released basis, free, clear and unencumbered title in and to the following: (i)
the Accounts, (ii) the Credit Account Information, and (iii) all other rights,
businesses, properties, agreements and assets relating to the foregoing ((i),
(ii) and (iii) above collectively, the "Assets to be Sold").
Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, the sale of the
Accounts and the other Assets to be Sold is made without recourse to Seller (and
Seller shall have no right in any event to reacquire the Accounts or the Assets
to be Sold).
3. Consideration for Assets to be Sold.
3.1 Purchase Price. In consideration for the sale by Seller to
Purchaser of the Assets to be Sold as provided in Section 2.1 above, Purchaser
agrees to pay Seller, as adjusted in Section 3.2 below, on the Closing Date, an
amount equal to (1) the product of (i) the Purchase Percentage, multiplied by

amount is as set forth on the Tape)(the product of (i) and (ii) being the
"Purchase Price"), plus (2) the amount of compensation due and payable by Seller
to Ironwood Capital in connection with the sale of the Receivables to Purchaser
(being 33 basis points (.33%) of the Purchase Price, not to exceed $300,000),
less (3) the amount the Purchaser has identified as qualifying for a Refund
prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the standards set forth in Section 6.5
below. Assuming the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables as of the
Effective Time is $264,267,727, and that no Accounts are determined to qualify
for a Refund prior to the Closing Date, then the Purchase Price for the
Receivables is $87,208,350, plus $287,788 in commissions for Ironwood Capital.
3.2 Purchase Price Payment Adjustments.
(a) At Closing. The actual payment made by Purchaser to Seller on
the Closing Date in respect of the Purchase Price shall be (x) reduced in an
amount equal to (i) the Gross Collections from the Effective Time through July
31, 2001 because Seller will be deemed to have collected such payments on
Purchaser's account during such time period, plus (ii) $8,000,000, which amount
is an estimate of the collections from August 1, 2001 through August 31, 2001
(the "August Collection Period"), and (y) increased in an amount equal to the
direct out of pocket servicing costs associated with the Accounts, paid by
Seller to Associates Commerce Solutions ("Associates") for the Effective Time
through the Closing Date (consistent with the pricing set forth on Exhibit B of
the current Service Agreement between Seller and Associates, a copy of which has
been provided by Seller to Purchaser and is attached hereto as Exhibit F (the
"Servicing Agreement")) because Seller will be deemed to have made any such
payments on Purchaser's account during such time period.
Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date beyond August
23, 2001, but in no event beyond August 31, 2001, unless such extension is due
to Seller's inability to close on or before August 31, 2001 or the failure of a
condition precedent to Purchaser's closing obligation (an "Extending Event"). In
the event Purchaser extends the Closing Date beyond August 23, 2001 and such
extension is not due to an Extending Event, Purchaser shall pay Seller a per
diem amount equal to the net amount to be wired to Seller by Purchaser as set
forth on the Closing Statement, multiplied by a factor of .000132, until the
earlier of the actual Closing Date or August 31, 2001.
(b) Reconciliation. Purchaser and Seller shall no later that
September 10, 2001 reconcile actual Gross Collections for the August Collection
Period. To the extent that Gross Collections during the August Collection Period
are (i) less than $8,000,000, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller the difference
between such Gross Collections and $8,000,000 within five business days of
determining such amount, or (ii) greater than $8,000,000, then Seller shall pay
to Purchaser the difference between such Gross Collections and $8,000,000 within
five business days of determining such amount. Purchaser shall receive the full
benefit of all collections received by Seller or its agents after the Effective
Date regardless of whether agents of Seller, such as outside third party
collection agencies, may have received the funds prior to the Effective Date
(net of any outside third party collection agency fees or the like).
Seller shall cause Associates to deposit on a daily basis all Gross
Collections and all other collections on the Seller's receivables received after
September 1, 2001 by Associates which cannot be properly identified as being due
either Seller or Purchaser into a trust account in a form reasonably acceptable
to Seller and Purchaser (the "Trust Account") requiring the joint signatures of
Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser's and Seller's representatives shall on a daily
basis cause collections deposited into the Trust Account to be transferred as
follows: (i) Gross Collections and gross collections on those certain charged
off receivables purchased by Purchaser from Seller pursuant to an Account
Purchase Agreement dated as of August 15, 2001 and executed simultaneously with
this Agreement shall be transferred to the Purchaser, and (ii) all other
collections on Seller's receivables shall be transferred to the Seller. Seller
and Purchaser shall work in good faith together and with Associates to attempt
to have Customers redirect their payments to Purchaser or Seller, as may be
appropriate.
