(b) The Seller may, upon at least 30 days’ notice to the Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer, terminate the purchase facility provided in Section 1.1(a) in whole or, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Maximum Amount; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000, or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall not reduce the Maximum Amount below $100,000,000. Any such reductions shall be applied to the Commitments of the Purchasers on a pro rata basis (based on unused Commitments) or as otherwise consented to by the Agent.

Section 1.2. Making Purchases. (a) Each purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided ownership interests with regard to any Participation of any Purchaser hereunder shall be made upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex A delivered to the Agent (who will forward such notice to the applicable Purchaser Agent) in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by such Purchaser Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Chicago time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such proposed purchase. Each such notice of any such proposed purchase shall specify the desired amount and date of such purchase and the desired duration of the initial Yield Period for the related Portion of the Investment of such Participation; provided each proposed purchase shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Purchaser Agent shall select the duration of such initial Yield Period with respect to the Portion of the Investment funded by the Purchaser(s) for which it is acting as Purchaser Agent and each subsequent Yield Period in connection with such Portion of Investment in its discretion; provided that it shall use reasonable efforts, taking into account market conditions, to accommodate Seller’s preferences.

(b) On the date of each purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided ownership interests with regard to the Participation of any Purchaser, such Purchaser shall, subject to Section 1.1(a) and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II hereto, make available to its Purchaser Agent (at its address set forth on the signature pages hereto or of the applicable Joinder Agreement), in same day funds, an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (subject to Section 1.13) of the amount of such purchase.

Following the delivery of such notice, on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause the remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of Collections (after giving effect to allocations of more senior priority items under Section 1.4(c) above) to be transferred to the Liquidation Account and the Agent shall hold therein such amounts for the benefit of the Purchasers until the aggregate amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction, at which time such amount shall be allocated to repay the outstanding Investment of the Purchasers ratably according to their respective Purchaser Percentages, with such reduction to be applied first to the Investment of the Revolving Purchasers and then to the Investment of the Non-Revolving Purchasers (and otherwise subject to Section 1.13); provided, that upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all such Collections set aside shall instead be held for distribution in accordance with Section 1.4(e); and provided, further, that,

(1) unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, the amount of any such reduction with respect to each Purchaser shall be not less than $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the entire Investment (if any) of the Participation after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $100,000,000,

(g) Distributions of Investment Upon Paydown Day. On each Paydown Day (including on any day the Aggregate Participations exceed 100%), the remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of any remaining Collections (after giving effect to allocations of more senior priority items in Section 1.4(c)), shall be transferred by the Servicer from the Deposit Accounts to the Liquidation Account and held therein by the Agent and allocated to repay the outstanding Investment of the Purchasers ratably according to their respective Purchaser Percentages (with such reduction to be applied first to the Investment of the Revolving Purchasers and then to the Investment of the Non-Revolving Purchasers and otherwise subject to Section 1.13); provided, that on the first day that is not a Paydown Day or a Termination Day, the Agent shall hold all funds allocated to repay Investment pursuant to this subsection for distribution in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(c); and, provided, further, that upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all Collections allocated to repay Investment pursuant to this subsection shall instead be held for distribution in accordance with Section 1.4(e).

   6    Third Amended and Restated
      Receivables Purchase Agreement


(h) Withdrawals from Cash Reserve Account. If on any Draw Date (A) insufficient funds are on deposit in the Liquidation Account to make in full all required distributions of Discount and fees and (B) since the prior Draw Date funds have been released to the Seller and not used by the Seller to acquire Receivables, the Seller shall deposit into the Liquidation Account on or before such Draw Date the lesser of the amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) above for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers. If on any Draw Date insufficient funds are on deposit in the Liquidation Account (after giving effect to any deposits made by the Seller as described in the preceding sentence) to make in full all required distributions of Discount and fees for such Draw Date, the Agent shall distribute funds from the Cash Reserve Account in payment of such Discount and fees as if such funds were funds on deposit in the Liquidation Account held for the benefit of the applicable Purchaser. On any Termination Day, to the extent directed by the Majority Purchasers, the Agent shall distribute funds from the Cash Reserve Account pursuant to Section 1.4(e) as if such funds were funds on deposit in the Liquidation Account held for the benefit of the applicable Purchaser and, following the payment in full of all outstanding Investment, any remaining amounts on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account shall be distributed as Collections pursuant to Section 1.4(e). If on any Business Day other than a Termination Day, after giving effect to all distributions on such day pursuant to Section 1.4, the amount on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account exceeds the Cash Reserve, such excess shall be released from the Cash Reserve Account and treated as Collections for purposes of Section 1.4 for the following Business Day.

