Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without recourse to the Seller; provided, however, that (i) the Seller shall be liable to each of the Purchasers and the Agents for all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser or Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Seller or any Originator or any other person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Invoices, or any other obligations of the Seller or any Originator.
