ARTICLE I.

Section 1.01. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex X.
Section 1.02. Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Annex X shall govern. All Appendices hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement.
ARTICLE II.
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF PURCHASES
Section 2.01. Purchases.
(a) (i) Under the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement, each Purchaser purchased such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of “Term Purchaser Interests” under (and as defined in) the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement, which will remain outstanding as of the Second Restatement Effective Date (the “Existing Term Purchaser Interest”). On the Second Restatement Effective Date, each Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Existing Term Purchaser Interest with an aggregate Capital Investment equal to the Initial Term Purchaser Interest Amount (together with any Reinvestment Purchases with respect thereto, the “Term Purchaser Interest”) shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, continue as and constitute such Purchaser’s portion of the Term Purchaser Interest hereunder.
(ii) In addition, from and after the Second Restatement Effective Date and until the Facility Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Purchaser severally agrees to purchase such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of each additional Purchaser Interest from the Seller from time to time and the Seller agrees to sell such Purchaser Interests to the Purchasers (together with any Reinvestment Purchases with respect thereto, the “Revolving Purchaser Interest”).
(iii) Each Purchaser agrees that if a Purchase is requested, such Purchaser shall make available in accordance with Section 2.03(b) hereof, an amount equal to such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of such Purchase. Each Purchase shall consist of either (i) a Purchase made with new funds provided by such Purchasers (each, a “Capital Purchase”) or (ii) a Purchase made with funds consisting of Collections allocated to the Purchaser Interests pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (each, a “Reinvestment Purchase”). On each Business Day following the Closing Date until the Facility Termination Date, but subject to Section 3.02 hereof, each Purchaser holding a Purchaser Interest at such time shall be automatically deemed to have made a Reinvestment Purchase with the amount of funds to be distributed to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.08, if any.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of (x) Capital Investment in respect of the Term Purchaser Interest and (y) Capital Investment in respect of the Revolving Purchaser Interest shall be the same at all times.
Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement

(b) Each Purchaser’s obligation hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any Purchase hereunder shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to make payment for such Purchase.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall a Purchaser make any Purchase if, after giving effect thereto, a Purchase Excess would exist.
Section 2.02. Changes in Maximum Total Purchase Limit.
(a) The Seller may, at its option, reduce the Maximum Total Purchase Limit permanently; provided, that (i) the Seller shall give three days prior written notice of any such reduction to the Purchaser Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) (each such notice, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”), (ii) any partial reduction of the Maximum Total Purchase Limit shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (iii) no such partial reduction shall reduce the Maximum Total Purchase Limit below the Capital Investment at such time, and (iv) no reduction of the Maximum Term Purchase Limit under this Section 2.02(a) will be permitted until the Maximum Revolving Purchase Limit has been reduced to zero. Any such reduction in the Maximum Total Purchase Limit shall result in a reduction in each Purchaser’s Commitment in an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of the amount by which the Maximum Total Purchase Limit is being reduced.
(b) The Seller may, at any time, on at least three days’ prior written notice by the Seller to the Purchaser Agent, irrevocably terminate the Maximum Total Purchase Limit; provided, that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(b) (the “Commitment Termination Notice”) and (ii) the Seller shall apply Collections, and only Collections, in the Accounts or the Agent Account to reduce the Capital Investment to zero and make all payments required by Section 2.03(g) at the time and in the manner specified therein. Upon such termination, the Seller’s right to request that any Purchaser make Purchases hereunder shall in each case simultaneously terminate and the Facility Termination Date shall automatically occur.
(c) Each written notice required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(a) and (b) shall be irrevocable and shall be effective (i) on the day of receipt if received by the Purchaser Agent and the Purchasers not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day and (ii) on the immediately succeeding Business Day if received by the Purchaser Agent and the Purchasers after such time on such Business Day or if any such notice is received on a day other than a Business Day (regardless of the time of day such notice is received). Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify, respectively, the amount of, or the amount of the proposed reduction in, the Maximum Total Purchase Limit.
(d) Any reduction of the Capital Investment of the Term Purchaser Interest at any time shall as a consequence of such Capital Investment pursuant to Section 2.03(g) result in a permanent reduction of (i) the Maximum Term Purchase Limit in the same amount as such reduction and (ii) if the Maximum Revolving Purchase Limit is greater than zero, the Maximum Revolving Purchase Limit in an amount sufficient to cause the ratio of the Maximum Term Purchase Limit to the Maximum Revolving Purchase Limit to remain equal to 6:4.
Section 2.03. Procedures for Making Capital Purchases.
(a) Capital Purchase Requests. Each Capital Purchase shall be made upon notice by the Seller to the Purchaser Agent in the manner provided herein. No notice to any party is required in connection with a Reinvestment Purchase. Any such notice with respect to a Capital Purchase must be given in writing so that it is received no later than (1) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day
Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement
3
preceding the proposed Purchase Date set forth therein. Each such notice (a “Capital Purchase Request”) shall (i) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(a), (ii) be irrevocable and (iii) specify the amount of the requested increase in the Capital Investment (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of $1,000,000) and the proposed Purchase Date (which shall be a Business Day), and shall include such other information as may be required by the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agent. Unless a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Purchase shall be a LIBOR Rate Purchase.
(b) Capital Purchases; Payments. The Purchaser Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Capital Purchase Request and in any event prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date such Capital Purchase Request is deemed received, by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of communication notify the Purchasers of its receipt of a Capital Purchase Request, and B) the Purchasers shall make the amount of such requested increase in the Capital Investment available to the Purchaser Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Agent Account as set forth in Annex W (as may be updated from time to time by written notice from the Purchaser Agent to the Seller) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Purchase Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Purchaser Agent’s sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.03(c), before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02), the Purchaser Agent shall make available to the Seller by deposit into the Seller Account on the Purchase Date therefor, the lesser of (x) the amount of the requested increase in the Capital Investment and (y) the Availability. All payments by each Purchaser under this Section 2.03(b) shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(c) Funding Capital Purchases. The Purchaser Agent may assume that each Purchaser will make its Pro Rata Share of each increase in the Capital Investment in connection with a Capital Purchase available to the Purchaser Agent on each Purchase Date. If the Purchaser Agent has made available to the Seller such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of any such increase in Capital Investment but such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the Purchaser Agent by such Purchaser when due, the Purchaser Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Purchaser without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Purchaser fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon the Purchaser Agent’s demand, the Purchaser Agent shall promptly notify the Seller and the Seller shall immediately repay such amount to the Purchaser Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Related Documents shall be deemed to require the Purchaser Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Purchaser or to relieve any Purchaser from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Seller may have against any Purchaser as a result of any default by such Purchaser hereunder. To the extent that the Purchaser Agent advances funds to the Seller on behalf of any Purchaser and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such increase in Capital Investment is made, the Purchaser Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all Daily Yield accrued on such increase in Capital Investment from the date of such increase in Capital Investment to the date such increase in Capital Investment is reimbursed by the applicable Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be.
(d) Return of Payments. (i) If the Purchaser Agent pays an amount to a Purchaser under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Purchaser Agent from the Seller and such related payment is not received by the Purchaser Agent, then the Purchaser Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Purchaser on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) If at any time any amount received by the Purchaser Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Seller or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this
Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement
4
Agreement or any other Related Document, the Purchaser Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Purchaser. In addition, each Purchaser will repay to the Purchaser Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Purchaser Agent has distributed to such Purchaser, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Purchaser Agent is required to pay to the Seller or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(e) Non-Funding Purchasers. The failure of any Non-Funding Purchaser to make any increase in Capital Investment to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Purchaser (each such other Purchaser, an “Other Purchaser”) of its obligations to make any increase in Capital Investment to be made by it, but neither any Other Purchaser nor the Purchaser Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Purchaser to make any increase in Capital Investment to be made by such Non-Funding Purchaser.
(f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Purchaser hereby agrees with each other Purchaser that no Purchaser shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Purchase Assignment (including exercising any rights of set-off) against the Seller or the Transaction Parties without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser Agent or the Requisite Purchasers, it being the intent of the Purchasers that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Purchase Assignment against the Seller or the other Transaction Parties shall, subject to any provision herein requiring that each Purchaser or the Requisite 8.01 Purchasers consent to a particular action, be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Purchaser Agent or the Requisite Purchasers; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent any Purchaser from filing a proof of claim in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Transaction Party
(g) Capital Repayments. On each Business Day, Collections on deposit in the Agent Account shall be applied, or allocated, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.08(a) or Section 2.08(b), as applicable. The Seller may also at any time reduce the Capital Investment; provided, that (i) the Seller shall give prior written notice of any such reduction to the Purchaser Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(g) (each such notice, a “Reduction Notice”), (ii) such notice must have been received by the Purchaser Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed reduction, (iii) each such notice shall be irrevocable, (iv) each such notice shall specify the amount of the requested reduction in Capital Investment and the proposed date of such reduction (which shall be a Business Day) and (v) no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed reduction, in accordance with Section 2.08(c), the Seller shall pay to the Agent Account (A) the amount of Capital Investment to be reduced, (B) all Daily Yield accrued and unpaid on the Capital Investment being reduced through but excluding the date of such reduction and (C) the costs, if any, required by Section 2.10. Any reduction in Capital Investment under this Agreement shall be applied (x) first to reduce the Capital Investment in respect of the Revolving Purchaser Interest and (y) second, after the Capital Investment of the Revolving Purchaser Interest is reduced to zero, to reduce the Capital Investment in respect of the Term Purchaser Interest. Any repayment or reduction in Capital Investment in respect of the Term Purchaser Interest shall not be re-advanced to the Seller.
Section 2.04. Conveyance of Receivables.
(a) Purchase Assignment. On or prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date, the Seller shall complete, execute and deliver to the Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.04(a) (the “Purchase Assignment”) in order to evidence the Purchases.
Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement

