SECTION 2 AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

2.1 Agreement To Purchase and Sell. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller may request that Purchaser purchase Accounts owing by Account Debtor and Related Assets, and Purchaser may in its sole discretion, exercised reasonably and in good faith, purchase such Accounts and Related Assets from Seller, from time to time on or after the Initial Closing Date, but before the Termination Date; provided, however, that no such purchase shall be made, if, after giving effect thereto, Purchaser’s Total Investment would at any time exceed $17,000,000. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all purchases hereunder shall be made as true sales without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

2.2 No Assumption of Obligations. Purchaser shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Account, any Contract related thereto or any other related purchase orders or other agreements, nor shall Purchaser be obligated to perform any of the obligations of Seller thereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

2.3 Purchase Procedures. Seller may request that Purchaser purchase Accounts and Related Assets on the Initial Closing Date and on each subsequent Purchase Date prior to the Termination Date by delivering to Purchaser a written purchase request, in a form satisfactory to Purchaser, not later than two (2) Business Days prior to such Purchase Date, specifying the Accounts that Purchaser is being requested to purchase. Each such request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Seller that Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement are true and correct on such date as if made on and as of such date (except with respect to representations and warranties that are specified to be made as of a particular date, which shall be deemed to be true and correct on and as of such specified date) and that no Event of Termination, or event which would become an Event of Termination with notice or the passage of time, shall have occurred and be continuing. On each Purchase Date for which a purchase notice is timely given, Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, without recourse (except as expressly set forth herein), all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all Accounts identified in such request which Purchaser determines are Eligible Accounts and which Purchaser has elected to purchase in its sole discretion, exercised reasonably and in good faith, together with the applicable Related Assets.

2.4 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) The purchase price for an Account shall be determined as of the Purchase Date therefor and shall be equal to the Net Amount of such Account (the “Purchase Price”). On each Purchase Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price of each Account identified pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof to be purchased on such date, less (i) the Base Commission (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) the Administrative Fee (as hereinafter defined) by crediting such amount to Seller’s account maintained by Purchaser.

(b) Upon payment of the Purchase Price for any Accounts and Related Assets, (i) the Liens of Working Capital Collateral Agent and Trustee on such Accounts and Related Assets shall be released (automatically and without any further action), and (ii) Seller shall have sold and conveyed, and Purchaser shall have purchased, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Accounts and Related Assets, and ownership of and title to such Accounts and Related Assets shall be transferred to Purchaser.

2.5 Seller’s Account. Purchaser shall maintain one or more accounts on its books on which are recorded the purchase of Accounts hereunder, Collections in respect thereof, and all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including Base Commissions, interest, costs, and expenses. All entries in such accounts shall be made in accordance with Purchaser’s customary practices as in effect from time to time. Seller shall at all times maintain a balance in Seller’s account maintained with Purchaser equal to fifteen (15%) percent of the Total Investment, provided that Seller shall have three (3) Business Days after notice from Purchaser to cure any breach of this requirement, subject to the requirements of Section 2.8 hereof.

2.6 Debits to Seller’s Account; Repurchase of Accounts.

(a) If any representation or warranty set forth in Section 7.1 (g) or 7.1 (h) hereof was not true when made, or shall cease to be true (other than as a result of Account Debtor’s financial inability to pay upon the due date for an Account purchased hereunder), with respect to any Account purchased hereunder, Purchaser shall debit Seller’s account for the Unpaid Balance of such Account, and Seller shall, immediately upon Purchaser’s demand, pay to Purchaser the Unpaid Balance of such Account in the same manner as applies to the elimination of a Debit Balance under Section 2.8 hereof.

(b) If the Unpaid Balance of any Account purchased hereunder is reduced or is subject to reduction on account of (i) any discount, rebate, refund, or allowance not originally included in calculating the Purchase Price of such Account, (ii) any claim or dispute of any kind with Account Debtor (whether or not related to such Account), other than a claim or dispute arising solely from Account Debtor’s financial inability to pay upon the due date for an Account purchased hereunder, (iii) any return or rejection of goods or services, (iv) any adjustment thereof by the Servicer or Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, or (v) any other reason except payment, Account Debtor’s financial inability to pay upon the due date for an Account purchased hereunder or an Event of Bankruptcy, then Purchaser shall debit Seller’s account with Purchaser for the amount by which the Unpaid Balance is reduced or subject to reduction (as determined by Purchaser).