Section 1.5. Fees. (a) The Seller shall pay to the Purchaser Agents certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in a letter dated April 20, 2007 between the Seller, AFC and the Purchaser Agents, as such letter agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Fee Letter”).

(b) The Seller shall pay to the Backup Servicer the Backup Servicing Fees and any Transition Expenses in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Backup Servicing Fee Letter, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time with the prior written consent of the Agent.

Section 1.6. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer to, or for the benefit of, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, the Agent or the Backup Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the day when due in same day funds to the Liquidation Account. All amounts received after noon (Chicago time) will be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(b) The Seller, AFC or Servicer (as applicable) shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid by the respective party to the applicable Person when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to [*].

(c) All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Discount, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made no later than the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

   7    Third Amended and Restated
      Receivables Purchase Agreement


Section 1.7. Dividing or Combining Portions of the Investment of any Participation. The Seller may, on any Yield Period End Date, either (i) divide the Investment of any Purchaser into two or more portions (each, with respect to the applicable Participation, a “Portion of Investment”) equal, in aggregate, to the Investment of such Purchaser, provided that after giving effect to such division the amount of each such Portion of Investment shall be not less than $1,000,000, or (ii) combine any two or more Portions of Investment outstanding on such Yield Period End Date and having Yield Periods ending on such Yield Period End Date into a single Portion of Investment equal to the aggregate of the Investment of such Portions of Investment.

Section 1.8. Increased Costs. (a) If any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, the Agent, any Liquidity Bank, any Related CP Issuer, any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that the existence of or compliance with (i) any law or regulation or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or occurring after the date hereof or (ii) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) issued, occurring or first applied after the date of this Agreement affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of or otherwise to maintain the investment in Pool Receivables related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility or credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon written demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Agent and the applicable Purchaser Agent (if any)), the Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments or maintenance of its investment in the Pool Receivables; provided that within 30 days of an Affected Person’s knowledge of any such circumstance such Affected Person shall notify the Seller in writing of the same and whether such Affected Person will request that the Seller indemnify it for such circumstance. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller, the Agent and the applicable Purchaser Agent (if any) by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, the first application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including, without limitation, FASB Interpretation No. 46R), shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive subject to this Section 1.8(a).

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of the related Participation(s) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, then, upon written demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such

 

   8    Third Amended and Restated
      Receivables Purchase Agreement


increased costs; provided that within 30 days of an Affected Person’s knowledge of any such circumstance such Affected Person shall notify the Seller in writing of the same and whether such Affected Person will request that the Seller indemnify it for such circumstance. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller, the Agent and the applicable Purchaser Agent (if any), by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 1.9. Dilutions; Application of Payments.

(a) if on any day

(i) the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any discount, rebate or other adjustment made by the Originator, Seller or Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller, Originator or the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment; or

(ii) any of the representations or warranties in paragraphs A.(g) or A.(o) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full.

Any such deemed Collections shall be deposited by the Seller into the Liquidation Account on the first Business Day of the calendar week following deemed receipt thereof.

(b) Except as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied in accordance with the Contract with such Obligor and the Credit and Collection Policy.

(c) If and to the extent any Secured Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Secured Party shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

Section 1.10. Requirements of Law. In the event that any Affected Person determines that the existence of or compliance with (i) any law or regulation or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or occurring after the date hereof or (ii) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement:

(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the applicable Participation(s) or in the amount of Investment relating thereto, or does or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable hereunder (excluding taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Affected Person, and franchise taxes imposed on such Affected Person, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Person is organized or a political subdivision thereof);

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate hereunder; or

(iii) does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is (x) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of acting as a Purchaser Agent or Agent or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided ownership interests with regard to the applicable Participation or any Portion of Investment (or interests therein) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate or (y) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly) funded or maintained by reference to the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate, then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Affected Person the Seller shall pay the Agent, for the account of such Affected Person, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred. A certificate from such Affected Person to the Seller certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for, calculation of, and amount of such additional costs or reduced amount receivable shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; provided, however, that no Affected Person shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate.

