ARTICLE I AGREEMENT TO SELL SECTION 1.1 SALES AND CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) Agreement to Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Article V), and in consideration of the Purchase Price, from the Initial Closing Date (or, in the case of Mack Printing, Port City and any other Seller made a part of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 (each, an "Additional Seller"), from the related Seller Addition Date) until the Sale Termination Date, each Seller agrees to sell, assign and transfer, and does hereby sell, assign and transfer to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase, and does hereby purchase from each Seller, all of such Sellers' right, title and interest in and to: (i) each Receivable of such Seller that existed and was owing to such Seller as of the close of such Seller's business on the Initial Cut-Off Date (or, in the case of any Additional Seller, as of the close of such Additional Seller's business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Seller Addition Date (the "Additional Seller Cut-Off Date")); (ii) each Receivable created or originated by such Seller from the close of such Sellers' business on the Initial Cut-Off Date (or in the case of an Additional Seller, 3 from the close of such Additional Seller's business on the related Additional Seller Cut-Off Date), to and including the Sale Termination Date; (iii) all rights to, but not the obligations under, all Contracts and all Related Security with respect to the Receivables originated by such Seller whether now existing or hereafter acquired; (iv) all monies due or to become due with respect to the foregoing; (v) all books and records related to any of the foregoing whether now existing or hereafter acquired; (vi) all Lock-Boxes, the Collection Account, all amounts on deposit therein and all related agreements between such Seller and the Lock-Box Banks, in each case to the extent constituting or representing items described in paragraph (vii) below; and (vii) all Collections in respect of, and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of, Receivables sold, assigned and transferred to the Company hereunder or any other of the foregoing received on or after the Initial Cut-Off Date (or, in the case of an Additional Seller, on or after the related Additional Seller Cut-Off Date) including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by such Seller, the Company or the Master Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of Receivables sold, assigned and transferred to the Company hereunder, or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors (including without limitation, insurance payments, if any, that such Seller or the Servicer (if other than such Seller) applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed in respect of any Receivable sold, assigned and transferred to the Company hereunder and net proceeds of sale or other disposition of repossessed goods or other collateral or property of the Obligors or any other party directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Receivable and available to be applied thereon). All purchases hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the respective Seller, set forth in each Transaction Document. The proceeds and rights described in subsections (iii) through (vii) of this Section 1.1(a) are herein collectively called the "Related Rights". (b) [Reserved]. (c) Absolute Transfer. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Receivables and Related Rights by each Seller to the Company as provided in this Section 1.1 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale or assignment, without recourse, of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Seller to the Company. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Seller to the Company to secure a debt or other obligation of such Seller. If, however, notwithstanding 4 the intention of the parties, the conveyance provided for in this Section 1.1 is determined to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a "security agreement" within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and such Seller hereby grants to the Company a "security interest" within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of such Seller's right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights, now existing and hereafter created, to secure a loan in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Prices therefor and each of such Seller's other payment obligations under this Agreement. (d) Capital Contributions. Cadmus may from time to time, at its option, make capital contributions to the Company in cash. Such capital contributions may be used by the Company (i) prior to the Sale Termination Date, for any purpose, including, without limitation, the payment of any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and (ii) on and after the Sale Termination Date, solely for the payment of its obligations to third parties under the Receivables Purchase Agreement until such obligations have been paid in full. SECTION 1.2 TIMING OF PURCHASES. (a) Initial Closing Date Purchases. On the date of the first Purchase under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "Initial Closing Date") each Original Seller sold to the Company, and the Company purchased, pursuant to Section 1.1, such Original Seller's entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Original Seller as of the close of such Original Seller's business on the Initial Cut-Off Date, and (ii) all Related Rights with respect thereto. (b) Initial Additional Seller Purchases. On each Seller Addition Date, the related Additional Seller shall sell to the Company, and the Company shall purchase, pursuant to Section 1.1, such Additional Seller's entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Additional Seller as of the related Additional Seller Cut-Off Date, and (ii) all Related Rights with respect thereto. (c) Subsequent Purchases. After the Initial Closing Date (or, in the case of any Additional Seller, after the related Seller Addition Date), and continuing until the Sale Termination Date, each Receivable described in Section 1.1(a)(ii), and all the Related Rights with respect thereto, created or originated by a Seller has been or shall be sold by such Seller to the Company (without any further action) upon the origination of such Receivable. All such Receivables have been or shall be sold to the Company on such date. SECTION 1.3 CONSIDERATION FOR PURCHASES. