CONVEYANCES OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS

 

SECTION 2.1 Conveyances.

 

(a)          On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller agrees to Convey to the Purchaser, without recourse except to the extent specifically provided herein, on the Effective Date, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Seller on the Effective Date (the “Initial Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Collateral Obligation listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (as such schedule may be amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Schedule of Collateral Obligations”) (the Schedule of Collateral Obligations, as amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified shall become part of the Schedule of Collateral Obligations attached to the Loan Agreement), together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing.

 

(b)          In the event the Purchaser agrees, from time to time after the Effective Date, to acquire additional Collateral Obligations (including Related Security) from the Seller, the Purchaser shall deliver written notice thereof to the Facility Agent substantially in the form set forth in Schedule B hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”), designating the date of the proposed Conveyance (a “Subsequent Conveyance Date”) and attaching a supplement to the Schedule of Collateral Obligations identifying the Transferred Assets proposed to be Conveyed. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the Seller shall Convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase, on the applicable Subsequent Conveyance Date (each such purchase and sale being herein called a “Subsequent Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Collateral Obligation then reported by the Seller on the Schedule of Collateral Obligations attached to the related Purchase Notice, together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing.

 

 

(c)          It is the express intent of the Seller and the Purchaser that each Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and/or contribution of such Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser. Further, it is not the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that any purchase be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Transferred 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, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and other Applicable Law and (ii) the Conveyances by the Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in, to and under all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such Transferred Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing. The Purchaser and its assignees shall have, with respect to such Transferred Assets and other related rights, in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser and its assignees and under the other Transaction Documents, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

 

The Seller and the Purchaser 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 the Transferred Assets to secure a debt or other obligation, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller represents and warrants that the Transferred Assets are being transferred with the intention of removing them from the Seller’s estate pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(d)          In connection with the Initial Conveyance, the Seller agrees to file on or prior to the Effective Date, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements with respect to the Transferred Assets Conveyed by the Seller hereunder from time to time meeting the requirements of applicable state law in the jurisdiction of the Seller’s organization to perfect and protect the interests of the Purchaser created hereby under the UCC against all creditors of, and purchasers from, the Seller, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after its receipt thereof.

 

(e)          The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary or as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to perfect or protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Transferred Assets purchased hereunder or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, in order to accurately reflect the Conveyances contemplated by this Agreement, execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted pursuant hereto) or other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser and ▇▇▇▇ its master computer records (or related sub-ledger) noting the purchase by the Purchaser of the Transferred Assets and the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the Purchaser shall be permitted to sign (if necessary) and file, initial financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Seller’s signature; provided that the description of collateral contained in such financing statements shall be limited to only Transferred Assets. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

 

 

(f)          Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agree that prior to the time of Conveyance of any Collateral Obligation hereunder, the Purchaser has no rights to or claim of benefit from any Collateral Obligation (or any interest therein) owned by the Seller.

 

SECTION 2.2 Indemnification. Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis the Purchaser and its successors, transferees, and assigns (including each Secured Party) and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them by reason of (i) any act or omission constituting bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence by the Seller in the performance of or reckless disregard of its obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or (ii) any breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party (a) to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party and (b) resulting from the performance of the Collateral Obligations. 

 

SECTION 2.3 Administrative Convenience. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, the Seller may direct that a Collateral Obligation 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 indorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with (a) the acquisition of a Collateral Obligation as a lender at the closing thereof may be executed and delivered directly by the Purchaser at the direction of the Seller or (b) the transfer of a Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of the related Underlying Instruments may reflect that the Seller (or any affiliate thereof or any third party from whom the Seller may purchase a Collateral Obligation) is assigning such Collateral Obligation 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 indorsement) shall be deemed to impair the transfers of the related Collateral Obligation by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE III

 

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT; REPORTING

 

SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Transferred Assets Conveyed on each Purchase Date shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair market value (as agreed upon between the Seller and the Purchaser at the time of such Conveyance) of such Transferred Assets as of such date.

 

 

SECTION 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid on the related Purchase Date (a) first, by payment in cash in immediately available funds in an amount not greater than the sum of (i) the proceeds of Advances made to the Purchaser with respect to such Collateral Obligations to be Conveyed on such Purchase Date and (ii) amounts constituting Principal Collections in the Collections Account utilized for a Reinvestment pursuant to Section 8.3(b) of the Loan Agreement and (b) second, by the Seller making a capital contribution to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price.

