If Lender is ever prevented from charging or collecting interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.2 of Schedule A because interest at such rate would exceed interest at the Maximum Rate, then the Maximum Rate shall continue to be charged until the earlier to occur of (i) the date Lender has charged and collected the full amount of interest that would be chargeable and collectable if interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.2 of Schedule A had always been lawfully chargeable and collectible, and (ii) the date on which the principal balance of the Loan has been paid in full and Lender has no further commitments to make advances hereunder.
(b) Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Prime Rate or LIBOR Rate, as applicable, is increased or decreased, the Stated Interest Rate, as set forth in Section 2.2 of Schedule A, shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Prime Rate or LIBOR Rate, as applicable, on the day of such change (subject to the Maximum Rate). The monthly interest due on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed during the month in question on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be calculated by determining the average daily principal balance outstanding for each day of the month in question. The daily rate shall be equal to 1/360th times the Stated Interest Rate (but shall not exceed the Maximum Rate).
(c) The Loan shall initially be a Prime Rate Loan. Borrower shall have no right to request that the Loan be converted to a LIBOR Loan. Lender shall have the option at any time, in its sole discretion, to convert the Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan (a “LIBOR Rate Conversion”). Thereafter, Lender shall have the option at any time, in its sole discretion, to convert the LIBOR Loan back to a Prime Rate Loan (a “Prime Rate Conversion”). In the event Lender elects to make a LIBOR Rate Conversion or a Prime Rate Conversion, Lender shall deliver written notice thereof to Borrower at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such conversion.
2.3 PAYMENTS.
All payments shall be in U.S. Dollars and made by wire transfer or other method of electronic transfer. All payments shall be wired to Bank of America, N.A., ABA# 026009593, Account Name: CapitalSource Funding LLC - SFG, Account Number: 003938703751, Reference: Just Right Auto Sales. All payments received pursuant to this Agreement by wire transfer or other electronic transfer method, shall be applied to the Indebtedness on the day of actual receipt of such payment by Lender’s depository bank; provided, however, for purposes of calculating the interest due on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, such payment is subject to a three (3) Business Day clearance period. The Indebtedness shall be due and payable as follows:
(a) Accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans for each calendar month during the term hereof shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first (1st) Business Day of the immediately succeeding calendar month.
(b) Costs, fees and expenses payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender or to such other Person(s) designated by Lender in writing on demand; and
(c) The entire outstanding balance of the Indebtedness shall be due and payable, if not prepaid, on the Maturity Date as set forth in Section 2.3 of Schedule A attached hereto.
As set forth more fully in Section 4.4 hereof, Lender has the right to make and use advances to pay Lender for amounts due hereunder.
2.4 PAYMENT DUE ON A NON-BUSINESS DAY.
If any payment of the Indebtedness falls due on a day other than a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
2.5 MANDATORY PAYMENTS
. If at any time the amount advanced by Lender to Borrower exceeds the maximum amount of the Loan allowed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, Borrower shall immediately upon notice from Lender, repay to Lender an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, or, at Lender’s option, assign and deliver additional Eligible Receivables sufficient for such purpose.
2.6 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS
.
(a) Borrower may, at any time on or after August 4, 2008 (the “Initial Prepayment Date”), terminate financing under this Agreement and prepay the Indebtedness in full (a “Voluntary Termination”) by providing Lender with written notice (the “Termination Notice”) at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the specific date upon which Borrower intends to cease financing hereunder and prepay the Indebtedness in full (the “Termination Date”). After receipt of the Termination Notice, Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cease making advances under this Agreement and all Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of the Maturity Date or the Termination Date, as applicable. In connection with a Voluntary Termination, if Borrower does not pay and perform all Indebtedness on the Termination Date, Borrower may subsequently terminate financing under this Agreement only upon delivering to Lender a new Termination Notice and otherwise complying with this Section 2.6. In connection with a Voluntary Termination, the Indebtedness owing and to be paid by Borrower to Lender on the Termination Date shall include as liquidated damages, not as a penalty, the amount of liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) set forth in Section 2.6 of Schedule A attached hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no termination of financing under this Agreement shall affect Lender’s rights or any of the Indebtedness existing as of the Termination Date, and the provisions of the Loan Documents shall continue to be fully operative until the Indebtedness (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in cash in full. The liens granted to Lender under the Loan Documents and the financing statements filed pursuant thereto and the rights and powers of Lender thereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the fact that Borrower’s borrowings hereunder may from time to time be in a zero or credit position until (a) all of the Indebtedness (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and (b) financing under this Agreement has been terminated, as provided herein.
