Each such sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance shall be executed without recourse (other than as expressly provided herein). Finco will provide the Servicer with all the necessary information to produce the Receivables Schedule and the Daily Receivables File. In connection with the conveyances of the Purchased Assets, in particular, Finco’s right, title and interest to the Credit Agreements, hereunder from time to time, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that bare legal title to the Credit Agreements shall not be transferred or otherwise conveyed by Finco to the Purchaser. Finco shall retain for servicing convenience bare legal title to the Credit Agreements to be held by Finco for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners).

 

2


(i) By execution and delivery of this Agreement and delivery of each Receivables Schedule pursuant to Section 2.01(g) to the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent, Finco hereby grants, assigns and sells and contributes to the Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables identified thereon and all Related Rights with respect thereto.

(ii) By execution and delivery of this Agreement and delivery of each Daily Receivables File pursuant to Section 2.01(g) to the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent, Finco hereby grants, assigns and sells and contributes to the Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Additional Receivables identified thereon and all Related Rights with respect thereto. This Agreement and the transmittal of the electronic listing of the Receivables in the manner described herein shall constitute Finco’s authentication of a record describing the Receivables and the Related Rights so conveyed for purposes of applicable law, including Article 9 of the Relevant UCC in the applicable jurisdictions and law and regulations relating to electronic signatures.

(b) The sales, transfers, assignments, set-overs and conveyances described above shall be made in consideration of the Purchaser’s payment, in respect of each such Purchased Assets, of a purchase price (the “RSA Purchase Price”) therefor in an amount equal to the Principal Balance of each Receivable as of the Purchase Date or any other amount that is mutually agreed upon by Finco and the Purchaser as of the Purchase Date; provided that such RSA Purchase Price shall be at least equal to the fair market value thereof.

(c) The RSA Purchase Price for Purchased Assets purchased by the Purchaser from Finco shall be paid by the Purchaser on each Purchase Date as follows:

(i) to the extent available for such purpose, in cash held by the Purchaser;

(ii) the Deferred Payment Amount; and

(iii) to the extent that available cash and the unpaid Deferred Payment Amount with respect to the Purchased Assets on such date of purchase is less than the RSA Purchase Price, by a capital contribution by Finco to the Purchaser in respect of Finco’s membership interest in the Purchaser, deemed a concurrent assignment of Receivables and conveyance thereof, in an amount equal to the amounts that remain payable for purchases by the Purchaser following the application of clauses (i) and (ii) above.

(d) The foregoing assignments, transfers, set-overs, and conveyances do not constitute and are not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of Finco in connection with the Purchased Assets being so assigned or conveyed, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, (i) any obligation to any Obligor and (ii) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority.

 

3


(e) The parties hereto intend and agree that any conveyance hereunder of Finco’s right, title, and interest in and to the Purchased Assets is, and is intended to be, an absolute conveyance and transfer of ownership of the Purchased Assets, conveying good title and ownership, not a transfer to secure a loan or other payment obligation or any transfer subject to any right of redemption, and that such Purchased Assets shall not be part of Finco’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition or other action by or against any such Person under any Insolvency Law. In the event that, notwithstanding such intent and agreement, any conveyance hereunder shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a conveyance of ownership, Finco hereby grants and assigns to the Purchaser a perfected first priority security interest in (i) such Purchased Assets and (ii) all income from and proceeds of the foregoing, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, securing the obligations of Finco to the Purchaser hereunder, including the obligation to transfer absolute ownership of such Purchased Assets. If such conveyance is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest to secure an obligation, the Purchaser may, to secure the Purchaser’s obligations under the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement (to the extent that the transfer of Transferred Assets thereunder is deemed to be a mere granting of security interest to secure an obligation), repledge and reassign (i) all or a portion of the Purchased Assets thereunder pledged to the Purchaser and not released or reconveyed from the security interest of this Agreement at the time of such pledge and assignment and (ii) all income from and proceeds of the foregoing. Such repledge and reassignment may be made by the Purchaser with or without a repledge and reassignment by Finco under this Agreement, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from Finco or any other Person.

(f) To the extent that Finco retains any interest in the Purchased Assets, Finco hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) a security interest in all of Finco’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets, to secure the performance of all of the obligations of Finco hereunder and under the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement. With respect to such security interest and such collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights that it has under the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall also have all of the rights of a secured creditor under the Relevant UCC.

(g) Finco shall:

(i) on or prior to (x) the Original Closing Date, in the case of Initial Receivables, and (y) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Receivables, indicate in its books and records and on the appropriate computer files that such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement;

(ii) on or prior to the Original Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and on each Determination Date thereafter, cause the Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser the updated Receivables Schedule; and

(iii) on each Purchase Date following the Original Closing Date, cause the Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser the Daily Receivables File.

