(k) The Seller shall, at all times, continue to fulfill its obligations, if any, under and in conformance with the terms of the applicable Related Contracts (other than with respect to obligations from which the Seller is released in connection with the Purchaser becoming a lender of record with respect to the related Loan Asset) related to any Sale Portfolio purchased hereunder, including without limitation any obligations pertaining to any Retained Interest.

(l) The Seller and the Purchaser each acknowledge with respect to itself that the representations and warranties of the Seller in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof and of the Purchaser in Section 4.3 hereof, and the covenants and agreements of the Seller herein, including without limitation, in Article V and Article VI hereof, will run to and be for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), when permitted to do so under the Credit Agreement, may enforce directly (without joinder of the Purchaser when enforcing against the Seller) the obligations of the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, with respect to breaches of such representations, warranties, covenants and all other obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

(m) In addition to the rights of the Purchaser to acquire any Sale Portfolio directly from the Seller, for administrative convenience the Purchaser may fund any Loan Asset directly as a primary lender at the origination thereof or may acquire any Sale Portfolio directly from a third party seller. Each such Loan Asset shall constitute part of the Sale Portfolio and shall be deemed a Seller Loan Asset and shall be deemed to be Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser and purchased by the Purchaser from the Seller for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the delivery of a Loan Assignment listing such Loan Assets, the conditions precedent to all purchases, the representations and warranties of the Seller, the covenants of the Seller and the indemnity of the Seller, contained herein shall apply to the Seller with equal force with respect to any sales and assignments for administrative convenience under this Agreement (whether in connection with any sale or assignment by any related seller to the Purchaser) as if such sale and assignment was directly or indirectly, as applicable, from the Seller to the Purchaser as provided herein.

Section 2.2. Purchase Price.

The purchase price for each item of Sale Portfolio Sold to the Purchaser hereunder (the “Purchase Price”) shall be in a dollar amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Loan Asset as determined from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser and each such transaction shall be on terms no less favorable to the Purchaser than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate.

Section 2.3. Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) The Purchase Price for any Sale Portfolio Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on any Purchase Date shall be paid in a combination of: (i) immediately available funds and (ii) if the Purchaser does not have sufficient available funds to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price (after taking into account the proceeds the Purchaser expects to receive pursuant to the Loans under the Credit Agreement), by means of a capital contribution by the Seller to the Purchaser.

(b) The portion of such Purchase Price to be paid in immediately available funds shall be paid by wire transfer on the applicable Purchase Date to an account designated by the Seller on or before such Purchase Date or by means of proper accounting entries being entered upon the accounts and records of the Seller and the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on any Purchase Date elect to designate all or a portion of the Sale Portfolio proposed to be transferred to the Purchaser on such date as a capital contribution to the Purchaser. In such event, the Purchase Price payable in immediately available funds with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price of the Sale Portfolio that was so contributed; provided, that, Loan Assets contributed to the Purchaser as capital shall constitute part of the Sale Portfolio for all purposes of this Agreement. To the extent that the cash purchase price paid by Purchaser to Seller for any Sale Portfolio is less than the Fair Market Value of such Sale Portfolio, the balance of the Purchase Price will be deemed paid by a capital contribution made by the Seller to Purchaser. In addition, the Seller may elect to contribute capital to the Purchaser to permit the Purchaser to fund any Loan Asset at origination or to acquire any Loan Asset from a third party seller.

(d) In connection with each delivery of a Loan Assignment, on the related Purchase Date the Seller shall be deemed to have certified, with respect to the Sale Portfolio to be Sold to the Purchaser on such day, that its representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 are true and correct in all respects on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day (other than any representation or warranty that is made as of a specific date).

(e) Upon the payment of the Purchase Price for any Purchase, title to the Sale Portfolio included in such Purchase shall vest in the Purchaser, whether or not the conditions precedent to such Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained herein were in fact satisfied; provided, that the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement for the failure by the Seller in fact to satisfy any such condition precedent, covenant or agreement.

Section 2.4. Nature of the Sales.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto (i) that the Sale of the Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder be, and be treated for all purposes (other than tax and accounting purposes), as an absolute sale by the Seller (free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens) of such Sale Portfolio and (ii) the Purchaser shall be entitled to dispose of any such Sale Portfolio in its discretion and shall have no duty or obligation to account to the Seller in connection with any such disposition. It is further not the intention of the parties that such Sale be deemed a pledge or charge of the Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the

 

12


parties, the Sale Portfolio is held to continue to be property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of the Sale Portfolio provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a first-priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Sale Portfolio and all amounts payable to the holders of the Sale Portfolio in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Controlled Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Sale Portfolio together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian on behalf of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of Sale Portfolio and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree in such event that any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Sale Portfolio, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Sale Portfolio Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Purchaser and shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy or similar law.

(c) The Purchaser and the Seller each agree to treat, for all purposes (other than tax and accounting purposes), the transactions effected by this Agreement as sales of assets to the Purchaser. The Seller agrees to reflect in the Seller’s financial records and to include a note in the annual and quarterly financial statements of the Seller indicating that those assets are owned by a special purpose entity that is consolidated in the financial statements of the Seller, and the creditors of that special purpose entity have received a security interest in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of the Seller (or any affiliate of the Seller).

