Each Monthly Report, together with each Quarterly Report, shall be referred to as the “Servicing Reports” with respect to the Diversified Payment Rights.
(d) The Servicer shall, at any time during its normal business hours, upon at least five days’ prior written notice (except during the existence of a Servicer Default or Early Amortization Event, no more than twice per calendar year and at the cost and expense of the Person(s) conducting such audit), permit the SPC, the Indenture Trustee, any Enhancer and/or any Rating Agency rating any Series (or their respective agents) to conduct an audit of the Servicer’s books, records and systems relating to the Diversified Payment Rights (except that during the existence of a Servicer Default or Early Amortization Event, such written
5
notice shall not be required, such Persons may conduct such audits as often as they wish and such audits will be at the Servicer’s expense). Such Persons shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate such audits. Any such audits shall be done without violation of Applicable Laws, including any banking secrecy laws applicable to the Bank, the Servicer and their respective information.
(e) The Servicer shall comply with its organizational documents and all Applicable Laws to which it is subject except to the extent that noncompliance therewith is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) If the Bank is not the Servicer, the Servicer shall maintain its computer systems, used in the servicing of Purchased Diversified Payment Rights, in such a manner so that such systems are compatible with the Bank’s computer system(s) and such systems shall be capable in all material respects of providing the Servicer with at least the same level of performance and information as the Bank’s computer system(s) is/are capable of providing on the Closing Date with respect to the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights.
(g) The Servicer shall, promptly upon becoming aware of any defaulted Purchased Diversified Payment Right (determined in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing practices), give written notice thereof to the SPC, each Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee (provided that no notice need be given for any defaulted Purchased Diversified Payment Right with a face value of US$100,000 or less) and use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain payment of such defaulted Purchased Diversified Payment Right.
(h) If the Bank is not the Servicer, the Servicer shall preserve and maintain its existence as an organization in good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization and, if not a U.S. and/or Jamaican organization, also in the U.S. and/or Jamaica (as necessary).
(i) The Servicer shall make all necessary entries to its computer systems to reflect that the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights are owned by the SPC and have been pledged by the SPC to the Indenture Trustee.
(j) The Servicer shall advise the SPC, the Indenture Trustee, each Trustee and each Enhancer (if any) promptly, and in reasonable detail, of (i) any Lien (other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents) asserted or claim made against any Purchased Diversified Payment Right of which it obtains knowledge, (ii) the occurrence of any breach of which the Servicer has knowledge by the Servicer, the Bank or the SPC of any of their respective representations, warranties and covenants contained in any Transaction Document, (iii) the occurrence of any Early Amortization Event, Default or Servicer Default (or any event that would be an Early Amortization Event, Default or Servicer Default with the expiration of any applicable grace period, the delivery of notice or both) of which the Servicer has knowledge and (iv) the occurrence of any other event of which the Servicer has knowledge that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(k) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Servicer (and, if it is not the Servicer, the Bank) shall, from time to time, at the Bank’s expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
6
necessary or desirable in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment or that the SPC or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, in order to effect more fully the purposes of the Origination Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Sale of the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights thereunder, to protect or evidence more fully the SPC’s right, title and interest in the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights or to enable the SPC, the Indenture Trustee and/or any other Person to exercise or enforce any of their rights in respect thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank shall, upon the reasonable request of the SPC or the Indenture Trustee: (i) execute and file such instruments, documents or notices as may be necessary or, in the opinion of such Person, advisable to accomplish the foregoing, and (ii) indicate on its books and records in the manner requested that the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights have been purchased by the SPC and pledged to the Indenture Trustee and provide to the SPC and/or the Indenture Trustee, upon request, copies of any such records.
(l) The Servicer shall (i) not purport to sell any of the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights or Related Assets or any interest therein to any Person, or create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any of the Collateral or any interest therein, (ii) defend the SPC’s ownership interests in, and the Indenture Trustee’s rights to, the Collateral against, and take such other actions as are necessary to remove, any Lien on (or claim or right in, to or under) the Collateral, and (iii) defend the right, title and interest of the SPC and the Indenture Trustee in, to and under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, in each case other than Liens created pursuant to the Transaction Documents and Liens for taxes, assessments and other governmental charges payable by the SPC and not yet due.