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to make all Purchase Price payments to each Seller in accordance with Article III. 5 SECTION 1.4 SALE TERMINATION DATE. The "Sale Termination Date" shall be the earlier to occur of (i) with respect to a particular Seller, the date (if any) that is such Seller's Mandatory Seller Termination Date or Permissive Seller Termination Date and (ii) the Termination Date under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. ARTICLE II CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE SECTION 2.1 CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. On each Reporting Date (commencing with the first Reporting Date following the Initial Closing Date), the Sellers shall deliver to the Company, the Agent and the Master Servicer a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a "Purchase Report") with respect to the Company's purchases of Receivables from the Sellers: (a) that existed and were owing on the Initial Cut-Off Date (in the case of the first Purchase Report to be delivered hereunder) and (b) that (i) were originated by any Seller or (ii) existed and were owing to any Additional Seller on any Additional Seller Cut-Off Date occurring during the Settlement Period immediately preceding such Reporting Date (in the case of each successive Purchase Report). Each Purchase Report shall designate the amount of such Receivables that were Eligible Receivables on the date of origination (or, in the case of Receivables transferred on the Initial Closing Date or any Seller Addition Date, on the Initial Closing Date or such Seller Addition Date, as the case may be). The "Purchase Price" (to be paid to a Seller in accordance with the terms of Article III) for the Receivables and the Related Rights sold and transferred by such Seller to the Company hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the following formula: PP = AUB - (AUB X FMVD) where: ----- PP = Purchase Price (to be paid to such Seller in accordance with the terms of Article III) as calculated on the relevant purchase date or Reporting Date. AUB = (i) for purposes of calculating the Purchase Price for Receivables sold or transferred by such Seller on the Initial Closing Date (or, in the case of any Additional Seller, on the related Seller Addition Date), the aggregate 6 Unpaid Balance of all such Receivables that existed and were owing to such Seller as measured as at the Initial Cut-Off Date, or Additional Seller Cut-Off Date, as the case may be, and (ii) for purposes of calculating the Purchase Price for Receivables as of each Reporting Date thereafter, the aggregate Unpaid Balance of the Receivables described in Section 1.1(a)(ii) that were originated by such Seller during the immediately preceding Settlement Period. FMVD = Fair Market Value Discount Factor, which is the sum of the Loss Discount and the Cost Discount, in each case as calculated on the Initial Closing Date, any Seller Addition Date or the most recent Reporting Date, as the case may be, as set forth in the definitions below. "Loss Discount" as measured on the Initial Closing Date, any Seller Addition Date, or any Reporting Date, as the case may be, means the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (i) the losses (i.e. write-offs to the bad debt reserve or other write-offs consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy of the related Seller, in each case, net of recoveries) recognized for all Pool Receivables during the period equal to twelve (12) successive months ending on the Cut-Off Date immediately preceding the Initial Closing Date, such Seller Addition Date or such Reporting Date, as the case may be, divided by (ii) the Collections on all Pool Receivables received during such period. "Cost Discount" as measured on the Initial Closing Date, any Seller Addition Date or any Reporting Date, as the case may be, means a percentage determined in accordance with the following formula: CD = (TD/360) x CR where: CD = the Cost Discount as measured on the Initial Closing Date, such Seller Addition Date or such Reporting Date, as the case may be; TD = the Turnover Days, as set forth in the most recent Purchase Report; and CR = the Cost Rate as measured on the Initial Closing Date, such Seller Addition Date or such Reporting Date, as the case may be. "Cost Rate" as measured on the Initial Closing Date, any Seller Addition Date or any Reporting Date, as the case may be, means a per annum percentage rate equal to the sum of (i) the LIBO Rate for the Initial Closing Date, such Seller Addition Date or the related Settlement Period, as the case may be, plus (ii) 5.0%. 