(b)    If less than all of the Committed Purchasers in any Purchase Group give a notice to the related Managing Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Committed Purchaser which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at the request of Seller or such Financing Institution’s Managing Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Committed Purchaser in its Purchase Group or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Seller or the related Managing Agent that is acceptable to the Agent, the applicable Managing Agent and the related Conduit Purchasers and willing to participate in

(ii)    Such Seller Party will (and will cause each Originator to, with respect to the Receivables originated by such Originator) (A) on or prior to the date hereof, mark its master data processing records and other books and records relating to the Purchaser Interests with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, describing the Purchaser Interests and (B) upon the request of the Agent (x) mark each related Contract constituting an instrument, chattel paper, or a certificated security under the UCC with a legend describing the Purchaser Interests and (y) deliver to the Agent all Contracts (including, without limitation, all multiple originals of any such Contract) relating to the Receivables of such Originator to the extent any such Contract constitutes an instrument, chattel paper or a certificated security under the UCC.

Such Seller Party will (and will cause each Originator to, with respect to the Receivables originated by such Originator) timely and fully (i) perform and comply in all material respects with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Contracts related to the Receivables, and (ii) comply in all material respects with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Receivable and the related Contract.

(g)    Performance and Enforcement of Receivables Sale Agreement. Seller will, and will require each Originator to, perform each of their respective obligations and undertakings under and pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, will purchase Receivables thereunder in compliance with the terms thereof and will enforce the rights and remedies accorded to Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement. Seller will take all actions to perfect and enforce its rights and interests (and the rights and interests of the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers as assignees of Seller) under the Receivables Sale Agreement as the Agent or any Managing Agent may from time to time reasonably request, including, without limitation, making claims to which it may be entitled under any indemnity, reimbursement or similar provision contained in the Receivables Sale Agreement.

(h)    Ownership. Seller will (or will cause each Originator to, with respect to the Receivables originated by such Originator) take all necessary action to (i) vest legal and equitable title to the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections purchased under the Receivables Sale Agreement irrevocably in Seller, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent and the Purchasers

Page 18




(including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Seller’s interest in such Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of Seller therein as the Agent or any Managing Agent may reasonably request), and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a valid and perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership interest (and/or a valid and perfected first priority security interest) in all Receivables, Related Security and Collections to the full extent contemplated herein, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent’s (for the benefit of the Purchasers) interest in such Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers as the Agent or any Managing Agent may reasonably request).

(i)    Purchasers’ Reliance. Seller acknowledges that the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon Seller’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from any other Person. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all steps that the Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of any Originator and any Affiliates thereof (each an “HBI Party”) and not just a division of an HBI Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Seller will:

(A)    conduct its own business in its own name and require that all full‑time employees of Seller, if any, identify themselves as such and not as employees of any HBI Party (including, without limitation, by means of providing appropriate employees with business or identification cards identifying such employees as Seller’s employees);

(B)    compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly, from Seller’s own funds, for services provided to Seller by such employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or agent of Seller is also an employee, consultant or agent of any HBI Party thereof, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between Seller and such HBI Party, on a basis that reflects the services rendered to Seller and such HBI Party;

(C)    clearly identify its offices (by signage or otherwise) as its offices and, if such office is located in the offices of any HBI Party, Seller shall lease such office at a fair market rent;

(D)    have a separate telephone number, which will be answered only in its name and separate stationery, invoices and checks in its own name;

(E)    conduct all transactions with any Originator and the Servicer (including, without limitation, any delegation of its obligations hereunder as Servicer) strictly on an arm’s‑length basis, allocate all overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and other utility charges) for items shared between Seller and

Page 19




any Originator on the basis of actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual use;

(F)    at all times have a Board of Directors or Managers consisting of three (3) members, at least one (1) member of which is an Independent Director or Manager, as applicable;

(G)    observe all corporate formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that all corporate actions relating to (A) the selection, maintenance or replacement of the Independent Director, (B) the dissolution or liquidation of Seller or (C) the initiation of, participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Seller, are duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors (including the Independent Director);

(H)    maintain Seller’s books and records separate from those of any HBI Party and otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets rather than assets of any HBI Party;