 

4


Each Receivables Schedule and Daily Receivables File delivered to the Purchaser by Finco or by the Servicer on its behalf shall be deemed to be “signed” for purposes of the Relevant UCC and an authenticated security agreement for purposes of Sections 9-102 and 9-103 of the Relevant UCC.

Finco represents, warrants and agrees that transmission of each Daily Receivables File and each Receivables Schedule consisting of, including or accompanied by an electronic file (which may be a PDF or the insertion of the relevant language and names in a Word, Excel or other electronic document) and transmitted either (a) from a Designated Email Address or (b) by a Designated Servicing Officer through a virtual data room (including but not limited to Intralinks) acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall be evidence of its present intent to adopt or accept such record as the authentication of a security agreement for purposes of Sections 9-102 and 9-203 of any Relevant UCC.

Section 2.02 Assignment of Agreement. The Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) as required to effect the purposes of the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement, without further notice to, or consent of, Finco, and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Owners) shall succeed to such of the rights of the Purchaser hereunder as shall be so assigned. Finco acknowledges that, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement, the Purchaser will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to all Purchased Assets and its rights hereunder against Finco, to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners). Finco agrees that, upon such assignment to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners), such interests and rights will run to and be for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) and that the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Owners) may enforce directly, without joinder of Finco, its rights or interests hereunder in respect of the Purchased Assets so conveyed.

Section 2.03 Conditions Relating to Sales of Receivables. (a) Finco shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise convey Receivables to the Purchaser unless on the applicable Purchase Date the following conditions are satisfied with respect to the Receivables to be sold, transferred, assigned and otherwise conveyed on such date:

(i) on the applicable Purchase Date, all representations and warranties of Finco contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (other than representations and warranties which specifically relate to an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(ii) Finco shall have filed on or prior to the applicable Purchase Date, as required by Section 4.01, the financing statement(s), naming Finco, as seller, and the Purchaser, as purchaser, with respect to the Purchased Assets, in such a manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the transfer of Finco’s interest in the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser;

(iii) Finco shall have delivered to the Purchaser an executed Daily Receivables File relating to the applicable Purchased Assets; and

 

5


(iv) all Collections required to have been deposited in the Collection Account prior to such Purchase Date shall have been so deposited.

If an Insolvency Event relating to Finco shall have occurred, Finco shall on the date of such Insolvency Event immediately cease to sell Receivables to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any cessation of the sale to the Purchaser of additional Receivables, Receivables sold to the Purchaser prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Event, and Collections in respect of such Receivables, shall continue to be a part of the Purchased Assets and shall be allocated and distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event, Finco shall promptly give notice of such Insolvency Event to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.04 Deferred Payment Amount. The Purchaser covenants and agrees to immediately after receipt thereof remit and transfer to Finco any amounts received by the Purchaser (as transferor under the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(ii) of the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement (collectively, the “Deferred Payment Amount”). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Deferred Payment Amount: (a) will reflect an allocation of 5% of the aggregate amount of the Principal Balances of the Receivables which became Written-Off Receivables and an allocation of 5% of the aggregate amount of Recoveries, and (b) will vary inversely to the amount of such Written-Off Receivables net of such Recoveries.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Finco, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by Finco in respect of conveyances hereunder, and on each Purchase Date, makes the following representations and warranties, on which the Purchaser will rely in purchasing and accepting conveyance of the Purchased Assets on the relevant Purchase Date. Such representations and warranties (unless expressly stated otherwise) speak as of the relevant Purchase Date, but shall survive the conveyance of the Purchased Assets by the Purchaser pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement.

Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties. Finco hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the Original Closing Date, Amendment Closing Date and each Purchase Date that:

(a) Organization and Good Standing. Finco is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, and has the limited liability power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. Finco is duly qualified to do business as a foreign company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify could

 

6


reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of Finco or the Purchaser or Finco’s ability to perform its duties hereunder. Finco is properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws of such jurisdiction in order to originate, acquire or own, and (if Finco is to be the Servicer or a permitted subservicer of the Servicer) service the Receivables in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement;

(b) Authorization; Binding Obligation. Finco has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which Finco is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which Finco is a party, and has taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which Finco is a party. This Agreement and the other Related Documents to which Finco is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Finco and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Finco, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, any applicable law imposing limitations upon, or otherwise affecting, the availability or enforcement of rights to indemnification hereunder, and by the availability of equitable remedies;

(c) No Consent Required. Finco is not required to obtain the consent of any other Person or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which Finco is a party;

(d) No Violations. Finco’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court or the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of Finco, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which Finco is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound;

(e) Separateness from the Purchaser. Finco is, and all times since its organization has been, operated in such a manner that it would not be substantively consolidated with the Purchaser and such that the separate existence of the Purchaser would not be disregarded in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Finco;

(f) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by Finco of this Agreement and the performance by Finco of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment by Finco of the terms hereof applicable to Finco, will not conflict with or violate any organizational documents or by-laws applicable to Finco or conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any material indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which Finco is a party or by which it or its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, regulations, orders, decrees, mortgages, indentures, contracts and other agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements

 

7


or the Receivables and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on Finco or the transactions contemplated by, or its ability to perform its obligations under, this Agreement);

(g) No Proceedings. There are no Proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of Finco, threatened, against Finco before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of Finco, would materially and adversely affect the performance by Finco of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement which, in each case, if adversely determined would be reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by, or Finco’s ability to perform its respective obligations under, this Agreement; and

(h) Insolvency. Finco, on the date of and after giving effect to conveyances made hereunder, is solvent, no Insolvency Event with respect to Finco has occurred and the transfer of the Receivables and Related Rights by Finco to the Purchaser has not been made in contemplation of the occurrence thereof.