7 "LIBO Rate" for the Initial Closing Date, any Seller Addition Date or any Settlement Period, as the case may be, means the offered rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16th of one percent) appearing in The Wall Street Journal for three month LIBOR loans on the Initial Closing Date, such Seller Addition Date or the first Business Day of such Settlement Period, as the case may be. "Turnover Days" at any time during a Settlement Period, means the product of (a) a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate Unpaid Balance of all Receivables as of the first day of the next preceding Settlement Period and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of collections received on all Receivables during such next preceding Settlement Period and (b) the number of days in such next preceding Settlement Period. ARTICLE III PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE SECTION 3.1 INITIAL PURCHASE PRICE PAYMENT. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to the applicable Sellers on the Initial Closing Date (or, in the case of any Additional Seller, on the related Seller Addition Date) the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made by the Company with respect to Receivables existing on the Initial Cut-Off Date or the related Additional Seller Cut-Off Date, as the case may be, (a) in cash in an amount equal to the amount received by the Company in connection with the first Purchase made pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement (provided that if the aggregate of the Purchase Prices exceeds the amount of cash so received by the Company, the Company shall apply such amount of cash ratably among the Purchase Prices payable to such Sellers) and (b) by the issuance of a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to each Seller (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, being herein called a "Seller Note") in the initial principal amount equal to the remainder of the Purchase Price owing to such Seller on the Initial Closing Date or such Seller Addition Date, as the case may be, after subtracting the amount paid in cash. SECTION 3.2 SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PRICE PAYMENTS. On each Business Day after the Initial Closing Date (or, in the case of any Additional Seller, on each Business Day after the related Seller Addition Date) on which a Seller sells and transfers any Receivables to the Company hereunder until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4, the Company shall pay to each Seller a portion of the Purchase Price due pursuant to Section 2.1 by depositing into such account as such Seller shall specify immediately available funds from monies then held by or on behalf of the Company solely to the extent that such monies do not constitute Collections that are required to be identified and held in trust by the Master Servicer pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement or required to be distributed to the Agent or the Purchaser pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement or 8 required to be paid to the Master Servicer as the Servicer's Fee on the next Settlement Date, or otherwise necessary to pay current expenses of the Company (in its reasonable discretion) (such available monies, the "Available Funds") and provided that such Seller has paid all amounts then due from it hereunder. To the extent that the Available Funds are insufficient to pay the Purchase Price then due in full, the remaining portion of such Purchase Price shall be paid by increasing the principal amount owed to such Seller under the related Seller Note, effective as of the last day of the related Settlement Period; provided, however, that the aggregate of the principal amounts outstanding at any time under the Seller Notes may not exceed the lesser of (a) $5,500,000 and (b) 10% of the Purchase Limit. To the extent that (x) the amount due pursuant to Section 2.1 with respect to all Receivables created or originated by a particular Seller that arose during the corresponding Settlement Period is exceeded by (y) the amount paid to such Seller during such Settlement Period pursuant to the foregoing sentences for such Receivables, such excess shall be treated as a reduction in the principal amount of the related Seller Note, effective as of the last day of the related Settlement Period; provided, however, that if at any time the unpaid principal amount of such Seller Note has been reduced to zero, such Seller shall pay the Company the remainder of such excess payment in immediately available funds. Each Seller shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to its Seller Note to reflect payments by the Company thereon and such Seller's books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of and accrued interest on the related Seller Note. Each Seller shall return its Seller Note to the Company upon the final payment thereof after the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4. SECTION 3.3 SETTLEMENT AS TO SPECIFIC RECEIVABLES. If an officer of any Seller obtains knowledge or receives notice from the Company or the Agent that (a) on the day that any Receivable conveyed to the Company hereunder was created or originated by such Seller, (or, in the case of Receivables transferred on the Initial Closing Date or any Seller Addition Date, on the Initial Closing Date or such Seller Addition Date, as the case may be) any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.1(l) was not true with respect to such Receivable, or such Receivable was designated as an Eligible Receivable on the related Purchase Report and was not an Eligible Receivable or, (b) on any day any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.1(l) with respect to any Receivable is no longer true with respect to a Receivable (each such Receivable, an "Ineligible Receivable"), then the Purchase Price with respect to Receivables of such Seller that arose during the same Settlement