AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE

SECTION 2.1 Purchase, Sale and Contribution. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator hereby sells or contributes, as applicable, to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases or acquires from each Originator, as applicable, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Assets, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, acquired, or originated.

SECTION 2.2 Timing of Purchases. All of the Receivables existing at the opening of each Originator’s business on the Closing Date are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to the Buyer on such date in accordance with the terms hereof. All of the Receivables originated by any Originator on any date after the Closing Date until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date

 

2


shall be sold or contributed, as applicable, to the Buyer on such date in accordance with the terms hereof. With respect to any Receivables that are sold to the Buyer, the Buyer shall pay to the applicable Originator on the date of such sale the applicable Purchase Price for such Receivables in immediately available funds; provided, however, to the extent that the Buyer does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on the sale date in cash (such cash insufficiency being a “Deferred Payment”), the Buyer shall pay the Deferred Payment by (a) in the case of Dayforce Licensing, treating the Deferred Payment as a capital contribution, as provided in Section 2.3(e) below or (b) in the case of any other Originator, increasing the principal amount of the Subordinated Note in favor of such Originator, as provided in Section 2.3(e) below. On and after the Closing Date until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed to the Buyer immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation or acquisition of such Receivable by the related Originator. The Related Assets with respect to each Receivable shall be sold or contributed at the same time as such Receivable, whether such Related Assets exist at such time or arise, are acquired or are originated thereafter.

SECTION 2.3 Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Receivables and the Related Assets shall equal the fair market value of the Receivables and the Related Assets (taking into account a discount for the time value of money, historic and expected losses and each Originator’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.2) as agreed by the applicable Originator and the Buyer at the time of purchase or acquisition. The Purchase Price shall not be adjusted or modified after the applicable purchase date.

(b) On the date hereof, Dayforce Licensing shall contribute Receivables and the Related Assets to the Buyer as a capital contribution in the amount of the Required Capital Amount.

(c) Other than in the case of any contribution of Receivables and Related Assets to the Buyer in accordance with Section 2.3(b), the Buyer shall pay the related Originator the Purchase Price with respect to each Receivable and the Related Assets, created or acquired by such Originator and transferred to the Buyer hereunder as set forth above by transfer of funds, to the extent that the Buyer has funds available for that purpose after satisfying the Buyer’s obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(d) In the case of Dayforce Licensing, to the extent that any portion of the Purchase Price arising on any day remains unpaid after giving effect to the amount paid in cash by the Buyer as provided in Section 2.3(c) above, Dayforce Licensing shall treat related Receivables and Related Assets (or portions thereof) allocable to such unpaid portion of the Purchase Price to have been transferred by Dayforce Licensing to the Buyer as a capital contribution, in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in the Buyer held by Dayforce Licensing.

(e) In the case of any Originator (other than Dayforce Licensing), to the extent that any portion of the Purchase Price owing to such Originator and arising on any day remains unpaid after giving effect to the amount paid in cash by the Buyer to such Originator as provided in Section 2.3(c) above, the Buyer shall (i) execute and deliver in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.3(e), a subordinated promissory note

 

3


(each, a “Subordinated Note”) in a principal amount equal to such Deferred Payment and payable to the related Originator or (ii) if the Subordinated Note for such Originator is outstanding at such time, increase the principal amount of such Subordinated Note by the principal amount of such Deferred Payment; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes shall not at any time exceed or be permitted to exceed an amount that would render the Sellers’ Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. The Servicers shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to the Subordinated Notes to reflect the aggregate principal amount outstanding under each Subordinated Note. The applicable Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under each Subordinated Note. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the applicable Servicer to mark the Subordinated Note “CANCELED” and to return the Subordinated Note to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date. Each Originator acknowledges that it has received a copy of its Subordinated Note and agrees to be bound by, and to comply with, all the terms of such Subordinated Note, including, without limitation, the Subordination Provisions.