(c) No debit to Seller’s account pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have effected a reconveyance of any Account to Seller unless and until Seller has either (i) paid to Purchaser in cash the Unpaid Balance of such Account or (ii) assigned to Purchaser another Eligible Account (as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion exercised reasonably and in good faith) the Unpaid Balance of which is at least equal to the Unpaid Balance of the Account to be reconveyed.

2.7 Availability of Credit Balance; Interest on Credit Balance. At the request of Seller from time to time, and from time to time at Purchaser’s option, Purchaser shall remit to Seller any Credit Balance. Such remittances shall be made (a) on the same Business Day if the request of Seller is received prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time, or on the next Business Day if such request is received after such time and (b) to a deposit account designated in writing by Seller. As of the last day of each month, Purchaser shall pay interest to Seller on the average daily Credit Balance (if any) during such month, at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate minus three (3%) percent. Such interest shall be paid by crediting the amount thereof to Seller’s account with Purchaser.

2.8 Payment of Debit Balance. If on any day a Debit Balance exists in Seller’s account with Purchaser, then Seller shall immediately upon Purchaser’s demand, eliminate such Debit Balance by a payment to Purchaser in immediately available funds. Seller shall pay interest on any Debit Balance from the date it arises until fully eliminated at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus six (6%) percent. Accrued interest on a Debit Balance shall be payable on demand.

2.9 Statements. Purchaser shall render to Seller each month a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the balance in Seller’s account maintained by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Purchaser but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Seller and conclusively binding upon Seller as an account stated except to the extent that Purchaser receives a written notice from Seller of any specific exceptions of Seller thereto within thirty (30) days after the date such statement has been mailed by Purchaser. Until such time as Purchaser shall have rendered to Seller a written statement as provided above, the balance in Seller’s account) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing between Purchaser and Seller.

2.10 True Sales; Security Interests. Purchaser and Seller intend the transfers of Accounts hereunder to be true sales by Seller to Purchaser that are absolute and irrevocable and that provide Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the Accounts and the Related Assets, and neither Purchaser nor Seller intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Purchaser to Seller. It is not the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Accounts and Related Assets be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Accounts and Related Assets by Seller to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, any Accounts and Related Assets are property of Seller’s estate, then (a) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be and hereby is a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC, and (b) the conveyance by Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by Seller to Purchaser of, and Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, a security interest in and to all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Accounts and Related Assets to secure (i) the enforcement of the rights of Purchaser and its assigns hereunder and (ii) the repayment of a loan by Purchaser to Seller in the amount of the related Purchase Price of the assets sold by Seller to Purchaser, together with all interest, Base Commissions, fees, charges and other sums due from Seller to Purchaser hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. Purchaser and Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Accounts and Related Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority in favor of Purchaser under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller shall record and carry as sales on their respective books the transfers of Accounts hereunder.

The Base Commission shall be due and payable on each applicable Purchase Date and shall be debited to Seller’s account with Purchaser. Upon notice to Seller, Purchaser shall have the right in its reasonable discretion at any time to adjust the rate of the Base Commission for future purchases of Accounts based upon collection experience of Accounts previously purchased by Purchaser hereunder.

3.2 Purchaser’s Costs and Expenses. Seller shall pay to Purchaser on demand all costs, expenses, filing fees and taxes paid or payable in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recording, administration, collection, liquidation, enforcement and defense of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto, including any amendments, supplements or consents which may hereafter be contemplated (whether or not executed) or entered into in respect hereof and thereof, including: (a) costs and expenses of conducting lien searches and filing or recording (including UCC financing statement filing taxes and fees, documentary taxes, and intangibles taxes, if applicable); (b) costs and expenses of remitting proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the Blocked Accounts, together with Purchaser’s customary charges and fees with respect thereto; (c) costs and expenses of enforcing the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or defending any claims made or threatened against Purchaser arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, preparations for and consultations concerning any such matters); (d) out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by Purchaser during the course of field examinations of Accounts purchased hereunder and Seller’s operations, plus a per diem charge at the rate of $750 per person per day for Purchaser’s examiners in the field and office; and (e) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including legal assistants) to Purchaser in connection with any of the foregoing.

