RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 31, 2007, is by and between:

(a) [                    ], a [                    ] (the “Originator”), and

(b) [                    ], a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).

Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

The Originator now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Gift Shop Receipts, Private Receivables and Government Receivables.

The Originator wishes to sell and assign (and/or contribute and assign) to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from the Originator, (i) all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to its Gift Shop Receipts, (ii) all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to its Private Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and (iii) Participation Interests in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to its Government Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

The Originator and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales or absolute contributions to Buyer by the Originator of the Transferred Assets, providing Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Transferred Assets, and neither the Originator nor Buyer intends these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to the Originator.

Buyer plans to finance its purchase of Gift Shop Receipts, Private Receivables and Participation Interests in part by borrowing pursuant to that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated as of August 31, 2007 (as amended, restated, replaced and/or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Credit and Security Agreement”) among Buyer and certain of its Affiliates, as joint and several borrowers, Parent, as Performance Guarantor, UHS of Delaware, Inc., as initial Servicer, Variable Funding Capital Company LLC and Three Pillars Funding LLC, as conduit lenders (collectively, the Conduits), SunTrust Bank and Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”), as liquidity lenders, (collectively, the “Liquidity Banks”), SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. (“STRH”) as a co-agent, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as a co-agent and as administrative agent (in such latter capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND PURCHASES

Section 1.1 Contributions.

(a) On or before the date hereof, the Originator will contribute to the Buyer’s capital: (i) Private Receivables having an approximate aggregate book value of $[                    ] (the “Initial Contributed Receivables”) together with all Related Security and Collections associated therewith, (ii) Participation Interests in Government Receivables having an approximate aggregate book value of $[                    ] (the “Initial Contributed Participation Interests”), together with all Related Security and Collections associated therewith, (iii) Gift Shop Receipts in the amount of $[                    ] (the “Initial Contributed Gift Shop Receipts”), and the Buyer will accept such contributions.

(b) From time to time hereafter, the Originator may in its sole discretion contribute to the Buyer’s capital: (i) additional Private Receivables identified by the Originator (together with the Initial Contributed Receivables, “Contributed Receivables”), together with all Related Security and Collections associated therewith, (ii) Participation Interests in Government Receivables identified by the Originator (together with the Initial Contributed Participation Interests, “Contributed Participation Interests”), (iii) Gift Shop Receipts identified by the Originator (together with the Initial Contributed Gift Shop Receipts, the “Contributed Gift Shop Receipts”), and the Buyer will accept such contributions.

 

2


Section 1.2 Facility. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and without recourse to the Originator (except to the extent specifically provided herein), the Originator shall sell to the Buyer: (i) all of its right, title and interest in, under and to all Private Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables) and the Related Security and Collections associated therewith, (ii) all of its right, title and interest in and to all Gift Shop Receipts originated by it from time to time (other than Contributed Gift Shop Receipts), and (iii) Participation Interests in all Government Receivables (other than Contributed Participation Interests) originated by it from time to time, and the Buyer shall purchase from the Originator all such Private Receivables and Gift Shop Receipts and all such Participation Interests of the Originator from time to time, in each case during the period from the date hereof to and including the Facility Termination Date (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement).

Section 1.3 Making Purchases.

(a) Initial Purchase. The Originator shall give the Buyer at least one Business Day’s notice of its request for the initial Purchase, which request shall specify the date of such Purchase (which shall be the date hereof) and the proposed Purchase Price for such Purchase. On the date of such Purchase, the Buyer shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, pay the Purchase Price for such Purchase in the manner provided in Section 1.3(d). Effective upon such payment, the Originator hereby sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to the Buyer (i) all Private Receivables originated by it and in existence on the date hereof (other than Initial Contributed Receivables), (ii) all Gift Shop Receipts originated by it and in existence on the date hereof (other than Initial Contributed Gift Shop Receipts) and (iii) Participation Interests in all Government Receivables originated by it in existence on the date hereof (other than Initial Contributed Participation Interests).

(b) Subsequent Purchases. On each Business Day following the initial Purchase, unless either party shall notify the other party to the contrary, the Originator shall sell to the Buyer and the Buyer shall purchase from the Originator, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III: (i) all Private Receivables and Gift Shop Receipts originated by the Originator, and (ii) Participation Interests in all Government Receivables originated by the Originator, in each case which have not previously been sold to the Buyer. The Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price for such Purchase in the manner provided in Section 1.3(d). Effective on each Purchase Date, the Originator hereby sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to the Buyer (i) all Private Receivables originated by it and not previously sold or contributed to the Buyer, (ii) all Gift Shop Receipts originated by it and not previously sold or contributed to the Buyer, and (iii) all Participation Interests in all Government Receivables originated by it and not previously sold or contributed to the Buyer.

