Section 2.01 Sale, Transfer and Assignment.
(a) Transfer from the Seller to the Buyer on the Closing Date. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the conditions to purchase set forth in Article III), on the Closing Date (or, in the case of each Closing Date Participation Interest, the Elevation Date), the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer and the Buyer hereby purchases and takes from the Seller all right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located) of the Seller (including all obligations of the Seller as lender to fund any Revolving Collateral Obligation or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation conveyed by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder which obligations the Buyer hereby assumes) in the property identified in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section 2.01(a) and all accounts, cash and currency, chattel paper, tangible chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, copyrights, copyright licenses, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles, instruments, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, accessions, proceeds and other property consisting of, arising out of, or related to any of the following (in each case excluding the Excluded Amounts) (collectively, together with any of the following relating to any Collateral Obligation conveyed pursuant to Section 2.01(b) below, the “Collateral”):
(i) the Collateral Obligations (including the Closing Date Participation Interests and any Income Collections thereon) listed on the Loan List delivered on the Closing Date by the Seller to the Buyer (as set forth on Schedule 1), and all monies due, to become due or paid in respect of such Collateral Obligations on and after the related Purchase Date, including but not limited to all collections on such Collateral Obligations and other recoveries thereon, in each case as they arise after the related Purchase Date;

(iii) all Related Contracts with respect to the Collateral Obligations referred to in clause (i) above;
-6-
(iv) all collateral security granted under any Related Contracts; and
(v) all income and proceeds of the foregoing.
(b) Closing Date Participation Interests. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that certain of the Collateral Obligations being transferred hereunder from the Seller to the Buyer are not expected to settle on the Closing Date. Therefore, in order to grant the economic benefits associated with such Collateral Obligations to the Buyer on the Closing Date, (i) the Seller agrees to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Buyer, without recourse except to the extent specifically provided herein, and the Buyer agrees to purchase from the Seller, a 100% undivided participation interest in the Seller’s (and, with respect to the Collateral Obligations held by the Financing Subsidiary on the Closing Date, the Financing Subsidiary’s) interests in each Collateral Obligation listed on Schedule 1 and identified as a “participation” (each such Collateral Obligation, a “Closing Date Participation Interest”), which interest shall be understood to include all the Seller’s (and, with respect to the Collateral Obligations held by the Financing Subsidiary on the Closing Date, the Financing Subsidiary’s) right, title, benefit and interest in and to any interest accruing from and after the Closing Date, any payments, proceeds or other period distributions to the extent provided in Section 2.04 (the “Income Collections”), the legal title to which is held by the Seller (or, with respect to the Collateral Obligations held by the Financing Subsidiary on the Closing Date, the Financing Subsidiary), and (ii) the Buyer hereby acquires the Closing Date Participation Interests and assumes and agrees to perform and comply with all assumed obligations of the Seller with respect thereto. The parties hereby agree to treat the transfer of the Closing Date Participation Interests by the Seller to the Buyer as a sale and purchase on all of their respective relevant books and records. For administrative convenience, the Closing Date Participation Interests held by the Financing Subsidiary on the Closing Date will be transferred directly from the Financing Subsidiary to the Buyer, but such Closing Date Participations shall be deemed to have been distributed (through an intermediate entity) by the Financing Subsidiary to the Seller and sold by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder.
(c) Transfer from the Seller to the Buyer on each Purchase Date after the Closing Date. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the conditions to purchase set forth in Article III), on each Purchase Date occurring after the Closing Date, with respect to the items of Collateral conveyed on such Purchase Date by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder, the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases and takes from the Seller all right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located) of the Seller (including all obligations of the Seller as lender to fund any Revolving Collateral Obligation or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation conveyed by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder which obligations the Buyer hereby assumes) in such Collateral.
(d) From and after each Purchase Date, the Collateral listed on the relevant Loan List shall be deemed to be Collateral hereunder.