Section 1.11. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event that any Purchaser Agent shall have determined prior to the first day of any Yield Period for the Participation of its Purchaser (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, either (a) dollar deposits in the relevant amounts and for the relevant Yield Period are not available, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Yield Period or (c) the Eurodollar Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost (as conclusively determined by such Purchaser Agent) to any Purchaser for which such Purchaser Agent acts as agent of maintaining each such Portion of Investment of such Purchaser during such Yield Period, such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Seller prior to the first day of such Yield Period. Upon delivery of such notice (a) no Portion of Investment of such Purchaser shall be funded thereafter at the Bank Rate determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, unless and until the applicable Purchaser Agent shall have given notice to the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, and (b) with respect to any outstanding Portions of Investment then funded at the Bank Rate determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, such Bank Rate shall automatically be converted to the Bank Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate at the respective Yield Period End Dates relating to such Portions of Investment.

Section 1.12. Additional and Replacement Purchasers, Increase in Maximum Amount. (a) The Seller shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, with the prior written consent of the Agent to add any entity as a Purchaser hereunder (which addition may increase the Maximum Amount if a Purchaser is added) or increase the Maximum Commitment of any existing Purchaser. No increase in the Maximum Commitment of a Purchaser hereunder shall be effective unless, if the increasing Purchaser is a Note Issuer, such Note Issuer shall have received written confirmation by the Rating Agencies that such action shall not cause the rating on the then outstanding Notes of such Note Issuer to be downgraded or withdrawn. Each such addition of a new Purchaser hereunder shall be effected by delivery to the Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, of a Joinder Agreement executed by the Seller, the Servicer, the Agent, such new Purchaser and its Purchaser Agent (if different from the Purchaser) in substantially the form of Annex C hereto. Upon receipt of a Joinder Agreement, if such Joinder Agreement has been fully executed and completed and is substantially in the form of Annex C, the Servicer shall, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such Joinder Agreement give prompt written notice to all Purchaser Agents, the Agent and Purchasers as to (i) the name, identity and address for receiving notices of the new Purchaser(s) and Purchaser Agent(s) becoming party hereto, (ii) the Maximum Commitment of such new Purchaser, (iii) the change in the Maximum Amount and (iv) the effective date of such Joinder Agreement. Immediately upon the effectiveness of such Joinder Agreement, such additional Purchaser shall purchase, by wire transfer of immediately available funds its Participation. Effective with the payment of such amounts, such new Purchaser and its Purchaser Agent designated in the applicable Joinder Agreement shall each become parties hereto.

(b) By executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement, each new Purchaser and Purchaser Agent confirms to and agrees with the Agent and each other Purchaser and Purchaser Agent party hereto as follows: (A) such new Purchaser has received a copy of this Agreement, and the Purchase and Sale Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Joinder Agreement; (B) such new Purchaser has made and will continue to make, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (C) such new Purchaser appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (D) such new Purchaser and its Purchaser Agent agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Purchaser or Purchaser Agent.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, in the event that any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent (i) does not consent to an amendment of clause (ii) of the definition of Termination Date to which the Seller and the Servicer have otherwise consented; or (ii) does not consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement agreed to by the Seller, the Servicer and the Majority Purchasers but which requires the consent of such Purchaser, then, in any such event, the Seller shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Agent, to require such Purchaser to assign its interests in its Participation and the Pool Receivables and all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a replacement Purchaser acceptable to the Agent and the

      Receivables Purchase Agreement


Seller. Any such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind on the part of the assigning Purchaser, except that such assignment is free and clear of any Adverse Claims created by such Purchaser, and shall be consummated pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the assignor and assignee on not less than ten days’ prior written notice, at a purchase price equal to the sum of (w) the aggregate outstanding Investment of the Purchaser being so replaced; (x) all accrued and unpaid Discount on such Investment; (y) all accrued and unpaid Program Fees owed to or on behalf of such Purchaser; and (z) all other accrued and unpaid expenses, indemnities and other amounts owing under this Agreement to such Purchaser, including any Termination Fees caused by the above-described assignment. Concurrently with any such assignment, the Seller, the Servicer, such replacement Purchaser and its Purchaser Agent (if different from the Purchaser) shall execute a Joinder Agreement to evidence the terms and conditions under which such replacement Purchaser has agreed to become a Purchaser hereunder.

