CREDIT
CARD RECEIVABLES ADVANCE AGREEMENT
This Credit Card Receivables Advance
Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made
as of November 4, 2010, between CC FUNDING a division of CREDIT CASH NJ, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business located
at 1 Bridge Plaza, Suite 275, Fort Lee, NJ 07024 and an operating
office located at 505 Park Avenue, 6th Floor,
New York, NY 10022 (the “Lender”), and ONE UP INNOVATIONS, INC., a Georgia
corporation and FOAM LABS, INC., a Georgia corporation, each having its
principal place of business at 2745 Bankers Industrial Drive, Atlanta, GA 30360
(individually and collectively, the “Merchant”).
Preliminary
Statements
(a) The
Merchant has requested that the Lender periodically make Advances (as defined
below) to the Merchant. Each such Advance is to be secured by a
security interest in favor of the Lender in, among other property, the
Collateral, including but not limited to all of the Merchant’s existing and
future credit card receivables and other rights to payment arising out of the
Merchant’s acceptance or other use of any credit of charge card (collectively,
“Credit Card
Receivables”).
(b) Each
Advance is to be evidenced by a separate Advance Schedule (as defined below),
which is to set forth the key economic terms applicable to the
Advance. Each Advance Schedule is to be issued pursuant to and is to
be subject to all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; it being
understood that this Agreement is to act as a master agreement for all Advances
and Advance Schedules, if any, outstanding at any time.
(c) The
Merchant has agreed to cause the Processor (as defined below) to electronically
remit the Merchant’s collected Credit Card Receivables to the Collection Account
(as defined below).
(d) The
Lender and the Merchant now desire to enter into this Agreement to memorialize
their understanding regarding the Advances and the parties’ respective rights
and obligations relating thereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Advances and Advance
Schedules.
(a) Advances. The
Lender may, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion, periodically
advance monies to or for the benefit of the Merchant. Each such
advance is referred to in herein as an “Advance,” and all
such advances are collectively referred to herein as “Advances.”
(b) Advance
Schedules. If the Lender elects to make an Advance to the
Merchant, the Merchant agrees to execute and deliver to the Lender an advance
schedule in form and substance acceptable to Lender (each, an “Advance
Schedule”). Each Advance Schedule shall be subject to all
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and shall set forth, in
addition to any other matters set forth therein, the following:
|
(i)
|
the
“Advance
Amount,” which shall be the amount of funds agreed to by the Lender
and the Merchant in the Advance Schedule which the Lender is to advance to
or for the benefit of the Merchant under the Advance
Schedule;
|
Page 1 of
11
|
(ii)
|
the
“Collection
Amount,” which shall be the amount of funds agreed to by the Lender
and the Merchant in the Advance Schedule which the Merchant is to remit or
cause to be remitted to the Lender with respect to the Advance described
in the Advance Schedule (Note: the Collection Amount does not
include any Reimbursable Expenses (as defined below) which the Merchant
may owe the Lender with respect to the related Advance or
otherwise);
|
|
(iii)
|
the
“Collection
Date,” which shall be the date agreed to by the Lender and the
Merchant in the Advance Schedule by which the Merchant is to cause the
Collection Amount described in the Advance Schedule to be remitted in its
entirety to the Lender;
|
|
(iv)
|
the
“Collection
Account,” which shall be the deposit account into which the
Processor is to deposit, via electronic funds transfer, the Merchant’s
collected Credit Card Receivables;
and
|
|
(v)
|
the
“Collection
Account Bank,” which shall be the bank at which the Collection
Account is maintained.
|
(c) Discretionary
Advances. In no event shall the Lender be obligated to make an
Advance to the Merchant; it being understood that any election by the Lender to
make an Advance to the Merchant may be exercised in the Lender’s sole and
absolute discretion. Without limiting the generality the foregoing,
the Lender’s election to make an Advance on one occasion shall not obligate the
Lender to make an Advance on another occasion. Similarly, the absence
of an Event of Default shall not obligate the Lender to make an
Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting any of
Lender’s rights hereunder, upon Merchant’s loan balance being reduced to no more
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Advance Amount, and upon Merchant’s
request, Lender may, in Lender’s sole business discretion, “re-load” the Advance
Amount and loan additional monies to Merchant upon substantially the same terms
and conditions set forth herein. Merchant understands that any
“re-loads” would be made at the sole business discretion of Lender and be
conditioned upon, among other things, Merchant’s payment history with Lender and
Merchant’s financial condition, as determined by Lender.
2. Repayment of
Advances.
(a) Processor to Remit
Collections to Collection Account. The Merchant represents and
warrants to the Lender that all of the Merchant’s Credit Card Receivables are or
will be processed by a Processor reasonably acceptable to Lender (together with
any subsequent successors or assigns, the “Processor”). The
Merchant agrees to execute and deliver to the Lender, and to cause the Processor
to execute and deliver to the Lender, a payment instruction agreement in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Payment Instruction
Agreement”). The Payment Instruction Agreement is to provide
that (i) the Processor is to periodically remit, via electronic funds transfer,
to the Collection Account all of the Merchant’s Credit Card Receivables
collected by the Processor (net of any discounts, fees and/or similar amounts
payable to the Processor by the Merchant which the Processor is entitled to
deduct from the proceeds of the Credit Card Receivables pursuant to the terms of
the Processor Agreement (as defined below) and net of any charge-backs, offsets
and/or other amounts which the Processor is entitled to deduct from the proceeds
of the Merchant’s Credit Card Receivables pursuant to the terms of the Processor
Agreement), and (ii) the Processor must continue transferring such funds until
such time as the Lender gives the Processor written notice that (A) the Lender
has received all Collection Amounts for all Advances then outstanding, and (B)
there are no Reimbursable Expenses (each as defined below) or other fees or
charges then outstanding. If requested by the Merchant in writing,
the Lender agrees to give the foregoing notice to the Processor if the
conditions described in the preceding clauses (A) and (B) have each been
satisfied.

