THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of April 25, 2000 made by and between CENDANT MOBILITY SERVICES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as originator (the “Originator”) and Cendant Mobility Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as buyer (the “Buyer”).

WHEREAS, the Originator wishes to sell Receivables and Related Assets that it now owns and Receivables and Related Assets that it from time to time hereafter will own to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase such Receivables and Related Assets from the Originator from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Buyer intends to transfer the CMSC Purchased Assets, together with additional Receivables and Related Assets that the Buyer from time to time hereafter will own, to Apple Ridge Services Corporation (“ARSC”) from and after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:


ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in Part A of Appendix A. In addition, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the conventions set forth in Parts B, C and D of Appendix A.


ARTICLE II
SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS

Section 2.1    Sale and Purchase.

(a)    Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Buyer agrees to buy, and the Originator agrees to sell, all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the following:


 
1
 
 
(i) all Receivables owned by the Originator at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Closing Date or thereafter created and arising (collectively, the “Originator Receivables”);

(ii)      all Related Property with respect to the Originator Receivables (collectively, the “Originator Related Property”);

(iii)      all CMSC Collections;

(iv)      all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing; and

(v)      all of the right, title and interest, if any, CMSC has in, to or under the CMF Designated Receivables, including all Related Property with respect thereto, rights, if any, to reimbursement of, or interest on, such CMF Designated Receivables and all proceeds thereof;

it being understood and agreed that the Originator does not hereby sell, transfer or convey any of its right, title or interest in any Excluded Assets or Excluded Contracts.

The items listed above in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), whenever and wherever arising, are collectively referred to herein as the “Originator Related Assets.” The Originator Receivables and the Originator Related Assets are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Originator Assets.”

It is the intent of the parties hereto that CMSC not have any right, title, or interest in, to, or under the CMF Designated Receivables or the other property listed in clause (v) above, and such CMF Designated Receivables and other property is included in the property being sold hereunder solely in case it should be determined, contrary to the intent of the parties hereto, that CMSC does have any right, title, or interest in the CMF Designated Receivables or the other property listed in clause (v) above.

As used herein, “CMSC Receivables” means Originator Receivables that are being Purchased or have been Purchased by the Buyer hereunder; “CMSC Related Property” means Originator Related Property that is being Purchased or has been Purchased by the Buyer hereunder; “CMSC Related Assets” means Originator Related Assets that are being Purchased or have been Purchased by the Buyer hereunder; and “CMSC Purchased Assets” means Originator Assets that are being Purchased or have been Purchased by the Buyer hereunder.

Schedule 2.1 sets forth a list of all Relocation Management Agreements subject to this Agreement (each, a “Pool Relocation Management Agreement”) as of the Closing Date. Each new Relocation Management Agreement that is not an Excluded Contract and that is entered into by the Originator during any month shall be added to the Pool Relocation Management Agreements on or after the last day of such month by delivering a written notice in the form of Exhibit 2.1 to the Buyer or its designee, whereupon Schedule 2.1 shall be amended by the Originator to add such new Relocation Management Agreement to the list of Pool Relocation Management Agreements set forth therein. A copy of such Exhibit 2.1 appended to
 

 
2
 

the Receivables Activity Report for such month, upon delivery to the Indenture Trustee, shall be sufficient evidence of inclusion. On or prior to the date of the delivery of any such notice, the Originator shall indicate, or cause to be indicated, in its computer files, books and records that the CMSC Receivables and other CMSC Purchased Assets then existing and thereafter created pursuant to or in connection with each such Pool Relocation Management Agreement are being transferred to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)    Treatment of Certain Receivables and Related Assets. It is expressly understood that (i) each CMSC Receivable sold to the Buyer hereunder, together with all CMSC Related Assets then existing or thereafter created and arising with respect thereto, will thereafter be the property of the Buyer (or its assignees), without the necessity of any further purchase or other action by the Buyer (other than satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein) and (ii) the change of a Receivable’s status from that of Unsold Home Receivable to Unbilled Receivable or from Unbilled Receivable to Billed Receivable shall not be deemed the creation of a new Receivable for any purpose.

