(b) Sale of Pool Receivables. On the date of each Purchase and Reinvestment of Pool Receivables relating to a Receivable Pool hereunder, each Seller sells, assigns and transfers to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) (ratably, according to each Purchasers Investment), in consideration of the aggregate Initial Cash Purchase Price and the RPA Deferred Purchase Price in respect of such Receivable Pool, as applicable, effective on and as of the date of each Purchase and Reinvestment, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under (i) all Pool Receivables relating to each Receivable Pool, (ii) all Related Assets with respect to each Pool Receivable, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Box Accounts and all Collections relating to such Receivable Pool on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) subject to the proviso below, all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Sellers under the Sale Agreement relating to each Receivable Pool, and (vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of the foregoing (with respect to each Receivable Pool, an Asset Portfolio); provided that the Asset Portfolio shall not include the Lease Contracts or the Lease Devices. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not (x) derogate from any right the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents may have (under Applicable Law or otherwise) to seek or obtain an involuntary Lien (including, without limitation, a judgment lien) on any Lease Device now owned or hereafter acquired by any Seller or (y) invalidate or limit the security interest in the Lease Contracts granted by the Sellers to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.1.
(c) Characterization as a Purchase and Sale; Recharacterization. (i) It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the transfer and conveyance of each Sellers right, title and interest in, to and under each Asset Portfolio to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge for security, and such purchase and sale of the Asset Portfolios to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes (except for financial accounting purposes and except as may be permitted for tax purposes as provided in Section 1.2(d)(ii)). The provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the transfer and conveyance of any Asset Portfolio to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) is characterized by any bankruptcy trustee or any other Person as a pledge and not a sale, the parties intend that each Seller shall be deemed hereunder to have granted, and each Seller does hereby grant, to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a security interest in and general lien on all of such Sellers right, title and interest now or hereafter existing in, to and under all of such Sellers assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located (whether or not in the possession or control of such Seller), including all of such Sellers right, title and interest in, to and under such Asset Portfolio; provided that no Seller hereby pledges or otherwise grants a security interest in the Lease Contracts or the Lease Devices. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the foregoing is in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, Section 9.1 or the Sellers grants of security interests thereunder, and (y) the foregoing shall not derogate from any right the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents may have (under Applicable Law or otherwise) to seek or obtain a Lien on any
-5-
Lease Contract or Lease Device now owned or hereafter acquired by any Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be construed to require any party hereto to characterize the transfer and conveyance of Leaseany Receivables hereunder as a sale for financial accounting purposes.
(ii) Tax Treatment.
(A) It is the intention of the Sellers (or, if applicable, the Originators), the Servicer, the Administrative Agents and the Purchasers that, for purposes of U.S. federal income tax and state and local taxes measured by net income, each Purchase and Reinvestment will be treated as a loan from the applicable Purchaser to the applicable Originator or Seller, as the case may be under applicable tax laws (it being understood that all payments to the Purchasers, in their capacity as such, representing Yield, fees and other amounts accrued under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to constitute interest payments or other payments in connection with such loan), and none of the Sellers (or, if applicable, the Originators), the Servicer, any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor the Purchasers shall take any position inconsistent therewith for such tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable laws as confirmed in the opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel and the person taking any such inconsistent position provides written advance notice to the other Affected Parties of such change in position, it being understood that the parties to this Agreement will otherwise defend in good faith such agreed-upon position prior to such change in position.
(B) The Servicer and each Seller, by entering into this Agreement, and the Purchasers, by funding the Purchase of the Asset Portfolios and any Reinvestment, agree to treat the Purchase of the Asset Portfolios and any Reinvestment, for purposes of U.S. federal income tax and state and local taxes measured by net income, and for state and local sales and other transactional tax purposes, as creating indebtedness secured by the Asset Portfolios. Accordingly, the Sellers (or, if applicable, the Originators), rather than the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Purchasers or any other Affected Party, shall be entitled to and shall retain the benefit of (1) any bad debt deduction for written-off receivables for purposes of U.S. federal income tax and state and local taxes measured by net income and (2) any deduction, credit or refund with respect to state and local sales and other transactional taxes paid or collected and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority on written-off receivables. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties.
