What is an Account Purchase Agreement?

An account purchase agreement is an agreement between a company and a financial institution who agrees to purchase accounts from said company. This agreement details what accounts will be purchased, what the price will be, and what roles and responsibilities the financial institution takes on in exchange for the accounts. The selling company is usually obligated to provide detailed financial documents regarding the transferred accounts to ensure the financial institution has adequate information to make an informed decision.

The account purchase agreement exists to ensure that both the selling and buying party fully understand the rules and regulations surrounding the sale. It also establishes important details such as payment amount, payment schedule, and other key details surrounding the business relationship.

If any checks, remittances, other items of payment or other Proceeds of Collateral are received by Client, Client shall hold the same in trust for the benefit of WFB and will immediately deliver to WFB all such checks, remittances, other items of payment and other Proceeds of Collateral in the same form as received by Client. Without limiting WFB’s other rights and remedies, Client shall pay a misdirected payment fee to WFB in the amount of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount of any check, remittance, other item of payment or other Proceeds of Collateral which has been received by Client and not delivered to WFB on the next Business Day following receipt by Client as required by the preceding sentence.

INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES

Section 3.1 Interest. All Obligations (including Repurchase Obligations) hereunder shall bear interest at the lesser of the Contract Rate or the Maximum Rate; except, that, (a) at any time that a Client Ledger Account Deficit exists, such Client Ledger Account Deficit shall bear interest at the lesser of the Deficit Rate or the Maximum Rate and (b) from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at all times during its continuance, all Obligations hereunder shall bear interest at the lesser of the Default Rate or the Maximum Rate. Interest hereunder shall be accrued daily and shall be due and charged to the Client Ledger Account monthly. All interest due and payable hereunder by Client shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, for actual days elapsed. The Contract Rate shall be automatically and immediately increased or decreased, as the case may be, as Daily One Month LIBOR is increased or decreased and to the extent thereof.

Section 3.2 Fees. Client agrees to timely pay all fees set forth on Schedule 1 annexed hereto, all of which fees shall be fully earned and payable when due, may be charged by WFB to the Client Ledger Account and shall not be subject to refund, rebate or proration for any reason whatsoever.

Section 3.3 Reimbursement of Costs, Fees and Expenses Incurred by WFB. Client shall pay to WFB all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professional’s costs, fees and expenses, incurred by WFB in connection with: (a) the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and all Other Agreements; (b) any waiver, amendment, supplement, consent or modification hereof or with respect to any of the Other Agreements; and (c) the filing or perfecting of any security interest in any Collateral. Client shall also reimburse WFB for all costs, fees and expenses incurred by WFB, including attorneys’ costs, fees and expenses, in connection with: (i) obtaining or enforcing payment or performance of any Obligation; (ii) the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement, any Other Agreement or any of the Collateral; (iii) any action or effort to inspect, examine, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, including all Field Examination Fees; and (iv) the employment of services of one or more individuals to perform financial audits, business valuations or quality of earnings analyses of Client, or to appraise or re-appraise the Collateral or any portion thereof. In addition to the foregoing, Client shall pay to WFB WFB’s standard and customary fees relating to bank services, wire transfers, special or additional reports, remittance expenses (including, without limitation, incoming wire charges, currency conversion fees and stop payment fees), and other services at such rates as shall be charged by WFB to its Clients from time to time. All such costs, fees and expenses, together with all filing, recording and search fees and taxes payable by Client to WFB, shall be payable on demand and may be charged by WFB to the Client Ledger Account.

Section 3.4 Nature of Charges . The Purchase Price Rate, any and all other discounts, and any and all fees, commissions or other charges payable hereunder constitute consideration for WFB's services provided hereunder in connection with making credit investigations, supervising the ledgering of accounts purchased, supervising the collection of the accounts purchased, assuming certain risks and other services provided by WFB hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the payment of interest for the use, forbearance, or detention of money (except with respect to the interest that may be charged by WFB under Section 3.1); however, should a court of competent jurisdiction rule that any part of WFB’s Purchase Price Rate, other discounts, fees, account purchase commissions or any other charges hereunder are in fact or in law to be treated as interest on funds advanced, in no event shall Client be obligated to pay that interest at a rate in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Client and WFB acknowledge that, for purposes of Section 306 of the Texas Finance Code, the sale of Acceptable Accounts by Client to WFB pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a purchase and sale transaction and not a transaction for the use, forbearance or detention of money.