Section 1.13. Special Allocation Provisions for Non-Revolving Purchasers. Notwithstanding the definitions of “Pro Rata Share” or “Purchaser Percentage” and the provisions of Section 1.2(b), 1.4(f) and 1.4(g), such definitions and provisions shall be adjusted such that the Investment of each such Non-Revolving Purchaser shall remain (i) constant prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date or (ii) subject to such other limitations specified in the applicable Joinder Agreement of such Non-Revolving Purchaser.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS

Section 4.1. Appointment of Servicer. (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as Servicer in accordance with this Section 4.1. Until the Majority Purchasers give notice to the Seller, the Agent and the Servicer (in accordance with the following sentence) of the designation of a new Servicer, AFC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Majority Purchasers may designate the Backup Servicer or any other Person (including the Agent) to succeed the Servicer, on the condition that any such Person so designated (other than the Backup Servicer, except to the extent specified in the Backup Servicing Agreement) shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof unless otherwise consented to by the Majority Purchasers.

(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in Section 4.1(a) hereof, the Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner which the Agent determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include (without limitation) access to and transfer of all records and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer agrees that, at any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Servicer shall, at the request of the Agent (i) promptly identify all branch offices, loan processing offices or other locations at which the Pool Receivable Documents are then being held, (ii) allow the Agent or its designee full access to all such locations and all Pool Receivable Documents, (iii) promptly arrange, at the Servicer’s expense, the transfer of possession of all such Pool Receivable Documents to the Backup Servicer, any successor Servicer or other third-party custodian specified by the Agent

 

   17    Third Amended and Restated
      Receivables Purchase Agreement


and (iv) instruct the Servicer’s agents and any person with whom the Servicer or its agents have contracted to hold any such Pool Receivable Documents to provide full access to, and/or transfer possession of, any Pool Receivable Documents held by such agent or contractor. The Servicer agrees to take no action which would impede or impair the ability of the Agent or its designees to gain access to the Pool Receivable Documents or to obtain possession thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof. The parties hereto agree that the covenants contained in the foregoing sentence are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Secured Parties in the Pool Receivables. Accordingly, in addition to other remedies provided at law or equity, upon any breach by the Servicer of the covenants contained in the second preceding sentence, the Agent shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief by and against the Servicer prohibiting any further breach of such covenants, without the necessity of proving irreparable injury or posting bond.

(c) The Servicer acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Purchaser Agents, the Agent and the Purchasers have relied on the Servicer’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, the Servicer agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.

(d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each, a “Sub-Servicer”); provided that, in each such delegation, (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable to the Secured Parties for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Secured Parties shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for such performance and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Majority Purchasers may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 4.1(a) above by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to such Sub-Servicer); provided further, no such delegation shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Majority Purchasers.

Section 4.2. Duties of Servicer; Relationship to Backup Servicing Agreement. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement, accepted industry standards and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer shall set aside for the accounts of the Seller, the Backup Servicer and the Purchasers the amount of the Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Section 1.4. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including without limitation computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable and all Pool Receivable Documents. The Servicer (if the Servicer is AFC or one of its Affiliates) shall stamp each page of each Contract related to a Pool Receivable with the following legend “This Receivable has been sold to AFC Funding Corporation and an interest therein has been granted to BMO Capital Markets Corp. as Agent”. During such period as a Backup Servicer is required to be maintained hereunder, the Servicer agrees to provide the Backup Servicer with an electronic (scanned) copy of each Contract related to a Pool Receivable and with monthly updates thereafter upon receipt of which the Backup Servicer shall perform a conversion and reconciliation of the Receivables data and recalculate

 