(e) On any Purchase Date with respect to the Collateral to be acquired by the Buyer on that date, the Seller shall be deemed to, and hereby does, certify to the Buyer and to the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as of such Purchase Date, that each of the representations and warranties in Section 4.02 is true and correct in all material respects as of such Purchase Date.
-7-
(f) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale and purchase of Collateral under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Seller; it being understood that the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations and warranties made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of which obligations are limited so as not to constitute recourse to the Seller for the credit risk of the Obligors.
(g) In connection with each Purchase of Collateral from the Seller to the Buyer on and after the Closing Date as contemplated by this Agreement, the Buyer hereby directs the Seller to, and the Seller agrees that it will, Deliver in accordance with the Indenture, or cause to be Delivered in accordance with the Indenture (on behalf of the Buyer), to the Custodian or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, each Collateral Obligation being transferred to the Buyer on such Purchase Date in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.
(h) The Seller shall take such action requested by the Buyer, from time-to-time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Buyer has an enforceable ownership interest and its assigns under the Indenture have an enforceable and perfected security interest in the Collateral purchased by the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement.
(i) In connection with the Purchase by the Buyer of the Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) with respect to the Collateral Purchased on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement, the Seller agrees that it will, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on and after the Closing Date that such Collateral has been purchased by the Buyer and (ii) with respect to the Collateral purchased on and after the Closing Date from the Seller to the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, the Seller agrees that it will, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on and after each such Purchase that such Collateral has been purchased by the Buyer and in each case under clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 2.01(i), the Seller agrees that it will indicate clearly and unambiguously on and after the related Purchase Date in its financial statements that such Collateral is owned by the Buyer and is not available to pay creditors of the Seller.
(j) The Seller agrees to deliver to the Buyer (with a copy to the Custodian and the Collateral Trustee) on or before the Closing Date and to the Buyer (with a copy to the Custodian and the Collateral Trustee) on or before each Purchase Date after the Closing Date a computer file containing a true, complete and correct Loan List (which shall contain the related Principal Balance, outstanding principal balance, loan number and Obligor name for each Collateral Obligation) as of the Closing Date or related Purchase Date, as applicable. Such file or list shall be marked as Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, as applicable, to this Agreement, shall be delivered to the Buyer (with a copy to the Custodian and the Collateral Trustee) as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, as such Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 may be supplemented and amended from time to time. In addition, with respect to each Collateral Obligation sold by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder after the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer (with a copy to the Custodian and the Collateral Trustee) an assignment of such Collateral Obligation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
-8-
(k) In a series of contemporaneous transactions on the Closing Date (i) the Financing Subsidiary shall, subject to the terms of the applicable credit facility, sell and/or distribute the Closing Date Participation Interests owned by the Financing Subsidiary to the Seller (with respect to any distribution, in its capacity as sole member of the Financing Subsidiary), (ii) the Seller shall transfer the Collateral Obligations (as set forth on Schedule 1) to the Buyer and (iii) as consideration for its acquisition of the Collateral Obligations listed on Schedule 1 from the Seller, the Buyer shall convey to the Seller all of the Subordinated Notes and the net proceeds from the issuance of the other classes of Secured Debt.
(l) For administrative convenience, (i) Collateral Obligations (including certain of the Closing Date Participation Interests) being transferred first from the Financing Subsidiary to the Seller and second from the Seller to the Buyer may settle directly from the Financing Subsidiary to the Buyer, (ii) Collateral Obligations being acquired by the Seller from any seller and then sold first by such seller to the Seller and second by the Seller to the Buyer, may settle directly from such seller to the Buyer and (iii) any of the steps or transfers of cash or assets described in this clause (l) that take place on the same day may be made on a net basis (any amounts owing by one party may be offset by amounts owed to such party, and vice versa).
