CONVEYANCES OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS
SECTION 2.1 Conveyances.
(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Seller and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver (i) this Agreement with a completed Schedule of Collateral Obligations (the Schedule of Collateral Obligations shall be the Schedule of Collateral Obligations to be delivered on the Effective Date under the Loan and Servicing Agreement), and (ii) for each Transferred Asset included in the Schedule of Collateral Obligations, the Assignment Agreement required pursuant to the applicable Underlying Instrument governing such Transferred Asset. Upon receipt of this Agreement and each executed Assignment Agreement, the Seller Conveys to the Purchaser without recourse (except to the extent specifically provided herein), and the Purchaser accepts Conveyance from the Seller (the “Initial Conveyance”), of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) in the Transferred Assets (other than Excluded Amounts).
(b) After the Initial Conveyance, the Seller may Convey additional Collateral Obligations to the Purchaser by delivering written notice thereof to the Facility Agent substantially in the form set forth in Schedule B hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”), designating the date of the proposed Conveyance (a “Subsequent Conveyance Date”) and attaching a supplement to the Schedule of Collateral Obligations identifying the Transferred Assets proposed to be Conveyed. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Loan and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall Convey to the Purchaser without recourse (except to the extent specifically provided herein), and the Purchaser shall accept such Conveyance, on the applicable Subsequent Conveyance Date (each such Conveyance being herein called a “Subsequent Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) in and to each Transferred Asset.
(c) It is the express intent of the Seller and the Purchaser that each Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and/or contribution of such Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser providing the Purchaser with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Transferred Assets. Further, it is not the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that any Conveyance be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties expressed herein, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and other
-4-
applicable law and (ii) the Conveyances by the Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in, to and under all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such Transferred Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing. The Purchaser and its assignees shall have, with respect to such Transferred Assets and other related rights, in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser and its assignees hereunder and under the Underlying Instruments, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.
(d) The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Transferred Assets to secure a debt or other obligation, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller represents and warrants that the Transferred Assets are being transferred with the intention of removing them from the Seller’s estate pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Purchaser assumes all risk relating to nonpayment or failure by the Obligors to make any distributions owed by them under the Transferred Assets. Except with respect to breach of representations, warranties and covenants expressly stated in this Agreement, the Seller assigns each Transferred Asset “as is,” and makes no covenants, representations or warranties regarding the Transferred Assets.
(e) In connection with the Initial Conveyance, the Seller agrees to file or cause to be filed on or prior to the Effective Date (or within one Business Day after the Effective Date), at its own expense, a financing statement or statements with respect to the Transferred Assets Conveyed by the Seller hereunder from time to time meeting the requirements of applicable state law in the jurisdiction of the Seller’s organization to perfect and protect the interests of the Purchaser created hereby under the UCC against all creditors of, and purchasers from, the Seller, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after its receipt thereof.
(f) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary or as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to perfect or protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Transferred Assets Conveyed hereunder or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, in order to accurately reflect the Conveyances contemplated by this Agreement, execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted pursuant hereto) or other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser and xxxx its master computer records (or related sub-ledger) noting the Conveyance to the Purchaser of the Transferred Assets. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Purchaser shall be permitted to sign (if necessary) and file without further action on the part of the Seller, initial financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Seller’s signature; provided that the description of collateral contained in such financing statements shall be limited to only Transferred Assets. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.
-5-
(g) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agree that prior to the time of Conveyance of any Collateral Obligation hereunder, the Purchaser has no rights to or claim of benefit from any Collateral Obligation (or any interest therein) owned by the Seller.
(h) The Transferred Assets acquired, transferred to and assumed by the Purchaser from the Seller shall include the Seller’s entitlement to any surplus or responsibility for any deficiency that, in either case, arises under, out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the foreclosure upon or acceleration of any such Transferred Assets.
SECTION 2.2 Indemnification. Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis the Purchaser and its successors, transferees, and assigns (including each Secured Party) and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements of external counsel (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of any acts or omissions of the Seller and relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of any acts or omissions of the Purchaser relating to this Agreement or the Loan and Servicing Agreement), excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts in respect of any Transferred Asset due to the applicable Obligor’s creditworthiness, (b) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor, (c) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, non-payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Asset, (d) any Excluded Taxes or (e) any punitive, indirect, consequential, special or exemplary damages.
