1. Factoring Terms and Conditions
(binding as of 1/1/2022)

When executed electronically by Seller and LoadX Factoring, this Factoring Services Agreement, Notification of Assignment and the Factoring Policies & Definitions attached hereto (hereafter the “Factoring Services Agreement”), by and between LoadX Factoring a division of LoadX Logistics LLC, (hereinafter referred to as “LoadX Factoring”) and Seller as indicated on the signed service agreement, (hereafter referred to as “Seller”), shall constitute the entire agreement pursuant to which LoadX Factoring shall factor Seller’s Freight Bills.

If Seller desires to sell to LoadX Factoring any Freight Bills, Seller shall submit a Factoring Application to LoadX Factoring as instructed by LoadX Factoring and will be charged a Factoring Fee based on package selected and shown on the signed Factoring Services Agreement.

Upon submission of a Factoring Application by Seller to LoadX Factoring, LoadX Factoring has the exclusive option to purchase from Seller all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to Seller’s now existing and hereafter created Freight Bills and Accounts created and owned by Seller that are submitted on such Factoring Application, together with all Corresponding Rights with respect thereto. LoadX Factoring shall advise Seller of its election to purchase any Freight Bills submitted to it on such Factoring Application and upon such notification by LoadX Factoring, the Seller shall be deemed to have assigned and sold to LoadX Factoring as sole and exclusive owner thereof, all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to such Freight Bills and Accounts and all Corresponding Rights relating thereto, covered by such Factoring Application. Upon LoadX Factoring’s acceptance of each Factoring Application, or any portion thereof, LoadX Factoring shall have the option to pay Seller the aggregate net face value of the Freight Bill less the Factoring Fee (the “Purchase Price”).

The Factoring Application shall be in a form satisfactory to LoadX Factoring and shall be delivered to LoadX Factoring together with copies of all originals, or originals as required by the Debtor, shipping or delivery receipts, documents and proofs of delivery of merchandise or rendition of services as LoadX Factoring may require.

LoadX Factoring shall be entitled to, at its sole discretion (i) notify each Debtor of Seller’s sale and assignment of such Freight Bills to LoadX Factoring and its duty to make payments directly and solely to LoadX Factoring, which notification may include a Payment Notation; and (ii) verify all Freight Bills directly with the respective Debtor.

All Accounts sold to and purchased by LoadX Factoring shall be deemed sold on a Non-Recourse basis, provided, however, that LoadX Factoring shall have recourse against Seller for (i) the amount of any dispute or short pay, (ii) if said invoice is not fully paid within sixty (60) days of the date of purchase by LoadX Factoring for any reason other than Debtor’s financial inability to pay (for example, incorrect paperwork submitted, damaged freight, or other disputes where Seller is at fault), (iii) the amount of any Freight Bill that does not comply with the Factoring Policies, or (iv) all Accounts upon a breach of this Factoring Agreement by Seller.

Factoring of all or any part of the Freight Bills of a load shall be at the discretion of LoadX Factoring and LoadX Factoring shall not be under any obligation to factor all or any load of Seller.

When Seller factors the Freight Bills for a load with LoadX Factoring, Seller agrees to notify LoadX Factoring before receiving funding for any load that Seller knows or suspects may be damaged, picked-up late, delivered late, shorted for any reason or subject to potential claims. Notification must be made on the Factoring Application for the Freight Bills for such load if possible, otherwise it should be provided by email or telephone.

If Seller receives funding for Freight Bills for a load from LoadX Factoring and the load is later determined to have been damaged, picked-up late, delivered late, shorted or subject to potential claims or disputes for any reason whatsoever, Seller shall reimburse LoadX Factoring the amount of the shortage up to and including the full amount of the Freight Bill and LoadX Factoring reserves its right to offset any such amounts from amounts LoadX Factoring may owe to Seller. Upon request from LoadX Factoring, Seller will have five (5) business days to provide payment in full to LoadX Factoring for any amounts owed.

Seller is only allowed to receive advances on a load before the Freight Bills for such load are factored and the Purchase Price paid by LoadX Factoring, and Seller must notify LoadX Factoring of any and all advances taken (from any party other than LoadX Factoring) on the Freight Bills for a load. Advances from other parties for any load must be indicated on the Factoring Application covering the Freight Bills for such load. If LoadX Factoring has funded the Purchase Price to Seller for the Freight Bills for a load, and any advances were taken (from any party other than LoadX Factoring) without notifying LoadX Factoring, the Seller will reimburse LoadX Factoring upon request for the full amount of any advances taken within five (5) business days. Seller is not allowed to take any advances (from any party other than LoadX Factoring) on any Freight Bills for a load after such Freight Bills are purchased by LoadX Factoring. Should Seller violate this policy, Seller will reimburse LoadX Factoring immediately upon request for the full amount of the advance plus a penalty of 25% of the advance amount.

If for any reason whatsoever a check or payment which should have been delivered or provided to LoadX Factoring is received by the Seller, Seller will (1) immediately notify LoadX Factoring of its receipt of the funds, and (2) remit payment, in kind, to LoadX Factoring for the misdirected funds within three (3) business days. Failure to deliver such payments to LoadX Factoring will result in a fee of 15% of the amount of any payment on account of the Purchase Price which has been received by Seller and not delivered in kind to LoadX Factoring on the third business day following the date of receipt by Seller, or 30% of the amount of any such payment which has been received by Seller as a result of any action taken by Seller to cause such payment to be made to Seller in order to compensate LoadX Factoring for the reasonably likely additional administrative expenses caused by this conduct.

