WHEREAS the Subject Accounts (as defined below) have been designated for removal;
WHEREAS pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, Transferor wishes to remove from Buyer all Transferred Receivables owned by Buyer in the Subject Accounts and to cause Buyer to reconvey the Transferred Receivables of such Removed Accounts, whether now existing or hereafter created, from Buyer to Transferor;
WHEREAS Buyer is willing to accept such designation and to reconvey the Transferred Receivables in the Removed Accounts subject to the terms and conditions hereof; and
WHEREAS Buyer and Transferor desire to amend the Transfer Agreement as set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, Transferor and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All terms defined in the Transfer Agreement and used herein shall have such defined meanings when used herein, unless otherwise defined herein.
“Removal Date” means, with respect to the Removed Accounts designated hereby, February 26, 2009.
“Removal Cut-Off Date” means, with respect to the Removed Accounts, February 21, 2009.
2. Designation of Removed Accounts. All Accounts listed on Schedule 1 to this Reassignment (the “Subject Accounts”) are designated as Removed Accounts pursuant to this Reassignment. Schedule 1 to this Reassignment, as of the Removal Date, shall supplement Schedule 1 to the Transfer Agreement as required by Section 2.1(c) of the Transfer Agreement.
3. Conveyance of Transferred Receivables. (a) Buyer does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Transferor, without representation, warranty or recourse, on and after the Removal Cut-Off Date, all right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Transferred Receivables existing at the close of business on the Removal Cut-Off Date and thereafter created from time to time in the Removed Accounts designated hereby, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, together with all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all Insurance Proceeds related thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing.
(b) In connection with such transfer, Buyer agrees to execute and deliver to Transferor on or prior to the date this Reassignment is delivered, applicable termination statements prepared by Transferor with respect to the Transferred Receivables existing at the close of business on the Removal Cut-Off Date and thereafter created from time to time in the Removed Accounts reassigned hereby and the proceeds thereof evidencing the release by Buyer of its interest in the Transferred Receivables in the Removed Accounts, and meeting the requirements of applicable state law, in such manner and such jurisdictions as are necessary to terminate such interest.
4. Amendment to Transfer Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirement in Section 2.7(a)(iv)(D) of the Transfer Agreement that Accounts be chosen for removal on a random basis, the Subject Accounts may be designated as Removed Accounts pursuant to this Reassignment. Such Removed Accounts have been selected from the Accounts relating to Sam’s Club Retailers, Wal-Mart Retailers, JCPenney Retailers and Lowe’s Retailers and have been selected for removal based on credit scores. The Transferor shall not be required to deliver an Officer’s Certificate regarding the statements made in Section 2.7(a)(iv)(D) in connection with the Subject Accounts.
5. Representations and Warranties of Transferor. Transferor hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the Removal Date:
(a) Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. This Reassignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Transferor enforceable against Transferor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity);
Reassignment
No. 4 and Eighth
Amendment to Transfer Agreement
(b) Early Amortization Event. Transferor reasonably believes that (i) the Transferor has used reasonable efforts to avoid having the removal of the Transferred Receivables existing in the Removed Accounts designated hereby cause an Early Amortization Event to occur with respect to any series, and (ii) no selection procedure believed by Transferor to be materially adverse to the interests of Buyer or any of its creditors has been used in removing Removed Accounts designated hereby from among any pool of Accounts of a similar type (it being understood that Transferor will not be deemed to have used such an adverse selection procedure in connection with any Involuntary Removal) as of the Removal Date;
(c) List of Removed Accounts. The list of Removed Accounts attached hereto as Schedule 1, is an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of all the Removed Accounts as of the Removal Cut-Off Date; and
(d) Receivables Tests. The aggregate Outstanding Balance of Principal Receivables in the Removed Accounts did not exceed the lesser of (A) the excess of the Free Equity Amount over the Minimum Free Equity Amount or (B) the excess of the Note Trust Principal Balance over the Required Principal Balance, all measured as of the end of the most recently ended Monthly Period.
6. Effectiveness. This Reassignment shall become effective as of the date first written above; provided that (i) Buyer and Transferor shall have executed a counterpart of this Reassignment, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to this Reassignment and (iii) the Transferor shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Issuer certifying that the amendments in Section 4 of this Reassignment will not cause an Adverse Effect (as such term is defined in the Indenture).
7. Binding Effect; Ratification. (a) On and after the execution and delivery hereof, (i) this Reassignment shall be a part of the Transfer Agreement and (ii) each reference in the Transfer Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereunder” or words of like import, and each reference in any other Related Document to the Transfer Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to such Agreement as amended hereby.
(b) Except as expressly amended hereby, the Transfer Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.
8. Miscellaneous. (a) THIS REASSIGNMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
(b) Headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of this Reassignment.
(c) This Reassignment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Executed counterparts may be delivered electronically.
9. No Recourse. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Reassignment is executed and delivered by BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, not individually or personally but solely as trustee of the Buyer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Buyer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Buyer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto and (d) under no circumstances shall BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Buyer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Buyer under this Reassignment or any other related documents.