(m) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyance of all right, title and interest in and to the Collateral to the Buyer by the Seller as provided in this Section 2.01 is intended and shall, in each and every case, constitute an absolute sale, assignment, conveyance and transfer of ownership of such Collateral conveying good title, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) and that the Collateral shall not be part of the Seller’s bankruptcy estate in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to the Seller. Furthermore, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Collateral Obligations and the other Collateral to the Buyer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.
(n) If, however, notwithstanding the intention of the parties set forth in Section 2.01(m), any of the conveyances provided for in this Section 2.01 by the Seller are determined to be a transfer to secure indebtedness, then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC. With respect to the Collateral related to Schedule 1 hereunder, (A) the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer, as the case may be, a duly perfected, first priority “security interest” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of its right, title and interest in and to such Collateral, now existing and hereafter created, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Collateral, (B) the Buyer shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law with respect thereto, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and (C) the Seller authorizes the Buyer and, so long as the Payment in Full Date has not occurred, the Seller authorizes the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties, subject to the terms of Section 7.5 of the Indenture, to file UCC financing statements and amendments, as necessary, naming the Seller as “debtor,” the Buyer as “assignor secured party” and the Collateral Trustee as “assignee secured party” or similar applicable designations, each describing such Collateral, in each jurisdiction that the Buyer deems necessary in order to protect the security interests in the Collateral granted under this Section 2.01(n).
-9-
(o) The Seller and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the conveyance of the Closing Date Participation Interests is being effectuated pursuant to this Agreement instead of an assignment of the Seller’s (and, with respect to the Collateral Obligations held by the Financing Subsidiary on the Closing Date, the Financing Subsidiary’s) legal interest in and title to each of the Closing Date Participation Interests (the transfer of which to the Buyer will not be effective until the individual assignments of each Closing Date Participation Interest become effective) because the conditions precedent under the related Underlying Documents to the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Seller’s (and, with respect to the Collateral Obligations held by the Financing Subsidiary on the Closing Date, the Financing Subsidiary’s) legal interest in and title to the Closing Date Participation Interests may otherwise not be fully satisfied as of the Closing Date and (ii) the conveyance of the Closing Date Participation Interests hereunder shall have the consequence that the Seller does not have an equitable interest in the Closing Date Participation Interests and the Buyer holds 100% of the equitable interest in the Closing Date Participation Interests. The Buyer has prepared individual assignments consistent with the requirements of the related Underlying Documents and provided them to the Persons required under such Underlying Documents, which assignments will become effective in accordance with such Underlying Documents upon obtaining certain consents thereto or upon the passage of time or both. Upon receipt by the Seller or the Buyer of the effective assignment of any Closing Date Participation Interest participated pursuant to this Section 2.01, the Seller, for value received, hereby sells to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases from the Seller, all of the Seller’s (and, with respect to the Collateral Obligations held by the Financing Subsidiary on the Closing Date, the Financing Subsidiary’s), right, title and interest in, to and under such Closing Date Participation Interest.
Section 2.02 Purchase Price.
The purchase price for each Collateral Obligation sold pursuant to this Agreement shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair market value thereof as determined by the Seller and/or the Buyer, as applicable, and shall be on terms no less favorable to the buyer than such buyer would then obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a person that is not an Affiliate (in each case, the “Purchase Price”).
Section 2.03 Payment of Purchase Price.
(a) The Purchase Price for any Collateral related to Schedule 1 acquired by the Buyer from the Seller (including the Closing Date Participation Interests) on the Closing Date shall be paid by a combination of cash and the issuance of the Subordinated Notes by the Buyer to the Seller and by transfer of cash from the Buyer to the Seller. With respect to any Purchase Date after the Closing Date, to the extent the value of the Collateral transferred by the Seller to the Buyer exceeds the value of the cash received by the Seller for such assets, such excess shall be deemed to constitute a capital contribution from the Seller to the Buyer. The Purchase Price for any Collateral acquired by the Buyer from the Seller on any Purchase Date after the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid in a combination of (i) immediately available funds in cash and (ii) if the Buyer does not have sufficient funds in cash to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price, by means of a capital contribution by the Seller to the Buyer.