 

3


(c) Special Provisions Relating to Sales and Contributions of Participation Interests. Following each sale or contribution of a Participation Interest in a Government Receivable, the Originator hereby agrees to hold such Government Receivable and any Related Security, Collections and proceeds with respect thereto for the benefit of the Buyer; provided that the Originator shall take no action in contravention of any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Government Receivable. It is understood and agreed that sales and contributions of Participation Interests in Government Receivables shall not include any right to collect the proceeds of any Government Receivable directly from the applicable Governmental Entity, except insofar as a court of competent jurisdiction shall order such Governmental Entity to make such payments directly to the Buyer or its assigns.

(d) Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the initial Purchase shall be paid on the Purchase Date therefor, and the Purchase Price for each subsequent Purchase shall be paid on the next Settlement Date after the Purchase Date therefor, in each case, by means of any one or a combination of the following: (i) a credit from the Buyer to the Originator on the books and records of the Parent in an amount not to exceed the lesser of the Purchase Price and the cash then available to the Buyer, or (ii) a Subordinated Loan in a principal amount equal to the Deferred Purchase Price (if any) payable to the Originator. The allocation of the Purchase Price as among such methods of payment shall be subject in each instance to the approval of the Buyer and the Originator; provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Subordinated Loans may not be increased to the extent that, after giving effect to such increase, the Tangible Net Worth of Buyer would be less than the Required Capital Amount. The obligations of the Buyer in respect of the Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by a Subordinated Note payable to the Originator.

(e) Ownership of Transferred Assets. On each Purchase Date, after giving effect to the Purchase and any contributions on such date, the Buyer shall own all Transferred Assets in existence as of such date. The Purchase or contribution of any Private Receivable or Participation Interest shall include all Related Security and Collections with respect to such Private Receivable or Participation Interest.

(f) Purchase Reports. On or before each Monthly Reporting Date, the Originator shall (or shall require the Servicer to) deliver to Buyer a report in substantially the form of Exhibit VI hereto (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) with respect to the Transferred Assets sold or contributed by the Originator to Buyer during the Settlement Period then most recently ended.

Section 1.4 Intention of the Parties. The Originator and the Buyer intend that the transfer of each Gift Shop Receipt, Purchased Receivable and Participation Interest hereunder from the Originator to the Buyer be treated as a sale or outright capital contribution of

 

4


all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Gift Shop Receipt, Purchased Receivable and Participation Interest (as the case may be) and that, immediately after giving effect to the transfer, the Originator will have no further interest (legal or equitable) in any Gift Shop Receipt, Purchased Receivable or Participation Interest. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed by the Originator pursuant to Section 1.5, the sale and contribution of Transferred Assets hereunder by the Originator shall be made without recourse to the Originator; provided, however, that (i) the Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale or contribution does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Originator or any other Person arising in connection with such Transferred Assets, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of the Originator. The Originator and the Buyer shall record each Purchase as a sale, contribution or purchase, as the case may be, on its books and records, and reflect each Purchase in its financial statements and tax returns as a sale, contribution or purchase, as the case may be. The parties intend that the Purchase Price with respect to each Transferred Asset shall constitute reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor, and that no transfer hereunder may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended. In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the Originator and the Buyer, any Purchase of Gift Shop Receipts, Purchased Receivables and/or Participation Interests hereunder is not characterized as a sale or contribution but rather as a collateral transfer for security (or the transactions contemplated hereby are characterized as a financing transaction), such Purchase shall be deemed to be a secured financing, secured by a security interest in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest, now or hereafter existing and hereafter arising in, to and under (x) all Gift Shop Receipts, (y) all Private Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections, and (z) all Government Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest now or hereafter existing in, to and under the Transferred Assets and the Government Receivables to secure the repayment of all amounts due and owing by the Originator to the Buyer hereunder with accrued interest thereon, if applicable, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent and all proceeds thereof (such amounts, the “Secured Obligations”).

