Section 3727) with respect to such Account;

(e)

Accounts with respect to which the Account Debtor is any state of the United States or any city, town, municipality, county or division thereof, provided, however, that an Account shall not be deemed ineligible by reason of this clause (e) if the aggregate amount of such Accounts does not exceed five percent (5%) of the total of Borrower’s Accounts outstanding;

Walmart.com, ToysRUs.com and BJ’s.com, all on drop shipments. Crestmark will determine in its sole discretion whether any Collateral is eligible for an Advance, but no Collateral will be considered eligible unless the requirements set forth above are met. Regardless of whether any Collateral is eligible, it is still part of the Collateral securing the Obligations.

 

Prior to any request for an Advance, Borrower must furnish to Crestmark invoices, credit memos, purchase orders, evidence of delivery, proof of shipment, timesheets or any other documents Crestmark requests, in its sole discretion, with respect to the Accounts that Borrower is tendering to Crestmark to support the Advance (“Account Documents”). Crestmark will endeavor to provide the requested Advance by the end of the next business day following the date it receives the request as long as the complete package of information for the request has been received by Crestmark by 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the date of the request for the Advance. All requests for funding will be subject to Crestmark’s then standard fees for electronic funds transfer, wire transfers and check services.

  

 

Each time an Advance is made, the amount of the Obligations will be increased by the amount of the Advance. On the later of three (3) business days (“Clearance Days”) after checks, ACH or wire transfers or other credit instruments are applied to a specific invoice, Crestmark will credit the Loan Account with the net amount actually received. On the date a collection is applied to a specific invoice, Borrower will receive immediate credit on such funds in determining availability for Advances. Upon the receipt of a payment from an Account Debtor, including, without limitation, Walgreens, Crestmark will use such payment to reduce the Obligations, and no portion of such payments shall be released to the Borrower until the Obligations are reduced to $0.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Crestmark may release to Borrower payments received on those Accounts listed in Section Eligible Accounts(o) except for Walgreens in Crestmark’s commercially reasonable discretion.

 

When Crestmark receives a payment from an Account Debtor, it will attempt to apply it against the appropriate Account Debtor and invoice according to the Account Debtor’s remittance advice. If it is not clear which Account Debtor or invoice the payment is to be applied against, Crestmark may contact Borrower or the payor for assistance. Unless there is clear error, the application of payments by Crestmark is final.