-10-
(b) The Purchase Price for any Collateral purchased by the Buyer to be settled directly with a subsidiary of the Seller on any Purchase Date after the Closing Date shall be paid in immediately available funds, which may comprise, if the Buyer does not have sufficient funds in cash to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price, amounts contributed by the Seller to the Buyer.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on any Purchase Date occurring after the Closing Date elect to designate all or a portion of the Collateral proposed to be transferred to the Buyer on such date as a capital contribution to the Buyer. In such event, the cash portion of the Purchase Price payable with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price of the Collateral that was so contributed; provided that Collateral contributed to the Buyer as capital shall constitute Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement.
(d) The Seller, in connection with each Purchase hereunder relating to any Collateral, shall be deemed to have certified, and hereby does certify, with respect to the Collateral to be purchased by the Buyer on such day, that its representations and warranties contained in Article IV are true and correct on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day.
(e) Upon the payment of the Purchase Price for any Purchase, title to the Collateral included in such Purchase shall vest in the case of Collateral related to Schedule 1 in the Buyer as provided herein, whether or not the conditions precedent to such Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained herein were in fact satisfied; provided that the Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement for the failure by the Seller in fact to satisfy any such condition precedent, covenant or agreement.
(f) Collateral Obligations may be purchased or acquired from time to time by the Buyer from the Seller or any of its Affiliates hereunder only if (i) the terms and conditions thereof are no less favorable to the Buyer than the terms it would obtain in a comparable, timely purchase or acquisition with a non-Affiliate and (ii) the transactions are effected in accordance with all applicable laws.
Section 2.04 Income Collections on Closing Date Participation Interests.
(a) With respect to each Closing Date Participation Interest, the Buyer shall acquire all rights to Income Collections that, as of the Closing Date, are accrued but unpaid with respect to the period from and after the Closing Date.
(b) If at any time after the Closing Date the Seller receives any Income Collections, the Seller shall deliver such Income Collections promptly to the Buyer.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller and the Financing Subsidiary agree (i) until the Elevation of each Closing Date Participation Interest has been completed, to maintain its existing custodial arrangements and bank accounts established to receive proceeds of such Closing Date Participation Interest and (ii) to remit to the Buyer, promptly (but not more than three Business Days) after receipt of such payment and identification thereof, each payment received in connection with each Closing Date Participation Interest to which the Buyer is entitled in accordance with Section 2.01 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Excluded Amounts). The Seller and the Financing Subsidiary acknowledge that from and after the Closing Date it shall have no equitable or beneficial interest in any payment received by it with respect to any Closing Date Participation Interest (other than any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the period of time prior to and excluding the Closing Date).

Section 2.05 Elevation of the Closing Date Participation Interests.
(a) Subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Closing Date Participation Interest and of applicable law, the Seller and the Financing Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect an Elevation, as soon as reasonably practicable, with respect to each such Closing Date Participation and take such action (including the execution and delivery of an assignment agreement) as shall be mutually agreeable in connection therewith and in accordance with the terms and conditions of each such Closing Date Participation Interest and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller and Financing Subsidiary shall pay any transfer fees and other expenses payable in connection with an Elevation and the Buyer will reimburse the Seller for half of such fees and expenses after receipt of an invoice therefor from the Seller detailing such amounts. The Buyer shall be responsible for any expenses of administering each Closing Date Participation Interest prior to its Elevation. At Elevation, the Seller and the Financing Subsidiary shall deliver such assignment and the credit documentation with respect to the related Closing Date Participation Interest in its possession to or as directed by the Buyer.