   18    Third Amended and Restated
      Receivables Purchase Agreement


the Servicer Report. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent may direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security; provided, however, that no such direction may be given unless a Termination Event has occurred. AFC is hereby appointed the custodian of the Pool Receivable Documents for the benefit of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that such appointment may be terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. AFC, or an affiliate on its behalf, will maintain fidelity and forgery insurance and adequate insurance to replace all Pool Receivable Documents due to casualty loss or theft of such documents. In performing its duties as servicer and custodian, AFC shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that AFC exercises with respect to the files relating to all comparable contracts that AFC owns or services for itself or others. AFC shall (i) maintain the Pool Receivable Documents in such a manner as shall enable the Agent and the Purchaser Agents to verify the accuracy of AFC’s recordkeeping; and (ii) promptly report to the Agent and the Purchaser Agents any failure on its part or the part of its agents to hold the Pool Receivable Documents and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Upon termination of AFC’s appointment as custodian hereunder and the delivery of the Pool Receivable Documents to the successor custodian, the successor custodian shall review such documents to determine whether it is missing any documents, and AFC shall cooperate with the successor custodian and use its best efforts to assist the successor custodian to obtain the missing documents. AFC shall maintain continuous custody of the Pool Receivable Documents in secure facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody.

(b) In the event the Backup Servicer becomes the successor Servicer hereunder, any applicable terms and conditions of the Backup Servicing Agreement relating to its performance as successor Servicer shall be deemed to be incorporated herein, and the obligations and liabilities of the successor Servicer (as such obligations and liabilities apply to the Backup Servicer acting in such capacity) shall be deemed to be modified in accordance with the provisions thereof. To the extent that any conflict exists between the terms of this Agreement and the Backup Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Backup Servicing Agreement shall control.

(c) The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. After such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer in connection with this Agreement.

(d) During such period as a Backup Servicer is required to be maintained hereunder, the Servicer shall provide the Backup Servicer and the Agent and each Purchaser Agent (if requested) on a monthly basis an electronic download with respect to the Pool Receivables in form and substance acceptable to the Backup Servicer (and which shall include, but not be limited to, all records related to each Receivable required by the Backup Servicer to service and collect such Receivable).

(e) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event or a Level One Trigger, the Servicer shall provide to the Backup Servicer and the Agent and each Purchaser Agent (if requested) on a daily basis an electronic download with respect to the Pool Receivables in form and substance acceptable to the Backup Servicer (and which shall include,

 

   19    Third Amended and Restated
      Receivables Purchase Agreement


but not be limited to, all records related to each Receivable required by the Backup Servicer to service and collect such Receivable) and a Portfolio Certificate (including information with respect to all Collections received and all Receivables acquired by the Seller). Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Level One Trigger, the Agent shall have the right to require the Seller or the Servicer to, and upon such request the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall, assemble all of the Contracts and make the same available to the Backup Servicer or other third-party custodian specified by, and at a place selected by, the Agent within 30 days.

Section 4.3. Deposit Accounts; Establishment and Use of Certain Accounts.

(i) Deposit Accounts. On or prior to the date hereof, the Servicer agrees to transfer ownership and control of each Deposit Account to the Seller. Seller has granted a valid security interest in each Deposit Account to the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to Section 1.2(d) and shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Agent to cause the security interest to be perfected under the applicable UCC.

(ii) Cash Reserve Account. The Agent has established and will maintain in existence the Cash Reserve Account. The Cash Reserve Account shall be used to hold the Cash Reserve and for such other purposes described in the Transaction Documents.

(iii) Liquidation Account. The Agent has established and will maintain in existence the Liquidation Account. The Liquidation Account shall be used to receive Collections from the Deposit Accounts pursuant to Section 1.4(b) and to hold amounts set aside for the Purchasers, the Backup Servicer and (if the Servicer is not AFC or an Affiliate of AFC) the Servicer out of the Collections of Pool Receivables prior to the applicable Settlement Dates and for such other purposes described in the Transaction Documents. No funds other than those transferred in accordance with Section 1.4 shall be intentionally transferred into the Liquidation Account.

(iv) Permitted Investments.

(m) Separate Corporate Existence.

Therefore, from and after the date hereof, the Seller and AFC shall take all reasonable steps to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of AFC, the Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of AFC or any other Person.

