2. PURCHASE AND ASSIGNMENT OF RECEIVABLES

 

2.1 Purchase

 

  (a) Account Owner hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to Receivables Purchaser (collectively, the “Assignment”), without recourse except as provided herein, all its right, title, and interest in, to, and under all Receivables in the Accounts at the Cut-Off Time, and thereafter created from time to time until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Clause 6, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect to such Receivables and the trust over the foregoing created by Seller in favour of Account Owner pursuant to the Declaration of Trust (all of the foregoing being the “Purchased Assets”). Prior to the Assignment Date, such sale shall be by way of Account Owner’s interest in the trust created by the Declaration of Trust, and from and after the Assignment Date, such sale shall be by way of the Legal Assignment of Assets.

 

  (b) In connection with such Assignment, Account Owner agrees (i) to authorise and to cooperate with Receivables Purchaser, and Receivables Purchaser agrees to file, at the expense of Receivables Purchaser, any notices, registrations, statements or other documents (including amendments or updates thereto) with respect to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets now existing and hereafter created, meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain the perfection of, the Assignment of such Purchased Assets from Account Owner to Receivables Purchaser and (ii) that such notices, registrations, statements or other documents shall name Account Owner, as seller, and Receivables Purchaser, as purchaser, of the Purchased Assets. Account Owner hereby authorises and ratifies all such filings or notices.

 

  (c) In connection with such Assignment, Account Owner and Receivables Purchaser further agree that they will, on or prior to the Closing Date, indicate in their computer files or microfiche lists that the Receivables created in connection with the Accounts have been sold to Receivables Purchaser.

 

  (d)

The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of Account Owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets (to the

 

6

 

extent that Account Owner has such rights, title and interest in the same) shall constitute a sale conveying good title, free and clear of any liens, claims, Encumbrances or rights of others arising through or under Account Owner from Account Owner to Receivables Purchaser and that the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets shall not be part of Account Owner’s estate in the event of the insolvency of Account Owner or a Dissolution Event or similar event with respect to Account Owner. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Receivables and the other Purchased Assets and not a loan, including for accounting purposes.

 

  (e) Account Owner and Receivables Purchaser agree and acknowledge that any Personal Data transferred between the parties shall only be transferred in accordance with the provisions of the Account Ownership Agreement.

 

  (f) In the event that any additional requirements are imposed or recommended by the Credit Card System in writing detailing such requirements, each party undertakes to comply with such requirements and to agree and make appropriate changes to the Cardholder Agreements and/or their operating procedures as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case within the timescale required by the Credit Card System.

 

3. CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

 

3.1 Purchase Price

The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Receivables and the related Purchased Assets shall be divided into two parts. The Purchase Price for the Pre-Signing Receivables and the related Purchased Assets shall equal the Credit Card Purchase Price. The Credit Card Purchase Price shall be payable by the Receivables Purchaser on behalf of the Account Owner directly to the Seller pursuant to Clauses 3.4 and 3.9 of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the Post-Signing Receivables arising in the Accounts on or after the Cut-Off Time, shall be an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the Principal Receivables so conveyed. The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing Purchase Price is the fair market value of the Receivables and the related Purchased Assets. The Purchase Price for the Post-Signing Receivables shall be paid by Receivables Purchaser to Account Owner or, prior to the Assignment Date, if applicable, to Seller directly, on each Business Day in immediately available funds payable by electronic transfer to the following account:

 

A/C Name:

    R. Raphael & Sons plc

Bank:

    Lloyds TSB

Sort Code:

    30-93-38

A/C No.:

    01346310

All amounts hereunder are exclusive of value added tax (“VAT”) and any applicable VAT shall be paid within fourteen (14) days of presentation of a valid VAT invoice. The parties intend and believe that the sale of the Receivables to Receivables Purchaser hereunder shall not be a taxable supply for VAT purposes.

 

7

3.2 Credit Adjustment

The Purchase Price shall be reduced on the second Business Day of each calendar month (a “Credit Adjustment”) with respect to any Receivable previously assigned to Receivables Purchaser by Account Owner which has since been reduced by Account Owner or the Servicer because of a rebate, refund, unauthorised charge or billing error to a Cardholder or because such Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by a Cardholder. The amount of such reduction shall equal the reduction in the balance of such Receivable resulting from the occurrence of such event. In the event that a reduction pursuant to this Clause 3.2 causes the Purchase Price to be a negative number in respect of which Account Owner holds such surplus sums, Account Owner agrees that, not later than 11:00 a.m., London time or as soon as possible thereafter upon receipt of funds, on such date, Account Owner shall pay to Receivables Purchaser cash in an amount equal to the amount by which the Credit Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all risk in relation to “charge back” (i.e., cancelled purchases or other transactions in which the Cardholder demands or is entitled to any rebate or refund in connection with an unauthorised charge or billing error or because such Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned) and fraud shall lie with Receivables Purchaser.

