CONSIGNMENT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

This Consignment and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) made as of the date set on the account application (“Application”) or the memorandum consignment (“Memo”) or the invoice (“Invoice”), whichever established first (“Document”), between G.C. Diamonds, LLC. (“GC”) and the entity named on the Document as the consignee (“Consignee”) and the person named as the guarantor on the Document and/or acting as guarantor of the Consignee (“Guarantor”) relates to the delivery by GC to Consignee of diamonds and/or Gems and/or jewelry and/or any other goods (“Merchandise”) on consignment. Such consignment shall be accompanied by a Memo of GC describing the Merchandise delivered.
 
For the good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, including the delivery by GC of the Merchandise on consignment to Consignee, GC and Consignee hereby agree as follows:
 
This Agreement shall be binding upon Consignee and shall be applicable with respect to any and all Merchandise delivered on consignment to Consignee by   whether prior to the Document date, as of the Document date or at any time after. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall for all purposes be deemed incorporated in each Memo of GC accompanying such consignment of Merchandise as if set forth at length therein. Consignee’s receipt of the Merchandise shall be evidenced by either: (a) the signature of acceptance of the consigned Merchandise by any officer, employee or agent of Consignee of the Memo accompanying such Merchandise; or (b) by the delivery records of the express delivery carrier or messenger service used by GC. Consignee agrees that such signature or delivery records shall be final and binding on Consignee and shall not be subject to further dispute. Any Merchandise delivered to Consignee is only for examination and inspection by Consignee or prospective purchasers of Consignee and until payment in full is made and received by GC, title to the Merchandise shall remain the sole and exclusive property of GC. Consignee shall derive no rights of ownership, of any kind, as a result of any delivery of Merchandise.
 
Consignee warrants, represents and agrees that consignee has sufficient “self-risk” insurance in effect with a reputable insurer to cover the full value of the Merchandise and any other obligations hereunder. It is further agreed and warranted by the consignee, that, GC may make claim upon consignee’s insurer(s) and any of consignor’s policies for any loss hereunder. In any such claim, consignee and its officers, directors, stockholders or employees and any one that may be subject to their control shall fully cooperate with GC and/or GC’s representatives and attorneys and perform all actions: execute all instruments, attend meetings, trials and hearings and testify at all proceedings when requested without remuneration of any kind. Any insurance claim by consignee or under its policy or policies wherefore described shall be settled and adjusted exclusively with, and paid to the GC to the extent of the consigner’s interest, hereunder which shall include all obligations and thereafter accruing interest, attorney’s fees, disbursements and consequential damages. Further, the proceeds of any claim(s) on the consignee’s insurance or up on the consignee’s insurer(s) which is assigned to consignor to the extent of consignee’s full liability for all its obligations under this agreement. If the consignor is required to bring any action against consignee and or its insurer(s), the consignee agrees to pay consignor an additional amount in and for consideration of all Legal fees, court related costs and expenses.
 
Consignee agrees that it has no right or authority, of any kind, to sell, consign, pledge, mortgage, assign, transfer, hypothecate, encumber, dispose or in any manner, to transfer title or possession of the Merchandise to any other party without the prior written consent of GC.
 
Regardless of any other transaction or trade-customs, no credit of any kind is being extended with respect to the consignment of the Merchandise to Consignee.
 
Upon delivery of the Merchandise to Consignee, in the event the Merchandise is lost, damaged or stolen, whether by Consignee or any other party, regardless whether or not such party was under Consignee’s control (and regardless of the extent of any such loss, damage or theft), Consignee shall immediately notify GC as provided for below and Consignee shall, within five (5) days after such loss, damage or theft, pay to GC by good funds in U.S. dollars at the prices set forth on the Memo, for each and every piece of lost, stolen, damaged or stolen Merchandise. Such payment by Consignee shall represent an indemnification of GC and does not constitute a sale of the Merchandise. Upon payment by Consignee to GC for the full amount of any such lost, damaged or stolen Merchandise, Consignee shall then become the owner of any Merchandise which may be recovered and shall retain any such Merchandise. Consignee: (i) will not represent to any third party that any of the Merchandise is the property of Consignee until Consignee has made payment in full thereof to GC; (ii) shall promptly notify all of its creditors that the Merchandise
does not belong to Consignee; and (iii) will at its own cost and expense keep the Merchandise free and clear of all claims, liens, charges, encumbrances, taxes and license fees.
 
Upon demand by GC, at any time, Consignee shall immediately return to GC, by a recognized overnight express delivery service and at Consignee’s expense, all Merchandise of GC on consignment in the possession of Consignee, in its original condition and fully insured. Merchandise shall not be removed from the unique packaging supplied by GC. Consignee agrees that such packed goods are unique and identifiable and such goods shall not be commingled or intermingled with any other goods.
 