(m) In addition to the Servicing Reports to be delivered to the Rating Agencies and any Enhancer pursuant to Section 3.2, the Servicer shall furnish to each Rating Agency, Controlling Party and Enhancer (at no cost to the Rating Agencies, Controlling Parties or Enhancers) such other information with respect to the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights as such Rating Agency, Controlling Party or Enhancer shall reasonably request and that the Servicer can (in accordance with Applicable Law) reasonably provide; it being understood, that with respect to any such Controlling Party that is not also an Enhancer, such information will be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and distributed by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders and Note Owners pursuant to Section 10.7 of the Indenture.
(n) The Servicer shall hold in trust any Collections that it receives (for any reason whatsoever) in respect of the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights on or after the Closing Date and shall either (i) if the Servicer is not the Bank, deposit such Collections into the Collateral Account promptly (but in any event within five Business Days of the Servicer’s receipt thereof), or (ii) if the Bank is the Servicer, comply with Section 2.1(e) of the Origination Agreement.
(o) The Servicer shall, on or prior to the first New York Business Day of each Quarterly Period, provide to the Indenture Trustee the information (by the delivery of a Required Amount Calculation Report relating to such Quarterly Period or otherwise) required under Sections 3.2 and 4.2 of the Indenture (including the aggregate Required Amount) and any similar provisions in any Indenture Supplement in order for the Indenture Trustee to make the allocations required to be made in such provisions.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS
(b) The Bank (whether or not it is the Servicer) shall pay, out of its own funds, any wiring or similar administrative charges that are imposed in connection with the collection of any Collections and the remitting of such Collections (or related notices and/or Payment Orders) to/from any Person (including any payments to Investors and Enhancers (if any) and sending information to the Bank in order to make arrangements for payment to the applicable DPR Payees). If, instead of being paid for directly by the Bank, any such charges
8
are deducted from the amount of the Collections, then the Bank (whether or not the Servicer) shall promptly indemnify the SPC for such charges by depositing an equivalent amount into a Concentration Account or the Collateral Account; it being understood that the Bank may retain for its own account any amounts received from a DPR Payor, DPR Payee or any other Person as reimbursement for such charges (including any commissions received in connection therewith that are excluded from the definition of Purchased Diversified Payment Rights pursuant to the proviso in the definition thereof).
(c) The Servicer hereby agrees to cause to be established (and maintained in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Transaction Documents) each Concentration Account, each other Trust Account and each other account required to be maintained by the Servicer and/or the SPC pursuant to the Indenture, including any Indenture Supplement and the other Transaction Documents and shall take all steps necessary (if any) on its part to perfect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Trust Accounts.
(d) After its receipt thereof, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts immediately to segregate the Collections from any other payments or similar items received by it, including (i) any payments for which the identified payee is not located in Jamaica and (ii) any commissions that are excluded from the definition of Purchased Diversified Payment Rights pursuant to the proviso in the definition thereof.
(e) The obligation of the Servicer to service the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights is personal to the Servicer, and the parties recognize that another Person may not be qualified to perform such obligations. Accordingly, the Servicer’s obligation to service the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights hereunder, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be specifically enforceable and shall be absolute and unconditional in all circumstances, including during the existence of any Early Amortization Event (including any Servicer Default) or Default; provided that a replacement Servicer may be appointed pursuant to Article IV. The provisions of this subsection shall not preclude the Servicer from subcontracting any or all of its responsibilities hereunder so long as it shall retain supervisory control of any such subcontractor and shall comply with the requirements of Section 5.2 before entering into any such subcontracting arrangement. The Servicer shall ensure, as a condition precedent to entering into any such subcontracting arrangement, that each such subcontractor shall agree to service the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights in accordance with all Applicable Laws (including, to the extent applicable, the Prohibited Nations Acts) and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and has the ability to do so. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Servicer shall be fully responsible for any and all acts or failures to act of any such subcontractor to the same extent as if the Servicer were performing or directly responsible for such subcontractor’s duties and responsibilities.
(f) The Servicer shall not resign from its obligations hereunder except upon its reasonable determination that (i) the performance of such obligations is no longer permissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action that it could take to make such performance permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) by an Opinion of Counsel to the Servicer to such effect and as to clause (ii) by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer, in each case addressed to the SPC, the Indenture Trustee, each Enhancer (if any) and
9
each Rating Agency. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer shall have assumed in writing the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.3.
(g) Each of the SPC and the Indenture Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a revocable power-of-attorney, which power is coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution, to take in the name of the SPC and/or the Indenture Trustee or in its own name all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate, deliver or otherwise realize upon the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights or any writing or other report of any kind held or owned by the SPC or transmitted to or received by the Servicer as payment on account or otherwise in respect of any Purchased Diversified Payment Right.