3.3 Closing Statement. Seller and Purchaser will execute a Closing
Statement, as Exhibit B, detailing the Purchase Price calculations described in
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above.
3.4 Documents Due on or before the Closing Date. On or before the
Closing Date, (a) Seller and Purchaser shall each execute and deliver a Xxxx of
Sale Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A; (b) Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser (i) the Credit Account Information, and (ii) the Tape with data as of
the Effective Time which Seller has delivered to Purchaser, the contents of
which are hereby incorporated herein by reference; and (c) Seller shall execute
and deliver to Purchaser (i) such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
as may be reasonably required to evidence the sale contemplated hereby, (ii) an
incumbency, secretary's or similar certificate, (iii) powers of endorsement in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and (iv) a "Goodbye Letter" signed by
Seller and Addressed to Customers in a form to be mutually agreed upon, provided
that the expense and responsibility for sending such Goodbye Letters shall be
borne by Purchaser; and (d) Purchaser shall execute and deliver to Seller an
incumbency, secretary's or similar certificate.
3.5 Treatment as a Sale. The parties intend that the sale of the
Assets to be Sold hereunder shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan.
4. Closing. The closing with respect to the sale and purchase of
the Assets to be Sold (the "Closing") shall take place on the Closing Date at
the offices of Gateway, Inc. located in San Diego, California or such other
mutually agreed location. If the Closing has not occurred: (i) on or before
August 31, 2001 because the conditions precedent (as specified in Sections 9) to
Seller's obligation to close have not been satisfied or waived, or (ii) on or
before October 6, 2001 because the conditions precedent (as specified in Section
8) to Purchaser's obligation to close have not been satisfied or waived, then
the party who was prepared to close but for the other party's inability to close
may elect to terminate this Agreement. The parties shall each attempt in good

clear and unencumbered of Liens and to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement; and (ii) effect the orderly transition of the Accounts acquired by

Affiliates or servicers that arises out of any event or condition occurring or
existing at any time through the Closing Date, including without limitation any
litigation threatened, pending or instituted against such parties, unpaid sales
or intangible taxes or any products liability claim (with respect to product
liability claims relating to Gateway products, Purchaser will assume no
liability whatsoever regardless of when occurring or existing), and Gateway and
Seller acknowledge that such obligations shall remain with either Gateway or
Seller as may be appropriate.
6.5 Remedies of Purchaser for breaches of Section 5.2. The
following provisions shall apply solely for valuing the reduction in value in
connection with claims relating to a breach of Section 5.2 ("Claims") and shall
not limit Purchaser's or any other party's rights pursuant to Section 7.1 or
otherwise to claim for other losses or damages other than loss of the value of
any Account (provided that Purchaser shall have the right to seek reimbursement
of all or a portion of the Purchase Price in seeking indemnification pursuant to
Section 7.1 in connection with third party claims):
(a) Right to Refund. A breach of any representation or warranty
contained in subsections 5.2(g)(1), (g)(3), (i), (l)(1), (o), (q)(1), (q)(2) or
(s) shall entitle Purchaser to recover from Seller an amount equal to the
Account Balance of the affected Account(s) as of the date of notification by
Purchaser to Seller of the Claim, multiplied by the Purchase Percentage,
provided that such loss shall not exceed an amount equal to the Account Balance
of the affected Account(s) as of the Effective Time multiplied by the Purchase
Percentage.
(b) Other Rights to Refund. A breach of any subsection of Section
5.2 other than a subsection expressly numerated in Section 6.5(a) shall entitle
Purchaser to recover from Seller the loss in value of the affected Account
provided that such loss shall not exceed an amount equal to the Account Balance
of the affected Account(s) as of the Effective Time multiplied by the Purchase
Percentage.
(c) Time Period. For purposes of determining if Purchaser may
recover under Section 6.5(a) or (b), the breach of the representations and
warranties in subsections 5.2(g)(1) and (3), (n) and (s) must be presented to
Seller, in writing, with reasonable proof on or before December 31, 2001. In
addition, after December 31, 2001, Purchaser shall not assert a claim under
Section 6.5(a) arising from a defense raised by an individual Customer on an
individual basis unless (i) that Customer is acting in concert with other
similarly situated Customers or with third parties (including without limitation
legal counsel for other Customers, or government agencies), (ii) the defense is
based on a ruling order or directive of a government authority that may affect a
cluster (being 25 or more Accounts or Customers) of similar Accounts or
Customers, or (iii) the same defense affects a cluster (being 25 more Accounts
or Customers) of similar Accounts or Customers.