(I)    prepare its financial statements separately from those of any Originator and insure that any consolidated financial statements of any HBI Party that include Seller and that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency have notes clearly stating that Seller is a separate corporate entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Seller;

(J)    except as herein specifically otherwise provided, maintain the funds or other assets of Seller separate from, and not commingled with, those of any HBI Party and only maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Seller alone is the account party, into which Seller alone makes deposits and from which Seller alone (or the Agent hereunder) has the power to make withdrawals;

(K)    pay all of Seller’s operating expenses from Seller’s own assets (except for certain payments by an Originator or other Persons pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of this Section 7.1(i));

(L)    operate its business and activities such that: it does not engage in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or other undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and authorized by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement; and does not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (1) as a result of the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2) the incurrence of obligations under this Agreement, (3) the incurrence of obligations, as expressly contemplated in the Receivables Sale Agreement, to make payment to any Originator thereunder for the purchase of Receivables from such Originator under the Receivables Sale Agreement, and (4) the incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of business of the type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

(M)    maintain its corporate charter in conformity with this Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its Limited

Page 20




Liability Company Agreement in any respect that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 7.1(i) of this Agreement;

(N)    maintain the effectiveness of, and continue to perform under the Receivables Sale Agreement and the Performance Undertaking, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement, cancel, terminate or otherwise modify the Receivables Sale Agreement or the Performance Undertaking, or give any consent, waiver, directive or approval thereunder or waive any default, action, omission or breach under the Receivables Sale Agreement or the Performance Undertaking or otherwise grant any indulgence thereunder, without (in each case) the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Committed Purchasers;

(O)    maintain its corporate separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary.

(P)    maintain at all times the Required Capital Amount (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement) and refrain from making any dividend, distribution, redemption of capital stock or payment of any subordinated indebtedness which would cause the Required Capital Amount to cease to be so maintained; and

(Q)    take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Kirkland & Ellis LLP, as counsel for Seller, in connection with the closing or initial Incremental Purchase under this Agreement and relating to substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinion, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times.

(j)    Collections. Such Seller Party will (1) direct all Obligors to remit Collections directly to a Lock-Box or a Collection Account, (2) cause all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (3) cause each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect (except for the Bank of America Accounts, until the New Originators Eligibility Date). In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, Seller will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within one (1) Business Day following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, Seller will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers. Seller will maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the terms of this Agreement) of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not grant the right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement (except for the Bank of America Accounts, until the New Originators Eligibility Date).


Page 21




(k)    Taxes. The Seller will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books. Seller will pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the Receivables.

(l)    Payment to Originators. With respect to any Receivable purchased by Seller from an Originator, such sale shall be effected under, and in compliance with the terms of, the Receivables Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the amount and timing of payments to be made to such Originator in respect of the purchase price for such Receivable.

(m)    National Textiles Merger. Seller and Servicer shall provide the Agent and each Managing Agent no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the merger of National Textiles, L.L.C. into HBI, (i) written notice of such merger and (ii) a written description of the method Seller and Servicer will use to identify all Excluded Receivables on its respective systems, books and records.

(n)    Covenant to Amend Definition of Eligible Receivables. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby covenants and agrees that the definition of “Eligible Receivables” shall be amended, in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Seller, Servicer, each Managing Agent and the Agent, no later than 30 days following the date on which the Managing Agents complete their review of the results of the Post-Closing Field Examination if such amendment is deemed necessary or desirable by each of the Managing Agents in their sole, reasonable discretion (it being understood that any such amendment shall not affect the status of any Receivable as an Eligible Receivable prior to the effective date of such amendment).