Section 2.2    Purchases. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall purchase all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Originator Assets and any property described in clause (v) of Section 2.1(a) existing as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day. On each Business Day thereafter until the Termination Date, the Buyer shall purchase all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Originator Assets and any property described in clause (v) of Section 2.1(a) existing as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day that were not previously purchased by the Buyer hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Insolvency Proceeding is pending with respect to either the Originator or the Buyer prior to the Termination Date, the Originator shall not sell, and the Buyer shall not buy, any Originator Assets hereunder unless and until such Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed or otherwise terminated.

Section 2.3    No Assumption. The sales and Purchases of CMSC Purchased Assets do not constitute and are not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Buyer or its successors and assigns of any obligation of the Originator or any other Person in connection with the CMSC Purchased Assets (other than any such obligations as may arise from the ownership of CMSC Receivables) or under the related Contracts or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including without limitation any obligation to any Obligors or Transferred Employees. None of the Servicer, the Buyer or the Buyer’s assignees shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor, Transferred Employee or other customer or client of the Originator (including without limitation any obligation to perform any of the obligations of the Originator under any Relocation Management Agreement, CMSC Home Purchase Contract, CMSC Related Property or any other agreement), except such obligations as may arise from the ownership of the CMSC Receivables. Except as expressly provided in Section 3.05(k) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, no such obligation or liability to any Obligor, Transferred Employee or other customer or client of the Originator is intended to be assumed by the Servicer or its successors and assigns hereunder or under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

Section 2.4    No Recourse. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale and Purchase of the CMSC Purchased Assets and any interest of CMSC in and to the CMF Designated Receivables and other property described in clause (v) of Section 2.1(a) under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Originator; provided, however, that the Originator shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that such obligations of the Originator will not arise solely on account of the credit-related inability of an Obligor to pay a Receivable).

Section 2.5    True Sales. The Originator and the Buyer intend the transfers of CMSC Purchased Assets hereunder to be true sales by the Originator to the Buyer that are absolute and irrevocable and to provide the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the CMSC Purchased Assets, and neither the Originator nor the Buyer intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Buyer to the Originator, secured by the CMSC Purchased Assets.

Section 2.6    Servicing of CMSC Purchased Assets. Consistent with the Buyer’s ownership of all CMSC Purchased Assets and subject to the terms of the Pool Relocation Management Agreements, as between the parties to this Agreement, the Buyer shall have the sole right to service, administer and collect all CMSC Purchased Assets, to assign such right and to delegate such right to others. In consideration of the Buyer’s purchase of the CMSC Purchased Assets and as more fully set forth in Section 11.12, the Originator hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer intends to assign for the benefit of ARSC and its successors and assigns the rights and interests granted by the Originator to the Buyer hereunder, and agrees to cooperate fully with the Issuer and its successors and assigns in the exercise of such rights.

Section 2.7    Financing Statements. In connection with the transfer described above, the Originator agrees, at its expense, to record and file financing statements (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the CMSC Purchased Assets conveyed by the Originator meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the transfer and assignment of its interest in the CMSC Purchased Assets to the Buyer, and to deliver a file stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to the Buyer as soon as practicable after the Closing Date; provided, however, that prior to recordation pursuant to Section 8.3 or the sale of a CMSC Home to an Ultimate Buyer, record title to such CMSC Home may remain in the name of the related Transferred Employee and no recordation in real estate records of the conveyance pursuant to the related CMSC Home Purchase Contract or CMSC Home Sale Contract shall be made except as otherwise required or permitted under Section 2.01(d)(i) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE III
CALCULATION OF CMF PURCHASE PRICE

Section 3.1    Calculation of the CMF Purchase Price.

(a)    On each Business Day from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Originator shall deliver to the Buyer an accounting (each, a “Daily Originator Report”) with respect to (i) the Purchases of CMSC Purchased Assets to be made on such Business Day and (ii) the CMF Purchase Price to be paid on account of the foregoing as calculated in accordance with this Section 3.1.
 
