Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account for each Purchaser maintained by the applicable Purchaser Agent (or such other account as may be designated from time to time by such Purchaser Agent to the Seller and the Servicer). All amounts received after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.
(b) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.
(c) All computations of interest under paragraph (b) and all computations of Discount, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.
(d) If at any time the designated rate of interest (including the Discount for such purpose) applicable to any Purchasers Capital exceeds such Purchasers highest lawful rate, the rate of interest (including the Discount for such purpose) on such Purchasers Capital shall be limited to such Purchasers highest lawful rate.
Section 1.7 Increased Costs.
(a) If, after the Initial Closing Date, the Administrator, any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent, Liquidity Provider or Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an Affected Person) determines that any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make Purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or to issue or maintain any such Letter of Credit or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator), the Seller shall promptly pay such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs (including any Taxes or Other Taxes that are Indemnified Taxes other than Indemnified Taxes governed by Section 1.10) and maintenance of bargained for yield in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by an authorized officer of such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
-11-
(b) If due to any Change in Law, there shall be any increase after the Initial Closing Date in the cost (including any Taxes or Other Taxes that are Indemnified Taxes other than Indemnified Taxes governed by Section 1.10) to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof and including, without limitation, funding or maintaining its Capital or issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit), then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs and maintenance of bargained for yield. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by an authorized officer of such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
Section 1.8 Requirements of Law.
(a) If, after the Initial Closing Date, any Affected Person determines that (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule or regulation after the date hereof, or (ii) compliance with any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Initial Closing Date:
(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any increase in the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) or in the amount of Capital relating thereto, or
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, Purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the BSBYTerm SOFR Rate or the Daily BSBY Floating Rate1M SOFR hereunder,
and the result of any of the foregoing is: (1) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest (or interests therein), any Portion of Capital or any Letter of Credit, or (2) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred.
(b) If an Affected Person requests compensation under this Section 1.8, a certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for such Affected Persons demand for such amounts shall be submitted to the Seller and the applicable Purchaser Agent by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
-12-
Section 1.9 Funding Losses.
(a) The Seller shall compensate each Affected Person, upon written request by such Person for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed by it to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital hereunder at an interest rate determined by reference to the BSBY Rate or the Daily BSBY Floating Rate and any loss sustained by such Person in connection with the re employment of such funds), which such Affected Person may sustain with respect to funding or maintaining such Portion of Capital at the BSBY Rate or the Daily BSBY Floating Rate if, for any reason, after the applicable request by the Seller to fund or maintain such Portion of Capital at an interest rate determined by reference to the BSBY Rate or the Daily BSBY Floating Rate, such funding or maintenance does not occur on a date specified therefor.
(b) If an Affected Person requests compensation under this Section 1.9, a certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for such Affected Persons demand for such amounts shall be submitted to the Seller and the applicable Purchaser Agent by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
Section 1.9 Indemnity for Funding Losses. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 1.7 or Section 1.10, the Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain any Capital, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Purchaser sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:
(a) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Capital to which the Term SOFR Rate applies on a day other than a Settlement Date (whether or not any such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary, or automatic and whether or not any such payment or prepayment is then due);
(b) attempt by the Seller to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Purchase Notice or notice relating to prepayments under Section 1.1(b) or failure by the Seller (for a reason other than the failure of such Purchaser to fund a Purchase) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Capital on the date or in the amount notified by the Seller.
If any Purchaser sustains or incurs any such loss or expense and requests compensation under this Section 1.9, it shall provide the Seller with a certificate stating the amount determined in good faith by such Purchaser (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Purchaser shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Purchaser for such loss or expense. Such certificate shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Seller to such Purchaser on (x) the later of (i) the first Settlement Date occurring after such notice is given or (ii) ten (10) days after receipt thereof, or, (y) if such amount is payable due to clause (a) above, then on the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion, renewal or assignment so long as such certificate has been given at least ten (10) days prior to such date.
-13-
Section 1.10 Taxes.