SECTION 4 CERTAIN ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCOUNTS

4.1 Administration of Accounts. Consistent with Purchaser’s ownership of the Accounts purchased hereunder, Purchaser or Servicer, on its behalf, shall have the sole right to service, administer and collect such Accounts. Until Purchaser terminates Servicer’s rights and duties by delivery of a Successor Notice in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof, Servicer shall, on behalf of Purchaser, take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to collect Accounts purchased hereunder from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. Servicer shall establish and maintain, at its expense, such blocked accounts (each, a “Blocked Account”) as Purchaser may specify, with such banks as Servicer selects and are

reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, into which Servicer shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited all Collections in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner. The banks at which the Blocked Accounts are established shall enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, providing that all items received or deposited in the Blocked Accounts are the property of Purchaser, that the depository bank has no lien upon, or right to setoff against, the Blocked Accounts, the items received for deposit therein, or the funds from time to time on deposit therein, and that the depository bank will wire, or otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, on a daily basis, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to such bank account of Purchaser as Purchaser may from time to time designate for such purpose (the “Payment Account”). Seller agrees that all payments made to the Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Purchaser, whether on the Accounts purchased hereunder or as proceeds of other Related Assets or otherwise shall be the property of Purchaser. Servicer and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, employees, and agents shall, acting as trustee for Purchaser, receive, as Purchaser’s property, all Collections which come into their possession or under their control and, on the same Business Day of receipt thereof and identification of such payment to the related Account purchased hereunder, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Purchaser. If Seller receives any Collections, Seller will remit such Collections to Purchaser in kind on the same Business Day of Seller’s receipt thereof and identification of such payment to the related Account purchased hereunder. In no event shall the same be commingled with Seller’s own funds. Seller and Servicer agree to reimburse Purchaser on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account is established or any other bank or person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Purchaser’s payments to or indemnification of such bank or person. The obligation of Seller to reimburse Purchaser for such amounts pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.2 Reporting. Servicer shall provide to Purchaser, in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser: (a) on a daily basis, a detailed listing of Collections; (b) on a weekly basis, a report by invoice of the Unpaid Balance of Accounts purchased hereunder; (c) on a monthly basis, an aging of Accounts purchased hereunder; (d) on each Purchase Date, copies of invoices, shipping and delivery documents and evidence of customer acceptance with respect to Accounts purchased on such date; (e) upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, copies of customer statements and credit memos, remittance advices and reports, and deposit slips and bank statements, with respect to the Accounts purchased hereunder, Collections, and Related Assets; and (f) such other reports as to the Accounts and Related Assets as Purchaser may request from time to time.

4.3 Accounts Covenants.

(a) Seller shall notify Servicer and Purchaser promptly of: (i) any material delay in Seller’s performance of any of its material obligations to Account Debtor or the assertion of any material claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims by Account Debtor, or any material disputes with Account Debtor, or any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, (ii) all material adverse information known to Seller relating to the financial condition of Account Debtor and (iii) any event or circumstance which, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, would cause Purchaser to consider any then existing Accounts purchased hereunder as no longer constituting Eligible Accounts. No credit, discount, allowance or extension or agreement for any

of the foregoing, shall be granted to Account Debtor by Servicer without Purchaser’s consent, except in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies when no Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing. So long as no Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, Servicer shall settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with Account Debtor in accordance with Servicer’s business judgment and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. At any time that an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, Purchaser shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with Account Debtor or grant any credits, discounts or allowances and thereby discharge or release Account Debtor or any other party or parties in any way liable for payment thereof without affecting any of Purchaser’s rights against Seller.

(b) Purchaser shall have the right at any time or times, and whether or not a Servicer Transfer Event has occurred, in Purchaser’s name or in the name of a nominee of Purchaser, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Account purchased hereunder or Related Asset, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise.

