Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on Annex A attached hereto, and the principles of interpretation set forth in Annex A hereto shall apply to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, each Seller is a supplier of goods or services to the applicable account debtor listed on Schedule I hereto, as such Schedule I may be updated from time to time by adding or removing account debtors, in each case, with the prior written consent of the applicable Seller and the Purchaser (each, an “Account Debtor” and collectively the “Account Debtors”), and is the legal and beneficial owner of Receivables payable by each such Account Debtor to which it has supplied goods and services; and
WHEREAS, each Seller desires to sell certain Receivables to the Purchaser from time to time, and the Purchaser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, purchase from such Seller such Receivables, pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Sale and Purchase.
(a)Sale and Purchase Procedures. During the effectiveness of the Uncommitted Facility described below, each Seller may from time to time offer to sell to the Purchaser certain Offered Receivables by submitting to the Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to any purchase of Offered Receivables, a Purchase Request, either through the Site or, if the Site is not available, by manually delivering a Purchase Request in accordance with Section 10, and the Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept such offer and purchase from such Seller, in whole or in part, the Offered Receivables identified on such Purchase Request. If and to the extent the Purchaser accepts such Purchase Request, then, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 1(e), the Purchaser shall and hereby does purchase from such Seller, and such Seller shall and hereby does sell to the Purchaser, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest (but none of such Seller’s obligations to the applicable Account Debtor) with respect to such Offered Receivables and all Related Rights with respect thereto as of the Purchase Date (all such Offered Receivables, once sold and purchased hereunder, together with all Related Rights with respect thereto, the “Purchased Receivables”).
(b)Uncommitted Facility.
1 | ||||||||
(i)The Purchaser hereby advises to the Sellers that it has set up an uncommitted facility (the “Uncommitted Facility”) for purposes of purchasing Eligible Receivables hereunder up to an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the Program Limit. The establishment of the Uncommitted Facility and/or the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment, obligation or other undertaking of the Purchaser to purchase any Receivables from any Seller or otherwise extend credit or provide any financial accommodation to any Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser has the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (i) terminate the Uncommitted Facility or (ii) decline to purchase any Receivable that have been offered to the Purchaser by any Seller, in each case, at any time.
(ii)The Purchaser will consider Purchase Requests from any Seller under this Uncommitted Facility until the Purchase Termination Date, unless such facility is earlier terminated by the Purchaser. The Sellers may request an extension of the Purchase Termination Date for a period of up to one (1) year by an irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Annex E attached hereto (a “Facility Extension Request”) delivered to the Purchaser (unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser) not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days before the then current Purchase Termination Date. If the Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to such Facility Extension Request, the Purchaser shall deliver its written consent to such Facility Extension Request, and upon the Purchaser’s delivery of such consent, the then current Purchase Termination Date shall be amended as set forth in such Facility Extension Request, effective as of the date of the then current Purchase Termination Date.
(c)Purchase Price. The purchase price for any Purchased Receivable shall be equal to the Net Receivables Balance of such Purchased Receivable minus the Purchase Discount with respect to such Purchased Receivable (the “Purchase Price”). Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price, denominated in Dollars, to Seller’s Account in immediately available funds on the applicable Purchase Date.
(d)Limited Recourse; True Sale.
(i)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1(d), Section 5 and Section 7 (and the other indemnity and expense reimbursement provisions expressly contained in the Transaction Documents), each purchase of the Purchased Receivables is made without recourse to the applicable Seller and such Seller shall have no liability to the Purchaser for any Account Debtor’s failure to pay any Purchased Receivable when it is due and payable under the terms applicable thereto. Subject to the limited recourse described below and the other Recourse Obligations, the Purchaser agrees that it shall be responsible for the non-payment of any Purchased Receivable to the extent it is the result of an Insolvency Event of the applicable Account Debtor, such assumption of credit risk (with respect to the Outstanding Purchase Price relating thereto only) being effective as of the Purchase Date for such Purchased Receivables.