SECTION 2.3 Assignments. It is the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that this Agreement, the Schedule of Collateral Obligations and each Purchase Notice (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”) shall supplement each Assignment Agreement required to be executed under any Underlying Instrument relating to any Transferred Asset, and that whenever possible, each provision of the Transfer Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under each applicable Underlying Instrument and without replacing or superseding such Assignment Agreement. However, to the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between any provision of any Transfer Document, on the one hand, and any provision of any Assignment Agreement, on the other hand, such Assignment Agreement shall control and prevail to the extent any such conflict or inconsistency would invalidate the sale, transfer and assignment contemplated thereby, without invalidating the remainder of such provision of such Transfer Document or the remaining provisions of the Transfer Documents, and to the extent any provision of any Transfer Document would conflict with the Underlying Instrument applicable to any Transferred Asset in a manner that would invalidate the sale, transfer and assignment contemplated hereby, such Underlying Instrument shall be controlling as
-6-
to such provision without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of the Transfer Documents. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any Transfer Document or Assignment Agreement required to be executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of a Transferred Asset in accordance with the terms of the related Underlying Instruments may reflect that (i) the Seller (or any Affiliate or third party from whom the Seller or the applicable Affiliate may purchase Transferred Asset) is assigning such Transferred Asset directly to the Purchaser or (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring such Transferred Asset at the closing of such Transferred Asset.
ARTICLE III
CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT; REPORTING
SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Transferred Collateral Obligations Conveyed on each Purchase Date shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair market value (as agreed upon between the Seller and the Purchaser at the time of such Conveyance) of such Transferred Collateral Obligations as of such date.
SECTION 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Transferred Collateral Obligations Conveyed shall be paid on the related Purchase Date (a) by payment in cash in immediately available funds in an amount not greater than the sum of (i) the proceeds of Advances made to the Purchaser with respect to such Collateral Obligations to be Conveyed on such Purchase Date and (ii) amounts constituting Principal Collections in the Collections Account utilized for a Reinvestment pursuant to Section 8.3(c) of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and/or (b) to the extent not paid in cash, as a Capital Contribution (as defined in the Preference Share Purchase Agreement) by the Seller to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price, as specified by the Seller in the Purchase Notice.
ARTICLE IV

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is a Delaware corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction in which the nature of its business and the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the Transferred Assets and the Related Security and (iii) its ability to perform its obligations under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
-7-
(b) Power and Authority.

(c) Authorization; Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement, each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and all other agreements, instruments and documents which are delivered by it pursuant hereto or thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller, (ii) do not contravene or cause the Seller to be in default in any material respect under (A) its certificate of incorporation or limited liability company agreement, (B) any contractual restriction with respect to any Indebtedness of the Seller or contained in any indenture, loan or credit agreement, lease, mortgage, security agreement, bond, note or other material agreement or instrument binding on or affecting it or its property, or (C) any law, rule, regulation, order, license, requirement, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree applicable to, binding on or affecting it or any of its property and (iii) do not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties (other than Liens created pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document).

(e) Governmental Authorization.

(f) Legality; Validity; Enforceability. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party hereto and thereto, this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (B) equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (C) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
-8-
(g) No Litigation. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Seller, before any court or Official Body having jurisdiction over it or its properties (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, or any of the other Transaction Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any of the other Transaction Documents, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (D) that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any of the Transferred Assets or (E) seeking to impose any excise, franchise, transfer or similar tax upon the conveyance of the Transferred Assets hereunder.
(h) Legal Compliance. The Seller has complied in all respects with all Applicable Laws, judgments, agreements with governmental authorities, decrees and orders with respect to its business and properties and the Transferred Assets, other than non-compliance which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) Tax Status. The Seller has timely filed all federal and other material tax returns (foreign, federal, state, local and otherwise) required to be filed by it and has paid all federal and other material taxes due and payable by it or any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any governmental authority (other than any amount the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Seller). It is not liable for taxes payable by any other Person. No tax lien or similar Adverse Claim has been filed, and no claim has been filed or is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge. Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by the Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents have been paid or shall have been paid if and when due at or prior to the Effective Date or the Purchase Date, as applicable.
(j) Place of Business. The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Seller, and the offices where the Seller keeps all its Records, are located at its address specified in Schedule 4.1(j) attached hereto, or such other locations notified to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement. There are currently no, and during the past four months (or such shorter time as the Seller has been in existence) there have not been, any other locations where the Seller is located (as that term is used in the UCC of the jurisdiction where such principal place of business is located).