 

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on such Purchase Date elect to designate all or a portion of the Transferred Assets proposed to be transferred by it to the Purchaser on such date as a capital contribution to the Purchaser. In such event, the Purchase Price payable with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price of the Transferred Assets that was so contributed; provided that Transferred Assets contributed to the Purchaser as capital shall constitute Transferred Assets for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be subject to all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities hereunder (the same as any Transferred Asset acquired by the Purchaser hereunder with a cash payment).

 

ARTICLE IV

There are currently no, and during the past four months (or such shorter time as the Seller has been in existence) there have not been, any other locations where the Seller is located (as that term is used in the UCC of the jurisdiction where such principal place of business is located).

 

(k)         Backup Security Interest. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then:

 

i.            this Agreement creates a valid and continuing Lien on the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets in favor of the Purchaser and the Facility Agent, as assignee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which security interest is validly perfected under Article 9 of the UCC (to the extent such security interest may be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement under such article), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller;

 

ii.           the Transferred Assets are comprised of Instruments, Security Entitlements, General Intangibles, Certificated Securities, Uncertificated Securities, Securities Accounts, Investment Property and Proceeds and such other categories of collateral under the applicable UCC as to which the Seller has complied with its obligations as set forth herein;

 

iii.          the Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred Collateral Obligations Conveyed to the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date, free and clear of any Lien;

 

iv.          the Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of any Collateral Obligation to the sale and granting of a security interest in the Collateral Obligations hereunder to the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties;

 

v.           the Seller has caused or authorized the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the security interest in that portion of the Transferred Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Maryland;

 

 

vi.          the Seller has not filed or authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statement against the Seller that includes as a description of collateral covering any Collateral Obligation other than financing statements (A) relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser and the Facility Agent under this Agreement or pursuant to any other Transaction Document, or (B) that have been terminated and/or fully and validly assigned to the Facility Agent on or prior to the Effective Date;

 

vii.         all original executed copies of each underlying promissory note constituting or evidencing any Transferred Asset have been or, subject to the delivery requirements contained in the Loan Agreement, will be delivered to the Purchaser;

 

viii.        none of the underlying promissory notes that constitute or evidence the Collateral Obligations has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise Conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties;

 

ix.          with respect to a Transferred Asset that constitutes a Certificated Security, such Certificated Security has been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or will be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, and, if in registered form, has been specially Indorsed (within the meaning of the UCC) to the Purchaser or its designee or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been registered in the name of the Purchaser or its designee upon original issue or registration of transfer by the Seller of such Certificated Security, in each case, promptly upon receipt but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the related Funding Date; provided that any file-stamped document, promissory note and certificates including in any Collateral Obligation File shall be delivered as soon as they are reasonably available (even if not within three (3) Business Days of the related Funding Date); and in the case of an Uncertificated Security, by (A) causing the Purchaser or its designee to become the registered owner of such uncertificated security and (B) causing such registration to remain effective.

 

(l)          Fair Consideration; No Avoidance for Collateral Obligation Payments. With respect to each Transferred Collateral Obligation Conveyed hereunder, the Seller Conveyed such Transferred Collateral Obligation to the Purchaser in exchange for payment, made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in an amount which constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value. Each such Conveyance referred to in the preceding sentence shall not have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Purchaser and, accordingly, no such sale is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, no such Conveyance shall have been made with the intent to hinder or delay payment to or defraud any creditor of the Seller.

 

(m)        Eligibility of Transferred Collateral Obligations. Each Transferred Collateral Obligation Conveyed hereunder is, at the time of such Conveyance, an Eligible Collateral Obligation. At the time of such Conveyance, no event has occurred and is continuing which could reasonably be expected to affect the collectibility of such Transferred Collateral Obligation or cause it not to be paid in full. As of each Purchase Date, Schedule A is an accurate and complete listing of all the Transferred Collateral Obligations and other Transferred Assets hereunder as of such Purchase Date.

 

 

(n)         Adequate Capitalization; No Insolvency. The Seller is not the subject of any Insolvency Event. The Seller is adequately capitalized and solvent and will not become insolvent after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Seller is adequately capitalized for its business as proposed to be conducted in the foreseeable future and does not expect the commencement of any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or similar official in respect of its assets. The Seller executed and delivered each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party for fair consideration and without the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors or any other Person.