(b) The Borrower may terminate financing under this Agreement and prepay the Indebtedness prior to the Initial Prepayment Date if (1) Borrower has requested an increase in the Maximum Amount of Revolving Credit Line, (2) at the time such request is made, the Unused Portion is less than 10%, (3) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is otherwise continuing, (4) the Lender has denied such request, (5) Borrower pays the balance of the Indebtedness in full, and (6) Borrower terminates financing under this Agreement and requests Lender to terminate Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. If the Borrower prepays the Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), the Indebtedness prepaid shall include as liquidated damages, not as a pentalty, the following amounts: (i) during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date which is six months thereafter (the “Initial Liquidation Period”), an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the Maximum Amount of Revolving Credit Line, and (ii) during the period beginning on the day immediately following the Initial Liquidation Period and ending on August 4, 2008, an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Maximum Amount of Revolving Credit Line;
(c) The Borrower may terminate financing under this Agreement and prepay the Indebtedness in full prior to the Initial Prepayment Date if Lender sells, assigns or otherwise transfers all of its rights and duties as “Lender” under this Agreement to any other Person other than one of its Affiliates. If the Borrower prepays the Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 2.6(c), the Indebtedness prepaid shall include as liquidated damages, not as a penalty, an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Maximum Amount of Revolving Credit Line.
2.7 MAXIMUM INTEREST; CONTROLLING AGREEMENT
. It is the intent of the parties to comply with all applicable state and federal usury laws (“Applicable Usury Law”). Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Loan Documents, or in any of the documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall the Loan Documents or such documents require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law. In the event (a) any such excess of interest otherwise would be contracted for, charged or received from Borrower or otherwise in connection with the Loan, or (b) the maturity of the Indebtedness is accelerated in whole or in part, or (c) all or part of the principal or interest of the Loan Documents shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received in connection with the Loan, would exceed the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, then in any such event (1) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (2) neither Borrower nor any other Person now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof will be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, (3) all such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount hereof or refunded to Borrower, at Lender’s option, and (4) the effective rate of interest will be automatically reduced to the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Applicable Usury Law. It is further agreed, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that to the extent permitted by the Applicable Usury Law; (x) all calculations of interest which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate would exceed the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term of the Loan, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrower or otherwise in connection with such Loan; and (y) in the event that the effective rate of interest on the Loan should at any time exceed the maximum contract rate allowed under the Applicable Usury Law, such excess interest that would otherwise have been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law shall be paid to Lender from time to time so long as there remains any unpaid principal balance of the Loan, if and when the effective interest rate on the Loan otherwise falls below the maximum amount permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, to the extent that interest paid to the date of calculation does not exceed the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, until the earlier to occur of (1) the date the entire amount of interest which would have otherwise been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law has been paid in full, or (2) the date on which the principal amount of the Loan has been paid in full and Lender has no further commitments to make advances hereunder. Borrower further agrees that should the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law be increased at any time hereafter because of a change in the law, then to the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, such increases shall apply to all Indebtedness regardless of when incurred; but, again to the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, should the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law be decreased because of a change in the law, such decreases shall not apply to the indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred.
2.8 INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT
. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay Lender interest on the daily outstanding balance of Borrower’s loan account at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) which is five percent (5.0%) in excess of the rate which would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.2 and Section 2.2 of Schedule A but not in excess of the Maximum Rate, such additional rate to be paid regardless of whether Lender declares a Default or Event of Default.
2.9 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT
. Within five (5) Business Days after each month, Lender shall provide Borrower with a statement of Borrower’s account, prepared from Lender’s records, which shall detail all interest, principal and expenses for such month, such statement to conclusively be deemed correct and accepted by Borrower unless Borrower gives Lender a written statement of exceptions within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such statement.