For purposes of this paragraph (n), “Post-Closing Field Examination” shall mean the field examination designated as such by, and performed by representatives of, the Managing Agents, following April 13, 2009, of the Servicer’s collection, operating and reporting systems, the Credit and Collection Policies of the Originators, and historical receivables, data and accounts. The Managing Agents agree to provide a copy of the results of the Post-Closing Field Examination to Servicer, each other Managing Agent and the Agent within 5 Business Days of its receipt thereof.5 

Section 7.2    Negative Covenants of The Seller Parties. Until the date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Seller Party hereby covenants, as to itself, that:

(a)    Name Change, Offices and Records. Such Seller Party will not change its sole jurisdiction of organization, name, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of Section 9‑402(7) of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate its chief executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the Agent at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to the Agent

___________________________
5 Paragraph (n) was added by Amendment No. 2.


Page 22




all financing statements, instruments, legal opinions and other documents requested by the Agent in connection with such change or relocation.

(b)    Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may be required by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Seller Party will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the Agent shall have received, at least ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that the Servicer may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection Account.

(c)    Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policies. Such Seller Party will not, and will not permit any Originator to, make any change to its Credit and Collection Policy that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or materially decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables (it being understood that the replacement of the Credit and Collection Policy of any Originator (other than HBI) with the Credit and Collection Policy of HBI upon prior written notice to Agent shall not be reasonably expected to have such a material and adverse effect). Except as provided in Section 8.2(c), the Servicer will not, and will not permit any Originator to (with respect to the Receivables originated by such Originator), extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy.

(d)    Sales, Liens. Seller will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any Receivable, Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of the Agent and the Purchasers provided for herein), and Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Agent and the Purchasers in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller or any Originator. Seller will not create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory.

(e)    Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the Amortization Date shall Seller permit the Net Receivables Balance to be less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

(f)    Termination Date Determination. Seller will not designate the Termination Date (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement), or send any written notice to any Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Committed Purchasers, except with respect to the occurrence of such Termination Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of the Receivables Sale Agreement.


Page 23

(h)    Excluded Receivables. Such Seller Party will not, and will not permit any Originator to, change the method of identification of any Excluded Receivables on its systems, books or records from the method specified pursuant to Section 7.1(m) (or any subsequent method used in compliance with this subsection (h)) without ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent and each Managing Agent.


ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1    Designation of Servicer.

(a)    The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. HBI is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the Required Committed Purchasers, may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Default designate as Servicer any Person to succeed HBI or any successor Servicer.

(b)    Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Committed Purchasers, HBI shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) an Originator with respect to the Receivables originated by such Originator and (ii) with respect to certain Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. None of the Originators shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by HBI and any such further delegation by an Originator shall constitute a covenant breach by the Servicer hereunder. The Agent may with the consent of, and shall at the direction of the Required Committed Purchasers, at any time following the occurrence of a Servicer Default, designate as Servicer any Person other than HBI, whereupon all duties and responsibilities of HBI as Servicer hereunder shall cease and all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by HBI to any Originator as sub-servicer may, at the discretion of the Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to HBI.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), unless and until HBI is replaced as Servicer, (i) HBI shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Managing Agents, the Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with HBI in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Managing Agents, the Agent and the Purchasers shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than HBI in order for communication to the Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. HBI, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement and, if HBI is no

Page 24




longer the Servicer hereunder, any replacement Servicer shall be responsible for providing any such notice to any sub-servicer or delegate.

Section 8.2    Duties of Servicer.

(a)    The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy.

The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit VI with each Collection Bank. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

(b)    The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(c)    The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(d)    The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related

Page 25




Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Agent, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the Agent or any Managing Agent, furnish to the Agent or such Managing Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

(e)    Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to an Originator or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor and such Originator (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3    Collection Notices. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller hereby transfers to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, effective when the Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent rather than Seller.

Section 8.4    Responsibilities of Seller and Servicer. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. None of the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller.

Section 8.5    Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to each Managing Agent and the Agent (i) at any time during which a Downgrade Event has occurred and is continuing, on each Business Day, a Daily Report which will include information regarding the Receivables as of the previous Business Day, (ii) at any time during which (A) HBI’s issuer rating is below BB+ by S&P or (B) HBI’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating is below Ba1 by Moody’s, on Wednesday of each week (or if such Wednesday is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), a Weekly Report which will include information regarding the Receivables for the seven (7)-day period ending (and including) the immediately preceding Friday, (iii) (x) prior to May 2009, on the third Thursday of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and (y) commencing in May 2009, on the 23rd day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), and at such other additional times as the Agent or any Managing Agent shall request, a Settlement Report which will include information regarding the Receivables for the most recently ended

Page 26




Calendar Month and (iv) at such times as the Agent or any Managing Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.6 

Section 8.6    Servicing Fees. In consideration of HBI’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as HBI shall continue to perform as Servicer hereunder, Seller shall pay over to HBI a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) on each Settlement Date, in arrears for the immediately preceding month, equal to 1.0% per annum of the average aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables during such period, as compensation for its servicing activities.