(f) In addition to contributions of Receivables and Related Assets by Dayforce Licensing to the Buyer hereunder, Dayforce Licensing may also, at its option in its sole discretion, contribute cash to the Buyer in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in the Buyer held by Dayforce Licensing. The U.S. Trade Servicer shall evidence Dayforce’s election to treat all or any portion of a Deferred Payment as a capital contribution by recording it as such on the books and records of the Buyer as maintained by the U.S. Trade Servicer, and no further notice or acceptance of any such contribution shall be necessary. Dayforce Licensing, the U.S. Trade Servicer and the Buyer shall each record on its respective books and records any capital contribution made by Dayforce Licensing to the Buyer promptly following its occurrence.

SECTION 2.4 No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale or contribution, as applicable, of Receivables and Related Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to any Originator. Each Originator and the Buyer intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or valid contributions of Receivables and the Related Assets by each Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Receivables and Related Assets (such that the Receivables and the Related Assets would not be property of any Originator’s estate in the event of such Originator’s bankruptcy).

None of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Parties or the other Affected Persons shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivables or Related Assets, nor shall the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or the other Affected Persons have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of any Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of any Originator under any Receivables or Related Assets) or to any Servicer.

(c) The Buyer and each Originator hereby grant to the applicable Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take or cause to be taken in the name of the Buyer or such Originator, as the case may be, any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate, enforce, or otherwise realize on any checks, instruments or other proceeds of the Receivables or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Buyer or such Originator or transmitted or received by the Buyer (whether or not from such Originator) or such Originator in connection with any Receivable and any Related Assets (including under the related Records).

(d) Each Originator hereby grants to the Buyer and to the Administrative Agent, as assignee of the Buyer, an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take or cause to be taken in the name of the Buyer or such Originator, as the case may be, any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate, enforce, or otherwise realize on any checks, instruments or other proceeds of the Receivables or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Buyer or such Originator or transmitted or received by the Buyer (whether or not from such Originator) or such Originator in connection with any Receivable and any Related Assets (including under the related Records). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, unless an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, neither the Buyer or the Administrative Agent, as assignee of the Buyer, shall contact any Obligor in connection with the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the applicable Servicer.

(e) Each Originator shall perform all of its obligations under the Records to the same extent as if the Receivables had not been sold or contributed, as applicable, hereunder and the exercise by each of the Buyer, any Servicer, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective designees of its rights hereunder or under the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.

SECTION 3.2 Deemed Collections. (a) If on any day:

(i) the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable originated by any Originator is: (A) reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by such Originator or any Affiliate of such Originator, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between such Originator or any Affiliate of such Originator, and an Obligor, (B) less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Information Package (for any reason other than due to the application of Collections received with respect to such Receivable), or (C) extended, amended or otherwise modified or waived or any payment term or condition of any related Contract is amended, modified or waived (except as expressly permitted under Section 9.02(a) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement); or

(ii) any of the representations or warranties of any Originator set forth in Section 4.2 were untrue when made with respect to any Receivable originated by such Originator at the time made or deemed made;

then, on such day, such Originator shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable:

(1) in the case of clauses (i)(A) or (B) above, in the amount of such reduction, adjustment or cancellation or the difference between the actual Unpaid Balance (as determined immediately prior to the applicable event) and the amount included in respect of such Receivable in calculating such Net Pool Balance or, in the case of clause (i)(C) above, in the amount that such extension, amendment, modification or waiver adversely affects the Unpaid Balance of the related Receivable; or

(2) in the case of clause (ii) above, in the amount of the entire Unpaid Balance of the relevant Receivable (as determined immediately prior to the applicable event) with respect to which such representations or warranties of such Originator were or became untrue.

Collections deemed received by any Originator under this Section 3.2(a) are herein referred to as “Deemed Collections”.

