(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank shall not be obligated to make purchases under this Section 1.02 at any time in an amount that would exceed the Bank Commitment with respect to such Bank less, in the event such Bank has any related Purchasers, such Bank’s ratable share of the outstanding and unpaid Capital of such related Purchasers.  Each Bank’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Bank to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, and if any Bank shall fail to make funds available, each remaining Bank shall (subject to the limitation in the preceding sentence) make available its pro rata portion of the funds required to be funded for such purchase pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 1.02.

 

(e)                                  Special Provisions for Delayed Funding Dates.

 

(i)                                     If, at any time that the Seller delivers a Purchase Request pursuant to Section 1.02(a), any Bank has, pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 1.02(e), previously notified the Seller and Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Delaying Bank, the Purchaser Agent for such Delaying Bank may, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the proposed date that the purchase set forth in such Purchase Request is to be made (the “Original Date”), deliver a written notice (a “Delayed Funding Notice”) to the Seller and the Administrative Agent that its related Purchaser will not be making such purchase and of the intention of such Delaying Bank to fund its ratable share (based on such Bank’s Percentage) of the initial Capital of such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables on a Business Day that is on or before the thirty-third (33rd) day (or if such thirty-third (33rd) day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day thereafter) following such Original Date (such date, the “Delayed Funding Date”), rather than on the Original Date with respect thereto.  Any Bank for which a Delayed Funding Notice is delivered with respect to any Original Date shall be referred to herein as a “Delaying Bank” with respect to the purchase being made on such Original Date and funds required to be delivered on the respective Delayed Funding Date pursuant to such Delayed Funding Notice shall be referred to as “Delayed Funds”.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Delayed Funding Notice shall not relieve any other Bank that is not a Delaying Bank (each, a “Non-Delaying Bank”) of any of its obligations hereunder, including the obligation of such Non-Delaying Bank to make the purchase to be made on such Original Date and other purchases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(ii)                                  No Bank may deliver a Delayed Funding Notice until after its delivery to the Seller and the Administrative Agent of a certificate (a “Delaying Certificate”) signed by an authorized  officer of such Bank certifying that (A) charges relating to the “liquidity coverage ratio” under Basel III have been incurred (or are expected to be to incurred) on such Bank’s interests and obligations hereunder and (B) such Bank is seeking or has obtained delayed funding in transactions similar to the transaction contemplated hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that the “charges” provided for in such certification may be external charges incurred by such Bank or internal charges incurred by any business of such Bank managing such Bank’s interests or obligations hereunder.  Each Delayed Funding Notice delivered by a Bank shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such Bank to

pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) all security interests and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of monies due or to become due under or pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iii) all rights of the Seller to receive proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to the Purchase Agreement, (iv) claims of the Seller for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under the Purchase Agreement, and (v) the right of the Seller to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder;

 

(b)                                 all Receivables, the Related Security with respect thereto and the Collections and all other assets, including, without limitation, accounts, chattel paper, instruments and general intangibles (as those terms are defined in the UCC), owned by the Seller and not otherwise purchased or scheduled to be purchased under this Agreement;

 

(c)                                  each Collection Account, the Controlled Account and all amounts on deposit therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing any of the foregoing; and

SECTION 1.12.           Repurchase Option.

16



 

the date that the Seller desires that such repurchase occur (such date, the “Repurchase Date”).”) and, if specified in such notice, such repurchase may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of one or more other transactions specified in such notice (in which case, such notice may be revoked by the Seller if any of those transactions is not to become effective by providing written notice to the Purchaser Agents to such effect not less than three Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date).  On the Repurchase Date, the Seller shall transfer to each Purchaser Agent’s Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to (i) the Capital of the Receivable Interests held by the Investors and the Banks, (ii) all accrued and unpaid Yield thereon to the Repurchase Date, (iii) all accrued and unpaid fees owing to the Investors and the Banks under the Fee Agreements, (iv) the Liquidation Fee owing to the Investors and the Banks in respect of such repurchase and (v) all expenses and other amounts payable hereunder to any of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Investors and the Banks (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements for a single firm of primary counsel).  Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 1.12 shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Investors or the Banks (except for a warranty that all Receivable Interests repurchased are transferred free of any lien, security interest or Adverse Claim created solely by the actions of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Investors or the Banks).  Further, on the Repurchase Date the Bank Commitments for all the Banks shall terminate, each of the Commitment Termination Date and Facility Termination Date shall have occurred, and no further purchases or reinvestments of Collections shall be made hereunder.

(b)                                 The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, which consent may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion, add additional persons as Banks, Purchasers and Purchaser Agents or cause an existing Bank to increase its Bank Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, that the Bank Commitment of any Bank may only be increased with the prior

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the transfers of the Receivables and related rights by the Originator to the Buyer, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, true sales of the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security for all purposes, providing the Buyer with full risks and benefits of ownership and not as loans secured by the Receivables and related rights. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties or any other provision hereof, any Receivable and the Related Security purported to be conveyed hereunder is construed to constitute property of the Originator or such conveyance is not treated as a sale to Buyer for all purposes, then (i) this Agreement also is intended by the parties to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and (ii) the conveyance by the Originator provided for in this Agreement shall be treated as the grant of, and the Originator hereby grants to Buyer, a first priority security interest in, to and under all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Transferred Receivables, all Related Security and all Collections and proceeds relating thereto conveyed by the Originator to Buyer, to secure the payment and performance of the Originator’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement or as may be determined in connection therewith by applicable law. The Originator and Buyer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in, and not to constitute a sale of, Receivables and the Related Security, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of Buyer under applicable law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
