actions taken by purchaser in connection with the same.

(b). Seller agrees to furnish purchaser with original and duplicate invoices and evidence of shipment. All

and billing of invoices shall operate as an assignment to purchaser.

(c). All outstanding accounts assigned to purchaser shall be the property of purchaser subject only to final

should receive any moneys, checks or other evidences of indebtedness in payment of or on account of any of
the invoices purchased by purchaser under this agreement, seller agrees that seller will receive and hold them
in trust for purchaser and keep them separate and apart from seller's property. Seller will endorse and transmit
them to purchaser on the day the remittance is received in the original form.

(d). All purchases of seller's accounts by purchaser are irrevocable, and all expenses of settlement of
disputes shall be borne by seller. Seller guarantees that payment of all accounts receivable purchased under
this agreement to the extent of the amount paid by purchaser. This guaranty, however, shall terminate as to
each individual account purchased, whenever the person liable under the assigned account acknowledges
notice of the assignment of the account and his or her liability. In the event the acknowledgment is only as to
a portion of the account or invoices assigned purchaser shall have the right at its option to charge the whole
or any portion of the account to seller, and purchaser shall be relieved of any and all credit risk involved in
the account.

the amounts shown due on the account, and that the merchandise has not been sold on consignment nor with
any return privilege whatsoever, except defective merchandise, and that seller has no information or reason to
suspect that any purchaser is other than a good financial risk. Seller agrees to notify purchaser immediately,
in the event any debtor of any account sold to purchaser by seller refuses payment, rejects, returns or refuses
acceptance of any merchandise from seller, claims any offset or disputes the validity of his or her account for
any reason whatsoever. Purchaser shall have the right, immediately on discovery of any disputes, to charge
back to the account of seller the amount or amounts involved and any expense including attorney's fees
incurred by purchaser, and upon the incidence of any dispute purchaser shall be relieved of any credit risk
involved in the account or accounts.

Third. Neither of the parties shall be bound by anything not expressed in writing. This contract shall inure to
and be binding upon the parties, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
