Such power, coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.
    (c)         The Seller, in consultation with the Purchaser, shall ensure that all financing statements or similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Purchaser’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets (to the extent that an ownership interest therein can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement and other than the ownership interest in any such Purchased Assets which has been released in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) have been duly filed.

Consideration and Payment

The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and Administrative Agent, (i) cancel or terminate any Receivable or Assigned Agreement, (ii) give any consent, waiver, directive or approval under any Receivable or Assigned Agreement, (iii) waive any default, action, omission or breach under any Receivable or Assigned Agreement, or otherwise grant any indulgence or forbearance thereunder, or (iv) amend, supplement or otherwise modify any of the terms of any Receivable or Assigned Agreement.
    (f)    ERISA. The Seller shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its ERISA Affiliates to, cause or permit to occur an event that could result in the imposition of a Lien under Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 or 4068 of ERISA.
    (g)    Adverse Claims. The Seller shall not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any Purchased Asset or assign any right to receive income in respect thereof except to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.
    (h)    Sale Treatment. The Seller will not account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any manner other than a sale and absolute assignment of the applicable Receivables to the Purchaser constituting a “true sale” for bankruptcy purposes. If a third party, including a potential purchaser of the Purchased Assets, should inquire, the Seller shall promptly indicate that the Purchased Assets have been sold or contributed to the Purchaser and will claim no ownership interest in such assets.
    (i)    Name Changes; Organizational Changes; Offices and Records. The Seller shall not change its legal name, identity, company structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner, unless it shall have given the Purchaser at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof.

-13-


notice to the Purchaser, at such other location in a jurisdiction where all action reasonably requested by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.13 shall have been taken.
    (j)    Capital Structure and Business. The Seller shall not (i) make any changes in any of its business objectives, purposes or operations that result, or that will result, in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) amend its organizational documents in a manner that results, or that will result, in a Material Adverse Effect.
    (k)    Information. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser information and documents related to the Purchased Assets as the Purchaser may reasonably request, promptly upon the Purchaser’s request therefor.
    (l)    The Seller shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of Conveyance under this Agreement of Purchased Assets to the Purchaser and the grant of a security interest in such Purchased Assets by the Purchaser to the Administrative Agent, the Seller’s master computer records (including archives) that shall refer to such a Purchased Asset indicate clearly that such Purchased Asset has been Conveyed to the Purchaser hereunder and pledged by the Purchaser to the Administrative Agent. Indication of the security interest of the Administrative Agent in a Purchased Asset transferred hereunder shall be deleted from or modified on the Seller’s computer systems when, and only when, such Purchased Asset shall be (i) subject to payoff with respect to the underlying Receivable by the related Obligor or (ii) released by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
    (m)    Delivery of Collections. Consistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Purchased Assets, in the event the Seller shall receive any Collections in respect of any Purchased Assets on or after the Transfer Date therefor, the Seller agrees to promptly remit such Collections to the Collection Account (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof).
    (n)    Nonconsolidation. The Seller shall take all actions required to maintain the Purchaser’s status as a separate legal entity, including, without limitation, (i) not holding the Purchaser out to third parties as an entity other than an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from the Seller and the Seller’s other subsidiaries; provided that the assets of the Purchaser may be consolidated into the assets of the Seller for tax and accounting purposes and may be included in the financial statements of the Seller; (ii) not holding itself out to be responsible for any indebtedness or other liability of the Purchaser or, other than by reason of owning equity interests of the Purchaser, for any decisions or actions relating to the Purchaser; (iii) taking such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that all corporate procedures required by its and the Purchaser’s respective Constituent Documents are duly and validly taken; (iv) not acting in any manner that would foreseeably mislead others with respect to the Purchaser’s separate identity and (v) observing and complying with each assumption supporting the nonconsolidation opinion issued by counsel to the Seller and the Purchaser on the date hereof, except where the failure to do so would not prevent counsel to the Seller and the Purchaser, when
-14-


considering such failure, from reaching the same conclusions in its nonconsolidation opinion as when such failure is not considered.
    (o)    Further Assurances. It will promptly, and promptly upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent shall, at the Seller’s expense, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action in order to maintain and protect the Purchaser’s ownership interest (or if the transactions contemplated hereby are deemed not to be a sale, the Purchaser’s perfected security interest) in the Purchased Assets pledged by the Seller hereunder free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), including all further actions which are necessary to (x) enable the Purchaser to enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, and (y) effectuate the intent and purpose of, and to carry out the terms of, the Facility Documents. Without limiting its obligation to maintain and protect the Purchaser’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets, the Seller authorizes the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Purchased Assets in such form and in such offices as are necessary to perfect the ownership interests of the Purchaser under this Agreement under each method of perfection required herein with respect to the Purchased Assets. The Seller will, in connection therewith, deliver such proof of corporate action, incumbency of officers or other documents as are reasonably requested by the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent to evidence appropriate authority of the officers signing or authorizing any such documents, instruments or filings.
    (p)    Costs and Expenses. The Seller shall pay all reasonable, documented costs and disbursements incurred by it in connection with this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder.
    (q)    Access to Records and Documents; Audit Rights. The Seller shall, subject to Section 5.01(d) of the Credit Agreement, permit the Administrative Agent or any of its agents, officers or representatives to enter and attend at its offices during normal office hours for the purposes of monitoring its compliance with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including (A) to the maximum extent permitted by law, to examine, make and take with them copies of all books of account, records and documents (including computerized information) relating to the Purchased Assets and computer printouts of Purchased Assets, records or other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require from time to time and (B) to visit the offices and properties of Seller for the purpose of examining such records, and to discuss matters relating to the Receivables or the Seller’s performance under the Facility Documents with any of the officers or employees of the Seller having knowledge of such matters. Such access and materials shall be provided not more than once in any calendar year unless (i) an Early Amortization Event or Event of Default has occurred but is no longer continuing, in which case such access and materials shall be provided one additional time with respect to each such Early Amortization Event or Event of Default in any such calendar year or (ii) an Event of Default or an Early Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, in which case such access and materials shall be provided at any time upon request. If no Event of Default or Early Amortization Event has occurred, such access and materials
-15-


