(e)                                  any commingling of collections of the Purchased Accounts with funds of any Seller or any of its affiliates; and

 

(f)                                    any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of purchases hereunder or the ownership of, or in respect of, any Purchased Account or related Contract.

(b)                                 In the event Purchaser incurs, directly or indirectly, additional Costs not contemplated in Annex A, the Sellers shall immediately pay Purchaser such Costs upon notice by Purchaser; provided, that the Sellers shall not have any obligation under this Section 15(b) to the extent such additional Costs arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser as determined in an arbitration pursuant to Section 16 or by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
