22


against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity. With respect to each Purchaser, none of the execution and delivery by such Purchaser of this Agreement, the consummation by such Purchaser of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the fulfillment by such Purchaser of the terms hereof will conflict with, or violate, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any term or provision of the organizational documents of such Purchaser or any Governmental Rule applicable to such Purchaser.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 9.01. Indemnification. (a) The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) (collectively, “Seller Losses”), as incurred (payable promptly upon written request), for or on account of or arising from or in connection with this Agreement, including any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate or other written material delivered pursuant hereto.

 

26


(b) NFC hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) (collectively, “NFC Losses”), as incurred (payable promptly upon written request), for or on account of or arising from or in connection with any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of NFC in this Agreement or in any certificate or other written material delivered pursuant hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 9.01(a) and (b), in no event shall any Indemnified Party be indemnified for Seller Losses or NFC Losses to the extent (i) resulting from the performance of the Dealer Notes, market fluctuations or other similar market or investment risks associated with ownership of the Series 2010-VFN Note, (ii) such amounts which would otherwise be covered in Sections 9.04 and 9.05 hereof, (iii) arising from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (iv) arising from a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a remedy for the breach of which is provided in Section 2.06 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (v) arising from a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in the Purchase Agreement, a remedy for the breach of which is provided in Section 4.06(d) of the Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 9.02. Procedure. In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of, or involving a claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify NFC or the Seller, as applicable (the “Applicable Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim unless the Applicable Indemnifying Party shall have previously obtained actual knowledge thereof. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Applicable Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

SECTION 9.03. Defense of Claims. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, (a) the Applicable Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, (b) if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Applicable Indemnifying Party, provided that, in connection with such assumption, (i) such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Applicable Indemnifying Party first admits in writing its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim in full. Should the Applicable Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Applicable Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Applicable Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will (i) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Applicable Indemnifying Party in connection with such defense and (ii) not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Applicable Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, as the case may be.

If the Applicable Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend the same in such manner as it

 

27


may deem appropriate, including settling such claim or litigation after giving notice to the Applicable Indemnifying Party of such terms and the Applicable Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party upon written request.

SECTION 9.04. Indemnity for Taxes, Reserves and Expenses. (a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, standard or regulation by any Official Body or any amendment or change in the interpretation of any existing or future applicable law, rule, standard or regulation by any Official Body charged with the administration, interpretation or application thereof (including, but not limited to, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board) or the compliance with any directive of any Official Body (whether or not having the force of Governmental Rule):

(i) shall subject any Indemnified Party to any tax, duty, deduction or other charge with respect to the Dealer Notes, the Series 2010-VFN Note, any Series Document or payments of amounts due thereunder, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Indemnified Party of amounts payable in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of general corporate, franchise, net income or other income tax (including by means of withholding) imposed on such Indemnified Party by the United States of America, the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal executive office is located or any other jurisdiction in which the Indemnified Party would be subject to such tax even if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement had not occurred); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, capital, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Indemnified Party or shall impose on any Indemnified Party or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting the Dealer Notes, the Series 2010-VFN Note, any Series Document or payments of amounts due thereunder (including with respect to Eurocurrency liability reserves); or

(iii) imposes upon any Indemnified Party any other cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses of litigation or preparation therefor in contesting any of the foregoing if such a contest is requested by the Applicable Indemnifying Party) with respect to the Dealer Notes, the Series 2010-VFN Note, any Series Document or payments of amounts due hereunder or thereunder;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost or reduce the payments to such Indemnified Party with respect to the Dealer Notes, the Series 2010-VFN Note, any Series Document or payments of amounts due thereunder or the obligations thereunder or the funding of any purchases (including Incremental Fundings) with respect thereto by any Purchaser, by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then such amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such increased cost or reduced payments shall be payable to such Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 9.05(c).

(b) If any Indemnified Party shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, standard or regulation by any Official Body regarding or

 

28


related to capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation thereof by any Official Body, or any directive regarding or related to capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of a Governmental Rule) of any such Official Body, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or with respect hereto to a level below that which such Indemnified Party (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party (or its parent) for such reduction shall be payable to such Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 9.05(c). For avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive subject to this Section 9.04(b).

(c) Any Indemnified Party who makes a demand for payment of increased costs or capital pursuant to Section 9.04(a) or (b) shall promptly deliver to the Seller a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of such increased costs or capital and specifying the basis therefor. In the absence of manifest error, such certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes. Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect upon of any such increased costs or capital requirements; provided, it shall not be obligated to take any action that it determines would be disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its policies.