2.10 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS
. The amount of all payments or amounts received by Lender with respect to the Indebtedness shall be applied to the extent applicable under this Agreement: (i) first, to any late fees, examination fees and expenses, internal and external legal fees and expenses, collection fees and expenses and any other fees and expenses due to Lender hereunder; (ii) then, to accrued interest through the date of such payment, including any interest after Default in accordance with Section 2.8 of this Agreement; and (iii) last, the remaining balance, if any, to the unpaid principal balance of the Indebtedness; provided, however, while a Default or Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, each payment hereunder shall be applied to amounts owed to Lender by Borrower as Lender in its sole discretion may determine. In calculating interest and applying payments as set forth above: (a) interest shall be calculated and collected through the date a payment is actually applied by Lender under the terms of this Agreement; (b) interest on the outstanding balance shall be charged during any grace period permitted hereunder; (c) at the end of the first Business Day of each month, all accrued and unpaid interest and other charges provided for hereunder for the previous month shall be added to the principal balance of the Loan; and (d) to the extent that Borrower makes a payment or Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower’s benefit that is subsequently invalidated, set aside or required to be repaid to any other Person, then, to such extent, the obligations intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if each payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender and Lender may adjust the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate under the circumstances.
2.11 COMMITMENT FEE AND UNUSED LINE FEE
. Pursuant to Section 4.1(h) hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) as set forth in Section 4.1 of Schedule A attached hereto. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a monthly unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) as set forth in Section 2.11 of Schedule A attached hereto.
2.12 INCREASED COSTS
. In the event that after the date of this Agreement, any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender (for purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “Lender” shall include Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Lender) and the office or branch where Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains the Loan with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:
(a) subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Lender by the jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office); or
(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or
(c) impose on Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining the Loan as a LIBOR Loan hereunder by an amount that Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any LIBOR Loan by an amount that Lender deems to be material, then, in any case Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the LIBOR Rate; provided, further, that Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender for any amounts under this Section 2.12 which accrued more than ninety (90) days prior to the date Lender notified Borrower of such increased costs. Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrower, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.13 BASIS FOR DETERMINING INTEREST RATE INADEQUATE OR UNFAIR.
In the event that Lender shall have determined that:
(a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Loan;
(b) dollar deposits for one month are not available in the London interbank Eurodollar market; or
(c) any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender (for purposes of this subsection the term “Lender” shall include the office or branch where Lender or any corporation or bank controlling such Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Loans) to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan;
then Lender shall give Borrower prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, the Loan, if it is a LIBOR Loan, shall be converted into a Prime Rate Loan.
2.14 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
. Borrower hereby agrees that in the event (a) Borrower receives a bona fide, written offer from any third party to provide working capital financing or other type of financing against or based upon the Receivables (“Refinancing Offer”), (b) the terms of the Refinancing Offer are acceptable to Borrower, and (c) Borrower desires to accept the Refinancing Offer from the offeror (“Offeror”), Borrower will immediately advise Lender in writing of the Refinancing Offer, including the identity of the Offeror, the complete terms and conditions of the Refinancing Offer and a copy of the Refinancing Offer. Borrower agrees not to accept the Refinancing Offer from the Offeror until at least ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of the foregoing items (the “Offer Matching Period”). Borrower further agrees that in the event Lender delivers a written commitment letter which (i) matches the terms set forth in the Refinancing Offer within the Offer Matching Period, and (ii) agrees to close such refinancing within thirty (30) days from the date Borrower signs such commitment letter, Borrower will not accept the Refinancing Offer from the Offeror and accept the Refinancing Offer from Lender. In the event Lender is not prepared to close such refinancing (and the cause thereof is not Borrower’s refusal to cooperate or provide information or documentation reasonably requested by Lender in connection with such refinancing) within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Offer Matching Period, Borrower may close on the Refinancing Offer with the original offer within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Offer Matching Period (subject to the payment of any Liquidated Damages due under the terms hereof).
If at any time prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower applies or otherwise seeks financing from any Person under a program sponsored by the United States Housing and Urban Development (each a "HUD Application"), Borrower agrees that Lender and/or its Affiliates shall have the exclusive right to provide and arrange Borrower's financing obtained in connection with such HUD Application.
