Through the Services, Provider may, in accordance with this Agreement, offer to sell, assign, and transfer to Gentem as absolute owner the Provider’s future accounts, contract rights and other obligations arising from or relating to the payment of monies from an Insurer to a Provider associated with a claim (the “Future Receivables” defined as all payments made by cash, check, electronic transfer or other form of monetary payment from Insurer to Provider in the ordinary course of Provider’s business for goods or services provided by Provider to patients covered by an Insurer-sponsored insurance plan. Provider, as a seller, and Gentem, as a buyer, intend that each purchase and sale of Future Receivables under the Agreement is and shall be a true sale of such Future Receivables for all purposes and not a loan arrangement. Each such sale shall be, subject to the terms of the Agreement, absolute and irrevocable, providing Gentem with the full risks and benefits of ownership of such Future Receivables (such that the amounts payable under such Future Receivables would not be property of Provider’s estate in the event of Provider bankruptcy). Provider, as a seller, and Gentem, as a buyer, agree to treat each transfer of Future Receivables for all purposes as a sale on all relevant books, records, financial statements and other applicable documents.

1.1 Inquiries Related to Medical Factoring Service Eligibility

Provider authorizes Gentem, its agents and representatives and any third party engaged by Gentem, to (i) investigate any references given or any other statements or data obtained from or about Provider for the purpose of this Agreement, and (ii) obtain a credit report or other consumer report about you, including a personal consumer report, at any time now or for so long as Provider continues to have any obligation to deliver Future Receivables to Gentem as a consequence of this Agreement or for Gentem’s ability to determine Provider’s eligibility to enter into any future agreement with Gentem.

1.2 Purchases of Future Receivables

Provider is not obligated to offer any specific Future Receivable to Gentem for purchase.

Gentem may purchase from Provider such Eligible Future Receivable as Gentem determines. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate Gentem to purchase any Future Receivables from Provider.

1.3 Right to Future Receivables

Gentem may use the Services or other means to provide notice and instructions to Insurers regarding the proper remittance location for Future Receivables purchased by Gentem from Provider. Once Gentem purchases a Future Receivable, Provider acknowledges and agrees that Gentem’s rights to amounts due under such Future Receivable include without limitation the full right and power (a) to notify the Insurer that the amounts due or to become due upon said Future Receivable have been assigned to Gentem, (b) to contact the Insurer to verify the amounts owing upon and the validity of said Future Receivable, and (c) to collect, compromise, sue for, assign, or to enforce collection of said Future Receivable in any manner, in the name of Gentem, or in the name of any assignee of Gentem, without limitation.

With respect to each Future Receivable, Provider agrees to provide such documentation supporting and evidencing the Future Receivable as Gentem shall from time to time request.

1.4 Purchase Price

Gentem shall purchase a Future Receivable from Provider at a discount communicated by Gentem to Provider at the time of purchase (the “Purchase Price”). For current and applicable pricing, please refer to www.gentem.com/pricing. A portion of the Purchase Price will be paid to Provider at the time of purchase and the remainder of the Purchase Price will be retained by Gentem following the receipt of the Face Amount from the Insurer. In the event that an Insurer pays less than the Face Amount (the “Paid Amount”) for a Future Receivable, Gentem reserves the right to collect the difference between the Face Amount and the Paid Amount from the Provider’s next sale of a Future Receivable to Gentem.

Provider understands that it is responsible for ensuring that the Face Amount to be debited by Gentem remains in the Designated Bank Account and will be held responsible for any fees incurred by Gentem resulting from a rejected ACH attempt or an Event of Default (as defined herein). Gentem is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from Gentem ACH debiting the specified amounts under the terms of this Agreement.

The parties agree to be bound by the terms of the NACHA Operating Rules with respect to all electronic fund transfers made via ACH transaction.

Provider must promptly notify Gentem of any changes to its Designated Bank Account information. If Gentem incurs any costs, expenses or fines as a result of Provider’s failure to provide accurate information about its Designated Bank Account, its failure to promptly notify Gentem of any changes to its Designated Bank Account information, its failure to take corrective actions as reasonable requested by Gentem or its failure to notify its bank of the ACH authorization which results in rejected transactions, Provider will reimburse and indemnify Gentem for these costs, expenses or fines. In addition, Gentem reserves the right to suspend or terminate Provider’s access to any Services pending resolution of any issues with Provider’s ACH authorization or Designated Bank Account.

1.6 Credit Risk; Repurchase of Accounts; Set Off

For any repurchased Future Receivable purchased by Gentem (“Repurchased Future Receivable”), Provider shall pay to Gentem the then-unpaid Face Amount of such Future Receivable, together with any unpaid fees relating to said Future Receivable, on the next banking day following the date of receipt by Provider of the repurchase demand.

At Gentem’s option, Gentem may set off the amount due from Provider for a Future Receivable purchased by Gentem that Gentem is requiring the Provider to repurchase, and any related fees, expenses or other owed amounts, against any amount owed to Provider by Gentem and/or any and all other amounts to be paid to Provider by the Insurer (and whether or not such payments are made on the Future Receivable purchased by Gentem).

1.7 Security Interest

In the event that, notwithstanding Provider and Gentem’s mutual intent, the transfer and assignment contemplated under the Agreement is not held to be a sale, Provider hereby grants Gentem a security interest (“Security Interest”) in the Future Receivables and all proceeds arising thereunder.

This Agreement shall be deemed made in, and governed by the laws of, the state of California without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES AND CONTROVERSIES OF ANY NATURE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND PROVIDER’S USE THEREOF, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OR CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS OF ANY JURISDICTION AND WILL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION AND NOT CONSOLIDATED WITH THE CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PARTIES.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS ARISING OUT, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND PROVIDER’S USE THEREOF, AND THE RELATIONSHIPS RESULTING THEREFROM OR THE VALIDITY, SCOPE, INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN EITHER THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SITTING IN SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, AND EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the invalid or unenforceable provision, with all other provisions remaining in full force and effect.

The parties are independent contractors and no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship or lender-borrower relationship exists between Provider and Gentem as a result of the use of the Services. The failure of Gentem to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Gentem in writing. No waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver or waiver in respect of any subsequent breach or default, whether of similar or different nature, unless expressly so stated in writing. Gentem’s rights and remedies herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any rights or remedies that Gentem would otherwise have.

All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination.
