This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 5, 2012, among MOOG RECEIVABLES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (the “Seller”), MOOG INC., a New York corporation (“Moog”), as initial servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”), MARKET STREET FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Issuer”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“PNC”), as administrator (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrator”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I. References in the Exhibits hereto to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
The Seller desires to sell, transfer and assign an undivided variable percentage interest in a pool of receivables, and the Issuer desires to acquire such undivided variable percentage interest, as such percentage interest shall be adjusted from time to time based upon, in part, reinvestment payments that are made by the Issuer.
In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
Section 1.1. Purchase Facility. (a) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Issuer hereby agrees to purchase, and make reinvestments of, undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date. Under no circumstances shall the Issuer make any such purchase or reinvestment if, after giving effect to such purchase or reinvestment, the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Purchased Interest would exceed the Purchase Limit.
(b) The Seller may, upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the Administrator, terminate the purchase facility provided in this Section in whole or, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided, that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $50,000,000.
Section 1.2. Making Purchases. (a) Each purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder shall be made upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (the “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrator in accordance with Section 5.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator before 11:00 a.m., New York City time) at least two Business Days before the requested purchase date, which notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $250,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000, being the Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased), (B) the date of such purchase (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in Capital.
(b) On the date of each purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder, the Issuer shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Seller in same day funds (Redacted information) an amount equal to the Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased.
(c) Effective on the date of each purchase pursuant to this Section and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer) an undivided percentage ownership interest in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.
(d) To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties) a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security, (iv) the Lock-Box Accounts (and the related lock-boxes) and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts (and such related lock-boxes) and such amounts on deposit therein, (v) all books and records evidencing each Receivable, and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Seller in any accounts into which Collections are or may be received and (vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties) shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Issuer, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.
(e) The Administrator shall hold, in its name, (i) the Purchased Interest for the benefit of the Issuer, and (ii) the security interest in the Pool Assets granted pursuant to clause (d) above for the benefit of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties. Each of the parties hereto expressly recognizes and agrees that the Administrator may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made hereunder in order to perfect the transfer of the Purchased Interest from the Seller to the Issuer and the security interest granted by the Seller pursuant to clause (d) above, that such listing, with respect to the Purchased Interest, shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee owner to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Issuer (and, if applicable, the
2
Affected Persons and Indemnified Parties) and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Issuer as the beneficial owner of the Purchased Interest. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrator other than those expressly and specifically undertaken under the Transaction Documents. The Administrator shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth herein, this Agreement does not establish any fiduciary duty or relationship on the part of the Administrator with respect to the Issuer, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or otherwise exist, against the Administrator.
Section 1.3. Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the date of the initial purchase hereunder. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, the Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than a Termination Day. From and after the occurrence of any Termination Day, the Purchased Interest shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived by the Administrator) be deemed to be 100%. The Purchased Interest shall become zero on the Final Payout Date.
Section 1.4. Settlement Procedures. (a) The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.
(b) The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer:
(i) set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties), out of the Issuer’s Share of such Collections:
first, an amount equal to the Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not previously set aside;
second, an amount equal to the fees set forth in the Fee Letter accrued and unpaid through such day; and
third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the Issuer’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside;
3
(ii) subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller, on behalf of the Issuer, the remainder of the Issuer’s Share of such Collections. Such remainder shall be automatically reinvested in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the Issuer (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) all or a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%;
(iii) if such day is a Termination Day, set aside, segregate and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties) the entire remainder of the Issuer’s Share of the Collections; provided, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator, such previously set-aside amounts shall be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions; and
(iv) release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any Collections in excess of: (x) amounts required to be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii) plus (y) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i), the proviso to clause (ii) and clause (iii) plus (z) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables.