(k) Backup Security Interest. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then:
i. this Agreement creates a valid and continuing Lien on the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets in favor of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which security interest is validly perfected under Article 9 of the UCC (to the extent such security interest may be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement under such article), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller;
-9-
ii. the Transferred Assets are comprised of Instruments, Security Entitlements, General Intangibles, Certificated Securities, Uncertificated Securities, Securities Accounts, Investment Property and Proceeds and such other categories of collateral under the applicable UCC as to which the Seller has complied with its obligations as set forth herein;
iii. the Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred Collateral Obligations Conveyed to the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date, free and clear of any Lien;
iv. the Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of any Collateral Obligation to the sale and granting of a security interest in the Collateral Obligations hereunder to the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties;
v. the Seller has caused or authorized the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the security interest in that portion of the Transferred Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in Delaware;
vi. the Seller has not filed or authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statement against the Seller that includes as a description of collateral covering any Collateral Obligation other than financing statements (A) relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or pursuant to any other Transaction Document, or (B) that has been terminated and/or fully and validly assigned to the Collateral Agent on or prior to the Effective Date;
vii. all original executed copies of each underlying promissory note constituting or evidencing any Transferred Collateral Obligation have been or, subject to the delivery requirements contained in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, will be delivered to the Purchaser;
viii. none of the underlying promissory notes that constitute or evidence the Collateral Obligations has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties;
ix. with respect to a Transferred Asset that constitutes a Certificated Security, such certificated security has been delivered to the Purchaser or, will be delivered to the Purchaser and, if in registered form, has been specially Indorsed (within the meaning of the UCC) to the Purchaser or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been registered in the name of the Purchaser upon original issue or registration of transfer by the Seller of such Certificated Security, in each case, promptly upon receipt but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the related Funding Date; provided that any file-
-10-
stamped document, promissory note and certificates including in any Collateral Obligation File shall be delivered as soon as they are reasonably available (even if not within three (3) Business Days of the related Funding Date); and in the case of an Uncertificated Security, by (A) causing the Purchaser to become the registered owner of such uncertificated security and (B) causing such registration to remain effective.
(l) Fair Consideration; No Avoidance for Collateral Obligation Payments. With respect to each Transferred Collateral Obligation sold or contributed hereunder, the Seller sold or contributed such Transferred Collateral Obligation to the Purchaser in exchange for payment, made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in an amount which constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value. Each such Conveyance referred to in the preceding sentence shall not have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Purchaser and, accordingly, no such sale is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under title 11 of the United States Code and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, no such Conveyance shall have been made with the intent to hinder or delay payment to or defraud any creditor of the Seller.
(m) Eligibility of Transferred Collateral Obligations. Each Transferred Collateral Obligation Conveyed hereunder is, at the time of such Conveyance, an Eligible Collateral Obligation. At the time of such Conveyance, no event has occurred and is continuing which could reasonably be expected to affect the collectibility of such Transferred Collateral Obligation or cause it not to be paid in full.
(n) Adequate Capitalization; No Insolvency. The Seller is not the subject of any Insolvency Event. The Seller is solvent and will not become insolvent after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Seller is, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, will be, adequately capitalized for its business as proposed to be conducted in the foreseeable future and does not expect the commencement of any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or similar official in respect of its assets. The Seller executed and delivered each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party for fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value and without the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors or any other Person. The Conveyance by the Seller of the Seller’s interest in the Transferred Assets constitutes a reasonable and practicable action in the ordinary course of the Seller’s business.
(o) True Sale or True Contribution. Each Transferred Asset sold or contributed hereunder shall have been sold or contributed by the Seller to the Purchaser in a “true sale” or a “true contribution.”
(p) True and Complete Information. All information (other than projections and forward-looking information) heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Seller in writing to any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Transferred Assets, or any transaction contemplated hereby is and will be (when taken as a whole) true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, in the case of general economic data, industry information or information relating to third parties, or if not prepared by or under the direction of the Seller, is true and correct in all material respects to the knowledge of the Seller after reasonable inquiry).
-11-
(q) Selection Procedures. In selecting the Transferred Collateral Obligations, no selection procedures were employed which are intended to be adverse to the interests of the Purchaser or the Lenders. The Purchase Price has been determined by the Seller in good faith in accordance with Section 3.1.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS OF THE SELLER
SECTION 5.1 Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the Purchaser that, from the date hereof, and until the termination of this Agreement, unless the Purchaser otherwise consents in writing:
(a) Compliance with Agreements and Applicable Laws. The Seller shall perform each of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and comply with all Applicable Laws, including those applicable to the Transferred Assets and all proceeds thereof, except to the extent that the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) its ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (ii) its assets, operations, properties, financial condition, or business or (iii) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Maintenance of Existence and Conduct of Business. The Seller shall: (i) do or cause to be done all things necessary to (A) preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation and maintain its rights and franchises in its jurisdiction of incorporation and (B) qualify and remain qualified as a corporation in good standing and preserve its rights and franchises in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify and remain qualified and preserve its rights and franchises would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its assets, operations, properties, financial condition, or business; (ii) continue to conduct its business substantially as now conducted or as otherwise permitted hereunder and under its organizational documents (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not prohibit the Seller from entering into similar transactions with other persons); and (iii) at all times maintain, preserve and protect all of its licenses, permits, charters and registrations in each case except where the failure to maintain such licenses, permits, charters and registrations would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its assets, operations, properties, financial condition, or business.
(c) Cash Management Systems: Deposit of Collections. The Seller shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections (if any) it receives to the Collection Account by the close of business on the Business Day following the date such Collections are received by the Seller.