(a) The Seller agrees that:
(i) Any and all payments by the Seller under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however that such payments shall exclude overall income, franchise or branch profits taxes, in any case, imposed on the Person receiving such payment by the Seller hereunder by the jurisdiction under whose laws such Person is organized, the jurisdiction of such Persons principal place of business or the jurisdiction in which such Person holds its undivided percentage ownership interest in the Purchased Interest, or any political subdivision thereof and any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such Taxes other than those referred to in the proviso above shall hereinafter be referred to as Indemnified Taxes). If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Purchaser, any Liquidity Provider, Program Support Provider or the Administrator, then the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all Taxes or Other Taxes and including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.10) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
(ii) Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Seller pursuant to this Section 1.10, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for the account of any Purchaser or any Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment as may be available to the Seller and acceptable to the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over such Person. If the Seller fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence pursuant to this Section 1.10, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrator and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any incremental Indemnified Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure.
(b) The Seller shall indemnify each Affected Person within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Affected Person on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Seller hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.10) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 1.7, 1.8, 3.1 or 6.4(a), Indemnified Taxes shall be governed exclusively by this Section 1.10.
-14-
(c) If an Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Seller pursuant to this Section 1.10, it shall pay over such refund or credit to the Seller (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Seller under this Section 1.10 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any applicable Taxes payable in respect of such interest); provided, that the Seller, upon the request of such Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Seller (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Affected Person in the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will an Affected Person be required to pay any amount to the Seller pursuant to this paragraph (c) the payment of which would place such Affected Person in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Affected Person would have been in if the Tax or Other Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax or Other Tax had never been paid. This Section 1.10 shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Seller or any other Person.
(d) If an Affected Person requests indemnification or repayment under this Section 1.10, a certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for such Affected Persons demand for such amounts shall be submitted to the Seller and the applicable Purchaser Agent by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance doubt, Section 1.2), all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat any Purchase under this Agreement as debt for all federal income tax purposes (the Intended Tax Treatment), and as such it is understood that for such federal income tax purposes Purchased Interests will be treated as evidence of indebtedness, each Purchase will be treated as a loan from the applicable Purchaser to the Seller secured by an undivided ownership interest in the Pool Receivables and Related Security, all Collections and other proceeds thereof, and all rights and remedies of the Seller under the Sale Agreement (it further being understood that all payments representing Discount, fees and other amounts accrued under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to constitute interest payments). All parties to this Agreement agree not to take any position on any tax return inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

(a) Unascertainable; Increased Costs. If, on or prior to the first day of a Yield Period (or solely with respect to Daily BSBY Floating Rate, onat any day)time:
(i) the Administrator shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) the BSBYTerm SOFR Rate or the Daily BSBY Floating Rate1M SOFR, as applicable, cannot be determined because it is not available or published on a current basis; (y) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the BSBY Rate or the Daily BSBY Floating Rate for such Yield Period (or portion thereof); or (z) a fundamental change has occurred with respect to the BSBY Rate or the Daily BSBY Floating Rate (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions); andpursuant to the definition thereof; or
(ii) any affected Purchaser determines that for any reason the BSBY RateDaily 1M SOFR or the Daily BSBY FloatingTerm SOFR Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchaser of funding, establishing or maintaining any Portion ofsuch Purchasers Capital during suchthe applicable Yield Period (or portion thereof),or that Daily 1M SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchaser of funding, establishing or maintaining such Purchasers Capital, and such Purchaser has provided notice of such determination to the Administrator;
then the Administrator shall have the rights specified in Section 3.041.11(c).
(b) Illegality. If at any time any affected Purchaser shall have determined or any Governmental Authority shall have asserted that the making, maintenance or funding of any Portion of Capital (or a Purchase thereof) accruing Discount by reference to Daily 1M SOFR or the BSBYTerm SOFR Rate or the Daily BSBY Floatingdetermination or charging of Discount by reference to Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate, as applicable, has been made impracticable or unlawful, by compliance by such Purchaser in good faith with any Applicableapplicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of Applicableapplicable Law), then the Administrator shall have the rights specified in Section 1.11(c).
(c) Administrators and Purchasers Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 1.11(a) above, the Administrator shall promptly so notify the Purchasers and the Seller thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 1.11(b) above, such Purchaser shall promptly so notify the Administrator and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrator shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Purchasers and the Seller.
