and debit card processing services (the “Processor
Agreement”), and hereby authorizes and instructs Processor to
pay the funds attributable to the Specified Percentage of the
Future Receivables to Purchaser rather than to Merchant until all
funds attributable to the Specified Amount of Future Receivables
have been paid to Purchaser. This authorization is
irrevocable, absolute and unconditional. Merchant
further acknowledges and agrees that Processor will be acting on
behalf of Purchaser to collect the Specified Percentage of Future
Receivables. Merchant hereby irrevocably grants
Processor the right to hold each day the Specified Percentage of
the Future Receivables and to pay Purchaser directly (at, before or
after the time Processor credits or remits to Merchant the balance
of such Future Receivables not sold by Merchant to Purchaser) until
the entire Specified Amount of Future Receivables has been paid in
full. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that Processor
may provide Purchaser with Merchant’s credit card, debit card
and other payment card processing history, including without
limitation Merchant’s chargeback experience and any
communications about Merchant received by Processor from a card
processing system, as well as any other information Purchaser deems
pertinent to this Agreement, including, without limitation the
foregoing information as it relates to Merchant’s principal
and affiliates. In the event that the Processor refuses
to honor a request by Purchaser for such credit card sales history
then, upon request of Purchaser to Merchant, Merchant shall
immediately obtain the credit card sales history from the Processor
and deliver the information to Purchaser within five (5) business
days of Purchaser’s request. Merchant agrees
that Processor will charge and collect from Merchant its processing
fees