(b) Collection Account Bank to
Remit Collections to Lender; Lender to Remit Portion to
Merchant. The Merchant agrees to execute and deliver a control
agreement or similar agreement among the Merchant, the Lender and the Collection
Account Bank (the “Control Agreement”)
whereby, among other things, the Lender shall be deemed to have “control” of the
Collection Account and all funds at any time deposited therein for purposes of
UCC § 9-104(a)(2) or (3), as the Lender so elects. The Control
Agreement also is to provide that the Collection Account Bank is to periodically
remit, via electronic funds transfer, all funds on deposit in the Collection
Account to a bank account designated by the Lender (the “Lender
Account”). Insofar as funds on deposit in the Collection
Account are remitted to the Lender Account, the Lender will retain a fixed
amount each banking day (which amount will be doubled the day after a banking
holiday) to credit to the Collection Amount, in an amount as set forth in each
respective Advance Schedule (the “Fixed Daily Payment”)
until the cash payments applied by the Lender equal to the Collection Amount
(plus all Reimbursable Expenses and all other fees and charges due under this
Agreement) and remit to Merchant, via electronic funds transfer to a bank
account designated by the Merchant in a writing delivered to the Lender, the
balance of all such funds in the Lender Account; provided,
however,
that if the Lender, in its reasonable judgment, deems that it is insecure at any
time in the timely payment of the Collection Amount on the basis of the then
current Fixed Daily Payment, regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred, Merchant agrees that the Lender may increase the Fixed Daily Payment
from time to time to assure timely payment of the Collection
Amount.
(c) In
the event Merchant does not maintain sufficient balances in the Collection
Account for Lender to retain the Fixed Daily Payment, Merchant will be subject
to a five percent (5%) late fee for the amount of any deficiency, which would be
automatically be added to the next daily payment.
(d) Monthly
True-Up. Intentionally omitted.
(e) Collection Amount Not
Received by Collection Date. If the Collection Amount
specified in an Advance Schedule is not received by the Lender by the Collection
Date specified in the Advance Schedule, or if any other Event of Default exists,
the Merchant shall immediately pay to the Lender the balance of the Collection
Amount that has not yet been remitted to and received by the
Lender. Notwithstanding the Lender’s right to demand the immediate
payment of all outstanding obligations hereunder on the Collection Date, and
notwithstanding Lender’s right to True-up, as provided above, in the event
Merchant’s obligation to pay the Collection Amount (plus Reimbursable Expenses
and all other fees and charges due hereunder and under the related Agreements)
is not satisfied on or before the Collection Date, and provided Merchant is not
otherwise in default of this Agreement, in lieu of increasing the Fixed Daily
Payment, the Lender may, at the Lender’s option, continue to apply the specified
Fixed Daily Payment to the obligations of the Merchant hereunder. In
consideration of the Lender extending the Collection Date, Merchant hereby
understands and agrees that Merchant shall pay to the Lender an extension fee
equal to two percent (2%) of the highest outstanding balance of Merchant’s
obligations to Lender for each 30 day period (or part thereof) after the
Collection Date. The extension fee would automatically be charged to
Merchant’s account on the 1st day
after the Collection Date and each 30 days thereafter. Merchant
further understands and agrees that if any event or condition specified in the
first sentence of this Section 2(e) exists, the Lender may, in Lender’s
reasonable business discretion, increase the Fixed Daily Payment to 100% of the
funds received into the Collection Account and, as such, recover from the
Collection Account and/or retain in the Lender Account all amounts due the
Lender under this Agreement and/or any Related Agreements (as defined
below).