(b) Vesting of Ownership.
(i) Effective on and as of each Purchase Date, the Purchasers shall own the Purchaser Interests sold by the Seller hereunder on such Purchase Date. The Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest in such Purchaser Interests. Each Purchaser hereby appoints the Purchaser Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting its ownership interest in the Purchaser Interests.
(ii) The Seller shall indicate in its Records that interests in the Transferred Receivables have been sold hereunder and that ownership of such interests is vested in the Purchaser Agent on behalf of the Purchasers. In addition, the Seller shall respond to any inquiries with respect to the ownership of any Transferred Receivable by stating that interests therein have been sold hereunder and that ownership of such interests is vested in the Purchasers. The Seller and the Servicer shall hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser Agent on behalf of the Purchasers, and for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of such Transferred Receivables. The Seller hereby acknowledges that its retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be at the sole discretion of the Purchaser Agent and in a custodial capacity for the Purchaser Agent’s (on behalf of the Purchasers) benefit only.
(c) Repurchases of Transferred Receivables. If (i) any Transferor is required to repurchase Transferred Receivables from the Seller pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Transfer Agreement, upon payment by such Transferor to a Collection Account of the applicable repurchase price thereof (which repurchase price shall not be less than an amount equal to the Billed Amount of such Transferred Receivable minus Collections received in respect thereof), the Purchaser Agent on behalf of itself and the other Specified Parties shall release its lien, Purchaser Interests and any other rights or interests in the Transferred Receivables being so repurchased.
Section 2.05. Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Purchaser shall have any obligation to purchase any additional Purchaser Interests from and after the earlier of (i) the Facility Termination Date or (ii) the Final Purchase Date with respect to such Purchaser.
Section 2.06. Daily Yield; Charges.
(a) The Seller shall pay Daily Yield to the Purchaser Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers, with respect to the outstanding amount of Capital Investment maintained by each Purchaser, in arrears on each applicable Settlement Date, at the applicable Daily Yield Rate as in effect from time to time during the period applicable to such Settlement Date. Daily Yield for each Purchase shall be calculated based upon actual days elapsed during the applicable calendar month or other period, for a 360 day year based upon actual days elapsed since the last Settlement Date. Unless a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Purchase shall be a LIBOR Rate Purchase.
(b) The Purchaser Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Seller as an increase in Capital Investment and cause to be paid all Fees, expenses, charges, costs, interest and principal, owing by the Seller under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents if and to the extent the Seller fails to pay any such amounts as and when due, and any charges so made shall constitute part of the Capital Investment hereunder even if such charges would cause the aggregate balance of the Capital Investment to exceed the Investment Base.