(c) The Servicer shall deposit into the Administration Account (or such other account designated by the Administrator), on each Settlement Date (or solely with respect to Collections held for the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties) pursuant to clause (f)(iii) such other date approved by the Administrator with at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrator of such payment), Collections held for the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties) pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (f) plus the amount of Collections then held for the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties) pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if Moog or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination Day and the Administrator has not notified Moog (or such Affiliate) that the right to retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represent the Issuer’s Share of the Servicing Fee is revoked, Moog (or such Affiliate) may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represents the Issuer’s Share of the Servicing Fee in payment in full of the Issuer’s Share of accrued servicing fees so set aside. On the last day of each Settlement Period, the Administrator will notify the Servicer by facsimile of the amount of Discount accrued with respect to each Portion of Capital during such Settlement Period or portion thereof.
4
(d) Upon receipt of funds deposited into the Administration Account pursuant to clause (c), the Administrator shall cause such funds to be distributed as follows:
(i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100%:
first, to the Issuer in payment in full of all accrued Discount and fees (other than Servicing Fees) with respect to each Portion of Capital; and
second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c), to the Servicer (payable in arrears on each Settlement Date) in payment in full of the Issuer’s Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside; and
(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%:
first, to the Issuer in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital;
second, to the Issuer in payment in full of Capital (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%);
third, to the Servicer in payment in full of all accrued Servicing Fees; and
fourth, if the Capital and accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital have been reduced to zero and all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer have been paid in full, to the Issuer, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller hereunder.
After the Capital, Discount, fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to the Issuer, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.
(e) For the purposes of this Section 1.4:
(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment;
5
(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 1(g) or 1(n) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full;
(iii) except as provided in clause (i) or (ii), or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and
(iv) if and to the extent the Administrator, the Issuer, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding relating to such Obligor) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by the Administrator, the Issuer, such Affected Person or such Indemnified Party, as the case may be, but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Administrator, the Issuer, such Affected Person or such Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.
(f) If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Capital of the Purchased Interest) or any Portion of Capital, the Seller may do so as follows:
(i) the Seller shall give the Administrator and the Servicer written notice in the form of Annex C at least two Business Days prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of such Portion of Capital which notice shall include the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence;
(ii) on the proposed date of the commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections with respect to such Portion of Capital (including any related Discount) not to be reinvested until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and
(iii) the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties), for payment to the Administrator of such Portion of Capital on (1) the next Settlement Date immediately following the current Settlement Period or (2) such other date approved by the Administrator with at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrator of such payment, and the applicable Portion of Capital shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to the Administrator only when in fact finally so paid;
6
provided, that (a) the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the entire Capital of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof unless reduced to zero, (b) the Seller shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Settlement Period and (c) if two or more Portions of Capital shall be outstanding at the time of any proposed reduction, such proposed reduction shall be applied, unless the Seller shall otherwise specify in the notice given pursuant to Section 1.4(f)(i), to the Portion of Capital with the shortest remaining Settlement Period.
Section 1.5. Fees . The Seller shall pay to the Administrator certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in a letter, dated as of the Closing Date among the Seller and the Administrator (as such letter agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fee Letter”).
Section 1.6. Payments and Computations, Etc . (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the Administration Account. All amounts received after noon (New York City time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.
(b) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.
(c) All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.