(b) If the Seller or the Financing Subsidiary has not effected an Elevation of a Closing Date Participation Interest on or before the day that is 90 days from the Closing Date for whatever reason or if at any time prior thereto the Seller or the Financing Subsidiary is dissolved prior to effecting an Elevation, the Seller or the Financing Subsidiary and the Buyer agree that the Participation Interests in each of the Closing Date Participation Interests shall elevate automatically and immediately to an assignment and all of the Seller’s (or, with respect to the Collateral Obligations held by the Financing Subsidiary on the Closing Date, the Financing Subsidiary’s) rights, title, interests and ownership of such Closing Date Participations shall vest in Buyer. The Seller or the Financing Subsidiary shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to Elevation for each of the Closing Date Participations upon the execution of this Agreement.

agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead, to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents that the Buyer reasonably deems appropriate or necessary in connection with any Elevation or finalization of an assignment of any of the Closing Date Participation Interests. In addition, the Seller and the Financing Subsidiary, effective as of the date hereof, hereby make, constitute and appoint the Buyer, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead, to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents that the Buyer reasonably deems appropriate or necessary to direct the obligor or agent bank with respect to any Closing Date Participation Interests to deposit Income Collections directly into an account chosen by the Buyer or the Financing Subsidiary, as applicable. The foregoing powers of attorney are hereby declared to be irrevocable and a power coupled with an interest, and shall survive and not be affected by the bankruptcy or insolvency or dissolution of the Seller.
Section 2.06 Limitation on Sales to Seller and Affiliates.
(a) At all times, (i) the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations that are Substitute Collateral Obligations plus (ii) the Aggregate Principal Balance related to all Collateral Obligations that have been repurchased by the Seller hereunder pursuant to its right of optional repurchase or substitution and not subsequently applied to purchase a Substitute Collateral Obligation may not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, clause (ii) of this Section 2.06(a) shall not include (A) if such calculation is made during the Reinvestment Period only, the Principal Balance related to any Collateral Obligation that is repurchased by the Seller in connection with a proposed Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation so long as (x) the Seller certifies in writing to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Loan Agent that such purchase is, in the commercially reasonable business judgment of the Seller, necessary or advisable in connection with the restructuring of such Collateral Obligation and such restructuring is expected to result in a Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation, and (y) the Collateral Manager certifies in writing to the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Loan Agent that the Collateral Manager either would not be permitted to or would not elect to enter into such Specified Amendment pursuant to the Collateral Manager Standard or any provision of the Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement, (B) the purchase price of any Collateral Obligations or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity Securities sold by and at the option of the Buyer to the Seller pursuant to Section 12.1(d) of the Indenture or Section 12.1(h) of the Indenture as determined described in Section 12.1(h)(i) of the Indenture and (C) the Principal Balance related to any Ineligible Collateral Obligation that is repurchased or substituted by the Seller in connection with a mandatory repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 2.07. The foregoing provisions in this paragraph constitute the “Repurchase and Substitution Limit”.
(b) The Seller agrees to identify to the Buyer each Affiliate Originated Collateral Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Buyer, so long as the Acquisition Test and the other applicable conditions set forth in the Indenture are met, may also purchase Collateral Obligations that are not Affiliate Originated Collateral Obligations directly from third parties or may acquire Collateral Obligations as a lender at the closing thereof.

Section 2.07 Mandatory Repurchases.
Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager of a breach of the representation set forth in Section 4.02 which materially and adversely affects the value of the Collateral Obligations or the interest therein of the Noteholders or the Class A-1 Lenders or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Class A-1 Lenders in the related Collateral Obligations in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Collateral Obligation (each such Collateral Obligation, an “Ineligible Collateral Obligation”), the Collateral Manager shall give prompt written notice of such breach or failure to the parties hereunder and the Collateral Trustee. Within 30 days of the earlier of the discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Seller of any such breach or its receipt of notice of any such breach from the Collateral Manager or the Buyer, the Seller shall (a) promptly cure such breach in all material respects, (b) purchase the Collateral Obligation by depositing in the Collection Account, within such 30-day period, an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount of such Collateral Obligation or (c) remove such Collateral Obligation from the Buyer and substitute therefor one or more Substitute Collateral Obligations satisfying the criteria listed under Section 2.08 of this Agreement and Section 12.3 of the Indenture by not later than 30 days after notice or discovery of such breach. The Repurchase and Substitution Limit will not apply to any Ineligible Collateral Obligation that is repurchased or substituted by the Seller in connection with a mandatory repurchase or substitution. Such repurchase and substitution obligations constitute the sole remedy available for a breach of Section 3.02.