(b)    With respect to the Purchase of any CMSC Purchased Assets by the Buyer from the Originator pursuant to Article II, (i) on the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay to the Originator a purchase price equal to $654,199,874, and (ii) on any day thereafter, the Buyer shall pay to the Originator a purchase price equal to the fair market value thereof, using a discount rate and expected collection period to be recalculated monthly based on the Buyer’s weighted cost of funds and Average Days Outstanding for the prior month and assuming a reasonable return on the Buyer’s equity (each such purchase price, the “CMF Purchase Price”), and adjusted to reflect such factors as the Originator and the Buyer mutually agree will result in a CMF Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of such CMSC Purchased Assets. The sale of the property described in clause (v) of Section 2.1(a) is in consideration of CMF funding the CMF Designated Receivables or the obligation of the Issuer to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of such CMF Designated Receivables.


ARTICLE IV
PAYMENT OF CMF PURCHASE PRICE
 
Section 4.1    CMF Purchase Price Payments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to the Originator on the Closing Date the CMF Purchase Price for the CMSC Purchased Assets sold on such date, by paying such CMF Purchase Price to the Originator in cash. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to the Originator, on each other Business Day on which any CMSC Purchased Assets are purchased from the Originator by the Buyer pursuant to Article II, the CMF Purchase Price for such CMSC Purchased Assets by paying such CMF Purchase Price to the Originator in cash.
 

Section 4.2    The CMF Subordinated Note. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Originator the CMF Subordinated Note in the form set forth as Exhibit 4.2. Subject to the limitations set forth in the CMF Subordinated Note, the Originator irrevocably agrees to make each advance (each, a “CMF Subordinated Loan”) requested by the Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date for the sole purposes of acquiring CMF Homes pursuant to CMF Home Purchase Contracts (including the making of Equity Payments), making Mortgage Payoffs and Mortgage Payments with respect to CMF Homes and making Seller Adjustments under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. No advance shall be made under the CMF
 

 
5
 

Subordinated Note on any date if the aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder on such date, after giving effect to such advance, would exceed an amount equal to five times the net worth of the Buyer (such maximum amount required to be advanced at any time, the “CMF Subordinated Note Cap”). The CMF Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable as provided in, the CMF Subordinated Note. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall funds borrowed under the CMF Subordinated Note be used for the purpose of paying the CMF Purchase Price for the CMSC Purchased Assets.

Section 4.3    Originator Adjustments.

(a)    With respect to any CMSC Receivable purchased by the Buyer from the Originator, if on any day the Buyer (or its assigns), the Servicer or the Originator determines that (i) such CMSC Receivable (A) was not identified by the Originator in the Daily Originator Report as other than an Eligible Receivable on the Business Day such CMSC Receivable was sold hereunder or (B) was otherwise treated as or represented to be an Eligible Receivable in any Receivables Activity Report, but was not in fact an Eligible Receivable on such date or (ii) any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 6.1(d) or 6.1(k) was not true when made with respect to such CMSC Receivable or the related CMSC Related Assets (each such CMSC Receivable described in clause (i) or clause (ii), a “CMSC Noncomplying Asset”), then the Originator shall pay the aggregate Unpaid Balance of such CMSC Receivables (such payment, a “CMSC Noncomplying Asset Adjustment”) to the Buyer in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

(b)    If on any day the Unpaid Balance of any CMSC Receivable (i) is reduced as a result of any cash discount or any adjustment by the Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator (other than the Buyer, ARSC or the Issuer), (ii) is subject to reduction on account of any offsetting account payable of the Originator to an Obligor or is reduced or cancelled as a result of a set-off in respect of any claim by, or defense or credit of, the related Obligor against the Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator (other than the Buyer, ARSC or the Issuer) (whether such claim, defense or credit arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction) or (iii) is reduced on account of the obligation of the Originator to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund (each of the reductions and cancellations described above in clauses (i) through (iii), an “Originator Dilution Adjustment”), then the Originator shall pay such Originator Dilution Adjustment to the Buyer in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