(c) Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser, with appropriate endorsement and assignment, with recourse to Seller (except with respect to Account Debtor’s financial inability to pay upon the due date for an Account purchased hereunder), all chattel paper and instruments, if any, which Seller now owns or may at any time acquire in connection with any Account purchased hereunder or Related Asset, promptly (but in any event not more than three (3) days) after such Purchaser’s receipt thereof, except as Purchaser may otherwise agree; provided, that, any such endorsement shall be made in such a manner as to not have the effect of recourse to Seller solely for Account Debtor’s financial inability to pay upon the due date for an Account purchased hereunder.

(d) Purchaser may, at any time, (i) to the extent that the notification letter referred to in Section 5.1(d) hereof is deemed in Purchaser’s judgment to be insufficient notice, notify Account Debtor that the Accounts have been purchased by Purchaser, (ii) direct Account Debtor to make payment of Accounts directly to Purchaser or to the Blocked Accounts (and Purchaser shall send copies of such notifications and directions contemporaneously to Seller), (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Accounts, and Purchaser shall not be liable for its failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto, and (iv) take whatever other action Purchaser may reasonably deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests. At Purchaser’s request, all invoices and statements sent to Account Debtor shall state that the Accounts and Related Assets have been purchased by Purchaser and are payable directly and only to Purchaser, and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Purchaser may require.

4.4 Application of Collections. Any payment by Account Debtor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by Account Debtor or required by the underlying Contract or law, be applied, first, as a Collection of the Unpaid Balance of any Account owing by Account Debtor purchased hereunder in the order of the age of such Accounts, starting with the oldest of such Accounts and, second, to any other indebtedness of Account Debtor.

4.5 Power of Attorney. Seller hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of Purchaser and Servicer (and all persons designated by Purchaser or Servicer) as Seller’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes each of Purchaser and Servicer, in Seller’s or Purchaser’s or Servicer’s name, to: (a) prepare, file and sign Seller’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against Account Debtor, (b) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which Seller’s mail regarding Accounts purchased hereunder is deposited, (c) endorse Seller’s name upon any items of payment or proceeds thereof relating to Accounts purchased hereunder and Related Assets and deposit the same in Purchaser’s account, (d) endorse Seller’s name upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, or similar document or agreement relating to any Account purchased hereunder or any goods pertaining thereto or any other Related Asset; provided, that, any such endorsement shall be made in such a manner as to not have the effect of recourse to Seller solely for Account Debtor’s financial inability to pay upon the due date for an Account purchased hereunder, (e) sign Seller’s name on any verification of Accounts and notices thereof to Account Debtor permitted hereunder and (f) execute in Seller’s name and file any UCC financing statements or amendments thereto relating to any Account purchased hereunder. Seller hereby releases Purchaser and Servicer and its officers, employees and designees from any liabilities arising from any act or acts under this power of attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission, except as a result of Purchaser’s or Servicer’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

4.6 Access to Premises. From time to time as requested by Purchaser, at the cost and expense of Seller, (a) Purchaser or its designee shall have complete access to all of Seller’s premises during normal business hours and after notice to Seller, or at any time and without notice to Seller if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, for the purposes of inspecting, verifying and auditing the Accounts and Related Assets and all of Seller’s books and records, including the Records, (b) Seller shall promptly furnish to Purchaser such books and records or extracts therefrom as Purchaser may request, and (c) Purchaser or its designee may use during normal business hours such of Seller’s personnel, equipment, supplies and premises as may be reasonably necessary for the foregoing, and if an Event of Termination exists or has occurred and is continuing, for the collection of Accounts and realization of other Related Assets and Related Property.

4.7 Authorization for Filing.

(d) SERVICER, SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

No notice to or demand on Seller and Servicer which Purchaser may elect to give shall entitle Seller or Servicer to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

11.5 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of Purchaser. Purchaser shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Purchaser. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Purchaser of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Purchaser would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

11.6 Waiver of Counterclaims. Seller and Servicer waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Accounts, the Related Assets, or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Seller and Servicer shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Purchaser in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section. Nothing contained in this Section 11.7 shall be deemed to modify the nature of the sales of Accounts contemplated hereunder or to impose any liability on Seller or Servicer with respect to the Accounts purchased hereunder, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