2 | ||||||||
(ii)The Purchaser and the Sellers have structured the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale, and the Purchaser and the Sellers agree to treat each such transaction as a “true sale” for all purposes under applicable law and accounting principles, including in their respective books, records, computer files, tax returns (federal, state and local), and regulatory and governmental filings (and shall reflect such sale in their respective financial statements). Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price for each Purchased Receivable represents the fair value of such Purchased Receivable, plus the fair value of servicing such Purchased Receivable pursuant to the requirements of Section 2. Each Seller will advise all persons inquiring about the ownership of the Receivables that all Purchased Receivables have been sold to the Purchaser. In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties hereto, any purchase of Purchased Receivables is not characterized as a sale, each Seller shall, effective as of the date hereof, be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser (and such Seller does hereby grant to the Purchaser) a first priority perfected security interest in and to (i) all Purchased Receivables, (ii) all Collections with respect to such Purchased Receivables, (iii) all Collection Accounts into which such Collections may be deposited and all amounts on deposit therein that constitute such Collections (but excluding any amounts that do not constitute Collections with respect to Purchased Receivables), and (iv) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing, in each case, to secure the repayment on demand of all amounts paid to Seller hereunder with accrued interest thereon at the Discount Margin, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement. With respect to such grant of a security interest, the Purchaser may at its option exercise from time to time any and all rights and remedies available to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, under the UCC or otherwise. Each Seller agrees that five (5) Business Days shall be reasonable prior notice to such Seller of the date of any public or private sale or other disposition of all or any of the Purchased Receivables.
(e)Conditions Precedent. Subject at all times to Section 1(b), each purchase of Offered Receivables described in a Purchase Request accepted by the Purchaser in whole or in part is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions prior to the proposed Purchase Date, all to the satisfaction of the Purchaser, and the submission of each Purchase Request shall constitute a representation and warranty by the applicable Seller that each of the following conditions have been satisfied on or prior to the proposed Purchase Date:
(i)the Purchaser shall have received (A) a Purchase Request with respect to the Offered Receivables at least two (2) Business Days prior to any such purchase, and (B) such additional supporting documentation with respect to such Offered Receivables that the Purchaser may have reasonably requested;
(ii)such Seller’s representations and warranties made under the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct on such Purchase Date;
(iii)such Seller is in compliance with all of its covenants under the Transaction Documents, including in its capacity as a Servicer hereunder;
3 | ||||||||
(iv)no Repurchase Event exists on such Purchase Date, unless such Seller has repurchased and paid (or is paying on such proposed Purchase Date) the full amount of the Repurchase Price for the affected Purchased Receivables pursuant to the terms of Section 5 or such repurchase or other payment is being effectuated on such proposed Purchase Date by payment in cash or by setoff by the Purchaser against the Purchase Price for the Offered Receivables;
(v)following the sale and purchase of the Offered Receivables set forth in the related Purchase Request, (A) the Outstanding Purchase Price will not exceed the Program Limit and (B) the Outstanding Purchase Price with respect to the Purchased Receivables payable by any Account Debtor will not exceed the Account Debtor Credit Limit for such Account Debtor;
(vi)no Insolvency Event shall have occurred with respect to any Account Debtor obligated on the Offered Receivables described in such Purchase Request, and no Insolvency Event with respect to any Seller or Servicer shall have occurred;
and
(vii)with respect to the Initial Purchase Date, the conditions precedent set forth in Annex B hereto shall have been satisfied on or prior to the Initial Purchase Date.
(f)Term. This Agreement shall continue in effect from the date hereof until the later of (i) the date on which the Uncommitted Facility has expired or been terminated and (ii) the Final Collection Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any purchase of Receivables hereunder shall be at the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, notwithstanding the term of this Agreement contemplated in this Section 1(f). No termination of this Agreement shall affect those provisions hereof that are expressed or intended to survive termination hereof.