(c)    On each Business Day, the Originator shall pay to the Buyer, in cash in accordance with Section 4.4, an amount (an “Originator Adjustment”) equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate Originator Dilution Adjustment, if any, for each day from and including the immediately preceding Business Day plus (B) the CMSC Noncomplying Asset Adjustment, if any, for each day from and including the immediately preceding Business Day. The CMSC Receivables that gave rise to any Originator Dilution Adjustment and any related CMSC Related Assets shall remain the property of the Buyer. From and after the day on which any CMSC Noncomplying Asset Adjustment is made, any collections received by the Buyer that are identified as proceeds of the Receivables that gave rise to such CMSC Noncomplying Asset Adjustment and any Related Property with respect to such Receivable shall be promptly returned to the Originator.

Section 4.4    Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid by the Originator to the Buyer hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day when due in United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account specified in writing from time to time by the Buyer or its designee. Payments received by the Buyer after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. If any payment becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Originator shall pay to the Buyer, on demand, interest on all amounts not paid when due hereunder at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All payments made under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.


ARTICLE V
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

Section 5.1    Conditions Precedent to Sales and Purchases. No Purchase of CMSC Purchased Assets shall be made hereunder on any date on which the Buyer does not have sufficient funds available to pay the CMF Purchase Price in cash.

Section 5.2    Conditions Precedent to CMF Subordinated Loans. The Originator’s obligation to make each CMF Subordinated Loan under this Agreement shall be subject to the conditions precedent that on the date of such CMF Subordinated Loan:

(b)        no Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Buyer; and

(c)        after giving effect to such CMF Subordinated Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the CMF Subordinated Note shall not exceed the CMF Subordinated Note Cap.

(iv)    The CMF Purchase Price constitutes reasonably equivalent value for the CMSC Purchased Assets conveyed in consideration therefor on such date, and no purchase of an interest in such CMSC Purchased Assets by the Buyer from the Originator constitutes a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under the United States Bankruptcy Code or applicable state bankruptcy or insolvency laws or is otherwise void or voidable or subject to subordination under similar laws or principles or for any other reason.

(l)    Eligible Receivables. Each CMSC Receivable included in the CMSC Purchased Assets transferred hereunder on such date, unless otherwise identified to the Buyer and its assignees by the Originator in the related Daily Originator Report, is an Eligible Receivable on such date.

(m)    Accuracy of Information. All written information furnished by the Originator to the Buyer or its successors and assigns pursuant to or in connection with any Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated herein or therein with respect to the CMSC Purchased Assets transferred hereunder on such date is true and correct in all material respects on such date.

(n)    Offices. The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Originator is located, and the offices where the Originator keeps all CMSC Records (and all original documents relating thereto) are located, at the addresses specified in Schedule 6.1(n), except that (i) Home Deeds and related documents necessary to close CMSC Home sale transactions, including powers of attorney, may be held by local attorneys or escrow agents acting on behalf of the Originator in connection with the sale of CMSC Homes to Ultimate Buyers, so long as such local attorneys are notified of the interest of the Buyer and the Buyer’s assignees therein and (ii) CMSC Records relating to any Pool Relocation Management Agreement and the Receivables arising thereunder or in connection therewith may be maintained at the offices of the related Employer.

(q)    Accounting for Certain Assets. (i) If the CMSC Receivables sold on such date hereunder had not been sold to the Buyer hereunder, and if interests therein had not been transferred by the Buyer in accordance with the Transaction Documents, all CMSC Receivables would have been and at all times would be represented in the financial statements and records of the Originator as accounts receivable or amounts owed from Obligors in accordance with GAAP consistently applied by the Originator and (ii) in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, upon the sale of any CMSC Home to an Ultimate Buyer, any such obligation relating to any Equity Payment, Mortgage Payoff or Mortgage Payment with respect to such CMSC Home would be reduced by the amount of the cash proceeds of the sale of such CMSC Home (in some cases, net of certain Direct Expenses relating to such CMSC Home).