Section 3.5 Maximum Rate

(a) No provision of this Agreement or of any Other Agreements shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Agreement or any Other Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither Client nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of Client shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums owed pursuant hereto. In the event WFB ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the Obligations of Client hereunder; and, if the principal of such Obligations has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Client. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Client and WFB shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Agreement so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

(b) If at any time the rate of interest applicable to the Obligations of Client hereunder, together with any other fees and other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements and deemed interest under applicable law, exceeds that amount that would have accrued at the Maximum Rate, then the amount of interest and any such fees and other amounts to accrue to WFB pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Other Agreement, to that amount that would have accrued at the Maximum Rate, but to the extent permitted by applicable law, any subsequent reductions, as applicable, shall not reduce the interest to accrue to WFB pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements and such fees and other amounts deemed to be interest equals the amount of interest, fees and other amounts that would have accrued to WFB but for the effect of this Section 3.5.

As security for the Obligations, Client hereby grants to WFB, for itself and its affiliates, a continuing security interest in and first priority Lien upon all of the Collateral, subject only to such Liens of other Persons that are party to an intercreditor agreement with WFB, or to which WFB has otherwise consented in writing, in any such case, all in form and content satisfactory to WFB.

REMEDIES

Section 11.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, WFB shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws with respect to all Collateral, such rights and remedies being in addition to all of WFB’s other rights and remedies provided for herein, and all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to, or consent by, Client except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(l) concerning Client, all Obligations shall be accelerated, and shall be immediately due and payable, without notice or demand of any kind, all of which is hereby waived by Client. WFB may for any reason apply for the appointment of a receiver, ex parte without notice, of the Collateral (to which appointment Client hereby consents) without the necessity of posting a bond or other form of security (which Client hereby waives). WFB may sell or cause to be sold any or all of such Collateral, in one or more sales or parcels, at such prices and upon such terms as WFB shall elect, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, and at a public or private sale as WFB may deem appropriate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, WFB will give Client reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. At any such sale, WFB may disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment, merchantability and the like and any such disclaimer shall not affect the commercial reasonableness of the sale. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if any such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Client’s address set forth on the signature page hereto, at least seven (7) days before the time of the sale or disposition thereof. WFB may invoice any such sale in WFB’s name or in Client’s name, as WFB may elect, as the seller, and in such latter event such invoice shall be marked payable to WFB as provided in Section 6.2 of this Agreement. WFB may be the purchaser at any such public sale and thereafter hold the property so sold at public sale, absolutely, free from any claim or right of any kind, including any equity of redemption. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of, and incident to, such sale, (including attorneys’ costs, fees and expenses), and then to the payment (in such order as WFB may elect in its sole discretion) of all other Obligations. After application of the proceeds of any Collateral to the Obligations, Client shall remain liable for any deficiency.

FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE THE DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION AS ORDERED BY THE COURT WILL RESULT IN THAT PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND ARBITRATION BEING AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATED.

(b) GOVERNING RULES. ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING WILL (I) PROCEED IN A LOCATION IN THE APPLICABLE STATE (AS DEFINED HEREIN) SELECTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”); (II) BE GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (TITLE 9 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE), NOTWITHSTANDING ANY CONFLICTING CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES; AND (III) BE CONDUCTED BY THE AAA, OR SUCH OTHER ADMINISTRATOR AS THE PARTIES SHALL MUTUALLY AGREE UPON, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AAA’S COMMERCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES, UNLESS THE CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IS AT LEAST $1,000,000.00 EXCLUSIVE OF CLAIMED INTEREST, ARBITRATION FEES AND COSTS IN WHICH CASE THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AAA’S OPTIONAL PROCEDURES FOR LARGE, COMPLEX COMMERCIAL DISPUTES (THE COMMERCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES OR THE OPTIONAL PROCEDURES FOR LARGE, COMPLEX COMMERCIAL DISPUTES TO BE REFERRED TO HEREIN, AS APPLICABLE, AS THE “RULES”).

ANY PARTY WHO FAILS OR REFUSES TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION FOLLOWING A DEMAND BY ANY OTHER PARTY SHALL BEAR ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY SUCH OTHER PARTY IN COMPELLING ARBITRATION OF ANY DISPUTE.

(c) NO WAIVER OF PROVISIONAL REMEDIES, SELF-HELP AND FORECLOSURE. THE ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT DOES NOT LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THE PENDENCY OF ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING TO (I) FORECLOSE AGAINST REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL; (II) EXERCISE SELF-HELP REMEDIES RELATING TO COLLATERAL OR PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL SUCH AS SETOFF OR REPOSSESSION; OR (III) OBTAIN PROVISIONAL OR ANCILLARY REMEDIES SUCH AS REPLEVIN, WRIT OF POSSESSION, INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, ATTACHMENT, GARNISHMENT OR THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER.