 

(o)         [Reserved].

 

(p)         Reports Accurate. No Officer’s Certificate of the Seller, information, exhibit, financial statement, document, book, record or report furnished by the Seller to the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Agents, or the Collateral Custodian in connection with this Agreement is inaccurate in any material respect as of the date it is dated, and no such document contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in any material respect; provided that, solely with respect to written or electronic information furnished by the Seller which was provided to the Seller from an Obligor with respect to a Loan, such information need only be accurate, true and correct to the knowledge of the Seller; provided, further, that the foregoing proviso shall not apply to any information from an Obligor presented in an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller. Any projections or forward-looking information (including such statements with respect to the collectability of, or risks or benefits associated with a Loan) provided by or on behalf of the Seller were prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Seller to be reasonable at the time so prepared.

(r)         Investment Company Status. The Seller is regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act.

 

(s)         Payment in Full. The Seller has no knowledge of any fact which leads it or should have led a reasonable person to expect that any payments on any Transferred Asset at the time of Conveyance will not be paid in full when due or to expect any other material adverse effect on (A) the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, (B) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, or (C) the Transferred Assets or the interests of the Seller therein.

 

(t)         [Reserved].

 

(u)         No Servicer Default; No Facility Termination Event. No Servicer Default or Facility Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

 

 

(v)          [Reserved].

 

(w)        [Reserved].

 

(x)         Restricted Payments. The Seller shall not cause or permit the Purchaser to make any payments or distributions which would violate Section 10.16 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(y)         Special Purpose Entity. The Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities separate and distinct from those of the Seller and any Affiliates thereof. From and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including all steps that the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller, and to make it manifest to third parties that the Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and not just a division of the Seller or any such other Affiliate.

 

(z)          [Reserved].

 

(aa)        Set–Off, etc. As of the related Purchase Date with respect to any Transferred Asset, such Transferred Asset has not been compromised, adjusted, extended, satisfied, subordinated, rescinded, set–off or modified by the Seller or by the Obligor thereof, and no such Transferred Asset is subject to compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, subordination, rescission, set–off, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, deduction, reduction, termination or modification, whether arising out of transactions concerning such Transferred Asset or otherwise, by the Seller or by the Obligor with respect thereto, except, in each case, for amendments, extensions and modifications, if any, to such Transferred Asset otherwise permitted under the Transaction Documents and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

(bb)       No Fraud. Each Collateral Obligation was originated without any fraud or material misrepresentation by the Seller or, to the Seller’s knowledge, on the part of the related Obligor.

COVENANTS OF THE SELLER

 

SECTION 5.1 Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the Purchaser that, from the date hereof, and until all amounts owed by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement have been paid in full (other than as expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), unless the Purchaser otherwise consents in writing:

 

(a)          Compliance with Agreements and Applicable Laws. The Seller shall perform each of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, including those applicable to the Transferred Collateral Obligations and all proceeds thereof.

 

(b)          Maintenance of Existence and Conduct of Business. The Seller shall: (i) do or cause to be done all things necessary to (A) preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation and maintain its rights and franchises in its jurisdiction of incorporation and (B) qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation in good standing and preserve its rights and franchises in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify and remain qualified and preserve its rights and franchises would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) continue to conduct its business substantially as now conducted or as otherwise permitted hereunder and under its Constituent Documents; and (iii) at all times maintain, preserve and protect all of its licenses, permits, charters and registrations in each case except where the failure to maintain such licenses, permits, charters and registrations would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its assets, operations, properties, financial condition, or business.

 

(c)          Cash Management Systems: Deposit of Collections. The Seller shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections to the Collection Account by the close of business on the Business Day following the date such Collections are received.

 

(d)          Books and Records. The Seller shall keep proper books of record and account in which full and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets and business of the Seller in accordance with GAAP, maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures; and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information necessary or reasonably advisable and relating to the Transferred Assets prior to their Conveyance hereunder for the collection of all Transferred Assets.

 

(e)          Accounting of Purchases. Other than for tax and consolidated accounting purposes, the Seller will not account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale or contribution of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser; provided that for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Purchaser is treated as a “disregarded entity” and, therefore, the transfer of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will not be recognized.