(d) To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Agent Account on any day are insufficient to pay amounts due on such day in respect of any Purchase Excess, any matured Daily Yield, Fees or any other amounts due and payable by the Seller hereunder, the Seller shall pay, upon notice from the Purchaser Agent, the amount of such insufficiency to the Purchaser Agent in Dollars, in immediately available funds (for the account of the Purchaser Agent, the applicable Purchasers, Affected Parties or Indemnified Persons) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day. Any such payment made on such date but after such time shall be deemed to have been made on, and Daily Yield shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon at the Daily Yield Rate, until the next succeeding Business Day.
(e) The Seller hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of the Seller, and the Seller hereby irrevocably agrees that any and all such payments shall be applied by the Purchaser Agent in accordance with this Section 2.08.
(f) All payments in reduction of Capital Investment and all payments of Daily Yield, Fees and other amounts payable by the Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds.

Payments received at or prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on such Business Day. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.
(g) Any and all payments by the Seller hereunder shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.08 without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges or withholdings (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges and withholdings, other than Excluded Taxes, being “Indemnified Taxes”), excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, gross receipts or franchise taxes of any Affected Party by the jurisdictions under the laws of which such Affected Party is organized or by any political subdivisions thereof or in which it is doing business other than solely as a result of the transactions contemplated hereunder, (ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the U.S., (iii) any withholding tax to which the Affected Party is subject on the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and (iv) any U.S. withholding tax which is imposed as a result of the Affected Party’s failure to provide the forms required under Section 2.08(h) hereof, if any, or to comply with FATCA (such excluded taxes being, “Excluded Taxes”). If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) the Affected Party entitled to receive any such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Seller shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Seller shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(together with any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.
(h) Prior to the receipt of any payments hereunder each foreign Purchaser shall provide Agent, Purchaser Agent and Seller with two properly executed forms W-8BEN claiming a full exemption from U.S. withholding tax.
(i) Any Affected Party which receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes for which it received payments under Section 2.08(g) hereof, shall promptly refund such amounts to the Seller.
(j) Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 7.03 of the Transfer Agreement, the Purchaser Agent shall, if such amounts have not been applied to the Seller Obligations, segregate the Unrelated Amounts and the same shall not be deemed to constitute Collections on Transferred Receivables.

Such disbursement shall constitute the final payment to which the Seller is entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.09. Capital Requirements; Additional Costs.
(a) If any Affected Party shall have determined that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by such Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Affected Party against commitments made by it under this Agreement or any other Related Document and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its commitments hereunder or thereunder, then the Seller shall from time to time upon demand by the Purchaser Agent pay to the Purchaser Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such reduction together with interest thereon from the date of any such demand until payment in full at the Index Rate. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by the Affected Party to the Seller shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto (absent manifest error) for all purposes.
(b) If, due to any Regulatory Change (other than any such change with regard to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.08(g)), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any commitment hereunder or under any other Related Document, including with respect to any Purchases or Capital Investment, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or thereunder, including with respect to any Purchases or Capital Investment (any such increase in cost or reduction in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as “Additional Costs”), then the Seller shall, from time to time upon demand by the Purchaser Agent, pay to the Purchaser Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such Additional Costs together with interest thereon from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Index Rate. Each Affected Party agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to above that would result in any such Additional Costs, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by the Seller pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).
(c) Determinations by any Affected Party for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making, funding or maintaining any commitments hereunder or under any other Related Documents or on amounts payable to it hereunder or thereunder or of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Party in respect of any Additional Costs shall be set forth in a written notice to the Seller in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Seller (absent manifest error) for all purposes.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Purchaser to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Purchase, then, unless that Purchaser is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Rate Purchase at another branch or office of that Purchaser without, in that Purchaser’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its Capital Investment or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Purchaser to the Seller through the Purchaser Agent, (i) the obligation of such Purchaser to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Purchases shall terminate and (ii) Seller shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Rate Purchases owing to such Purchaser, together with Daily Yield accrued thereon, unless Seller, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts all such LIBOR Rate Purchases into Index Rate Purchases.

