Notwithstanding the foregoing, Collateral shall not include any Goods sold for fair market value to a bona fide third-party purchaser. Customer expressly represents and warrants to BlueX Pay that it holds and maintains valid and perfected liens, title, and/or security interests in the Collateral, including any created by way of (as applicable): (a) carrier’s and/or warehouse liens upon the Collateral under Article 7 of the Uniform Commercial Code, U.S. maritime law, and/or other applicable law; (b) consensual security interests in the Collateral under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law; and/or (c) general and continuing liens pursuant to contractual agreements with its customers and/or its tariffs in effect governing the goods and services provided by Customer or Seller to its customers.

This lien and security interest shall be in addition to any other rights BlueX Pay has or may acquire under other agreements, conventions, tariffs and/or applicable laws, and shall survive delivery or releases of any Collateral. In the event of any failure to fund or in the event of a non-sufficient funds notification or failure to pay any amounts due hereunder, Customer shall notify all parties having an interest in its shipment(s) of BlueX Pay ‘s rights and/or the exercise of such lien. Unless, within thirty (30) days of receiving Notice of BlueX Pay’s intent to exercise such lien, Customer posts cash or letter of credit at sight, or, if the amount due is in dispute, an acceptable bond equal to 110% of the value of the total amount due, in favor of BlueX Pay, guaranteeing payment of the monies owed, plus all charges accrued or to be accrued, BlueX Pay shall have the right to sell such shipment(s) at public or private sale or auction and any net proceeds remaining thereafter shall be refunded to Customer.
