E. This Agreement amends, revises, and supersedes the Original IPA as of the Effective Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, Purchaser and Seller, desiring to enter into a legally binding agreement, agree as follows:

Terms and Conditions

1. Contract Formation; Intent of Parties. This Agreement becomes a binding contract upon the Effective Date once signed by an authorized representative of each of Seller and Purchaser. It is the intention of the Parties that each purchase and sale of Accounts pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a true sale which shall have the effect of the Seller, as legal and beneficial owner, assigning full title of all Purchased Accounts to Purchaser.

2. Assignment and Sale. Seller offers to sell to Purchaser as absolute owner, and Purchaser in its sole discretion may elect to purchase as absolute owner, one or more Accounts from Seller, so long as the Balance Subject to Funds Usage Daily Fee does not exceed, before and after such purchase, the Maximum Amount. If Purchaser agrees to purchase any Account owing to Seller by a specific Account Debtor, then Seller shall sell and Purchaser shall purchase all Accounts owing by such Account Debtor to Seller. Each Account offered for sale shall be submitted to Purchaser and shall be accompanied by such documentation or data supporting and evidencing the Account as Purchaser may request. It is specifically understood between the Parties that Purchaser will not, in connection with the purchase of any Accounts, be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation which Seller may now or hereafter have to its Account Debtors. The Purchase Price will be credited to the Reserve Account, whereupon such Account shall be deemed purchased hereunder.

3. Reserve Account. Purchaser shall maintain a reserve account (the "Reserve Account") from which to make advances to Seller and/or to support Seller’s Obligations incurred under this Agreement. The Reserve Account shall be a record keeping system maintained by Purchaser and shall not be a segregated bank or deposit account. Seller shall have no right, title, or interest in the Reserve Account. Purchaser shall credit any Purchase Price to the Reserve Account. Purchaser shall charge the Reserve Account for any advances made to Seller and may charge the Reserve Account for any other Obligations, including but not limited to, fees, charges and expenses. Provided there is no existing Event of Default, Purchaser may in its sole discretion advance or rebate to Seller, upon Seller’s request, any amount by which the Reserve Account exceeds the Required Reserve Amount. If the Reserve Account is less than the Required Reserve Amount (a "Reserve Shortfall"), Seller shall pay such Reserve Shortfall to Purchaser upon demand. If a Reserve Shortfall is outstanding in excess of two (2) Business Days, Purchaser may charge up to the Default Rate on such Reserve Shortfall.

4. Notice of Assignment and Lock Box. Purchaser and Seller will instruct all Account Debtors obligated with respect to any Account to pay to a lockbox established by Purchaser. All Invoices for Accounts sent by Seller to Account Debtors shall contain on the face of the Invoice the following legend: "This account is assigned and payable only to LS DE LLC. Payments should be sent to P.O. Box 748613, Los Angeles, CA 90074-8613." If Seller shall cause any invoices not to contain the foregoing lend, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as liquidated damages, the Missing Notation Fee.

5. Authorization for Purchases. Purchaser is authorized to purchase Accounts upon instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer, CFO, or CEO, of Seller.

6. Fees, Charges and Expenses. Seller shall pay Purchaser for any and all fees and expenses as described in Annex A and elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 17.2), as well as all wire transfer charges, UCC filing fees, reasonable field examination and inspection fees, and other reasonable fees with respect to special or additional reports and other services, which are reasonably incurred by Purchaser in the administration of this Agreement. Payment of all such charges shall constitute Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral, and may be charged to the Reserve Account.

7. Repurchase of Accounts. Seller shall immediately on demand by Purchaser repurchase any Purchased Account that Purchaser determines in its sole discretion is uncollectible for any reason or is otherwise no longer an Eligible Account and on such demand shall pay to Purchaser the then unpaid Face Amount of the Account, together with any accrued but unpaid fees relating to the Account.

8. Security Interest. To secure payment and performance of the Obligations, Seller grants to Purchasers or their authorized representative a continuing first priority security interest in, and assigns to Purchasers all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to, the Collateral. Seller authorizes Purchasers, or their authorized representative to file UCC financing statements in all jurisdictions and offices Purchasers deem appropriate which name Seller as the debtor and Purchasers, or their authorized representative, as the secured party, describing the Collateral as "all assets" or "all personal property" of such Seller, or words to similar effect, and Seller ratifies any action taken by Purchasers before the Effective Date of this Agreement to effect or perfect their security interest in any Collateral. The grant of the security interest provided herein shall not be construed as an indication that the Parties intend for this transaction to be a loan and not a true sale of Accounts.

