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 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), together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing but excluding the Retained Interests (if any) for such Collateral Obligation.

 

(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 Administrative 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 (i) each Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) each transfer of Effective Date Participation Interests by the Seller to the Purchaser be construed as an absolute sale and/or contribution of such Aggregate 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 Aggregate 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 (and, with respect to the Effective Date Participation Interests, the related participation documentation) 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 (and, with respect to the Effective Date Participation Interests, the participations under the related participation documentation) 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 Aggregate Transferred Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing. The Purchaser and its assignees shall have, with respect to such Aggregate Transferred Assets and other related rights, in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser and its assignees under this Agreement (and, with respect to the Effective Date Participation Interests, the participations under the related participation documentation) 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 Aggregate 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 Aggregate 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 Aggregate Transferred Assets Conveyed by the Seller hereunder (and, with respect to the Effective Date Participation Interests, the related participation documentation) 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 Aggregate Transferred Assets purchased hereunder or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder (and, with respect to the Effective Date Participation Interests, under the related participation documentation). Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, in order to accurately reflect the Conveyances contemplated by this Agreement (and, with respect to the Effective Date Participation Interests, the participations under the related participation documentation), 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 Aggregate 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 Aggregate Transferred Assets. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

 

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 arising out of any breach by the Seller of any of its obligations hereunder or arising as a result of the failure of any representation or warranty of the Seller herein to be true and correct on the date such representation or warranty was made, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts in respect of any Transferred Asset due to such Obligor’s creditworthiness, (b) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor, (c) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, non-payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Asset, (d) any Excluded Taxes and (e) Indemnified Amounts resulting from the performance or non-performance of the Collateral Obligations.

SECTION 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price.

(k)          Ownership; Security Interest.

 

 

i.            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 this Agreement creates a valid and continuing Lien on the Transferred Assets in favor of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which security interest is validly perfected under Article 9 of the UCC, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower; 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; with respect to Transferred Assets that constitute Security Entitlements (A) all of such Security Entitlements have been credited to the Collection Account and the Securities Intermediary has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Collection Account as Financial Assets, (B) all steps necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain Control with respect to the Collection Account have been taken and (C) the Collection Account is not in the name of any Person other than the Purchaser, subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; the Purchaser has not instructed the Securities Intermediary to comply with the entitlement order of any Person other than the Collateral Agent; provided that, until the Collateral Agent delivers a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined in the Account Control Agreement), the Purchaser (or the Investment Manager on its behalf) may cause cash in the Collection Account to be invested in Permitted Investments, and the proceeds thereof to be paid and distributed in accordance with the Loan Agreement; all Accounts constitute Securities Accounts; the Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred Assets purchased by the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens); 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; the Seller has taken all necessary steps to file or authorize 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 Delaware; 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 Collateral Custodian; the Seller has received, or subject to the delivery requirements contained the Loan Agreement will receive, a written acknowledgment from the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent or its bailee is holding each underlying promissory note evidencing a Collateral Obligation solely on behalf of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; 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; with respect to a Transferred Asset that constitutes a Certificated Security, such certificated security has been delivered to the Collateral Agent, as assignee of the Purchaser on behalf of the Secured Parties and, if in registered form, has been specially Indorsed (within the meaning of the UCC) to the Collateral Agent or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been registered in the name of the Collateral Agent upon original issue or registration of transfer by the Seller of such Certificated Security; and in the case of an Uncertificated Security, by (A) causing the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of such uncertificated security and (B) causing such registration to remain effective.

With respect to each Transferred Collateral Obligation sold hereunder, the Seller sold 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.

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)          True Sale. Each Transferred Collateral Obligation sold hereunder shall have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser in a “true sale”.

 

(p)          True and Complete Information. All information heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Seller in writing to any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Transferred Assets, or any transaction contemplated hereby is and will be (when taken as a whole) true, correct and complete in all material respects.

Such financial statements (including the related notes) fairly present the financial condition of the Seller as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations for the periods covered thereby, each in accordance with GAAP.

 

 

(r)           Payment in Full. The Seller had no actual knowledge at the time of Conveyance of a Transferred Asset of any fact which leads it to expect that any payments on such Transferred Asset will not be paid in full when due or to expect any other material adverse effect (excluding any material adverse effect resulting from changes in economic, political, regulatory or financial conditions generally or in the industries in which the Seller or related Obligor operates) on (A) the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (B) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or (C) the Transferred Assets or the interests of the Seller therein.

 

(s)          No Brokers or Finders. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Seller was employed or utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Seller has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees in connection therewith.

 

(t)           Restricted Payments. The Seller shall not cause or permit the Purchaser to make any payments or distributions which would violate Section 10.17 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(u)          Special Purpose Entity. The Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities separate and distinct from those of the Seller and any Affiliates thereof, and the Seller hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement in reliance upon the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller. Therefore, 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 or the Administrative Agent 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.

 

(v)         Transferred Assets. As of each Purchase Date, Schedule A is an accurate and complete listing of all the Transferred Assets hereunder as of such Purchase Date and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Transferred Assets and the amounts owing thereunder is true and correct as of the related Purchase Date.

 

(w)         Set–Off, etc. At the time of Conveyance of a 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 at such time such Transferred Asset is not 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.

 

 

(x)          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.

 

SECTION 4.2 Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties by the Seller; .Notice of Breach. On the Effective Date and on each Purchase Date, the Seller, by accepting the proceeds of such Conveyance, shall be deemed to have certified that all representations and warranties described in Section 4.1 are true and correct on and as of such day as though made on and as of such day. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 shall survive (i) the Conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Purchaser, (ii) the termination of the rights and obligations of the Purchaser and the Seller under this Agreement and (iii) the termination of the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under the Loan Agreement. Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Purchaser or the Seller of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties in any material respect, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other and to the Administrative Agent.