(h) Except when any Servicer Default exists, the SPC hereby authorizes the Servicer (on behalf of the SPC) to instruct the Indenture Trustee and each Trustee with respect to the investment of funds held in the Trust Accounts.
(i) The Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate on the Sale Termination Date; provided that if the Bank is no longer the Servicer, then the Servicer shall on the Sale Termination Date: (i) transfer all records and documents relating to the Diversified Payment Rights to the Bank (it being understood that the Servicer may retain a copy of all such records and documents) and (ii) execute and deliver all documents and instruments related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Bank.
(i) the amount of Collections corresponding to each Designated Depositary Bank received during such month;
(ii) the aggregate amount allocated during such month pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Indenture;
(iii) the Debt Service Ratio(s) for each Series for such month (including the component amounts of each related item) and whether such ratio(s) is/are below the applicable Trigger Level(s) for such Series; and
(iv) such other information as may be specified pursuant to an Indenture Supplement or as the SPC, the Indenture Trustee, any Controlling Party or any Rating Agency (at no cost to the Rating Agencies or the Enhancers) may reasonably request and that the Servicer may reasonably provide in accordance with Applicable Law.
10
(b) On or before the 15th calendar day of each calendar month following the end of any Quarterly Period, the Servicer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Bank (if no longer the Servicer), the SPC, the Indenture Trustee (for delivery to each Noteholder), each Enhancer (if any) and each Rating Agency a quarterly report substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Quarterly Report”) (with appropriate additions in respect of any Additional Series and including any additional information specified in any Indenture Supplement), together with a Servicer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C. Each Quarterly Report shall identify the following information with respect to the Quarterly Period immediately preceding the Quarterly Period during which such Quarterly Report is delivered:
(i) the amount of Collections corresponding to each Designated Depositary Bank received during the related Quarterly Period;
(ii) the amount to be paid on such Payment Date with respect to interest, principal, Additional Amounts and other payments, respectively, with respect to each Series;
(iii) the Series Balance of each Series after giving effect to all distributions to be made on such Payment Date;
(iv) the Interest Rate corresponding to each Series in effect for the Interest Period in which such Payment Date falls;
(v) the Maximum Quarterly Debt Service calculated as of the close of the related Quarterly Period (both with and without including any Subordinated Notes that may be outstanding);
(vi) the Debt Service Ratio(s) for each Series for the related Quarterly Period and whether any such ratio(s) is below the applicable Trigger Level(s) for such Series; and
(vii) such other information as may be specified pursuant to an Indenture Supplement or as the SPC, the Indenture Trustee, any Controlling Party or any Rating Agency (at no cost to the Rating Agencies or the Enhancers) may reasonably request and that the Servicer may reasonably provide in accordance with Applicable Law.
ARTICLE IV
11
(a) the Servicer shall fail to deliver any report or certificate (including a Servicing Report) required to be delivered by it under this Agreement within five New York Business Days of the due date thereof;
(b) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to have been untrue or incorrect in any respect as of the time it was made (or deemed made) and such untruth or incorrect statement (or the actual circumstances that caused such statement to be untrue or incorrect), alone or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Collateral (including the volume and/or collectibility of the Purchased Diversified Payment Rights), the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the validity or enforceability against it of any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or otherwise on the rights of any Enhancer;
(c) except for payment, monetary transfer or deposit obligations, the Servicer shall fail to perform or observe any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement, which failure: (i) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) shall continue for at least 30 days following the earlier of: (A) an Authorized Officer of the Servicer obtaining Actual Knowledge of such failure and (B) the delivery to the Servicer of written notice of such failure by the SPC, the Indenture Trustee, any Enhancer or any Investor;
(d) the Servicer shall have failed to make any payment, monetary transfer or deposit required to be made by it under this Agreement and such failure shall have continued unremedied for at least one New York Business Day after the date such payment, monetary transfer or deposit is due; or
(e) (i) the Servicer (either individually or as the Servicer) shall commence a voluntary case, proceeding or other action: (A) under any Applicable Law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, intervention, insolvency, reorganization, suspension of payments or relief of debtors seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it or seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other similar official of it or for any substantial part of its property, (ii) an involuntary case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in subclause (i) shall be commenced against the Servicer (either individually or as the Servicer) that: (A) shall result in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) shall remain undismissed, undischarged, unstayed or unbonded for a period of at least 60 days, (iii) an involuntary case, proceeding or other action shall be commenced against the Servicer (either individually or as the Servicer) that seeks issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against any substantial part of its assets that shall result in the entry of an order for any such relief and shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof, (iv) the Servicer (either individually or as the Servicer) shall become subject to intervention proceedings under
12
any applicable bank regulatory or insolvency laws or rules of Jamaica or the United States (including any political subdivision thereof), (v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or (vi) the Servicer shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
(b) The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the SPC and any replacement Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including the transfer to such replacement Servicer of all of its authority to service the Diversified Payment Rights provided for in this Agreement. Upon and after a Servicer Termination, the terminated Servicer shall promptly transfer to the replacement Servicer all records, files and documents, in whatever form whatsoever, necessary for the continued servicing of the Diversified Payment Rights in the manner and at such times as the replacement Servicer shall reasonably request. Each replacement Servicer shall maintain all such information in accordance with Applicable Laws, including any applicable banking secrecy laws.