9. Clearance Days. Clearance Days will be added to the date on which Purchaser posts any payment or repurchase.

10. Authorization to Purchaser. Seller authorizes Purchaser, at Seller's expense, to exercise the following powers until the Obligations have been paid in full: (a) receive, take, endorse, assign, deliver, accept and deposit, in the name of Purchaser or Seller, proceeds of all Purchased Accounts and any other Collateral; (b) take or bring, in the name of Purchaser or Seller, all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Purchaser necessary or desirable to effect collection of the Purchased Accounts and any other Collateral; (c) file any claim under any bond or under any trust fund; (d) pay any sums necessary to discharge any lien, claim, or encumbrance which is senior to Purchaser's security interest in any Collateral, which sums shall be included as Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Seller and may accrue interest at the Default Rate; (e) notify any Account Debtor obligated with respect to any Purchased Account, that such Purchased Account has been assigned to Purchaser by Seller and that payment thereof is to be made to the order of and directly and solely to Purchaser; (f) communicate directly with Seller's Account Debtors to verify the amount and validity of any Account owing to Seller; and (g) endorse and deposit on behalf of Seller any checks tendered by an Account Debtor "in full payment" of its obligation to Seller, irrespective of whether such payment is in fact payment in full. Seller shall not assert against Purchaser any claim arising therefrom, irrespective of whether such action by Purchaser affects an accord and satisfaction of Seller’s claims under Section 3-311 of the UCC.

11. ACH Authorization. In order to satisfy any of the Obligations and facilitate the purchase of Accounts, Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser to process electronic debit or credit entries through the ACH system to any deposit account of Seller.

12. Account Stated. Purchaser will post online all of Seller’s account activity ("Online Statement of Account"). Seller shall be solely responsible for checking its Online Statement of Account. If Seller disputes any entry on the Online Statement of Account it shall, within thirty (30) days after the first posting of the entry, send to Purchaser a written exception to such entry, in the absence of which the Online Statement of Account shall become an account stated and be deemed accepted by Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Seller. Purchaser’s posting of the Online Statement of Account shall satisfy any requirements or requests for an accounting pursuant to the UCC. The Online Statement of Account may, but need not, contain all applicable fees and charges which are payable to Purchaser upon an Event of Default.

13. Seller's Representations and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants that (a) Seller is the true, lawful and exclusive owner of its Accounts; (b) each Purchased Account, to the best of Seller’ knowledge as of the Purchase Date, (i) is and will remain a bona fide existing obligation created by the sale and delivery of goods or services in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) is not owing by an Account Debtor that is an affiliate of Seller or in which Seller otherwise has an interest, (iii) is unconditionally owed as of the Purchase Date without any Dispute, and (iv) is not subject to any special terms of payment which are not shown on the face of the Invoice or contract with any Account Debtor therefor; (c) none of the Purchased Accounts arise from a sale directly to a consumer; (d) all amounts owing on the Purchased Accounts are owing in United States dollars and any taxes or fees relating to such Purchased Accounts are solely Seller’s responsibility; (e) prior to the sale of any Purchased Account to Purchaser, the Account Debtor on any Purchased Account is not subject to any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, and Seller has not received notice, and is not otherwise aware, of any actual or imminent bankruptcy, insolvency, or material impairment of the financial condition of any applicable Account Debtor regarding such Purchased Account; and (f) as of the Purchase Date, the Purchased Accounts will be free and clear of all liens and security interests other than the security interests granted in favor of Purchaser.

Seller further represents and warrants that (a) subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, Seller is fully authorized to enter into this Agreement; (b) upon approval of the Bankruptcy Court, this Agreement constitutes a legal and valid obligation that is binding upon Seller and that is enforceable against it; (c) Seller is in good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization and is duly qualified, appropriately licensed, and in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which it is required to be licensed; and (d) there are no pending actions, suits, or other legal proceedings of any kind (whether civil or criminal) now pending (or, to its knowledge, threatened) against Seller, the adverse result of which would in any material respect affect its property or financial condition, or threaten its continued operations.

Seller has set forth above its absolutely true and correct name, and provided Purchaser each prior true name of Seller and each fictitious name, trade name and trade style by which Seller has been or is now known, or by which Seller has previously transacted, or now transacts, business.