(d) Submissions of Claims. Purchaser may submit to Seller all
Claims and the parties will cooperate to resolve such Claims under the following
process.
(1) Purchaser may submit a list of Claims to Seller along
with reasonable evidence of the basis for such Claims and the
amount in which Purchaser believes it is entitled to be paid.
If evidence as outlined in Schedule 6.5 is provided to Seller
and certified by Purchaser, such evidence is presumptively
sufficient as to the breach;
(2) Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such list,
Seller shall either accept or reject each individual Claim by
notifying Purchaser in writing, except for such Claims where
evidence in compliance with Schedule 6.5 has been provided to
Seller, in which case Seller may not reject the Claim
(although Seller may object to the amount of any Claim
pursuant to Section 6.5(b). If Purchaser shall not have been
notified in writing of Seller's acceptance or rejection of any
Claim during such (30) thirty-day period, the Claim shall be
deemed accepted;
(3) Seller will pay to Purchaser the amount owing related
to accepted Claims within thirty (30) days from the date such
Claim is deemed accepted, or within thirty (30) days after
acceptance or other final resolution of each Claim.
(4) In the event Seller expressly rejects any Claim
within the time period allotted, Seller shall provide to
Purchaser within such time period the basis of the objection
in writing. Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith
for up to thirty (30) days from notice of rejection to resolve
all rejected Claims;
(5) In the event a resolution has not been reached within
said thirty (30) days, the Purchaser and Seller shall attempt
to resolve the dispute under the following procedure, and the
parties agree that legal remedies cannot be resorted to until
such time that this procedure has been followed. The dispute,
including all supporting documentation and the positions of
the parties shall be submitted for resolution to each party's
most senior officer in charge of the party's business or
business unit. Such officers shall meet in person at a neutral
location within ten (10) days from expiration of the thirty
day period specified above or such earlier rejection. The
parties must mutually agree to the resolution within ten-days
after meeting or such longer time as they may mutually agree
upon. In the event the officers are unable to reach
resolution, then the provisions of subsection (6) shall apply.
(6) If any controversy or claim arising out of this
Section 6.5 cannot be settled by the parties through the
procedures outlined in subsections (1) - (5) above, then each
party will have the right to have the dispute settled by
binding arbitration. The parties shall within (10) ten days of
notice to elect arbitration pursuant to this section select a
mutually agreeable arbitrator in accordance with the then
applicable provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association, as it may be amended
(the "Rules"); otherwise the arbitration will be conducted by
three arbitrators according to the Rules. The arbitration
shall take place in New York, New York or such other location
as the Parties may mutually agree. The arbitration decision
shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and judgment upon
the award may be enforced in any jurisdiction or court having
jurisdiction over the Parties against which enforcement is
sought. Seller and Purchaser shall equally share the cost of
arbitration provided that the arbitrator shall have the
discretion to charge all, or a greater than fifty percent
(50%) share of the costs to either Seller or Purchaser if the
arbitrator determines that such party has acted in bad faith.
Any award shall be paid within five business days of the award
being granted by the arbitration panel.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Purchaser shall not assert, and neither Seller nor Gateway shall be liable for
any Claim unless such Claim exceeds $50.