Section 2.10. Breakage Costs. The Seller shall pay to the Purchaser Agent for the account of the applicable Purchaser, upon request of such Purchaser, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Purchaser for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser) as a result of any reduction by the Seller in Capital Investment in any LIBOR Rate Purchase (and accompanying loss of Daily Yield thereon) other than on a Settlement Date, which compensation shall include an amount equal to any loss or expense incurred by such Purchaser during the period from the date of such reduction to (but excluding) such Settlement Date if the rate of interest obtainable by such Purchaser upon the redeployment of funds in an amount equal to such reduction is less than the interest rate applicable to the deemed investment described below (any such loss, cost or expense, “Breakage Costs”). The determination by such Purchaser of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Seller in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Seller (absent manifest error) for all purposes. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.10, each Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have actually funded its Capital Investment through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the applicable LIBOR Rate used in calculating the Daily Yield Rate with respect to its Capital Investment and maturing on the next Settlement Date; provided that each Purchaser may fund its Capital Investment in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 2.10. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Seller Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. The determination by any Purchaser of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Seller in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Seller (absent manifest error) for all purposes.
Section 2.11. Non-Funding Purchasers. (a) If a Purchaser becomes a Non-Funding Purchaser, then, so long as such Purchaser remains a Non-Funding Purchaser in accordance with clause (b) below, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any amount paid by the Seller for the account of a Non-Funding Purchaser under this Agreement (whether on account of Capital Investment, Daily Yield, Fees, Breakage Costs, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Non-Funding Purchaser, but will, so long as such Purchaser is a Non-Funding Purchaser, instead be retained by the Purchaser Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account (the “Non-Funding Purchaser Account”), until the Termination Date and will be applied by the Purchaser Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts, if any, due and owing by such Non-Funding Purchaser to the Purchaser Agent under this Agreement, together with interest thereon owing at the Index Rate; second to the payment of Daily Yield due and payable to the Other Purchasers, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such Daily Yield then due and payable to them; third to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Other Purchasers, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them; fourth, if as of any Settlement Date the Capital Investment of any Other Purchaser exceeds its Pro Rata Share (as determined without giving effect to the proviso in the definition thereof) of the total Capital Investments, to repay the Capital Investments of each such Other Purchaser in the amount necessary to eliminate such excess, pro rata based on the Capital Investments of the Other Purchasers; fifth, to make any other mandatory reductions of Capital Investments of the Other Purchasers required under Section 2.08, pro rata based on the Capital Investment of such Other Purchasers; sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Other Purchasers; and seventh to pay any Daily Yield, Capital Investment or other amounts owing under this Agreement to such Non-Funding Purchaser in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.08(b) hereof or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided that funds shall be redirected from the Non-Funding Purchaser Account to pay amounts owed under clauses second through sixth solely after application of other funds on deposit in the Agent Accounts and only to the extent that such other funds are insufficient to make such payments.
Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement
12
Any funds redirected from the Non-Funding Purchaser Account to make payments under clauses second through sixth above shall not be deemed to be payment by the Seller for purposes of determining whether a Termination Event has occurred and shall not discharge any obligations of the Seller to make such payment. To the extent that any Other Purchasers have been paid with amounts redirected from the Non-Funding Purchaser Account, the Non-Funding Purchaser shall, from and after payment in full of all Daily Yield, Capital Investment and other amounts owed to the Other Purchasers, be subrogated to the rights of the Other Purchasers to the extent of any such payments from the Non-Funding Purchaser Account under clause seventh above.
(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Purchaser Agent shall be authorized at any time that any Commitments remain outstanding, at its sole and absolute discretion, after payment of any amounts owed under clause first of the first sentence of clause (a) above, to (i) retain amounts in any Non-Funding Purchaser Account in an amount up to the related Non-Funding Purchaser’s unfunded Commitment and (ii) use any portion of such retained amounts to pay such Non-Funding Purchaser’s funding obligations hereunder. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Purchaser becoming due and payable, the Purchaser Agent shall be authorized to use such the amounts in a Non-Funding Purchaser’s Non-Funding Purchaser Account to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Purchaser. Upon the termination of all Commitments, any amounts in any Non-Funding Purchaser Account shall be applied in accordance with the first sentence of clause (a) above.
(c) If the Seller and the Purchaser Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Non-Funding Purchaser should no longer be deemed to be a Non-Funding Purchaser, the Purchaser Agent will so notify the other parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.11(a), such Non-Funding Purchaser will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Capital Investment of the Other Purchasers and/or make such other adjustments as the Purchaser Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Capital Investment of all of the Purchasers to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Purchaser will cease to be a Non-Funding Purchaser, provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Seller while such Purchaser was a Non-Funding Purchaser; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, such notification will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Purchaser’s having been a Non-Funding Purchaser.
Section 2.12. [Reserved].
Section 2.13. Register; Registered Obligations.
(a) Register. The Purchaser Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.13(a), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.01 (or at such other address as the Purchaser Agent may notify the Seller) (i) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Purchaser Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser in the Purchaser Interests and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (ii) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Purchasers (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 12.01 and 12.02), (2) the Commitment of each Purchaser, (3) the amount of each Capital Purchase, (4) the amount of any Capital Investment or Yield due and payable or paid, and (5) any other payment received by the Purchaser Agent from the Seller and its application to the Seller Obligations.

(b) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser Interests (including any notes evidencing such Purchaser Interest) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Purchasers and their assignees in and to such Purchaser Interests, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.13 and Section 12.02 shall be construed so that the Advances are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRC and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

(iii) If, for any reason, the Collection Account Agreement relating to a Collection Account terminates or the Collection Account Bank fails to comply with its obligations under such Collection Account Agreement, then the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser Agent thereof and the Seller, the Servicer or the Purchaser Agent, as the case may be, shall instruct all Obligors who had previously been instructed to make wire payments to a Collection Account maintained at any such Collection Account Bank to make all future payments to a new Collection Account in accordance with this Section 6.01(b)(iii). The Seller shall not close any Collection Account unless it shall have (A) received the prior written consent of the Purchaser Agent, (B) established a new account with the same Collection Account Bank or with a new depositary institution satisfactory to the Purchaser Agent, (C) entered into an agreement covering such new account with such Collection Account Bank or with such new depositary institution substantially in the form of the Collection Account Agreement or that is satisfactory in all respects to the Purchaser Agent (whereupon, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Related Documents, such new account shall become a Collection Account, such new agreement shall become a Collection Account Agreement and any new depositary institution shall become the Collection Account Bank), and (D) taken all such action as the Purchaser Agent shall reasonably require to perfect a first priority security interest in such new Collection Account to the Purchaser under Section 7.01 of this Agreement.

REMEDIES

If any Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing or the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, then the Purchaser Agent may exercise in respect of the Seller Assets, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies granted to it hereunder, under any other Related Document or under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Seller Obligations or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, may take the following actions:
(a) The Purchaser Agent may, without notice to the Seller except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, (i) charge, offset or otherwise apply amounts payable to the Seller from the Agent Account or the Collection Accounts against all or any part of the Seller Obligations and (ii) without limiting the terms of Section 7.05(d), notify any Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Seller Assigned Agreements of the transfer of the Transferred Receivables to the Seller and the assignment of such Transferred Receivables or Seller Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Purchaser Agent on behalf of the Specified Parties hereunder and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Seller thereunder be made directly to the Purchaser Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lockbox or other account designated by the Purchaser Agent.
(b) If the Facility Termination Date has occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 by declaration or otherwise, Purchaser Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Seller Assets or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or any of the Purchasers’ or Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Purchaser Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Purchaser Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Seller’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any of the Seller’s premises without charge for such sales at such time or times as the Purchaser Agent deems necessary or advisable. The Seller agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten days’ notice to the Seller of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.