(g)Additional Sellers. The Company may request that any Subsidiary of the Company become an Additional Seller hereunder (a “Proposed Seller”); provided that the following conditions shall be satisfied on or prior to the date of such Proposed Seller becoming an Additional Seller hereunder:
(i)the Company shall have given the Purchaser at least twenty (20) Business Days prior written notice of such proposed addition and the identity of the Proposed Seller and shall have provided such information with respect to the Receivables or business of such Proposed Seller as the Purchaser shall have reasonably requested;
(ii)the Purchaser shall have provided its prior written consent to such Proposed Seller becoming an Additional Seller hereunder;
(iii)such Proposed Seller, each Seller and each Servicer shall have executed and delivered to the Purchaser a Seller Joinder Agreement; and
4 | ||||||||
(iv)such Proposed Seller has delivered to the Purchaser such additional documents and information (including corporate organizational documents, officer’s certificates, corporate resolutions and tax, UCC, lien, judgment and similar searches), opinions of counsel and/or financing statements that the Purchaser shall request at such time (including opinions with respect to general corporate, enforceability, no conflict with law or material agreements, UCC and true sale matters).
(h)Unavailability and/or Replacement of Benchmark.
(i)Each Seller understands and acknowledges that Term SOFR Reference Rate could in the future be discontinued or become the subject of regulatory reform. In the event the Term SOFR Reference Rate cannot be ascertained for the relevant Discount Period in the manner described in the definition of “Term SOFR” hereunder, the Discount Margin shall be the “all-in” rate offered by the Purchaser and accepted by the applicable Seller at the time of the relevant Purchase Request.
(ii)If a Term SOFR Cessation Event has occurred, then the Purchaser and the Sellers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Benchmark Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Credit Spread); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement. Until an alternate rate of interest is determined in accordance with this clause (ii), the Discount Margin shall be the “all-in” rate offered by the Purchaser and accepted by the applicable Seller at the time of the relevant Purchase Request.
(iii)The Purchaser may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definitions herein, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Seller or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any calculation or any error in any such calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
2.Collection and Servicing of Receivables.
(a)Appointment of Servicers. The Purchaser hereby appoints each Seller as its servicer and agent (in such capacity, a “Servicer”) for the administration and servicing of all Purchased Receivables, and each Seller hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to assume the duties and administration and servicing obligations as Servicer, and perform all necessary and appropriate commercial collection activities in arranging the timely payment of amounts due and owing by any Account Debtor all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, including diligently and faithfully performing
5 | ||||||||
all servicing and collection actions (including, if necessary, acting as party of record in foreign jurisdictions); provided, however, that such appointment as Servicer shall not release any Seller from any of its duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations resulting from or arising under the Transaction Documents. In connection with its servicing obligations, each Servicer will, and will ensure that it and each Seller will, perform its respective obligations and exercise its respective rights under the Contracts related to the Purchased Receivables with the same care and applying the same policies as it applies to its own Receivables generally and would exercise and apply if it owned the Purchased Receivables and shall act in the best interest of the Purchaser to maximize Collections. Each Seller shall perform the obligations of Servicer with respect to the Purchased Receivables without compensation other than the payment of the Purchase Price for the Purchased Receivables. No separate fee is expressly provided for herein for payment to any Servicer on account of such Servicer’s services required hereunder, as the services performed by such Servicer hereunder are in partial consideration of the Purchase Price for the Purchased Receivables.
(b)Replacement of Servicers. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event with respect to any Servicer, the Purchaser may at any time thereafter replace such Servicer (which replacement may be made through the outplacement to a Person of all back office duties, including billing, collection and processing responsibilities, and access to all personnel, hardware and software utilized in connection with such responsibilities); provided that the termination of each Servicer shall be automatic in the case of an Insolvency Event with respect to any Servicer. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser for all expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such replacement.
