Any balance outstanding associated with an Account for which a corporate liability waiver is requested shall become immediately due and payable. I. Notify the Bank of any Transaction the Client disputes within sixty (60) days of the last day of the Cycle during which such Transaction is charged to the Client. The Client will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Bank in attempting to obtain reimbursement from the Merchant. The Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Client in attempting to obtain reimbursement from the Merchant; provided, however, the Client understands that no chargebacks will be granted for Transactions resulting from Account usage where a Cardholder's name is not embossed on a Card or where there is no Card associated with such Account. The Client or Cardholder shall not be relieved of liability for any disputed Transaction if the chargeback is rejected. The Bank shall not be liable for any Transaction where notice of the disputed Transaction is received from the Client more than sixty (60) days after the last day of the Cycle during which such Transaction is charged to the Client. The Client shall not make a claim against the Bank or refuse to pay any amount because the Client or the person using the Card may have a dispute with any Merchant as to the goods or services purchased from such Merchant which has honored the Card for that purchase. 4. Liabilities of the Client. A. Regardless of any established Credit Limits or Account Credit Limits, the Client agrees to pay and perform when due all of its obligations, including without limitation: i) With respect to Corporate Liability Accounts, the Client shall be liable for all amounts owing and payable under or in connection with each such Account and this Agreement. The Client shall make payment as specified on Exhibit B for all Transactions posted to a Client Account as reflected on a periodic statement no later than the payment date (the "Payment Date"). If such Payment Date is a Saturday, Sunday, or Bank holiday, the payment shall be due on either the previous or the next business day as specified on the periodic statement. If all or any portion of a payment owed by the Client is not received by the Bank by the Payment Date, then any amounts outstanding shall be subject to the late fees and delinquency fees as specified on Exhibit B until payment in full of all such amounts. ii) With respect to Joint and Several Liability Accounts, the Client shall pay to the Bank, within ten days of written notice, all amounts owing and payable under or in connection with each such Account not paid by a Cardholder within 120 days of the first billing. B. The Client shall immediately notify the Bank by phone of any Account that the Client knows or suspects has been lost, stolen, misappropriated, improperly used or compromised. The Client will be liable for all Transactions made on an Account prior to notification of such lost, stolen, misappropriated, improperly used or compromised Account. The Client will further be liable for Transactions after such notification has occurred if such Transactions result in a direct or indirect benefit to the Client or any Cardholder. C. The Client's obligations shall be enforceable regardless of the validity or enforceability of a Cardholder's obligations. The Client waives any defenses based upon any i) exercise, delay or waiver of any right, power, or remedy under any Cardholder Agreement, ii) bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or any discharge, affecting a Cardholder, the Client, or others, iii) modification of any Cardholder Agreement, iv) settlement with or release of any Cardholder, and/or v) action, inaction, or circumstance (with or without the Client's notice, knowledge, or consent) that varies the Client's risks or might otherwise legally or equitably constitute discharge of a surety or guarantor. D. Payments under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank or a U.S. branch of a foreign bank. E. If the Client elects to add Convenience Check capabilities to any Account, the Client will be liable for the amount of all Convenience Checks used in connection with such Account. F. If the Client allows a Client Vendor to charge Transactions to an Account, the Client is solely responsible for instructing such Client Vendor in the handling and processing of Transactions. Client Vendors are for all purposes agents only of the Client and not of the Bank. No fee shall be payable by the Bank to any Client Vendor for performing any services. The Bank may require the Client to deliver to the Bank authorization information for each Client Vendor including, but not limited to (a) the name and address of each authorized individual of the Client Vendor, and (b) such other information in such format as the Bank may in its sole discretion require. Page 3 of 12 The Client shall immediately notify the Bank upon revoking a Client Vendor's authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Client shall be liable for all amounts owing and payable under or in connection with each such Account and this Agreement. 5. Liabilities of the Cardholder. In connection with any Joint and Several Account, the Cardholder shall be liable for all amounts owing and payable under or in connection with such Account, as provided in the Cardholder Agreement and this Agreement. 6.