 

4. WARRANTIES

 

4.1 Warranties of Account Owner Relating to Account Owner

 

  (a) Warranties

The warranties of the Account Owner under this Agreement are given subject to, and on the basis that, the warranties of Seller in the Sale and Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and that Account Owner has made no enquiries or investigations relating to such warranties of Seller. In the event any of the warranties of Seller in the Sale and Purchase Agreement are not true and correct and, as a result, but for this provision a warranty of the Account Owner hereunder would fail to be true and correct in any respect, Account Owner shall have no liability for such incorrect warranty. Subject to the foregoing, Account Owner hereby warrants to, and agrees with, Receivables Purchaser as of the Closing Date and as of each date that Receivables and other Purchased Assets are assigned hereunder (or as of such other date specified in such representation and warranty), with respect to the Receivables and the related Purchased Assets assigned on such date, that:

 

  (i) Organisation

Account Owner is duly organised, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of England and Wales and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own the Accounts and the Purchased Assets and to operate its business relating to such Accounts and the Purchased Assets as currently owned or operated, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

  (ii) Due Qualification

Account Owner is duly authorised to do banking business in England and Wales and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in

This Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered by Account Owner pursuant hereto (such other documents or instruments, collectively, the “Transfer Instruments”) have been duly authorised by Account Owner by all necessary action on the part of Account Owner.

 

  (iv) No Conflict

Neither the execution and delivery by Account Owner of this Agreement nor the performance by Account Owner of its obligations under this Agreement will conflict with, result in a material breach of or violation of any of the terms of, or constitute (with or without notice or the lapse of time or both) a default under, the organisational documents or by-laws of Account Owner, or any rule, order, statute or regulation of the FSA or of any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Account Owner or the terms of any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument to which Account Owner is a party or by which it or its properties are bound (other than violations of such rules, orders, statutes, regulations, indentures, agreements and other instruments which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements or the Receivables and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on Account Owner or the transactions contemplated by, or its ability to perform its obligations under, this Agreement).

 

  (v) No Proceedings

There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of Account Owner, threatened, against Account Owner before the FSA or any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of Account Owner, would materially and adversely affect the performance by Account Owner of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement which, in each case, if adversely defined would be reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by, or Account Owner’s ability to perform its respective obligations under, this Agreement.

 

9

  (vi) All Consents

As far as Account Owner is aware after reasonable inquiry, no consent, approval, authorisation or order of, or filing with the FSA or any Governmental Authority is required on the part of Account Owner under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, the Consumer Credit Act 1974 or the Data Protection Act 1998 or otherwise in connection with the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by Account Owner except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, and those which the failure to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or on the ability of Account Owner to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

  (vii) Insolvency

No Dissolution Event with respect to Account Owner has occurred and the transfer of the Receivables and the related Purchased Assets by Account Owner to Receivables Purchaser has not been made in contemplation of the occurrence thereof.

 

  (viii) Performance of Obligations

As far as Account Owner is aware, (i) Account Owner has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under the Cardholder Agreements and all actions of Account Owner prior to the Closing Date have been in compliance with the Cardholder Agreements, (ii) Account Owner is not in material default under the Cardholder Agreements, and (iii) no event has occurred with respect to Account Owner’s performance under the Cardholder Agreements which, with the lapse of time or action by a third party, is reasonably likely to result in a material default by Account Owner under any such agreements that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Accounts, the Receivables or the Purchased Assets.

 

  (ix) Operation of Business

As at the Closing Date, Account Owner has not entered into any transaction or made any commitment or agreement with Cardholders in connection with the Accounts, other than in the ordinary course of Account Owner’s business consistent with the Policies and Procedures in all material respects. Account Owner has not offered any settlement options to the Cardholders of any Accounts that were (i) contained on the Account Schedule delivered to Receivables Purchaser and (ii) less than 90 days delinquent, other than in accordance with the Policies and Procedures.