Section 3.02 Receivables Representations and Warranties. Finco hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 of the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement are true and correct as of the Original Closing Date (in connection with the Initial Receivables) and each relevant Purchase Date (in connection with Additional Receivables) with respect to the Receivables being conveyed to the Purchaser on each such date. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 of the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement shall survive the transfers and assignments of the Receivables by Finco to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, and the sales, transfers, assignments and conveyances of the Receivables by the Purchaser to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement. Upon discovery by any Authorized Officer of Finco of a breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.2 of the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement, Finco shall give notice to the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days following such discovery, provided that failure to give notice within five (5) Business Days does not preclude subsequent notice.

Section 3.03 Survival of Representations; Reliance. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 shall survive the sale of the Receivables to the Purchaser. Finco hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser intends to rely on the representations hereunder in connection with representations made by the Purchaser to secured parties, assignees or subsequent transferees including but not limited to transfers made by the Purchaser to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement, and Finco hereby consents to such reliance.

ARTICLE IV

PERFECTION OF TRANSFER AND PROTECTION

OF SECURITY INTERESTS

Section 4.01 Filing. On or prior to the Original Closing Date, Finco shall cause to be filed the financing statement(s) naming Finco, as seller, and the Purchaser, as purchaser, of the Purchased Assets, required or contemplated hereunder in such a manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the transfer of Finco’s interest in the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser. Finco shall deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements (and any related amendments) or other evidence of such filings to the Purchaser promptly after receipt thereof by Finco. In addition, from time to time Finco shall take or cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents as are necessary or desirable or as the Purchaser may reasonably request to perfect, maintain and protect the Purchaser’s interest in the Purchased Assets against all other Persons, including, without limitation, the timely filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making of notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of title.

Section 4.02 Name Change or Reorganization.

(a) Until the date on which the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement is no longer in effect, Finco shall not change its name, type of organization or organizational jurisdiction for which financing statements have been filed in accordance with the Related Documents, without first (i) giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent and (ii) delivering to the Purchaser an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all actions have been taken, and all filings have been made, as are necessary to continue and maintain the first priority perfected ownership interest of the Purchaser in the Purchased Assets.

(b) If any change in Finco’s name, type of organization or organizational jurisdiction or other action would make any financing or continuation statement or notice of ownership interest or lien filed in connection with any Related Document seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the Relevant UCC or any title statute, or would otherwise impair the perfection of any lien contemplated hereunder or under any other Related Document, Finco, no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of such change, shall file such amendments as may be required to preserve and protect the Purchaser’s interests herein and in the Purchased Assets and the Collections associated therewith. In addition, Finco shall not change its organizational jurisdiction for which financing statements have been filed in accordance with the Related Documents, unless it has first taken such action as is necessary to preserve and protect the Purchaser’s interest in the Purchased Assets.

Section 4.03 Sale Treatment. Finco and the Purchaser shall treat each conveyance of Purchased Assets made hereunder for all purposes (including financial accounting purposes) as a sale and purchase, and in all events as a conveyance of ownership, on all of its relevant books, records, financial statements and other applicable documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, Finco and the Purchaser hereby agree that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, the conveyance of the Purchased Assets made hereunder shall be treated as a loan by the Purchaser to Finco of the proceeds of such conveyance for U.S. federal income tax purposes and state or local income tax and transactional tax purposes.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES UPON MISREPRESENTATION

Section 5.01 Breach of Representations and Warranties. In the event that the Purchaser, pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement, repurchases Ineligible Receivables and other Purchased Assets from the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Owners), such Ineligible Receivables and other Purchased Assets shall immediately thereafter be repurchased by Finco from the Purchaser, automatically, and without further action by the Purchaser or Finco, on the same date, for the same amount and on the same terms of the corresponding repurchases by the Purchaser to take place under Section 2.12 of the Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement. All of the retransfers of Receivables contemplated by this Section 5.01 shall occur without recourse to, and without warranty of any kind deemed to have been made by, the Purchaser, and all representations and warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed.

(d) All of the retransfers of Receivables contemplated by this Section 5.05 shall occur without recourse to, and without warranty of any kind deemed to have been made by, the Purchaser, and all representations and warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed.
