Property to be Sold. From time to time, Owner will designate items of personal property (the "Property") that it desires to provide to PropertyRoom for Disposition Services. PropertyRoom retains the right to accept or reject certain items in its sole discretion. 2. Title. Owner shall retain legal title to the Property until it is purchased by auction or otherwise disposed of in accordance with this Agreement at which time Owner will be deemed to have transferred title to the purchaser or other acquirer of the item of Property. Owner appoints PropertyRoom as its attorney-in-fact to sign any and all documents necessary to assign to purchasers of Property all of Owner's right, title and interest in and to Property sold or disposed. All cash receipts, accounts receivable, contract rights, notes, general intangibles, and other rights to payment of every kind, arising out of the sales and dispositions of Property (collectively the "Proceeds") belong to Owner, subject to PropertyRoom's right to PropertyRoom's Net Proceeds and funds attributable to Credit Card Costs and other transaction costs. Owner's Property shall, at all times before sale or disposition, be subject to the direction and control of Owner. 3. Method of Selling Property. PropertyRoom will, on Owner's behalf, list Property for sale by auction to the public on the World Wide Web of the Internet on one or more domain names selected by PropertyRoom. To the extent that any Property is not sold by auction, PropertyRoom may, in any commercially reasonable manner selected by PropertyRoom, dispose of Property. PropertyRoom will determine all aspects, terms and conditions of auctions of Property and dispositions of Property not purchased at auction, subject to the ultimate control of Owner. PropertyRoom will be responsible for all phases of submitting the Property for auction, including, but not limited to, determining when Property will be auctioned, setting the opening and reserve prices of Property, if any; determining the selling price, setting the length of time a Product will be auctioned; creating text and graphics to describe and depict Property submitted for auction; collecting all purchaser information (such as purchaser's name, billing address, shipping address, and credit card information); approving purchasers' credit card purchase transactions; and collecting auction proceeds for completed sales from purchasers. PropertyRoom shall use its best efforts in auctioning and selling the Property on the Internet and disposing of Property that does not sell at auction. PropertyRoom shall sell and dispose of all Property "as is" without any liability to the Owner. PropertyRoom is solely responsible for identifying and resolving sales and use tax collection issues arising from Property sales, including the necessity of charging and collecting such taxes. 4. Allocation of Sales Proceeds. a. The total amount paid by the purchaser shall be called the "Sales Price". The Sales Price shall include the winning bid amount (the "Winning Bid") and all costs, shipping and handling charges, taxes, and insurance costs associated with the transaction and paid by the purchaser. b. For each item of Property, Owner will be credited with 50% of the first $1,000 of the Winning Sid and 75% of the portion, if any, of the Winning Bid that exceeds $1,000. From this amount, the owner's pro rata share of transaction fees, if any, assessed by the credit card processor ("Credit Card Costs") will be deducted. c. Credit Card Costs will be borne by Owner and PropertyRoom in proportion to the percentage of the revenue credited to the parties for each underlying transaction. d. Amounts received by the Owner will be called "Owner's Net Proceeds". The following example illustrates how proceeds of a sale are to be allocated. Assume an item of Property sells at auction for a Winning Bid of $100; the buyer pays shipping and handling of $10, insurance of $2, and sales tax of $6. The buyer pays the Sales Price of $118.00 by credit card, and the Credit Card Costs are 2% of the Sales Price. The Credit Card Cost is therefore $2.36 ($118 x .02). The Owner and PropertyRoom each share 50% of the underlying Winning Bid, therefore Credit Card Costs are also shared equally ($1.18 each). The Owner's Net Proceeds are $48.82 ($50.00 less $1.18). 5. Payment Terms. Not less than once every month, PropertyRoom will pay to Owner the amount of Owner's Net Proceeds payable for completed sales during the preceding month. Sales are deemed completed when all items comprising a line item on the original manifest or other list of Property are sold. With each payment of Owner's Net Proceeds, PropertyRoom will make available to Owner a detailed report setting forth the following information for the immediately preceding month: (i) the completed sales during the prior month, including the total amount of related proceeds collected, the Owner's and PropertyRoom's share of Credit Card Costs, the Owner's Net Proceeds; (ii) other dispositions of Property during the month; (iii) the Property, if any, inventoried by PropertyRoom at the end of the month. 6. PropertyRoom's Obligations Concerning Property in Its Possession. With respect to Property in PropertyRoom's possession: (i) Property Room will exercise due care in the handling and storage of any Property; (ii) Page 2 of 4 6/12/02 PropertyRoom shall keep the Property free of liens, security interests, and encumbrances, and shall pay when due all fees and charges with respect to the Property; (iii) PropertyRoom shall sign and deliver to Owner any UCC-1 financing statements or other documents reasonably requested by Owner; (iv) PropertyRoom shall obtain and maintain insurance in an amount (determined by PropertyRoom) not less than the replacement value of Property in its possession. The insurance will cover the Property against fire, theft, and extended coverage risks ordinarily included in similar policies.