(d) Purchasers Limitation on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, none of the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agents shall be obligated (whether on behalf of a Purchaser or otherwise) to, pay any amount to any Seller as a Reinvestment under Section 1.3 or in respect of any portion of the RPA Deferred Purchase Price relating to any Receivable Pool, except to the extent that
-6-
in respect of such Receivable Pool, (III) the Purchasers Pool Investment in respect of such Receivable Pool would exceed the Purchasers Pool Commitment in respect of such Receivable Pool or (IV) the aggregate Investment of any Exiting Purchaser is greater than zero (in each case, at such time and after giving effect to such Reinvestment), then the Servicer shall only make Reinvestments or apply such remaining amounts as RPA Deferred Purchase Price, as applicable, after first setting aside and holding in trust for the benefit of the applicable Administrative Agent on behalf of each Purchaser Group, in addition to the Pool Hold-Back Amount, a portion of such available Collections relating to such Receivable Pool not previously set aside for such purpose and then so held in respect of such Receivable Pool equal to the sum of the following amounts (the Pool Deficiency Amount) (i) the amount, if any, which is necessary to reduce the sum of the Purchasers Pool Investment in such Receivable Pool and the Required Reserves in respect of such Receivable Pool at such time to an amount equal to the Net Portfolio Balance for such Receivable Pool at such time, plus (ii) the amount, if any, which is necessary to reduce the aggregate Investment in respect of such Receivable Pool of all Exiting Purchasers in such Receivable Pool to zero, plus (iii) the amount necessary to reduce the Purchasers Pool Investment in respect of such Receivable Pool to an amount equal to the Purchasers Pool Commitment in respect of such Receivable Pool, plus (iv) the amount, if any, necessary to reduce each Purchaser Group Investment in respect of such Receivable Pool to an amount equal to or less than the related Purchaser Group Commitment in respect of such Receivable Pool, plus (v) the amount, if any, equal to the difference between the Available Pool Deficiency Amount in respect of the other Receivable Pool which has been set aside for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) in respect of such other Receivable Pool and the Pool Deficiency Amount for such other Receivable Pool, in each case, at such time (any remaining Collections relating to such Receivable Pool after giving effect to this proviso shall then be applied as described above in this Section 1.3(a)(ii)); and (B) if the conditions precedent to Reinvestment in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 5.2 are not satisfied or no Reinvestments are to be made in accordance with Section 3.2(de), then the Servicer shall not apply any of such remaining Collections to a Reinvestment or as RPA Deferred Purchase Price pursuant to this clause (ii) (it being understood and agreed that, in any event, no portion of the RPA Deferred Purchase Price in respect of any Receivable Pool may be paid to any Seller on any applicable date if, on or prior to such date, an Event of Termination, Collection Control Event or Non-Reinvestment Event has occurred and is continuing or the Liquidation Period has commenced, in each case, until Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash).
(b) Unreinvested Collections. Subject to Sections 1.3(a)(ii) and 3.1(c)(iv), the Servicer shall in respect of each Receivable Pool set aside and hold in trust for the applicable Administrative Agent on behalf of each Purchaser Group, all Collections in respect of the Pool Deficiency Amount relating to such Receivable Pool which, pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1.3(a), may not be reinvested in the Pool Receivables and Related Assets or applied as RPA Deferred Purchase Price in respect of such Receivable Pool; provided, that the Servicer may in respect of any Receivable Pool commingle such
-11-
Collections with its own funds, so long as the Servicer is able, on each Business Day and on an equitable and consistent basis, to identify which funds are Collections relating to each such Receivable Pool; it being understood that the Collateral Agent and the applicable Administrative Agent, on behalf of Purchaser Groups, shall have a claim against the Servicer to make payments pursuant to Sections 1.3(c), 3.1(b) or 3.1(d) (which claims shall be full recourse to the Servicer) in an amount equal to the amount of such Collections that have not been set aside or that have been so commingled; provided further, that the Servicer shall hold Collections that have been so set aside in a separate deposit account containing only such Collections if the Collateral Agent or any Administrative Agent has requested that the Servicer not commingle funds during the continuance of any Specified Unmatured Event, Event of Termination, Collection Control Event or Non-Reinvestment Event.
