Section 9.12 Sale Characterization; Grant of Security Interest.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall
constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide
the Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the Sold Assets. Except as
specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of Sold Assets hereunder is made without
recourse to the Seller; provided, however, that (i) the Seller shall be
liable to the
- 35 -
Purchaser for all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Seller 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 Purchaser or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the
Seller or any other Person arising in connection with the Sold Assets or any other
obligations of the Seller or any other Person.
(b) This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC with respect to
the Collection Accounts (until the Account Transfer Date) and, to that end, the Seller
hereby grants to the Purchaser, in order to secure the payment of all present and future
Company Indebtedness and obligations of the Seller to the Purchaser with respect to the Sold
Receivables outstanding from time to time, a valid security interest in all of the Seller’s
right, title and interest in, to and under each Collection Account, and all amounts credited
thereto from time to time with respect to Sold Receivables.
Section 9.13 Paramountcy. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the
terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Transaction Documents, the Parties agree that the
provisions of this Agreement shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, promptly following the request of the Seller at
any time, the Purchaser shall reconvey to the Seller by way of assignment, any Quebec Receivables
(as such expression is defined in the Quebec Assignment) conveyed to the Purchaser pursuant to the
Quebec Assignment not intended by the Parties to be conveyed hereunder by the Seller to the
Purchaser. Any such reconveyance by the Purchaser to the Seller shall be effected without any
representation or warranty (express, implied, legal, statutory or otherwise) except for the
Purchaser’s warranty that the reconveyed assets are not subject to any hypothec, lien, charge,
security interest, ownership interest or encumbrance created by the Purchaser. The Parties hereby
undertake to promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all other actions
that may be reasonably necessary or advisable in order to give effect to such reconveyance, and to
render same opposable to third Persons. The Purchaser furthermore agrees to remit promptly to the
Seller any and all Collections received on account of any Quebec Receivables (as such expression is
defined in the Quebec Assignment) conveyed to the Purchaser pursuant to the Quebec Assignment not
intended by the Parties to be conveyed hereunder by the Seller to the Purchaser.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by
their duly authorized officers as of the date hereof.