14.11. Notice of Event of Default. Promptly, but in any event within five (5) days after Seller obtains knowledge thereof, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any event or condition that, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, and a statement of the curative action that Seller intends to take with respect thereto.

14.12. Further Assurances. Promptly upon request, Seller shall deliver such instruments and agreements, and shall take such actions, as Purchaser deems appropriate under applicable law to evidence or perfect its security interest in any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement.

16. Events of Default. The following events will constitute an event of default hereunder (each, an "Event of Default"): (a) Seller defaults in the payment or performance of any Obligations as and when due hereunder; (b) Seller defaults in the performance or observation of any covenant or other provision contained herein; (c) any warranty or representation by Seller contained herein is false or misleading in any way; (d) [omitted]; (e) any guarantor fails to perform or observe any of its obligations to Purchaser or shall notify Purchaser of its intention to rescind, modify, terminate or revoke any guaranty, or any guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect for any reason whatsoever; (f) any lien, garnishment, attachment, execution or the like is issued against or attaches to the Seller, Purchased Accounts, or the Collateral; (g) Seller delivers any document, financial statement, schedule or report to Purchaser which is knowingly false or incorrect; or (h) Purchaser for any reason, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, deems itself insecure with respect to the prospect of repayment or performance of any Obligations.

17. Remedies; Enforcement Expenses.

17.1. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Purchaser may, at its election, take any or all of the following actions, to be exercised concurrently or successively: (a) cease advancing money or extending credit to Seller or for the benefit of Seller under this Agreement, notwithstanding any credit balance in the Reserve Account; (b) accelerate and declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and demand that Seller repurchase all Purchased Accounts; (c) receive and open all mail addressed to Seller and notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to Seller to such address as Purchaser may designate and Seller shall not have the right to notify the post office to change the address for delivery after Purchaser has exercised such right; (d) require Seller to assemble its Books and Records and make them available to Purchaser at Seller's expense, at a place designated by Purchaser, or deliver the same to Purchaser; (e) seek the appointment of a receiver or other custodian to take control or any or all of the Collateral; and (f) exercise all rights and remedies arising under this Agreement or applicable law, including, with respect to any Collateral or other property in which Purchaser has a security interest, all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. With respect to any Purchased Accounts, Seller hereby confirms that Purchaser is the owner thereof, that Purchaser's rights of ownership permit Purchaser to deal with such Purchased Accounts and the proceeds thereof as owner, and that Seller has no interest therein. Purchaser shall be entitled to any form of equitable relief that may be appropriate without having to establish any adequate remedy at law or other grounds to either establish that the Purchased Accounts are being improperly used or subject to dissipation or funds being fraudulently obtained by the Seller from Purchaser. In the event Purchaser deems it necessary to seek the appointment of a receiver or custodian, or seek other equitable relief by way of injunction or other legal proceeding, Purchaser shall not be required to procure or post a bond as Seller agrees that Purchaser will be irreparably harmed by such requirement. In the event that a court determines that a bond is required for any of the foregoing relief, Seller agrees that the sum of $10,000.00 is a reasonable amount for such bond. Seller waives any right it might have to any award of attorneys' fees or costs if the receiver or custodian, or equitable relief sought by Purchaser is thereafter, for whatever reason(s), vacated, dissolved or reversed.

17.2. Expenses related to enforcement of rights. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser the actual amount of all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which Purchaser may incur (a) protecting, preserving or enforcing any lien, security or other right granted by Seller to Purchaser or arising under applicable law, whether or not suit is brought, including the defense of any claims affecting the value, enforceability or collectability of any Purchased Account or the defense of Purchaser's lien priority; (b) making advances to protect and preserve Purchaser's interest in the Collateral; (c) for travel and attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in complying with any subpoena or other legal process in any way relating to Seller; (d) for the actual amount of all costs and expenses which Purchaser may incur in enforcing this Agreement (including collecting or enforcing payment of any Obligation), or in connection with any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding commenced by or against Seller or any Account Debtor, including those (i) arising out of an automatic stay, (ii) seeking dismissal or conversion of a bankruptcy proceeding or (iii) opposing confirmation of Seller's plan thereunder; and (e) any consultations in connection with any of the foregoing. All such costs and expenses will be charged to the Reserve Account and are payable by Seller upon demand by Purchaser. This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

