1. SERVICES

a) Scope of Instapay Flexible Services. Instapay Flexible will provide the InstaPay service (“InstaPay”), a factoring payment and fuel advance service where Carrier offers Accounts for sale, without recourse, to Instapay Flexible through the Services and Instapay Flexible may, but shall not be required to, purchase such Accounts in Instapay Flexible’s sole discretion. Upon receipt by Instapay Flexible of an accepted Bill of Lading, rate confirmation and any other documents reasonably required by Instapay Flexible, Instapay Flexible will notify you through the Services (a “Purchase Notice”) as to which Accounts have been purchased by Instapay Flexible (“Purchased Accounts”). Instapay Flexible will pay you for a Purchased Account by initiating an ACH transfer in the amount of the Purchase Price within forty-eight (48) hours of the date of the Purchase Notice, whereupon the Account shall be deemed purchased hereunder. As used herein, “Purchase Price” means the face amount due on the Purchased Account at the time of purchase less charges, offsets and deductions to which the Freight Broker is entitled (the “Face Amount”), less the InstaPay Fee, the amount of any InstaPay Fuel Advance relating to the rate confirmation that gave rise to the Purchased Account, and any unpaid InstaPay Fuel Advance Fees (as defined herein) and processing fees due on such InstaPay Fuel Advance.

b) Instapay Flexible’s rights to the Accounts. You agree that you are engaged in a commercial enterprise and that this Agreement and the Services are intended to be an “account purchase transaction,” as defined by Texas Finance Code § 306.001(1) and pursuant to Texas Finance Code § 306.103, it is conclusively established that no amount charged hereunder shall constitute interest. You further acknowledge that in accordance with § 9-109(e) of the UCC, it is conclusively established that the transactions under this Agreement and the Services are sales of Accounts and not secured transactions, and that, upon purchase of a Purchased Account the title to such Purchased Account, legal and equitable, shall pass to Instapay Flexible regardless of whether Instapay Flexible has any recourse against you, whether you are entitled to a surplus, or any other terms of this Agreement. In order to secure all present and future obligations owing by you to Instapay Flexible whether arising hereunder or otherwise, and whether arising before, during or after the commencement of any bankruptcy case in which you are a debtor (the “Obligations”), you hereby: (i) assign to Instapay Flexible all your now owned and hereafter acquired Accounts, Chattel Paper, Inventory, Equipment, Instruments, Investment Property, Documents, Letter of Credit Rights, Commercial Tort Claims, and General Intangibles (“Collateral”) and (ii) grant to Instapay Flexible a continuing security interest in the Collateral.

c) You agree Instapay Flexible has the right to apply offsets for any amounts due to Instapay Flexible under this Agreement against any amounts owing by Instapay Flexible to you.. You authorize Instapay Flexible to notify any Account Debtor obligated with respect to any Account, that the underlying Account has been assigned to Instapay Flexible by you and that payment thereof is to be made to the order of and directly and solely to Instapay Flexible and to communicate directly with your Account Debtors regarding the Account including among other things, to verify the amount and validity of any Account offered by you.

d) Non-Recourse. Upon purchase, Instapay Flexible will assume the risk of non-payment on Purchased Accounts, up to the Insolvency Loss, so long as (i) the cause of non-payment is solely due to an Account Debtor becoming Insolvent, (ii) the Account Debtor is not an affiliate of Carrier, (iii) Carrier has acted at all times in good faith and had a commercially reasonable belief that Account Debtor would not become Insolvent, (iv) Insolvency Loss does not represent more than five (5) percent of Carrier’s total Accounts at the time the Account Debtor becomes Insolvent. As used herein, (a) “Insolvency Loss” means the Face Amount of a Purchased Account less the InstaPay Fee accrued on such Purchased Account, and (b) “Insolvent” means, an Account Debtor who fails to pay a Purchased Account solely as a result of its financial inability to pay. The burden of proof as to the insolvency of an Account Debtor shall rest solely on the Carrier, with it being presumed that at all relevant times an Account Debtor is not Insolvent.

e) Repurchase of Accounts. Carrier shall repurchase, by payment of the then unpaid Face Amount thereof together with any unpaid fees relating to the Purchased Account on demand:

a. Notwithstanding Insolvency. Notwithstanding an Account Debtor becoming Insolvent:

i. Any Purchased Account

1. The payment of which has been disputed by the Account Debtor obligated thereon, Instapay Flexible being under no obligation to determine the bona fides of such dispute;

2. For which Carrier has breached any warranty set forth in Section 7d. below.

ii. Purchased Accounts upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or the date of the termination of this Agreement.

b. Absent Insolvency of an Account Debtor. If an Account Debtor has not become Insolvent on or prior to the Late Payment Date, any Purchased Account which remains unpaid beyond the Late Payment Date (“Repurchased Account”). As used herein, “Late Payment Date” means thirty-one (31) days from the date on which a Purchased Account was purchased.

c. On any Insolvency Date which occurs prior to the termination of this Agreement, Instapay Flexible shall pay to Carrier the Insolvency Loss with respect to a Repurchased Account, where the Account Debtor has become Insolvent, other than an Account which Carrier has repurchased or could be required to repurchase hereunder. As used herein, “Insolvency Date” means the date on which Instapay Flexible has reasonably determined that an Account Debtor has become Insolvent.

f) If Carrier is an existing InstaPay user, and Carrier qualifies, which qualification shall be solely in Instapay Flexible discretion, Carrier may be offered an advance upon submission of a rate confirmation expected to give rise to Purchased Accounts (“InstaPay Fuel Advance”). An InstaPay Fuel Advance is only available on the Face Amount reasonably expected to be generated by an Account arising from the rate confirmation (“Anticipated Face Amount”). InstaPay Fuel Advance is available for same day processing of up to 50% of the Anticipated Face Amount, or other such amount as Instapay Flexible may offer from time to time, upon receipt of a valid rate confirmation prior to 08:00 A.M. Central Time. Instapay Flexible will make commercially reasonable efforts to enable Carrier to receive funds in the same business day. Carrier shall offer the Account arising from the rate confirmation to Instapay Flexible for purchase through InstaPay. Carrier shall pay to Instapay Flexible, on demand, the balance of all unpaid InstaPay Fuel Advances and all processing fees and InstaPay Fuel Advance Fees accrued thereon.

g) Instapay Flexible reserves the right not accept any load, from any Carrier, for any reason. You will receive confirmation of approval to use InstaPay, sent by email, within five (5) business days of receipt by