The Purchaser Agent shall deposit the net proceeds of any such sale in the Agent Account and such proceeds shall be applied against all or any part of the Seller Obligations.

(c) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 9.01(b), the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date thereof, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impracticable to make immediate delivery, all of the Seller Assets sold on such date, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall vest in such purchaser or purchasers upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Purchaser Agent or by any such purchaser, the Seller shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
(d) At any sale under Section 9.01(b), any Purchaser or the Purchaser Agent may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.
(e) The Purchaser Agent may (but in no event shall be obligated to) exercise, at the sole cost and expense of the Seller, any and all rights and remedies of the Seller under or in connection with the Seller Assigned Agreements or the other Seller Assets, including any and all rights of the Seller to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Seller Assigned Agreements.

The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Related Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the Related Documents against the Seller, the Servicer or the Seller Assets shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Purchaser Agent in accordance with the Related Documents for the benefit of all the Purchasers; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Purchaser Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Purchaser Agent) hereunder and under the Related Documents, (ii) any Purchaser from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.07 (iii) the Requisite Purchasers or the Requisite 8.01 Purchasers, as applicable, from directing the Purchaser Agent to take actions expressly contemplated herein (including any action described in the final paragraph of Section 8.01 hereof) or (iv) any Purchaser from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other

The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Seller Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full. The powers conferred on the Purchaser Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the security interest of the Purchaser Agent and the Purchasers upon and interests in the Seller Assets and shall not impose any duty upon the Purchaser Agent to exercise any such powers. The Purchaser Agent shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Purchaser Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Seller, any Originator, any Transferor, the Servicer or any other Person for any act or failure to act, except to the extent of damages attributable to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Related Document to the contrary, the Purchaser Agent shall not exercise any powers pursuant to any Power of Attorney unless a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.

Any assignment by a Purchaser shall (i) unless (A) a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (B) the assignee is an Affiliate of a Purchaser, require the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) if the assignee is an Affiliated Party require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; (iii) require the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12.02(b) or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser Agent, and acknowledged by, the Purchaser Agent, a copy of which is delivered to the Seller and other than in the case of an assignment by a Purchaser to one of its Affiliates, the written consent of the Purchaser Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and, only if and so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (iv) if a partial assignment, (A) be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assigning Purchaser shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and (B) constitute a ratable assignment of the Revolving Purchaser Interest and the Term Purchaser Interest such that, after giving effect to such assignment, such assignee Purchaser’s and assignor Purchaser’s respective pro rata shares of Capital Investment in respect of the Revolving Purchaser Interest are equal to such assignee Purchaser’s and assignor Purchaser’s respective pro rata shares of the Capital Investment in respect of the Term Purchaser Interest; (v) require the delivery to the Seller and Purchaser Agent by the assignee or participant, as the case may be, of any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States tax withholding matters; (vi) other than in the case of an assignment by a Purchaser to one of its Affiliates, include a payment to the Purchaser Agent by the assignor or assignee Purchaser of an assignment fee of $3,500; and (vi) any assignment by a Non-Funding Purchaser (including to any Affiliate thereof) shall require the prior written consent of the Purchaser Agent. In the case of an assignment by a Purchaser under this Section 12.02, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Purchaser hereunder. The assigning Purchaser shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. The Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b) will give rise to a direct obligation of the Seller to the assignee and that the assignee shall thereupon be a “Purchaser” for all purposes. In all instances, each Purchaser’s obligation to make Purchases and maintain Capital Investment hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02(b), any Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of such Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank or to any holder or trustee of such Purchaser’s securities; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment to any Federal Reserve Bank, holder or trustee shall release such Purchaser from such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document and no such holder or trustee shall be entitled to enforce any rights of such Purchaser hereunder unless such holder or trustee becomes a Purchaser hereunder through execution of an Assignment Agreement as set forth above.

(c) In addition to the foregoing right, any Purchaser may, without notice to or consent from the Purchaser Agent or the Seller, (x) grant to a Purchaser SPV the option to make all or any part of any Purchase that such Purchaser would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such Purchaser SPV and the making of Purchases pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Purchaser to make such Loans hereunder); (y) assign to a Purchaser SPV all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under the Related Documents, including a sale of any Purchaser Interests, Capital Investment or Seller Obligations hereunder and such Purchaser’s right to receive payment with respect to any such Purchaser Interests, Capital Investment or Seller Obligations and (z) sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Related Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Purchases and the Capital Investment); provided, however, that (x) no such grant or assignment shall relieve the Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement; (y) no such Purchaser SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Purchases hereunder, and none shall be liable to any Person for any obligations of such Purchaser hereunder (it being understood that nothing in this Section 12.02(c) shall limit any rights the Purchaser may have as against such Purchaser SPV or participant under the terms of the applicable option, sale or participation agreement between or among such parties); and (y) no such Purchaser SPV or holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such Purchaser to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Purchase in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of any scheduled payment of the Capital Investment in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof and (ii) any release of all or substantially all of the Seller Assets (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Related Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, and 10.01, Seller acknowledges and agrees that each such sale or participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Seller to the participant or Purchaser SPV and each such participant or Purchaser SPV shall be considered to be a “Purchaser” for purposes of such sections, provided, however, that the participant provides the Seller the appropriate IRS withholding tax forms prior to the receipt of any payment hereunder claiming a full exemption from U.S. withholding tax. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Purchaser’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the other Purchasers and the Purchaser Agent towards such Purchaser under any Related Document shall remain unchanged and none of the Seller, the Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser (other than the Purchaser selling a participation or assignment to an Purchaser SPV) shall have any duty to any participant or Purchaser SPV and may continue to deal solely with the assigning or selling Purchaser as if no such assignment or sale had occurred.
(d) Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.02, no Purchaser shall, as between the Seller and that Purchaser, or between the Purchaser Agent and that Purchaser, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Purchaser Interests, the Capital Investment or Seller Obligations owed to such Purchaser.
(e) The Seller shall assist any Purchaser permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 12.02 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Purchaser to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the participation of management in meetings with potential assignees or participants. The Seller shall, if the Purchaser Agent so requests in connection with an initial syndication of the Commitments hereunder, assist in the preparation of informational materials for such syndication.