(c)Collection Accounts and Account Debtor Instructions. Each Seller and Servicer hereby agree (i) to instruct each Account Debtor to make all payments made by such Account Debtor on account of Purchased Receivables directly to the applicable Collection Account, and to take any and all actions necessary (including those requested by the Purchaser) to ensure that all Collections on account of the Purchased Receivables are wired directly from each Account Debtor to the applicable Collection Account, without adjustment, setoff or deduction of any kind or nature, and (ii) not to change such payment instructions while any Purchased Receivable remains outstanding without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall cause the Collection Accounts to be at all times subject to the control of the Purchaser pursuant to the Account Control Agreement and to not at any time be subject to any charge, pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, adverse claim or control of or by any third party (other than the Purchaser pursuant to the Account Control Agreement). If any Seller or Servicer receives a misdirected payment of a Receivable from any Account Debtor, such Seller or Servicer will promptly notify the Purchaser and immediately (and in any event within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof) remit the funds to the applicable Collection Account. Until remitted, the applicable Seller or Servicer will hold such funds in trust as the Purchaser’s exclusive property and safeguard such funds for the benefit of the Purchaser.
(d)Purchaser Account. Each Seller and Servicer agree to (i) deposit in the Purchaser Account on each Remittance Date all Collections received by such Seller or Servicer with respect to Purchased Receivables (whether such amounts were
6 | ||||||||
received by Seller or Servicer in a Collection Account, directly or otherwise) up to (and including) the third (3rd) Business Day prior to such Remittance Date, without adjustment, setoff or deduction of any kind or nature and (ii) to take any and all other reasonable actions, including reasonable actions requested by the Purchaser, to ensure that all amounts owing under the Purchased Receivables will be deposited in the Purchaser Account in a timely manner. No Collections shall be deemed received by the Purchaser for purposes of this Agreement until funds are credited to the Purchaser Account as immediately available funds or otherwise actually received by the Purchaser. Prior to being deposited into the Purchaser Account, funds received by a Seller or Servicer in respect of any Purchased Receivables remain, nevertheless, the exclusive property of the Purchaser, and each Seller and Servicer shall be deemed to be holding such funds in trust (and hereby agree to hold such funds in trust) for the exclusive use and benefit of the Purchaser. Neither the Servicer nor any Seller shall, directly or indirectly, utilize such funds for its own purposes, and shall not have any right to pledge such funds as collateral for any obligations of such Servicer or Seller or any other Person.
(e)Reconciliation of Collections. Each Seller and Servicer shall maintain the ability to identify, within three (3) Business Days, any amounts deposited into the Collection Accounts that do not represent payments on account of the Purchased Receivables. Pursuant to its servicing obligations under this Section 2, each Servicer shall be responsible for identifying, matching and reconciling any payments received in the Collection Account, Dilutions and Disputes with the Receivable associated with such payment. On each Remittance Date, each Servicer shall provide to the Purchaser a full reconciliation (a “Reconciliation Report”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, of all such payments deposited into the Collection Account up to (and including) the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of such Reconciliation Report, together with the number of days outstanding of all Purchased Receivables having Collections deposited in the Collection Accounts and adjustments (including Dilution amounts and amounts subject to a Dispute, if any, with respect to the Purchased Receivables).
(f)Disputes, Dilutions and Repurchase Events. Each Seller and Servicer shall promptly provide the Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of any Dispute, Dilution or Repurchase Event with respect to any Purchased Receivable, including reasonable detail with respect thereto, together with such information as the Purchaser reasonably requests with respect thereto.
(g)[Reserved]
(h)Rights of Purchaser. As owner of the Purchased Receivables, the Purchaser shall have no obligation to account for, to replace, to substitute, or to return any Purchased Receivables or Collections thereon to any Seller other than Purchased Receivables for which the Repurchase Price has been paid to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser shall have the sole right to retain any gains or profits created by buying, selling or holding the Purchased Receivables. Each Seller and Servicer hereby acknowledges the right of the Purchaser, as owner of the Purchased Receivables, and, (i) following termination of such Seller as Servicer upon the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event, or (ii) upon non-payment by the applicable Account Debtor on any Purchased Receivables due to an Insolvency Event or financial condition of such Account Debtor, authorizes the Purchaser, its designees and any
7 | ||||||||
successor Servicer, to take any and all steps in such Seller’s or Servicer’s name or on behalf of such Seller or Servicer necessary or desirable, in the Purchaser’s determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Purchased Receivables, including (i) endorsing such Seller’s or Servicer’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections on the Purchased Receivables, (ii) enforcing such Purchased Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment, and (iii) notifying Account Debtors of the Purchaser’s ownership interest and security interest in the Purchased Receivables. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Seller and Servicer agree to facilitate direct contact between such Account Debtor and the Purchaser following termination of such Seller as Servicer upon the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event or upon non-payment by the applicable Account Debtor on any Purchased Receivables due to an Insolvency Event or financial condition of such Account Debtor. Upon the Purchaser’s request, each Servicer will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Purchaser in any of its efforts, in accordance with the rights set forth in this Section 2(h), to enforce or collect upon the Purchased Receivables, including in any insolvency proceeding with respect to any Account Debtor.
