Bank and SPS’s rights of termination provided throughout this Agreement are cumulative. A specific right of termination enumerated in this Agreement shall not limit any other right of Bank and SPS to terminate this Agreement expressed elsewhere in the Agreement.

If the Merchant should exceed the "approved" monthly volume, Merchant acknowledges that additional documentation could be required. Merchant agrees that SPS may not process volumes over the "approved" monthly volume, and that Merchant is subject to a twenty-five dollar ($25) per item fee and a 5% fee on all monies processed over "approved" monthly volume. Merchant agrees that SPS and Bank may suspend, within their sole discretion, the disbursement of Merchant’s funds for any reasonable period of time required to investigate suspicious or unusual deposit activity. SPS and Bank will make good faith efforts to notify Merchant immediately. SPS and Bank shall have no liability for any losses, either direct or indirect, which Merchant may attribute to any suspension of funds disbursement; (b) In the event of unusual Transactions that have been "suspended" and cannot be verified as valid sales or have been verified as Cardholder disputes, Merchant agrees that a security processing fee not to exceed 110% of the unusual Transaction(s) may be assessed; (c) Merchant’s presentation to SPS and Bank of Excessive Activity will be a breach of this Agreement and cause for immediate termination of this Agreement.

Merchant authorizes SPS and Bank and appoints SPS and Bank its attorney in fact to sign its name to any financing statement used for the perfection of any security interest or lien granted in this Agreement. Merchant represents and warrants that no other party has a security interest in the Secured Assets. These security interests and liens will secure all of Merchant’s obligations under this Agreement and any other agreements between Merchant, SPS and Bank including, but not limited to, Merchant’s obligation to pay any amounts due to Bank and SPS. With respect to such security interests and liens, Bank and SPS will have all rights afforded under the Uniform Commercial Code, any other applicable law and in equity. Merchant will obtain from Bank and SPS written consent prior to granting a security interest of any kind in the Secured Assets to a third party; (b) SPS will establish and maintain a non-interest bearing account ("Reserve Account") in the name of either Bank or Merchant at any Federally insured financial institution, with sums provided by Merchant that are sufficient to satisfy Merchant’s current or future obligations as determined by Bank and SPS: (i) Bank and SPS shall have the right to initiate a debit to the Account or any other account at any institution to establish or maintain funds in the Reserve Account. Bank or SPS may deposit into the Reserve Account funds they would otherwise be obligated to pay Merchant, for the purpose of establishing or maintaining the Reserve Account in accordance with this Section, if they determine such action is reasonably necessary to protect their interests; (ii) Bank, on its own behalf or at SPS’s request, may, without notice to Merchant, apply deposits in the Reserve Account against any outstanding amounts Merchant owes under this Agreement or any other agreement between Sage Merchant Agreement 7 of 8 Merchant and Bank or SPS. Also, SPS or Bank may exercise their rights under this Agreement to collect any amounts due to Bank or SPS including, without limitation, rights of set-off and recoupment. Merchant shall have no right to withdraw funds or debit the Reserve Account. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, Bank and SPS may exercise their rights under this Agreement to debit the Reserve Account for amounts due Bank and SPS regardless the pre-petition or post-petition nature of the amount due Bank and/or SPS. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, Merchant also agrees that it will not contest any Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay, which Bank and SPS may file to debit the Reserve Account, (iii) Funds in the Reserve Account will remain in the Reserve Account for a minimum of 270 days following termination. Bank will have sole control of the Reserve Account. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, Bank and SPS do not consent to the assumption of this Agreement. Nevertheless if this Agreement is assumed Merchant agrees that, in order to establish adequate assurance of future performance within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 365, as amended from time to time, Merchant must establish or maintain a Reserve Account in an amount satisfactory to Bank and SPS; (c) Bank and SPS have the right of recoupment and set-off. This means that they may offset any outstanding/uncollected amounts owed to them from: (i) any amounts they would otherwise be obligated to deposit into the Account, and (ii) any other amounts SPS and Bank may owe Merchant under this Agreement or any other agreement; (d) The rights conferred upon Bank and SPS in this Section are not intended to be exclusive of each other or of any other rights and remedies of Bank and SPS under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

From time to time, SPS and Bank may amend any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, those relating to the discount rate or to other fees and charges payable by Merchant by mailing written notice to Merchant of the amendment, and the amendment shall become effective unless Bank and SPS receive Merchant’s notice of termination of this Agreement within 7 days.

(a) The liability, if any, of Bank and SPS under this Agreement whether to Merchant or to any other party, whatever the basis of the liability, shall not exceed in the aggregate the difference between (i) the amount of fees paid by Merchant to SPS and Bank during the month in which the transaction out of which the liability arose occurred, and (ii) assessments, Chargebacks, and any offsets authorized under this Agreement against such fees which arose during such month.