(f) A Purchaser may furnish any information concerning the Seller, the Parent, any Transferor, the Originator, the Servicer and/or the Receivables in the possession of such Purchaser from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants). Each Purchaser shall obtain from all prospective and actual assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 12.05.
Section 12.03. Termination; Survival of Seller Obligations Upon Facility Termination Date.
(a) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by any Affected Party under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of the Seller or the rights of any Affected Party relating to any unpaid portion of the Seller Obligations, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the Facility Termination Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon the Seller and all rights of any Affected Party hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller pursuant to Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X and Sections 11.05, 12.04 and 12.14 shall be continuing and shall survive the Termination Date.

(a) The Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser Agent for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Related Documents (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all of its special counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and advice in connection therewith). The Seller shall reimburse each Purchaser and the Purchaser Agent for all fees, costs and expenses, including the fees, costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) for advice, assistance, or other representation in connection with:
(i) the forwarding to the Seller or any other Person on behalf of the Seller by any Purchaser of any payments for Purchases made by it hereunder;
(ii) any amendment, modification or waiver (whether or not consummated) of, consent with respect to, or termination of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or advice in connection with the administration hereof or thereof or their respective rights hereunder or thereunder;
(iii) any Litigation, contest or dispute (whether instituted by the Seller, any Purchaser, the Purchaser Agent or any other Person as a party, witness, or otherwise) in any way relating to the Seller Assets, any of the Related Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including any Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against the Seller, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to any Purchaser or the Purchaser Agent by virtue of the Related Documents, including any such Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events;

(iv) any attempt to enforce any remedies of a Purchaser or the Purchaser Agent against the Seller, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to them by virtue of any of the Related Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events;
(v) any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events; and

including all reasonable attorneys’ and other professional and service providers’ fees arising from such services, including those in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 12.04, all of which shall be payable, on demand, by the Seller to the applicable Purchaser or the Purchaser Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: reasonable fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram or facsimile charges; secretarial overtime charges; and expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory services.

Section 12.05. Confidentiality.
(a) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or as required to be filed publicly with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or unless the Purchaser Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, the Seller agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and all drafts hereof and documents ancillary hereto), in its communications with third parties other than any Affected Party or any Indemnified Person and otherwise not to disclose, deliver or otherwise make available to any third party (other than its directors, officers, employees, accountants or counsel) the original or any copy of all or any part of this Agreement (or any draft hereof and documents ancillary hereto) except to an Affected Party or an Indemnified Person or any financial institution party to the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Seller agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to) issue any news release or make any public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents without the prior written consent of the Requisite Purchasers and the Purchaser Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such news release or public announcement is required by law, in which case the Seller shall consult with the Purchaser Agent and any Purchasers specifically referenced therein prior to the issuance of such news release or public announcement. The Seller may, however, disclose the general terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents to trade creditors, suppliers and other similarly-situated Persons so long as such disclosure is not in the form of a news release or public announcement.
(c) The Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), and will not use such confidential Information for any purpose or in any matter except in connection with this Agreement, except that Information may be disclosed (1) to (i) each Affected Party (ii) its and each Affected Party’s and their respective Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and to not disclose or use such Information in violation of Regulation FD (17 C.F.R. § 243.100-243.103)) and (iii) industry trade organizations for inclusion in league table measurements, (2) any regulatory authority (it being understood that it will to the extent reasonably practicable provide the Seller with an opportunity to request confidential treatment from such regulatory authority), (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) to the extent required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Related Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (6) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of (or participant in), or any prospective assignee of (or participant in), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (7) with the consent of the Seller or (8) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or any other confidentiality agreement to which it is party with the Seller or the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) becomes available to the Purchaser Agent, or any Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or any subsidiary thereof. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Seller and Servicer relating to the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or their businesses, or any Obligor, other than any such information that is available to the Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Seller or Servicer; provided that in the case of information received from the Seller or Servicer after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Section 12.06. Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.

(iii) In addition, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or Related Document relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Administrative Agent.
(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, consent, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Purchasers, the consent of Requisite Purchasers is obtained, but the consent of other Purchasers whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Purchaser whose consent is not obtained as described this clause (c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Purchaser”), then, so long as the Purchaser Agent is not a Non-Consenting Purchaser, at the Seller’s request the Purchaser Agent, or a Person acceptable to the Purchaser Agent, shall have the right with the Purchaser Agent’s consent and in the Purchaser Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Purchasers, and such Non-Consenting Purchasers agree that they shall, upon the Purchaser Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Purchaser Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments and Purchaser Interests of such Non-Consenting Purchaser for an amount equal to the Capital Investment held by the Non-Consenting Purchaser and all accrued Daily Yield and Fees and expenses with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, consent, waiver or termination requiring the consent of the Administrative Agent and any of the Purchaser Agent, the Requisite Purchasers or the Purchasers, the consent of the Purchaser Agent, the Requisite Purchasers and/or the Purchasers (as is applicable in a particular circumstance) is obtained, but the consent of the Administrative Agent is not obtained, then, at the Seller’s request the Purchaser Agent, or a Person acceptable to the Purchaser Agent, shall have the right with the Purchaser Agent’s consent and in the Purchaser Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from the Administrative Agent (or any Purchaser that is its Affiliate), and the Administrative Agent agrees that it (or such Affiliate) shall, upon the Purchaser Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Purchaser Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments and Purchaser Interests of such Administrative Agent or Affiliate, as applicable for an amount equal to the Capital Investment held by the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate, as applicable, and all accrued Daily Yield and Fees and expenses with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(e) Upon indefeasible payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Seller Obligations (other than indemnification obligations under Section 10.01), termination of the aggregate Commitments of all Purchasers in their entirety and a release of all claims against the Purchaser Agent and Purchasers, and so long as no suits, actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, the Purchaser Agent shall deliver to the Seller termination statements and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the security interest created pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 12.08. No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by any Purchaser or the Purchaser Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Seller or the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Purchaser or the Purchaser Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Seller or the Servicer contained in this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document, and no breach or default by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by any Purchaser or the Purchaser Agent unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of the applicable Purchasers and the Purchaser Agent and directed to the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agent under this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agent may have hereunder, thereunder, under any other agreement, by operation of law or otherwise. Neither the Purchaser Agent nor any of the Purchasers shall be obligated to exhaust its recourse to or any remedy related to the Seller Assets prior to its enforcement of its rights and remedies against the Seller hereunder.
Section 12.09. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY RELATED DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATION WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST), BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE INTERESTS OF THE PURCHASER AGENT IN THE RECEIVABLES OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW

YORK CITY; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE ANY PURCHASER OR THE PURCHASER AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE SELLER ASSETS OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE SELLER OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE PURCHASERS OR THE PURCHASER AGENT. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 12.01 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
Section 12.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.