Section 2.08 Optional Substitution of Collateral Obligations.
(a) Subject to any applicable provisions of Sections 12.3 and 12.4 of the Indenture, this Section 2.08, and the Repurchase and Substitution Limit set forth in Section 2.06 of this Agreement, with respect to any Collateral Obligation as to which a Substitution Event has occurred, the Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) either (i) convey to the Buyer one or more Collateral Obligations in exchange for such Collateral Obligation or (ii) deposit into the Principal Collection Subaccount the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to such Collateral Obligation and then, prior to the expiration of the Substitution Period, convey to the Buyer one or more Collateral Obligations in exchange for the funds so deposited or a portion thereof.
(b) Any substitution pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be initiated by delivery of a Notice of Substitution, as set forth in the Indenture, by the Seller to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Buyer and the Collateral Manager that the Seller intends to substitute a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Section 2.08 and shall be completed prior to the earliest of: (i) the expiration of ninety (90) days after delivery of such notice; or (ii) in the case of a Collateral Obligation which has become subject to a Specified Amendment, the effective date set forth in such Specified Amendment (such period described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.08(b), as applicable, being the “Substitution Period”).
(c) Each Notice of Substitution shall specify the Collateral Obligation to be substituted, the reasons for such substitution and the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to the Collateral Obligation. On the last day of any Substitution Period, any amounts previously deposited in accordance with Section 2.08(a)(ii) which relate to such Substitution Period that have not been applied to purchase one or more Substitute Collateral Obligations or to fund the
-14-
Revolver Funding Account if necessary with respect thereto shall be deemed to constitute Principal Proceeds; provided that prior to the expiration of the related Substitution Period any such amounts shall not be deemed to be Principal Proceeds and shall remain in the Principal Collection Subaccount until applied to acquire Substitute Collateral Obligations or to fund the Revolver Funding Account if necessary with respect thereto. The price paid (or deemed paid, in the case of a contemporaneous conveyance of a Substitute Collateral Obligation pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(i)) by the Buyer to the Seller for any Substitute Collateral Obligation shall be an amount equal to the Market Value thereof, as determined by the Collateral Manager in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard (but in no event less than the fair market value thereof). To the extent any cash or other property received by the Buyer from the Seller in connection with a Substitution Event as set forth herein and in the Indenture exceeds the fair market value of the replaced Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Seller to the Buyer.
(d) The substitution of any Substitute Collateral Obligation will be subject to the satisfaction of the Substitute Collateral Obligations Qualification Conditions as of the related Cut-Off Date for each such Collateral Obligation (after giving effect to such substitution).
(e) With respect to any Substitute Collateral Obligations to be conveyed to the Buyer by the Seller as described in this Section 2.08, the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, without recourse other than as expressly provided herein (and the Buyer shall purchase through cash payment and/or by exchange of one or more related Collateral Obligations released by the Buyer to the Seller on the related Cut-Off Date), all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Substitute Collateral Obligation. To the extent any cash or other property received by the Buyer from the Seller in connection with a Substitution Event as set forth herein and in the Indenture exceeds the fair market value of the replaced Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Seller to the Buyer.
(f) The Seller shall execute and deliver to the Buyer and the Collateral Trustee a Subsequent Transfer Agreement with respect to each Substitute Collateral Obligation and shall cooperate with the Collateral Manager and the Buyer so that they may satisfy their respective obligations with respect to any substitution of Collateral Obligations pursuant to the Indenture.
(g) The Seller shall bear all transaction costs incurred in connection with a substitution of Collateral Obligations effected pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture.