17.3. Formation of New Entity. In the event Seller or any one or more of its principals, officers or directors during the term of this Agreement or while Seller remains liable to Purchaser for any Obligations under the Agreement, (i) forms a new entity; or (ii) has failed to disclose to Purchaser at the time of the Effective Date an existing entity, that does business similar to that of Seller, whether in the form of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or otherwise, such entity shall be deemed to have expressly assumed the Obligations due to Purchaser by Seller under the Agreement. Upon the formation of any such entity, Purchaser, in addition to all of its available remedies, shall be deemed to have been granted an irrevocable power of attorney with authority to file a new financing statement with the appropriate secretary of state or UCC filing office naming the newly formed successor business or undisclosed existing business, as a debtor or new debtor. Purchaser shall have the right to notify the successor entity’s or undisclosed existing entity’s Account Debtors of Purchaser’s security interest, its right to collect all Accounts, and to notify any new secured party who has sought to obtain a competing security interest of Purchaser’s right in such entity’s assets. Seller shall indemnify Purchaser from any claims against Purchaser which arises out of Purchaser exercising any of its rights hereunder.

18. Term and Termination.

18.1. Term. This Agreement will be effective as of the Effective Date, and will continue in full force and effect for one (1) year thereafter (the "Initial Term"), and shall be further extended automatically annually (each, a "Renewal Term"), unless terminated as follows:

(a) Seller may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by providing written notice of its intention to terminate at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of termination Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such termination shall not occur and the Agreement shall continue as if no notice was given unless, on the date of termination, Seller has fully repaid Purchaser all Obligations (including any Obligations arising from an Event of Default) and delivered to Purchaser a general release as required by section 18.5.

(b) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving Seller thirty (30) days' prior written notice of termination; and

All Obligations shall immediately become due and payable upon any termination hereof. If termination occurs under clause (c) above, then, in addition to all other amounts owing hereunder, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Default Rate, which shall accrue until such time as the Event of Default is cured or until all Obligations are paid in full.

18.2. Early Termination Fee. If Seller terminates this Agreement without providing notice of termination within the time period required under Section 18.1(a), then in addition to any other fees due under this Agreement, Seller shall pay on the termination date an early termination fee equal to (i) 0.75% multiplied by (ii) the Maximum Amount multiplied by (iii) the number of months plus any portion of any month remaining in the Initial Term or any Renewal Term (the "Early Termination Fee").

18.3. Intentionally Deleted.

18.4. Survival of Terms. The provisions of this Agreement and all of Purchaser's rights, remedies and interests hereunder shall survive any termination hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

18.5. No Lien Termination without Release. Notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations, Purchaser shall not be required to record any termination or satisfaction of its liens on the Collateral unless and until Seller and any guarantors deliver to Purchaser a general release in a form acceptable to Purchaser. Seller understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under Sections 9-509 and 9-513 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

19. Integration; Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Addendum and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, represent the final agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the Parties and this Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements between the Parties. Only a writing signed by the Parties may amend this Agreement or evidence a waiver of any breach of any term by any Party hereunder. No failure or delay in exercising any right shall impair any right that Purchaser has, nor shall any waiver by Purchaser be deemed a waiver of any default or breach occurring subsequently. Purchaser's rights and remedies are cumulative and not exclusive of each other

or of any rights or remedies that Purchaser would otherwise have.

20. Intellectual Property Rights. Any work product, databases, dashboard, software or firmware developed or used in connection with this Agreement is licensed on a nonexclusive, nontransferable, terminable basis to Seller, not sold, and is provided for the sole purpose of use in connection with the sale and purchase of Accounts during this Agreement. Purchaser retains all right, title and interest in and to all such materials, including all intellectual property rights. Seller will not, and will not allow others to, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble such work product, software or firmware. All other rights to work product, software and firmware, express or by implication, are reserved to Purchaser.

21. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

21.1. Seller release and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, owners, managers, members, attorneys, agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, Avoidance Claims, and related costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the ownership of the Purchased Accounts, or in respect of any Account or any Collateral, or in respect to any amount paid by the Seller, on behalf of Seller or for its benefit, to Purchaser, whether or not in connection with this Agreement, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party as determined by a final, non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. If Seller fails to honor this Section of the Agreement after termination thereof, Purchaser shall have the right to re-file its UCC-1 financing statement and shall have the right to pursue any and all rights and remedies against Seller as contemplated by this Agreement, the UCC or any law or in equity.

