 Payment is not contingent on any obligation or contract pertaining to
an Eligible Account and Borrower has fulfilled all its obligations as of the date of the Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal or Purchase Order Transmittal; 
 Each Financed Receivable which is an Eligible Account is based on an actual sale and delivery of goods and/or services rendered and is due to Borrower; 

Each Financed Receivable is not past due or in default, has not been previously sold, assigned, transferred, or pledged and is free of any liens,
security interests and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens;

 Additionally, Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 

Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good
standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default
under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 

Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. All inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable
quality, free from material defects.

Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any
hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under