13
(c) At any time following its assumption of the duties of the Servicer hereunder (unless replaced as described above), a replacement Servicer shall be authorized to take any and all steps in the Bank’s, the SPC’s and the Indenture Trustee’s name as Servicer and on behalf of the Bank, the SPC and the Indenture Trustee that are necessary or reasonably desirable, in the judgment of such replacement Servicer, to collect on the Diversified Payment Rights.
ARTICLE V
(b) Except to the extent otherwise stated in this Agreement, Dollars (or, with respect to any Series issued in a currency other than Dollars, each such other currency) (the “Applicable Currency”) are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable under or in connection with this Agreement, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than the Applicable Currency (whether as a result of, or in the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Servicer or otherwise) (such other currency, the “Judgment Currency”) by any Person in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it shall only constitute a discharge by the payor thereof of its obligations to the extent of the amount of Applicable Currency that such payee is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in such Judgment Currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make such purchase on such date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of Applicable Currency is less than the amount expressed to be due to such Person, then such payor shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, such payor (other than the Indenture Trustee) shall indemnify such payee against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section, it will be sufficient for such payee to certify in a reasonable manner (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of the Applicable Currency been made with the amount so received in such Judgment Currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of the
14
Applicable Currency on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from each party’s other obligations hereunder, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such payee and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due hereunder.
SECTION 5.4 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

SECTION 5.13 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of: (i) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or of any New York State court (in either case sitting in Manhattan, New York City) and (ii) the courts of its own corporate domicile, in each case with all applicable courts of appeal therefrom, with respect to actions brought against it as a defendant for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the ability of any party to this Agreement to bring suit against any other party to this Agreement in any other permissible jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court, any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and any objection based on place of residence or domicile.
(b) The SPC and the Servicer each irrevocably appoint CT Corporation System, with offices at the date hereof at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its authorized agent on which any and all legal process may be served in any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any United States District Court or New York State court (in either case sitting in Manhattan, New York City) (each, a “Designated Court”). Each of the SPC and the Servicer agrees that service of process in respect of it upon such agent, together with written notice of such service sent to it in the manner provided in Section 5.8, shall be deemed to be effective service of process upon it in any such action, suit or proceeding and the Servicer agrees, accepts and recognizes that it will not be able to claim or invoke under any enforcement proceeding, either in the United Sates or in Jamaica, that any default judgment was rendered against it merely by its non-appearance in a Designated Court. Each of the SPC and the Servicer agrees that the failure of such agent to give notice to it of any such service of process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action, suit or proceeding based thereon. If for any reason either such agent shall cease to be available to act as such (including by reason of the failure of such agent to maintain an office in New York City), then each of the SPC and the Servicer, as the case may be, agrees to designate a new agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes of this Section. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Servicer or the SPC to serve any such legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over the other party or bring actions, suits or proceedings against it in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by Applicable Law.
(c) To the extent that the Servicer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or execution, on the ground of sovereignty or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.
18
(d) The Servicer irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claim that any action or proceeding commenced by the SPC or the Indenture Trustee relating in any way to this Agreement should be dismissed or stayed by reason, or pending the resolution, of any action or proceeding commenced by the Servicer relating in any way to this Agreement whether or not commenced earlier. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Servicer shall take all measures necessary for any such action or proceeding commenced by the SPC or the Indenture Trustee to proceed to judgment before the entry of judgment in any such action or proceeding commenced by the Servicer.
(e) To the extent that any party hereto may, in any suit, action or proceeding brought in Jamaica, the United States or in any other jurisdiction arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, be entitled to the benefit of any provisions of Applicable Law requiring any other Person in such suit, action or proceeding to post security for costs or to post a bond to take such action, each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any such benefit to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under Applicable Law.