shall be provided immediately upon request by the Administrative Agent upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Seller if the Administrative Agent or a Lender has formed the opinion that such access and materials are required for the purposes of monitoring compliance with the Facility Documents. Such access and materials shall be provided immediately upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time following an Event of Default or Early Amortization Event, whether or not any such Early Amortization Event has been cured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any audit or inspection rights under this Agreement or any other Facility Document that are at the expense of the Seller shall be capped at $75,000 per annum; provided that such cap shall not apply following the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Early Amortization Event.
Article VI
Repurchase Obligations
    Section 6.1.    Repurchase Obligation. Upon discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller from the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.1(k), the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent. The Seller shall, on the Payment Date immediately following the Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of such breach, either cure such breach or purchase the affected Receivable from the Purchaser at an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of such Receivable plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the date of such repurchase. The Purchaser shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment as reasonably determined by the Seller to give effect to such repurchase, in each case without representation, warranty, or recourse. Each of the parties hereto agrees that this Section 6.1 shall constitute the sole remedy of the Purchaser with respect to any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(k) with respect to any Receivable included in the Purchased Assets hereunder.
Article VII
Indemnities
    Section 7.1.    Indemnities. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, each Secured Party, each Funding Agent and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) for any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, expenses, penalties, actions, suits, judgments and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of outside counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Person, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, administration of or otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or
-16-


thereby (collectively, the “Liabilities”), including, without limitation, any such Liability that is incurred or arises out of or in connection with, or by reason of any one or more of the following:
    (i)    preparation for a defense of any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;
    (ii)    any representation or warranty (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1(k)) made or deemed made by the Seller under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents to which it is a party, which shall have been false when made or deemed made or delivered;
    (iii)    the failure by the Seller to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement or the other Facility Documents to which it is a party, or with any Applicable Law, with respect to any Purchased Assets or the nonconformity of any Purchased Assets with any such Applicable Law;
    (iv)    the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Purchaser a perfected security interest in the Purchased Assets free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) whether existing at the time of sale hereunder or at any time thereafter;
    (v)    any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Purchased Asset (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Purchased Asset Receivable or the related contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms);
    (vi)    any products liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort, arising out of or in connection with any Purchased Asset or any other suit, claim or action of whatever sort relating to any of the Facility Documents;
    (vii)    the commingling of any Collections of Purchased Assets with any other funds except to the extent expressly permitted under the Facility Documents;
    (viii)    the failure by the Seller to pay when due any taxes for which the Seller is liable, including without limitation, sales, excise or personal property taxes payable in connection with the Purchased Assets; and
    (ix)    the Seller’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement;
provided, that the Seller shall not be liable pursuant to this indemnity for any Liabilities suffered by any Indemnified Person (A) arising due to the deterioration in the credit quality or market value of the Purchased Assets to the extent that such credit quality or market value was not misrepresented in any material respect by the Seller or any of its
-17-


Affiliates and such deterioration was not caused by any action of the Seller, (B) arising from the failure of any Obligor to pay amounts due and owing under any Purchased Asset, or (C) to the extent that a court having competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) that such Liability resulted from (i) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or (ii) a material breach of any Facility Document by such Indemnified Person.

Article X

Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No provision of this Agreement or any other Conveyance Document may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in writing signed by Seller and the Purchaser, and with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
    Section 10.2.    Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York in reliance on New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, without giving effect to its choice of law provisions that would result in application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claim to assert that the law of any other jurisdiction governs this Agreement and the other loan documents. Each of the parties hereto waives personal service of process and irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.4.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Purchaser and Seller each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
-19-


to this Agreement in any court referred to in this Section 10.3. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

    Section 10.5.    Severability of Provisions. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

    Section 10.13.    Protection of Ownership Interests of Purchaser. (a) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents (including, without limitation, assignment agreements, title documents, financing statements and endorsements of instruments), and take all actions, that may be necessary, or that the Purchaser may reasonably request, to perfect, protect, defend or more fully evidence the ownership interest of the Purchaser in the Purchased Assets, or to enable the Purchaser to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder (including, without limitation, to enforce any of the Purchased Assets).
    (b)    If the Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under Section 10.13(a), the Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller. The Seller irrevocably authorizes the Purchaser at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Purchaser, and appoints the Purchaser as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of the Seller (i) to execute on behalf of the Seller and to file and record financing statements or any other filings necessary or desirable in the Purchaser’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchaser and its assigns in the Purchased Assets and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Purchased Assets as a financing statement in such offices as the Purchaser in its sole discretion deem necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Purchaser’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file financing statements and other filing or recording documents with respect to the Purchased Assets (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the signature or other authorization of such Seller, in such form and in such offices as the Purchaser reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the ownership interest of the Purchaser in the Purchased Assets. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, file financing statements or other filing or recording documents with respect to the Purchased Assets (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the express prior approval by the Purchaser, consenting to the form and substance of such filing or recording document. The Seller approves, authorizes and ratifies any filings or recordings made by or on behalf of the Purchaser in connection with the perfection of the ownership interests in favor of the Purchaser in the Purchased Assets.
    Section 10.14.    Liability of the Seller. The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically undertaken by the Seller (including its indemnification obligations) and with respect to its representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any Assigned Agreement.