Section 12.11. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.12. Section Titles. The section, titles and table of contents contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

Collection Processes
6
Common Pitfalls |
• | Repeated Bounced (NSF/Stop Payment) Checks |
• | Recovery of sales commissions after 120 days |
• | Different terms for the same customer |
• | Sales adjustments vs. write-offs |
• | Customer with cash in advance terms having unpaid invoices |
• | Credit decisions being overridden by General Managers |
• | Credit holds not preventing spots from airing |
• | Collection calls on receipts listed as unapplied |
• | Customers with terms for payment beyond those specified on the invoice |
7
Successful Collections Processing |
1. | Be proactive and anticipate the need, the best practice for collecting happens before the account is past due. |
2. | Always obtain contacts for payments including phone and email information. |
3. | Be a realist. Remember we will always have bad debts. |
4. | Call customers on a consistent basis. Not calling actually trains our customers to pay consistently beyond our terms. |
5. | Get the easy dollars in first, identify the problem accounts and then have the rest of the month to focus on the difficult accounts. |
6. | Communicate to the customer that you are there to help them and not just collect their overdue invoices. |
7. | Remember to always document your calls or email communications entering factual information. |
8. | Always have all your documents in order and at your fingertips. You can quickly answer questions, come across as being knowledgeable, organized and build confidence and respect from the customer. |
9. | Ask for help from your Director’s when you need it in dealing with any problem accounts. |
10. | It’s all about managing your day, staying motivated and not letting others control your time. |
8
Handling Disputes |
Most business-to-business (B2B) collections can be categorized into several reasons for non-payment:
a. | Cash flow problems |
b. | Administrative problems: Missing or lost invoice, missing ISCI, etc. |
c. | Agency policy: They won’t pay until they are paid |
d. | Terms to their vendors are beyond our invoice terms of Net 15/Net 30 days |
e. | Unauthorized deductions |
f. | Maximize their cash flow, pay as late as possible |
g. | Discrepancies |
h. | Default due to being out of business, bankruptcy or other serious problems |
Your | job as a B2B collector is to be able to identify, as soon as possible, define the problem and the real reason for non-payment. |
9
Handling Disputes (continued) |
Be creative and proactive. Remember that a lot of disputes are caused by our own lack of communication the more efficient we are within our own organization, the fewer disputes we will have to deal with. Remember disputes will happen regardless of how astute you are.
When you have a legitimate dispute, you need to weigh the costs against the benefits of continuing the dispute. Sometimes it just isn’t worth it to be “right” and you have to graciously give in to the customer’s demands in the name of goodwill and future business. This needs to be weighed against being a pushover and giving in on everything, we aren’t going to allow ourselves to become “floor mats.”
Some Agencies will dispute every invoice as being discrepant and we need to resolve all discrepancies prior to approval for payment. We are currently looking into methods of handling our relationship and improving on payments made from major Agencies.
We have established and are utilizing the Pikolo System for all Business Units to identify and manage discrepant invoices, identifying and improving the payment cycle for these transactions.
10

Discrepancies
13
Discrepancies |
14
Top Reasons Claimed for Discrepancies |
• | Spots aired outside time period ordered |
• | Spots aired too close together, didn’t meet minimum separation requirements |
• | Charged incorrect rate |
• | Spots didn’t air within the broadcast program that was purchased |
• | Incorrect or missing estimate number on invoice |
• | Aired incorrect copy |
• | Ran unapproved “makegood” spots |

• | Incorrect billing address |
• | Incorrect product code |
• | Revisions and cancellations not processed correctly |
• | Incorrect billing cycle (Broadcast/Calendar) |

• | Incorrect IDB# |
• | Double booked order |
• | Incorrect agency |
• | Manpower Issues (Major reason given by Agencies) |
• | No invoice copy |
• | Incorrect contract entry |
• | Special promotion should have been billed differently |
15
Process for Clearing Discrepancies |
• | Collections Manager contacts the Agency/Client who indicates a discrepancy exists |
• | Collections Manager will generate an email notification to the Sales Team associated with this discrepant invoice |
• | Sales Team takes ownership of the discrepant invoice and communicates with Agency/Client in an attempt to resolve discrepancy |
• | Collections Manager continues to follow-up on a weekly basis with AE/Sales Team until the discrepant invoice is resolved |
• | Sales Team must validate Agency/Client’s reason for not paying invoice (billing mistake, spot not aired, incorrectly aired, on-air discrepancy during spot “playout,” client misconception that did not air) |
• | Once a discrepant invoice is cleared by AE/Sales Team, the AE/Sales Team will send notification to the Collections Manager advising of the outcome of the discrepant invoice |
• | Collections Manager once again contacts the Agency/Client for payment status for all cleared invoices |
• | Collections Manager monitors the discrepant invoice until payment has been received from Agency/Client |
16
Discrepancy Prevention and Resolution |
• | Discrepancies can account for 50% of Network past-due balances |
• | Ensure correct Agency xxxxxxxx for each Advertiser including correct Agency and whether it’s broadcast or calendar |
• | Pikolo System identifies and tracks discrepancies until payments are received |
• | Improving response time for Sales Organization in taking ownership and helping to resolve discrepancies |
• | Require timely issuance of sales adjustments |
17
Pikolo Incident Tracker |
• | Pikolo’s System’s Incident Tracker was deployed company-wide to track discrepancies for all business units |
• | Proactive initiative for identifying and resolving discrepancies, provides metrics for underlying root causes of each discrepant incident |
• | No longer operating in a vacuum establishing timelines from initial identification to resolution |
• | Sales “buy-in” monitoring KPI’s (key performance indicators), days to incident ownership; days to resolution |
• | Identify discrepancy incidents reflected in receivable aging reports |
• | Automatically record payments received for discrepant invoices |