(i)Power of Attorney. In accordance with the foregoing (and without limiting any Seller’s or Servicer’s duties under the Transaction Documents), each Seller and Servicer hereby grants to the Purchaser, a power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, and hereby authorizes and empowers the Purchaser in the name of and on behalf of such Seller or Servicer, to take such actions, and execute and deliver such documents, as the Purchaser deems necessary or advisable in connection with the servicing, collection, protection and enforcement of any Purchased Receivable.

7.Indemnification; Taxes; Payments; Expenses.
(a)Indemnification. Each Seller and Servicer hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Purchaser (together with its officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees, each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, the “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from any of the following: (i) the sale to the Purchaser of any Receivable which purports to be a Purchased Receivable as to which the representations and warranties made in any Transaction Document are not true and correct on the Purchase Date therefor (or if such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, as to which such representations and warranties are not true and correct as of such earlier date); (ii) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Seller or Servicer (or any of their respective officers) under or in connection with the Transaction Documents shall have been incorrect when made; (iii) the failure by any Seller or Servicer to perform any of its covenants or other obligations under the Transaction Documents; (iv) the failure by any Seller, any Servicer or any Purchased Receivable to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation; (v) the failure to vest in the Purchaser a perfected security interest or ownership interest (as understood under the UCC or any similar law with respect to the sale and assignment of receivables in any jurisdiction applicable to any Seller) in each Purchased Receivable and the proceeds and Collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any liens, charges, adverse claims, security interests or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever; (vi) any Dispute, Dilution or any other claim resulting from the services or merchandise related to such Purchased Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such services or merchandise or relating to Servicer’s collection activities with respect to each such Purchased Receivable; (vii) the commingling by any Seller or Servicer of Collections at any time with other funds of any Seller, Servicer or any other Person; (viii) any failure by any Servicer to perform its duties or obligations as Servicer in accordance with the Transaction Documents or any claim brought by any Person other than an Indemnified Party arising from any Servicer’s collection activities; (ix) any products liability claim, personal injury or property damage suit, environmental liability claim or any other claim or action by a party of whatever sort, whether in tort, contract or any other legal theory, arising out of or in connection with the goods or services that are the subject of any Purchased Receivable with respect thereto; or (x) any suit, demand, claim or other dispute arising out of each Seller’s and Servicer’s use of the Site in a manner not expressly contemplated under the Transaction Documents or the License Agreement. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the case of any Indemnified Amounts to the extent (A) resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Indemnified Party seeking such indemnification, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (B) an Insolvency Event with respect to the applicable Account Debtor, except as expressly provided in Section 1(d), Section 5 and Section 7, and (C) such
15 | ||||||||
Indemnified Amounts are recovered by the Purchaser through payment of the Repurchase Price.
(b)Tax Indemnification. All payments on the Purchased Receivables from the Account Debtors will be made free and clear of any present or future taxes, withholdings or other deductions whatsoever. Each Seller will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Purchaser for any such taxes, withholdings or deductions as well as any stamp duty or any similar tax or duty on documents or the transfer of title to property arising in the context of the Transaction Documents which has not been paid by a Seller. Further, each Seller shall pay, and indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against, any taxes that may at any time be asserted in respect of the Purchased Receivables (including any sales, occupational, excise, gross receipts, personal property, privilege or license taxes, or withholdings, but not including taxes imposed upon the Purchaser with respect to its overall net income in the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Purchaser is organized) and costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by a Seller under the Transaction Documents or otherwise. If any such taxes are required to be paid, such Seller shall promptly pay such tax and shall promptly send evidence reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser confirming the payment of any such taxes.