(b) To the extent that any Originator is deemed to have received a Deemed Collection and the effect of the related reduction, adjustment, modification or breach is to cause a Capital Coverage Deficit or if such reduction, adjustment, modification or breach occurs on or after the Termination Date or at any time when a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the related Originator (or the applicable Servicer on its behalf) shall within two (2) Business Days pay to a Lock-Box Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such

 

6


time) an amount equal to (x) if such reduction, adjustment, modification or breach occurs prior to the Termination Date and no Purchase and Sale Termination Event or Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the lesser of (A) the sum of all Deemed Collections with respect to such reduction, adjustment, modification or breach and (B) an amount necessary to eliminate any Capital Coverage Deficit that exists at such time and (y) if such reduction, adjustment, modification or breach occurs on or after the Termination Date or at any time when a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the sum of all Deemed Collections with respect to such reduction, adjustment, modification or breach.

SECTION 3.3 Actions Evidencing Purchases. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, each Originator (or the applicable Servicer, on behalf of such Originator) shall mark its records evidencing Receivables and Contracts in a form acceptable to the Buyer, evidencing that the Receivables originated by such Originator have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement, and none of the Originators or Servicers shall change or remove such mark without the consent of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, as its assignee. In addition, each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Buyer or the Administrative Agent, as its assignee may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the purchases, sales and contributions hereunder, or to enable the Buyer or the Administrative Agent, as its assignee to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights with respect to the Receivables and the Related Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Originator will upon the request of the Buyer or the Administrative Agent or its designee: (i) authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect the interests of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, as its assignee in the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Assets; and (ii) if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, mark its master data processing records that evidence or list such Receivables and related Contracts with a legend, acceptable to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, as its assignee, evidencing that the related Receivables have been sold or contributed in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer, the Administrative Agent or its designee (i) to file in the name of such Originator one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Assets now existing or hereafter arising and (ii) during the existence of an Event of Termination and to the extent permitted by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, to notify Obligors of the assignment of the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Assets.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 3.3(a), each Originator shall: authorize and deliver and file or cause to be filed appropriate continuation statements, not earlier than six months and not later than one month prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statements filed in connection with the Closing Date or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, if the Final Payout Date shall not have occurred.

SECTION 3.4 Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it shall be applied as specified in writing or otherwise by such Obligor or as required by Applicable Law or by the underlying Contract. If the manner of application of any such payment is not specified by the related Obligor and is not required by Applicable Law or by the underlying Contract, such payment shall, unless Buyer instructs otherwise, be applied: first, as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor, with such Receivables being paid in the order of the oldest first, and, second, to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

SECTION 3.5 Originator Accounts. Each Servicer and each Originator hereby acknowledge and agree that neither any Servicer nor any Originator has any right, title or interest in any Collections on deposit in any Originator Account. To the extent that any Originator Account is titled in the name of an Originator, such Originator is holding any such Collections on deposit in such Originator Account, solely as Buyer’s agent, in trust for the benefit of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties. To the extent that the Buyer (or following the occurrence of any Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent) instructs any Servicer or any Originator to remit any such amounts that constitute Collections on deposit in any such Originator Account, the Servicers or the Originators shall promptly remit such amounts directly to the Administrative Agent to be applied in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(j) Buyer’s Tax Status. Take or cause any action to be taken that could result in the Buyer becoming treated other than as a disregarded entity within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 that is disregarded as separate from a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

(k) Sanctions. Such Originator shall not, and will ensure that its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and joint venture partners shall not: (i) use, directly or indirectly, all or any part of the proceeds of any portion of the Purchase Price, for the purpose of funding, financing, or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of any Sanctioned Person or in any Sanctioned country or territory, or in any other manner that would result in violation of Sanctions applicable to any Dayforce Party or any Purchaser Party; or (ii) fund, directly or indirectly, all or part of, any repayment under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document out of proceeds derived from dealings with or property of a Sanctioned Person.

SECTION 7.2 Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Article VII is unavailable to an Originator Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Originator Indemnified Party harmless for Originator Indemnified Amounts, then each Originator shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Originator Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Originator Indemnified Party on the one hand and such Originator on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Originator Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

All payments and distributions received by Administrative Agent in respect of this Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first, to the payment of any and all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses) paid or incurred by Administrative Agent or the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon the Junior Liabilities, and second, any balance thereof shall, solely as between any Holder (including Company hereunder) and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Senior Interests in a manner determined by Administrative Agent to be in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement; but as between the Buyer and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests.