Section 1.5 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Purchased Receivable or a Purchased Participation Interest purchased from the Originator is:

(a) reduced as a result of any discount or adjustment by the Originator (other than as a result the insolvency, bankruptcy, creditworthiness or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor); or

(b) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction),

 

5


then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the Originator hereunder equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Purchased Receivable or a Purchased Participation Interest, as the case may be (calculated before giving effect to the applicable reduction or cancellation) or such lesser amount by which the Outstanding Balance has been reduced. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Transferred Assets originated by the Originator on any day, the Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash immediately, provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred, the Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under the Subordinated Note.

Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be credited in accordance with the terms hereof to the account of the Originator designated from time to time by the Originator or as otherwise directed by the Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Rate in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

Section 1.7 License of Software.

(a) To the extent that any software used by the Originator to account for the Transferred Assets originated by it is non-transferable, the Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all such software used by the Originator to account for such Transferred Assets, to the extent necessary to administer such Transferred Assets, whether such software is owned by the Originator or is owned by others and used by the Originator under license agreements with respect thereto; provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein to be effective, such grant will be conditioned upon such consent, and Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee), the Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. If any software used by the Originator to account for the Transferred Assets originated by it prohibits the Originator from granting the license to use described herein, or if, after reasonable efforts, consent of any licensor of such software for the grant of the license described herein is not obtained, there shall be no transfer of such software hereunder or any grant by the Originator of the license to use described herein. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the collection or write-off of all Purchased Receivables or Purchased Participations hereunder.

 

6


(b) The Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Transferred Assets purchased from the Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for such Transferred Assets and/or to recreate such Records.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties. The Originator hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and Buyer’s assigns, on the date hereof and on each date that any Private Receivable, Participation Interest or Gift Shop Receipt is originated by the Originator on or after the date hereof, that:

(a) Existence and Power. The Originator is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization specified on Schedule 1 to this Agreement, and is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Power and Authority; Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery. The execution and delivery by the Originator of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder are within its organizational powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on its part. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Originator is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Originator.

(c) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the Originator of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on assets of such Person, or contravene or violate (i) its Organizational Documents, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property (except as created under the Transaction Documents) except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and no transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(d) Governmental Authorization. Other than the filing of the financing statements naming the Originator, as a debtor or seller, as required hereunder, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and delivery by the Originator of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

 

7


(e) Actions, Suits. Except as set forth in the Parent’s periodic reports and reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date hereof, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best knowledge of the Originator, threatened, against or affecting the Originator, or any of its properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Binding Effect. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(g) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by the Originator or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Person or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not misleading.

(h) Use of Proceeds. No portion of any Purchase Price payment hereunder will be used (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Originator or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(i) Good Title. Immediately prior to each Purchase hereunder and upon the creation of each Receivable originated by the Originator after the Initial Cut-Off Date, the Originator has good and marketable title to the Transferred Assets free and clear of any Lien.

(j) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements and assignments contemplated hereby, is effective to transfer to Buyer (and Buyer shall acquire from the Originator, directly or indirectly): (i) legal and equitable title to with the right to sell and encumber each Transferred Asset originated by the Originator, whether now existing or hereafter arising, together with the Collections with respect thereto, and (ii) all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in the Related Security associated with each such Transferred Asset, in each case, free and clear of any Lien, except as created by the Transaction Documents. Unless Buyer (or its assigns) have caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in

 

8


order to perfect the ownership interest in the Transferred Assets granted to the Buyer hereunder, the Originator has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of such financing statements. In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the Originator and the Buyer, any Purchase of Transferred Assets hereunder is not characterized as a sale or contribution but rather as a collateral transfer for security (or the transactions contemplated hereby are characterized as a financing transaction), this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Transferred Assets in favor of the Buyer, which security interest is (or, in the case of Gift Shop Receipts, will be upon the daily sweep from a Local Deposit Account to the Concentration Account) prior to all other security interests, and enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Originator.

(k) Places of Business and Locations of Records. The principal place of business of the Originator and the offices where it keeps all of its Records are located at the addresses listed on Exhibit II or such other locations of which Buyer has been notified in accordance with Section 4.2(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 4.2(a) has been taken and completed. The Originator’s Federal Employer Identification Number and Organizational Identification Number are correctly set forth on Schedule 1.