(r)    ERISA. Each Plan is in compliance with all applicable material provisions of ERISA, and the Originator or the relevant ERISA Affiliate has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service that each Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified. No Plan has incurred an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived. Neither the Originator nor any ERISA Affiliate (i) has incurred or expects to incur any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan that could give rise to a lien in favor of the PBGC other than liability for the payment of premiums, all of which have been timely paid when due in accordance with Section 4007 of ERISA, (ii) has incurred or expects to incur any withdrawal liability within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA, (iii) is subject to any lien under Section 412(n) of the Code or Sections 302(f) or 4068 of ERISA or arising out of any action brought under Sections 4070 or 4301 of ERISA or (iv) is required to provide security to a Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(t)    Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Originator is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of all Governmental Authorities (federal, state, local or foreign, including without limitation Environmental Laws), a violation of any of which, individually or in the aggregate for all such violations, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u)    Credit and Collection Policy. The copy of the Credit and Collection Policy of the Originator attached as Exhibit 6.1(u) to this Agreement is a true and complete copy thereof. As of the date each CMSC Purchased Asset is transferred hereunder, the Originator has complied in all applicable material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with respect to such CMSC Purchased Asset transferred on such date and the related Contract. There has been
 

 
12
 

no change to the Credit and Collection Policy that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the collectibility of any material portion of the CMSC Receivables or other CMSC Purchased Assets or to decrease the credit quality of any newly created CMSC Receivables or other CMSC Purchased Assets.

(v)    Environmental. On such date, to the best knowledge of the Originator, (i) there are no (A) pending or threatened claims, complaints, notices or requests for information received by the Originator with respect to any alleged violation of any Environmental Law in connection with any CMSC Home relating to any CMSC Receivable transferred hereunder on such date or (B) pending or threatened claims, complaints, notices or requests for information received by the Originator regarding potential liability under any Environmental Law in connection with any CMSC Home relating to any CMSC Receivable transferred hereunder on such date and (ii) the Originator is in material compliance with all permits, certificates, approvals, licenses and other authorizations relating to environmental matters, if any, that are required to be held by it under applicable law in connection with any CMSC Homes relating to any CMSC Receivable transferred hereunder on such date, other than those that, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), singly or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(w)    Pool Relocation Management Agreements. The Pool Relocation Management Agreements include all Relocation Management Agreements to which the Originator is a party except for Excluded Contracts.

(x)    Indebtedness for Borrowed Money. As of the Closing Date, the Originator has no Indebtedness for Borrowed Money.

Section 6.2    Representations and Warranties of the Buyer. The Buyer hereby represents and warrants, on and as of the date hereof and on and as of the Closing Date, that (a) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Buyer and constitutes the Buyer’s valid, binding and legally enforceable obligation, except (i) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not violate any federal, state, local or foreign law applicable to the Buyer or any agreement to which the Buyer is a party and (c) all of the outstanding capital stock of the Buyer is directly or indirectly owned by the Originator, and all such capital stock is fully paid and nonassessable.

The Originator will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, judgments, decrees and orders (including without limitation those relating to the CMSC Receivables, CMSC Home Purchase Contracts, CMSC Related Assets and all Environmental Laws affecting any CMSC Home), in each case to the extent that any such failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)    Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Originator will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including without limitation an ability to recreate records evidencing the CMSC Purchased Assets in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof) and will keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information that are necessary or advisable, in the reasonable determination of the Buyer, for the collection of all amounts due under any or all CMSC Purchased Assets. Upon the reasonable request of the Buyer or its assignees made at any time after the occurrence and continuance of an Unmatured Servicer Default or a Servicer Default, the Originator will deliver copies of all CMSC Records maintained pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) to the Buyer or its designee. The Originator will maintain at all times accurate and complete books, records and accounts relating to the CMSC Purchased Assets and all CMSC Collections, in which timely entries will be made.

(d)    Location of Records and Offices.