3. Security
Interest.
As security for the prompt performance, observance and payment in full of all
obligations of Merchant to Lender hereunder, Merchant hereby pledges, assigns,
transfers and grants to Lender a security interest in, and continuing lien upon,
and right of setoff against the following property, whether such property or the
Merchant’s right, title or interest therein or thereto is now owned or existing
or hereafter acquired or arising: (a) all Accounts, including,
without limitation, all Credit Card Receivables; (b) all other payment rights
arising out of the provision of goods or services by the Merchant; (c) the
Collection Account; (d) all rights to receive payments from the Processor and
all other rights arising out of or otherwise relating to the Processor

included above, all collateral support and Supporting Obligations relating to
any of the foregoing; and (t) to the extent not otherwise included above, all
Proceeds, products, accessions, rents and profits of or in respect of any of the
foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”). All
capitalized terms in this description that are not otherwise defined shall have
the meanings given to them under the UCC. The Merchant also
unconditionally and irrevocably assigns to Lender and grants to Lender a
security interest in and to all its present and future right, title and interest
to receive monies under all present and future Processor Agreements (as
hereinafter defined), all other agreements with Processors, agents, independent
sales organizations (ISO’s) and all other persons, all of which shall be deemed
to be part of the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, the
security interest in the Collateral secures the payment and performance of all
existing and future obligations of any nature whatsoever of the Merchant to the
Lender, including, without limitation, the Merchant’s obligation to pay all
Collection Amounts, fees, and Reimbursable Expenses owing at any time under this
Agreement and/or any Related Agreements. The term “Merchant,” as used
in this Section 3, and for purposes of identifying the debtor(s) granting the
security interest in this Section 3, shall mean the Merchant in its own capacity
and as agent for each Merchant Affiliate (as defined below).
4. Control of Collection
Account. In addition to the matters described in Section 2(b)
above, the Control Agreement is also to provide that the Lender’s security
interest in the Collection Account is to be perfected by control for purposes of
UCC §9-104(a)(2).

Expenses. The Merchant agrees to reimburse the Lender on

limitation, attorney’s fees and court costs, arising out of or otherwise
relating in any respect to this Agreement and/or any Related Agreements, the
transactions contemplated hereby and/or the exercise or enforcement of any
rights of the Lender in connection therewith, except insofar as any such
indemnified losses arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an
indemnified party. This Section shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
14. Power of
Attorney. The Merchant irrevocably designates, makes,
constitutes and appoints the Lender, and all persons designated by the Lender,