7. Indemnification
7.1 Indemnification by Seller. Seller and Gateway will, on a joint
and several basis, indemnify Purchaser, EMCC Servicing LLC, and Computer Finance
LLC, EMCC and Asta and their respective Affiliates (the foregoing being the
"Purchaser Indemnified Parties") and hold each such party harmless from any
liability, loss, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which
shall result from or arise out of (i) the breach (or any third-party allegation,
which if true would constitute a breach of a Seller representation or warranty)
of any of Seller's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement;
(ii) the breach by Seller of any of its covenants or agreements herein
contained; or (iii) the Assets to be Sold which exists on, or arises out of any
event or condition occurring or existing at any time through the Closing Date;
or (iv) the retention of title to any Account which was subject to the
provisions of Section 6.5; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be
obligated under this Section 7.1 to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties
for any liability, loss, cost or expense which shall result from a Purchaser
Indemnified Party's willful misconduct or gross negligence. In case any claim is
made, or any suit or action is commenced, against a Purchaser Indemnified Party
in respect of which indemnification may be sought by it under this Section 7.1,
Purchaser shall promptly give Seller notice thereof and Seller shall be entitled
to participate in (or, if Purchaser does not desire to defend, to conduct) the
defense thereof at Seller's expense. Seller may (but need not) defend or
participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action, but Seller shall
promptly notify Purchaser if Seller shall not desire to defend or participate in
the defense of any such claim, suit or action. Purchaser may at any time notify
Seller of its intention to settle or compromise any claim, suit or action
against a Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of which payments may be sought
by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder, and Purchaser may settle or
compromise any such claim, suit or action unless Seller notifies Purchaser in
writing (within ten (10) days after Purchaser has given written notice of its
intention to settle or compromise) that Seller intends to indemnify the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties and conduct the defense of such claim, suit or
action. Any such settlement or compromise of, or any final judgment or decree
entered on or in, any claim, suit or action which Purchaser has defended or
participated in the defense of in accordance herewith, shall be deemed to have
been consented to by, and shall be binding upon, Seller as fully as if Seller
had assumed the defense thereof and a final judgment or decree had been entered
in such suit or action, or with regard to such claim, by a court of competent
jurisdiction for the amount of such settlement, compromise, judgment or decree.
Seller or Gateway shall have the option to purchase from Purchaser any
Account which is the subject of a third party claim and the provisions of this
Section 7.1 for an amount equal to the Account Balance as of the date of
purchase, multiplied by the Purchase Percentage. Purchaser and Seller shall
execute such documents as are deemed reasonably necessary to effectuate such
purchase on a non-recourse basis.
7.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser will indemnify Seller,
Gateway and their respective Affiliates (the forgoing being the "Seller
Indemnified Parties") and hold each such party harmless from any liability,
loss, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which shall result
from or arise out of (i) the breach (or any third-party allegation, which if
true would constitute a breach of a Purchaser representation or warranty) of any
of Purchaser's representations or warranties in this Agreement; (ii) the breach
by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements herein; or (iii) any
liability or obligation relating to the Assets to be Sold which arises out of
any event or condition occurring or existing after the Closing Date; provided,
however, that in no event shall Purchaser be obligated under this Section 7.2 to
indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties against any liability, loss, cost or
expense which shall result from Seller Indemnified Parties's willful misconduct
or gross negligence. In case any claim is made, or any suit or action is
commenced against Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of which indemnification
may be sought by Seller Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.2, Seller shall
promptly give Purchaser notice thereof and Purchaser shall be entitled to
participate in (or, if Seller does not desire to defend, to conduct) the defense
thereof at Purchaser's expense. Purchaser may (but need not) defend or
participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action, but Purchaser
shall promptly notify Seller if Purchaser shall not desire to defend or
participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action. Seller may at any
time notify Purchaser of its intention to settle or compromise any claim, suit
or action against Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of which payments may be
sought by Seller Indemnified Parties hereunder (and in the defense of which
Purchaser has not previously elected to participate), and Seller may settle or
compromise any such claim, suit or action unless Purchaser notifies Seller in
writing (within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser written notice of
its intention to settle or compromise) that Purchaser intends to indemnify
Seller Indemnified Parties and conduct the defense of such claim, suit or
action. Any such settlement or compromise of, or any final judgment or decree
entered on or in, any claim, suit or action which Seller has defended or
participated in the defense of in accordance herewith shall be deemed to have
been consented to by, and shall be binding upon, Purchaser as fully as if
Purchaser had assumed the defense thereof and a final judgment or decree had
been entered in such suit or action, or with regard to such claim, by a court of
competent jurisdiction for the amount of such settlement, compromise, judgment
or decree.
EMCC Servicing LLC and EMCC (collectively the "EMCC Party"), and
Computer Finance LLC and Asta (collectively the "Asta Party") intend to split
the Receivables into two separate and distinct pools, an entity from each group
purchasing a pool. To the extent Seller Indemnified Parties have a claim against
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.2, the EMCC Party join in the indemnity to
the extent the claim arose from an action or failure to act by an EMCC Party,
and the Asta Party joins in the indemnity to the extent the claim arose from an
action or failure to act by an Asta Party. In no event shall an EMCC Party to
liable to Seller pursuant to this Section 7.2 as a result of an act or failure
to act by an Asta Party, nor shall an Asta Party be liable for an act or failure
to act by an EMCC Party.