(c)Increased Costs. If the Purchaser shall reasonably determine that any Regulatory Change regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Purchaser’s capital or assets or increasing the Purchaser’s amount of required liquidity as a consequence of (i) the Transaction Documents, (ii) any of the Purchaser’s obligations under the Transaction Documents or (iii) the Purchaser’s purchase or the ownership, maintenance or funding of any Purchased Receivables, to a level below that which the Purchaser would have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration the Purchaser’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, the Purchaser may deliver to the Sellers a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Purchaser for such event and, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such certificate, the Sellers shall, jointly and severally, pay to the Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate the Purchaser for such event. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the applicable Seller by the Purchaser shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes as to the calculations therein, absent manifest error.
(d)Regulatory Indemnity. Each Seller will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Purchaser for all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions, suits, demands and liabilities suffered or incurred by or brought against the Purchaser arising out of or relating to any Compliance Action, unless such losses, costs, damages, claims, actions, suits, demands and liabilities are solely and directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Purchaser as determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e)Setoff. Unless the applicable Seller notifies the Purchaser in writing that such Seller desires to pay on the date when due any amounts under the Transaction Documents and such Seller makes such payment to the Purchaser in immediately available funds on the date that such payment is due, such Seller hereby agrees and irrevocably authorizes the Purchaser, without further notice to such Seller, to set-off such amount against any amounts which may be payable at such time by
16 | ||||||||
the Purchaser to any Seller. No notification, act or consent of any nature whatsoever is required for the Purchaser to exercise such right of set-off.
(f)Payments Generally. All amounts payable by any Seller or Servicer to the Purchaser under the Transaction Documents shall be paid in immediately available funds, free and clear of all deductions, set-off or withholdings whatsoever, except as may be required by law, and shall be paid on the date such amount is due by not later than 11:00 a.m. to the Purchaser Account. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, each Seller and Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser such additional amount as necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Purchaser is equal to the full amount the Purchaser should have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. All payments to be made under the Transaction Documents or in respect of a Purchased Receivable shall be paid in Dollars. Any amounts that would fall due for payment on a day other than a Business Day shall be payable on the succeeding Business Day. All amounts due under the Transaction Documents by any Seller or Servicer shall accrue interest at the Discount Margin from the date on which payment thereof is due until paid and, except as otherwise specifically provided for under the Transaction Documents, shall be payable within two (2) Business Days of demand therefor. All interest amounts calculated on a per annum basis under the Transaction Documents are calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days.
(g)Costs and Expenses. Each Seller and Servicer shall, jointly and severally, reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Purchaser incurs in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. In addition, each Seller and Servicer shall reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Purchaser incurs in connection with any amendments to the Transaction Documents, the granting of any waivers thereunder or thereunder and the administration, preservation of rights and enforcement thereof.
(h)Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary (and whether or not any such obligation is specifically stated as being a joint and several obligation of any Servicer or any Seller), each Seller and Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, where any Seller or Servicer has an obligation to perform or fulfill any duty, promise or obligation or otherwise make any repurchase, indemnity, gross up, expense reimbursement or any other payment or obligation under the Transaction Documents, each such Seller or Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will be, in all such cases, jointly and severally obligated with and on behalf of each Seller and Servicer, to pay and/or perform any such amount, obligation or term or provision.
8.Assignments and Participations.
(a)This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no Seller nor Servicer may assign any of its rights under any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.
(b)The Purchaser shall have the right, without the consent of any Seller or Servicer, to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or

any interest in, the Purchaser’s obligations, rights and benefits under any Transaction Document.

(b)Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made under the Transaction Documents shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Purchased Receivables remain outstanding, and each Seller’s and each Servicer’s obligations to indemnify the Purchaser with respect to expenses, damages, losses, costs, liabilities and other obligations (including the obligations arising under Section 7) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(c)Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consequential Claims.

19 | ||||||||
of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereto hereby waive any objection to the contrary.