Any sale of all or any portion of the Merchandise by Consignee to a third party shall only be made as provided for herein and the proceeds of the sale shall be segregated by Consignee and held in trust by Consignee for the payment to GC of any amounts due to GC. GC shall be notified within 24 hours of any such sale and GC shall then send an invoice (“Invoice”) to Consignee which shall be paid by Consignee strictly in accordance with the terms of such Invoice. Shipping and handling costs for the Merchandise shall be paid by Consignee regardless of the outcome. All payments are due and payable to GC at its principal office.
 
In the event that GC is required to commence any legal or collection action, of any kind, with respect to enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the loss, damage or theft of the Merchandise as described herein or the failure of Consignee to pay GC in accordance with the terms and conditions of any Invoice given by GC to Consignee, Consignee agrees to pay GC any and all reasonable legal fees, collection fees, filing fees, court costs and other expenses incurred by GC in connection with such failure by Consignee to make payment to GC.
 
Notwithstanding any other terms and conditions in this Agreement, in the event that any payment due from Consignee to GC pursuant to this Agreement is not received by GC as provided for hereunder, then in addition to all other rights and remedies available to GC under law and hereunder, GC shall be entitled to be paid by the Consignee a one-time fee for past due account processing not to exceed two hundred and fifthly dollars (250 USD) for each invoice not paid within the terms, and a finance charge not to exceed one and one half (1.5 %) percent per month or eighteen (18%) percent per annum (but in no event to exceed the maximum allowable rate under applicable law) on the unpaid balance due GC from Consignee.
 
The Guarantor executing the Agreement represents and warrants that he is a principal of Consignee and agrees in his individual capacity that he is absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteeing to GC as a primary obligor, the due and prompt performance of all obligations and liabilities of Consignee hereunder, including, without limitation, the due and punctual payment by Consignee of all monies now or hereafter due to GC under this Agreement. Guarantor acknowledges that GC would not enter into this Agreement except for the guarantee of Guarantor herein. Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights and defenses to which Guarantor or Consignee may otherwise be entitled to under any laws in effect at that time. This guaranty by Guarantor is a continuing guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. Guarantor waives any and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of the guaranty made by Guarantor hereunder.
 
Consignee hereby agrees that this Agreement grants to GC an irrevocable and continuing security interest in any and all Merchandise heretofore or which may hereafter be delivered on consignment by GC to Consignee and the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Merchandise by Consignee, whether in breach of this Agreement or otherwise. GC may execute, on behalf of Consignee, all instruments, including financing statements and certificates necessary to perfect and/or file a security interest under the laws of any state and under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) without notice to Consignee and without Consignee’s signature. Upon breach by Consignee of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or under any of the Invoices of GC which may be issued pursuant hereto, GC shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC, including without limitation, the right to foreclose the security interest on the Merchandise or proceeds thereof by any judicial procedure or take possession of the Merchandise, including the proceeds thereof from any sale.
 
Consignee shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without obtaining the prior written consent of GC. Subject to the foregoing, all of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon Consignee and be enforceable by GC and its respective successors and assigns. Consignee and Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees that, from time to time, each will execute and deliver any and all additional and supplemental agreements, documents, and instruments, and do such other acts as may be necessary or desirable, in the sole opinion of GC, to carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
 
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed be all of the parties hereto. Any waiver by a party of any violation of, breach of or default by any other party under any provision of this Agreement, shall not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing waiver of such provision, or waiver of any other violation of, breach of or default under any other provision of this Agreement.
 
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto, relating to the matters set forth herein and supersedes any prior oral and/or written agreements, understandings, negotiations or discussions of the parities or any trade customs or practices. No supplement, modification, waiver, or termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties to be bound thereby.
 
All notices and other communications between the parties relating to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be sent by overnight express delivery service, or delivered by hand to the addresses of the parties set forth below. Such notice shall be deemed effective on the date delivered to the address set on the Document.
 
The invalidity or enforceability of any paragraph, term, or provision hereof in no way shall affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining paragraphs, terms, or provision hereof. In addition, in any such event, the parties agree that it is their intention and agreement that any such paragraph, term, or provisions which is held or determined to be unenforceable as written, shall nonetheless be in force and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law, as though such paragraph, term, or provision had been written in such a manner and to such an extent as to be enforceable under the circumstances.
 
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. An executed facsimile or copy of this Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement and otherwise to have the same legal effect as a manually executed original of this Agreement.
 
This Agreement is delivered and made in Los Angeles, California. This Agreement shall be governed and construed under the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provisions or rules (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.
 
Each of the parties hereto consents to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of California and the Federal District Court for the Western Division of the state of California, District of Los Angeles County, for all purposes in connection with the enforcement of any rights arising hereunder. Each of the parties hereto further consents that any process or notice of motion or other application of either of said courts or judge thereof, or any notice in connection with any proceedings hereunder, may be served inside or outside the State of California or the district of Los Angeles County by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service, provided 35 days, from the date of delivery, for appearance is allowed, or in such other manner as may be permissible under the rules of said courts.
