AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
Section 2.1 Agreement to Purchase. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Company hereby agrees to buy, and each Originator hereby agrees to sell on each Business Day from the Closing Date until the occurrence of the Final Transfer Date, and each Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Company, all of such
4
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each sale of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts”, as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC, which sales are absolute and irrevocable and provide the Company with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 2.3, each sale of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to the applicable Originator; provided, however , that (i) each Originator shall be liable to the Company for the amount of any loss arising out of, and any costs and expenses incurred as a result of, a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Company or any other Person of any obligation of any Originator or any other Person arising in connection with such Receivables, the Related Assets or any other obligations of any Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the sales of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of such Receivables rather than a loan secured by such Receivables, each Originator agrees on or prior to the date hereof to xxxx the master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend evidencing that the Company has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement, in form and substance agreed to by the Administrative Agent and such Originator from time to time. Upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, each Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate or as the Company or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to enforce the sale of Receivables to the Company hereunder. In addition, each Originator will, upon reasonable request, make available to the Company or to the Servicer a copy of each Contract under which a Receivable has arisen.
Section 2.2 Payment for the Purchases. (a) The “Purchase Price” with respect to any Purchase on any Purchase Date shall be an amount equal to (i) the lesser of (A) the product of (x) the aggregate RSA Outstanding Balance of the subject Receivables as of such date and (y) the Discounted Percentage and (B) an amount agreed upon by the related Originator and the Company, which amount shall allow the Company a reasonable return with respect to such
5
(b) The Company shall pay each Originator the Purchase Price with respect to each Pool Receivable transferred by such Originator and the RSA Related Security therefor on the applicable Purchase Date by transfer of funds, to the extent that the Company has funds available for that purpose after satisfying the Company’s obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement that are due and payable. To the extent that such funds are insufficient, either (i) the Company may pay all or a part of the applicable Purchase Price by borrowing from the applicable Originator a subordinated loan (each a “Subordinated Loan”), and such Originator, subject to the remaining provisions of this paragraph, irrevocably agrees to advance such Subordinated Loan in the amount so specified by the Company or (ii) in the case of Ingram, if Ingram so elects, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, the excess Receivables and Related Assets shall be deemed to have been transferred by Ingram to the Company as a capital contribution, in return for an increase in the value of the voting securities of the Company held by Ingram. All Subordinated Loans made by an Originator hereunder shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of, a single subordinated promissory note for each Originator in the form of Annex A hereto (the “Subordinated Note”) and shall be payable solely from funds which the Company is not then required under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, the “Affected Persons” or the “Indemnified Parties” (in each case, as defined therein).
Section 2.3 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day (i) the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted by the Servicer as a result of any Dilution Factors, or (ii) any of the representations or warranties in paragraphs (h) or (n) of Section 4.1 is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, then, in such event, the Company shall be entitled to a credit (a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder to the Originator of such Pool Receivable equal to the full amount of such reduction or adjustment (in the case of clause (i) above) or equal to the Outstanding Balance of the applicable Pool Receivable (in the case of clause (ii) above). If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Purchase Price in respect of the Receivables to be sold hereunder by the Originator of such Pool Receivable on any date, then such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if the Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under the Subordinated Note issued by the Company to such Originator; provided, further, that at any time on or after the Termination Date, the amount of any such Purchase Price Credit shall be paid by such Originator to the Company by deposit in immediately available funds into the relevant Blocked Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Pool Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.
6
Section 2.4 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Company hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof by no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the Originators designated from time to time by the Originators or as otherwise directed by the Originators. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Originators hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof by no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the Company or as otherwise directed by the Company. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment. The Originators shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Originators when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.00% per annum above the “LIBO Rate” (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement), payable on demand. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.
Section 2.5 Transfer of Records. (a) In connection with the purchases of Pool Receivables hereunder, each Originator hereby grants to each of the Company and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided, that should the consent of any licensor of any Originator to such grant of the license described herein be required, such Originator hereby agrees upon the request of the Company or any assignee of the Company to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall terminate on the Final Transfer Date.
(b) Each Originator shall take such action reasonably requested by the Company, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Company has an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Pool Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder and an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Pool Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.
Section 2.6 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 2.1(b), the conveyance by each Originator to the Company of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale, this Agreement shall nonetheless constitute a security agreement under applicable Law. For this purpose, each Originator hereby grants to the Company a security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables and Related Assets. After any Purchase Termination Event, the Company shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. In connection with the grant of the transfer of ownership or security interest in the Receivables, by signing this Agreement in the space provided, each Originator hereby authorizes the filing of all applicable UCC financing statements in all necessary jurisdictions.
7
(b) Each Originator hereby grants to the Company, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of such Originator, which appointment is coupled with an interest and which may be exercised by the Administrative Agent only during the existence of a Termination Event, to take any and all steps in the name of such Originator necessary or desirable to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Receivables and Related Assets, including endorsing the name of such Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Receivables and Related Assets.
(c) Each Originator shall perform all of its obligations under the RSA Records generated by it to the same extent as if the related Receivables had not been sold hereunder and the exercise by the Company, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or their designees of its or their rights hereunder or under the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall not relieve the Originators from such obligations.