(l) Collection Procedures. The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 4.1(i) have at all times been satisfied and duly performed. The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection Accounts of the Originator at each Collection Bank and the post office box number of each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit III. The full amount of available funds in each of the Local Deposit Accounts is swept daily into the Concentration Account pursuant to standing sweep instructions that remain in full force and effect (in the case of Local Deposit Accounts maintained at Bank of America) or pursuant to daily ACH instructions (in the case of all other Local Deposit Accounts). All payments on the Government Receivables originated by the Originator are paid either into one of the Originator’s Local Deposit Accounts or directly into the Concentration Account, and payment of the Originator’s Government Receivables directly into the Concentration Account does not conflict with any rules or regulations applicable to such Government Receivables. The Originator has not granted any Person, other than Buyer (and its assigns) dominion and control of any Lock-Box or any Local Deposit Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box or Local Deposit Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event. The Originator (or the Servicer on its behalf) has the ability to identify, within one Business Day, any amounts deposited into any of its Local Deposit Accounts that do not represent payments on account of Transferred Assets.

(m) Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Parent’s periodic reports and reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time prior to the date hereof, since December 31, 2006, no event has occurred that would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Originator.

 

9


(n) Names. The name in which the Originator has executed this Agreement is identical to the name of the Originator as indicated on the public record of its state of organization which shows the Originator to have been organized. In the five (5) years prior to the date of this Agreement, the Originator has not used any names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement and as listed on Exhibit II.

(o) Ownership of Buyer. Parent owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Originator and Buyer other than (i) District Hospital Partners, L.P., (ii) Valley Health System LLC, (iii) Summerlin Hospital Medical Center LLC, and (iv) Laredo Regional Medical Center L.P., in each of which Parent owns, directly or indirectly, a majority interest. Such Equity Interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Buyer or the Originator.

(p) Not an Investment Company. The Originator is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.

(q) Compliance with Law. The Originator has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Originator. Each Receivable originated by the Originator, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Originator. The sale or contribution of Private Receivables and Participation Interests pursuant to this Agreement does not violate Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, The Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any applicable state’s assignment of claims act, or any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to the foregoing.

(r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy.

(s) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, the Originator (i) will not hold itself out to third parties as liable for the debts of Buyer nor purport to own any of the Transferred Assets and other assets acquired by Buyer, (ii) will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that Buyer is at all times in compliance with the “separateness covenants” set forth in Section 7.1(i) of the Credit and Security Agreement and (iii) will cause all tax liabilities arising in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or otherwise to be allocated between the Originator and Buyer on an arm’s-length basis and in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulations §§1.1502-33(d) and 1.1552-1.

The Originator will not grant the right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Local Deposit Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to Buyer (or its assigns) as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

16


(j) Taxes. The Originator will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books. The Originator will pay when due any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with the Transferred Assets originated by it, and hold Buyer and its assigns harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes and governmental charges.

Section 4.2 Negative Covenants of Originators. Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, the Originator hereby covenants that:

(a) Name Change, Offices and Records.

(b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors or Sweep Instructions.

The Originator will not open any new Local Deposit Account unless (i) it shall have delivered not less than 5 Business Days’ notice of its intention to do so to Buyer (and its assignee), and (ii) simultaneously with the opening of such account, it shall have instructed the applicable Collection Bank to sweep the available funds deposited into such Local Deposit Account each day into the Concentration Account. The Originator will not change the instructions to any Governmental Entity obligated on any Government Receivable to make payments thereon either directly to the Concentration Account or to a Lock-Box or Local Deposit Account that sweeps daily into the Concentration Account. The Originator will not authorize any Person to make payments or deposits into any Lock-Box or Collection Account other than Collections in respect to Transferred Assets. Buyer acknowledges that payments not for Transferred Assets, including payments in respect of Lease Receivables, may from time to time be deposited by mistake into a Local Deposit Account, and agrees that such deposits will not violate this covenant so long as they are immaterial in relation to the average monthly receipts in such Local Deposit Account and are free and clear of any Lien.

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. The Originator will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables originated by it or decrease the credit quality of any of its newly created Receivables.

The Originator will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Lien upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any Transferred Asset, or upon or with respect to any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of Buyer provided for herein), and the Originator will defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Originator.

(e) Accounting for Purchase. The Originator will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, financially account (whether in financial statements or otherwise) for the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale or outright capital contribution by the Originator to Buyer of the Transferred Assets originated by the Originator and the associated Related Security or in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale or contribution of such Transferred Assets and Related Security by the Originator to Buyer except to the extent that such transactions are not recognized on account of consolidated financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