 

  (x) Compliance with Laws

As far as Account Owner is aware, other than in the Cardholder Agreements, Account Owner has not made any promise, agreement or commitment to any Cardholder in connection with an Account, except in the ordinary course of business and in compliance in all material respects with the Policies and Procedures in connection with collection and customer service activities.

 

10

  (xi) Effect of Law on Sales

As far as Account Owner is aware after reasonable inquiry, there is no applicable law, rule or regulation, or order or rule of any regulatory agency that would prevent Account Owner from selling the Receivables and other Purchased Assets to Receivables Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

  (b) Notice of Breach

The warranties set forth in this Clause 4.1 shall survive the sale of the Purchased Assets to Receivables Purchaser. Upon discovery by either Account Owner or Receivables Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give written notice to the other party within three (3) Business Days following such discovery, provided that failure to give such notice shall not prejudice that party’s ability to claim in respect of the breach of warranty.

11

  (iv) as of the date of each assignment of Purchased Assets to Receivables Purchaser hereunder, this Agreement constitutes a valid sale to Receivables Purchaser of all right, title and interest of Account Owner in such Purchased Assets (to the extent Account Owner has such right, title and interest in the same).

 

  (b) Notice of Breach

The warranties set forth in this Clause 4.2 shall survive the sale of the Receivables to Receivables Purchaser.

5. COVENANTS

 

5.1 Covenants of Account Owner

Account Owner hereby covenants and agrees with Receivables Purchaser as follows:

 

  (a) Receivables Not to Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes or other Instruments

Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account or a Receivable, Account Owner will take no action to cause any Receivable sold to Receivables Purchaser hereunder to be evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, and if any Receivable is so evidenced as a result of any action by Account Owner it shall be deemed to be a Receivable described in Clause 7.1(a) and shall be reassigned to Account Owner in accordance with Clause 7.1(b).

 

  (b) Security Interests

Except for the assignments hereunder, Account Owner will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or take any other action inconsistent with Receivables Purchaser’s ownership of, the Purchased Assets, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Encumbrance arising through or under Account Owner on, any Purchased Assets or any interest therein, and Account Owner shall not claim any ownership interest in any Purchased Assets and shall defend the right, title and interest of Receivables Purchaser in, to and under the Purchased Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Account Owner.

 

  (c) Account Allocations

In the event that Account Owner is unable for any reason to sell the Receivables to Receivables Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including by reason of the application of the provisions of Clause 6.2 or any order of any Governmental Authority), then Account Owner agrees (except as prohibited by any such order or any Requirement of Law) to allocate and pay to Receivables Purchaser, after the date of such inability, all Collections received by Account Owner with respect to Principal Receivables previously sold to Receivables Purchaser. To the extent that it is not clear to Account Owner whether Collections relate to a Principal Receivable that was sold to Receivables Purchaser or to a Principal Receivable that Account Owner is unable to sell to Receivables Purchaser, Account Owner agrees that it shall allocate payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account. Notwithstanding any cessation of the sale to Receivables Purchaser of additional Principal Receivables and subject to the foregoing, Principal Receivables sold to Receivables Purchaser prior to the occurrence of the event giving rise to such inability, Collections in respect of such Principal Receivables, Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, that accrue in respect of such Principal Receivables, and Collections in respect of such Finance Charge Receivables, shall continue to be property of Receivables Purchaser.

 

  (d) Delivery of Collections

In the event that Account Owner receives Collections or any other amounts in respect of the Purchased Assets sold to Receivables Purchaser hereunder,

 

15

Account Owner agrees to pay to Receivables Purchaser (or to the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee if Receivables Purchaser so directs) all such Collections and other amounts as soon as practicable after receipt thereof.

 

  (e) Notice of Encumbrances

Account Owner shall notify Receivables Purchaser promptly after becoming aware of any Encumbrance arising through or under Account Owner on any Purchased Asset other than the conveyances hereunder.

 

  (f) Documentation of Transfer

Account Owner hereby authorises Receivables Purchaser to serve such notices or file such documents as are necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain the perfection of the sale of the Purchased Assets to Receivables Purchaser.

 

  (g) Name and Type and Jurisdiction of Organisation

Account Owner shall not change its name or its type or jurisdiction of organisation without previously having delivered to Receivables Purchaser an opinion of counsel to the effect that all actions have been taken, and all filings have been made (if any), as are necessary to continue and maintain the ownership interest of Receivables Purchaser in the Purchased Assets.