21.2. IN NO EVENT WILL PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OWNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE TO SELLER, OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

22. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that (i) this Agreement is not assignable by Seller and any attempted assignment by Seller shall be void and have no legal force or effect; and (ii) Purchaser may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, by notice to Seller, to a successor-in-interest, in conjunction with a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Purchaser's assets related to performance under this Agreement, and in the case of any merger or acquisition of Purchaser. In addition, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser may, from time to time, reassign and resell any Accounts to another person or entity, grant a security interest in Purchaser’s rights herein, or grant a participation interest in this Agreement or any other agreement with Seller, as Purchaser may its sole discretion determine (any such entity individually and collectively, a “Refactor”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of agreements entered into between Purchaser and Refactor from time to time, Seller hereby consents to any such reassignment, resale or participation. Seller agrees that all agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by it hereunder shall be deemed to be made both to Purchaser and Refactor, jointly and severally, and that the term “Purchaser” as used throughout this Agreement shall in all instances be interpreted to mean “either Purchaser or the Refactor or both of them.”

If there is more than one Seller, notice to any shall constitute notice to all; if Seller is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, the service upon any member of the Board of Directors, general partner, managing member, officer, employee or agent shall constitute service upon Seller.

Attention: Richard Lee

Dear Mr. Lee,

This Letter shall supplement and be made a part of the Amended and Restated Invoice Purchase Agreement, entered between you and us, of substantially even date herewith (with all Addendums and modifications thereto, the “AIPA”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Letter shall have that meaning as set forth in the AIPA. In the event of a conflict within the terms and provisions of this Letter and the terms and provisions of the AIPA, the terms of this Letter shall govern. In all other respects, the AIPA, as amended, modified, and supplemented hereby, shall remain in full force and effect.

As relayed in the AIPA, we are acquiring the Commercial Division assets from Petersen-Dean subject to the terms of the APA, the Sale Order (as defined in the APA entered between us and Petersen-Dean), and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, entered between you and us (the “Sale Transaction”).

As you have required, and we hereby provide, as additional consideration for your consent to the Sale Transaction, we agree that:

within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of the AIPA, we will deliver to you funds sufficient to paydown the Obligations under the AIPA to an amount equal to or less than $8,000,000.00; and

within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date of the AIPA, we will deliver to you funds sufficient to paydown the Obligations under the AIPA to an amount equal to or less than $6,000,000.00.

We acknowledge and agree that neither the Cash Bid (as defined in the APA) nor any portion thereof paid to you, will be applied to the Obligations under the AIPA or be credited toward our commitment under this Letter.

We understand that, in reliance on our commitment under this Letter, you have also agreed to the following supplemental terms for the AIPA. Upon the Effective Date of the AIPA, and provided there is no Event of Default after the Closing (as defined in the APA), including under our obligations as stated in this Letter, the AIPA will be supplemented as follows:

	1)	As a supplement to Section 16 of the AIPA, for the initial ninety (90) day period following the Effective Date, no Event of Default will exist under the AIPA on account of any default that existed under the Original IPA as of the Closing; and

		Upon termination of the AIPA, with indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations due to you and our provision of releases in your favor, all in accordance with Sections 18.1 and 18.5 of the AIPA, all liens and security interests held by you in the Collateral will be automatically terminated and released, and you will pay to us the proceeds of the Accounts that you may receive thereafter for a period of up to sixty days. After such sixty-day period, you will return such payments to the maker.

	2)	Section 7 of the AIPA shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

		“7. Repurchase of Accounts. Upon five (5) Business Days’ notice of demand by Purchaser, Seller shall repurchase any Purchased Account that Purchaser determines in its sole discretion is uncollectible or is otherwise no longer an Eligible Account, for any reason other than other than willful misconduct of Seller, and shall pay to Purchaser the then unpaid Face Amount of the Account, together with any accrued but unpaid fees relating to the Account. Seller shall immediately repurchase any Purchased Account on demand of Purchaser where Purchaser determines in its sole discretion that such Purchased Account is uncollectible or is otherwise no longer an Eligible Account as a result of willful misconduct of the Seller.”

We hereby acknowledge and agree that the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the AIPA, as supplemented hereby, are enforceable according to their respective terms, and that your rights thereunder are expressly reserved.

Very truly yours,