(g)No Waiver. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Purchaser, any right or remedy under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided under the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law, including under the UCC.
(h)Patriot Act; Compliance Actions.
(i)The Purchaser hereby notifies each Seller and Servicer that pursuant to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Pub.

The Purchaser may make a Seller’s ability to use any replacement Site conditional on such Seller’s execution of a License Agreement for the replacement Site. If a Seller does not wish to accept any amendment, supplement or replacement of the License Agreement, it must notify the Purchaser of such decision before the effective date of such changes and may not use the Site after such effective date.

Upon operation of the Site for its intended purpose, each Seller and the Purchaser agree that the Site will be the exclusive portal for the functions included in the Site, and the Purchaser will no longer support
21 | ||||||||
manual processing of Purchase Requests except during a Site Unavailability Period.
(b)Site Unavailability Period.
(i)During the effectiveness of the Uncommitted Facility, in the event that the Purchaser determines the Site is unavailable for any reason (the “Site Unavailability Period”), each Seller may continue to offer Offered Receivables for purchase by the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section 10(b). Except as expressly provided herein, the Transaction Documents and the terms and conditions set forth therein shall be equally applicable to sales and purchases of Receivables during the Site Unavailability Period utilizing the terms set forth in this Section 10(b) and not fully utilizing the Site in the manner otherwise contemplated in the Transaction Documents.
(ii)During a Site Unavailability Period, each Seller may submit to the Purchaser a written request substantially in the form of Annex D attached hereto (a “Request”) that the Purchaser purchase from such Seller the Offered Receivables described in such Request, and the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept or reject such Request. Such Request shall include all information that would otherwise have been submitted by the applicable Seller to the Purchaser through the Site. Each Request shall constitute a “Purchase Request” for all purposes of the Transaction Documents. The Purchase Price shall be calculated in the Request. The Purchaser shall confirm the acceptance of a purchase and payment of the Purchase Price to the applicable Seller via email.
(iii)During a Site Unavailability Period, communications (including Requests) with respect to the sale and purchase of Receivables and reconciliations of Collections shall be conducted via email communication (including Excel files and PDF file attachments thereto), all in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser. Any changes in Account Debtor Credit Limits, Buffer Days or Credit Spread with respect to a Receivable during the Site Unavailability Period shall be communicated by the Purchaser pursuant to this clause (iii).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10, in no event shall the Purchaser be liable (no matter what the cause of action) for any damages of any kind pursuant to or in connection with any Seller’s use of the Site except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall the Purchaser be liable for any damages of any kind (no matter what the cause of action) that are caused by or result from the use of unsecure electronic mail (by any Seller, any Servicer or the Purchaser), use of the internet or computer viruses, bombs, worms, Trojan horses or other malicious code (no matter who introduces them) except, in each case, to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Purchaser.
11.Appointment of Seller Representative.
Each Seller (in its capacity as Seller and as Servicer) hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as the agent and attorney-in-fact for all Sellers (the “Seller Representative”),
22 | ||||||||
which appointment shall remain in full force and effect until the Seller Representative shall have received prior written notice signed by each Seller (other than the Seller Representative) that such appointment has been revoked and another Seller has been appointed as Seller Representative. The Company hereby accepts such appointment as the Seller Representative. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Seller Representative to: (a) submit Purchase Requests, provide Reconciliation Reports, provide and receive all notices, requests, elections, acknowledgments, agreements and consents hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents and (b) take all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Seller or the Sellers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents which the Seller Representative deems appropriate and to exercise powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each Seller agrees that each notice, request, election, representation and warranty, covenant, acknowledgement, agreement, consent and undertaking made on its behalf by the Seller Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Seller and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Seller to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Seller. It is understood that the appointment of the Seller Representative hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to the Sellers, and the Purchaser shall in no way incur liability to any Seller as a result thereof. Each Seller expects to derive benefit, indirectly or directly, from the appointment of the Seller Representative. Each Seller hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Purchaser against any and all liability, by any third party whatsoever, arising from or incurred by reason of the Purchaser relying on any instructions of the Seller Representative.