14
 

(e)    Separate Corporate Existence of the Buyer. The Originator hereby acknowledges that the parties to the Transaction Documents are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in reliance on the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity separate from the Originator and the other CMS Persons. From and after the date hereof until the Final Payout Date, the Originator will, and will cause each other CMS Person to, take such actions on the part of the Originator or such CMS Person as shall be required in order that:

(i)    The Buyer’s operating expenses will not be paid by any CMS Person, except that certain organizational expenses of the Buyer and expenses relating to creation and initial implementation of the Transaction Documents have been or will be paid by the Originator;

(ii)    Any financial statements of any CMS Person that are consolidated to include the Buyer will contain appropriate footnotes clearly stating that (A) all of the Buyer’s assets are owned by the Buyer and (B) the Buyer is a separate corporate entity with its own separate creditors that will be entitled to be satisfied out of the Buyer’s assets prior to any value in the Buyer becoming available to the Buyer’s equity holders;

(iii)    Any transaction between the Buyer and a CMS Person will be fair and equitable to the Buyer, will be the type of transaction that would be entered into by a prudent Person in the position of the Buyer with a CMS Person and will be on terms that are at least as favorable as may be obtained from a Person that is not a CMS Person; and

(iv)    No CMS Person will be, or will hold itself out to be, responsible for the debts of the Buyer.

(f)    Payment Instruction to Obligors. The Originator will (i) instruct all Obligors to submit all payments on the CMSC Purchased Assets either (A) to one of the Lockboxes maintained at the Lockbox Banks for deposit in a Lockbox Account or (B) directly to one of the Lockbox Accounts and (ii) instruct all Persons receiving Home Sale Proceeds to deposit such Home Sale Proceeds in one of the Lockboxes or Lockbox Accounts within two Business Days after such receipt, except to the extent a longer escrow period is required under applicable law, in which case such Home Sale Proceeds will be deposited into one of the Lockboxes or Lockbox Accounts within one Business Day after the expiration of such period. The Originator will direct all Obligors with respect to receivables and related assets that are not CMSC Receivables or CMF Receivables to deposit all collections in respect of such receivables and related assets in an account that is not a Lockbox or Lockbox Account and will take such other steps as the Buyer reasonably may request to ensure that all collections on such receivables and related assets will be segregated from CMSC Collections and CMF Collections.

(g)    Segregation of Collections. The Originator will use reasonable efforts to minimize the deposit of any funds other than CMSC Collections or CMF Collections into any of the Lockbox Accounts and, to the extent that any such funds are deposited into any of such Lockbox Accounts, promptly will identify any such funds or will cause such funds to be so
 

 
15
 

identified to the Servicer, it being understood and agreed that the Originator does not hereby assume any affirmative duty to re-direct Obligors to remit funds to alternate locations.

(h)    Identification of Eligible Receivables. The Originator will (i) establish and maintain necessary procedures for determining, no less frequently than each date on which a Daily Originator Report is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a), whether each CMSC Receivable qualifies as an Eligible Receivable, and for identifying on any such date all CMSC Receivables to be sold to the Buyer on that date that are not Eligible Receivables and (ii) will provide to the Servicer in a timely manner information that shows whether, and to what extent, the CMSC Receivables described in such Daily Originator Report are Eligible Receivables.

(i)    Payment of Taxes. The Originator will file (or there will be filed on its behalf as a member of a consolidated group) all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges thereby shown to be owing by it, except for any such taxes, assessments or charges (i) that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on its books and that have not given rise to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or (ii) the amount of which, either singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j)    Accounting for Certain Assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law and GAAP, the Originator will (i) prepare all financial statements that account for the transactions contemplated hereby as a sale of the CMSC Purchased Assets by the Originator to the Buyer and, in all other respects, will account for and treat the transactions contemplated hereby (including but not limited to accounting and (to the extent taxes are not consolidated) for tax reporting purposes) as a sale of the CMSC Purchased Assets by the Originator to the Buyer and (ii) maintain and prepare its financial statements and records in accordance with GAAP, applied in accordance with the representation contained in Section 6.1(q).