If Lender sells, assigns or otherwise transfers all of its rights and duties as “Lender” under this Agreement to any other Person, other than to one of its Affiliates, the provisions contained in this Section 2.14 shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.
2.15 CAPITAL ADEQUACY.
(a) In the event that Lender shall have determined that any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (for purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” shall include Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Lender) and the office or branch where Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains the LIBOR Loan with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to collectively as a “Change of Law”), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrower shall pay upon demand to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be require to pay Lender for any amounts under this Section 2.15 which accrued more than ninety (90) days prior to the date Lender notified Borrower of such Change of Law. In determining such amount or amounts, Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 2.15 shall be available to Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition.
(b) A certificate of Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Lender with respect to the preceding subsection (a) hereof when delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
3. SECURITY.

.
(a) To secure the prompt payment to Lender of the Indebtedness and any and all other obligations now existing or hereafter arising owed by any Related Party to Lender under the Loan Documents, each Related Party hereby irrevocably grants to Lender a first priority (other than with respect to Floor Plan Collateral) and continuing security interest in and to all of such Related Party’s accounts, general intangibles, deposit and other bank accounts wherever maintained and established (including, without limitation, the Blocked Account), chattel paper, instruments, documents, investment property, inventory, equipment, fixtures, all books and records related to the foregoing, and all other types of property, including, without limitation, the following property of such Related Party, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located (collectively, the “Collateral”):

Each Related Party hereby agrees to execute any additional documents or financing statements which Lender deems necessary in its reasonable discretion in order to evidence Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. No Related Party shall allow any financing statement to be on file in any public office covering any Collateral, proceeds thereof or other matters.
3.3 DELIVERY OF RECEIVABLES
. Borrower and each other Related Party hereby agrees to deliver to the Custodian the original Consumer Loan Documents evidencing each Receivable owned or held by such Related Party, together with all other Custodian Deliverables, within five (5) Business Days after the Consumer Loan evidenced by such Consumer Loan Document is made by Borrower or such Related Party to the subject Account Debtor. All Receivables shall, regardless of their location, be deemed to be under Lender’s dominion and control (with files so labeled) and deemed to be in Lender’s possession.
3.4 FAILURE TO DELIVER
. Failure to deliver physical possession of any original Consumer Loan Documents in respect of any Receivable to Lender shall not invalidate Lender’s security interest therein. To the extent that possession may be required by applicable law for the perfection of Lender’s security interest, the original chattel paper, promissory notes, installment contracts and instruments representing the Receivables shall be deemed to be held by Lender, although kept by the applicable Related Party as the custodial agent of Lender.
3.5 NOTICE OF COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
. All Consumer Loan Documents representing or evidencing a Receivable shall contain (by way of stamp or other method satisfactory to Lender) the following language: “THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO A SECURITY INTEREST IN FAVOR OF, AND PLEDGED AS COLLATERAL TO, CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC.”
3.6 RECORDS AND INSPECTIONS
. Borrower and each other Related Party shall at all times keep complete and accurate records pertaining to the Collateral, which records shall be current on a daily basis and located only at the locations set forth in Section 5.1.B. of Schedule A attached hereto. Lender by or through any of its officers, agents, employees, attorneys or accountants, shall have the right to enter any such locations, at any reasonable time or times during regular business hours, for so long as Lender may desire, to inspect the Collateral and to inspect, audit and make extractions or copies from the books, records, journals, orders, receipts, correspondence or other data relating to the Collateral or this Agreement.
3.7 COLLECTION
. Subject to the terms of Section 3.9 hereof, each Related Party agrees at its own expense to promptly and diligently collect each installment or other payment due on all Receivables in trust for the exclusive account of Lender, and each Related Party agrees to hold Lender harmless from any and all loss, damage, penalty, liability, fine or expense arising from such collection by the respective Related Party or its agents and to faithfully account therefor to Lender. Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Lender expressly retains the unqualified right at any time it so elects to collect the Receivables directly.