Section 8.7    Servicer Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Default”.

(a)    any Amortization Event in respect of the Servicer, other than the Amortization Events described in Sections 9.1(e) and (f); or

(b)    any collection, billing or accounting systems failure which has a Material Adverse Effect on the Servicer's ability to either collect the Receivables or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

(vi)    the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;

(vii)    any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of an Incremental Purchase or a Reinvestment, the ownership of the Purchaser Interests or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Seller in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(xii)    any action or omission by the Seller which reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;

(xiii)    any attempt by any Person to void any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; or

(xiv)    the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

Section 10.2    Indemnities by Servicer. Without limiting any other rights that the Agent, the Managing Agents or any Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them relating to or resulting from:

(c)    taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal executive office is located, on or measured by the overall net income of such Indemnified Party to the extent that the computation of such taxes is consistent with the characterization for income tax purposes of the acquisition by the Purchasers of Purchaser Interests as a loan or loans by the Purchasers to Seller secured by the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and the Collections; or

(d)    Indemnified Amounts to the extent they resulted from an action brought by any Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party not involving any Seller Party, any Originator or any Subsidiary of any Seller Party or any Originator;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of Servicer or limit the recourse of the Indemnified Parties to Servicer for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by Servicer under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.3    Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

If after the date hereof, any Funding Source shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) that subjects any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments tosubjects any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreementto any taxes (except for changes in the rate of taxtaxes imposed on the overall net income of a Funding Source or taxes excluded by Section 10.1) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment

Page 34




calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, within five (5) Business Days after demand by the applicable Managing Agent, Seller shall pay to the applicable Managing Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source for such increased cost or such reduction, in each case, solely to the extent that such increased cost or such reduction is attributable to the financing, ownership, commitment to fund, funding or maintenance of any Purchaser Interest (as opposed to the assets generally held by the Indemnified Parties and not related to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Regulatory Change” regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.10 

Section 10.4    Other Costs and Expenses. Seller shall pay to the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers within five (5) Business Days after demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of the Conduit Purchasers’ auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 7.1(d)), reasonable fees of the ratings agencies, reasonable fees and out‑of‑pocket expenses of legal counsel for each Conduit Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Agent (which such counsel may be employees of such Conduit Purchaser, such Managing Agent or the Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising each Conduit Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement; provided that in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of only one legal counsel for the Agent, the Managing Agent and the Purchasers party hereto on the date hereof, provided further that Seller shall not be responsible for the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all Persons entitled to payment of such fees and expenses under this Section 10.4 unless, as reasonably determined by such Person or its counsel, representation of all such Persons by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests among them. Seller shall pay to the Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after demand any and all costs and expenses of the Agent, such Managing Agent and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.

applicable Managing Agent, the Seller shall pay to the Agent or such applicable Managing Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Entity, such amounts as such Affected Entity reasonably determines will compensate or reimburse such Affected Entity for any resulting (i) fee, expense or increased cost charged to, incurred or otherwise suffered by such Affected Entity, (ii) reduction in the rate of return on such Affected Entity’s capital or reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Entity or (iii) internal capital charge or other imputed cost determined by such Affected Entity to be allocable to the Seller or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement in connection therewith. Amounts under this Section 10.5 may be demanded at any time without regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by any Conduit or by any Affected Entity; provided, however, that in no event may any Affected Entity (or the applicable Agent or Managing Agent on its behalf) claim or receive reimbursement or compensation for amounts under this Section 10.5 that would exceed 2.00% per annum on the Group Purchase Limit for the related Purchaser Group from the date such Accounting Based Consolidation Event occurs. If the Agent or any Managing Agent becomes or reasonably believes that it will become entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become or will become so entitled; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights to demand payment under this section.