To the extent, if any, that the Seller and the Originator or any Affiliate thereof share items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered, it being understood that Originator shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, legal and other fees;

(vi) The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by Originator or any Affiliate thereof unless the Seller shall have agreed in writing with such Person to reimburse such Person for any such payments;

(vii) The Seller will have its own separate mailing address and stationery;

(viii) The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of the Originator or any Affiliate thereof;

4. The Originator or the Originating Lender, as applicable, thereof has perfected its security interest against the Obligors in the property securing the Receivables (to the extent that a security interest in such property can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement).

Creation

5. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Adverse Claim, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only Permitted Liens.

6. Originator has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Receivables to the Seller required by the terms of the Receivables that constitute instruments or payment intangibles.

   EX-VII-1    Third Amended and Restated
      Receivables Purchase Agreement


financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement to the effect that: A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

8. With respect to Receivables that constitute an instrument or tangible chattel paper:

Such instruments or tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Servicer and the Agent has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of the Originator and the Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law, and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement to the effect that: A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

9. With respect to the Cash Reserve Account, the Deposit Account and the Liquidation Account and all subaccounts of such accounts that constitute deposit accounts, either:

(i) The Seller has delivered to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, directing disposition of the funds in such accounts without further consent by the Seller; or

(ii) The Seller has taken all steps necessary to cause the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to become the account holder of such accounts.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Perfection Representations contained in this Exhibit VII shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any termination of the commitments or any replacement of the Servicer or termination of Servicer’s rights to act as such) until such time as Investments and all other obligations under the Agreement have been finally and fully paid and performed.

16. No Waiver. The parties to the Agreement: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes, waive any of the Perfection Representations; and (ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach), waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

  2.5 Citizenship

It is AFC’s policy to lend only to U.S. Citizens, Canadian Citizens, and/or Non-U.S. Citizens who are legal permanent residents of the Unites States (“Legal Permanent Resident”). When considering whether to extend credit to a Legal Permanent Resident, AFC will do so without regard to the applicant’s specific race, nationality, or ethnic origin; rather it will consider the application under the totality of the circumstances.

The Credit Department will maintain the current legal requirements to be considered a Legal Permanent Resident. All discrepancies must be discussed with the Legal Department or outside Counsel.

AFC reserves the right, through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)/Privacy Act (PA), to require a Legal Permanent Resident to obtain verification of the validity of their documentation via a formal request through the FOIA/PA.

 

  2.6 Credit Limits and Advances

Since credit limits may be set or altered by a State from time to time, the Credit Department and Legal Department will monitor this on an ongoing basis. Additionally, it might be a requirement of a State to have a minimum advance on the dealer’s line. These regulations will also be monitored and adjusted accordingly.

Currently the States of CA and VA have an INITIAL minimum advance requirement of $5,000.

  12.1.1 Temporary Increase Policy

The purpose of the temporary increase is to accommodate a dealers sporadic buying needs and to allow for increased buying power while a credit line increase is being processed. Dealers are permitted to go over their credit line by an approved amount for a given period of time. The dealer’s account may fluctuate up and down within that time frame as long as the account balance remains under the temporary approved credit line. The credit line must be under the standard credit limit by the end of the temporary increase period or the account will be restricted from flooring.

All Overlines that exceed a temporary increase by [*] must be approved by the COO, VP of Finance, or President (in the event that they are not available, the DCS can approve).

Rental Floorplans

Rental floorplans operate in much the same way as do retail floorplans with a few marked exceptions.

Their fee, interest and term structure is designed to reflect the nature of the rental industry. Application procedures for rental accounts mirror those of the retail floorplan.

Although rental accounts differ in term and rate, they are maintained to the same standard as a retail account. Dealers must be reviewed on an annual basis; credit line reviews for increases are completed as well as periodic lot audits.

  13.2 Contract Execution Policy

The purpose of this memorandum is to establish AFC’s policy regarding the signing, witnessing, and notarizing of AFC contracts, exhibits, and Amendments.

US branches/Alberta Dealers: All contracts, exhibits and amendments must be signed by the dealer in the presence of an AFC employee. Each branch must have at least one employee who is a notary, and have access to at least one other notary who is known by an AFC employee. (I.e. an auction employee)

AFC - Credit Policy


 

These notaries and no others will be used to notarize applicable exhibits and amendments, including all guaranties.