To secure the full payment and performance of all liabilities and Obligations of Seller to LoadX Factoring of every kind and description, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, whether now existing or hereafter arising, Seller hereby grants to LoadX Factoring a continuing general lien on and security interest in all Accounts, Freight Bills, instruments, chattel paper, equipment, general intangibles, goods, negotiable collateral and all proceeds and collections thereof, all Corresponding Rights and guaranties or other security therefore, together with all records of Seller pertaining to the foregoing and all computer programs and systems used in connection therewith whether now existing or hereafter arising and wherever located.

If Seller fails to act in accordance with any of the preceding terms or breaches any provision of any agreement with LoadX Factoring, or violates the Factoring Policies, or in the event that LoadX Factoring shall determine in its sole discretion at any time hereafter that it is insecure with respect to the payment or performance by Seller of all or part of the Obligations of Seller to LoadX Factoring under this Agreement or any other agreement between Seller and LoadX Factoring (each of the foregoing, a “Default”), then all Obligations of Seller under this Agreement or any other agreement between Seller and LoadX Factoring, without demand or notice of any kind or nature, shall immediately become due and payable and LoadX Factoring may exercise its rights under this Agreement, any other agreement between Seller and LoadX Factoring or any applicable law. Upon the occurrence of a Default, in addition to the Factoring Fee, Seller agrees to pay interest on any unpaid balances owing to LoadX Factoring at a rate of 1.5% per month up to a rate of 18% per annum, or the highest rate allowable by law until paid in full. In the event that LoadX Factoring uses an attorney to enforce any right or rights of LoadX Factoring against Seller under this Agreement, or any other agreement between LoadX Factoring and Seller, including, without limitation, rights arising out of the inaccuracy of any of the promises made of the obligations set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees, in addition to any other amounts owed to LoadX Factoring, to pay to LoadX Factoring all costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT AS TO ALL PURCHASED FREIGHT BILLS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL CONSTITUTE A TRUE PURCHASE AND SALE OF FREIGHT BILLS UNDER § 9-318 OF THE UCC AS IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND AS SUCH, THE Seller SHALL HAVE NO LEGAL OR EQUITABLE INTEREST IN SUCH PROPERTY SOLD. NEVERTHELESS, IN THE EVENT ANY PORTION OF THIS TRANSACTION IS CHARACTERIZED AS A LOAN, THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND TO CONTRACT IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE USURY LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT. IF ANY INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATION OWED BY Seller HEREUNDER IS DETERMINED TO BE IN EXCESS OF THE LEGAL MAXIMUM, OR LOADX FACTORING SHALL OTHERWISE COLLECT MONEYS WHICH ARE DETERMINED TO CONSTITUTE INTEREST WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE INCREASE THE INTEREST ON ALL OR ANY PART OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS TO AN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THAT PERMITTED TO BE CHARGED BY APPLICABLE LAW THEN IN EFFECT, THEN ALL SUCH SUMS DETERMINED TO CONSTITUTE INTEREST IN EXCESS OF SUCH LEGAL LIMIT SHALL, WITHOUT PENALTY, BE PROMPTLY APPLIED TO REDUCE THE THEN OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OR, AT LOADX FACTORING’S OPTION, RETURNED TO Seller OR THE OTHER PAYOR THEREOF UPON SUCH DETERMINATION. AS USED IN THIS SECTION, THE TERM “APPLICABLE LAW” MEANS THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS OR, IF DIFFERENT, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR TERRITORY IN WHICH LOADX FACTORING RESIDES, WHICHEVER LAW ALLOWS THE GREATER RATE OF INTEREST, AS SUCH LAWS NOW EXIST OR MAY BE CHANGED OR AMENDED OR COME INTO EFFECT IN THE FUTURE, AND THE TERM “MAXIMUM RATE” MEANS THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS RATE OF INTEREST THAT LOADX FACTORING IS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO CONTRACT FOR, TAKE, CHARGE OR RECEIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS.

Providing fraudulent information, including but not limited to falsifying documents, modifying or altering documents, providing false or misleading information in any manner whatsoever will subject Seller to all civil or criminal causes of action available to LoadX Factoring. This Agreement shall have full and binding effect on Seller until such time as the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full and LoadX Factoring has no other or further obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make any present or future funding or pay any Purchase Price or to incur any present or future expense contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement between the Seller and LoadX Factoring, and Seller shall have executed a release, in form and substance satisfactory to LoadX Factoring of all obligations and liabilities of LoadX Factoring and the officers, directors, employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries and affiliates of LoadX Factoring. If Seller obtains new financing from another lender, Seller shall deliver such lender’s indemnification of LoadX Factoring, in form and substance satisfactory to LoadX Factoring, for checks which LoadX Factoring has credited to Seller’s account, but which subsequently are dishonored for any reason.

THE VALIDITY OF THIS FACTORING AGREEMENT, AND ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE SELLER AND LOADX FACTORING, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