If any Affected Entity (or the applicable Agent or Managing Agent on its behalf) requests compensation under this Section 10.5, then the Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Affected Entity and its related Managing Agent, require the entire related Purchaser Group (but may not require less than all of the Purchasers and the Managing Agent in such Purchaser Group) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.1), all of their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to assignees that shall assume such obligations (which assignees may be other Purchasers if such Purchasers accept such assignment); provided that each such assigning Purchaser and Managing Agent receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Person’s share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to such Purchaser and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of such Purchaser Group’s share of the Purchaser Interests.11 

Section 10.6    Status of Purchasers.

(a)    Any Purchaser that is a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”)) shall deliver to the Seller, the
related Managing Agent and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller, Managing Agent or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(b)    Any Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller, the related Managing Agent and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter

upon the reasonable request of the Seller, Managing Agent or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)    in the case of a Purchaser claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty;
    
(ii)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)    in the case of a Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Purchaser is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(iv)    to the extent a Purchaser is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;

(c)    If a payment made to a Purchaser under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller, the related Managing Agent and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller, such Managing Agent or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller, such Managing Agent or the Agent as may be necessary for the Seller, such Managing Agent or the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Section 10.7    Refunds.

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.1, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Section 10.1 with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 10.7 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the

Page 37




contrary in this Section 10.7, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 10.7 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

Upon any such assignment, any such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, Seller and each Committed Purchaser hereby agree that any assignee of any Conduit Purchaser of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser Interests of any Conduit Purchaser shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Conduit Purchaser” explicitly referred to such party, and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of any Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Each Conduit Purchaser shall notify the Agent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.1(a). Neither Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

Section 12.2    Participations. Any Committed Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its share of the Purchaser Interests, its Commitment or any other interest of such Committed Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a

Page 42




Committed Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, the Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Each Committed Purchaser that sells a participating interest shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Purchased Interests (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Committed Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 13.15    Characterization.

(a)    It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without recourse to Seller; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall be liable to each Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser, any Managing Agent or the Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller or any Originator or any other person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Contracts, or any other obligations of Seller or any Originator.

(b)    In addition to any ownership interest which the Agent and the Purchasers may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, Seller hereby grants to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and the other Indemnified Parties a valid and perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following assets, now existing or hereafter arising: (i) all Receivables, (ii) the Collections, (iii) each Lock-Box, (iv) each Collection Account, (v) all Related Security, (vi) all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables, (vii) all of Seller’s rights, title, and interest in, to and under the Performance Undertaking and the Sale Agreements (including, without limitation, (a) all rights to indemnification arising thereunder and (b) all UCC financing statements filed pursuant thereto), (viii) all proceeds of any of the foregoing, and (ix) all other assets in which the Agent has acquired, may hereafter acquire and/or purports to have

Page 51




acquired an interest hereunder to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. The Agent and the Purchasers shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, within the meaning of 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as secured party for the benefit of itself and of the Indemnified Parties, to file, without the signature of the Seller or any Transferor, as debtors, the UCC financing statements contemplated herein and under the Receivables Sale Agreement.

(c)    In connection with Seller’s transfer of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables Sale Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Agent shall have the right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Receivables Sale Agreement, to receive all amounts payable thereunder or in connection therewith, to consent to amendments, modifications or waivers thereof, and to direct, instruct or request any action thereunder, but in each case without any obligation on the part of the Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser or any of its or their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement. To the extent that the Seller enforces the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Receivables Sale Agreement, from and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, and during the continuance thereof, the Agent shall have the exclusive right to direct such enforcement by the Seller.

(d)    If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed above, any sale or transfer by Seller hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. In the case of any Recharacterization, the Seller represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections to the Agent or the Purchasers hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred in the ordinary course of its business or financial affairs and (ii) made in the ordinary course of its business or financial affairs.

Section 13.16    USA PATRIOT Act. Each Committed Purchaser that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Seller Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Seller Party, which information includes the name and address of the each Seller Party and other information that will allow such Committed Purchaser to identify each Seller Party in accordance with the Act.
