(I) prepare its financial statements separately from those of any Insight Entity and insure that any consolidated financial statements of each Insight Entity thereof 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 Insight Entity 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;

(M) maintain its limited liability company agreement in conformity with this Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its certificate of formation or limited 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;

(O) maintain its limited liability company 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 membership interests or payment of any subordinated indebtedness which would cause the Required Capital Amount to cease to be so maintained; and

Seller will pay or cause to be paid, the premiums therefor and deliver to the Agent and each Managing Agent evidence satisfactory to the Agent and the Managing Agents of such insurance coverage. Copies of each policy shall be furnished to the Agent, any Managing Agent and any Purchaser in certificated form upon the Agent’s, such Managing Agent’s or such Purchaser’s request. The foregoing requirements shall not be construed to negate, reduce or modify, and are in addition to, Seller’s obligations hereunder.
(m) Payment to the Originators. With respect to any Receivable purchased by Seller from any Originator, such sale shall be effected under, and in strict 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 the applicable Originator in respect of the purchase price for such Receivable.

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party will not, and will not permit any Originator to, make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables without theeach Managing Agent’s prior written consent.

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.
