The Buyer’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and the proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (g) (collectively, the “Related Rights”) is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”

SECTION 1.2 Timing of Purchases.

(a) Closing Date Purchases. Each Seller’s entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Seller at the Cut-off Date, (ii) all Receivables created by such Seller from and including the Cut-off Date, to and including the Closing Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto automatically shall be deemed to have been sold by such Seller to the Buyer on the Closing Date.

(b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by each Seller shall be deemed to have been sold by such Seller to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.

SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Sellers in accordance with Article III and to reflect all contributions in accordance with Section 3.1.

SECTION 1.4 Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earliest to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 and (b) the Payment Date immediately following the day on which the Sellers shall have given written notice to the Buyer, the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) that the Sellers desire to terminate this Agreement.

SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Seller and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Transferred Assets, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Transferred Assets by such Seller to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Seller) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Transferred Assets conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Seller. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Transferred Assets, including without limitation any Receivables constituting general intangibles, is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment of such Transferred Assets, and a conveyance of such Transferred Assets that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Seller, then, it is the intent of such Seller and the Buyer that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and (ii) such Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets.

SECTION 3.2 Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to each Seller the Purchase Price for the Receivables generated by such Seller on such Payment Date (i) in cash or (ii) if elected by the Buyer in its sole discretion, by increasing the principal amount outstanding under such Seller’s Demand Note by an amount equal to the portion (if any) of such Purchase Price not otherwise paid in cash pursuant to clause (i) above.

Each Seller shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Demand Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and each Seller’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Demand Notes at any time.

SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a) If, (i) on the day of purchase or contribution of any Receivable from an Seller hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.10, 5.15 and 5.17 are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of such Seller, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.10, 5.15 and 5.17 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Seller as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Seller.

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned goods or services, or any discount or other adjustment made by any Seller, the Buyer or the Servicer or any setoff or dispute between any Seller or the Servicer and an Obligor as indicated on the books of the Buyer (or, for periods prior to the Closing Date, the books of such Seller), then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall be accounted to such Seller as provided in clause (c) below.

(c) Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such Seller hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Seller (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:

(i) to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Demand Note payable to such Seller, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Demand Note payable to such Seller; and

(ii) after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by such Seller in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso;

provided, further, that at any time (y) when a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Seller to the SPV (as Buyer’s assignee) by deposit in immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

 

6


SECTION 3.4 Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that a Seller has paid to the Buyer the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Buyer shall reconvey such Receivable to such Seller, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Buyer.

Exhibit B-2 Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement


10. General. No failure or delay on the part of Seller in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Demand Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Buyer and Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Demand Note to the contrary, the Buyer shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise by payable under this Demand Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Demand Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Buyer under this Demand Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Buyer under this Demand Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Buyer or any interest paid by the Buyer in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Buyer. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by Seller under this Demand Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Seller (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Seller’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to Seller (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by Seller in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to Seller on any date shall be computed at Seller’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Seller would be less than the amount of interest payable to Seller computed at Seller’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to Seller in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at Seller’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to Seller shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to Seller if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

12. Governing Law. THIS COMPANY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).