Section 2.5. Administrative Convenience. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, the Seller may direct that a Loan Asset be titled directly into the name of the Purchaser, and/or that any document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any original promissory note, any chain of endorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with (a) the acquisition of a Loan Asset as a lender or participant at

 

13


the closing thereof may be executed and delivered directly by the Purchaser at the direction of the Seller or (b) the transfer of a Loan Asset in accordance with the terms of Required Loan Documents may reflect that the Seller (or any affiliate of either thereof or any third party from whom the Seller may purchase a Loan Asset) is assigning such Loan Asset directly to the Purchaser. Nothing in any such document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any original promissory note, nothing in such chain of endorsement) shall be deemed to impair the transfers of the related Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Upon any such set–off, the Purchaser shall give notice of the amount thereof and the reasons therefor to the Seller.

Section 8.15. Headings and Exhibits. The headings herein are for purposes of references only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof.

Section 8.16. Subordination. After giving effect to any payment relating to any indebtedness, obligation or claim the Seller may from time to time hold or otherwise have against the Purchaser or any assets or properties of the Purchaser, whether arising hereunder or otherwise existing, the Senior Advance Rate Test must be satisfied and the Principal Collateralization Amount at such time must exceed the Obligations owed by the Purchaser to the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that at any time during which the condition set forth in the preceding sentence shall not be satisfied, the Seller shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment of any indebtedness or obligation of the Purchaser owing to each Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under the Credit Agreement.

Section 8.17. Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the Seller’s and the Purchaser’s representations, covenants and obligations set forth in Articles IV, V, VI, and VII, as applicable, create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Stated Maturity; provided that the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 6.1, 8.2, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, 8.12, 8.13, 8.14, 8.18 and 9.1 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.19. Direct Third-Party Transfers. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any transfer document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any Loan Asset the obligations of which are represented by a note, any chain of endorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of an Eligible Loan Asset in accordance with the terms of any applicable Related Contract may reflect that (i) an affiliate of the Seller (or any third party from whom the Seller or the Purchaser may purchase an Eligible Loan Asset) is assigning such Eligible Loan Asset directly to the Purchaser or (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring such Eligible Loan Asset at the closing of such Eligible Loan Asset. Nothing in any such transfer document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any Loan Asset the obligations of which are represented by a note, any chain of endorsement) shall be deemed to impair the transfers of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Eligible Loan Asset shall be subject in all respects to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX.

INDEMNIFICATION.

Section 9.1. Indemnification by the Seller.

The Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the Lender and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, personnel and agents (any one of which is an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, judgments, reasonable legal fees and related costs, and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain as a result of the Seller’s fraud or the failure of the Seller to perform its duties in compliance in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent arising from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud by the Person claiming indemnification; provided that the Seller shall not be liable for any consequential (including loss of profit), indirect, special or punitive damages hereunder. Any Person seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify the Seller if such Person receives a complaint, claim, compulsory process or other notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability giving rise to a claim of indemnification hereunder but failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless and to the extent the Seller is deprived of material substantive or procedural rights or defenses as a result thereof. The Seller shall assume (with the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the defense and any settlement of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. The parties agree that the provisions of this Section 9.01 shall not be interpreted to provide recourse to the Seller against loss by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or lack of creditworthiness of an Obligor with respect to a Loan Asset and that the Seller does not hereby agree to maintain the solvency of the Purchaser. The Seller shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for any uncollectible or uncollected Loan Asset.

Section 9.2. Liabilities to Obligors.

Except with respect to the funding commitment assumed by the Purchaser with respect to any Delayed Funding Loan or Revolving Loan, no obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Loan Assets is intended to be assumed by the Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or any of the other the Secured Parties under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.3. Operation of Indemnities.

If the Seller has made any indemnity payments to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any amounts from others in connection with the same matter or matters that gave rise to such indemnity payments, such Indemnified Party will repay such amounts collected to such Seller up to and including the amount of such indemnity payments.

Section 9.4. Limitation on Liability.

The Seller shall be liable under this Agreement only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement. Each of the Seller and any stockholder, partner, member, manager, director, officer, employee, personnel or agent may rely in good faith on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Each of the Seller and any stockholder, partner, member, manager, director, officer, employee, personnel or agent thereof, as applicable shall be reimbursed by the Purchaser (subject to the availability of funds in accordance with Section 9.1 of

 

40


the Credit Agreement), as applicable, for any liability or expense incurred by reason of the Purchaser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except errors in judgment) in the performance of its respective duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder; provided, however that so long as it is the Services Provider, any such liability or expense relating to acts or omissions of the Purchaser caused by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of the Services Provider’s duties under the Credit Agreement shall not be reimbursable hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be required by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is accepting this Loan Assignment in reliance or the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller contained in the Agreement.

(F) Ratification of the Agreement. The Agreement is hereby ratified, and all references to the “Purchase and Sale Agreement,” to “this Agreement” and “herein” shall be deemed to be a reference to the Agreement as supplemented by this Loan Assignment. Except as expressly amended hereby, all the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and except as expressly provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or consent to non–compliance with any term or provision of the Agreement.

(G) It is the express intent of the parties hereto (i) that the Sale of the Loan Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder be, and be treated for all purposes (other than tax and accounting purposes) as an absolute sale by the Seller (free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens) of such Loan Assets and (ii) the Purchaser shall be entitled to dispose of any such Loan Assets in its discretion and shall have no duty or obligation to account to the Seller in connection with any such disposition. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such Sale be deemed a pledge of such Loan Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such Loan Assets are held to continue to be property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) the Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of the Loan Assets provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a first-priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Loan Assets and all amounts payable to the holders of such Loan Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Controlled Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Loan Assets together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian on behalf of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of such Loan Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree in such event that any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in such Loan Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first-priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under the Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