3.8 BLOCKED ACCOUNT/LOCK-BOX AGREEMENT
. Lender shall establish and maintain the Blocked Accounts with one or more banks (the “Blocked Account Banks”). Borrower shall ensure that all collections of Receivables by any Related Party and the proceeds of all other Collateral are deposited by such Related Party into the appropriate Blocked Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof. The depository bank shall have no lien upon, or right of set off against, the Blocked Account or in any cash, checks, items, wires or other funds from time to time on deposit therein, and on a weekly basis the depository bank will wire, or otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to such bank account as Lender may from time to time designate for such purpose. Each Related Party hereby confirms and agrees that all amounts deposited in such Blocked Accounts and any other funds received and collected by Lender, whether as proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, shall constitute Collateral. Notwithstanding and without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Blocked Account and this Section 3.8 as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof. Each Related Party acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the terms of this Section 3.8 is an essential term of this Agreement, and that, in addition to and notwithstanding any other rights Lender may have hereunder, under any other Loan Document, under applicable law, at equity or otherwise, upon each and every failure by any Related Party to comply herewith Lender shall be entitled to assess a non-compliance (not to exceed the Maximum Rate) fee which shall operate to increase the Stated Interest Rate by two percent (2.0%) per annum during any period of non-compliance (not to exceed the Maximum Rate). Lender shall be entitled to assess such fee whether or not a Default or an Event of Default occurs or is declared, provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Lender from considering any failure to comply with the terms of this Section 3.8 to be an Event of Default. All funds transferred to the Blocked Account for application to the Indebtedness shall be applied to reduce the Indebtedness, but, for purposes of calculating interest hereunder, shall be subject to a three (3) Business Day clearance period. If as the result of collections of Accounts or Receivables or proceeds of other Collateral pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.8 a credit balance exists with respect to the Blocked Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of any Related Party, but shall be available to Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon Lender’s request any time hereafter, Borrower agrees to establish and maintain a Lockbox Account with a bank acceptable to Lender and to execute with such bank a Lockbox Agreement acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion. Thereafter, Borrower shall ensure that all collections of Receivables by any Related Party with the proceeds of other Collateral are paid directly by the Account Debtors to the Lockbox Account. To the extent that any Receivables collections or other proceeds of Collateral are not sent directly to the appropriate Lockbox Account but are received by a Related Party, such collections and proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately remitted via overnight mail to the Borrower for deposit by the Borrower within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof, in the form received, to the Lockbox Account.
3.9 PROTECTION OF RECEIVABLE RECORDS
. Each Related Party hereby agrees to take the following protective actions to prevent destruction of the Collateral and records pertaining to such Collateral: (i) if any Related Party maintains its Collateral records on a manual system such records shall be kept in a fire proof cabinet or on no less than a monthly basis, a record of all payments on Receivables and all other matters relating to the Collateral shall be placed in an off-site safety deposit box (and Lender shall have access to such safety deposit box); or (ii) if the Collateral records are computerized, each Related Party agrees to create a tape or diskette “back-up” of the computerized information and to provide Lender with a tape or diskette copy of such “back-up” information (i) prior to the initial advance described in Section 4.1 hereof, and (ii) on the first day of each month following the said initial advance.
3.10 USE OF PROCEEDS
(a) . Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan (i) for the purchase or generation of Receivables and/or inventory by any Related Party, (ii) for payments to the Lender and (iii) for general corporate purposes. In no event shall any Loan be used directly or indirectly by any Person for personal, family or household purposes.
3.11 RETURN OF COLLATERAL
. Upon the payment in full of any Receivable to which the written documents evidencing such Receivable are held by the Custodian or Lender (if any), Borrower shall submit all requests for the return of such documents pursuant to the “Request For Return of Collateral” form, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and Lender shall return (or cause Custodian to return) such documents within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Request For Return of Collateral.
3.12 LENDER’S PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
. Lender may, in its sole discretion, discharge or obtain the release of any security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance asserted by any Person against (i) the Receivables, and (ii) all other Collateral if the aggregate amount of such security interest, lien, claim or encumbrances on such other Collateral is greater than $10,000; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may discharge or obtain the release of any security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance asserted by any Person against all Collateral regardless of the amount of such security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance. All sums paid by Lender in connection with this Section 3.12 shall be payable, on demand, by Borrower to Lender and shall be a part of the Indebtedness.
3.13 SALE OF COLLATERAL