Credit & Collections
26
General Policy |
It is the policy of Univision to extend credit consistent with the dual goal of promoting maximum profitable sales and protecting our investment in accounts receivable with minimum credit loss.
Credit arrangements must be made to enable the Univision, TeleFutura and Galavision Network’s, each TV/Radio Station and Interactive Media to sell competitively and to collect effectively. Every effort is made to build broad and durable relationships based upon positive and constructive attitudes.
27
Scope |
The Univision credit and collection policy is an integral part of the cash management process.
The credit and collection activity starts at the time the standard Credit Application is received by the appropriate Collection Manager and does not cease until the account has been resolved through payment, settlement, adjustment or bad debt write-off, which may involve referral to a Corporate approved collection agency or attorney for litigation.
28
Credit Application Procedure |
In keeping with Univision’s policy of extending credit, we are mindful of our dual goal; to promote maximum profitable sales and protect our investment in accounts receivable with minimal credit losses.
The Account Executive is the first contact with a prospective client. A completed signed Credit Application sets the credit procedure in motion. The standard Univision Credit Application is used by all Network’s TV/Radio Stations and UIM.
Credit investigations help reduce risks. Sound credit decisions are made solely on the basis of adequate credit and financial information concerning both the Advertiser and the Advertising Agency through which the advertiser transacts business. We must acquire pertinent information regarding the nature and financial condition of both, as well as the character of the principals.
29
Credit Application |
• | The 3i Infotech consultant will start the Credit Application process by gathering reports from Dun & Bradstreet and/or from Broadcast Cable Association. |
• | The Account Executive is notified when the Credit Application is approved or declined. |
• | The processed Credit Application is placed in SharePoint for the benefit of other Credit Managers and Business Managers. If the Credit Application is declined, the client is notified and alternative payment terms such as Cash in Advance are offered. |
• | Some Agencies refuse to sign the Univision Credit Application due to the joint and several condition listed on the Credit Application. |
• | Credit decisions can still be overriden by the General Manager’s at the Market’s. |
30
Credit Review Procedures |
The primary sources of this essential information are as follows:
A. | Credit Reporting Agencies |
A credit file is created from the credit ratings or reports from Dun & Bradstreet and/or from Broadcast Cable Credit Association (“BCCA”) or other comparable credit reporting agencies.
B. | Information Furnished by Customers. |
Whenever possible, it is desirable to obtain financial information about the potential advertiser as well as about the agency. Such information is valuable in supplementing the D&B reports, which sometimes provide limited or inadequate information.
C. | Credit Interchange |
The exchange of credit information, between Univision and other industry sources or through an interchange bureau such as the one operated by the National Association of Credit Management, is an integral part of the credit investigation procedure. All information received or given in response to inquiries from other parties must, in every instance, be treated confidentially.
31
Credit Review Procedures |
D. | A welcome letter is sent to the client if credit is approved to reinforce Univision’s credit terms and establish our joint and several liability position. In addition, if the Credit Application is declined the client is notified and the alternative payment terms such as Cash in Advance are offered. |
32
Collection Process |
A. | Goals for the Collection Department: |
• | Improve cash flow and reduce DSO’s (Days Sales Outstanding) through increased collections using timely and systematic follow-up employing e-mails, telephone and appropriate collection letters. |
• | Reduce Collection Agency referrals by utilizing improved credit evaluations and collection procedures and techniques. Timely and consistent follow-up is required using a courteous but firm approach. |
B. | Collection Standards, and Guidelines: |
• | The Univision collection activities are an extension of the activities set in motion by our Sales Department. Every effort is made by the Collections Department to build broad and durable relationships with the Sales Department based upon positive and constructive attitudes resulting in effective collections for past due accounts. |
33
Collection Process |
C. | Monitoring Accounts: |
• | Collection Manager’s monitor accounts to ensure that payment commitments are made. Credit is an ongoing process, it needs to be evaluated and re-evaluated. If the information gathered indicates a declining financial condition, every effort must be made to protect and reduce our credit exposure. |
D. | Collection Agencies and Write-Offs: |
• | After all collection efforts have been exhausted by the Collection Manager and the Account Executive the account will be referred to a Corporate approved Collection Agency. |
• | Bad Debt Write-Offs, all accounts that have been referred to an approved Collection Agency and have been termed uncollectible are written-off to Bad Debt Reserve. |
34
Collection Activities |
• | Collection Manager’s send statements to all customers via e-mail as soon as the prior month is closed. |
• | Account Coordinators confirm that the invoices have been received, that there are no discrepancies, and that the invoice is in process for payment. |
• | Collection Manager’s send a letter at 45 days of all activities over 60+ days as of month-end. |
• | Resume telephone collections follow-up. Give priority to key/high volume accounts and accounts in payment default from prior months. |
• | When discrepancies are reported, assistance from the Account Executive or Sales Manager must be requested immediately. To assure timely resolution to all discrepancies weekly follow-up must occur. |
• | Place joint telephone calls utilizing a Director of Collections or Senior Collections Management and a Sales Manager if necessary on problem accounts. |
• | Comply with clients and AE’s requests involving reconciliation of accounts, payment history, invoice copies and various miscellaneous requests. |
35
Collection Activities |
• | Obtain up-to-date aging reports reflecting the most-current account status. |
• | Review the unapplied cash report daily to identify payments that pertain to your Market’s. |
• | Utilize every possible method to get payments delivered before the end of the month, such as Messenger Service, Express Mail or via Federal Express. |
• | Payment plans are offered to customers with delinquent accounts. |
• | Monitor all payment plans on a weekly/monthly basis to make sure that payment is received as agreed. |