SECTION 9.05. Costs, Expenses, Taxes, Breakage Payments and Increased Costs under this Agreement and Program Facility. (a) Each of the Seller and NFC agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and each Managing Agent (i) all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and any requested amendments, waivers or consents or examination or visit by the Purchasers, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.02 or 7.07 hereof including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent, with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent as to its respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and (ii) all costs and expenses, if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder or in connection herewith.

(b) Each of NFC and the Seller agrees to pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, the Series 2010-VFN Note or the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to hold each Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

(c) The Seller shall be obligated to pay the amount of any Breakage Payments, other Additional Amounts and Non-Use Fee payable on each Payment Date to the extent not paid when required pursuant to Article III of the Indenture Supplement; provided, that the Seller shall be required to make such payments solely to the extent of any cash flows payable to the Seller on such date from the Master Trust. If and to the extent that any Additional Amounts (other than

 

29


Breakage Payments) or Non-Use Fee shall remain outstanding after payment by the Seller pursuant to the preceding sentence on any Payment Date, NFC shall be required to make such payments within 10 days after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent or the applicable payee.

(d) If a Conduit Purchaser becomes obligated to compensate any financial institution under its commercial paper program as a result of any events or circumstances similar to those described in Sections 9.04 or 9.05(c), such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Seller a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of such amounts. In the absence of manifest error, such certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes. The Seller shall be obligated to pay to such Conduit Purchaser, promptly after receipt of such certificate, such additional amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Conduit Purchaser for any amounts so paid by such Conduit Purchaser. With respect to amounts to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.05(d) as a result of any events or circumstances similar to those described in Section 9.04 or 9.05(c) hereof, the applicable Conduit Purchaser shall request the party to be compensated to use its reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect upon the Seller of any such increased costs or capital requirements; provided, such party shall not be obligated to take any action that it determines would be disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its policies.

If such successor Administrative Agent is not an Affiliate of the resigning Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the Seller’s prior written approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, NFC, the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers party this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holders of the Series 2010-VFN Note); provided, however, that the Seller shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of each Managing Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Purchaser and Managing Agent agrees that it shall not transfer the Series 2010-VFN Note or, except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section 11.04, any interest therein without the Seller’s consent, unless such transfer (x) is to a Purchaser, (y) is to a RIC or (z) occurs after the commencement of the Early Redemption Period.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Conduit Purchaser or its Managing Agent (on its behalf) may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to the Seller and the Servicer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of a Series 2010-VFN Note and its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a RIC or a Committed Purchaser within its Purchaser Group. Upon and to the extent of such assignment to a RIC or Committed Purchaser, (i) the RIC or Committed Purchaser shall be the owner of the assigned portion of the Series 2010-VFN Note, (ii) in the case of a transfer to a RIC, such Managing Agent (or an Affiliate thereof) will act as Managing Agent for the RIC and the Administrative Agent shall act as Administrative Agent for the RIC, in each case, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted herein to such Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, (iii) the RIC or Committed Purchaser, as applicable, and their Program Support Providers and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the assigning Conduit Purchaser and its Program Support Providers and other related parties, respectively, herein and in the other Series Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against the assigning Conduit Purchaser or related parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against the assigning Conduit Purchaser, and the right to assign to another RIC or Committed Purchaser as provided in this paragraph), (iv) the RIC or Committed Purchaser, as applicable, shall assume all obligations, if any, of the assigning Conduit Purchaser under and in connection with this Agreement, and the assigning Conduit Purchaser shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of the assigning Conduit Purchaser (if any) and the RIC or Committed Purchaser shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of principal or interest shall be made to the assigning Conduit Purchaser and the RIC or Committed Purchaser, as applicable, on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests (or in the case of interest, the accrued amounts thereof), (vi) in the case of an assignment to a RIC, the Funding Rate used to calculate interest with respect to the portions of the Series 2010-VFN Note owned on behalf of the RIC and funded with commercial paper notes issued by the RIC from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Rate” on the basis of the discount or interest rates applicable to commercial paper issued by the RIC (rather than the assigning Conduit Purchaser), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Series Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. At all times prior to a Conduit Purchaser’s Conduit Purchaser Termination Date, nothing herein shall prevent such Conduit Purchaser from making a subsequent Incremental Funding hereunder, in its sole discretion, following any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.04 or from making more than one assignment pursuant to this Section 11.04.

