(c) Alternative Remittance Amount. At Purchaser's option, Purchaser may allow Business to make an
Amount"
"Alternative Remittance each payment day until Purchaser receives full delivery of the Amount
Sold and any assessed fees. In such circumstances, Business shall deliver to Purchaser Business's monthly
bank statements for all bank accounts (the "Bank Statements") within ten (10) days of Business's receipt
thereof. If, upon Purchaser's receipt of Bank Statements, such Bank Statements reflect that Purchaser has
collected from Business's Remittance Account(s) during such month an amount in excess of the Purchased
Percentage of Business's Future Receivables for such month, Purchaser shall promptly credit the
Business's Remittance Account with an amount equal to the difference between (i) theamount actually
collected by Purchaser from the Business's Remittance Account during such month and (ii) an amount
equal to the Purchased Percentage of Business's Future Receivables for such month. If, upon Purchaser's
receipt of Bank Statements for all Bank Accounts for a given month, such Bank Statements reflect that
Purchaser has collected from the Business's Remittance Account during such month an amount less than
the Purchased Percentage of Business's Future Receivables for such month, Business shall promptly owe
and deliver to Purchaser an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount actually collected by
the Purchaser from the Business's Remittance Account during such month and (ii) an amount equal to the
Purchased Percentage of Business's Future Receivables for such month. If the amount collected from the
Business's Remittance Account is within $5 of the Purchased Percentage of Business's Future Receivables
for such month, neither Purchaser nor Business is required to make additional transfers for that month.
This right to make an Alternative Remittance Amount terminates once an Event of Default occurs.
4. Eggs. Purchaser does NOT CHARGE ANY BROKER FEES to Businesses that sell their Future Receivables to
Purchaser. If Business is charged such a fee, it is not being charged by Purchaser. Additionally, because this
is not a loan, Purchaser does not charge any interest, finance charges, points, late fees or similar fees. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, we will charge the following fees, in addition to the Origination Fee:
(a) Returned Remittance Fee. If for any reason any EFT or other remittance is returned unpaid or cannot be
processed, we will charge a $35 fee. We will charge this fee only once for any returned or dishonored
remittance, regardless whether it is honored upon resubmission.
(b) Collections Administration Fee. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined below), we will
charge a fee in the amount of 10% of the then-current remaining Amount Sold at the time the fee is
assessed, less any assessed fees.
(c) Stacking Fee: if Business sells any of Business's Future Receivables without Purchaser's prior written
"stacking"
consent (including, but not limited, or Business entering into a financing arrangement
requiring Business to make daily or weekly payments or remittances), in addition to any Collections
Administration Fee, Business will be charged 10% of the original Amount Sold to reflect the
increased risk to Purchaser of being paid.
5. Performance Guaranty.
(a) By signing this Agreement, each Guarantor assumes, jointly and severally, the full, complete and timely
performance of all of Business's obligations under the Agreement if a breach of any of Business's
representations, warranties or covenants occurs. If such a breach occurs, then Guarantor(s) shall
perform under this Agreement including paying, or causing to be paid, any amounts due that Purchaser
would otherwise be entitled to collect from Business. This guaranty is a guaranty of performance and
not a guaranty of collection. Purchaser may proceed to enforce its rights against each Guarantor prior
to, contemporaneously with or after, any enforcement against Business or without any enforcement
Guarantor(s)'
against Business. The obligations are unconditional and absolute and shall remain in full
force and effect and without regard to and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by
(a) any amendment to this Agreement; (b) any exercise or non-exercise of or delay on exercising any
right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
arrangement, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or similar proceeding commenced by
or against Business or any of its officers, directors or principals; (d) defects in the formation or authority
of Business; or (e) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
of a guarantor or surety. If payment of any sum by Business is recovered as a preference or fraudulent
conveyance under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, the liability of Guarantor(s) under this guaranty