Section 1.7. Increased Costs . (a) If the Administrator, the Issuer, the Liquidity Agent or any Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably determines that either the
(i) the existence of or compliance with any of the Specified Regulations; or
(ii) the adoption, amendment or any change in interpretation or in application of any of the laws, rules, regulations, accounting principles, requests, guidance, interpretations or directives described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) below (collectively, “Regulatory Changes”):
(A) any law, rule, regulation or generally accepted accounting principle (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof;
7
(B) any request, guideline or directive from Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law); or
(C) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) the final rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modifications to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted by the United States bank regulatory agencies on December 15, 2009 (the “FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines”, (y) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Xxxx-Xxxxx Act”), and (z) the BASEL Accord; or
(D) any existing or future rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from any Governmental Authority relating to the FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act or the BASEL Accord (whether or not having the force of law);
affects or would affect in either case described (i) or (ii) above, the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, in either such case, within 10 days of demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator), the Seller shall promptly pay to the Administrator, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Regulatory Change or Specified Regulation causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Issuer or the Seller with the assets and liabilities of such Affected Person, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Person may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 1.7. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Affected Persons intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(b) If due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference
8
to Euro-Rate, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Affected Persons intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(c) If such increased costs affect the related Affected Person’s portfolio of financing transactions, such Affected Person shall use reasonable averaging and attribution methods to allocate such increased costs to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. A certificate as to such amounts describing any averaging or attribution methods shall be submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 1.8. Requirements of Law. If, after the date hereof, any Affected Person reasonably determines that any Regulatory Change:
(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) or in the amount of Capital relating thereto, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 1.10 or Excluded Taxes); or
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or the Base Rate hereunder; or
(iii) does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition or requirement;
9
and the result of any of the foregoing is: (A) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of acting as Administrator, or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (B) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, within 5 Business Days of demand therefor by such Affected Person, the Seller shall pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred. A certificate as to such amounts from such Affected Person to the Seller and the Administrator and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 1.9. Inability to Determine Euro-Rate . (a) If the Administrator determines before the first day of any Settlement Period (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Settlement Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Settlement Period, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Settlement Period, then the Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (ii) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Settlement Period, be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.
(b) If, on or before the first day of any Settlement Period, the Administrator shall have been notified by the Issuer or any Liquidity Provider that, the Issuer or such Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Issuer or such Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Issuer or such Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (ii) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (A) on the last day of the then current Settlement Period if the Issuer or such Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day, or (B) immediately, if the Issuer or such Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day.
10
Section 1.10. Taxes. The Seller agrees that any and all payments by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes. If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from any sum payable hereunder to, or for the account of, the Issuer, the Administrator, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, then the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Seller, the Seller agrees that, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for the account of the Issuer, the Affected Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment as may be available to the Seller and acceptable to the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over such Person. If the Seller fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrator, the Issuer, the Affected Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that become payable by such Person as a result of such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to pay any amount to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 1.10 to compensate such Indemnified Party for Indemnified Taxes deducted from any sum paid to such Indemnified Party if (a) such Indemnified Party has failed to deliver the tax forms and provide the other information to Seller required by Section 1.11 on or before the date that Seller deducted the Indemnified Taxes from such sum paid to the Indemnified Party and (b) the Indemnified Taxes would not have been required to be deducted by Seller had such forms been so delivered.
Section 1.11. Tax Forms. Each of the Administrator and the Issuer, and any other Affected Person or Indemnified Party that makes a claim for or demands (individually or through the Administrator or the Issuer) payment by the Seller or the Servicer under this Agreement, agrees to provide the Seller and the Servicer with (A) a copy of an appropriate executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or alternatively, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-9), or any successor forms establishing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding and back-up withholding tax, (i) (x) in the case of the Administrator and the Issuer, on or promptly after the date hereof or (y) in the case of any other Affected Person or Indemnified Party that makes a claim for or demands payment by the Seller or the Servicer under this Agreement, on or promptly after the date on which such Person (or the Administrator or the Issuer on such Person’s behalf) makes such claim or demand, and (ii) upon the occurrence of any event that would require the amendment or resubmission of any such form previously provided hereunder and (B) such other forms or information in connection therewith and related thereto reasonably requested by the Seller or the Servicer.

ARTICLE IV.
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
Section 4.1. Appointment of the Servicer. (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section. Until the Administrator gives notice to Moog (in accordance with this Section) of the designation of a new Servicer following the occurrence of a Termination Event, Moog is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Moog or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), Moog agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Moog shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
(c) Moog acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and the Issuer have relied on Moog’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Moog agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.
(d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator and the Issuer shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-
14
Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Originator, the Administrator shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.