ANY DISPUTE IN WHICH THE AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY EXCEEDS $5,000,000.00 SHALL BE DECIDED BY MAJORITY VOTE OF A PANEL OF THREE ARBITRATORS; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT ALL THREE ARBITRATORS MUST ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN ALL HEARINGS AND DELIBERATIONS, EXCEPT THAT A SINGLE ARBITRATOR MAY DECIDE PRE-HEARING DISCOVERY DISPUTES. THE ARBITRATOR(S) WILL BE A NEUTRAL ATTORNEY LICENSED IN THE APPLICABLE STATE (AS DEFINED HEREIN) OR A NEUTRAL RETIRED JUDGE OF THE STATE OR FEDERAL JUDICIARY OF THE APPLICABLE STATE (AS DEFINED HEREIN), IN EITHER CASE WITH A MINIMUM OF TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW APPLICABLE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED. THE ARBITRATOR(S) WILL DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT AN ISSUE IS ARBITRATABLE AND WILL GIVE EFFECT TO THE STATUTES OF LIMITATION OR REPOSE IN DETERMINING ANY CLAIM. IN ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING THE ARBITRATOR(S) WILL DECIDE (BY DOCUMENTS ONLY OR WITH A HEARING AT THE ARBITRATOR'S DISCRETION) ANY PRE-HEARING MOTIONS WHICH ARE SIMILAR TO MOTIONS TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM OR MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION. THE ARBITRATOR(S) SHALL RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF THE APPLICABLE STATE (AS DEFINED HEREIN) AND MAY GRANT ANY REMEDY OR RELIEF THAT A COURT OF SUCH STATE COULD ORDER OR GRANT WITHIN THE SCOPE HEREOF AND SUCH ANCILLARY RELIEF AS IS NECESSARY TO MAKE EFFECTIVE ANY AWARD. THE ARBITRATOR(S) SHALL ALSO HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD RECOVERY OF ALL COSTS AND FEES, TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS AND TO TAKE SUCH OTHER ACTION AS THE ARBITRATOR(S) DEEMS NECESSARY TO THE SAME EXTENT A JUDGE COULD PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, THE APPLICABLE STATE’S (AS DEFINED HEREIN) RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW.

(e) DISCOVERY. IN ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING, DISCOVERY WILL BE PERMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES.

ANY REQUESTS FOR AN EXTENSION OF THE DISCOVERY PERIODS, OR ANY DISCOVERY DISPUTES, WILL BE SUBJECT TO FINAL DETERMINATION BY THE ARBITRATOR(S) UPON A SHOWING THAT THE REQUEST FOR DISCOVERY IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE PARTY'S PRESENTATION AND THAT NO ALTERNATIVE MEANS FOR OBTAINING INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE.

(f) CLASS PROCEEDINGS AND CONSOLIDATIONS. NO PARTY HERETO SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHERS IN ANY ARBITRATION, EXCEPT PARTIES WHO HAVE EXECUTED THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT RELATED TO THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO INCLUDE IN ANY ARBITRATION ANY DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, OR TO ACT IN ANY ARBITRATION IN THE INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.

(g) PAYMENT OF ARBITRATION COSTS AND FEES. THE ARBITRATOR(S) SHALL AWARD ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES OF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.

(h) MISCELLANEOUS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PRACTICABLE, THE AAA, THE ARBITRATOR(S) AND THE PARTIES SHALL TAKE ALL ACTION REQUIRED TO CONCLUDE ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING WITHIN 180 DAYS OF THE FILING OF THE DISPUTE WITH THE AAA. NO ARBITRATOR(S) OR OTHER PARTY TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING MAY DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE, CONTENT OR RESULTS THEREOF, EXCEPT FOR DISCLOSURES OF INFORMATION BY A PARTY REQUIRED IN THE CONNECTION WITH FINANCIAL REPORTING IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF ITS BUSINESS OR BY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION. IF MORE THAN ONE AGREEMENT FOR ARBITRATION BY OR BETWEEN THE PARTIES POTENTIALLY APPLIES TO A DISPUTE, THE ARBITRATION PROVISION MOST DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE DISPUTE SHALL CONTROL. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR EXPIRATION OF ANY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER AGREEMENTS OR ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

(i) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION THEY HAVE IRREVOCABLY WAIVED THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