 

33


(b) Without the consent of the Seller, each Committed Purchaser party to this Agreement may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any financial or other institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Seller of such assignment. From and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Committed Purchaser shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent so assigned.

(c) Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Purchaser of participating interests to a Participant, such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and the Seller, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Seller also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article IX hereof; provided, however, that all amounts payable by the Seller to any such Participant shall be limited to the amounts which would have been payable to the Purchaser selling such participating interest had such interest not been sold.

(d) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as all amounts payable with respect to the Series 2010-VFN Note shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 11.05. Provision of Documents and Information. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers and the Agents is permitted to provide to the Liquidity Purchasers, permitted assignees and participants, the placement agents for their respective commercial paper notes, the rating agencies with respect to such commercial paper notes and other liquidity and credit providers under their respective commercial paper programs, opinions, certificates, documents and other information relating to the Seller, NFC, the Master Trust, the Issuer, the Dealer Notes and the Series 2010-VFN Note delivered to the such Purchaser or Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 11.06. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO REVIEW THE JUDGMENTS THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

 

34


SECTION 11.07. No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. (a) The Seller agrees that so long as any CP Notes of a Conduit Purchaser shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any CP Notes of such Conduit Purchaser shall have been outstanding, it shall not file, or join in the filing of, a petition against a Conduit Purchaser, the Master Trust or the Issuer under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or join in the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation or other similar proceeding against a Conduit Purchaser, the Master Trust or the Issuer.

(b) Each Purchaser severally agrees that it shall not at any time file, or join in the filing of, a petition against the Seller, the Master Trust Trustee (solely in its capacity as acting as such for the Master Trust), the Indenture Trustee (solely in its capacity as acting as such for the Issuer), the Issuer or the Master Trust under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or join in the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation or other similar proceeding against the Seller, the Master Trust Trustee (solely in its capacity as acting as such for the Master Trust), the Indenture Trustee (solely in its capacity as acting as such for the Issuer), the Issuer or the Master Trust.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Purchaser shall, or shall be obligated to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay such Conduit Purchaser’s CP Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue CP Notes to refinance all of its outstanding CP Notes (assuming such outstanding CP Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all CP Notes of such Conduit Purchaser are paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above.

SECTION 11.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 11.09. No Recourse. The obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement, or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered by or issued by such Purchaser or any officer thereof are solely the corporate obligations of such Purchaser. No recourse shall be had for payment of any fee or other obligation or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered or issued by such Purchaser or any officer thereof in connection therewith, against any stockholder, partner, member, manager employee, officer, director or incorporator of such Purchaser.

 

35


SECTION 11.10. Corporate Obligations. The obligations of each of the Seller and NFC under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of such Person.

SECTION 11.11. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, guaranties and indemnifications contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article IX and Sections 11.07, 11.09 and 11.10, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the sale, transfer or repayment of the Series 2010-VFN Note.

SECTION 11.12. Tax Characterization. Each party to this Agreement (a) acknowledges and agrees that it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Series 2010-VFN Note will be treated as evidence of indebtedness secured by the Collateral Certificate and proceeds thereof and neither the Master Trust nor the Issuer will be characterized as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, (b) agrees to treat the Series 2010-VFN Note for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness and (c) agrees that the provisions of this Agreement and all other related Series Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties.

SECTION 11.13. Rating Agency Notices. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby agrees to provide written notice to each of the rating agencies then rating any outstanding series issued by the Issuer at least 5 days prior to the proposed effectiveness of (i) any extension of the Purchase Expiration Date and (ii) any proposed action specified in Section 2.04, Section 7.05, Section 10.06 or Section 11.01 of this Agreement.

(xii) the [Purchaser] [Agent] acknowledges that the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer, NFC, the Seller and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements and agrees that, if any of the acknowledgments, representations or warranties deemed to have been made by it by virtue of its purchase of a Series 2010-VFN Note (or a beneficial interest therein) is no longer accurate, then it shall promptly so notify NFC and the Seller in writing;

 

Exhibit B-4


(xiii) this Investment Letter has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the [Purchaser] [Agent], enforceable against the [Purchaser] [Agent] in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by receivership, conservatorship, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity; and
