4) Authorization to File; Power of Attorney.

Buyer irrevocably authorizes Seller, as secured party, to (a) file one or more UCC financing statements (UCC‑1) and amendments/continuations in any jurisdiction Seller deems appropriate, describing the collateral in the broadest manner permitted, and (b) take any other action Seller deems necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain Seller’s security interest. Buyer appoints Seller as Buyer’s attorney‑in‑fact (coupled with an interest) solely for the limited purpose of executing and filing any record, financing statement, or amendment needed to perfect, continue, or enforce Seller’s security interest, to the extent Buyer’s signature is required under applicable law.

5) Buyer Covenants (Segregation; Identification; No Encumbrances).

Until all amounts owed to Seller are paid in full, Buyer shall:

   (a) keep the goods and, where commercially practicable, their packaging/labels, identifiable as Seller‑supplied goods,

   (b) Risk of loss transfers to Buyer as stated in Section 1, and Buyer bears all transit and delivery risk, including loss, theft, damage, misdelivery, porch/warehouse loss, and delay.

   (c) Buyer remains solely responsible for all claims by any Drop‑Ship Recipient or end customer relating to shipment, delivery, handling, or product loss/damage in transit.

   (d) Buyer’s payment obligations to Seller are unconditional and are not contingent on Buyer’s collection from the Drop‑Ship Recipient.

   (e) Seller’s security interest expressly extends to all proceeds of any drop‑ship sale, including Buyer’s accounts receivable and payment rights from Drop‑Ship Recipients and end customers, and any chargebacks, credits, or refunds relating thereto.

7) Default; Remedies; Reclamation.

Each of the following constitutes an Event of Default: (i) any late payment, (ii) Buyer’s insolvency, bankruptcy filing, assignment for benefit of creditors, or cessation/threatened cessation of business, (iii) Buyer’s breach of these terms, or (iv) Seller’s reasonable insecurity regarding Buyer’s performance.