(k)    Receivables Reviews. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Originator will permit the Buyer or its assignees (or other Persons designated by the Buyer from time to time) or their agents or representatives (including without limitation certified public accountants or other auditors), at the expense of the Originator and during regular business hours, (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from, and to conduct accounting reviews of, all CMSC Records in the possession or under the control of the Originator, including without limitation the related Contracts, invoices and other documents related thereto and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of the Originator for the purpose of examining any materials described in the preceding clause (i) and to discuss matters relating to the CMSC Receivables or the other CMSC Purchased Assets or the performance by the Originator of its obligations under any Transaction Document to which it is a party with any Authorized Officers of the Originator having knowledge of such matters or with the Originator’s certified public accountants or other auditors; provided, however, that all such reviews will occur no more frequently than twice per year (with only the first such review in any year being at the Originator’s expense) unless (i) CMSC is the Servicer and a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the Buyer or its successor or assignee has given advance written notice to the Originator that it believes the composition and/or performance of
 

 
16
 

the CMSC Purchased Assets have deteriorated in a manner materially adverse to the interests of the Buyer or its assignees.

(l)    Computer Software, Hardware and Services. The Originator will provide the Buyer and its assignees with such licenses, sublicenses and/or assignments of contracts as the Servicer, the Buyer or the Buyer’s assignees require with respect to all services and computer hardware or software that relate to the servicing of the CMSC Receivables or the other CMSC Purchased Assets; provided, however, that with respect to any computer software licensed from a third party, the Originator will be required to provide such licenses, sublicenses and/or assignments of such software only to the extent that provision of the same would not violate the terms of any contracts of the Originator with such third party.

(m)    Environmental Claims. The Originator will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cure and have dismissed with prejudice to the satisfaction of the Buyer any actions and any proceedings relating to compliance with Environmental Laws relating to any CMSC Home, but only to the extent that the conditions that gave rise to such proceedings were in existence as of the date on which the Buyer acquired the related CMSC Receivable.

(n)    Turnover of Collections. If the Originator or any of its agents or representatives at any time receives any cash, checks or other instruments constituting CMSC Collections or CMF Collections, such recipient will segregate and hold such payments in trust for, and in a manner acceptable to, the Servicer and will, promptly upon receipt (and in any event within one Business Day following receipt) remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to a Lockbox Account.

(o)    Performance and Compliance by Originator with Relocation Management Agreements. The Originator will, at its expense, timely and fully perform and comply with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Pool Relocation Management Agreements, the CMSC Home Purchase Contracts and other Contracts related to the CMSC Purchased Assets.

(p)    Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. The Originator will comply in all applicable material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with respect to each CMSC Purchased Asset and will not take any action in violation of the Credit and Collection Policy with respect to any other ARSC Purchased Asset.

(b)    the failure by the Originator to comply with any material applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to the Originator with respect to any CMSC Purchased Asset or any failure of a CMSC Purchased Asset to comply with any such law, rule or regulation as of the date of sale of such CMSC Purchased Asset hereunder;

(c)    the failure to vest and maintain in the Buyer a valid ownership interest in the CMSC Purchased Assets, free and clear of any Lien arising through the Originator or anyone claiming through or under the Originator (including without limitation any such failure arising from a circumstance described in the definition of Permitted Exceptions);

(f)    the failure by the Originator to pay when due any taxes owing by it (including sales, excise or property taxes) payable in connection with the CMSC Purchased Assets, other than any such taxes, assessments or charges that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on its books and that have not given rise to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens);

(g)    any reduction in the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable included in the ARSC Purchased Assets as a result of (i) any cash discount or any adjustment by the Originator, (ii) any offsetting account payable of the Originator to an Obligor, (iii) a set-off in respect of any claim by, or defense or credit of, the related Obligor against the Originator (whether such claim, defense or credit arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction) or (iv) the obligation of the Originator to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund;

If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 10.1 is unavailable to an CMSC Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an CMSC Indemnified Party harmless, then the Originator shall contribute to the maximum amount payable or paid to such CMSC Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such CMSC Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Originator on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such CMSC Indemnified Party and the Originator, and any other relevant equitable considerations.

Attached hereto is a list of Pool Relocation Management Agreements that were executed during [Month/Year].