Section 4.2. Duties of the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of the Seller and the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties), the amount of the Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article I. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Pool Receivable and extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable in accordance with its Credit and Collection Policy as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof, and may require the Obligor of a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable to execute and deliver a promissory note to evidence its obligations on such Receivable; provided that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrator in writing, the Servicer shall promptly deliver the original of any such promissory note in a principal amount exceeding (i) if Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing at such time, $0, or (ii) at any other time, $10,000, to the Administrator; and provided, however, that: for the purposes of this Agreement, (i) such extension shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Issuer or the Administrator under this Agreement and (iii) if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and Moog or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, Moog or such Affiliate may make such extension or adjustment only upon the prior approval of the Administrator. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is Moog or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.
(b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness owed to Seller that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Moog or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Moog or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
15
(c) The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. After such termination, if Moog or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
Section 4.3. Lock-Box Arrangements. Prior to the initial purchase hereunder, the Seller shall enter into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and deliver original counterparts thereof to the Administrator. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts (and the related lock-boxes) transferred to the Administrator and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts (and the respective related lock-boxes) redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account (or sent to the applicable related lock-box), and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account (and any such related lock-box), the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, the Issuer or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).
Section 4.4. Enforcement Rights. (a) At any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event:
(i) the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee;
(ii) the Administrator may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Administrator’s (on behalf of the Issuer, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties) and/or the Issuer’s interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee, and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors; and
(iii) the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool
16
Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.
(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator, and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
Section 4.5. Responsibilities of the Seller. (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator or the Issuer of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. The Administrator and the Issuer shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall either of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Moog or the Originator thereunder.
(b) Moog hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Moog shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Moog conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.
Section 4.6. Servicing Fee. (a) Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables. The Issuer’s Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of such fee shall be paid by the Seller on each Settlement Date.
(b) If the Servicer ceases to be Moog or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

3. Separate Existence. Each of the Seller and Moog hereby acknowledges that the Issuer and the Administrator are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from Moog and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Seller and Moog shall take all steps specifically required by the Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrator to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of Moog and any other Person, and is not a division of Moog, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and Moog shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:
(a) The Seller will be a limited purpose limited liability company whose primary activities are restricted in its limited liability company agreement to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from the Originators (or its Affiliates), owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in Pool Assets (or other receivables originated by any Originator or its Affiliates, and certain related assets), (ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool (or other receivables pools originated by any Originator or its Affiliates), and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities;

IV-10
proceedings against it or could file a petition seeking relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy and (ii) at least three years of employment experience with one or more entities that provide, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, advisory, management or placement services to issuers of securitization or structured finance instruments, agreements or securities and (C) has been appointed as an independent director of the Seller in strict compliance with the terms of the Seller’s limited liability company agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or waiver thereof that the Administrator has not consented to in writing).
(d) The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, Moog or any Affiliate thereof;
(e) Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller. The Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee, and a manager, which manager will be fully compensated from the Seller’s funds;
(f) The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto. The Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with Moog (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that Moog shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees;
(g) The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by Moog or any other Affiliate thereof;
(h) All of the Seller’s business correspondence and other communications shall be conducted in the Seller’s own name and on its own separate stationery;
(i) The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of Moog and any other Affiliate thereof;
(j) All financial statements of Moog or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller will contain detailed notes describing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the sale of Receivables on a non-recourse basis to a consolidated entity that, in turn, has sold interests therein. Such financial statements will further describe that the assets of the Seller are not available to satisfy the obligations of Moog or any Affiliate thereof;
IV-11
(k) The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of Moog or any Affiliate thereof;
(l) The Seller will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with Moog or any Affiliate thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of Moog or any Affiliate thereof except as permitted by the Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Moog or any Affiliate thereof (other than Moog in its capacity of Servicer) has independent access. The Seller is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of Moog or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of Moog. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate;
(m) The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with Moog (and any Affiliate thereof). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller nor Moog will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller and Moog will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity; and
(n) Moog shall not pay the salaries of Seller’s employees, if any.