maximum, any such excess shall be deemed to have been applied toward payment of
the principal of any and all then outstanding indebtedness of the Merchant to
the Lender, or if there is no such indebtedness, shall immediately be returned
to the Merchant.
(d) Governing Law; Consent to
Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New Jersey without giving effect to any choice of law rules
thereof. As part of the consideration for new value this day
received, the Merchant consents to the jurisdiction of any state court located
within Bergen County, New Jersey or any federal court located in Bergen County,
New Jersey (collectively, the “Chosen Forum”), and
waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all
such service of process be made by certified or registered mail directed to the
Merchant at its most recent address as reflected in the Lender’s records, and
service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon delivery
thereto. The Merchant waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue
of any action instituted against it as provided herein and agrees not to assert
any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue. The Merchant
further agrees not to assert against the Lender (except by way of a defense or
counterclaim in a proceeding initiated by the Lender) any claim or other
assertion of liability relating to any of this Agreement, any of the Related
Agreements, the Collateral or the Lender’s actions or inactions in respect of
any of the foregoing in any jurisdiction other than the Chosen
Forum. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the Lender’s right to
bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Related
Agreements against the Merchant or its properties in courts of other
jurisdictions.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial;
Limitation on Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
and as separately bargained-for consideration to the Lender, the Merchant waives
any right to trial by jury (which the Lender also waives) in any action, suit,
proceeding or counterclaim of any kind arising out of or otherwise relating to
any of this Agreement, the Related Agreements, the Collateral or the Lender’s
actions or inactions in respect of any of the foregoing. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, and as separately bargained-for consideration
to the Lender, the Merchant also waives any right it may have at any time to
claim or recover in any litigation or other dispute involving the Lender,
whether the underlying claim or dispute sounds in contract, tort or otherwise,
any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other
than, or in addition to, actual damages. The Merchant acknowledges
that the Lender is relying upon and would not enter into the transactions
described in this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein but for
the Merchant’s waivers and agreements under this Section.
(f) General Waivers by
Merchant. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this
Agreement, the Merchant waives: (i) presentment, protest, demand for payment,
notice of dishonor demand and protest and notice of presentment, default, notice
of nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal
of any or all accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper
and guaranties at any time held by the Lender on which the Merchant may in any
way be liable and ratifies and confirms whatever the Lender may do in this
regard; (ii) notice prior to taking possession or control of the Collateral or
any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing the
Lender to exercise any of the Lender’s remedies, including the issuance of an
immediate writ of possession; (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement
and exemption laws; and (iv) any and all other notices, demands and consents in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of
this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements and/or any of the Lender’s
rights in respect of the Collateral. The Merchant also waives any
right of setoff or similar right the Merchant may at any time have against the
Lender as a defense to the payment or performance of the Merchant’s obligations
to the Lender under this Agreement or any of the Related
Agreements. If the Merchant now or hereafter has any claim against
the Lender giving rise to any such right of setoff or similar right, the
Merchant agrees not to assert such claim as a defense or right of setoff with
respect to the Merchant’s obligations under this Agreement or any Related
Agreements, and to instead assert any such claim, if the Merchant so elects to
assert such claim, in a separate proceeding against the Lender and not as a part
of any proceeding or as a defense to any claim initiated by the Lender to
enforce any of the Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any of the Related
Agreements.

(g) Disbursing
Agent. The Merchants hereby appoint ONE UP INNOVATIONS, INC.
as the “Disbursing
Agent” to the Merchants as it is in the best interest and convenience of
the Merchants that all Advances made by Lender pursuant to this Agreement be
made only to the Disbursing Agent rather than to each of the Merchants
individually. Accordingly, the Disbursing Agent shall be the sole
entity entitled to receive the funds advanced by Lender under this Agreement and
the Disbursing Agent shall make disbursements to the Merchants as reasonably
requested by each Merchant to conduct its respective
business. Moreover, the Disbursing Agent and each Merchant agree that
the Collection Amount shall be collected from the Collection
Account. All of the proceeds received by Lender will be credited by
Lender to the Disbursing Agent’s account and the Disbursing Agent shall have the
sole authority to further credit any such collections to each Merchant,
individually. Each Merchant hereby irrevocably waives any claim it
may have against Lender and hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from
and against all damages, losses, claims, demands, liabilities, obligations,
actions and causes of action whatsoever which such Merchant may have against
Lender which may arise as a result of Advances being made by Lender solely to
the Disbursing Agent and/or collections being credited by Lender solely the
Disbursing Agent’s account with Lender.
(h) Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement binds and benefits each party and its
successors, heirs and assigns, as applicable; provided, however, that the
Merchant may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without obtaining the prior written consent of the
Lender.
(i) Severability; Section
Headings. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement
and each Related Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement
or any Related Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law,
such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement of such Related Agreement, as the case
may be. Section headings herein and any Related Agreements are for
convenience only and are not controlling.
(j) Counterparts; Fax
Signatures. This Agreement and any Related Agreements may be
executed in any number of counterparts (whether facsimile or original), each of
which shall be deemed an original as to the party whose signature appears
thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
An executed facsimile of this Agreement or any Related Agreement shall be deemed
a valid and binding agreement between the parties hereto or
thereto.