Very truly yours,

EXHIBIT 4.2
to
PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Dated as of April 25, 2000

FORM OF CMF SUBORDINATED NOTE


April 25, 2000


1.    Note. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CENDANT MOBILITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of CENDANT MOBILITY SERVICES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Originator”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the day following the Final Payout Date, the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all “CMF Subordinated Loans” made from time to time by the Originator to the Buyer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Purchase Agreement dated as of April 25, 2000, between the Originator and the Buyer (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). Reference to Sections 4.2 and 5.2 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. No advance shall be made hereunder on any date if the aggregate principal amount outstanding hereunder on such date after giving effect to such advance, plus the aggregate amount then outstanding under the Notes, would exceed an amount equal to five times the net worth of CMF. Proceeds of amounts advanced hereunder shall not be used for any purpose except to purchase CMF Homes (including the making of Equity Payments), to make Mortgage Payments and Mortgage Payoffs with respect to CMF Homes and to pay Seller Adjustments.

2.    Interest. The Buyer further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25%; provided, however, that if the Buyer defaults in the payment of any principal hereof, the Buyer promises to pay, on demand, interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.00% per annum on any such unpaid amounts, accrued with respect to each Interest Period from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. LIBOR shall be determined on each LIBOR Determination Date on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates quoted by the four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Paying Agent to the Paying Agent as the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by such banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a one-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest shall accrue at a rate equal to 8.46% per annum during the first Interest Period. Interest shall be payable on the
 

 
  E-4.2-1   
 

Distribution Date in each month in arrears. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this CMF Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the day after the Final Payout Date, and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

LIBOR Determination Date means the second London Business Day prior to the commencement of the second and each subsequent Interest Period. A London Business Day is any Business Day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market and banking institutions in London are not authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close. An Interest Period is the period beginning on and including the Distribution Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date and ending on and excluding such Distribution Date; provided that the first Interest Period shall begin on and include April 25, 2000 and end on and exclude June 15, 2000. A Distribution Date means June 15, 2000 and the fifteenth day of each calendar month thereafter, or if such fifteenth day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day.

3.    Principal Payments. The Originator is authorized and directed by the Buyer to enter in its books and records the date and amount of each loan made by it that is evidenced by this CMF Subordinated Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Buyer and, absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of the Originator to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of the Buyer hereunder.

4.    Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this CMF Subordinated Note is subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Buyer’s recourse obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Buyer’s successors and assigns and/or any of their respective assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Until the date after the Final Payout Date on which all advances outstanding under the Receivables Purchase Agreement have been repaid in full and all other obligations of the Buyer thereunder (all such obligations, collectively, the “Senior Claims”) have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, the Originator shall not demand, accelerate, xxx for, take, receive or accept from the Buyer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner (including without limitation from or by way of collateral) any payment or security of all or any of the indebtedness under this CMF Subordinated Note or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same; provided, however, that (i) the Originator hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Buyer any Insolvency Proceeding unless and until a period of one year and one day has elapsed after the Final Payout Date and (ii) nothing in this paragraph shall restrict the Buyer from paying, or the Originator from requesting, any payments under this CMF Subordinated Note so long as the Buyer is not required under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to set aside the funds used for such payments for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, any of the Senior Claimants; and provided, further, that the making of such payment would not otherwise violate the terms and provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by the Originator in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the
 

 
   E-4.2-2  
 

property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

5.    Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Proceeding involving the Buyer as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (whether or not any or all of such amount is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before the Originator is entitled to receive payment on account of this CMF Subordinated Note and, to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of the Buyer of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property in any applicable Insolvency Proceeding which would otherwise be payable to, or deliverable upon or with respect to, any or all indebtedness under this CMF Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.

6.    GOVERNING LAW. THIS CMF SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS CMF SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS CMF SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS CMF SUBORDINATED NOTE.

7.    Waivers. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor. Originator additionally expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by any Senior Claimant of the subordination and other provisions of this CMF Subordinated Note and expressly waives reliance by any Senior Claimant upon the subordination and other provisions herein provided.

8.    Assignment. Prior to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article IV thereof, this CMF Subordinated Note may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred to any party other than Originator except in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