Canadian branches/except Alberta Dealers: All Contracts, exhibits and amendments must be signed by the dealer in the presence of two witnesses, at least one of which must be an AFC employee. If an amendment or exhibit that requires the signature of two witnesses is not signed by both witnesses, it will be returned as incorrect.

All branches: The Notary/Witnesses must be present at the time of signing. A notarized/witnessed copy of the contract must be given to all signors. Each branch will verify the identity of the parties and compare signatures on the contract with a signature on a signor’s picture identification in a form of either a driver’s license or passport. Each branch will also be required to write down the photo ID number of the contract signers at the bottom of the dealer contract application page.

 

  13.3 AFC Reinstatement Policy

Purpose

Should an active dealer be designated as a potential loss necessitating a PLN Notice, and subsequently considered for reinstatement of a credit line, the following procedures are required.

The following procedures are also required if the dealership files for bankruptcy protection under chapter 7, 11, or 13. This would result in a BANKRUPTCY LOCKOUT.

Requirements

Branch Manager: Recommends reinstatement procedures are activated via an e-mail to the respective Regional Manager describing in detail the reason for the request. The cause of the potential loss, how the potential loss was resolved (i.e.; PIF or PN), the current status of the account, and what the dealer has done to prevent reoccurrence of a potential loss must be a part of this recommendation. The recommended dollar amount of the reinstatement credit line must be less than the previous credit line. Additionally, if this is a bankruptcy, we need the date of filing, the type filed, and the date of discharge or dismissal.

Regional Manager: Reviews the Branch Manager recommendation. Either concurs or rejects the recommendation. If rejected- the issue is closed. If concurs- forwards recommendation e-mail to the Collection Manager with appropriate comments.

Collection Manager: Reviews the recommendation and either concurs or rejects with appropriate comments. Forwards recommendation e-mail to Credit Manager.

Credit Manager: Reviews the recommendation and completes the Review Process Matrix. Upon completion, routes to DCS for review. The DCS then forwards recommendation with appropriate comments to the respective Area Vice President for final concurrence or rejection.

 

  SCH I -21   Third Amended and Restated
    Receivables Purchase Agreement


AFC - Credit Policy


 

Division Vice President: Reviews the recommendation and determines final concurrence or rejection. Upon completion, forwards file with appropriate comments to the Collection Manager.

Collection Manager: If recommendation is rejected, dealer file is re-filed with the collection accounts. If concurrence, the lockout is removed, the Branch Manager is notified, and the dealer file is re-filed in the Credit Department as an active dealer.

Required Documents:

 

   

AFC Review Worksheet

 

   

Dealer Request Form

 

   

Lot Audit Summary

 

   

If a term or rate change, submit a ROGI and approval by Regional Manager.

File will be reviewed for the following:

 

   

[*]

[*]

As a general rule the standard reinstatement process must be performed when a PLN has been previously entered. If a dealer cures the default prior to any vehicle being 30 days delinquent or written off, the Collection Manager and the Regional Manager have the authority to waive the reinstatement process. Thereafter, only the President, COO or any two of the following VP of Collections, Corporate Counsel, and any of the divisional VP’s have the authority to waive the reinstatement process. If the reinstatement process has been waived the Collections Department will immediately inform the Credit Department of such waiver. In the case of a bankruptcy the entity or person which AFC has contracted with (i.e. not a guarantor) must go through a reinstatement process and there will be no waivers allowed.

 

  13.4 Credit References

From time to time AFC is asked to provide credit references for dealers that we have done business with. In order to protect AFC and its dealers, please forward all inquiries to the corporate Credit Department.

 

  13.5 Forced Placed Insurance

To establish a line of credit with AFC the dealer is required to insure all collateral against risks. The dealer shall provide AFC with copies of its current policies of insurance yearly that include; Comprehensive and Collision coverage and physical damage coverage for a limit of not less than 50% of their approved credit line. [*]

If a dealer does not provide AFC with the required insurance documentation within a specified timeframe the dealer will automatically be enrolled in AFC’s Vehicle Inventory Protection (VIP) Program. The dealer also has the opportunity to voluntarily sign-up for the VIP insurance program.