 

 

(f)          Payment, Performance and Discharge of Obligations. The Seller shall pay, perform and discharge or cause to be paid, performed and discharged promptly all Charges payable by it except where the failure to so pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy such obligation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) its ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (ii) its assets, operations, properties, financial condition, or business or (iii) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(g)         Taxes. The Seller will file on a timely basis all tax returns (including foreign, federal, state, local and otherwise) required to be filed and will pay all taxes due and payable by it or any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Official Body (other than any amount the validity of which is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP are provided on the books of the Seller).

 

(h)         ERISA. The Seller shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to, cause or permit to occur an event that results in the imposition of a Lien on any Transferred Asset under Section 412 of the IRC or Section 303(K) or 4068 of ERISA.

 

(i)          Liens. The Seller shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of its rights under any of the Transaction Documents or on or with respect to any of its rights in the Transferred Assets, in each case other than Permitted Liens. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.1(i) shall not apply to any property retained by the Seller and not Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder.

 

(j)          Change of Name. Etc. Except as provided in Section 7.5(i) of the Loan Agreement, the Seller shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller (or by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Seller) in accordance with Section 2.1(c) seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Seller shall have given the Purchaser at least 30 days prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.

 

(k)          Sale Characterization. The Seller shall not treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than for tax or accounting purposes) in any manner other than as a true sale, contribution or absolute assignment of the title to and sole record and beneficial ownership interest of the Transferred Collateral Obligations Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder; provided that the Seller may consolidate the Purchaser and/or its properties and other assets for accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

 

(l)          Commingling. The Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, deposit or permit the deposit of any funds that do not constitute Collections or other proceeds of any Collateral Obligations into the Collection Account.

 

(m)         Separate Identity. From and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller will take all reasonable steps to maintain the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and each other Affiliate of the Seller and to make it manifest to third parties that the Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and not just a division of the Seller or any such other Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, the Seller will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that the Purchaser is at all times in compliance with Section 10.5 of the Loan Agreement; provided that the Seller does not hereby agree to maintain the solvency of the Purchaser.

 

 

(n)         Proceedings. The Seller shall furnish to the Facility Agent, promptly and in any event within three (3) Business Days after any Responsible Officer of the Seller receives notice or obtains actual knowledge thereof, notice of any settlement of, material judgment (including a material judgment with respect to the liability phase of a bifurcated trial) in or commencement of any material labor controversy, material litigation, material action, material suit or material proceeding before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, affecting the Transferred Assets, the Transaction Documents, the Purchaser’s interest in the Transferred Assets or the Seller, in each case which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(o)         Non-Petition. The Seller hereby agrees that it shall not file, or join in the filing of, any petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under any applicable law against the Purchaser for the nonpayment of any amounts due hereunder until the payment in full of the Advances made under the Loan Agreement and the expiration of a period equal to the applicable preference period under the Bankruptcy Code plus ten (10) days following said payment. The provisions of this Section 5.1(p) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

(p)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Purchaser, or join any other Person in instituting against the Purchaser, any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Event in the Loan Agreement) so long as any amounts due from the Purchaser hereunder shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such amounts shall be outstanding. The foregoing shall not limit such Person’s right to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any Person other than such Person. The provisions of this Section 5.1(p) are a material inducement for the parties to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and are an essential term hereof. The parties hereby agree that monetary damages are not adequate for a breach of the provisions of this Section 5.1(p) and the parties hereto may seek and obtain specific performance of such provisions (including injunctive relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, winding up, insolvency, moratorium, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under United States federal or state bankruptcy laws, or any similar laws. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Upon payment of the Repurchase Amount pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Purchaser shall convey the related Warranty Collateral Obligation to the Seller, without warranty except for the absence of liens imposed by the Purchaser, the Facility Agent or their respective designees.

 

SECTION 6.2 Dilutions, Etc. The Seller agrees that if, on any day following the Revolving Period, the Principal Balance of a Transferred Collateral Obligation that has been sold by the Seller hereunder is either reduced or adjusted as a result of any setoff by the Obligor against the Seller, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Transferred Collateral Obligation in the amount of such setoff and shall, within two (2) Business Days, pay to the Collection Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to such setoff.