(e) Accounting of Purchases. Other than for tax and consolidated accounting purposes, the Seller will not account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale or contribution of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser; provided that solely for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Purchaser is treated as a “disregarded entity” and, therefore, the Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will not be recognized.
(f) Payment, Performance and Discharge of Obligations. The Seller shall pay, perform and discharge or cause to be paid, performed and discharged promptly all Charges payable by it except where the failure to so pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy such obligation would not, individually or in the aggregate, be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) its ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (ii) its assets, operations, properties, financial condition, or business or (iii) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.
(g) Taxes. The Seller will file on a timely basis all tax returns (including foreign, federal, state, local and otherwise) required to be filed and will pay all taxes due and payable by it or any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Official Body (other than any amount the validity of which is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP are provided on the books of the Seller).
(h) ERISA. The Seller shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to, cause or permit to occur an event that results in the imposition of a Lien on any Transferred Asset under Section 412 of the IRC or Section 303(K) or 4068 of ERISA.
(i) Liens. The Seller shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of its rights under any of the Transaction Documents or on or with respect to any of its rights in the Transferred Assets, in each case other than Permitted Liens.

(j) Change of Name. Etc. The Seller shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller or Purchaser pursuant hereto (or by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Seller or Purchaser) in accordance with Section 2.1(c) seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Seller shall have given the Purchaser at least 30 days prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.
-15-
(k) Sale Characterization. The Seller shall not make statements or disclosures, or treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than for tax or consolidated accounting purposes) in any manner other than as a true sale, contribution or absolute assignment of the title to and sole record and beneficial ownership interest of the Transferred Assets (which, with respect to any Related Security, shall only be to the extent of the Seller’s interest therein) Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder; provided that the Seller may consolidate the Purchaser and/or its properties and other assets for accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP.
(l) Commingling. The Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, deposit or permit the deposit of any funds that do not constitute Collections or other proceeds of any Collateral Obligations into the Collection Account.
(m) Separate Identity. The Seller acknowledges that the Facility Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Agreement in reliance upon the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and each other Affiliate of the Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Section 9.27 and Section 10.5 of the Loan and Servicing Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to this clause (m) as if fully set forth herein, as applicable.
ARTICLE VI
WARRANTY LOANS
SECTION 6.1 Warranty Collateral Obligations. The Seller agrees that, with respect to any Transferred Collateral Obligation, in the event of a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.1(k) or (o) hereof or Sections 9.13 or 9.26 of the Loan and Servicing Agreement or a material breach of any other representation, warranty, undertaking or covenant set forth in Section 4.1(l), (p), (q), (z) or (cc) hereof or Sections 9.15, 9.16, 10.21, 18.3 or 18.5(b) of the Loan and Servicing Agreement that exists as of the related Purchase Date (each such Transferred Collateral Obligation, a “Warranty Collateral Obligation”), no later than 30 days after the earlier of (x) actual knowledge of such breach on the part of a Responsible Officer of the Seller or the Purchaser and (y) receipt by the Seller of written notice thereof, the Seller shall either (a) pay to the Collection Account in immediately available funds the Repurchase Amount with respect to the Warranty Collateral Obligation(s) to which such breach relates or (b) substitute for such Warranty Collateral Obligation(s) one or more Eligible Collateral Obligation with an aggregate Collateral Obligation Amount at least equal to the Repurchase Amount of the Warranty Collateral Obligation(s) being replaced; provided, that no such repayment or substitution shall be required to be made with respect to any Warranty Collateral Obligation (and such Collateral Obligation shall cease to be a Warranty Collateral Obligation) if, on or before the expiration of such 30 day period, the representations and warranties in Article IV with respect to such Warranty Collateral Obligation shall be made true and correct in all material respects (or if such representation and warranty is already qualified by
-16-
the words “material”, “materially” or “Material Adverse Effect”, then such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) with respect to such Warranty Collateral Obligation as if such Warranty Collateral Obligation had been Conveyed to the Purchaser on such day or if the Advances outstanding do not exceed the Borrowing Base. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6.1 caused solely by a failure with respect to one or more Collateral Obligations shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Loan and Servicing Agreement if the Seller otherwise complies with this Section 6.1 with respect to each such Collateral Obligation.
SECTION 6.2 Dilutions, Etc. The Seller agrees that if, on any day following the Revolving Period (x) either (1) an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (2) any Collateral Quality Test or the Minimum Equity Test is not satisfied and (y) the Principal Balance of a Transferred Collateral Obligation that has been sold by the Seller hereunder is either reduced or adjusted as a result of any setoff by the Obligor against the Seller, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Transferred Collateral Obligation in the amount of such setoff and shall, within two (2) Business Days, pay to the Collection Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to such setoff.