 

  (h) Account Owner’s Further Assistance

For a period of two years from the Closing Date, Account Owner will also cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to Receivables Purchaser and its representatives in obtaining access to information to assist Receivables Purchaser in securitising the Purchased Assets (or any portion thereof) (a “Securitisation”) as Receivables Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that Account Owner shall be compensated by Receivables Purchaser for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and significant management time in connection with performing its obligations under this Clause 5.1(h); provided further, however, that the foregoing (1) shall not require Account Owner to permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that would result in the disclosure of any confidential information or trade secrets of third parties, or confidential information or trade secrets of Account Owner or any Affiliate of Account Owner unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or a Securitisation, or violate any obligations of Account Owner to any third party with respect to confidentiality if Account Owner shall have used its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure, (2) shall not require any disclosure by Account Owner that shall, as a result of such disclosure, have the effect of causing the waiver of any attorney-client privilege or (3) otherwise than as provided in Clause 5.1(a) (and subject to the limitations set forth in Clause 5.1(a)), in the case of any information provided by Account Owner for inclusion in any disclosure documents or otherwise in connection with a Securitisation, shall not result in the assumption (by contract, by law or otherwise) of any liability by Account Owner or any of its Affiliates or representatives in relation to such information or such documents. The parties agree that Account Owner shall have no obligation to prepare or provide any reports other than the reports currently

 

16

prepared by it in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Policies and Procedures relating to the Accounts. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Agreements, Account Owner shall take no action after the Closing Date that would be inconsistent with or adversely affect the effective transfer by Account Owner to Receivables Purchaser hereunder of Account Owner’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets.

 

  (i) Securitisation

 

  (i) Account Owner shall deliver or cause to be delivered, for use by Receivables Purchaser in and in connection with the marketing, pricing or placement of any securities backed by the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any offering document relating thereto, including any exhibits, amendments, attachments or supplements thereto, and other materials to be delivered to investors in connection with a Securitisation (“Securitisation Materials”)), relevant and necessary historical information regarding the Accounts (other than sensitive or confidential information and trade secrets) that it may have that is not also available to the Servicer and related information regarding Account Owner, any of its Affiliates and Account Owner’s ultimate parent company, which Receivables Purchaser shows is reasonably necessary for such required purposes. Account Owner agrees that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation into the Securitisation Materials will as of the date of the Securitisation Materials and as far as Account Owner is aware at such time, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not materially misleading, and Account Owner shall provide an appropriate officer’s certificate to that effect. Account Owner shall not be required to make any certification regarding the completeness of the information used in any Securitisation Materials and, in particular, Account Owner shall not make, other than as explicitly set forth in any Securitisation Materials provided by Account Owner, any certification or representation regarding the credit quality, targeting, underwriting or credit criteria or the future performance of the Accounts or the Receivables. Account Owner’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to (1) its right to review and approve in advance the use of all information provided by it pursuant to this Clause or otherwise in any Securitisation Materials and (2) its right to require the inclusion of such additional information regarding Account Owner or the Purchased Assets in any Securitisation Materials that it reasonably believes appropriate. Any Securitisation Materials proposed to be used by Receivables Purchaser shall be presented to Account Owner no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed first use thereof by Receivables Purchaser, so as to allow Account Owner to review and approve such materials.

 

  (ii)

Receivables Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that no issuance of any securities under the Securitistion will be made by any public or registered offering, and all offers and sales of such securities shall be pursuant to transactions exempt from the registration

 

17

 

requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

 

  (iii) Account Owner shall have no liability or obligation under or in connection with a Securitisation except (A) with respect to any information provided by it under Clause 5.1(i) and (B) with respect to the other liabilities and obligations to be undertaken by Account Owner pursuant to this Agreement and the Related Agreements.

6.1 Term

This Agreement shall commence as of the date of execution and delivery hereof and shall continue until (i) the termination of the Account Ownership Agreement, (ii) mutual agreement of the parties hereto, or (iii) upon ninety (90) days written notice to the other Party upon the occurrence of a Change In Law or a change in the requirements of the Credit System in respect of which the parties are unable to agree a mutually satisfactory alternate approach (or such shorter notice period as required by such Change In Law or such change in the requirements of the Credit Card System) that the performance of the Party giving such termination notice is or has been materially and adversely affected by a Change in Law or a change in the requirements of the Credit Card System in respect of which the parties are unable to agree a mutually satisfactory alternate approach.

 

6.2 Purchase Termination

Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, Account Owner shall immediately cease to transfer Principal Receivables to Receivables Purchaser and shall promptly give notice to Receivables Purchaser of such Dissolution Event.