Period in which such knowledge is obtained or notification is received shall be decreased by an amount equal to the Unpaid Balance of such Ineligible Receivable as of the related Settlement Date; provided, however, that if there have been no purchases of Receivables (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables to create a Purchase Price large enough to so reduce by the amount of such net reduction) from such Seller during such Settlement Period, any amount owed by which the Purchase Price payable to such Seller would have been reduced pursuant to the immediately preceding clause of this sentence shall be paid by either (at the option of such Seller, unless the Company will, absent such payment in cash, be unable to meet its obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement on the next occurring Settlement 9 Date, in which case such Seller shall make a cash payment on or before such Settlement Date) a reduction in the principal amount of the related Seller Note (but not below zero) or by payment within two Business Days after the related Reporting Date in cash by such Seller to the Company by payment of same day funds; provided, further, that if the Company receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Ineligible Receivable after such Settlement Date, the Company promptly shall deliver such funds to such Seller. The enforcement of the obligations of the Sellers set forth in this Section 3.3 shall be the sole remedy of the Company with respect to Ineligible Receivables. SECTION 3.4 SETTLEMENT AS TO DILUTION. Each Purchase Report shall include, in respect of the Receivables previously conveyed by the related Seller, a calculation of the aggregate net reduction in the aggregate Unpaid Balance of such Receivables owed by particular Obligors on account of any defective, rejected or returned merchandise or services, any cash discount, any incorrect billings or other adjustments, or setoffs in respect of any claims by the Obligor(s) thereof (whether such claims arise out of the same or a related or unrelated transaction), or any rebate or refund during the most recent Settlement Period. The Purchase Price to be paid to such Seller for the Receivables generated by it during the Settlement Period for which such Purchase Report is delivered shall be decreased by the amount of such net reduction; provided, however, that if there have been no purchases of Receivables (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables to create a Purchase Price large enough to so reduce by the amount of such net reduction) from such Seller during such Settlement Period, any amount owed by which the Purchase Price payable to such Seller would have been reduced pursuant to the immediately preceding clause of this sentence shall be paid by either (at the option of such Seller, unless the Company will absent such payment in cash, be unable to meet its obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement on the next occurring Settlement Date, in which case, such Seller shall make a cash payment on or before such Settlement Date) a reduction in the principal amount of its Seller Note (but not below zero) or by payment within two Business Days after the related Reporting Date in cash by such Seller to the Company by payment of same day funds. SECTION 3.5 RECONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES. In the event that any Seller has paid (by effecting a Purchase Price reduction or otherwise) to the Company the full Unpaid Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4, the Company shall reconvey such Receivable and all Related Rights with respect thereto to such Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, but free and clear of all Liens created by the Company; and such reconveyed Receivables and all Related Rights shall no longer be subject to the terms of this Agreement (including any obligation to turn over Collections to the Agent on behalf of the Purchaser with respect thereto). SECTION 3.6 REBILLED RECEIVABLES. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2(h) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Master Servicer or the relevant Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, may, prior to the Rebill 10 Termination Date, rebill one or more Receivables which have been conveyed by such Seller to the Company hereunder due to one or more errors in the original invoice or to reflect a discount given to the Obligor thereof. If any such Receivable is so rebilled prior to the occurrence of the Rebill Termination Date, then: (a) the Seller of such Receivable shall repurchase the Original Receivable at a price equal to the Unpaid Balance thereof on the date such Receivable is rebilled and, pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1, convey the Rebilled Receivable to the Company on the date such Receivable is rebilled; and (b) the Seller thereof shall be entitled to receive the Purchase Price of each Rebilled Receivable, provided, however, that the Sellers and the Company agree that if the Unpaid Balance of the Rebilled Receivable exceeds the Unpaid Balance of the Original Receivable, the amounts shall be netted and such excess shall be the "Unpaid Balance" for purposes of calculating the Purchase Price of the Rebilled Receivable; provided, further, however the Sellers and the Company agree that if the Unpaid Balance of the Original Receivable exceeds the Unpaid Balance of the Rebilled Receivable, the amounts shall be netted and such excess shall be paid or credited to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4. No Receivable conveyed by any Seller to the Company hereunder may be rebilled on or after the occurrence of the Rebill Termination Date.
